FARMERS ALLIANCE.
Atlanta Journal.

Atlanta Journal.
Rev. r. Fl, Jackson, ex state
senator, was in Atlanta on yestert
day He is president of thenew
organization in Georgia known as
the Farmers Alliance" and from
him we obtained some facts in re.
lation to the new order Mr.. Jack
son is very courteous gentleman,
and as senator made a good repu-
tatiOn for conservatism in legisla-
ton. He is munster of the Bap-
tist denomination.
He says the farmers are at last
organizing in earnest, and that
their combining together now means
something, that this is an organi-
zation that will neither be ridiculed
or driven out of existence, that the
Georgia society is a branch Of a
national union that is chartered
by congress and numbers millions
ofmembers. The movement started
in Texas about ten years ago aud
dragged along slowly until 1885.
when it widened and awakened
much enthusiasm all over the south
and west. About nine months ago
an agent of the National Alliance
came to Georgia and organized the
first SURVEILLANCE in Troup county,
not far from senator Jackson,s
home. Others were organized, ,and
in December state alIialce was
organized at Fort Valley. The
membership in Georgia is fully 30
600 members, and the demand is
great from all portions of the state
for men to come and establish subs
alliances. In short time we will be
quadrupled in numbers.
Mr.. jackson said that the states
of the south were coming in lust as
rapidly as men could be had to 20
to points and instruct as to organs
izing, etc.
"What is the object of this or,
DER" we asked.
"To benefit the farmer. The far
mers pays nearly ali of the tax to
support the government, because
nearly everything he buys is heav-
ly taxed, and what he sells has no
protection" whatever. He pays
more interest for money than any>
body, especially when bought on a
credit; in fact, the farmer is shorn
by everybody and is fostered by
nobody. Everybody is agonized
against the farmer, and it has been
impossible to organize them for
their own protection. We propose
now, after years of suffering. to or
ganize against those who have con-
spired to buy our produce at their
prices and sell us their goods in the
same way"
"How do you proceed?V we ask
ed.
eve have committee to 90 to
certain merchants in every town
and ask them to sell goods to our
merchants at certain price. Some
will do 50 at first and afterwards
all will come in. This is our ex~
perience. We encourage our peo-
pie to pay cash and the induce
ment is great when we get low
prices, as we are doing. Where

Sweet Potatoes.

This is one of our peculiar South
ern products that is not properly
appreciated. We are prone to
follow after Northern or foreign
practices and adopt their special
crops for special purposes, when
We have better at home. English
and Northern farmers grow tur-
nips for stock because their climate
is suited to turnips and not suited
to sweet potatoes. They also grow
Irish potatoes because they can
grow them more successfully than
the sweet potatoes. The sweet
potato, as known in the South, is
a boon that is denied them, Tur>
nips AID Irish potatoes are not to
be compared with sweet potatoes
in respect of ease and cheapness
of production, nutiitiveness and
general adaptation as a table and
stock food.
Nothing is gained by very elrly
bedding or planting. The potato
is strictly tropical plant, and
must have. warm weather from first

The best potato growers, at the
final planting of the draws, give a

What was $4,000 to her?
Nothing. 1t cost her no more

And yet, this magnificent dame,
as she walked from the florists
door to her carriage, brushed elbows
with as pitable object as ever this
big city can show,
1t was a woman, not 70 years of
age. Her clothing was CID and
tattared and far from clean. Her
hair was disheveled. Her ewes
were bloodshot. She was the widow
OF once prominent New Yorker. a
man who made great fortune by an
invention that is now indispensable

when he was rapidly becoming n

A THEosOpHIsT.
His STRANGE IDEAS AS TO THE sEPARA-
TON OF SOUL FROM BODY.

In conversation the other day
gentleman well known in theosophi-
cal circles, informed the writer with
a sincerity of conviction quite un-
mistakable that he had himself FREE
quently succeeded in projecting his
"astral body"-for so he called it
to places thousands Of miles distant.
Though comparatively speaking an
amateur in this mysterious art, he
had on one occasion recently, sent
his spookieal representative on board
Of ship 500 leagues from land to
visit q friend, concerning whose
safety on the ocean he was anxious.
But this was nothing. A practical
expert in the science, he declared,
could dispatch his spiritual entity
for such the astral body seems to
be, rather than a mere phantasm--
to the confines of the Infinite could
travel on the wings of thought from
planet to planet, and view with in
corporeal eye the awful mechanism
of the universe.
''But why should not even you
employ the power you possess for
some useful purposeW l asked.
"Why not project your astral body,
as you term it, into the bowels of
the earth and discover few mines
of gold and diamonds? Compared
with the riches you might so readily
grasp, the wealth of Three-Card
Monte Cristo is as nothing"
A gentle smile overspread the
countenance of my theosophic &C
quaintance. My dear sir" he re-
piled, "you little understand the
conditions under which the faculty
we speak of is acquired. Only
through the cultivation of q purity
of mind, untouched by selfish or
material ambitions, may the would
be diciple of the divine Mahatmas
hope to grasp at length the ineffable
secret. Should apply the limited
power enjoy to such base uses, it
would leave me. Nay, more. 1
should myself be exposed to the
utmost danger. 1 have reason to
believe that fatal accidents not in

You'd. My own astral body, let us
say, is absent in South Africa. While
on its travels it is tempted, and-not
being as yet entirely cleansed from
the soil of earthly passion-it sue

re-enter my corporal frame, but
cannot, by reason of its unworthi-
ness, and in consequence of this
misfortune l perish physically"
"But what becomes of your
spiritual entity?" 1 inquired, much
interested.

sponded, and there the matter drop

respect to her own situation and
state of health. Although she had
long suffered from asthma and a
bronchial affection, Barbara was
wise enough TO see that these all
ments arose from the disordered
stomach and digestion, and that if
the main trouble could be cured the
others would soon leave her. 1t is
probable that her disease began as
others do, with the usual symptoms:
headaches, bad breath, the rising Of
the sour fluids in throat, oppression
and falntness at the pit of the stom-
ach, loss of sleep, coated tongue,
dull eyes, bad taste in the mouth,
&C., and finally became chronic and
hopeless through her not being able
to find any remedy. The Inspector
states that she had been under med
ical treatment for years, but to no
effect. In this strait she one day
made the following touching appeal
TO the Inspector: 81 have been

you: give me bottle of Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup; it is my
only hope. If it proves a failure
and does me no good l will die in
peace, and make no more expense
to the parish"
II seems she had got hold of one
of Mother SeigePs Almanacks and
read of the great cures wrought by
the Syrup in cases like hers.
The Board pitied the poor lone
woman and granted her petition, be-
lieving, however, the syrup would
prove as useless as the other medi-
cines she had already taken. What
was their establishment to find, in the
course of few days, that she had
not only been able to get out of bed,
| but to move about outside the house.
and had taken journeys to consid-
cradle distance, and was actually en-
| joying better health than since she
was first taken ill. The asthma and
bronchitis, which were no more than
symptoms of her true disease (indi-
gestion and dyspepsia), rapidly
abated, and it now seems that Bar
bara will soon be as hale and hearty
as the Inspector himself, and be one
of the hosts of living witnesses tc

A PAUPER'S DYING REQUEST.

An amusing and yet pathetic in
cident in what the poet Gray called
I" the short and simple annals of
the poor" is told by Mr.. John j. r.
Micklejohn, one of the Inspectors
of the Poor, at Sherwick, Shetland
Islands. He says that some time
ago an old woman, named Barbara
Smith, came under the notice of the
Board. She was extremely i'll, and
it did not look likely that she would
long need care of any kind. She
did not reside on the main land, but
on small island few miles distant
and there being no parochial institu-
tions in that place, Barbara neces-
sarily occupied the position of
pauper living out. The trouble
from which she suffered dated back
many years. In better and more
prosperous days she had in some
way laid the foundation for Chronic
Indigestion and Dyspepsia, and out
of this had sprung other complaints
as age and bodily infirmities crept
apace upon her.
Barbara was not ignorant, albeit
she had fallen into poverty. In ear
lier life she somehow obtained the
advantage of fair education, and
this, added to native shrewdness.
