EFFINGHAM POLITICS.
The Alliances Opposition to Sunday
Excl1rSinns Criticiaod

The Alliances Opposition to Sunday
Excursions Criticised.
An Efingham farmer was discussing the
alliance yesterday in this city, and he said
that at the last general meeting of the
Farmers Alliance of Efingham county,
their deliberations seem to have taken q
wide range, to judge from the character of
their recommendations. Among the latter
they recommend that Col H. NJ. Rawls.
the representative from bingham, should
use his lnfusnce 10 break up Sunday rail
road excursions, and give his active sup
port to the Olive bill, now pending before
the legislature. This action of the alliance
Is interpreted to indicate that questions
other than agricultural occupy the brains
of the members of the alliance. 1t has gen
orally been thought that matters pertain
ing to the Improvement of agriculture were
the prime cause Of the organization, but
such seems not to be the case.
The gentleman said it is a matter of sur
prise to many that the alliance should
allow themselves to be drawn into a fight
on the railroads. As to their Sunday ex-
cursions, the railroads MAKE nominal
rate for travel, aud the people are the ben
eticlaries of this accommodation, aud il
they should take advantage Of it to visit
distant kindred and friends on Sunday the
disciples Of truth and morality work all the
week their poorly fed stock many of their
nelghbors take advantage of the cheap
rates to visit Savannah and other points
and allow their stock that rest so much
needed from the work of the week
Their recommendations that Col Rawls
support the Olive bill, said the Effiugham
granger, reminds the average citizen that
the alliance men know but little OF the pro-
Vl9lOnQ of tha hill which f1 Eril
at the very foundation of the railroad sys-
tenn of Georgia. Col Rawls is a man well
Yersed in agricultural matters-a gentle
man OF large and conservative views, and
while he will endeavOr to do what he can
to advance agricultural interests, it is I'M
derstood that ne cannot aud will not sup
port the Olive bill. In this he shows
himself to be in advance of the
sentiment of the alliance. The agri-
cultural interest of the county is
closely interviewer with the railroads, and
the success of che one depends largely upon
the prosperity of the other. The success
and welfare of the farming interest of
Georgia depends largely upon the liberality
OF the railroads, and it behooves them to
cultivate the closest affinity.
The we'll regulated system of the Central
railroad, which traverSes the territory of
Ehingham, is guarantee that her people
and lands will not depreciate in value. Ga
the contrary, it has doubled around Guyton
during the p!st three years. Many of the
farmers along the line of the Central feel
1t great pleasure to have friends visit them
from above, and they in turn repay the
visit. No one enjoys the Sunday excursions
more than the farmers of bingham, who
do not lndorse the attitude OF the alliance
and the politicians who seek popular favor
by warfare on the railroads

Beaulieu, Mr.. A. N. West OF A. NJ. & C.
W. West was thrown from his buggy and
had finger broken, and received severe
but not serious bruises. His daughter, Miss
Edith West, was thrown from the vehicle
and was painfully bruised.
Mr.. West was driving over TO the Mont
gomery station to take the early train for
Savannah when the horse took fright at some
barrels and started off on a wild run. Mr.
West was first dumped out, but held on to
the rens as long as he could TO save his
children. three of whom were in the buggy,
and the injuries lie received were from BE-
ing dragged some distance along the road.
Maj. A. L. Hartridge, who was taking
his morning horse back ride, saw the run
away, and tried 10 stop the animal, but
could not do it, and when all the occupants
Of the vehicle had been thrown out or
jumped out he hurried to their relief. He
picked up Miss West and carried her to the
shade of a neighboring tree and
galloped off for DR.. Falligant,
who soon came over and rendered surgical
aid. Miss Ediths bruises were about the
back, but beyond the nervous shock her
injuries are not considered serious, but Mr.
West was so painfully bruised that he
abandoned his trip to the city.
A. M. West, Jr., who was the last to Jump
from the buggy, escaped uninjured, but
owing to the accident remained at home
yesterday to be with his father and sister,
fearing that their injuries might be worse
than was at first supposed

General Greedy has communicated
to congress his opinion that the lieu
tenants of the signal corps are gross
ly inefficient. Last spring he stated
that the errors of the weather bu-
reau were due to the ignorance of
the civilians employed, and he added
that if it were taken from military SUI
pervision he would abandon" it to
it's fate. The l~leutenants and the
civilians are afraid to say what they
think of General Greedy, but if they
dared to speak it would be TO say
that Greedy cannot be compared to
his predecessor Hazen, and pales in
comparison with the brilliant Myer.
They would add that his astonishing
promotion from a captain, who had
just returned in 1887, from a disas-
trous Arctic expedition in which he
had made a thousand errors, TO a
brigadier-general in charge of the
signal office, was a sentimental re-
ward u~ndeserved. In this conclusion
they would have the endorsement of
the civilians. All parties are right.
/ know that the civilians are theoret-
ic and imbeciles, and L know that the
~lieutenants, though all but one are
appointed from the ranks, received
their promotions either as pay for at
tempts to influence legislation, as a
bribe for silence or as compensation
for fawning upon their superiors.
