Death.

Macon, Ga, Dec. ZG.-At Il coun-
try church in Coffee county, this
state, few days since, a man who
was disturbing public worship was
killed by the preacher il charge Of
the church.
Trouble hai existed il 1h2 church,
one faction favofing the retcntioa Of
the pastor and the other iavOrlng
his dismissal. The factional tlght
grew very bitter, and the trouble
reached a climax last Sunday Whrn
the pastors friends voted h!m III
for another year. One Of the mem
bers most bitterly opposed to the
pastor approached the pulpit where
the reverend gentLenlan was sitting
and engaged IL conversation with
him. They became very n.ucn e1-
cited, aud finally the member raised
his haud and dealt the preacher a
sharp blow on the cheek. Tho pas

but he stluc the preacher again and
again, accompanying the blows with
g profusion of vile epithcts ana also
splitting i'll the minister's face. The
minister drew his knife and stabbed
his assailant repeatedly
Women screamed and the nen
looked on aghast, while the unfortu-
nate man fell down in the pulpit
and died. The friends OF the miliis

ed that he has fed the country. It
is intimated that the dead man had

All the people thus represented have
now an opportunity to read OF the

How to Talk Well.

The first essential for writer, orator or
converser is sympathy-a kindly feeling
to every human being, to every dumb
brute and flower that grows. If you
have not that ready sympathy, cultivate
it. Then you will carry with you the
good will of every created being and can
appear at your best Being in sympathy
, with all the race, you will be able to
take an interest in whatever interests
them. This is the secret of impressing
them favoraSly. Then read newspapers,
whether you are man, woman or child.
so shall you know what is going on in
the world so shall you have something
to say.
If you are a woman, never talk of
dress. servants or physical ailments.
Whether you are man or woman, never
talk about yourself unless you are asked
to do SO very particularly. The large
end of a horn represents usually the in
terest we take in ourselves. The small
end, drawn out to point, represents the
interest other people take in us.

unjustly, but the benefit, prosperity,
and happiness of our country will al
ways be our aim, and the object of
our work. And the work carried on
for human liberty, and human hap
plness, will call out to every true
citizen for cooperation, and God
will guide and over rule people who
in humble submission invoke his di-
vine and infinite protection and care.
We resolve to take for our guide
precepts OF that holy religion, name.
ly these, the precepts of Justice, Chris
tian Charity and Peace, which far
from being applicable only to private
concerns, must have an immediate in
fuence on all our work both public
and private. We approve OF alliance
work carried on in modest way,
which religion can approve, which
every true citizen can approve. Any
measure to promote happiness and
enjoyment of the blessing of a free
government vindicated by our faith

receive our sanction and co-opera-

What Stanley Discovered.

''Just about three years ago, while lee
turing in New England, message came
from under the sea bidding me hasten
and take a commission to relieve Emin
Pasha at Wadelai," writes Stanley.
He relieved Emin Pasha, as all the
world knows. Besides that he made
important geographical discoveries that
may be summed up as follows: He
traced out the Aruwimi river from its
source to its mouth. He ascertained
that the great Congo forest is as large as
France, Spain and Portugal combined.
Ruwenzori, the Cloud King mountain,
whose top isbovered always with snow,
was partially explored, and the locality
of what used to be hazily set down in
the school maps as the Mountains of the
Moon has been definitely fixed.
Stanley discovered on this trip that
the Albert Edward Nyanza, called by
the natives Muta Nzige, is the true
source of the southwest branch of the
White Nile. He discovered southwest
extension, hitherto unsuspected, to the
Victoria Nyanza, which adds nearly
5000 square miles to that great lake.
Finally, he and his men feasted on
blackberries and bilberries and quenched
their thirst with water from snow beds

oNE-HALF WAS TOO STRONG.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
In your issue of Dec. 9Th, your cor
respondent states that the millers
OF CroOkston take one-half the wheat
for grinding. This is putting the
case rather too strong, but as mat
ter of fact the millers have in the
northwest, after dockage, taken from
one-quarter to one-6fth for milling
instead of one-eighth, as the law
allows. Can you prescribe a rem
edy? To the extent of one dollar for
the paper l am going to pay for let
ting little light into some OF our
dark places. Yours truly,
E. E. ABBOTT.
Mentor, Polk Co., MINI.
The remedy is to prosecute and
bring suit for cumulative damages
in the name of all the farmers who
will move in the matter. An alliance
should take hold OF these millers.

full monopolies, greedy trusts and
INSCRIPTIONS corporations, have got
control of the market, and the
means of transportation, and we
call upon our representatives in Con-
gress to make more stringent laws to
hold in check these giants which are

RESOLVED, That the Farmers ALI
ance is in favor of the just remunera-
tion OF railroads for all capital actu-
ally invested Or all labor performed
in running the roads and in keeping
them in repair. But it protests
against paying rates on watered
stock and assumed capital and it de-
mands that a sworn statement be
made to our Legislature of actual
capital receipts and expenditures OF
each road in the state.
RESOLVED, That the management
OF the telegraphs, the elevators and
the express business, should be in the
hands of the R. R. and warehouse
commissioners, who should be elected
by the people.
RESOLVED, That this alliance in
dorses the management and business

also heartily indorses the earnest
and able efforts of our Deputy State
Lecturer, Prof. j. Allison.

LAKE GEORGE, Dec. 7th, 1873!

LAKE GEORGE, Dec. 7th, 1899.
EDITOR GREAT WEST:
DEAR S1R:-The Lake George
Farmers Alliance held their unnual
meeting Dec. 7th, 1889, and we had
a lively and interesting meeting, sew
eral short but good speeches were de-
livered, and other business was
transacted. The following persons
were elected officers, John A. Ander-
son President; Steiner Thompson
Vice Pres; G.. K. Quill, Sec. C. C.
Holden Treasurer.
Thefollowing sentiments were adop-
ted and ordered sent for publication
in the GREAT VEST:
What is the cause OF the frequent
complaint principally from the tillers
OF the soil from all parts of the
land?
Oppression, oppression in it's varied
forms. Do these complaints con-
tain the truth or are they foreign to
it? We acknowledge they contain
the truth. Is there nothing in these
complaints, as they receive so small
attention, or why is it that tillers OF
the soil are forced, by oppression to
unite, and by uniting endeavor to
gather strength to redress injustice
and oppression surrounding them on
every hand. We acknowledge it to
be we'll established fact that the
farming communities are subjected to
expressions, and that they cannot
under the present situation OF their
conditions receive the benefits and
enjoy the blessings of a free govern
ment. Nature has given us a soil
which yields bounteously to the
hands of industry on her part, moth
ing wanting She even surpasses our
expectations with her generous and
lavish blessings, but, what does it
all amount to, when oppression is
tolerated and openly encroached up
on our Just rights, thus hindering us
from the enj njoyment, and fully to par
ticipate in the blessings she bestows
which should be coming to all. We
acknowledge that, in the origi-
nal form of govern nent, such
as transmitted by our Fathers, it
can become accomplished and real
lied to indulge to the full extent and
excellence, the benefit and blessing OF
a free government.
We therefore resolve to cherish the
virtues and sacred principles of our
Fathers, and let them be OUR guide,
and lead and inspire us in the exer-
else of our duties as American citi-
zens, SO that we also can preserve,
and transmit unimpaired to our
children, what is placed in our
hands to preserve and transmit. Let
the sacred principles which led and
inspired our Fathers also lead and
guide us and be the foundation upon
which we build our alliance work,
and we shall never act or demand

The anti-slavery conference which
met recently in Brussels passed resolu-
tions favoring the establishment of mill
tary stations in Africa. by the states
that have settlements in that country.
These garrisons are for the suppression
ct the slave trade. The next step will
be the strengthening of the garrisons to
protect white merchants. After that it
will not take long to complete the civil

Motor Power of the Future,


Charles Morris contributes to Lippin-
colts some interesting speculations on
what we shall do for a motor power when
the coal fields give out, and there will be
no more fuel to make steam.
There will be no serious trouble, in tAe
Judgment of Mr.. Morris. AS long as the
sun shines there will be power, since all
there is at present came originally from
the sun. 1t is the source of all energy.
For twenty-five years before his death
John Ericsson was engaged in perfect
ing sun motoh:, one that by the mere
action of the suns rays upon it would
lift weights and turn wheels. He ex-
acted solemn promise from his chief
engineer thxt he would not cease work
on this solar engine. Ericsson used
large rejecting mirrors to collect and
intensity the sun rays.
Thentbere is the mighty power of the
tides. If engineers knew how to utilize
this resistless force, there would be de-
veloped power enough to drive all the
machinery far larger world than ours
would need. A motor that is operated
by the sea waves will undoubtedly be
invented sooner Or later. Power has
already been transmitted considerable
distances by electricity, and the force of
the tides could be used, by means of in
ventions yet to be made, to drive ma
chinery that was miles inland from the
seashore. There never has been any
limit to the inventive capacity of man.
once it was wakened, and there is no
reason to think it will reach limit.
Coming inventions will be in the di-
rection of storing some of the measure
less power that runs to waste daily on
the globe. Among instances of this is the
wasted force of waterfalls and of river
currents. How much machinery, for in
stance, could Niagara drive, if so much
as a billionth part of its water power
could be harnessed? That it will be is as
certain as that the sun shines. Electric
ity can transmit this power anywhere
Power in ordinary quantity can. be OBJ
tanned through the development of elec-
tricity by chemical action. This is the
SO called storage battery which already
runs lines of street cars in several cities.
AS long as the sun shines the inventive
genius of man will be equal to his needs.

EDITOR GREAT WEST:
Copies Of your invaluable journal
duly received. Believing in the prin-
ciples which you advocate, and that
the best and only reliable method is
through organization, your humble
servant has circulated through this
town copies of your paper On
the 29th ult a number of farmers as
sembled in district School, No. 81, in

with j. Sullivan, chairman; and
John Toffe, Secretary.
On motion, the Secretary was in
structed to correspond with Sec.
State Farmers Alliance in relation
to charter. And this is the second
time an alliance was organized.
On the 2nd day of Feb, A. D.

Downs, P. Regain, E. j. Bany, N. Mil
Ter, NJ. Iarkin, L. Kennedy and VIM.

1886, a county alliance, known as
Big Stone Co. Alliance, No. II, was
organized by Messrs. Cunningham,
of Graceyi]le; McEwen, OF Oston-
vile; Sholburg, of Prior; Finng, OF
Almond; French, of Malta, and
Nash, of Tokua. To give you the
causes of it's short life would take I'D
too much space: but politicians
and wire pullers had much to do
with it, whose only ambition was
Office. Wishing you success in your
enterprise and that an alliance will
be formed not only in every county

school district, l am sincerely yours,

1 have reached this point from

ments by the State Lecturer were
interrupted by two stormy days,
and also by serious hoarseness and
loss of voice, caused by riding in an

Ed. GREAT WEST:

old honest farmer giving credit to
your paper for exposing the R. R.

by every farmer. He says: "The
water-stock must be beemptied into the

OF the wheat crops of the farmers"
Then John goes for the Dairy Con-
vention, but as Gen'l Baker got
there in good order we leave that out.
"Please inform the public what
profit the millers make off from a

profit the whole amount makes made

THE way, and the only way, to
raise the price of farm products un-

ate a trust, and defy the world. We
gave an extensive analysis OF this
matter two years ago, in the Central
