THE FIGHT OF THE FARMERS.
What Is Said about the Work Of the Alli-

From the New York Times.
MONTGOMERY. ALA, July 2.-The
fight between the Farmers Alliance
and the Jute Bagging. Trust is rapidly
assuming warlike proportions in the
cotton-growing States. The Alliance
men have resolved to use no jute bag
ging for wrapping the present crop, but
to use cotton bagging instead. 1t is
argued on the one side that the farmers
cannot hold out in the fight, that the
cotton wrapped in cotton bagging will
not be received at the congresses and
by foreign buyers, and as the cotton
crop is shipped abroad the farmers will
be forced to give in in order to get their
cotton on the market in merchantable
shape; also that many farmers who
have given mortgages on their crops to
advancing merchants cannot hold their
cotton back, but will be forced to put
it on the market in merchantable shape
anu Sell 10 pay Guelf ueDtS.
On the other hand. the Alliance men
are determined to fight the trust to the
end. It is war to the knife. They have
resolved to beat the trust if they have
to hold the entire cotton crop from the
market until the combine is broken.
They propose to work in unison and
present a solid front against the trust.
1t is generally understood also that the
other farmer organizations of the coun-
try are ready to fight hand in hand
with the Alliance men. The Alliance
is $1,000 strong iu Alabama, and will
get heavy recruits from the Wheel and
Rangers. At the, meeting of the Ma
tional Alliance held in Birmingham
recently it was resolved to use cotton
bagging exclusively and give jute the
go-by, land the farmers seem determined
to carry it out on that line if it takes
all the summer and fall. ...':..- ...', -.
The Farmers Alliance of Alabama
has just purchased site for cotton
bagging factory at Florence, and pro-
poses to be making 50o yards of cotton
hagging per day by the first of Septem-
ber. The threatened war will be made
even more interesting by the fact that
the cotton crop promises to be the
heaviest yield in ten or fifteen years.

A Southern Exploring Expedition.

The Manufacturers Record of Balti-
more, which is ever working for the
advancement of the South, has under
taken one of the greatest enterprises
of the day. With a view to making
known to the world the vast wealth of
the unexplored mineral and timber
regions of the South, which railroads
have not yet opened up to public inves-
legations, that progressive journal has
organized fully equipped exploring
party under the management Of Major
Goldsmith Bernard West, of Birming-
ham, a noted expert in the exploration
of mineral regions. In making this an
nouncement in its last issue, the
Manufacturers Record says 1--WE have
arranged to place at once in the field an
expedition, scientific and practical,
whose duty it shall be to visit, investi-
gate and report upon all the mineral
districts Of the Southern States. This
expedition has been organized solely by
the Manufacturers Record and the re-
ports ofits work will appear only in this
journal. tits estimated that the mission
will last six or eight months. Major
West will be assisted by a scientific staff
ofhis own selection, and will remain
in the field for the next six months.
Outside Of the several districts with
which Major West has been Intimately
connected, he will carry with him a
regular force, and proceeding on horse
back, camp by the way. Generally, ne
will have the assistance Of al engineer
and geologist, timber expert, a
secretary and necessary servants. The
idea of the expedition is not to jump
from place to place by rail, but to go
through the country in leisurely way
study its climate, conditions, resources
and opportunities, and to give the pub
lie an unprejuniced and intelligent re-
port" This is undoubtedly one of the
most remarkable instances ofenterprise
which any paper in this country has,
ever undertaken, and is far ahead Of
anything Of the kind ever before pro-
jected by any weekly journal in Amer
ica. The Manufacturers Record has
done great work for the South in the
past, and to that it now adds this
brilliant scheme, to accomplish still
more for this section. They heavy
expense Of this exploring expedition
will be borne solely by that journal.

Fatal Result OF a Stupid Joke.
Especial to News and Courier.

Especial to. News and Courier.l
Augusta, July 26.-Judson Rountrec,
the fourteen-year-old son Of Col. NJ. A.
Rountree, Of Augusta, went over to
Buck Island about month ago to visit
his uncle, Mr.. Frank Dunbar. OF late
Mr. Dunbar's watermelon patch has
been frequently robbed by negroes.
Young Judson said he would like to get
shot at the thieves, and his young
companions resolved to play joke on
him. One night last week the boys.
loaded an old gun with blank car
tridges, and one of them went into. the
patch with Judson to watch for the
thieves. The boys toldaJudson that the
negroes were desperate and dangerous,
and if they were not killed instantly,
or disabled, they would rush upon and
revenge themselves on anybody shoot
ing at them. In the meantime several
of the other boys blaeked their faces
and went into the melon patch, in
sight and in range Of the young SEN
tinels. AS soon as Judson saw the boys
with black faces he fired at them, but
as the cartridges were blank, Of course
they took no effect. Judson saw the
supposed robbers quickly advancing
upon him, and remembering what the
boys had told him about the negroes
being 80 desperate and revengeful, and
seeing that his companion had run
away, he was badly frightened and run
to- the house. The terrible fright
brought on a delerious fever from
which me died on Friday night last.

Georgia turpentine distillers are sup.

themselves, a material that; after hay

added, and Southern consumers pay

According to- their spokesman at

7 Thisis undoubtedly: true In the days
when Dickens and Thackeray visited
the United States they were struck by
the novelty of er countering everywhere
NEGRO servants. In all hotels and res
taurants the walters were colored men,
and the few coachmen employed by
private families were of that race.
i Now the negro waiter is the: eNcep-
ton, and negro coachmen are no longer
common. The ceiored whitewasher
survives almost wholly in the imagina-
ton OF fnegro minstrelsy, and thecoiored
barber, is becoming rapidly an historic
functionary in New York. Their places
have been taken by Irishmen, English

while the Cinnamon have secured what
is substantial monopoly of the laun-

~bers actually and comparatively to the
negroes. ....i ~ i..'.t'.. ~, .., ''..
But the change cannot have been
brought about by capricious fashion,
as the colored preacher at Chickering
Hall supposes. 1t must mean that the
negro has been beaten in the competi-
TIteiaa with the white man; that he does
not dosso good work. Under slavery he
was protected from competition with
Others not his race, but under freedom
he must take his chances with the rest;
and the rest have beoome'very many in
this country since the days when he

employments spoken of. The colored
people must devote themselves with
redoubled efforts to their own improve
ment if they would keep up in the con-
test. ,.....s.- =: .....' .:... ';"

What Gen. Catchings Says Of the .CorniSt:
Congress-.

WAsHINGToN, July 5.-General
Thomas Ciendening Catchings, who
represents the Vickscurg: Miss, dis
trict in the House of Representatives,
has been in the city for few days en-
route tor cooler climate than can be
found nearer his own vine and tig tree.
In discussing the question of the pro-
posed extra session Of Congress, Gen.
Catchings said that the Republicans
were doubtless very anxious to organ
ize the House and get matters in work
ing order before winter fairly sets in,
''but notice will be served upon the
majority" continued the General, who
is member OF the next Congress, that
no high-handed usurpation OF authori-
ty will be- tolerated in regard to seating
contestants for Democratic seats in the
5lst Congress. Our people have protited
by the lesson taught them in the Eel
ton case, when the minority obstructed
business and declared their intention
TO pursue such tactics until the 4th OF
March if it was necessary. Let the Re
publicans 80 ahead and organize the
House of Representatives if they can,
but al the first appearance of fraud or
coercion we may he able, to illustrate
that what is sauce for the goose is
auce for the gander, and busi-
ness may not be expedited as some
anxious Republicans are hopeful for.
It will not do for the Democrats to sit
with their hands folded and patiently
submit to the unseating of men who
have been fairly elected merely to
crafty the caprice or instruction OF
some leader of the dominant party, and
there IS going to be music in the air
while the 5lst Congress is in session. I
have no doubt that the President will
call the extra session about the middle
Of October, and in this course he will
merely be following the wishes and

ALOST SECRET.
The Manager Of the aluminium company
Dies Withou. Revealing the secret OF
Manufacture.

From the Philadelphia Ledger
FISDAAY, OHIO, July l5.-The ma
nager of the American Aluminium
Company, Fred J. Seymour, died III
this city last Friday, and the secretof
making aluminium died with him. lie
was the inventor of processes by which
hisvaluable blemetal could be profitab'y
extracted'from common clay, and had
put his inventions into practical use.
About four years ago, rs the result OF
years of experiments, +. j. Seymour,
then a citizen of Detroit, secured pa
tents covering processes for the manu-
facture OF aluminium. He had little
difficulty in inducing capital to take
hold of the enterprise, and the Arnerl-
can Aluminium Company was organic
ed, with Gen. Russell a. Alger as
president and Senator Palmer, OF
Michigan, as vice president. The dis
covcrv. of natural gas III this city caused
the location Of the laboratories here.
Expensive retorts and valuable machi-
merry were constructed, and tn" manu-
facture was begun on Il. large scale ana
proved so successful that large quantl-
ties of the metal were placed upon the
market at a large profit. The process,
although patented i'll nearly all OF its
points, has been kept a religious secret,
and no one has ever been permitted to
penetrate. the mysteries surrounding it..
a tifteen-foot picket fence surrounds
the buildings, with its gates. doubly
padIocked. From remarks made by the
chemists and other employees at differ
ent times it is gathered that the day
after being ground in water and treated
with various chemicals, it is heated to
i 500 degrees in large retorts until it has
become thoroughly fused. When 1t has
reached the crowning temperature, the
precious metal is separated from the
mass by the addition ofa certain chemi-
cal in specific quantities, but the name
and nature of this chemical is not dis
closed in the letters patent, nor has any
one employed about the works ever
discovered it.
1t is this secret that has gone down
into the grave with +. J. Seymour. 1t
had been his invariable custom to await
the critical moment when the fluid
mass had reached the right stage, and
them all the employees were excluded
from the room, the doors were locked,
and, all alone, he went through the
mysterious process Of the laboratory:
adding chemical that no one knows
the name of, has never seen, and in
quantities that cannot even be guessed
at. His death came as the result of a
paralytic stroke, from which he never
recovered consciousness, 80 that on his
deathbed he had 10 opportunity ofre-
vealing the all-important secret. The
stockholders Of the company are I'M
determined what to do under the pecu-
liar circumstances in which they are
placed, but-will probably give some Of
their chemists full scope to endeavor to
recover the lost secret.
