A PREACHER UNDER CHARGEs.-Atlanta,
Ga, Nov. 2S-A sensation is promised in
an investigation into the record OF w. IL.
Dale, pastor of the Seventh Baptist Church
OF this city. Official steps have not yet
been taken, but several Of Dale's brother
preachers are quietly looking into the case.
A well known printer named John George
and q bookkeeper named John nj. Shelly,
both respectable men, positively identity
Dale as J. o. Ii. Nuttal, printer and ST.
versmi,h, who formerly lied ut Charlotte,
AMI who was charged by the papers with
having deserted his family to elopo with n
young girl named Katie Rollins or Rswiins.
Dale vigorously denies the charge and +.
J. Fezsr, prominent merchant who knew
NuItal, says he does not think Dale IS Tn
s,me man. Dale rays he lived in Dallas,
Ga. The Constitution prints story from
there which tells of an old indictment against
HIM FIR C, iminal intimacy with n married
woman, but it was afterwards not pressed al d
Dale jo;ne the church. 1t is probable that
n formal investigation will be had sUpp.

has Il good subsoi. i lrokc up the land,
sowed the oats, and narrowed them i'll i'll Oc-

fine crop of oats. I cut the oats, and the

them in last fail; and this year | planted
the lot in cotton using 5 sacks Of ferti-
lzcr on the five acres.
The fertilizer cost me Sl3, and | have
already gathered this fall four, bales of CO.
ton, averaging over 500 lbs to the bale, and
there is 500 or 1000 pounds seed cotton yet

which the land was reclaimed with oats and
peas. If rgain SOW the lot in oats and

THE ALLIANCE

Not long Sincca great preacher, cnumcrat-
ing the wonderful events that have recently
taken place. said that the organization of the
Farmers Alliance was by no means of small
moment. and that its influence and power
was destined To be felt throughout the
world. And Of truth is his prediction COM
ing to pass.
The capitalist. usurcr and opprcssor, who
dcrilcd the Alliance in it's infancy, now
trcmhlcs at its rapid growth and tremendous
power and today IN every nook and corner
where the Alliance has existed Il year Il
marked difference is seen and felt. The
industrious husbandman seems to have taken
II new lease of life. His home is in better
condition. and his family more comfortable:
and with n drawer heart and brighter hopes,
he looks to the future. and we find him cX-
hibiting Il greater determination to keep out
of debt. And believe if VIC act the part of
true men to ourselves, our families and our
country, ere halfccntury shall have passed,
our Southern land, with all its superior all
vantagcS and resources will have become the
most prosperous and happy on earth.

The cotton crop is about gathered aud has
fallen far short OF last year. There is very
little to gather or sell around kcltOn.

wheat being sowcd in this vicinity. and many
farmers are selling their cotton seed, thereby
robbing their land if they do not get the
