Senator Morgan of Alabama, a MEN,
ber of the committee on foreign relations,
was asked by an Associated Press repOr-
ter the purport of the resolution offered
by him yesterday. 1t "instructs the
committee Oh foreign relations to In
quire and report as to the best method Of
increasing trade and commerce between
the people of the new state Of Congo and
the people of the United States, and as to
what impediments, if any. exist In our
diplomatic relations with the free state
OF Congo and other powers standing in
the way of such trade, commerce and in
tercOurse."
The senator said: when the c0nven-
tion of twenty-One powers met at Berlin
to fix the statues of the Congo state the
United States did not accept the coll
illusions of the convention, and, therefore
has no political rights in that country.
DO not know that this has ever been
brought to the attention Of Mr.. Blaine,
but | am ANXIOUS that it should be, and
that the United States should secure its
just political power in Congo. My rea-
sons for desiring this is that it may be
able to encourage negroes Of this cOun.

Inherited Blood Poison.

How many people there are whose dis
tress from sores, aches, pains and erup-
tive tendencies are due to inherited blood
poison. Bad blood passes from parent
to child, and it therefore is the duty OF
husband and wife to keep their blood
pure. This is easily accomplished by a
timely use of b. B. Botanic Blood
Balm). Send to Blood Balm Co., Atlanta,
for book of most convincing proof
James Hill, Atlanta, Ga, writes: MY
two sons were afflicted with blood poison
which doctors said was hereditary.
They both broke out in sores and erup.
tions which B. B. B. promptly controlled
and finally cured completely"

Graham & Sparks Grand Opening.

Our friend Sparks hailed us last Wednes-
day as we were passing his storo and asked
il we didn't want to see something really
grand in the Millinery and Dry Goods line?
OF course We did, and we "lit' from the
buggy rs quickly rs our old "underpin-
ming would allow us.
He took US all through the establishment,
from the front door to the splendid Milli-
merry Department in the rear.
1t was certainly grand display Of an Gle
CANT stock of goods arranged with superb
taste.
In the Millinery department. the best of
Lady judges tell us, it is unquestionably the
richest, most tasty and artistic stock ever
seen here, and Miss DiRendcrffer, the Lady
ia..s, n- -Sct-I.a,.. til,rAei u

complishment Of being able to trim any mum:
ber Of hats or bonncts in the most fashion
able style, with Il distinct taste displayed in
each, thereby relieving her customers of that
samcncss Of appearance and taste which SO
frequently causes Ladies to send &c ether
places for their Millinery, in order to avoid
the monotony Of local taste, and to givo
variety to that most attractive part of n
Lady's apparel. Ladies, VIC advise You to
call and consult her, before buying.

emigrant train will reach its destination
next Monday evening. A larger number
Of ernigrants would have gone at this time
but there was not room to accommodate .

however, return in ten days to take out

UNITY.

My Brother, did you ever conceive how
much was contained in the word unity?
bringing together Of nil forces that can DO
united?
Where an individual unites his physical,
mental and spiritual being for the acquire
ment Of some object, the work is half ac-
complished. The reason you and have not
been more successful as farmers, is because
of our half-heartedness. Not, perhaps, that
We have not given our time to our farms, but
because We have not taken an earnest anu
intelligent view of our situations and EN-.
braced the ten thousand opportunities offered
us to better our condition.
If physical strength was Of paramount
| importance-the only thing needful-the
| dumb brute that draws your plow would
deserve more credit than yourself. But
| is prospective intelligence united with mus
| Gle that will make q successful and prosper
| GUS farmer. Where man ,cillingty makes
Drawn subservieut to brain, he is bound to
succeed.
And also, what vast difference there is
| in brethren united and brethren divided-as
much as there is between MONDAY and mid
night-as much rs between success and
failure.
When class Of true men who know they
are not getting the:. rights as fIeemen, in'
aside self, join heart and hand for the ele
/ -..:.. :-:-~ nf their ayocation
their success is more than half accomplished
but when men of the same craft enter into
combination for their general good in half
hearted way, letting individual Interest,"
swsrve them from the path of duty, we nee,
not be surprised to hear Of failures.
Brethren, solemnly declare unto you
that our only hope as an agricultural people
is to stand together as a unit, against tn,
power that wealth gives to capitalistic com
binations.

LET 40 GUILTY MAN EsCArE.-The South
ern newspapers are unanimous in denounc-
ing the outrage recently committed by n
gang of white men on number of colored
people near Atlanta, and the Georgia papers
are most earnest in condcmning the lynch
crs and whippers, and in demanding that
they shall be arrested without fail, and
punished without mercy.
There is no dissenting opinion on this
subject, and there can be none. The un
offending colored people we're barbarously
treated. Their assailsnts should be made
TO feel the lash of the law, heavily applied.
The people Of the South have as much
trouble as they can contend with on account
Of false reports of their disposition and con-
duct toward the colored people. The best
answer to these reports is for the local
authorities TO purnish certainly swiftly
and severely every white man that was con-
cerned in the shameful affair at East Point.
Georgia, Inst week, and that at Goldsboro,
Louisiana, the week before; the facts of
which are as notorious as the crimes them
selves are inexcusable.-NcwSG and Courier.

In tho Future.


We intend making considerable change in
the conduction Of the TIMES very soon, and
for that purpose have ordered some new
type and other materials, intending to en-
large the paper by the addition Of one col
umn to each page. We have also been
promised valuable assistance in the editorial
and correspondence departments. While
these changes will greatly improve the ap-
pearance and intrinsic value Of the TisEs,
they will, necessarily, involve a considerable
outlay Of money to commence with, and
considerable increase Of weekly expenses
afterwards.
To meet these extra demands we have not
a dollar at this time, but confidently look to
the hundred, Of friends who are honestly due
us from 81 to 500 for subscription and ad-
vertising, to come forward and help us.
We never experienced greater scarcity
of money than we have the Summer and
Fall of this year. For weeks and weeks we
have not received dollar from any source,
while our expenses for everything necessary
for the home and office had to be met weekly
with cash that cost us from 10 to 20 per cent.
to obtain. Some may doubt this, but we can
assure them it is an honest truth.
The fact is, we have been altogether too
lenient. Had we conducted the business Of
the TINES upon strictly business principles,
we would now be in comfortable circum-
stancse and the TINES one Of the largest,
most valuable ana popular papers IN the
State; but the money that would have Sc
cured these desirable ends is "gone glim-
mering'' in bad debts, which stare us in the
face-ghosts of dead promises Of faithless
fricnds-as We turn the pages Of our sub
scription books and Ledgers of the past 20
years.
We confidently hope for better things this
Fall and Winter. The crops nre better than
for years past the people generally are in
better circumstances than they have been
since the war; and what gives q still more
hopeful outlook for the good of all classes,
of all businesses, the Alliance with its ,2OC
members in this county, demands Of each
member the honest and prompt payment Of
his debts, or his expulsion. If the back
bone Of the county is thus made strong
and sound, the whole business system Of the
county will be in healthy condition.
