THE / o
MISTAKE,
fDaily SMtea.1

tDaily States.1
The Farmers Alliance is. as every
body knows, m organization pri-
marily national in its scope, with
subdivisions In every State Of the
United States. That organization
Was the outgrowth Of the deplora-
BILE circumstances under which the
Protective Tariff, whose very foun-
dation is the taxing Of the raw ma
terials, was, and il, fast crushing
the agricultural interest Of the
country.
The farmers, staggering under
the burdens which the tax on near
~ every raw material lays directly
upon their shoulders, have become
clamorous for relief. They have
united to demand free iron ore,
free salt, free lumber, free hides,
indeed, the RELOCATION to the free
list of the innumerable raw mate
rails the taxing Of every one Of
which is part and parcel Of the IN
bearable load which rests upon
their own unprotected farm pro-
ducts.
This is the one great object Of
that very intelligent and long suffer
ing organization 50 widespread
now, and so much dreaded by the
interested friends to Protection in
and out Of the United States Con-
gress.
We have many branches of that
great Farmers Union in Louisiana.
1t Is to be deplored that q number
Of them, loosing sight Of the one
grand object Of the National organ
izAtion Of which they are integral
parts, have already strayed away
from the straight path and are
dangerously treading in the devious
by-ways of State politics.
In one or two parishes Of North
Louisiana and in East Feliciana the
local Farmers Unions have trans
formed themselves into political
clubs to devise ways and means to
fight the Louisiana State Lottery.
This is = question absolutely foreign
to the platform of the Farmers Al
lance; it is . very dangerous OBJ
trusion into matters which do not
and cannot concern that organixa-
ton As such. In proof Of which We
call attention to the publication
elsewhere made by request Of
Farmers Union No. 5S7, Of Calea-
sieu parish, Of the proceedings had
by them ct . meeting in Lake
Charles day before yesterday.
The Farmers Union Of Calcasieu
and the Farmers Union Of East
Feliciana are IS far apart on the
Lottery question IS two poles. In
Csc q Gu, the farmers indOrse the
Lottery and urge the Senator and
Representatives Of that section to
vote to submit Mr.. j. A. Norris
lottery proposition to the vote OF
the people. In East Feliciana the
farmers furiously denounce the Lot
terry and demand of the Senator
and Representatives Of IT,: &c
ton that they summarily and with
out argument refuse to even listen
to the proposition to refer the whole
question directly to the people.
We venture to warn the Louis
lana Farmers' Unions that just 50
soon as they begin to take passion
ate and active part in political ques-
tons utterly foreign tO the Protect
ion Tariff issues which served to
unite them, just 20 soon viii they
fall to pieces TO remain the prey Of
the enemy they STARTED 20 hopefully
and uuitedly to fight.

Buried In n Well.

ATHENS, Ca. Aug. 26.-Mr. ID. A.
Mathews, a gentleman living near San
dy Cross, Il little place about twenty
miles from here, was in the city to-day,
and tells of horrible accident which
happened To Mr.. Bob Sharp, q white
man, and II negro by the name of
EchOls, both of that place. Sharp, it
seems, was engineer for the manufac.
turing company. and when the mill
was started up Saturday it was found
that the pumps would not work. Sharp
and his fireman, Echoles, decided to go
down in the well and repair it. They
sent to Athens for the necessary ma
terial, and Monday morning went
down. While they were at work and
without any warning signs whatever,
the well commenced caving in and the
two men were soon hidden from sight
by clods of dirt. The condition of the
two men was soon observed by parties
near the well and news of the accident
spread rapidly over the county. Neigh
bors flocked to the scene to assist in re-
moving the dirt and reScuing the men.
Late yesterday afternoon they had not
been eXtricated and it is feared both
are dead. Mr.. Sharp has u family de-
pending on him for support. He was
highly respected by his neighbors and
employers. The negro also has Il fami-
ly.-AuguSta Chronicle.

Mr.. Ovrcrton was about sixty years ofagc
and had been looked upon rs man OF
the highest christian character. Some
two weeks since he was conducting 4
protractcd meeting at Sloan, near
Greensboro. When the meeting had
been i'll progress a few days it was
whispered that Mr.. Overton had taken
improper liberties with n young lady
prominent IN the community. The older
members Of the congregation requested
Mr.. Ovcrton to discontinue the meeting
which he did. The affair was talked OF
from house to honsc and for several days
he appeared alternately lively and
dcspondcnt until this morning, when the
end came.

Surprising Testimony.

Many physicians who have examined
into the merits of B. B. B. (Botanic
Blood Balm), have been confronted
with testimony which they deemed sur
prising, and thus being convinced of
its wonderful efficacy. have not failed
to prescribe it in their practice Us oc-
casion required.
II. l.. Cassidy, Kennesaw, Ga, writes;
"For two years my wife was great
sufferer. Skillful physicians did her
no good. Her mouth was one solid
ulcer, her body was broken out in sores,
and she lost a beautiful head of hair
Three bottles of B. b. b. cured her COM
pletely, incredible as it may sound, and
she is now the mother of healthy
three months old baby clear from any

THERE MUST BE NO SPLIT.

Weld To the Majority.


COLUMBIA, Aug. 26.-The hot heads
and extremists of the party who are
ripe for split will find no crumbs of
political comfort in the words of Sena-
tor NJ. G. Butler given to the World
representative to-day. In Il few clear
cut sentences, which the reporter has
made no attempt to string out" or
elaborate, he speaks forth the words
Of truth and soberncss."
Senator Butler arrived in the city
this morning. lie had heard that the
two executive committees would meet
here to-day. and he came to assist in a
settlement. The World man found
Senator Butler preparing to enjoy IN
after-dinner SieSta in his room at the
Jerome. When told that the World
desired his opinion on the political
complications that now vrx the State,
the AdoniS Of the Scnate readily com
piled. He spoke free and without
reservation. His very first words, Civ
ing the IiSt of his opinion. were en-
phatic and of no uncertain tone. Said
he:

rcntion. the minority should acquicscc

porter. that under certain circiim-

opinion among them. They believe
that Il bolt or split would bc fatal and

Senator Butler said that he had been
asked for his views by the anti-Tillman
advisory committee, and that he had
given it as his opinion that the ticket
nominated by the September Conven.
tiCn should be supported by the entire
Democratic party of the State.
lie further stated that he had con.
versed with Gen. johnson ,Hagood. OF

that conservatism would prevail.
