TO Get Out OF Politics.

ATLANTA, Ga, January 19.--Tho
Alliance leaders seem disposed to
take that organization out of poll
tics as nearly as possible and keep it
confined to the purposes for which it
was originally started. Whether
this action is due to their defeat in
the Gordon campaign or not it is
impossible to say, but all their recent
acts tend to indicate hat that is the
case. To-day the Executive Com
mittee of the State Alliance ap-
pointed some district lecturers to aid
in spreading Alliance gospel, and
after arranging the preliminarics
passed strong resolutions setting
forth that they must confne them
selves to explanation Of the Alliance
platforms; of the need for the Order
and nothing else. Ti,;""'" taken by
those on the inside to indicate that
Gordon and his friends are on the
top in the Alliance as we'll as out Of
it and that politics must be tabooed'

mys%teriously on the morning of the

tree that Benjamin r.. Perry and By
mum fought a duel over half century
ago. 1t was in the days Of nullifca-
ton, in 1882, when politics were
stormy and party spirit ran high.
Perry was q Estaunch unionist and
Bynam was a fiery nulliier. Tho
latter grossly iinsulted Perry, aud in
obedience to the barbarous custom
that then prevailed, Perry had to
challenge him or suffer disgrace at
the bar of public opinion. At the
day appointed they met on the is-
each with his pistol and coffin.

hole through Perry's coat breast, ex-
posing the red lining. Colonel HUI
GER who was present and near By
nun, exclaimed, Hes got it, and
replied, II have too By
ball hit exactly where he had
told hia friends !: would, but Perry's
coat war o very loose fit, and the
bullet grazed the skin, leaving a blue
across, his body. Perry's ball
went throughrB ynum's thigh, cutting
the main artery, and the poor fellow
bled to death. He was carried to q
house on the place now owned by
Mr.. Price, and the blood stains from
wounds were visible on the CELL
ing when the house was torn down
last year. His remains were inferred
at the old stone church, three miles

Furman University.

The Executive Committee of the
Board of Trustees of Furman Uni
versity held q meeting recently and
appointed a committee OF three in
every Baptist Association in this
State to raioe tic endowment fund
of Furman University $4,000 more
during the year 1891. AT the meet
ing Of the St&te Baptist Convention
at Union a proposition was made to
the convention chat $4,000 would be
given to the endowment fund of
Furman by the American Ednna+
tionaI Society from the Rockefeller
fund il the Baptists of the State
would subscribe $4,000. The pro-
position was accepted and $4,000 was
pledged at the convention, most of it
being in individual subscriptions.
The Executive Committee is arrang-
ing to carry out the wishes Of the
convention. 1t will. be remembered
that the Baptists Of the State this
year raised $4,000 for the endow-
ment fund, and this amount was sup
plemented by o gift Of $1,000 from
the Rockefeller fund. If the $1O,OOC
is secured, and it undoubtedly will
be, the $4,000 from the Educationa
Society will make $4,000 that hal

CHARLESTON, $. c., January o.
Quite a sensation was created in St.
Matthews, Orangeburg county, over
the death of Nimple Brown, q pros-
porous colored farmer. 1t appears
that some time ago Brown had a row
with a "blue gum negro named Tom
Simmons and in the fight which fol-
lowed Brown was bitten on the finger
by Simmons. In a little while the
bitten finger began to swell. Then
it got worse iaad it was not long
before gangrene bad set in. On Sun
day Brown died. Coroner Dukes
was summoned and an inquest was
held to-day over the dead body.
The doctors. who conducted the post
norton examination say that Browns
death was caused by tho bite, and
that the bite of a "blue gum" negro
in nearly every case provea fatal. :
The negroes hsre are wild over
the death of Brown, and with the
accustomed superstition peculiar to
the race, imagine all manner OF
strange things. "A negro with &
"blue gum" is q terror, to them.
