agricultural school for negroes Same
old tune-the farmers do the work and
the city swallows the profits. Why has
he never made an effort to have the sur
plus arising from guano and oil inspec-
lions applied to establishing and agricul-
tural college? Why does he not protest
against the Rock college fraud and the
expenditures for the expenses of Prof.
White jaunting over the State trying to
establish useless farmers Institutes, for
the people are not prepared for them?
Nesbit has not improved the admins
tration of the department in single
item, and his whole idea has been to re-
duce salaries without any idea how to
apply the funds arising from the reduc-
ton to the benefit of the agricultural
people.
We have chronological school for the
sons of mechanics we have an indus.
trial school for the girls, but we have
neither an agricultural school nor an
agricultural college, although the United
States Government has given to the far
me1s of Georgia the Land Scrip fund,
which yields about $4,000 per annum,
and the Hatch funds of $4,000, which
will increase to $4,000 per annum, and
what have got for all this money? Rock
college, without bona fde students, and
the Experimental farm at Griffin that
does not make food enough to feed its
stock, but can teach the farmers to raise
cotton at 81 cents per pound, and bought
supplies. What practical farmer be-
heves it? would suggest to Mr.. Nesbit
not to play the detective with the guano
factories, but to catch the thieves that
have run away with the land cript fund
and reform the fraud at Griffin.
The State chemist is open to grave
charges in Analysing for manufacturers
their guano in advance of the inspection
analysis also, the clerk to make illegal
charges and to refund the money. Has
Mr.. Nesbit made his annual statement
to the governor, and if he has, why not
publish the same? The system of in
speeding guano at present is impractical
bic and virtually leads to no inspection.
Education is the important question
with farmers, for with education they
will learn and apply the great economic
questions of the day to lettering their
financial condition, and whoever may
be the Commissioner of Agriculture
should direct his energies and intellect
to advance this great object among the
producers. Educate the farmer IN intel
ligent agriculture and political economy
and he will take care of the guano and
tax systems. We have had too much
inspection and too little care of the edu-
cation question in the Agricultural de-
partment of this country. A change we
need and a change we will have, as this
is an age of probabilities

Editor Southern Alliance Farmer:
l have thought great deal for the
last two weeks about a conversation l
had with a gentleman from the Tenth
District while on the train from At

ricuItural Society. Before state
what was said in the conversation, [
will try to describe the gentleman SO
that he may be located.
[ have wished hundred times since
that l had asked his name. If | mis-
take not he was from Warren county.
He was rather tall and thin visaged,
wore linen buster, and I think, wore
a cream colored straw hat. His beard
or whiskers was tinged with grey and

In Kansas

The Topeka Advocate notes:
The Democrats of Georgia are do
ing some standing up for their state.
They recently attempted the assassin
alton Of Col. Peek, the Peoples party
nominee for governor, and his com
panlon, the Hon. c. G. Post, this be-
ing thought easier than to beat them
in the campaign. The Georgia pa
triots have been taking lessons of
Judge Botkin and his friend Bren-
nan.
The Advocate treats the "wolf"
cry of the Republicans In Kansas as
follows:
The Advocate and several other
reform papers have had a hard task
for year and half getting the peo-
pie to realize that it was Republican
politicians who were doing most
toward injuring the name Of the state.
Now tits as plain as day to everybody
that had it not been for the attempt
to annihilate the Peoples party by
villifying and misrepresenting it the
bug-a- boo of reputation and anarchy
would never have stalked east to
brighten the wretches who live on
the productions Of western Drawn
and muscle. The honest men and
women who built up Kansas are here
to stay. They know what they want.
They acknowledge their Indebtedness
and want to pay it when they can.
They have stood up for Kansas for
long time and they are not to be
browbeaten now by the sound of
their own motto, "Stand up for Kan
sas," when it comes in mocking tones
from their enemies. Our farmers,
mechanics and laborers will be stand
ing up for Kansas when these money
serving politicians will be sneaking
back to their wifes' folks.

rather thin in production, Inns oe-
ssription may not be exactly corrsct'
but hope it may be sufficient to locate
him.
Now comes the language that ne
used: He said that the democrats were
going to spend 100000 in the Tenth
District or beat Tom Watson. lie
further stated that if they could not
beat him fairly they were going to DO
it foully.
can prove the above statement by
several as good citizens as ever AVod
in Georgia. If any citizen that lives IN
the Tenth can locate him and he de-
MES it, the proof is forth coming.
Now, word to the good citizens OF
Georgia. Let us have free ballot
and fair count. We do not want the
history of the late Alabama election
repeated in Georgia. | believe L
speak the sentiment Of every Peoples
Party man in Georgia when l say that
want fair honorable election. Let
each party have a good and true man
at every precinct to see that justice is
done. This is what the Peoples
Party ask, and they will not put up
with anything less.
Give us free ballot and fair count
as our constitution guarantees, and we
will be satisfied. l hope the good peo-
pie of the Tenth district will see that
this is done, Notwithstanding the
threats of one of her citizens. | write
this that the Peoples Party in the
Tenth may be on their guard and ward
off any unfair means TO defeat the will
of the people. God knows we have a
set here in Douglas that old Nick HIM
self cannot beat, but hope they will
not resort to any false and unfair
means. All we ask is free ballot and
a fair count, and if we are beaten we
will bow with submission to the will
of the majority of our citizens.
This we not only ask, but this is
what we demand and will not be con-
tent with anything less. We simply
ask that justice may be done. Give us
a man and you take man and
let them receive and deposit
the ballots and.then count them out as
deposited. We ask this and will not
take anything less. E. II. CAMP.

Corruption Fund For the Tenth.

corruption Fund For the Tenth.
The Southern Alliance Farmer.
Tom Watson has got to fight the
combined power of hell and money in
the tenth. Livingston said at Gaines
vile in the presence of six witnesses
that one hundred thousand dollars had
been raised for the tenth. He said
there was no doubt but what Watson
had majority of the white vote of the
district, but they would buy up the
negroes and f1oaters with this hundred
thousand dollars and elect Black. He
said the national campaign committee
would put in fifty thousand, the city
OF Augusta twenty-five thousand and
some sister city outside the district
had subscribed twenty-five thousand.
This is politics with a vim. De-
nouncing the force bill and yet propos
ing to bride whole district at one
fell swoop. This is a specimen of
campaigning that the democrats de-
nounce the republicans for, yet when
an opportunity presents itself they are
just as ready to do the dirty work as
the republicans. We do not believe
the tenth is purchasable district.
We do not believe that the honest
hardworking people of the tenth are
ready to sell their patriotism and love
OF country for few paltry dollars.
We do not believe that the colord
voters of this district are so void of
principle as to exchange their right of
suffrage for little money. We do
not believe that these hell hounds who
are seeking to stuff the ballot box with
bribed votes and defeat the will of the
people will succeed in the tenth. The
people are in no humor for such high
way robbery as this and the political
party that undertakes such ballot box
stufing will lose the respect ofa hon
est law abiding and liberty loving peo-
pie in the land.
1t has been said that this was fight
of IGNORANCE and poverty against
wealth and intelligence. The people
who are standing up for their rights,
for a just share of the wealth they pro-
duce, are poor, thirty years of robbery
is sufficient to make them SO, but they
are honest. They are not graduates;
they have had no time nor money to
go to college, but they do know what
they need and where to get it. The
fight narrowed down is this: The
people against plutocracy, honesty
against thieves in high places.
We believe that this public ssattempt
at ballot-box stufing by bribery in the
tenth is only speciman of the pro-
gram in every other districts.
Will the honest people submit and
uphold such a diabolical scheme to des-
troy forever the hope of solving these
problems honestly at the ballot box.

Who was it that fought the revolu-
ton? Laboring men, principally farm
ers. Who fought the war of 1912?
Laboring men, principally farmers.
Who fought the war of 1851 to 1864 on
both sides? Laboring men, farmers,
mechanics, clerks and laborers. Who
produce all the wealth Of this country?
Farmers, mechanic, miners and labor
ing men. Then in the name of high
heaven, common sense and reason,
who has the best right to govern this
country? The same class of men who
fought the country's battles and will
fight them again when necessary.
Who raise the wheat, corn, oats and
meat that feed us all, the wool, cotton
and flax that clothe us all. that raise
the coal that warns us all, that dig for
the iron, lead, copper, silver and gold
used by all. And by the eternal, as
sure as God reigns, they are going to
do it, too. j. A. HENDERSON.

age stamps has been adopted, which
travellers can use on all lines and
with which freight can also be pre-
paid. The saving is enormous, and the
people get the full benefit of it. In
this country the ticket, freight and
advertising agencies which compet-
ing railroads companies are employ
ing cost over $2OO,OO0,000 a year.
The princely salaries and "pickings"
OF presidents, directors and contract
ors and host of parasites, amount
to fully an equal, ifnot larger sum.
Then comes the interest on stocks
abundantly watered. For all this
the people pay. 1t is safe to
say that of the gross earnings over
$800,000,000 would be saved to the
people by government ownership
and operation of national highways.
The Belgian government took
charge of the railroads of that coun-
try in 1865. The first eight years
the tonnage increased Overcome hun
dred per cent, receipts almost fifty
per cent, and saved the people in re-
duced rates 100000 after paying
profit to the government of 81, $780,
600. From 1870 to 1883, according
to the latest reports at hand, the re-
ceipts increased 1914 per cent with
the very best service and manage
ment in the world still in vogue.

THE MOVEMENT IN AUGUST.
Enthusiasm all Along the Line-Or-
ganizing VictOry-What the
Papers SAVE

Papers Says
The month that is closing is big
with the fate of the effete political
organizations that have ruled this
country for generations.
Doodle or sectional bitterness may
rule the country for time, but not
all the while.
The indictment found by the PEG.
pies party at Omaha has done much
to shatter both the democratic and
republican parties the remedies pro-
posed by the peoples party have
done more.
Republican papers like the Kansas
City Star admit that in Missouri and
Kansas the popular support of the
peoples party threatens to carry the
two states over to the new organic
alton.
August has put California in, the
ranks of the doubtful states. Scores
of letters to The New Nation give
assurance to reformers in New Eng
land that the populists hope and ex-
pect to carry California. The south
ern half Of the state is ours already.
United State Senator Stewart of
Colorado has come out for the peo-
pies party. This means that the
four silver states are for Weaver and
Field.
1t is now generally admitted that
the Alabama farmers, headed by
Kolb, carried that state. The Jones
democratic majorities were from
the Is negro counties. Tbs Kolb
forces will be for Weaver in Novem-
Der. 1t viii be little short of mir
acle if the state remains solid for the
democracy in November. August
was populist month in Alabama.
Gov. Boyd of Nebraska admits that
his party cannot carry the state for
Cleveland, and says that he will sup
port Weaver; SO will the democrats
generally.
The Kolb men and, the peoples
party committee nave selected Sep
TENDER Is at Birmingham for the hold
ing Of convention for nominating
Weaver electors for Alabama.
Gov. Toole of Montana has come
out for the peoples party.
The democratic split in Texas is
nuts for the peoples party. Judge
F. L, Nugent, the populist candidate
for governor, is holding rousing
meetings, and his friends think he
will sweep the state. Peoples party
encampments, lasting three or four
days, are the order Of the day. At
a recent one at Stephenville, over
5000 people were on the ground
the second and third day. Roger @
Mills held a joint debate with Harry
Tracy of Dallas fortnight ago, and
Mills while Tracy was speaking left
the platform. There were 1000 peo-
pie present and large majority of
them were populists.
The South Dakota democrats have
ratified the peoples party ticket.

TO ADVERTISERS.

The circulation of the Peoples Party
Paper is now 1900 copies to actual sub
scribers. No better medium could be
found for reaching the farmers Of Geor-
gia and of the South, and advertisers
are requested to consider its merits. The
following certificate of the postmaster at
Atlanta, Ga, the Office of publication,
needs only the additional remark that
the paper used in the publication weighs
A pounds per ream to fully explain
itself:
ATLANTA, GA, July %, 1892.
This is to certify that The Peoples
Party Paper, during the week ending
July 23d, 1902, mailed sixteen hundred

has made him a host of new friends
who will be pleased to see him return
ed to Congress by an increased ma
jority. Mr.. Watson is young man,
having been born in 1856, and was
sent to Congress as Democrat, but
has since allied himself with the Peo-
ple's Party, and because of his ability
has been the leader of that party on
the floor of the House. This has
caused all the majority to turn all
their heavy guns upon him. But
he has proved himself an able fighter,
capable of bearing the brunt of bat
tie, and in him the Peoples Party
have a brave, energetic and worthy
defender.

Managing the Peoples Party Clubs.

A Peoples Party club, fit is to do
effective work, in the first place, must
be thoroughly organized. It must
have simple yet complete constitu-
ton also a set of clear, concise rules
or bylaws.
Again, the club must have on its
roster the names of all the Peoples
Party men in the territory where it
is designed to work. The old men
should do the counselling, and the
young men should do the work.
The club officers should be represent
alive men and men of energy. Cliques
and factions shonld not be tolerated.
1t is the design of political clubs to-
heal any soreness that may exist in
local politics. Every club should
have a regular meeting place; if pos
sible, room for it's exclusive use. In
the club room should be kept on file
some of the standard Peoples Party
newspapers, and illustrated papers.
There should also be such printed
matter as shall make clear to the most
ignorant inquirer the precise position
the Peoples Party upon all the issues.
A club may not try to meet oftener
than once week, except in the hot
test part of the campaign. There is
a danger of squande1ing enthusiasm.
1t should be economical and made
always to accomplish something. AS
often as possible some well-informed
man should be secured to speak at
the club meetings; a man from a
short distance will usually be more
interesting than local speaker.
A club should work for the young
men. 1t is we'll nigh impossible to
convert an old, dyed-in-t he-wool
Democrat, but it is possible to con-
vince and convert his son. Personal
work by club members is the most
effective. Poll the district which
the club is designed to work, and
then assign to some club member
each man whom 20, poll shows is
in the slightest degree doubtful. It
is good plan to get the ladies inter
ested in the club. The ladies are
often tempting bait to young voters.
On election day let the younger club
members see to it that every reform
voter is brought to the polls.
The chairman Of your state ex-
ecutive committee will probably fur
nish you with campaign literature.

Livingston and Moses have been re-
nominated as a reward for their deser-
ton of the Ocala platform.
