Messrs. Post, Ellington. and Branch for
their action at the ST. Louis conference

showing in the discussion Of the silver
bill, and in all public questions that
are granted the other parties.

TALIAFERRO COUNTY ALL
ANCE

Whereas, The National Alliance at
Ocala did, by resolution passed with
out dissenting vote, provide for
conference of all the industrial organi
cations of the country, with the ex-
pressed purpose of deciding whether
it was necessary to organize new
political party in order to secure our
just demands; and,
Whereas, That conference, sO-called,
was held in ST. Louis, February %,
and did, by a unanimous vote of all
present Except few from Georgia,
who had apparently been purchased
by the plutocrats for the purpofe Of
disorganizing the movement), decide
that it "was" necessary to organize a
new party; and,
Whereas, A majority of the execu-
tive committee of the State Alliance of
Georgia have not only refused to &C
cept and abide by the action then ia
ken, but, in obedience to the commands
of our enemies, sought to destroy the
order and revoke the charters of all
Alliances that accepted such action in
good faith. Therefore be it
Resolved, That we hold those who
refuse to abide by the action of the St.
Louis conference, called as it was by
the legally accredited authorities of
the Alliance at Ocala, as failing to OBJ
serve to the fullest the teachings of
the order, which is unity in all things,
and that we hold those who now
threaten to annul our charters and so
principle upon which our order is
founded, and therefore unworthy of
the support, confidence or esteem of
our membership.
Resolved, That by such action they
have proven themselves partisans of
the rankest sort, and partisans, too, of
that plutocratic power, to crush which
we are now organized, and to accom-
plish which we here and now pledge
our lives, our fortunes and our sacred
honor.
Resolved further, That the attempt
to remove Bro. Irwin from the editor
ship of the Southern Alliance Farmer
is in direct violation of the known
will of the vast majority of the mem
bership, and is further proof that L. F.
LivinstOn has sold himself to our enc
mics, and is seeking to destroy our
means of communication one with
another, that we may the more easily
be made the slaves of plutocracy, to
which he has sold himself and to which
he seeks to deliver us US.
Resolved further, That we hold our
charters and our organization as the
bulwark of our liberties, and dare any
man or any set of men to attempt TO
take them from US.
Passed without dissenting vote.

The Neurological School Burned.

The State archaeological work shops,
at Atlanta, costing $4,000, and con-
tanning $4,000 worth of machinery,
burned to the ground on the morning
of the Dist.
We regard this as grievous loss to
the people of the State, as the school
was unquestionably turning out some
fine workmen from among the young
men of Georgia, one hundred and
ninety-nine of whom were in attend
ance at the time of the destruction of
the building.
The fire was discovered about two
o'clock in the morning, and in half an
hour the building was in ruins, in spite
of the efforts of the fire department to
stay the flames.
The school building which stood
near the shops was saved.

FOREIGN.

A plot to assassinate the young king
of Spain is said to have been detected
and much uneasiness is felt in conse-

In France great fear is felt of riots
by the poor on May day when great
labor demonstrations have been ar
ranged for.
The dispatches say that labor leaders
expect the police will arrest them with
a view of stopping the demonstrations,
but they are not dismayed. One thou
sand two hundred and fifty delegates
representing 100000 workers, will
come to Paris.

FIRST TO SPEAK OUT.

Whereas, East Atlanta Alliance, No,
$3.50, having endorsed the st. Louis
platform, and having done so heartily,
we propose to stand by that action
therefore,
Resolved, That whilst we love and
cherish our charter, as liberty loving
men we esteem freedom of speech and
action more dearly than we do our
charter; and, if the State Alliance of
Georgia, in consonance with the policy
outlined the State Executive Commit
tee, in recent session in this city, de-
mands of this sub-Alliance that it re-.
scind it's action on the st. Louis Con-
ference, or surrender it's charter, that
we stand by our action, and the State
Secretary can send and get the char
ter.

RICHMOND COUNTY,
April Is, 1892.

April 10, 1892.
We, noting in the Augusta Chronicle
of this date, the action Of President l..
f. Livingston and part of the execu-
tive committee of the State Alliance,
charging the sub and county organiza-
tions with gagging their members in
their political freedom, declare that in
the many hundred resolutions read by
us from the different Alliances, that
none were dictatorial; but to the con-
trary all speak out boldly for indepen-
dent action, allowing to every one per-
feet political freedom, wherein we are
in perfect harmony with our constitu
ton and the action of the Supreme
Council.
But President Livingston is stump
ping the State in the interest of the
Democratic party and using every
means he can contrive to disrupt the
Alliance and defeat the Peoples move
ment, thereby showing that he is gull
ty of the charge which he seeks today
at our doors; therefore, be it resolved,
by Belleviu Alliance in regular session
assembled
That we reaffirm the action hereto
fore taken by us as to our political
course.
Resolved second, That we again de-
nounce Hon. L. F. Livingston for be-
traying his trust and not having the
honesty or manliness to resign posi-
ton, which he continues to hold, only
to iniure those who have honored and

EARTHQUAKES IN CALIFORNIA.

Two shocks of earthquakes occurred
in California on the 49th-the heaviest
felt for years.
The town of Vacayille, situatedin the
heart of beautiful Vaca Valley, sixty
i've miles from San Francisco, was the
center of the disturbance. Vacaville is
town of 2700 population, and on it's
main street were number of hrick
buildings. A number of buildings were
badly damaged or totally destroyed, as
well as number of brick residences in
the vicinity.
Many walls fell outward into the
street, which was filled with derbis, but
which workman at once began to clear
away. Many of the walls were of frail
character and succumbed easily to the
shock. Very slight damage occurred to
frame houses.
Dixon and Winters, towns of about
1900 inhabitants, located, respectively,
northeast and northwest of Vacaville,
and within few miles of the latter
place, were also scenes Of considerable
destruction.
The Masonic hall at Dixon two story
brick block, was ruined and its falling
walls shattered adjoining houses. Fire
which broke out among the ruins caused
some damage atWinters but the damage
was lessened by an abundant water sup
ply.
Forty guests were in the Bliss Hotel
at Winters, the walls of which collapsed,
and that no one was injured by the cav
ing of walls was remarkable. Old and
new brick school houses and several
new brick buildings in Winters were
cracked and wrenched from their fOun-
datiOn.
The banks of Putah Greek caved in
and assures opened in the bottom of
the creek. Three miles west of town
an acre of groud slid into the creek
and
SMALL FIssUREs WERE MADE
in the country road. Several great
boulders were thrown from the hill
sides at a point on the Beeiesco road,
near Winters, blocking the roadway.
