lima "a cents per bushel is being
generally paid for seed,
Last year Mr.. A. J. Norris, then
president of the Edge6eld Oil
Mill, paid here from 90 to 80 cents,
and the crude oil is as high in the
markets now as then.
Nor is this the whole of the
conspiracy. The fertilizer COM
panies have also agreed to false the
price of fertilizers far above the
prices of last year, but this part
of the nefarious business is not to
be developed until early in the sea-
son of 1894, and after the oil mills
have ceased to buy cotton seed.
Having given the details of this
Infamous scheme to defraud the
farmers, we pause to ask, what are
you going to do about it?
What will the Alliance do about
it?
F. Can't you do little combining
on your own account?
You knocked the socks off the
iute trust, and can do the same
with the oil and fertilizer trusts.
But you can't accomplish this
by sitting still and waiting for
these vampires to turn loose their
hold on you.
What use is your organization
unless in an emergency like this it
comes to the front and raises thun-
der!
The thinking farmers are fast
losing interest in the Alliance be-
cause since the victory over the
iute trust the organization has
folded its arms to all questions OF
practical utility, and is in fact be-
ing ridden to death by small poll
ticians. With the greatest posi-
bilities for good it is actually dying
with the dry rot,
The Georgia farmers have already
moved in this matter and resolved
to down these trusts. They will
be rejoiced to join hands with
their brothers on this side of the
river.
A resolute and persistent effort
against these oil and fertilizer vam-
pires will save immense amounts
to our farmers, and will do mnch
to resuscitate the dying Alliance
brotherhood, and make it again a
potent factor in economic and in
dustrial questions.

The first national. English
Thanksgiving was on Sept. S,15SS

The New England Thanksgiving
dates from 1888, when the Massa-

The first national Thanksgiving

The first great American Thanks

one more national thanksgiving in

General Hampton's Practical
Joke.

Press and Banner.
We ask attention 10 the second
letter of General Hampton. When
we consider the Interpretation
which is now put upon his first
letter together with the attitude of
some of the esteemed brethren, it
makes one of the funniest things
that we have seen in print for a
long time.
While nobody said he had been
lying awake at night thinking up
the necessity for organizing extra
double struck Democratic clubs
outside of the regular Democracy,
yet that idea is suggested, sby the
comments on General Hamptons
letter.
General Hampton now comes
ont and explains that it sprema-
ture at this time to organize snch
extra refined Democrats into sep
arate little squads to themselves.
And So it is, that those of our
fellow citizens who caught at Gen.
.eral Hampton's suggestion are left
to run their own schemes and to
carry out the good ideas which he
first suggested, ,and at which they SO
readily caught: -.
Aside from the lndicrous posi-
ton in which some of the brethren
have placed themselves the. cir
cumstance teaches a wholesome
lesson, in that readers, as well as
editors, ought to do a little think
ing for themselves, and.not ac-
cept anybody's ideas, nnless they
are based on reason and the de-
mands of the times.
Our people should be sure that
they understand what they are
doing before they throw off their
hats and hurrah, no matter who
may assume to Le the jokerss
Will the esteemed brethren go
on organizing their favorite true
blue-extra refined Democratic
clubs, or will they wait q little?
Hampton doesn': think this
is the time, but some of the breth-
rem have been urging this as tie
proper time, and in this have mn
consciously differed from their
illustrious chieftain, whose santi-
ments they thought they had
adopted.
We submit that it was a little
unfeeling in General Hampton to
play this joke on his friends, and
thus lead them into lndicrous
position.

went so far as to appoint commission
to hear evidence, which the defense
promised to produce to substantlate
their claim that Mary Helen Potts was
addicted to the use of morphine. The
commission reported that il Helen Potts
took morphine it was incidentally and

governor severed the last thread that

Harris has been one of the most re-
markable murderers ever arraigned be-
fore a court. Never for an instant has
he lost his GOODNESS, almost amounting
to haughtiness. Never has he ceased
toprotest that he was entirely innocent,
and declare his confidence that he
would ultimately be freed and go clear
before the world. There has been some
thing theatrical in his manner,
but his cold dignity and apparent
confidence have mad enough OF
the genuine in them to convince great
many. Since he has been in the con-
demned cells at Sing Sing. the reports,
necessarily received as hearsay from his
keepers, have shown that he was begin
ming to break down physically and at
heart. The last sensational story circu-
lated in connection with him was to the
effect that on the night that Roehl and
Pallister, two condemned murderers,
escaped from the condemned corridor,
his liberty was offered to Harris and it
was refused. This was denied by the
prison authorities.

Presbyterians to Gather in Wash

WASHINGTON, May 7.-Preparations
for the meeting CT the one hundred and
fifth general assembly of the Presby-
terrain Church of the United States,
which will begin in this city on the 18th
inst, are about complete. They have
been conducted by a committee OF the
New York Avenue church, III which
the sessions of the assembly will be
held. Associated with this executive
committee in the varied details Of the
work are numerous committees COM
p1iSing prominent men in the national
council, the organization, as whole,
being probably the most distinguished
body that ever acted in similar
capacity. The general assembly
will continue in session about
twelve days, and it will be one OF the
most important in the history Of The
church. The pres-ubjects will engross
its attention, coming over from the
meeting at Portland last year. These
are the report of the committee on
seminaries, the appeal of the committee
which prosecuted Prof. Briggs from the
action of the New York presbytery. and
the revision of the confession Of faith.
A partial poll has been made of the
ministers of the church, from the re-
suits of which it is the belief that the
question Of revision will be relegated to
the background for the present; and
that, therefore, the Briggs case will be
the most important and Interesting
topic of consideration. Coincidentally
with the general assembly will be held
the annual meetings of the Women'S
Foreign and Home Missionary societies,
AUXILIARY to the boards of the church.

faith to Linger; George Long thinks he
will repeat his triumph Of last year with

seems to have slightly the best OF it,

Yesterday he csYered the Derby route
in 2:42M, we'll in hand. Lookout and
Boundless also made the distance in
2:42% and 2:44M respectively. Look
outs performance is considered tho bet
ter OF the two, for the reason that he
was pulled up at the half and also
eased at the mile, then finish
ing strong in 2:44M. Linger has bis
public performance at Lexington TO rely

distance. The Cushing u Ortiz pair
will be the favOriteS IN the betting,
