Thinks q Crisis Imminent.
LILY POND, GA, Ma

LILY POND, GA, May 3.
In view Of the financial condition
and the political situation of this
country, it is evident to my mind
that we are rapidly approaching a
crisis which will either terminate in
war or the enslavement of the labor
ers of this country. Now, if any
man doubts this, then | ask him to
look at the financial condition Of the
laborers, and then look at the attitude
of the rotten egg party and the atti-
tude of both the old parties who are
SO much in touch and sympathy and
harmony with each other that they
twain have become one party, their
interests and purposes are the same,
to Cypress and enslave the laborer ;
and while the honest toiling men
who voted the Peoples ticket are in
earnest and are determined to labor
for reform and relief, the combined
capitalists of this country aud Europe
who own and dominate both the old
parties are more determined to en-
slave us. The lines between capital
and labor are being SO closely drawn
that it seems to me that any thinking
man can see that every possible
effort is being made by the capital
lists to put US in the most abject form
of slavery, and that soon it will be
done unless the people resort to arms
in defense of liberty.
Remember, when legislation is
proposed to prohibit the publication
of reform literature, that I told you
so. Some of my Peoples party
friends may think my views extreme.
/ want to say to every Peoples party
man, if you are afraid to fight and
don't intend to fight, you had better
desert your party now.

the wealth of the government instead
of the boarded metal of the conspira-
tors of Lombard and Wall streets.
Just so long as gold measures the
value of our paper circulation will
labor pay for the fddling. Such
a currency measures, or fixes, the
price of labor and the products
of labor, based on a non-legal tender
against legal tender or gold basis.
We sell our labor and products for a
legal or non-legal tender, and buy
necessities which have to be paid for
in legal tender or gold basis currency.
Beyond question we are paying
tribute to the goldbugs, and we are
prone to ask where we are at.
Mr.. Editor, from a standpoint
backed by Jeffersonian principles, the
answer is: Lombard and Wall street
goldbugs fixing the price of labor and
its products, boarding and holding
their gold in order to dictate the issu-
anoe of new bonds by the govern
ment on gold basis. What picture
for free America! A few bloated
conspirators debating its financial
policies! We can only wait and see
as to whether the rights of the peo-
pie or Lombard and Wall street will
prevail. G. W. CROPS.

lions of our scanty allowances into
the Golfers of this licensed band of
oppressors. We are reaping the ben
efts of home industry by England
pricing our products, and America
robbing us fifty cents on the dollar
on the necessities of life; England
pricing our cotton at 81 cents, Amer
lea charging US seventy-five cents
pound back in manufactured goods
under cover of home industry-the
products of our Southern mills being
bought cheaper in New York and
Boston than at the mills. Where are
the benefits of projection and home
Industries? Dead and buried by the
marital ties of corrupt combines.
The money or banking system, from
the earliest days of our government,
has been questioned by our safest
and best men. Jefferson and Jack
son, followed by Calhoun and others,
always opposed corporate control.
Jefferson says: "For the safety of the
government and the good of the peo-
pie the moneys of the government
must be separated from banking in
stitutions." Jefferson foresaw the
evil fruits of corporate control. Ham
ilton, backed by the Federalist ideas,
favored the control by banks. SUI
fee it to say that the Hamiltonian
curse is upon US to- day, and as the
assumed followers of Jefferson are
now in power, it only remains to be
seen what disposition will be made
of it.
If Jefferson was right, those as
Stunning to sail under his colors should
give the people currency independ-
ent of corporate control. For if JEFF
ferson could awake from the sleep of
death he would now see what he
foresaw while contending for the
rights of the peopIe-a monopolized
currency and the demons of plutoc-
raoy buckling the collar around the
necks of the people; the issuance of
this currency delegated into the avari-
cious grasp of the Shylocks at per
cent and the people forced to pay
per cent. This system illustrated
clearing in mind that the people
COMPOSE the goVernmenD: A repre-
sents the government, and B the peo-

of corn is required for business uses.
A and B first control this corn, but
delegate its issuance to G at one
bushel rent. B calls on @ to borrow.
G. says its unconstitutional to let YOU
have it, but furnish D with your collat-
eral and d can get it on these collat-
erals at about four bushels rent. In
turn, d discounts and charges B, or
the people, forty bushels rent, the peo-
pie being charged at the rates of forty
per cent on what Jefferson says was
the peoples corn. Is it possible that
a more perfect system of legallzed
robbery could be practiced on apeople?

sons, this would only tend to open
up new fields for speculation. JEFF

There has been, perhaps, time
when corporations filled an honora-
BILE position in the channels of bust
ness. Before the days of combines
and monopolies to perfect the greed
and avarice of capital, corporations
acted the part Of justice. In railways
competition brought about legitimate
freights; manufacturing gave thepeo
pie goods controlled by competing
prices; banks, with competition, re
suited in living rates of interest and
a free circulation. But what are the
facts in this day of combine Each
married or gwen in marriage by the
corrupt ties of combine, the offspring
of which is, as designed, oppression.
In railways we are forced to pay mil
lions as a tribute to watered stock.
With their corporate powers they
have Influenced legislation and robbed
the people of millions of acres of our
public lands in the way of land grants.
They, by their influence, shape ap-
polntments and elections, and our
courts are controlled to the extent of
judges shaping verdicts and constru-
ing the laws SO as to chain men to
their engines with as much grace as
the master chained his slave to the
pillow in the days of slavery. The
family of manufacturers claiming in
fancy asked protection and exemp-
ton from taxation. Our lawmakers,
under pretext of home industry,
granted their prayers. But where

A new way of creating breeze is by the
use of brass fans. Restaurants, saloons
and stores in New York have various forms
of apparatus for stirring up breeze and
keeping the apartment cool. Some of them
use sort of paddle wheel, which is made
to revolve by clockwork. This is found at
the tables of many hotels. 1t Ii wound up
before the meals and set going for the pur-
pose of making the place cooler and par
ticularly to keep away the flies. 1t takes
the place Of the long fan of peacock feath-
ers which was formerly welded by some
young girl or in the south by the colored
boy, who kept brushing the guests at the
table to keep the flies off them. Develop
ing from that idea came different kinds of
fans suspended from the ceiling and worked
with pulleys The force of clockwork is
enough to move them, or the arrangement
may be attached by bands to any other kind
of power.
A new fashion in this respect has ap-
peared. 1t is in the shape Of brass palm
leaved fans Of enormous size. They are sus-
pended in rows along the ceiling and
worked to and fro by the old pulley arrange
ment. The simultaneous swaying Of a
dozen or score of fans makes breeze on the
most sultry day.--New York Sun.

It is a remarkable fact that although
there are nearly or quite 100000 Towering
plants known the relative number having
odor Is wonderfully small, not more than
10 per cent, in fact. In connection with this
it Is noteworthy That because one species Of
flower is endowed with sweet odor 1t does
not necessarily follow that all, or nearly all,
or even fair proportion Of the other spe-
cies of the same family will be as favorably
endowed. An illustration Of this Is found
in the familiar mignonette There are some
80 species of this genus known, and of them
all but one has any fragrance. Nor is it
certain that be most insignificant looking
flower has the greatest fragrance or the
most gorgeously colored likely to be with
out odor, thus seemingly disproving the
theory that color and fragrance are given
flowers for the purpose Of attracting in
sects to assist in cross fertilization. -Philar

Tic Work OF lightning.


i The old saying that ''lightning
never strikes the same place twice
received q Knockout during the storm
on Saturday evening. as the house OF
David Ford. at kiverview, received
another shock, making the third
within ten years. About $50 O'Clock
on Saturday evening. while the storm
was at its height, Mrs. Ford and her
son were in an out kitchen watching
the lightning. when suddenly a bolt
struck tho chimney oil the north side,
knocking of a number of bricks,
which rolled down the roof to the
lground.
Tho lightning did not follow the
chimney down, but the conclusion
blew the file board of the old fash
Toned chimney out of place. and 1t In
falling struck the stove and sent the
lpipe crashing to the floor. Two lamps
were also knocked down from tho
mantel and broken, but no other dam
age was done. Mrs. Ford and her son
were almost blinded by tho flash. but
escaped injury. Mr.. Ford was In
town at the time. but as soon as he
heard of the accident he hastened
home and was greatly relieved to learn
that his wife and child had escaped In
Jury.
Two years ago, Mr.. Ford and his
family had finished dinner, and Mrs.
Ford was busy making some bread,
when heavy storm,came up. During
the storm MIR. Ford sat near the dooi
on the north side of the house doing
some writing. His little son was ",
ling on settee close by. Mrs. Ford
was about to go fIom the dining room
to the kitchen when bolt struck the
chimney in the same spot Us last
night and continued through the
house to the cellar,
MIR. Ford was knocked off the chair
on which he was seated. For ten oil
Fifteen minutes lie was unconscious
and long after he gained conscious
mess he could not soc. MIR. Ford say
he served in the late War four years
but never had such an experience a
that.
Mrs. Ford and the little boy wer,
also stunned. and when the latter ia
gained consciousness be inquired witt

At that time the lightning tore oil

Detective Witsil made very import
ant arrest last Saturday, the man being
Clarence Cooper, alias Ampson, color
ed, who is charged with criminally
assaulting Elsie Grant, l2 year-old
colored girl, residing at No. 1913 Frenct
street. 1t Is alleged that the assault
was committed April 20, at the girls
residence. and that the circumstances
are as follows:
Mrs. Grant, the child-s stepm other
went to market leaving Cooper alone
in the house with the child. During
her absence the crime was committed
and when she returned Cooper hac
left, but before leaving had 30 terror
lied the child with threats of what he
would do II she dared to say wore
about what had happened, that sht
WAS afraid to mention the matter &c
her mother, upon her return. Mis-
Grant, however, noticed in day OF
two. that something allied the child
and upon questioning her closely as
certained the facts.
She Immediately had a warrant Is
sued for Cooper. but he had abscond
| ed, and the officers have been looking
for him ever since. Last week Detec
| tive Witsil secured Information which
led him to believe the fugitive was IL

Talkfnv wfth an "Accomplished' Person.
Good nstured a. am and easily pleased,

our house with whom cannot seem to get
ON at all. Miss Van Benthusen is accom-
lplished." She writes and paints and be-
longs, am told, TO several societies. but
for some reason I had contracted preju-
dice against her. In my own house and in
the presence OF very select gathering she
asked me what was the date Of the second
Punic war, which, she said, had escaped
her. replied that, II 1t was all the same to
her, would join in with the second Punic
war and escape her too. So left the gath
ering selected by the girls and went up to
the smoking room to another selected by
myself, and there Jim Leroy, Harry Mont
gomery, the kitty" and passed the rest
OF the evening.
Miss Van Benthusen is very aristocratic,
but do think she showed singularly poor
taste In asking me that question. II 1t had
been the price Of "Cordage" or Reading

even. After breakfast was taken into the
parlor and shown what Nan called "vahz'

fresh from the kiln. 1t was odious. Still
under ordinary circumstances, | should
have lied with alacrity and a total disregard
for my poor soul. As It was-the circum
stances being extraordinary-all said was
that the flowers in IL were very pretty.
\ "Yes, they are pretty" said Miss Var
Benthusen clammily. II gathered then
myself. They are wild flowers" Ant
when said hastily that I didn't wonder
and she asked innocently, lat whatl" i'm

any flower wild to be in a vase like that. -
