Conscience Makes towards.

amusing story concerning an incl
dent which occurred long ago in one OF
the mountain counties in North Georgia.
1t should be promised that the state
of Georgia has very stringent law for
bidding it's citizens to carry pistols.
Judge Lester was holding court III a lit
tie town, when suddenly he suspended
the trial of case by ordering the sheriff
TO lock the doors of the court house, SO
that no one could make his egress from
it.
Gentlemen" said the judge, when
the doors were closed, II have just seen
a pistol on a man in this room, and |
cannot reconcile it to my sense of duty
as a peace officer to let such a violation
of the law pass unnoticed. / ought, per-
haps, to go before the grand jury and in
dict him: but if that man will walk up
to this stand and lay his pistol and fine
of one dollar down here, will let him
off this time"
The Judge pause; and an attorney
sitting before him got up, slipped his
hand into his hip-pocket, drew out
neat ivory-handled six-shooter, and laid
it and a dollar down upon the stand.
''This is all right" said the judge,
''but you are not the man saw with the
pistol"
Upon this another attorney arose and
laid down a Colts revolver and dollar
bill before the judge, who repeated MS
former observation.
The process went on until nineteen
pistols of all kinds and sizes and shapes
Law upon the stand, together with nine
teen dollars by their sides.
The Judge laughed as he compliment

ed the nineteen delinquents upon being
men of business, but added that the man
whom he had seen with the pistol had
not yet come up, and glancing to the far
side of the court room, he continued:
II will give him one minute to accept
my proposition, and if he fails | will
hand him over to tie sheriff"
Immediately two men from the back
of the court arose and began TO move to-
wards the judges stand. Once they
stopped to look at each other; and then
coming slowly forward, laid down their
pistols and their dollar. AS they turned
their backs the judge said: "This man
with the black whiskers is the one that
originally saw

preached upon the confession Of ones
sins as Decessary to fOrgi eness. A mere

Tramps in the South.

From the Albany Herald.
Among the many questions of vital
importance to the people of the South,
there is none of greater magnitude than
what is to be done with the tramps that
infest this section every year.
From past experience, it seems that
Georgia and Florida are glorious Ravens
for these peregrinating species of the
genus homo, and they are continually
with us, with little prospects of an
abatement of the semi-annual influx.
Of course we don't want them, but
we cannot help ourselves very well, and
the only thing we can do at present is to
''grin and bear it.
But let's see what this class of tourists
am cunts to in this part of the country
From yesterdays specials to the Herald
it will be seen that two prominent white
men of the state were killed by tramps.
This is but days chapter, and it is of
almost daily occurrence that some one is
murdered in this section by one of those
depraved characters. If it is not murder
it is arson, burglary, assault or some
other criminal offense, and it is usually
the case that there is an occasional
lynching, which, everything consi Tered,
is of no credit to the Empire State of
the South.
Now, all this goes to show that the
tramp is bad customer and an unwel-
come visitor to these parts. He has no
personal respect, and treats everybody
as be does himself-proving veritable
marauder or pillager, appropriating
things not own his and begging food
from door to door.
In The face of the existing chaotic con-
dition of things the question naturally
arises: What is the relief? There is but
one way out of the dilemma and that is
to follow the fashion of some of the
Northern and Western states and estab-
fish what are known as Tramp Sta
tions," where the ankle-expressmen are
taken up and given work and enough
food to keep them alive. For instance,
stations or farms are established about
fifty miles apart. On these farms there
is a superintendent who keeps lookout
for tramps, and when he encounters one
of them an arrest follows; he is carried
to camps and is forced to work so many
DAYS, and then he is liberated. He takes
to the road again, and, before he gets
criminally inclined again, he is taken up
by the superintendent of the next farm,
and is again allowed to labor for his
bread. All this is very beneficial
and has very depressing effect upon
the tramp element.
The Herald does not think tLot the
Tramp Farm system will soon be in
troduced in this section, but it does be-
Iieve that such thing would be Of in
calculable good, and hopes TO see other
papers advocate such a measure or
something better.

A DECREASED ACREAGE.
THAT'S WHAT THE ALLIANCE SAYS
ABOUT THE COTTON CROP

OF Terrell County--A Resolution Adopted
Upon the Subiect--OUher Matters A bout
the Meeting Last Thursday.
The quarterly meeting of the County
Alliance was held at Graves Station last
Thurs day, and proved to be an interest
ing and valuable session.
The farmers were out in full force,
every section of the county being repre-
sented.
The Cotton Acreage.
During the morning /: e question OF
the cotton acreage was discussed, and
resulted in the adoption of the following
resolutions:
Whereas, the press of the state are
loud in their assersions that the cotton
acreage is being largely increased, and
Whereas, such statements are having
a wonderful effect towards depressing
the market price of our cotton, and
Whereas, such statements are being
based on account of the increased sale of
guano, and whereas, said increase in the
sale of guano is largely due to the fact
that great many farmers, owing to the
high price of cotton seed, sold their seed
and bought guano to put on their corn,
thereby making the sale of guanO very
large; therefore be it
Resolved, That we, the members of
Terrell County Alliance, in quarterly
session assembled, do hereby ask our
brother alliancemen and farmers gener-
ally throughout the south to join with
us in raising our voices against such
mistaken statements of the press.
Every farmer in the house was request
ed to tell whether his cotton acreage had
been increased or decreased this year.
Thirty-three responded to the request.
Seventeen of these have planted the same
acreage in cotton as last year, and have
increased their crops of corn, peas and
other food crops, while sixteen reported
that they had decreased their cotton
acreage and increased their crops of
grain and other products. Thus, it will
be seen that about fifty per cent. of the
farmers who expressed themselves in
the meeting have decreased their cotton
acreage, and it is probable that the same
per cent. will apply to the farmers Of
the county generally.
A Good Dinner.
At II O'Clock dinner was served on the

Valdosta, April 13.-This city was

Late yesterday afternoon while Mr..
Wisenbaker was at work in field on his
farm, about seven miles from town, he
heard his wife screaming at the house.
He ran to her assistance at once. She
met hlm at the gate and told him that
a tramp had assaulted her in the house
and threatened to kill her if she made
any noise.
Mr.. Wisenbaker seized hoe near by
and entered the house. No sooner had
he done this than the tramp began firing
at him with a pistol. Mr.. Wisenbaker
struck at the tramp several times with
the hoe, but could not hit him. When
the tramp had emptied the contents OF
the pistol without effect he grabbed
Gun in the corner of the house, and, just
az Mr.. Wisenbaker was about to fell

25 SINGLES.
Breach of Promise Case.

The papers in Umatilla county's
first breach Of promise case were
filed Monday evening at the court
house. The case is one of unusual
interest, the defendent being M. M.
Moorehead, the Hotel Pendleton's
popular clerk, who has become
favorably known to everyone here
during his ten years residence.
The plaintiff is Emma Dufey,
waitress who has lived several years
in this city and has passed the age
of experience, being a buxom and
we'll developed damsel. Her com
plant states that on May 10,I 1888,
she was single and unmarried;
on said date in Pendleton the de-
fendent, in consideration that tho
plaintiff would marry him upon
request, promised to marry plain
tiff within a reasonable time after
such date; that the plaintiff, re-
lying upon his promise, remained
unmarried, and is ready and will
ing to marry said defendent, but
that said defendent refuses, al
though often requested to do SO, to
the plaintiffs damage in the sum
| Of $4,000.

Paid in Their Own Coin.

The editor of the Weston Leader
gave tie Athena ball club quite
a write up in his last issue. He
boils over with indignation and
accuses the boys here with not ex-
tending the usual formalities of
hospitality; that the Weston team
went home "superless and weary
though perhaps not as weary
(eyed) as Bowmer was when he
wrote it up-that the Weston club
meet and defeated enemies, not
friends; that the Athena club was
overmatched and that they tried
to win the game by rattling the
Weston club.
Not thinking it exactly the
"proper caper" to take the Leaders
word for it in regard to the hos
pitality clause, the reporter in
terviewed Captain Gilleland, of
the Athena team. He informs us
that in the first game the Weston
boys were the challengers; that
the Athena boys went over there
with the expectation of receiving
the "hospitalities of their town
as a visiting nine;"-that one of
their members-Frank Henry
told him that such courtesy would
be extended to them; that when
the game was over they cheered
for "Helix and one man from
Athena, "and that they never show
ed up with their hospitality"
And as far as 'chewing the rag" is
concerned, most of the members of
both clubs did not indulge, the
most of it being done by Crimmons
of the Weston club and Rush of
the Athena club, and they did it
in friendly way to lift the mo-
notony of the game which was the
dullest played on the Athena
diamond this year.

He Abuses the Minister.

Hugh Mcdonald, better known
as "Scottie" is again in trouble.
He had been doing very we'll Of
late, abstaining from drinking and
working steadily, but could not
stand the pressure and Sunday he
let go all hold and got gloriously
drunk. He went up to the tab
ernacle where Rev. Scoles the Ad-
ventist holds forth, and, standing
in the doorway, he began abusing
Mr.. Scoles, using great deal of
profanity and obscene language.
Marshal Stamper who was there
took Mcdonald in charge and
locked him up in the cooler.
Monday morning DR.. Carlisle
swore out warrant for his ar
rest.
He pleaded guilty to the charge
and Justice Gilman fncd him 5000
or 100 days in the county jail; in
default of the cash he now lang
uisheth. The fellow who is highly
connected. is dangerous man
when under influence Of liquor and
after his sentence is served, should
he come back to Athena, the au-
thorities will be requested to give
him his walking papers.
1t is not q great while since
he struck the 13-year-old son of
L. A. Citizens of this city, and at
another time made an attack upon
Marshal Stamper while under ar
rest. The reporter was shown a
bowie-knife Monday by man who
took it away from "Scottie" who
informed the party that he intend
ed to "do" Stamper with it, a short
time after Mr.. Stamper had ar
rested him the first time.
In the event that this fellow
comes back to Athena again and
the authorities do not make him
move on, there are a number of
good citizens who will take the
matter in their hands, and prom.
trent among the implements that
will be used is a bucket of tar, a
fence rail, and q bag Of feathers.
