The following extract from the Franklin News is the essence f hard firm sense boiled down, and deserves a reading at the hands of all our citizens, both to those who are members of the Agricultural Wheel and those who are not. In speaking of the Wheel as a political mirage, he says: “We entreat our good Wheeler friends not to take umbrage at what we have to say to them in this issue. We speak to them with the freedom due to a political brotherhood of long standing and with a hearty sympathy in the great wrongs they and the laboring classes endure. But we are forced to differ from them in the methods they propose to use for redress. The co-operation of farmers, on proper principles might achieve great good. But it is now too plain for cavil; that the originators and manipulators of the “Wheel” had their own aggrandizement much more at heart, than the championship of the farmers rights. They are using the simple hearted farmers as ladders, upon which they expect to climb to honor and distinction. Good friends, you will never achieve your ends at the hands of leaders, who so grossly deceived you as to the objects of the Wheel at the beginning. Deception will lure you on and still further on until at the wind up, you will feel like the boy who has vainly sought a sack of gold at the end of the rainbow. Or feel like the thirsty and famished traveler in a great dessert who is constantly decrying looming up in the far distance, the illusory mirage of fresh springs and gurgling founts of water, but alas! When he reaches the much coveted point, he finds nothing but gloomy wastes and arid sands. So your hopes are placed on the potency of the Wheel, but disappointments oft repeated will leave you in despair, but still gazing on the beautiful mirage of hollow political promise, that will still beacon you on, but the more to deceive and betray.” The month of July was a scorcher but notwithstanding all this, the public debt was reduced six millions of dollars during the month. And still we hear men yelling and wanting to know what a Democratic administration has ever done for them. Work on the Piedmont Fair buildings at Atlanta is progressing rapidly and everything will be ready for October 1st. The buildings will cover about 200,000 square feet. Editor Grady has again gone North and the Dispatch man in speaking of his visit says: “Le us hope not to again perform the toady act.” The prompt action taken by the good citizens of Montgomery in regard to the negro editor Duke and his insulting article go far toward proving that the noble sons of Montgomery are not so far engrossed in money getting and promoting private ends as to grow indifferent to the welfare of their families, wives, mothers and sisters…………. All the necessary arrangements have been completed for the building of the Chattanooga, Rome & Columbus Railway and the work will now be rapidly pushed to completion. LOYD GETS THERE – Nothing but Politics He Says – Control of the Government in Three Years, and etc…. Bull Mountain, Ala. August 16th 1887 Editor Marion Herald: Sir, in your last issue I find a letter written by one H C. HARRIS, pretending to be a reply to a letter that I had written some time ago. I hoped to have elicited a reply from some Wheeler that knew something about the organization, and that would have set forth some of the many good things that they propos bringing about, and the means by which they expect to bring them about. But alas! How I was mistaken. H. C. Pitches into me as though I had attacked one of the most sacred institutions of all the land, and of which he was the acknowledged head. And that I had done so in a rough, insulting and ungentlemanly manner. In this, I think he is much mistaken. But as he has carried me pretty roughly, I hope he will not complain under similar treatment. He goes at me like an adder in dog-days – blind, striking hither and thither thinking he may surely strike me after awhile, but he missed clear every strike. H C. says that I am ignorant of wheeler principles, I may be ignorant of some of their tricks and principles but I certainly know something about a few of their schemes. One of them is that they were so eager to have a finger in the political pie in Arkansas last year that they took the lead in calling a state convention and nominating state officers. Does this look like “no politics?” And then because their nominations were not accepted by the Republicans, the greater part of them withdrew. But finally agreed with the Republicans on a ticket and voted together in opposition to the Democratic Party. Now, H. C., this is practical Democracy with a vengeance. Isn’t it though. The Wheelers in this section don’t deny its being a political organization, and here is where it first made its appearance in the county and I have kept an open eye on it all the while. I read the Ft. Smith Elevator last year which did not seem to oppose them but stated facts about them as they came up. I have also read the Arkansas State Wheel paper. I ought to know a few things about the organization whether I do or not. You say that your constitution has nothing “political” about it. Of course it hasn’t. It is fixed up on purpose to deceive – consequently it is recognized politics that would keep people from joining. We already have two political parties and that is enough. I have heard several lectures on Wheelerism, and a great deal of Wheeler talk, and I find a great deal of the doctrine they teach is in opposition to the laws of the land. What! We, a disloyal organization? Yes! Now this is the channel though which all insurrections and troubles come up in government. As to the Wheelers of this district voting for SANFORD in preference to ALLMON. Was it because SANFORD was a better democrat than ALLMON? No, it was local prejudice. But now I remember that SANFORD while on the canvass was accused of once voting the Republican ticket, and that is why your true, tried Democratic Wheelers voted for him. Well, since you have referred to SANFORD – ALLMON, how about BULLOCK and CLARK. Was not BULLOCK the Democratic nominee in Franklin county last year? And did the Wheelers not support CLARK who is an acknowledge Republican in preference to BULLOCK? And still a great many of you have the cheek to look a man in the face and tell him “there is no politics in the wheel.” Now there is just as much sense in telling a man that there is no nose on his face as there is in telling him there is nothing “political” in Wheelerism. I refer you to what some of your papers say about it. The Iowa Triune says: “The Union Labor victories in Ohio and Kentucky are alarming the President makers and where this insane movement will end, they cannot guess. But we will tell them. It will end in the White House.” And again, another speaks on the subject: the Great Alabama Sentinel. He says: “The farmers of Indiana are going in for a thorough organization of the Farmer’s Alliance for the purpose of combining their resistance to the monopolists in the selection of Representatives in the state Legislature. A cordial feeling exists between the Knights of Labor and the farmers all through the Western States.” The Grange organization was once about the best farmers organization that we have any account of, and it had the least to do with politics. Well, about three or four years ago two brother-in-law of mine, one of them Secretary of a flourishing Grange between this place and Aberdeen, the other did not belong to the order. The granger carried his cotton to Aberdeen to the granger yard and from thence to the Grange store, did his trading and returned home, thinking what a great thing the grange was. In a few days the other one carried his cotton to Aberdeen and came back the grangers’ home to stay all night. They began inquiring of each other as to the price paid for certain articles. Says the granger to the other one, “Why, you did not get them that way did you?” “Yes,” replied the other. “I did, and here is my bill.” So they compared bills and that granger had been swindled in every article he purchased. That granger never went back to the grange anymore, and that grange was soon a thing of the past. I went to a little Wheeler march the other day, and bless your life! It is amusing to hear them talk about how they are going to get things. They say they are going to buy the best of flour at from two to three dollars a barrel, domestics at three cents per yard, and other things in proportion. Now this has a close resemblance to the forty acres of land and a mule that the negroes were going to get soon after the war for voting the Republican ticket. The Wheelers will come about as near realizing these fancied prices as the negro did his forty acres and mule. It has been said that straws show which way the wind blows. So what the Wheelers say outside their lodge show what they teach inside. Here is some of their expressions that we call your attention to, “You ha just as well join now, for the time is near at hand when you will be made to join.” And again, they say: “The time will come when we will all be on an equality, and have control of the government in three years if we have to get it at the breech of the musket.” Now sir, what does such expressions as these mean if they don’t mean Anarchy, Communism and disloyalty? What good can we expect to arise out of such a corruptible organization as this? Now I see the Wheelers, Farmer’s Alliance and the Knight’s of Labor are all trying to unite. How do you think it would suit a farmer to employ a hand and then could not work him more than ten hours a day, no matter how great the push might be in working over his crop? Here is another section in their code that will bring about trouble. It is a war against monopolists and capitalists. Some of you leaders may know who a capitalist is, but here is neither of them in this country But there are a great many Wheelers who are under the impression that a man who has more property than he has owns more than he ought to have, and will make him an object of hate. My opinion is that the whole concern is run in the interest of the Republican Party, backed up by Republican politicians who push it foreword all in their power, knowing as they well do, that unless some plan can be set on foot by which to break the solid South, they can never elect another president. And they also know that if the bait is not suitable to the fish, the fish will not bite. I am surprised to see so many big fish biting, not very large either, but big among “minners.” Now, Mr. H. C. you never attempted to answer the first question I asked, and that was, why you Wheelers had such fine, high toned Republican proclivities. You answered my entire letter by a collection of broad assertions as void of reason and judgment as they were of argument. But then I suppose it was the best that could be expected from a man who claims to be acting in the double geared harness of the Wheel and Democracy, and consequently had nothing upon which to base your argument. I. J. LOYD, H. C.’S lunatic IMPORTANT CIRCULAR State of Alabama, Revenue Department Montgomery, August 10, 1887 To Solicitors: Information has reached this office that some “itinerant dealers in fruit trees, vines, shrubs, or plants of any kind” are doing business in this state without first having taken out and paid for license to do such business as required by subdivision----- the same be said of sewing machine companies doing business in some of the counties without having taken out and paid for license, as required by subdivision 20----. The law requires itinerant dealers in fruit trees, etc. And also sewing machines companies whether doing business themselves or by agents, to take out and pay for state license in each county in which they do business. Your attention is respectfully called to his matter and if you find that any such dealers or companies or their agents are doing business in any county in this state without having first taken out and paid for a state license to do business in such county, you should institute against such dealers or companies and legal proceedings as my be by law authorized or directed. Very respectfully M C. BURKE, Auditor HARDLY EVER Ad for Simmons Liver Regulator THE FARMER’S ALLIANCE – [Chattanooga Commercial] ------------ THE SOCIALIST – [New York Commercial Advertiser] VINCENT SENTENCED Vincent, the defaulting ex-treasurer has been found guilty of embezzling the funds of the state in two cases, for which he has been sentenced to the penitentiary for five years in each case. This makes ten years in all. When the sentence was passed his counsel never gave any notice of an appeal, so it is not known whether they intend taking an appeal to the Supreme Court or not. The new order which is gaining some foothold in Alabama called “The Wheel” is unfortunate in some of the editorials appearing in a paper called the Alabama State Wheel and purporting to be the organ of the order. In it s issue of July 15, it said: “The division of the land today among the people, giving each one just as much as he could profitably cultivate, would make the landlords poor but would not make the poor rich. The thieves had better look around for some other name to call the wealth producers. Agrarian is a synonym for justice, and will become the great battle cry of freedom.” If such sentiments animate the rank and file of the order it will be short lived in Alabama. We call the attention of the farmers of the state to the above declarations – [Montgomery Advertiser] PAGE 2 THE MARION HERALD Published Every Thursday Hamilton, Alabama A MYSTERY – (poem) “A DARLING” – The Beauty that made Her Sweet and Good TALMAGE’S SERMON – The Beautiful Story of the Stilling of the Tempest A SHOP GIRL’S HOTEL–How Three Plucky Working-Women Established a Creditable Enterprise PAGE 3 CARE OF HORSES FEET – The Complicated and Peculiar Structure of the Equine Hoof UPS AND DOWNS IN WALL STREET HOW A MISER SAVES BUTTER TO AVOID FUTURE INCONVENIENCE Ad for Hood’s Sarsaparilla Ad for Pacific Liver Pills Small advertisements PAGE 4 THE MARION HERALD – Published Every Thursday by the Herald Publishing Co.

CLARK is off to Aberdeen this week to look after his new buggy. Born to Mr. and Mrs. B. R. FITE on last week – a fine boy. There is a great deal of sickness in various portions of the county. We were pleased to meet a number of our friends at Hall’s mill on last Sunday. Messrs J. L. WHITE and W. H. KEY paid Bexar a visit on last Sunday. You may call it a chestnut if you wish, but the melon-colic days are here. Our friend Mr. I. C. ELLIS of Pearce’s Mills gave us a pleasant call on Monday last. Mr. H. MORGON of Allen’s factory gave the Herald a call while in town on last Monday. Mr. J. L. WHITE made a hurried business strip to Caudle the first of the week. August seems determined on giving July a closely contested race for the championship. It would be dull times in this world if everybody could see alike and be made to agree on all things. Squire KEY made a business trip to Pikeville the first of the week. Mrs. M. J. MORTON of Lawrence County, sister of our worthy Probate Judge is visiting relatives in town this week. Cotton is beginning to open in some parts of the county and our farmers will soon be engaged in picking the fleecy staple. T. M. SAUNDERS, formerly of this county, but who now lives near Shannon, Miss. was in town on last Tuesday and gave the Herald a call. Mr. W. J. B. MATTHEWS after spending near two months with relatives and friends in the grand old county of Lawrence, returned to this place on Saturday last. We are pained to announce the death of Mrs. ELISA POPE, which sad event took place about four miles south of town on last Sunday morning. The bereaved family have our hearty condolence. Messrs. A. J. STANFORD, REUBEN WILLETT, W. R. WHITE, A. J. HAMILTON, and J. T. WHITE, all attended the reunion of Company K 16th Regiment Alabama volunteers held at OGDEN’S MILL in Lamar Co. on last Saturday. About twenty-three members of the company were present. All the surviving members of Company G were invited but only about eight of them attended. Several of our town people, the writer being one of the number visited Hall’s Mill on last Sunday in witness the baptizing of Col. K. T. BROWN. About 10 a.m. in the presence of a large assembly the Col. was led into the water and the sacred rite performed by the Rev. MARKHAM, after which the crowd repaired to the church near by and listed to an excellent sermon delivered by the Rev. GREEN. The congregation though large, was appreciative, and a more orderly and well behaved one, we have never seen. HACKELBURG, ALA. August 20th 1887 Editor Herald: A few items this week. The farmers are now pulling fodder. We are needing rain in this section on potatoes, turnips, and late corn. Rev. J. M. COLEMAN preached the funeral sermon of Mrs. RILEY BREWER on last Sabbath at Fairview church, and many sad hearts were made to rejoice in the hope of the home beyond. A number of our town people started this morning for Allhill to attend a protracted meeting near that place. The Campbellites held a protracted meeting at New Prospect church on last week, conducted by the Revs. WEAVER and PUTTMAN. Hackleburg has no merchant yet. Wonder if some one will not take pity on us and set up here in the fall just to show the people how much goods they can buy for a small sum of money. Well, we think I. J. L. received as much as he gave. GLEANER. A CITIZEN TALKS There are a great many different opinions among our citizens, as to the intention of the National Agricultural Wheel that is now sweeping through our country. Some think that it was organized by laboring people solely in their own interest, and that there is no such thing as politics connected with it. The constitution plainly says that it is not a political order and its leaders have claimed that it was not a political order, but a means by which to organize the Farmers in their own general interest. And by this means they have succeed, in luring a great many of our good citizens into the Wheel., thinking it might help to improve the farming interest, and be the means of building up their grand old County. But alas! in this they have been most outrageously deceived, for they have already lifted the veil, and revealed their hidden intention, which proves that it was organized and backed up by scheming politicians who purpose to build themselves up on the ruins of the laboring masses. Thinking that they have a sufficient hold on the people, they are now very bold in stating through their organs that it is a political organization. And are endeavoring to unite their force with those of the Nights of Labor and purpose making a grand effort in the Presidential election of 1888. Now fellow citizens, this is organizing to advance your interest with a vim, isn’t it? Although we hear some say that “if it’s not a political organization it will never benefit the country.’ Now in this we beg leave to differ, as we cannot see in what way it would ever benefit our farmers to join a new party, as we have two political parties, and we think this is partyism enough. We hear a great deal said about “office seekers.” And we will admit that we have a great many such characters and in fact there are two many of our citizens seeking office or tying to find an easy place in which to make a living. Now we will ask our Wheeler friends if that organization, even in this county, is free from such characters? Indeed it is not; for as you all well know, the men who are taking the most interest in building up the order, and trying hard to advance the cause, are nothing more nor les than office seekers, and if they could only make the Wheel a hobby-horse, upon which to ride into office, they would not follow the occupation of farming another day. We occasionally hear men howling around about the laws of our country and how they oppress the laboring people and want a return to the good old days of 40 years ago & etc. Now we have often heard good old citizens of this county, tell of days past 40 & 50 years back which gives us an idea of the condition of this country at that date, and we have heard nothing that should induce this generation to want a return of those days, “except free whisky,” which they do not need Now fellow citizens, I suggest that we as citizens, endeavor to have our laws enforced, rather than have then changes, and if we will do this, the time is in the near future when this will be a grand and noble old county. Hoping that I will not incur any displeasure from my friends by this article, I remain ever ready to endorse and support any organization that tends to the advancement of our country, and our people. But we cannot remain silent and see the good citizens deceived and dragged around by a band of political demagogues who would sacrifice their rights and freedom for an easy run to office. We remain as ever a true friend to the farmers of old Marion but cannot endorse an organization that is only trying to deceive them instead of working for their interest.
