Bankhead BLOOD AND MUSKETS BANG 1 – The Wheel Editor Declares for “Justice or War” The following blood and thunder editorial appeared in the Alabama State Wheel, the acknowledged champion of the Wheel organization in this state: “Stand up to the Labor Party. Our blows are being felt all over the land. Keep your mind on God and your family. We must have our rights; if monopoly refuses to give through the ballot box, then we should knock at their door with muskets in hands and take what God intended for every man, equal rights and privileges. We have suffered at the ands of monopoly long enough. We demand equal rights and privileges and if we can’t get them in peace, then we will take them through blood u to the bridle bits. We love peace, but not at the sacrifice of our rights and privileges. Either justice or war; take your choice.” Oh, ye would be preservers of this glorious Union, can you see any politics in the above? Do you not see that it is bristling all over with communism, disloyalty and anarchy? -------- Can you look a fellow mortal in the face and tell him that the above declarations are true sentiments of the Wheel, expressed through the beloved organ of “our noble order?’ Will any decent organization submit to such gross misrepresentations as the State Wheel makes if the purpose of such organization is not to incite to riot, and rob one class of people to replenish the pockets of others? We think not. The state Wheel is the same paper that declared “agrarian” to be a synonym for justice. It was the Wheel that said; “A division of the land today among the people, giving each one just as much as he could successfully cultivate, would make the land lords poor but would not make the poor rich.” Yes, the Wheel made the above named declarations in 1887, in an editorial in which it indorsed the war-like speech of the loud mouthed foreign Anarchist, Herr Most, of Chicago. Either directly before or after endorsing the speech, the Wheel editor said: “If we do not write true wheelerism, discharge us.” Was he discharged? We answer that he was not. If we understand the Wheel editor correctly he would plunge the country into the vortex of war, and have the laboring man wade ‘through blood up to the bridle bits’ to secure what the already has on free American soil – equal rights and privileges. Ours is, indeed, a very free country, and at times we are almost led to think that it is too free, as regards free speech, etc. There are countries where such sentiments as those expressed by the Wheel editor would subject the author to arraignment on a charge of inciting to riot. The Austrian government will not renew the anti-Anarchist laws, and henceforth proposes to wage war upon the Anarchists through the medium of administrative decrees. CULTURED GIRLS “For a little mining town, Warrior is hard to get by on her criminal record. She can now claim two murders and one lynching inside of two weeks. – [Marion Herald] “The Herald seems ignorant of the fact that Warrior is the second town in size and importance in Jefferson County. We presume however, that its information was obtained through the Birmingham Age which paper seems to have a petty spite against “the little mining town of Warrior.” – [Warrior Index] We own up, Bro. Index, and acknowledge that we were wrong in not referring to Warrior as the live, booming and progressive mining city of Jefferson County. But the Index is in error when it “presumes” that we obtain our information through the age. When we want to know that FRANK JAMES is in Texas we look over the Age, and read a long article from some Age reporter who interviewed him in the Magic City a few hours before. Or when we want to make sure that President Cleveland and the Democratic Party are both doing well, we refer to the age and read an editorial stating that defeat, swift and sure will overtake the whole concern at the next crossing. Yes, Warrior is quite a flourishing young city, and growing continuously, while the Age is – a- a- big newspaper. There will be six presidential tickets in the field this year. GREAT CAMPAIGN OFFER The Weekly Courier Journal has now the largest circulation o any Democratic newspaper in the United states and its publishers to further extend its circulation, offer to send it postage prepaid from June 1888 to December 1888 – thirty-one issues – for only fifty cents………………….. Some of the Southern States are thoroughly aroused on the subject of immigration. The immigration convention which met in Jackson, Miss. last week did some earnest work. One of the members of the convention, who was a Northern man, but now a resident of the state, said that when the attraction of a Southern state like Mississippi became known at the North, there would be such an influx of settlers from that part of the country that the home people might be thankful if they were not crowded out. Alabama should be no less attractive to the Northern emigrant than Mississippi. It has a soil and climate not suppressed by that of any other state in the Union, and best of all it is developing its resources as no other state in the Southern country is doing, and is thus, year by year, adding to the demand of the farm products of its own people, - [Birm. Age] “Oh, what a tangled web we weave, When first we practice to deceive.” Honest men have been deceived by the smooth surface of the Wheel, and will hardly be ready to forsake their homes and families to follow the fortunes of the wheel editor and his gallant colleagues through the horrors of war in search of office and plunder. The “Old Reliable” Montgomery Advertiser pays this compliment to our worthy congressman: “It was the most natural thing in the world for the Democrats to re- nominate Bankhead for Congress. He had earned it, and he votes with his party.” The Courier tells us that the last Commissioner’s Court of Lamar County changed the boundary liens between Pine Springs and Millville bets, adding four sections that were in Millville beat to Pine Springs beat. Can a farmer hold on to the tail of an organization that will hurrah for a labor party especially when the published declarations of such party are so at variance from the farmer’s best interests? Remember the Wheel is hurrahing for the Labor Party it his state. Our next Legislature should see to it that liberal appropriations are made to establish an Immigration Bureau for this state, and if it fails to do so we think a mistake will be made which will involve the interests of all Alabamians. With the proper action on the part of the state there is not reason why Alabama cannot move than double her present population in the next decade. West Virginia is being stirred from conter to circumference by the prohibition question. Prohibition towns over in Georgia are handling an intoxicating beverage called “rice beer.” Franklin County’s Labor party is in the hands of two competent men. One is a doctor and the other a lawyer, and we suppose both are Republicans of the first water. The Falls Manufacturing Company contemplates adding a large lot of machinery to their yarn factory on Bear Creek, Marion County, among which will be a goodly number of looms for the manufacturer of cloth. – [Anniston Hot Blast] ----------------- CLARK, WHITE & CO., Dealers in dry goods, notions, ladies dress goods, clothing, hats, caps, boots and shoes. A full and complete line of Family Groceries kept in stock, together with different brands of flour, which we buy under Special Contract directly from the Mills at such prices as to enable us to compete with any house in the south, as to prices and grades.

I have in stock many articles not enumerated in the above, and all will be sold at prices to suit the times.

CAMP, Dealer in Dry Goods, groceries, clothing, Queensware, Drugs, Medicines, Notions. I buy for Cash, sell only cash, have but one price and that is the Very Lowest.

Come out to church tonight. The water melon crop is pronounced a good one. Hamilton’s school closed on last Friday for a month’s vacation. Miss KATIE and ITTIE FRAZIER returned to their home at Pikeville on Saturday last. Remember that “Cleanliness is next to Godliness” Keep you back yard clean and guard against disease. Mr. JOHN ARNOLD gave our sanctum a short call on last Saturday and renewed his subscription to the Herald. W. H. KEY, Esq. returned from Georgia, where he has been visiting relatives and friends for the past month on last week. The long warm days are here and with them comes the straw hat and Mother Hubbard, which can be worn with a good deal of comfort. Messrs. MOSES FLIPPO and S. S. BAILEY, two substantial farmers of near Pearce’s Mills, called to see us last week, and before leaving subscribed for the Herald. Mr. SAM HENSON, of Lamar County was in town on Monday last. He is a candidate for the office of sheriff in his county, and thinks he will make it quite hot for the boys. The outlook for a good crop is now quite favorable. Farmers are well up with their work, and if seasons only hold out a short while longer the early corn will be safe. Our friend, Mr. R. N. TERRELL returned home on last week from Atlanta, Ga. where he has been attending a commercial school. His many friends in Hamilton are glad to have him again in their midst. Mr. ALEX RYE has the champion four year old yoke of oxen. On last week they drew a wagon contain 1900 pounds of freight, from Guin a distance of sixteen miles, and Mr. RYE thinks he could have brought much more. Mr. W. T. GAST has purchased the photographer’s outfit belonging to Mr. PLUMMER WILLIAMS, and is now installed on the second floor of the Herald building where he will be pleased to see all who may wish any work in his line. Mr. HARDIN of Ky. was in town the first part of the week for the purpose of letting the contract for carrying the mail between Hamilton and Guin. Mr. CALVIN WEATHERLY was the lucky man, and after July 1st we will enjoy the luxury of a daily mail. The Commencement exercises of the State Normal College in Florence came off on last week, and we learn, were largely attended. Rev. Dr. Hawthorne, of Atlanta, Ga. delivered the annual literary address. This flourishing school is constantly growing under the management of Prof. MITCHELL and we wish for it a prosperous future. It has been rumored the Mr. JESSE ARNOLD of Bexar is responsible for he articles written from that place, and signed “A Wheeler’ which have appeared in the Herald. We would say that such report is untrue and without foundation. We make this statement in justice to Mr. ARNOLD and that no petty spite may be had toward an innocent party. DARLINGTON, ALA., June 1st, 1888 Editor Herald; If you will allow me space in your columns, will give you a few dots in regard to our State Normal College. Last Wednesday closed the 15th annual session of this school. Ach day seemed to add to the interest of the exercises and visitors could scarcely obtain standing room. On Sunday at 11 a.m. Rev. W. H.S MITH, of Huntsville, delivered the Commencement sermon. The sermon was well adopted to the time and place, and I might say, one of the best ever delivered within the walls of the S. N. C.

The College this year sends out 25 graduates to teach in our public schools. This is an institution of which any state might be proud and her Faculty should receive the commendation and hearty support of every true citizen of Alabama. AN EYE WITNESS The Lawrence County Wheel assembled at Oklona Church and passed a resolution condemning the expressions of the Wheel editor, in his warlike article, published elsewhere in this week’s Herald. This called forth a miserable attempt at explanation from the Wheel editor, which is in effect that the article applied “solely to the political faction of the organization.” This causes the Montgomery Dispatch to rise up and say that “it is now in order for the editor of the Wheel to explain his explanation.” Indeed the “youngest editor in Alabama’ as he styles himself, seems to be in a bad way just now. The leading journals of the state are waking up, and wanting an “explanation” not only do they want it but they are going to have it. The Prohibition Convention assembled at Indianapolis on May 31 Gen. Clinton B. Fisk of New York was nominated for president and John a. brooks was given second place on the ticket by acclamation. DO FIGURES LIE – (math problem) County lines are attracting much attention, and many more than usual will beheld this fall. farmers ware working up pet crops for the prizes, and are also looking after their stock in a way to show that in a few years Alabama will buy nothing from the stock raisers and ht corn and meat growers of the West. After the county fairs will come the State Fair every county should have large exhibits of its resources there. Thousands of excursionists from all over the North and West will be here, and thee exhibits will influence them as to the places in which they may locate. There is not a county in Alabama that does not possess many advantages for a home, and the best way in the world to let intending settlers know these facts is to have a big exhibit of the products and the stock of every county at the state fair – [Montgomery advertiser] Atlanta has tired Prohibition, she has tried high license, low license, and still is not happy. She is just waxing warm for another prohibition campaign. As long as the people of Atlanta listen to cranks like Sam Small and other of his life, dissatisfaction and petty bickering will reign supreme in the Gate City – [Ex] A mortgage for ten million five hundred thousand dollars was filed for record in the Probate Office, Choctaw County on last Thursday. It is given by the M. and O. Railroad Company to the Farmer’s Loan and Trust company of New York. It is to be recorded in thirty-two counties. Charleston, S. c., May 31 – Near Wellford, Spartanburg County today, Mrs. Lewis Wingo, while sitting near the fire her two children being in the room, was killed by lightning, he children not being hurt. After thoroughly investigating the charges preferred against Judge Bond, the directors of the Decatur Land and Improvement Company have declared him innocent. More than 6000 persons witnessed the laying of the cornerstone of the Confederate Monument at Jackson, Miss. on the 25th inst. Guin, Ala., June 5th, 1888 Editor Herald: More than likely you don’t know there is such a place as Guin in the county, nevertheless there is and it’s a live business place too. There are several hundred inhabitant s here, more or less, consisting principally of business men and loafers. Six business houses completed and lumber and the ground for another. Several new dwellings just completed and prospects very good for more. Capt. A. L. WHITE was in town last week, and I guess he wanted some of the boys, judging from the way they strung out on foot with their coats on their shoulders to Hamilton. They were only wanted for witnesses however, as we never violate the revenue law here. Messrs. R. N. TERRELL and W. H. KEY passed through town last week on their way home from Atlanta, Ga. As I haven’t gotten acquainted with you yet, I guess I’d better not write any more. If this escapes the waste basket I’ll probably write again. E. M. R. Secretary Vilas has rendered a decision which in effect is that the Woodstock Iron Company of Anniston, Ala. is an illegal possessor of the unoffered public lands which it holds by purchase, and directs that all unpatented entries be cancelled. The Democratic National Convention met in St. Louis on 5th inst and we suppose nominated Grover Cleveland by acclamation. The press dispatches report Gen. Sheridan as being in a very critical condition, and state that his chances of recovery are very doubtful.
