SAVE YOUR HOMES.
The Effect Of High Taxes and the
Remedy at Hand.

To THE CITIZEN:-DO the voters o
Giles comfy know that confscatior
is about to oYertake them? LooE
at these facts:
The books IN the office of the
circuit clerk at Pulaski show that
there were 162 tracts of land and
lots sold for taxes for 18S0-8I
They were nearly all the houses of
poor men, mostly colored men, who
could not pay their taxes, and
their homes had to be sold. These
were sold under state tax of &c
cents. If the COG is carried out it
will take a state tax of S24 cents -
nearly three times as much. Where
will the poor mems homes go them
This happened under Hawkins adj
ministration, and now they propose
to elect him again and pile the
taxes on three times as high. A
lot belonging to B. A. J. Nixon,
the chairman of the republican com
mittee, was even sold, and yet they
are going for Hawkins again and
more taxes. VIII the colored men
of Giles county vote to have their
homes cOnfscated? A Russell man
said in Pulaski the other day that
a man who was too poor to pay his
taxes ought to be sold out.
These are facts and you can see
the list at the clerks office. II is
much worse in Maury county. 1
do not wish to appeal to mems Gu
pidity, but these facts ought to be
known and every democrat in Giles
ought to show this to the colored
voters and explain it and tell him
how they propose to treble his
taxes, and let him know that it is
the Hawkins policy that prosposesit.
A mans first duty is to his wife
and children and he ought not to
vote for man or measure that en-
their home.
Carry this paper to the polls and
talk it To them before then and
press it upon them, and get them

his enormous tax. DEMOCRAT.

rus of cheers for Gen. VIM. b. Bate,
our next governor, and to exult in
the coming triumphant victory Of
the entire democratic ticket; and
let there be such au awakening
of the people as that Hawkins and
his followers, his aids and abettors
will meet the defeat their political
sins and follies deserve. Let the
democracy of Giles muster on first

Republican Bossess

1t is said that the ticket having
the names of Capt Perkins and
Maj Matthews upon it was gotten
out by two republicans in Pulaski
without authority and is not en-
dorsed by the party. The regular
ticket will not have these names on
it, we have been reliably informed,
and these gentlemen viii not be
supported by the party. They re
sent this unauthorized act as an
effort of the bosses who are deter
mined to rule and lead the voters by
the nose. Republicans may rely
upon these statements as correct.
Look out for the wrong ticket.

The Wagon Factory.

Mr.. George Devany has not Civ
en- up the attempt 10 locate his
wagon factory in Pulaski. He
clings to this point on account of
the great advantage in timber and
shipping facilities, We have in our
possession a dozen letters from per
sons at different points in Texas,
Tennessee, Ohio and Kentucky or
derng wagons by the car load and
making inquiries. The letters from
Ohio are significant because they
state that the prices compare favor
ably with northern factories. The sc
letters are all of recent date and
demonstrate completely that the
business would be upon a paying
basis at once. We believe the adj
vantages to Pulaski would be i'm
mense and we are sure from what
we have learned that there would be
orders ahead at the start that
would insure success. We are in
formed that the capital necessary
to start the project would not be
very large, and Mr.DeVany's offer to
stake all he has on the issue is an
assurance that there is money to be
made. This is not the controlling
reason with US, however. We want
to see our farmers have the advan-
tage of the low prices and we want
to see our town built up and our
immense timber supply brought is4
to use. If this were started, others
would follow, and we would thus
tap the thousands of dollars that
are hidden in our forests. We
shall keep these letters few days
for those to see who are interested.
