It is indeed quite amusing to think of
the political wire pulling that is now be-
ing so heavily INDUCED in by not few.
Tohn Bidwell, the Prohibition candidate
for President, and James B. Weaver, the
Peoples Party candidate for President,
may both be good men, but don't be.
lieve that either one of them has any more
idea of being elected President Of the
United States than they do of flying,
though they will, I expect, if Harrison is
reelected, get good pay for making the
run, and thought heard somebody
say that Harrison would certainly be re.
elected if they could just get the good
people to dance to Prohibition and Peo-
ples' Party music, but getting the ma
jority of the people to dance to this kind
Of music is going to. puzzle them. They'll
have to get instruments that sound louder
than Bidwell and Weaver. Yes, they will
have to get instruments that shine If
they even get the Southern grasshopper
to dance. BidWell and Weaver. Why,
they would have to pipe and sing from
now till doomsday before they could get
a move on anything. II. I recollect right
the side show candidates for President in
1888 were Neal Dow and James E. Wea-
YER. Dow was blowing Prohibition horn
and James B. Weaver, who is now the
Peoples Party candidate for President,
was playing as hard as he could crack it
on Greenbacker's harp. Then in 1884
the Prohibitionists put forth John P. St

tie fellows 80 bad that they will never
think about running again as long as their
names are Harrison, Bidwell and Weaver.
Hurrah for Cleveland and Democracy !!
Prohibition don't have no effect at all on
on our people. They can see into it, and
have found out that it is nothing else in
the world but an entering wedge to burst
the rack of freedom into atoms. IF we
give away what freedom we have got and
give reckless set of people power to tell
us what we shall drink, by and by they
will be telling us what we shall cal, and
then it won't be long until they will say
whom we shall worship. Prohibition
won't do at all, and the people have not
found it out a bit too soon. Those that
want to be slaves or servants and havn't
got the brass about them to votp straight
out for Harrison will vote for Bidwoll or
Beaver one.
Will B. r. Tillman be South Cardinals
next Governor? Don't hardly think he
will. Think John G. Sheppard will be the
next Governor.
Well, Mr.. Editor, we are about ali done
laying ty our crops. We have had sever
al days of sunshine, which was great
help to Us in demolishing that grass that
T told you about last week. This hot
weather has caused cotton to stretch up
right sharply; probably it may make
full crop yet.
Prot. b. Edward King resumed his
school at Mountain Springs on Monday
last.
The watermelon crop came very near
being failure in this section. Our patch
is not doing any good at all,
Candidates, candidates. never heard
of as many candidates in all my life. I'll
bet nicket that they don't all get elect
