not be well to include in the consignment
five baribu beads and red flannel string?
This would impart ain air of native innO-
cence to the matter.
This might go far toward convincing
COlf Cockerill, but The Constitution
would still be in doubt. AS matters stand
he does not believe that negroes are per-
mitted to vote in the south, and we know,
on the authority of the northern negroes
themselves that they are not permitted
to work side by side with white men In
any trade or profession. The hostlers,
cOachmen and Whitewashers may be
chummy enough, but are the negroes per-
mitted to earn their living according to
their capacity and desires?
So far as the voting of the negroes in
the south is concerned, it is to be feared
that Colonel Cockerill, fresh and enthu
siastic as he is, will have to train them
how to do it. Gartield's was the last
republican name that struck on the ne
gro's political ear, and even that name
created no stir. The blacks would walk
twenty miles and sit up all night to vote
for Grant; he represented something; his
name was coupled with that of Lincoln
In q measure Garfield attracted their at
tentiOn, but when Grant was no longer
a candidate their interest in voting died
out
1t is not necessary to intimidate voters
who do not go to the polls, and who do
not know when election day comes. Col
Onel Cockerill ought to see to it that some
of the orators Of his party are hippodrom-
ed through this interesting section in Or
der that the negroes may be aroused from
their apathy. Not one in u thousand
would go out to hear the orators but the
movement would be n guarantee of good
faith 1t would show that the republicans
had not abandoned their alleged voters
to the kl-kIuX and the bulldozerS.
Meanwhile, Colonel COckerill might
spend pleasant hall hour in giving us
the true inWardnesS of the negro Stua-
ton at the north.

eminent to supply an elastic currency or
to increase the volume of it to- any great
extent The government can only pay
out money for service rendered or apprO-
pirate it in furtherance Of various
schemes. 1t can fill the treasury with
surplus by means of excessive taxation,
and it can squander that surplus by eX-
travagance. We have just seen the bill
liOn-dOllar congress go through this per-
Torrance. The surplus in which the
democrats saw great danger was polite
ly squandered by the Tom Reed free
hooters, and there is not an individual i'll
the country engaged in any honest pursuit
who can say that he has been benefited
by this apparent addition to the volume of
currency. The government can collect
money and pay 1t out, and that is an end
of the matter. 1t can print notes, but it
cannot give them away. Its debts and it's
expenditures mark it's limitations.
Nor can the national banks add any
thing to the currency. They cannot in
crease its volume or make it responsive
to the demands of business. For every
dollar issued dollar is locked up, and
between the active Spectator and the
inactive banker the people are whip-saw-
ed;hey catch trouble a-goin' and a-comin.
If it be asked what advantage state
banking system would have, the answer
is clear. State and municipal bonds could
be made the basis of circulation and the
interest on these would be paid at home.
Atlanta has recently placed block of
bonds in New York, and the interest that
is paid on them win go out of this com
munity never to return. Ii these bonds
could have been utilized as security for
state banks the interest would have been
paid here, and our own people would have
got the benefit of it.
AS in Atlanta so in other communities.
Every interest would be benefited, every
enterprise helped. IN addition to this
the people would have Il sufficient supply
of currency, sensitive, flexible and secure.
We propose to hammer away at this
matter all summer and far into the com
ing spring. Wall street is powerful and
active, but we have no doubt the people
will make trouble for Wall street in the
course of the next few years.

ECHOE.S FROM THE PEOPLE.
Mr.. Cox Denies,

Miners Store, Ga, July II, 1892.-EditoT
Constitution: My attention having been called
10 an article in your issue Of today, copied
from The Jonesporo Enterprise porportlng TO
give substantially what I said In speech an
a little neighborhood gathering last April,
respectfully ask space in your columns to sea
my self right In the matter.
The language quoted from the jones'
boro paper was never uttered by me, neither
have L entertained such sentiments as were
expressed in said quotation, nor do L know
of any peoples party men who claim such
sentiments.
herewith denounce the statement copied
by your paper as UNANIMOUSLY and maliclouslY
false and can establish this fact by every
truthful man who was present on thar oc-
casion. l am poor man but desire nothing
but what Is due and what I have honestly
earned, and it is strange to me that some mali
cious person should at this late day offer thus
to SANDER me. Very respectfully yours,

A Deserved Compliment.

The peoples party did the right thing
when 1t nominated the Hon. William l..
Peek for governor.
Colonel Peek is a self-made man rep
resenting the best class of the progressive
farmers of Georgia, and his public and
private record is spOtleSS.
The other nominations are also highly
creditable TO the new party. In fact,
there is no lack of good men all along the
line.
The platform is in the main the one
adopted at Omaha.
Our views concerning this platform
have been expressed many times i'll these
columns. II the farmers of Georgia win
place it side by side with the democratic
platform and study the two IN the light Of
experience we do not think that many. of
them will vote with the ;eople'S rarty.
Colonel Peek and his associate standard
bearers are too good for their platform.
How men of their strong common serse
and practical methods can be Wiling to
stand Oh a platform 50 visionary, extreme
and impracticable is mystery.
But the erring brethren WI Lave their
way-let them go In peace!

Better Times Ahead.

It is admitted by all competent author
tiles that the reduction of our cotton
acreage this year is at least II per cent,
making no allowance for the reduction
made by the floods and other natural
causes.
But how will prices rule Nobody can
answer this question, and prediction Is
worthless 1t is certain, however, that
the economy of our farmers, with their
attention to food products will enable
them even if cotton brings low prices to
be more comfortable and independent
than they have been in the past two
years If they have Il large crop they VIII
be able to afford to sell it Tor IL 10"
price. A long and bitter experience has
made them see the benefit Of the policy
pursued by the Northwestern farmers who
do not depend upon one crop alone but
pay as much attention to raising hogs
and corn as they do to the wheat crop
Upon the whole, the fall md winter
outlook for our farmers Is cheering, and
our cities would do well to profit by the
example of the country in the matter OF
diversfying their interests. This is the
weak point with the average southern
city. 1t secures number of railroads,
builds numerous fine stOrehouses, and con-
siders itself equipped for "a prosperous
career 1t is q big mistake. our GILES
must encourage and build up mills and
factories. These great industries give en-
ployment to a host of consumers who
swell the population and Increase the de-
mand for the products of the farmers.
The country people want more and better
markets, but they will never nave them
until the cities and towns become sGlre-
thing more than small colonies of stores
and banks.
With our natural resources, raw mate
rial and distributing facilities there are
many reasons why Atlanta and several
other southern cities should come TO the
front as manufacturing centels. The
cause Of their slow development ir this
respect is due not to an unfrirndly but to
an iniudicious municipal policy. We have
got the taxing craze If Il new i7dnstry
or business bobs up, tax it, If an enter
prsing man starts out in q new enterprise,
call a meeting of the council and impose
a special tax to fit the case
We have been going along in this way
for some time and it does not pan cut.
Is it not time to revise our policy?
We have shown that the farmers are
about to enjoy better times because they
have diversified their products The same
rule will work we'll with the cities. Let
them diversity their industries. And let
them encourage such a diversified zion, by
proceeding very cautiously in the matter
of taxation.

How to Mend a KID Glove.

If special glove thread is not used, fine
cotton thread is better than silk for mend
ing rips i'm gloves, because there is less con-
trast between it and the kid. If glove Is
to be darned, either silk or the glove thread
should be used; for darn on kid glove,
however well done, cannot be concealed,
and the object should be to make it as unOb-
jectionable as possible. 1t can be made
quite ornamental; and there is pleasant
sense of thrift without poverty in the sight
of well-ftting glove with neat darn that
almost enhances to beauty. 1t is not uncom-
mon to have even good glove burst along
the edge of the seam near the base of the
thumb, and it is useless to mend it by draw
ing the edges together again in deeper
seam. In such cases make a fine button
hole stitch around the edges of the hole, and
then draw them together. From "Small

Home Life Insurance 90.
A New Feature of Insurance.

Before insuring your lives II would be
well to investigate the new feature of in
surance recently adopted by the Home Life
Insurance Company, of New York, namely:
"The Dividend Endowment. Plan combined
with the Return Premium" BY this we
mean to say that the full annual premium
will he paid to the beneficiary in the event
of DEATH in addition to the face of the
policy; and if the party who insures lives 20
years, the full amount of insurance is
payable direct to him at that time.
All Dividend Endowment Policies have
the premium Loan" feature.
On ten payment plan, after premiums
have been paid five years, the company will
loan all subsequent premiums; and on a
twenty payment policy of the same form,
after premiums have been paid for ten
years. will loan the ten remaining premiums
Also on all Return Premium" Policies
the cash value is guaranteed and written in
the Policy contract.
The Home Lite has a surplus of assets
over its liabilities, which is more than
double the average ratio of all other life
companies combined, making it the safest
and one of the cheapest companies in which
to insure. For further information apply

An Alarming Discovery.

Last Tuesday morning, during the excite
ment of election IL was noised about that
an attempt had been made to burn our
town, or at least portion OF it. People
flocked into the back part of the building
that is used by w. E. Johnson as barber
shop, where hole had been burned through
the floor, also burning the window casing
and one end of a show ease belonging to the
Rice Mfg Co., which was stored i'm the
building. Mr.. Johnson who runs shop i'm
TIE front end of the building, sleeps i'm the
back room. but had gone to Durand that
evening, and not returning until late hour,
noticed nothing but a peculiar smell, which
he attributed to the coal that he was burning
in the stove. In the morning, he discover
ed the cause OF the peculiar odor, and upon
examining the premises it was found that
some devilish fiend in the form OF human
being had poured kerosene through broken
light i'm the window, then set fire to it,
After the oil had burned the fire must have
went out of itself, but it seems almost inn
possible too, for it was so hot that il broke
the glass in the case.
If the fire had gained Roadway i'm that
building no amount of labor could have
saved the entire eastern portion of our vii.
lage, for the wind blew gale all the night
from the west, and as this building is about
the center of the solid brick block on the
south side of Main street, it you'd have
destroyed the main business portion of the
village also.
We cannot understand what could have
been the object of this dastardlv attempt for
the destruction of property which likely
would have endangered good many lives.
The Rice Mfg Co. have quite stock of
goods in this building. and the loss would
have been considerable for them.
If anyone should discover person at
tempting such crime, would he not be
Justified in shooting him on the spot and
that without asking for any explanatiOn?-
