HORNY HANDS.
Since our legislators claim to be the special
friends of the farmer, 1t must be very embar-
RAISING to them 10 think how seldom they
shake the horny hands Of these sons OF Toll

WHERE THE pLUMs WILL GO.
If Mr.. LatImer Is not now full fledged
Weaverite Il still think he is) he will be two
years hence, and / predict that the hottest
ever waged In the district, W II then
be between he anu Johnstone, while Repub-
lican will most likely come in and get the
plums.
A LULL IN THE YELLING.
After all, 1t makes but little difference with
most OF us-who yelled so Justify, talked ana
wrote so Vehemently, and voted SO. arduously
for Sheppard or Tlllman--who is Governor.
We have served our day, and can now go
about our business until next election when
we will he expected 10 do The same thing over

OF the nation" This places the Presidency
beyond q possibility for us. and there Is now
so little honor in being Governor. Congress-
man or Legislator that none OF US aspire to
them.

THE DEspIsED THIRD PARTY.
If the same spirit OF ingratitude, intolerance
and deception, yen OF communism and anar-
chy which characterize the Third Party In the
South Is common throughout the nation, lib
erty loving people may bid farewell to all they
hold dear as the subjects OF free government
II the Peoples Party does ever get holdof the
National Administration. Most of US are
Democrats by a precious heritage bequeathed
to us by the blood OF our fathers on fields "l
