that meetings are being held in the county
at which an imported negro is advising our
colored people TO support the Peoples party
candidates at the coming elections. He
tells them that the success Of the Peoples
party means that wages will be increased to

who are now complaining OF their poverty
should consider what will be the inevitable
result of such talk as this Let no promises
be made that cannot be fulfilled. 1t will be
better to start the old forty acres and
mule" story, than to promise them wages
which no southern farmer can pay.

The Georgia railroad runs through a
great fruit growing section, and the small
boys in that section of the country are max
ing quite neat sum just now. They meet
all the passenger trains that pass their sta
tions and sell peaches, summer apples, etc,
to the people on board. This, although a
bonanza to the countrymen, is seriously
objected to by the Southern News Com

being no middlemen with the vendors OF
fruit by the wayside they can, Of course,
undersell the butchers" and they are
losing their business in conseq uence Mr..
