Democracy in PinetuckY.

Fine samples of democracy we
have down in old Pinetucky.
We have all sorts of democrats in
this county. Some are democrats
for want of light, others for want of
sense, others for want of money,
others for want of office, others for
want of principle, and some for the
want Of all these things. At the
same time, if man wants to be a
democrat it is nothing to me, for
have close kin people that are demo
Gratis Cor say they are), but let me
tell you right now | am not a demo-
crat by name. I heard a man say,
ct am a democrat because pa always
was" Now, if my pa had always
plowed an OK, must pillow one just
because he did? If can do better,
no. I know another man that said,
" I would vote for yellow dog if it
was nominated by the Democratic
party" Now, don't that show you
that they don't care for our welfare,
but will stick to party rather than
prlncipleP That is what is the mat
ter. They have voted for the yellow
dog too much already; that was what
killed the party. Another says, "I
am a democrat because I was born
democrat" Now, the people around
here that know say that the nearest
kin he had that had ever voted a
democratic ticket was great uncle.
Now, that is another fine sample.
Some of the democrats around here
praise Major Black because he voted
wet ticket. Now, | have nothing
against Black for that, if he had not
said he was prohibitionist. He was
a prohibition man, aud thought it
best until he saw this county was 60
ing wet by large majority, then
voted for the sale. / am not pro-
hibitionist at all. I don't believe in
prohibition unless it will prohibit,
but I don't fall out with anybody
that is, if you are one and think it
best, it is all right with me. They
say prohibition split the Peoples
party, but it didn't. We are in for
the Peoples party and Hon. Thomas
E. Watson, whisky or no whisky. |
want my brother democrats to read
the 18th chapter Of Revelation and
think over it. There is something
in it that you don't want to hear, [
am afraid. You must remember that
the New Testament says: "And [
gave her space to repent of her forni-
cation, and she repented not" So
we gave you a chance to do. The
democrats had 148 majority in the
House, and then had no chance.
What sort of a chance did they want ?
But let me say, it was your last
chance, if we get an honest count,
and they don't try to do like they did
in Alabama. We must have our
rights. I have q few words to say
about the Augusta Chronicle; it has
got its reputation up, for lying, as
sure as you are born, and you can
put that down, jake.

The Augusta Chronicle admits
that Mr.. Watson was purposely mis-
quoted at Bishop. 1t says of the
incident at Charlottesville:
The platform went down again
yesterday, but had hardly settled on
the ground before Mr.. Watson was
upon the table smiling and bowling
to the crowd, He took the oppor-
tunity to say that he had said on a
former occasion that he could speak
from any platform that anybody
else could, meaning the speakers
stand, and not any political platform.
Everybody knows what Mr.. Watson
meant, but the other construction
was SO natural and true that the press
could not fail to make the point on it.
And it seems to have hit the quick.
How natural lying is to some peo-
pie is here illustrated.

The Atlanta Constitution of Mon
day makes an important admission
in an editorial on the force bill issue.
After calling attention to the fact
that Mr.. Halstead ridicules the force
bill as a humbug, and that the third
presumably People's) party agree
that it is not an issue, the Constitu-
ton says:
At the North the republicans are APP
peallng to the conservative business ele-
ments for their aid and support, and the
editors and orators know that if these
elements can be convinced that force bill
legislation is to be the result Of repubIi-
can success, the party Of fraud and Sec
tionalism would be promptly voted
down. This is why the democrats are
making the force bill a prominent issue
in the contest. This feature of the cam
raiQn is not confined to those democrats
who nave q notion that the democratic
platform goes further than even Mr..
Cleveland thought desirable, but it is
endorsed by those democrats who are
out-and-out free traders.
This gives the whole case away.
The Southern people know that
there is no probability of a Con
gress favorable to the force bill, I'M
less, as has been threatened, the
democrats of New England join the
gold-standard epuhlicans in it's pas
sage, in which event it is still doubt
full if it can be passed.

REV. BRADWELL.

That blue-ribbon Donkey, w. j.
Northen, carried this colored man
down to Sandersville to tell the col
ored voters that I had called the
regular order on his claim, and
that therefore I should be beat for
Congress.
Did Northen investigate this
claim?
Does he know its nature?
Does he know it has been paid?
Does he know l was calling the
the regular order to get the Sub
Treasury Bill up?
Does he know that Bradwell is
complaining that his Bill was not
not taken up out of its regular
order?
Does he know that I was obeying
the instructions of the Alliance peo-
pie in trying to force up the Sub
Treasury Bill-so that measure to
help millions of people should have a
hearing?
Does he know that I succeeded
and won what the National Econo-
mist called sour first victory?"
Does he know that Bradwell's
Bill is there on the calendar just like
many others,to be dealt with accord
ing to the miller's rule of ''frstI come
first served?'
No. He does not know any of
these these things. Why? Because
he has more whiskers than sense.
How crazy the Democrats are. In
one breath they say "Watson has no
influence"
In the next breath they say he
killed bill which Livingston was
trying HIS b6cU W pcboos
Bradwell's claim was for many
thousands of dollars-a claim for
cotton burnt or taken during the
war, or just after. Congress. con-
idered his Bill, reported the sum
which the evidence showed to be
due and paid it. Bradwell accept
ed the money, and entered no pro-
test as to the amount. Now he
wants the tax payers bed again. He
gave me the above facts in Wash
ington, and told him I thought his
claim was settled by said payment.
What do the tax payers say?
Can man sue you for 500, and
after getting judgment for $50, and
you have paid the money, then turn
round and sue you again for the
other $50?
Surely not. Then why does not
the same rule apply in favor of the
tax payers?
If Billy Northen would trim" his
whiskers perhaps his brains would
grow some.
Hit me again, boys!

CRAWFORDVILLE ECHOSE.

How scared the Democrats are!
They poured in from every city in
Georgia. No wonder they declined
to debate off the Rail Roads. Their
crowd has to be imported.
Brother Black lost the thread of
his argument and had to ask" where
was at?''
Of course anybody will get lost
who will try to argue the Demo
cratic side.
The Charlottesville Hotel was well
supplied with colored people. They
were in the rooms upstairs as well
as downstairs. Yet the Democrats
raised no row, Why? They were
Democratic negroes. That makes
all the difference in the world. See?
An imported Democratic negro
stood on the hotel steps and said
''any man who will vote for Watson
is Cd DIN fool"
This was wildly applauded by the
Democrats, and they took the negro
over to the court house steps and
had him to address the crowd and
repeat the insult. Suppose one of
US had done such thing!

WISE WORDS.

Imitation is the sincerest fattery.
Gratitude is one of the rarest of vir-
tues.
As soon as we form habit we have
master.
Every sin that is not forsaken marries
and raises family.
The best way to teach children to do
good is to show them how.
Friendship is the gift of the gods and
the most precious boon to man.
A thankful man owes courtesy ever;
the unthankful but when he needs it.
Never lose your temper. Nobody
wants it; all have enough OF their own.
The scorn of genius is the most arro-
CANT and the most boundless of all
scorn.
The man who has the right kind of
wisdom never makes the same mistake
twice.
The more you love yourself the better,
if you love your neighbor to the same
extent.
Goodness does not more certainly
make men happy than happiness makes
them good.
Half the gossip of society would perish
if the books that are truly worth reading
were but read.
There is no remembrance which time
does not obliterate, nor pain which death
does not terminate.
If a man look sharply and attentively,
he shall see Fortune, for, though she be
blind, yet she is not invisible.
As riches and honor forsake q man, we
discover him to be fool, but nobody
could find it out in his prosperity.

The astronomers at the National OBJ
servatory, Washington, do not calculate
time by the sun, but by the '.fixed"
stars, which are SO s'6xed" on account of
being SO far away from the earth that in
some instances they do not change their
relative positions to our little planet in
years. This being the case, the ultra
exact astronomers remark that star time
is the only true time to go by. In cal
culating s'star time" the observers use
large-slzed telescope and watch for
given star to cross the plane of a certain
known meridian. As the star crosses the
observer records it to the most minute
fraction of second, using star-time
clock with twenty -four hour dial for
that purpose. The clock and the star
may or may not correspond, but that
simple fact makes no difference to the
star -gazer, who is renowned for his abil-
ity for using half hundred figures for
expressing the distance in miles to his
so-called s.ixed" clock regulators. The
error, should one be detected, although
it is but the twentieth of second, is
corrected later on. In his next calcula-
ton, computation and operation, the OBJ
server reduces the time as shown by his
star clock so that it corresponds with sui
time, which is no small mathematical
feat, especially when we take into con-
sideration the fact that the sidereal or
star year is about one full day longer
than the solar or sun year. A s'stand-
ard" time clock stands near the time
piece whose regulator is the stars; the
amount OF variation between the two is
calculated, and the next instant exact
time is transmitted all over the land. A
Washington writer, who knows whereof
he speakes, says that it takes twenty -one
weeks to properly regulate and test the
chronometers used by the Navy Depart
ment of the United States. During
these tests they are subjected to every
known degree of heat and cold With
which they are at all likely to come in
contact.-St. Louis Star Sayings.
