POLITICS IN TWO STATES.
Comments on Affairs in Georgia and
South Carolina.
GEORGIA.

GEORGIA.
Athens Banner: Gen. Evans is re-
deeming in the most effective way pos
sible, his promise to the people to stump
the state in the interest of the nominee
OF the Democratic party for governor.
And he is doing good work, too.
Tattnall Journal Watson says much
about depreciation of property values in
Georgia. Cause-dishonest pops and dis
honest returns. A prominent third party
leader in Franklin county returned his
land this spring at 81 800 and sold it
few days ago for S., $50 cash. This ex-
plains all.
Valdosta Telescope: For the first time
in an age South Georgia asks the people
of the state for one of the senators. She
presents man the peer of any in Amer
lea, statesman, honest, bold ana true,
around whose splendid record every dem
ocrat can Join hands Now, if North
! Georgia wants to tote fair let them aid
in sending Hon. Henry G. Turner to the
! Senate
! Hartwell Bee: This certifies that I
have been with the Third party for
three years; have done what ! could in
my humoie way for its success, but hav-
ing been convinced that there is nothing
in it for anybody but the office seekers |
now propose to renew my allegiance TO
| the Democratic party and vote the
| democratic ticket as long as it con-
! tinues in the future as it has been in the
| past, the party for all the people.
THOMAS BAILEY"
Valdosta Times editor Pendleton's
paper) Editors Pendleton and Howell
were members of the state platform COM
mittee at the last state convention. Edi-
! tor Pendleton, and those who thought
| like him on that committee, framed the
| financial plank which was adopted unani-
mously by the convention. Editor
| Howell and his kind on that committee
fought to the end, and voted against it
in the committee room. Now, does that
plank represent Editor Pendleton's
views, or does it represent Editor
| Howell's2
Oglethorpe Echo: When the Demo
cratic party took control of Georgia there
was not a public school in the state Now
there are public free schools for both
races on almost every hill top, where all
the youths of the land may be thoroughly
! instructed in the elementary branches of
an English education without any charge
| whatever. The state of Georgia under
| the control and movement of the Demo-
| cratic party has brought these blessings
to the youths of our great state, and
while the third party speakers proclaim
that they will do greater things in the
way of education than have ever been
done heretofore, their assertions are de-
ceptive and unwarranted by their party
platform. They have an educational
plank in their platform, but it is ''strad-
ole" and does not pledge the govern
ment to pay anything for educational pur-
poses.
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia Register: Why is it that
Butler did not denounce the Tillmanites
as populists when he was canvassing the
state3 Why did he not get off his TRADE
about the ring" them Why did he wait
until after he saw he was beaten in the
organized democracy to deny its democ-
racyi When Butler answers these three
questions ne will deserve a chrome.
Macon (Ga) Telegraph: T. Larry
CAN'T, along with his two sons, having
been thoroughly thrasheG on a street of
the South Carolina town where he now
lives, admitted before the police court
that all the fault was his and paid the
fine of everybody concerned Col. CAN'T,
as his old acquaintance in Georgia know,
is about the easiest man in the world to
satisfy after he has been whipped Under
such circumstances he is ever generous
and forgiving.
Newberry Herald and News: If
ticket is put in the field defeat is inevita-
bic. Without a ticket we see no good to
be accomplished by organization at this
time. On the other hand, we can see
much harm that may result from making
hopeless fight. The time for making
the fight this year has passed.
The best thing that we can do now is to
let things rock. An enthusiastic and ear
nest position of mastery inactivity would
be about the best thing we could do That
is the way we feel, and we would be very
glad to see Newberry take no part in the
call for convention 10 be held in Colum-
bia on the 18th.
Greenville News: Senator Butler is the
night blooming cereus of our politics. He
blossoms only once in a century. We had
not heard much from him in many long
years, but he is in full flower now, and
bursts into newspaper communication
nearly every day. If we were in the
humor 10 work off something especially
atrocious, we would describe him as a
knight blooming serious. The gravity Of
the situation seems TO have impressed
him of a sudden. He evidently did not
appreciate il two years ago when we out
cast ants were fighting in a forlorn hope
here and looking in vain for encourage
ment and help.
