Press to divert the attention Of the
lumbermen from the fact that the
democrats have placed lumber upon
the free list, forcing them to sell
their product in free trade market
while they must pay protection
prices for all their supplies. There
is no danger in the words "and other
corporations" to the lumber COM
panies, for the section states ex-
pressly "for speculative purposes"
and lands held for legitimate indus
trial purposes do not come under
that head.
1t is miserable makeshift of an
attempt to justify the false state
made in the first instance that a
"man can own only what he can cul-
tivate for his own private use," and
if the dear Savannah Press were not
more concerned about retaining the
democratic party in power than it
seems to be about conforming its
statements to truth and reason, it
would not have made y

Fair Elections.

A great hue and cry is being raised
for fair elections all over the state Just
now. The old republican rally of a
free ballot and fair count is being
worked for all it is worth. Every
honest man desires perfectly fair
election, nothing less will satisfy the
people of this state. But why is it
when the law fixes the method for
holding elections, that at this late day
charletans, mounted banks, mugwumps
and weak-kneed democrats take up
this republican rallving cry and join
with the populists in their screecheS
| for fair play ? These blatant charlie
tans who pose as the very essence of
purity were as dumb as oysters in the
days when republicanism ran riot in
this section, and then as now, sat with
folded hands and thanked God that
they were not like other men.
That every man has the right to de-
post his ballot freely and without re-
serve, and to have that ballot counted
after it is deposited, none will deny.
Nothing less will be done in this
country.
But if there is such grave doubt rest
ing on the minds of the public that
this is notso, the very pertinent inquiry
ariseS-frOm whence comes this dis
trust? Where, from whom and why?
No man, except he be fool or a knave,
will assert, since the advent of popu-
lism, or before as to that matter, that
previous elections in this county have
been unfair, or that voters have been
intimidated If so, show up the fraud,
name the man, the time and place.
Business is businesses up, or
shut up.
We will give our good brother
one instance: AT the congressional
election in November, 1892, Rich
mond county polled 1885 votes,
when less than 5000 voters were
registered and the county contained
but HOPS men of voting age.
Now if the Observers cry for o
fair election is not like the cry Of the
rogue who loudly bawls "stop thief
to deceive his pursuers, it will not
weaken its demand for a fair cleo
ton by pretense that there is no
grounds for it. 1t will also reserve
its vigorous denunciations for the
men who are guilty and the party in
whose interest it is done instead of
pouring out the walls OF its wrath on
those who make the demand.

The Same Old Story.

The Townsville Advertiser, in its
report of Mr.. Watson's speech in that
city last Wednesday, says:
Toms talk was the same old calamity
howl. To his uncovered eyes he sees
no bright star of hope. His populistic
glasses blind him to the march of
prosperity which is sweeping over Geor-
gia, and he sends up his little wall of
woe. His harrangue is the same old,
old story, with nothing new in it. 1t
is the most veritable rot, with less sense
than one of the talks by Whiskers
Pope.
Could his speech be anything but
the same old story? How long will
the democratic press keep up its
senseless abuse of the men who try
to rouse the people to shake off the
yoke of the party whose rule is daily
sinking our country into deeper
depths of financial distress and its
attendant suffering and want? In
spite of the same old song of the
democratic editors that times were
getting better, and that the dear old
party would bring relief to a plum
dered people, it is proven to be but
the sirens song which is Turing the
people on to destruction. Instead Of
the promised Improvement what have
we? After nearly two years of demo-
cratic rule we find ourselves heavily
taxed on sugar, with an increase in
the price of all the necessaries of
life, with dearer bagging and ties in
which to wrap cotton, which is
steadily declining.
1t is the same ola story Of demo-
cratic antagonism to the interests of
the people, which is bringing ruin to
our people and will continue so as
long as that party remains in power;
and it is the same old game with the
democratic leaders and editors, to
villify and abuse the party and the
men through whom alone redemp-
ton from the existing unjust and op-

We have quoted freely from the
Negro state press to show where the

favor the populists. Below we give
clipping from the Peoples Advo-

We are now, as we have always been,
trying to advise our people as TO the
best course to take in the coming po-
litieal contest. 1t is our conscientious
belief that the colored men of Georgia
should support the popul;st party We
have studied the principles of both
parties, and compared them carefully,
and do declare that there is nothing for
the Negroes in the democratic party
but abuse, suppression and hurnilia-
ton. The Negroes of Georgia are
called upon to be men, men who can
not be bought and sold in the next
election like SO many cattle. The time
has come when we must cast our vote
for those principles which we consien-
tiously believe to be working for the
best good of all the people of this com

Whipped In by the Job-Lash.

Recently we copied from the FL
berton Star the proceedings of col
ored mass meeting which adopted res
olutions protesting against debauch-
ing voters with whisky, and pledging
themselves to oppose any party
which resorted to such methods.
The resolutions were signed by the
secretary, a colored school teacher of
that county.
In the next issue of the Star ap-
peared a notice, signed officially by
the school commissioner of Ebert
county, in which that resolution was
denounced as "the biggest fool and
nonsensical article" and the job-lash
cracked in ga few plain words of
English" given in these words:
So help me God, as long as I am
county school commissioner, the mig.
ger" politicians of Georgia will not
teach our schools.
1t did the work, as the following
card in this weeks Star will show:
Mr.. EDIToR-I am in receipt of very
satisfactory letter from r. j. Spann,
colored teacher, who disclaIms any con
nection with the resolution referred tC
in previous articles from me.

always regarded him as one of the best
colored teachers in our county and
have often remarked the same,
He says he only acted as secretary by
request, and take this opportunity ito
withdraw any remarks that may have
come from me rejecting on him.

Stick to the Text.

Following the usual method en-
ployed by the democratic press, Of
distorting the aims and purposes OF
the peoples party, and by appeals to
prejudice and ignorance arousing
opposition to it, the Savannah Press
recently contained the assertion that
one of the demands the peoples
party was for 'no man to own more
land than he could cultivate for his
own private USE"
This was SO grossly false that
charity led US to suppose that the
talented editor of our Savannah
namesake had never read the popu-
list platform, and that, simply accept
ing as true the idle vaporing of some
person not better informed than
himself, he had misstated the facts
without being aware of it.
But the Savannah Press disclaims
the excuse we set up for it. Its
effort to place the peoples party in a
bad light before its readers and
! prejudice them against it was not
due to false conception it had OF
the real purposes of our party: 1t
was not due to excessive zeal begot-
ten of ignorance! BY its own words
it confesses to misrepresentation, for
the proof it presents OF the correct
ness and justifableness of its accu-
sation is so preposte-ously far-fetched
and absurd that it would be a refec.
ton on its editors intelligence to
suppose that he really believed it.
Here is what the Press has to say
about it:
The Savannah Press has read the
populist platform and that is the rea-
son it makes the assertion that the land
plank breathes the spirit of confisca-
ton. 1t declares that the land, in
Guiding all the natural sources OF
wealth, is the heritage of all the peo-
pie and should not be monopolized for
speculative purposes, and an alien
ownership of land should be prohibited
All lands now held by railroads and
other corporations in excess of their
actual needs, and all lands now owned
by aliens should be reclaimed by the
government and held for actual settlers
only"
The danger lies in the words 'and
other corporations. The trouble is
that many lumber companies and other
industries have bought up large tracts
of land and were holding them against
the tine when the supply of tim Der
might be exhausted. Under the sweep
ing conditions of the populist's land
plank such holdings might be con
strued as being ''in excess of their
actual needs" and in certain degree
for speculative purposes. If this
party proposes to sit in Judgment upon
the amount of land man owns it
might likewise assume to cut down tine
products of farmer or the wages of
labor. This kind of government regu-
lation is apu to get people into inter
miaable trouble.

Who is Clifford Anderson?
He is q man who is now in the

that the old ship of state would fall

In 1872 a democratic legislature
investigated everything Bullock had
done.
Among other things which that
legislature did was to appoint COM
mittee to investigate the "adminis-
tration and management" of the
Western and Atlantic Railroad by
Governor Bullock.
The chairman of that committee
was Milton A. Gambler, of the county
of DeKalb. Colonel Gambler is an
honest man, and therefore Livingston
defeated him, and in the report of
that committee he used the follow
ing language:
"The people of Georgia have the i'm
preston that new-comers-norther
men, republican Adventures, carpet
baggers-have profited chiefly by the
acknowledgement of the State road. The
investigation does not show it. Geor
gians have had portion, a liberal por-
ton white and black, laborers and
traders, merchants, printers and law
yers, the latter especially. No preda-
tory squadron of cavalry ever swept
through an enemy's country with more
rapacity and ruthlessness than has
characterized the raid of the lawyers
upon the ineXhaustible dear old State
road treasury"

having engaged in this raid on the
