Augusta Herald: The SAVANNAH News
is asking the Macon Telegraph some very
pertinent questions. 1t is anxious to
learn of the Telegraph if it considers
Ma. Bacon the soundest man on the
money question that is now seeking cleo
tion to the Senate. Let the Telegraph
answer.
Statesboro Star: Col r. Lee Moore
should bear in mind when he gets a
crowd Of negroes OF in the woods and
tells them that the alliance legislature
was the one that increased the free school
term 10 five months, That the records do
not bear him out in this statement The
only thing done by the alliance legisla-

senator after they had all gone there

of railway commission by singing the
praises of the old commission They al
lege that the commission in effect several
years ago accomplished wonderful results

earth dld the 'retOrmers' reDeal 10 il they
are the friends or the people, IL will
