ORGANIZING The NEGROES.
THE ENEMY is ACTIVE INTHE THIRD
DISTRICT.
Meetings Are Held Almost Every Night,
and Democrats are Becoming
Alarmed.

Mr.. G. W. Warner, a member of the
democratic executive committee in the
Third district, called at THE News office
Thursday and impaired information that
should arouse the democrats of the coun-
ty and put them to work.
The democrats of the Third district
are alarmed over the situation down
there, and say that unless some good
work is done the populists will have a
big majority at that precinct when the
elections occur.
Mr.. Warner. who has been. very care
fully watching the drift of politics IN his
district, says that there has been com
bine between the third party leaders and
the negroes, ana that the vote of the lat
ter will figure prominently in the ap-
proaching elections. He says the ne
rroes hold meetings almost nightly.
These meetings are largely attended,
and one or two white men are always
present to encourage and drill them IN
third party politics. "These white men,
said Mr.. Warner, care organizing the
negroes thoroughly, and are putting
ideas into their heads that may cause
much harm in the future"
Mr. Warner says that besides this ac-
tivity among the negroes a good many
white citizens have declared, for one
reason or another, their intention of
voting the populisi ticket, and, taken
all together, it will require struggle to
save the Third district to democracy.
He says the democrats down there are
going to inaugurate an active campaign,
and they want all the help they can get
They are specially anxious to have one
or two strong speeches in the district,
and arrangements will probably be made
for them.
1t certainly behooves democrats to be
on guard. With vigilance on their part
there will be no no chance of third party
success. and the democratic ticket will
sweep the deck, as it has always done, in
Terrell county.

AnObiect Lesson.

From the Atlanta Journal.
A few days ago somebody made the
assertion on the streets of Albany that
there was not a good ham in the city.
Albany is one of the most elegant of
the smaller cities in Georgia, and its five
thousand people live as we'll, perhaps, as
any other five thousand in Georgia. And
yet, upon investigation. the remarkable
assertion we have quoted turned out to
BE- literally true.
1t came to be SO because the nebs strike
had cut off the supply of meat from the
west and the people of Albany had used
all their merchants had on hand.
This state of things was sad reflec
ton on Georgia. It is to be deplored
that strike in Chicago can in few days
deprive populous and wealthy cOmmu-
nifty in this state of it's last slice of ham.
We had hoped that the time was near at
hand when Georgia would no longer
keep its 'smoke house" in the west. but
the Albany incident is certainly discour-
aging.
There is no reason why every pound
of meat used in Georgia should not be
raised within the limits of the state.
There is no comparison between the
Georgia ham and the article that comes
to us from the great packing houses of
the west Our homemade ham is far
Sweeter more delicate and better cured.
And yet the suspension of traffic with
the west for few days exhausts the
ham supply of a Georgia CITY!
How much longer is this foolishneSs to
go on?

Only Two Russell Men.

From the Calhoun Courier
Judge Query filed his appointment
to speak at Milford, Baker county, last
Friday, and divided time with Mr.. W.N.
Spence, of Camilla. One Of those pres
ent at the debate says the Camilla man
was so badly done up in the joint debate
that he didn't know where he was at
when the judge got through with him.
The fact is, there is snot man in the
second district who can down jim Guer-
Yin joint debate, and so well do Mr..
Russell's friends know that he is incapa-
bic of taking care OF himself that Ham
mond and Spence ct ii. are stumping the
district for him while he shields himself
behind that old dodge of sticking to
his post" 1t is said only two avowed
Russell men could be found in the Mil
ford audience after the debate was over.

DANGERS OF DANCING.

A medical author " says that mod.
ern dancing in close and crowded mar.
lors and ball rooms is very undesirable
from a hygienic point of view. pby.
siclans are unanimous in condemniDe
dancing as it is understood at nrps
ent; but 1t might be made a hygiepje
exercise If it were executed In the
open air and in the daytime, and II
the amount of the exercise was in pro.
portion to the strength of the dancers
After a ball it is quite common to
find that many delicate young women
show signs of disturbed heart action,
or of laryngitis. colds, bronchitis and
sometimes pneumonia and pleurisy In
all cases of consumption dancing
should be rigidly forbidden, as it may
cause the disease to assume a rapid
form of fatal development. In car
diac troubles also indulgence in dane.
ing Is likely TO prove very dangerous
The medical correspondent says:
.lt Is scarcely necessary to refer to
the dust of all kinds, to the innumer
able microbes that the dancers send
lying into the air, nor need we speak
OF the untimely strain imposed upon
the organism which, at a time when
1t ought to be at rest, Is, on the con
trary, .overexcited. What greater mis-
take than the midnight supper, at
which the most unwholesome things
are eaten and drunk? The guests bolt
in very short time food that is gen
orally heavy and washed down with
strong wine, and this IS scarcely over
before the dancing is resumed against
the most elementary rules Of common
sense and hygiene Nor is this all; Il
is not the body alone that is concerned
as the mind has its share in this ia.

LOOKING FOR OIL AND GAS.
Haphazard Search only Involves vain
Labor and Expense.

1t. Is still Interesting and often as

the search for oil and natural gas,

plain suggestions that reliable oil
maps now furnish are not more gen
orally studied and an application made
OF the knowledge in locating the seat
of operations when search Is to b,
mace for the one or the other OF these
fluids.
1t is understood, of course, that
there Is always some uncertainty in
drilling for either oil or gas. for there
Is crapricious variation in the rock

to see and interpret signs, if the trail

all there is a general method IN these

FISHING WITH A BLACKsNAKE.
The Reptile Was Born Angler and
Showed Himself Fond of the Sport.


The Reptile Was Born Angler and
Showed Himself Fond of the Sport.
Here is a snake story from Bechu-
analand paper, says the Rangoon
Times, which we do not remember
having seen before: A Barberton man
who goes to church regularly was one
day walking along the banks of Con-
cession Greek eating a sandwich, and
on account of the usual disparity be-
tween meat and bread, he threw the
redundant piece into the water. In
mediately a swarm of yellow fish
bubbled round it fighting for the
mouthful. The man searched his peck
cts for fishing tackle, but all in vain,
and he was just beginning to die OF
despair when his eyes lighted on a
big blacksnake. At chat moment he
remembered how his father used to
tell him that blacksnakes were very
expert in catching fish. He, therefore,
grabbed the reptile by the tail, car
ried ii to the river, and held it over
the struggling fish. The snake proved
itself born angler, and in the course
of an hour the man had captured forty
fine fish. A few days later, as he was
walking in the same place he felt
something rubbing against his leg,
and, looking down, he saw his friend,
the blacksnake, eager for more sport

WHY NOT, LADIES?
Why Not Wear knickerbockers When
Bicycling An Awful Costume.


There does not seem to be any par
ticular reason why women Should not
wear knickerbockers and stockings
when bicycling, since they have for
many years worn the Jightest of
bathing costumes. including stockings,
knee breaches and sleeveless bodices,
making liberal exposure Of the neck
in the surf. The clinging nature of
the material of which the bathing
costumes are made reveals every line
of the figure of the wearer. Yet the
women never seem TO feel any sense
this fashion. They bathe with men,
loll about the beaches and submit to
the closest kind OF scrutiny without
any hesitation. The bicycle dresses
which have recently been adopted are
infinitely more modest than the bath
ing costumes, and as the women are
moving NEST Of the time when in sight
OF the public, and not lolling about
for the inspection of every one. as
they do on the beathes. the effect Is
far less startling The consensus Of
opinion is that the boomers which
the bicycle women have adopted and
which are seen III the park occasion
