ida and South Carolina.
Lawrenceville News: No wonder the
Atlanta Constitution advises the central
democratic committee to call in Hon.
Henry G. Turner, The Constitution has
been preaching so many fallacies to the
people that it breads to have a man like
Henry G. Turner expose them on the
bustiDgs. The News is not supporting
Mr.. Turner in his race for the senate, but
IL is proud of any Georgian who has the
manhood and the honesty TO tell the peo-
pie the truth concerning the financial
question. On with your work, Mr.
Turner.
LawrenceviIle News: When such an
undemocratic sheet as the Atlanta Con-
stitution advises so great and good and
pure a democrat as Henry G. Turner TO
keep off the stump, the average demo
cratic stomach feels like rebelling against
its contents.
Waycross Herald; The Atlanta Con-
stitutiou has opened its batteries on Hon.
H. G. Turner The onslaught is not I'M
expected, and is very gratifying to MIR
Turner's friends throughout the state IT
there were any doubts about his oeing
elected senator before, they no longer
exist
VaIdosta Times Hon. H G. Turner is
receiving more invitations to speak than
he can possibly fill. He is wanted at six
different places on one day next week. He
will probably speak IL Rome, Gainesville,
Lawrenceville, Bailey, and other places
next week, and at Milledgeville to-day
He spoke at Decatur last Tuesday, and
Leary on Thursday. There is wide
spread desire all over Georgia to hear this
| distinguished Georgian.
Valdosta Telescope: Il may make mis-
takes, and possibly it may pay me to benz
the pregnant hinges of the knee but l
had rather see this great question settled
intelligently, safely, periodically than
any good thing that might happen TO
me-" The spirit of these words from
Mr.. Turner's Decatur speech make him
worth ship load of the mud politicians
who are turned and twisted about like
clay in the hands OF the potter.
SyIvania Telephone: There is a col
ored man up in johnson county named
Early Green, who was nominated by the
| third party for coroner. He and his
| friends in return were to vote for the
| third party candidates, which, according
| to their promise, they did. Green was
! elected coroner-but did he get the Officer
/ NOb AuCus kalJSE ne was 6lbCJ6u MS
! third party friends all refused to go on
| his olncial bond, which he had 10 give
before he could take charge of the office.
Columbus Enquirer-Sun; The demo
| cratic speakers who are now waking the
echoes on the Georgia stump cannot do
! better than follow the path blazed by Col.
| w. 9. Glenn in his Columbus speech
stand by the democratic administration,
| stand by the Chicago platform, stand by
! the Georgia platform of 1894. And it
! ought not to be necessary to remind any
of these speakers, nor any candidate on
| the stump, that there is no l6 to free sill
Yer coinage mentioned in words or in
dorsed in spirit by either Of these great
! party authorities
FLORIDA.
Pensacola News, Aug. %: II is now
just thirtyfour days until the arrivalof
the time when independentism in Florida
will be calmly but positively wiped from
the face of the earth.
Ocala Capitol: 1t is stated that H M.
Flagler and H. B. Plant are coutemplat-
ing building large hotel at Lemon-bay
The house is to contain about 1000 rooms
ana will be the largest in the state
The ''reformers" should protest to these
foreign capitalists" thus running the
country"
St. Augustine News: That the alb
duction of Delegate Helvenston at the
Palatka convention to prevent his voting
! in the committee on credentials W as an
{ outrage no one denies, and if the parties
committing the offense are properly dealt
with by the authorities it win be a valu-
l. able lesson TO future offenders. Prac-
/ tical Jokes e. belong to school boys
only. ----
SOUTH CAROLINA.
Columbia State: 1t is claimed that the
J closing of the state barroom for three
months has resulted in profit of s., 900
/ because of the increase meanwhile of the
/ United States revenue tax on whisky
| from 80 cents to $1.10per gallon. We
! could see this profit If the liquor were to
! be sold at a correspondingly increased
| price; but if sold at the old rate there
will be no extra profit to the state.
Columbia State A reorganization of
the democratic party of South Carolina
and a fight to the finish against the be-
Jrayal of the state into populist slavery,
would be supported by the moral senti-
ment of the democracy everywhere; but
particularly of the south, which, akin to
us in sympathies and conditions knows
the perils Of our situation and the hard
ness Of our lot.
Columbia Register: 1t now begins to
appear as if Senator Butler is back of the
effort the republicans have been making
to have the registration laws of the state
| wiped out by the courts. The registra-
! ton laws Will stand, and it is said Butler
will contest Iillman's election to the Sen
| ate on the ground that but for the regis
| tration laws sufficient negroes would
| have voted to secure election TO the gen
elal assembly of enough members TO elect
| him.
Greenville News: Alas, alas for Able
