Tell the Whole Truth.

Under the caption of "Negro De-
mocrat Shot At" the Augusta poll
ticians are sending out the following
telegram to the Democratic papers
"AUGUsTA, September 14-Bobert
Harper, who was an active worker
for Black during the registration, re-
ports that he was shot at three times
by unknown men at his home in Har-
risburg Thursday night. He has no
clue to the identity of the assailants."
They might supplement it with
copy of the skull and cross bone let
ter sent George Walton, negro
Populist, threatening him with dire
punishment if he did not forego the
Populist cause. They might also give
an account of the beating of two
white Populists by crowd of Dem
ocrats in the court house at Augusta
in the presence of the officers of the
law. They might embellish it with
an account of the killing of John
Hall in Jefferson county, by Demo,
crat hired to assassinate Rev. H. S.
Doyle, negro campaigner for the
Popullst cause. If they do not wish
to go out of Richmond county for
material they could give an interest.
ing account of the. killing or Horton,
the son of colored preacher, at the
Poor House precinct, by white
Democrat, and the murder of Golf
white Populist by Democrats at
the Hamburg precinct.
A detailed description of how Boy
kin Wright and his heelers murder
ed the honest majority given Tom
Watson by the bone and sinew of
the district IN '92 and '94 would
complete the sensation. Why cover
these crimes with the "mantle of
silence?" Nc.

to vote even though his militla-dis-
trict precinct is opened, if such coun-
try voter will take the oath. that he
has not voted elsewhere.
This construction would very ma
terially check the city repeater. But
the safest construction is that the
voter whose vote is accepted at the
Court House (his name not appear
ing on the Court House LIST must be
man from militia district where
the polls are not opened, and who
takes the oath laid down in the Stat
ute.
The marginal note in the pub
lished Act favors this construction
as does the language of the sentence
which alludes to "Me voting pre-
cinct," meaning apparently the pre-
cinct already alluded to wherein the
polls are not opened.
"Outside of an Incorporated town"
what do those words mean in
conn ection with the act
They must mean that voter who
lives in an Incorporated town must
vote in that town.
Suppose the polls should not be
opened in that town?
The voter cannot leave his town
and 60 to the Court House to vote.
He must vote in town or not at all.
We must follow the law no matter
how unreasonable it seems to be, and
we must adopt that construction
which is least liable to give us troub
lie.
While, therefore, the meaning Of
the section is by no means clear, we
advise our friends:
% To vote in their respective
wards or militia districts, if the polls
are opened.
(2) If the polls are not opened in
your ward or district, go to the
Court House precinct.
(3) If you live in an incorpora-
ted town, be sure that the polls are
opened in that town. Three free
holders can open the polls, if the
magistrate will not act.
az If your name has been en-
tered upon the voters book and il
legally stricken off by the Registrars,
go to the polls anyhow and, in the
presence of good witnesses, show
your ballot and offer to vote.

The Registration LaW--Wher'
You Must Vote.

Section 10 of the General Regis
tration Law for Georgia has caused
much doubt and confusion.
The first sentence plainly requires
the registered voters to vote at the
militia district precinct or city ward
where they are registered.
The second sentence reads thus,
in the published Acts:
elf in any city ward or militia dis
trict voting precinct as established
and opened etc."
The word ''mot" should come after
the word as" so that the sentence
should read.
'If in any city ward or militia
district a voting precinct is not es-
tablished and opened ETC."
We have had the enrolled Bill in
the State archives in Atlanta exam
ined, and the word "mot" appears in
the Act as passed by the Legislature.
Therefore our friends must con-
strue the law as passed--with the
word "not" coming after the word
HiS."
So read, the sentence proceeds to
say that the voters of the precinct or
ward where the polls are not opened
shall vote at the court house pre-
cinct.
So far, the legislative intention is
clear. But the third sentence in
Section 10 is muddy to the last de-
gree. 1t reads thus:
off any person shall offer to vote
at the precinct at the Court House,
at the county site, whose name does
not appear On the lists for that ward
or militia, district, but does appear on
the lists for one of the militia dis
tricts in which the voting precinct is
situated outside of an incorporated
town, such person shall be all owed
to vote upon taking" oath
that he has not voted elsewhere in
that election.
A muddier sentence than this, we
have never struck.
Does it mean that voter from
any militia district outside an incor-
porated town can vote at the Court
House, provided only that he will
swear that he has not voted else
where.
If SO, the Court House becomes
at once paradise for repeaters.
They can vote all round the coun-
ty by districts and then rally on the
Court House precinct to vote again.
The oath is nothing to a repeater, or
to the rascal who heels him,
This meaning may be, taking the
whole section together, that the
city voter must not vote out of his
ward, unless the polls at his ward
are not opened; but that the country
voter can come to the Court House

Editorial Notes.


whole of this snug sum is deposited
with the Rothschilds at London. The
King is very sensible man, sensible
also to the tottering of his throne,
and he evidently means to save, If not
his kingdom, at least his cash."
Where did King Humbert get this
$3O,0OO,OOO?
Robbed the people of Italy under
the forms of taxation, and thus got
it.
Perhaps a million peasants could
have prospered upon what this royal
libertine has squandered upon his
pleasures.
Having saved $30,0O0,00O from
the huge sums wrung from his peo-
pie, he does not even have The grace
to invest it in Italy.
Sends it to London, and puts it into
the Golfers of the Rothschilds; so
that if his kingdom Of Italy goes to
smash under his mis-rule, he, King
Humbert, can skip out to England
and live sumptuously on his plumber.

Poor's Manual for 1894, shows that
the Railroads paid, in dividends to
to stockholders and bondholders,
$27, 100000 less than in 1898.
This loss is explained in the COR
poration reports upon the ground that
the demagogues and the law makers
have been interfering too much with
the railroad business.
1t seems to US that the true ex-
PLANTATION is that the railroads have
shared in the shrinkage caused by the
contraction OF the currency.
Also, that the railroads, by their
unreasonable rates, have discouraged
and destroyed much Of the shipping
business which should have been fos-
tered for instance, the melon and
fruit business.
Another explanation is that the
railroad presidents, vice presidents,
lawyers and lobbyists absorb such a
tremendous amount of the railroad
earnings that precious little is left
for the stockholders.
The gradual trend of railroad
development is to confscate the
property of the common stakeholder.
The bondholders are the sharks, and
the stockholders are foolish for the
said sharks.
Take away the voting privilege at
tached by law to the common stock,
and in very short while common
stock would sell as waste paper.
More bonds :?
Certainly. The Rothschild syndi-
cate is getting hungry for another
mortgage on us and, unless they get
it, another we'll regulated editorial
shudder will run through all our Wall
Street newspapers.
Cleveland gave the syndicate $780,
100000 of our money as bonus for
buying $62,OOO,OO0 of our bonds,
which are the best securities in the
world.
Naturally such dainty bait as this
tickled the palates OF the Rothschilds
to such an extent that they want
some more.
Be patient: as soon as the fishing
season is ended at Buzzard's Roost,
the fat humbug who acts as presi-
dental agent of the corporations will
meekIy obey the Rothschilds orders,
and grind out more bonds.
What is the excuse for loading us
down with debt in this reckless way?
Simply that the "Gold Reserve" is
''impaired."
What is the Gold Reserve?
An arbitrary sum of money which
John Sherman said must be kept in
the Treasury to "redeem" Greenbacks
with.
Any law for it
None under the sun. Old John
Sherman did il as part of the wicked
scheme of contraction; and the
Democrats slavishly copied his policy
upon that subject as they have done

Only once did you open your
mouth-and then you put your foot
in it.
That Noah speech No wonder
your friends cooped you up after
that.
One speech of that kind was
enough. 1t confused your friends
and vindicated your opponents.
Since then your supporters have
been leaving you every day. Your
campaign is on the very point Of fall
ing to pieces in utter wreck.
Come down, Mr.. Black
You are not the choice of this Dis
trict and you know it.
Come down
Concerning his own affairs every
man is conclusively presumed to have
knowledge of those facts which, by
using ordinary diligence, he could
ascertain.
Applying this rule Of law to our
friend Jim Black, who is a lawyer,
we charge him with knowing:
a. That the registered vote of
this District shows him to be in a
hopeless minority,
(2) That the registration books of
his own county contain at least 1900
fraudulent and fictitious names.
(3) That his campaign managers
have already sent typewriter orders
to the Registrars in the country
counties, instructing them to scale
down the country lists TO meet the
necessities Of the situation.
az That a scheme is on foot to
throw out everp negro who may have
owned a pig or calf years ago
which pig or calf was not returned
for tax although the books may
show that said negro has paid all his
taxes.
~ That in some counties where
the Populists are ia heavy majority,
the Democratic Registrars openly say
that they will examine the Lists as
far as they can, and that they will
then.t throw out all names they have
have not had the time to examine.
CO. That in Jefferson county on the
day Mr.. Watson spoke at Louisville,
more than one hundred Populists
were present asking to be registered,
and the Tax Collector with his book
was in a distant part of the county
in manifest violation OF the law which
required that the books should always
be open at the county site.
~ That the only way for the
Democrats to give the majority to
Mr.. Black is to insolently violate the
law, trample upon the people and
thus provoke a brave people who
have already endured outrage until
they are wellnigh maddened.
Let Mr.. Black use his eyes-his
senses.
Let him find out what is going on.
Let him realize how far Boykin
Wright is driving him from the an
chorage of safety, honor and right?
Come down, brother Black
Il
And Fred Lockhart says that he
has seen Mr.. Black tested in all the
ways that prove consistency, in
tegrity, courage of conviction, &c.
Fred says that Mr.. Black has stood
all the tests.
Fred evidently yearns with gold
bug fondness toward a Congressman
when he breaks free silver pledge.
Fred is evidently "bucket-shop"
sympathiser who admires Congress
man who smashes platform promise
to vote against gambling in futures.
Fred evidently dotes on a candi-
date who gets elected as Jeffer-
sonian Democrat, and then, on the
floor of Congress, advocates the re-
tirement of Greenback money and
the substitution of National bank
notes.
Fred obviously warns affection
ately toward Sunday-school Lee
turer and Baptist lay-preacher, VINO

Campaign Echoes from the Tenth


know it. A more helpless piece of
humanity, it would be hard to find.
How the Democrats can have any
heart to work for a man who wont
work for himself, is more than we
can understand.
We have got the fight completely
whipped.
We have registered just as many
Populist votes as were cast in 1894.
| The Democrats have not only reg
istered fewer votes in every county
in the District, but they are short
some 5000 in Richmond alone.
Then how can the Democrats win
without wholesale robbery?
| The fights whipped, and Mr.. Black
ought to come down.
They cried fraud on us in Colum oia
county where the vote stood some
two thousand out of possible twenty
two hundred.
This year we register as many
Populists in Columbia az voted there
in 1894, and no man pretends that
any Augusta "heeling" was done.
The Democrats do not show up on
the registry lists, and whatever dis
crepancy there is between the regis
tered vote of Columbia county in
1895 and the unregistered vote of
1894, will be on the Democratic side.
This proves one of two things ::
either the Democrats have not cared
to register in 1895, or they put in a
lot of illegal votes in 1894.
Columbia county is all right.
But Richmond?
In spite of the marvellous crop of
q year olds, MIR. Blacks home county
tails short some 5000 votes of the
monstrous record of 1894.
If Mr.. Black gets the certificate
this time, Noah's sons will have to
be called in once more; and the
supply of quilts, blankets, cloaks, and
other "covering" apparatus must be
considerably increased,
To the Hon. William Fl. Fleming ::
SWEET WILLIAM,
Did you ever hear tell of the man
who deliberately made and set q trap
to catch his enemy-and caught his
friend?
If SO please refer us to the book
and page. We think it will be mighty
interesting reading just as this time
when the Registration Law is draw
ing its tightening coil around the fat
and pulpy form of our friend Jim
Black.
David and Goliah
Yes: in 1882 our friend Jim Black
compared himself to David commits
stoned and inspired of God.
Compared the Augusta Ring and
other Georgia Democratic Rings, to
Goiah-commlssioned and inspired
of the Devil
Said he was come forth with his
sling to slay said Ring.
Hearing which noble clarion-voice
of defiance to Goliah, all of Gods
Israel rejoiced exceedingly, and
cheered on our doughty David.
Poor little man he flung pebble
or two: missed his aim: Goliah
roared: David ran: scooted as fast
as his pudgy little legs would carry
him: beloved like a calf at every
step for fear Goliah would eat him
up: and reappesred on the field of
battle shortly afterwards as one of
Goliah's chosen band: wears the
uniform, now, of the Philistines
shouts the battle-cry of the Philis-
tines; and $50 far as he fights at alD
sings rocks at his former friends.
Denounces them as a "craven
crowd" "miserable hypocrites," "pre-
tenders to virtue"
Somehow, we rather think that a
consistent Goiah is not much worse
than a recreant David.
Nopoa down Mr. Plank
