STATE PRINTERS AGAIN.
TaEY WRITE A LETTER TO STATE
SECRETARY COKE.
The Ratification Of the Revenue Act
Causes All of the Trouble-What
the Secretary of State Has to
Say About the Matter.

In this weeks issue of the Pro-
gressive Farmer appears the follow
ing letter, dated July 10Th, from the
Public Printers, Messrs. Stewart
Bros, of this city, to State Secretary
Coke, which explains itself:
DEAR SIR:-Replying to your two
kilograms iDquiring as to ratification
of "Revenue Act" we wish to inform
You that we have had the tissue copy
looked up and have inquired fully into
all the incidents leading up to the
placing of chapter 116 in the Public
Laws.
D'We find first, that the "Reyenue
US, unnumbered according to the
figures of your own Office as 4G6, and
that the date or ratification clause
only appears at the close Of the Ma
chiDery Act portion of it, and it was
treated as one act, and it so appears
in the 5000 edition edition of pam
phlets containing that act which we
furnish your office.
I'VE find second, that when the act
came so be placed in the volume of
laws, having had the express state
ment from Mr.. Bachelor that we
could arrange and number the chap
tiers to suit ourselves. an effort was
made to follow the style OF makeup
observed in the laws of 1898, and the
revenue act was placed in the volume
as chapter 1l6, with two small acts
following it, and preceding the ma
chinery act, which was made chapter
119. Surprising this to be the proper
style in which it should appear, and
treating it as part Of No. 466, which
it's number shows it to be, and which
the head lines on the tissue prints
show, when they style both the Reve-
nue. and the Machinery act as blouse
Bill 1885," we instructed the author
lied date of ratification placed at the
end of each chapter.
Trusting this will give you the in
formation you seek, and assuring you
that our copy in no case differs from
the copy you furnished us, the origi
nal of which we presume is now on
file in your Office, we beg to be as
usual, Very truly yours,
M. I. s. j. Q. STEWART,

ATLANTA GA, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 25, 1895.

the Democrats), at the conclusion of a
Populist meeting of colored voters of
Washington and Jefferson counties,
HELD AT NIGHT That is why l could
not get the NEGRO out at night" Fur
thermore, it is cur1 emily reported in
Washington county that this midnight
assassin, who died recently, confessed,
upon his death bed, that he was hired
colored speakers who was advocating
Mr.. Watson's election At "a Democratic
judicial investigation of this assassina-
ton of Populist by a Democrat the
accused was acquitted. Another reason
why I couldn't get the negro out at
night" l have a few more reason of
the same sort applicable to other coun-
ties. Do you want them
~
The Chronicle says: "The Demo-
Gratis in Washington county say the
negroes are tired of Watson and his
unfulflled promises. The negroes,
who ought to know more about it than
the Democrats, told me they were
tired of the Democrats having them
killed, and afraid to meet in political
meeting at night in consequence of the
fulfilling of the promise made by the
Democrat who killed John Hall.
Feel that knot on back of my head :?
1t is the result of a fall from fainting
fit l experienced upon reading in the
Augusta Herald that the receipts OF the
PEOPLES PARTY PAPER cannot be less
than forty thousand dollars" Oh, my,
what a liar the Herald is. First, it
said Mr.. Black was assisted by his
friends to the polls and deposited his
ballot for the Democratic nominee.
Second, it said: MIR. Black did not
vote at all and denounced any one who

Gave Birth to Five Children,

DEBATE, O., Oct. 15.-Mrs. John
Langdon, the wife of a farmer living
near here, gave birth yesterday, with
in space of three hours, to five chill
dren, all of them males. For time
the unique event was given no cred
ence. Investigation, however, con-
firmed the report. The five children
are apparently fully developed, though
frail specimens of humanity, and the
attending physician believes they will
all live. Mrs. Langdon has expert
enced no serious results from the ex-
tlaordinary accouchment. She is past
35 years and has three other children.
She weighs 40 pounds and her nus
band 1866.

The LEGISLATURE
AND STATE ALLIANCE CON.
VENE IN ATLANTA.
IMPORTANT LEGISLATION.
The Former WrestIes With the
Registration Law, the Latter
With the Exchange Fund.

On Wednesday the Legislature and
State Alliance convened in regular
session. The Legislature met at the
appointed hour, passed a few resolu-
tions and adjourned for the day. Thew
draw q milage of ten cents mile from
the State Treasury, and free passes
from the Railways as also a per diem
OF four dollars from the State. Hence
they are in no hurry to dispatch
business. For them the Cleveland
PAL ade and the Midway present attrac-
tions superior to any that can be found
at the Capitol.
The farmers draw no milage, no per
diem and no free passes. They also
met at the appointed hour and imme-
diately buckled down to business.
May be business has greater a traction
for them or may be they have no spare
funds to invest in the seductive mvster-
ries of the Midway. Among the ques-
tions of most general interest coming
before the Legislature will be the
ANTI Barroom Bill" and the Regis
tration Law. The outcome of the
former is in doubt, with odds in favor
OF the Bill, but it is certain that the
Bill will not go through without hard
fight
AS tothe latter, there is no doubt
but that the masses of the people with
out regard to party, desire far and
honest elections, but the democratic
politicians and office holders know that
an honest vote would sweep them out
of place and power.
They control both houses of the Leg.
| islature as we'll as the Executive veto.
and our fai h in the old baptist doctrine
of human depravity is too strong to
permit our hopes of securing an hon
est and fair Election Law to assure a
/ very roseate hue.
The most knotty question before the
farmers is to determine what TO do
with the remnants of the Exchange
Fund The question will likely elicit
| earnest discussion.

The lawlessness of the Creek Indians,
who fled from middle Georgia to the
banks of the Chattahoochee river, seems
TO have been impaired to the present
denisons of Muscogee county. There
has been two vacancies in public offices
in that county since the Georgia Legis-
lature passed Bill Flemings disfran-
chisement act, called a Registration
Law. One of the vacancies was occas-
stoned by the death of the Sheriff-the
other vacancy was caused by the death
of Representative Morgan McMichael.
The Democrats of Muscogee ignored
Fleming's law in the election to fill
these vacancies, The illegally elected
Sheriff is discharging the duties of his
Office, all the same as if he had been
legally elected. While the newly cleo
ted Repres John d. Little was
sworn in as a member of the Georgia
Legislature with all the solemnity that
usually accompan es the taking of the
oath by a legally elected Representa-
tive. Great is Georgia Democracy !!
They can't frame law that they will
respect after they enact it.

said he did as liar-did not use the
word ''liar,' but one that meant liar.
Now it says "McGregor has the easiest
snap he ever had; gets nice salary for
his newspaper work, much more than
the Herald pays any of it's staff or
words to the same effect. Again, it
says watson has seventeen thousand
subscribers to his paper at one dollar
each-sevepteen thousand dollars" All
this in face Of the fact that the Herald
has been gratuitously advertising that
THE PEOPLES PARTY PAPER could be
obtained at so cents per year instead of
one dollar! Oh my, my, my, what an
incompatible liar the Herald has de.
veloped into "McGregor is very fond

DEAR Tow Got here Monday. Had
a small meetiI g at Limestone Spring,
and made appointment for same place
Saturday night, Little better luck last
night at Hall Cross Roads. Have an
appointment for Monday night in Wo-
macks.
/ find the rank and file firm, brave
and anxious to whip the fight. They
needtleaders and directions. Can't get
the negroes out at night. My plan to
carry this county by 500 is to mass every
available man in Sanderville on Octo.
Der End, by sun up. Take possession
of the town and polls and vote every
negro the Democrats haul there. Itcan
be done under their law, and the bows
here are willing and anxious to do the
work. 1t will be using the stick they
cut for our head against them. If we
can do this we can send telerrams ev-
| cry hour to Augusta having watson
leading at Sandersville, and blast the
expectation of Wright 4. Company, if it
does not demoralize their workers at
the Augusta polls.
| We can carry this county by 500 ma
| lority if the above move can be per-
| fected. Yours truly.
| c. e. MCGREGoR.
The above is the letter which has
created demand for the Augusta
Chronicle. l wrote every line of it.
The program of the Democrats as given
to me was to carry the negroes from
the Populist precincts to the precinct
at the county cite and vote them. To
counterfeit this | advised our white
voters to meet the Democrats at their
own game. That five or six hundred
of them rendezvous at Sandersville and
see that the negro had an opportunity
to vote as his individual choice dictated.
| advocated this publicly, and couu-
seled against any Populist CARRYING
even pistol or drop of liquor. The
Democrats from sonae cause not known
TO me- abandoned the herdinc Of this
negroes at Sandersville, and thus pre-.
vented the necessity of our men going
to Sandersville. The day of BULLDOG
ing the Populists has passed in the
! Tenth district, and the Democrats ont
side of Richmond and Hancock coun-
ties, am glad to say, so act. 1t will
be blessed day for Georgia when the
men who control the Democratic party
in those two counties, abandon bull
doing and thieving tactics. l am sat
isfied that the readiness of the Popu-
lists OF Washington county to peace
ably enforce their rights, had salu-
tory effect upon the handful of Demo-
Gratis who desired to secure victory at
any price A comparison of the vote
of the Sandersville precinct with
former elections will show that INC
Gregor's plan" had quite healthy
effect.
