Most of our people be ieve in free CO. n

The Guards are trying to raise suffi

quire silver forthem to do so.
The goldbugs can have chance to
elect their candidate for sponsor, as at
the same time aad place will be elected
one sponsor for the guards.
The following young ladies have been
put in nomination, and it is merely a
question of gold as to which will secure
the honor nc cents vote, or 10 votes
for one gold dollar): Misses
Lizzie Lowrey, Annabel McLain,
Rushia Belle Geise and Susie Dill

SUICIDE TO DODGE SHAME.
A Buxom Country Girl Cuts Her Throat
From Ear to Ear.

A Buxom Country Girl Cuts Her Throat
From Ear to Ear.
A sad story, eliminating in tragedy,
comes from Worth county. Near the
little village of Doles lives highly re-
spected and prosperous farmer named
Henry Morues, the light of whose home
was his bright and winsome daughter,
Minnie, aged II years,
Though not possessing the graces that
come from shigh cultivation, Minnie
was, nevertheless, redolent in the charms
of buxom beauty, which proved, alas, as
ii too often does, her undoing. She
became in prospect mother, and, realiz
ing the appalling shame which such an
event would bring herself and family,
about 6 o'clock this morning she secured
her fathers razor, and putting it to her
throat, with the energy born of despair,
drew the keen blade through it from cal
to ear, severing the carotid artery and
dying in very short time. AS to who
Miss Morees' betrayer is is not definitely
known, but the community is up in arms
over the sad occurrence and would quick
ly visit vengeance on the conscientious
less scoundrel tho led her astray if he
were known.

THOSE OPEN LETTERS.
Comment Upon Some Recent Political Cor
respOndence.

EespOnOenC0s
From the Macon Evening News.
In refusing to accept Judge Griggs'
offer Mr.. Walters publishes an open let
ter, which, in our humble opinion, reflects
no credit upon himself. In the first
place, the letter in question will impress
any dislnterested mind as being entirely
unprovoked, either by the nature of the
issue between the writer thereof and
Judge Griggs, or by anything that Judge
| Griggs has ever said or done.
| If the letter-itself does not seal Jesse
Walters fate with the silver men of his
| district, then the free silver mind is even
more dense than we thought. We are
not acquainted with Jesse Walters p0-
litical ability, but after reading his open
etter to Judge Griggs we can well i'm
agine that he is now taking his first les
son, or else he didn't learn thoroughly
what he went over We have never heard
any one accuse him of being a statesman.
| We don't believe his most ardent admireT
would claim that title for him in the face
Of the letter here alluded to.
To be quite frank, Jesse Walters is
simply guilty of doing the baby act, in a
political sense. He made proposition
looking to the withdrawal of either him
self or Judge Griggs, or both, and when
it was readily accepted, Though maybe
not in detail. just as offered) he positive
| ly refuses to submit his claims to board
of arbitrators, and in covering his retreat
from the position only shortly before as.
sumed turns his mud batteries on his
free silver opponent. So bitter, in fact,
does ne become that perusal of the let
ter is sufficient to establish the impress
sion that feeling of animosity must
aave been long cherished by the writer.

.ESIDLEY SPEAKS.
POPULIST RALLY INDAWSON SAT.
URDAY.
The Probable Populist Congressional Nom
4 inee Talks upon the Issues for
Two Hours.

- Hon. Jno. A. Sibley, populist of TT
ton, made speech at the court house in
Dawson Saturday. Four or five hundred
people were present, and were about
equally divided between populists and
democrats. Several came up on the
noon train from Clay and Randolph
counties to hear the speaking, among
them G. w. Craps and N. T. Crozier
Mr.. Sibley was introduced by Mr.. ,.
A. Gammage in brief, concise manner,
and forthwith proceeded to point out the
way in which the country may be sared
from what he thought to be impending
disaster and bankruptcy. The populist
platform and doctrine constituted the
main portion of his remarks. He claim
ed that no free silver clause could be
found in any democratic platform, but
that the candidates of tLis party had
stolen it from the populists and were en-
deavoring to ride into off 3e on it, realiz-
ing that the majority of the voters we're
in favor of the free and unlimited coin
age of silver. He touched upon the
populist idea of the control of the rail
roads by the government, and argued
this point at some length, failing, how
ever, to convince any one # its teasibil-
ity except, possibly, some ardent sup
porters of his party, who are in favor Of
anything and everything that opposed
| to democratic ideas.
The sentiment in our county beine
overwhelmingly democratic, Mr.. Sible>
has reason to congratulate himself upor
the close attention given his remarks
The speech lasted about two hours
and was not drawn cut to this length b!
applause, this feature of public address
rs being noticeably absent. There was
however, toward the close of the speech
soane evidence of enthusiasm amoni
a. pant of those present.
Judged from pOpulist standpoint tn
speech may be pronounced success
and a good argument.

DR. II. F. CARROLL, writing to the Forum,
says that by comparing the ratio of increase
of cOmmunicants with that of the popu-
lation Of the country, we find that the
advantage is with the churches. The
percentage Of increase in population for
the decade ending in 1890 was 21s6. Sup
posing it to be half of this for the past five
years, we have "A population of 70, 400, 900,
which is manifestly an exaggeration 1t is
hardly possible that, with the decreased
immi grafton of the first three or four years Of
the president decade, the percentage of in
crease of the previous decade has been main
tanned; bat, conceding that it has, and that
the rate is II, ,43, we lind this is far below
that Of the churches Their growth since
1890 has been at the rate of between 10 and 20
per cent. This corresponds to the rate of
Increase which the leading denominations
reported for the decade ending in 1880. The
rate for that period was ~ per cent, against
ahe 2l.s6 per cent. representing the net in
crease of the population. 1t is clear from
this that the churches are gaining ON the
population rapidly and steadily.
