STOLE $4,000; PAID BACK 10000
A CONsCIENCE--sTRICK DEFRAUDER
MAKES RESTITUTION TO THE GOV
EMINENT.

Secretary Carlisle yesterday re
ceived two letters, each postmarked
New York city, September 20, adj
dressed in the same hand writing.
One envelope contained eight 800
bills, about which was placed some
white paper; and the other contained
seven 800 bills wrapped in a letter.
This letter, written on a page of
foolscap paper without signature,
says;
"This money is the balance of
$4,000 which I have refunded to the
Government in the last thirty years.
During the war I defrauded the Gov
eminent of $4,000, and now | have
returned double the amount. Dur
ing Mr.. Wanamaker's being in office
sent him money twice-once, $4,000;
but have never heard whether it
went into the proper hands or not. |
can assure you that this refunding
has cost me more then pen can tell,
and pity the thief, because I have
experienced what he must feel, either
here or hereafter. Would to God
that He would now pardon my sin
and let me go free. Don't you think
double refunding sufficient ?"
United States Treasurer Morgan
received letter from the same per-
son. It reads:
"This money belongs to the Gov
eminent. 1t is part of $4,000 sent
this day. l have notified Secretary
Carlisle Of sending it to you. Part
was sent to Secretary Carlisle, part
to the Assistant Treasurer at New
York, and part to you"
Treasurer Morgan received six
800 bills with this letter.

He asked exactly what the peop
of Georgia wanted to know. ~
1t does seem to me that the
has come when people are no IL
Democrats, of COURSE" at leaS@
in this one State of the South.
They are beginning to demand
reason for being Democratic think
of political parties as one would think
of rival grocers, and would prefer
the grocer that gave the best meas
ure at the most modrate price. It's
a matter of business and common
sense, of individual opinion and per-
sonal preference.
One Democrat, with good reasons
for being a Democrat, is worth a
dozen Democrats, of course" The
point l make is that the Northern
wing of the party, if they expect the
South to continue Democratic, must
furnish good reasons why the South
should be Democratic-good, bust
ne6S-llKe, common sense reasons.
The name-the mere name-has
lost its charm and its power with
some persons.
1t was the countersign once at the
outgates of white supremacy and
honest State government. The War
is over; the lines of battle are gone,
and the regiments disbanded; the
breastworks are plowed under and
are white with cotton-white su-
premacy and honest government are
matters of course.
Who says countersign now?
The Democratic party must live,
but it must live and will live for rea-
sons good and sufficient.

LIVES LOST IN ARKANSAS.

LITTLE Rock, ARK, October L
A terrific storm swept over Arkansas
Thursday night, leaving death and
destruction in its path. One death
from fright is reported.
In Union county several houses
were blown down, four women were
killed outright and several persons
were seriously injured.
In the vicinity of Preston, Faux
ner county, the storm blew over
number of houses and killed two
persons.

CLEVELAND MAKES THEM SICK.
ATLANTA HERALD AS GOOD AS SAYS THAI
B. NJ BLACKBURN WAS "TREATED
WORSE THAN A NIGER

ATLANTA HERALD AS GOOD AS SAYS THAT
B. NJ BLACKBURN WAS 'TREATED
WORSE THAN A NIGGER.'
Mr.. Blackburn was a Cleveland
champion at a time when others who
have obtained office were flirting with
the "western man," and as a Cleve-
land presidential elector did earnest
work in the campaign. Mr.. Cleye-
land knows him intimately but for
reasons yet to come out Mr.. Black
burn has been side tracked.
1t does seem that a Democratic
president who appointed negro
like Charles H. j. Taylor to $4,000
place as Minister to Bolivia, a white
mans country, could find a better
place for Georgia elector than a
yellow fever station in Cuba or a
home among the blacks in the West
Indies at half Taylor's salary.

mot VETS" AND OTHER THINGS
Atlanta Herald.
"Not yet"


"Not yet"
edo you know what that is ?"
A Southeast Georgian, a promi-
nent politician, says that his section
of the State is full of "not yets."
l.asliiiisss>-+ernaiea.. tlws one IN Atlanta, I
think, but 1t Sc. inc political vocab-
ulary to stays It's significant. It
expresses exactly new condition, as
perhaps no other word can do.
At any rate, you'll hear the word
often in the near future, and an ex-
PLANTATION of it now may be timely.
Somebody had asked about the
condition of the Democratic and
Third parties in the country about
Brunswick, and the reply was:
'sIt's hard to say just now. The
country is full of mot vets There
are more of them than of Democrats
and Third partyites together"
"Not yets!" ohorussed the audi
ence. What is mot yet?''
"Why," was the surprised answer,
"don't you know what that means !?
The word applies to people kept in
the Democratic ranks by sort of
protest, relying on promises for the
last time, drifting into the Third
party but not yet cut loose from the
Democracy-going, going, but not
yet gone"
"You say there are lots of them u"
"Staoks and cords of them"
"What are they doing?"
"They are going, going, but not
gone, 1 tell you. They are watching
for the ful6llment of these Demo
cratic promises. They are waiting
in the hope that the Democratic par
ty will redeem its pledges, determined
to go out if those pledges are not re-
deemed"
"You say they are going?"
"Yes-almost gone. The general
impression among them is chat the
Democratic administration is repudi-
ating the Democratic platform"
Even so staunch Democrat as the
war horse from Douglas is talking
" ifs and ands these days.
Something's got to be done," he
said yesterday. "There have been
five counties to act since the last gen.
eral election. -Four of those county
elections resulted in favor of the
Third party. The other one don't
count, for a man like Milt Gambler
you'd be elected in almost any coun-
ty on almost any ticket. But even
counting DeKalb as straight Demo-
cratic victory, ON square issue, it's
four to one against us"
1 have been surprised to find how
many people have read Governor
Northen's letter to Mr.. Cleveland and
the Presidents answer.
They are learning that correspon-
dence by heart out in the piney woods
and up in the mountains, and they
ire thinking about it.
Hoke Smith may be only minori-
" candidate if he runs for Senator
Is Democrat. 1t isn't dead GER
ain thing that even a solid Demo
ratio vote in the Georgia Legislature
will elect a Senator always.
The Governors letter is universally
egarded as at least a pertinent in
luiry-a proper and timely one.

TWO MORE OFFICES GONE.

WATKINsvILLE, GA, October A.
There was an election here today for
the purpose of filling the vacancies
caused by the deaths of both treas
urer and coroner.
George E. Griffith, Populist, was
the only candidate for treasurer, the
Democrats not running a candidate.
Samuel Fielding, j. S. Graves,
Democrats, and j. P. Elder, Popu-
list, are in the race for coroner. J.
P. Elder will, in all probability, be
elected. The Democrats are mani
testing no interest whatever. No
fight is being made on either side
and the vote is light.
Griffith is elected to succeed the
Democratic treasurer who was
elected last January. 1t will be re-
membered that in the State election
last fall this (Oconee) county went
for the Peoples party candidate by
nine majority. However, the tide
turned shortly after at the general
enthusiasm over the result of the
national election, and when the Jauu-
airy elections came on the Democrats
found themselves entrenched again
and in better spirits than they had
been for years.
But matters in Washington and
the general dissatisfaction at the adj
ministration's financial policy have
apparently knocked things into a
cooked hat once more.
