The fee that the Auditor gets

a plenty to those concerned, by
adding on fees and penalties, and
some of our sheriffs are not slow at
the business either, when it comes
to helping outthe party organ. In.
this county, the Gazette, the Re-
publican organ gets one d0lzaa. for
each tract, lot or parts of tract adj
vertised as delinquent lands, while
the Register fled with the sheriff
proposition to do the same work
for tecentst cents tract, thereby
saving to the man who could re-
deem his lands so cents on each

osition was never considered. We
have published the delinquent land
tax list a good many times, since
we have been in the newspaper

above that amount is an cxtortion.

The recent elections indicate that
the Democratic cause is gaining in
every section of the land.
This means that VIM. j. Bryan
win be the next President of the
United States. He will receive
the nomination of the next nation
al convention on the first ballot.
It is doubtful if any other name
will be offered to the convention.
TITS really comical, however, to
watch the gyrations of the syndi-
cate papers and boiler plate editors
in their endeavors TO create a feel
ing among the people against Bry-
an, and try to make out that he
will be side-tracked in 1900. In
the language of the editor of the
State Gazette, these editors do not
..belieye their own rot" they only
talk this way to keep up their
courage.
The Republican press is busily
engaged in straining out gnats of
human misfortune in foreign lands
calling it prosperity at home,
while they swallow the camels Of
bigoted pedantry, among which is
the blind belief that the Dingley
Bill has created an agricultural
God who Furnishes the people of
the South by giving them 8 cent
cotton, while it pIeases the farmer
of the North by giving him 7ocent
wheat-this is the Paganism of the
Republican party.
