AN OBJECT LESSON
The Bitter Experience of Fusion il
North Carolina

Atlanta Constitution.
The review of the social and
political conditions exi,ting in North
Carolina, published in the Constitu-
ton last Sunday, has had wonder
ful effect in opening the eyes of the
people of Georgia to a danger which
threatens them.
Out of the political fusion between
the Popnlists and negroes in North
Carolina has grown "a demoraliZa-
ton which blights not only public
matters, with nausr ating scandal
and corruption, but touches the
home and insults the mothers, wives,
daughters and sisters of the state.
The whole system of state, county
and municipal administration is
veined with extravaganza, dishOn-
esty, Incompetence and moral de-
pravity which outcrops everywhere.
Strange as it may sound, minority
of ignorance rules majority of in
telligence-and rules viciously.
White men in Georgia are advising
fusion in this state between Populists
and negroes. To the intelligent
conscientious, honest Populists, we
So Loch ou ANOEth SuIoIlud anu
see what fusion has wrought y
These barterers in office, who woIld
traffic in spoiis, would have you aid
them with your vote and voice tC
overthrow white supremacy and
decent government here, and raise In
their place negro domination with
all that follows in it's train. We dc
not believe that the masses of the
peoples party will lend themselves
to such dastardly conspiracy
against the good name of their state
and he safety and happiness of their
own homes.
The Constitution today, reviewing
the situation in Georgia, applies the
lesson taught by bitter experience to
the people of her sister state.

" ELCOME BACK.
Many Populists Returning to Their
Mother Party.

Mother Party.
Milton Herald.
We are glad to note that many OF
our Populist friends are coming back
to their mother party. We have
always had the utmost respect for
those who differ with us in opinion,
when we think they are honest in
their belief, and We thinn that the
majority OF those who have com
posed the Peoples party were honest
gentlemen. We watched with a sad
heart, believing them to be making
mistake, when they left the Demo
cratic party and organized one
themselves, but we thought thev
were honest in it, We watched with
a sadder heart when they fused with
the Republicans, knowing that they
would only be ridden TO the funeral
and death of all their hopes, and still
believing that they had been blinded
and deluded by their leaders. We
believe that they were honest, as a
BODY, when they co-operated with
the Republican party. But now that
| the veil has been rent and they g8z:
/! with open eyes into the chasn yawn
| ing at their feet, and see the awiu
darkness into which they have nearly
plugged the State, after seeing anc
realizing this, they continue theil
needless course, cooperating anc
fusing with party whose principles
are directly antegonistic to theil
| own, and whose only interest is il
securing their aid in eIecting men tt
office, we say, that after knowing
this, they again fuse with aud worl
for the Republican party, then W
will be forced to admit that our con-
fidence has been misplaced and de-
stroyed. But the large number wh'
are coming back to the shelterins
wing of the Democratic party attes
that we were not mistaken, and tina
the time is soon coming when W
shall all gather round the tiresid
and hold joyful family reunion.

Observation-Disclosures.

The instinct, or whatever it is that
guides carrier pigeons, is wonderful.
A remarkable instance of this occurred
recently. A gentleman in Washing

Glenn, of this city, and after it had
been here two or three weeks it escaped
and made it's way safely to the start
ing point. Later, the gentleman re-
turned the pigeon to Ashton.

A Remarkable Conversion.
N awhern Jo1rnal

A rabid Russellite was yesterday
sleeping the sleep which sometimes
comes to the unjust as we'll as the just.
While he was in the land of dreams
his young son, who proudly boasts of
his Democracy, pinned a White Gov
eminent button on the lapel of his { the
father'Sl coat. When the Russellite
awoke from his nap he observed the
button and of course proceeded to in
vestigate. When he learned that his
own son was responsible for the but
ton being On him, he shed tears of
bitterness, and feelingly announced
that in the future he would be a white
man in fact as we'll as in name. This
is true story!

St. Petersburg Journals Hint at Its
abandonment.


ST. PETERSBURG, Sept.sS In view
Of the irritation in France, the
politicians and newspapers are seek
ing to represent the Cars peace
circular in a new light.
They urge that it has been miscon-
strued and asserted that the imperial
government never contemplated the
immediate convOcation of confer
ence, being fully aware Of the Difficult
ties in the way. 1t was only hoped,
they continue, to sow good seed which
would gradually terminate and bear
fruit when circumstances are more
favorable.
These utterances are regarded as
indicating, owing particularly to the
attitude of France, that the failure of
the Cars proposal is fOreseen and
public opinion is being prepared for

Juvenile soldiers.

The war fever has become epidemic
among the youth of Little Rock. A
crowd OF youngsters in that city organ
ized company and went into camp in
suburb. Drills were held regularly,
and sham battles were of almost daily
occurrence in which the Spanish
forces were always compelled to flee
70 some woodshed or barn for safety
from the terrible onslaught" of their
ioes. The boys secured a supply of
blank cartridges. but this harmless
method OF warfare did not satisfy some
OF the soldiers, and loaded shells were
substituted by them. As a result the
damage done to window panes and glass
doors IN the camps vicinity caused com.
plants TO be lodged at police head
quarters against the boys, and officers
were forced to break up the camp.
