Locks bright In Knox.


Among the callers at the republican state
headquarters today was o. r. Robinson OF
Niobrara. Knox county. who has the dis
t~inctlon Of being the Jung sheriff in
the state, being Just 2s years old. Mr..
Robinson was one Of the o1hcers In the First
regiment Of volunteers and has for years
been one Of the foremost Of the young re-
pubiicans Of Knox county.
People up our way have begun to mani
fest interest IN politics and / feel safe In
predicting that the county will give an in
creased majority to the republican candi-
dates" said Mr.. Robinson. That ie saying
q good deal for Knox county, for until re-
Gently Il was IN the fusion column with
9 big difference against US. In 1895 the
county gave the Bryan electors $40 ma
5ority. In 1900 the majority for the Bryan
electors was 20. That shows what pros
porous times and republican enIsghtenment
has done up there. but stfl 10 doesn't tell
the whole story. Until last year the
fusIonists had complete control Of the
county government. Now the republicans
hold every county once except coroner and
superintendent Of SCHOOLS.

effective work throughout the district and

A IACKSONlAN DEMOCRAT.

iark! hear distant rumblng; a
mighty sound like the moving of heavy
artillery. Look, do you see the clouds
OF dust touring heaVenwards, and climb
ing higher and higher and higher to-
wards the fixed stars beyond the galaxy
or milky way, likened unto an electric
storm playing havoc and carrying con-
sternation in its front and desolatiOn in
its rear. AS it approaches nearer and
nearer we can see the cursed steel from
half million unsheathed swords with
their golden glitter sparkling in the
sunlight; these swords are in the hands
of mighty host coming from the plains
of the north and east like Pharoah army
persuing the children Of Israel as they
were fleeing from Egyptian bondage.
This is the consumation of that rs, 90
banquet dinner held on Wall street
of very recent date, which means the
re. organization of the democratic party.
Now, see that there was Bryan ban
quet in Chattanooga last week at Sl.00

too cheap, it gave too much access to
the jacklegs. If 1t had been a $500
dinner it would have debarrsd the in
significant.
Now, l believe Mr.. Allison will cer-
tainly be elected, and one among the
many reasons whi am so strongly for
him, is that he opposed that anarchy
up at Whitwell and the upper end of
the county.
Mr. Price has changed his announce
ment and now makes it "SHbject to the
will of the people," don't believe be

six men would have been sufficient to
have nominated him. | aim to see that
he has the race anyway, and run on un-

We have our county convention Satur-
day the Goth, and we want the ring to

INGRATITUDE.

AS the years roll by the ranks of
those who served with distinction in
the great civil war are slowly but sure
ly deciminSting. Each successive year
makes additional vacancies and in a
few more years we can only speak of
them who fought for southern rights as
those that were. They will soon all be
gone, Then we can no longer hear
these old confederates tell of their hair
breadth escapes and thrilling adVen-
lures of the greatest war that history
records. Noble, valiant and brave they
were, and as age creeps upon them their
hair becomes gray, and their once state
ly forms become bent aud decrepit.
This should only tend to increase rev.
erence, strengthen our esteem and deep
en- our gratitude for those who buckled
on armOr. shouldered their muskets and
bid homo and loved ones a fearful fare
we'll and went to the scenes of conflict
and fought long and hard for consttu-
tional right.
But there is a spirit of ingratitude
among the young men of the south that
is becoming more prevalent every day.
Too many young men in their ambition
to gain distinction and fill positions of
honor, ignore the rights and privileges
of others who wore the gray. This
fS1 1timent was voiced not long ago by a
young man who was candidate for an
Office when he said that it was time for
these old confederate soldiers to step
down and out and give young men their
places.
But there is particular act of in
gratitude that | will speak of which de-
serves the condemnation of all sons of
confederates. 1t is that of NJ. N. Whit
aker toward Captain Donaldson in the
present contest for the attorney-gener-
Alship After serving for number OF
years under the Captain, whore he had
the benefit of his wise counsel and his
fatherly supervision, when the cam
paign opened for the election of Attor-
nby-General, and Capt. Donaldson be-
came candidote and had been promis-
ed Mr.. Whitaker's support, instead OF
doing so, he, like Brutus, allied him
self with the Captains opponents and
conformed himself into a conspirator,
and gained for himself the nomination
which should have been given to Capt.
ain Donaldson. Then no doubt the
Captain thought as did the great Caesar
of old, "Et Ju, Brute" and thou, Bru-
t9s, hast forsakeu me.
This on the part of Mr.. Whitaker, is
nothing less than an expression OF the
grossest ingratitude, and should be con-
demned by everyone who cherishes the
names Of those who fought so bravely
for the Lost Cause"
