Poor White Trash.
z. WATSON.

In slavery times the negroes develop
ed a curious pride in belonging to rich
men, A slave who lived on plantation
where there we're hundred slaves con-
sidered himself very much above the ne
gro who belonged to white man who
could afford only half a dozen slaves.
Those white people who owned no
slaves at all were held in contempt by
the negroes, and were alluded to as
poor white trash
hear the phrase.
Some weeks ago, the Hon Leonidas
Livingston, in conversation with some
gentlemen at Fairburn, stated that the
disfranchisement amendment to the Con-
stitution of the State ought to be defeat
ed, because they (meaning the Demo
crats) would need the negro vote to beat
Watson and the Populists.'
The Hon. Leonidas proceeded to ex-
plain that the negroes regarded the Popu-
lists as poor white trash" and would,
naturally, vote against them.
When the Hon. Leonidas was holding
forth in this manner, he supposed all
the gentlemen who were listening to him
were his supporters and that none of
them would repeat what he said where it
might give him trouble. The unexpected
happens in Livingston's district, however,
just as it does in others, and several of
the men who listened to him were so in
dignant at what he said that they re-
ported it. Mr. Mayson's friends began
to use it against Livingston, and, of
course, it began to do the Hon. Leonidas
much harm Therefore, he got a number
of his friends to sign circular to counter
act the Mayson circular. Of all the lame
circulars that we have ever seen, the Liv-
ingston circular is the lamest.
Mr.. S. H. Brantley, who signs him
self as Mayor" of the metropolis of
Fairburn, is one of those who states that

THE JEFFERs ONIAN.

Livingston did use the words: "poor
white trash," but he says "those words
were used against the foreign criminals,
as they are called by the negroes, and
against none other"
Now, when and where did the negroes
of the South ever apply the words poor
white trash" to foreign criminals? When
have the negroes ever found it necessary
to coin any nickname for foreign GRIM
inals? What do the negroes know, or
care, about foreign criminals? Who is
this foreign criminal, anyhow? What
means have the negroes, or the Mayor
and merchants of Fairburn of determin-
ing which are the criminals among our
foreign immigrants? Anybody who knows
anything about the matter knows that the
"poor white trash" to whom Livingston
alluded were the poor white men of this
State whose friend Livingston used to
pretend to be.
It was the vote of "poor white trash"
which helped to put him into Congress.
It is by the vote of "poor white trash"
that he has been enabled to stay there
for eighteen years.
No wonder he and his friends were
struck with CONSERVATION when they
learned that his contemptuous reference
to the poor white people of the State of
Georgia had been made public.
The attempt of Mr.. Mayor Brant1ev
and the merchants of Fairburn to make
it appear that Livingston, in speaking
of "poor white trash" meant foreign
criminals, is an insult to the intelligence
Of the people of this State, and a dis
credit to themselves

stuffed with as many fraudulent votes as
are needed.
The city of-Augusta can absolutely per-
petuate herself in Congress, if this new
rule becomes fixture. The. city po1iti-
clans can always put up a candidate who
will be able to divide the county vote
naturally and legally their advantage will
be immense under this new rule consider
then what temptation and opportunity
there is to make this advantage decisive,
by feeding the ballot boxes with few
hundreds Or thousands of bogus bal1ots
If we were in Tom Hardwick's shoes,
we would look very cross-eyed at that
new rule
The first thing he knows, those Au-
gusta fellows will do him a job
In the Savannah district, it will be the
same way. The country counties will
have no chance against the big city, and
its inevitable element of purchasab1e
voters, its INSCRIPTIONS ward-hee1ers, it's
ballot-box suffers, and it's high-minded
candidate who will receive the stolen
goods knowing them to have been stolen
In the Macon district, the Macon man
will always win; and so in the Atlanta
district, the Rome district, the Gaines
willie district, the Albany district, and the
others. The city man will win, unless the
country counties fight the devil with fire.
In that event, we shall have carnival Of
political fraud corruption and crime,
In the Tenth District, during the
Black-Watson campaigns, it would have
been very easy for the Popu1ists to have
stuffed the boxes in those nine counties
which we controlled. But we said, when
that plan was suggested "No! Reform
ers can not commit frauds to defeat
frauds. Rather than lower the standard
of morality in the Tenth District we will
let Augusta have the Congressman.
The stuffed boxes and Boykin Wright
practically disfranchised the nine country
counties.
Now that Boykin is one of Hoke's lieu
tenants, the same game can be played
against the whole state. And the country
counties will have to submit, or go into
the stuffing business themselves!
Will these country counties, and their
ambitious young town politicians, sub
NIT to the frauds, as we did in the Tenth
district? Hardly. Every town has its
aspiring young nen-able, energetic re-
sourceful If they find that the Rings of
the four big cities are stuhing ballot
boxes, we greatly fear that the dropsical
habit will become epidemic and chronic

FEAR ANARCHY
IN MOROCCO
SHOULD DEFENDER BECOME DE
FAcTo RULER HE WILL BE
RECOGNIZED BY FRANCE AND
OTHER COUNTRIES.

Paris, Jan. l3--lt is feard that the
proclamation of Mulai Hafiz, as sui
tan will be followed by long period
OF anarchy and discord and that order
can only be restored and maintained
by considerable reinforcements Of
French troops at Casablanca and the
posts on the Algerian frontier.
Some fear is also felt at Tangier
that there may be massacre OF
Europeans as result of the procla.
nation OF holy war and the conse-
seanent stirring up or the tribesmen
against Europeans and all other un.
believers. Ii remains to be seen whe-
Their Mulai Haiz has sufficient infu.
ence over the Southern tribesmen to
keep them in order and convince the
European nations that he has the con
.fidenee Of the people in greater de-
gree than the deposed ruler, Abdul
Hamid
Should the new sultan succeed in
asserting his authority over the coun-
try and become de facto ruler. he
win, no doubt, be recognized as such
'by France and the other European
powers, but it is not to be expected
that France will undertke the con
quest aof Morocco or that she will
allow any other power to do so. Ae-
cofdingly, from force OF cricum-
stances, misrule must prevail there
tor long time TO come, Public opin
len In France Is quite Indifferent as
to what happens in the interior of
Morocco. so lcng as no other power
obtains foothold there.
1.-The presence of NJ. Pichon. the
French minister OF foreign affairs in
Madrid. is considered opportune as
enabling France and Spain, the two
countries most interested in Morocco
as its next door neighbors, to arrange
for common action in cracking this
new nut presented TO European diplo-
macy by the advent of Sultan Mulai
Hafiz.
