The Supreme Impudence of Pussy

Did you ever know anything to equal Bill
Towards demand that those Democrats who
voted for Joe Brown, Democrat, be disfran-
chised?
Confound his insolence! How long has it
been since he went over to the Republicans
and voted with them in Congress?
And now he dares to demand that Demo
Gratis be outlawed for voting for Democrat
lmpudent rascal-he gave the Republicans
the Joe Cannon rules which enabled the stand
patters to pass the internal new tariff which
increased the cost of living nearly million
dollars day. VI
His desertion to the Republicans will cost
his country thousands of millions of dollars
yet he has the brazen effrontery to demand the
Acknowledgement of Democrats who voted
for Democrat to rebulze an unscrupuus lot

practices were on parallel line to the Liberty

M. S. Cornett and the $4,000

In the store of my friend Matt Hays, of
Thomson, man who had come directly from
that part of the State, made the assertion that
M. S. Cornett, of Lawrenceville, had used the
story about the alleged $4,000.
In my letter to Smith he was asked by me
if he had made any such statement to Cor
nett; and whether Cornett had not circulated
such charge.
Cornett published card in The Gwinnett
Journal, Saturday before the election on Tues
day, denouncing the statement as false-ac-
companied by an undated note signed u. A.
Bagwell,' denying knowledge Of the report.
In each instance where [ referred to the
accusation, it was distinctly stated that the
matter had come to my knowledge through
others; and it is certainly somewhat sus-
picious that Cornett restrained himself until
the last issue of the Lawrenceville Journal,
before the election.
Evidently, he was afraid to give me
chance to produce witnesses.

Why was he SO afraid to give me chance to
answer him in public, and before the election?

does, is none too good to circulate campaign

The Death OF Standardized Brow
ard of Florida

Since the untimely demise of Governor
johnson, OF Minnesota. our country has suf-
fered no loss more serious than that of Sen
ator-elect BroWard, of Florida In the very
prime of life and at the very threshold of
enlarged usefulness to their people, these
great men were called away.
In the hour when his voice was silenced
Governor Johnson was making the best
speeches that have been heard in the United.
States since the great school of antebellum
statesmen was closed by the Civil War. He
had fully grasped the idea that the capitalists
of the East had secured control of the ma
chlnery of government and were using it to
rob the great agricultural sections of the West
and South
"The time has come to throw off the
shacEles of the East" was the keynote of his
last public speech. Had he lived, he would
have been our next President.
AS to Broward, .one's thoughts are equally
melancholy when rejecting upon his sudden
taking off. He was one of those men who,
In connection with public office, held lofty
ideals of public service. The honor and the
salary were always subordinate to the oppor-
tunity of doing good work. He would have
illustrated the South in way that would
have done credit to us all. One cannot
imagine Broward's using his official position
to stuff his own pocket, as Senator Taliaf erro
did. Just as his term as Governor of Florida
was marked by his drainage of the Ever
glades, so his term in the Senate would have
been made memorable by achievements similar
to those which caused men to speak admiring-
ly the names of Andrew johnson, John T.
Morgan, George Vest, Zebulon Vance and
Senator George, of Mississippi.

Old Man Peepul Administers a Ire.
mendOuS Rebule to the Rule
Or-Ruin Clique i'm Georgia

Have you noticed that the Macon Daily
Telegraph is the only paper that will give any
details about the late election for Governor?
Even the Tezegraph's table is incomplete and
contains many errors
Enough has been published, however, TO
prove that the Rule-or- Ruin politicians have
received a singing rebuke. In spite of the
party lash, the party habit, and party regu-
larity, there were nearly 100000 white regis
tered voters who participated in the primary,
but who refused to vote for the nominee
If editors and politicians fail to see the sig
nifcance of this law, they are strangely obtuse.
The Insurgent campaign, led by one man,
unalded by any one save the plain people,
lce-Watered every day or SO by Governor
Joseph NJ. Brown and bitterly opposed by
practically every Newspaper and politician In
the State, was a brilliant success in it's moral
effect. Claiming that he was entitled by the
nomination to 10000 votes. cast in the pri-
mary of August o. Hoke Smith received
fewer votes, by many thousands, than had
been given to him on the other OCCASION In
every county of the State he suffered tremend-
Gus losses, as compared to his vote in the
primary In some of his former strongholds.
he was defeated by man who wouldn't ac-
knowledge himselfa candidate
And to emphasize the rebuke administered
to him, this loss of strength is general
throughout the state. Now that the demands
of party honor and obligations have been met,
the people are falling away from the man for
whom they felt bound to vote-partlv in hor
ror because of his private life, and partly in
wrath because of his lawless methods in con-
Quoting his campaigns
When 10000 white men in Georgia vote for
man who isn't running, to rebuke, one who is,
and when nearly 100000 others refuse to vote
for the nominee, one would think that even he
might read the Hand writing on the Wall.

unaffected, and in spirit SO honest and earnest
that men were drawn to him intuitively. For
hours he would sit and talk about his drain
age schemes and what big things they meant
to future generations, and I would listen in
silence, without desire to put in single
word. Mine was the first magazine to take
Broward up, endorse his work. and fight his
oughly. In both of his races for the Senate
he had my warmest support. His sudden
death dashes to the ground many cup of
hope.

The Hills Plan For the I'm

THE STIFF UPPER LIP
The Hills Plan

Some Of the metropolitan gentlemen
Of divinity got up d. Hills is causing
much discussion in various channels,
especially in the news papers, the re-
views and magazines, and is Of espec-
iai influences out here in the west,
where the conditions mentioned by him
as justifying the course suggested exist
more strongly than anywhere else. His
plan Is brief, another variation OF the
idea Of church union, which has been
under consideration for n few centuries,
and which il now, except in the
branches Of certain sects, no nearer to
realization n il was in the first
place. he draws attention to the fact
that there are, in his opinion at least,
too many churches in the smaller towns
they conflict with zach other, and i'm.
pair the general possibilities OF good.
There are so many of them, he says,
that the preachers are starving, the
music Is rotten, and the congregations
like redeeming features in the political
platform-extremely scattering. His
belief is that with fewer churches there
would be better attendance and more
encouragement to the preachers who
labor ON the outposts and have to con.
tend with poverty, listlessness and the
general cussedness Of sparsely settled
communities. He believes that it would
be better in all towns up to 5000 to
have but one church, and that q big one,
