The Difference Between You. and
Your CONGRESSMAN

It won't do for yOu to bolt the convention,
or the primary or the election. Oh, no That
would never do, at all, at all. It would break
up any party in the world.
But your Congressman can bolt the party
and the platform, too without doing the least
harm, or mourning the least penalty
See what the Georgia delegation did for
Deserters, whose betrayal of his people
helped to increase the cost of living He
walked right away from his own flag, en-
listed under that of the stand-pat Republi-
cans, and fired on his own former comrades
Did he get any punishment? Not bit
Was reelected, without opposition; and has
the solid support of the Georgia delegation
for his old place on the powerful Ways and
Means Committee-oohich frames the tariff
bills that tap you, from cradle to grace, ON
the necess0pIes of life.
In Brantley, the South Georgia and Flor
ida Lumber Trust has a reliable servant;
and he IS n0ao, AGAIN, qchere he cam serve
his master best.
Don't forget that Charley Bartlett-rano-
pant friend of the people LAST YEAR!
helped to put this Deserter where he can do
the most harm to your interests.
Don't forget that Deserter Lee stood by
Deserter B.
Don't forget that little Tom Bell was like
wise true to the Lumber Trust, as he was
when he voted money out of your pocket into
that of the monopoly makers.
Calico Charley was for his brother De
serter; and SO was Smooth goods Adamson.
Even Hughes and Roddenbury supported
Brantley; and, of course Pussyfoot Howard
did.
Lon Livingston and little Hardwick were
arm-in-arm for the Deserter-which does not
surprise me in the least. They are birds of
a feather, and it was natural for them to
flock together.
AS long as the Representative from the
Tenth had my confidence and support, he
never ventured to vote with the Howard
ingston-Brantley element in Congress.
That is, he didn't do so when his name acent
to record.
He knew that I would not stand for any
rotten voting: consequently, it was quite
true, as | said in THE JEFTERsoNIAN, that his
recorded UOtes a0ere Democratic.
But now, when he knows that I understand
him, and will never be fooled in him again,
he throws his mask aside and proves that,
IN principle, he is the same as Lon Living
ston, Pussy-f foot Howard and Calico Charley.
It was a most unfortunate thing for the
whole country that Willis Evans could not

Who is This A. w. Force. Anyway?

WHO IS AMAS "A wv. FOrces anyway!
You will remember how Captain Tip Har-
rlson came tearing into the newspapers, to
defend the manager of the Soldiers Home;
and to claim that A. w. Force was the hero
of Fort Sumter
Now, it just SO happened that [ remem-
bered quite we'll the day Gouverneur Embree's
mother died. here in Thomson He and [
were great friends; and I was deeply i'm
pressed by the feeling he exhibited when his
aged parent passed away. In the intimacy of
confidential friendship, he told me that the
fond mother had preserved to the very last
souvenir of the Civil War It was splinter
of wood-a bit of the flagstaff of Fort
Sumter.
The Yankees had shot down the flag, and
1t had fallen outside the Fort. Her brave
boy had dashed out of the fortress, had
snatched up the standard and had replaced
1t on the ramparts. AS he did so, bullet,
aimed at him, Clipped the staff and he coolly
picked the silver up, and carried it away with
him.
The next time he wrote a letter to his
mother, he enclosed the chip, and told her
the story
And among her most sacred possessions, the
fine old lady kept the memorial of her fav-
orite sons heroism to her dying dag!
You may have read bis letter, in last weeks

what he told me, the day his mother lay,
corpse, here in Thomson. As IF could eve,

But the thought which wrings my heart

That cowardly impostor, like A. w.
Force, Of Neao Jersey, should have been able,
for so many years, to have held fat office on
the strength of his claim that he did, what
Gouverneur Embree actually dared and &C
complished.
