Is a Crooked Election a Jest2

1t appears that good men lose
their citizenship in St. Louis only
to be jeered at by politicians and
organs that sanction anything COM
United in the name of party.
Men are utterly cheated out of
participation in free government
when in the election contests it is
made plain that ballots cast straight
came out scratched and that in
some cases different ballots we're
substituted in entirely; this besides
a liberal exposure of other familiar
frauds.
In the calm aftermath it is sur
prising that politicians, cuckooed by
trifiing press should affront the
intelligence and character of all
st. Louis by affecting an airy in
difference to wrongs that strike so
deeply at the rights of Republican
citizenship and Democratic citizen
ship alike
The day has gone when dirty
elections can be accepted as in
evitable and a matter of course
Shrewd leaders would at least make
a serious and convincing promise
of cleaner elections in future. Those
to who crookedness is a trifle for
jest are not likely to 90 far with
the people of either party at this
date.
Must the public infer from the
airy attitude of Republican poll
ticians and their press that fraud
is the deliberate intention next
time?-Republic.

The Dark Ages.

A subscriber at Bazine writes to
the effect that the editor of the
moral and agricultural guide has
taken crack Rt a number of sub
fleets and now he, the Bazine sub
scriber wants to know about the
dark ages, when they commenced
and why so called.
There is some difference of opin-
ion as to when the dark ages, more
generally known as the middle ages
commenced and when they ended
the better authorities however seem
to be generally agreed that the mid
die or dark ages, so called, COM
menced about the middle of the
Fifth century after Christ, about
$50 A. D. when the Goths and
Franks and other northern tribes
came down and beat the everlasting
whey out of the Roman Empire and
took possession of things generally
themselves.
AS to the time of the ending that
is generally conceded to have been
in the latter part of the Fifteenth
century when Columbus made his
wonderful voyage of discovery that
opened for settlement a new CONT
nent.
The middle ages marked the
breaking down of the old Roman
civilization and the end markedthe
beginning of what may be called
the modern civilization.
However it must not be suppos-
ed that there was nothing doing
during that thousand years. AS a
matter of fact it was ones of the
most important .eras in the worlds.

those they overthrow. They were

For a long time divided into
tribes and small kingdoms there
came a time when a great man.
Charlemagne, rose and welded them
into powerful nation. 1t was dur
ing the so-called dark ages that the
were undertaken for the
rescue of the holy sepulchre from
the hands of the infidels.
Looking back at them from the
viewpoint of many centuries after,
the crusades seem like the height Of
fanatical folly but they were as a
matter Of fact great educators of
both the Europeans and people Of
Asia Along the line of march Of
the crusaders trade followed. 81
million men died either in battle
as a result Of disease and starv
ton during the cfusades, but tho
who lived to come back had accurs
llated great deal of valuable in
formation and new IDEAS,
The name dark ages as generally
understood is misnomer The
general impression is that the world
sank back into a night Of barbarism
during that thousand years AS a
matter Of fact while Ignorance and
superstition did reign conditions
we're better than under the Roman
civilization which was destroyed.

TRA|NLOAD OF COTTON
SHIPPED BY AMERICUs
Fifteen Hundred Bales Are
Sent to Chinese Mills at
Shanghai
Especial Dispatch to The Journal.)

Especial Dispatch to The Journal-)
AMERICUS, Ca, Nov. N.-Direct from
the Americas compress to the cotton
mills in Shanghai there went a few
days ago shipment Of 1900 bales Of
Sumter county cotton, probably the
largest consignment OF the feecy staple
ever made by any interior Georgia city
to the Orient where so much of the
souths chief product is now consumed.
1t is a feat which is calculated to keep
Americas in the limelight as live wire
in the cotton trade of Georgia.
While a great deal OF cotton is ship
ped to China and Japan, this Americas
shipment recently leaving the city is by
far the largest single consignment and
one worth a fortune. The Americas
agency of wiel Brothers, Of which Mr.
A. M. Grayson is manager. made this
large shipment. The 1900 bales graded
fully middling and is consigned to one
Kaisha, a Shanghai manufacturer. Great
care was exercised by Mr.. Grayson in
classifying and COMPRISING the cotton.
The 1900 bales constituted a pretty
good traintoad, and went direct to Sa-
vannah. There it was loaded upon some
big tramp steamer for the other side
of the world. The cotton Is rated via
the Suez canal, and many weeks win
be required for its long travel OF 1900
miles. The 1900 bales are worth prob
ably $4,000 or $4,000. The freight
charges alone, Americas to Shanghai
are $500, quite a snug little sum to be
paid out as shipping charges alone This
quantity of cotton should insure a shirt
for every ''pigtaiP' Chinaman whose
neck escaped the revolutionists now so
busy there.
