A GRSAT DAY FOR DEMOCRACY.
Next Monday will be a great day
for the democracy of Floyd county
Every citizen of the county who be.
lieves in free and honest government
and the maintenance of our demo
cratic institutions, should lay all
other business aside on that day and
come and hear Governor Atkinson for
the last time before his election. He
i has found that his engagements will
; not admit of its visiting Rome on the
day preceding the election as was at
first arranged.
But on Monday, October 5, he will
tell the|peopleof Floyd some plain and
honest truths about the campaign
that has been waged against him by
the populo-prohibition office seekers
that will be worth hearing. He de
serves a hearing from the unterrified
democracy of the banner county of
the state who have had dinned into
their ears so persistently all sorts of
misrepresentations during the present
campaign.
There never have been such strenu
ous efforts made to subvert public
opinion by a set of hungry office seek
ers to carry out their rapacious plans
in all the history of Georgia politics.
The governor of the state has been
kept busy refuting one canard after
another ever since the campaign
opened. But as fast as he has nailed
one untruth another false charge has
been trumped up to serve the purpose
of his opponents.
It is probable should nothing
' intervene to prevent, that the gallant
old warrior, General John B. Gordon,
will be present also and will raise his
clarion voice on behalf of democracy
on that occasion as he has at so many
crises in our history before. It will be
worth a trip to Rome from the most
remote corner of the Seventh con
gressional district to hear Hon. N. J.
Hommond, of Atlanta. His matchles
e’oquence sound a parting blast in
fayor of democracy.
It has been many a day since the
democracy of Floyd county has been
! offered such an opportunity to indulge
in a real old fashioned democratic
love and no good party men can
afford to miss it. Every provision will
be made for the reception and enter
tainment of the distinguished guests
and all who attend will be amply
cared for on that great day. XVe hope
that the yeomanry of Floyd and the
adjoining counties will turn out in
force.
Let us give Georgia’s next governo r
an ovation in advance of his re-acces
sion'to the gubernatorial chair which
he has occupied with such honor and
credit during the last two years. It
will be good for us to get together on
that occasion and shake hands and
enjoy ourselves after the manner of
good citizens, loyal and.true to our
party principles and to the best inter
ests of the glorious government under
whose beneficent auspices we have
made such strides along the -paths of
progress.
STAND BY THE NOMINEES.
Next Wednesday the fate of the
various • candidates, for state and
county offices will be decided at the
polls from governor down to coroner.
It is the duty of every democrat to
see that the regular party nominees
are elected by such a majority as will
silence all opposition and leave no
room, for even a hint of a contest in
any of the offices. The crisis is upon
us and it is our duty to see that dem
ocracy prevails.
In Governor Atkinson the state has
never had a braver, truer or more
conscientious official and his record
stands out in bold relief against the
political horizon. With him are Hon.
Allen D. Candler, for secretary of
state, tried and never found wanting;
Hon. William J. Speer for treasurer,
a man who is fully competent to suc
ceed “Uncle Bob” Hardeman in that
responsible position; Hon. Joseph M.
Terrell, for attorney general, who has
filled that position to the entire satis
faction of the people; Hon. William
A. Wright, for comptroller general, an
old war horse of long service and Hon.
Robert T. Nesbitt, for commissioner
of agriculture, the right man for the
place.
As our representatives in the legis
lature we have Hon. Wesley Shrop
shire, of Chattooga, a man who is in
every way worthy to fill the position
for senator from the Forty second dis
trict with Hon. Felix Corput, an old
warhorse, Hon. John H. Reece, who
has seen long and faithful service and
Hon. W. H. Ennis, one of the foremost
young men of the county; as candi
dates for representatives in the legis
lature from Floyd county.
Coming on down the list there is
Judge John P. Davis who is one of
the finest ordinaries in the state; Mr.
William E. Beyseigel, who has filled
the position of clerk of the court so
acceptably and Capt. John P. McCon
nell, who, with his efficient deputies,
Capt. J. I) illas Turner, W. P. McLeod.
IJ. M. Johnson and W. P. Redmond,
iconstitu-e one of the finest combi
nations of faithful, fearless and capa
ble officials that ever conducted the
affairs of the sheriff’s office.

cent T. Sanford, a man who is in
every way qualified to fill that res
ponsible position and whose genial
and loyal nature has won him so many
friends; for tax receiver the popular
Mr. Robert Lee Foster, who has served
the county’ so well; for treasurer Capt-
J. B. Hill in whose public or private
life there is nothing lacking; for sur
veyor Capt. J. T. Moore, true and
tried and for coroner one of the best
men in Rome, Mr. Fred H. Schlap
bach.
< The candidates for commissioners
of roads and revenue are Messrs. C.
N. Featherstone, R. B. McArver, D.
W. Simmons, G. W. Trammell and
W. C. Nixon, all new blood and men
who occupy the very highest position
in the esteem of their fellow citizens.
Let us roll up a big majority for
them. It is our duty as democrats to
stand by and uphold the principles of
the party. The bigger the majority
the better. Let no man prove derelict
in the discharge of his duties as a citi
zen by remaining away from the polls
on Wednesday October 7.
SONGS AND SCENES.
Sad Thoughts.
’Tis sad that I no more may meet
Thy glance beneath the skies,
But one blest thought is passing sweet,
Some day these weary eyes shall greet
Thine own in paradise!
So tired, sickhearted and alone
I watch the restless throng,
Thy name in love’s low undertone
I whisper oft “My my own,”
My sunshine and my song!
I cared not for the world for thou
Wert all the w’orld to me;
And I would give this world that now
I could amend each broken vow.
And live alone for thee!
So near and yet so far, dear heart,
I know thy love is mine;
And though our paths lie far apart
I am, no matter where thou art.
Still thine, forever thine !
—Montgomery M. Folsom.
A New Addition.
My friend Major McDonald has made
me a present of pig and I know that I
am going to have trouble with Judge
Branham. The genial Judge is opposed
to pigs on general principles and he had
passed an ironclad ordinance, last year,
a sort of pig prohibition, that I fear is
going to work me ill in my attempts tv
add variety to my collection of live stock
on the breezy heights where I live over
looking the extensive prospect of Ho
gan’s alley.
The Major took me out to view the
pig the last time I was over at Oakland
Place, and I was highly pleased with
the appearance of the embryonic swine.
He is of the Prussian Blue variety
with stripes cut bias and his ears are
fluted in the most fetching style. He is
built from the ground up and his chin
wattles like unto that of a well fed
councilman of the city of Rome. His
tail curls so tight that it lifts his hind
foetoff the ground.
I dare not bring him to town until
after October 1, because of the fear of
the law and Judge Branham. Even then
I shall have to act very cautiously so as
to comply with that ordinance. If I
remember aright the ordinance reads:
‘ ‘The pig that squealeth, it shall die.”
That is the first section and they grow
worse and worse as you read on down
the page. The pen must be floored and if
matting is used it must be takdn up and
beaten at frequent intervals.
I thins that I shall use ingrain carpet
as Dave Hanks has a new supply, but I
shall lay it myself because Dave's man
put down some matting in my hen pal
ace and there were two different shades
of it and when 1 spoke to Dave about it
he hiLted that I had not been living
right or things would not look so queer
to me when I went home at night. I
am afraid the offspring of my hens will
be afflicted with strabismus from look
ing at that matting and if they are I
shall think hard of Dave.
When I get my matting laid down
the next job will be to provide for the
sanitation of my piggery. I cannot as
ford, until after I see whether Josh
Levering is elected, to build a two story
piggery. If he should be elected there
is no telling what kind of changes he
would make because he is one of these
wild eyed reformersand I might have to
tear down my piggery. I think that I
shall build it in plain Etruscan style of
architecture without any attempt at
display.
I think that as the pig is a bachelor
and if I am any sort of a judge, a mis
ogynist at that and likely to remain in a
s ate of single blessedness, a reception
room, and bed room or.ght to be suffi
cient for his requirements. I am going
to consult Caldwell about the propt r
shade of wall paper for he is a gentle
man of excellent taste in such matters.
I am going to purchase a supply of fit a
traps from Kendrick to protect my guest
J from those pesky parasites.
The job I dread most is the plumbing
but I will get Watters to give me some
suggestions provided he does not charge
me for them by the hour after the man
ner of Atlanta plumbers who will put in
two yards of piping and then bring in a
( bill a yard longer than the piping which
they laid. They employ a man to do
the suggesting and another man to sug
gest suggestions to him. They are a
skilled lot of journey men in Atlanta,
the city of magnificent imaginings.
I expect Watters is going to insist on
my putting in a porcelain bath tub and
lavatory because he has got an idea from
what McOsker has toffi him that lam
in receipt of a generous income, but I
shall not putin anything better than
plain zinc. That is good enough for
any country bred pig and I don’t pro
pose to encourage hoggishness in any
pig. There is such a thing as making
a full grown hog out of a very decent
sort of pig.
As for the squealing part I don't know
how I am going to eliminate that from
my pig. They say that is the only pa>t
of the hog that the Pullman pork pack
ers are unable to utilize in s >me way
and they are figuring on a scheme to run
that through the whistles so as to save
steam. If that discovery should ever
be perfected it would be a big bonanza
for the people in the country where I
came from for the hogs, in that section,
are principally made up of squeal.

This is the cradle in which there grew
That thought of a philanthropic brain;
A remedy that would make life new
For the multitudes that were racked
with pain.
Twas sarsaparilla, as made, you know
By Ayer, some 50 years ago.
Ayer’s Sarsaparilla
was in its infancy half a cen
tury ago. To-day it doth “be
stride the narrow world like a
colossus." What is the secret
of its power ? Its cures! The
* number of them 1 The wonder
of them! Imitators have fol
lowed it from the beginning of
its success. They are still be
hind it. Wearing the only
medal granted- to sarsaparilla
in the World’s Fair of 1893,
it points proudly to its record.
Others imitate the remedy;
they can’t imitate the record:
