A wave of sestlnwot I* sweeping
over the whole state in favor of pure
methods In politics. State aud nation
al conventions have been held to se
cure primaries precedent to every elec
tion and to throw about the ballot box
a safeguard of sanctity which the
boldest dare not violate.
That sentiment 1* as vigorous and
extensive lo Georgia as in any state of
the union. It Is vigorous In Richmond
county, for the last grand Jury urcon-
Bldered Its action In recommending
white primaries only because it was dtv
elded that that body should steer dear

ments the paragraph was ns conclus

The I’opullsts claim that the Demo
crats have stolen the best planks of
their platform. It Is apparent on ex
amination of the platforms of the two
parties that many of the principles
enunciated ore the same. The Popu
lists virtually admit that but for the
corruption In the Democratic party—
of which they themselves profess to be
free—they would have uo claims on the
people.
What, then, was the manifest duty
of the Populist, leaders? It was to join
tbo upright IbJraccrats In purifying
the old party. It was to come back in
to tlfe ranks aud ally themselvce with
the friend# atul advocates of pure elec
tions. Their vigilance would then be
effective, whereas it amountß to noth
ing, exercised by a hopeless minority.

THi PEACE PROPOSAL
It Is hard to say nrbst will he the
Immediate outcome of the overtures
for peace which the Spanish govern
ment has made. It Is practically cer
tain. however, that the President will
not be victimised by the hypoerlry
railed "diplomacy” which Spain exer
cised so artfully just before diplomatic
negotiation# were broken off. Her
proposition for peace must be honest
and unequivocal.
She made a fatal mistake by not
opening up negotiations as soon as her
second fleet was destroyed, if she had
not been tho mad-eap of nations she
would have doa«> so. The rcßult of her
delay has been to give our troops an
opportunity to lend at Porto Rico and
even if an armistice Is declared before
Gen. Miles achieves any Important vic
tory, the American people will look
with disfavor ou the abandonment of
the island.
The truth of the matter Is—and
Spain may os well realize It —we are
the conquerors and eho Is the con
quered. She can have peace only on
our terms. If we choose to do so, we
will retain every island on which our
troops have set foot—and may even
demand a few more.
Nothing but the fatuous density of
such a nation as Spain could ever In
spire the irrational and ludicrous
terms in which she talks of surrender.
She has brought on this wa- by her
oppression and her stupidity. She has
been cuffed about until
the contest hardly reach
ed the dißtilty of u fight. Now
she must give up whatever territory
we demand, pay the expenses of the
war and then go back to her dark lit
tle corner and meditate over her folly.
Those ara the terms she is offered,
and she may take them or leave them

"Social Hall” and moat of the fine
resldrncoa are "On Bath,” but the old
bouse a ernes the gulch la not. This
gulch, er "Bath Branch.” which haa Its
aource in a mineral spring in Hell;'
Grove, is in its course augmented
by fifty-one other springs, and form* a
horse-shoe shaded table-land, which Is
called "On Bath." Bath Branch flows
into Spirit cre n k at Mount Enon and
then cn to Richmond factory, reaching
the Savannah below Twiggs’ bay.
We visited the old house aero** the
gulch hoping to get a glimpse of the
interior with Its antique furnitnre, but
upon inquiry found that the furniture
had been stored and the house locked.
We must content ourselves by sitting
for a moment on the wide piazza and
imagine how it all looked when the
bright petals of the lilac, honeysuckle
and iris blessed the ever-rerurning
spring time, and tfce sir was fragrant
with their perfume, a few stunted
plants of which were left to tall the
tale.
The springs along Bath branch are
largely impregnated with mineral and
would furnish a magnificent basis for
a sanitarium and health resort. Will
our home people wait for the northern
capitalist to discover and appropriate
to himself this rich legacy of "acres of
diamonds”?
A bath house is built over the branch
and water supplied directly from the
springs. On first entering, the water
startles by its coldness, but after a
bath of a few: minutes it leaves a
warm, velvety glow era the flesh that
is health giving and youth inspiring.
The church on Bath ts quaint and

AUGUSTA, OIORGIA.
with matting, and pews furnished with
fans. The pulpit uml chancel had
been recently brightened up with
paint. The churchyard i» at tho rear
of the church, but no newly made
graves mark the spot, for few people
die on Bath.
It always awakens feelings of sad-,
ness to visit a country churchyard any
where.
"Perhaps in this neglected spot ts
told
Some heart once pregnant with celes
tial fire.
Hand* that tbe rod of empire might
have swayed.
Or wak'd toecatacy the living lyre.”
The date of birth ami death on a
tombstone sums up all that was mortal
of the entombed, while the epitaph il
luminates the tomb with the hope be
yond.
This epitaph is on a slab marking
one of the graves:
■B'
"Ah, the fondest link is broken Ml,
From this exile's earthly chain, ! i
But 'tis only for a moment.
To meet in heaven again.” j.| |
At the farthest corner of this “God’s
acre” is a large grave arched over in a
semi-cylindrical form which encloses
the coffin and is sealed up with a mar
ble slab, bearing this Inscription:
"Quintillian Skeine,
"Born July, 1809,
“Died September, 1886. i : '
“The past has nothing to regret, I
The future nothing to fear.”
They say that this man’s death
closed the career of a very wicked life.
Altogether, on Bath is delightfully
cool, is easy of access and should be
made much of by the moneyed people
of Augusta. For health, rest and qui
et. and literary study, it stands unex
celled. Respectfully,
Hattie A. Stacy.
