BURIED ALIVE.
A Victim cf White Caps Lives to 'Ks.'Vl
the Tale.
There was a man in the city the oth
er day who had about as sensational an
experience as ever falls to mankind. He
was once buried alive by White Caps
after they had nearly murdered him.
The man is Ben Watkins, a farmer of
Dekalb county. He was in Atlanta
with a load of cotton and was at the po
lice barracks in tho afternoon talking
to several of his friends who are on the
police force.
The old farmer was approached and
asked about his terrible experience with
White Caps.
“Oh, it wasn’t much,” he said, with
a smile, “only I was once buried.”
The old man then proceeded to give
his experience with the White Caps. He
said:
“I was living in Gwinnett county at
the time, and it was 10 or 12 years ago.
I have always tried to live the life of
an honest citizen in my county, but
there be those who ain’t disposed that
way, and they ain’t too particular about
how they treat other people. I was
suspected of giving some information to
revenue officers, which wasn’t true, aud
I was told several times if I didn’t look
out the White Caps would take care of
me. I went along minding my own
business until one day I was driving
along the public road near the old Burns
mill in Gwinnett, and I was walking by
the side of my wagon to give the team
a rest as they were going up a hill.
“Suddenly seven or eight men jump
ed out of a thicket by the side of the
road and put the muzzles of their guns
in my face. I stopped. Os course you
know I did that. Then one of them
spoke up and said, ‘You just might as
well say your prayers, for we are sure
going to put you where you can’t tell
any more news to the revenue officers. ’
I tried a little bluff, but it didn’t work.
Every one of those fellows wore white
rags over their faces, and I couldn’t tell
who they were. They dragg d me down
into the woods and begi a to beat me
with sticks and the butt unds of their
guns. I yelled like a wild Indian. All
of a sudden they stopped and ran away.
They must have heard somebody com
ing. I fainted dead away, aud when
they came back they must have thought
I was dead sure enough, for they took
me to where there was an old hole, and
into it they tossed me. Then they piled
a lot of brush over me and threw sand
over the brush. They were burying me,
and the only reason they didn’t make a
better job of it was because they didn’t
have shovels to handle the dirt. If any
shovels had been handy, I wouldn’t have
been here to tell tho tale.
“I laid there in that grave all uight.
The dead branches of the brush gave in
breathing places. The next morning -
came to, and I had. a hard time scram
bling out of that grave. I was awful
sore and bruised up, but I managed to
get home, and I told the people what
had happened. You know, to this day
some of the people in that neighborhood
think I rized from the dead,”
Farmer Watkins is a hale and strong
man for his age. Ho moved from Gwin
nett to Dekalb county a sow rs ago
and owns a good farm which i. all paid
for.
He never tires of telling his experi
ence with the White Ccys and of his bu
rial and resurrection. —A Lanta Consti

Vagaries of Learning.
A certain schoolteacher, whose sense
of humor is developed to a remarkable
degree, goes to the trouble occasionally
of writing down for her own use some
of the funniest answers which she finds
in her examination papers. By especial
favor I have been allowed to use a few.
Hero they are:
“The stomach is the most diluted
portion of the elementary canal.”
“Hygene is all that you can tell about
that which is asked. ’ ’
“The doctrine of evolution began
with the beginning of life and grew
higher and higher until it regenerated
into monkey. This process was slow —
so slow that neither the monkey nor the
man knew anything about it.”
“A germ is a name applied to a par
ticular particle, tiny subbacterial organ
ism, which, when demonstrated, causes
disease. ”
“A germ is a tiny insector bug some
times found in diseases or organs. That
is why diseases are contagious. It is so
small that it can be seen only with a
telescope. Then it appears like the head
of a pin, but it goes floating around in
to the atmosphere. ”
“Habeas corpus means you may have
tho head, and I will take the body. ”
“Queen Elizabeth’s reign was the
reign of posterity.”
“The germ theory of diseases is con
tinually floating around in the air and
is very dangerous, especially when tho
atmosphere is unwholesome.”
“William Pitt, the second son of the
Earl of Chatham, premier of Englau I,
entered life at a very early age, which
office he held at a very early period in
life, the time when most men are just
completing a professional education.”
“A dowager is a widow without
joints. ’ ’ —Syracuse Post.
Lived Ninety Tears In Same House.
John T. Scribner of South Waterboro
has neither father nor mother, sister
nor brother, uncle nor aunt, nor wife.
His nearest living relative is his boy,
a robust lad of 68 summers. The fact of
the matter is that John T. Scribner,
who was 90 last July, is the oldest man
now living in the town. He was born
in the house where be and his sou re
side, on July 28, 1807 The house was
erected in 1806. He used to be an invet
erate smoker, having formed the habit
when he was but 10 years old, but 20
years ago he sat down in front of the
open fireplace and lit his pipe. It failed
to draw to suit him, and after three nn
successful attempts to remove tho dii.:
culty he dashed the pipe agaiust tin
bricks in the back ; of the fireplace an I
has never smoked from that day to this.

All money is fiat; without the fiat of
the government expressed upon it, it is
only a commodity.
Let every national committeeman
who really wants harmony in the par
ty go to St. Louis on January 12
If the Populists will only furnish the
patriotism aud the votes they are
pretty good fellows with the Demo
crats.
A vote for either old party is an in
dorsement of its record. A vote for
the People’s Party is a protest against
existing evils.
One of the peculiar character ! stics of
aDemocratic politician is that he can’t
Fee anything until after some one else
has seen it.
The yellow hammers are returning
to their Democratic nest, which meins
that the party is not going to break its
neck for free silver.
Populism is again catching the inspi
ration of patriotism.
The specie basis is a fraud, and the
Democratic party favors the specie
basis.

One of the Jims.
From the Arkansas Democrat we
clip the following:
“J, R. Sovereign is in Arkansas, or
at least claims his citizenship in this
state and poses as a Populist leader.
He was a presidential elector from
Arkansas last year, having been elect
ed by a fusion arrangement, and after
the fight was over certain members of
his own party called him a traitor and
threatened to kick him out of the Pop
ulist party. “Buzz-Saw” Morgan gave
him “Hail Columbia” in every issue of
his paper for months and predicted his
downfall. It was suspected that Mor
gan, who is a big chief in the Populist
camp, was jealous of Sovereign’s popu
larity.”
The Democrat is in error. Morgan is
not a “big chief” in the Populist party,
and is not “jealous of Sovereign’s pop
ularity.” We don’t want any of the
kind of popularity Sovereign possesses
If we had gone into the Bryan camp
and howled for the success of the Dem
ocratic ticket, and kept it up this year
as Sovereign did, we might have been
rolling in a profusion of popularity,
but we don’t want that kind and hence
we are not jealous of Sovereign—not a
bit. When the opportunity comes the
Populists of this Slate will let Sov
ereign out whether Morgan is within
a thousand miles of the convention or
not. Yes, we predicted his downfall,
and his being forced to resign his posi
tion as General Master Workman of
the Knights of Labor is the beginning
of it. From this on it will be rapid.
He will follow Macune, Taubeneck and
others who have betrayed their friends.
—Buzz-Saw.
E I. White, Morristown, Minn.
From the preperations now being
made for a campaign of education
along Populist lines, one would sup
pose that the redemption of the plain
people from the clutches of the money
power depended entirely upon their
being thoroughly theoretically edu
cated up to their inherent rights.
Theory is good enough in its place, but
that they learn much faster bv practi
cal teaching I will show by calling
your attention to the facts we have
learned. We have learned by bitter
experience that politics is a humbug,
and that politicians as a rule are hum
bugs
We have learned that platforms
stand for everything for us before
election, that after election they stand
for nothing for us aud everything for
the bosses except loyalty to platform.
We have learned that representative
government is a failure so far as we
are concerned and that votes count
naught to the voter except boodle.
That thousands of voters have made
for themselves all it was possible to
make by selling their votes to the
highest bidder, the swing of majorities
from side to side indicates. The peo
ple as a whole do not turn again and
again to their vomit as do those poli
ticians who profess to explain the
swinging of majorities. The peo
ple as a whole without regard to
party know these facts, further educa
tion is entirely unnecessary.
The People’s Party knows thst the
Omaha platform was ratified, on short
notice, by nearly two million voters
They know that their leaders in whom
they trusted,ratified the St. Louis plat
form of 1896 by flopping the rank and
file of the party, without warning, into
the Democratic den, then jumped in
themselves, every one of them, press
and all whooping ’er up for Bryan
Democracy for all there was in it. We
know that this deal by our leaders
compelled many of us to vote the Dem
ocratic ticket, stay at home or vote for,
if possible, a worse party.
These are some of the lessons taught
us by the practice of leaders In this
work the People’s party leaders are
not a whit behind.
And now, in the reorganization what
guarantee will be given us that such
practical lessons as above mentioned
will not in the future be repeated
This question must be met. Upon
the manner of its solution binges the
life of the People’s Party. It received
a deadly wound from the hands of its
seeming friends. That wound must be
healed.
It must live; the happiness of the
unborn depends upon it. As a guaran
tee, I demand that the party return to
its first and only love, the Omaha plat
form, make it the organic demands cf
the party unchangeable save by a ma
jority vote of the rank and file. Let
its full and hearty endorsement be the
test of elligibility for office.
In my humble opinion such action
would be a sufficient guarantee because
the rank and file of the party would
be in it.
Under this treatment the deadly
wound would soon heal, and the party
would live to bless humanity through
coming time.
Buzz-Saw Sayings.
Thought is the beginning of revolu
tion.
Labor produces wealth but enjoys
but little of it.
All the promises in the world can’t
wipe out the record of the Democratic
party.
Toe people produce and the pluto
•-rats accumulate while the fool voter
ratifies the farce.
There are more men “crucified” on
the “cress of the machine” than on the
‘ cross of gold.”
