For Congressman 8th Dist.
II. II. CARLTON,
OF CLARKE COUNTY.
A Buffalo man is authority for the
report that Mr. Cleveland is now iu favor
of a second term.
Wednesday, October 21st, the first
Democratic President put foot on South¬
ern soil in twenty-five years.
Saturday President Cleveland ap¬
pointed Col. L. M. Lamar, of Savannah,
United Slates Marshal for the Southern
District of Georgia.
A FTF.tt this week Georgia papers will
have something to fill up on. The Leg¬
islature must be run, you know. Well
there is some good in the G. L.
All the fears entertained by the Dem¬
ocratic party a month or so ago seems to
have entirely died out. We have found
out that there wasn’t much excuse for
them no way.
Minister Manning, like Gen. Jackson,
expresses himself delighted with Mexico
and the Mexicans. Probably the Mexi¬
can mission will hereafter be more in
demand than ever.
Though there is no opposition to him,
Democrats of the county should turn out
next Tuesday and give Dr. Carlton, the
nominee, a good vote. It is a duty, mid
will besides be a compliment to a most
worthy candidate.
President Cleveland and a portion
of his Cabinet visited (he Virginia State
Fair at Riehtnnnd last week. lie was
given a great ovation by the people, was
introduced by Governor Leo and made a
pretty fair speech.
While there ;•: v « ciy twenty *evcn
names on the revl-tn registry list, a.l
those who had r-gi-tin d for the October
election are entitled to vote next Tues¬
day. This includes a ui jority of the
voters in the county.
There is a rumor t urn m in Washing¬
ton to the (“fleet that Phone and Conk
ling have made friends, and that the lat¬
ter wilt be a stloug Wait e man in the
future. This is probat !y tie of the cur¬
rent jokes of the season.

The Globe and Lance, the recognized
organ of the Knights of Labor in Augus
ta, devotes two columns of space in its
j issue of the 23d inst., in an attempt to
i (inswer> or rather refute, the charges
made against the K. of L. iu an article
in the Echo the week before tinder the
heading of “Getting too Near.” Though
we have read the article more than once
carefully, we fail to find any reasons giv*
why it . would , not be disastrous for the .
en
arm laboring clasaes to be organized an
der the charge ° of the Order, and it was
our purpose to bring forth the that fact,
therefore ___ . in . reply , .ni bo l brief, • f r,-. i he
we win
G. and L. reads us a chapter ' or ro about
proseliting the laboring classes, and how
it . . done, , , alters .. not to . . bow it . .
18 it in U8 lh
done, the outcome will be the same. As
to proseliting, that is all right in some
instances, but if the editor of the G. and
L. knew the negro race that inhabits the
farm as well as we da, he would, like us,
say there was d inger in proseliting them,
whether by the Knights of Labor or any
other order or organization. Thev do
not understand, nor can they be made to
see what is meant by organization (or
proselitism, if you please), and iu their
ignorance define it as n war against their
employer. Then, should they be organ¬
ized, this war is a sure outcome, and we
care not whether it be carried on by a
long line of red tapeism, as the G. and
L. says it is, or not, the outcome is the
same. It is ridiculous to suppose for a
moment that a negro would, if he imag¬
ined ho was being wronged, report to a
local lodge, wail until it conferred with
! a district lodge, and be quiet until it
could appoint an arbitrator to look into
the differences. Il is not his nature, and
he would, on considerably shorter notice,
kick up a rumpus, and, banded together
by an organization, all his brethren
would kick rip with him, while the plan¬
ter would lose a month or so of good
work from each of them, perhaps at the
very time he most needed it.
Whi ther tlie ,c lodges arc being organ¬
ized si ei( !> or not lo iho order, the
rnovcinorii - ■! the cuimi-nries are* quite
no to lhe people of this section. It may
he a public a flair to llioso in the secret,
hut those out of it—farmers—have to
keep quit ; a close lookout .to catch up
with or hear of one of them in the neigh¬
borhood. That looks like secrecy to us_
and we presume the movement of 12,000
negroes at a clip to Augusta would be a
secret too, to the Knights,
But seriously, and concisely, we in¬
tended no offense to ihe Order nor to the
editor of the (ilobe and Lance. It was
our purport' lo ivurn both tbo laboring
c ] rt *. stM ttlif j tlie f HlmerH 0 f thin section
t |, }lt i]. ni ,r t , r was impending. Tins wo
done, and we feel gratified to know
our advice has bcon heeded and will
have its effect. Therefore, we ace uo
r «»st>ii for entering into a discussion of
th< ‘ ho*’". wherefores nnd whiches that
are brought furth by the G. and L. It
upholding the order to which it be
lo "H s > » u<1 tl,ia "ill do, loo. so long
as tve see that it is sticking to its prime
vnl and pronounced purpose of “elevat
uniting mi l bettering tho moral, in
telleetUHl and social condition of the
American labor.” If i lean and will do
all this and nothing more, we are a
standing candidate for admission into its
ranks.
OUR REGISTRATION LA W.
During the next session of the Legisla¬
ture something is going to be done look¬
ing to a modification or abolishment of
our present registration law; which, we
cannot say. \Ve believe it is the will of
a majority oT our people that the law be
abandoned entirely unless it be possible
to modify it considerably. Its purpose
is perfectly correct, Jmt its workings are,
to a great extent, bungersome, yet insuf
flcient to its purpose. While it requires
registration it provides for voting with
out it, and while it would seem to be
tended to keep down illegal voting, there
are parts of it that leave loopholes
through which au illegal voter can easily
crawl. One of its most unpopular fea
tures is its best; that of requiring a vot
er to vote in the district in which be
registers, 'i bis cornea nearer to its pur
pose than any other part of it, yet when
it makes it necessary for a man to ride
seveial miles to vote w hen there is a pre
cinot in a mile or two of him, it becomes
unpopular. And there arc soineothtr
objections which are under the study of
our present Representatives, and which
will, in all probability, be remedied.
The Georgia Technological School
ought to be inaugurated under very
vorablo auspices. It will start with a
cash capital for buildings and outfit and
maintenance of $135,000, $70,000 coming
from Atlanta’s bid afid $05,000 from the
State appropriation. It ia estimated that
(he buildings and equipment will cost
about $100,000, leaving about $3.5,000 to
help maintain the school. Besides, At
lanta guarantees $2,500 a year to help
pay the expenses.
A QUESTION has been raised whether
the Governor, in order ta meet the re¬
quirements of the constitution, must be
inaugurated during the first week of the
session of the Legislature, or during the
week in which the session of the Legis
latare begins. The Attorney General
holds that the constitution is satisfied if
the inauguration takes place within the
first seven days of the session.
The editor of the .Staunton, Ya., Post,
a colored man, says that the negroes were
never so well off as under the present
Deroocralic rule of State and nation, and
he and ...... his friends are ... for the partv
going
which gives them peace and tranquility.
And ret the negroes were told duringthe
i a te Presidential campaign that ifCleve
iaad was elected tl.ey would be remanded
into slavcrv.
Thk next Georgia Legislature will
have two w-totdA.o-t; colored representatives—Lee- McIntosh
