Democrats everywhere are to be
congratulated upon the fact that
their party once more lias hail the
courage to adopt n platform that
1 means exactly what it says, and
i docs not admit uS a false intorpre
r" 1 talinn. The great objection to the
platform of 1884 was the ease with
which its true interests and pur
poses were perverted, and the
means it afforded the protection
ists for defeating the demands of
tite people for a reduction of taxa
lion. The St. Louis Convention
decided this disputed point, ami
decided in such an -unmistakable
way that no honest man will dare
to question it. The rcadoption of
the platform of 1SS4, and the en
dorsement of Mr. Cleveland's mes
sage as tite correct interpretation
of that platform, is a -victory
h Prohibition a Failure!

There are questions of grave

infringing upon the purely person

facts to the lild of temperance and

young men and bora, as well n«
the wives and mothers of Ran

subject.

The Constitution and the Chron

Democratic parly, will be expect
ed, as good Democrats, to udro
cate the Mills tm ill' bill. Why
are they so silent on this impor
tant matter?
There ia no longer any reason
for division iir? the Democratic

decided that the recent message
of President Cleveland shall be
the platform of the party upon the

The St. Louis Convention unan
imously endorsed the Mills tariff
bill, and recommended its passage
by Congress. Will Mr. Randall
eonie into the party now, or will
he continue to act with the Re

they did not get ‘-18S4’' in the

sermon we have ever heard. He
dwelt at length upon reasons why

and overwhelming that all impar
tial and fair minded rnen must
acknowledge it. Il means the ab
solute repudiation of the views of
that turbulent, but insignificant
faction of so-called Democrats,
who have domanded the repeal ot
the whiskey tax as the surest and
best means of maintaining the
present system of high tariff du
ties. The endorsement of the
President's message us the true
meaning of the platform of 1884,
is simply and plainly the accept
ance ot that message as the plat
form of the party in 1888. There
is no ground .for dispute about
that. It is a self evident fact, and
yet Pat Walsh and some other
high tariff people in Georgia, have
the amazing cheek and the insuf
fcrahle hardihood to assert that
their views have been accepted by
the National Democracy, and in
corporated into Ibe platform upon
which Cleveland ami Thurman
will lie elected in November. But
such brazen assertion will not de
ceive anybody. The people have
too much intelligence to be so ea
sily imposed upon, and tile only
wonder is that such misrepresen
tations have not long ago worn out
their patience and forbearance.
There never was a clearer or
more definite expression of views
iijHin any question than those of
the President on the tariff, and
with those views the Democratic
party will goto the country. Imp
ing to stand, but willing to fall,
upon the justice and righteousness
of its cause. The St. Louis Con
venlion did not slop at the en
dorsement of the Presidential
message, hut unanimously ap
proved the Mills tariff lull, and
recommended its passage by Con
gross. There can lie no possible
doubt that tite issue lias been
squarely and fairly presented, and
that the election of the Democratic
ticket will lie the unmistakable
response of the American people
to ibe Democratic demand lor a
reduction of taxation.
Benevolence llewt.
Saturday and Sunday last onr pul
pit wus occupied by the Ucv. J. G.
Corley in lieu of our pastor. We nevq
crliefore had the pleasure of listening
to a sermon from this able minister,
and w e confess our expectations were
fully realized in his etforts on both
days. It was a plea sine to have him
among us, and we hope lie will come
again, as opportunity offers.
Mr. Bob Morris, of our sister town,
is visiting friends in our vicinity.
Miss Nymmie Brooks left for home
last Saturday. It was painful to her

Note — 1S83 bein
’ a prohibition year, if counted as such, the favor-
able showing here made would be enhanced nearly 25 |air cent.
As to the table: Prohibition
might, well claim 1883, tor the re
suit of the election held in No
vember, 1881, had gone effectively
to work in 1882. and by the first
of 1883 iiud routed rum from its
Iasi stronghold. But to be abso
tulely fair, if possible, 1 liavendop
led 1884. ns the first prohibition
year, and have given whiskey the
full benefit of the four flush years
of tlie decade, as well as of the
decade immediately preceding '84
A glance al 1 lie tabic shows that
I have adopted, as being fairly
representative of the whole, five
leading items of lax returns from
our own district, and tile saim-
lleius from the county at large
and have divided each into peri
ods of four years, and then found
Lite average for each item for the
four years. The period from 1880
to 1883. inclusive, being the wliis
key period, and from 1884 to 1887.
inclusive, the period of a better
order of tilings.
The table shows for the town
district an advantage of $20.
526. in the matter ot land val
lies fur the latter period; in the
matter of city real estate for the
same period, the advantage is
shown to average $17,402, and in
tile matter of horses, stock, etc.-,
the advantage for the same period
out iiis case” at any rule; il is
this: In 1883, the aggregate value
of laud in this district, as per tax
digest appears as $282,255, and in
1887 as $275,075, and in 1883 for
the county at $855,245, and in
1887 854.307. These figures suit
ed Mr. Harden's purpose loo well
for him to say, that, bv some
meats or other, land in tliv718ih
district for 1883 was given in for
taxation nearly $40,000 above the
figures of 1882, ami in excess of
j any year prior or subsequent
thereto, and that the $40,000 er
j ror in the town district of course
was perpetuated in the calculation
docs not point to the glad day
jklien notes ami accounts will be
uone at all. and mortgages only a
relic of a barbarous lime that is
past and gone, when merchants
scalped the lmrmers as the red
men scalped our grandfathers, just
to see the lur t(t ? Good friends,
"trade” has hurl many ol us, let
trade now do the squealing, if il
will, but let you auu uie save our
hoys, though the heavens fall; and
let such men as would save trade
al anv Cost of degradation, sin
and suffering to humanity gw else
where to serve their god. Let Lite
owl and the oat come, anil let tin-
spider build his web across the
entrance to every store in Cutli
lici t, but let us be true to our
msobood, and let us protect from
Ibe damnable inllucnc-es of drink
houses those whom God lias given
us to love end to rear. But don't
lie fooled. Your lovely county
site is in no danger; the owls
and the bats are not coming—the
uten who love their offspring, love
as well their homes. Don't, for a
moment tbiuk that the prohibi
tionisls are not as deeply inter
ested in the welfare of Cullibert
as any class of men alive to day.
We know that $15,000 worth of
dty goods in 1882 would not now
be returned for taxes at more
than $10,000 to $12,000 We
know tliat from 1880 to 1883,
vast quantities of corn were ship
ped here, which sold at our stores,
made trade, and that from 1883 to
1887 very little corn lias been
shipped here, and that at low fig
ures. We pledge you our word
that we are sincere when we say
we believe the return of whiskey
to Cutbbcrt will injure our every
prospect, and we are just as ear
nest in our belief as are tiie men
who cry out for the barrooms.—

another serious bruise from

hurt, tilts could never be,) not to
tnenunn the neat little average of
$32,967, gained in horses, stock,
etc., while to offset all the above,
the whiskey period can only show
that il accumulated $22,861 more
in “money, notes and accounts,”
and had an average of $10,813 in
value of merchandise more than
the prohibition perioil.
1 come now to point out in the
table, figures, which cannot fail to
convince all fair men that the cry
“We are being ruined by prohibi
tion,” is raised without just cause,
and from no motive that it is true
and good, if intelligence has any
thing to do with it: In the right
hand column of the lalile, the firs'
figures of the two periods show
the approximate cost of our Supe
rior Court for each year, and the
average for each period. Tiie
whiskey period cost an arcrage ol
$3,362. and the better period
the prohibition period. So far a
"money, uolca ami accounts” are
concerned, money enters very lit
tie into the make up ol the item,
and a decrease of notes and ac
counts, by any means brought
about, is a blessing to the people,
for very few of them ever own
such things, hut generally do
manage somehow or other to owe
them all. 1 am not inclined to
.quibble or to meet any part of
! ibis issue in a'spirit of unfairness;
therefore I say the table before
me makes the fact perfectly pat
ent that Cullibert has paid taxes
upon 23 per cent, (average) year
ly less merchandise during the
iiow has vested rights to be inter
feted with, and we beg you by ev
ery thing that is to your interest,
by the peace and qutetof our com

in making and harvesting a crop,
