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! Editors Enterprise it Appeal: There are questions of grave public interest raised by Mr. Har den's card, published in the Liber al last week.

World finds it necessary to increase its size in order to nceommoilate its large and growing advertising patron age. We are glad to sec our brrlheren prospering. In the midst of nurenlittisiasni over the nomination ofClevelnnd. and the endorsement of his laritl views, let us not forget the great questions that must be decided by our next Legislature. The Democracy at St. Louis en Horsed tits President's message, and unanimously recommended the passage of the Mills bill. Docs anybody feel like lie has been “read out of the party?"’ The Constitution and the Chron icle, having got back into the 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 party. The St, Louis convention decided that the recent message of President Cleveland shall be the platform of the party upon the tariff" question. 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 publicans? A few half hearted Democrats indicated that they would die if they did not get ‘-18S4’' in the platform Lomchow or oilier They got it, and we hope they are satis fied. Col. J. H. Eslill, of Savannah, has been elected to succed Hon. Patrick Walsh as the Georgia member of the National Demo cralic Executive Committee. We congratulate the people of the State upon the change thus made. Col. Eslill represents the views and wishes of the Georgia Demo crats. Kbrllnta* Short (Slops.

He dwelt at length upon reasons why school children should begin early to serve God. It was eloquent and im pressive throughout. “Guide me, oh lliou great Jehovah,” was superbly rendered, as a closing song by the choir. Among the visitors, we see Miss Annie Mattox, Messrs. Key Simpson, Broadus Rogers, Lee Chil ders, Will Harvey, John Twitty, Hen 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 friends here, but no doubt very pleas ant to tlio.se among whom site is going. MissA'ym promises to eonie again, however.

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 ?

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.— We, at any rale, are on safe ground.

Believe us, we would am not say Mr. If. saw the error, but hurt you for the world. No one 1 do say tie picked out the figures that suited him to compare—else, when lie wanted to compare the figures us to merchandise, why did lie drop 1S83 and take those for 1882? The reaaon is simple, and justifies me in what I have said. The Ggures Tor 18S2 show ed $37,480 more merchandise than did those for 1883, and of course belter suited bis pur|iose to com pare with those of'87. The truth is, 1SS3 showed half as much falling off in that one particular, as did 1S87. This all goes to show that my system of averages is better is $6,977, while iu the matter of | and safer to rely upon than taola “Money, notes and accounts.” the; ted returns selected to fit intnecr- first or whiskey period sho»s an i tain preconceived notions of facts average advantage of $18,395, and ! d have said something about the in the matter of merchandise j figures in the table going to show returned, the whisker period has; that prohibition does not hurt.

Thus. * 6key gets a black eye under sledge hammer blow of $101. 306 average increase in land val ues under the better period, and another serious bruise from $39,574 gained in city real estate, (evidently, if prohibition 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 mindly, by the interest we all have in making and harvesting a crop, and by that community of inter est which hiuds us together us a “white man's parly, not for a mo uienl to think of tearing down the bulwarks of safety in order to lei ignorant and irresponsible negroes decide this great question lor us.
