HASTY EFFORTS NOT NEEDED, Fleming DuBIgnon Gives Ilfs View of the Efforts to Reorganize the Domooratlc Parry. Savannah, Ga., Nov. 10.—Hon. F. G. (luBignon, chairman of the State Democratic Executive Com mittee, was this morning asked for his opinion of the eii’ort to re-organize the Democratic party. Mr. duBignon said he did not think that any sudden or hasty effort would or should be made toward re-organizing the Demo cratic party—that of course there was a losson in the defeat of the party on last Tuesday which would not ho,overlooked, but that the policy of the Democratic party in the future would be controlled by those men who had been loyal to the party organiza tion, and that its counsels would never be swnyed by those who had deserted it in the time of its need. Confidentially now, our opin ion is that Bryan was defeated because McKinley got the most votes. We do not all agree on-politics, but wo can all agree in pulling together for the upbuilding of Oodartown and Polk county. be re-organized, it must be by the men who fought its battles, and not by skulkers and deserters. Under a change in the law, the election for Justices of the Peace and Bailiffs will be bold here after on the first Saturday in December. Now, let everybody get to gether and work for Oedartown and Polk county. As we are to have four years of republican prosperity for the whole country, let’s have four years of real, live, bustlingbusiness for Oedartown. With three cotton mills, a fur nace, a knitting mill, cotton oil mill and two foundries in opera tion, a spinning and knitting mill in course of construction, and another big cotton factory promised, Oedartown is certainly “strictly in it.” A strong movement is on foot in tile Legislature to make its sessions biennial instead of an nual. Well, once in two years is often enough. It would give plenty of time for all needed legislation, would save the state heavy expense, and would re move the possibility of many “fool laws.” The State Agricultural Depart ment is doing a good thing in protecting our people from the importation of the San Jose scale, tlie deadly enemy of fruit and forest trees. The Cumberland Nursery, of Nashville, Tenn., sent a shipment of infected trees to Georgia last week in violation of law, and Commissioner Stevens had them confiscated and burned. AN EXPLANATION. In justice to Hon. Philip Cook, our popular and cnpablo Secre tary of State, we publish the fol lowing letter from him in re sponse to our comments last week on his proposed plan for a uni form system of granting charters for manufacturing enterprises:— Atlanta, Nov. 0th.,>1000. Dear Sirs:—From your remarks in the marked copy sent me, I see that you have misunderstood my purpose in recommending a uniform system of charters for State Corporations. It was not my purpose to have changed the present law requiring suoli corpor ations to advertise their intention to apply for charters and amendments to nhartera in the “official gazette of the county in which Is to he located the principal oflico of the corporation,” etc. I simply wanted to be in a posi tion to answer tile hundreds of In quiries received at this office in re gard to all kinds of corporations of which we have no record. It would Bimply mean more work for my olerk and myself, without additional pay, as our salaries are fixed by the constitu tion of the stale, and all fees received hero are turned into the Slate Treas ury, as required by law. No, indeed, it was never my Idea to change the method of advertising. I feel that tile residents in the locality in which the corporation is to be es tablished are the parties most inter ested, next to the incorporators, and certainly the "home paper” Is the one assured medium through whiolt to notify them of the intended applica tion for charter. Yours very truly, Philip Cook, Secretary of State. Tito explanation of Mr. Oook is ample and satisfactory, and tlie Georgia Legislature will do good tiling for the state by tak ing action on tlie line suggested by him. $100 Howard, $100.

Hall's family Pills are the best, MANLY in defeat. After ono of the most remark able campaigns in history, Hon. William Jennings Bryan lias gone down in defeat—a victim of the “prosperity” argument. Mr. Bryan takes his defeat without bitterness, and his manly course since the election will strengthen the great hold lie lias had upon tho masses of fair- minded people. He says': “We were defeated but are not discouraged. The fight must go on. I am sure that republi can policies will be repudiated by the people when tlie tendency of these policies are fully under stood. The contest between plu tocracy and democracy cannot end until one or the other incom pletely triumphant. I shall not lie a senatorial candidate before the legislature which lias been elected. Senator Allen' deserves the senatorship, which goes to the populists. Mr. Hitchcock and Mr. W. H. Thomp son are avowed candidates for the Democratic senatorship. They both deserve well of the party, and I am too grateful to them for past support to stand in their way, even if I desired a seat in the senate. I made my fight for the presidency and I lost. I nm not going to take other men’s po sitions from them.” One of tho strongest arguments against tlie continuation of the republican party in power was its fostering of the trusts. Since the election tlie Beef Trust-lias advanced the price of all meats a cent a pound, but there has been no corresponding increase in the price of cattle, hogs and sheep. Tlie trusts will be prosperous— nt the expense of the people. Let us hope the people will he prosperous enough to stand it.

Georgia enjoys the distinction of paying mor<f money than any othe state to Confederate veterans—in fact, more than twice as much. Georgia has more than trebled the amount so paid since she began to pension the decrepit and needy sol diers of the Confederacy. The other Southern states are likewise moving forward in the matter of this duty, At last Tuesday’s election Louisiana adopted an amendment to her consti tution which provides that a pension not to exceed $8 per month shall be allowed to each Confederate soldier or sailor veteran who possesses ail of'the following qualifications: “1. He shall have served honorably from the date of his enlistment until the close of the civil war, or until he was discharged or paroled, in some military organization regularly mus tered into the army or navy of the Confederate States until the surrender, “2. He shall be in indigent circum stances and unable to earn a liveli hood by his own.labor or skill. “8. He shall not be salaried or otherwise provided for by the state of Louisiana, or by any 'other state or government.” The amendment authorizes the Gen eral Assembly of the state to appro priate for the said pensions an amount which shall not be less than $50,000 nor more than $75,000 in any one year, provided that nothing In this article shall be construed so as to prohibit the General Assembly from providing ar tificial limbs to disabled Confederate soldiers or sailors. Is there not something in this*Lou» isiann amendment which demands and should receive tho consideration and action of the Georgia Legislature at its present session? Should the state pay pensions to Confederate veterans who do not need them? It is said that there are some rich men in Georgia who accept pensions for service and injuries in the Confed erate army; that there are others who receive large salaries and yet take the state’s bounty. A Confederate veteran who has as good a war record as any man in Geor gia tells The Journal that he has rea son to believe that at least one thou sand men who are now drawing pen sions from this state are perfectly in dependent of this means of‘support. The man who makes this statement is poor and advanced in years. He has a full title to n pension, but he has never asserted it, because he works hard and is able to make a living. Is it right for the tax-payers of Georgia tQ_i)e assessed for pensions for men who have more property and larger in comes than 09-100 of the people‘of this state? This question is being asked with greater emphasis every day, and must be answered sooner or later.r- Atlanta Journal. — ■ ■»•♦--- For sprains, swellings and lameness there is nothing so good as Chamber lain’s Pain Balm.
