FOR GOVERNOR:
ALLEN D. CANDLER, of Hall.
_
FOR CONGRESS, 9th District ,
HOWARD THOMPSON, of Hall,
In speaking of the need in Geor¬
gia of a Constitutional convention,
I)r. Jeff Davis said a few days ago :
“I am in favor of doing away with
all existing laws in Georgia, and
making the ten commandments the
foundation stone for a new consti¬
tution and for all future laws.”
That is good sense, and there is
simple food for reflection in the
above quotation-
The supreme court of the U. S.
has just decided that a state can
not fix a tariff for railroads—in
other words that the railroads are
greater than the will of the people
even if all the people so will.
Where is your boasted self-govern¬
ment? But it is well. It takes
these thinks to awaken the people
to the fact that they arc serfs for
corporations.
A local paper is fearful lest the
Appeal shall stir up revolution.
Not any danger of rousing any
patriotism that has not a $ attach¬
ment in any republican editor.
Patrick Henry could not move one
of these lovers of things as they are
from their idolatry. They would
support the worst tyrant the world
ever saw and swear he was the em¬
bodiment of national virtue. That
McK’ iley and the corrupt sugar
trust crowd about him are enemies
of free government is plain to any
student of ethics. But a few dol¬
lars will make some people totally
blind. Even if they fear that the
next whirl of the social machine
may grind them up in its crusher.
Strange.— Appeal to Reason.
As the train whirled across the
country toward the Rocky Moun¬
tains, 1 noted that a very large ma¬
jority of the houses on farm and
town lots were in a bad state of
repair and being ruined lor lack of
paint, marring the beauty of the
landscape by their atmosphere of
hopelessness. And all the while
there are thousands of painters and
paint makers in woe and want be¬
cause they are not permitted to
work! What a beautiful country
and beautiful system it is that pro¬
duces such effects! Evidences of
prosperity? Yes, even greater than
the debts, which some people re¬
gard as prima facia evidence that
the debtors are prosperous. And
the people are afraid of co-opera¬
tion under which every worker
would always have a place to work
and get all his labor produced. That
would ruin the country, you know.
You are one of those, doubtless,
who would hold up your hands in
holy horror at the idea of selling
your children into slavery. But
what is the difference except in
form whether I sell my children
into slavery or vote bonds that my
children will have to pay? Bonds
mean bondage. That is all slavery
means. A new generation are on
the etirth today who are bounded to
pay the sums and interest which
their fathers foolishly spent in
firing off gun-powder. 1 he
ent generation had nothing to do
with their affairs, got no benefit.
and have not a voice in the matter.
I say all such bondage is wrong and
that' the living should control and
not be ruled bv the mistakes of the
dead. If a man were to present
you 'had a note that vour grand-father
made and which money he had
squandered, perhaps in
and demand that you pay it, you
asking of you. And so long as
they can make you believe you owe
it they will have you in bondage
and vour children after vou.—Ap-
p i. to Keason.

One noticeable feature of the
Tate papers in this destrict is that
they have been getting “new pres¬

or so. Tate knows when to “shell

support him do it as a matter of

Switzerland is about the size and
has about the population of Ohio.
Her people make the laws by di-
rect vote. Since the method has
been in vogue, there has never been
any such scenes as has been wit¬
nessed in the Ohio legislature for
years. There has been no accusa¬
tions of selling out, of pushing
private interests, of venality^. The
cost of operating the legislative and
executive branches of the nation is
not one-tenth what it costs the peo¬
ple of Ohio. It costs but $4 per
person for government while in
this country it costs $8. Its pub¬
lic debt is $12,000,000 less than its
productive public property. It has
more wealth per capita than Ohio.
If direct legislation works so well
in that little country, why would it
not be well to try it in our state
governments, even if it might be
too unwieldly in national affairs?
It would astonish you to see how
nicely it works there and how much
in love with it all classes are—ex¬
cepting perhaps the very richest.
It Will Not Pan Out.
The star chamber conference of
Bob Berner and Railroad Commis¬
sioner Atkinson in the office of that
republican make-shift, the Macon
Telegraph, shows how far these
saintly democrats will go and what
means they will employ to try to
defeat one of nature’s noble men.
Hon. Allen D.(Candler, forthego\-
ernorship nomination.
It is understood that the purpose
of this conference was to swap
votes, but we warn then now that
their vote swapping plan will not
pan out.
The modus operandi seems to be
about this : In those counties where
Atkinson is supposed to be strong¬
er than Berner, it is proposed that
the Berner men vote for Atkinson,
and the counties where the Berner
men are stronger than the Atkin¬
son ites the Atkinson men will vote
for Berner, thus these two bullet¬
headed politicians form a combine
by which they hope to beat Candler
As a matter of fact the people of
Georgia will not countenance such
jobbery as these two tricksters seem
to think, but they will bury the
soft-handed patriots,Railroad Com¬
missioner Atkinson and Gold-Stan¬
dard Bob Berner under a mountain
of votes and seat the hero of Jones¬
boro Hon. Allen D. Candler,in the
governor’s chair,

The Fading Declaration.
The Declaration of Independence
is kept between two great plates
of glass, the edges ol which are
hermetrically sealed. At intervals
and as a special favor t he custodial!
pulls out a drawer in a huge steel
box and shows the treasure. But
most of the time the two plates,
with their sheet of parchment be¬
tween, rest where burglars cannot
break through, where fire cannot
reach, and where daylight cannot
complete the ravages already
wrought by exposure. Visitors to
(he .State Department who want to
see the Declaration are shown a
pertect fac-simile, which hangs in
a handsome frame and looks old
enough to be the original. They go
away none the wiser for the substi¬
tution. The truth is, says the St.
Louis Globe-Democrat, that the
Declaration was fast becoming a
tradition when the extraordinary
steps for its preservation were taken
about three years ago.
In the Administration of John
Quincy Adams a copper plate of
the original was made. To get the
copy for the engraver the surface
of the parchment was moistened
with a wet cloth. A print was
taken. It removed about 50 per
cent of the ink. For some years
the original was exhibited under
glass at the Patent Office. It hung
where the sun reached a short time
each day, and the discovery was
made that the script was fading.
Better care was taken when the
Declaration was hung in the libra¬
ry of the new State Department
building. But for some reason nev-
er satisfactorily explained the sig-
natures suddenly seemed to be fad-
iug. John Hancock’s name, one
of the boldest on the sheet, in the
space of two or three years became
too dim to distinguish. Then the
officials having charge saw that if
lett in the light the original would
in a few year entirely disappear.
The strong box was built. The
plates of glass were obtained and
sealed. In the drawer, underneath
the Declaration, the copper plate
made in Adam's time is kept.
The Declaration can be decipher-
ed with the aid of a giass, but the
signatures are about entirely faded
out. What is left of the revered
instrument will, with present pre-
cautions, last a long time.

CO-OPERATION AT
ITS HIGHEST POINT
Topolobampo Colonists Doing
Their Best to Realize
ideals.
EXPERIMENT IN COLORADO
Ditches Being Built to Irrigate
15,000 Acres of Land.
While there have been many fail-
ures in co-operation, enough to
rencter questionable the possibility
uniting in one enterprise of this
character the requisite number of
absolutely honest men, there are
lli ... . , , . .
* P LI V c " li() >e ie\e m it stam
ready to put in their money to
monstrate the practicability of the
idea. That co-operation is advan-
t ls when carried out on bush
ness ptinciples is shown by the
strength of great commercial and
financial corporations, but one
source of weakness of ordinarv co
’
1 , ion schemes is the fact thal
the >’ have been to ° ea S er to d,vlde
profits before they are earned,
practically declaring dividends in
advance by giving members certain
rebates, , , regardless ,. ot r f tuture , contin¬
gencies which no one can foresee
and which are always taken into
consideration by careful business
men.
Co-operation i n agricultural
schemes is yet in its infancy, and,
while in some parts of the country
j t has been due to the fact that the
members were united by some tie
other than the desire to make mon-
ey. The Shaker communities and
the Economists of Western Pennsyl¬
vania are not able instances of suc-
cess in co-operation, but in both
cases the basis of union is a religious
sentiment, which dominates all ideas
of property ownership, while the
managers have usually been men ot
signal ability, But the idea is one
that will not down and will come
a p jo some shape or other as long
as there are any poor in the land.
For nearly three years a co-opera-
tive association has been in existence
in Colorado, working quietly but
effectively in perfecting its plans,
which have not yet been entirely
carried into effect. It includes
among its members a number of the
members of the Topolobampo colo-
ny of Old Mexico. It is claimed
•that the failure of that colony was
due to the treachery and avaricious¬
ness of certain ot its members, and
that the underlying principles of co¬
operation were in no wise affected
by this failure.
The opportunity, for another ef¬
fort to carry out the principles of
co-operation was afforded by the re¬
moval of the Utes in 1881 and the
opening of the land for settlement.
The lands which it is proposed to
reclaim are locatied in Tabeguache
Park, in the southwestern part of
Montrose County, fifty miles south-
west of Montrose and seventy-five
miles south of Grand Junction,
The park is fifteen miles long and
from two to four miles wide, and is
about 300 feet above the bed of the
San Migel River, with an altitude
; of 4,800 feet at the west end and
5,400 at the east end.
The association is known as the
Colorado Co-operative Company,
and it is not an investment com-
pany,has no lands nor water to sell,
and no water to supply except to
members. The benefits are to be
distributed equitably among the
members. To irrigate the land ar.d
furnish water power for the com-
pany is now building a ditch from
. cc .. , , .
a point ntteen miles above the park
on the Sen Miguel River to the
highest point on, the eastern end of
the park. The dirt work will be
‘welve feet wide on the bottom,
oghtcen feet at the top and four
feet deep, with a fall of four feet
to the mile. The flume will be
e : ght feet wide and four feet deep,
with a fall of eight feet to the mile,
p-ivintr o°c the ditch a c irrvinp-canicitv c
oflSo feet ° 4
to the second, or sufficient .

to irrigate 15,000 acres of land,
The wor k is well under way and
progressing rapidly.
To become a member of the com¬
pany application, enclosing $10 as
first payment, must be sent to the
secretary or some authorized agent
of the company. Membership in¬
cludes the purchase of one share of
stock of the par value of $ 100,upon
which there is at present time a
premium of $10, making a member¬
ship cost $no. After January i,
1898, ths premiums will be advanc¬
ed to $20, with a quarterly raise ol
$10, thereafter. The membership
fee is payable in instalments if de¬
sired.
Only one share ot stock will be
sold to each member, and no stock
will be sold to persons
not members. A member is enti-
tied to secure a water right for not
more than forty acres of land at the
cost of the same; he is also entitled
to all the privileges of the compani
products at cost; also employme t
by the company at the establis, d
wages. At the present time the
company employes none but mem-
bers. Until the ditch is completed
the company can furnish only
members who are working for the
com P an y with necessary food sup-
pfi®® and shelter , the balance of
their credits due on wages will be
founded against their water rights,
^ ages at the piesent time are
t wenty cents an hour,ten hours con-
stituting a day s work,
Since the organization of the
company in 1S94 the membership
has gradually increased, until now
there are two hundred .members.
Very few of these men are even
fairly well provided with world’s
goods and yet they, co-operating—
joining the means they did have
and their labor—they have succeed-
ed in doing $20,000 worth of work
toward completing the ditch. They
have sufficient resources to finish
the work, the estimated cost of
which will be $100,000. Every
dollar’s worth of work on the ditch
adds $5 to the value of the land ly-
beneath it, and when the ditch
is finally completed it will represent
a value of $100,000 for the ditch.
which will belong to the company,
and $500,000 to the land, which
will belong to the individuals. The
cash received for membership is
used to purchase tools and supplies
for workers on the ground, who
now number about twenty-five per
cent of the total membership,
The rate of progress depends up-
on the number of men employed,
This number will be increased as
means are supplied to feed and
equip them for the work. As fast
as new members are added to the
company more men will be put on
the work.
Mr. Gallatin, in speaking of the
objects of the company yesterday,
said : “We have not cared for
publicity .. because have lands
we no
,o sell and are not operating an in-
vestment company. Our objects
are to benefit members only. We
are working first to secure title to
the entire tract lying under our
ditch, and then to give to each in-
dividual his tract of land at actual
cost. All public buildings and
