show
7h« returns from many of ihe
n ,rtheru and western .tales plain
ly indicate the fact tkatthe demo
ns nominated the wrong man for
president. They elected demo
cratic stae officers and a republi
can president wnich gives the ap
pearance that they had no faith in
nor did not like Bryan.
The nomination of Mr. Bryan for
& third time was an idiotic nrocc—
dure; behind it was the passionate
umeason of a class of politicians
witnout capacity for leadership or
understanding of statesmanship
The thinking democrats of the
cuntry deliberately concluded
that the rehabilitation of the dem
ocratic party would be hopeless
until the Bryan mania should
spend itself, and so they fell in
with the Denvi-r program and fol-
trntd Mack, Haskell, Woodson
and the rest of their crew Jto ine . i-
tahie disaster. Whether or not the
people who believe in the real
principles of democracy will bi al»
lowed to direct the party’s activi
ties in the future remains to be
Business Will Boom.
The 'election of Mr. Tuft will
mean the beginning of additional
prosperity: thet is, it will mean
more Jor those who hove money
and something for the unpr r -sper>.
M ur as well. The men of brains
and enterprise who were crippled
by the panic, who were dishearten,
ed by their losse*, have had
ti ne to get their second wind.
Some of the old leaders may have
fallen by the wavside, but others
will arise to take their place, im
patient at the long delay attendant
upon the uncertainty of the eke
tion.
Crush The Night Riders.
Martial law prevails in that part
of Tennessee where ‘‘night riders”
have been most violent. It is a sad
state of afiairs, The same lawless
spirit cursed Kentucky. Lands,
fertile lands, thousands of acres
once in prosperous cultivaticn, are
idle and deserted; thousands of
farmers have fled (hose sections,
because intimidated; property
worth millions of dollars has been
destroyed. That is whai indul
gence in lawlessness and violence
bring- ;that is the result of defiance
of law and public sentiment. God
forbid we shall have such scenes
in Georgia,
Every consideration of sanity, of
self-defense, of soundest public
policy, demands that the “night
rider” in Georgia shall be cru-hed
with an :ron and relentless hand.

Albany to St. Andrews Bay)
There is no longer oecas on for
loubt that work of comaruciing the
Georgiy Southwestern and Gulf
Railroad from Albany and Dawson
to St. Andrews Bay, Florida, will
soon begin. There has been filed
for record in Dougherty county a
mortgage for the railroad company,
through its president, W. vl. Legg,
an* II. J Bruton, Iroin BaiubriJge,
secretary and treasurer,tor $4,0o0,o0o
to the Uarnegie Trust Co , 'of New
York. The road is to cost not more
than $20,o0o a mile and the Railroad
Commission has authorized the issue
of bonds in the sum ot §4,o00,0oo.
The mortgage recites that it is the
; urpose ot the company to build a
line of railroad from Dawson an !
Albany in a southweaterly direction
througri Terrell,Calhoun,Dougherty,
Baker, Miller and Decatur counties
in Georgia, and through Jackson,
Calhoun and Washington counties
in Flo ida, to Dyers Point, which is
located on St. Andrews Bav, Gulf of
Mexico, a distance of 157 mile-. It
is stated that it is also the intention
ot the company to build branch hues
and acquire others by purchase,
making an aggregate mileage of
ab< ut 200. First and last, seyeu
companies have been chartered to
build a Iin- ol railroad from Aloany
to St. Andrews Bay.. But the Legg-
Bruton and associates enterprise is a
certainty and we felicitate this en
tire section upon the fact. Hurrah
for the new enterprise.

We Think So, Too-
We copy to endorse the following
sentiments clipped frfcm the Atlanta
Georgia:
The party that rises up to defeat
the Republican party must be be
yond suspicion in its organization as
well as in its intents.
As to fear of Mr. Bryan personally
it occur, to us that the tree silver
doctrine ot 1896; the storm of anti-
imperialism in 19o0 and the procla
mation for government ownership ol
railroads in New York in 19o6 have
lingered in the minds of the people
and have caused them to regard the
Nebraskan a# a wild and flighty the
orist, a dangerous doctrinaire.
So much iorour explanation of the
reason why. .
The next three years are a rat gntv
fine time for the peop e ot thiscouns
try—who have a distaste for the
Rooseveltian dynasty, tor the rule
ot “protection, privilege and plntoc
racy ” and for those otber “’ Sn8 0t
which the Republican party is g«>I'
.y to do some tail thinking.
And our slogan is—
Let the people think.
