The main reason «ome folks arc w well -ati-ti-d with their brains in d their achievements are that tfcfj havn’t any. That fino ofrm forever on dis play in the lime light of garish pub licity, is notjinfrequently the work of the tailor or dress maker—rath er than thi t of their forebears, or their -chool Teachers. Evidently .some folks there be who r gard a charity or bit of church work as a stepping stone t „.ocni |)ro!iiinence and the litne lii'ht >f garishness—else they’d never be there.

Sound Sense From Sena tor Bacon. •^nator A. O. Bacon, in reponse to a request ot The Savannah Press, w ritten an admirable article up*- °n the duty ot Democrats whieh will read with interest all ovoc the f - 8 ’e, and all over the South. Por J ' ai matter, it should attract atten* 11 11 heXorth, i.ecause, as Se na- lyr Eacoa points out, there is no reason why the Republican party •tould remain a sectional party, and the Solid North in its grip tor time. " e can understand why the North *hould have voted the Republican l ' c ^t .n i860, seeing that slavery ** 5 the i*sue, and the North had al. BAIHS8ID6E. SEORQIfi, THURSDAY MORRINC, OECEMBER 24. I90S. ; Yol.39 ready sold her slaves to .the south. We can understand why the North should have voted the Republican ticket, just alter the war, for the passions of a great strusrgirf still burned in iheir breasts, and the in- fluei ce of the man on horseback was uppermost among their leaders. Ihut alignment was not based upon ieason, but upon prejudice, but why the North should now insist in dwelling within the blight ot a great prejudice, we caanot understand. 1 hey vote as they shot forty years after the war is over. They line up with the one influence long after that influence should become a reminis scence. They insist upon outlawing one part of their country and upon trying to discredit everything that we do. Senator Bacon’s article is written in a very clear und judical vein; he traces out the fundamental differ, enefsbetwee nthe two parties; lie points out the rights of the states,the importance ot dreserving the separ - ate branches of the governihent; ot the necessity of administering the departments of the government economically Senator Bi-.con reach es the crux ot the article when he says that the Republican pirty, it it did not have privileges to grant to the favored c asses, would fall to pieces tomorrow. His idea is, that # # 1 it is without form or void; that it was without living principles or vit al issues; that it is kept togelhpr by the cohesive power of public pluu- der. The idea that the South would prosper more if it would repudiate its political allegiance is pronounced by the senator as the veriest rot He shows how the South has pros pered in every way while still ad hering to the Democratic ticket. It has gone ah ad faster thau any sec tion of the Union, in spite of the fact that our enemies say we are weighed dowu by a Democratic ins cubus. But for the iact that the Democrats have fought the legisla tion of the Republicans for the last forty years, the south would have b^en reduced to the level of Ilayti. Now that this danger has passed be cause ot the heroic stand of the Democrats, we are asked to desert the party whieh tried to ruin us. This is poor policy. It is not good business sense; it i* not sate politi cal advfce. Major Bacon puts thi« part of his letter very strongly and must convince every man that the Democratic party was right in fight ing the principles ot the Fifteenth amendment, and that it cannot sur render so long as its opponents insist u; on such a radical me sure, and such unnatural revolution. Under Major Bacon’s diagnosis, the Demo cratic party has protected our civi lization, and has advanced our ma. ter al prosperity. Every effort which Southern people have made to equal ize tariff taxation has failed. A reys enue tariff must incidentally be a protective tariff*. The burdens should be equally distr bntea and if there are to be benefits they should like wise be faiily apportioned among the different people aud the different ihterests. The plea of the spoilsman, that bounties and tariff benefits and po litical fees will be handed out to the South, it it will only reverse its alle giance and fell down and worship the new fetich, justly reminds Sena-, tor Bacon of the obsession which the Master was called apon to make in the Wilderness.—Press. lie That Is Medicine! uffered a good deal with ma tomach complaint*, but I oand a remedy that keep: id that remedy is Electri nedicin# that is medicine fo id liver trouble*, aud for ru itiens,”*aysW.
