- 4TLE^ P VNkffiE'i TUESDAY MORNING APRIL i9 1892 ' - - THE ADDRESS OFCAPT. W.B. BURNETTLASTSAT- URDAY NIGHT UPON ACCEPTING THE OFFICE Of President of the Democratic Club— Full of Good Democratic Doc trine—The Democrats of - Clarke Will do their Sharecf work. Thespe'c'i of Cap’,. W. B. Burnett in accepting the presidency.of the Young Men’s Democratic Club of Clarke is given below. It is fu’l cf sound Demo cratic doctrine and shows that the de mocracy of Cltrke is enlistid for the warfare. Cnpt. Burnett said: I should be uttei ly unworthy the high position to which you have just< lecied me if I remained uotnovtd by this mark of your conlidenc", or ungrateful for the honor conf-.rred. I trust that nei ther by word, nor act of ni ne shall that coi.fld nee ever be shaken, and • that when occasion or the interest of our pariy shall require it, I shall re sign the honor bright and uutaruished to the hands that conferred ir. It is not for me in this presence to commend, or cnt.eize toe wisdom of- your selection. I.et time and the record entir judg- im nt as to this. But fellow citizens, in the abundance of truth 1 may assure you that, whatever c-lse you have dune, you have elected a Democrat. Yes, my countrymen 1 was born a Democrat, ai d I. glory in the nuns. I shall continue to worship with my face toward the temple, unmoved by popular clamor, unavred by pow*r, ai.d “If I f rget thee, ol Jerusalem, lit my right hand forget her cunning, if I do not remem ber thee, let my tongue cleave to’ the roof of my mouth.” in tin nurtuie and sdaion'tion of the {rinciples of Jefferson and Jackson I have lived, and moved and had my being all the days of my life. And in this faith I shall die. In assuming the duties cf my posi tion I am fully alive to its responsibil i ties. 1 am notan alarmist, and I have an abiding faith in the immortality of De mocracy. But from'the watch towers and bat tlements of the parly the storm signal is llying, the danger signal is die played. A crisis has arisen in our history. The issues of the hour are far reaching and momentous. The weal or woe of generations yet ’ n Georgia depend upon the un ity and success Sf Democracy^ The peace and happiness of our country is at Stake- The safety of our altirs and Presides is imperiled. It is an hour of danger, it is the hour of trial. It is an hour win n “no true Democrat can af ford to fan the fires of passion, that they may light his pathway to office. T A secret, crafty and insidious foe i upon us, fostered, aided and encour aged by the Republican patty. Seizing upon the discontent oi the “plundered plowmen and beggared yeomanry” they have sown the seed of politic ll discord ^ and Eeek to sffp and undermine the very j^^_i«adation < f our party. HfT. By their heroic words and flattering promises cf unive sal financial salva tion, the unwary are caught, the un learned deceived. Hoik st men aud true from the ranks and dies cf d moc- racy have been prosiljt.d to this new and untried political faith, and, like tbe rebellious Israelites of o!d, B have foresworn the faith of onr fathers and have bowed tbe knee to this brazen c Jf of Thiid party- isin. And with all tbe love of new con verts these same misguided men ere to day crying out, what has Democracy ever done for us. Oh! my courtry- men, who hath bewitched you? Have you forgotten so soon tbe days of ’CS? Hava all the horrors cf ri construction faded from your memories? Has the drum beat of the garrison end tbe de spotism cf ilia tyrant found no lodgment in memory? In that dread hour of desolation, when hope and liberty and all seemed lest, when vice was a passport topovri r and venali ty the avenue to preferment. when the asheB cf your home lay on your hearth stones and the ashes c f your hopes upon your bear), when intelli gence and virtue were disfranchised at.d ignorance and vice were elevated to power. It met an answer, who was it murdered by military tyrai tsand armed eo dieTy pumpted to do their masters will.” That denounced the ii fimies cf reconstruction aud the outrage of tbe usur- unt’l they stuck to heaven? Was it the apostles of the Thrrd prr- ty, these, seif appointed saviors of the people? Was it C.C. Post, that political rene gade, who has belonged to all parties, been true to none? Was it fruitless Branch, or barren Peak? Where were these leaders then? I’ll tell you where Post was. He was at the frozen North polluting with his barpy touch at.d foul breath tbe fair name t-f the South, and denouncing our people as outlaws and traitors. In that hour of desolation and despair it was the heralds and champions of Democra- t cy, who at the hazirdol p rscnal safe- 1 ty and private fortune w ret tod the gov ernment from tbe hands of tbe rene- j gules and oarp itbagg irs and scale j wags and robbers, and rtturn.d it to i. the hands of the people. Where God j grant it may rest Iwever! My countrymen, when I recall tbe tci rible scenes of that period, clear and distinct against the horizon stands oat in bold relief the matob- (eaa form of the immortal dead, cf Beni. Harvey Hill. “ 0b! «U touch of the]vanished band. A sound of tbe voice that is still.” If it is permitted to tbe spirits of the immortal dead to participite in the af fairs of men,'we invoke thy aid intlii®, the cause of thy people, (thou mat tyred sp rit of our peerless Hill. What has Democracy done for us? Let us rather ask, ivbat has it not done? Until the war It was the champion of the rights of the states, of a strict con struction of the constitution, of econo my in public expenditures and of judi cious internal public ini| rovemen*?. Since the termination of that unhappy step It has redeem'd us from the h r- r; rs of reconstruction, it drew Bu'l vek, and B’odset and the horde of corrup tionists that fellow ed in their wake from power. In accomplished on tbe hustings and in the forum what southern valor vain ly strove to achieve in the field It has fought rtep by tt p the encroachments of ag- gteg&ted capital and giant monopoly. It has advocated at all times and un der all circumstances honesty and ec n- otny in the expenditure rf the publi monies, and a repeal of the robber tar iff. It has ever been the constsnt, fear less faithful advocate of constitutional government and civil liberty. Her record is without a parallel in the history of the political parties of the earth. Battle scaired and laurel- crown* d there she s'ani’s 1 shall en- J. ter on hoecomium upon her. She netd- none. The worl 1 knows her histiiy Del eat cannot destroy, nor disaster van quish her. Paity strife and b'in-i am bition may hawk at and tear her.’’ Fol ly and madness may maim, hut she will survive them all and live on in the strength of her manhood and full of her original spirit.

He reviewed the St. Lonis convention and showed the rottenness of the whole thing from beginning to end. Among other things.he read a letter from Hum phries, the man who cast the negro votes at St. Lonis, a letter to E. L. Richardson, president of the Colored Alliance. The letter was bristling with incendiary doctrine. In referring to his vote for Crisp ha said he was willing for posterity to judge him l»y the vote he cast for him. At this juncture. u wild and woolly- looking fellow, with fire in his eye and a blue shirt under his coat, arose, point ed liis linger at Livingston, and cried : ."Can I ask you a questiou ?” "Certainly, my friend,” replied the colonel with a smile. "If the People’s party, ” shouted the stranger, "nominates a candidate for first or second place ou the ticket you will vote for him?” "Show me the platform on which lie stands and I will answer you, "cried the colonel The stranger and people began to whisper that bis name was Chinn and that he was from Lovejoy. Somewhat nonplussed at which Colonel Livingston cried: "I wouldn't vote for Gabriel simply because he was Gabriel. After a few more interrogations and interruptions, in which tne stranger ex hibited much feeling. Colonel Living ston bent forward and said in a patron izing manner: "Whom the gods seek to destroy, my friend, they first make mad. You go cool yourself off, take a drink of spring water, and that will quiet you. You listen to me. I’ll act square with you aud will treat you like a gentleman." "You are right, colonel, I’m with you,” cried the stranger, stretching his hand toward the speaker, and when the noise subsided, Col. Livingston renewed 'it by saying as he smiled, "Another con vert made, boys. ” The stranger sub sided and the colonel continued his speech. _ .

Philadelphia, April 12. —When spo ken to in reference to the reported dec laration of Senator Wallace in favor of haring the Democratic state convention indorse Governor Pattison as candidate for president, Secretary of State H.trri- ty said: "I know whereof 1 speak when 1 state that Governor Pattisoii has not con seated to have liis name placed b -fore the coming Deinocraticstate convention as a candidate for president, either :> the first or second choice of the Democ racy of Pennsylvania. I am sure that any movement started for any sue i purpose would not meet with his appro val. "Gov. Pattison is unquestionably very strong in the affections and confidence of the people of this State, and if Mr. Cleveland were not a candidate, I be lieve that the governor would receive the united support of the Pennsylvania del egation to the Democratic N itio.uil Con vention, as he would oiV tile delegations from some other States. But Democrats of this S ate favor Cleveland as the can didate for the President, and are certain to support him with emphasis and cor diality. Those who mean to give Cleve land their sincere and earnest support are among the warmest Irien Is that Gov. Pattison has m Pennsylvania, aud I can assure you that they will lo so with the unqualified approval of the governor himself. ” The Socialists in Massachusetts.

Hints Concerning Its Cultivation—Earl; Medium and Late Varieties. One-half of the cultivation of the corn crop consists in reducing the soil to a thoroughly broken np and mellow condi tion previous to planting. A rich, warm, alluvial soil is best. A wide variation in the time of planting is allowable in most sections. At the north notliing is gained' by planting sweet corn' before the temperature of soil and atmosphere are right for growth. The seed will make no progress until the weather is warm, and in many cases it will rot. All varieties of sweet corn may be either sown in rows feet apart and the seed placed about eight inches apart in the rows or planted in hills at distances of three or four feet each tvay, according to the variety grown and the richness of the soil. Manures and commercial fer tilizers ought not to be buried too deeply, for the root growth of the plant is near the surface. Shallow culture is now generally conceded to be better than deep culture for the growing crop. Children Cry for Pitcher’s Castorla.

Treatment of Chicks. After hatching leave the chicks in the nest for twenty-four hours. Take the hen away, feed her well and give water to drink. On coming out of nest feed chicks on bread soaked in milk and squeezed dry, or give dry bread crumbs. After a few days give chicks all they can eat, as often as they will, of bread and milk or bread crumbs. After sec ond day give milk or water in shallow pans for drink. Be careful bread is not fed too sloppy or looseness will follow. If chicks appear sick or drooping look for lice. Dust with insect powder care fully. After two weeks feed wheat sparingly at first, afterward all they can eat, particularly at night; vary with crushed corn. Be careful the chicks are not stinted of food or they will become stunted. Remember that a chick stunted in the first five weeks of its life will never make a plump fowl. If the hen and chicks are placed in small coops, the latter should be cleaned every day or second day. As tho early chicks grow large they should he re moved from the younger ones or the latter will be crowded and make no progress.—A. G. Gilbert,Ottawa Station. ADVER ISIiN l.

A Minnesota beekeeper, writing in The American Bee Journal, says: “I drive four stakes in the ground, making a sqnare of 30 by 36 inches and 18 inches high, to which I nail two pieces of board 4 feet long, the 36-inch way. Next I lay a spirit level on the edge of the boards and drive down the post so that the cross board is in perfect level from one end to the other and across the 30- inch way from one board to the other. On this board stand I place the bottom boards of two hives, on one of which I put a colony of bees and on the other an empty hive. 1 clip the wings of my queens in the spring, so when they swarm I cage the queen and exchange the hive from one bottom board to the other while the bess are in the air and place the cage on the bottom board in front of the empty hive, which is now on the bottom hoard that the bees are acquaint ed with, and finding their qneen there the bees go in readily.” When a Cow Ccasei to Be Profitable. A cow that has ceased to be profitable as a milker on account of age is usually worth more for leather and.for fertilizer than for beef. For beef she is worth less because she cannot be fattened to pay for what she eats. In other words a dairy cow can never be converted into beef without a loss. If she is a real dairy cow she will be worth more in the dairy than in beef, so long as she is in dairy condition. When she passes that period it is too late to fatten her at a profit. —Jersey Bulletin.
