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.

Col. Livingston Speaks to Democrats
Of the Fifth.
Jonesboro, Ga., April 12.—Democ
racy rules the roost in Clayton county.
If there was any doubt on this point i:
was dissipated by the speeches of Hous.
Hoke Smith, Leonadas Livingston and
Captain Evan P. Howell. The Demo
cratic speeches, were enshusiastically
received by the wool hat hoys who were
preseut. A grand Democratic mass
meeting was held in the courthouse.
A. P. Adamson was elected .chairman
and J. H. Wallis was elected secretary..
The election of delegates was postpoued
until after the speaking.
Colonel Livingston was tbe fi'-s
speaker. He said he did not want to g
to congress, but after Judge Stow a.
had refused to say that he would work
for the Alliance demand he agreed ti-
run agaiust him as a Democrat, and ;i.
had made the race aud was elected as a
Democrat, and his record has been i
consistent one, for when he accepted too
nomination, he said, I accepted the
Democratic banner, and never shall n
trail in the dust.
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. _

tral Slock.
New York, April 12. —President Co
mer of the Georgia Central, has arrived
here aud rumor was busy about the
significance of liis presence. It was
supposed that liis mission was to dis
cuss the future prospects of his road;

Torminnl company-having lieeu. enjoin.-.
ed from voting its holding of Central

000,000 of the Terminal's 5 per ceut.

THE TIME SET.
Pennsylvania’s Governor
Enter the Race.
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. ”

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.

Caused Much Comment,
Rome, April 12.—The Jesuit organ,
Civilita Catholica, having adversely
criticised Archbishop Ireland’s action in
the Stillwater, Miun., affair, the pope
has sent to Archbishop Ireland n special
note iutimating his disapproval of the
Civilita Catholics articles, and urging
the archbishop to attach no importance
to them. This action of tbe pope has
cansed much comment here, as he rare
ly interferes in such disputes.

shakers’ early corn.
The early varieties start with Cory’s
Early at the head of the list: Early Mar
blehead next. Then come Early Adams,
Minnesota, Ne Plus Ultra, Crosby’s
Early, Stabler's Early (which ripens a
few days after Adams’ Early), and Shak
ers' Early, that in many localities fills
tho interval between Crosby’s Early and
Stowell'jg Evergreen, a late standard
variety. Shakers’ Early sweet corn is
not only of fine flavor, bnt. tbe ears are
large and well tilled with large pearly
white kernels.
Catalogued with medium early varie
ties are Old Colony, a favorite sort:
Black Mexican, sweetest of all, but hav
ing dark colored kernels; the Hender
son, large early, 8-rowed; Perry’s Hy
brid, a 12-rowt-d variety; Hickox Im
proved, etc.
Prominent among the late varieties of
sweet corn are Stowell’s Evergreen, a
standard late corn; Mammouth, Tri
umph, Egyptian and Livingston’s Golden
Coin.
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.

Placing Hives In the Apiary.
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.
