he asks than Mr. Howard. As a party is too ridiculous to be worthy the other paities together,
CAN GEORGIANS FOLLOW HIM?
There may have been a time when,
through misguided faith in princi
ples that cannot live, Georgians
might have been allowed to follow
the leadership of Thomas E. Wat
son without censure. They had been
misled by his statements and had
been fastened to his faith by bav
ing their pasBions and prejudices
aroused.
But now, their eyes cannot be
closed to the scenes that are being
enacted ; their ears cannot be shut
to the words he-is saying.
All loyal Georgians now must
^purn him as they would the adder,
for his venom is none the less deadly.
He has not only forsaken his party
trampled upon the commission of
bis people, disgraced his State and
district on the floor of Congress
stirred np strife and contention
among his neighbors, set brother
against .brother and father agains
sod, inflamed the passions and pre»
judices of the races, but to crown it
all with unspeakable infamy, he
is reported by the Augusta ChronU
cle upon what that sheet considers
reliable authority to have made ut
terances at Stellaville, Ga, to an as
sembly of his followers that would
turn the Tenth district into a battle
ground nest month.
He is said to have advised his
white friends to sharpen their knives,
arm the negroes, bring them to the
poll®, and if a Demccrat interferes,
to use him up.
If Watson said those words, he
tikes front rar.k among the enemies
of the Btate and its people, and the
man who follows him, knowing him
to have used these words and given
this advice, is no longer to be re
garded as a misguided man, but a
willful advocate of this incendiary
advice.

STAINLESS name of lee.
It is passing strange, but vile pol
itics will produce vile resulte, says
the Atlanta Constitution. More
than twenty years after his death we
find a Third party leader, an ex-
Confederate c flicer,assailing the rep
utation of his old commander. Gen
Field, the candidate for Vice Presi
dent on the Third party ticket has
recently declared that when Lee in
vaded Pennsylvania he was brutal
and oppressive toward the inhabi
tants. Fortunately, the testimony
was instantly forthcoming to prove
that he permitted no depredations,
that ho paid for his supplies, that he
protected all in their personal and
property rights. But this is not
enough. It is shameful and morti
lying in the extreme to see a South'
erner so blinded by partisan malice
that he is willing to defame the great
est hero of biB section, and of his
own State.
If the division of the solid South—
if this Third party movement is to
cause men to traduce the most sa
cred memories of the past and black
en the names of oar wisest and purw
eat, where will it end ? Let us have
no more of this disgraceful business.
When the Third party, through its
chieftains, maligned the Southern
people and spared not the grave of
Lee, it dug its*own grave!
And Gen. Field ? There is but
one course for him to pursue. Let
him go into voluntary exile. He is
no worthy son of Virginia !
WILLIAM M- HOWARD.
The Georgia Legislature will con
vene on the 26*.h Inst., and among
its many duties, it will be called
upon to elect a Solicitor General of
the Northern Judicial Circuit of
Georgia. Mr. William M. Howard,
the present official occupant of this
ie, is a candidate for re-election,
tberowill.be no man before the
islature asking for office more
hot lorsiilr, more proficient and better

He carries to the discharge of his
duties ability and a fearlessness that
is commended by all, both bar and
people- While he is fearless in the
discharge of all his duties as Solici
tor General, yet he never persecutes
the weak, or those whom his big
heart and clear judgment tell him
are cot guilty—the fees of the office
have no inducement for him to per
secute or convict the innocent, and
never has it been said that the guilty
man escapes just prosecution
Mr. Howard baa the confidence of
the people, and if his election was
left to the popular vote he would be.
almost unanimously elected.
As an evidence of his faithfulness
to dnty, we have but to cite the tact
that now, on the very eve of the as
sembling of the Legislature, he has
stayed day and night for weeks by
the bedside of his friend, Judge Mc
Whorter, who has been critics 1 lv ill ,
with typhoid f«er,*bea it woald be d8m “ te0t ‘ , “ 0 ' y * rohi * hl r ta-

election ; but he would rather be
defeated than to prove false to duty.
As lawyer, man and Democrat
Mr. Howard has no superior, and the
Legislature will honor itself in the
election of “ Bill” Howard as hie
own successor.
MRS. LEASE ADVOCATES -HARRISON.
Mrs. Lease has bolted Weaver,
says the Savannah News. Next
Jerry Simpson she was the strongest
People's party leader in Kansas, and
her action has,* naturally, caused
-considerable excitement in People’i
party ranks in that State. In an in
terview she says that the South is
solidly Democratic and it ia of no
use to try to make it anything else.
In the South a vote for the People'
party means a vote for Harrison, bat
in Kansas it means just the opposite
—a vote for Cleveland. For this
reason she advises the populists o
Kausas to scratch their tickets and
vote for Harrison electors.
In the speeches made by Mrs.
Lease during her trip with Weaver
through the South, and, indeed, in
all of her speeches, she was not less
bitter against the Republicans than
against the Democrats. Both of the
old parlies were heid responsible for
the distress of the people, and noth
ing that she coaid think of was too
hard to say about either tbe Demo
crat or the Republicans. And the
only hope for the people was in the
snccess of theex-greenbacker, whom
she glorified as a patriot and a states
man. . „
Since leaving Georgia 'Mrs Lease
has devoted moat of her talent as a
speaker to describing, with super
lative adjectives, the *• outrages’
heaped upon Weaver and herself in
the South. These stories pleased
the Republican campaign managers
immensely, and they finally conclu
ded that a repetition of them in cer
tain Northern States, principally in
New York, would be a good thing
for their party. Consequently they
made Mrs. Lease an offer of $5,000
to tell the tale of her woes at Repub»
lican mass meetings at the North
She received the offer while in Ra
leigh. N. C;, not long ago, so it is
said, and took the matter under ad
visement. The interview noted
above, bolting Weaver, would seem
to indicate that she has concluded to
accept.

He 8honld know something about
the land in \yhich he lives, about
its institutions, its, customs, and its
probable destiny among nations. We
live in the land where every citizen
casts a ballot, unless he labors under
some disqualification. Shouldn’t
the citizen be placed in a position
to learn something of the laws of
his country and of its history and
necessities in order that he may vote
intelligently.
While we are in favor of the study
of history in our common school
system, it would be well to add that
it is based on qualification and that
is that no partisan book in regard to
onr late war be allowed in the
schools. Such books are in use in
Georgia and their use is a disgrace
to the State and its proud memories,
and if such books are to be used in
rur common schools then it is best
f that things should remain as they
are now.
But good histories-can be secured
and the Stale board should do so at
once. Put history among the stndies
of oar common schools and let it be
pure, wholesome history.
GEN- WEAVER’S TALL TALK.
In Sk Louis a day or two ago,
Gen. Weaver, the candidate of the
People’s pirty for President, told a
reporter of the United Press that he
had vielted every Sonthern State ex
cept West Virginia, and that the
Sonthern people were accepting the
doctrines of the People’s party with
avidity. The ex-confederate sol.
diers, he said, had been won to the
People’s party almost to a man. He
declared that with a full count the
People’s party was pretty sure of suc
cess in every Southern State.
Truly, Gen, Weaver must have
been blind when he waa in the South,
or else he knows that what he says
has no foundation whatever. The
assertion that the ex-confederate
soldiers, to a man almost, have e r -
roused the cause of tbe People’s
At the recent State election the
People’s party made an extraordinary
effort to bring ont its foil strength,
and it succeeded. What was tbe
result ? Why, a democratic msj r
ity of about 70,000. At the State
election ia Florida, where the Be*
publicans voted with the People’s
party, the Democratic majority was
over 22 000. With such majorities
as these staring him in the face, how
could Gen. Weaver conscientiously
say that the People’s party was pret
ty certain of snccess in every South*
ern State ? If he does not exercise
more care in making statements he
will be in danger of losing tbe re
spect even of the most enthusiastic
of his own followers.—-Savannah
News.
PUT HISTORY IN THE SCHOOLS-
We are in favor of a broad con
struction of onr common school laws
and believe that history ought to be
taught in onr common schools. Tbe
FULFILLING PREDICTIONS,
Tne action of Mrs. Lease in ad
vising the Kansas Populists to vote
for HatriBon, if indeed a vote for
Weaver in that State meant a vote
for Cleveland, Is the tearing off of
the mask that covered np her politi
cal schemes while in the South,
is the fulfilling of all the predictions
concerning the leaders of the Third
party movemen’,that ultimately they
will land in the camps of Repnbli
canism.
While Sooth Mrs. Lease was very
abusive in her talk concerning tho
Republican party, bat the minate
she sees any danger to the success
of Harrison; when she sees that
populistic fanaticism does not woik
in Georgia ; she goes Btraightway
and advises the Populists of Kansas
to vote for little Ben, and in so do
ing uncovers the entire scheme.—
Thanks, Mrs. Lease ; yoor action is
a true fulfillment of wLat we have
said of yonr party leaders all along,
and that was that in the event the
Democracy of the South could not be
split away from the faith of Jeffer
son and Calhonn, you would all re
turn to the fonl nest from whence
yon emanated.
or else
the choice of electors is thrown into
the legislature. In any event, De
mocracy is safe in Georgia, but we
want to whip both parties together
and we esn do it.
THE REPUBLICAN INTENTION.
If any man doubts the intention
of the Republican ^arly in regard to
the Force bill and tbe contemplated
oppression of tbe Sooth, let him
read the following editorial from tbe
Nation'll Republican, of Washing
ton, D. C.:
“With the Lodge national election
law in full force over the Sooth and
various Democratic strongholds up
North, we may confidently look for a
different state of political affairs than
now exist* 1 . New York City will then
return several more Republican Con
gressmen than at present, while more
than 20 negro representatives from
the Sonth will render the Republican
control ot the future Congress abso
lutely safe and secure.
“Heavy taxes should be laid upon
the property of the whites to develop
and extend the public school system
of those States. Separate schools
for tbe two races shonld be abolish
ed, and the plan of bringing the
yonth of both colors into close and
equal relation in schools and church
es given a fair trial, as one of the
most potent elements to break down
the detestable bourbonism of the
South. The State laws against the
inter-marriage of the races shonld
be repealed, and any discrimination
against the blacks in the matter of
learning trades or obtaining enep’oy-
ment should be a criminal offence—
while the colored man’s rights to
hold office should be sacredly pro
tected and recognized. A few years
of this policy will solve the race pro*
blem satisfactorily.”
GET THINGS RIGHT.
A great many people in Georgia
are in donbt aa to the day on which
the Presidential election will take
place. It is the first Tuesday after
the first Monday in November.
Ir WILL OCCUR THIS year oh No
vember 8th.
Again, the newspapers are pub
lishing the names of the electors,and
in many instances have mistakes in
heir initials. The Democratic com
mittee shonld send out an authqfized
ticket to be used in the election, and
doubtless this will be done in a short
while.
Another thing that ought to be no>
ted. It requires a majority of the votes
cast to secure the electoral vote to
the party that wins. The Democracy
THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
The State Executive Committee of
the Democracy, through its chair
man, Hon. W. Y Atkinson, states to
the Democrats of Georgia that in
order to keep heaJqnarters open
in Atlanta and push the campaign
until Nov. 8th, tuoiey will be re
quired. The legitimate expenses of
the campaign in Georgia, especially
where.the opposition is strongest
will r< quire an additional fond, and
to gain success in the coming cam
paign this money mast be raised at
once.
The Democracy of Georgia does
not call for a corruption fund; the
people of this State are not of that
kind to be corrupted. The Democ
racy does call for enough money to
carry on a legitimate fight and meet
the nnmerons expenses that natu»
rally and legitimately come in such
a campaign as is now being waged
in Georgia.
The dnty of Georgia Democrats
is plain enough. The fnnd should
be raised. It will require but a very
small contribution all around, if the
movement is made general. All con
tri rations can be sent here or direct
ly to Chairman Atkinson at Demo
cratic headquarters in Atlanta.
WAYNE MacVBAGH’S SENSE.
The speeches of the Hon. Wayne
MaoVeagb, ia defence of Democracy
are attracting considerable attention
all over the Union. They are filled
with sound sense, and coming as
they do from ore who for so many
years was a prominent Republican,
they bear with them an additional
weight
He does not hesitate to say that
the Presidency was stolen by the
Republicans in 1876 ; that glaring
frauds have always been practiced
by that party ; that a reckless ex
penditnre of money is their chief
work, and that the Presidency was
bought for Harrison in 1888. He is
especially severe upon the villainous
trickery of Mat Qaay, of Pennsyl
vania*
Mr. MacVeagh declares that the
cause of the people does not rest
with the Republicans, and urg^s the
people in their own interest to work
f» r Democratic snccess.
MacVeagh’s speeches make splens
did campaign material.
able to clearly see the intention of
the Repnblican party:
<•1 have washed my hands of the
South. It is a land of rebels and
traitors who care nothing for the
fa'ctity of the ballot, and I will never
be in favor of making an active cam
paign down thero until we can place
bayonets at the polls. I aui now
more that ever in faver of ramming
a Force bill down their throate.”
COLLEGE ATHLETICS.
The students of the University are
very desirous of entering into inter
collegiate games of football, and the
reasons given in their petition to the
Facnlty on that snbject are good
ones
There has always been too little
interest in Athletics among Sonth*
ern colleges, and the tendency of the
University of Georgia towards that
ned is not to be deplored.
Y 1», Howard and Princeton are
none the less splendid institutions
because they encourage the practice
in Athletics by their students, and
the University of Georgia will lose
nothing by allowing her students to
engage in inter-collegiste contests,
such as the Faculty may deem wise
and prudent.
-tditoria/ Comment.
The Supreme Court of Iowa has Ten
dered a decision which embodies a world
of truth and warning tbat should in
terest every young woman in tbe land.
A wife had made application for a di
vorce on tbe ground that her husband
was a confirmed drunkard, when the
evidence showed that she bad knowl
edge of bis intemperate habits before
she married him.
In refusing the petition the Judge
said: “You voluntarily chose a drunk
ard for a husband, and you should dis
charge tbe duties of a drunkard’s wife.
His failure to keep a pledge of reforma
tion before marriage does not justify
you in deserting him. Having know
ingly married a drunkard, you must
make yourstlf content with the sacred
relationship’’—Macon Evening News

There is only one way to cure deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con

flamed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect bearing, and when it is en
tirely closed. Deafness is the result,and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this, tube restored to its normal

forever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is nothing but
an inflamed condition of the mucous

O0R MILITARY.
General Howard Speaks In High Terms
of its Efficiency.
Washington, Oct. 20.—General O. O.
Howard, U. S. A., commanding the de
partment of the east, in his annual re
port to the secretary of war makes some
important recommendations touching
the National Guard of the United
States. He says the military, under its
new name of National Guard, has
reached a degree of excellence never be
fore attained. This body of citizen sol
diers is not only useful in maintaining
order in the several states, but it will
be of the highest value to the general
government in case of hostilities in
guarding important points. pending the
formation of a volunteer army. The
annual appropriation by tbe government
of $400,000 might well be increased to
$1,000,000. He urgently called atten
tion to Hie propriety and necessity of
providing* at the next session of congress
for a rearmament of the entire National
Guard,
General Howard reviews the opera-
rations of the military at Homestead,
Buffalo and Coal Creek, all of which
places are in the department of the east,
and says: “In every case during the
disturbance, the • National Guard re
sponded with promptness and bore them
selves in a soldierly manner. These in
stances demonstrate the excellent con
dition of the National Guard. The call
on regular United States troops for help
to qncll minor disturbances is sometime
open to criticism as outside interference
and often causes bitterness of feeling
against the common protector, the gen
eral government.”
General Howard vigorously attacks
the post exchange or canteen, and ob
jects to employing soldiers as barkeep
ers. He recommends that the Govern
or’s Island ferry be allowed to land at
the Barge Office slip, and that coast
defenses be improved.
What the Railroads Can Do.
Washington, Oct. 20.—A statement
has been received at the war depart
ment from General Manager O’Dell of
the B. & O. road which shows that in
case of an invasion of the United States
the four trunk lines leading to New
York from the west could land 850,000
troops withi. thirty honrs with horses
and all necessary equipment, and at the
same time move enough commercial
supplies to meet the current needs of the
country. After the .Chilian affair the
department received a communication
from a govnramedt official asking infor
mation relating to the prompt move
ment of troops in large bodies in case of
emergency, and Mr. O’Dell’s letter is in
answer to this communication.
Found Her Long Lost Father.
Nashville, Tenn., Oct. 20.—Miss
Annie Richardson has just found her
father, whom she had mourned as dead
for thirty years. Major William Rich
ardson was before the late war sent to
the state insane asylum, having lost his
mind through a wound received in the
Mexican war. He escaped from the
asylum and his family was informed
that he was dead. He was recaptured,
however, and his family never notified.
Miss Richardson learned that her father
is alive through a friend asking her as
to his health, and she at once called on
him. •

him instantly. The body was suspend
ed in midair across the wire.

Hamburg, Oct 20.—A large sewer in

buried men are alive.

North Carolina Stirred up Over the
Day’s Disclosures.
Raleigh, N. C , October 20.—A sen
sat ion today is the complete exposure of
the Order of Gideonites in North C» to-
lina. Chairman Simmons, of tbe Dem
ocratic State Executive Committee,
makes it and gives as proof le'ten from
M. L Keed, of Asheville, and J. S
Bell, of Camden county.
Reed swears that S. Otbo Wilson was
grand chief of the order when he was
initiated and tbat there were congres
sional district chiefs and county chiefs.
Reed was initiated by Wilson, who
had then just returned from Indianap
olis. Wil son was a great alliance wc rk
er and in that guise wav working for

for faitore to obey the obligations is
very severe.

him to become a member, the conversa
tion being in the presence of James

No pupils can be admitted to any schoq
without first having a permit issued by
that gentleman, whose duty it is te
place the scholar in the proper grade
and school building, according to d»
trict resided in, and he, ton, must maki
all removals and transfers of pupils. A
weekly report of each pupil enrolled it
rendered by the teachers to him, and,
in fact, his position is very much the
same as our principal and county su
perintendent combined. His duties are
somewhat onerous, as this year there
were 1,200 pupils enrolled in the schools,
all of whom, large and small, white and
black, dirty and clean, had to be cate
chized and “ticketed” for admission at
commencement of the term. Bat one
blessing auout his work is that he is not
subject to the meddling of troublesome
parents, who in many places in the
North are prone to attempt to run the
schools in the interest of their own
children, to the detriment of teachers
and directors. No appointments of
teachers through political, sectarian, or
personal preferment exists, aud this has
resulted in the attainment of the pres
ent high standard by the schools. The
buildings, too, are modern, neat, and
comfortable, and salaries are good.”

fatal accident occurred in this county
yesterday afternoon by which the
seven-year-old son of Dr. J. It. Kobina
was shot and killed by his thirteen-
year-old brother.
Near Dr. Robin’s home, which is in
the Walker church neighborhood, is aa
old bouse which he formerly used
office. It has not been occupied in
many years, but the children have used
it as a playroom, entering it through a
window.
Yesterday the two boys after dinner
went in there to play. The oldest
brother, Wilkins, in searohiug through
the room came across a self-acting,
thirty-eight oaliber revolver. It hail
been there a long time, forgotten by the
doctor and the family. The little boy
naturally supposed it was empty wri
harmless aDd began snapping it at bis
little brother Johr. Suddenly there
was a flash and a loud report and John
with a scream fell to the floor. Dr.
Robins heard the report and rushed
into the room to find his son bleeding
and dying. He picked him up aDd car
ried him into the house, but tbe child
died in a very few minutes, not speak-
ng after being shot. The ball entered
the right side below the ribs, and rang
ing upward, passed through tbe entire
body and came ont above the le,t
shoulder joint.
Dr. R >bins is tbe candidate for con
gress on the People’s party ticket.
Tbe deplorable accident was a great
blow to him and his family, and they
have the earnest and deepest sympathies
of all our people in the sudden and
great sorrow which has come upon
them.
