FREEMAN & CHAPMAN,
and I’ubllslii'rs.
AUGUST 16, 1894.
New York boasts a three-story
building 120 feet in depth and only
three feet wide, which is known as
“Thomson’s Jaek-knife.”
Georgia democracy will push the
contest with vigor from now on,
and the only question in the cam
paign will be that of the size of the
majority.
Everything now points to a live
ly fight for the Georgia senator
ship, and there is no telling, among
the spleadid possibilities, who will
be the winner.
A failure to vote the democratic
ticket means a half a vote for the
populists. Democrats should re
member this and make up their
minds to vote with the party.
Without such wise leaders as
Speaker Crisp at junctures like
those of late arising, it is hard to
tell the baneful results that might
not be looked for in public affairs.
The hope is general about the
senate that the present will be the
last week of the session. This is
based upon the belief that the tariff
bill will be disposed of and, with the
tariff out of the way, final adjourn
ment can be brought about at al
most any time.
With the corn crop a failure in
much of the western country and
so bounteous a yield promised in
every part of the south, the south
ern farmer now feels sorry that he
did’t raise more corn this season.
That farmers often do not raise corn
enough to supply the demands of
their own section, even, seems like
an absolute shame.
The national farmers’ congress
will hold its fourteenth annual ses
sion in Parkersburg, W. Va., Octo
ber 3-6. The congress is composed
of delegates from each state and
territory, named by the governor
thereof each state and territory be
ing entitled to as many delegates
as it has United States senators and
congressmen. Besides these each
state board of agriculture sends
a delegate.
The house has passed the senate
tariff bill and it now goes to' the
president for his signature. The
bill is not entirely satisfactory to
the democrats of the house, and im
mediately upon its passage bills
were passed to put coal, iron and
sugar on the free list, and this will
throw the responsibility on the sen
ate if these articles are kept on the
dutiable list.
Oates’ majority over Kolb in Ala
bama is nearly three times that of
Jones four years ago, which was
11,000, and teaches the lesson that
all forces that can be combined to
gether may oppose the democracy
in the south, and it is still invinci
ble. Democratic malcontents, pop
ulists and republicans, aided by
strong local forces and Massachu
setts republican campaign money,
were all in the Alabama tight, but
Oates won. Noble Alabama.
It looks like the house and the
country had to bow to the dictum
of the autocrats of the senate or
submit to the calamity of no tariff
legislation at this session of con
gress. A half a loaf, it is true, is
better than no loaf, and the fact
that the house democrats, in cau
cus, agreed to the senate bill,
was welcom2 news to the coun
try, as it ended the fight ar.d, it
is hoped, will relieve the suspense
that had begun to be endurable, al
most.
The Dalton Argus says: No won
der that accessions to democracy
iroin the third party are occurring
in Whitfield, anti all over Georgia.
When the honest farmer, who has
joined that party in the hopes of
relief, sees all the third party mem
bers of congress voting against
every relief measure, and sees the
leaders and press of the party teach
ing anarchy, praising bloodshed
and riot, rejoicing over assassina
tion, and recommending assassina
tion, and abusing everything good,
he becomes disgusted with his as
sociates and steps back into the
democratic rauks.
DEMOCRACY’S NOMINEES.
The result of Saturday’s primary
gives the democrats of Bartow and
the forty-second district splendid
men to vote for in the October elec
tion.
The contest between Mr. Harris
and Mr. Lumpkin for the senatorial
nomination proved a very close
one, Mr. Lumpkin winning by only
eight votes. Mr. Harris is one of
the most brilliant of north Georgia’s
sons and to beat him in a fair con
test before the people by even the
slightest majority is no small hon
or. Mr, Lumpkin has proven his
popularity in a party contest and
as a standard bearer will prove
himself equal to the emergency and
will win victory for his party in
October. He is a native of Bartow,
being born and raised in her bor
ders, as a farmer he has been einen
nently successful and has long been
accredited as being a citizen of
great intellectual force and su
perior judgment. He is broad and
liberal in his ideas, and a man of
strictest integrity.
Col. T. C. Milner, who led the
ticket, ran a brilliant race and will
prove a formidable candidate
against the third party. He was
reared in Bartow, in the Stilesboro
neighborhood, and the vote he re
ceived in the district of his nativity
was quite complimentary. Col.
Milner, completing his law educa
tion, a number of years ago went
to Calhoun to locate. After ascer
taining his true worth as a citizen,
the people of Gordon sent him to
the house in 1884. The term he
served there gave him a knowledge
and experience that will avail him
when he returns as a member from
his native county. He returned to
Bartow four years ago and served
a term most creditably as mayor of
Cartersville, being elected in De
cember, 1892. He is yet a com
paratively young man, and while
conservative, has at all times the
courage of his convictions, and will
stand in well with the younger ele
ment in his party.
Capt. H. J. McCormick is a true,
blue hustling democrat who is
well known throughout the county,
having at all times taken a great
interest in public affairs. He is a
school teacher and farmer and in
both callings has proven a success.
He has aided in giving his county
caste abroad through his fine man
agement of her exhibits at the
fairs and expositions in the state.
He was for years county surveyor.
He is an old soldier with hon
orable record. Democracy’s stand
ard is sate in his hands.
Democracy has a good team to
win with and she will win.

HOW IT FEELS TO DROWN-
Sensiitions of a Man at the Bottom of the Ohio
River.
[St. Louis Globe- llemocrat.]
“Just one year ago to-day.” said
Phiilip L. Newman, a Boston drum
mer, who was at the Lindeli yester
day. “I had as norrow an escape
from drowning as any one ever had.
D was a hot afternoon and I went
with several companions to bathe
in the Ohio river, not far trom Cin
cinnati. In diving from a log I
stayed too long under the water,
and before I could rise to the sur
face felt a shock like a blow on my
back, caused by one of my friends
diving to my rescue. This drove
all the air out of my lungs and I
went to the bottom, where I lay in
a half conscious state. All the
events of my life passed slowly be
fore my eyes, and I could see my
parents and friends around me
weeping. I recalled with absolute
distinctness the smallest facts of
my life, even w hen I w as a child at
school. I knew that I was drown
ing, but thought, after all, it was
not such a bad death. I wondered
if they would he able to find my
body, and shuddered at the thought
of their failure. Then I pictured
my burial, heard the clods falling
on my coffin, and thought that I
heard parents speak of my death as
a warning to their children. At
last every thing around me became
peaceful, noises died away and I
felt myself rise above the earth and
float upwards into space. From
that moment I saw or knew noth
ing until I found myself lying on
the hank beside the friend who had
rescued me and brought me back
to life by means of artificial respira
tion and friction.
