AUGUST 30, 1894.
The populist platform favors free
school books. Tiiis would increase
the burden of taxation and the peo
ple feel that they already have en
ough taxes to pay.
The populist party is the worst ;
boss ridden political organization
which has ever existed. Watson
is the boss and the balance of the
party blindly follow his lead.
The Alliance exchange which has
cost the farmers of Georgia seventy
thousand dollars, has closed its
doors uni qifit business. It lias
proven an expensive experiment.
Judge Milner and Gus Fite hew
to the line and let the chips fali
where they may. As representa
tives and executives of the law
they are careful, yet fearless; they
are the terror of law breakers.—
Ringgold Courier.
Hon. A. W. Fite will make sev
eral speeches in the 42d senatorial
district before the end of the cam
paign. He will visit Floyd and
Chattooga counties, and will give
the people a few verses of sound
democratic doctrine.
It is stated that Tom Watson is
paid one hundred dollars a day for
speaking, and fifty-six dollars a
week for editing his paper. It is a
money making scheme which
Thomas has struck.
The party of reform —the pop
ulists want to lay another heavy
burden upon the people by levying
a tax to buy school books. Any
child who desires an education can
earn enough to buy his books, if his
parents are not able to furnish
them.
A vote for Hines and populist
candidates for the legislature is a
vote to add about two million dol
lars, annually to the state taxes.
It will require that much money to
furnish text books to the pupils of
the public schools, and the populist
party is pledg 'd to that policy.—
Sparta Ishmaelite.
An exchange forcibly and truth
fully remarks: “The populists have
nominated a corporation lawyer
(J. K. Hines) for governor, who
never voted the third party ticket
in his life, and who would he a
democrat today, if they had not
nominated him for the high office
of Governor.”
The Atlanta exposition is assured
of success by the appropriation by
the goyernment of $200,000, and
Bartow county will be there with
the largest exhibit of any countd
in the state. Our farmers shoul
plant every crop for the next year
with a view of making an exhibit
of the products of Bartow at the ex
position.
The discovery of anaesthesia is
due to l)r. Crawford W. Long, of
Georgia, \t ho in 1842 performed a
surgical operation upon James M.
Venable, Dr. Long having first ren
dered the patient insensible to pain
by the application of ether. Two
or three years later Messrs. Wells,
Jackson and Morton began their
experiments, after which the ames
thetic properties of ether and ehlo
form rapidly became known.
When Felton refused to meet
Hon. A. W. Fite in joint debate, he
showed his good sense. Fite gave
Dr. Felton the worst drubbing he
ever received on the floor of the
Georgia house in ISS4, and tlie
doctor remembers it. Fite routed
Felton’s boasted oratorical powers
then, and Felton knows he would
lick him now. Fite is about the
ablest debater in the district, and
Felton knows i*. — Dalton Argus.
The senatorial convention of the
forty -second district convened at
Rome on last Thursday and unani
mously nominated the Hou. W. 11.
Lumpkin, of Cartersvillc, for sena
tortrom th.;t district. Mr. Lump
kin appeared before the conven
tion and delivered a patriotic and
eloquent address. He is one of the
leading men of Bartow county and
will make an admirable senator,
and the Telegraph congratulates
him upon his nomination. —Macon
Telegraph.
PROSPERITY VS. HARD TIMES.
The Kansas City Times strikes
the key-note in the following brief
article: “Times never boom so j
that a lazy man will prosper. An j
idler can inherit wealth and it slips |
right through hh fingers until in
a few years he is a ragged loafer, j
No man or set of men can sit
around on the stool of do nothing
and make times better by theoriz
ing on tiie financial questions or dis
cussing the rapid transit on which
the country is goin r to the “demni
tion bow-wows.” It is true there
are certain times when the con
ditions are better for general pros
perity than at others, but as a main
proposition an individual’s pros
perity depends solely upon himself
and a country’s prosperity upon the
industry and frugality of its people.
No legislation can alter this fact,
neither can the enactment of any
law make a professional loafer pros
perous; or keep an industrious,
economical man from succeeding
in life. This is a lesson the people
should learn: Success in the va
rious occupations in life depends
upon their own endeavor and not
upon any legislation congress may
enact. When people learn to work
and think more and discuss poli
tics less, an era of prosperity will
dawn upon this fair land that will
surprise even the most cynical curb
stone prophet.”
However little the great masses
of the democrats feel disposed to
sanction the fact, it is very certain,
nevertheless, that (lie tariff legisla
tion of this congress is done. The
senate has no objection to the house
making a record and indulging in a
little buncombe, but no hills will be
passed affecting the pet paragraphs
in the bill which Mr. Gorman and
Mr. Brice worked so hard to get
through.
The government crop report sug
gests a corn yield of about 1,578,000-
000 bushels, against an estimate of
2,050.000,000 bushels in July. This
loss of 472,000,000 bushels, as the
result of drought and parching
winds, reduce the probable yield
141,000,000 bushels below the actual
crop of last year, and takes into no
consideration the damage by heat
since the beginning of the present
month.
The new tariff bill went into ef
fect Monday night at twelve o’clock
—tiie expiration of the ten days
limit—without Mr. Cleveland’s sig
nature. The president did not like
all the features of the bill, but con
sidered it a great improvement on
the McKinley bill, and while he
would not endorse it, he allowed it
to become a law by limitation.
The democratic convention of
the seventh district met at Dalton
yesterday and unanimously nomi
nated Hon. John YV. Maddox to
succeed himself in congress. Judge
Maddox will enter at once upon a
thorough canvass of the district,
and the democratic party will roll
uji its usual majority in November
What, with tiie indifferent and
slipshod way in which farming is
usually Qarried on, with tiie little
interest we take in it, and tiie lit
tle time that is devoted to it, if it
will take care of its men, women
and children, as it does do, day af
ter day, year after year, it is not
for us to state that the farm busi
ness is a failure,
The Dalton Argus pays this com
pliment to a popular citizen of Car
tersville, to-wit: Solicitor A. \\\
Fite is doing some good and able
work for democracy just now. The
Argus puts Col. Fite on notice that
if he continues this good won., it is
for him for any office he wants in
this judicial or congressional dis
trict.

In view of the fact that the stock
law is going in force in different
localities in north Georgia, which
necessitates the keeping of fewer
stock and present indications are
that all kinds of coarse grain will
be dear for another year it will
not pay to feed dear grain to poor
stock, and the sooner all such is
sold the more money tiie farmer
owing it will have at the end of the
winter. After another year it is
probable that the prices* of stock
will advance. Secure some of tiie
best to breed from, such as will pay
their way on dear feed. When the
rise in price comes the best stock
will advance in price more than
any other. The best time to change
from poor stock to good is always
now.
Congress adjourned Tuesday at
two o’clock, having been in session
for nearly one year. The work of
congress has been greatly retarded
by the narrow majority in the sen
ate and the opposition of three or
tour so-called democratic senators
to the tariff and other matters
which necessarily extended the
time. The democrats of the coun
try are satisfied with what has
been accomplished for the present,
and will send up another democrat
ic house to carry on the good work.
Tom Watson is again a candi
date for congress in the 10th dis

his contest against Major Black,
and will try it again. Tommy is
working for the money that is in it.
The nominee of the third party
against Speaker Crisp, in the third
district, says that lie would prefer
to run for coroner of Marion coun

do he might run for both offices.
Judge Charles L. Bartlett, of Ma
con, has been nominated by the
democrats of the sixtli district for
congress, to succeed Congressman
Cabaniss.
Dr. Felton and the Race.
The Courant American learns
from a prominent populist, and one
who is in close touch with Dr. Fel
ton, that tiie Doctor had written a
letter declining to make the race
for congress, and intended to give
it to the press for publication, but
on Tuesday the populist executive
committee tor the seventh district
called on tiie Doctor at his home
and persuaded him to reconsider.
Dr. Felton accepted the nomina
tion upon the assurance that he
would not be required to make an
active canvass, but he has received
letters from every county in the
district requesting him to make
speeches and feeling that lie was
not physically able to make an ac
tive canvass, lie decided to retire.
Our informant states that he read
the letter.
It is the general opinion in this
section that Dr. Felton will yet re
tire on account of his physical con
dition.
