'POINTED COURTESY VERSUS
BLUNT EVASION.
Bryan and Roosevelt have been
the leading orators in the campaign.
Their manner and talks weighed
in comparison among the fair mind
ed is alone enough to establish the
strength of the one and the weak
ness of the other cause. Bryan
has displayed both courtesy and
statesmanship before his audiences
while Roosevelt has showed irasci
bility and a display of bombast and
bravado little befitting a high as
pirant in a national bontest. Bryan
has stamped himself even among
those who differ from his views as
one of the most forcible orators
and campaigners the country has
ever known. His arguments are
clear,straightforward presentations
of democratic doctrine and carry
with ,them a weight that will be
effective when voting time conies.
Roosevelt has, it is safe to say.
done his party but questionable
service, either from his own lack
of comprehension of what is of
avail before the people or the veri
table barrenness of virtues of the
platform on which he stands.
Democrats in Bartow county
should be on the alert and not let
the county through their apathy
go to the republicans, as there is
danger of its doing if they do not
turn out and swell their own party
vote. There are said to be about
800 republicans in the county. In
a total vote of say 1,500 of the op
position had a full turn out, see
what the result would be. The
county’s vote at the last election
was only a little over $2,000.
DEMOCRATS, DON’T NEG

MAKING IT HARD FOR HIM.
The New York Sun makes an
other very ungracious reply to
Col. A. R. Lawton, who writes re
garding its estimate of the charac
ter of General Lee. The Sun in
sists that General Lee was a traitor
and that his “elevation” to the
Hall of Fame was an improper ob
ject lesson to the American youth.
Colonel Lawton reminds the paper
that by such publications it is
making it very hard for a southern

man to vote the republican ticket
in the south. The Sun retorts that
the vote of a southern man in the
south is a matter of his own con
science and that McKinley will be
elected whether southern men vote
for him or not.
The New York Sun apparently
does not see what the connection
is between General Lee and the
republican campaign. It does not
see why it should not go on black
ening southern heroism and violat
ing southern traditions, at the same
time appealing to southern men to
vote the republican ticket. In one
article it defends the appointment
of colored men in Georgia to fed
eral office and in another it brands
as a traitor the man whom south
ern men regard as the best and
bravest of their heroes. The stu
dents of the constitution of the Uni
ted States have long ago decided
that up to the end of the war,when
the issue was decided by the sword,
the states had the right to secede,
and with such a right General Lee
went with his state as his first al
legiance. Lee went with Virginia,
just as Grant went with Illinois.
That was the accepted idea then,
however much it may have been
changed by the civil war.
But the New York Sun has
shown how completely the repub
lican is a sectional party and how
impossible it is for a southern man
to vote for its candidates without
doing violence to his best tradi
tions and to his long-established
principles. Colonel Lawton had
no sooner avowed his intention in
the Sun of voting for McKinley
than he was compelled to protest
against the republican policy of
appointing negroes to office in the
south. The Sun promptly took
issue with him and notified him in
a rather severe way that such ob
jeections were unworthy of a sou
therner and an American. Now
Colonel Lawton is forced again to (
come out in the Sun and to take
sharp exceptions to its estimate of
southern leaders. The company
in which Colonel Lawton finds
himself while supporting the re
publican ticket must be embarrass
ing. He must see by this time
how thoroughly anti-southern and
illiberal the republican party is. It
is antagonistic to every principle
he has has learned from boyhood
and to every instinct he feels as a
man. He finds it necessary at ev
ery step to protest and explain.
He is correct; the New York Sun
is making it very hard for him to
vote the republican ticket. It is
hard for any southern man of fine
feelings to be forced into any such
position. We know Colonel Law
ton to be a man of high character
and fine feelings and for this rea
son we regretted from the first, we
regret now, and we shall always
regret, that he saw fit to leave the
old alignments and to wander into
uncongenial fields. —Savannah

SAYS FARMERS SHOULD STAND
FIRM.
There can be no denying the
fact that the spinners have fought
the high price which pievailed for
cotton, and are seeking to bear the
market all they can. They are
nursing the idea of a big top crop,
and lending all possible encourage
ment to any theory that will lower
prices.
The farmers have been rushing
their cotton to market, thereby un
wittingly aiding the bear influences.
But there are those among them
who believe crop conditions war
rant ten cents cotton, and are op
posed to farmers selling at any
lower figure. Mr. George W.
Truitt, of Troup county, one of
Georgia’s big cotton raisers, urges
farmers not to sacrifice it. He says
it is nonsense to talk about a ten
million bale crop, and the game of
bluff which is being played should
not be allowed to win. In an open
letter he says:
I want to tell the good farmers
of the south in stentorian tones
“hold your cotton for a profit.” I
want to say to the bankers of the
south, come to the support of the
men who enable you to pay divi
dends on your stock. What would
the business of the merchant and
the banker be in this southern
country if not supported by the
products of the planter. We of
the south, planter, banker and
merchant, have furnished the
money to make this cotton crop;
we did not get our ability from
Liverpool. Why can’t we continue
lo use this strength and sell our
’tls. .

This great business has grown to
such vast proportions,
First; -Because the proprietors
have always been most careful in
selecting the various ingredients
used in its composition, namely;
the finest Cod Liver Oil, and the
purest Ilypophosphites.
Second: -Because they have so
skillfully combined the various
ingredients that the best possible
results are obtained by its use.
Third: -Because it has made so
many sickly, delicate children
strong and healthy, given health
and rosy cheeks to so many pale,
anaemic girls, and healed the lungs
and restored to full health, so many
thousands in the first stages of

cotton at a profit? If vte use our
money, our hands, and our muscle
to produce the cotton and allow it
to pass away from us unprofitably
at the all-important moment, the
selling time, we place ourselves in
a ridiculous plight to say the least
of it, and they who buy from us
would have just cause to laugh at
our folly.
Our ladies Get the Prizes-
The women of Bartow county,

off blue ribbons on everything.

Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid

ates too often, if the
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it, the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
