Editor Nugget:
1 have just, read tho announce
ment of Hon. E. W. Watkins for
congress. While 1 am not per
sonally acquainted with, and
know him only by his record in
tho legislature, yet in his platform
1 am of tho opinion, he has
struck the key note of tho race
problem, l'hut is, tho separation
of the race. Wo would not advo
cate the deportment of the old
slaves, who were faithful during
tho war, but since tho war there
hub sprung up a now race born
in freedom, and with a little edu>
cation, think themselves as good,
or belter than tho white man and
want to hold office, ite. Tho U.
S. congress never made a greater
blunder than putting the ballot in
the hands of tho negroes and ah
lowing them to hold office; this is
a white tmiu’s government, and
the superior rule must rule. Let
the negro rule a negro but never
let a negro try to rule a \yhite
mau. As Mr. Watkins says, “Any
man who thinks and looks ahead
can see nothing but trouble in try
ing to keep two separate and dis
tinct races in harmony together,
and the only rational solution of
the question is separation.” Many
of us old citizens can remember
when the Indians had to give up
these mountains and gold fields to
the white man, because the white
race is superior.
The government, in trying to
humillitate the south, has passed
laws disgraceful to every white
citizen of the United States, and I
think the time is ripe to repeal tho
most obnoxious amendments to
the constitution. Equality of the
two races in the south is an utter
impossibility. I do not care how
highly a negro is educated he can
not change his skiu, and will have
to bow in humble submission to
the rule of tho white man or leave
the country. A president may in-
Ed. NuGgkt:
I thought while the year 190
was going out, and the new year,
1901 coming in and going to bring
an election of some one to fill ev
ery office from president on down
to malitia district bailiffs, that I
would make a suggestion or two.
But the one 1 am going to dwell
on is our representative on down.
As a father, and in fact every
school boy in the county can sec
the need of a dry ticket. I mean
a prohibition race, such as our old
friend Joseph Brown run for
treasurer. The people know him
and the kind of a race he made.
Now, Mr. Editor, why can’t the
chairman of the democratic party
call a mass meeting through both
papers and not only say come, but
request all the people in the grand
old county of Lumpkin to meet in
the court house on a day set a
part and see what can be done,
and I fully believe that there will
not a single vote be cast
against a prohibition election. We
have all seen the evil of using li
quor in elections, and will see
more and more unless the people
come forward and yote it down in
a mass meeting. Some will say
that it doesn’t hurt me. But good
people, let me say that it hurts us
all, from the greatest to the least.
We see the evil of it every day,
and especially before each elecs
tion. And just after it is a calm
after a storm sure enough.
It is too bad on the young and
rising generation. As 1 said, let
the good people, both democrats
and republicans join in and put!
down treating and carrying the j
elections in a jug, as some say.
For our sake, for the sake of our
children, let us join hand in hand
and put it out of the election one
time. Let’s have 1004 a dry po
litical year for Lumpkin county,
and other counties will see tho
good that will follow. We might
have just three days court instead
of six, and that time would not be
taken up on whiskey and pistol
cases. Voter.
News comes from Gaincsvil'o
that a posse are in pursuit of two
desperate brothers, who use to re
side in Hall coiii’ty named Ar
mour. They left for Alabama
some time aero on account of some
evil doing. There it is said they
killed several negroes and large
rewards arc offered for them.
They carry loaded guns and arc
ready for trouble at any time.
They burglarized houses in Banks
county some few days ago and shot
and fatally wounded Mr. Y. Pat
terson, and it is supposed that it
was these young men who looted
tho store of Mr. Grant at Alta,
and they may be the parties who
broke into Parks & Bowens’ store
this week in Lumpkin county.

Eight months ago I was so ill
that I was compelled to lieor sit
clown nearly all the time. My
stomach was so weak and upset
that I could keep nothing on it
and I vomited frequently. I
could not urinate without great
pain and I coughed so much that
my throat and lungs were raw
and sore. The doctors pro
nounced it Bright’s disease and
others said it was consumption.
It mattered little to uie what
they called it and I had no de
sire to live. A sister visited me
from St. Louis and asked me if
l had ever tried Wino of Cardui.
I told her J had not and she
bought a bottle. I believe that
it saved my life. I believe many
women could save much suffer
