THURSDA J. FEBRUARY 15, 1900.
The dog law is the all absorbing theme
with the Georgia roters at the present
time.
The worshiping of a party name and
swallowing everything that is said by
the politician because he belongs to your
party has been one of the g. eat factors
in enslaving the mmses.
Every man should investigate and
think some for himself on all questions
that affect his own welfare. The man
who lets somebody else do all his think
ing for him would be better off if be
could ever remain a child and continue
to build frog houses in the sand for his
amusement and pleasure.
Mr. Sewall, tfce'vice presidential can
didate of the democratic party in the
last race, or iu other words, Mr. Bryan’s
running mate in 1896, says Mr. Bryan
will apain be the nominee of the demo
cratic party for president and will again
be defeated. From the above it does
not seem as if Mr. Sewall is much of a
Bryan man.
Too many men had rather have an
official position than a prosperous coun
try. And to get these positions they
are willing to sacrifice principles and
wink at evils that are ruining our
oountry. The man who wants office
badly is always ready to make compro
mises, however much these compromis.
ei may antagonize the rights of the
people at large.
Bill Arp in his last Sunday’s letter in
The Atlanta Constitution, amongmany
other things has the following to say
about tho last legislature:
‘‘The last legislature was a miserable
abortion. If Carlysle were here to
write its hißtory he would say! ‘The
last Georgia legislature had 220 mem
bers —mostly fcols.” ’
Jackson Court.
This, the last week of Jackson corn
ty superior court is a very busy one,
and Judge Russell is dispatching bus:*
ness in a huiry. The State vs Cicero
Weir, was tried Tuesday and at mid
night the jury brought in a verdiot of
not guilty. The State vs Henry Fu'ob
er charged with the murder of F. M.
Holliday, was called Wednesday morn
ing. The defense anounoed ready, but
Mr. Freemaa, the material witness for
the state, not being present, the oase
was continued until tomo.Tow (Friday)
afternoon. The sheriff went down this
morning to monroe to see if Mr. Free
man was in a condition of mind that
would justify him being carried to Jef
ferson. The murder of Mr Holliday
was a foul deed and every good oitizen
of the conutv is anxious that the guilty
party who ever that may be will be
puruished for the horrible crime.
It locks now as if court would last
until the close of Saturday. The grand
j.r yis try ing to finish up iti bu ines3
if possible by tonight or Friday at neon.
This body is composed of men who are
working hard and lcoking alter every
interest of the oouuty.
The crowds have not been as large
this week ni last on account of the
heavy rains end high waters.

Hon. Thomas E. Watson is writing
the biography of Thomas Jefferson, and
James Schouler is figuring on the life
of Alexander Hamiltan. The livei of
these two noted statesmen, written by
such eminent authors, will find a royal
welcome amorg the masses,
We do not know so much about Mr.
Scbonler’s works, but we can say there
is no more interesting writer, any
where, than Mr. Watson. Those who
read his “Roman Sketches" and "Hie
tory of France," will readily testify to
this fact.
Wharton Barker’s paper, “The Amer
ican," is Allied with valuable infer .na
tion, and every American, who possibly
can should read it. His letter in refer
ence to the Trasnva: 1 war, is an able
document and establises clearly the
cause of this terrible conflict.
Well, what about the dog? Poor old
fellow, has he no friends? He has
served us as best his judgement would
warrant; he has watched our interest in
prosperity and In adversity; his watch
fulness has been the means of saving
many lives and millions of dollars worth
of property; he has been man’s associ
ate and closest friend from the begin
ning of time. Poor dog, why is it tiia*
you have beome so unworthy of late?
Is it because man has become so de
based as to need you no longer? Ah, we
are cognizant of the situation and know
the intention of such laws, but we wait
to see the end.
The road law in this county, Walton,
is working wonders. The Bystem
been in opperatiou only a few years
and the roads are much improved, in
places. The cost of opperation is not
more than S7OO or SBOO a month. Our
taxes are only $1.35 on the sloo* Ihe
county is not is not' in dept to liu.-t,
only SIO,OOO to $15,000. Those subject
to road duty only have to work five days
in the year. Before we had the help of
the chaingang we often worked two or
three days. See?
If the dog law becomes opperative in
our county, and proves as successful as
the road law, we will certainly have
something to tell you about.
Walton county has four weekly news
papers, and two others just over line.
It has two cotton factories, two guano
factories, one handle factory and four
railroads. Ain’t she “humming?”

There is a general advance in prices,
which is pointed to as one of the evi
dences of prosperity. And it does mean
that the few who get the advance are
prospering. There is one great corpor
ation. however, that has not advanced
its charges. Postage stamps remain at
the same old figure and the employes
are the best paid, most respected of any
in the land and the company is
cutting down its defic it every year, in
spite of the lobdery by the gentlemen
railroad managers. This is the differ
ence between private robbery aud pub
lic business.
“After doctors failed to cure me of

A Sensible Artic’e.
From Representative.
The Tribune of Feb. 5 contains
the following article, which wi.l interest
onr readers:
The Tribune is in receipt of a long
letter from one Ralph B. Larkin, dated
at Buena Vista, Col., making an appeal
for aid for the famine sufferersoi India.
Ho reviews Lord Curzoa’s recent report,
which states that the famine r~ea has
increased until now it includes 20,000,
000 more people than it did two mouths
ago, making a total of 50,000,0005ta ving
people. The fact that this famine fol*
low3 so oloeely upon that of ’97 makes
it still more appalling, and it bids fair
to be more destructive than that one
—and Jnlian Hawthorne estimated the
deaths from the lrst famine to be be
tween 8,000,000 and 9,000,000.
Mr. Larkin adds: ; “May I ask if you
would be willing to open your columns
for an India relief fund? If the great
dailies of America earnestly take up the
matter hundreds of thousands, and per
haps millions of dollars will be given,
hundreds of thonsands of people might
be rescued, and prosperous America
would scarcely know the difference. I
have seen a statement that the British
gove.nment in India proposes to spend
£75,000,000 in relief measures, but I es
t.mate that perhaps four times that
amount should be available. No rain
in quantities to be of much service can
be expected befere June, and no harvest
before autumn."
Tbe Tribune submits Mr. Larkin’s
appeal for the consideration of. the
charitably inclined, but we do not feel
like opening an India famin relief
fund and brirging any special pressure
to bear upon the people of the United
States to contribute to it. For we have
troubles of our own. It is not long
since President McKinley issued an ap
peal for help to the starving in Cuba.
The situation in Cuba has sinc3 beeu
mitigated by wise administration, but
there are said to be thousands in Puerto
Rico needing relief. We are engaged
in an expensive operation for the re
generation of the Philippine lslauds.
A? a results of the destruction of war,
many there will be iu need of help, and
olr war taxes will have to be paid for
many years to c -me.
The United States aud the people of
the United States will look after their
own poor and needy, and Great Britain
must look after hers. Great Britain
has been regnant in India for 300 years
aud has drained the land of fabulous
riches. Even now, in the midst of fam
ine, Lord Curzon, vice regent is holding
a court of regal splondor and using up
millions of the Indian revenue in vain
pageantry ad fashionable display. In
all the time tnat the English have be< n
in India it would seem that a wise sys
t on of administration would have pre
vented these recurring famines.
As an instance showing that some
thing is wrong, we may state that some
districts of India are actually export og
wheat and thus depressing the price of
the cereal grown by American farmeis,
while other districts of India are sum r
ing from famine. Why not at least
keep all the food grown in India to feed
the home population?
The responsibility for the well being
of India is upon Great Britain and
Great Britain is rich enough to furnish
the needed relief. Mr. Larkin says that
$5 wil keep a family of five persons
alive for a month. What a vast num
ber of families Queeu Victoria, the
prime of Wales and the other members
of the royal family, who are; drawiug
large incomes from the pnblio treasury,
might keep alive out of their surplus!
If the case is so urgent in India let the
thousands of Britons enjoying enor
mous incomes curtail their fashionable
expenditures and furnish the funds
needed for famine relief. With war in
South Africa aud famine in India it is
a time for self denial in British society,
for an abandonment of all trivolity un
til the situation improves, aud for the
appropriation of everything beyond a
comfortable competency to the relief of
their own unfortunate.
We would not dissuade any American
from contributing to the India famine
relief, bat we do not hesitate to say the
first duty of relief rests upon the nation
which holds India in vassalage.
It seems to us that famines presup
pose misgoverument. While it is true
that droughts or excessive rainfall may
destroy growing crops, yet if the people
have had a fair opportunity to retain
the fruits of their own industry during
the years when the crops were good,
adverse couditic .s for a year or two
would not bring them to starvation.
But when they are robbed and plun
dered to the verge of bankruptcy, the
failure of the crops for a single year
brings millions of them to the most
horrible of deaths.
The government of the United States
is by no means perfect, but if the crops
failed us for a year or two all over the
country, while there would be much
bankruptcy and suffering, very few
would perish for want of food. The
community would live upon its accum
ulated resources as a bear does ou its
fat in ths winter time.
The riot and extravagance of the rich
is represented in the destitntion and
misery of the poor; and eventually in
the death of millions. Our prolific
mother, the earth, is able to feed all her
children if the selfishness and folly of
the few did not grab the sustenanoe of
the many.
Look oh. rp, good people of America,
that steadily advancing civil misgovern
meat does not bring yoa to tbe Hindos
conditions.—lgnatius Donnelly.

Our democratic brethren down in
Walton are engaged in a first class fam
ily row. It is api tin cas9 of the “ins”
trying to stay in and the “outs” trying
to get in. The matter has matured in
to the establishment of anew paper In
Mom oe to be used as the mouth piece
of the “out ?,” and things are warming
up nicely. The funny part of the whole
affair is the fact that the outs claim to
be great friends to prohibition, but
their paper, The Tribune, was estab
lished in antagonism to the News and
Messenger, owned by Hon. Joe Feliter,
who is a for State Senate,
and who voted for the Willingham Bill,
and secured the passage of a bill abol
ished the government distillers in Wal
ton county. Added to these facts, the
News-Messenger is a red hot prohibi
tion paper. In this dilimma, the “outs”
will find it no easy task to convince the
public that they are altogether sincere
iu their devotion to the cause of prohi
bition.
The Walton Tribune this week in
speaking of a white primary, throws
out this precious morsel to the pops:
“To err is human, to forgive is divine.
Let our populist friends come tuck into
the house of their fathers by participat
ing in a white primary.” Now isn’t it
just too lovely to have the editor of this
dear Tribute speaking so gently! “To
forgive is divine ” Forgive who? for
give what? What wrong have we com
mitted in leaving the democratic party?
None, absolutely none. Wo did right
to leave it when it had become so inlest
ed with politic 1 prv, tit jtes. And its no
better now thaa when we left it, and
we will not go into your primary, bud

There is no better medicine for the
babies than Chamberlain’s Cough Rem
edy. Its pleasant tasre and prompt and
effectual cures make it a favorite with
mothers and small children. It quickly
cures their coughs aud colds, prevent
ing pneumonia or other serious conse
quence It also cnre3 croup aud has
been used in tens of thousands of ccses
without a single failure so far as we
have been able to lea n. It not only
cures croup, butwhen given as soon as
the croup appears, will prevent
the attack. In cases of whooping congh
it liquefies the tough mucus, making
it easier to expectorate, and lessens the
severity and frequency of the parox
yarns of coughing, thus depriving that
disease of all dangerous consequences.
