THURSDA7. FEBRUARY 15. 1900.
The do* law is the all absorbing theme
with the Georgia voter* at the present
time.
The worshiping of a party name and
■ wallowing everything that is said by
the politician because he belongs to your
party hae been one of the g. sat factors
in enslaving The mc'ses.
Etci-t man should investigate and
think eome for himself on all question?
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 ev?r remain a child and continue
to build frog houses in the sand for his
amnement and pleasure.
Mr. Sewall, tie'noe presidential can
d.date of the democratic party in the
l*t rac>, or in otner words, Mr. Bryan’s
running mate in Ibis?-, says ilr. Bryan
will again 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. Sewali is much of a j
Bryan man.
Too many men bad rather bare an
official position than a prosperous c:ur
ary. A.nd to pet these positions they
are willing to saerifioe principles and
wink at evils that are mining our
country. The man who warts office
badly is always ready to make com pro
miaes, however much these oompromi*.

The Atlanta Constitution, amongmany
other things ha the following to say
about the last legislature:
“The last legislature was a miserable
abortion. If Carlysle were here to
write its history he would say! "The
last Georgia legislature had 230 mem

Jackson Court.
Tnis, the last week of Jackson corn
ty superior court is a very busy one,
and Judge Bussell is dispatching bos *

night the jury brought in a verdict of
not guilt/. The State rs Henrv Fu’cl

Holliday, was called Wednesday morn
ing. The defense anounoed ready, bat
Mr. Freeman, the material witness for
the state, not being present, the case
w! con tinned until to mo/row (Friday; |
afternoon. The sheriff went down this
morning to man roe to see if Mr. Free
man wfi 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 eitiren
of the cDuntr is anxious that the guilty
p*rty whoever that may be will be
punished for the horrible crime.
It .o is now as if court would last
until the close of Saturday. The grand
j" vis try.ng to finish up it* he in-5?

Hon Thomas E. Watson is writing
the biography of Tnomas Jeffereon, and
James Schooler is figuring on the life
of Alexander Ham.tan. Tae live* of
these two noted statesmen, written by
such eminent authors, will find a royal
welcome amor g the masses.
We do not know so mocn about Mr.
Scbouler's works, bat we can say there
is no mors inte.wsting writer, any
where, than Mr. Watson. Taoee who
reaa his “Roman Sketches” and “Rn
tory of Franofc,” will reedily testify to
this fact.

Well, what about the dog? Poor old
fellow, has he no friends? He has
served ns a? best his judgement would
■ warrant; he ha? watched our interest in
prosperity and In adversity; his watch
fulness has been the mesas 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 tna.
you have beom* so unworthy of late?
Is it because man has become so de
based as to need yen no longer? Ait, we
are cognizant of the situation and know
the intention of such laws, but we wait
to ®ee the end.
The ro-*d law in this county, Walton,
is working wonders. The system ha'
been in opperaticn only a few years
and the roads are much improved, io

taxes are only 1 1 So on the sl<Jo* The
county is not is not in dept to he. 7,
only flo,ooo to f 15.000. Those snbject

in the year. Before we had the help of
the chaingang we often worked two or
three day-. See:
If the dog law becomes operative in
onr county, and proves as successful as
the road law, we will cartainJy have
something to tell you about.

There is a general advance in price?,
which is pointed to a: 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

its charges. Postage stamps remain at
tbe 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

A Sensible Artic e.
Fr:m Representative.
The Tribune of Feb. 5 contains
the following article, which wi 1 interest
our reader?
The Tribune is in receipt of a long
letter irom one Ralph B La-kin, dated
at Buena Y.sta, Col., making an appeal
for aid for the famine sufferers o' In .ia.
He review* Lord Curxon’s recent report,
which state* that the famine r-ea has
increased until now it include# 50,000,
000 mere people than it did two months
ago, making a total of 50,000,000 it! Ting
peop.e. The fact that tuis famine fol
lows so closely upon that of ’97 znakm
it still more appalling, and it bids fair
to be more destructive than that one
—and Julian Hawthorne estimated the
deaths from the lrst famine to be be
tween 5,000, (WO and 9,000,000.
Mr. Larkin adds: 1 “May I ask if you
would be walling to open your columns
for an India relief fund? If the great
dailies of America earnestly take np the
matter hundreds of thousands, and per
haps millions of dollars will be given,
hundreds of thousands of people sight
be rescued, and frosperotu America
would scarcely know the difference. I
have seen a statement that the British
government in India proposes to spend
{■75,000,000 in relief measures, but I es
timate that pemaps four tames teat
amount should be available. No rain
in quantities to be of muih scrvdcj can
be expected befc re Jure, and no harvest
before mama"
The Tribune submits Mr. Larkin’s
appeal few the consideration of the
charitably inclined, bat we do not feel
like opening an India famin re.ief
fund and bnrging any special pressure
to bear upon the people of the United
States to oont.ibute to it. For we haTe
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 since been
mitigated by wise administration, but
there are said to be thousands in Puerto
Rlto needing relief. We are engaged
in an expensive operation for the re
generation of the Philippine islands.
Asa results of the destruction of war,
manv there will be in need of help, ana
oir war taxes will have to be paid for
many years to c me.
The Uni tad Stabs and the people of
the Uni led States will look after their
own poir and needy, and Great Britain
must look after hers. Great Britain
has been regnant in India for 300 years
and 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 sp'ondor and using up
millions of tne Indian revenue in vain
pageantry ad fashionable display. In
all the time tnat the English have be n
ia India it would seem that a wise sys
t m of administration won and have pre
vented these recurring famines.
As an instance showing that some
thing is wrong, we may state that * me
districts of India are actual/ export og
wheat and thus depressing the price cf
the cereal grown by American farms: a,
while other districts of India are sua- r
ing from famine. Why not at least
keep all the food grown in India to feed
tne home pep mat, on?
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 Queen Victoria the
prime of Wales and the other members
of the royal family, wno are] drawing
Large incomes from the pub ic treasury,
might keep alive out of their surplus!
If the cas? is so urgent in India let the
thousands of Bntoas enjoying enor
mous incomes curtail their fashionable
expenditure* and furnish the funds
needed for famine re let With war in j
South Africa and famine in India it is
a time for self denial in British society,
for an abandonment of all trivolitj un
til the situation improve*, and for the
appropriation of everything beyond a
oomfortabie competency to the relief of
their own unfortunate.
We would not dissuade any American
irom contributing to the India famine
relief, but we do not hesitate to say the
first duty of relief rests npoa the nation
which holds India in vassalage.
It poems to us that famines presup
pose misgov eminent. While it is true
that drougats or excessive rainfall may
destroy growing crops, yet if the people
asre aid afa - opportunity to re r am
the fruits of then own industry daring
the years when the crop? were good,
adverse conditic 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 tae crop# for a single year
brings millions of ihexn to the most
hornb.e of deaths.
The government of the United State*
is by no means perfect, but if the crops
tai.ed a* for a rear or iwo au over the
chantry, whi.e 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 on its
fat in tn- winter time.
The riot and extravagant* of tne rich
is represented in the destitution and
misery of the poor; ard eventualy in
the deatn of millions. Our prolific
mother, the earth, is able to feed aJ her
children if the selfishness and folly of
the few did not grab the sustenance of
the many.
Look -h rp, good people of America,
that steadily advancing civil maagov*,m
msnt doe? not bring yon to tbs Hind os
conditions.—lgnatius Donnelly.

Oar democratic brethren down in
Walton are engaged in a first class fam
ily row. It is a plain case of the •‘Las”
trying to stay m and the "outs” trying
to get in. The matter ha? matured in
to the establishment of anew paper la
Mom oe to be need as the mouth piece
of the ‘-out ;,” and things are warm’ ng
up nicely. The fanny part of the whole
affair is the fact test tne outs claim to
be great frienis to prohibition, but
their paper. The Tribune, was estab
lished in antagonism to the News and
Messenger, owned by Hon. Joe Felxer,
who is a candidate for State Senate,
and who voted for the Willingham Bill,
and secured the passage of a bill abol
ished the government disklLers in Wal
ton county. Aided to these facts, the
News-Messenger is a red hot prohibi
tion paper. In thi* di’imai, the “outs”
will find it no easy task to convince the
public that they are altogether sinoere
m their devotion to the cause of prohi
bition.
The Walton Tribune this week in
speaking of a white primal/, throws
out this precious morsel to the pops:
“To err is human, to forgive is divine.
Let our populist friends come bock into
the house of their fathers by participat
ing in a white prima-y.” 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 wnat? What wrong have we com
mitted in leaving tin democratic party?
None, absolutely none. We did ngfct
