THURSDAY. MARCH 8, 1900.
We hope every member of the execu.
tive committee, and as many others as
can, will be at Jefferson on the Ist
Tuesday iu April. Don’t forget the
day, but arrange your business so as to
be on hand. There are several matters
of importauco to be discussed.
We give much of our space this week
on editorial page to the excellent letter
o rCol. Peek aud the call of chairman
MeKnight for the State Convention.
This will ha interesting reading matter
to all populists and can bo road with
profit, and wo hope with pleasure, by
those who yet do not agree with us ou
political lines.
Killing of Edward Brooks.
The killing of Edward Brooks in At
lanta on last Friday night by a young
man by the namo of Adkins was a great
shook to his many friends in this county.
Ho was raised at Jt-fferson and his
father, Mr. A. E. Brooks up to last year
had boon one of the prominent citizens
of Jefferson for over 30 years, moving
to Atlauta about one year ago,
TriE Economist sincerely sympathizes
with Mr. Baooks and family in the
severe ordeal through which they are
passing. None can realize how severe
their grief is and the extent of their
sorrow and sadness.
R. D. Moore Elected.
county met at Jefferson last Tuesday
for the third time for the purpore of
eleoting a county school commissioner.
Considerable interest, by the people
generally of the county, was manifested
in the result. The present Commission
er, G. J. N. Wilson and R. D. Moore
were the applicants for the position.
Ill# vote stood three for Moore and
two for Wilson. General Wilson has
bseu commissioner of the county ever
since the inauguration of the public
school sysvern and has the reputation of
being one of tho best county school
commissioners iu tho State. He was
very popular with the teachers and
took groat pride iu his work.
Mr. Moore is an old and experienced
teacher and well qualified for the work.
We nnderstaud the election will.be con
tested on the grouuds that Dr. Hard
man, one of the board, was not eligible
to vote The groat trouble with the
whole thing is that politics was inj iot
ed into the election.
Ihiugs are getting in bad shape when
the politicians manipulate the educa
tional interests of a countj, the grand
juries, the churches eto The man who
cannot see that these things are done
at the present time is a simpleton of the
simplest type.
There is much rejoicing among the
democratic press of Georgia over the
aunual announcement of Mr. James
Barrett of Augusta that he had decided
to be one of their flock again. The pop
ulist party withdrew fellowship from
him .1 two yours ago and thought ho
had 10.i,; siuce been recognized by the
democrats. We presume they have on
ly had h.m on probation all this time
and that his repentance nas satisfied
them and he has at last been admitted
as one of tho elect. We hope he will
not be forced to make another an
nouncement of his fealty. Such men
as Mr. Barrett belong to the democratic
party and are of littlejservice to any par
ty that believes in reform. The Popu
list party is to be ooDgratulated on the
political change of Mr. Barrett
The Situation.---By Hon. Wm, L. Peek.
Editor Jackson FooNOMiST:-Since the Nashvi.le Coufereace there been a
division among true Populists as to Chairman Butler’s position. The difference
wL honest, and tune has swept all differences away, as Mr. Butler's actions at
Lincoln Neb., on the 19th of February proved him to be everything but a Popu
list. In national politics he is a Bryan Democrat; in State politics he is a Ke
publican, and owes all that he is to fusion with the Republicans. Like the rog,
he is amphibions and lives at times in and then out of his party, just accord ng
to the lump of mud upon which he wants to rest.
That he is completely out of the way of the progress of the Peoples party
there can be no doubt, and we in Georgia are now all midlle-of-roaders. Lot us
spread ourselves, organize and build up our party and save this republic. Every
one must make some personal sacrifice and put forth all their energy *o suoced.
No one can afford to remain lukewarm because we have been betrayed. All
causes for the betterment of the human family have had their traitors
We can succeed if we will. I have abiding faith iu the people. They have
overthrown kingdoms and empires, and have made tyrants lick the dust; they
have revolted at oppression—yea, less oppression than we are beating to-dday.
They succeeded then, and we will succeed now.
If there be a doubting one among us, let me ask can there be any good thing
expected from either of the old partie*?

For over thirty-five years they have ruled this nation in the interest of the
great money powers. The producers of wealth-the toiling masses-have been
made absolute industrial slaves to the moneyed aristocracy, and we in many in
stances were parties to our own destruction.
He who fails to act his pact in shaping the policy of his country to the gen
eral welfare of all the people falls short of the duties of a good citizen, and is
guilty of the sin of omission and will hare to i.Bk the pardon of the millions af*
fected thereby before he can reach the pearly gates.
Georgia Populists, let us forget our mistakes and presß forward to victory.
Lot us do our duty as we see it and with a determination to suoceed. Let us all
be at our state convention in Atlanta on Tuesday, April 10th, and make the
Peoples Party a power iu the shaping o'. the policy of this nation. In October
let us roll up a large majority than we did iu 1834, when Judge Hines was elect
ed Governor Yes. roll up a majority like they did in Kentucky, so large that
the Democratic returning board will be obliged to conut us in.
At the meeting in Liucolu we have lost nothing, but have gained. As for
me and mine, may the Lii'l be praised that Butler, Allen, Simpiou and Weaver
have left the pure Populist party, to return no more. And like Uncle Johnnie
when Aunt Sarah died and his neighbors wero consoling him and begging him
to be reconciled to her death, he wiped his eyes and with an overflow of the
heart remarked that he had been reconciled to Sarah’s death for mauy years.
And so have I to the death of this four.
And, uow, alas! it is reputed that Mr. Butler was nude Cnairmau of the
People’s party iu 189 H to guard the interest of Mr. Watson, who was made tha
running mate of Mr, Bryan at the fusion deal iu St. Louis. And Mr, Butler did
guard the interest of Mr. Watson, as the lion guards the lamb—only to crush
him at the first opportunity. No saue or unprejuiiced man, regardless of party
affiliation, willdoubt that he did his work as well as Brutus or Bened.ct Arnold
did thiers; and now lie, Allen, Weaver and Simpson have made their oscape and
have taken refuge in the maw of Bryan democracy. Let all true Populists re
joice. If the democracy can retain this quartet of pie hunters it will be a sur
prise to the nations of the earth. If the big four keep their reputation of hust
ling for positions it ia more cortain than prophecy that iu the scramb'e they will
inflame the appendix of the old democratic party to the extent that expansion of
*ts domain nor the knife against trusts cau reach the parts, and death to this
democratic party tnat has boeu ou all side3 of all questions that have been boiore
the people in the past thirty five years, will be a great relief to this nation, aud
wo appoint Tracv of Texes and Kolb of Alabama pallbearers, aud as the remains
pass to their last place of rest, the mourners will sing:—
“What a tangled web they did weave
When practicing others to deceive.”

PENTECOST.
We are having a few days of pretty
weather and the farmers are making
good use of it.
Rev. G. W. Tamliu has been s ! ck for
some time, but is able to be up again
and filled his appointment at Pleasant
Hill Sunday.
From the way Mr. E S. Liueis haul
ing out guano he means to try to make
cotton. Ed is a hustler and we arc glad
to have such neighbors.
Dr. Bauks, ' he Specialist of Bowman,
Georgia, has taken charge of Mrs. W.
S. Segars, who has been sick for some
time and we hope lie will have success.
Mr. G. W. Hammond is very ill at
this writing.
The singing at this place was nice
Sunday aud the community around will
organize a Sunday school here Sunday.
Every body is invited, and bring all the
song boeks aud Testaments.
Maggie aud Sallie Segars vis

Mr. Luther Steed’s horse ran away
with him last week and threw him out

ously, but tore his buggy into pieces.
Mr. aud Mrs. W. J. Haynie visited
the family of Mr. W. J. Jones Saturday
aud Sunday.
| The writer has just been reading the
little book written by Mr. Sheldon, “Iu
His Steps or What Would Jesus Do.”
I liis is a grand book, and every body
ought to read it, especially youug folks;
and after reading it think over what
they have read.
Success to The Economist and its
many readers aud may it continue to
prosper iu the future as it has iu the

Southern Pines The Great
Health Resort.
Col O. S. Hayes is at home again after
a visit of one mouth at Southern Pines
for his health. He gained ten pounds
during his stay and had a delightful
visit. CoL Hays, for the past tive years,
has been engaged in inducing immigra
tion aud has settled quite a number of
excellent people from the North in our
section of the state.
We had the pleasure of spending a
oouple of days at Southern Pines, at
tending the meeting of the Industrial
Agents of the S. A L. railroad about
one year ago, and know something of it
as a great health resort.
The section around Southern Pines,
Pinehurst aud Piuebluff is a sand bed,
and the atmosphere is so dry and pure
that pulmonary troubles are relieved
there quicker thau most any where else,
and it is a fine section for invalids of
all kinds. Thousands of people from
the North visit the above towns every
winter, and while the hotel facilities
equal or surpass most resorts, they are
all crowded during the winter season.
There is no more delightful section to
be found for spending a few months of
recreation aud recuperation. The S. A
L. railroad management aud Mr. J. T.
Patrick, chief Industrial Agent of this
road, have doue wonders for tho above
section of North Carolina. They have
advertised it to the world and induced
men of capital to locate there, and it
would be a big surprise to one who has
never visited it to see what energy,
persistauce and determination can da
towards developing a country aud bail
ding ug towns. A gentleman from
Canada has just located at Soutneru
Pmes, worth several millions of dollars,
aud bought 30 acres of laud just outside
of the incorporate limits at $153 per
acre, and will erect a magnificent resi
dence. A wealthy man from Pennsyl
vania hai just located there also. Now
Winder could do what the above places
have done if our people would use the
same energy aud advertise our resources
and advantages, which aro far superior
to theirs.
COLD STEEL OR DEATH.
“There is but one small chance to save
your life and that is through an opera

It is very hard to stand idly by and
see our dear oues suffer while awaiting
t “° arrival of the doctor. An Albany
(N. \.) dairyman called at a drug store
u er j for ado tor to come aa<i 800 his
chad, then very sick with croup. Not
finding the doctor in, lie left word for
him to come at once on his return. He
also bought a bottle of Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy, which he hoped would
give some relief until the doctor should
arrive. In a few hours he returned,
saying the doctor need not come, as the
child was much better. The druggist,
Mr. Otto Scholz says the family has
since recommended Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy to their neighbors and
friends until he has a constant demand
for H from that part of the country
