The prohibition representatives were
snubbed by the State democratic execu
tive committee in Atlanta last week.
The state executive committee ofjtbe
Democratic party cf Georgia met in At
lanta last week and declared the negro
should not be allowed to vote in their
primaries this year. They also declared
that no white man would be allowed to
cast his vote in their primaries unless
ho was a democrat.
Winder needs a foundry and machine
(■hop, two cotton factories, an oil mill
and fertilizer factory, a dozen or more
smaller manufacturing enterprises and
19,000 inhabitants. We can soon have
the 10,000 people if we can get the other
things. It takes men of push and back
bone, coupled with good business judg
ment to bring about these resuits.
The difference between areal populist
and fusionist is, the populist has a di
vorce from the old parties without ali
mony, while the fusionist has alimony
without divorce.—Buzz Saw.
One of the statements you run up
against from the defenders of private
monopoly is, that oii is cheaper since
the Standard got control of the market
than it ever was and therefore the pri
vate monopoly of oil is a benefit to the
pni'lio. There is no monopoly in the
production of cotton, which sold years
ago for 25 cents a pound and later sold
for 5 cents. How do you reconcile these
facts? Improved methods of production,
methods that have been thought out by
working men, have made the cost of
producing oil infinitely less. It is high
er today than years ago if you will take
the necessary labor or methods of the
two periods into comideratiou. Oil is
cheaper in money, but it is selling for
easily ten times what is paid labor for
producing and transporting, neverthe
less, Private monopoly prevents the
price of oil from falliug to one cent per
gallon.—Appeal to Reason.
In 1864, President Licoln, bowed
down with the weight of immediate
responsibilities, yet looking forward to
dangers more grave even than oivil war
and the deliberate attempt by force of
arms to disrupt the Union, wrote thus
from the White House to Mr. Eikins,
an Illinois friend:
"I see in the near future a crisis ap
proaching that unnerves me and causes
me to tremble for the safety of my
country. Asa result of the war corpo
rations have been euthroaued, and an
era of corruption in high places will fol
low. The money power of the oouutry
will endeavor to prolong its reign by
working upon the prejudices of the peo
ple until all wealth is aggregated in a
few hands and the republic is destoyod.
I feel at this moment more anxiety for
the safety of my couutry than ever be
fore, even in the midst of war. God
grant that my suspicions may prove
groundless!’’
in no other year tince Lincoln’s pro
phetic words were written have
there been so many proofs that it was
indeed the forecast of a seer, whose vis
ion was made clear by an abounding
love for his fellows, and a patriotism as
deep and pure as ever lived in the soul
of man. Today the aggregated wealth
under the control of fewer than 100 men
mounts up into the billions, whereas
in Linooln’s day the millionaire was a
rarity.—Ex.
A Presage For
New Century.
The bishops of the Methodist church
have made and appeal to the member
ship, iu which they point out the de
cline of the creed iu these words:
“The decline iu our membership is
not an accident It comes from a suffi
cient cause. The cause is the slipping
cog in our expe ienca, our lack of spir
tnal power. The gulf between capital
and labor threatens us both sides. On
one side, ‘not many mighty, not many
noble, are called.’ On the other, strange
forces are alienating the poor. The la
bor anions, organized most compaotly,
are much influenced by men hostile to
the church. Their gatherings are gen
erally on the Sabbath, thus keeping the
men out of our reach. We seem in
some places above our business.
It was the immortal Burns who petit
ioned: “O, wad the powers the giftie
gie us to -ee ourselves as others see us ”
If the bishoj s had this power they
would see how far wrong they are iu
the determining cause for the decline of
the church. The ohuroh has put itself
out of sympathy with the laboiing mas
ses; the poor no longer feel at home
within the temple; mammon worship
has usuro and the place of the meek and
lowly; the church is little else than a
club-house where people disport their
best clothes and cover up the misdeeds
of the week by pretense to righteous
ness; the be9t pews are filled by men
and women who get their living by
usury in its various forms of interest,
rent and profit; tnose who add house to
house and farm to farm are the pillars
of the church, and it is no longer a
guarantee against the house of the wid
ow and orphan being swallowed because
a member of the church holds a legal
ciuch on the home; the spine of commu
nism on which the early church was
built has been abandoned and no longer
considered a part of the Christian creed.
Under the inspiration of the benefits
and brotherly feeling that flowed from
a recognition of the common ownership
ot the earth aud the fullness thereof,
the "oommon people heard Him gladly,”
aud they would hear the same salvation
just as gladly today, but where is such
doctrine preached? Not only Methodism
but all other religions isms are declining
for the same reason. Christianity is
the correct theory of life here, but it has
no followers. The form has usurped
the spirit and the spirit has fled Ko, it
is no accident —this decline. It has suf
hcieut cause. The church has moved
away from the poor and left them to
their fate at the mercy of t;:e rich mon
ey-changers and usurers, while ihe lat
ter are toadied to and held np as the
salt of the earth—if they will only pay
sou e of their blood money into the con
tribution box. It there is anyone thing
about the Christian religion abont which
there can be no dispute, it is the recog
nition of the Fatherhood of God and
the Brotherhood of Man. And what of
that recognition is there in the face of a
dozen churches in one place, each mak
ing professions and yet refusing to asso
ciate together in common devotion? As
ye have sown, so shall ye reap.—Ap
peal to Reason.
Education and Discontent
Albert E. McKay, quoting from Mau
rice Thompson’s article on Education
and Discontent, in whioh he speaks of
the common labor of the fields as hav
ing to be done by someone, and that
people should be contented with what
ever vocation falls to their lot, is in my
opinion entirely wrong. It is preaohed
by a class who desire to keep for them
selves and their descendants the cream
of earth’s fruits while they feed the
masses on the oores and pariugs.
Suppose since time began every hu
man beiug had been content with his or
her lot? Do these gentlemen imagine
there would have been much progress
made by the human race? If a mau,
no matter what his position, is not suit
ed so as he can obtain the first— fruits
of his labor, he has a perfect right to be
discontented, and it is this very discon
tent that has broken tHte shackles from
the slave aud given us the faint sem
blance of fi eadom we now have, and
this discontent will, like a leaven, con
tinue to work until the whole is leav
ened and justice, in fact as well as
name, rules the earth.
As to e ucatiou —whatever vocation
in life we are called on to fill, whether
it be a laborer iu the field or a judge
upon the bench—unless we are pos essed
with a knowledge of our rights and how
to assert them, unless we are acquaint
ed with the rights of others and how
not to encroach upon them, we are but
poor citizens of a Republic which de- j
dares to the world “That men are en
dowed by their Creator with certain
inalienable rights among whioh are the
right to life, to liberty and to the pur
suit of happiuess.”
This, aud this alone, is true education.
Without it we are but little better than
the cattle.— R. Price Cooper in Satur
day Evening Poet
Never Admit Defeat.
Kditorial in March Success.
Never admit defeat or poverty though
you seem to be down and have not a
cent. Stoutly assert your divine right
to be a man, to hold your head up and
look the world in the face; step bravely
to the front, whatever opposes, and the
world will make way for you. No one
will insist upon yoar rights while you
yourself doubt that you possess the
qualities requisite for success. Never
allow yourself to be a traitor to yoar
own ciuse by undermining your self
confidence.
There never was a time before when
persistent, orginal force was so much
in demand as now. The namby-pamby,
nerveless man has little show in the
hustling world of today. In the
twentieth century a man must either
push or be pushed.
Every one admires the man who can as
sert his rights, and has the power to do
mand and take them if denied him. No
one can respect the man who slinks in
the rear, apolog ze9 for being in the
world Negative virtues are of no nse
in winning one’s way. It is the positive
man, the mail with original energy and
push that forges to the front.
About Money.
Money is a medium of exchange.
Money is not a standard of value.
Money is a creation of law.
Gold and silver are not money unless
so declared by law.
There is no such thing as “money of
the world,” or “Gou’s money.”
All values are measured by labor. It
is the only true standard of value.
Money should exist in sufficient quan
tities to transact the business of the
community on , cash basis. hatever
government makes a legal tender for
the payment of debts is money.
The relative value between money
and commodities depends upon the re
lative quantity of each.
Price is the expression of the relation
between money and commodities.
When money is plentiful the price of
products is high. When money is
scarce the price of products is low. The
remedy for low prices of labor’s pro
ducts is plenty of money.—Buzz Saw.
By the manipulation of the wire and
nail trust the prices on wire nails have
been advanced 200 per cent. Why don’t
postape stamps and postal cards go up?
They are made by a trust. —Ex.
Forty or more years ago these words
were uttered by a great thinker:
The feudalism of capital is no. a whit
less formidable than the feudalism of
force. The millionaire i9 as dangerous
to the welfare of the community, in our
day, as was the baronial lord in the
middle-ages. Both supply the means
of shelter and of raiment < n the same
conditions; both hold their retainers iu
service by the same tenure —their nec
essity for bread; both use their superi
ority to keep themselves superior. The
power of money is as imperial as the
power of the sword; I may as well de
pend upon another for my bread. The
day is sure to come when men will look
back npon the prerogative of capital, at
the present time with a9 severe and as
jast a condemnation as we now look
down upou the predatory cheiftains of
the Dark Ages. —Horace Mann.
Items Picked
Up By The Way.
Tbe more I study human nature the
more I become convinced that it is the
same. Take a child and it is noticable
that its likes and dislikes are the same
as other children. This is before any
restraints are thrown around it. As
soon as a child enters society, even
school, its childish ways and its nature
begins to become a servant to its better
judgement and its environments.
Remove all the restrictions from the
human family aud we would be approx
imately the same. We often hear the
remark “if 1 were Mr. S, I would do
so”; or “it I were Mr. S, I would not do
so.” Feruaps, if we were iu his place
we would do just as ho does, for we
must remember if wa were ia his place
we would be just as he.
We judge, often, the aotious of an
other incorrectly by not being familiar
with the surroundings; then again, we
sometimes approve or condemu the ac
tions of another from a selfish stand
point, not considering their actions nor
what gave rise to them. Oh, the human
family is a great fault fiuder.
Mauy of us are foud of haviug plenty
to do, especially if it is looking attar the
other fellow’s business. “The heart is
deceitful above all tbihgs and desper
ately wicked.”
The writer heard Rev. J. W. Baker,
an old Methodist minister, say years
ago, that we should never say “we
would not do so and so,” bnt say it
would have been better to have done
differently; or you don’t think you
would do so.
There seems to be, judgiug from their
actions, many who have no aim iu life
—they are not expecting to accomplish
anything. It seems to me to be one of
the sadest things imaginable to think,
of any one living a life without benefit
ing the world in any way. A man
drifting along without any purpose is
apt to end in something worse than
nothing.
If there can be such a thing as an im
position on creation, it is the fellow
without any purpose. Every Oi-e should
contribute to the great structure of life,
by helping humanity to a higher, nobler
civilization.
A man is usually judged, while liv
ing, by his mistakes, after death by his
successes. If we can not forgive our
fellowman for his imperfections, how
can we expect the Father of all to for
give ns of onr sins? Right along at
this point we should learn a good les
son. We should do more and jndge
less. “Judge not, that ye be not judged,
for with what judgement ye judge ye
shall be judged.”
Ido hope that this year will mark a
great advaucement toward socializing,
moralizing and christianizing the peo
ple. How many are willing to help to
bring about this great needed reform?
Yours for humanity,
J. L. M.

Three Men Convicted for Throw
ing Stones at a S. A. L.
T rain.
“Here is another illustration,’ re
marked one of the officials of the opera
ting department of the Seaboard Air
Line this morning, of the fact “that
persons who persist in throwing stones
and other missiles at moving trains
mast sooner or later come to grief.
“The case in question is one that oc
curred last December. The conductor
on one of onr vestibuled trains reported
a window light broken out by a stone
thrown into the train. It is likely that
few railroads in the country are as per
sistent as the Seaboard Air Line in fol
lowing up such miscreants, and this
case which started with barely no evi
dence at all, has just wound up in court
proceeedings before Judge Buchanan at
Lanreus, S. C., with the result that
three negroes, Joseph Ball, Thorton
Boyd and J. Leak, respectively, were
proved guilty of this charge, and sen
teuced to two years in the South Caro
lina penitentiary.”—Portsmouth Star.
