Gainesville is to have a million dol lar factory. The South is going to be a great man ufacturing country 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. QUESTION ANSWERED. Yes, August Flower still has the largest sale of any medicine in the civ ilized world, Your mothers’ and grand mothers’ never tliouAit or using any thing else for Indigestion or Biliousness. Doctors were scarce, aud they, seldom heard of Appendicitis, Nervous Prostra tion or Heart failure, etc. They used August Flower to clean out the system aud stop fermentation of undigested food, regulate the action of the liver, stimulate the nervous aud organic ac tion of the system, aud that is all they took when feeling dull and bd with headaches aud other aches. You only need a few doses of Green’s August Flower, iu liguid form, to make you satisfied there is nothing serious the matter with you. Sample bottles at Winder Drug Cos. SENT TO THE PENITENTIARY. 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.
