The old saying that if it rained the
first dog day it would rain for the next
forty days did not hold this time.
If you have a friend or neighbor who
has not registered get him to do so when
Mr. Brock comes to your nearest place.
Look in Thk Economist and see the
day and hour he will be there. Don’t
neglect this, please.
Fast Work at Court.
Judge Russell dispatched business in
a hurry last week at Jefferson court and
disposed of sixty odd civil and criminal
cases. Jackson couuty always has two
weeks of court every term and it was
quite a surprise to many when Judge
Russell informed them ou opening that
he would only have one week this term.
This is a great saving to the county and
should please every tax payer.
Now if the city court coold be abol
ished, whioh is a big expense to the
county and no benefit, a great burden
would be removed. Three- fourths of
the people would vote to abolish it if it
coaid be submitted to them.
The Difference.
In the democratsc primary in Forsyth
county (>OO votes were polled. In the
Populist primary 026 votes were polled.
Our old friend, R. E. Guthrie, is the
populist nominee for senator from that
district, comprising the counties of For
syth, Milton and Cherokee, and will be
elected by a handsome majority. He is
one of the truest hearted men that ever
breathed and an old confederate soldier
who lost a leg defending the lost cause.
Is This a Free Country?
Some men seem to think it is a crime
j for which there can be no pardon for
I the Populists to run a ticket in this
county. Are we not entitled to the
same rights the democratic party claims
for its organization? Is the Popuhst
party not composed of as honorable and
patriotio men as the democratic party?
Have we not as much right as the dem
ocratic party to ran a ticket in Jackson
county? Our party has a state ticket
and county tickets all over the state, and
in a number of counties in Georgia we
already have county officers and in oth
ers a part of them—notwithstanding
some opposition papers and their corres
pondents try to leave the impression
that Jackson county is the only county
in the state where we have candidates
We fail to see why any other party
has more right to have a ticket in the
field than the Populist party if we still
claim this to be a free country.
It is a difficult matter for us to have
that respect we ought aud would like
to have for a man who arrogantly pre
sumes that his party contains all the in
telligence, refinement, patriotism aud
real manhood of the county and all the
rights that should be recoguizid. We
like to see men broad enough, honest
enough and magnanimous enough to
recogniz j the claims aud convictions of
others who differ with them politically
and roligiously, and brave enough to
respect and honest and honorable op
ponent.
The men who compose the Populist
party in this couuty are among our best
citizens —they are men who help to
build up the different enterprises in the
oounty, who spend their hard eeruings
with the merchants in our towns and
thus help them in developing the many
•
enterprises that are enabling us to have
so many prosperous and growing towns
in the county. They are men who help
to pay the expenses of the county—
build its churches and school houses and
many of them are among the large tax
payers. Asa party therefore we are
entitled the same privileges as any oth*
other party.
We again repeat what we have before
stated in The Economist, that the
county democratic ticket is composed
of gentlemen and men whom we con
sider our personal friends. Tho Popu
list ticket in this county is composed of
gentlemen and men who feel as much
interest in the welfare of every citizen
as the democratic candidates. Is there
a man in the county so little and so ig
norant and so prejudiced as to claim we
are not entitled to the same recognition
legally and in every other respect as our
opponents? For myself. I wish to say
that lam the personal friend of Mr.
Appleby, whom I have the honor and
the RIGHT to rnn against xor the office
of clerk and treasurer.
If in my power to do so I would not
defraud him out of oue vote, were Ito
know that one vote would secure my
election and defeat him I shall do all
in my power that is honorable, legiti
mate aud honest to win the race against
him, and whichever way it is decided
by the legitimate votes cast, I trust the
same pleasant relations that have ever
existed between us will continue. We
feel that we can say as much for every
man on the Populist ticket.
But we maintain as our last proposi
tion that we have as much right to sub
mit our claims to the people of Jackson
couuty as our opponents aud will grate
fully appreciate the support of every
man who may cast his ballot for us.
Let us all be fair, just and honorable
and do nothing to defeat onr opponent
that we would not have him do to us.
That one nation may have empire
some other nation must be enslaved is
no truer than that one man may have
his millions thousands of his fellows
must be made slaves and paupers.
The registration books olose Septem
ber 12th. If you want to vote you
should register before it is too late.
Notice the rounds of Mr. Brock, the
registrar, and attend to this matter.
A Mighty Power.
The Standard Oil Company has paid
$158,000,000 in dividends thus far this
year and will have paid by the end of
the year $48,000,000—48 per cent, upon
its capital stock i.nd three or four times
48 per cent, upon the actual investment.
This sum is $2,000,000 greater than
the dividends of all the national banks
in the country. It is $9,000,000 more
than the Government’s annual dis
bursement for interest on the entire na
tional debt. It represents a%% per
cent, dividend upon a capital of $,371,-
000,000 —a sum greater than the value
of all the gold and silver, coined and
uncoined, publicly and privately held
in the whole United States.
And this is only a part of the power
little group of Standard Oil magnates.
There are their ten great banks and
trust companies, with annnal deposits
of $422,000,000 and annual loans of
$342,000,000—a financial ••combine’*
that controlls the money market of the
United States more perfectly than a
motormau contro's his electric car.
The above is taken from the New
York World and clearly shows the en
ormous and inconceivable deposit of
power in the hands of this mighty cor
poration. The failure of the two old
parties to protect the interests of the
people, and their legislation for the
bouefit of these vultures has enabled
them to monopolize all wealth and
placed the mass of mankind completely
unfer their power and coutral.
Mr- Boggs Writes Card.
Mr, Editor: I desire to say to my
friends over the county that it will be
impossible for me to make a thorough
personal canvass, owing to sickness in
my family, but will try aud be at as
many public gatherings as possible.
This fact kept me from accepting the
call of my people at once, but now I
have decided to make the race aud will
appreciate the aid and influence of my
friends of whatever political persuasion
they may be. If elected I will strive to
advance the best interest of Jackson
county and the state in all of my work
in the general assembly.
Yours truly.

Concerning Rights.
Vankleek Hill Review.
This reminds us of a story of an old
highlander who traveled manj miles to
see one of the famous British battle
ships. He found it at the dock and at
once boarded it aud began to inspect it.
This finished he assed to see the ad
miral. He was told the admiral wa3
engaged. He replied, “Tell the admiral
I want to see him.”
His desires were about to be gratified
and the highlander was asked, “Who
shall we tell the admiral desires to see
him?”
He straightened himself up aud drew
a long breath—“ Tell him one of the
owners is on board.”
If we, as citizens of Canada, had
mere of that spirit and gave our gov
ernments to distinctly understand that
we are the owners we would get better
value for our millions spent.
One of the c enate doorkeepers station
ed in the lobby next to the marble room
had just warned a visitor not to puff
the cigar which he carried in hand. At
that moment the electric bells sounded
a call for a vote and Senator Lodge has
tened in from a nearby committee room.
He was puffing violently at a long black
cigar.
“Why don’t you warn that man?”
asked the visitor.
“Because I know my business,” re
plied the custodian of the door. “That
is the man who made the rule.” —Chi-
ca Journal.
BRAVE MEN FALL
Victims to stomach, liver and kidney
troubles as well as women, feel
the results in loss of appetite, poisons iu
the blood, backache, nervousness, head
ache and tired, listless, ruu-down feel
ing. But there’s no need to feel like
that. Listen to J. W. Gardner, Idaviile
lud. He says: “Electric Bitters are
just the thing for a man when he is al
run down, and don’t care whether he
lives or dies. It did more to give me
new strength and good appetite than
anything I could take. I can now eat
anything and have anew lease ou life.”

M. BRENER & BRO.,
Gra-
National Platform.
The People’s Party of the United
States, assembled iu national conven
tion this tenth day of May, 1600, affirm
ing onr unshokon belief in the cardinal
tenets oj the People’s Party, as setforth
in Omaha platform, and pledging our
selves anew to continued advocacy of
those grand principles of human liberty
until right shall triumph over might
and love over greed, do adopt and pro
claim this declaration of faith:
First —We demand the initiative and
referendum aud the imperative man
date for su h changes of existing fun
damental aud statute law as will ena
ab'e the people in their sovereign ca
pacity to propose aud compel the enact
ment of such laws as they desire; to re
ject such as they deem injurious to their
interests and to recall unfaithful public
servants.
Second—We demand the public own
ership aud operation of those means of
communication, transportation and pro
duction which the people may elect,
such as railroads, telegraph aud tele
phone lines, coal mines, etc.
Third —The land, including all natur
all sources of wealth, is heritage of the
people, and should not be monopolized
for speculative purposes, and alien own
ership of land should be prohibited. All
land now held by railroads and other
corporations in excess of their actual
needs, aud all lauds now owned by
aliens should be reclaimed by the Gov
ernment and held for actual settlers
only.
Fourth —A scientific and absolute pa
per money, based upon the entire
wealth and population of the nation not
redeemable iu any specific commodity,
but made a full legal tender for all debts
and receivable for all taxes and public
dues and issued by the Government
only without the intervention of banks,
and in sufficient quantity to meet the
demand of commerce, is the best cur
rency that can be devised; but until
such a financial system is secured,
which we shall press for adoption, we
favor the free and unlimited coinage of
both silver and gold at the legal ratio of
16 to 1.
Fifth—We demand the levy and col
lection of a graduated tax on incomes
and inheritances and a constitutional
amendment to secure the same, if nec
essary.
Sixth—We demand the election of
President, Vice President, Federal
judges and United States senators by
direct vote of the people.
Seventh—We are opposed to trusts
and declare the c mtention between the
old parties on the monopoly question is
a sham battle and that no solution of
this mighty problem is possible without
the adoption of the prinoiples of publio
ownership of pubi c utilities.
