Yes, you are prosperous, perhaps you may have plenty to eat and plenty to wear, aud even some of the luxuries of life. But have you as much of theoom fortg of life as you ought to have. If one half of the people, or one third the people are getting twice or three times as much of the luxuries of life as you do, and at the same time do not preform one half the labor to create lux uries that you do. is it not dear that there is something wrong somewhere If we had an honest system of gov ernment, the men who toil to oreste wealth would be the men who would enjoy that wealth when it was created. Under the present system one half en joys it. If you are satisfied with that kind of prosperity just continue to vote for the two old parties and you will con tinue to enjoy that kind.

BRIDGES ACCEPTS I Writes an Interesting Letter of Acceptance Which We Publish in Full. Bethlehem, Ga, August 24, 1900. Messrs. Joe L. Mobley, Jna M. Tuck er and J- N. Dickenson. Members of Notification Committee. Gentlemen:—Your’s notifying me of my nomination for representative by the People’s Party Convention of Wal ton county to hand. In reply will ask you to excuse unavoidable delay. Also I prefer you had accepted my statement that I am not seeking political honors, as my em ironnrents are sach that I fear I cannot fally conform to yoar request. But since life is an arena in which toil and sacrifice are the common lot of those who advocate a reformation of the affairs of government, aud while 1 sin cerely wish this trust had fallen on one more worthy to bear it, oue more able to represent aud defend the noble cause you espouse; and one who coaid lead the party to a more brilliant viotory than is provable for me, I accept. Mach of the happiness and prosperity of this and fatare generations depends largely upon the actions of our representatives of the state and nation. We believe our demauds worthy of consideration by those vested with a ballot, for the organization was born in the midst of a nation fast becoming homeless, for in our beloved state pro vided with unbounded natural resourc es, with its pleasant seasons as they come and go, where the beautiful rays of sunshine are continually being shed upon the earth, inviting out the various kinds of vegetation three fourths of the people have no place to call home. Here where the products of the earth are mouldering in heaps for the want of a sufficient medium of ex change. Yours is the party that promises an equal opportunity before the law to those who make an effort, and a reward for the willing hand. Yours is an organization, that would style a government of, for and by the people; for we believe in referring any important measure back to the people before it beoomes a law, thereby clear ing the statute books of caucus made laws. And as the state contributes largely to educational interest we think it should publish school books and snp ply them at cost saving the people of the state one or more million dollars annually. By so doing thousands of children who are now deprived of an education on account of their parents not being able to bay books coaid re ceive their prorata of the funds. Do not fancy this paternalism when it is said thut the Federal government stores liqu ors free of charge for 5 years and only taxes what remains after 5 years of leak age and evaporation. We would not stay the ship of progress in any philanthropic endeavor, or turn backward any enterprise looking to the good of the community or common wealth. But it seems that the affairs of the government oould be administer ed in a somewhat more economical way. For instance, it is said that the rail road running from Washington City to New Orleans gets five thousands dollars annually for the car that carries mail, also receives so much extra per pound for carrying the mail; when it is esti mated that the oost of the cars is only four thousand dollars each, a tribute of one thousands dollars over and above cost every year. We also find the tax rate of Georgia Increasing over 200 per oent. during the last 15 years, as the levying at beginning of the period was $750,000, and now it stands at the enor mously high sum of $2 543,980. This is the faoe of the faot that the valuation of taxable property has increased sever al million dollars, while the price of prodace has decreased upon an average of 100 per oent. Cotton the great mon ey crop falling from 12 to 15 cents to 5 and 6 oents, and in some instances less, regardless of drouths or floods. An ad justment of this and other things just as important will contribute largely <o the suocess and happiness of the people of this, the grandest state in the anion. Thanking you for your confi dence bestowed, I remain yours sin oerely- Peace on earth, good will to men J. J. Bridges. ATHENS TO HAVE A BICJARNIVAL Mr. Harry Hodgson Speaks of The Event.
