Don’t forget to register before Sep
tember 12th.
Keep 000 l and say nothing that you
will regret after the election.
Register before the 12th of September
•a after that time it will be too late.
If you have not registered you will
have to go to Jefferson now to attend to
this important matter.
Every man should beman enough to
vote as a free man and not sell liis vote
for a mess of pottage.
Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
were big days for Winder and there
were thousands of people here.
We hope there will be no bitterness
engendered in tnls campaign. Let
every man be allowed to vote as he
pleases.
Every man has a perfeot right to vote
as he pleases, but we don’t think that
businass men of a town ought to close
up their stores on the day of eleotion to
work agaiust men who help to keep up
their business and patronize them.
They ought not to expeot these men to
trade with them and sell them their
cottou when they dose their stores and
work against them all day.
Winder, up in Jaokson county, is be
coming aregnlar stem winder in rapid
prograss. From a dead village, six
months ago, they now have a cotton
mill, a knitting mill, a foundry and ma
chine shop under construction, the peo
ple enthused, and are going to have a
three day’s carnival and street fair
the last of this month.—Madison Adver
tiser.
The Carnival.
The Carnival which closes here today
has been one of the grandest attractions
ever seen in this seotion, and daring
the three days it has been in progress
over 10,000 persons have visited Win
der. A great deal af energy was given
to the enterprise by all of our citizens,
and in connection with Mr. Redan, of
Pinebluff, N. C., the general manager,
every thing was done to make the Car
nival a great saccess. This will be
worth a great deal to Winder and this
section and has advertised ns more than
any other one thing could have done.
Many hare been here daring the week
who never saw oar beautiful little city
before and no one was ever known to
come here and not form a favorable im
pression. The way to make a oity is to
advertise it and keep it before the peo
pla The carnival has done much for
os in this way and we ought to feel
proud of it and appreciate the efforts of
the S, A. L. R. R. for giving ns snch an
opportunity to show onr many advanta
ges. Winder should arrange to have
something on this line every year. Let
us keep pushing and advertising onr
oity and seotion and in a few years we
will nave a Winder of 10,000 inhabi
tants and the prettiest city in Georgia
The Reformer.
Reform Press.
As we oast an eye backward over the
history of the ages, and view the seas
of blood through which the reformer
has passed; the gibbet, the rack, the
stake, and devouring flames, and such
torture as only demons could devise, it
seems bat proof positive that man is a
creature of circumstances, and himself
to a greater or less extent the creator
thereof.
The conservatism of man seems to
have no limit. The tenacity with
which he clings to old customs: no
bounds, cansing him to oppose all prog
ress that tends to better circumstances.
Whenever the human intellect has ad
vanced sufficiently to discover that his
surrounding conditions are not what
they should be; he starts out for new
fiields, to be met with opposition on all
sides.
The reformer’s pathway has ever
been a thorny one. Ho has always
been a rebel against fixed customs —
which are laws in the absence of law —
a heretic in the church, aud an outcast
from society. He has opposed unjust
laws and customs, whether established
by church or state. To denounce the
ciystaliz ffi d creeds of men, and to shat
ter their idolr has been the unceasing
work of his hand.
Terrible indeed has been his suffer
ing from the vengeance of established
power, which rests severely in its ease
in the possession of the best that the
earth affords. And so these conserva
tive wrecks in human form cling to
old ideas long s.nce outgrswn by the
onward march of human intellect and
the neoessities of the community.
Lillie D. White said: “To follow the
reformer on his arduous aud lonely
journey, mad be at the cost of ease
and comfort, home and friends, respect
ability and popularity.” Few accept
or choose the rugged pathway. Few
er still possess the courage aud strength
to follow it to the end. To the reform
er it is the voice of truth which says:
“Unless ye forsake all aud follow me,
ye are not worthy to be my disciple.
How many times the would-be Chirs
tian who claims to obey the author of
these words is the worst aud most cruel
enemy of the reformer.
What would you think of an Indiana
farmer who would flail oat nis wheat
crop, after having reaped it with an old
reaping hook? You would rightly deem
him an idot or worse. What do you
think of yourself when you consider
that yon use a monetary system that
antedates the old reap hook? Oh! you
ridiculous idiot 1 Just because a well*
dressed, well-fed banker, who gets rioh
by your idiocy, tells you you must have
the value of the dollar in the material
of whioh it is made, you go with your
old, idotio, reap hook, bimetallic or
monomettalio money. Say if we were
some people we would borrow the ears
of a mule’s father and wear them to show
what kind of an animal we were.—The
Popnlist Journal.
The One Day Cold Curs.
Cold in head and sore throat cured by Ker*
mott's Chocolates Laxative Quinine. As easy to
take aa candy, “Childrencry for them."
Stupidity.
“Men are but children of larger
growth.” That is shown in the way
they have flopped back and forth be
tween the two old parties. Disgusted
with one they have eleoted the other;
disgusted with the other they hare elect
ed the one; and have done it for the last
generation, seemingly too childish to
learn anything even by experience.
Not only in national bat in state and
local affairs they hare repeated the same
■illy action. In Kansas City they have
been writhing nnder extortion of the
telephone monopoly using their streets.
To esoape that monopoly there has aris
en a strong movement to hare another
company granted afranohise to use their
streets and "compete” with the Bell
octopus! And that, too, when they per
formed the same fool thing about the
gas monopoly only to see both compan
ies go together! They seem to have no
more sense than a last year’s bird’s nest.
It never seems to oocurfto them that the
way to get rid of corporate extortion is
to build and operate a telephone line
themselves, using the city government
us the means. There could be no extor
tion of themselves by themselves. To
give another company a franchise would
be more than folly. The fools believe
they would be freer with two tyrants
than one! But they must have a ty
rant over them! They are afraid to
trust the boodlers whom they insist on
electing to control the oity. The Bell
monopoly has sent their hired tools and
had short interviews with all the
“prominent” men in the city—bankers,
corporation attorneys, owners of other
monopolies and trust stockholders. Of
course they are all satisfied with the
Bell monopoly. They can afford to pay
the tolls because they get their money
from profits off the people and must de
fend each other. These interviews oc
cupy five columns of the World. And
yet the children of larger growth are so
silly they cannot see their way out.
Sock it to them, Mr. Monopoly. They
have not enough sense to even learn the
remedy—owning the business them
selves. Yon are dead safe in squeezing
the dollars out of them. Whoop-la!—
Appeal to Reason.
Whither are We Drifting?
The appeal to reason publishes the
following which should be well ponder*
ed. Whither are we drifting?
The Mutal Life Insurance Company
boasts that it has means sufficient at its
oommand to put a fleet of 60 battle ships
of the first class on the ocean and could
sweep from the seas every fleet that
floats and lay tribute or distroy every
seaport on the globe! That it could
place an army of 600,000 men in the field
and maintain them one year; that it
oould build a railroad half way around
the earth; that it could build the Nicar
ugua canal and buy enough laud around
it to start anew nation as large as New
York; that it could bay at $1.52 an acre
as much land as 143 states the size of
Rhode Island. Here is a corporation
greater than the government, and when
a others like it are created you will
see the sham of hypooricy torn off and
the oligarchy openly proclaim itself
master, as it really is today. We have
no longer a republic, except in name
Fools in Rome believed they had a re
public long after it was lo.lt, because the
same forms were being gone throught.
There is coming a hot old time in the
next few years. If such corporations
as the Mutal and the Standard Oil com
panies can hire enough people to keep
the others cowed down they will hold
the fort, otherwise their names will be
denuis with a little and. The stronger the
king the weaker or less powerful the
people. When the people are strong the
king is weak in temporal power. The
United States is nearing the line when
it will be a struggle to the death between
the corporation and the people, The
people will win. That is the line of hu
man progress and evolution. A little
more concenteration, a little more
squeezing out of the little merchants
and factories, a little more show of com
tempt for common people and the laws,
and the dock will strike the hour that
tells that the New Order has been born,
it may be in muoh pain and anguish but
it will be safely placed in the hands of
the common people who will rear .t to
maturity.
