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.
