A Pleasant Christmas.
We wish for our roaders a pleasant
Christmas and hope yoa are all in more
favorable circumstances for
next week than yon have been for several
Christmases past. Most of our readers
are farmers and producers of all wealth;
end as a class yon have hadmhny things
to discourage yon for several years
Your money crop, cotton, has been sell
ing for a number of years bjlow the
cost of production and it has been hard
to come ont even at the end of each
year Yon have been hard pressed and
discouraged and coaid see little in tho
future to make it bright. This season,
your cotton crop has brought you better
prees and most of yon have beeu made
to rejoice. tVe rejoice with you for we
sincerely believe that if there is any
clas of people who ought to prosper,
who ought to make more than a hard
living, it is the class that produces the
wealth —the class that labors and toils
ou the farms. It has b-'ou the dream
of our life that the burdens of govern
ment should be more equally distributed t
und that a party shculd spring into ex
istaace that would enlist every lover of
liberty and every man who makes his
living by the sweat of his brow. We
must confess that our ideal has been
somewhat shattered by the sad fact
that the very men who sh’ould stand
firm and true to oue advocating so just
a cause, seem not to realize its import
ance, and often oppose the princi
ples lhat alone will make them free and
independent. This naturally brings
sadness to any sine re advooate of a
g#?nd and righteous movement that
has for its object the Vsttarmeut of hu
manity and the realization of equal
r ,hts to all men and special priviles to
none.
We wish that men had more firmness
aud true mauhood and could lay aside
party spirit, prejudice aud ignorauoe
aud think and act as real men ought to
act. We wish that all meu could see
tilings os they really are, could act as
men ought to act, could lay aside sel
fishness aud greed and personr L interests
ior the good of humanity at large. We
have indulged the hope for years that
men would finally become broad enough,
manly enough and Christlike enough to
rise above all the hiudrauces to a broad,
er, uobler aud higher life, Whether
this will ever be, we are not prepared
to express an intelligent opinion at the
present time.
We hope, however, for its realization
and are still williug to work and labor
on tins line. We are aware, from ex
perience, that there is little appreciation
shown those who battle for the weak,
the oppressed and those who bear the
hardens. The man who fights for a
crown, who is controlled b/ selfish mo
tives, is the man who gets the honors
at the present time; bat things will
some day change, and the world will
yet recognize justice and right, and
trnth will finally prevail.
May the time not be far distant when
the change will come and when equal
opportunities will be given all men iu
the struggle for existence.
In conclusion, we again wish all The
Economist’s readers a happy Christmas
and a prosperous New Year.
The different reform elements ought
to get together and make a solid front.
Thos. E Watson’s Tribute
The eloqaent tribute to H. W. Reed
by Mr. Thos. E. Watson is fall of devo
tion to a dead fri nd who was always
true. Mr. Reed was the member of the
National Executive Coinmitte for Geor
gia for several yoars of the Peoples par
ty and one of Mr. Wa'son’s closest po
litical associates iu the campaign of
18915 He died recently at San Minguel,
Mexico, where he has been several years
developing some large enterprises
We quote the following paragraph
from Mr Watson’s tribute of him, be
cause of its beauty and because it shows
the lofty ambition that prompted Mr.
Reed in espousing the cause of Popu
lism:
“1 know that he loved truth and right
aud honor; that ha detested what was
bise. I know that his ambition was
lofty, his methods clean, his integrity
spotless. I know that he loved his fel
lowman, felt fo- the poor, abhorred
abuses aud longed for better laws, cus
toms, systems. 1 know that he was
self reliant, resonreeful, a thinker who
dard to challenge authority, a pioneer
to whom the past was not a lord aud
master. I know that he would have
given his life to better the world, to
free the oppressed, to heal the wounds
and hush the moans of suffering hu
manity.”
The Atlanta Journal says that Mr.
Bryan is the great obstacle in the way
of the "rehabilitation of the Democrat
ic party” as advised by Mr. Cleveland
aud approved by the gold standard de
mocrats.
Mr. Cleveland has spoken aud Mr.
Bryan has spoken. Democrats can uow
take their choice as to which wing of
their party they will "jine.”
City Taxes.
The present admistration has done
one good thing for Winder. Although
it has made many improvements it has
r ductd taxes way below what they
were last year.
This is one item that every man is
interested in. This administration can
also feel proud of the fact that the city
has made more rapid growth this year
than ever before in its history. We say
the above simply in justice to the men
who made up the present administra
tion and because wo feel it is due their.
Killing at Statham.
Mr. John H Sikes shot Mr. Lery Har
vil, at Statham last Saturday afternoon,
killing him instantly, The reports con
cerning the difficulty and shooting are
very conflicting aid it is a very difficult
matter to get at the real facts until the
commitment trial, which comes off to
morrow, Friday. Mr. Sikes’ friends say
they will be able to prove beyond doubt
that he killed Mr. Harvil in self defence.
.Found at Statham.
• .
Constable Joe Holliday, of Statham,
brought Bud Flauigau here last Friday
under arrest and boarded the train wiih
him en route to the DeKaib county jail
at Deoatur. A warrant had been sent
from that county for Bud’s arrest,
charging him with running a blockade
still there last year.
Boy Kills His Cousin.
Lim Jackson, colored, and his cousin,
Dave Jackson, colored, both of whom
lived in Winder, were at work last
Thursday euttiag wood. They had
been iu a playing mood it seems all day,
devoting more time to boxiug than to
work. In the afternoon they began
fencing with heavy sticks, and while
en f?aged in this sport, Dave happened
to hit his cousin Lem a rather heavy
blow on the head, crashing the skull
and causing his death a few hoars later.
A Big Christmas Present.
The biggest and most valuable Christ
mas present reoeiyed so far is the fine
boy bom to Mr. and Mrs. B J. Presley,
weighing FIFTEEN pounds in his shirt
sleeves. Draw JUaniel and Ross feel
much interest in the future growth aud
development of this young mau as they
were present when he was presented to
his father and mother and participated
in the ceremonies.
