A KNOCKFR.S PLATFORM. He is running for ordinary of Oconee county, just over the way, and his platform would indicate that he is the president of the anvil ehours of that section. Ift re it is: “I propose to run the office and duties thereof to suit myself and not the public at large. “I propose t/x grant to all old maids and bachelors marriage license free. ‘‘l propose to work the roads when ever they cannot be traveled with out being worked, provided it is too wet for the plows to run in my own crop. “I propose to give my intimate friends all the county work I can and pay them a good price for same, provided they give me a rake-off on same. “I propose to send all political fools to the asylum; that is, those I cannot get in the chaingang.” County politics is warming up to some extent.

Has* Howell a quiet tip that Watson in tends to crawl into the democratic band wagon before they close the doors, or is the wily Torn working Clark? 1 It was to Ik 1 expected that some “dern fool" would announce for govorner of Georgia in opposition to Joseph M.

Forty-three years ago a bleeding army laid down its weapons at Ap pomattox. 'To shattered homes the remnant of Loe’s forces returned. Anew era had dawned upon them. A system of slavery and feudalism that had been their cherished lot was obliterated. With what courage these men met their eufoieed conditions the world now knows cherishingly well. They began tilling fields. When the sun had set, left to melancholic re flections, they lVmcmbered th( dead. But when lighfjeame next morning they turned to the living. Manassas, Fredericksburg, Chaneel lorsville, Seven Pines, the Bloody Angh —all of these were forgotten. The knew that neithei memories nor tears could dig a ditch nr seed a for row. The South of to-day is material ly different from the South of an te-bellum times. Instead of an aristocracy there exists a common brotherhood amoung all Anglo Sax ons, whether from Vermont or South Carolina. From her moun tains she lias extracted rock and marble into which the artisan has moulded monuments of commercial greatness. Valleys yel low with broom sedge and farms run riot with grass have been con verted into gardens. Great canyons have been made into cities by brick and mortar. Wealth lias succeeded poverty, industry has pushed aside idleness. To those veterans parading in the hot sun of Alabama yesterday, at Birmingham, the remnants of the gallant and chivalrous army that challenged Grant and Sherman and Thomas and Hooker and all the other leaders of the North, every former soldier who defended the Hag, and every citizen supporting them, wishes that their dreams of the hallowed past may he tender and without iegret; their stories as told around camp fires mellow and without malevolence; their recol lection devoid of darkness, the light of peace, the star of hope ever before each and every one of them. Pointed Paragraphs. (Chicago News. The man who talks like -n hook may be accused of plagiarism. Many a man who walks to his work slowly would gladly run for office. Some men try to dodge the issue when they find what they are look ing for. It's so much easier to pay for forgiveness than to tight against temptation. Bluebeard’s wives are not the only women wh<T have lost their heads on account of an unworthy man. A woman can't help bragging about how many suits of clothes her husband has, especially if it’s only one. FOR CHAIRMAN Of Commissioners of Roads and Revenues. I am in favor of keeping the hooks of the hoard of roads and revenues that the money received by the board shall be so entered that the book will clearly show from which •militia district of the county the money was received. Furthermore, I favor the plan of spending all monies (except so much as may be needed to pay running expenses) in the dis trict where the money is collected. In other words, I believe each dis trict should have its money spent in that district where the money is raised as taxes. I also faver money and labor being on a parity, that is four or six days, or four or six dollars commutation tax. 1 further favor keeping up the present roads and bridges better and grading and going around the hills as fast as we can. 1 favor all our present roads being surveyed, classed and reg istered as early as practicable. I am opposed to one man rule, also to further experimenting with the county engine on the present roads, as the cost of running too far ex ceeds the good derived from it. I am opposed to chaingang, but if it is the choice of the people to keep them, and being a practical road builder, will endeavor to better the present management, Respectful ly. 11. C. Baknett.
