But don't you worry, Udievers; No matter what it brings, They’ll all come hack to help ns With our primaries in tin spring. “WHAT DOTS IT MEAN.” Commenting on an after-the primary squih in this paper, in which it was stated that some of the county nominees are likely to have opposition at the October (‘lec tions, The Commerce News declares its loyalty to the nominees in un mistakable terms, but seems to misconstrue the motives of this ed itor. By referring to us personally, to the fact that we are a member of the county executive committee and to “sides of the county '' there is a veiled intimation .that we are tak ing cold feet on the nominees. The editor of this paper lias been a democrat from the cradle, and never voted any othei ticket, unless his participation in tlu* recent white folks'' primary may be so dCtoistrued. We are now clinging -as close to democracy as we can get, and wish it distinctly understood that we will support Bryan for president, Brown for governor and the nominees of the “white folks” primary from representatives to ■coroner without scratching a single f man" l\>imueuting upon the early | closing of rntraiiCC to tin* primary, tbe Commerce paper says: ‘‘While nearly every county in the start held its primary on the 4th of June, Jackson by authority of its committee, kept the doors open and bars down until June oth, so that any man in the county might have ample time to enter the race for any office in the county. There were no restrictions, no per sonal favors, no -discriminations. Any man in the county had a right to run for office. One man lmd just, as much right as another. Kvery man in the. county was places! on equal footing. The primary was hold the last ot July, so ghat every man would have an opportunity to vote. After all this, it seems there are, those who are dissatisfied, that there are those whose greed for of fice provokes them to ignore the customs and usage of the party to which they belong; those who, after having participated in a pri mary, now want to bolt and disrupt the party and its traditions, to gratify a self constituted call to the service of their country. We don't believe that there is any likelihood of opposition. The intimation above is the first that we have heard- No such feeling ex ists here. No candidate who may run, no matter who he is, nor where he lives, will receive support on this side of the bounty.” It may lie true that the dove of political peace is hovering over Commerce, hut we have run across men in the county who contend that the voter- are not so slow that it takes them sixty days in which to make up their minds for whom to vote after the doors to a primary are closed. Fact is, they contend that the governor’s race over shadowed everything in Jaeksop until June 4th and under the shadow of the smoke of that battle the doors to tin- county primary were slammed and bolted and the long race to July hist liegun. They don’t seem to understand why the voter should lx* given so much time to make up his miinl and the pros pootive candidate was compelled to get such an aHi red move on him self. We are liberal enough to admit that there is reason in this conten tion, but the dissatisfied ones should have called upon the executive com mittee to extend the time for en trance and notgolxhind the county primary to oppose the nominees, neither should men who were per mitted to participate in this “dem ocratic” primary refuse to support the national ticket. No “intimation of opposition” to the democratic nominees, when Tom Watson is stumping the state of Georgia, bidding for her electoral vote? Had you heard about Yancey (farter, John, and the banner un der which he was marching when he first came into prominence in Georgia? Our brother is an op timist indeed if he does not sit up and take notice when SOO voters of this county march up to the polls with blue pencils up their sleeves. “No such feeling exists here; no dissatisfaction on this side of the county.” Still Hardman and Hol der, jnen who for twelve years have been in the forefront of democracy’s battles in Jackson county, ran more than 800 votes behind the ticket in this “white folks” primary, and if our memory serves us correctly the blue pencil was used liberally at Commerce. But your ear to the ground, Brother Shannon, and then ask what it means. "Disrupting the party. Breaking away from traditions!" What party? What traditions? We can conceive oi no worse democratic condition than for every fourth man participating in this “white folks" primary to scratch the true and tried exponents of democracy who had no opposition, and men on the so called dcmoc.atic executive com mittee, both state and county, who will, in all probability, cast their ballots for Tom Watson- Does The News believe tin* o, 200 voters who participated in the recent pri- mary will vote for Bryan and the full list of state and county nominees? If they are democrats they should. We join in the protest against men who dub themselves county democrats, prohibitionists, national populists, independents and repub licans taking charge of the courtly primaries in the name of democracy only to bolt at the general elections. However, we are a member in good standing of this “white folks” party in Jackson and will be found par ticipating in its primaries and sup porting its nominees until some thing more democratic makes its appearance. Yes, “we have it on good au thority'’ that Hardman and Holder are likelv to be opposed >y an in deperillent candidate who is not a citizen of Winder. We don’t deny that The Com merce News hasn’t had any inti mation of the matter, but it must be remembered that neither that paper nor the Jackson Herald j seems to have “had any intubation” | last week that an extra session of the legislature had been calfed, hut we heard it “on good authority.” Joe Brown has predicted the elec tion of WiTffirm Jennings Bryan. Len G. Broughton says Tie will make war on near-lieer in Georgia on his return to Atlanta. Yancey Carter, the Independence candidate fur Governor, has chal lenged Joe BroAvn for joint debate. Lend him your pig story, Hoke. Governor Smith has approved the annual pension hill and siext year the full pensions will be paid during the first three months of the year. The other side of the cruelties at the Georgia convict camps are now coming to light and it is be ing shown that a great deal of sym pathy has been wasted upon the most desperate of criminals. The race war at Springfield, 111., the home of Abraham Lincoln, is still on. After having burned the homes of many negroes, the frenzied mob cursed the war president and attempted to apply the torch to the residence in which he had liyed. The trouble has reached the mining districts of Illinois, and tho whites have refused to work with negroes. With the Paragraphers.
