The Demcratic Doctrine,
I'roiu I lie National Democratic Plat*
form Adopted At C hicago June
22nd, 1892,
“We denounce the A’epublican legisla
tion known as the Sherman act of 1890 as
a cowardly makeshift, fraught with possi
bilities of danger in the future which
should make all of its supporters, as well
as its author anxious for its speedy repeal.
We hold to the use of both goth gold and
silver as the standard money of the coun
tiy, and to the coinage of both gold and
silver without discriminationg against ei
ther metal or charge for mintage, hut the
dollar unit of coinage of both metals must
he equal intrinsic and exchangeable value,
or he adjusted through international agree*
ment or by such safeguards of legislation
as shall insure the maintenance of the pari
ty of the two metals and the equal power
of every dollar at all times in the market
and in the payment of debts; and we de
mand that all paper currency shall he kept
at par with and redeemable : n such coin.
We insist upon this as especially necessary
for the protection of the farmers and la
boring classes, the first and most defense
less victims of unstable money and a fluc
tuating currency.
WATSON’S DAY.
Watson’s day in Butts has come,
and, alas! is gone. Many were
very much disappointed, some be
cause they had overestimated him,
and others because they 1 a 1 under
rated him. The tiuth i t “it was
about like we expected, v as the old
woman said when she saw the rock
was not gone that she prayed might
be moved. Tommy abused every
body and everything, but did not
say what should be dot e, for the
simple reason he didn't know.
However, he is better than some of
the gang that follow him around at
fifty dollars per month. One
“McGreggor” proceeded to preju
dice the people against him betore
he came by stating that The Argus
had lied in a statemeut he read in
its columns, and then went on to
proye the truth ot our remarks by
sending out a committee to get sub
scribers. If Tom wants to be a
ruler, he had better keep that Mc>
Greggor behind instead of in front.
What was worse, though, was this :
McGreggor asked about the circula
tion of The Argus, and Mr. W. F.
Smith, who has heretofore been re
garded as a man of truth and
veracity, gave two thirds of the
circulation, and we noticed it didn’t
choke him. But McGreggor said
Tom was giving him (McGreggor)
fifty dollars per month and ex
penses, and he had twenty plows at
home. A man sitting near us said,
“I doubt if he's worth fifty cents a
month at home/' We don’t know
about that, hut he is worth abso
lutely nothing to Tom as a fore
runner; he might do as a ‘'hind-,
runner.”
There were about three thousand
peop’e present-seven hundred Pop
ulists from Butts. Jasper, Monroe,
Spalding and Henry counties, three
hundred negroes and about two
thousand Democrats, who behaved
nicely and could but win the esteem
of gentlemen in the Populist crowd.
There was one man hurrahed for
Cleveland, who we learn was a Pop
ulist hired cr requested to do so, in
order to draw Tommy out and give
him a shadow of excuse for abusing
a man in his absence.
A WAR STORY.
, [(by a butts county soldier.)
CHAPTER I
1 enlisted in thy first company
that Uft Butts county, Georgia, ana
went to Atlanta, where the bixth
Georgia division was organized.
Ae went liom there to Richmond,
\a. W e did not go into camps,
out were marched to the Amencan
Hotel, where we were treated like
gentlemen. We remained there a
short time and then went into
the camps. In a few days we were
ordered to Yorktown to join Mc-
Gruder,but before leaving Richmond
the boys got a supply of “red eye.”
We left Richmond in the night
went down on Richmond & West
point railroad and reached West
point at sunrise the next morning.
As usual, alter partaking of “red
eye*’ freely all night the boyß want
ed water, and as the river >vas near
by it was amusing to see the boys
racing to see who would get the first
drink, and was still more amusing
to ste at least five hundred men
with their index finger inserted
town their throats trying to vomit,
is it was the first salt water they
had ever seen. It did not have the
iesired etlecl. But soon we were
aboard “Old Logan. ” the stamboat,
gliding swiftly down tbe river in the
direction of Potomac and the Yan
kee gunboats. We landed at York
town in due tune and there we went
into camps, and then we spent, a
tew day s in sight seeing, visiting
Oormvellis ’ Corps and places of in
terest ; but we soon commenced the
regular rotation of a soldier’s life.
It would make my lettter too long
to even give a sketch ol all that is
fresh in my mind ; but in a short
time after several false alarms, we
received orders to be ready to march
at a minute's warning, and this
time it was not a false alarm, tor
the Y ankees had landed and we were
marched to Yorktown, but old Mac
and his little band met them at
Bethel churcn and gave them a
nice thrashing, sending them back
to their gunboats wiser, if not better
men. While on this trip some of
the boys stole an old gander and
went to the chaplain whiie he was
asleep and picked it, and in the
morning someone hollered out,
who stole the gander?’ The answer
came from all over the camps. “The
preacher ! v
Soon after this we returned to our
old camps at \orktown, where we
had a fine time. We drew plenty
of meat, flour, sugar, coffee, rice,
fish and oysters were plentiful and
very cheap.
I stayed in camps six months, was
taken sick and got a discharge and
returned to my home in Georgia.

ENJOYING VACATION.
Continued from Last Week ]
Just at sunset we stood on a huge
rock on the very summit of Kenne
saw and drank in the glorious beauty
of ihe scene. Far away in the dis
tance could he seen the Blue Ridge
and Pine mountains on one side and
at aiuthcr point Mount Allatoona,
from which Sherman signa’ed, “Hold
the fort, for I am coming,” during tire
war. We saw the breastworks ex
tending all across the mountain, be
hind which our soldiers fought, and
the exact spot where the cannon
stood was pointed out to u*. One of
the party told us this superstition con
nected with the mountain, that at
certain times the roar of the cannon,
the whistling of balls, and the groans
cf the wounded could be heard even
now, but our imagination was not
sufficiently vivid to distinguish any
of these sounds on this particular
occasion.
With a telescope which we had earned,
we had a splendid view of J/arietta far
below us from differeut points during our
upward journey.
Stone mountain and Lost mountain were
plainly visible, and with the valleys and
green fields between, made a truly heauti
ful picture. We watched the sun, a great
ball of fire, as it seemed to sink slowly
behind the mountain, and with reluctance
we began the descent, pausing on the way
to gather souvenirs of our trip, and the
whole party made the mountain ring with
merry songs.
A few days afterwards a party of us,
seventeen in number, rode out to the
paper mills, about ten miles out from
Marietta, where we saw paper in
all its different stages. We could hardly
believe it possible to mal& paper of pine
wood until w T e saw it ground into pulp
and combined with other paper-making
matei ials, rags, etc. There was the rough
brown paper and paper of different thick
ness and of different colors, then the
paper upon which the .Atlanta Journal is
printed, also many other newspapers in
the State, and the composition is one
third of pine.
We had supper on the hanas of the
river in a very picturesque spot, lighted
only by the raj r s of the moon, and after
wards some of us who were more ven
tures* me wandered out on the shoals to
enjoy the view far down the liver (and to
throw rocks at those on the banks.)
The homeward ride by moonlight was
very enjoyable, singing and eatiacr water
melon forming part of the program.
The marble works at Marietta are very
interesting, the largest in the United
States.
We visited the National Cemeteiy too.
where are buried ten thousand Federal
soldiers. It is beautifully kept, the graves
are all sodded, there are ivy-grown trees
overshadowing picturesque lakes, then
there is a summer*house completely cov
ered with ivy and wisteria, there are rus
tic seats everywhere aloeg the winding
drives, and there is a plain marble slab
at the head of each grave, a marble
block containing the number of those
whose names are unknown.
2here are so many places of iuteiest
around Marietta, and I am sure we could
not have spent a week more delightfully
anywhere.
From il/arietta we came to Decatur to
visit friends. There are six young ladies
in the house, two from Augusta, and in
gayeties the week is passing rapidly.
Wednesday night we went out to East
Lake, Thursday night to a cream festi
val, and on Friday night we were given a
complimentary musicale by a gentleman
and lady whom we had met in Decatur.
All the musical talent of the place was
present, and we were highly entertained.
Agnes Institute is of interest to
visitors, and the cool shaded street called
Candler street has some beautiful resi
dences, and is one of the prettiest streets
in town; in fact, Decatur, as a suberb of
Atlanta, does credit to the city. The
people are social, hospitable and cultured,
and enjoy all of Atlanta’s advantages.
Judge Jones, his wife and charming
daughters, understand fully the art of en
tertaining, and our visit to them grows
daily more pleasant.
We return to Barnesville this week to
spend the remainder of vacation at home.
With every good wish for Jackson and
her people. H. R.

GEORGIA BUSINESS COLLEGE,
Wyatt & Martin, Macon Ga
It is nee Hess to say !o our read
ers that our investigation of the
Business College we n> w review was
conducted upon the lines laid down
in the past. In this case as in all
others, no charges were made, no
gifts accepted, no advertisements
solicited. Tne only interests con
sulted have been those of our read
ers. who asked honest, unpreju
diced advice concerning the rela
tive merits ot the various commer
cial schools which seek the patron
age of the people. This informa
tion cannot be obtained through
college catalogues or paid write ups.
Devoid of all sucli features is the
lepori herewith given. We single
out and indorse this high grade ot
institution upon its own high merits
alone. We commend it unquali
fiedly to those who would discrimi
nate between a business college
which really ’fils its graduates for
the highest positions of trust, and
emphyyment in the business world ;
and tiie unbusiness like affairs
which almost cast discredit upon
the very name of “business col
lege ”
The establishment we now re
view stands out better and brighter
by reason ol the contrast, it offers in
superiority, genuine merit and trust
worthiness. It is ably conducted,
splendidly equipped, and by all
rights of supreme and inherent
worth takes front rank. Its facul
ty is above criticism.
For some past days, it has been the
subject of investigation by a trained
and trusted editoral correspondent
and as a result offsuch unbaised ex
amination,. we do not hesitate to sin
gle it out as an exemplar; arid to
heartily endorse it to every reader,
who desires the highest practical
education at thelowes possible cost.
Would there were far more such in
stitutions throughout the country
to-day. It occupies the same rela
tive position to the inferior business
