It i Spalding county's time to furnish
the next senator from tho 20th district,
and Colonel Walter Beeke, of Griffin, is
being highly spoken of for this most re
sponsible position.
Anew political party has been launch
ed on the troubulous seas of public sen
timent. II is called the Poor Man’s
party. It has its inception and concep
tion at Shelbyville, lad., the nestor of
political schemers. Under whose care
ful guidance the inoubation took place
no one seems able to divine, but certain
it Is the Poor Man’s party has flung its
gonfalon to the breeze defiantly, and is
eager for a fray. According to the ritual
and the tenets of the party no man who
is worth more than $1,500 ean be nomina
ted for an offioe. It is needless to state
that this party will have a large follow
ing among the country weekly publish
ers of Georgia, so we hereby announco
the Alien s edi tors in the race
for Anything in sight—mostly the $1,600,
which we haven’t.
Attorney General Olney today, in re
ply to a formal request, dated February
17th, sent to the secretary of the treas
ury an opinion in regard to the legal
status of silver certificates, in which he
holds as follows: “Silver certificates are
just what they purport to be on their
faces and by their terms—that is, they
attest the fact that the Uuited States has
oh deposit so many silver dollars which
will be paid to the holder upon the pre
sentation and surrender of such certifi
cates. If they can be regarded as money
at all, it is only because the United
States agrees to receive them ‘for cus
toms, taxes and all public dues,’ and
only to that extent and for those specif
ic purposes. In my opinion,” the attor
ney general adds, “they are not ‘lawful
money’ within the meaning of section 4 of
the aot of July 12, 1874, aud section 9 of
the act of July 12, 1892.
We haye a silyer dollor that some kind
friend sent us iu the settlement of a nine
dollar acoount we held against him, and
Olney is causing that lone dollar to
quake in our pockets. The only reason,
however, that any of this is money is
the one given by Mr. Olney above: That
the United States agrees to receive it
for customs taxes and all public dues.
If the administration is geing to repu
diate money it is time to repudiate th#
administration or the people will repu
diate the party they represent.
CITIZENS’ MEETING.
The citizens of Jackou met at the
court house on Tuesday night to me
morialize the council. Iu the main,
the talks were all conservative. The
members of the council present en
tered iutothe discussion as citizen*,
audit was evident that the hnding
thought in every man's mind was the
continued prosperity of our town.
There was some little, vet y little talk
of the cost of publishing the ordinan
ces, as though we could get a council
out of Jackson that would write the
laws of the town on a piece of browu
paper, aud keep them in the mayor’s
office, allowing everyone te guess
what they are. And there was some
of the same kind of gush about higher
salaries, as though Jackson could af
ford to keep cheap men in charge ot
her interests. We are glad that all
the ta<k was far, tar above the trivial
insignificant ideas above. The truth
is, the futui e of Jackson for ten years
and thousands of dollars in property,
are at stake iu the settlement of this
question. People from all over this
country know the issue aud high li
cense cannot prevail. Our country
friends need not be uneasy for the
council will not do anything
to injure this town. Thero is now no
discussion as to the amount of money
to be raised. There is so money
needed. The only question is how to
equalize the privilege of license tax.
It is, therefore, a questiou of expedi
ency, as to method only. We conld
see that night in every talk (hat the
right will prevail and that Jackson
will continue to lead in low prices, for
good goods aud highest prices for all
country produce
Au obedience to the simple laws of
hygene and the use of Ayer's Sarsapa
rilla will enable the most delicate man
or sickly woman to pass iu ease and
safety from the icy atmosphere of
February to the warm, moist days of
April. It is the best of spring medi
cines.

A BIG LAW SUIT.
On Saturday Mr. Elmo Andrews
brought suit against Mr. Winant for
75 cents in cash, or the recovery of a
cider keg, Judge J. 11. Ham officiat
ing. After all the testimony was in
Mr. Ilaru asked that he have time for
reflection staling that swing to the

the matter two hours, but would fin

THE SPEAKING.
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, our next gover
nor, was met at the Hotel Cleveland on
Wednesday by our mayor, Judge E. E.
Pound, and a number of our representa
tive citizens, and escorted to the court
house. It was discovered that half the
people could not get sitting room, who
were anxious to hear him, but they stood
on foot and crowded the room to suffo
cation.
The speaker reached the hearts of the
people, and made many friends. We
nw some old soldiers shed tears when
they were being alluded to, and heard
them say that they were now Atkinson
men, and that they believed Atkinson
was as good a friend as the soldiers had
in the world.

Editor Fouche of the Henry County
Weekly has been elected treasurer of the
funds belonging to McDonough for the
year 1894. It is now in order for tho
council to purchase a lock and chain and
fix Mr. Fouche so as he may not have
tho advantage of emulating the example of
Lewis Redwine. The position of treas
urer is a very high and responsible one,
and though the Jackson council are afraid
to even trust us arennd the corner with a
dog tag purchased on credit, it affords us
much pleasure te know that there is one
newspaper man on earth that can be
trusted.
Go to Hanes to have your re
pair work done.
AND THUS IT IS.
Good heavens! To-day while walking
the street,
I heard a great uoise from all I would
meet;
Their faces looked angry, their words
were not mild,
Indeed, they were looking as if they
were wild.
%
I stopped to enquire what the trouble
could be,
But only got further and further at
sea;
There was not a cessation —not even a
pause,
So I learned they were cursing the
couneil’s new laws.
They said that the council had taken
a great bound,
And taxed every creature in all of the
town;
And if they acceded to the lords’
broad say,
’Twould take all their goods and then
couldn't pay.
They would have to sell out aud oleee
up their doors.
And Jackson would be left without
any stores,
The treasury be empty without any
tax,
With the Mayor and council hung
high on the racks.
Aad then they would growl, and fume
and would “cuss,”
And the Lord only know* I never
heard such a fuss,
And they “cussed”—it’* a fact—l de
clare it’s true,
Till some of the houses were black,
white end blue.
At last they decided to call a big
meeting,
And to all of the counoil .they’d send a
warm greeting
And see if the differences could be
adjusted.
If not the whole town would be mined
—be busted!

Mr. Gunn has had the front of his
store painted blue. That doesn’t mean
that Billy Potts has the blues, however.
Mr. Haynes is seriously contemplating
having his store front painted black.

COUNTY LINE.
Mr. Editor —Newsis scarce in these
parts. It rains so much that .we can
not do anything in the farm so we
just have to spend the time on swap
ping horses and getting married.
There seems to be a revival in getting
married at this time. There were two
couples married close by here this
week, and on ilie same day.
The boys swap horses for the fun of
it. Somebody is making money, I
reckon It puts us in mind of the two
boys that used to shut themselves up
iu a room and swap pants all day and
make three dollars a day.
It is to lie hoped thatwc will have
some fair weather soon, so that we
can farm. Charlie Bartlett says that
it rains every Sunday so he can’t go
to see his girl. We are aorry' lor
Charlie, however the best better not
all marry at once, better divide up
and save some for next fall. We have
one or two old bachelors on the mar
ket we would like for the girls to
marry off before they get out of heart.
We have a good county and in good
condition. Most of the farmers have
plenty ot corn and meat, and money
seems to be plentiful, and just think
flour at $3.30 a barrel, meat at 71-2
cenls a pound, and wages high. No
man need to go to bed hungry, for
every man that is willing to work can
live it vve continue a few more years
to raise corn and meat, we will be
safe
I endorse Mr. It. W. Mays on the
subject ot county court. We have
good schools all over the county, and
our people are taking more interest in
education, we are glad of it. Let our
children be educated in morals, mu
sic, temperance, charity, kindness, re
spect for each other, and ere long it
will be truly said: ‘This is the gar
den spot of the world.” If this es
cape? the waste basket, I will write
again and will write on taxation.
