Enthusiasm wasn’t a scarce article in
the election on Saturday last.
h The county is now settling down to
business since the governor has been
elected.
It is now in order for those who lost
their “dough” betting on the election to
pitch in and make some more to supply
the vacancy in their pants pockets.
The populists have nominated Judge
Hines as their candidate for the gover
norship of Georgia in the next election.
Miss Quinn Land, of Machen, and Miss
Bertha Lane, of Smith’s Mills, are visit
ing at the residence of our worthy fel
low townsman, Mr. T. J . Lane.
Some people seem to think that we
have some candidates, but Lonorke
county, Ark., has forty-seven now in the
field. Eight of them are for sheriff.
We have heard some of our people re
mark that in case Mr. Beauchamp did
not run for sheriff Mr. Marshall Mayo
might go on the ticket with Mr. Craw
ford.
The cold suap on Saturday and Sun
day is reported to have done considera
ble damage to cotton in this section.
Gardens are said to have suffered yery
seriously also.
Mrs. M. C. McDonald, of Atlanta, spent
a few days in Jackson last week visiting
her children, Mrs. W. E Harp and J. G.
McDonald. She returned home on Mon
day.
We are sorry to chronicle the death of
Mrs. Gibson, mother of Mr. J. W. Gib
son, of Flovilla. She wa an aged lady
and her death was not unexpected. The
family have our sympathy.
We regret to announce that Mrs. B. F.
Moon has been confined to her room for
some time past with a severe spell of
sickness. We hope for an early recov
ery, as at last accounts sh was improv
ing somewhat, though at one time her
death was momentarily expected.
Mr. D. J. Thaxton will not move his
family to Macon, as some rumor has it.
To the contrary he will remain in Jack
son and run for clerk of the court.
There were some heavy jokes passed
in Jackson on Saturday during the poll
ing of the yotes, but everything went
off nicely, except—well that’s all right.
The commencement exercises at the
Institute will be the best ever seen on a
Jke occasion in this part of the couutry.
t would pay our readers to come and
ring their children so they may be en
couraged to renewed efforts in climbing
the ladder of learning.
The Argus said to Dr. Ellis, “Did you |
see that the Macon Telegraph had men
tioned your name as a probalde candi
date for the legislature?” “No,” said
the doctor, “but they are barking up the
wrong tree. I would not enter the
struggle for the floating vote, as a man
must do to be elected, to be president
of the United States. I have no appe
tite for such a thing aud will cot enter
the race.”
"Eastern Shoes” for sale at the
Star Store. Such as Bay State
at SI.OO per pair.
Without doubt, the best spring medi
cine is Ayer’s Sarsaparilla. Give it a
trial.
The Hon. J. K. Hines remarked some
time since that he would affiliate with
the populist if they get out a respecta
ble set of candidates in the field. We
presume he thinks they have a respecta
ble one for governor, and we are of the
opinion that some democrats agree with
Mr. Hines in this matter.
Mr. William Trapp is probably the old
est man in Butts county. He is nearly
85 years old.

In connection with the road Mr. Smith
has a diagram, drawn by an electirican,
showing a plant on South river lighting
Jackson, Flovilla and Indian Spring,
with enough electricity to run the cars
on the dummy. And, besides this, he
shows that it will generate a sufficiency
of power at one of the towns mentioned
aud be has a man ready to put thirty
thousand dollars in the cotton factory.
Now, let Jackson build the factory on
the waste land this side of the depot,
and moveo uward and upward while the
irons hot.
Pictures enlarged 20 per cent
cheaper than agents canvassing.
First class, high priced work
done at the cheap work rates.
The recent freeze came very near fix
ing the price of cotton at 20c per pound.
Two degrees more would have done the
work aud also have fixed the price of
cotton seed at $5 a bushel.
Mr. J. M. Crawford aud Dr. Ellis are
now added to the list who haye horses
cut on barb wire. This barb wire busi
ness is a very expensive, inhumane, cru
el experiment. Why not have the wire
without the barbs?
A teacher once had a little fellow
turned down wrongfully. The one who
was benefitted considered it a dishonest
thing and thought less of the teacher.
The wronged one turned pale aud said
nothing, but it is an enemy for life.

roots of the hair are not closed up.

schedule again. The morning trains now

Station as before.
“Eastern Shoes” at Star Store.
Charlie Gresham is a whole-souled and
genial hotelist, and if he can’t make his
guests feel at home no one else need to
try it.
Guthrie’s watermelon vineyard is now
in a prosperous condition, and if Atkin
son had not been elected in this county
he would have been left sorely destitute
as he had banked his whole crop on At
kinson earrying the county. His crop
of English sparrows are coming out nice
ly and he will soon be ready to serve the
market with nice, fat rice birds.
Col. M. W. Beck is strictly in the race
forjudge of the Flynt circuit, and he’s
as sure to get there as his opponent is to

ets and novelties from Mexico, among
which are a Mexican sombrero, a pair of
sandals, two water jugs, and innumei-a
ble trinkets. The Doctor was well
pleased with his trip and wants to go
back soon.
avoid bitterness.
As we have, during the next few
months a succession ol political cam
paigns, it is import mt that our people
and especially those inclined to politi
cal discussion, should move, act anti
talk on conseiadve Hues, and avoid all
bitterness Differences ot opinion on
political questions are legitimate;
preferences for men who aspire to
office are also legitimate; but these
diflei ences ami discussions should not
lead us into such discussions as will
engender bitterness of feeling or pol
itical animosity. Such discussions
are ordinarily not productive of any
good results, but are oftener than
otherwise harmful and hurtful.
It is well and proper that Hie voters
of this country shouUl discuss politi
cal issues and questions pertaining 10
their interests and thereby inform
themselves as best they may. It is
right, indeed it is a pai l of wisdom,
that voters should study and investi
gate subject matter bearing directly
upomthe administration of goiern
ment. In this way alone can they
gain or acquire that information need
ful to guide them wisely in the exer
cise of their sufferage powers, which
is the grandest privilege as well as
the most important duty of an Amer
ican citizen. But where political dis
cussions degenerate into bickerings,
bitterness and wranglings that engen-.
der animosity between voters, then
they not noly cease to be profitable,
but become hurttul and a source of
damage to the body politic.
More especially should we be care
ful to guard agaiust such discussions
within party ranks, because they can
but lead to party factious and a weak
ening of party strength. And cer
tainly the present is not a time for
factions in the democratic party. For
now when democracy is laboring and
moving slowly but surely to the con
surnation of the great reforms needed
in the administration of government,
those struggling in the front need the
aid and co-operation of every demo
crat in the land who desires the wel
fare of his country, and a return of
prosperity to the people. Hence we
should avoid all bitterness in our pol
itical discussions, and in harmony, as
democratic brethren, work together
for those true principles upon who.h
the perpetuity of republics must rest.

From the present outlook Hon. A. O.
Bacon will be the next United States
senator from Georgia. He is one of the
best equipped men of th estate to hold
this important office. While we have no
authority to speak for the democracy
of Hart county, we believe when they
make a formal expression it will be
unanimously in favor of Major Bacon.—
Hartville Bee.
Major Bacon is one of Georgia’s ablest
men; is thoroughly conversant with the
questions involving the people’s interest;
is a true and staunch democrat, and will
make Georgia an able representative in
theUuited States senate. Georgiashould
select her ablest men to represent her in
the national senate.—Monroe Advertiser.
All of which we heartily endorse.

Hon. A. O. Bacon, present candidate
for the United States Senate, introduced
a set of resolutions in the House in 1893,
which were adopted by the senate and
House of Representatives. The resolu
tions may be found on page 497 of the
published laws of Georgia for 1893. It
was an able document and is a fruitful
evidence of the cultured mind of its
champion. Commenting on the intro
duction of these resolutions the
Clarksyille Advertiser said:
“Major A. O. Bacon is a candidate for
the United States Senate. He has an
nounced his platform by a set of resolu
tions introduced in the Legislature. He
comes out squarely for silver, State
banks of issue, an income tax, and de
clares that customs duties should be lev
ied for revenue only. This is unques
tionably the platform upon which a
United States Senator must be elected.
It is Democratic, it is sound and pure,
and it Is according to the demands and
in the interest of the people. It is a
platform good enough to live by and die
by. The Senator ought to be a man of
such high integrity and honesty that he
will not only be elected upon it, but stand
upon it, not only in Georgia, but in
Washington also.”
