Dr. R. J. Massey, of Atlanta, is being
urged as the right man for principal pby
siciau of the Georgia penitentiary. He

now established.

him, otherwise he could have been cap
tured. The Carmichael Cos., are selling
goods so cheap now that even criminals
can’t keep from trading with them when
the sheriffs and marshals are scouring

age, and son of Mr. F. M. Hodges, died
on Saturday and was buried at Macedo

When cotton is just the same price as
in other towns, it pays to come to Jack
son. For the reason that goods are 25
per cent cheaper for the same kind of
goods here. In fact, a man can buy
more clothing and clothes of every kind
with a bale of cotton now than he could
when cotton was 8 cents a pound. Be
cause goods are selling for less than
half what they were then in Jackson.
This may not be true in regard to all
towns, but it is of Jackson.
You can get the Argus and the
New York World (twice-a-week) for the
small price of $1.75 a year, strictly in
advance. This is the greatest value in
reading matter ever offered Middle Geor
gia. If you are in arrears to the Argus
and want to take advantage of this com
bination, you must pay up all arrearages,
besides the $1.75 adyance payment.
On our arrival at the office one'faorn
ing this week, we found at our office
door a fine lot of pad-board with this
inscription:
FROM S. M. POPE

How nice it is to be remembered by our
friends in this little matter. Many
thanks, friend.
Ray & Ray, attorneys for J. MattMc-
Michael, served Col. Dempsey with no
tice of contest Monday, stating that tes
timony would be taken in the court
house on Monday next hetore J. C. Mad
dox, J. P. There are numerous charges
of fraud on the part of the mauagers.
It will be the first thing of the kind to
occur in our county, and is a notice to
demoorats to, in the future, make their
majorities large enough. But, great
goodness, seventy is enough.
Mr. J. R- Carmichael on Wednesday
last shipped a car load of his excellent
Jackson Buggies to Macon, where he
will put them on exhibition at the Fan
grounds. He also sent down some ball
bearing axles and rubber tire buggies
which he is now handling. Mr. Steven
Kinard will be in charge of the exhibit
at the fair grounds, while Mr. Carmi
chael remains in Jackson to look after
his collections, etc. We are confident
that the Jackson Buggies will make a
grand showing at the fair, as no better
grade of yehicles can be found than
those manufactured right here in Jack
son by tha Jackson Carriage Factory.
We aie looking for a blue ribbon to come
back with those buggies.

A NIGHT’S REBELLION,
[ Strong in my heart old memories wake,
Tonight!
Live on my lips dead kisses burn;
Hot to my eyes wet tears return;
Forgotten throbs my pulse shake,
Tonight!
Love is avenged—my buried love—
Tonight!
The weakling Present slips away;
Tbe giant Past alone Las sway—
Potential as the gods above —
Tonight!
And let him reign! I’ll bold my soul,
Tonight!
In glad fief to this mighty Past ;
My false t llegiance off I cast,
Deny the Present’s petty toil,
Tonight!
Take royally, great Past, my king,
Tonight!
Tomorrow’s suu may tliee unthrone:
Bnt eyes, lips, heart—all that I own
Of treasure—l before thee fling
Tonight!
—Leonora Beck, in the Jeweler’s Record.
Sometime ago we wrote a pieee concern
ing the sale of Indian Spring water at
Atlanta, Griffin and other places by Mr.
George Collier, the affable and gentle
manly proprietor of the Wigwam hotel
at the Spring. Mr. Collier was in to see
us and has succeeded in showing us
wherein we were misinformed regarding
the matter. So we hereby give him
permission to sell this valuable water
anywhere and in such quantities as he
may think best. The law giye6 him the
right to do as he pleases with Indian
Spring water, and we were laboring un
der a wrong impression of a clause in
the lease when our article was written
We wii-h Mr. Collier all the success in
his undertaking that he justly deserves,
aud hope this article may set the matter
right before the people.

SOME WISE REMARKS.
“My friends, there ate a great many
deluded people in this country 1 ” con
tinued the speaker. “There never was
a people with such environments as we
have; there never was a people on the
face of the earth situated as we are.
We of all people on the earth are not to
be divided. Twenty-seven years ago
when a great government sought to de
stroy the men and women of this people
the clanger was not so great as it is now.
For then the whole people were united,
and I say now regardless of whether it
hurts me, that this is a white man’s
country, aud the white man who seeks
to divide the white people and make the
negro the balance of power is a worse
enemy tathe peace of this country than
the mau who inyades it with a torch. We
are not going to have in this great state
of Georgia any negro rule. I will be the
last man who will endeavor to take from
any negro that which belongs to him,
and I believe in giving him equal rights
before tbe law, but I want it understood
that this is a white man’s country, the
wliiteman must rule.” Major Bacon
concluded with a splendid tribute to the
party and a strong appeal to the people
to roll up a big majority for Judge Bart
lett.
The above words coming from the
source they do, falling from the lips of
a disinterested person, so far as self is
concerned, and in fact insuring and al
most counting the solid vote of the pop
ulist against him in the legislature,
should cause every patriot in this broad
laud to go to work hard for democracy.
Hon. A. O. Bacon rose above himself
when he uttered the above brave words.

Our community is very much grieved
over the death of our beloved friend,

Mr. J. A. Plunkett has been attending

WRONG AGAIN.
Tne Democratic Executive committee
met in Jackson last Tuesday, and we
have been informed by a little bird that
happened to be inside when the doors
were closed that they decided not to
give tbe populists any representation on
the board of managers at next election.
We hope there is some mistake about
this as we know there is some men on
that committee who will do right.—Flo
villa Deadlight. i
The above is a fair sample of the pop
ulist’s campaign. There was noth
ing of the kind passed on by the com
mittee. Of course, we guess our con
temporary w as misinformed by iis “little
bird.” We also guess the bird itself was
an imaginary one, existing only in the
mind of tbe recorder. Such stuff ought
to disgustevery fair minded man, even
in the populist party, to say nothing of
the doubtful democrats. It is a great
pity that men otherwise respectable care
nothing for misrepresenting their neigh
bors in politics.

Two of the guarantee loan companies
doing business in Atlanta have been de
clared too much like a lottery by the
government, and orders have been re
ceived by Postmaster Fox to pay no
more orders or deliyer any registered
letters for them.
The companies are the Southern Guar
antee Loan Company, and the Equitable
Loan and Security Company.
They claim that they are not doing a
lottery business, and that the matter
will soon be adjusted by a test case in
the courts.
The case is interesting from the fact
that a number of the best people in that
city, among them Governor Nortlien and
State Treasurer Hardeman, have unwit
tingly allowed their names to be used in
the business of the companies.
Since it has been passed by the ruling
of the government’s attorneys as a lottery
Hon. R. L T . Hardeman, the state treasurer,
whose name appeared as president of
one of the companies, has tendered to
the company his resignation.
Governor Nortlien has asked that his
name cease to be used as an officer of
the company in their literature.
Moral—Be sure you are right and then
go ahead.

NOW, TAKE IT,
The best place in Butts county
partly inside the corporate limits
of Jenkinsburg. One four room
dwelling with all out houses and
well watered pastures, and an
other good three room house with
all out houses to the place. It
makes a bale to the acre every
year, and any part of it is rich
enough for a sugar cane patch,
land lies well and is all fresh.
The chance of your life to get a
very desirable home. Come quick
or it will be withdrawn.
Dr. Mays has gathered 16 bales of cot
ton, averaging over 500 pounds, from a
one horse farm. He says his cotton
rows are three and a half feet wide, and
he leayes the cotton plant one stalk in a
place and two feet apart in the row.
He allows none but careful bands to hoe
and plow it. He prepares his land and
when the time arrives to plant cotton
(about Ist of April) he opens with a
McCord fertilizing distributor and puts
in about 200 pounds of guano, made of
cotton seed meal, acid and phosphate,
following immediately with planter.. He
says it costs between 7 and 8 cents to
grow cotton here in Georgia. He says
there is no over production of wliat the
people eat and wear, but an under pro
duction of money.
