We publish a “calamity howl'’ in
this issue from Ihe pen of Dr. R. W.
Mays, which is characteristic of all
populist effusions. He and his sect
are laboring under the hallucination
that if the Democrats don’t pass a
law the “pops” want passed, they
claim the Democrats are in the major
ity, and are therefore responsible; but
when the Democrats kill a bill the
“pops’’ want killed, they say they
came very near not doing it, and they
give the populists credit.
The truth is, Democrats are inde
pendent and don’t vote like sheep
following the bell-wether. The re
publicans and populists voted against
the bill because a Democrat intro
duced it. whereas the democrats voted
from convictions. According to the
Doctor's own statement, the bill
would have been killed if the “reps''
and “pops” had not been there.
In his article lie vents a pent up
spleen by villifying the president and
members of congress for letting the
people remain poor. He wants more
money, larger bills and sounder ma
terial. It’s really hard to plaese him !
He has a special cause for complaint
in regard to the condition of the gov
ernment. Under its administration
of affairs he has been able to accu
mulate the magnificent sum of
seventy-five or one hundred thousand
dollars in the last fifteen or twenty
years. What would be our condition
if all men had done as well? Did
he not. make his money legitimately?
Then the government can’t keep a
man from making money if he has the
sense and energy to do so. If it could
Dr. Mays would have been poor today.
He actually draws on his imagina
tion and labors under the vivid idea
that it affords congress a special de
light to grind the poor and extort
money from the penniless.
While there is some truth in t he ar
ticle, his objections are as devoid of
reason as the Sahara desert is of water
and his ridiculous tirade in trying to
disparage the Democrats for having
done their duty is extremely ludicrous.
If some people ever get to heaven
they will grumble about the arrange
ment of the seats. Next !
AH, THERE, SISAN !
The recent Woman’s Rights Con
vention held in the city of Atlanta
was one of the most unwomanly things
of which we have heard in many a
day. It has well been called by one
of the Atlanta papers “a battle for
breeches.” We should think that
the conduct of these women, as they
delivered their tirades against the
men, must have been disgusting in
the extreme to all true men and
women. When women undertake to
play the role of men it must tend to
only degrade them, and make men
have a contempt for them, instead of
t hat high esteem in which they ever
hold the gentler sex.
Women can speak, preach, vote,
carry police clubs, curse, drink, shoot
steal and strut around generally, but
there is one thing they can never be
come, and t hat is the husband of a
wife, or the father of a family. We
love and almost adore true women,
but from Susan Anthony and all who
want to wear breeches, “Good Lord
deliver us!"
We are not surprised that there
were thieves and robbers among them
for several of the women had their
pockets picked, and lost hundreds of
dollars and a good deal of their jew
elry. This work was done in the con
vention hall, and. most probably, by
the hands of women. But we must
confess that our contempt is greatest
for the poor fool husbands who attend
ed the thing as delegates, and we bear
not much more respect for the other
men who took the little parts which
Susan allotted them. The Argus is
for the Atlanta fair, but the day set
apart for the “female suffragists” is a
dark spot and a blot upon it. Per
haps Atlanta will get enough some
day.
Let s have a meeting of the people
of Butts county some time soon and
devise a plan for the erection of a
cotton factory. One man told us the
other day that if the movement was
started he would put $5,000 into it
and another said he'd go $3,000.
Thats the way to talk. It's no
trouble to do anything if you go at it
right! And Jackson doesn’t know
the meaning of the word “fail! Let
us hear from our people on the sub
ject.
MAYS ON FINANCE.
Messrs. Editors — l find that many
men who would become offended if
you were to intimate that they are
not men of general intelligence, far
over an average, that will tell you
that they don’t know anything about
government finance, neither do they
really believe any one else does except
the president of the United States,
his cabinet and members of congress.
I dont know how to size up a mer
chant, doctor, or a bell-wether of a
malitia district when he talks that
way. Most of our people are about
out of finances, but I think it a good
idetotry to ascertain how the thing
happened, and how to get it back.
If the bond bill introduced by
Springer and endorsed by the presi
dent will have become a law you
would have known some day what
“government finance’’ is. That bill's
purpose was to make the British gold
standard a permanency in our system
of finance.
We now have a burden of debt
upon us, which, if ever paid, will bear
heavy upon the people, and our offi
cers are continuing to pile it up.
They are “doing usAip” slowly but
surely. That bill would have hasten
ed the work.
Congratulate ourselves, some say
over the defeat of the bill. The vote
was too close for congratulat ions, only
25 majority against the bill ; the dem
ocrats gave 8, the republicans 12.
the populists 10. About one third
of the Southern democrats voted for
it ; only two Southern states voted
solid against it, and they were North
and South Carolina. Before we con
gratulate ourselves let's see what
statesmen Grover and congress has
done for us:
They have made money scarcer,
taxes higher, and the national debt
greater. Every prudent business
man sees the storm and is reefiing his
sails to avoid loss, and hoping it will
soon blow over, and that will be when
the products of labor take arise, and
that will be when the supply of mottey
is increased on a non interest basis to
the government and not before.

HECK AND GRIGGS.
The above linn was doing business in the
court house in our town In 18X3. Having just
graduated in law they had hung out their shin
gle with the alwve as the firm name. Our town
was young then, and so were these two ambi
tious disciples of Blackstone. They did not do
a “land office” business, and after battling ad
versities for a few months, in vain endeavors
to woo the goddess of fortune, they both were
“dead strapped.” Judge Griggs, from the
goodness of his heart, realized the true state of
affairs, and after racking his brain for a mode
of relief, remembered a little school house up
in the mountains of North Georgia where he
could earn a few shekels by teaching" school,
thereby enabling the infant law firm to keep
its head above tide water.
He accordingly toldJßeck to “hold the fort”
until he could raise a stake, and he would re
turn and deliver him out of bondage. He may
or may not have raised the stake, but he has
never been back here since that day, and Beck
is “still holding the fort.” It transpires as a
strange co-incidence, that Judge James M.
Griggs, of the Pataula circuit, will be here
next week to hold court for Judge M. W. Beck,
of this circuit, while of course, "Beck will
hold the fort.”
It would he interesting to know each up
ward step of these two brilliant youg men
since their firm was dissolved by force of cir
cumstances. just twelve years ago.

“Cleveland’s administration will be known
in history as the bond administration. He
don’t know there is anybody in these United
States except gold-bugs and bondholders. He’s
running the government entirely in their in
terest. He wants to issue five hundred million
dollars principal and interest, payable in gold.
It means bond! bonds! bondage for the
people of this country.”—Jesup Sentinel.
The Sentinel is published down in
old man Turner's settlement, you re
member. Mr. Turner is the only
man in congress from Georgia, who
had the indiscretion to vote for the
bond or “slavery law,” as suggested
by his majesty, the tolerable fat
president of these bleeding United
States.

Calculators, who figured on the
question, announce that if the cotton
crop of the south was manufactured
by southern factories, it would sell for
more than three times as much as it
does now, If this be true, the south
certainly ought to manufacture its
own cotton and thereby circulate
among her own people two-thirds of
the money for her cotton that is now
among people of other sections.
Our capitalists should erect some
residences in Jackson. At least 25
families would come here to locate if
we had suitable hoiiie%for them.

RELIGIOUS DEPARTMENT
Christians should Cove Christian*.
This is so clearly and forcibly
taught in the Bible that a wayfaring
man though a fool need not fail to
find it. Indeed, it is given as one of
the evidences that a person is a
Christian, and its marked presence is
one of the strongest proofs to the
world that there is genuineness in
religion. We are broad enough to
believe that Christians should love
one another, though they do not be
long-to the same church or the same
denomination. As desirable as Chris
tian union and church fellowship may
be, we do not look for them in this
world, unless it be when the millen
ium comes, but this is no bar to
Christian love. It is a very poor
Christian, indeed, wljp cannot love
another because, forsoot h he cannot
pronounce his “shibboleth.” And
yet there are some Christians-—we are
charitable enough to call them Chris
tians —who have such a prejudice lor
those who are not of their way of
thinking, that they seem not only
not to love them, but even to bate
them. What an example to set be
fore the unconverted, an example
which causes them' to doubt the pro
fession of the one who acts in this way,
and it may possibly cause them to re
ject Christ The writer of these lines
loves every man, woman and child in
whose life he sees Christ, whether lie
is of his way of thinking or not.
Once more, not only should Christians
love Christians, but they should love
sinners and seek to have them saved.
Our Lord loves sinners, and he says :
“I came not to call the righteous, but
sinners to repentance.” We fear that
professed Christians, who have no love
in their hearts for their brethren,
have not the love of the Savior, and
they are sure not to love sinners and
seek to lead them to the master. The
blind cannot lead the blind.
Wonder if this cold snap had any
effect on Grover’s bonds.

mation how to make money raising

OIR NEW COURT HOUSE.
Time anl ajiain our grand juries have rec
ommended the erection of anew court house
for Butts county, and our people are awakened
to the importance of their recommendations.
It is simply a question of time when one will
have to l>o built, and it is our opinion that the
sooner this step is taken the l>etter it will he
for our county, and the tax payers in general.
Mr. B. F. Smith, a eontracter and expert vault
builder, of wide experience, is in Jackson with
plans and specifications of an addition to the
court house now standing. His idea is to place
anew front to the present structure, and there
in have the ordinary’s and Clerk of (. ourt s
offices, both of which will ho lire proof and
contain all the modern conveniences. Tire
new addition proposed hy Mr. Smith will have
a tower projecting high above the building in
which could t>e placed a town clock, making an
other great convenience 1 to our citizens. His
plans and drawings will be placed before the
grand jury next week, and we here take occa
sion to state that it will not he long before
Butts co. will have as pretty and commodious
a structure as any county in Georgia her size.
By all means lot’s have anew court house.
The tax paid by our two railroads would build
the house without costing a tax payer a cent.
Should we issuebtmds payable in part annually
until paid, the railroad will meet our obliga
tions. or so near it that we eauld not fe.,-1 the
difference in the tax.
Should the books and records of court get
burned it would cost the eouty $50,000 and 50 or
100 years of unneccary litigation. Now is the
chance of our life to avert this possible calami
ty. The grand jury will sec the necessity and
should welcome it next week.
’i he Discovery Saved Ifiis Clfe
Dr. G. Gailouette, Druggist, Boaverville, 111.,
says: “To Dr. King's New Discovery I owe
my life. Was taken with LaGrippe and tried
all the physicians for miles about, hut of no
avail, and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery in my
store I sent for a bottle and began its use and
from the first dose began to get better, and af
ter using three bottles was up and about again.
It is worth its weight in gold. We won't keep
store or house without it." Get a free trial
bottle at R. G. Bryan's Drug Store.
The court reconvened yesterday
Morning with Judge Griggs, of Dawson
presiding. In organizing the juries
and getting the court machinery in
readiness for work, it was promptly
ascertained that Judge Grigg’s rep
utation upon the bench was well
founded. He is a young man, whose
ability and quick legal perception fitly
qualifies him for the position which
he holds.
If the* grave offences, pending he
tried the criminal business will doubt
less occupy the attention of the court
most of Ihe time. —Monroe Advertiser
