Seab Wright and his forces had a
gala day at Locust Grove yesterday.

young business man of Atlanta, was

Arkansas has gone democratic by

JIIUE.
We feel that Governor AtKinson
deserves commendation for the firm
and just stand which he has taken in
the Ifanye case. While personally
he sympathized with the condemned
man, still as goveri*br of the state lie
fell that he could only fulfill the de
mands of justice I)3' letting the law
take its course.
This morbid pity which is ever
ready to mane a hero of the brutal
murderer, forgetting the poor dead
victim, needs to be checked.
Tt lias come to the pass that no
man is ever condemned to death for
almost any crime, no matter how
brutal or horrible’ it may be, but
there are a lot of morbid sentiment
alist who endeavor to make a hero of
the murderer and play upon a mis
taken pity.
Of course Hanye's lawyers deserve
credit for their great eiforts in his
behalf, but the foolish sentimentalist
have seized tris oceafsion, as they do
every other of the same kind, to
apotheosize the slayer, and crown
him with the garlands ot perverted
pity. —La Grange Giaphic. \
The cause of genuine prohibition
has been set back at least, a decade
by its unholy alliance with populism.
Democratic clubs are being organ
ized in every districtdn Butts county.
This means a big victory on Oct. 7th.
Joliii Temple Graves evidently con
siders himself a potent factor in
present polyglot populist forces of the
state.
We are glad to see the movement
0 n fool to organize democratic clubs
throughout the country. This means
| much for our candidates.
| John Temple Graves has quit the
| lecture platform and has gone into
' the card writing business for the
! cause of populistic prohibition. ‘ .
What are the nominees of Indian
apolis convention doing towards their
election? Of course Mr. Palmer ex
peels lo be the next president.
Li Hung Chang has returned to his
far away home to smoke and rumi
nate over the great things he saw in
the home of the Meliean man.
Those who support Mr. Seaborn
Wright may be prohibitionists or
populists, but for a surety they are
not democrats, nor can they be.
Scab Wright says he is'amazed at
the number of democrats who are
coming toliis support. Yes, and lie
will be greater surprised still on the
7th of October.
Judge Joseph H. Earle of S. 0.
received the nomination of the prim
aries for United States Senator on
Tuesday over Gov. John Gary Evans.
His majority was about 12,000.
Steve Clay says he cannot supply
the demand for democratic speakers
from all points of the state. Every
part of the state is being thoroughly
canvassed and the good results will
be seen in October.
Governor Atkinson is making some
vote winning campaign speeches in
Georgia. He is doing more today
for the Uause of prohibition than
Seab Wright, the hybrid candidate
for governor of Georgia.
John Temple Graves, that little
parabolic phrase monger, says he is
going to vote for handsome Seaborn
Wright because Seab is now advocat
ing the same principles that Johnnie
contended for four years ago.
Democratic State Chairman Clay
exhibits his sound sense and sturdy
honesty in the following declaration :
‘*l want the populists to have a
manager at the the polls so that they
will be satisfied with the result. I
am perfectly sure that we can carry
the state, but I want to see the ticket
elected hon.'stly. If we cant beat
the populist fairly, we ought not to
have the officers. I will not have
anything to do with a campaign that
is not run honestly. It is not in m3’
power to name the managers; that
is done by the local authorities in
each county. In the tenth district
the populist would not give us a man
ager in their counties. I shall urge
our people to give the populists a
manager at every box and I shall ask
the populists to do the same by us in
the counties which they control. I
shall ask them to aid us in getting
an honest count. If that is done Loth
parties should be satisfied with the
result.” Mr. Olay is always right.
and in this instance, escapecially so.
We all want a governor who is hones
tly e lected and Inaugurated.
A JACKSON .VIA*.
On the streets of Jackson one meets
a good .jovial fellow who always has a
pleasant word and a smile for those
he meets. He look's younger than he
is and reels the same way. Time has
left no visible mark of her. visit to his
person. But he lias a history and an
experience* he nor no one else would
like to repeat. When the dark
clouds of war hung heavy and drear
over our southland, he was a soldier
boy. When Greek met Greek at
Franklin, Tenn,, in JBO4. an enemy'
bullet passed through liis body and
he fell. When lie fell lie remained
on the bare ground twenty-four hours,
lying in the jaws of death through
the dark night, after the cannon had
ceased to belch and the musketry
was silent, listening to the bark of the
watch-dog by the cottage door half
mile away, where happiness reigned
supreme. No one came n-ar to speak
a soothing word, drop a sympathetic
tear or tender water or food. His
thoughts were of a happy home in
Georgia, where loving hands would
have administered to him but for the
space that intervened. The day
came and still no one came to help
the soldier that the doctor had said
there was no hope for. The day was
far spent and the sun hanging near
the horizon when the surglon*reached
him and told the bleeding boy his
wond was not necessarly fatal and
had him carried to the hospital.
Hope revived in the fori on poss ; bility
of seeing home again. Very few men
with such treatment, and such a
wond would be living to-day. That
man, whose experience this is, Mr.
; J .m. T. Mayo, our fellow townsman,
! whom you all know.
Tlic Populist Powwow*
On last Friday a negro orator, from
Milledgvilie, addressed about seventy
five negroes and 85 or 40 white people
populist and democrats, in the court
house. He gave a strong hint to the
negroes that the populist considerd
ignorance a special virtue and that
they would be put upon the jury
when the party' got every thing their
own way. He was a very ignorant
negro, not knowing how to pronounce
the most common words. He wanted
to speak of corporations and called
cooperations every time, thus abusing
what the populist glory in. He did
his party no good at all, for, he
advocated prohibi ions and the
negroes did’nt like that lie was
forced bv a democrat present, to say
the Republican party was nothing
but gold bug democrats. He suc
ceeded in disgusting some disatis
fied democrats who were thinking
of splitting their ticket good nen
know that people don’t ha.e to
appeal to low and base faculties of
the mind • for good things. If the
populist party want reform that is
needed why dmt they appeal to the
inteligence of the white and colored
races, instead of having ignorant
negro orators to speak to ignorant
negroes. Jackson has plenty' of
colord men better informed than
Reynolds, and so far as local polities
are concerned they will support the
democrats. In the national election
they will vote with the Republicans,
but they can never be used as a tool
by negroes who know less than they
do.
Political Love .Seeking.
My Dear Miss Brown —I hereb\ T an
nounce myself as a candidate for
your hand, and I shall use all fair
and honorable means to secure the
nomination. I know that there are
many candidates in the field, and I
hesitated long before entering the
race, but no a* that 1 am in it T am in
to stay.
My views on love and matrimony
have often been expressed in vour
hearing, and 1 need not repeat them
here. You know I favor the gold
standard of love—aone-hundaed cent
dollar love, and maintainance of :hat
standard after marriage.
If you decide to confer on me the
i-onor I seek, please fix a date for a
caucus with \*)ur mother. I ha>e no
objection to her acting temporary
chairman, provided it is clears un
derstood that lamto be permanent
chairman. Should the result of
the caucas prove satisfaetorj*, we :an
soon hold the primaries and select
the date and place of convention.
I have never believed in long cam
paigns so if 3*oll decide to honor me
I %vill ask you to make the convent
ion da’e as early as possible.
l)evotedl> T 3*ours,
Johx Crooks.

Blood Poison.
Contagious B*ood Poison has been ap
propriately called the curse of mankind.
It is the one disease that physicians can
not cure; their mercurial aud potash
remedies only bottle up the poison in
the system, to surely break forth in a
more virulent form, resulting in a total
wreck of the system.
Mr. Frank B. Martin, a prominent
jeweler at 926 Pensylvania Ave., Wash

I was for a long
time under treat
ment of two of
the best physi
cians of this city,
for a severe case
grew worse all
the while, not
withstanding the
fact that they
charged me three
hundred dollars.
My mouth was
filled with eating sores; my tongue was
almost eaten away, so that for three
months I was unable to taste any solid
food. My hair was coming out rapidly,
and I was in a horrible fix. I had tried
various treatments, and was nearly dis
couraged, when a friend recommended
S.S.S. After T had taken four bottles, I
began to get better, and when I had
