Have your Tiekets printed at the Argus
office.
Scab is “Wright-,” but Wright is
is not right, nor will he ever be.
Tom Watson ha* been notified and
Sewall roasted by one, Marion But
ler.
Mr. Watson wants Sewall to retire
because he didn’t carry Maine. We
will see whether or not Mr. Watson
will carry Georgia.
JOHN TEItIHE GKAVfti;
Yf> day this political polyglot and
parabolic phrase monger is expected ;
to speak in Jackson. There is no j
vituperation or abuse in the above;
language when applied to Mr. Graves i
and we do not mean it that way.
Mr. Graves’ business is to study up j
prtety and fanciful rhetorical ex- !
pressions and then deliver the a from i
the stage as a lecturer.
We do not propose to discount Mr.
Graves' ability as an orator, but as a
political director and campaign com
monner he is totally unfit, except to
stir up strife and dissension where
there was formerl / peace and harmo
ny.
It would be different if Mr. Graves
represented any political organizat
ion. He is utterly without affiliation
with any party and his mission seems
to be to create bitterness and dissat
isfaction-among those who belong to
the different parties. Just inch men
as Mr. Graves meddling in politics,
have caused more to disorganize
party politics than all other things
combined.
By his political meddlesomeness
he is committing political suicide and
we are sure his audiences in Georgia
at least, will be none the larger at
his lectures.
We are sorry we do nob know in
whose interest Mr. Graves has come
to Jackson, but we have been utter
ly unable to ascertain whether he
will speak for Seaborn Wright, his
companion in misery, or whether he
will deal with more temperate issues
and persuade the populists that in
prohibition is their political as well
as eternal salvation ; or whether, im
bued with the spirit of golden dreams
in Elysian fields profuse with the
luxuriance of the g’olden rod(the nat
ional flower)he will speak in the in
terests of gold and and its plutocrat
ic wo r-hi ppers on Wall street. We
say, we are sorry we can not divine
his intentions. For ourselves, we
think they .are about as vague and
uncertain as the populists hopes of
success in Butts county.
Tra la, Mr. Graves.
RE<* ISTBATION BOOKS CLOSED.
The registration books were closed
yesterday evening. It has been as
c >rtained as correctly as possible that
about 925 democrats, 880 populists
and something over one hundred re
publicans have registered. Of course
these figures l'or the most part are as
sumptions, based on the past records
of what men have been. Taking
these figures as a reasonable basis
things look bright for democratic
success in October.
The number of democrats register
ed will over double the number of
populists and republicans. We pre
dict that these figures give us an in
sight ino what the democratic maj
ority will be on October 7tli in Butts
county.
In other words Jno. Temple Graves
might be called a political peripatetic
philosopher.
John Temple Graves is an egotistic
mixtry of Rancor, Rot and Rhetoric.
LaGrange Graphic.
“The great trouble in this world is
that there are too many prodigals
and too little calf.”
Maine's republican majority is 50,
000, though the democrats have
gained 3000 since the last election.
Just such dabblers in politics as
John Temple Graves cause more dis
satisfaction than the whole populist
party.
John Temple Graves might be
called for want of better terms, a
goldbug demo - populo - temperance
party man.
About the Bth. of October the pop
ulists of Butts county will wake up,
rubbing their eyes and wonder “where
they are at.”
The British Empira has taken a
hand in the matter of Armenian
atrocities and has ordered the Sultan
to cease his persecutions.
Suppose “in the satire of events,”
Wright should be elected governor.
How will he rid the state of barrooms?
Will some kind advocate answer.
The state election in Maine cannot
be taken as an indication of what will
result in the national election. The
democrats of the state in their con
vention had the folly to endorse the
gold standard before the Chicago con
vention met. After its meeting the
party in Maine had to change its tac
tics. which resulted disastrously.
\fho9l Will yoi serve.
There aie a good many people over
the state who think that they can
cut the head of the state democratic
ticket and not compromise their dem
ocratic principles. Most of those who
think this have been in the past
staunch democrats and prohibition
ists likewise. They think, that for
once they can substitute Wright’s
name for Governor Atkinson’s and at
the same time not compromise their
faith and practice of the principles of
of democracy. Just here they are
wrong, for Mr. Wright stands for
nothing that would commend itself to
a democrat and when you vote for
him you have placed yourself beyond
the pale of the democratic party.
No true democrat should consider for
a moment giving Mr. Wright his sup
port, for in so doing you place your
self out side the ranks of the party.
It has been a long established pre
cedent to give the governors of Geor
gia two terms of office. They should
always get an overwhelming majority
for the second term, especially so in
th3 case of Gov. Atkinson who has
made us one of the best govern
ors the state has ever had.
If you vote for Wright you will
put yourself in the ranks of the pop
ulists and all right thinking people
will consider you just what you are,
a populist. There is no getting
around this fact. If you are not for
democracy from governor to coroner,
you are against it. There is no mid
dle ground.
We consider the principles of the
democratic party as necessary to its
perpetuity as the ten commandments
are to oureternd salvation. We are
told that if we break one of the com
mandments we are guilty of the
whole. Just so with the democratic
ticket il we cut the head of the tick
et for populism we are popubst all
the way through.
Choose you this day whom you will
serve.
The democrats of Butts county are
determined to do some effective work
for democracy. If you are a demo
crat fall into line and do your part.
Tom Watson will make application
for guardianship of the populist party
in Georgia on 0 tober Bth, which will
be heard by the court of ordinary of
McDuffie county.
The populists are very anxious for
the earth and the fullness thereof,
but during the year the democratic
party took a mortgage on it, which
they will foreclose on Oct. 7th.
After the general elections the dem
ocratic party will make application
to the country for letters of ad ninis
tration “de bonis non” oa the estate
of the populist party deceased.
You nor T are entitled to an opin
ion upon any question unless we have
made a close study of that question.
Too many are expressing opinions
today who are not entitled to them.
The organized labor unions of Chi
cago have asked Bryan and McKinley
to discuss national issues before them.
The papers are now asking the quest
ion, “is McKinley afraid of Bryan.”
It is our opinion that General Clem
ent A. Evans will be electel governor
of Georgia in 1898 without opposit
ion. He is still one of the grandest
men in the south, —Darien Gazette.
To characterize John Temple
Graves as “the man on whom the
mantle of Henry Grady has fallen” is
indeed a travesty upon the happy
memory of the South’s once illus
trious son.
The Alhambra University at Grif
fin has closed its doors. The presi
dent, Dr. Greenlee claims lack of
support as the oause of its failure.
Dr. Greenlee at once took out a home
stead for the protection of his family.
Since the Maine election the popu
lists have increased their campaign
literature against Mr. Sewall, since
he didn’t carry his own ward in
Bath. There is little rest for Mr.
Sewall from this on The pops are
after his scalp.
The liquor question in Georgia
should never be settled, ala South
Carolina. The democrats who have
the best interests of the state at
hert are determined that it shall
not be. The plan of local option
which has relieved 105 out of 137 in
Georgia during the past few years
of this evil will in course of time do
for the other 32 what it has done for
the 105. , _
B. M. Blaokbilrn, editor of the At
lanta Commercial, the populist daily
organ, will also be present in the city
today. Mr. Blackbu-n is little, but
occasionally loud.
Prohibition is a great- moral ques
tion for the people to settle in their
heads and not at the ballot box on a
ticket with mens’ names who are af
ter self aggrandizement.
Mixing populism with prohibition
is like taking quinine with syrup.
The dose is a bitter one, but the sav
ory effects of the sweetening will
cause some self styled democrats t-o
swallow the dose.
There is one man in Butts county
who should be satisfied with his
“short” cotton crop. He says he
planted with the expectation of maK
ing eleven hales but up to date he
has got thirteen. We forbear to
mention his name.
The Fort Valley Leader says;
Sam Jones, Clement A. Evans and
Warren Candler —an immortal trio.
Such men of nerve and principle,
who have no pet political ambitions
to forward and no fear nor favor,
would not be apt to go very far
wrong.
The governorship of Georgia does
not cary with it the power of a Czar.
If Wright is elected governor can lie
rid the state of barrooms? He knows
that he cannot of himself do this. He
wants to be governor and is wilt-ng to
get the office on any platform or
combination.
Whenever the people begin to take
a hand in politics and put out a can
didate from among their number
they are characterized as anarchists
and revolutionists. Martin Luther
was called a heretic and Christ an
impos l er. Their missions however
have succeeded.
Standing flat footed upon the re
publican platform, with one hand
grasping the democratic candidate
for president, and the other holding
on to the coat tails of the populist
nominee for governor, the position of
John Temple Graves is somewhat
strained.—LaGrange Graph ic.
Improving His bine*
Steven Kinard, the energetic,
progressive, and clever telephone
man, is makingconsiberable improve
ment and addi-ions to his line. His
latest move was to extend his line
from Towaliga to Patillo, and he is
now having the ground surveyed to
extend aline out to Stars.
It is probably that he will establish
a line from High Falls to Griffin Ga.,
at an early date. All these con
nections will be of great convenience
to the people of Jackson, and we
hope it will be a financial success, as
it doubtless will be.
Will call a Pastor*
The members of the Baptist Church
will meet next Friday night for the
purpose of choosing a pastor for anoth
er year, Rev. C. W. Durden having sent
in his resignation. It is desired that
a full membership be present, as this
is an important ma ter. The resi
gnation of Mr. Durden goes into effect
Oct. Ist.
\ Speaking; To Day.
John Temple Graves, parabolic phrase
inonger and political polyglot will
speak to day in Bank Hall. We
are sorry that we cannot announce
wieather he will speak in the interest
o\ the gold bug element of the demo
ciatic party, the populist element
of the phohibition party or the pro
hi)ition element of the populist party.
Hi belongs to all of these factions.
Hear him for yourself.
Popped on the Ear.
M*. J. D. Swint tells us that on last
Satirday he saw an ear of popcorn on
the talk standing in the field with
overhalf of its grains flared and pop
ped a nicely as if the ear had been
befod a blazzing fire. He says this
was the work of the sun while ifys
plerdrg rays were so intensely
warm.

Rheumatism
Is a blood disease and only a blood reme
dy can cure it. So many people make
the mistake of taking remedies which
at best are only tonics and cannot possi
bly reach their trouble. Mr. Asa Smith,
Greencastle, Indiana, says: “For years
I have suffered with Sciatic Rheuma
tism, which the best physicians were un
able to relieve. I took many patent
medicines hut they did not seem to
reach my trouble. I gradually grew
worse until I was un
able to take my food
or handle myself in
any way; I was abso
lutely helpless. Three
bottles of S.S.S. re-
Beved me so that I
soon able to move
Vj my right arm; before
long I could walk
across the room, and
when I had finished one dozen bottles
was cured completely and am as well as
ever. I now weigh 170.”
A Real Blood Remedy.
S.S.S. cures Scrofula, Cancer, Eczema,
and any form of blood troubles. If you
have a blood disease, take a blood medi

is recommended for nothing else. It

Boils
It is often difficult to convince peo
ple their blood is impure, until dread
ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof
ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of
the fact. It is wisdom now, or when
ever there is any indication of
Impure
blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and
prevent such eruptions and suffering.
“I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess,
red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at
tended me over seven weeks. When the
abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and
I thought I should not live through it. I
heard and read so much about Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and
my husband, who was suffering with
boils, took it also. It soon purified our
Blood
built me up and restored my health so
that, although the doctor said I would
not be able to work hard, I have since
done the work for 20 people. Hood’s Sar
saparilla cured my husband of the boils,
and we regard it a wonderful medicine.”
