A certain old demijohn, whose capacity
we suppose, ranges from five to ten gal¬
lons, as the oCcn*»oi. demands, was heard
to remark on tho streets last Saturday,
that we havo plenty of anarchists here
at homo. This slur was flung at the Peo¬
ples’ party. A thoroughbred walking
distillery has no just grounds for making
use of any such remark “Anarchists!”
Well, we can acconnt for this remark,
as it was only an overcharge of $2 pop
skull.

The democratic party wants the assis¬

The Alabama Election.
From tho best information that
be had, Col. W. C. Oates and the
portion of the democratic ticket
elected.
Kolb, the Jeffersonite, is
fraud. Whether this be truo or not,
mains to be proven. If it is true
are enough good men in Alabama
straighten things oat. And if the
is not true, tho samo good people
put their seal of condemnation npon it.
Hurrah for Alabama ! If tho
people of our sister state want the
gold standard, wo are glad they have it.
Where the issues have been made
and square and intelligence has spoken
them, we say hurrah for intelligence,
right principles and moral courage
express them at all times and at
places.
And in conclusion we will say, that
the kind friends who draped our
doors had had this moral courage,
would have had the pleasure of
ing them personally and individually.
CARD OF THANKS.
To the party or parties, who were
thoughtful of us, and who draped
front doors in mourning, we tender
mosi pro found thanks,—for it is a
ifegtation of tho highest respect and

And ” 9 trust and pray, that when

will find a happy home in the sweet

WOMACK SQUIBS.
Womack, Ga., August 7, 1894.
,. Editor:
M r
'
It ! communication some time
su. it seems that 1 made use of
langua’ge that was very offensive to
a few of my dear democratic friends
—those who live in town, and I am
very sorry for their dear sake. But
as for the country people I don't
think an apology is necessary, for
all country people read the Bible,
and we allow our wives and children
to read the blessed Book of Tr.ith,
and if there is not more indecer cy
in tho Bible ’ in twenty-fivo places
than that used by me, I will agree to
go to Dodlevel and stay tho balance
of my life, where I fchii* . Mv. Comity
Democrat was born anu .oared, and
where he got his thinking-machine.
He says “political parties like soci¬
ety Well,that are judged largely by its morals.”
is one time he stum bled on
the truth if he never has the luck to
do so again . He savs, “purity in all
things and truthfulness must pre¬
vail.” T say Amon ! But I never
thought or dreamed of hearing such
language from a democratic stand¬
point. Surely Mr. County Demo¬
crat is getting one eye open a little.
Now, my brother Populists, let’s
fight gnats less and pray for County
Democrat more. I think a few pray¬
ers has just been now will fix him up. He
in the filth and mire of tho
democrats long enough; let’s pull
him out of tho mud, strip him and
wash all tho democratic filth off,
dess him in a populist garment,
anoint his eyes and put a new song
in his mouth.
Mr. Editor, I am inclined to be
liovo it was not tho harsh language
I used that hurt so much, but it was
tho truth and nothiug but tho truth,
that had tho sting which hurt. Some
folks can’t stand the truth. Again
I am referred to as a leader of a very
low class of populists. I am no
loader, I but a pusher.
wonder if Mr County Democrat
belongs to the class that Mr. Harri¬
son Liberty is leading around by tho
nose. I nope ho is not, for I would
bo ashamed of him if lie over got
iuto our party. I think they are
hard up for a speaker to address the
democrats of Clay, when they fall
back on Harrison Liberty,
Ho was advertised to divide timo
with any colored populist in the
county, but we have uo colored man
in our rauks who would degrade
himself in a manner to go iuto a joint
debate with him.
I used to think that Ben Harrison
was the least mau in God’s creation,
but the man who will try to defend
old Cleveland, and the present cou
gress, is tho smallest dwarf yet croa
ted in this, or any other world. Yet
there are men, who, for the sake of
a little bank accommodation, railroad
passes, office and government help,
that they will endorse every word,
thought, or anything else old Cleve¬
land. Tom Heed, John Sherman, or
Wall street sharks tell them.
Mr. C. K. Naiamore will
it Early county in the next
-ature, and our noble and gallant
it. M. Brown will defend old Clay’s
cause next term, and don’t you for¬
get it! S. G. C.
HOT SHOT
The church member who doesn’t vote e.s
he prays is a hypoevit
The old soldier is gradually learning who
his friends are. They are not among the
plug-hat, gold-cane crowd.
Cleveland and Pullman have formed a co¬
partnership and propoe - L —m the country
if the constitution and e.;. h last. -
“John Sherman” now occupies the demo
cratic side-board with as much grace as a
a prohibition preacher votes the democratic
ticket.
The people have been bossed, so long that
they hardly know how to act when they
lose the collar. They get used to being free
and prefer it though.
The average democrat is monstrous fraid
of a negro until election day and* then he
can stick closer to the colored man than a
brother. He is after the vote.
A man who would wilfully stuff a ballot
box would “raise a chicken” off the roost
after the sun was out of sight.
The man who is too cowardly to vote for
what he thinks is right has no place out of
the asylum for the weak minded. He is
no man—only a makeshift.
It is said that all of Bill Atkinson’s power
lies in his curls. The coming camp&igu
will bo apt to get them.
The democrats of Houston county are
strictly orthodox in their politics. Recently
a resolution was introduced into their exec¬
utive committee not to allow any democrat
to hear a populist speaker under any cir¬
cumstances. Democrats are not as free as
a slave, for they used to give the negro a
“pass" occasionally.—Ex.
Evans in the eyes of “those who control”
was a superauuated imbecile, unfit to be
governor. If that was the case with Gen¬
eral Evans in the eyes of ‘‘those who con¬
trol,” his followers are in the same boat with
him. They can have no respect tor them¬
selves or their cheif if they support such
outrages
Prof. W. C. McKenzie is in the city
looking after tho school interests. Have
you seen him ? If not, you should see
lxim at once, aud let him talk school mat¬
ters to you. Combine your efforts, put
your shoulders to the wheel and help
him to build up a school that will be an
honor to your town and county. It is
unnecessary for us to note tho ability of
Prof. McKenzie, as it is a well-known
fact what he did in the interest of the
school at Bluffton.
