• JAMES M. FREEMAk. EDITOR.
Entered at the Post-office in Douglas, Ga., as second-class mail matter.
SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER ioth, 1904.
Official Organ of Coffee County.
For President,
ALTON B. PARKER,
Of New York.
For Vice-President,
HENRY G. DAVIS,
Of West Virginia.
1
For County Treasurer.
At the Solicitation of friends I hereby
announce myself a candidate for County
Treasurer, Subject to the action of the
White Primary on September 14th. If I
am elected no one will regret huving sup
ported me. Respectfully,
COLUMBUS C. SMITH.
The Tifton Gazette very truth
fully remarks that ‘‘Before Day”
clubs and other dangerous meet
ings of that class can be prevented
by it prompt and rigid enforcement
of the vagrancy law. A working
negro has no time to get in mischief.
Some of Tom Watson’s sup
porters suggest that if he is not
elected he will keep Judge Parker
out of the white house. So, then,
J'hormis and his friends want
Roosevelt and social equality?
AVc are not surprised.
Some of the republican papers
of the North assert that Thomas
Watson’s speech of acceptance was
superior to Roosevelt’s platform.
That Watson, llearst & Co will
make good republicans we have be
lieved.
L Some foolish people with repub'
llican propensities assert that tro
ver Cleveland signed
|kuel en.acl.nunt that allowed the
tdrl’nVl. Then, if lie
power, w >_v .’--‘A ftol thr
presidents and congress
men passed and enforced a measure
to break them up? They have had
time enough.
Rending up on the news of the
day, last week, the Tifton Gazette
learns that a negro was lynched in
Wyoming Monday for cutting a
white girl with a knife. If this
lynching habit isn't checked, the
only place a negro will be safe is
in the cotton field or up a tree.
Thomas Watson’s History of the
South will not be looked for with
so much interest, now, that lie has
turned a traitor to the land he pro
fessed to love. When he put in to
beat Parker, in favor Roosevelt
and social equality he unmasked
himself. Being a populist or re
publican is no crime, but to turn
liis back on the south, for republi
can gold, is.
The negro who shot and killed*
Mrs. Barrows at Bronson, Fla.,
last week, in order that he might
assault her nineteen yeurold daugh
ter. was lynched last Tuesday.
Two negro men captured, tied him
hand and foot and turned him over
to the enraged white people, who
cut off his ears, after he had con
fessed to murdering Mrs. Barrows
and two other ladies, lie was
then tied to a tree and riddied
with bullets.
Three months ago Mr. J. N-.
Porter, a well known farmer of
Dougherty county had a fight with
a negro on his place and was bit
ten on the thumb of the right
hand by his antagonist. The
wound was not considered danger
ous at the time, but in a few days
it began to give great pain, al
though the best phycians in Al
bany and Atlanta treated the
wounded man, his arm and body
swelled to immense proportions,
causing death last week. Blood
poison had done its. work.
Money In It.
It pays to use our “Clifton" tlour.
It pays because it makes more and
better bread and biscuit—more de
licious. wholesome cake and pastry
—than any other kind of flour ever
miiled. One sack proves it. Get
a sack and know the facts.

Just A Word to the Public-
A rumor is on the streets that
since Mr. Sid Lott left the services
of this office that we should nojt be
able to keep our job printing up
to its standard. There was never
a greater mistake. The same type
and presses are here, and the same
manfourself with 36 years’ expe
rienc in the printing office) who
learned Mr. Lott all he knows
about job printing is here to su
pervise and help in the mechanical
department of this office. This
office is still superior in equipment
to any other in this section, and in
the printing of the paper and the
mechanical work in the job depart
ment the public will not know that
there has been any change. Air.
McElvin can do more with a press
than any other man in Coffee
county, and we will soon have him
the equal if not the superior in all
other branches of the business.
Then, besides our own knowledge
of the business we have two girls
who can be put into the office at
any time.
A Mother Dead-
Airs. T. B. Alarshall was sum
moned to the bedside of her mother
Airs. E. A. Freeman last week, but
arrived too late, her mother was
dead. She had been ur.well for
smug time, and was at the residence
of her daughter, Airs. 11. A. Pratt,
at Ilyatsville, Aid., a suburban vil
lage D. C. Airs.
1 will ffffcT ably fie gone
about one month. Her many
Liends here, who also knew Airs.
Freeman, sympathise with her in
her great bereavement.
The South Georgia Fair.
We are publishing an an
nouncement of the management of
the South Georgia Fair Associa
tion to be found in another column
today, and invite your attention to

should take some interest in this
fair, either in tire shape of individ
ual or county agricultural exhibits.
The latter would be preferable.
It would show the visitor at the
fair that Coffee county is not be
hind in enterprise or lacking in
agricultural resources. Suppose
some of our citizens take up this
matter at once.

Douglas, Ga., Sept, Sth, 1904.
Editor Breeze : I ask space in your
paper to state to my friends that I
am out of the race for clerk of the
Superior court of Coffee county. I
return my heartfelt thanks to each
one of you who so cordially tender
ed me your support. I shall never
cease to think of you kindly. I was
taken out of the race about as fol
lows as near as 1 can tell you. There
was a disposition upon the part of
many of my friends to get Mr.
Xewbern out of the race and also
many of his friends wanted me out
of the race. Neither of us nor our
friends would yield though often
requested to do so. At last it was
suggested that we submit our claims
to a committee of several gentlemen,
composed of an equal number of
friends of each of us. There were
so many candidates in the field for
the various offices and having good
and sufficient reasons to believe
that I would be kept in the race, I
at last yielded to the plan whether
wisely or not I anTnot now in posi
tion to say. Again thanking my
friends for their generous support.
I am yours truly,
J. R. Overman*.
