There is no doubt in the minds of those who have been studying the pol ities of the state that the leaders of the Populist and Republican parties have formed a combination to defeat the state Democratic ticket hi the coming October elections. Intimations of this were given many months agm and recent actions of these leaders, and the acquiescence of local leaders all over the state have thoroughly substantiated the idea. In our opinion, this is the purpose and end which the Republicans have held in view ever since the Popu list party has been in existence It has been one of their scheemes in the constant assistance they have rendered the Populist party to break if they could the Solid South. The Democratic phalanxes of the South have always been a menace to the Republicans of the North and they have used every method known to their] ingenuity to disintegrate this unswerving strength that has so stub bornly faced their selfish principles ever since the Southern states were, rescued from the carpet baggers after the war. The succes of the Populist party in the South has been an increasing delight to them from the very begin ing and they have laugh and in tlie : r sleeves at the brightening possibilities of the accomplishment of that pot h >bby they have so long cherished— of breaking the Solid South, and ar raying the Southern people against one another. • No home over was broken up by the slander of outsiders. It must be gin by dissention and discord within. No nation ever died from incursions without. All that have gone to pieces have dona so from internal wars and the liarrangues of their own people. The Republicans know tills and they rejoice to sec the South quarreling and fusing within itself, trying to carry two political parties that are at loggerheads; for as soon as they see the light is well balanced between the two, they will be the dog to step in and get the bone. Now, we have not one spark of en 'lWHy.toward any man in the Poptt 4y>.'"tnirt*ti i Some of them are among and all of them are especially those in Cof fee county. For our part, we expect to held them as friends and n igh bors. knowing full well that we are obliged to live together and that other wise than in unison and peace means the fate of that house which is divid ed against itself. This very fact, how ever, is one of the strong reasons why we as a people should not subscribe to the Populist doctrine or vote with the Populist party. In view of the purpose which the Republicans have in trying to divide our people and take oil'the spoils, it is the more Important why we should stand hv the Democratic party and pull together. Rut says some one, “the Democratic party is doing not! ing for us.” AW should like to ask what more the Pop ulist party can do. All that ever has been done for tis has been done by the Democratic party, and because dis sent ion has been sown in our ranks and we are, for that reason more than any other, in the throws of financial distress, ;s no good cause for us to u luindon the party which has liberated us from the evils that faced us after the war and made us strong in our very weakness. Outside of a few unreasonable schemes which never can be consu liiated. the Populist party promises us no more than the Democratic party, and every man in our county will ac knowledge that the Democratic prin ciples are what is best for our section and are just what he wants for the government of his own state; then, why will that same mau turn away from a party that is founded on those very'prineiples aml |foKo,v after one that promises, to cany out these ptin cipies. but which is infinitely less able to carry them out and which has noj better intention to do so than the! Democratic party. We admit that; the principles we love have not always j been maintained in the Democratic' party, but we must remember that we ; and you were the Democratic party when these failures were made, and if you have changed to the Populist you | arc the same person that you were ; as a Democrat and will he no better able to hold that party faultless and I j guiltless than you were to maintain so j j the Democratic party. Then what ! have you gained and what will you ■ gain by this charge? discord and, party strife with your nearest neigh- j bor, that is all. A quarrel with your home folks, is your sole answer. A fusion cf the Populists and Re publicans in a state ticket means ade- j termination to place Georgia once more under Republican rule ; for the Republican!! are to have two leading places on the ticket, whether whites or negroes we do not know, and the rest of the places go to the Populist, and there are strong reasons to believe thatCuffy will have his share of these. Whoever votes the Populist ticket will sec whflt he is doing for his state, and we warn every man in Coffee county —for you are our friends —to weigh this question and not to do what will enslave us to a party and its principles vviiice are entirely out of symyathy with our section and its people. The Jesup Sentim-l and Blackshear Hustler are punch'ng Judge Sweat with sharp slicks. How about it, J udge? We may have said so before, but we repeat that John Greer’s Douglas Breeze is one of the most readable pa pers that visits our sanctum.—Way cross Journal. We are yours exceed ingly much, sir. The McDonald and Douglas railroad is steadily improving in track and ef ficiency of management. Since the steel rail lias been put down it rides as well as other roads. Douglas is proud of her railroad. Fitzhugh Lee has been appoin'ed by the President Council General of the United States to Havannah, vice Roman 0. Wiljiams, resigned. Again Cleveland shows his generosity toward the Southern hero. A fusion lias been decided on be tween the populists and Republicans, in which the Republicans are to have two of the state house offices and the Populists the rest. We wonder how many poor Cliffy is to have. The olive has been grafted on a ju niper, apples on plums, a rose on an orange, peaches on myrtles, and mul berries and white grapes with peach es and apricots on the same stem, for as the buds are distinct, the stem fur nishes nutriment for all. The railroad pays the incidental fee this quarter for all children whose parents are employes of the Plant System, and resident in the city.— Wayerogs Journal. Mr. Plant is a great and generous man and his char acteristics permeate the great system which he beads. A man named Simmons is said to have declined to become the private secretary of a man named Green for a peculiar reason. The salary was tempting and the work would have been agreeable; but then, as he said, he could not bear the thought of sigu iug letters, “Green, per Simmons.” — I is. This is what happens when you light a tire : The phosphorus on a match is raised by friction to a temperature of 15 degrees Fahrenheit at which it ignites. It raises the temperature of the sulphur, if it be a sulphur match to 500 degrees, when the sulphur be gins to burn. The sulphur raises the heat to SIX) degrees, when the wood takes up the work and produces a temperature of 1,000 degrees at which the coal ignites.—Ex. The mileage of the blood circula tion reveals astounding facts. Says the Chicago News: It has been calcu lated that, assuming the heart to beat (>‘J times at ordinary heart pressure, the blood goes at the rate of 207 yards in a minute, or seven miles an hour. 108 miles a day and 01,320 miles a year. It a man 81 years v>f age could have had one single blood corpuscle floating in his blood all his life it would have traveled in that time 5,150,000 miles. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Abound in fiiis calami.
