In the header of hist week appears the following announcement: "We the citizens of Coffee county, have decided to run Mr. E. lannei fur representative on the wet ticket by his consent, and promise if his friends will elect him to fulfill the du ties and if it is the desire of the ma jority of the people for the sale cf whiskey in Coffee county that he will try to pass the act for the sale of it.” “Many Voters.” Well, we do not deny the legal right of “Many Voters” to place acandidatc before the people on t ie “wet” plat form, and it is the prerogative of Mr. Elijah Tanner to gobble up this little moral offered him under the cover of this inflated pseudonym. In presuming to come before the good people of Coffee county with such a plea for position, however, we predict that "Many Voters” and Mr. Tanner will have a rough road to travel before he "draws up” at the Capitol, and we promise, now, that we shall make no endeavor to dear lip the stumps in front of his hand wagon. Mr.Tanner is an old citizen of Coffee county, lie has lived here all his life, has reared a large family, been fairly successful In a material way, enjoyed the respect of his fellow nu n and has wielded a potent influ ence in county affairs, having once represented the county as a democrat in the 1 gislature, since which he has espoused the populist cause. Now, he denounces both parties, repudiates all doe 1 line and liberates his aged wings *o fly into ofliee on the ‘•inde pendence” and "freedom ' of the li quor traffic. Air-Tanner is an old man and fo this reason we (being young) shall be severely criticised by some for mak ing a fight against him ; hilt he and his friends must remember that, in placing himself in this position, he has left his private Staton and is sub ject to attacks as a public man ; and bolding the portion that we do as a censor of public action, we transgress no reverence for age when we indulge in criticisms concerning his public actions. Mr. Tanner has been present through nearly all the stages of development in Codec county, lie can remember v.hen the Indians were not yet driven outofthis part of the country. He was among the pioneers who fell the forests and erected the primeval huts which sheltered our forefathers long years ago. When every man was lord of all he surveyed, and win n there was no such a thing as the liquor traffic. Every man made his own whiskey and kept it in his house as free ns water to all who desired it There was very little drunkness then because there were no idlers. Every man had to work, and working men do not have time to get drunk. Years developed a generatian. bow eyer, which had more leasure, and when the towns sprung up and a tax was levied on the manufacture of spirits, the barroom made its advent and became the rendezvous for the idle. Air. Tanner recollects too well liow a large per cent of our popula tion frequented these places, spent their hard earnings, stripped their homes, their wives and children of all that had been saved up, to spend for rum at the town liquor shop. How they would lie on the street day and night, beastly drunk, how they would tight and curse and terrify all decency into a pandemonium of fright, our women and children having to shut up in closets and to hide in secret places to ward off' the beastly iusuUs of men maddened with liquor. We have seen all this and so has Mr. Tanner. This is what he would briug back to the people of Coffee if he could. For nearly fifteen years we have had local option in our county, and for that length of time we have had almost a continuous reign of peace. At odd times the jugs have become too numerous and trouble ensued; but this has hc/rv growing beautifully less and the ante bar-room bill will virtually eliminate that. Our people are, prosper ,us and their credit is the very lest. Where one man could get credit fifteen years ago, ten can get it to day. Our women and chil dren are fed and clothed with plenty' and in every sense Coffee county is a lovely place to inhabit. This is what Mr. Tanner would endeavor to destroy, but lie will learn that his people think more of t heir homes than they do of sending him to the legislature, and so we shall continue to enjoy our peace, and lie, an old man, will retire to his last years to regret his action. Coffee is a dry county and is likely to slay so. The Chicago convention will hardly b i styled an Argouautic expedition. Wuycross will have a big Trades Day on the Ith of July. Waycross is an eternal hustler. The Waycross Herald is brighten ing daily. Defeat is a stimulous to Editor Fcrharn. Vivien Castane (Mrs. It. It. Holtz endorf of Brunswick) is one of the sweetest poets in Georgia. If music l ath charmcs to sooth the savage breast, it will be well to have a band at the Chicago convention. There may he a man in Brunswick who feels certain that he could fill Capl. Turner's shoes, but he never was more, mistaken in his life.—Tifton Ga zette, 'The editor the Jacksonville Metrop olis begins an editorial by saying “The Bible tells us that ‘a good name is bet ter than precious ointment.’ ” Igno rance of the Scriptures is hardly excus able in an editor. Whoever has felt the reveling sen sation of a six pound trout on the ul timate end of a twenty foot line strung tastily on a limber pole, knows and appreciates the joy of life and the divine sweets of summer. Last V 1 sday at 4 o’clock the Fifty-fourth congress gently, quietly, almost without incident closed its session and passed into history, and now we shall weep for that sprightly journal,the Congressional Record. To the populist party greeting: Dear prodigals—Como back into the Dem ocratic party where you belong; but if you can’t do that, tl.cn just hands oil. and you’ll toe us give the Repub licans the allliredest lickin’ they have toted since the war.—Tifton Gazette. The Gazette makes the prediction that no one living to-day will ever seethe free and unlimited coinage ol silver at the ratio of 111 to l become a law in the United States. This may be discouraging to our free silver friends, but they may bank on its cor rectness. —Tifton Gazette. Representative Turner has no cause to fonr any combination against him in his district. He is too grand a man, too much of a statesman and too highly appreciated by his constituents to be defeated by a coalition of pop ulists ami free silverites. The peo ple will see to it that he is sent back to congress by a gratifying majority.— Waycross Herald. Judge Turner lives in and repre sents a sound money district, one of only two or three districts in the state which is led by men who are patriot ic enough to lead his constituency to battle for true democratic principles. —Telfair Enterprise. You are right Brother, and he will continue to lead the Eleventh in spite of hoboes and tiddie-de-winks. Editor Greer of the Dougins Breeze tells how remocra s who believe in the gold standard may consistently support the nominees without doing violence to themselves. That, howev er is not the question. Can a Demo crat be loyal to his party, all the time using the argument of its opposition to show that it is wrong? Brunswick E. A. “Be true to thyself and thou canst not be false to any man", and we might add,to any party. Would Edit or Wrench claim that he was uuloyal to his favorite son in opposing that son in a ruinous policy, using the ar guments of his son's opponent to con vince the boy! ANNOUNCEMENTS.
