To-morrow is the glorious Fourth.
One hundied and twenty years ago
our fathers declared the American
colonies to be free and independent j
states. To-day we enjoy the most
- liberty of any people on the :
face of the globe. Is it meet for us .
to live in strife and turmoil and at
enmity with those whose blood with j
our blood was spilt to make us free,
or fliould we bow our beads in grate
ful acknowledgment for our blessed
condition and niise our voices in a uni
son <>f praise to those who decreed our
freedom a hundred and twenty years
ago? Let the morrow forget our dif
ferences on silver, gold and polities,
and let it revert to the days of broth
erly love, when heart was linked to
heart by a common bond of devotion
to one cause—our Liberty! and let
every soul echo,
"My country! ti- of thee
Sweet, hind nf liberty,
<lf thee J sina :
'Jk bund where my fathers died!
i % band of (he Pilgrim's pride!
Sjgrl'Ynin every mountain side
SRslj.ct freedom ring!"
or It ti Iti'IATKST M i l).
“Self-preservation is tlic first law of
nature.” The truth of this maxim
admitted, it becomes the duty
of a .people first to create such condi
tions that will insure the safety of
dveHoii and property.
Viewing the status of affairs that
has been prevalent in Police county
for the j Mint year, it occurs to us, and
it should he gravely considered bv
every good citizen of the county, that
we are much in need of a reform in
our county alfiurs, which will iusure a
better observance of those lirst princi
ples of government such as personal
safety and property protection.
Ho far as legislative enactment is
concerned it is hardly necessary to
note that we have sufficient law on
our statute books to preserve oar
peace a-tyl insure good order if those
lqws.f& enforced. The real condition
Ihatcohfronts the people of Code
county is not a lack of law, hut a lack
of enforcement of the laws we already
have. The crying need of tho hour
among us is a more ardent desire and
a greater effort on the part of our of
ficers to protect our penple from the
Uat*nt outrages that have been so
prevalent of recent date.
Ifrtr lire litJCrtHWpnseu to complain
of small matters, neither are we in
clined to exaggerate the gravity of our
situation. On the contrary, we should
like to suppress every unpleasant
fact that would tend to injure our
reputation as gord citizens, and in the
main, our people are law abiding and
peaceful. But as in every other com
munity, there is an element among
us ijaau watches the Mu'rmgaueU'r of
; gflauee,-aiid when runs low they
-pthr opportunity and make ,u
tv Uncomfortable for all. Suppress
ed accounts of their evil is what they
most desire, and low whisperings are
an incentive to their deviltry. Against
the outspoken sentiment of law abid
ing people they cannot stand, and
healthful expressions will bring our
officers to a sense of their duty; and
it is a menace to our safety in Coffee
county to allow this lawlessness on
the part of a few and this neglect on
the part of our officials to go further
uurebuked.
When fiends are allowed to terrify
public with promiscuous and dim
erous shooting, to defy the law and
of courts, to burn down pub
lic buildings, to commit depredations i
ou,private citizens by tearing down
fences and allowing stock to destroy
crops; when men stand out on the
public squares of a town and empty j
their lire arms at each other, and
when various and unaccountable of
feuv.s are committed against the law,
and when the officer, whose duty it is
to make some endeavor to suppress
these things, sits idly by and mind
his potato patch and talks polities
without any effort to apprehend the
uSty parties or to arrest those openly
""•A*&J-ay it is time for the people
shall have a state of af
es : tnHrery man will suffer,
foil ne tov 0 f our reputation
heels of then
abroad, for the safety of our citizens
at home, for the protection and sac-red
ness of our homes themselves, it is ]
necessary that we rise above person-;
al prejudice and party strife and put
ourselves into the hands of officers;
who will do their duty at any cost;
for it must not he forgotten that, af
ter all. we are one people, and what j
is go id or had affects us all alike.
The silverites had it all their own !
way.
Milnet of Dodge is a kicker of the i
long eit'ed variety.
________
Boise will he the mail. All right,
boys, let’s elect him.
Honestly is the best policy, for in
the end it will triumph
A good name is hotter than great
riches in gold or silver.
Now, let’s hush a while and let the
June hie s have a chance.
To-morrow is the Fourth. Be rev
erent, grateful and joyous.
Mr. Watson has called the Populist
State convention for August <l,
Will Brantley tvi’l he the youngest
congressman in the Georgia delega
tion.
The free silver show at Macon had
an attentive audience in the Elev
enth district.
At the State convention, the Kiev
entli district was like a setting of gold
in pictures of silver.
Brantley will help the democrats
No their county elections in many of
the counties of this district.
If chairman Olay had not inter
vened, Milner would have told a tale
out of school on Capt. Howell.
Locally, Democracy is allright.
Nationally, “Fate you well, Brother
Crawford.”—Georgia Cracker.
Five years lienee, don’t let the de
mocracy of Georgia charge the Elev
enth district with any of that folly at
Macon.
Thomas E. Watson is writing a his
tory of France. His first volume is
now in tin l press. His object is to
teach political economy.
If nails continue to rise in price it
will be well to advocate a free
and unlimited coinage of the produc
tion before the fad is over,
Milner of Dodge will be remember
ed as the mail who agreed to one
course in the caucus and pursued
another in the convention.
A prominent gentleman remarked
that candidates at the State Conven
tion were as thick as tiddlers in Hades.
We did not know that the musicians
had any orchestras down there.
The business of the state conven
tion was rushed through in less than
four hours Silverites do not deliber
ate long. We fear it is too character
istic of that faction of the Democratic
party.
Mr. Walsh is quoted as saying that
the Democrats and l’opulists are vir
tually one, since the former have
adopted free silver as its creed.
Whether or not Air, Walsh said this,
somebody told a courageous truth.
Teller the Republican bolter who is
being boomed for the democratic
presidential nomination, says lie does
not desire the nomination, and very
sensibly suggests that there are plen
ty of free silver democrats that de
serve the honor.
Capt. Milikin thinks that it is a
; matter of small import whether or
not Gov. Atkinson acted dishonorably
with the northern syndicates in the
sale of our state bonds, so long as he
made a few dollars for the state. In
other words, Capt. Milikin would sell
honor and integrity for dollars. We
j have had men like Capt. Milikin ever
since the days of Judas Iscariot: and
yet there are men in the Eleventh
'district who would vote for him for
congress.

A Chance lo Make Money.
I have berries, grapes and peaches,
a year old' fresh as when picked. I
use the Californio process, do not heat
or seal the fruit, just put it up cold,
keeps perfectly fresh, and costs almost
nothing; can put up a bushel in ten
minutes. Last week I sold direction
to over 120 families: anyone will pay
a dollar for directions, when they see
the beautiful samples of fruit. ' A
there are many people pour like myself.
I consider it my duty to give my expe
rience to such, and feel confident any
one can make one or two hundred dol
lars round home in a few days. I will
mail sample of fruit and complete di
rectious. to any one of your readers, for
eighteen two-cent stamps, which is only
the actual cost of the samples, postage,
