Entered at I tie Post-office at Douglas Ga. as see.'iid-clasa mail matter. Fill I) \Y, JULY 3, Ih'Jff. Till'] KOI IITII. 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. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Aincunce in >iiis colunv. Only $3,00, For Ordinary.
