Pinebloom, Ga. July 14, ’!)(>.
Editor Breeze,
I do not for one moment question
the honesty of purpose on the part of
the willacooehee Courier in its com
ments on the action of the county exec
utive committee, in drawing the coUr
line as to the management of our pri
mary ; but it seems that our costly
periencein the past is a sufficient les
son for all true democrats no longer to
waste precious oil on the troubled wa
ters of our antagonists, I most heart
ily agree with the Courier as to our
candidates all being good men, but
are we not to consider the individual
strength and capabilities of these men,
and select tho-e who will guarantee
the greatest satisfaction to the party?
If we allow negroes under populist or
republican influence to vote in our
primary, they would see that our weak
est and most incompetent candidates
were nominated, then vole solidly a
gainst them in October.
Ithasbeen the ‘ milk and water”
policy of the democratic party and the
democratic press that has brought true
democracy to almost irretrievable, ru
in. This policy 1 have condemned
from the very incipiency of populism,
and had this line been rigidly drawn
four years ago and held squarely up to
the mark of pure democracy, to-day
the result would have been quite dif
ferent. 1 liousards of good men would
have come to a dead halt in approach
ing a line of this character and given
careful thought to the situation before
attempting to cross a gulf of such vast
and heretical- proportions, and such
careful thought would no doubt have
dispelled their temporary delusions,
and the would-be victims of false
prophets rescued by a rational appeal
to reason and justice.

Minstrels Coming.
The Willacooehee minstrels will
perform at Douglas in the near future
and we can assure the people of our

be a smutty expression used during
rhe performance. The program will
consist of vocal an instrumental music,
original gags, old plantation scenes,
dancing, funny sketches, etc.—Courier.
We are authorized to announce that
the willaeooohee minstrels will play
in Douglas at the court house on Fri
day luly 24. If you want to forget
haul times and pobics don't forget
the date. Come and laugh yourself
fat. The price will be small.

Inez, little daughter of Dr. and
Mrs. N. A. Friar after a few weeks of
intense suffering hurried away from

to all that knew her. She possessed u
very unselfish and loving deposition.

“In his arms he’ll take and shield
thee; Thou wilt find a s,dace there.”
