THJ-J 001.0 it LINE. 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. J. Burns. Minstrels Coming. The Willacooehee minstrels will perform at Douglas in the near future and we can assure the people of our sister • town that they can look out .for two full hours of innocent, solid fun. white the faces of the perform ers will be smutty, yet, there will not 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.
