Tbi> prohibitionists of Georgia arc
making the mistake of their lives by
antagonizing the Democratic party,
To Democracy is due the glory and
honor of putting whiskey out of one
hundred of the counties of Georgia,
and the Democratic party is the only
party that can oust the barroom from
the other thirty-seven counties.
The last legislature was democratic
and it lacked only a few votes of pass
ing the Rush bill; and with just a lit
tle effort the prohibitionists could have
controlled tho next legislature and
had things their own way. But in
stead of that they have fused with the
populists (who ever heard of the pops
being prohibitionists before) and open
ed fire on the only party that can ever
pass a prohibitionist law.
Another thing, the recent, turn of
affairs may cause prohibition demo
crats to postpone voting for prohibi
tion until a more agreeable and con
venient lime. This will likely be the
case with a great many, but the Breeze
hopes to see the democrats step in
ahead of the prohi-pops and pass a
prohibition law next October.
The populist party lias popped.
Don’t forget the big rally and bar
becue on the 2'Jth.
The Democrats of Texas became
confused and refused to fuse with the
pops.
lu some states the pops are helping
the democrats “cuss" the republicans
and iu others they are helping the
republicans “cuss” the democrats.
The price of cut nails has been ad
vanced in the last eight months about
228 per cent, still you will find men
occasionally who favor a high tariff.
George H. Miller of Chatham is the
populist nominee for congress in the
First district. He couldn’t keep in
eight of Rufus Lester on the belated
fragment of a Kansas cyclone.
They tell us that Secretary Carlisle
is having a whole lot of one dollar
hills printed. A one dollar hill just
fits the subscription price of the Breeze,
by Ned. and we trust he will print
enough for all our delinquents to pay
up their arrearages.
THE SONG OE THE MIGIIUMTES.
When Benny gets to Congress and the |
boom begins to boom,
All the huckleberry bushes with blood
oranges will bloom ;
And the leaves upon the maples incur
valleys, on our hills,
Will all be greenback currency and all
ten dollar bills;
For he'll repair the government and
mend the crack of doom—
When Benny gets to Congress and the
Ijoom begins to boom.
When Benny gets to Congress and the
boom begins to boom,
Then the sun will shine at midnight
and we’ll have no evening gloom, j
For when Benny gets to Congress lie’ll
buy up all the trains,
And we’ll ride with him to Washington
and marvel at his brains ;
We’ll wear Oolconda jewels and pearls;
from Indian seas,
And we ll paint the town Vermillion
just whenever we durn please.
And we’ll live on Turkish carpets, night
and day, in our front room, —
When Benny gets to Congress and the ,
boom 1/ gins to boom.
When Bonny gi ts to Congress and the
boom begins to boom,
Then we’ll abolish poverty, eliminate
the tomb,
Dispense with hearse and coffin and
undertaker’s box,
And make good health contagious as
the measels or small pox ;
And while Plenty’s cornucopia pours
forth her lavish store
We will pledge our sacred honor that
we won’t work any more;
But we’ll live a glad existence, happy
as a hii.le and groom—
When Benny gets to Congress and the
boom begins to boom.
When Benny gets to Congress and the
boom begins to boom,
Wo will weave a web of glory from
Time’s ever-roaring loom;
VVe will 101 l on beds of Mowers, gazing
at the summer sky,
And our pantries groan with anguish
from their plethora of pie,
A nd we’ll cheer the hearts that languish
and revive the hopes that droop,
With syrup and ambrosia and with
quail and turtle soup;
For he’ll repair the government and
mend the crack of doom—
When Benny gets to Congress and the
boom begins to boom.

Support The Ticket
Hon. Hoke Smith, writing to a com
mittee in Augusta, sums up the duty
duty of democrats, in the following
words:
•1 had occasion to say that when
the national democratic convention
named candidates for President and
Vice-President, no matter what might
he the action of the convention upon
the financial question, all democrats
should support the nominees. This
position I then believed to be correct,
and 1 am prepared to sustain it with
equal sincerity now.
“The democratic party does not eon
line its platform to the single issue,
nor will their power to serve the peo
ple cease with the solution of that
issue. It stauds for just taxation, for
the suppression of monopolies and
trusts, for government according to
the terms of the constitution, for the
representation of the plain people of
the land. With us Georgians it stands
for honesty and capacity in tire man
agement of our state and county af
fairs for defense of property, home and
persons.
“Democrats who fail to vote for the
national democratic ticket strike a
blow at democratic state organization.
1 urge each democrat to vote for Bry- j
an and Sewall, even though he may
have iu no wise participated iu the
selection of delegates to the Chicago
convention. 1 can scarcely feel that
it is necessary to urge the support
from those Georgians who took part
in the selection of delegates. For my
self, I consider that my action when
delegates were being chosen fully
committed me to support the nomi
nees.”
The scent of barbecued meats is
permeating the air round about Doug

COLLECTING BIRCISKIN3.
fcome Uinta For Those Who Think of En
gaffinjf In the Pastime.
B. 11. Warren, state zoologist of
Pennsylvania, tells in bulletin No. C
how to collect, skin, preserve and
mount birds. The collector, having,
of course, a permit granted by the
state in which he lives, starts out
after his birds with the best shotgun
ho can procure. Usually it is al2
gauge, but a 10 or 20 bore is prefer
able, and be should have shells load
ed with shot of a size for anything
from a warbler to an eagle. An aux
iliary barrel that will shoot a 22 or
38 caliber shot shell is also useful,
and a metal tube five or six inches
long to fit into tho gun barrel the
same as a cartridge, loaded with 22
caliber shot shells, is also usoful for
small birds like tho warblers. Smoke
less powder is best for the 32, 38 and
22 caliber shells, because it makes
little noise to disturb tho other birds
in tho vicinity.
To carry tho specimens a good
sized fish basket is best, each spocies
being wrapped in paper carefully
and groat care being taken that tho
tail feathers are not broken. When
several large birds are taken, it is
best to skin but tho body, leaving tho
wings, logs and head whole. Of
course under such circumstances
facts about tho bird are jotted down
in the notebook. The notebook
should ho kept in ink, because a pen
cil mark blurs easily. When a bird
is shot, it should be picked up by
the legs or bill unless it is a crippled
heron, hawk or owl. The wounded
birds are killed by pressing the heart
from either side close to the wings.
All wounds and openings aro stop
ped with cotton toprovont thoplum
ago being spoiled.
To bo of value oaoli specimen
should bo labeled with the name,
sox, date and looality, especially in
the case of young birds, since an
adult can always ho identified. The
namo of the collector, color of tho
bird’s eyes and contents of its stom
ach may also ho put on tho label, be
sides abbreviations indicating adult
(ad.) or immature (g. or yuv.) and
tho stato of tho plumage, whether
nuptial (nupt.) or migratory. “JHor
not” means a yearling bird.
Tho averago collector, man or wo
man who from a love of naturo
seeks the fields will not care to do
more than skin tho birds, leaving it
to some regular taxidermist to mouat
them. For skinning birds and blow
ing oggs six instruments aro needed
—namely, a pair of spring forceps,
an egg drill, a cartridge knife, a pair
of surgical scissors, a pair of stuffing
forceps and a blowpipe to blow tho
oggs. Any taxidermist will show
how to skin a bird far bettor than
words can describe tho process.
Onoo secured, tho bird skin is pre
served with common salt if at a dis
tance from the taxidermist, as in a
camp, for instance.
Tho oggs are blown through a sin
gle hole in the side, not through the
hole in each end, after tho usual style
with hens’ oggs. A small circular
hole is drilled through tho shell; a
small wire is inserted to break the
contents; then tho blowpipe is in
serted, and, with tho hole down, a
gentle, steady blowing insures tho
cleansing of tho egg.
For Sheriff.
1 hereby announce myself a candi
date for Sheriff to run on the independ
ant ticket-. 1 respectfully ask the sup
port of the citizens of tho comity re
gardless of party or color.
