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. —A. C. S. Douglas, Ga., Aug. -1. The democratic band wagon will be in Douglas Saturday. Every citizen of Codec county is invited to attend the Democratic ral ly at Douglas Saturday Aug. "it). Re member the date. 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 las* Come to Douglas Saturday. 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.
