To the Voters of Coffee County.
I recognize llic fact that my candi
dacy is being assaulted from e\oiy
point and in every possible way by
tlie populist of our county, and among
the charges that I hear preferred
against me are some probable false
hoods, consequently I deem it neces
sary to offer some explanation of my
position on some of the issues that
concern the voters of our county in
this campaign.
J hear it charged that I strongly favor
our City Court and that 1 have al
ways endorsed its service. Now, I
have this to say, and I say it fearlessly
and regardless of who has preached
contrary doctrine.
J have never expressed myself as
being in favor of our City Court.
Here is my position on this issue:
If I am elected and the people want
tliis court abolished and will \< xpn
themselves through the grand jury or
by petition J will every means to bas e
it abolished and if the majority of our
citiezns are satisfied with it then J
say let it alone. This is fairness, and
no man can can assume a different po
sition and serve his constituents satis
factorily.
I hear it charged also that I am in
sympathy with a clique or ring at
Douglas and that 1 was influenced to
make this race by it and by it alone.
This same element charges further
that I have always used nry influence
to prosper the’interest of said ring.
The following is a list from each
district that solicited my candidacy.
Willacoochcc —H L I'aulk and .1 S
Burns. Tanner—T (1 Hilliard, .1 (J
Carter and If L Hall. Woolen —J J
.lowers, wm. Minchew and C C Smith.
Pick,. .’.— l H I’etcrsoij... wiv, Souther
land and Leonard liyrd. Pearson —
Joe Bailey, Jeff Kirkland and l)r. Ju
lian. McDonald —Joe McDonald, B F
Griffis and F 1. nwcat. Douglas—B
Pi terson, Jim. Greer and .1 w Quincey.
Besides these were Jno. Fussell, Jno.
EcLcan, Henry Gutman, Marshall
Ashley, Dan Cole, Manning Douglas
and Others.
Now these are (lie names that influ
enced me to make this race and if you
call this the Douglas ring then that is
exactly what brought mo out
and if this is not the clique that they
say I am in sympathy with then all
parties that usj these charges as a
scheme against me will oblige me and
all who love the truth by “holding
their lips.” I donounee these charges
as being cowardly falsehoods.
This fi.ki l called the Douglas ring
is being used ns capital in this cam
paign is only an imaginary evil in the
minds of some our populist brethren
or rather a false notion begotten of
prejudice.
Now with reference to my politics
I will say that J stand by the princi
ples of my party as laid down in the
Chicago platform. My faith in these
principles is unalterable and 1 expect
to abide by this faith without fear or
favor. T hear it preached bv the pop
ulist element that 1 am and have al
ways been an advocate of the ‘ single
gold standard.” This proposition 1
class with the others and furthermore
defy any man to prove that
J have advocated it publicly or pri
vately.
1 do not profess to be as well versed
in National politics as some of our
populist brethren and for this reason
1 have not had a great deal to
say about it. T can promise in case 1
am elected to support the Free silver
candidate for I S Senator and this is
all any candidate can promise on that
score.
1 have always been a loyal citizen
of Coffee county and have never ad
vocated any policy or scheme with
reference to county or state govern
ment that I am ashamed to have
made public.
1 remain yours to serve.

Mr. and Mrs. A. C. Sweat desires
to extend their lieatfelt thanks to the
good people of Douglas who so kindly
assisted them in ministering to their
little daughter, Maggie, who died
Tuesday morniug. God rewards peo
ple hereafter for kindness of this kind,
Know Thyself.
In speaking of another’s faults,
Pray don’t forget your own ;
Remember those in a house of glass,
Should seldom throw a stone.
If we have nothing else to do,
But talk of those who sin,
’Tis better we commence at home,
And from their faults begin.
We have no right to judge a man
Until he is fairley tried;
Should we not like his company,
We know the world is wide ;
So many have faults-who has not?
The old as well as young!
Perhaps we may for aught we know,
Have fity to their one.
I'll tell you of a better plan,
You’ll find it works full well,
To try your own defect to cure
Before you others tell:
And tho I sometime hope to be,
No worse than some I know,
My own shortcomings bids me let
The faults of others go.
Then let us all when we commence,
To slander friend or foe,
Think of the harm our words may do,
To those we little know.
Remember curses sometimes like
Our chickens roost at home ;
Don’t speak of others faults until
We have none of our own.
