FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER II 1800.
six i*w;i;s.
Tim Breeze goes to its readers this
week in a larger and bet.er form. This
improvement was occasioned by the
increase in our advertising patronage.
The Breeze is now, without ques
tion, the largest and best newspaper
ever published in this county.
The improvement is permanent, at
least for a while, and if our patronage
increases two more pages will he add
ed to the Breeze, making it an eight
page paper.
We might also mention in this con
nection that we are very well pleased
at the growth of our subscription lists.
We expect, to he printing JOOl,l papers
a week by the Ist day of October.
A TIM ED V WARNING.
The Breeze desires this week to call
the attention of the leaders of the
Democratic party to the fact that no
stone should be left unturned for the
success of the democratic nominees
for county officers. The populists are
hard at work—on the sly, and we ad
monish the democrats to watch them
very closely.
We arc not sure hut that it is a mat
ter of more importance thaii any of
the other offices. This comes directly
home to every citizen of the county,
and the proper management of the
county government is of the utmost
importance. The Democratic party,
in the a Imiuistration of the affairs of
the state and of Coffee county, without
question, has shown its devotion to
the best interests of the people and its
superior ability to manage their gov
ernmental affairs.
The ticket nominated by the demo
cratic party is an excellent one and
must be elected.
John Temple Graves has sold out to
the prohi-pops.
Arkansas went democratic Monday
by a majority of 05,000.
Monday was Labor day. It was ob
served only in the larger cities.
The bnltoerats are preparing to open
campaign headquarters in C.iiengo.
Tom Watson and Banker Reed of
Georgia are talking populism to the
Texans this week.
It is officially stated that “it is
thought’’ Vice-president Stevenson
will make several speeches for Bryan
and Sewall in Illinois and other states.
It has become necessary in Tennes
see to call an extra session of the gen
eral assembly to provide means to
raise revenue to tide over till January.
The Horseshocrs’ Inion of Chicago
presented Mr. Bryan with a silver
horse shoe on Labor day as a token of i
their esteem and as an omen of good i
luck.
Sir. Bryan is booked for thirteen
speeches in the state of North Caroli- \
na. The populist stale chairman has ;
issued an inv.iation to his party to
turn out to hear him.
Hon. Clark Howell is in charge of
democratic headquarters at Washing
ton this week. Clarkie says the dem-;
oerats and populists will “get togeth- j
er” aud settle their differences in the
South before the election.
Kiias l.ott. democratic candidate for
representative of Citlce cuiimy,-has
writ-en a strong, manL letter setting:
forth his position on certain matters
iu which the populist, had misrepre-1
sented' him. No fault can he found
with his utterances. They were dem
ocratic and true aud will make him
votes. —Way cross Journal.

How do you like the improvement
in the Breeze?
A NON-PARTISAN ISSUE.
Dr. Candler writes a letter to the
Constitution in which he makes his
position very clear on the prohibition
question lie is a man that does not
stipple over small distinctions, and we
hope that the press will give these
utterances us much note as it did his
first. The letter is as follows:
Editor Constitution : —ln your issue
of August 31st, under the caption of
Why Disturb Local Option?” a cor
respondent draws an unwarranted in
ference from a recent utterance of
mine. He seems to think because I
am in favor of local option, J am op
posed to state prohioition. This is a
mistake 1 favor every form of prohi
bition we can get which closes the
saloon, whether it lie by local option,
i statute for the whole state or a con
stitutional amendment. The anti
barroom bill meets my approval, and
lias been earnestly advocated by me.
What 1 deprecate and oppose is the
entanglement of our cause with the
issues and fortunes of any political
party whatsoever. It. is stronger than
any party, because it lias friends in all
parties. It lias nothing to gain by
alliance with any party, and every
thing to lose. It must inevitably lose
in a partisan contest the active sup
port of the churches and the preachers
for they are excluded from any party
polities by the very charter of the
church as R is set forth in the New
Testament. 1 do sorely regret any
partisan agitation of this great moral
issue, ft means the injury of prohi
bition in Georgia. W. A. Can’u:ii.
Georgia’s tax rate for 1890 will be
the same us it was for 1895.
Brantley will address the voters of
Irwin county at Irwinville to-day.
In last week’s issue of the Douglas
Breeze appears a poem entitled “The
Song of the Milikiniles,” signed A. C.
S. The poem is well written, and
shows in good style what the pops
think will happen when Benny gets
to Congress. Their fond dreams how
ever, will never be realized, tor when
Ben Milikin gets to Congress, Jimp
son weeds will smell like cologne, buz
zards will suck the honey from the
flowers, and snakes will walk on two
legs like folks. In fact, when lie gets
to Congress there won’t be any.—Tel

GAFFNEY V/AS PLUCKY.
He Uved Alter a Silk Handkerchief Had
Been Drawn Through HU ISody.
“They are flanking the brigade
and charging the battery.”
The words were uttered by an
officer who had sufficiently recovered
from tlie stunning a gunshot wound
had given him to raise liis bead and
reply to tbe salutation of his brigade
commander. It took place on the
field of Antietam early in the day,
and the man who spoke was Edward
S. Bragg, then lieutenant colonel,
commanding a regiment. A bullet
had struck his arm, inflicting a pain
ful wound, paralyzing it.
General John Gibbon, the brigade
commander, was riding rapidly to
give directions to the battery when
ho saw Colonel Bragg lift up bis
head. “Ofd man, are you hurt? You
are very white,” said Gibbon.
“No. They are flanking tlio bri
gado and charging the battery.”
It was one of those occasions when
a lieutenant colonel presumed to
give directions to his general.
In a few minutes the colonel was
able to walk to tho field hospital.
Burgeon Bartlett and Bragg had
often bantered each other. When
Bartlett saw the colonel,ho said: “Bo
you have come to see me. Have
boon expecting all tho morning to ho
called ujion to amputate your head.
What is the matter, colonel?”
“I don’t know. If I did, I wouldn’t
oomo here. I want to find out.”
“Where are you hit?”
“In the arm. Can’t you see?”
“Is it broken?”
“Yon aro paid to tell me if it is
broken.”
The doctor took the limp, helpless,
hurt arm, felt of it hurriedly and
said, “Bragg, if any other man in
the army had been hit as you wore,
lio would have had a broken arm,
hut your arm isn’t broken.”
“Thank you. Tie this handker
chief around my nock and hitch it
to my hurt arm, doctor.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I am going back to the regiment. ”
“Better let me dress your wound
first.”
“Never mind tho wound. You
can dress that tomorrow.” And tho
plucky little warrior, who more than
earned all of his ranks from privat.o
to brigadier, rejoined liis fighting
and dreadfully decimated regiment.
On his way back the colonel saw
a man of his old company. “Hello,
Nick! What’s the matter?”
“I am shot, colonel. I’m going to
die.”
“No, Gaffney, you aro not going
to dio. Let mo soo your wound. ”
The hoy pointed to a blue spot oil
liis breast. “You’re all right, chick
en. ” Then the colonel put his baud
over the wound and said:
“Take a long breath.”
Poor Nick took a loug breath, hut
it hurt him like tho cut of a knife,
and tho colonel’s hand was covered
with blood. The shot had struck
him in thy breast and gone clear
through.
In tolling of tho incident years
afterward General Bragg said: “I
told the poor fellow he was all right,
hut I didn’t believe it. I didn’t see
then how a fellow shot through tho
lung could survive.
“Nick Gaffney is still living and
apparently a strong man. The sur
geon drew a silk handkerchief
through his body soon after ho went
to the hospital. It makes you shud
der, doesn't it? It made poor Niok
Gaffney wince, but he uttered no
sound. ”
Colonel Bragg remained with his
regiment tho balance of tho day, but
when tho battle was over the reac
tion came, and ho had to give up for
a time.—Chicago Times-Herald.
Old Map of Marylam! and Virginia.
At tho Peabody library is an old
map of Maryland and Virginia,
which is believed to date back to the
seventeenth oentury. The map has
a description of Maryland on one
leaf of the baok and a description of
Virginia on tho other leaf. It is
bound with a few blank pages, to
give it. stability, and was evidently
part of a larger work describing the
American colonies, as the pages are
numbered. “Baltimore town” is
situated between tho “Susquesa
banough” and Bush rivers. No es
pecial mention is made of it in the
description of the colony, in which
“St. Maries” figures as the chief
place. In addition to the Susque
hanna, with its queer spelling, tho
principal rivers aro named as tho
Patowmee, Patuxent, Anu Arundel,
alias Severn, Choptank, Nautoeoke
aud Pocomoke. Tobacco raising is
named as tbe principal source of
revenue in the colony, and it is
stated that trade was carried on
chiefiv by barter aud exchange. The
map was published in London.—Bal
timore Sun.
A Great Deal to Know.
A rather fine looking young man
ouoe applied to Disraeli for a posi
tion.
“I know, sir," Gaid the applicant
wistfully, “how little I know.”
“Dear me, ” said the great states
man, “as inuoh as that? Iheven’t
got half that distance yeti"
But he secured him a position
‘then and there.—London Answers-
