Official Organ of Coffee County 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. XIANV APPOINTMENTS MADE Brantley will Talk to Democrats in .SeptemlXT. Hon. W.

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 fair Enterprise. Not ice.

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- 61 m* a mFSPhJ* ii'ilPTj Hour .. -r, Ask ior it and ac ept no flour that has not ; brand.
