FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18 189 C.
I Alt KKKCTIONS.
The ,cry of the Populists for fair
(dections is wholly a superfluous and
unnecessary appeal, and intended to
have an effect on those who have not
looked into the matter and the igno
rant classes who are, at all times, ready
to believe that they are being oppress
ed.
The very things sought, or pretend
ed to be sought, by the Populist party
in our county have always been will
ingly granted in all election that have
been held since the populist party has
been in existence. At the last elec
tion in the Douglas district the sou of
the candidate for Representative on
the Populist ticket was chosen and
served as one of the election holders.
Furthermore, a division of managers
has never been refused and the popu
lists'have selected such men as they
desired to represent them and look
after their interests on such occasions.
Thm being the tiuth, and the popu
lists will not deny it, it seems strange
that any charge that our elections
have been unfair should be made at
this late day. if anything unfair had
ever been attempted it was the duty
of the populist managers to herald the
fact to the world. They made no
charges, contested no elections and it
is fair to presume that nothing unfair
lias been done.
The Breeze is heartily in favor of
giving the populists half the managers
in the coming elections, and then if
there is any fraud or ballot box stuff
ing they will be particeps crimiuis.
AVe have never accused the populists
of cheating the democrats in an elec
tion in Coffee, and we do not believe
the populists arc sincere in their doubts
of democratic fairness this time. As
we said in the outset it is a campaign
trick to catcth the ignorant voter.
That Indianapolis crowd is the one
‘‘that stole the livery of heaven to
light the devil’s battles in.”
VOTE THE STRAIGHT TICKET,
We hope every democrat in the
county will vote the straight demo
cratic ticket from Bryan to Sibbett,
from president to coroner in the forth
coming elections. The nominees of
the Democratic party in Coffee county
are all good and true men, and, so far
as the Breeze knows, no had charges
have been made against any of them.
It is the duty of every loyal demo
crat to lay aside his personal feelings
and vote the straight nominees of his
party. We hope there will be no
scratching of tickets among democrats
this time. Stand by the grand old
Democratic party as it has stood by
you and your family.
Bury the populist party and we will
have peace and tranquility in Coffee
county once more.
Vote the straight ticket.
The head of the populist party is
gone and local organization cannot
survive another defeat. Vote for
democracy and harmony.
liy Ho Is (Y.r Atkinson.
Iu a speech delivered at the big
democratic rally at Gainesville last
Saturday Hon. Robert L. Berner said :
‘•I am for Atkinson because he is
brave and true. He lias given us a
clear-cut administration, hesitating at
no time to do his duty regardless of
consequences. He has met every cri
sis with fairness and justice. In the
treatment of the convict lease system
he was brave and true. He has known
no race nor color. Fair, impartial
and brave, he has stood by all. It is
the dut.v of Georgia to stand by Gov
ernor Atkinson.”
Vote for democracy and harmony.
John Greer is doing some goed

The democrats of Pierce wilj hold
a rally at Blackshcar on the 25th inst.
Governor Atkinson has promised to
be there. Hope Bro. Byrd will enjoy
the dinner.
The populist party has created more
discord and sttife in Coffee county
than uyy other party. A vote for
democracy is a vote /or harmony
among our people.
Uncle Elien says when ho has plen
ty of gold lie is a republican, and
when lie has plenty 3 of silver he is a
democrat, and when lie hasn’t got a
darn cent lie is a pop.
'l’lie populists have been distribut
ing circulars among tbe negroes show
ing a white man killing a negro.
Such campaigning is'unworthy of a
Southern white man.
If the democrats win in the ap
proaching election the populist party
will never liye to create strife and
trouble in another election. Vote for
democracy and harmony.
The Indianapolis presidential ticket
makes the eighth ticket nonynated.
The list to date is as follows: Demo
cratic ticket, Bryan and Bewail; repub
lican, McKinley and Hobart; populist
Bryan and Watson ; prohibition, Lev
ering and Jones; national, Beatty and

DON’T SKIM MILK.
And, a Doctor Say, th® Children Will
Much Heal tiller.
Not long since I read an able and
interesting article from a standard
M. D. that was certainly very
flattering to my grandmother’s good
sense in her use of cream, advoca
ting it in the place of butter, on tbe
ground of greater hoalthfuhiess, less
labor, and economy.
This should be borne in mind by
tbe mothers who “blow back the
cream” wlfen getting the milk for
the table—especially by the mothers
who pride themselves on making all
tbe butter that is used for tho table
and who do it at tho expense of poor
milk for tablo use, much work and
littlo profit.
Don’t let us skim and skim the
milk from that one cow on which
tho family depend for their daily
supply, hoarding every globule of
cream as though it would bo wasted
unless turned into butter. Have you
evor calculated bow much butter a
pitcher of cream would make, and
how much labor also in tbe skim
ming, preserving, churning, rinsing,
salting, working, “working over”
and packing down? From tho ordi
nary cream pitcherful not enough
for an individual butter pat, but in
its natural state it would supply a
family of thro -- or four for a gener
ous meal of eoroals with pudding
and berries.
Children usually prefer cream on
their broad and potatoos rather than
butter or gravy, and as the M. D.
lias said, how much more healthful
and economical it would prove to
be. The point of economy ought to
bo emphasized, because to many
mothers it will prove tho most po
tent in inducing them to make the
cliango, for some can sot before their
families the most indigestible and
laborious compounds, without trem
or of conscience, who would feel
that they had committed an unpar
donable sin bad they lacked in tho
matter of economy.
Whenever I hear a mother brag
ging of the quarts of milk sho sells
(from one cow), of the cream she
furnishes to a small boardinghouse,
or of her “butter exchange," etc., I
know that sho is robbing her family
and making indigestion and doctor’s
bills.
Bueli a one warms over lier pota
toes in milk of an ethereal hue, with
possibly a few molecules of butter
as a bait, or, this proving unpalata
ble, oven to throwing axvay, fries
them in lard or drippings. She
makes biscuit of baking powder,
lard, skiminilk or water, instead of
thick sour cream. She gives her
family milk most zealously skim
med for tea and coffee, fruit and ce
real puddings, principally because
sho felt that she must bo and thought
that sho was economical.
But back of all this is tho moth
er’s ignorance of the economy and
tho “chemistry” of food and the
true relation of food to tho human
body. Because sho cannot see how a
lard soaked doughnut could make a
“strike” in the “internal work
shop, ” sho believes it does not and
lays all the ills of the family to the
weather or Providence.—Philadel
phia Press.
Auroras In the Arctic Regions.
Tlio light was lessening day by
day, though tho beauty of this ice
world did not wane. I think I nev
er felt the strength, the glory, of
silohoo so vividly as on tho 2Gtli of
tho month, standing on a rocky
height above the bay. Across tho
heavens beautiful auroras streamed
at frequent intervals in colors of
faint orange, green and bluo, scarce
ly dimming the myriads of brilliant
stars that glittered in the deep blue
vault, which lightened to turquoise
at tho horizon. Majestic cliffs swept
away across the bay, with its shad
owy greenish blue bergs, all bathed
in one shimmering veil of transpar
ent gold from the light of tho moon.
In a silence that made the beating
of the heart and the pulsation of the
blood in the veins seem almost audi
ble I was suddenly attracted by a
peculiar, occasional crackling sound.
Presently tbe sound came very near,
and turning I perceived a yellowish
white object, about 3 feet in length,
steadily approaching, tho littlo crea
ture gradually circled about, until it
paused 13 feet away. As I had re
mained motionless, its curiosity led
it to sit down upon its haunches and
deliberately stare at me. Twice it
seated itself, and then, running be
hind a bowlder, peeped over the
edge, until, satisfied or alarmed, it
disappeared. It was an arctic fox.
—Frank Wilbert Stokes in Century.
Suddenly Aroused Interest.
“Sir,” said tho citizen, “the ear I
rodo homo on last night was so
crowded that people, myself among
them, had to hang on by tlieir eye
lids, so to speak.”
Tbe street railway magnate w.ent
on writing.
“So crowded, in fact, that the con
ductor was unable to collect all the
fares.”
The magnate’s pen dropped to the
floor. “What was the number of
that car?” be asked eagerly.—lndi
