THE DOUGLAS BREEZE. Entered ;it the Postoflice at Douglas Ga. as second-class mail matter. AI.UI'.KT <’. SWIO.tT. Kill tor. K. S, Sapp, Associate* Kditor. KWBAT Aj 8 AIM* rnhlilicrs. Official Organ of Coffee County 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 wo k on the Waycross Journal. The negroes of Coffee will never vote for Scab Wright for Governor. Editor Sweat is making the Douglas Breeze a sparkler.—B’w’k Times Adv. The Bree/.c-confidently predicts that Will Brantley will carry Wayne count;. The republicans of Clinch county have endorsed the democratic nomi nees from Governor to Coroner. Senator Ben Tillman has accepted a challenge for a “jint ’sprite” with a young republican lawyer of Chicago. The Douglas Breeze comes to us this week with six [rages anil greatly im proved typographically. Waycror.s Herald. Bewail d.-ics not seem to care a con tinental mill-cuss whether Watson is withdrawn from the vice-presidential race or not. 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 Southgate ; socialist labor, ; na tional silver, Bryan and Sewall; gold bug, Fainter and Buckner. Next! Sewall Not to Withdraw. Bath, Me., Sept. 14.—Arthur Sewall says he lias enough times answered the question concerning his withdraw al from the vice presidential candidacy and that he has answered it once and for all.

Admrx, 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 anapolis Journal B wheat.
