Official Organ of Coffee County :
FRIDAY, SEP i EM HER 2 5 ISM.
BRYAN AM) McKIMjBV TO MEET.
Major McKinley will have to come
out into the world and meet Mr. Bryan
in joint debate if he does not want to
offer offense to thousands of Chicago
workingmen who are determined to
hear the two candidates champion
their own causes face to face, that they
may judge for themselves as to tlm
merits of the campaign.
To bring about this meeting a peti
tion is being circulated which will be
submitted 10 the national committees
of both parties. Letters will accom
pany the petition addressed to both
Bryan and McKinley, urging them to
grant organized labor an opportunity
to bear both sides of the financial
question discussed by the principals
of the great political contest,
The petition is as follows:
We the undersigned members of
labfir orgonization of the city of
Chicago and vicinity believing that
an early and satisfactory settlement
of the financial policy of this country
is a matter of grout importance to the
wage earners, and that tho subject
should be studied diligently by every
workingman without.regard to.former
political affiliation or beliefs:
“And believing that the chosen
leaders of the two great political par
ties are the most eminently qualified
to explain to us their reasons for
claiming that the respective policies
which their parties advocate will prove
to bo of benefit, if adopted, to the ma
jority of tho people:
“Therefore, we unite in extending
to Hon. William McKinley, of Ohio,
and the lion. William J. Bryan, of
Nebraska, a most cordial invitation to
meet each other in joint debate upon
the financial question in the Coliseum
on the evening of October 17th, 1891).
or thereabouts.
“We desire, also, to hereby tender
them our sincere assurance that they
will be received and entertained by a
gathering of workingmen who are
anxious to hear the principals in this
great battle, as they are not satisfied
with the reports concerning the posi
tion of each which have appeared in
the partisan press. We pledge ourselves
to see that each and both of them
shall receive a cordial reception and
an impartial hearing on this occasion,
believing that the discussion will be of
great vfvluc to us as a matter of educa
tion on this most important subject.
We trust that having (his early notice
both gentlemen will lind it convenient
to grant us this favor.”
It is not believed that either candi
date can afford to ignore this petition.

The refusal of the Colquitt county
populists to indorse Mr. v ’eaborn
Wright, the candidate of their party
for governor, is significant. It indi
cates that they are uot satisfied with
their candidate, lie is a too recent
convert. They think he is trying to
ride into office upon their shoulders.
They are not satisfied that he could
bring about any of the which
promises. The prohibitionists al

IN MjIO SIN I!it IN DOUGLAS.
No town can expect to prosper where ;
effort to that end is not made ; hence !
all should give willing aid to every- ;
thing that tends to build up and en- j
banco the importance of his home
town. In such depressed times as!
these only live towns and cities pros- :
per; but it i a fact that live towns j
Can be made to prosper despite the j
unfavorable times. Towns with the
best natural advantages must taken,
back seat if devoid of public spirit and I
enterprise, or if they sit idle and ex
pect trade and business to come to
them unsolicited. Prosperity is the ■
result of inteligent effort and liberal |
use of printers ink, and growth is a
matter that rests with the citizens.
The Breeze makes a representative
showing for Douglas every week, but
if every business house in the town
would place an announcement in our
columns it would make a morefavora
ble impression on the public. We
offer this as a suggestion and trust
that our public spirited and intelli
gent business men will give it due
consideration.
We are much gratified to see the
people of Douglas alert in the matter
of a fine school. There is no place in
Wiregrass Georgia better suited for a
high school than D uig'us. It is high
md healthful, and is the center of a
largo scope of country that is much in
need of a High school such as is pro
posed. We trust that the enterprise
will he speedily pushed to completion,
and that we shall sec Douglas take on
a boom such as it has not known be
o e.—Waycross Journal.
Mr. Bryan feels sure of his election.
ILe said, in reference to the matter, a
few days ago: “I feel confident of
carrying New York state. About my
election I have never had any doubt.
1 have always felt that the American
people know that bimetallism is for
their best interests. Knowing Ibis
they will vote the silver ticket rather
than perpetuate the gold standard.”

Twenty
Years....
For more than twenty years
we have been telling- how
Scott's Emulsion overcomes the
excessive waste of the system,
puts on flesh, nourishes and
builds up the body, making it
the remedy for all wasting di
seases of adults and children,
but it isn’t possible for us to
tell the story in a mere stick
ful of newspaper type.
We have had prepared for
us by a physician a little book,
telling in easy words how and
why Scott’s Emulsion benefits,
and a postal card request will
be enough to have it sent to
you free. To-day would be a
good time to send for it.

DON’T SKIM MILK.
And, a Doctor Says the Children Will Be
Mach Healthier,
Not long since I read art 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 the
ground of greater healthfuluoss, less
labor, and economy.
This should bo borno in mind by
the mothers who “blow back tho
cream” when getting tho milk for
tho table—especially by the mothers
who pride themselves on making all
tlio butter that is used for the table
and who do it at the expense of poor
milk for table uso, much work and
littlo profit.
Don’t let us skim and skim the
milk from that ono cow on which
tho family depend for their daily
supply, hoarding every globule of
cream as though it would ho wasted
unless turned into butter. Have you
ever calculated bow much butter a
pitcher of cream would make, nd
how much labor also in tho skim
ming, preserving, churning, rinsing,
salting, working, “working over”
and packing down? From the ordi
nary cream pitcherful not enough
for an individual butter pat, but in
its natural state it would supply a
family of thro 1 or four for a gener
ous meal of cei’oals with pudding
and berrios.
Children usually profor cream on
their bread and potatoes rather than
butter or gravy, and as tho M. D.
lias said, how much moro healthful
and economical it would prove to
bo. Tho point of economy ought to
be emphasized, because to many
mothers it will prove the most po
tent in inducing them to make the
cliango, for some can sot beforo their
families the most indigestible and
laborious compounds, without trem
or of conscience, who would l’eol
that tlioy had committed an unpar
donable sin had they lacked in the
matter of economy.
Whenever I hear a mother brag
ging of tho quarts of milk she sells
(from ono cow), of tho cream sho
furnishes to a small boardinghouse,
or of her “butter exchange,” etc., I
know that she is robbing her family
and making indigestion and doctor’s
bills.
Such a ono warms over her pota
toes in milk of an ethereal hue, with
possibly a fow molecules of butter
as a bait, or, this proving unpalata
ble, even to throwing away, fries
them in lard or drippings. She
makes biscuit of baking powder,
lard, skimmilk or water, instead of
thick sour cream. Sho gives her
family milk most zealously skim-
mod for ton and coffeo, fruit and ce
roal puddings, principally because
sho felt that sho must bo and thought
that sho was economical.
But back of all this is tho moth
er’s ignorance of tho economy and
the “chemistry” of food and the
true relation of food to tho human
body. Because sho cannot soo how a
lard soaked doughnut could make a
“striko” in the “internal work
shop, ” sho believes it does not and
lays all tho ills of tho family to tho
weather or Providence.—Philadel
phia Press.
Auroras In the Arctic Regions.
The light was lessening day by
day, though tho beauty of Ibis ica
world did not wane. I think I nev
er felt tlie strength, the glory, of
silence so vividly as on tho 90tli of
tho month, standing on a rocky
height abovo tho hay. Across the
heavens beautiful auroras streamed
at frequent intervals in colors of
faint orange, green and blue, scarce
ly dimming tho myriads of brilliant
stars that glittorod in the deep blue
vault, which lightened to turquoiso
at the horizon. Majestic cliffs swept
away aoross the hay, with its shad
owy greenish blue bergs, all bathed
in one shimmering veil of transpar
ent gold from tho light of tho moon.
In a silenco that made tho heating
of the heart and tho pulsation of the
blood in tho veins seem almost audi
ble I was suddenly attracted by a
peculiar, occasional crackling sound.
I Presently the sound came very near,
and turning I perceived a yellowish'
j white object, about 3 feet in length,
! steadily approaching, tho little crea
; ture gradually circled about, until it
j paused 15 foot. away. As I had re
i mained motionless, its curiosity led
i it to sit down upon its haunches and
deliberately stare at mo. Twice it
I seated itself, and then, running bo
j 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 tlie citizen, “tho car I
rode home ou last night was so
crowded that peoplo, myself among
them, had to hang on by their eye- .
lids, so to speak. ’ ’
Tho street railway magnate went’
on writings
“So crowded, in fact, that the con
ductor was unable to collect all tho
fares.”
Tho magnate’s pen dropped to tho
floor. “What was tho nu mber of
that car?” he asked eagerly.—lndi
