The campaign for State and County
ofiieers will soon draw to a close and
be numbered with the things of the
past. The Breeze desires that the
great importance of democratic uc
cess be thoroughly understood and
appreciated by every democrat in
Coffee county, for in the success of
the democratic ticket, from Atkinson
to Sibbett, lies the hope of our people
for peace and harmony hereafter.
Some will say this proposition is far
fetched and without foundation, but.
friends, let us reason this way: the
head of the populist party is gone—
dead—and the local organization can
not survive another defeat, and with
the populist party out of the way our
people would again be united; we
would all fight under the same banner
and the next election in Coflee county
would be a quiet affair, devoid of strife
and discord. Bud fellings and malice
would soon dio out.** liquor would no
longer be a factor in our elections, and
in fact, perfect peace and harmony
would be restored. All this can be
accomplished if every democrat- will
lay aside his prejudices and vote the
STRAIGHT ticket,
The nominees of the Populist patty
cannot promise the people auy good
thing that the democrats do not prom
ise. There is now no issue between
them ; and the only thing that holds
the local organizations of the Populist
party together is the inordinate greed
of its leaders for official place and self
aggrandizement. If they had the
good of the country at heart they
would pitch in and help the democrats
light the republicans and boltocrats.
vote the straight ticket and
* neaoe and harmony once more.

| A FARMER REPRESENTATIVE
From the Wav cross Journal.]
Elias Lott was Lorn in Coffee
I coifnlv in the year 1855. If is father
i was Daniel Lott, one of the first set
j tiers of the county, and was a young
man when this section was inhabited
by the Indians. Dani .l Lo t first mar
ried Lucy Peterson and eleven children
were born to them. He afterwards
manied Fannie Gaskin;, daughter of
David Gaskins, and eleven children
were born of this union. Of the lat
ter Elias was the third youngest.
In 1879 Air. Lott married Tcmpie
Douglas, a daughter of Robert Doug
las of Coffee county. Ten children
were horn to them, five hoys and live
gi.ls.
Air Loti is essentially a farmer. Hi -
father was a farmer, and while Elias
was always a good trader, he, since his
marriage twenty three years ago,
has been j rincipally engaged in that
vocation and lias always lived on his
farm. He lias one of the best places
in Coffee county, and as an index to
his prosperity, he has never since lie
began farming bought a bushel of corn
or a pound of neat.
Personally, Ah'. Lott is of medium
size, of pleasing disposition and is per
manent in acquaintance. Ah lie is
known better he is better liked and
among the people there is not a more
popular man in the county.
In politics he is a thorough demo
crat. He is now for the first, time in
bis life, asking the people for an office.
The democrats of CoC ‘e county real
izing that they had a hard tight to
make for a supremacy, cast about for
the strongest man in the county to
make the race for the legislature. Air.
Lott was the first man thought of for
the position, hut for a long time he re
fused the race, saying lie preferred to
remain at home with his family. After
much persuasion by the leading dem
ocrats he consented to make the race
if no other democrat should offer for
the nomination. Every one was too
glad to have him for their representa
tive, and no one offered for the place,
and he was unanimously voted for as
the nominee.
Tho populists, realizing that there
was but hope to defeat him, pro failed
on his brother, Mr. Dan Lott, to run
against him. It is not likely that the
latter’s candidacy will avail anything,
however, as many blame him for com
ing out against his brother. Mr. Elias
Lott is much younger and more active,
end lie is making a campaign that is
almost sure to win.
A vote for democracy is a vote for
peace and harmony among otir people.
For tho last time this campaign, we
advise readers to vote democracy and
harmony.
The eighteen pa go anniversary edi
tion of the Waycross Journal is the
best and most complete special edition
we have seen anywhere. It contained
good cuts of all tho prominent men of
Waycross, together with a good his
torical sketch of each. The other cuts
were very fine and added attractive
ness to the paper. Pan 'went and
John Greer are a whole team.

THE PATIENT CAMEL.
An Ens’llf.li Corre rut on dent Who Doe® Not
Ta!io Mach frtoch In the Ileast.
Tho camel, ho it at ones said, is
an overrated beast. There is a groat
deal of him, hut ho is not for his
size nearly eo strong as tho useful,
unpretentious donkey. Than, too,
his anatomy is eo strangely con
ceived. His legs aro attached to his
great unwieldy carcass with seem
ingly so little consideration for the
uses to which, merely viewed as
legs, ho might bo expected to put
them. And his neck and tail aro so
obviously disproportionato to the
rest of him, and hot!) so useless,
that ono cannot avoid llio thought
that the camel is somohow incom
plete, or, owing to some mistake,
was never finished off at all.
Even tho qualities ho possesses
tend to strengthen ono in this be
wildering suspicion. For instance,
lie can kick himself violently in the
—let us say tho front of tho back
with his foreleg. Ho does it con
stantly. Time and again have I de
voted long hours—fruitlessly, I must
admit —to an attempt to win tho con
fidence of my favorite camel—my
favorite because he is less cruel to
mo than tho others. I have wooed
him with tho soft notes of my kour
bash; I have tempted him with tho
thorniest of mimosa branches; I
have puffed tobacco smoko in his
supercilious nostrils—and then, just
ns I have fancied I saw tho light of
sympathy dawning in his long lash
ed cyo ho has risen all of ono move
ment to his feet, grinned at mo in a
frightful manner, disclosing a forest
of green and broken tooth and gaz
ing at mo full with more vindictivo
contempt than I have ever marked
in any human eyo; has kicked him
self violently in tho stomach and
lain down again, as if lio would say,
“Now, go away and don’t bother,
like a good hoy.”
Thou ho can gnaw his own tail—
his absurd useless little rag of a tail,
that isn’t even worth biting. But
is that an object worth living fori*
Or, again, ho has, to he sure, seven
stomachs, of which, vain beast, he
is so inordinately proud—as though
lie had anything to do with it—that
lie is constantly fetching up one of
them to show you and blows it out
from his great, ugly throat in a
horrid, glittering, transparent bulb
for you to admire. A more nauseat
ing practice could hardly be con
ceived, hut tho low brute will do it.
Ono accomplishment, indeed, I can
givo him credit for. Ho can flick a
Uy from tho top of his head with his
hind too. Now, this in tho ago we
live in might, woro ho a luckier beast
and tho rest of his hulk conducive,
havo served him in good stead. But,
as things are, I fear ho will make
nothing of it. His shape is fatally
against him, and ho will never be
come fashionable as a step dancer.
But, with all his faults, defects and
[Usabilities, tho camel has, so far as
this country is concerned, not yet
boon superseded by any more prac
tical invention, and, despito tho fact
that bis temper is bad, 3tis appetite
vast and sordid, his capacity for
prolonged existence without water
—tv giddy fiction—his carrying ca
pabilities mean and his locomotive
powers oxasperatingly meager, yet
ho is all wo have, and on him wo
must largely depend throughout this
Dongola expedition. Dr. Conan
Doylo, who is ono of our party, be
iievos, after tv week or so of acquaint
ance with him, that ho has discov
ered in his riding camel great deli
saoy of sentiment and much dignity
cf demeanor. But then Dr. Conan
Doylo is a man of so wide a charity
tlmt ho actually believes in and
even admires—well, no, I will not
say who it is. Let every ono guess
for himself. But if that person, why
not tho camel? Why not, indeed?
Perhaps I may havo somo day some
thing pleasant to say about my cam
els. Time must decide. Is it a long
lived boast, I wonder?—Sudan Cor.
London News.
What Newspapers Do.
The newspapers really covor a
wider range, relate the daily his
tory of more countries, make per
sonages much more visible and uot
infrequently narrate stirring iuci-
Sents in a stylo which makes them
as exciting as any adventures either
in tho historic past or in fiction. The
surface of tho world is spread out
before the read era of a wealthy news
paper like a great panorama, with
the advantage that all tho person
ages upon it are seen, as in some of
tho newest photographs, in actual
and continuous motion. The world
fa reduced to a stage, and the ob
server is positively fascine, tod by the
drama going on, which, being well
“rendered,” is so attractive that
not a few of the spectators become
Btagestrnck.—London Spoctator.
Wliat He Meant.
Ho had proposed and been reject
ed. “Very well,” he said coldly,
“there will come a time when your
treatment of me will bo regretted.”
“I shall never regret it,” she re
plied.
“Oh, I don’t mean you,” ho mur
mured hoarsely. ”1 refer to the
man you finally accept.’’—Philadel
