The pops bought off another repub
lican convention last Saturday.
The Breeze hasn’t the time nor the
inclination to notice the whines from
the Leader.
The white men who courted and
pretended to love the poor negro so
well just after war were called scalla
wags.
The Populist. Convention at Valdos
ta, which nominated Hagan for the
Legislature, did not endorse Wilkin
son for Congress.
if we heat the pops this time they
will never be able to get together
again, and dissension among our peo
ple w ill be at an end.

Congressman Brantley makes his

anxious for this houor.

The populists of Ware county have
quit tlio drive. They have not lipid a
single meeting this year; nor will they
put out a ticket this year.
Judge Peril it ni of the Wayciv.-s
Evening Herald is throwing guncotton
into the Populo-Kepublico combina
tion. Keep up the lick, Brother.
It is shameful negligence in any
man to send his wife, daughter or pa
rent off to spend the summer, without
sending her the Breeze. Ten cents a
month is all it costs.
We hear of prominent pops de
nouncing their party leaders every'
week. The office hunters in that par
ly are going beyond the bounds of rea
son and decency in their headlong ef
fort to curry the negro vote.
The campaign in Cotfee will be
short but sharp. The people should
thank the Democratic party for put
ting off the campaign. The democrats
have not named their ticket yet, but
the pops have been trying to tqMju the
campaign for two months.
Four white populists are holding
post-off ees under the present republi
can administration in this county.
Now, if they arc such great friends to
the negroes why didn’t they let the
negro lepublicans have these offices.
It is plain that the pops are fooling
the negro and taking all the good
things for themselves, and are not wil
ling for Mr. Nigger to have anything

GOING TO jj FAST.
The Breeze, like :ull patriotic Ameri
can newspapers should do, has hurrah
ed and cavorted, the editor lias stood
on his head and fanned his frantic
frame with his owi) sh—or—coat tail,
all because of our great victory over
the Spaniards; but now that we have
have had time to cool of!'a bit and
“allow reason to regain its sway,” as
Judge Joel Sweat, would say, we have
concluded that Uncle Sam has played
the mischief.
W 1 ml have wc been licking Spain
fur, anyhow?
And after licking her, what business
did we have taking all her possessions?
Besides, what use have we got for
them?
In annexing new territory and as
suming protectorates over foreigners
and otherwise meddling with the pos
sessions of other nations we are depart
ing from the teachings of our fore
fathers and the founders of our gov
ernment. Old ideas are forsaken, and
wc are treading the path of aggressive
war, of foreign conquest and of alien
territorial aggrandizement.
Wc should call a halt and tie Uncle
Sam’s star-bespangled coat tail in a
hard knot around tiie base of Wash
ington monument.
MIDRLK-OF-1 IIE-I*URDLERB.
O, yes; of course the pops of Coffee
are strict (?) middle-of-the-roaders.
Middle-of-tlie-puddlers would be a bet
ter name for them.
They have departed from tlio teach
ings of Torn Watson and are now
actually fusing with the Republicans!
This act is the last dying kick of the
Populist party. The party will die
because the honest, conscientious vot
ers will not follow the politicians into
the Republican party. They are los
ing good white men from their ranks
every day in this county.
There were some honest, well-mean
ing populists, lmt they will never be
republicans

A RKI'URLICfIN ORGAN.
In the last issue of the great Doug
las Leader, a paper published at Doug
las, in Coffee county, and heretofore
supposed to be a populist organ, we
find the following editorial paragraph :
“Wo are for our republican nominee
first, last and all the time. ’Rail for
J. M. Wilkinson!”
Wo thought the Leader was a popu
list paper, but the above capping
shows we were in error. Anyway, it
is consoling to know at last to what
party it belongs.
In the meantime, tlio Breeze will
snow under all its weak efforts at boost
ing into office the “gentlemen from
Valdosta." —Ocilla Dispatch.

‘‘Anything to beat the Democrats,”
is apparently the principle of the Pop
ulists in the Eleventh district. The
corner stone of the l’opulist party at
the time of its formation was alleged
to be equal rights. Now, however,
the party leaders are ready ami will
ing to swallow protectionism, or any
thing else, for the sake of defeating
the Democracy, The Eleventh dis
trict Populists, who have eudotsed the
Republican candidate lor Congress,
arc fully conscious of the fact that
they have aliigned themselves against
the host interests of the district, but
the spirit of revenge .it so strong with
in (hem that they are willing that the
district should be sacrificed.
We do not believe that the Populist
leaders o' the Eleventh will be able to
deliver the votes of many white men
to the Republicau candidate.—Savan

Silk ur Well, a Husk Kiglt anil Day.
The Packers at tlio Battle of Santiago
de Cuba were ail Heroes. Their Hero
ic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
P. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23rd, says: “We all had diar
rhoea' in more or less violent form, and
when we landed we had no time to see
a doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations
but thunks to Chamberlain’s Colic,
Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep at work and keep
our health ; in fact, I sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the indirect saviour of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way
of getting supplies to the frout. There
were no roads that a wagon train could
use. My comrade aud myself had the
good fortune to lay in a supply of this
medicine for our pack train before we
left Tampa, and 1 know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.”

manufacturers of this medicine, the

two years ago are nearly as strong

party the death-blow for this county.

blood rich and red. Do you more good
than an expensive special course of medicine.
