Over two hundred immunes arc in

The eye* of the state are on Coffee
county and the Eleventh district.
Under Democratic administration
Georgia pays $223,000 this year for
negro education.
If we boat the pops tins time they
wHI never be able to get together
again, and dissension among our peo
ple will be at an end.
In Wilmington, N. 0.. under the
fusion operation of the Populist and
Republicans, there are forty negro
magistrates in the county, and ninety
negro office holders.
We hear of prominent pops de
nouncing their party leaders every
week. The oflice hunters in that par
ty are going beyond the bounds of rea
son and derency in their headlong ef
lort to carry the negro vote.
The Waycross Journal very kindly
says :
“Editor A. C. Sweat should receive
liberal encouragement from the people
of Coffee, for he is giving them a very
good paper."
The Wilmington Star says that
North Carolina is the most “negroized”
state in the union, and that the “ne
groizing” procees is steadily going on.
It has a negro representative in Con
gress, negro magistrates, deputy sher
iffs, constables county commissioners,
school commissioners who manage
white schools, aldermen and members
of boards of education. It is the only
state that has negro officials in the
insane asylums and other benevolent
institutions, and “There are more ne
groes in the legislatue and more ne
gro postmasters than any other state ’’
This is what Populism has done for
North Carolina. Do Georgia voters
w ish to see something similar in their
own state.
If not —and we know they do not —
then let them slick to and vole the
straight Democratic ticket. j
UKSUI.Tn of fusion.
In the Wilmington, N.C., Daily Re
cord, of August 18th, a paper edited
and published by negroes, as the organ
of the Republican-Populist fusion po
litical crowd in that unhappy state,
the following editorial appeared :
“Poor white men are careless in the
matter of protectiing their women,
especially oil the farms. They are
careless of their conduct toward them,
and our experience among poor white
people in the country teaches us that
women of that race are not more par
ticular in the matter of clandestine
meetings with colored men, than are
the white men with colored women.
Meetings of this kind go on for some
time until the woman’s infatuation or
the man’s boldness, bring attention to
them, and the man is lynched for rape
Every negro lynched is called a ‘big,
hurley, black brute,’ wbeu in fact,
many of those who have thus been
dealt with had white men for their
fathers, and were not only not ‘black
and ‘burly,’ but were sufficiently at
tractive f >r white girls of culture and
refmemnt to .all in love with them,
as is very well known to all.”
We trust that the above will serve
to make our populist friends halt and
consider before they vote for the Pop
ulist-Republican fusion. They are
right now at the parting of the ways.
Any North Carolinian will tell you
that Georgia is threatened with the
same disaster that befell North Caro
lina at their last election.
The populist party has already en
dorsed iepublicanism in this congres
sional district, and the time has now
come for all selfrespccting white pop
ulists, except the office-seekers, to
come hack into the democratic party.
Miss Edna Cain of Summerville
writes about hoys as though she was
one herself.
The Populists of Berrien county
have named Mr. J. B. Gaskin as their
candidate for the Legislature.
The Douglas Leader, a sort of a
make shift for a newspaper and here
tofore Populist, says that the nomina
tion of the Republican Wilkinson for
Congress manes it feel “larger and
rounder.” We can’t for the life of us
catch the idea, we don’t understand
why a Populist editor should ho made
“larger and rounder” hy the nomina
tion of a Republican, unless perchance,
lie was thinking of a round dollar or
two that he hoped to make by the
transaction. —Waycross Daily Herald.
From the Savannah Nows
“Congressman Brantley opened his
campaign in the eleventh district at
Douglas, Coffee county, today and
spoke to 700 people in this county,
the hotbed of the populist-republican
fusion. The audience exhibited such
enthusiasm over the speech and the
new life it has put in the democrats,
that prominent ones state to your cor
respondent to-night that they have
great hopes of redeeming Coffee. The
democrats are organizing in every
precinct.
Judge F. Willis Dart, chairman of
the executive commlttc, states that
104 have formed into sub committees,
and will tomorrow begin purging the
registration list.
“A deplorable state of affairs exists
here. The populists have controlled
county offices for two years, and the
registration books are tilled with the
names of the most vicious of the mean
turpentine farm negroes. These
negroes are driven like sheep and tin
der the republican-populist campaign
this year it will be hard to break tin in.
The democrats of Codec see black rule
staring them in the face, and believe
that this year they can break the force
of opposition. They are strongly
backed by Congressman Brantley,
who whooped them up today, and the
candidate for the state senate, Robert
Dickeison, who also spoke. The cam
paigners are coming back to Coffee,
as in this county the reign of the ne
gro threatens most, and the populists
are helping to make it sure and quick.”

A CRITICAL TIME
DOBING THE BUTTLE OF SAN
TIAGO.
Sick or Well, a Rush Night and Day.
The Packers at the Hattie of Santiago
de Cuba were all Heroes. Their Hero
ic Efforts in Getting Ammunition and
Rations to the Front Saved the Day.
I‘. E. Butler, of pack-train No. 3,
writing from Santiago, De Cuba, on
July 23rd, says: “Wo till 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 thanks 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 front. There
were no roads that a wagon train could
use. My comrade and 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.”
The above letter was written to the
manufacturers of this medicine, the
