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.” OAETOnXA.

A faith cure doctor and divine has been around here a week or two and lias healed several people. He is from Carolina, and named Waller. Cotton picking lias commenced in earnest now and the women and chil dren are happy. How strangely short is some peoples recollection.

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 Chamberlain Medicine Cos., Des Moin es, lowa.
