Bob Dickerson is a good campaigner,
and he will lay Ecord in the shade to
the tune of one thousand majority.
Uncle Ligr Tanner, the populist
nominee for representative, Concedes
that two of the democratic candidates
will he elected.
In spite ol all the Breeze says about
Oapt. Ban Milikin's political move
ments the editor wants it understood
that he is our personal friend.
Joe W. Bennett of Brunswick will
he elected Judge of the Brunswick
circuit without opposition. Mr. Ben
nett is a line young man, an able
lawyer and will make a good judge.
The editor of the Douglas Leader,
the negro populist fusion organ of
Coffee, claims that lie never went to
school but eleven days. The columns
of his paper indicate that he made
poor use of the time.—Brunswick Ad
vertiser.
V ——————
Over in tire good old democratic
county of Ware the negroes have put
out a full republican county ticket,
and tkev say if the white pops do not
vote for their ticket they will get even
by scratching Ecord, the populist
nominee for Senator.
If you do not believe that populism
and republicanism is running together
in this district just go to the court
house in Douglas to-day aud hear Capt.
Ben Milikin and Col. .1. M. VVilkinst n
make their speeches. See how they
slobber over each other.
Just after peace was declared Spain
announced that she has anew explo
sive called dsza, with which it i* hoped
to accomplish wonders. It is pro
jected in the form of a rocket and is
guaranteef to sink anything from a
towboat to nu island. An Ameri
can gunner might use it with effect —
a Spaniard, never! I
DEMOCRATIC VICTORY.
A close and careful canvass of the
political situation, in Coffee county
warrants the conclusion that the dem
ocrats will win in the county election.
The populist majority in the last
election was made up of the illegal
negro vote.
The democrats were careless and
did not purge the registration lists
two years ago, but this time no pains
will he spared to make the registration
come up to the • full requirements of
the law.
The Breeze believes that the candi
dacy of Henry Girtman was largely
instrumental in bringing out the full
registration in the Pickren district.
This is the best democratic district in
the county, and the democrats of the
entire county are overjoyed at the
prospects of a big majority from that
precinct.
The Br-' /.e congratulates the demo
crats of this district for their good
worn, it is the banner district of the
county, and if we can hold the pops
down in the balance of the county
PicKren district will win the election
for us.
KKPUUIiICAN MIH-ItUMd.
There is no particular need of for
getting that in 1804 Gen. Phil Sheri
dan recommended to the war depart
ment that Gen. Russell A. Alger he
dishonorably discharged from the ser
vice. Alger was as complete a failure
as a soldier as he has proven himself
to be as secretary of war. He would
never have come to the front in politics
or any other line, after his disastrous
rout at the Minneapolis convention
as a candidate for the presidential
nomination by bis party, had it not
been for the fact that when McKinley
lost what money he had, also his wife’s
fortune and $119,000 additional in an
Ohio scheme, Alger contributed $20,-
000 of the money that put McKinley
on his feet again. Putting it plainly,
Alge virtually bought the position of
secretary of war, the duties which he
has conducted most miserably and
made an utter failure of. Other Re
publican statesman are in the same
boat with Alger, so many of them that
they feel that all of them must stand
together or they will break to pieces
like a chain made of fog.
AN KXIM, 1 NATION.
The statement in the Leader of this
week that the Breeze is being sup
ported by private contributions is a
LIE out of the whole cloth. Out
hooks will show that we make enough
to pay our expenses, and instead of
our democratic friends contributing
anything to the support of the paper
there arc scores of them indebted to
us for advertising and job printing.
The statofnent that the editor of the
Breeze docs not pay his postage is
another LIE Finley, the postmaster,
who also writes the clumsy and un
couth rot for the Leader lias been let
ting our postage bill stand until it
amounted to enough to offset an ac
count we have been carrying against
him for two years.
Wo had promised not to notice the
Leader again, and we only notice it
tlris time to brand its editor as a liar.
Appling is Ben Milikin's home
county, but it is said that he had a
.powerful hard time triyirig to make
the negro convention at Baxley in
dorse the populist county ticket. The
negroes were nearly evenly divided
and they will stay so until election day
The Breeze has been very charitable
towards Mr. Ecord, for, as every while
pop in Coffee county knows, we could
have said a whole lot about the charge
against Mr. Ecord that he killed a ne
gro in Irwin county a few years ago.
But we do not care to injure the char
acter of our paper by indulging in
such political tricks.

A CRITICAL TIME
DURING THE BATTLE OF S&i-
TlftGG.
Sick or Well, a Hush Sight and Day.
The Packers at the Battle of Santiago
do Cuba were all 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 loss violent form, and
when we landed we had no time to sec
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, aud I know in four cases
it absolutely saved life.’’
