My Lost Old Age.
[By a young invalid just before his death.]
I'm only nine und twenty, yet.
Though young, experience makes me
sage,
So how on earth can I forget
The memory of my lost old age?
Of manhood’s prime let others boast.
It' comes too late or goes too soon.
At times the life I envy most
la that of slippered Puntaloon.
In days of old, a twelvemonth back,
I laughed and quaffed and chaffed my fill,
And now, a broken winded licck,
I'm weak and worn and faint and ill.
Life's opening chapter pleased me well.
Too hurriedly 1 turned the page.
I spoiled the volume. Who can tell
What might have been my lost old age?
I lived my life, I had my day,
And now—l feel it more and more—
The game I have no strength to play
Seems better than it seemed of yore.
I watch the sport with earnest eyes
That gleam with joy before it ends.
For plainly I can hear the cries
That hail the triumph of my friends.
We work so hard, we age so soon,
We live so swiftly, one and all,
That ere our day be fairly noon
The shadows eastward seem to fall.
Borne tender light may gild them yet.
As yet ’tis not so very cold,
And on the whole 1 won’t regret
My slender chance of growing old.
—W. J. Prows®.
New England'. *
Wherever thought is deep and strong,
Wherever conscience fights with wrong,
Wherever manhood dares to die
And womanhood is pure and high.
On mountain peak or plain or sea,
The soul's one cry must ever be,
Thank God for old Now England I
The warrior’s sword and poet’s pen
Are thine to wield, but only when
The cause of right demands the blow,
When thou wouldst lay proud error low.
Then only does thy face of love
Grow dark with sternness from above,
Oh, grandly great New England 1
For those enslaved in life, in thought,
Thy blood, thy tongue, hath freedom
bought.
The arm of justice in its might,
The thrilling voice of truth and right,
The patriot ardor, glowing warm
With courage calm in battle storm.
Are in thy name. New England!
—L. W. Smith.
A Clever Trick.
It certainly looks like it, but there
is really no tncic about it. Aanybody
can try it who lias Lame Back and
weak kidneys, Malaria or nervous
troubles. We mean he can cure him
self right away by taking Eletric Bit
ters. This medicine tones up the
whole system, acts as a stimulant to
Liver and Kidney, is a blood purifier
and nerve tonic. Itcuses Constpation
Headachp, Fainting spells, Sleepless
ness and Melancholy, It is purely
vegtable, a mild laxative and restores
the system to its natural vigor. Try
Electric Bitters and bt- convinced that
they are miracle woker. Every bot
tle gurranteed. Only 50c cens a bot
tle at any drug store.
An Old Idea.
Every day strengthens the belief of emi.
nent physicians that impure blood is the
cause of the majority of our diseases.
Twenty-live years ago this theory was used
as a basis for the formula of Browns’ Iron
Bitters. The many remarkable cures effected
by tliis famous old household remedy ara
sufficient to prove that the theory is correct.
Browns’ Iron Bitters is sold by all dealers.
For the speedy and permanent cure of
tetter, salt rheum and eczema, Cham
berlain’s Eye and Skin Ointment is
without an equal. It relieves the itch
ing and smarting almost instantly and
its continued use effects a permanent
cure. It also cures itch, barber’s itch,
scald head, sore nipples, itching piles,
chapped hands, chronic sore eyes and
granulated lids.

DUG LAS, GA. SATURDAY SEPT. 24. 1898.
Wilkin so n’
Lett,er.
A few days ago Mr. R. G. Dickerson,
of Clinch county, a candidate foi
st ate senate, declared in a speech that
Mr. J. M. Wilkinson, the republican
populist candidate for congress in the
eleventh district had stated that he
would rather see this country run by
the negroes than by Bryan democrats.
Mr Dickerson added that lie could
1 produce the letter in which Mr. Wil
kinson made the assertion.
This charge has interferred very
much with fusion down in the elev
enth. The white populists down there
have been waiting to see if the charge
against Mr. Wilkinson would be deni
ed. But no denial has been made.
None could be made. The fusion
candidate had made the declaration
in writing over his own signature.
The Constitution this morning pub
lishes the letter in full. No one can
apologize for Mr. Wilkinson by saying
that the letter lias been garbled or
that only extracts are printed.
It will Le seen from reading Mr.
Wilkinson’s own words that he prefers
negro domination to democracy of the
Chicago platform variety, a democra
cy which was indorsed by more votes
than were ever cast in any previous
election for any nominee for president.
In the eleventh the white populists
who have seen the letter have noted
that Mr. 'Wilkinson placed business
prosperity ahead of white supremacy
and decent government. They have
noted that he insinuated that a Bryan
adminstration would giae five-cent
cotton, and McKinley and negro office
holders would send it to 7 cents.
They have seen the McKinley admin
istration and the beginning of negro
domination and their cotton is still at
5 cents.
Mr. Wilkinson refers to the interest
of the banker and the merchant. He
would not sacrifice the gold standard
for white local government. He ap
proves the appointment of nfgroes to
office. He said he would rather have
the black man’s government and the
yellow metal, than the white metal as
a money of final payment and a white
man’s government.
The letter has been circulated the
last few days in typewritten copies
and The Constitution leceived two
copies yesterday lrom different points.
It can he safely asserted that the re
publication of the letter, which apear
ed in The Valdosta Times, August 3,
1897, will create a great sensation in
the eleventli district. Hon. W. G.
Brantley will discuss it the coming
week on the stump and Mr. Wilkinson
will have to own or repudiate the
opinions he expressed a year ago, when
he said that for the future he preferred
to ride in the band wagon with Lyon
and Rucker.
Here is the letter in full:
“I see the Bryanized press is charg
ing the democrats who refused to sup
port the Chicago platform with the
responsibility of the Dingley bill, and
the appointment of some colored men
to official positions in Georgia. I have |
no regrets to weep over or apologies
to make for the support of McKinlev,
“When the Chicago platform was
j adopted McKinley’s election was as
sured. The sole object of this conven
tion, it’s own burning desire, was the
humiliation of Mr. Cleveland ; ami in
blindly pursuing that one purpose,
they brought disgrace and defeat upon
the party, The democrats who sup
ported the real democratic nominees
: —Palmer and Bucicner—and those
j who joined the republican party ase
i not disappointed at the results.
We prefer the Dingley hill, with
I soul? colored men in office, to “free
j silver, free lumber, free wool and free
| rice of Bryanism.
“The free riot and anarchy of Alb
geldism and tlie free riot of Tillman
ism, and will not be driven from onr
convc’ions by the criticism of the
Bryanite press nor by their appeals to
j our prejudice against negroes,
i “These colored men helped to de
feat Bryan and woiked for the eieet
[ ion of McKinley and are eutitled to
the rewards of good citizenship We
sympathize with the sontiment against
negro officeholders, but at the same
time we have some regard for the de
sires and ambitions of the colored man
who is making a gooi I citizen of him
self, and the presiden t lias done right
in recognizing the val ue of bis services
to the country in t'au last cumgaign.
After thirty years of effort to keep the
negro behind us, we are convinced that
the better plan is to Keep ahead of him.
lie is not such ad angerous factor in
politics as some of o ur democratic boss
es would have us hi ilieve,
“There is no dan jer of negro domin
ation in this country nor of a deluge ol
negro office holder: i, but there is much
to fear from the d< miination of the gang
who exercised a controlling influence
over the Chicago convention in the di
rection of socialism and anarchv, Gen
eral Coxey, Coni ander Debs and Coin
Harvey, comniui fistic agitators, whose
vocation is disti thing the good order,
peace and prosperity of the nation, are
princes among i lemocrats. This is the
dangerous clement in our country; this
is the gang, with that degenerate Alt
geld as its leai lers that forced the Chi
cago convention to threaten the des
truction of on i national judiciary and
to condemn 51 r. Cleveland for suppress
ing Dcbs’s Ch icago riot in his wild des
truction of human life and property.
“The people ot Georgia have infinite
ly more interest in the good order and
the business prosperity of the nation
than they lia.ve in the color of the men’s
skin who ho Ids the office.
“As an al istract proposition we might
prefer whit j men, but we cannot afford
to sarorifict) our ancient institutions and
our financial interest simply to gratify
a sentiment or a prejudice, nor can we
sfultify ourselves by indorsing a lot of
vagaries ye do not believe in or have
any respect for. We have already
done too much of that kind of voting,
but hereafter we are going to vote
with tin) party that promises the most
and the best opportunities for the ad
vancement of our general interest.
Which is the better for the farmer, a
Bryan administration, with the usual
contingency of politicians in office and
5-cent cotton, or a McKinley adminis
tration, with some colored men in of
fice and 7-cent cotton? Which is better
for the lumberman, ifs lumber under
Bryan or .$7 lumber under McKinloy
ism ?
“These are the living questions that
follow the farmer to the held, the lum
berman to the mill and the merchant
to the store. The greatest panic that
has passed over this country in half a
century was precipitated in 1893 by
(he Bryan element of the democratic
party. It shook this country from
center to circumference for four years
like the quivering of an earthquake
and the wreck and ruin would have
been complete but for that brave aDd
honest man, Grover Cleveland. Dur
ing this administration cotton was
lower than within fi/ty years, lumber
cheaper than within the memory of
the living, and more financial and in
dustrial bankruptcy than in all the
history of this country combined
However offensive the appointment
of colored men may he, when we con
teinplatethe scenes of ruin and dit-
a c ter that followed fast upon each
other from 1893 to 1886, we can never
agree for that class of democrats to
embarrass and harass another Ameri
can administration. You can’t make
cotton or lumber on sentiment. You
can’t sell goods or borrow money on
sentiment. It takes the ‘stuff'to de
velop the country and feed the wilY
babies. If democrats do not want e
-publicans in power and colored men
in office, they must indorse just and
wise principles.
“As long as the parties occupy the
positions they do now we will vote the
republican ticket. It lias been said
that if the democratic party should
nominate a ‘yellow dog’ the people of
the south would support it, hut this is
not trve. There is now an element
of independent, thoughtful manhood
in Georgia that will not submit any
longer to the dictation of the bosses—
tlie six-for-a-quarter machine-made
statesmen of Georgia. Last year
they were forced to the very ugly
necessity of cultivating tlie criminal
vole of the state; mxt year God
alone knows what methods or tricks
they will have to adopt. The scheme
now is to work the ‘nigger racket’
on the white man; howl lustily
against the republican party and
the president because he lias appoint
ed sonic colored men, and at the
same time they are secretly- rejoicing
because it gives them an opportunity
to raise the cry- of ‘negro domination,’
ply the party lash to the white peo
ple and bring repul licauism into dis
repute. ‘What fools we moitals be’
who never held an office, and who
have no desire or chance of holding
one, to run under democratic covery
every time the bcsics trot out the
cry ‘negro domination,’ in view of
the fact that they submitt and to the
domination of the All geld, Dob, and
Coxey- influence in the last cam
paign. ‘The pot can’t call the ket
tle black any more.’ If prominent
democrats can indorse a colored man
with a view of securing places under
him for democratic friends in Geor
gia, then, I am sure, any white
man can afford to vote the republi
can ticket, maintain liis self-reaped
and esteem and respect of his neigh
bors and countrymen. No, Mr. Ed
itor, the boys are not going to tum
ble to this negro racket ini'- more, and il
you have any frendly regard for your pop
ocralio companions you will dii them ;i
favor by suggesting a spec .jr return to tin
