As thp year approches for Ihe

the eyes of the politician scans the

and the hearts of the papsuckers
crawl up towards their mouths.
The republican party claim Pres

posed expansion with all his might.

“It is no longer a question of ex

ed. It there is any question at all,
it is a question of contraction ; and
who is going to contract?”
If McKinley will wait until af

the people will answer his question.
The Breeze thinks it will be the re

WANTS TO RUIN THE SOUTHERN FARMER
An English and Aids Mc-
Kinleys Atforfi Bistratlon.
It will be remembered that in
August when the cotton crop of the
South seemed to be cut off nearly'
one half, and the future for the
farmer appeared dark and hope
less, one Neill, in the employ of
the cotton brokers of New York
telegraphed over tlie world that
the cotton crop was as large as
ever, and the supply ample for all
purposes. This was an attempt to
give out news that would keep
cotton at its lowest prices, btft the
truth of the real condition of the
crop leaked out, and cotton began
to rise. For fear that the farmer
would realize something for his
cotton, and have a dollar to spare,
this miser tble, lying vandal cables
his brothers, among (lie noted cot
ton brokers f the world, that re
ports contrary to his own made in
August are false, and that the cot
ton crop of the South, was, if any'
thing, larger than ever. Here is
his telegram :
New York, <let. 16 —(Hjieeial.) The Official
Journal of the Manchester Cotton associ
ation of the 7tli inst., quotes the following
cable from Henry M. Neill, New Orleans,
of lUlth of Hent., to Neill Bros., London:
‘•lnfluenced by the misleading statements
disseminated by New York conspirators,
planters in the south are still holding back
their cotton. Asa matter of fact, tlie
weather remains perfect for crop. Pick
ing is immense. tirade higher.”
Was ever a more ghastly false
hood flashed across the ocean to
induce the cotton handlers of Lon
don ttnd Liverpool (which controls
the world) to put down to the bot
tom, the staple of the south? It is
a blow aimed at the farmer, lie
is paid to rob the south, for solidity
and patriotism will defeat McKin
ley’s administration by the use of
their votes and their dollars, while
lie pours thousands into the lap of
the republican campaign managers
to keep monopolists in power and
to wring from the farmers and toil
ers their honest earnings. And
this is McKinleyism, republican
ism, bossism, and still they lie and
declare the republican party is the
salvation of the country.
Y\ ill the honest, hard-working
farmers of Coffee county vote for
such a party, for such an admin
istration as the one in power now,
kept there by the contributions of
such men as Neill, the cotton
planter’s enemy, the tool of''mo
nopolists? We think not. These
are cold facts, the telegram is from
the columns of the Augusta Herald
and was furnished by the Associa
ted Press os the world, and no re
publican politician can deny its
genuiness,
1 lie l’opulist of Ohio and Ken
tucky are not hitching onto Repub
licanism next year. McKinley’s
expansion policy does not seem to
meet their approval, and it ap
pears to be .the admininistratious
death knell.
King McKinley and Q.ueen Vic
toria are both engaged in strang
ling the life out of people that are
fighting for freedom. The former
made a Sunday school speech last
Sunday and the latter is sheding
tears of sorrow. Did the world
ever behold two such grannies be
fore?
l'he \\ aycross Fair Association
has raised the price of admission to
next fair to fifty cents. The As
sociation has grown reckless from
it* past success, and has given its
self a stab in the attempt to “size
the pile” and take it.
Some of our contemporaries are
saying hard things about each
other and furnishing poor reading
lor the famileie of their patrons.
Newspapers are poor places to set
tle such controversies—the first
time you meet is the time and the
street is the best place, bovs.
Baxley Banner : The Douglas

Barnesvilie Gazette: White
primaries are necessities. The
time lias come when the white peo
ple must submit their political
differences to this elective method.
Every candidate for office from
governor to bailiff should submit
to a white primary. This will be
better for the negro as well as for
the* white voters. It is a burning
shame for white people to scramble
for office over the negro votes.
Mich scrambling contaminates flit
negro and degrades the white man.
