It .Jill give no abuse and it does not dntend to take any. An attemp has been made to lynch the negroes who are in jail at Valdosta charged with the mur der of Henry Vickers. The recent carnival at Macon cost that city Even a . an advertisement this amount is more than paid, besides the receipts will nearly wipe it out. McKinley’s J’hillipine policy may bring him fame and defeat, while it will pile a debt of millions on the people, and cover the land with widows and orphans. McKinley’s expansion policy will be opposed by his own party in Congress, led by ex-Speaker Reed. It will also be opposed by the people which will lead to bis defeat. As thp year approches for Ihe presidential campaign to come on, the eyes of the politician scans the horizon for the coming contestants, and the hearts of the papsuckers crawl up towards their mouths. The republican party claim Pres ident Abe Lincoln as its founder and cite him as its model. They will please remember that Mr. Lin coln was an honest man and op posed expansion with all his might. The Waycross Air Line’s com pletion to Fitzgerald is assured, and at a much earlier date than was at first expected. A loan of $46.3- 000 has been secured for that pur pose, and the work will go toward without delay. Thp Breeze would like to see a democratic president elected next year ; second choice, a populist, but anything to heat McKinley. A change of administration is neces sary : too long in office breeds cor ruption. ' ■!■■■■■. >. \Vaycross Evening llerald : “There art' rumors that ex Editor Findlay will start another paper in Douglas. It occurs to us that Freeman is filling the bill there and he ought to be let alone.” \\ e have heard such a rumor, Judge.* lilacksheur Times : “Editor Free man and his courteous office force can get up a good Breeze but it would take a cyclone to beat John Bennett for solicitor general.” John Bennett will be solicitor next term. After that we’ll fur nish tlie cyclone. More money has been used, the l nited States has been put farther in debt, and the taxes have been higher during the present republi can administration than at any time since the civil war thirty-three years-ago. Phe people demand a change and they will have it. Mr. McKinley savs: “If there is any. question at all it is a ques tion of contraction.” That’s right Mr. Mac; ami the “contraction fel lows" ure forcing you to keep American soldiers in the Phillipines in order that they may secure and hold the “contracts,’ for furnish ing them with horse beef and hard tatjks. The people don’t like it. In his speech at Cedar Falls, lowa, last Monday, McKintey said : “It is no longer a question of ex pansion with us; we have expand 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 ter the next President .al election the people will answer his question. The Breeze thinks it will be the re publican party. Two factions of the republican party in Bibb county are having a warm fight over the control of the county organization. The Yictori :is side will control the appoint- of a republican postmaster % tead of the president incumbent, < has been held in office up to iV: ne ’ 011 acc °nnt of this fight. J ride will be sure to be dis-1 jf ' ted and this means a loss of '•McKinley. 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 Bieeze and the \\ a\cross Journal are haying it over the solicitorship. -h this distance the Breeze seems to have scored first blood. 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. Pearson.
