I IS THIS ECONOMY?
In the address Speaker Crisp de
liyered in Atlanta, he had this to |
say of the populist platlorm:
“That platform contains some
planks which are new and some
which are old. Those which are
valuable are not new, and those
which are new are not valuable.
Our populist friends want to buy
the railroads, the telegraph lines
and the telephones. The thous¬
ands of millions of dollars neces
sary to do this does not stagger
them. The great army of officers
necessary to manage and protect
these enterprises i does i * embar v ;

time for congress to adjourn and
come home. It was a revelation
to him when he was informed that
congress had been adjourned
nearly a month, and yet this man
is a leader in heaping abuse in his

ven ti 0 ns have proved themselves
be „f the most importance for
the upbuilding of our towns and
country,I thought of tiie great im¬
portance of railroads, with great
iron steeds to import and export
great quantities of merchandise,
I have considered the value of the
grist mills, cotton gins and the
hundred and one other inven
lions that has a tendency to up
build a town, but above all others
I have concluded that a town
building invention has never yet
been struck upon to compare with

is to a town just what Josh

When a battle was to be tought.
the people done the fighting and
Joshua did the planning and pray
ing. which was the whole cause of
tbeir success in battle. So, while

the success of a town to be cred

IN MEMORY.
A Tribute of Respect to Mrs. Susan C.
Bond.
God in Iris wisdom has seen fit
to remove from our midst Mrs.
ptisan C. Bond.
She was too good for this world
and lie who knoweth all hath
called her to rest everlasting.
On the night of the 22nd of Au¬
gust, exhausted by her suffering,
yet bearing all with a Christian
fortitude, she fell asleep in Jesus.
Her life was the embodiment of
Christian influences—devoting
her time to bringing souls to the I
maker of us all. has Many she times guided by j
her influences 1 .
some poor sinV.er to the cross and
to work for their God.
Possessed of no family and be- j
reft of her husband, she devoted
her time to the work of her Maker
and her life's work among us will
live long after those who have
ielt her influence have mingled j
their bones with the dust.
Being a consistent member oi
tlie Methodist church for forty
years. what grander hope than
this could she leave her sorrow-1
ing fiiends than that she is now at
rest.
With an eve single to the glory
of God and an armor of faith, |
^ fo(jgh| ^ baU , e8 and nqt |
won life’s victories, but a
crown ot rejoicing laid up tor her !
in that home immortal.
The world hath changed—hu
inanity hath bled and died, but,
tbank (jyj, a mid all this, there is
something stable and steadfast.
•Christ is immutable; he is the
same yesterday, to day and for
ever, and if we will alone live like j
her—resting ill his divine assur
ance—we will have a “Rock of 1
Ages” so firm that adversity with
all her billows cannot throw you
into its raging grasp.
With those with whom she was
associated, she will ever be re¬
membered.
With this wo leave her to ltcr
and hope some day to meet
her somewhere between the sun
set and the skies.

SOME SEVERE LANGUAGE.
It will be remembered that last
week we published the proceed
ings of the republican executive
committee of Dodge county, at
which resolutions were adopted to
support all populist nominees from
governor down to state senator,
We would ask our coloied
friends if they can conscientiously
support a man for governor who
would vilify them as has candidate
Judge Hines. Will they vote for
a man who would so disparage the
race as lias the man who now asks
for their votes to elect him to the
governor's chair?
The following will show the po
sition Judge Hines takes in the
matter and the replies of the good
people of Bulloch county,
The Statesboro Star of August
10, 1894. charged Judge Jas. K.
Hines, Populist nominee for gov
ernor, with saying in a public
speech that a negro was a brute
and their women were common
prostitutes,
To this Judge Hines addressed
the following card to the Builoch
County Banner, a red-hot third
party sheet, published at States
boro, the card appearing in their
issue of August 16, 1894:
Rn. Haxxkr*
My attention Ins been called to the
follow ing extract from the Statesboro
Siar:
“Key. J. H. Anderson, colored, in¬
forms us that after due consideration he
has decided that it behooves ttie colored
people of this county to act with the
democratic party in county and state
elections. He informs us that he had
nt first expected to yote the populist
ticket, hut after hearing that Judge
u; negj the populist nominee for gov
ernor, has said in a public speech that
Hie negro was no more than a common
l ’ r,,te ’ a,ul denounced the women of the
colored race in such terms that it will
admit of public print, he himself
wi'l not vote for a man of this kind and
coanot set* how any otiicr of liis race
can do it.’’
It ig absolutely false that I said in a
public speech that tiie negro is no more
than a com mon brute and that I de¬
nounced the colored women so that it
would not do to go into public print.
Neither ill public nor private utter
anev have I used such language or any
thing like it.
Kvv. J. II. Anderson has been impos¬
ed upon. I would be glad if tie would
furnish Ids authority. Yours truly,

THE BLIGHT OF POPULISM.
Thousands of good citizens in
Kansas and Colorado view with
alarm the results of populist rule
in those states, and unless there is
a speedy change for the better a
a wholesale exodus may be expect
ed.
When the populists gained con
Irnl of Kansas and Colorado they
started a legislative crusade against
corporations and capitalists. The
railroads were crippled and their
owners were left with hardly any
orotection for their proberty rights
The great money lending
nies whose loans had largely built
up the west were made to feel the ;
inconveniences of hostile legisla-;
tion, and it was even threatened
that stay laws would be passed to
prevent the collection of debts.
Naturally, this policy caused !
men of capital and enterprise to
lose contidence in the populist
states They withdrew their mon- j
ev and in the financial circles of
t he world Kansas and Colorado i
were practically blacklisted. Real
estate declined rapidly and there
were no buyers. Well-to-do peo
[ile moved away, and commerce
and industry were half para
lvzed
This was the condition ot afl'airs
in a short time after the populists
got into power, and matters have
been growing wmrse ever since.
The discontent of the people
has provoked an epedemic of law¬
lessness, and the authorities have
done , very imle , to , promote , the ,, in
terestsot peace and order. Sucli
an object lesson could not be light¬
ly passed over by the people of
other states, and it is a significant
that populism . has
iact since
reached its'cliinax in Kansas and
Colorado it iias declined
where else. In a dozen states
thousands of good men, who joined
the populists two years ago, have
Ieft then, and returned to their
0 ] € j p ar jy organizations. 1’hey

uhsts in the two states which Hut
well nigh ruined, and they
ba ,. e c0 ;,ie to the conclusion that
it is better to natientlv bear the
front something worse. In the
country at large populism is dead.
Its success in Kansas and Colo
rado killed it, and no very earnest
effort will be made anywhere to
rev ive the corpse.—Atlanta Con*

ilies, the disturbance of tliefriend
ship of communities, the disrup
tion ot churches, says a writer in
(ho Augusta Chronicle. As
widely as his intluence lias been
felt, so widely have these bad ic
suits followed. For what, it may
lie well asked, has he done all this
bad work? We need not ask if
there has been any good accom
plished which may he placed on
the other page of the ledger. We
know that there has been none,
But has he promised any benefits
which could have compensated for
these ills? Only in a very re
mote and visionary way. There
are no state issues before tiie peo
|de. Ail the blessings which lie
vouchsafed were to accrue from
control by his party of the Nation¬
Government and that he has
all along known is the most im
probable of contingencies, let
he has insisted that there should
be contests over office, in every
district and every county, and that
every man who would not swear
loyalty to his creed on national
questions should be thrown out,
be be e\er so tried and worthy,
has employed every t Hurt both
animosities wb _b |on 2 'ie and and to pen excite to arouse prejti
