Vote for Democracy Wednes¬
day. It is essential that you
should.
The Democratic party is the
party of the people, and the peo¬
ple should and will stick to it.
If you believe in State's rights,
vote for Democracy; if you believe
in centralization and radical rule,
vote for populism.
Why will you vote against the
party that lias governed these
people so well ? Will you smite
ltie hand that gave you bread and
freedom ? That would be un¬
grateful in you.
Will a sensible man vote for a
party whose twelve representa¬
tives in congress have introduced
bills appropriating more money
for ignoble purposes than is in
circulation in the whole world.
Tom Watson, the demagogue
who would stir up strife among
these people and array country
against town, will go down in ig¬
nominious defeat in November,
and a Black man will beat iiim,
too.
Under carpet-bag and numb
skull rule Georgia was bonded for
several million dollars, but since
itie Democratic party has been in
power the affairs of state have
been economical]v and faithfully
administered.
We hope that ere ihe Deity is
visible in the first 6treaks of the
early morn of Wednesday, Octo¬
ber 3. that if there are any voters
who contemplate affiliating with
1 lie populists that they will have
changed their minds and vote the
Democratic ticket, which is essen*
lial to the prosperity of the South
and the preservation ot her liber¬
ties.
Uopulist statesmen in congress
would place a per capita debt oi
$395 on every man, w'omaii and
child in the United States Don’t
you know, my friends, that it is
not sensible to vote to uphold
and upbuild such a party? it is
detrimental to the interest of the
poor man’s pocket, and a mighty
good way to make bloated billion¬
aire bond holders.
We predict that populism will
cease to be in Georgia after next
Wednesday. Georgians are not
fools by any manner of means,
and the false ideas that the
ble leaders of this party are try¬
ing to propagate upon this people
will be crushed asunder next
Wednesday. We can stand the
crushing, but oh. good Lord, the
stench that it will create will be
very uu pleasant to our olfactories.
The colored republicans of
Watkins ville district of Oconee
_____
couutv have given notice to
populists of what the. demand
the price ot thei, vote, in the
ing elecMoiK Au equal number ol
blacks and whites on all juries,
the increase of the terms of the
colored schools to six rnont bs. and
school books , for . alt ,, colored , ,
free
children who attend the
schools. That is pretty good
a starter.
OUR POSITION.
We regret exceedingly that our
ponition in the late canvass be
tween Gen. Clement A. Evans and
Hon. W. Y. Atkinson has alienat
ed from us some of our best
friends. We regret it more in si
lence than sorrow, and we hope
that those of our friends who are
hurt witn us will accord us the
same honest opinion that we ac¬
cord them. We believed then, and
do now, that Mr, AtkinsoD was the
stronger man for the position,
though many of our friends dif¬
fered with us. He it was who
was instrumental in rolling up
such a rousing majority for De¬
mocracy two years ago. He is a
true and sagacious leader, and un¬
derstands thoroughly the political
machinery of the State, as will be
demonstrated next Wednesday at
the election.
You who have grown luke-warm
in the cause which those peerless
Georgia statesmen—Toombs, Hill
Stevens, Cobb and others—advo¬
cated and fought for—State’s
rights, economical government
and the preservation of all of the
liberties of the South, which we
do now r enjoy, but which is threat¬
ened by populistic rule—gather
ye together once more and pile
up one of those majorities char¬
acteristic of Dodge county. Let’s
make her the banner Democratic
county of the State.
Every sensible man knows that
good government follows the tri¬
umph of the Democratic party, and
if the press of the country would
yield to every little question of
expediency the country would go
to halifax faster than a horse could
run, or a mule could relax his
hindmost extremities. But we
don’t intend that these things
shall happen, and as long as we
stand at the head of the press
this county we shall fight
Democratic principles
knowing no friends or enemies.
But for a few' men who stood
the breech during reconstruction
days, when Georgia was
carpet-bag rule, knowing
friends nor no enemies,
to no one who poured into
credulous ear the delusive
tom of hope, this country
have today been a second
These men fought a good
they kept the faith; they stood
the rights of the people, and
day the peasants of America
joy equally the same
and privileges that the rich
does. We will not falter.
ocrats may change their politics
little sometimes, but in the
they will see the inexpediency
their course, and will turn to t
piess who, in friendship, has
fered with them on a question
expediency and we will be
brethren again, and fight
in the same bond of love and
lowship that characterized
forefathers.
“We will not falter,
If we do the stones beneath us
mariner out,
And all the winds that round us
Will whisper of our shame about.
Cutlet the earthquake rock the

COURT ADJOURNS.
Dodge superior court adjourned
last Friday evening until the sec
ond Monday in December, at
which time the murder cases
against E. Johnson and against
Livingston and Evans are set for
trial,
Judge Gamble, of the Middle
Circuit, presided during the week
and gave general satisfaction.
He is a model judge—clear, quick
and impartial. He is unrivalled
as an executive officer.
The celebrated Empire lumber
case came up on Fiiday before
Judge Hunt. Among the law¬
yers present were Col N. E. Har¬
ris, Messrs. Dessau & Hodges,
Judge Kibbee and Col. Estes of
Macon.
A great deal of argument was
had, resulting at last in an order
to selFthe Empire mills property
within sixty days for $50,000—
one-half cash and the balance in
s'X and twelve months.
The Dodge County Game Law.
As the law regulating the kill¬
ing of game in this county does
not seem to be well understood,
I respectfully ask for space to sav
a few w'oids on that subject:
The act ot the legislature pub
lished in the acts ot 1893,page 127,
prohibits the killing of wild tur¬
keys, partridges, snipe and pheas¬
ants between the first day of April
and the first day of October, and
doves between the first day of
April and the 15th day of July,
and further prohibits the selling
or offering for sale any such game
between these dates,
The special act for Dodge coun¬
ty passed by the same legislature
found in the same volume, page
291, goes much further. This act
provides that, “it shall be unlaw¬
ful for any persoD, at any time, to
trap, net, buy, sell or offer for
sale within the limits of said coun¬
ty of Dodge, to ship or remove out
of said county of Dodge, for the
purpose of sale, barter or profit,
any wild turkey, wild duck, part¬
ridge or quail, dove, snipe, wood¬
cock or other game bird, be the
same dead or alive, and the remov¬
ing or shipping of any such game
by anv person from said county
shall be prima facie evidence of
an intention to sell the same.”
The penalty for the violation of
this act is not less than ten nor
more than one hundred dollars,
imprisonment in jaii or work on
the chaingang, not less than fifteen
nor more than ninety days, either
or all, in the discretion of the
court, and one half the net fine to
be paid to the prosecutor and the
other half to go to the school fund
of the county.
This act was passed last Decem¬
ber, but inasmuch as it was not
generally known and understood
there was no effort made to en¬
force it, altnough were were fre¬
quent and continued violations of
this law in many portions ot the
county during the entire winter.
The object of the law is to preserve
the game by preventing its being
killed for market and its entire de¬
struction by the “pot hunter.”
It will only be a very few years,
if the market hunter is allowed to
roam at large, before the quail
or partride will be practically ex¬
terminated, as is now the case in
many counties of the state. There
can be no excuse this season tor
any man in not knowing the law
on the subject. It is a good law
and ought to be enforced.
Let eveiy man in the county
who can and wtio feels an interest
in the game of the county, meet
at the court house next Tuesday
evening at 3 o’clock for the pur¬
pose of organizing to protect law our
game and to enforce the
