Our Political “ Slate-Makers.”
The Houston Home Journal says:
“The slate-making politicians of
the third district will defeat the
nomination of Mr. Lewis if they
can. We understand their slate
involves the promotion of several
ambitious men, as follows : Fort
for congress, ,J udge C. 0. Smith for
railroad commissioner; Solicitor
Tom Eason for judge of the Oc
mulgee circuit; O. R. Warren for

Not for a Corpse.
Discussing with a party of con¬
gressmen not long since what the
National Democratic platform
should contain this year, Private
John Allen told a story about a
woman who went into a store to
buy a wrapper, and after exhaust¬
ing the patience of the clerk, and
tumbling over the whole stock, fi¬
nally selected a very cheap one,
remarking: “ It doesn't make any
difference; it’s for a corpse.”
It may be quite a funny story,
but the moral Mr. Allen would
point with it is considerabty at
fault. In the first place it is no
cock-sure thing that democracy is
to be beaten this year. If it makes
the right kind of platform and
puts the right kind of man on it,
and the republicans straddle the
financial question and put up Mc
thrt’dU^y'wilf.^ptto p lle y on a } l \Z h protective plat
country.
In the second place, whether it
does or nu L it is exceedingly im
portant that democracy present an
honest, clear cut and unequivocal
platform. It may not win, but it
will make history and set prece
dents. It is one of the peculian
^ fi the deSet of “the'
c even when defeated tor a long
series of years. It has done its
best work' when in the minoritv
a »d without the spoils of office.
| the It is paladium the great conservative force,
and bulwark of pro¬
tection for the cherished institu¬
tions of the republic.
And so, though Mr. Allen may
be tunny, he is not wrong. Democ¬
racy must be true to itself and its
traditions, and build its platform
with even more care than if victo¬
leaves ry was in waiting for it with laurel
hand.—Georgia Cracker.
Joint Debates Oft
The joint debates between lion.
Charles F. Ciisp and Secretary
Hoke Smith have been declared
off.
Mr. Crisp was obliged to call off
the debates on account of throat
trouble, and upon the suggestion
of his physician.
Mr. Crisp, however, proposes to
meet Mr. duBignon on the stump
later in the season.
COCHRAN CHR0N1CLINGS.
April 16.—Old Pulaski is “boil¬
ing over”with candidates,and they
come from every section of the
county.
There are already three announce¬
ments made for tax receiver, viz :
J. H. Coleman, G. W. Whitfield
and J. R. Taylor. Taking every¬
thing into consideration it is gen¬
erally conceded by every one that
Mr. Taylor will receive a big ma
jority over his opponents.
Messrs. A. J. Vaughn and W.G.
Hunt are in the race for sheriff.
This contest will likely be close.
W. A. Ferguson is the only an¬
nounced candidate for county
treasurer. He has filled the office
for years, and it seems to the sat¬
isfaction of all.
No one will hardly have the
courage to announce against Mr.
H. A. Haskins for tax collector, as
it would be useless, for Pulaski
has never had a better officer.
Jno. T. Holland and P T Me

Not to Be Trifled With.
(From the Cincinnati Gazette.)
Will people never learn that a
“cold” is an accident to be dread
ed, and that when it occurs treat
ment should be promptly applied?
There is no knowing where the
trouble will end; and while corn
plete recovery is the rule, the ex¬
ceptions are terribly frequent, and
thousands upon thousands of fatal
illnesses occur every year ushered
in by a little injudicious exposure
and seemingly trifling symptoms.
Beyond this, there are to-day
countless invalids who can trace
their complaints to “cold,” which
at the time of occurrence gave no
concern, and were therefore neg¬
lected. When troubled with a
cold use Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. It is prompt and ef¬
fectual.
