THE SMALL POLITICIAN.
A greater truth wa° never ut¬
tered than the statement of Hon.
Pope Brown in* his speech before
the agricultural convention at
Quitt man last, week, when in
touching upon labor and the race
problem lie said: l k The small pol
tician also causes friction between
the races. By submitting every
question, county municipal and
state, to a white primary, this
trouble could be averted and bet¬
ter government would be secured
in all cases.”
But the small politician objects
to a white primary, and unfortu¬
nately he too often controls the
elect ion machinery, He cares for
nothing save the office, even if he
secures it by carrying a bottle of
whiskey in one pocket, a pistol
in tin* other, and hugging negroes
with both arms. Tis a shame
that such a man was ever elevated
to any position higher than that
of a well digger, but hundreds of
om niv leoted to r^sponsibh*
positions every year, disgracing
the office in which they have been
placed, and bringing reproach up
on the tin, law law and a.m the xm government
No wonder the negro has become
lax in h is conduct toward white
peo'dtf. The small politician has
... a ' „ him an ' nnd the masses of
the white race have the conse¬
quences to suffer.
Eliminate the small politician
and the false teaching of Northern
curs. Thin will ,«« maturinlly

an executive chair.
Mormonism has received a black

The price of cotton seems to be

Tlio “small politician” is now
laying his plans for the
campaign, and now is the

An exchange wants to
why it is that a lady will
her dress so long that it trails the
ground, and then when she goes
out on the streets hold it up
her shoe-tops. We are unable to
answer the question, and we

inc-ss, anyway.
At Mt. Vernon the old historic
Adams family had their annual
birthday Thursday of last week,
t" the delight of ail present. Great
great grandma Francis Adams,
V,; i s W> years of age last Thursday,
and sixty-eight of her 12S living
descendants met at the home of
Mr. T. B. Adams near that place
and celebrated grandma’s Doth
birthday. Every thing in the way
of eatables and amusements were
on hand, and the mirthful notes
of the merrymakers were heard
on hand.
HAS IT LOME TO THIS.’
W- have it on the authority of
the Tribune of New York that an
order has been issued by the cap
tain or one of the precincts of
that city that all negroes found
wandering about at night in that
precinct will be locked up unless
they can satisfactorily explain
their business.
It seems that there is trouble
with the negroes in some parts of
the north, and they are not crowd¬
ing the white people there either
as they are in the south, The
northern people are finding out
that there are some very bad men
among the negroes, and that it is
becoming as necessary there to
protect white women against them
as it is here in the south, We
shall not he surprised if at any
time we see in the newspapers
that a negro has been lynched in
the city of NewYo k. One lynch¬
ing of a negro there for assaulting
a white woman would pret ty effec¬
tually spike the guns of those pa¬
pers which see only the lynching,
and not the crime committed by
the person lynched, when a negro
is dealt with by a mob in the
South.
The immediate occasion of the
foregoing order was an assault
made on a man and woman by a
burly negro near the Home of In
curallies in New York on last
Wednesday night. A physician
named Jackson was walking with
a young girl. Suddenly and un
expectedly he was attacked by a
negro, much lus superior m size
and strength. He was first struck
by a stone and then knocked down,
When the negro thought he had
practical . , y settled i the ,i man he . at- .
tacked the girl. He knocked hei
choked her and was
lagging her off the road when
her screams attracted the atten-

Ware county’s representative
in the Georgia legislature has been
bound over to the Enited States
court upon the charge of-illicit
whiskey distilling. Illicit diinl -
ing is nothing uncommon among
this class of men, but we are sur
prised that their demand should
become greater than the supply,
thus forcing them to the alter
native of manufacturing
stuff.
Commander St. John, of the
British cruiser, Peacock, who has
been spending some time at Mu
nilla, says that Gen. Otis is utter¬
ly ignorant of the necessities or
responsibilities of a campaign in
the tropics, and that he should lie
re-called. We do not know that
Mr. St. John has got anything to
do with the matter, but a large
part of the American people are
thinking about tlie same thing.
Three men have been arrested
and imprisoned for the lynching
of Si Smith, who was shot to death
in the Hall county jail. One of
the party confessed to his part in
the crime and implicated a num¬
ber of others. What will be done
with these men is an interesting
question. If the evidence is suffi
cient. they should be convicted
and punished, but it is doubtful
whether or not they will be.
However, Hall county now has an
opportunity to administer an effec
tive blow to promiscuous lynch
mg. Will she do it?
