Tuts week’s elections will settle

Tiik people have begun to fee!
hopeful in regard to the Force bill.
It looks now that the Inn in ess men
t l the country might defeat it.
Senator C’olqittt made an able
tariff reform speech a few days ago
in the senate, and has received the
congratulation.;, id the lending demo¬
crats on every side.
“The Banner editor” says that if
Clarke county goes for Olive that it
will vindicate his position. Wc won¬
der what it will vindicate if the county
should go against Mr. Olivo.
The republicans will stoop to any¬
thing to keep in power, blit their
days are numbered if the laboring
people will continue their fight for
tariff reform and a more liberal cur¬
rency.
Let the farmers of Franklin county
give Hunnieiitt a solid support to-day
ami sit down on Henderson, who was
not willing for the people to have a
voice in the election of this impor¬
tant officer.
The white people of b’outh Caro¬
lina will soon lie, if not already, di¬
vided into three parties—the “Til-
jnanites,” “Straight-outs” and the re¬
publicans. We fear the latter, with
its negroes, will be the dominant
party.
The vote in the Fourth congres¬
sional district stands thus: Moses, 10;
Grimes, 11; S. W. Harris, 4; Gor¬
man, 4; If. R, Harris, none. Chat¬
tahoochee's delegates are uninstruct-
cd. This gives Grimes a small plu¬
rality to enter the Convention with,
but he may not hold it,

J he nu reliant, lnanufaetnrer, miller,
etc., have to closet their convictions
or run a very great risk of having
their bu.incss ruined, The proba-
biiity is that times am as good as ever
before, but it is to be rogiettcd that
they are not better. One man’s con¬
victions should on]v h.,uujiplantodby
the convictions of another which are
clearer and more equitable, and both
should have thr respect and friend¬
ship of everybody. “Honesty is the
best policy” an 1 always will be.
(treat and true leaders are nnwaver-
ing in their convictions, though ma¬
jorities vise against them as high as
the mountains. These men of con¬
vict! art t’.'.c men that have fought
for vantage ground and firmly held it,
though they remained long in the mi
a. irity. Let us throw off th„ mantle
of policy and demagoguery and gird
on the armor of conviction and honor,
and then we can fight the battles oi
manhood and progress.
Force Against Force.
Governor Campbell, of Ohio, is no
timid submisvioiiist. He declares
that if the force bill becomes a law
he will adopt a policy of blood and
iron. He says:
‘■If federal supervisors, deputy
marshals, and spies attempt to inter¬
ior,' withe the congressional elections
in Ohio next November, 1 w ill order
out the militia of the state and drive
them from the polls and thus protect
the freedom of the ballot and the
rights (,f the people. If the force
bill i- designed, as wo all know It is,
for the purpose of causing trouble
and giving the republicans an oppor¬
tunity to steal the elections in demo¬
cratic states and districts, the sooner
the issue is met tlie better it will be
for the country at large. I shall not
permit any intei forcnce in the con¬
duct of the elections in my state if I
have to use the whole of its military
power to prevent such interference.”
A Ceur.ty Court.
Franklin county needs a county
court and sin needs it badly. Pris¬
oners lie in jail hero for mouths
charged with insignificant offen.es,
the trial ami conviction of whom does
nothing for the benefit of humanity,
and at the same time impoverishes
the county. Then if men put in jail
are innocent they should have n
speedy trial and released before their
health is wrecked by Ring in a jail
that i: a disgrace to a civilized coun¬
try and unlit iVv any human being to
be confined in.

Ck-waits Withdraws.
Judson C.Clements lias withdrawn
from the congressional race in the
Seventh. This leaves a char field
for Mr. Everett, the Alliance candi¬
date. Clements was a splendid man,
and vc fear that Everett is not his
equal.
Another Trust.
There is a movement on foot to
form a meat trust, which would be
the most powerful if perfected that
lias ever been organized. The peo¬
ple arc learning how to whip trusts,
and Imp] ily for them.

Prosperous Georgia.
The tax returns of thirty-three
counties show an increase in property
to the amount of .neatly six millions
of dollars. This is the greatest pros¬
perity Georgia has over witnessed,
Tin: Atlanta Constitution and the
Evening Journal are outspoken in
their favor for Henderson for com¬
missioner of agriculture, as they feel
confident he is on the big side, but
they are remarkably silent on other
matters where tho big side is some-

TEE PBXSONEP.S ESCAPE
Woodea Key* Give Thera Liberty-
Two of Thera IU captured.
On last Sunday nioininh at 2:140
o’clock the quietude of onr little town
was disturbed by an alarm given that
the prisoners (ten in number) had all
esc aped from the jail. As soon as
possible a party of the citizens in town
entered the jail and found every c< 11
door standing wide open and the locks
fitting on the floor. Immediately
,„ )lw |s of three and four were organ-
iml and started out to head them off,
hut it i thought now tl,at they had
K , PU ou , i„ ngc . r than was believed at
the time and were many miles from
('arncsvillo when the alarm was
given. However, the parties struck
their tracks early in the morning and
pursued the most of them to the Tu-
gnlo river, which they crossed in time
to make good their escape. Two
negroes were not so lucky. They
made in the direction of Habersham
county and were captured in the
woods in that county. The two that
were captured seem to be ignorant
as to who made the keys that released
them, stating that they knew nothing
about the matter until they were
aroused and found their doors open.
There wi re four doors to unlock—
three cell doors and the hail door.
All of flic keys were carried off ex¬
cept one, and if it hud not been found
the people would never have known
iiow they got out. The key was
n.. fie of well-seasoned hickory wood,
and is almost perfect in ita imitation
• f the j ill key. Sheriff McConnell
was not here, having gone to Clarks¬
ville with John Kesler, who was car¬
ried to that jail on account of his ill
health.
