The recent high-handed work of
the republicans in defrauding demo-
out of their scats should be a
warning to our people not to allow
them the least ground for a contest.
It is true the republicans have not
put out any candidate and it is not
reasonable to suppose they will, but
too much apathy on our part might
j n „pj re them to make an effort, and
then we would need an overwhelm¬

A Model Georgia Farmer.
Mr. Robert Washburn, of Oconee
county, has demonstrated in a very
handsome way what a man of brains
and industry can accomplish as a
farmer. Five years ago he bought
185 acres of the poorest land in his
county, paving a nominal price for it.
Its average yield at that time was a
bale of cotton to five and a half acres.
Mr. Washburn went to work with a
determination to put new life into
the old land. lie employed two
hands and worked w ith them. lie
terraced his fields and fertilized the
soil. His first year’s work was made
profitable by his close application
and admirable business methods.
What he made that year beyond his
necessary expenses he placed in im¬
provements on the place and in the
better preparation of the land. Each
year’s work has brought better re¬
turns. From the profits on his small
farm lie has built a neat and conven-
ient dwelling and an excellent barn,
besides other outhouses. Last year
Washburn, with two mules and
two hired men, made forty-six bales
of cotton, every one of them above
500 pounds, 700 bushels of com, 100
bushels of w heat, a large crop of oats,
more meat tliau he could use, and
100 bushels of potatoes. Ilis crop
this year will, it is said, be still more
valuable. Mr. Washburn has made
a most honorable record, but he lias
simply done what any intelligent, in¬
dustrious and enterprising farmer
can do in Georgia. The number of
those who are making the old red
hills to blossom and worn out fields
to smile with plenty is increasing
every year.—Teleuraiih.

The Farmer and His Fight
The falling off of certain crops in
the north and w’est enables the farin-
ers to command better prices. With
characteristic impudence the republi¬
can leaders claim that this increase
in the prices of farm products is the
result of their recent legislation.
The monopolists and their partisan
tools will soon learn that the average
farmer has been doing a good deal of
thinking during the past few years.
He is able to distinguish the work of
the politicians from the work of
Providence. Face to face with the
hard problem of earning his daily
bread, he has made himself acquaint-
od in a practical way with the great
basic laws of true economy. He knows
something about the robber tariff,
unequal taxation, watered stocks and
other vicious systems. He knows
that the monopolists arc banded to-
gethcr with the partisans in power to
increase his burdens aud make him
the serf of
The farmer understands the situa-
tion, and has made up his mind to
fight his oppressors aud plunderers to
the death. It is no use to tell him
wlieu natural causes enable him to
prosper for a season, that lie owes
hisgood fortune to high protection, to
the plutocrats and the trusts. What
the farmer is fighting is injustice, and
he wU1 rc8,8t a wron ? ful aUen ‘P‘ to
take one cent from hiiu just as vigor¬
ously as he would in the case of a
larger sum. He realizes the fact that
the principle of the thing must be
fought.

GOV. GORDON.
We have read the recent splendid
tribute to Gordon by the eminent
preacher, Dr. Hawthorne of Atlanta.
It is worthy of the author and the
subject. It was the genuine appre¬
ciation of a great soul by another
great soul uttered in words winged
with power, grace, and beauty. It is
almost worth being traduced, ma¬
ligned, ami misrepresented, as Gor¬
don has been, to be oulogized and de¬
fended in such a manner and with
such a spirit, as Hawthorne has
shown. It is not at all surprising.
It takes the orator to understand the
orator, the noble to appreciate the
noble, and the good to defend the
good. And until real worth is gone
from human life, until devotion is a
lost feeling and patriotism a dream,
such men as Haw thorne will do honor
to the characters and names of such
men as Gordon.
We have also read with a thrill of
emotion the splendid peroration of
Gov. Gordon’s grand speech recently
delivered at Milieu. It was eloquent
and pathetic, and like the divining
rod its bubbling emotions “trembled
towards the inner fount of feeling.”
How touching to every confederate
veteran present must have been the
words of the battled-scarred chief¬
tain, as he alluded in his own match¬
less way to the merciless reaper whose
scythe is gradually mowing down the
heroes of the lost eause, and sending
them one by one to the everlasting
camping ground beyond the silent
river. Confederate veterans! Mon¬
uments of the “storm-cradled nation
that fell,” hail to your honored pres¬
ence while you linger on the shores
of time! And hail to the chieftain
who delights to honor you while glo¬
rifying the cause for wliich you fought
and suffered!
How the writer of this article re¬
grets that he was not present at Mil-
len to hear the speech that rose into
such melting sublimity at its close.
We heard Gen. Gordon once when
he was at home in his theme. It was
on the occasion of Confederate Vet¬
erans’ Day at the Chautauqua in
of last year. His speech that day
was an unpremeditated overflow
feeling bubbling up amid liis
words and falling softly on the
and spell-bound senses of his hearers,
as fall the dews of heaven on
lawn that has been “shaven by
scythe and leveled by the roller.”
We shall never forget his speech that
summer day. It soared aloft on
wingH of patriotic emotion until it
lifted us up in the rapt whirl of
pulsing passion. It towered above
our commonplace conceptions as some
lofty Himalayan peak towers above
the surrounding hills. We said to
ourself that day, as we listened to the
silvery music of his voice, its empha¬
sis, inflection, and cadence, “Gordon
is an orator.” We followed his
words, as sentence after sentence of
beauty and grandeur leaped forth
like a mountain streamlet to gladden
the day, and we said, “Gordon is a
poet.” W e gathered home his argu¬
ment, his treatment of questions
around which hovered interests of
national import, and we said, “Gor¬
don is a statesman.” Wc caught the
idea of his conception of duty—duty
to himself, his home, his friends, and
his country,—aud we said, “Gordon
is a patriot.” We saw the scar that
he won to his glory in the red tide of
battle, aud wc said, “Gordon is a hero.”
So we said that day while under the
immediate spell of the influence that
came from bis presence and his ora¬
tory. So we said while wc felt the
charm of his winning grace of atti¬
tude, his high-bred courtesy of man¬
ner, and the glance of his eye that
was as the lightning flash which pre¬
ceded the thumlcr-tones of his ut
thought. So we said then, and
wc say now. As governor cf
Georgia he has been so true and pure
in his high office, that he will retire
from that office with his good name
as staiulcss as was his sword when he
retired from the war in which he bat¬
tled so manfully for Southern rights
aud Southern honor. For all his ser¬
vices, military and civil, a seat in the
Senate of the United States is now
but a due rew'ard from the people of
Georgia to John B. Gordon. To be
sure we have other able men and ac¬
complished statesmen, but not one
whose claims can be set up as equal
to his. Does any Georgian wish to
see him stand out by the political
wayside now as lonely and as cold as
the lonesome chimneys that stood
where the vandal hordes of Sherman
had passed along on their fanatical
raid of ruin anil devastion in the days
that are gone ? We can not believe
that such a thing can ever lie. We
rather believe that the confederate
veterans will so gather to his support
and so clamor for his election, that
the legislature will feel it their bouml-
en duty to heed the cry of those who
were true to Georgia and the South
in the gone-by “times that tried men’s
souls.” Let our gallant Gordon be
honored still, and our genial Georgia
will have nothing to regret, and our
reviving South nothing to lose.

NOTICE.
All who are indebted to me indi¬
vidually, or to The Entkupkisk,
would do me a great favor by settling

compelled to collect. I trust that
my friends who are indebted to me
will not consider this notice as an in¬
dication of uneasiness on my part
that they will not pay me, but the
intention is to impress them that I
am greatly in need of money now.
Very respectfully,

A Letter from an Eminent Diiine in Re¬
gard to the Best Medicine in the
World. Read.
WONDERFUL CURES.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2, ’90.
Six months ago, at the request of
a friend who was interested in the
sale of King’s Royal Germetuer, I
made a written statement of the ben¬
efits I had received from the use of
that medicine. In that statement I
expressed the belief that it would
cure me entirely of Catarrh. Within
the last two months I have received
letters from every quarter of the na¬
tion calling on me for further infor¬
mation in regard to my health. It
has been impossible for me to write
privately to each person who has
made this request, and I am there¬
fore under the necessity of making
another statement.
I am free from Catarrh. Ibeleive
that I could get a certificate to this
effect from any competent physi¬
cian. I have used no medicine with¬
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Germetuer. My health is bet¬
ter than it has been in thirty years.
I am in poscssion of information
which warrants me in saying that the
relief which I have experienced from
the use of the medicine is not more
certain and radical than that which
it lias brought to hundreds of per¬
sons in Georgia and other States.
I feel it to be my duty to say, al¬
so, that the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal aud wonderful. She has been
almost a life-long invalid from Ner¬
vous Headache, Neuralgia and rheu¬
matism. In a period of thirty years
she has scarcely had a day’s exemption
from pain. She has been using Ger¬
metuer about two months. A
complete transformation I have nev¬
er witnessed. Every symptom of
disease has disappeared. She ap¬
pears to be twenty years younger,
and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. We have
many of our friends to take the
icine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.

Royal Germetuer builds up
the first dose, the patient
feeling its invigorating and health-
giving influence. It increases
appetite, aids digestion, clears
complexion, regulates the liver, kid¬
neys, etc., and speedily brings
to the check, strength to the
and joy to the heart. For
and debilitated females it is
a rival or peer.

and fail of a cure, send stamp
