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.

Let every democrat that possibly can, take enough time to go to his nearest precinct, and vote for Lawson on the 4th day of November. 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. __ t _ _ 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. The fight of the farmer is rapidly becoming the people’s fight.

Morgan H. Looney’s Colm. 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.

All who are indebted to me indi¬ vidually, or to The Entkupkisk, would do me a great favor by settling as early as possible, as I have sus¬ tained a very heavy loss recently, and my obligations arc such that I am 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.

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.
