To the Democracy cf the Eighth Con¬
gressional Distri.t.
Elukutox, Ga., Oct. 20, 1890. In
view of the late action of the Repub¬
lican party, in the National House of
Representatives, in turning out Dem¬
ocrats elected by overwhelming ma¬
jorities. I desire to call attention of
all Democrats to the importance of
going to the polls, on the 1th day of
November, and voting for the nomi¬
nee of the Sth district, lion. Thomas
G. Lawson.
Do not he indifferent and trust to
the fact that the opposition has pre-
sented no candidate, for it is not too
late for one to offer, not with hope of
election,but trusting to being seated
by a Republican majority, for parti¬
san purposses.
Our standard bearer is worthy of
our utmost efforts.
The enemy is crafty and wide¬
awake. Let us not he lulled into
false seeuritv, but on the 4th of No¬
vember, go as one man to the polls
and roll up such a majority for Hon.
M hos. (4. Lawson, as even Speaker
Reed cannot overrule.

London again. It seems to he be¬
yond the power of the detectives and
police to catch him.
Politics in South Carolina are at
fever heat. Wade Hampton will
vote the Tillman ticket, but his sym¬
pathies are with Haskell.
Fifty thousand new men arc on the
polling list in Chicago, half of whom
have been notified to appear and es¬
tablish their right to vote.
Tiik Georgia dailies are now chock
full of circus literature. They ought
to decide “comps” with the country
editors and give them a chance to
see something.
Thk annual convention of the
C. T. U. will meet in Atlanta early
in November. Over six hundred lady
delegates will be present from all
over the Union.
Fori: negroes made a desperate
atternjit to escape from jail iu Lau¬
rens county last Friday. The jail
was burned to the ground, and the
prisoners were carried to 31aeon for
safe keeping.
Ykstkiuia v was the day set apart
for Tom Woolfolk to expatiate his
horiblc crime by hanging by the neck
until he is dead. At last reports he
still claimed his innocence, and said
he was ready to die. lie has been
reading his Bible for some time, and
has professed religion. He

Skekkks after health and pleasure
can get both combined very cheap
this winter. On December the 1st
thc Alliance Exposition will open at
Ocaola, Fla., and on the 2nd. the
National Farmers’ Alliance will meet
in that city. The Exposition will be
ojieii sixty days, and excursion rates
will be cheaper than ever before of¬
fered.
Application will be made to the
next legislature of Georgia for an act
to amend the prohibition law of Hart
county arid provide a “system to es¬
tablish an agent in the county of
Hart for the purpose of selling liquor
for medicinal purposes only, and for
other purposes.” If the amendment
is made the sick list in that county-
will he on the increase.
The Constitution has gotten its
back uj), and is making rapid prepa¬
rations to make somebody ’s fur fly.
It says: “ IFkoevcr says the Consti¬
tution has entered into any compact,
understanding or agreement, in any
manner what-soever, remotely or in¬
directly, by which the paper, or any
one connected with it, is to be the
recipient of Alliance favors, is a wil¬
ful and deliberate liar.”
PUBLIC BRIDGES.
To the tax payers of Franklin coun¬
ty: Have yon ever thought about
the surplus tax we pay on the public
bridges in this county, besides the
work of keeping them up? At the
least calculation it is ten dollars per
bridge, besides the htiiidmg ami ro-
pairing*. ls there no remedy for that.

trict thirty-six feet long. l~f they

on their horses and ride around and
meet, no with a -fellow, “Ha!
there- is a pl.uk or two off this bridge
down here; fix them back I will pay, »
and then they get two dollars for
examining each bridge. Why can't
we jmt that in the Ordinay's hands
and do away with the commissioners?

a crossing with ir.v Waterloo medal
on my breast, and say to each sleek
citizen that passed me, I helped to
save y< u from the sword of the
Frenchman, and it is your shame it
I starve.” We were reminded
this passage in the great English
novelist’s fine hook when, pencil in
hand and paper before us, we sat
down a few minutes ago to write
something about our Confederate
veterans. True, the most of them
are not poor enough to be beggars
not even for pensions. (No! they
leave that for northern soldiers!)
Rut there are < (her things to live for
and to be glad of besides money and
provisions. And chief among
tilings arc the memory and recogni¬
tion by our fellow-citizens < f
rendered, and gratitude for the same.
Very few of the Confe derates vet¬
erans (thank Cod!) are in a condition
t0 need pensions, and still fewer re-
j <Iuo receiving “ l110 t!)e pecuniary necessity of benefits. asking Rut
or
human nature revolts at ingratitude,
and tlie nobler the nature the more
poignant the '.round when it comes.
The world is acquainted with the
circumstances that attended the
death ol the gieat Reman geueial,
Julius Caesar. And Mark Antony,
m his funeral oration over the man¬
gled body of his friend, struck a chord
in the wide heart of humanity when
he said: “Ingratitude more strong
than traitors’ aims quite vanquished
him.” It was not so much the twen-
ty-three stabs of envious trai¬
tors and assassins that broke
the mighty heart of Caesar, as it was
the “most unkindest cut of all” that
came from the dagger of his com
panion and friend, the forever infa¬
mous Brutus. As it was then so it
is now. Would we heap the very
refinement of cruelty and mean ess
on a benefactor, we have but to show
him how little we remember or care
for what he has done for us. In
other words, we need only show him
tiie ingratitude so common and
deplorable among the ranks of the
men and women of the world.
Ah poor human nature! How- prone
we arc to forget every thing but in¬
sults and injuries! There was a
time when these veterans took tire in
lives on their sleeves when they took
their stand in the battle to defend
from the ruthless hate of the yankce
invader,—invader of rights, territory,
and honor. Rut that time has pass¬
ed away, and with it (alas with too
many of us!) has passed also the due
recognition of the unstained heroism
of those terrible times. It is fast; be¬
coming so that the country fails to
appreiate the sacrificial offerings
made by these veterans on the altars
of their dear native land. New ideas,
new hopes, new objects arc now to
absorb the attention of the “New
South,” a term of derision invented
by our enemies to show us how much
better they think they have made
than we were before their infamous
war of subjugation! Alas alas! And
has it come at last to this? Is our
chivalry of honor, our pride of home,
and our “unbought grace of life” to
be yielded in the fawning sycophancy
that would pander to the pride and
the insolence of the victorious despot?
God forbid! And yet it seems very
like it in the shajie of the tools that
are now being moulded on the anvil
of selfinterest from the hot blast of
the furnace of political seething.
Are we getting tired of showing
respect and uoing honor to Confed-
crate veterans? If so, we need not
have to wait very long. Scon they
will trouble our New South polities
no more. One by one they are pass¬
ing oil to where the daylight of their
toils is glimmering and paling on the
sunset shore. Foon the wild rose-
will .‘died its vanishing fragrance ovei
the hollowed grave of the last Con¬
federate soldier. But while they ai e
with us still, while patriotbiu is s
beauty end scars won in the battle
for freedom a glory, let us bring the
cheap offerings of gratitude to the
memory of their heroic deeds, and
twine the home garlands of appreci¬
ation for their honored brows. And
when they are all gene, and the
dreaming shadows wave over then
resting places, let us teach our child¬
ren to go on grateful pilgrimages of j
love and memory to the hallowed
turf beneath which reposes the holy
dust of those who v ere willing to
die for “the land we love.”

A Letter from an Eminent Divine in Re¬
gard to tiie Best Medicine in the
World. Read,
WOXDEHFUL (UIU'.S.
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 2, TO.
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-
ofits 1 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 pliysi-
cum. I have used no medicine wilii-
in the last six months except King’s
Royal Germetuer. M v health is bet¬
ter than it has been in thirty years.
T am in pos-ession 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 has brought to hundreds of per¬
sons iu Georgia and other States.
I feel it to he my duty to say, al¬
so, that the effects of this remedy
upon my wife have been even more
signal and 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 wring Ger¬
metuer about two months. A more
complete transformation I have nev¬
er witnessed. Every symptom of
disease lias disappeared. She ap¬
pears to he twenty years younger,
and is as happy and playful as a
healthy child. We have persuaded
many of our friends to take the med¬
icine, and the testimony of all of
them is that it is a great remedy.
J. R. IIawtiiounk,
Pastor First Baptist Church.
Royal Germetuer builds up from
the first dose, the patient quickly

giving influence.. It increases the
