Cecil, September 20.—This seems <to be an “off year” in politics. Eve rybody is off tbo track and running ■ like blazes. We don’t read tbe pa pers a' week to find out that the American people arc immensely rot- ion. The political mud-slingcr is now, at his best. To own tlint your political ■opponent is a gentleman is “fresh,’ We Berrien yelpers are about the only people who daro to advance an opinion. The supercilious nowspa pers who so deftly call for fair play, while playing foul, deserve to lose the patronage of every'man whom they insult. Jj for one have uo use for a newspapor which descends to low abuse instead of argument. - A government by one political party is islwajp a corrupt tyranny. Democracy is a government by the people and for tho people, securing ibe greatest good to the greatest major ity. Free speech is necessary to its maintenance. I am buoIi a democrat. Air. II, H. ICnight, the embryo representative from Berried county, is airing himself in Cecil today. Ilchry does not seem tired and I pre sume, therefore, ho is just walking ahead of his competitor. Thus it «vor is with the people’s choice. And still it rains, an if tho stare wero trying to wash the mud off onr Would-be statesmen which thoy are just now industriously daubing on each others “honorable bodies.” Sue- jcoss to the stars, as we aro in deed of clean lawmakers. As an acrobat the graat Atlanta Constitution would succeed success itself, and a number of lesser lights could run tho machine if the 61d man wpre sick, It is a fact worthy of .jioto that badges wore extensively worn in 1800, The fad, was first in troduced into England by York and Lancaster with the while and red roses. England washed with blood and wiped up with tax bills—so was Unwlo Sammy’s threshing floor in - the sixties. No badge for me. I and like the old man Alifey; lie said he would “go to tho war when it came near chough that ha could go and fight all day and go hack and Btay with Sarah and tho children at night, Sarah was skerry and ho'wouldn’t go back on her for no mail.” My old lady says she can manage the place for awhilo very Veil, but then, a man always knows best, and I also want to train my boys in the way they will go whether it is best or not. Bohemian, It’s not vory pleasant to cough and back,' To surfer pain in oliest and bank Hinny people could stop it. for sure By simply using One Minute Cough Cure. Dr. J. a. Goodman. ———-—•» Sparks Sparkltngs. Spauks, September 21.—Possibly somo reader of the gallant .Gazette would like a line or two from this part of the moral, vinoyurib A great many improvements have been mads in Sparks since my last communication, so many that 1 can' not moulion all of them, but of the more recent is the establishment of ginnery by Martin S. MoCranic, who is well equipped and prepared to gin » both long and short staple notion on short uotico. Another is the purchase and com pletion of the Gan McKinney resi dence, near the Afethodisl church by r. C. W. 0. Sutton, Again, Rev. B. W. Huckabee has; qiureliasod the store room formerly owned by Dr. I. .1. Goodman, on the corner of Goodman and Colquitt streets, ffnd added considerable to its ppearanco by increasing the length rid painting the interior. The targe two-story building on the comer of Goodman and Colquitt Streets, being erected hy Air. 8. Whitehurst, will add no little to the appearance of the town. The lower floor will contain two largo and l^jbandsome stow rqofljg. The build ing will bo renewed with brick. Another improvement, to which s, is ilie bow: what now, in part, but Is appreciated by patrons and pupils. He is a young man of high moral character and thoroughly capable of. teaching the young idea how to shoot. Among tho contemplated improve ments of the town I mention, first, that long looked for hotel, to he erected on tho hotel site which fronts Patterson avenue near the de pot. This, indoed, is an old song, but it conics this time witli a new chorus, Dr. I. ,T. Goodman and Messrs. C. II. Beckwith, W. .1. Rog ers and J. Z. Elliott have formed themselves into a stock company to build it. They are nil gentlemen of energy who have long since become imbued with tho 'sentiment' of'tlial most appropriate stanza, which says; “It Is neither rank, birth nor estate, But the glt-np-and-glt that makes men great.” There is no dependence on a build ing and loan association witli this company, the money is in hand and work will commence at once. And again, Mr. John A. Kountrco authorizes mo to say that ho will es tablish rice hulling machinery hero of the latest and most improved patent. This is a certainty, ns will bo attested by all who are acquainted witli Mr. Rountree; ho never does things hy halves, and his pocket- book is a sufficient vouchor for the assertion. Rice growers nlon^ the Georgia Southern mid Florida will soon hear from Air. Rountree. lie will solicit shipments of rough rico, and will clean it at reduced rates. Other improvements could be men turned. but I-wiU-not-newq-suffice -to say: tlint just so sure as taH oaks grow- from little acorns so sure will Sparks grow into a flourishing town. It lias never tiikoii a backward step since its founding.’ Notwithstanding tbo odds she has Imd to battle against saying nothing of tho hardness of the times, her schools, her churches and. her mercantile business aro all in a prosperous condition. Polities seems to have died out to somo extent until the people’s party senatorial convention met at Valdos ta last Saturday and shoved up the chunks and made the obi pot boil up ittle.

Hurrah for Norman 1 A third party man of this county went to a democrat to borrow some money. Tbe democrat repliod that he did not have the money to spare. The third partyile the democrat that if ho would turn and help his party into power they would bring in plen ty. of money. The democrat (Hen told tbe third parlyito to go back borne and count up tho days lie had lost advocating the third party and calculate if it was not trim if tie had worked these days ho would not have need-to Iwrrow any money; also that there was plenty of money to loan in tho bank at Camilla. Tho third par'tyitc wen> to Camilla to see if wimt bad been told him n aa true. He found plonty of money for (bat purpose, so he told tho banker lie wanted to borrow $12fi. The hanker told him lie could get it, but when he fixed up the note tins bmikor asked the third partyile who .was hi* «d- intcral? Tho third’ partyito then dropped his head, studied a litiic, arid, said ho bditvod he would not take any money just now. So he comes back home and tell* alt hw people that there was ptcnly of mon ey in the Camilla bank and ait they needed was a collateral dub, begging iris friend* to turn over from the third party to a collateral club of which ho wanted to be president.
