THE CAZETTE: TIFTON, (iA., FETDAT, JANUARY 5, 1894.
NEWS AND VIEWS.
Atlanta people are hustling for a
big exposition for 1894.
Gresham and MaoVeagh are tho
boss bounty-jumpers of tho age.
It is now stated with a degree of
seriousness that “The pen is mightier
than two swords.”

ernor of Georgia.
1803-1801.
The ole't year, 1893, is dead. An
other twelve months with its issues
and results, good and bad, have been
added to the history of tho past, and
it can be safely said that . there
were few mourners at the funeral.
Taking a retrospective view of the
old year one can scarcely suppress
the shudder that instinctively comes
upon them. It was, indeed, a year
of disaster—every department of in
dustry was crippled and many enter
prises crushed beyond hope of resur
rection, growing out of-the most ex
tended and far-reaching financial de
pression perhaps ever experienced on
tho Atnericaji continent. The peo
ple has not only suffered .from disar
ranged finances, but from fire, flood,
storms, and disease—such as haB
never been witnessed within any pre
vious twelve- months. Every ele
ment in nature seemed to be at war
with tho industrial progress of our
country, and wo can account for the
survival af any intorest from tho com-
>n vortex of destruction alone upon
pie, an the editor nnderstands them,
ill he maintained' and defended
without fear or favor.
About a year ago I took a violent at
tack of la grippe. I coughed day and
night for about six weeks; my wife then
suggested that I try Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. At first I could see no differ
ence, but still kept taking it, and soon
found that it was what I needed. If I
got no relief from one dose I took anoth
er, and it was only a few days until 1 was
free from the cough. I think people In
geberal ought to know the value of this
remedy, and I tako pleasure in acknow
ledging the benefit 1 have received from
" Madison Mustard, Otway, Ohio. 35

The fresh candidate for the United
^ .States senate who thinks he is going
, to have a “walk over” your “Uncle
Alfred” Colquitt is going to be woe
fully disappointed.
jf The Commissioner (^Internal Rev
enue has decided that clearing house
certificates generally are not subject
_..to the 10 per cent, tax imposed on

Both Corbett and Mitchell have
reached their training quarters in
Florida, and it now seems that the
sports of Jacksonville are to have
their own way relative to tho fistic
contest.
- Hon. W. Y. Atkinson lias formally
announced his candidacy for governor
of Gpureia, and now some of our
.nges are talking of a dark
b'niise candidate. At
kinson’s letter to the people has the
proper ring to it.
Among tho hits of sad nows of
Christmas week was tho announce
ment of tho death of Hon. John C,
Nicholls, of pneumonia, at'his home
in Blackslienr, Ga. He was an emi
nent lawyer; atad represented his dis
trict in congress one term with honor
and distinction. -
Tho Atlanta Journal says that
Hon. Wayne MaoVeagh, Cleveland’s
ambassador to Italy, is a domoorat.
The truth of tho statement depends
materially upon what it takes to con
stitute a democrat. There seems to
^ ho a wide difference of opinion oil
the sulijout nowadays.
Gov. Northen, under an aot of the
Jate legislature, has appointed Hors.

Hon. Ilonry. P. Smart, of Savan
hah, who thinks he is in position to
kuow, perforce of his being chairman
. of the committee of bondholders, says
there is no foundation for the report
“that the Georgia Southern and Flor
ida railroad has been or will be trans
ferred to tho Seaboard System.”
The last has truly been a hard
year on weekly nowspapers; but the
most of them pulled through by the
dint of fho most severo self-abnega
tion in the way of.food and clothes
supply. Delinquents 'should now
pay up and encourage them to got
out rattling good papers all thi* year.

liat our country is wonder-
,grandly enterprising and thoughtful
over ready to make the best of op
portunities.
It is stated that the South has
withstood the shock hotter than any
section of the Union, and Georgia
better than qny portion of the South;
and as southwest Geoigia is the most
independent and prosperous section
of the state, it is a reasonable deduc
tion .that Berrien and her sister coun
ties have come out of the general
panic and distress with flying colors,
if not in as good shape as they would
wish. It can be said, truly, that
whiio our immediate people could not
command as much money as they
wished to transact their various busi
nesses, ns they had been accustomed,
still they have not been disturbed in
mind relative to what they should
eat or what they should wear. They
had plenty of home-raised provisions;
their fields promised a fruitful harv
est for tho New Year, and they have
not been disappointed.
Individually speaking, causes for
heart-burnings have come to many of
our people, no doubt to some of the
readers of the Gazette, but all these
things are in tho past; “let the dead
pass bury its dead” and look to tho
ever present and tho eternal future;
(ct ns bttry our heart-burnings and
disappointments in the same grave
with the wreck of the old year, and
spring forward to grander and more
glorious achievements in tho future,
All around us are the elements of
mipnrallelled success and grandeur in
various departments of industry; let
us arise, possess'and enjoy them.
Prospecting into the futuro we can
scarcely expect the .old year to bo re
pcated in tho new. It is true that
history seldom re|>cat8 itself, and we
may feel assured that the new year
will bring troubles and difficulties
sufficient for ns to brood oyer.C'iostf
oiMf thoe- dIcposcd)• without cling
ing to and brooding over those of
the old.
Header, set your faco squarely to
the front—look not backward to the
past, neither turn to the right nor to
the left hand—and press forward, re
membering that success comes only
by individual effort. Learn that
oach individual must work out his
own futuro success, mid you will
have gained at least one point of ad
vantage in the race of life.
Convict Lease System.
The appearance in Americus, in
the rolo of book agent, “of Beresford,
the convicted swihdler and forger,
who was sentenced a short time ago
to six years imprisonment nt hard la
bor in the penitentiary,” affordq the
Penny Press of that city an oppor
tunity for some very crisp and perti
pent comments on Georgia’s Convict
lease system. -
Beresford was convicted of forgeiy
in Floyd superior court and sentenced
to hard labor in the penitentiary. He
was leased by the Gress Lumber
Company, at Kramer, on the Savan
nah, Americus mid Montgomery rail
road. This notable convict lias been
at the camp less than twelve months,
during which time he has had leisure
from “hard labor” sufficient to write
n good size volume, entitled “From

As to the Gazette. During the
past year, iff keeping with all the
other papers of tho state, daily and
weekly, it has compassed a very rug
ged road during the past year. Fail
ure of its patrons to pay their
bills promptly—owing to the finan
cial depression—has prevented
making the improvements content
plated at the beginning of the
year. The paper has barely paid ex
penses.
The editor has no special promises
to make for the future, save that his
beet energies will be devoted to mak
ing as acceptable paper as hie pat*
ronage will permit He may have
erred in the past; if so, they were
“errors of the head and not of the
heart”—they were honest errors

lowed freedom to canvass the
for the sale of his book.
The Penny Press says:
“The first question that naturally aria
os !b this: Can the lessees of a convict
turn.him loose at their own will and
pleasure? It seems from the concurrent
testlmony.of all who have seen the mines
and campB of convicts that this is exactly
what the lessees do. In other words these
mon airogate to themselves a power
which tho law confers alone upon tjio
governor of tho Stale os his very highest
prerogative. ’ "
"What a Held this opens up to tho
wealthy criminal who desires to practice
his vocation in peace. Let him boldly
capture his swag; let him then save the
fees of lawyers and plead guilty; mean
time let him have a partner In readiness
whoso business It shall ho to lease him
«8 soon 0s sentence it pronounced
He can then he taken to the retirement
qf Ills own homo and there wear tine lin
en and fare sumptuously every day.
“Wo maintain that this scheme is per
fectly practicable. Is mot tho sol-disant
lord in fashionable attire? Is benot pur
suing tho pleasant avocation of hook-
selling? Does ho not set down to table
at tho best hotel? Vet is he serving a six
years’ sentence at hard labor for tho com ;
mission of a grave crime.
“The scheme we have outlined is not
only possible of execution—It Is here be-
Ing'executed under the noses of all mon,
“Now then, if tho lessees of convicts
can thus exercise the highest prerogative
ofr the executive, and if they are also
clothed with the power of limitless and
savago punishment, wlrnt despot, small
or great, has such absolute functions
' iv exercise?
‘High above all law, they say to this
criminal; Tako thine ease;. and of- that
other: To the whipping pustl Away

“He should be compelled to undergo
his sentence, to wear the stripes, to labor
with his fellow wrong-doers.

are glad this thing has occurred
It may help"to excite In the publlo mind
a bla^e of lr ‘
ndignallon, In theflerco flame
of which this accursed and shameful lease
system, haply, may be consumed, root
and branch.
“As it now stands it is a shame and
disgrace to this atalc of Georgia, which
docs much to hinder her present progress
and much to obscure her ancient glory
and just renowu."
This is not the only case of this
character, reported from tho Gress
Lumber Company’s camps, that has
come under the Gazette’s observa-
To say the very least tho
tion. To say the very
lessee’s conduct in allowing convicts
to go about the country at will,
