Bohemian's Budget.
Cecil, April 8.—The last moon of
■winter is near its change, and it is
hoped that a change in the weathor
for the better will now bo on.
South Carolina is in the full enjoy
ment of Democratic Nullification.
Wo can never too highly appreciate
being natives of conservative Georgia.
We will ho apt to bite freely to
Kenon bait down among the gallber-
riea, and, under the veto lights before
ns, had as well know how our candi
dates tor United States senator stand
on the silror question before we send
men to the legislature who will vote
blindly on that vital question. The
currency of our fathers was gold and
silver, without the least discrimina
tion, or truckling to the English
bankers. Ity skillful legerdemain
one half of our currency has been
discriminated against—silver. With
it, onr farmer-fathers acquired inde-
pcndancu. With monometalisin our
sons will be slaves. We are emi
nently equipped to be the most lordly
independent nation on earth, save onr
I'itrroneyi and with the retirement of
his patients, it again whittling on our
door steps, seemingly witli a new
lease of life.
I regret to say Mrs. Dr. Gregory
has been quite ill, but glad to note
site is improving.
Mr. John A. Hodges, of Hahira,
had a severe loss daybefore yesterday,
(Monday) m the burning of his barns,
cribs, stables and other buildings in
Ins lot, together with their contents,
except live stock; loss about $700,00.
Tile (ire was set to some oat straw
by his little son playing with match
es. Mr. Hodges is one of Lowndes’
most energetic farmers, and I deoply
regret his loss. Bohemian.
tiie National bnnks and the internal
taxes generally, and a foreign tariff
for revenue, we would he the happi
est of all people. A hoiiao divided
ayaind iktlf cannot dandy was the
verdict of our Savior.
As it was in 1800, so In 1804. The
financial policy of onr administration
Is but another stop in tbo policy of
Great Brittain adopted in 1810, and
after they had failed to whip ns on
land and sea. Then and there the
lion changed to a serpent, and our
people; part of them, have oaten the
golden fruit and uru charmed. Free
trade ami pauper labor has boon the
aim of the Aristocrats; (lint, policy de
manded the abolition of African sla
very and control of the currency.
Make this men, uioukii—the pooh,
I'OOItKH.
Monarchies have always been built
that way. Tlio motto of the Fann
ers’ Alliance, “Equal rights to all,
special priviliges to none,’’ was
enough to raise the serpent in the
Apes of British monarchists. Al
though it is the heart’s core of de
mocracy, it was ami is fought with
all the mental power the gidd aristo
crats can mttator—it is democracy.
It IS really disgusting to see smull-
fry newspapers, run by vena! editors,
attempting to mislead the very peo
ple on whom they depend for a sup
port, on the all absorbing question of
iiunneo. When corn is plenty you
can buy two bushels for one dollar;
when it is scarce the rovers# is the
case. Just so with money. When
it is plenty, trade is brisk, the vari
ous industries whereby men earn
bred arc moving briskly, ami tlio peo
ple are happy. The reverse takes
plaeo when money is scarce. Wages
arc lower and employment harder to
get. T he poor are pinchod for food
and clothing, and are discontented.
Labor strikes, and increase of theft
multiply; law suite and all the evils
which make Hard Times.
Alt this clatter about sound cur
rency is the merest bosh I Tlio gov
ernment makes money, and any cur
rency that will pay debts and buy
bread is good chough currency. Let
us then, by tlumocrtUio methods re
store silver to its sent bosidu gold on
the throne of our currency. To this
end I shall require of every man who
wants my vote for representative or
senator to know, not who ho will
Vote for, but how the man lie votes
for proposes himself to vote in con
gress. If the people arc wise tlioy
will win.

DitooKFjKi.it, April 4.—We had a
few days of blustery, winter, weather
last week, but everything seems to be
cairn and serene at present, and farm

work as fast ns practicable, Homo of
them arc having to plant their cotton
over on account of the recent freeze.

this looks as if politics is going to
liven up in a short while.
Adel Newa.
From our Special Correiponilent.
A»w.,April 4.—When Gov, North-
en appointed Speaker Crisp to the
senate he used good judgment. The
next best tiling would have been the
appointment of Henry G, Turner.
Personally I admire Mr. Walsh and
think him as competent as any of the
inexperienced men of our state. He
will soon catch on and make us a
good senator. When the writer was
a penniless orphan Mr. Crisp appoint-
ed me to the beneficiary scholarship
in the Atlanta Medical College which,
saved me 176 per year. This favor
was rendered without a request on
my part. Since then I have rejoiced
at his rapid promotion.
It seems to mu that Gen. Evans
should be elected governor of Geor
gia. He is thoroughly competent.
Knowing him as I do, let mo say
there is not a man in the state who
would make a better one. lie agreed
to be a candidate to please his admir
ers and those who thought he would
he the proper man for the place.
Whether ho is defeated or elected he
will never ask for anothor office. His
defeat would be a slap in the face for
the “survivors of the lost cause.”
Strange to say some of our people
join the northern element and pro
claim “away with this old war cry I”
Mr. Atkinson, himself, wants to know
what Gen. Evans has done? When
the war began Evans was in the state
senate as a lawyer, had a bright fu
ture before him. Ilo chose the field
nnd from a private he become a gen
eral, IBs comrades say no officer
was braver and did harder fighting—
having been wounded five times.
Gordon and Colquitt have been
honored for their services and why
should Evans bo relegated to the rear
as an unworthy servant? Ah! his
sin is that ho lias been a preacher in
stead of a politician. Had ho con
tinued in the law and made a few
speeches for democracy, ho would
have been elected to offioe long ago.
Because this man has preached the
go-pel of Jesus Christ for 8(1 years is
no reason that lie is disqualified to
sorve his people us an honorable
officer.
His opponent wants to know why
ho has not stumped the state in the
past? Now wo all know that it is
not expected for a regular pan tor to
go on the stump for any party; it is
contrary to the policy of tlio church,
nnd as long as Gen. Evans served his
church in this capacity ho refused to
he entangled in tlio meshes of politics.
But ills relations to the church is now
different, and while ho is not a poli
tician yet, lie is perfectly at liberty
to be a candidate for Governor.
Mr. Atkinson has been rewarded
for his sorvicus. He is young and
has a long futuro before him. Had
it not been for his conceit and inor
dinate ambition ho, like Stovo Olay,
would have remained out of tho race
and not have precipitated such an
unpleasant nnd unprofitable contest
upon tho democratic party.
Tho cold spell has not done as
much damage ns was thought done.
Our people arc all busy at work.
Religion and hoV to make an holiest
living is talked more than politics.
However, the candidacy for tho sen
ate of Hon. W. L. Kinnon has jfro-
duoed somo enthusiasm and Adel will
roll up a big majority for him it dif
fers not who his opponents may be.
W. E. Hall is opening up a stoek
of general merchandise in the Wilby
brick store. Mr. Hall ts ono of tho

liey are among the most favored
communities of Worth, Irwin and
Berrien. Yet, they are not Vander
bilts, to buy several hundred dollars
worth of hooks each year. My broth
er seems to class himself with the
plug hats. We have no objection.
We have no charity funds ill the
treasure of cither of these noble
counties, for the purchase of books
for tlio poor. I’m no politician, but
certainly there is an ohjeet lesson be-
fore the people. Why?’ Because our
officers has not done what they ad
vocated in their platform, or what
they might do. The people mutter,
they have a right to do so. They
havo given us broth when we hunger
ed, and asked for bread. Our gov
ernment is corrupt; many of our of
ficers arc wicked, therefore the peo
ple mourn. Uniformity will give us
“easier work,more money, more prog,
roes, and make children mure studi
ous, strike new flints in onr minds.”
For in unity there is strength.
Washington said “wo are one to-day
and thirteen to-morrow.” He want
ed unity and help, which is my motto.
We can truly say we are one hun
dred and thirty three to day. How
much belteT if wo could be one to
morrow I Show me a state of nnity
and I will show you a state of pros
perity.
Tho brother gets on my plank
when he says I he “law of the country
rightly administered' will give us ed-
mmtionuly government.” This has
been my theme of argument, and
theie is not room for us both on the
same plank. Thu law is not proper
ly administered on this point, is my
opinion. For every time tho Com
missioners “fiddles" tho people havo
to dance With now hooks. If tins is
not anarchy (monarchy). Oh, what
is it? Tho intention ol my first let
ter was not argument. I believe that
my course will meet the approbation
a people of
ot four fifths of tho good people
our county. I take sides with ho
man, unless he oo-oboratos with my
views. The saying of old is,—if yon
“convince a man against his will he's
tlio same still.” For fear my letter
grows monotanons I will dose.
Steadfastly,
It. A. Hendricks.
