Dentil of Jtev. 13. Ogden.
The angel reaper, Death, visited
our little city hist, Monday ami
clasped Hev. Elijah Ogden, one of
Tifton’s best and most highly re
spected citizens, in cold embrace and
curried his spirit to “that bourne
from whence tin traveler returns.”
Air. Ogden was stricken with typho-
malarial fever three or four weeks
ago. At one time he wus thought to
he convalescent and his friends were
confident of his early restoration to
health, but a releapse occurred and
his disease assumed »complex nature;
ha was also taken with congestion of
the bowels, which soon overcame his
vitality and he sank rapidly under its
weakening influence. A t 0:35 o’clock
Monday evening he died.
The funeral service was held at
the Afethodist church, of which de
nomination lie laid been a faithful
and true member from early boyhood.
The pastor, Rev. W. F. Hixon, offici
ated. There was a large concourse
of people present, and as the preacher
spoke of the exemplary and Christian
life and character of the deceased, a
pin-fall, it seems to us, would have
broken and marred the solemnity of
"the occasion.
We know nothing of Mr. Ogden’s
past history, previous to 1891, but
liaie seen much of him since tlml
date and" can conscientiously bear
testimony that lie walked uprightly
before God and man, and that lie has
left a rich legacy in christimi exam
ple, and in the demonstration of his
unyielding faith in God and His
Christ.
He leaves an invalid wife and four
children—one girl and three boys—
besides a host of relatives and friends
to mourn his death. All these attest
the fact that he was a devoted hus
band, a loving parent, a consid'-ratR
neighbor and a good citizen. In his
cal acity us a local preuclier lie has,
without money and without price,
proclaimed the glad ridings of salva
tion through Christ to the people of
this section of country whenever and.
wherever opportunity offered.
His remains were laid to rest in
Oak Ridge cemetery, and his Inirial
was attended by a large concourse of
sorrowing people.

consider well what lie is doing; re

democratic rule,think of our prosper

party has not been in control of the
Federal government and therefore is
not responsible for any of the odious
class legislation that has been heaped
upon us.

aided us in our late affliction in the
Turner At Irwinville'.
Hon. Henry G. Turner filled nit
appointment to speak at Irwinville
last Saturday.
He wus accompanied by several
gentlemen from Tifton, and from
them we learn the meeting was a very
successful one. His audience though
small, was composed of representative
men from every portion of the good
old county of Irwin.
Mr. Turner felt very much refresh
ed from his day’s rest and quiet at
Tifton, nnd was enabled thereby to
enter heartily into the discussion of
the issues involved in the campaign.
As the question of silver coinage
seems to be the absorbing one among
the people, und the one upon which
populism hopes to win the present
election, Mr. Turner dwelt npon it at
length. He argued for sound money
regardless of ratio or material used
in its manufacture. He favored bi-
nietulism iu its truest and broadest,
sense; he wunted 'noth gold und silver
ccincd to the full capacity of the
mints just os long os it, cun be done
with saluty to our financial syBtem
and a parity between the two metals
maintained. He docs, not caie how
this is accomplished, whether hy in
creasing tho ratio, hy international
agreementor safeguards of legislation.
But he insisted that soundness of the
currency is the first principle to be
considered in tho question of finance.
We are informed that quite a num
ber of his hearers who hud gone to
IliH meeting prejudiced against hia
financial views went home satisfied
that the churge made against Mr.
Turner that he is an enemy of silver
is more fanciful than reul.
Mr. Turner’s speech was well re
ceived and will accomplish much
good to the cause of democracy in the
present campaign.

The Dougins Breeze gives the fol
lowing extract us the sentiment of a
white man in a speech at a populist
meeting m Coffee county.
He was proceeded by Tom Watson’s
negro oinissitry who declared “that
the rising generation of whites and
blacks will come up equal in all re
spects,” und the white populists pres
ent approved und tipplaitdcd his in
sulting utterances.
“The negro was followed hy a white
man, Charlie Purvis, who opened til*
speech hy announcing that thu only dif-
fcrunc* lietweun him and the negroes was
•ho was a white nigger while they were
black nigger*.'
“He complained that the negroes were
not allowed to sit on the jury. Ho said
that the only favor bo had received shove
the blacks was he lmd been allowed to eat
at the table* of the white people. He ap
pealed to the passions of the negroes hy
telling them that tho democratic party
was responsible for all the lynrhings that
have occurred in tho South: that it made
his heart Ideed to think of the wrong*
that had bocn inti Ivied on the poor nigger
hy that party. He told them that the
nigger had about a* much prlvlledge as a
dog.
"He said, when we see we white nig
gers, a* I call them, joined hands with
the black niggers we will get our rights.
He said the democrats to-day are trying
lo make our children their children's-
slaves."
Comment is unnecessary. Our very
nature revolts nguinst such senti
ments. We cannot contemplate ne-
grophoU.xm in this fair Southland of
ours without shuddering. The man
who would get np iu a mixed audi
ence und utter such sentiments as the
above has lost all racial pride and all
self-respect- But this is what pop
ulism means when reduced to its last
analysts. Our correspondent, “Billie
Green,” a few weeks ago pointed it
out with an uuerring pen.
