XI NT THE TEACUEKK MIXED?
Below we submit some clippings
from Populist literature, which we
are unable to reconcile, but we hope
our neighbors may understand:
“No true Populist will ever be ig
norant enough to again favor fusion.”
—Ex.
“In 1896 it was necessary to make
fools of the Populists, while now it
is not. Once having learned
the trick, we Pops can make fools of
ourselves now. We had to be fooled
into fusion and Democracy in 1896.
We tumble in of our own accord
now.”—T. E. W.
“We must remember that Popu
lists cannot afford to fuse with any
party, but we have no objection to
any party fusing with us. If we are
sincere, we do not desire to fuse with
any party, but we can have no objec
tion to others fusing with us.”—
J. L. M.
The above paragraphs were penned
by those high in the councils of
Populism—those who beg you to cir
culate the grand thoughts that origi
nate in their clear and honest minds.
The writer of the first paragraph
meant what he said, no daubt, but
he bad not considered the wisdom in
8 and 4 at that time. He undoubtedly
glories in that ignorance which
fused 8 and 4.
As to the second paragraph, we
allow that to pass as an honest con
fession, a part of history or political
chow chow, exhibiting the freedom
a leader takes with the boys.
That third paragraph demands the
attention of an able Populist editor.
No other person can sip the wisdom
from those burning lines. Demo
cratic editors can make no such fine
distinctions. Failing to grasp these
infinitessimal differences, the Demo
crat arouses the commiseration of
“all true Populists” who can make
that and under consumption perfectly
clear. Should a Democratic Tom
sleep with a Populist John, he is just
ignorant enough to say John slept
with him. If a Democrat works a
horse with a mule, he may in ignor
ance state that he worked a mule
with a horse.
We should not lose hope for these
scions promise that this educational
wave shall continue till the last ditch
is won and the scales are removed
from our eyes, as from theirs. True,
they doctor their eyes right often,
and brag of the ignorance that beset
them in ’92, ’94 and ’96, yet in the
year of our Lord ’9B they stand forth
bright and shining lights, the salt of
the earth, battling for our upbuild
ing. We should not be despondent.
The main lessons taught are ordi
narily easy, excepting those men
tioned above.
Talk relief, distribute literature,
work for the cause and Populist
principles will be the duty put upon
us when the light comes; your own
common sense will tell you (they say)
what they want and how you are to
get it. We should be exceedingly
hopeful if at last they intend to allow
us to use common sense.
Yes, they are a little mixed.
UNDER CONNUMJPTION.
One of our Populist editors dur
ing the chilly days of last December
sat philosophizing on the above sub
ject, and wrote among other sen
tences the following: “It has often
been amusing to us to hear men of
intelligence and men who could have
known better had they truthfully in
vestigated and laid aside bias and
prejudice, dilate on the over produc
tion hobby, which is the very quin
tessence of ignorance and heathen
ism.” Again he asserts: “Undercon
sumption is sapping the very life
blood of our people.” Our first
impulse after reading this was to
hurry over and enjoy the fun. We
would yet enjoy seeing an intelli
gent heathen suffer from the quin
tessence of ignorance if the sight is
very amusing, which it must be. He
did not state what was meant by un
der consumption. Since over pro
duction means making more than is
needed for consumption, under con
sumption would mean consuming
less than is made.
How this is to sap the life blood
of a nation we are unable to see. If
the surplus should become so dan
gerous, we could equalize matters
by having fire to consume it. W T e
know people who through a long
life have consumed more than they
produced, and they appear to be of
less benefit to society than the man
who practices under consumption.
W T e dislike to put ourselves with
that class which amuses the able ed
itor, but we must confess that we
know not any philosophy that would
convince us that prosperity comes
through consuming more than one
can make. There are living exam-
ples of the reverse, as he may find
by investigating. Individuals make
communities, communities make
states, and states make nations.
What is true of individuals is true
of nations. The man who goes crazy
over every fool’s theory, and expects
legislation to reverse the order of
things, will die a calamity howder
and in poverty. This logic of under
consumption will encourage every
mother’s son to live in idleness, pro
ducing nothing, and consuming
everything in sight. Why not call
a halt in the world’s progress till
everything is consumed, then live on
the spontaneous fruits of the earth
till this blood sapping stops. AH
this false philosophy which fills our
people with discontent for the sake
of papers and politicians ought to
stop. Such editors beg you to lay
aside prejudice, when in truth they
are writing for no purpose except to
keep up your prejudice.
The man who reads history knows
that all this agitation benefits the
man in the shade and injures the
working man by filling him with dis
content.
Politicians can help you but little,
you can help them much. Hence
the agitation.
fiOING HACK.
One who reads the literature sent
out by our political opponents will
see much concerning going back to
the Democrats. We can but won
der what put such ideas in the heads
of these able writers.
They call Hogan the next gov
ernor of Georgia, and stand ready to
issue commissions to all their lesser
lights, and yet they keep talking
about their brethren going back.
Why should a man who has been
basking in the sunshine of equal
rights and drinking from the foun
tain of 8 and 4 uninstructed think
of returning to a party that nomi
nates by primary election?
Who would think of leaving a
party that has as many heads and
factions as it has principles to return
to the party of the people, the party
that carried our ancestors through
dark days and bright days alike?
Strange to say these writers in the
very next breath will say they have
never left the Democratic fold, that
they have taken the old ship in hand
and given her anew cristening.
If this last be true, they have on
board those who never took passage
there before, and will not sign the
roster now. No, my Populist friend,
these men who are said to be going
back are simply refusing to follow
your lead further. You have told
them that the middle men caused
depression, that demonitization
caused it, that the banking system
caused it, that under consumption
caused it, that railroads caused it,
and your wise remedies have been as
varied as your causes.
Now, you don’t know what caused
it, but offer 8 and 4 uninstructed as
a remedy. Let us suggest that you
heap no abuse upon them for this re
turn. They gave you a fair trial,
and are disappointed in your firm
ness and wisdom.
Republican Meeting.
As American freemen, I am proud
to congratulate you on the manly
principle you sustained by not cast
ing your ballot in the recent Demo
cratic primary. As Republican citi
zens, we can’t, in my judgement, af
ford to nominate either Populists or
Democrats. After both parties hav
ing got into line, and having arrayed
themselves before us for our suffrage,
and if we have nothing at stake, if
we would follow the dictates of com
mon sense, we would, of course, sup
port the best element.
The executive committee of the
Republican party will meet at the
court house in Jefferson Saturday,
Sept. 3d, ’9B.

A Strong Ticket.
Hoschton, Ga. Aug. 29, ’9B.
Editob Herald:—
The strong Democratic ticket put
in the field for representatives and
county officers at the late primary
has caused much alarm in Populistic
circles. That the ticket, taken in its
entirety, is a strong one and com
posed of the very best men in the
county, none will deny save those
who are infatuated with the blindest
prejudice.
Two abler men than Holder and
Hosch could not have been selected
for legislative honors. John N. Hol
der is the gifted and polished editor
of The Jackson Herald, and a grad
uate of the State University. He is
in the very prime of mental vigor,
thoroughly posted on all public ques
tions that affect the welfare of the
people, and well equipped for legisla
tive work, while as a private citizen
he is proverbially possessed of those
winning and attractive features of
character which are calculated to se
cure for him the strongest personal
esteem.
John R. Hosch is a man of stern
integrity of character and sincerity
of purpose and full of thrift and en
terprise. No man labored more
earnestly and assiduously or sub
scribed more liberally for the build
ing of the G. J. A S. R.R. than John
R. Hosch. It was mainly due to the
indomitable will and energy of the
Hosch Bros, that the town of Hosch
ton was located where it is. Mr.
Hosch has fine business judgment,
and is not reticent when called upon
for an expression of his views on pub
lic matters. He is generous to a
fault, and responds readily and lib
erally to the calls of charity and to
the support of religious and educa
tional institutions. He is a large
planter, and perhaps the most suc
cessful farmer in Jackson county.
He received every vote polled at his
home precinct at the late primary,
which attests his popularity where
he is best known. Holder and Hosch
make a combination that is almost
invincible.
A. C. Appleby, candidate for clerk
and treasurer, is one of the finest
business men in the state. For
neatness, accuracy and dispatch in
office work, few men can equal Mr
Appleby.
Wm. T. Stevens and Hugh M.
Appleby for sheriff and deputy, hon
orable, upright and faithful to duty.
More suitable men cannot be found
in the county.
A. H. Brock, candidate for tax col
lector, is a methodical and syste
matic business man, and will make a
good officer.
G. M. D. Moon, candidate for tax
receiver, is quiet and conservative,
and has the well-earned confidence
and esteem of everybody who knows
him. He is'possessed of fine busi
ness qualifications, and will keep a
neat and correct book.
C. O. Pittman is well fitted by ed
ucation and experience for county
surveyor, and his private character
is above reproach.
L. J. Johnson, candidate for coro
ner, merits that which he asks, for
his valor on many battle fields in de
fense of our beautiful sunny south
land. His prominent characteristics
are honesty, integrity and hospitality.
The battle is on, and will wax
warm between now and October,
and we are trusting in the sanctity
of great principles to lead in solid
phalanx to Democratic victory.

MOSE AND WASH
TALK POLITICS.
Wash—Uncle Mose, whar you been
enduring all the ’citement us boon
havin’? I ain’t seed you since fore
de July rally.
Mose—No, I’s been going to my
meetin’s. I did come to dat rally,
but I never seed you, and I never
heard dat splainin’ you said was go
in’ to be done. Not a word was said
’bout dat votin’ and not votin' in the
legislature to tax our church.
Wash—See here, Uncle Mose, dem
men dun serve dey time out and we
got anew set. New promises is bein’
made. Life too short to stop and
splain 'bout men what can’t hold no
more office. Dey done repented
’bout what dey done wrong. Yes,
sir, when a man pents can’t blame
him any more. You come right into
dis yard and set on dis rustic bench
whar me and Ware ken tell you
’bout what being done.
Mose—No, I’ll set on this box. I
am gwine to vote for the men I
knows, any how. You and Ware can
set here and whittle rustic benches;
it don’t suit Mose.
Wash—But I want to tell you we
are trying to improve the chaingang.
We want to fix comfort for them poor
fellers that has to work so hard. Our
heart bleeds for the poor convict
whose rights this great state is
trampling upon. Less work ’em od
the road.
Mose —Mighty easy to git sorry
for convix and tell what ought to be
done when somebody else got to fix
’em. We done tried to treat some of
’em well at our church ’fore dey went
to the chaingang and after they come
back. Bad as it is now, they go
back thar ergin. Course if you treat
them better than they can treat
themselves at home, the state will
have more than it can feed. You and
Ware better be workin’ to keep away
from dar ’stead of trying to
make it a ’spectable place to go to.
W T ash—Well, Uncle Mose, I know
you will help us to kill barrooms.
Our flatform is the best on that. Us
Wants the public to control whiskey;
we don’t say how, and we don’t care
much, if we can git our men ino&ce.
You like a dram yourself, and you
don’t like to send off to a barroom
after it.
Mose —Look here, Wash, I done
talk plain to you once ’bout de way
your crowd do 'bout licker. Unes
never did mean what you say ’bout
dat. I knows men in my church
what worked for your crowd ’cause
dey say dey use no licker in ’lections.
When the time come you told me
yosef dey eat hash, drunk licker and
danced ’till broad daylight, den
hauled dem dat couldn’t walk to de
polls.
Wash—Course we did dance, eat
hash and drink a heap of licker, but
dats not our principles. We was
fightin’ de devil wid fire den. We
just had to do it to git office. White
men look mighty shamed ’bout it,
and we’ll do dat agin, but it’s agin
our flatform. You read our flatform,
it’s a mighty comfortable flatform.
Mose—No, I keers nothin’ ’bout
paper readin’. My preacher say best
thing to do is to vote fer men dat
has made good citizens, an dey will
make good officers.
Wash —Now, now you’re right
whar I wants you; I done tole you
Democrats done bought preachers
and teachers. You don’t see any
dem educated niggers in our con
ventions. No, sir, our folks won’t
trust dem. Dey wants men lack me
and Ware what talk pro’bition and
tote licker to ’em ef dey wants it.
Yes, sir, Mose, I wish you could des
heard my speech in de gin house on
dis line. White folks held der breaf>
and you orter see ’em a votin’ fer ole
Wash ter be a delegate Dey didn’t
give no ’structions ’tall. Dey say
what Wash do suits dem better dan
dey could suit demselves.
Mose—Dat’s all mighty nice, but
how many white men did dey send
to watch ole Wash. Dey sent one
ter kill Wash’s vote,and anudder one
ter nominate candidates. Dat’s what
er educated nigger tole me.
Wash—l sees dat, but you feel so
nice spreadin’ yo’sef mongst white
and colored. You can’t blame me
and Ware. You knows dese edu
cated niggers won’t hear us speak
lack conventions do. Us don’t ’long
to no church, and niggers try to
keep us down, but us is on de wing
ob de American eagle, and all men
honor to de Poplist polititions who
walk on de grass and whittle rusty
benches wid barlow blades. See
you ag’in, Mose, ole “Chap’s” callin’
me. Listener.
Little Billie—Par-pa, did you tell
mama that you and Kansas had the
same interest?
Papa—Yes, I did in ’92.
Little Billie—Mamma says you
ought to go get your part of that
money they have put in banks, boxes
and old socks out there.
Papa—Your Uncle Joe put that
into your mama’s head, son. He
never did understand political
economy.

seldom excelled.
Mrs. J. W. Pierce,w ho was thrown

and seriously, and feared fatally
wounded, is hoped to be slowly im
proving.
Mr. Green Pirkle left last Tues
day to attend school at Young Har
ris.
Protracted meeting commenced at
this place Sunday night, and a good
meeting is expected, with our able
pastor, assisted by W. F. A. Ander
son and H. J. Lott.
J. N. Holder of Jefferson was with
his many warm friends on our streets
Tuesday. He can rest assured that
this side of the county is for Hosch,
Holder and Moon.
Mr. and Mrs. Roy Thomas spent
Saturday and Sunday with her
mother near town.
Miss Cammie Hill of near Winder
is with her sister, Mrs. R. A. Hosch,
this week.
Mr. Green Braselton of the firm of
Braselton Bros., left Monday for
New York to buy his fall goods.
Mrs. J. N. Flanigan, who has suf
fered untold misery with a cancer on
her face for more than twelve
months, died at her home near Pir
kle’s mills Tuesday night at 9:10
o’clock. The funeral service was
conducted by Rev. Bridges of near-
Pendergrass. Her body was ten
derly laid away last Wednesday in
Bethabara cemetery. She leaves a
husband, nine children and a host of
friends to mourn her death.
Colored School.
As we look at Jefferson with its
beautiful surrounding, its wonderful
outlook, and its generous-hearted
people, we then rejoice in presenting
any educational subject before them.
To represent a community, town
or city, we will have to c nsider its
educational facilities. Enterprise,
capital, business and liberty-lov
ing people generally center around
educational influences. Proud am I
when my eyes behold that magnifi
cent building, Martin Institute—
such is a credit to the town, an honor
to the builders, and an inspiration
to the young. The coming youth
will ever inscribe in golden letters,
“Blessed are the honored dead, the
builders of Martin Institute.”
But it’s sad as I paint the picture
on the other side of the street.
There are about 200 colored school
children at Jefferson that ought to
be in school under first-class teach
ers and in a first-class school house.
But walk with me, if you please, to
our teaching place—Baptist church
—notice the rain as it pours in over
head and gushes in the windows
from pulpit to the rear of the room.
What is the natural sequence in
winter with the unfortunate, bare
footed and half-clothed children?
What even is the natural sequence of
the most fortunate ones in a cold,
open, uncomfortable house? It pro
motes and indulges restlessness, un
studiousness, unthoughtfulness, care
lessness, laziness, sickness and indo
lence.
I w ish to impress you that the en
terprising town of Jefferson is with
out a colored school house, and that
such is a discredit to the town, dis
honor to the colored race.
If it’s a fact that im
proper training is the index of
licentiousness and crime, and that
few people excuse their children
from school because of an uncomforta
ble school house, then should it
not be the responsible duty of every
individual to use every rightful and
reasonable means in propogating ed
ucational infiuenees and put an end
to the diabolical crimes?
Enough to say, we must educate
the selfish, brutish and criminating
nature out of man. Just as the
electric spark of Christianity oozes
out and lifts up the fallen, cares for
the dying and rescues the perishing,
so does the fiery llames of man, his
untutored brain, uncultured mind
and brutish desires eek out, sap the
young, and handcuff the idle.
It is well said that “An idle brain
is the devil’s workshop.” And as
General Wilson says, “He would
rather turn loose a bear, wolf, or
some wild animal on a pure civilized
Christian community than a crowd of
untutored, untrained, undisciplined
people,” because you can kill the
wild animals, but it would be a curse
to stab the ignorant man.
Ignorance, whiskey and bad money
are channels through which corrup
tion eminates. If true education
civilizes a man, lifts him above the
lower things of life,' then in behalf of
the town and the safety of the people,
let us put such educational facilities
before them, that even a fool cannot
err.
Thus I come to the tax payers of
Jefferson, the fair-minded people of
Jefferson, both white and colored,
and especially the colored, who have
slept over their rights, blind-folded
their golden opportunities, and ap
peal to your conscience, your
Christian sympathy and brotherly
kindness. I come to you in behalf
of the present and future but less
fortunate sons and daughters of this
place, and beg you to help us at
once to erect a school house that
will honor Jefferson and its col
ored citizens. Any favor received from
any source will be highly appreciated
and greatly rewarded. Please give
to no list unless it is signed by the
chairman and secretary of the trus
tees. C. L. Dunn.

Your friends may smile
But that tired feeling
Means danger. It
Indicates impoverished
And impure blood.
This condition may
Lead to serious illness.
It should be promptly
Overcome by taking
Hood’s Sarsaparilla,
Which purifies and
Enriches the blood,
Strengthens the nerves,
Tones the stomach,
Creates an appetite,
And builds up,
Energizes and vitalizes
The whole system.
Be sure to get
Only Hood’s.
