To the Hon. Thos. S. Johnson, Ch’h.
Ex. Cam. P. P. Jackson Cos.:
Dear Sir: —l note that you con
clude your answer to my pleasantry
relative to “jint” debaters, published
in the Economist of last week, with
the assurance that Populist “jint” de
baters are on hand in abundance in
Jackson county. And you vaguely
express a willingness to have them
meet Democrats in joint discussion.
We can hardly think you serious in
these statements. Four years ago
Democratic speakers canvassed the
county offering equal division of time
to any Populist speaker who would
present himself, and ye would not,
but preferred to scour the communi
ties begging your people not to at
tend the Democratic meetings. Your
plumed knights became too large
after one debate to meet our little
fellows with no frills on, and your
little fellows, if you had any, refused
to “jint.” I must congratulate you
upon their resurrection, and I hope
to hear them abroad in the land. Of
course, I understand that you are
only keeping up appearances by that
seeming banter. For your encour
agement, however, I will state that
if at any time one of those many
orators wants a “jint,” and can find
in our ranks one of proper calibre to
suit his fastidiousness, he may be
accommodated.
Most respectfully yours,
Jno. N. Ross,
Ch’n. Dem. Party J. C.
UEMtUK.ATN MET.
The Democratic committees met
at the court house last Monday and
held a very harmonious and inter
esting meeting. All the districts
were represented, and favorable re
ports came from all, relating to the
political outlook. They had no pub
lic speeches, but gave audience to
the veterans, who occupied the court
room, and enjoyed the speeches of
the old soldiers. The committees
met in the grand jury room, which
was kindly tendered us by Judge
Bradbury. The whole day was
spent profitably and pleasantly. Men
from the various portions of the
county met and shook hands, con
ferred, and declared their allegiance
to the Democratic party. Among
them were men who propose to set
tle the strife by coming back to the
party they left when this political
strife was inaugurated. Our party
is well organized, and will make a
vigorous campaign.
KE (ONSERVATIVE.
Democ -its, we congratulate you
upon the progress you have made in
the campaign which is now on in
this county. We must commend the
manly conduct of Democrats
through our late primary, and the
way the friends of the defeated can
didates accepted the result. Beset
on all sides by enemies who strove
to inject spite and discord into your
ranks, you kept cool heads, and
named a ticket satisfactory to all.
The race in Jackson is to be a hot
contest. Our opponents have pitched
it on a dangerous plane. Heretofore
they vented their spleen on imagi
nary men, in the main, claiming that
the rank and file of our party was
alright. Now they assail the charac
ters of the best men in Jackson, and
charge corruption at their hands j
while performing duty under oath.
We can but regret this Mate of
things. We cannot afford to meet it
by assailing the character of the best
men in their ranks, however reasona
ble the counter charge may appear.
This is our home, and we hope to
see the day when these men now in
opposing factions may walk together
as brethren unfettered by green
eyed envy and spite. We should
now appeal to those who are reasona
ble, and ask where this fratricidal
fight is to end. ’Twere better to ac
cept defeat at the hand of any foe
than to drag our manhood into the
depths of degradation and unreason
ing hate.
Then, fellow Democrats, keep your
heads, and stand above appealing to
the very lowest passions and preju
dices in the human breast. While
you hurl back the vague slanders of
those who offer spiteful surmises for
reason, do not degrade yourselves by
answering in the same unreasoning
spirit. They confess the straits to
which they are put. Nothing but
the even temper of our men has kept
back the personal strife witnessed in
South Carolina and elsewhere during
all these contests. When the open
flaunting of names in print is accom
panied by a partizan analysis of
character, the danger line is reached.
Then, gentlemen, be conservative
under these spiteful taunts, and
fight the battles of Democracy till
the last flag goes down, and Jackson
is controlled by a harmonious, rea
sonable people.
This battle is bringing into the
columns of their papers those appeals
to prejudice, which have long been
made in private. Read the epistle
from their chairman critically. What
are his methods? What means that
far fetched spleen begetting men
tion of “poor white trash?” What
means his thrust at churches, that
he would have you believe, nourish
hypocrits and sinners for sake of the
pay? What means his mention of
men whose names do not appear on
the grand jury list? Read it, analyze
it, then say whether he appeals to
reason and the noble instincts of the
human breast, or to the baser senti
ments. We hold him in high es
teem, and caution him against pitch
ing this battle on such a plane. He
should call back his harsh insinua
tions before it becomes a part of his
history in Jackson county.
In the ranks of the Populist party
are those dear to us as friends, as
kinsmen, and no dirty scheme of poli
ticians in their ranks shall induce us
to make sweeping charges that sully
the characters of those who are and
shall ever be dear to us. We believe
them far above Buch methods, hon
est in conviction and practice. When
they deceive us and bow the knee to
that baal w T hich lowers our manhood,
engenders strife, and writes a dark
page in the history of our county,
we shall be grieved. Let us speak
with soberness.
READ THEM PLANK.
Civilization, to say nothing of re
ligion, has entered up judgement of
condemnation against the barroom.
The public conscience revolts at
the license symptoms, w 7 hich fosters
the saloon and generates its manifold
evils in consideration of revenue that
pays less than a tithe of the public
burdens it entails. It is monopo
listic and essentially immoral. We
favor the passage of an anti-barroom
bill which shall close the barrooms at
once, which shall make secure the
local prohibition already obtained
and provide for the sale of intoxicat
ing liquors otherwise than in bar
rooms under public control.
We publish the above plank in the
Populist state platform for the rea
son that many people believe it to
be a prohibition plank Read it, my
friend, and see if you can tell your
neighbor what the position of our
Populist friends is on the liquor
question. They want liquor sold
under some plan. Can any Populist
tell how? They are against bar
rooms. Are they for or against dis
pensaries? Let some Populist solon
give us light on the subject. They
were prohibitionists two years ago.
What are they now? Their chair
man of Ex. Com. of this county says
their principles have not changed in
the least. Is he correct?
Do good honest Populists think
that this division of our people tends
to make us better or worse? If they
had the power to restore the har
mony and peace that existed before
this party strife began, would they
not cheerfully do so? The condition
is beyond us, friends; let us make
the best of it.
Judge James K. Hines, who was
nominated for congress some days
ago by the Populists of the Fifth
district, has declined to make the
race. He addressed a letter to the
notification committee declining to
accept the nomination. Private
business is the reason assigned.
KEGISTEK THE VOTERS.
Once more we wish to urge Demo
crats to register. Don’t be content
to complain at the tax collector, at
the law, or anything else. Work your
districts thoroughly, know those who
have not registered, and show them
the importance of being ready for
the October election. “If Mohammed
cannot bring the mountain to him,
Mohammed can go to the mountain.”
Cheerily the battle goes on. If you
can’t know the appointments of the
accommodating deputies, you do
know the way to the court house.
Obstacles must be great ones that
thwart the unterrified Democrats of
Jackson county. They laugh at your
partizanship, and scorn littleness.
The day is coming when men will
perform duty for duty’s sake. Then
set the wheels rolling ’till Sept. 14,
and all will be well. The talk may
come in later.
CAUTIOUSI.Y THEY MOVE.
The little black horse makes its
nocturnal perambulations quietly as
Bar quo’s ghost. The driver, armed
with his registration pamphlet la
beled, “Expressly for family use,”
chuckles and winks the other eye
when he considers the benighted
condition of the poor Democrat he is
passing by. He cares not if a tax
payer is forced to ride ten miles to
register on account of lack of cour
tesy to him by a paid servant. That
is one way to fill an effice.
“Will Stay at Father’s House.-'’
Stony Point, Ga., Sept. 5, ’9B.
Editor Herald:
Permit me, through the columns
of your paper, to review the political
past, and look a little into the near
future, as well.
Only a few years ago, when poli
tics was at a white-heat, what was
the cry? “Reform in every depart
ment, and avenue of the machinery;”
“cut down salaries, etc.;” “lower the
taxes of the toilers;” “the one gallua
fellow;” the homy-hand fellows who
follow the plow.” We admired that
policy, and was soul and body in fa
vor of it.
“Free silver at a parity”—l was in
favor of that also. “A fair count,”
“equal rights, etc.,” “special privi
leges to none,” all of which we en
dorsed, and in our little weak way
advocated, wanting pure and honest
administration of the laws, as a loyal
citizen.
We Stony Point men believed, sin
cerely, that the government, under
the then present administration, was
somewhat corrupted—that we had
been “left” under Cleveland & Cos.
But who were going to reform the
country? was the vital question; who
would set the ball in motion?
“Follow us; we will lead you out
of the wilderness.” Now I ask, with
all candor, when and where did the
reform take place? Jackson county
has been under “the good, honest
reformers” long enough to see, if a
man wants to see. Aren’t our taxes
higher than ever before? Don’t the
Clerk and all the surbordinates, to
say nothing of the Sheriff and Dep
uty, take the same fees?
’Tis strange, passingly strange,
that a few chronic office seekers who
had been left out in the wet, should
assume the role of Moses to bring
the children out of the wilderness.
Yes, we have been humbugged on
the various isms—“railroads,” “tele
graph,” “telephone,” by the “govern
ment issuing money direct to the
people, issue plenty of it, stamp it,
and let the people have it,” ’till we
have very near starved out on isms
—they won’t clothe nor feed the
children.
It is clear to any unprejudiced
mind that all there is in it is the
office. The hue and cry was,
“Economy,” “cut down the salaries;”
who has set the example? “The man
must not seek the office, but the
office seek the man.” Oh, con
sistency—where’s Tom now? Tom
knows when the hen’s fat; he don’t
•want to condescend so low as to fill
the gubernatorial chair. Where is
Jim? Where are all those men who
a few years ago were going in the
“middle of the road (in mud)?”
“No fusion; no, you can fuse with us,
but we won’t fuse with you.” It
looked very much like it when they
hitched up Tom by the narrative
(tail) with Bryan. “Stay in the
middle of the road,” is the slogan.
There is no salvation for this coun
try only through the Democratic
party. Where are the men who
flopped and said, “We would rather
have the Republicans than the Demo
crats”—then why vote for Bryan?
why not vote for McKinley? No
reason, no sense in such talk.
Jim and Newt, to the contrary, not
withstanding, “elect me, and you get
10c for your cotton, vice versa, Tate,
5c.” Tate was elected; we got Bc,
and he’ll be elected again. Hurrah
for the Democrats.
“There are none so blind as those
who have eyes and will not see,” etc.
If this is Jeffersonian doctrine, we
up here don’t want any more in
ours. We shall, to almost a man
(few sore heads excepted) support
the Democratic nominees, Holder,
Hosch, and so on.
Now, Mr. Editor, in conclusion, if
we can be pardoned for flopping, w r e
will try to stay at “father’s house.”
Then three big cheers for Candler,
and all the way down the line here
after. I hope you will all forgive.
Yours, The Quill.
W. T. Stevens.
Mr. Editor: —Please allow me
space in your valuable paper to say a
few things in regard to W. T. Ste
vens, the Democratic nominee for
sheriff of Jackson county. I have
known Mr. Stevens from his boy
hood days. We have lived in the
same neighborhood for twenty-five
years. I will say without any hesi
tancy that he is one of the best men
I ever knew. He is a man with a
spotless character—an honor to any
neighborhood, and it will be an
honor to Jackson county to elect
him sheriff. He is known, loved and
honored by his neighbors. He is a
kind, good neighbor, kind to the
poor, sick and afflicted. No one ever
appealed to him to help an object of
charity and went away empty. He
is a member of the church, and the
best of all a devout Christian. I
have made the above statement of
facts because I felt it my duty to do
so, which will meet the approval of
all who know W. T. Stevens

HARMONY GROVE.
Hon. B. T. Mosely, a prominent
lawyer of Danielsville, and also edi
tor of the Monitor, was in town last
Sunday.
Your correspondent found out
that Mr. Z. W T . Hood was misin
formed as to his name not appearing
on the register book. The fault,
however, was not in Mr. Hood, for
he asked the man who was acting in
Mr. Head’s place, and he told Mr.
Hood that his name was not on the
books, and it was then that he made
the statement he was quoted as say
ing. We have, however, seen Mr.
Hood’s name on the book in two
places.
We were glad that Mr. Head came
back on the evening of the Ist o f
this month and gave us the one hour
and three quarters that Mr. Henry
failed to do. We believe that Mr.
Head wants to treat us fair in the
matter, but he is evidently handi
capped by some of the Populist
leaders.
Mr. George Hawks, from Hawks
store, was in town last Saturday
evening, and told your correspondent
that Clerk C. C. Chandler was down
at his store last Wednesday evening
and night with a register book; that
he was carrying the book around
with him for his friends and support
ers to register in. The funny part
about the matter is the excuse that
he gave Mr. Hawks for having the
book. He told Mr. Hawks that the
register man started with him and
got sick, and he just carried the book
on with him. When the truth is
that Mr. Chandler left Jefferson on
the Monday evening before and was
seen by a number of persons on the
road between here and Jefferson in
the buggy by himself. Mr. Head
was in Jefferson after the clerk left.
So it appears that Mr. Chandler all
last week had with him a register
book for the Populists to register in.
Mr. Hawks says he carried the book
in his coat pocket. Mr. Chandler
stayed the night before with Mr. J.
N. Wood of our town, and we are
sure that no one in town knew that
he had a register book unless it was
some of his Populist friends. But
there is another strange thing about
this register book that Chandler
had. On the same day that he had
one at Hawks store, Mr. Head called
up John D. Barnett from Pender
grass over the telephone and told
him that he would get the man in
Jefferson to bring the book from
there over here to make out that
hour and three quarters. This dis
trict having more voters than any
one in the county, was, after some
kicking,given one half a day in which
to register in. Whereas, Newtown
district that has not much more than
half as many voters, was given one
day and a half, and then Claud
Chandler was sent tack down there
with a register book to stay as long
as he pleased. One can easily un
derstand the reason for this—New
town is a Populist district, and this
is a Democratic district. Messrs.
Taylor and Dilmus Lord say that it
was by the merest accident that they
found out that Chandler was down
there at Hawks store with a register
book. Such unfairness on the part
of the Populists is driving off some
of their best men, who will vote the
Democratic, ticket. A man who had
been a prominent Populist and lives
down below town, told us last week
that such action on the part of the
Populist leaders had driven him into
the Democratic party. We welcome
all such men back into our ranks.
A Colored Man on Politics.
Pendergrass, Ga., Sept. 5, ’9B.
Mr. Editor:—
Please allow me space in your val
uable paper to say a few words con
cerning the coming election.
We, as Afro-Americans, should
think for ourselves, and vote accord
ingly. The hypocrisy of all political
utterances has been proved over and
over again during the past few years
in the United States. No man of
honesty and high purpose can help
blushing for shame when he reviews
the broken promises of his own po
litical organization, no matter what
it may be. “Righteousness exalts a
nation,” says an authority which most
Americans regard with respect—ex
cept during a political campaign.
To be a strong Democrat or strong
Republican, is often to be contempti
bly weak as an American. Loyalty
to party, often means disloyalty to
the nation. Party platforms are sel
dom framed according to the will of
the majority; they are framed by the
leaders, and often for the leaders
own personal purposes.
Loyalty should be accorded the
nation first, the party afterwards.
Party is regarded as a means, not an
end. It is peculiarly stupid and dis
graceful that any intelligent Ameri
can should be able to say, with Sir
Joseph Porter, in “Pinafore”—
“I always voted at my party’s call,
And I never thought of thinking for myself at
all.”
No party should be a voter’s ruler.
It is his servant.
I do not mean to say that I am a
leader of my race, but one who tries
to follow in the footsteps of those
who have left footprints worthy of
imitation on the sands of time. Let
us have fewer leaders, and more fol
lowers.
As Prof. Rakestraw, chairman of
Jackson county Republican party,
says, “As we have nothing at stake,
we should support tho best element. :i
Editor •; -r Jy once said: “The man
who kind s ne fire on the hearth
stone of au honest and righteous
home, burns the best incense to lib
erty. He does not love mankind less
who loves his neighbor most.”
Exalt the citizen. As the state is
the unit of the government, so he is
the unit of the state. Teach him
that his humble home is his castle
and his sovereignty lies] beneath his
hat. Let us stand upright and fear
less, a freeman born of freemen,
dowering our family in the sweat of
our brow, loving to our state, loyal
to our republic, earnest in our alle
giance wherever it rests, but build
ing our alter in the midst of our
household gods, and shrining in our
own hearts the uttermost temple of
its liberty.
There are two parties now before
us, and I say that we, the negro, be
long to neither one, but if we desire
to cast lots, let it be with the party
that is and that has been in plainest
view. Men and brethren, think on
these things. Very Respt.,
* J. W. King.
About the Jackson County Singing 1
Convention.
•
Editor Herald:— lf you will al
low me space in the columns of your
paper to say a few words to the peo
ple of Jackson county in regard to
sacred music and the Jackson county
singing convention, it will be appre
ciated.
This convention was organ
ized at Oconee church in 1878, aud
has been in existence ever since. The
object of this convention was to build
up and promote the cause of sacred
songs throughout Jackson county,
and it has done a great deal of good
to that effect. This convention is a
noble organization, and one that
should receive the hearty support of
every lover of sacred songs in Jack
son county. It is a place where the
people of the county may come to
gether once a year and exchange
ideas and discuss questions as to how
we may most successfully promote
the cause of song, and where we may
all unite our voices in singing the
beautiful songs of Zion.
There is great need of a revival of
sacred songs in all of our churches.
We need to know how to render our
songs more effectually. We need to
sing with more spirit. The effect of
a good sermon may be lost by the
song that follows it, and the way it
is sung—and on the other hand, the
interest may be increased, and the
sermon have a greater effect if the
singing is of the right kind and
spirit.
Some people sing just merely for
a show, others sing for pastime, and
it is better to sing for pastime than
for the mind to be employed think
ing of something or reading some
thing that is degrading and damna
ble to you. But when we go out to
the house of God, we should be more
earnest in our songs; we should try
to get down into the depths of the
sentiments of the author, and try to
feel and realize what we are singing.
The singing before a service is a
good foretelling of the kind of ser
vice that is to follow. If the singing
is dull, the service is more than apt
to be dull; if the singing is lively
and spiiited, the service will be good.
And 1 believe that one great mission
of sacred songs is to prepare our
minds and thoughts for the service
which may follow it, for we are al
ways called upon to sing before any
kind of service, and the better the
singing the better the effect. I don’t
believe there is any one who can sit
in a church where there is good sing
ing going on and concentrate his
thoughts on any line of business.
Singing is elevating to us—it takes
our minds away from earthly things,
and causes us to think of things that
are higher and nobler—it gets us
close to each other, and makes us
love one another better. There is
something very strange about it that
we will never know here, but will
know it in its native land.
If you have ever attended a six
days singing school you have no
doubt seen how singing people be
come attached to each other just in
that short length of time. It is al
ways a very sad thing to separate at
the end of a singing school, more so
than at any other gathering I have
ever attended. Why is it so? There
is something about it that is binding,
and I don’t believe there is a man
under the sun who can explain it,and
I believe there is many a soul reach
ed by the influence of song that
could have never been reached in any
other way.
Let us take more interest in sa
cred music; let us teach it more to
our children, and practice it more in
our homes, for what a nice thing it
is to have music in the home.
We could say many things about
sacred music, but we do not wish to
be lengthy, and now, in conclusion,
I want to say to the people of Jack
son county who love sacred song,
come to the adjourned session of the
convention which meets at Oconee
church the third Sunday and Satur
day before in September, and help
us to make it what it should be. And
we want to say to the older people
who assisted in the organization of
the convention and who have gone
off from it, to come back. If you
can’t sing, you can aid us by your
wise counsel and encourage us with
your presence, and we will certainly
appreciate that. And we want to
say furthermore, that every church,
Sunday school, singing society, choir,
or literary school where singing is
practiced, is entitled to a representa
tion of four delegates in this conven
tion. Let all who can, come on
Saturday, as there is important busi
ness to attend to. Come, and bring
your song books, and we hope you
will be benefitted by so doing.

There is more catarrh in this section of the
country than all other diseases put together,
and until the last few years was supposed to be
Incurable. For a great many years doctors pro
nounced It a local disease, and prescribed local
remedies, and by constantly fallng to cure with
local treatment, pronounced it Incurable, sci
ence has proven catarrh to tn a constitutional
disease, and therefore requires constitutional
treatment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure, manufactured

“ I was in good health up to about 15
years ago, when I began to suffer from
constipation and pile3, aud neglect of
a cold brought on catarrh, followed by
heart difficulty, and liver and kidney
troubles. My constitution fought against
them all, until my suffering drove me to
consultation with my father, who was a
physician. He advised me to take Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. Having confidence in his
judgment I began taking the medicine, to
gether with Hood’3 Pills, and I ended
with them, taking no ether medicines,
and the benefits I have derived from them
have been great and surprising. Since
then Hood’s Sarsaparilla has been to me,
as my husband says, ‘a friend in need’.’’
