The Kind You Have Always Bought Another View of the Race Question- The Baltimore Sun thus tersely states the case: ‘The negroes were invested with the right to vote in or der that they might strengthen the republican party and enable it to con tinue its bold upon both houses of ' Congress They were welded into a compact body by the sinister teach ings of white men, in most cases tin* principled northern adventurers, who made them belive that the southern white man was their sworn enemy and would do them all manner of harm if he was in power in the south. By playing upon the fears of the ne groes and also by promises of ‘forty acres and a mule,’ the black* were solidified against the southern whites, and opposed them politically at every point and upon every issue—and this opposition has continued to the pres ent time.” When Nature Needs assistance it may be best to render it promptly, but one should remember to use even the most perfect remedies only when needed. The best and most simple and gentle remedy is the Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Co. . • ■ ■ ■ >i.

I went to a picnic Saturday, And had a “big old time’’ Eating chicken and other things, I Which were very fine. i I went “up and down” the table, . Eating all I could, as long as I wat able ; I ate so much 1 couldn’t walk, And some said 1 “swallowed a fork ’’ . I got me a box and 1 sat down i And I bet I»h ■ r twenty pour.M- An 1 'bum i .tn- ii< "iV' with apple pie, ( I ate s< > much 1 tnfrtight I’d die! i And before I could recover, so I again j could eat, 1 Along come another fellow with “that . Digby beef.’’ | I commenced getting hungry, and took a ’ little piece— And, after eating all of that, which was j “out of sight,” j I called him back and got some more, " And told him “times were tight 1 ” We attended the annual picnic at Digby ’ Saturday, w’hich was the most enjoyable one we have attended in years. The din ner was bountiful, and we are due the la lies of this ( mmunity many thanks for the dainty and tempting repast, which was much enjoyed by all. We were en tertained in the afternoon by an excellent address by Prof. Walter Scott, of llollon ville, subject,“Our Sunny South Land.” Mr. Scott is a splendid orator, and bandied his subject well. Lemonade was also plen tiful, and everybody went home feeling better and happier for having attended this grand picnic. Marsh Johnson, the champion “honey eater,” was at the picnic with a smile on his face “as long as your arm.” We think ( he is still the “champion of the vrorld,” when it comes to eatin’ honey. We have had several nice rains, which are appreciated by all. We think the tarmers ought to sow fall oats, instead of spring, and then, if they don’t have time to mature, the land can be put in something else. W. M. and C. T. Digby have the finest corn we have seen. J. C. Swann and wife and Mrs. Susan i Long visited relatives at Starr's Mill Sun day. Arthur Mathews, of Woolsey, spent! Sunday with C. E. Coppedge. Geo.

Emmett Scott, of Hollonville, attended the picnic here Saturday. Ellis Maynard visited relatives at Tyson Sunday. John Woods,of Brooks Station, was here Monday. Miss Sallie Coppedge, one of our charm ing young ladies, is visiting relatives at Haralson this week. E. P. Shannon went to Williamson last Thursday. Capt. J. A. J. Tidwell has returned home, to the delight of his many friends, after six weeks’ visit to Texas. He visited the homes of many former Georgians, and was the recipient of many courtesies. He was delighted with his trip, and says the “crops here look like starvation” by the side of those in Texas. He said he saw corn in the silk, as high as a man's head,! and cotton nearly knee high. Mr. Ed. and correspondents : If you I hear of another picnic before we do, please • let us know, as I am all “O. K.” now, and i ready for the next. Success to the Call, and may it always | . be an up-to-date paper, as it is today. MOZLEY'S LEMON ELIXIR.
