It is full time that t omething should be done in the South to show that a new Demo cratic President is to be elected in the year of oar Lord 1888. * Already three months—one fourth of the year, c-r really one third of the period of the campaign -hate j passe daw ay and not a man has been killed in this county for politi cal rearer Two or three years have get<-by bout anybody be. mg killed fer reason whatever : or for no afcv i Why ti jits’, we cab not pre tend fully to say m this brief re some of the situation. For this condition cf apathy the News may. perhaps, be responsible as the offi cial organ of the county, and we freeiy acknowledge oar share— though no: ail—*' the blame. It must be given « '■ xcu«e that we have been so ■' . tog to collect enough money to live ourself ’ that we have had no time to deprive others of life. We admit the iame ness of the excuse, bn*, if oar pat | rons will come in and pay Op. will promise to do better ia the future. Enemies of ' ’ - present proprietor ' of the News . not hesitated to say that we L. ‘men in Griffin for six long years without making any record as a ki’lisb But it is do j fault of ours. We have done enough 1 to have provoked others to kill us i without waiting so long, if they bad only Lad the nerve to make the at tempt. We have persistently assailed and challenged various opponents in the political arena, from old man Lamar down to Dosh Rockwell, but somehow they have either evaded our animosity or we have been able ourself to get away through some loophole. There hai beet- no cowardice on our part We have practiced with a Mississippi T " ,T‘ shot “ V gun °T until we could snoot all around a cm- pigeon with ' out bitting it.

The Philadelphia Record advances a novel idea. It is that each tax burdened person ot this country send to bis Congressman a postal j card containing these words: ‘-Dear Sir—I am tired of paying my share cf £lo5,000,000 that the government ! does not need. Please vote to cut off unnecessary tariff taxation. Give us free lumber, salt coa!. wool, jute, iron ore, tin plates, and cheap food and clothing. Keep the taxes on whisky and tobaco to pay pensions and interests -’ 5 If every person who favors tariff reform were to write something like the-above to bis Congressman, there would be quite a heavy mail in Washington lor some time, and several additional clerks would have to be employe.!. Members of both political parties in Minnesota are heartily indorsing that “free trade message.“ It is well for a man to be loval to bis party, but lo man wants to be tux ed to death merely because short sighted party leaders m >y Lave got themselves into a false position- Were ail wise enough to heed thi* advice ir season, a werid ot suffering would be avoided Tbe best months in which to take Hood's Sarsajwnlla, the great Wood purifier, are March April May At no other season is tbe body so much in need of, or so susceptible to the benefit to be derived from Hood's Sarsaparilla, as now. The impoverished condition of tbe Wood, tbe weakening eSects of the Iw.g.coUl winter, the lost appetite, and that tired feeling, all make a rood spring medicine absolutely necessary Try Hood's Sarsaparilla and yon will be coo- v inced that it is the ideal spring medicine.
