democrats and republicans, claim that

ters of the Confederacy.
A rsilrosd msn is authority for the
statement that more bales of hay are
imported into Georgia than bales of
cotton are exported from the state.
There is no excuse tor this.
A CHAMPION BLUNDERER.
One of the many vulnerable points
for attack which will be exposed by
the republicans in the approaching
congressional campaign, says the New
Orleans States, is the supreme folly,
or worse, of issuing the $300,000,000 of
bonds, thus saddling an additional
interest tax upon the people, and for
no good pnrpoae on earth. The ora
tors and leaders of the party of high
moral ideas and ot transcendent wis
dom will, of oonrae, rush to the vindi
cation of that measure, bnt if they can
fool the people the fact will be made
manifest thst the people are very easily
fooled. In a speech to the republican
league the other day, Congressman
Dalzell said:
The democratic party pretended to
be for the war, bnt would not furnish
the means for its prosecution.” Here
is how the Pittsburg Post pricks that
bag of gas:
“The meagre excuse for this false
statement is that the democrats refus
ed to vote for the $300,000,000 bond bill
wbich Mr. Dalzell championed. The
democrats voted for the tax bill, they
voted for the increase of the army and
navy, they voted for the emergency
$30,000,000 bill, they voted for every
measure the administration called for
bnt the loan bill, whioh they declared
to be totally unnecessary, as with the
snrplns in the treasury the war tax
and the power to issne $100,000,000
emergenoy treasury notes there was no
need ot increasing the bonded indebt
edness. With superior airs Mr. Dalzell
sneered at democrats statesmanship
and led his party into the disastrous
folly of the bond issne.
“With what resalt? The treasury
today is gorged with money to the ex
tent of $810,000,000 snrplns, the seen-
mnlations of the war tax and the bond
issne. It is a demonstration that the
democrats were right, and Mr. Dalzell,
with all his airy claims of superior
statesmanship, s financial blunderer.”
The snrplns reserves of the New
York banks as a consequence of this
republican statesmanship—a needless
bond issne in the interest of the mon
eyed class—are now lower than they
have been at any time sihee the panic
of 1893, and money from the bonds and
from the war tax is still ponring into
the treasury. Last week the treasury
took $14,000,000 from the banks on
"bond account. It is so mnoh money
drawn from the activities of business.”
STAND BY THEIR PARTY.
—7*
This is one year in which every white
voter in Georgia should make it a point
to go to the polls and vote the straight
democratic ticket. Newspaper reports
have gone abroad, says the Savannah
News, to the effeot that there is immi
nent danger of the state falling, into
the hands of a republican-populist fu
sion—m short, that “negro domina
tion,” as in North Carotins, is threat
ened. The democrats should torn out
and prove to the world, and to pros
pective immigrants and,investora espe
cially, that this is one state which par-
poses to continue under tbegovernment
of the intelligent, conservative and
careful part of ita population. Consid
erable injury will be done the state if
the belief once gets abroad that ignor
ant and incompetent and possibly cor
rupt politicians stand a chance of
capturing the Btate. Georgians, ot
course, know that there is no such
chance, and they must make their
neighbors and friends of other states
kuow it also.
The eruption of Vesuvius, now in
full blast, will be like the fizz of a
Fourth of July firecracker compared to
the eruption which awaits Candidate
Hogan and the Georgia populists s
week bonce.
The registry list for the state etect-
tion has dosed, hut not for the con
gressional election. If you neglected
your opportunity for the state election,
register now lest you be shut out also
from the congressional election.
Every citizen of Sumter county in
terested in good government should
resolve right now to go to the pollB
next Wednesday and vote and work
for the democratic nominees.
A committee consisting of Mayor
Walsh, Congressman Fleming, and
Colonel D. B. Dyer will leave this
week for Washington to press Augus
ta’s claims on tjie war department.
THE LOW PRICE ON COTTON.
The price of ootton it well oalonlated
tomakeeotton planters feel despon
dent. On Friday, in the New York
market, the loweat prioe on reoord was
tonohed. That means that nn
there is s speedy change for the better
In the priee the planters will not get
enough for their ootton to oover the
oost of growing it end the taxes on the
land on which it was grown. That is
indeed a sad outlook for them, became
it leaves them nothing pn which' to
live.
Naturally, snch a condition of affairs
makes the planters dissatisfied. Many
of them want a change of some sort in
the monetary system, thinking that
change oonldn’t possibly do then: any
harm and might do them some good.
They don’t know that a change would
benefit them, bnt they are willing to
listen to theories which point in that
direction.
There isn’t an intelligent man among
them, however, who doesn't know the
real reason for the low prioe of cotton
and how the price could be increased.
More cotton is produced than the world
needs at a price wbich would yiel<b
fairer profit to the grower. When it
is pointed out'to them that they are
growing too mnch cotton they reply
that it is all consumed, and that there
fore the amount produced is not more
than the world wants. They fail to
notice the faot that the world has jnst
so mnch money to spend for cotton
and that it simply gets more cotton for
its money when the cotton market is
overstocked. Unless the cotton grow
ers pnrposq-working for the benefit of
the consumer of cotton rather than for
their own they will have to reduce the
oottoa crop. They have been told that
the low price is dne to overproduction,
but they continue to increase the oot
ton acreage every year. They cannot
expect to be prosperous with cotton as
low as it is at present unless they can
find some way to prodnoe it at about
half what Its production now costs.

NEGR0E8 IN NORTHERN ARMY.
A good many people will be surprised
perhaps at the statement of the nam-
ber of negro soldiers injthe Civil war.
Speaking of soldiers for Cuba, an old
army offieer tells the Augusta Chron
icle that there were lOORregiments of
colored soldiers daring the war of the
rebellion. There onght to be no trouble
in getting soldiers for Cuba. By the
way, 30,000 of those colored soldiers of
thirty-five years ago died in.se; rice ot
disease and wounds. And they were
on their own soil, and nearly all joined
the army daring the last eighteen
months of the war.
The war department is wise to hold
on to the troops it now has for possible
emergencies. It wonld take a great lot
of drumming on the part of the govern
ment—and forgetting on the port of
the people—to reernit another volun
teer army in a burry.—Philadelphia
