A PETITION FOR BLACK.
\ ,, jCvideiiee of Democratic AVeek

-
Augusta Daily Tribune: The He mo-,
crats have given an evidence of tin ir
weakness and how doubtful they are as
to the possible position of inrny of Au
gusta's protninent citizens, in the com
ing special election for Congressman.
Many who ate disgusted with the
past dirty work of “the men who eon
tool” in order that Democracy might j
triumph, and who are indignant at the
present efforts of tin* Iteelets to run u.
the registration list bv fraud, have so
openly and boldly condemned , and , <>p
posed, that the Democratic managers
are possessed with a holy fear that they
will not “vote straight.”
To establish or disperse this fear the
managers hav- hit- upon the plan of
circulating-a paper around the city
;he ^nature of the citizens, lodging
them to vote and work lor the Hon. J
C. C. Black.
y U( .j, a petition, or whatever else
you may call it, is now being circulate
and even being shoved under the
nose of the working people in the
rious railroads of this city.
flic Tribune informed that it
circulated through a certain
office and shop yesterday and met
a very cold and disheartening recep
lion.
The fact of the circulation of slid I
acknowledgement a paper is looked upon of by weakness all as a plain j
auu
apathy.

Arors'rA, Ga., Richmond Go.
August I.'ih, IWI.’i.
- Necessity compels me to appeal 1o
honest public for justice ami an
honest ballot so that, former wtongs
rmty be righted and previous disgrace
be. wiped out.
It is a question that ev, rv good citi
should consider if the good name
Augusta should be made to stink in
she nostrils of the honest men of the
'^public to gratify the ambition „f the
C H istinu statesman and lilt the poekt
unscrupulous wardhoelers and
their dirty instrunfents of stuffing the.
ballot . boxes. . It . may sound rhetor.-:,1
t fools’ who listen to the cry of tin
editors of the two unscrupulous Demo
cratic newspapers (who write ibi
money at the dictates of their nut: ters
ami not for principle) of cate!: the
when they are secreting the
tin ‘ves themselves.
f i lie approaching election is not n
battle for the victory in this county of
the Populist or Democratic parties, or
to put in oliico either Mr. AV’alson ot
Mr. Black, but it is a light for a. clean
ballot and an honest count. The Bopu
lists will exhaust every means, and
unite with any man or bodv of men t“
prosecute and imjiri- -m all fraudulent
voters and their abettors; especially
those men who sit up iu (he Dyer
building and Seek on their wretched
tools of corruption and think by going
to c i iurc |, that they are deceiving tlioii
Maker. The trick of registering so
called twenty-one year old negroes by
the werd-heeleis has been paactieed in
this city for years, to its disgrace and
shame; are we to tolerate if longer and
have the city turned over to an irre¬
sponsible mob directed by the corrupt
ward-heelers? Every charge made by
the Tribune can be proven, if the
courts aud their officers will do their
ii nt \. Why does not Mr. Black come
out over his own signature, protest
against and condemn the fraudulent
'- ^isir atiott going on at the Court
house ? VVhy \vus Bill Fleming’s Fetter
on this subject not published, and was
suppressed by that corrupt crowd that
meets in the Dyer building?
T in' Populists are not helpless in (his
light, if they are poor, as they are
struggling for principle and right, and
feel justified in using the means they
have to compel justice. We have np
pealed to reason for justice,and begged
fot right in the past without being
heeded. If our cry is not heeded in
the approaching election, wo shall ad¬
vise the following of the Populist
party to do their business <■ isewhere.—
It has long been the desire of the rank
and file of t lie Populist party to pursue
such a course; but they have been per¬
suaded out Of it by the leaders. We
only a- k for an honest registration, a
free ballot, a fair count, and we intend
to have it or measure out a penalty
that the city will never forget. We have
been driven to this by wrongs heaped
upon wrongs; intimidation piled upon
intimidation; murders upon murders
and debauchery of the ballot-box upon
debauchery. Harsh metis tires should
never be resorted to until every menus
of defense aud persuasion is exhausted
and then only to sustain and maintain
a principle. Tim purity of the ballot
box is involved iu this fight, and not
the victory of any party or the success
of any man.
We urge upon all lovers of an honest
election, irrespective of parties aud
who are interested in the growth and
welfare of this city to meet and com¬
mand the overthrow of the ward-heel
cis and erect on their ashes a free hal¬
lot, an honest registration and a fair
count, and all will be well, and the
prosperity of ibis city will be onward
and^ upward. Otherwise the penalty
wi!i be meted out to the criminal.

Answer 4 —liillsido ditches have
been very aptly formed “highway rob¬

much of tho fertility of oar lands
which might otherwise have boon pre¬

terraces and ditches in that the find

tion of rich deposits, while the )u#to,r

wo can cacnhitoon eventuality securing
a compact firm terrace. Tho horaks
can bo strengthened as they develop,
and once the terraces are well set all
water that goes over the bank..will flow
iu a thin, broad sheet, leaving its val
liable burden of plant food on or above
the terrace. A good terracing level is
absolutely essential—without it we can¬
not do accurate work—and will cost
from $6 00 to 1 1 0.0b. Full instructions

the maker or seWor.
