“If there is a city this side of hell
that needs r dt-tnpllon it is Afigusla”
ltcv. 1L L. Embry at St. Lukes Church,
Augusta.
If Major Black is after the square
tiling, why don’t he condemn tho out
lagoons action of the heelers at the
( ourt house in Augusta ?
II. W. J. Ham proved to be the
drawing card that succeeded in getting
an audience for Major Black in Au¬
gusta on Wednesday night of last week.
The Augusta Tribune has been un¬
tiring in its effoits to expose the frauds
that are being perpetrated at the, Court
House in that city by illegal register¬
ing.
If Populism issue’ll a menace to our
country, for Heaven’s sake what is
Demoerny, a party that lias done more
to destroy the prosperity and progress
of our country, than did the late war?
The present political contest in this
District is to decide whether a fair
ballot counts for anything. It is not
for the success of cither Black or Wat¬
son, but for a clean ballot.
Last Wednesday lightning struck the
residence of A. I. Holmes, near Davis
boro, Ga. IBs son Will Holmes, was
lying on a bed and the lightning played
all around it. The house and bed were
slightly injured, but no oue was hurt.
Mr. Black resigned after the last
election because the fraud was too
apparent to be hid. llow can he re¬
main a candidate now, when the fraud
is just as open and known by all men ?
—Augusta Tribune.
Rev. II. L. Embry of St Luke’s
Church in Augusta preached an able
sermon again in that city on lust Sun¬
day night on the corrupt methods
being used by the ward heelers iu reg
isting illegal voters.
There has been an effort made on
the part of the goldbugs to side-track
the silver question now before the peo¬
ple, but this great question will not
down, the people will continue to
agitate it until silver is restored to its
proper place as the money of the peo¬
ple.
This is the day of action. If you
wish to T-main under the tyrant yoke
of England, support the Democratic
candidate for Congress. If you wish
to return to the days of America's
Independence and for the people to
rule, vote for the People's Party can¬
didate for Congress.
We would like for any one to point
out a single goldbug who is a supporter
of Mr. Watson for Congress. Yet
Mr. Black has numerous supporters
that are anient supporters of the gold
staudard. The goldbugs favors Mr.
Black because he put himself on re¬
cord when lie voted to repeal the
Sherman purchasing act, thereby
placing this country on a gold standard.
The campaign in this district is
warming up to a considerable
and “the men who control” the demo
cratic party in this district are busy in
giviug fheir instructions how to perform
nefatious work, in order that the
democratic candidate may be elected.
Misrepresentations are being made
against Mr. Watson and the populist
party in order to secure supporters for
Mr. Black. But the past record* of the
democratic party are enough to dis
gust any fair and honest man. The
methodsof the “men who control”
won’t have the endorsement of re
mctable people.
THE CAMPAIGN.
The State Democratic Executive
Committee met in Atlanta on lant
Thursday for the purpose of devising
means whereby Mr. Black's interest
may be furthered. The committee de¬
cided to canvass the leading cities in
the State to raise funds in Mr. Black’s
behalf, and also decided to send speak¬
ers in this District from different parts
of the State to make speeches for Mr.
Black. Thusitwilibe seen that tiie
batteries of the entire State Demo¬
cracy will lie turned against the Popu¬
lists in this District, lint the Popu¬
lists are not alarmed in the least, ihey
are fully prepared for the fray that
seems evident before them.
It is now claimed by the “men who
control” 1 he State Democracy, that the
defeat of Mr. Watson in the Tenth this
lime will mean the death knell to the
Populist party; but such is not the case,
ihe truth of the matter is, this is the
last struggle of the defunct Democratic
party, and after this race is over, th •
small remnant left of the Democrats
will seek shelter in the Republican
camp.
The principles that have always
characterized the Populists party re¬
main the same to-day, while those of
the Democratic party have been so
varied tlrat even their most gifu-d
statesmen cannot comprehend tiiem.
The day of false generalities is a
thing of tire past. The people intend
to stand by that party that looks to the
“greatest good 1 to the greatest number,”
and the fundamental principles of t lie
People’s Party are founded upon that,
and that alone.
No doubt the present campaign will
arose more enthusiasm and interest
that were first anticipated, from the
fact, that Major Black and some of his
supporters contended lrom the first
tlrat there was rto use of a canvas of
ihe District, but since the Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Coirv
mitlce lias taken this matter in hand
and decided to send speakers iuto this
District, it is safe to predict that the
Populist party will s! dl the woods
with their gifted and matchless orators
in the persons of Watson, Hines,Carter
and others.
On with the dance.
WITHOUT AST JUSTIFICATION.
“We do not offer the frauds jrrac
tlced by Populists ns justlflcairon for
Democratic frauds.”—Augusta Chroni¬
cle. We don’t blame the Chronicle
for not attemptiug the imopssible. Be¬
yond a blatant charge of fraud, like the
thief bawling “stop thief” to divert
attention from himself, no charge of
fraud has been made against the Popui
lists. Not one single specified iustance
of illegal registration by a Populist has
been cited. The Chronicle is wine for
not offering Populist hands practiced
by Populists.
But why does not our deaf contem¬
porary say on what grounds it justifies
the disgusting frauds now perpetrated
by its party in this city. It will not
deny that the new registration offices
were opened for the sole purpose of
facilitating fraud. It does not deny
that ail the specified cases of fraud al¬
ready exposed in the Tribune are true.
To-day the streets leading to the new
registration otlieos are alive with bug¬
gies and carriages hauling the idle, the
worthless and the vicious negroes to
these offices on by-streets to swell the
number of names which shall be voted
for Mr. Black by adding fraudulent
names to the list. It is fraud, sicken¬
ing, disgustiug and gigantic. On what
ground does the Chronicle justify
that?
Speak out, dear Nancy. The people
are curious to know what plea the
Fraudocrats will offer in justification
of violation every appearance of fair¬
ness and decency.—Augusta Tribuue.
Waynesboro True Citizen: A num¬
ber of milch cows have died recently
in the vicinity of 1-awtonvillc and Per¬
kins Junction. No one seems to know
what the malady is. It appears to af¬
fect the throat most, aud the animals
rub themselves very raw under the
throat and finally die.

THE PRICE OF COTTON.
The Savannah News in commet ting
upon the address recently issued to the
Southern.fat mere by lion, llecton Colton I).
y, president of the Southern
Growers’Association, has this to saj:
‘• The English buyers are going t< get
the cotton for as low a price as they
can. In pursuance of that policy t leir
agents are making predictions of a crop
of 8,000,000 or 0.000.000 bales. They
Would p edict over 10,000,Of 0 in all
probability if they thought such a pre¬
diction would have any influent- i on
the cotton market.
“it is prettv generally admitted that
the crop is going to be a short one.
Even it the weather in the next f mr
weeks should be extremely favorable
throughout the entire cotton belt, the
yield would not be greaty increased
beyond what it would be under avenge
weather conditions, and there is no
good reason for thinking conditions
I eitcr than the average will prevail in
i he whole cotton belt.
“Let the cotton growers act with
good judgement in disposing of thflir
cotton, and the chances are that they
will get 8 cents, and peihaps more Jbr
their cotton. There is no reason py
they should be in a hurry to maEjet
iheir cotton. Most of them have raised
abundant food crops, and they are in a
position to hold on f > their money crop.
They should not p- .nit themselves to
be seared by the repotts of the English
agents that the crop is going to bt a
large one. The reports of such tnei as
Mr. Lane arc much more reliable tf in
those of “bear”speculalors, whose J le
object is to get the cotton at as low; a
price as possible.”
THE PISTOL HABIT
It is impossible to read the news¬
papers without coming to the conclu¬
sion that the pistol habit is almost an
epidemic in this country.
It is confined to no section, race,
Nationality or class. On the same day
that we read of a pistol murder iu
Tennessee, New York comes to the
front with the murder of one brother
by another, and the murder of a wife
by her husband; all the work of the
pistol. \
We hear of the pistol everywhere!
The manufacturers and the dealer f
must be coining money. It must
the biggest iuilustry iu the country.
Pistols in the courtroom, pistols in
the jury room, pistols in church, pistols
iudoor and out, in the barroom and iu
my lady’s boudair—pistols, pistols
everywhere 1
No wonder we have murders. IIow
can a man tote a pistol during this
I rtW-wow Weather without using it
when his fevered brain reels under the
malign influence of the dog star?
But it is said that bad men defy the
liiw and carry pistols, and thus make
it uecessary fof good citizens to arm
themselves. This is mistake. All
that is necessary is to enforce the law,
and enforce it qtrickly and with crush¬
ing severity. If the policemen and
detectives would lie half as alert
about this one thing as they Sfre about
some Very unimportant matters, they
would have regiments of pistol toters
before the coiirts.
We aro not tiflking about any one
locality. We are striking at a natioual
crime. The hip pocket pistol murders
more people in this Country every year
than perish in the average Central
American or Cnban revolution. In
the majority of cases good mtenr are the
victims. Under odt present lax sys¬
tem every citizen when he goes down
town iu the morning is at the mercy
of some excitable fellow who loses his
head on account of the weather or
some imaginary grievance.
Even when the pistol toter dfoe? not
make targets of his fellow citizens
there is danger. MaDy a man commits
suicide because he has a pistAL If he
had been unarmed he would have
recovered from his depression an® life
would have again had charms forBrim.
The pistol habit is a bad one prom
every point of view, and the rts,
the press, the pulpit and public Opin¬
ion should combine together* and
smash it.—Constitution.

CLASSES AGAINST THE MASSE 3.
From the very first of this great
political conflict, the Populists have
contended that it was a tight of the
classes against the masses, aui be a
man ever so blind with partizanship he
cannot fail to see it hi that way.
To take the acts of the present ad¬
ministration and the past Congressi s
for half a century, are sufficient proofs
of that matter, and if the people ever
expect to live under a republican foim
of government, the reiiYs of govern¬
ment will have to be taken out of the
hands of such men’ as Cleveland,
Carlisle, and Sherman, before we ure
an independent government again, a
thing that our forefathers fought for
and succeeded in achieving.
But to day we see the tyrant yoke of
England around our necks, anil the in¬
dependence that our forefathers de¬
clared fot almost gone. Let every
patriotic American arise and declare
against English rule, last us be loyal
to our country: let us tight for its in¬
dependence as did out forefathers. Let
us strive to maintain that independence
with all the power that is within* us.
Let us ever hold it as a sacred heritage
and ne ver surrender its principles to any
nation.
Mr. B. A. Bass was found murdered
ou the streets of Atlanta one day
last week. The guilty party that kill¬
ed him has not been apprehended yet.
