We learn that Mr. C. G. Moore is¬ sued a paper at this place last week called the “Advocate-Democrat.” We have endeavored to get a copy of the paper, but have failed. But in this connection we will say that Mr. Moore has no right to claim the name of the Advocate. We shall continue to pub¬ lish the Advocate and propose to jstill espouse and defend the principles of the People’s Party. Atkinson & Fluky.

These goods are the cheapest on the market. Or¬ ders solicited. J. A. Williams «5c, Co. Cvawfordville, Ga. Farmers are busy plowing, and if this weather continues long, they will soon be planting. “Tis an unusual thing for us to have pretty weather during court week, but wee j c jj. ls ij eeu au exception to the rule. Mr. W. E. Jeunings of Auniston, Ala., will locale and piactiee law in Craw ford ville so we learn.AVe are glad to have him and family with us.

From preseut indication it would seem that we will have no early vege¬ tables this year. Very little prepara¬ tion has been made, towards gardening so far. Mr. Bobt. Veazey who lives between Crawfordville and Powelton had the misfortune of losing his dwelling house and all the contents by fire last Tues¬ day night. It is thought the fire caught from the stove. We notice in several counties where the Superior Courts have recently con¬ vened that the subject of good roads have claimed their attention, and a recommendation made for the im¬ provement iu -th«- rou.d system, uvei the present system. On the 12th of March, the “Indiana,” a large battle ship of the United States, will be docked at Port Royal, S. C. The Port Royal & Augusta Railroad will offer excursion rates from Augusta to Port Royal and return on that dale. Everybody who can should avail them¬ selves of this opportunity to see the big ship. This is a mighty hoggish world. There are a lot of liberal-hearted people in it, but there are human hogs to de vour you. Tliey are au envious, back bitiug set. You have seen hogs run after another hog that had an ear of corn in its mouth, and squeal and light for the corn. Then if he loses it they pick up the ear and run off with it, and leave the other hog to lament over his loss. If a man has money, a large num¬ ber of people will run after him, flatter him, court him and try to get some of it. If misfortune or adversity over¬ takes him and he loses it. then these fawning sycophants leave him and talk about him as a failure. 7’liere are a number or mes willmg to help a man that needs no help, but if the poor fel¬ low stai-ts down bill, the track seems to be greased for the occasion and there are people who give him a kick to ac¬ celerate his speed.—Ex. CARR’S FATE UNDECIDED. Seems that the Legislature Must Meet and Pass a Law. It is the general opinion that Alex Carr will not hang on the 27th of next month, as ordered by Judge Clark a few weeks ago. The Governor will refer the case of Carr to the attorney general, and it is thought that he will advise that Carr be respited until the legislature meets, when some law can be passed govern¬ ing what shall be done in the case of the murderer who has been adjudged insane by four physicians. The attorney general says that there is no law governing such cases as Can’s the law drawn by the late Judge Clark not having been passed by the late leg¬ islature. it is thought that the next legislature will pass a law whereby can be disposed of in some way. The attorney general thinks that Carr cannot be sent to the asylum until a law regarding insane criminals has been passed. The attorney general will take up the matter aud consider it more fully when he gets through with the high court of Governor AUinson. SHARON DEPART •—J C. L. BAGBY, Editor.

Debs, in an inter¬ view with a Constitution reporter, seems to be rather at a loss as to what is best to do about the labor question. He does not seem to have any clear conception of the problem, except or¬ ganization. Now, tins noted man appears to , have undergone , some eitl changes in his views since thei strike at Chicago. On some phases of this question he talks very wisely, but when lie views it from another angle he , is . considerably .. tl confused .. . and . very wrong. He is correct when he says that legislation is unable to check the iujustice to the laborer, for no law can force men into right doing unless j they are honest from principle and Christian hearts. The man who lives for money alone is lit for slrategems, spoils and treasons. lie cannot be just, to say nothing of being merciful. Any corporation that bands itself to¬ gether for mere gain is, as a matter of necessity, blinded to the interests of its employees. There are very few men or combines, corporations or trusts that regard men for tlie love of them. All the interest they have in men is what they can make out of them, Now r , money is an absolute necessity for the commerce of the world and is a power for good when it is the servant aud not the master, but when it becomes the master of a man it is a curse aud the most tyrauuical of all rulers that govern men. No sane man would be so blinded as to see on¬ ly one side of the question and say that money in itself was wrong; hut of all the sins that dry up the milk of human kindness in man’s bosom, this is the most effective. It creates an appetite that it cannot satiate, a coveteousness it cannot cure, hut so dwarfs a man and blinds him that he cannot attain to any growth mentally, nor cun hi! see the rights of his brother. Now .ifcs Ol anything else—hence, love is banished. I do not wonder that labor desires to organize itself, for it has rights, and these rights ought to be respected, but the mere fact of organization will not obtain the rights sought for That only attempts to do from without, what ought to begin within. Capital should learn the same lesson and both will have to learn, before the question is ever settled, that each have their rights and are brothers. The one is dependent on the other, neither can do anything without mutual agree¬ ment, and until thc capitalist feels other than the interest that he has in a machine for his employe, and the laborer has other interest in his em¬ ployer than hjs pay, the present state of affairs will continue. Humani¬ ty seems to be left out of the question by the former, and bonds other than mercenary by the latter. There is no excuse for tramps in a country like this, with its acres of untilled land, no healthy man is ever driven to the ne¬ cessity of begging his bread. The question will be asked: “Where can these men obtain the small capital that is necessary lo begin with?” I answer by raising this question: Where did the men who settled this country, wrested from the red man and subdued its wild primeval growth to the production of plenty for themselves and their families ? They were poor and yet were not dismayed by the difficulties which they encountered nor rendered helpless by their poverty. The real poveity of the poor is theii lack of manhood, which deficiency causes the ills of which they can com plain. No amount of organization can supply this loss. For it does not lend strength to the individual, but the organization is only strong in pro portion to the individual strength of its members. When men permit selves lo be the machines of others it is their own fault. But the real cause of all the trouble is that men have for¬ gotten justice, mercy and love. With these kept in their lives, the troubles that now disturb both classes will ad¬ just themselves with equal rights to all Peace and a fair interest will reward the capitalist, and plenty and inde¬ pendence will repay the laborer. M. L. Troutman. The last bond issue of a hundred million dollars will cost the people, principal and interest, two hundred and sixteen million dollars, without a penny of advantage to show for the villainous transaction! It is continental highway robbery under the fornts of a shame less law. IT WILL BE BUILT. The Black Diamond Road to Tide Water.
