TRULY DEMOCRATIC.
The rules and regulations adop
ted last week by the Democratic
Executive Committee of Pike coun
ty, for governing the primary to
he held June 5, certainly have the
old time democratic ring about
t hem and the committee deserves
the congratulations of the party,
whose representatives they are. It
is evident from even a casual study
of these rules that the party, and
not the candidates, control in this
county. The candidates us well
as the voters must pledge them
selves to support the democratic
nominees. It seems certain that
the coming Pike county primary
nomination will help the demo
cratic party.
APPRECIATED CONGRATULA
TIONS.
Jackson must congratulate Bar
tlesville upon the wonderful pluck
she has shown in recovering from
her recent troubles. Only a lew
months ago, all her banks and two
of her factories fell wit h a loud
crash financially, and hundreds
predicted that she could not sur
vive the overwhelming blow. Yet,
already, Barnesville’s pluck luis
reorganized and re-opened one of
the broken banks, and two new
banks have organized and opened.
She has started the wheels of both
the factories, all the depositors
and creditors, it is said, have been
settled with at 100 cents on the
dollar. And already she has on
foot the largest chautauqua of her
history for this summer. Truly,
Jackson congratulates her upon
her wonderful rejuvenation. W e
are proud of such neighbors.
Jackson Argus.
This Ims been a very unusual
winter and the weather has con
tinued cold and disagreeable.
The candidates are as busy as
the farmers and other business
men, for June sth. draweth near.
Thus far a fairly good fruit
crop is promised. If tin* crop is
a success it will mean much for
“Old Georgia.”
The courts are responsible for
t he large fees which usually defeat
the very ends of justice in receiv
ership and bankrupt cast's.
In our opinion either Kstill or
Guerry would make a bettor gov
ernor than Terrell. Terrell is a
clever man, hut is too much a pol
itician.
We want the readers of this pa
per to patronize first the business
men whose advertisements appear
from time to time in these col
umns. It will help them and you
and us.
It is now claimed that, the
Southern railway company has se
cured control of the L. & N. and
other properties, which makes it
the largest rail road system in the

Col. Berner asked for a fee of

indications it promises to be a

HOLDER TELLS OF
POTTS’ TELEGRAM
Some Interesting Information
For the People.
Mr. B. F. Jr., well
known to the people of Barnes
ville and Pike county, has written
the following letter to Hon. Du-
Pont Guerry in which he tells
what he knows about the Potts
telegram, about which so much
has been said lately. Mr. Holder’s
letter has added strength to Mr.
Guerry. We publish the letter in
full:
“Macon, Ga., April 0, 1902.
“Hon. DupontGuerry, Macon, Ga.
“Dear Sir: During the senato
rial campaign in the Twenty-sec
ond district of this state in 1900,
between Hon. Roland Ellis and
Hon. C. P. Steed, both of Bibb
county, I was a supporter of Mr.
Ellis. The Hon. R. L. Berner, of
Monroe county was a supporter of
Mr. Steed, I learned, on the
ground that Mr. Steed was a pro
hibitionist. I was at that time re
siding at Forsyth, and here learn
ed that Mr. T. J. Carling, of Ma
con, had in his posession a tele
gram signed by Mr. Frank M.
Potts, of Atlanta, to the effect
that in 189 G Mr. Berner surren
dered his views on the prohibition
question. I thought if 1 could
get posession of a copy of such
telegram I might be able to offset
any influence Mr. Berner might
exercise in behalf of Mr. Steed in
Monroe county. I came to Macon
in the spring of UKX), just, a few
weeks before the primary, which
was held in May, and called on
j Mr. Carling at the Lanier Hotel.
I had never seen Mr. Carling be
fore, but when I stated the object
of my visit, Mr. Carling very
readily told me that he had the
telegram referred to, and reaching
in his pocket took therefrom a
pocket-book in which he had the
telegram. He handed me the tel
egram and I then made a copy of
it, with Mr. Carling’s consent.
The copy now in my scrap book,
reads as follows:
Atlanta, Ga., August 10, 1890.
T. J. Carling, care Senatorial
Hall.
I am positively assured that
Berner will give no trouble to the I
Brewing or liquor interests of the
state. Is it not unwise policy to
delay his nomination longer?
Answer. (Signed)
Frank M. Potts.
Mr. Carling stated at the time
I obtained the copy referred to.
that there was no secret about the
matter and 1 did not handle it as
a secret.
With a copy of this telegram in
my pocket I took the first train
out of Macon to Atlanta. 1 called
on Mr. Potts at his place of busi
ness, and asked him what assur
ance he had in 1896 that Berner
would give no trouble to the liquor
interests of the state. He replied
that he had never had any such
assurance from Berner. I then
spread the telegram before him
and asked him how he explained
that.
After reading the copy of the
telegram I obtained from Mr.
Carling, Mr. Potts said that he
had never seen it before and that
he certainly did not sign it. I
again asked him how he accounted
for it and he said if I would see
Mr. Terrell that gentleman could
explain it, as he engineered the
scheme with Mr. Berner. Know
ing the close political and per
sonal relations between Mr. Ber
ner and Mr. Terrell, I did not
seek Mr. Terrell to ask him about
the matter. I supposed that Mr.
Potts would gladly furnish the in
formation 1 was seeking with ref
erence to the matter in view of
the fact that I was seeking it in
the interest of Mr. Ellis, whom I
was supporting and whom Mr.
Potts supported.
1 dislike to become a party to
this controversey, but I make the
foregoing statement in justice to
yourself , and you are at liberty to
use it in any manner you may see
tit. Yours very truly,
| “(Signed.) B. F. Hoi. her, Jr.,

HIS “CALL” WAS A “RAISE”
The Rev. Dr. Minot J. Savage
tells the following story, of which
he claims not to see the point, to il
lustrate the guilelessness of mem
bers of his profession. A clergy
man and a prosperous layman were
one day discussing the various as
pects of the minister’s occupation.
Finally the layman said a little bit
scornfully:
“The trouble with you parsons is
that you are not practical.”
“But I insist that that is exactly
what we are,” replied the clergyman
warmly.
“No, you’re not,” said the layman
firmly.
“Well, how- do you make that
out?” inquired the indignant par
son.
“Well, I’ll tell you. You had an
offer to go to Boston at a salary of
$5,000, didn’t you?”
“Yes.”
“And you’re getting $3,000 here ?”
“Well, what of that?”
“Nothing—except you said you
had a call, didn’t vou?”
“Yes.”
“Well, that wasn't a call at all.
It was a raise.” —New Y ork Trib
une.
The Hand Organ Trust.
“Talk about trusts,” said a Cin
cinnati business man to an Inquirer
representative, “the grind organ
.trust in this and other big cities
beats them all. I have taken the
trouble to inquire, and I find that
! the Italians pay $1 to $2 a day for
the use of the instruments on the
streets. Some of the men who han
dle the organ from place to place
work from fifteen to eighteen hours
a day. Each has a regular run and
knows-just where he can pick up the
: pennies and the nickels. If these
: organ grinders don’t pick up $1 a
i day, they must make good for the
! instrument. The syndicate which
j controls these hand organs is get
, ting rich fast, if the stories of those
who haul them around is to be be
lieved.”
