Entered nt the Poet Office at Barnoaville, Ga., as second class mail matter. APRIL 17, 1902. 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 | United States.

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.

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.
