THE PA in YOU! LOOK.
The outlook for the democratic
party in Gee rgia is not os encourag
ing as vve wo'ild like to see it. We
do not mean this to convey the Idea
that we entertain the slightest doubt
about it success in the coming elec
tions. Wo feel sure that in tbe state
and presidential elections, democracy
will triumph, and by a good majori
ty
What v.e regret, however, is that
ibere is a conflict ou between certain
f ictif ne of the party. This divi ion
imiaog the leaders has had a had ef -
feet on the people. Scores of them
oe disgusted, and if there is any
kind of a scramble, or liouble in the
platform of the party.democraey will
suffer. The party whoop aid the
party whip have both lost their pow
er, to a greut xteut.
The time has come for nnrty lead
ers to differ without their counter
'■barges of bribery and corrupti n.
If there is no honesty among the
lead* rs, the common people will have
nothing to do with tLem. We be
liev i it is a serious time for the deni
ed 11! io party, and the leaders might
as well recognize these facts in tbe
beginning of the campaigu. Much
will depend upon, their conduct in
the coming months.
BE SLOW TO MU UDELL
Wo do not know what to think of
men sometimes. Every day the pa
pieis are full of acc unis of dastardly
crimes. Sometimes in a cowardly
\vuy and then again in open combat,
men cut and shoot each other to
death. Scmetnues in the shadows of
night or again in broad open daylight,
men are assassinated by their fellow
men and,note nly in dividual*.but whole
families and frequently vs hole com
munities are left in distress and me
thus made to mourn the loss of the
bo*t men and the very best citizens.
Neaily always,too,these difficulties
and differences are the result of the
most trivial and common place mut
ters. Especially are they insignif
cant when comp>ared to life itself. It
dees scim that if -neu would
only stop and think, they would con
clude' that it would be far better to
make almost any sacrifice rather than
to be killed or to take the life of
Home i ne tlse.
To kill anothe r is a horrible thing.
Not long ago. we saw a man ds
! traded with ma luces ovurn (rival
I matter, deliberately shoot down and iu
I cold blood murder a fellow mail. Not
Iconteut with shooting him tothei |
ground the iufuria ed man stOi d*over
fie ti llow v.ctim and emptied the last
enntuber of the re vilvtr into thepoor,
htlpless man's body. And we said
then that to kill a billow man was a
most Horrible deed, li looks as if a
uinu could uot possibly d< libe-ra.elv
plau to do such a ihuig.
Last wu k iu our own community,
two brotliei s with pistolamt rifle* un
dertook to take in h others life. One
was seriously wounded, aud yet since
then the other has been seen walking
the public highways, with mauuers
und demeanor, as if he rejoiced m
the deed. self deteuso would uot
stem sufficient to ciuse pleasure
over such nu accomplishment.
All ibis is written to caution ineu
to avoid such trout le. It is better
to surrender rig l is of property ud
personal rights, than to sustain such
lights by murdering a neighbor or
being yourself murdered. Reasona
ble uh u should have no trouble to
adjust all their differences. They
can afford to make coucessicus one
to another. They cannot afford to
kill or be killed. Few transactions
in this world are worth a settlement

HILVEIt DOLLARS.
The free silver people have had
much to say aboyt the hostility of
the present democratic admiuioira
t.on to silver. Much is also said
about free coinage of silver prev ous
to 1873, wheu it is claimed that sii
ver was demonetized.
The fact remains however, that the
conditions now are not at all similar
iu regard to silver coinage as the
ci nditions were previous t* 1873.
Iu a recent answer to inquiry Sec
retary Carlisle shows that bom the
establishment of the mils in 1792 up
to Februaiy 1878, a period of 86
years, there wt re corned ouly $8,030,-
000. bo, comparatively speakiug
there wi tv n > silver dollars in circu
lation. Nov; then about $600,000,-
000. During the preseut much abus
ed admiuistiati u of President Cleve
land there have been corned 6.662,-
000, silver dollars, or nearly as many
as vveie coined in the hundred years
previous to 1878, to which period
tree silver advoiates refer so freely
to show the great advantage of free
silver coinage. *t’hc reasons and con
ditions of free coiuuge now are iu u <
leapt ot similar to those pnevious to
1873.

Gladness Corns
With a better understanding of the
transient nature of the many phys
ical ills which vanish before proper ef
forts —gentle efforts —pleasant efforts—
rightly directed. There is comfort in
the knowledge that so many forms of
sickness are not due to any actual dis
ease, but simply to a constipated condi
tion of the system, which the pleasant
family laxative, Syrup of Figs, prompt
ly removes. That is why it is the only
remedy with millions of families, and is
everywhere esteemed so highly by all
who value good health. Its beneficial
effects are due to the fact, that it is the
one remedy which promotes internal
cleanliness, without debilitating the
organs on which it acts. It is therefore
all important, in order to get its bene
ficial effects, to note when you pur
chase, that you have the genuine article,
which is manufactured by the California
Fig Syrup Cos. only-, and sold by all rep
utable druggists.
If in the enjoyment of good health,
and the system is regular, then laxa
tives or other remedies are not needed.
If afflicted with any actual disease, one
may be commended to the most skillful
physicians, but if in need of a laxative,
then one should have the best, and with
the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of
Figs stands highest and is most largely
used and gives most general satisfaction.
A FORGOTTEN HERO.
Instances of individual heroism
were iot lacking among the colored
races, both negro and Indian, during
the w ar of the colonies for ludepen
dence.
Ouc of the most noted among the
black men who fought against the
British was Austin Dabney, a
vouug mul* to living iu Pike County,
Georgia. Austiu was a free man, and
was kuown to the planters for his
subriltv and industry even when a
boy. He shouldered a musket and
jointd the army, working in the
trenches and lighting bravely during
three year-.
He was severely wounded iu a
skirmish in the winter cf 77, and
was carried into the house of a plant
er named Harris, where he was kind
ly cared for and nursed back to
healih. As soou ashecould walk he
joiued the army again and remained
until the sd of tne war, wh-n iu
recognition of his bravery a pend u
Was grai.t-d him by the guVt n.imut.
The Stale of Georgia also gave
him valuable laud. Dabney tilled it
so skilfully as to become a wealthy
man. He had neither wife nor chil
dren.
His benefactor. Harris, had died,
leaving a helpless family, end the
grateful negro gave ail of his means
and life to their service. He support
ed them as long as be lived, sending
the oldest boy to college and then io
law school.
When at the ena of three years
young Harris came up for examina

trembling with anxiety. When the
