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 Graveyards The graveyard of failure is full of monuments erected over the blasted hopes if mm who bad abilil v,euf rg\ and determination to sell goods, but had not the right kmd to sell.

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. . -p. 1 FOR TUB 9® SKIN A w arm shampoo with Cuticura Soap, and a single application of Cuticura (ointment), the great Skin Cure, clear the scalp and hair of crusts, scales, and dand ruff allav itching, soothe irritation, stim ulate the hair follicles, and nourish the roots, thus producing Luxuriant Hair, with a clean, wholesome scalp.

They shc ui'd be ostraeistd as tliev are disgraced. 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 tion, Dabney stood in the court-room trembling with anxiety.
