MKA'IN.
Our attention has been called to a
fact by, an article in the Monroe Ad
vertiser, that has been over looked, we
have no doubt, by a great many voters.
And that is that at the October election
four constitutional amendments will be
submitted to them for ratification.
The first of these amendments
provides for annual sessions of the leg
islature. This is an important matter
and one that should be considered well
by the voters before acting on it. If
the people want the legislature to con
vene each year, then they should vote
“Ratification” on this question. If
they oppose yearly sessions of the leg
islature they should vote “against rat
tification” on this question.
The second amendment submitted
provides that no session of the legisla
ture shall continue longer than fifty
days, except an impeachment trial be
pending at the close of the fifty days,
in which case the session may be pro
longed to the close of said trial- This
amendment perhaps contemplates the
ratification of the first amendment
though it does not say so. In the event
this amendment bo ratified by the peo
pie and the first amendment is not rat
ified, then the sessions of our lagislature
would be biennial and restricted strict
ly to fifty days. We call attention to
these proposed amedment in order that
our voters in Henry county may con
sider them and be prepared to vote in
telligently upon them.
The third amendment provides for
first and second reading of local and
railroad and bank charters by title
only.
The fourth amendment provides that
all charters of banks, insurance, railroad,
canal, navigation, express and telegraph
computus shall- be issued and gv.„.io,i
only by the secretary of state
Gen. Weaver and Mrs. Lease are
now in Georgia.

If you are a Democrat vote the
straight Democratic ticket without a
waver.
The cholera scare in New \ ork
created almost a panic last week.
The excitement seems to be some what
abated.
A Kausas newspaper man wrote a
communication to a rival editor calling
him an ass. and then signed it “Yours
fraternally."
A medical journal tells “how to lie
when asleep ” If it will keep some
people from lying when awake it will
do public service.
Senator David B. Hill, of New
York, opened the national democratic
campaign with a rousing speech in
Brooklyn, Monday night.
Tammany’s tigers held a great meet
ing iu New York the other day and
showed much enthusiasm for Cleve
land. They say New York shall go
for him.
Gov. Fallback, of Arkansas, the
democratic candidate, was elected by a
majority of 20,000, over both the re
publican and third party candidates,
at the recent election in that state.
Do not sit down and whine because
you have not what you waut iu this

world is all before you. There is as
much room in it for you as for anybody
else, aud as good place.
Sam Small has returned to Atlanta, j
and says he is going into the congres
sional race in the Fifth ar.d make
things liy-ely. When the returns are

There are now five presidential
tickets in the field : Democratic,
Cleveland aud Stevenson ; Republi

Piles of people have piles, but De
Witt’s Witch Hszel Salve will cure

VVe Are Democratic.
The Week i. V is Democratic and
shall remain so as long as it is under
the present management, unless it's
editor should discover some ciuse over
reaching anything presented in the
past to bring about a change in his
views.
The Democratic party is undoubted
ly the party of the people, and it’s
platform is framed in “jus!ice, wisdom,
and moderation.” We admit that
there are clauses in the Democratic plat
form that do not exactly coincide with
our views relative to the interest of
this immediate section, still, when we
take Into consideration the vastness of
the Union, and the different sections
that comprise it, and how the interest
of the people of one section
varies so materially from the
interests of another, we readily
perceive that the framers of the plat
form have looked to the general wel
fare of the nation, and the pr inciples
they endorse comprise what is best
suited to our country as a whole.
Believing, therefore, that our section,
as well as the entire Union, can but
be benefitted by seeing the principles
of Democracy carried into effect we
would he untrue to ourselves, and uu
worthy of the name of a citizen of the
United States, if we failed to adopt
them as our principles, and use our
every endeavor to see the party in
power that will carry these measures
into effect.
We clip the paragraph below from
the Monroe Advertiser. It but voices
our sentiments. Would that the far
mers of old Henry would but act on
the advice it contains :
We want to see every Monroe coun
ty farmer’s ham, bins and larder,
bountifully filled with corn, wheat,
oats, fodder, peas, lard and meat pro
duced from the soil of Monroe county.
Because if we see this, we are satisfied
that we will see the flag of peace, qui
et contentment, happiness and indepen
dence floating above every home in the
county. Would not such a condition
be a foretaste of the promised mil
lenuiura? Then the braying of the ass,
the ba*-k of the dog, the bleating of
die sheep, and the grunt of the hog,
would have music in them.
Producing cotton, brother, at the
rata of four acres to the bale and sell
ing it at 0 1-2 or 7 cent* will never
bring this state of affairs in this coun
try.
The L misville Courior Journal
says : “The democratic party is, above
everything else, a people’s party.
Logically and historically, it is the
people’s party. From the beginning
of the government until now it has
fought for the rights of the many and
against the aggressions of the few.”
Here is a straw that shows which
way the wind is blowing : In 1888 Mr.
Cleveland tUa voioo of eighteen
states, that steadily voted Demo
cratic ever since. At the same elec
tion Mr. Harrison received the electo
ral vote of 20 states, and since then
11 of those have been carried by demo
crats.
We send out with this issue the
speech of lion. W. Y. Atkinson deliv
ered recently at Canton, Ga. Our rea
ders will no doubt find it entertaining
and instructive, as it deals with the
political questions at issue now. Head
it carefully, it will do you good, wheth
er you be a Republican, Populist, or
Democrat.
The various Democratic clubs over
the county continue to “whoop things"
up.

Dear U eeki y and 1 i.iEa :
This is a d w vui able Iji m dilation
a bad rainy day, ait.h ilaik, lowering
clouds and prospects not very bright .
and I suppose most people are think
ing about how near they can make ends
meet and what they will do with the
ends that will not meet ; hut then w
should be diet rful and hopeful, for we
have good health, fair crops ami hope
comes in with good times in the uear
future.
Mr. and Mrs. Joshua McKibben
have a little girl barely two years old
who has been sick of fever lor a long
time, and although treated and nursed
with all > kill and care don’t seem to
improve.
Our friend, M. G. Boud has the
mammoth pea vines of the land, lie
pulled up one vine whose limbs and
fruit made a fair feet! for a large horse.
They should be called the Stephenson
pea and Math ought to be a great
Democrat.
I see, Mr. Editor, from the long
card of our good friend Dr. Guutai
that he is a little “techy and if then
has been any falsehoods or misrepre
sentations of any kind in the past that
there will not be any more : hut wi
must, say that it seems late in the day
for the Dr. to % off and arraign tin
Democratic party for its short coming!-
and luisdnings for the last three years,
when it has been during these three
years that he has made most of political
record that he has ; and I can’t set
why he couldn’t have gone hack ol
three years and it would have been the
same ; and he did all this as a Demo
crat and in the Democratic party
Now if the Democratic party (his
party) was so inefficient or corrupt all
this time why didn’t he tell us so, he
was a leader, and aspiring to lead, and
if the party was not doing its duty lie
ought to have sounded the alarm and
told us so; but the first word of dissat
isfaction that we heard from him was
after the first mass meeting of the
I’eople’s party held iu McDonough ; it
was then that he and the People’s pat
ty began to kiss each other The wise
man says: “thine own friend and thy
father’s friend forsake no'.” and the
Democrats have been the best ftiend
you have ever had or will have and you
had better stayed with and helped to
lead her out of her wilderness of sin,
especially right on the day of the great
battle she has to fight. Anil Dr.
G tells us further that there is
room in Georgia and Henry county for
two parties, there has been two pirties
here all the while. It looks like the
Dr. has forgotten that there was such a
thing as the Republican party, and that
accounts better tban anything else for
tils position at present. Don’t forget
this any more. Mr. Editor, why is it
that all the Third party men say they
stand on Democratic principles. We
hear them say they stand on the Peo
ple’s party platform—some on the
Omaha, some on St. Louis, etc., hut
when they speak of principles they say
they are on the Democratic. Now I
tell you, Democratic principles are in
spiring and moving the great l)emo
c’atic party, and are fou..d no where
else; and when a man leaves the party
and goes off some where else and says
'lie is on Democratic principles, he is
is mistaken, while if he is outside
and inhales a few breaths of the atmos
phere he will soon find himself in the
party. Is there anything like Democ
racy in the < hnalia platform ? Those
fellows that got that up wouldn’t have
kuown what it was if they had met it
in the road. We must refer to Dr.
G s card again ; he says to his
friend* that he is true and firm. That’s
all right, and 1 am glad he did not ad
vise them to vote for Weaver. Mr.
Sibley who is a nice man and makes a
good impression, and with whom we
sympathize, and who I hope will soon
get out of this great trouble, spent bis
time on the first Tuesday in trying to
show a similarity between Democrats
and Republicans by their name (but
ought to have shown what the Peo
ple’s party was by theirs) and that
there was some excuse for the Third
party, hut be it said to his credit he
didu’t advise them to vote for Weaver.
How can a man anywhere in the south
do that ? more especially in Georgia,
and in Henry county ? What would he
thiuk of himself afterwards. What
would he tell his folks when he went
home ? He ought to tell them to lets
move; this is no place for us. I’ve
voter! for Weaver. I expects the old
fellow is stopping now every little hit
wishing we were a million miles deep
in a dark hot place.”
Whatever we do or fail to do let us
not da that. It seems to me we could
never like ourselves anv more.

Some folks declare that a man’s

people, and if it is not worth asking for
it is not worth having. 1 asked and
failed to get, hut am not mad with any
one for not voting for me, and 1 don’t
think any the less of Reagan for run
ning against me. It dou’t remain
because a man wants the office that you
hold von and ho cannot continue pers
oual friends, for in my race some ol
my best friends voted against me,
friends that would do me a personal
favor before they would Reagan. Now
1 want all my friends to slick squarely
to Reagan, for he is my frieud, aud vot

had I been nominated. Now, fellow

a good government by the people.
What in the name of common sense
does people want to fall out with their
neighbors about politicks for, especially
about such men as Weaver and Wat
