WEEKLY i TI.MK\
J. A. TOUCHF, Editor.
Entered at the postoffice at McDonough
Ga., ns second-class mail matter.
McDonough. Ga., SurT. 30, 1892.
'l'urn out to the Poll*.
Before another issue, of The Week
ly shall be presented to the public the
election for Governor, state-house offi
cers, representative to the general as
sembly and state senator will be held.
The election occurs on Wednesday
of next week, October the 3th, and we
take this means of again calling the at
tention of the Democratic voters of
Henry county to the fact that they will,
undoubtedly have opposition—strong
opposition. It will be no one sided
election for these offices as it has been
for quite a number of years, but you
will have to try vour strength against
a new, though thoroughly organized
party, whose leaders have left no stone
unturned by which they can catch votes.
Bear in mind that the pai ty that gets
the most votes in the ballot box will be
the successful party. Then, Democrats,
you can’t afford to be luke warm ; np
and be doing, and when the day of
election rolls around go to the different
voting precincts and vote for those who
represent the party that has been the
souths bulwark and defense ever since
the dark days of reconstruction.
Even were there no question of prin
ciples or policy in this political contest,
the immeasurable superiority of the
Democratic ticket should rally to its
support a large majority not only in
Henry county, but throughout the
State—and this majority will be telling
if every Democrat does his full duty.
It is not simply victory that Democ
racy needs now, but a victory so com
plete that its influence will reach over
the national election in November and
give another victory that will throughly
crush out all division among Southern
people—for the menace which is over
us is plainly an attempt to divide Dem
ocracy. The accomplishment of this
end would surely engender continual
domestic turnoil, defeat the only real
political friend of the people, and per
petuate in power a centralized govern
ment viciously antagonistic to all the
best interests of the South.
Duty is plain—Democracy deserves
all.
Let every mar. with true Southern
blood in his veins turn out next Wed
nesday and do his best.
Political excitemeut is now at a high
ebb in these immediate precincts, and
the relative strength of Democracy aud
the Third party is furnishing an end
less fund of discussion. The candi
dates for county offices, as well as those
for state house, are out early and late
kissing babies, spinning yarns, and
adopting mauy other methods by
which to ingratiate themselves
to the voters, and cause them to give
consideration to their claims.
Let the Democracy of Henry county
stand firmly together. Stop and con
sider for a few moments what Democ
racy has done for you before you al
low yourself to be drawn away by the
glittering fallacies of any new or old
parties. Bally around the standard of
Democracy, and with the old Hag float
ing above you, fight beneath its folds,
come weal or woe, victory or defeat.
Every Democrat in this district that
possibly can should turn out to the
meeting of the McDonough Democratic
club to-morrow afternoon. If you are
not a member you should have your
name placed on the list at once.
The Henry County Weekly ol
McDonough is making great strides in
progressiveness. It appears in an all
“home print” from this week. Mr. A.
B. Johnson lia3 joined Editor Fouche
in his great work for McDonough and
his county and we feel sure that they
will succeed.—Lovejoy Picayune.
There is no use talking, neither Har
rison or Cleveland will be elected un

To-morrow Hon. B. M. Blackburn,
of l'ulton, will speak on the issues of j
the day at Stockdridge. Mr. Black-I
burn is a thoroughly posted, readv!
talker, a “simon pure” Democrat, and

attend.

Let every Democratic nominee on '
the ticket be supported with cheerful-1
ness and enthusiasm, and Third party- j
ism, the last hope of the Republicans,
will be effectually crushed.

A Card from lion. K. J. Reagan.
To the Democrats of Henry county:
As your standard bearer in the comiug
contest for Representative, 1 desire to
calf your attention to the importance of
the party going to the polls and cast
ing their vote on next Wednesday. The
election on that day is for Governor
and the State House officers’ Senator
and Representative. Besides several
important amendments to the Constitu
tion are to be voted upon ; and in or
der for the party to be successful it will
be necessary for the Democrats to
work for the ticket, and turn out and
vote.
I have made an address in every
district in the county and have, to the
best of my ability, upheld the princi
ples of Democracy, and we have the
fight whipped beyond all question, if
the party will do its duty on election
day. The people are with us in this
contest, aud victory is sure, if the Dem
ocrats go to the polls ami vote, but our
opponents are alert and vigilant aud
are working with all their might;
therefore let no Democrat stay at home
under the impression that his vote will
not he needed, but let every member
of the party vote, aud feel that it is his
duty to get every one else to vote that
he can.
Nothing now can defeat us but in
difference on election day. We have a
good large majority of the people of
the c junty in the Democratic party,
then let every man go to the polls on
next Wednesday and cast his vote for
the nominees of his party.
It is also important that every voter
should examine his ticket carefully aud
see if the names of all the Democratic
nominees are on it. The polls at all
the precincts, except at the court house,
will close at 3 o’clock in the afternoon,
therefore every Democrat should vote
as early in the day as possible.
Very Respectfully,
E. J. Reagan,
Gunter or Reagan?
Mr. Editor : In a few days the peo
ple will know whether it will be Gun
ter or Reagan for the Legislature. It
-hould lie remembered by all, that
whether it is Reagan or Gunter, that
the present method of democratic
electioneering is very unfair, and it
might be said disreptutable. There
have been many misstatements made
about Dr. Gunter which are entirely
without foundation in fact. It does
seem that fair play should suggest
truthful statements.
While what we are going to say
will iii no wise correct the evil, yet
it bhould at least receive passing no
tice.
We do not think that Mr. Reagan
would stoop so low as to garble the
record as was done in a recent circu
lar ; but if he knew it and permitted
it to to circulate then he is in a cer
tain sense blameworthy.
The measures criticised in the cir
cular were gotten up by some of Mr.
Reagan’s warmest friends and sup
porters and sent to Dr. Gunter for pass
age. And now since Dr. Guuter has
the courage of his convictions, aud de
clares himself opposed to the party
that lie was then acting with, those so
called friends turn and rend him
for doing what they requested him to
do.
Every one knows that Mr. Reagan
passed the seed cotton bill; for he
could not do otherwise when the land
lords made the demand on him, yet it
is a measure that acts harshly on the
tenants, white and black. Many a
poor man’s wife and children have
perliups gone barefooted till
mid-winter because ho could
not sell his remnant of seed cot
ton—all that he had after paying his
landlord. Will any one blame Mr.
Reagan for this ? It would be just as
lair t<*Hay that Mr. Beagan should not
represent Henry county in the Legis
islature because he is a railroad law
yer. What honest man can blame him
it he is a railroad lawyer ? What fair
minded man blames him for riding from
one eud of Georgia to the other on a
Central railroad pass? It would be un
fair for Mr. Reagan to say that lie
cause he draws a fine salary as a Cen
tral railroad lawyer that he would not
represent Henry county’s interest as well
as that of the Central railroad, while in
the Legislature. No fair minded man
will say that Dr. Gunter has not been
honest in the discharge of his legisla
tive duties. He has always shown
himself the friend of the laboring peo
ple, and we confidently expect to see a
clear exhibition of the fact by a rous
ing vote in his behalf.
Let mud slinging cease and vote for
the candidates ou their merits.

As every voter knows, the sth of
October, (next Wednesday) is election
day, and every true friend of Democra
cy should turn out aud vote for Col.
E. J. Reagan. It is important, fellow
citizens, that we look well as to who
manages our government. In the
democratic party we will have good
laws, as we have always had, so far as
in their power to give. All the bad laws
the people complain of being made by
the Republicans. Really, fellow citi
zens, this is a serious thing to consider,
for upon it depends our future pros
perity M v God ! can any true South
ern man vote against our interest by
putting corrupt men in office? Rea
gan has sh ,wn by his record that he is
a friend to the working class.
Now to the colored people. Col.
Reagan lias shown that Dr. Gunter
voted for a hill to disfranchise the poor
white people and darkies, not allowing
them to vote on the free school, in
which they are especially interested.
Think about this, then make up your
minds aud be sure to vote for Keag&n.
The Hampton Democratic club met
at their hall last Saturday evening and
was called to order by President Wil
son. A resolution was passed pledg
ing every member to do all in his pow
er to elect Reagan. It was agreed to
have a People’s party man to help
manage the election. Judge John D.
Stewart of Griffin, was to have address
ed the club, but failed to appear, which
disappointed everybody, for all know
John Stewart to love him. He made
us the best Congressman we have ever
had.
Col. Reagan made the club a fine
speech last Saturday night, to a large
crowd of as good Democrats as ever
lived. Everybody was well pleased,
and that means that Reagan will get a
large majority in Hampton district.
President Wilson introduced Col.
Reagan in a graceful manner and was
warmly cheered. It is an old adage,
that “United we stand, divided we
fall,” and every true man should re
member it and turn out next Wednes
day and voto for the regular democrat
ic nominee, as we have always done.
Go early and don’t be too late to vote.
Let every man turn out and get some
one to go with him, and give Reagan
700 majority at least. No true demo
crat should be too busy to look after
his candidate, for I tell you, fellow
citizens, we must not ueglect our duty,
but do all we can.
Messrs. Sam Coker, Mat Harrison,
J. D. Bowden and lira Barrett were
the guests of your scribe last Sunday.
We congratulate Editor Beadles upon
the way he got up the pictures of Rea
gan, Gunter and Chinn, lie is a true
democrat, and every candidate should
give him their announcements.
J. T. and Lum Fields are as much
interested in the election of Reagan as
any man in Henry county.
Rev. Hilliard Glass, a colored min
ister of the Sixth district, died last
week. Hilliard was a good democrat
and had many white friends. Every
colored man should follow his exam
ple.
Some of the darkies who voted in
the People’s party nomination 'have
been told that they can’t vote for Rea
gan. You can vote for him and should
by all means do it.
We were proud to see our old friend
Capt. Fife at the democratic club in
Hampton. Such good, old Christian
men as tie is should be a guide for ev
ery body to stick close to the grand old
democratic party. Old Guard.

'Commits Suicide.
Miss Krtniue C. Cotton, who has
been in charge of the millinery depart
mect of York store in Jack
sod, committed suicide at that place
last Sunday.
She boarded at the Morrison hotel,
and while the boarders were all at din
ner she entered the young men’s room,
got a pistol, retired to her room, and
placing it to her temple fired, the ball
passing entirely through her head.
She died in about twenty minutes.
The remains were carried through
McDonough Monday, en route for
Columbus, the home of her parents
A great many Henry county people
had become aeqainted with, and formed
a strong friendship for Miss Ermie dur
ing her stay in Jackson, and it is with
profound sorrow they learu of the rash
act that terminated the life of this win
some lady.
No cause could at first be assigned
that was sufficient to lead to the conou
ination of such a deed, but it is now re
ported that it’s the repetition of the old
story: disappointment in love. She
became enamared of a gentleman in
Jackson, but it seems that her affection
was not reciprocated. She left a short
note, but gave no reason for the act.

Ho ! for Florida— the Healthful, Sunny Land where Far
mers are now making from $250 to SIOOO per acre, rais
ing Vegetables and Fruits for northern and local markets.
Crops made in mid-winter, and the products sold at enormous prices. Lands make
Irom lot) to tour hundred bushels of tomatoes per acre, which sell at .ft to *0 per bushel
from 40(1 to 700 bushels of onions, which lining from $2 to $2.50 p. r bushel■ SIOOO nor
mre made on pineapples: S7OO on an acre of strawberries. The farmer is 01'iiv en-a'-ed
five months in the year making his crops—and those five months when the weather is
soft and balmy. For seven months he has the pleasure of fishing and hunt in- The
streams are teeming with the finest fish and the forests abound with all kinds of game
Quoting from a letter written to myself by Mr. D. If. Bivins, formerly of Hampton
now 01 Bartow, Fla., he says: “I have been here for a number of years, and know this
to lie the most healthful climate in trie world. People afflicted with all kinds of diseases
come here, and our climate is a panacea for all their ills— they come sick and "o away
cured. ” The same authority says a neighbor of his sold S7OO worth of strawberries from
an acre. Another sold s4.'iO worth of onions from of an acre And again a °vntlem ux
engaged in raising -tomatoes sold SSOOO worth from 10 acres this seis in, and has a con
siderable number yet to sell. Mr. A. A. Sutlers, agent of the Hi. So. & Fla. R. R. jn
tormed us that last season a friend of his sold S7OOO worth of truck from 00 acres and
that some acres in pineapples brought $1000!
Fellow sufferers, this heals raising 6 cents cotton. Here vou work twelve months
nnd barely “make buckle and tongue meet.” You work hard, live hard, and it’s a foot
race between you and “Hard Times” to keep out of debt. In Florida vo-ir work is light
and pleasant. In five months you have made your crops, sold them and Save the money
ill your pocket. Then you have the balance of the year to devote to pleasure or amuse
ments—fishing, hunting, boating, etc.
The Associated Railway I.pnd Department of Florida is now making the unprecedented
offer of 17,(10(1 seres ot the finest timbered lauds (will cut from 4000 to 5000 feet of lum
ber per acre; in one of the best counties in Florida, below the frost line, at $5 per aere ;»
'a < a /'- balance in 1, -2 and 3 years. This section is just now being opened up, and is
what is known as the Manatee country. The.-are located from 7to 10 miles from the
Gulf of Mexico, and on Manatee river, a navigable stream. Taken altogether, it is one
the finest bodies ol land in Florida, both for fruit growing and vegetable raising. As a
stock range it has no equal, growing grass luxuriantly the year round. It is no unfre
quent tiling to see from 250 to 1000 head of sleek, well iired cattle in one-herd, and 150
to 500 horses in a bunch. These lands are now coming prominently into the notice of
southern farmers. They begin to recognize that they have slept over their rights, and
live let the shrewd, industrious Yankee go in and reap a golden harvest before they
kniw a vast store of latent wealth was being mined bv these astute people.
Being but recently commissioned bv the land company of Florida, I have had time
only to see 75 or SO good Henry county farmers, who signify their determination to buv
some ol these valuable lands. Let enough of Henry county people take this land at
once, for if we fail of this chance, it is the last to buv cheaply.’ Should a colony of Hen
ry county people—say 150 or 200—buy these lands, as soon as the bargain is closed they
will advance 100%. And when they locr.te it will be worth SSO per acre. There are
enough valuable pine lands on it to pay for it twice. The same quality of land in Polk
county near the railroads is worth from $25 to $.40 per acre. Lands inferior to these in
many respects, and in no sense superior, in Southern California, are worth SSOO per acre.
Ihe Florida lands have many advantages over Southern California. Firstly, vegetables
ure gotten into market ti weeks earlier in Florida tit u< in Southern California Second
ly, the Ireight rates of California cat up the profits of the truck- firm r, havin'* ro ship
n " !es - The Florida truck farmer pays on . nominal freights, having both Tail and
water transportation. Thirdly, the Calitornia lands have *0 be irrigated, "bile those of
Florida are spriukled by nature’s water pot —ruin.
it will lie my pleasure to give any one desiring information relative to these lands
all the knowledge necessary to a proper understanding of where they are und their capa
bilities. I have a large number of Florida land map lolders, embracing a vast amount
of information relative ro the State, also one of the best maps of the State ever gotten
up for distribution. lam authorized to sell valuable lands in 30 different counties of
Florida. The tract above described lieing in my opinion the best bargain, I have men
tioned it more particularly. Call on in. NPIIER, Salesman

*The above lands were originally intended, as shown by the Lond Co’s schedule, to
soil for s.l per acre, but was printed $3 per acre, by an oversight of the printer, which
