WEEKLY a TIMES. J. A. FOCCHE, Editor. Entered at the post-office at McDonough Ga. f as second-class mail matter. McDoNouon. Ga., Oct. 7. 1892. I To the People of Henry County. Yesterday's result (over seventy thousand majority for the straight Democratic state ticket) shows the utter folly of trying to break up the Democratic party in Georgia. It simply can’t be done, and yet the Dem ocrats did not want to make this fight; they begged and tried to reason with our Third party friends We prepared ; fine bands of music and killed the fat- j ted calf and invited them back ; we : asked them to hear us in their mee.- ings, to give us a little time, but they would have none of this. You see the result. Yesterday's result will be the same or larger two, four, six, eight or a hundred years fiom now, because the American government is founded on Democratic principles; because the Democratic part is the party of the people, and the only party that guar antees equal rights to all and special privileges to none ; it is the party that grows larger and stronger as the peo ple become wiser and more intelligent. Now (as I said in a previous article) we are one people; our interests are in common; the Third party in Henry county are our friends and brothers ) and we love you all, and in the name of the Henry county Democracy I in vite you all back. Come back and all will be forgiven; come back and we will stand together as one man ; come back and we will educate and enlighten our colored brother and make him a good citizen and show him that it is to his interest to stand with his white friends, and together we will all work to build up our common country ; to promote each others interests, to put down crime and build up the kingdom of our Master on earth. “Behold how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity.” Tiios. D. Stewart. Mr. Lucius Maxwell Dead. We are called upon this week to j chronicle the death of another of Hen ry county’s old and respected citizens. On last Saturday moruing Mr. Lu cius Maxwell, after a short illness de parted this life at his home in Hamp ton. Although his death was not un expected, it has nevertheless thrown a pall of gloom over the homes in that quiet village, for he was respected by all, and loved by many. His remains were laid to rest, after appropriate funeral services last Sun day moruing, in the cemetery at Hamp ton. He leaves a wife and two grown children to mourn his loss. Mr. Maxwell was a member of the Baptist church, an old confederate sol dier, a good citizen, and will be sorely missed from his accustomed places. The Weekly extends its sincere condolence to the bereaved relatives and friends. A Good Woman Gone to Kcst. Miss Talitba E. Ammons, wife of Mr. W. B. Ammons, departed this life on Wednesday night 28th ult., af ter a long and painful illness ; and was interred at Turner’s church on Friday following. She was a sister of the late Allen W., and L. il. Turner, and leaves nu merous relatives and friends to mouin her loss. She was a member of the Methodist church from childhood, aud her Chris tian example and iutlueuce will linger around the homes aud hearts of those with whom she associated as long as life lasts. Our sympathies are extended to the bereaved husband aud children aud relatives in their bereavement. lion • 'l'liiK.

The Woods Were Afire With Democratic De votion,and the Wind Raised by the Third Party Fanned it into a Great Sweeping Wave of Victory that Reached from the Summit of the Blue Ridge to the Borders of the Great Swamp, and from the Placid Flowing Savnnah to the Rapid Rolling Chattahooche, Giv ing Georgia a Demo cratic Majority of Over 70,000. The election in the County. Victory ! Over 700 majority. “The world is ours, and the fullness thereof!” • flj The old “shawl-neck dunghill" of Democracy met the young “bantling of uncertain parentage” at the ballot box Wednesday, and—well you all know the bullance. Such exciting times liavo not been witnessed since “Old Tite" and Hilly Groves, away back in Sixty, with fife and kettle drum aided Capt. Til Flynt to arouse the fires of patriotism in the hearts of young Southerners, and cause them to enrole their names as volun teers. Flags, banners, martial straius from a brass band, and the w ild hurrahs of a determined populace could but iuspire and excite every one. “Blood will tell” and the pure old Democratic blood has flowed in the veins of the sons of old Ifeury county through too many generations to now be changed to adhereuts of some other political scheme, brought forth—we know not where, fathered by—wo know not whom. Before the sun’s first golden lauces had pi, reed the canopy of night, excited suff ragists eager to be first at the fray, ar rived at this precinct, and w hen the hour arrived for the polls to open the public square was laterally alive with voters. In one hour from the time the polls were opened oue hundred and fifty votes had been cast, and this lick was kept up until noon, hut few votes being deposited after that hour. With the exception of a few quarrels, which were pri rnptly “nipped in the bud,” everything passed off very pleasantly. The third party soon realized that they would he left woefully in the miuority aud with a few exceptions acquiesced gracefully. By four o'clock iu the afternoon nearly all of the negroes ha 1 returned to their li mes, aud all but about one hun dred whites, who remained to hear the glorious news as it was brought iu by ruuuers from the other districts. Mayor John T. Oglesby had pre viously made arrangements to receive telegrams from all over the state, and these were read by him as fast received, from the court house steps. Mel) n ough is proud of her handsome Mayor, and the Democrats of Henry should render him their thanks for the whole : soul mariner in which bn has been helping to hold the old banner “of the pure .Jeffersonian doctrine” aloft. We confidently expect to see him at no distant day occupying a postion as high in state politics as his unbounded de votion and ability commands At about nine o’clock in the fore noon, there teemed to be some w hat of a lull of excitement aud the loud hur rahs had ceased to a certain extent, when the ears of those near the court j house were greeted by the notes of “Dixie” as sounded forth by a biass band, aud away down Griffin street, amid the clouds of dust could be dis cerned flying banners, prancing horses, aud a line of vehicles fully a half mile in length. It was the Lowe’s district Democrats coming to the polls. In front was a banner bearing this inscrip tion. “Lowe’s Club; solid for Northen and Ileagau.” Next iu the procession was the band, in a wagon fitted up expressly for the occasion, aud then wagons, buggies, carriages, men on horseback and pe destrians that formed a column nearly a half mile iu length. As they were filing by. an enthusi astic Democrat shouted out: “I’ve been a leetle afraid old Grovet wouldn’t be elected, but, dog-my-cals, if we ain’t got enufl here to put him in of fice.” It was a grand day for Democracy, and a glorious victory. Democratic principles incorporate the eternal principles of right, and will stand when Stone mountain shall have crumbled iuto dust. The negroes voted the Democrat ic ticket nearly solidly. Every Democrat did his duty and did it as becomes a Democrat. Henry county, through her citizens, put the stamp of disapproval upon the Third party movement Wednesday in such a forcible manner as to bury the hopes of its most ardeut advocates. After the returns were in Wednes day evening speeches were made by lion. Edward J. Beagan, 11. C. Alex ander, 11. 11. Barham, Col. C. T. Zacli ry Mayor John T. Oglesby aud Col. G. W. Bryan.

Georgia eclipses the most glowiug expectation of the democracy ! The state goes democratic by 78,005 majority, and the remarkable story is on the lips of every one. It was a fit climax for the glorious work that has been done in Georgia, and the news will be read by every true democrat with intense satisfaction. Conservative democratic estimates had placed‘the majority at about 50,- 000, aud there were very few demo crats who predicted that much. It may be said that 40,000 majority was the average conservative estimate of that state, but the country will read with amazement that the democracy of Georgia has well nigh doubled that fig ure. 70,000 majority ! Thiuk of it! It is the biggest day’s work ever done by the Georgia democracy, for it Headache Usually results from a deranged stomach or a sluggish liver. In either case, an aperient is needed. Ayer's Fills, the mildest and most reliable cathartic In use, correct all Irregularities of the stomach, liver, and bowels, and, In a brief time, relieve the most distressing headache. These pills are highly recommended by the profession, and the demand for them is universal. “I have been afflicted, for years, with headache and Indigestion, and though I spent nearly a fortune In medicines, I never found any relief until I began to take Ayer's Fills. Six bottles of these Fills completely cured me.” Benjamin Harper, Plymouth, Montserrat, W. I. ‘•A long sufferer from headache, I was CURED BY two boxes of Ayer's Fills.” Emma Keyes, llubbardston, Mass. *'For|the cure of headache, Ayer's Cathartic Fills are the most efficient medicine I ever used.”—Robert K. James, Dorchester, Mass. “ For years I was subject to constipation and nervous headache, caused by derange ment of the liver. After taking various rem edies, I have become convinced that Ayer's Pills are the best. They uever fail to relieve my bilious attacks in a short time; and I am spre my system retains its tone longer after the use of these Fills, than has been the case with any other medicine I have tried.” H. 8.

Every Dose Effective. is really the firs? hard fight it has had since the war. it answers in ringing emphasis the third party and republicau effort to break the democratic columns of the south, and they had concentrated their full energy to knock out the corner stone, in the vote of Georgia Wedneday. 70,000 majority ! The world can read as it runs! This maguifficent figure stands as a trium phant emblem of a victoiy such as has never been won in the south before. It is a glorious message to send to the national democracy on the eve of its great battle, and it is an omen that the democratic lion is aroused and that [ he is ready for business in November. God bless the Georgia democracy ! It honors itself, it honors the state, and jitis an honor to the great party of | which it forms so magnificent a part. The news below speaks for itself. Let every democrat read it. Let them reflect on it, and let every one make up his mind that the real party of the peo j pie—the hope of the country —will do i as well in November. The figures given below are of | course not all official as the legal con solidation was not made until j’esterday at too late au hour for us to publish | s.-une.

Childrens Day Observed. On Sunday last the McDonough Baptist Sunday School celebrated the oue hundredth anniversary of modern missions as iuaugurated by William Carey on Oct. 2nd, 1792, The day was beautiful and the church was filled to its utmost capacity. The beautiful and instructive programme was almost faultlessly carried out. Everything, from the opeuing remarks by the Superintendent, Mr. J. B. Dick son, the excellent Centennial address by Mr. Edward Copeland, to the recita tion of the smallest child, was greatly enjoyed by all, and we are satisfied will be productive of much good. A large collection was raised by the Sunday school through this Centennial movement. This money is given as a thank offering unto the Lord, aud will be devoted to the building of houses of worship iu heathen lands, and iu the destitute parts of this country. The success of last Sunday’s pro gramme here was largely due to Dr. D. W. Scott as general mauager, and to Misses Sallie and Ida Lou Tomlinson as musical directors and instructors in elocution. >o w Try l'liU.

The farmer is only eti"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 huntin'. 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. R. Bivins, formerly of Hamotoo now ot Bartow, Flu., lie sacs: “1 have been here for a number of years, and know this to lie the most healthful climate in the world. People afflicted with all kinds of diseases come here, and our climate is a panacea for all thoii ills—they come sick and go away cured. ” Ihe same authority says a neighbor of his sold S7OO worth of strawberries 'from an acre. Another sold $450 worth of onions from %of an acre. And again a gentleman engaged in raising tomatoes sold SSOOO worth from 10 acres this s-is m, and has a con siderable number yet to sell. Mr. A. A. Sabers, agent of the (ia. So. A Fla. R. R„ in lormed us that last season a friend of his sold S7OOO worth of truck from 20 acres, and that.soree acres in pineapples brought SIOOOI Fellow sufferers, this beats raising (i cents cotton. Here vou work twelve months and barely “make buckle and tongue meet.” You work hard, live hard, and it’s a toot race between you and “Hard ’limes” to keep out of debt. Jn Florida your work is light and pleasant. In five months you have made your crops, sold them and have the monev in your pocket. Then you have the balance of the year to devote to pleasure or amuse ments—fishing, hunting, boating, etc. The Associated Railway Land Department of Florida is now making the unprecedented offer of 1 7,0011 acres ot the finest timbered lands (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 acre;* ‘a cash, balance In 1,2 and It years. This section is just now being opened up, and is what is known as the Manatee country. Thev are located from 7to 10 miles from the (lull of Mexico, and on Manatee river, a navigable stream. Taken altogether, it is one the finest bodies of laud 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 “50 to 1000 head of sleek, well bred cattle in one herd, and 150 to .>OO horses in a bunch. These lands are now coming prominently into the notice of southern farmers. They begin to recognise that they have slept over their rights, and ave let the shrewd, industrious Yankee go in and reap a golden harvest before'they knew a vu.it store of latent wealth was being mined bv these astute people. Being but recently commissioned by the laud company of Florida, I havo had time only to see 75 or 80 good Henry county farmers, who signify their determination to buv some ot these valuable lands. Let enough of Henry county people take this land at once, tor if we fail of this chance, it is the last to buy cheaply. Should a colony of Hen ry county people—say 150 or “90— buy these lands, as soon as the bargain is closed they will advance 100",,. And when they loer.te it will lie worth SSO per acre. There are enough valuable pine lands on il to pay for it twice. The same quality of land in Folk county near the railroads is worth from $“5 to SSO per acre. Lauds inferior to these in many respects, and iu po sense superior, in Southern California, are worth SSOO per acre The Florida lands have many advantages ovei Seuth.ru California.
