McDoNoron. Ga., March 10, 1894.
It is said that the Oklahoma papers
now write it Psalm l’small.
Senator Gordon has introduced a bill
in the senate providing for a bonded
warehouse for Georgia.
Forest fires have been' raging for
several days near H<pzibah, and a
uumber of farms have been damaged.
The Bland bill has gotten through
the house and gone to the senate, where
its friends also confidently predict its
passage.
One by one the counties swing in line
for Atkinson and a progressive admin
istration of the affairs of the state. —
Macon Telegraph.
A baseball caused the temporary sus
pension of the weekly paper in I'ossil,
Ore. Its only compositor, while play
ing hall, broke his finger.
The term “administration heeler” is
an honor when applied by a newspaper
whose wolf in sheeps-clothing methods
have heaped upon it utter disgust.
The Dublin Post says that when the
Constitution said “boo !” it did not scare
Mr. Atkinson out of the race. It only
caused his speed to accelerate, and he
is getting there now in long jumps.
The Boston Herald makes the remark
that “the conservative Senators should
put their car down to the ground and
listen to the voice of the people. That
is more potent than the click of the
tickers from Wall street.”
Dublin Post: “Atkinson stock is go
ing up all over the State. The young
statesman is making a remarkable race
for one that ran up agaiust that mighty
‘uprising.’ It will be Governor At
kitißon.’’
The death of John S. Davidson,
Grand Master Mason of Georgia, at
Augusta last week removes perhaps the
most popular Mason in the State, and
is a source of genuine regret to the
fraternity.
Juries that are not equal to their
duties, or trifle with them, do not find
favor with Judge T. P. Westmoreland
of Atlanta. He discharged a panel for
the term the other day, for a verdict
that in his honor's judgment,- was direct
ly contrary to the evidence. It was a
good lesson, even if the verdict was not
a corrupt one.
It would seen) that there are no hard
times in Atlanta. Her plucky citizens
raised )f110,7. r )0 for her great exposi
tion a few days ago, before any can
vasing was done, lint then, Atlanta
pays no attention to hard times when
her grit and enterprise are at stake.
She started out to raise $200,000 for
her great exposition, and of course it
will be a brilliant success.
Morris Hays, of New York, comes
forward with a plan for the celebration
of the beginning of the twentieth cen
tury of the Christian era, to be held
in that city during the year 1900. His
plan contemplates all the features of
the Wor d’s Fair, and believes if right
support be given him, New York will
have an exposition in 1000 that will
far surpass anything of the kind that
has yet been conceived.
There** a lot of laud iu Colquitt
county over which there will probably
be a big legal squabble some day. A
letter wis received by Gen. l’hilip
Cook, Secretary of State, a few days
ago, asking some information about the
lot. Upon investigation he found that
there were eleven different persons
paying taxes on the lot. The records
6how that these eleven people have
paid the taxes on this lot from dB7G
dowu to 1893. S >me day it will be
decided to whom it belongs.
Some of the newspapers that are
championing the cause of General Ev
ans make rather injudicious selections
of argument agaiust Mr. Atkinson.
Oae of them is Mr. Atkinson’s vote in
the legislature opposing the acceptance
by the State of the Soldiers’ Home in
Atlaota, the argument being that this
vote showed hostility to the veterans.
and was contrary to the popular senti
ment. Well iuformed people know
that the proposition to accept the Home
never met with any considerable favor
in Georgia. Two successive L 'gtsla
tures, elected by the people, rejected
the proposition, a majority of the Geor
gia press has always opposed it, and
the strongest opposition has come from
the veteraus themselves. If Mr. At
kinson’s vote on the question was the
only issue in this campaign, he would
be elected by an over whelming major
itv.—Columbus Sun.

■■«(! If \
Though every patriotic citizen of this
country believes that we have the best
government in the world, no eulighten
ed man belives that it is perfect, or
doubts that it might be made better still
by the introduction of som • needed re
forms; hut no some men can be made
to believe that any government, politi
cal party, or individual, can be reform
ed or made better by abuse Who ever
knew a spoiled child, a reckless youth,
or a drunken man, reformed by abuse?
Constant abuse of the government,
and the party administering it, tends
rather mote toward revolution than re
form, and revolution is not always fol
lowed by reform, for it is not every
time a government is overthrown that
a better one is established in its
place.
Now, the Republican party, for poli
cy’s sake, cajoles and flatters the gov
ernment, while the Third party Bl in
ders and abuses it; and the Republican
party never will, and the Third party
never can, reform it.
So the only reasonable hope of o:>
tabling the needed refonns liis in the
good oh) Democratic party, which lias
always been the advocate and guardian
of the people’s rights, but n >twiilntand
ing all this, the Democratic party lias
always had enemies among the people
though perhaps t.one of them has evei
opposed it more bitte ly than its pres
ent ent mies, who are children brought
forth by a secret society convention,
and are direct descendeuts of the old
dead Know nothing and vanguished
Whig parties that died long ago, leav
ing no inheritance to their descendeuts
except an enmity against the I) mocrat
ic party.
So principle, policy and prejudice ate
the three pillars supporting the Demo
craiic, Republican and Third party
structures, respectively; and on the rel
ative strength of these three pillars
the future of this great Republic de
pends.
Fiom the days of Jefferson to 18(10
princi pie prevailed, and under Demo
cratic government the country grew
and prospered, and extended its terri
tory from the Atlantic to the Pacific,
hut through internal dissensions the
party divided and suffered defeat in
1 860, and the Republican party of pol
icy came into power, and ran things
pretty much its own way for a time,
probably much longer than : t would
if a majority of the Democratic party
had not tried to adopt the policy meth
ods of the enemy in 1868, nomii ating
Greely, a life long Republican us their
standard bearer, thus courting a dis
astrous defeat from which it took them
two decades to recover.
Then in 1888, when the leaders of
the Republican party saw defeat star
ing them in the face from the • persis
tent soliditly of southern Democracy,
and the growing strength of its allies
in the west and north, they set on foot
a new scheme to employ agents in the
agricultural sections of (he country to
spring new issues among the people
and advocate unconstitutional an 1 im
practicable measures under a new name;
not hopiug so much to make converts
to Republicanism as to divide the Dera
ocrats, and thereby perpetuate their
own rule for at least another genera
tion. But thanks Providence and
the intelligence of the American peo
ple, the scheme has so far worked as
disastrous to tiieir own as to the Dem
ocratic party, but the prejudice engen
dered among the people against their
leaders, their government, etc., still
lives. So Democratic principle, Re
publicau policy and Third party pro
judice are all alive iu the laud, each
striving for the mastery.
Which will win ? Certainly not the
party based on prejudice; but let us
hope it will not defeat the party of
principle and reinstate the old policy
party. Rural.

far as trying to give “Equal rights to

concerned, and about all the parties
claim tha', for that matter.

soon overtook him and together with trouble
with his liver,
He Was In Much Misery.
At last, almost discouraged, I decided to have

only a few bottles, and vet It has done him more
good than all the previous medical treatment
