County Politic*.
Doth the democrats and Populists of
Henry county having nominated can
didates for representative and county
officers, the campaign may be appropri
ately declared under headway in Henry
county.
This being true, every democrat in
the couuty should at ouce determine
definitely what his duty is, and then
proceed to discharge that duty. The
question in this race is simply whether
populistic views or democratic princi
ples shall prevail. No democrat
should, (uor doubtless will) hesitate or
entertain any doubt as to his decision
in what course to pursue.
The great end to be achieved in po
litical contests, local, state and nation
al, is needed legislative reforms and
such legislation as will bring about the
best results to all the people, as well as
maintenance of those sound govern
ment principles that have ever fostered
efforts in that direction. I'liis grand
achievement is the undying motto of
democracy, and those principles are
the ground rock of the democratic par-
ty. The nominees whom the demo
crats of this county have selected rep
resent those principles, and a vote for
them is a vote for such principles, hence
a vote for the demands of the people.
There will no doubt be injecttd into
the campaign much clap trap and many
unfounded, unsustainable assertions for
political effect; but these should find in
the ears ami hearts of democrats, as
well as others who desire the peace
and prosperity of the country, no
lodgement. Ou the contrary, all such
clap trap and unfounded assertions
should be mot by the solid facts that
back up the principles of democracy
and the democratic party.
We have no abuse, vituperation or
vilification for those who have left the
democratic party and aligned them
selves with the populists ; but we do
condemn the principles of their politi
cal creed which are undemocratic, and,
wo believe, centralistic and dangerous
in their tendency. Wo regard them
personally: as our friends, but believe
the great rank and file of them honest
ly mistaken in their political views, and
in the methods adopted to attaiu the
er.d sought.
Therefore we insist that all demo
crats, especially in Henry county, and
those who desire the accomplishment
of reforms sought, as also the prosperi
ty of our country and people, exert
themselves to maintain the true princi
pies of sound democracy, and work
diligently for the election of the demo
cratic nominees until the campaign shall
have ended on the third day of Octo
ber, 1894.
Shrinkage in Values.
Atlanta, Aug. 13. The indications
are that taxable values in Georgia will
shrink more than $25,000,000 this
year. The shrinkage last year was
$13,000,000. There are thirteen coun
ties to hear from yet, and the decrease
so far amounts to $13,000,000 —as
much as the entire decrease of last
\ ear.
The digests show that there have
beer, slight increases in eleven coun
ties. These are: Burke, $07,000:
Ivirly, $29,000; Baker, $8,000; Clay
t< n, $10,000; Lumpkin, SISOO ; Meri
wethet, $43,000 ; Mitchell, $14,000;
Monroe, $59,000; Taylor, $34,000;!
Walton, $953; and Wilcox, $7,000. j
The shrinkage in Muscogee amounts to
$1,026,000; that ol Glynn to $1,459,-
015, and in Richmond $809,000.
The tax returns f>r the state amount
ed last year to $410,044,573, and up
to this time they are $13,000,000 less.
It is highly probable that in conse- 1
quence of this shrinkage the tax rate
this year will be increased. It i» a no
ticeable fact that the shrinkages are
from counties having a large percentage
of city population. This would there
foro refute the claim that the farmers
ar growing poorer while the cities are
increasing their wealth.

The read, rs of this pajier will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in «11 its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure now known to
the medical fraternity. Catarrh being
a constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upou the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it falls to cure. Send for

John Amis and several other promi
nent Watsonites of this section attended
their recent convention in McDonough,
which met presumably for the purpose
of affecting a more thorough organiza

complished with credit to themselves
and no very great discredit to the col
oring and odorizing material used.
There is a sort of general injunction
against the occupants of glass houses

Since the recent Waterloo defeats of
the third party in Oregon and Alubatna
it set ms that my estimate of 90,000
Democratic majority fur Georgia is
rather low, hut 1 will still be satisfied
with it, as it will lie a gain of 19,000
since 1892, which 1 think will about
equal the number of good men in the
third party, and then we can better af
ford to combat the anti government
element of that party outside than in
side the Democratic party.

THIS REMAIN OIK RIB.
Kxliiliitsd in Mouroe, X. C., suit Con
way, S. C.
Mr. .1. A. \\ alker, of i !aiuptOii, it,
agent in Henry, Clayton and Fayette
counties for the above invention, which
is claimed to be one of the most won
derful ever seen.
hor the benefit of tho-e interested,
we clip the following from the Horry
I lerald, of South Carolina, giving a
clear idea of i's merits :
“Wednesday afternoon Messrs. I).
C. McCall and A. L. CYtrrell of Dar
lington, S. C., and George Lemain, of
liygganum, Conn., gave an exhibition
at Shute’s Gin, in Monroe, of the “Le
main Patent Gin liib.”
Every gin owner knows that when
the ribs are worn (and they become
very much worn in a few years) the
ginning capacity of the machine is very
much damaged, that is the seeds are
not cleanly picked, nor is the lint near
so good. So long as the ribs are new
and not worn the lint is cleaned and
thoroughly ginned. Now by the use
of the Lemain Ilib a man may practi
cally have new ribs in his gin all the
time, Bince the rib can be repair-id
without stopping the machinery and at
a cost almost too trifling to mention.
The test was made in presence of the
following well known gentlemen,
Messrs. J. M. Fairley, J. B. McCann,
cotton buyers ;J. 11 Lee, W. C. Og
burn, merchants ; James Sliute, gin
ner ;T. B. Willis, machinist; J, W.
Ashcraft, town marshal ; Mayor J. W.
Stephenson, T. D. Kemp and others,
all of whom agreed, after the test, that
the rib was everything that was claimed
for it.
The ribs were put on one of the
Gullett gins of Mr. tSliute, that their
complete work Anight be shown Be
fore starting Mr. Lemain stated clear
ly what be claimed for his invention,
namely : that in repairing any gin 80
per cent, could be saved by the use of
his ribs over any other. Also to make
a better sample of lint and to clean the
seed better than could be done by a
worn rib. And furthermore he said
that any gin owner could reuew an en
tire sot of r ; bs in fifteen minutes, and
that the removal of a rib was so simple
aud easily done that the gin would not
have to be stopped in order to make
the removal.
After making this claim Mr. Lemain
fully justified it by ginning 1 00 pounds
of cotton, replacing twelve ribs, with
out stopping the machinery, and in
exactly eleven minutes
The great advantage of this rib is
that when a gin is fitted with them the
whole set may be repaired as often as
is desired at a trifling cost.
Mr. Lemain left last night for Con
way, S. C., where he will make anotli
er test of his appliance, before he re
turns to Conn.
THE TEST AT CONWAY.
Fully Satisfactory.
On the 28, iust. Mr. Lemain, of
Conn., made a test of his Gin Rib here,
several gentlemen being invited to wit
ness it viz : Mr. F. G. Burroughs, of
the firm of Burroughs A. Collins, the
largest merchants and cottou buyers of
this section ; llenrv Hardee, proprietor
of the Commercial Hotel ; J. L. Do
zier, giuner; Ralph Dozier and the
editor of this paper.
Mr. Letnain fully substantiated every
claim fot his invention, to the satisfac
tion of all present. lie demonstrated
the manned of repairing, by reuewing
six ribs inside of live minutes, without
stopping the machinery. Showing
that any twelve year old boy could
make the uecessary repairs as readilv
as a skilled mechanic. The great sav
ing in lint, cleaning the seed thorough
ly, will commend itself to all ginneis
throughout the South and prove a bo
nan7.a to the inveutor as well as a great
boon to cotton growers Mr. Bur
roughs was well pleastd at the test
made and gave orders at once for
enough libs for all of his gins. The
set of ribs used here were put on by
Messrs. W. II Howell A J L Dozier,
who had done nothing of the kind be
fore.
Messrs. FJlerbe & Howell, of Con
way, S C., are owners of the patent
for the State of Georgia. Any one
wishing ribs, or information concerning
them will write to them at Conway.

COTTON SEASON OPENS.
■m —
First Buies liefA Reported From
houllieru (irorgis.
Amir icon,
for ilie honor of placing the fust hale
of cotton on the market has res- Ived
itself into a lively controversy. Ainer- j
icus, Dawson and Montezuma are
claiming first place, with Hawkinsville
and Fort Gaines cl sely, following.
Since the death of I’iimus Jones,
the first bale man, who was undisputed
owner of the honor for years, the first
bales have not conn; iu as early as they
did formerly. He generally had bis
first bale in about July 23d and was
followed some ten days later by others.
Now, August sth is very early for the
first report of a new hale. August 6ih
is the date of this year’s first receip',
and Dawson claims it.
HAWKINBVILI.F. REPORTS.
Hawk’nsville, August 13. Haw
kiusville received her first bale of cot
ton on Saturday. It was brought iu
by a negro and sold for ten cents.
i lawkiusville is making extensive
preparations for the exposition to be
held here in October and expects a
laige attendance from the surrounding
counties. The fair promises to be an
unusually good one, and will do the
town much go< d.
p v WSON CLAIMS IT.
Dawson, August 13.—Both Ameri
cus and Montezuma are claiming the
first bale of new cotton in Georgia.
That is a mistake. Dawson received
the first bale on August 6, and last
year Dawson received the first bale on
August 4. No one can find a record
of one before these dates.
POUT GAINKS REPORTS.
Fort Gaines, August 13 —The first
new bale of Cotton was received iu
Fort Gaines Saturday. It weighed 428
pounds.

Politics a little more quiet in this
section. There are fewer candidates,
and now we farmers can work all day
without being molested. But the wa
ters will be troubled in the early fall
as there is two very popular candidates
for Representative, aud we hope that
there will he a quiet and honest cam
paign and election.
We are pers nally acquainted with
Rev. Harrison Jones, and know him to
be an honorable gentleman, upright and
honest in every respect, and there is
no better representative mau in Henry
county. He has ben with the reform
movement from its infancy, aud will
always he found battling for right and
