McDonough, Ga., March 13, 1896
One Convention.
The Dmnocratic excutive committee
has ordered that one convention be held
in Georgia by the party this year.
The resolution was adopted by a vote
of 22 to 11. The 25th day of June
was fixed as the time for the conven
tion and Macon the place. It was also
ordered that general primaries be held
in all the counties ou the first Saturday
in June to elect delegates, and that the
various county executive committees be
requested to consolidate other primary
action ou the same day, thus norniua
tiDg party canidates for the legislature
ami all couuty offices.
Now that a majority of the leaders
have spoken, all should come together
and work for the harmony and succoss
of the party.
It is announced that Judge John I.
Hall has resigned his position as Attor
ney General at Washington, to become
general attorney for the Georgia South
ern and Florida railroad.
.a receut telegram from Washington
announces that Stephenson and Gordon
may be the democratic emulates for
presideud aud vice president.
KHEKNIIEHA.
Little chickens are hatching aud
hawks are whetting their bills.
Mr. Levi Bledsoe and sister, Miss
Alary, visited relatives in this com
munity Saturday aud Sunday.
Mies Lilia Dickson, of McDonough,
is spending the week among relatives
and friends here, aud expresses her
self as being greatly delighted with her
visit to the state of Beersheba.
A good crowd was in attendance at
Mt. Bethel church Sunday. The pas
tor, Mr. Kendall, preached at the
regular hour, aud according to previous
announcement organized an Kpworth
league in the afternoon. The league
then elected the following officers:
President, Frank Graut; first, second
and third vice presidents, Oliver Joneß,
Mrs. Fannie Strong aud Miss Mary
M. Willingham, in the order named;
Secretary, Miss Lizzie Kooten; treas
urer, Miss Texie Austiu. In these
societies it is said that devotional,
charitable, literary aud social works
aie combined, and as this community
is largely composed of young people,
it is hoped that the league may grow
in numbers and usefulness and accom
plish much good. May its efforts in
that direction be well directed aud
crowned with great success.

Will Wynn has bad the measles and
cut oil his mustache, and the last state
of that man is worse than the first if
we are to judge from appearauce.
W. H. Bryan’s article last week ou
the the court house question was an
exhaustive one, bringing out about all
there really is iu it. Mr. Bryans ac
quilted himself well while he stuck to
the subject iu hand, but I was unable
to see what “Rural’s ghost” or lorn
Stewart’s “ifs” bad to do with the
court house questiou. Mr. Stewart
has no need for but one “if” concern
ing his election to the senate and that
one is not depeudeut ou human ageu
cies. There are Democrats euougli in
the district to elect him and "if” he
lives that is just what they arc going
to do, and when they have done it “if”
Mr. liryaus will call ou Senator Stew
art he will be received with the same
social and business like courtesy he
has always met with at Mr. Stewart’s
bauds, just the same as “if” be had
never been a Pop. '1 hat's the kiud of
“truck” Mr. Stewart is made oi and
that’s why the people are goiug to
honor him.
lion. O. L. Bartlett favored me
with a copy of his populi silverite
speech in the house of representatives,
the main substance of which 1 have
read a hundred times over in the At
lanta Constitution. Coin's Financial
School and other Populist literature.
The only distinguishing feature iu that
speech from the rest of its class is the
declaration, wheo forced from the
speaker, that he would vote for a
straight Democrat for president if the
majority of the party forced him to
the alternative of voting for its stan
dard bearer or going home to the
Populists, where his heart seems to
be. 1 think this is wrong. A man
ought not to march under an ensign
just to get to shoot the color bearer iu
the back.
Au open foe may prove a curse,
But a pretended friend is worse.

itev. John Kowe preached an able
Sermon at Ozias last Friday.
The rustic political genius of the
State of Beersheba says he would not
know a finance it he were to meet it in
the road, that accounts for bis beiug
■ a Cleveland democrat. It is a little
singular that the profound student ot
political economy, who knows so much
about the origin aud principles of par
ties, should have ueglected such an lin
portaut issue. About tne only argu
mem that the majority of the advocates
ot mouometalism can advance m defeuse
of their position, is that they dont know
any thing about it, and dont believe
anybody else does, except a low favored
mortals, who have beeu endowed with
special wisdom to enable them to peu
etrate the veil of mastery. They had
rather trust to the wisdom of Grower
aud the rest of the Wall street gang,
who have robbed the farmers auil la
borers, and whose purpose is to enslave
the masses, than lo reason and to the
teachings of humiii experience. Why
not have a king at once? If we did not
have taith in the wisdom of the uiajori
ty of the cornmou people we should re
uounce our allegiance to a republican
form of government.
When Uual says that socialism is the
father of populism aud that populism
and Anti Clevslaudistu are twin broth
ers, he simply places the majority of
the respectable, liberty loving demo ■
crate, not ouly of Henry couuty, but of
the entire South in the ranks ot social
ism.
“ The youth Populism,” so far from
being the offspring of socialism, is the
direct descendent of the democracy of
Jefferson, posessiug all the conserva
tism, integrity, and sterling worth of
his grandsire. aud it waß bis love fur
the sacred name democracy, and for
the principles of that noble ancestor,
that caused him to ruu away from his
sire, (the democracy of to day) who
had got to be such a drunken sot that
he could stay with him no longer, and
“set up business on his own hook ”
And while the “youth” blushes with
shame at the couduct of bis sire who
is still reeling over the eouutry de
bauching aud disgracing the name of
democarcy, be realizes that the old
mau is on his last legs, aud that his
maudlin career will soon be over; then
the “youth” who will have grown to
manhood, will lay bun to rest with all
the respect that is due him, and tender
ly drpw the veil of charity over the lo
mgs of his misguided life. Dennis.

awhile in quilting and singing. Some

Mr. Editor: My suggestions as to
who should till the offices iu our coun'y
seems to have completely uubalauced
oue Rural miud. He first poiuts out,
sectionalism, then iu the next breath
he smells populism, then he looks and
heboid lie spies secret organizations,
then behold he exclaims that a mau
living iu McDouough don't disfran
chise him and dually he declares that
a portiou of the cuunty officers were
raised in the country. I will state for
liural’s consolation that the citizens u!
Hampton are ouly asking for the small
offices. They are not trying to dis
franchise McDonough. Gentlemen,
Hampton is a progressive town and
believes iu advancement aud thinks
McDouough has bail these little of
fices long enough aud should aspire
for higher houorß, such us governor,
congressmen, etc; aud as it is Beer
sbeba’B time to furnish the president of
these United States, l will meutiou
Rural's name. As to the secret soci
eties I am glad to know that I belong
to three of them. 1 wish Rural could
say as much for himself. No politics
there Rural, and as for beiug hatched
in the incubator with populism 1 have
seen mauy good populists that I had as
soon be in an incubator with as to be in
oue with Rural. As to Hampton dis
trict Democracy she s'amis on her
own reco d, and as I said in my other
coinmunicathm 1 know old McDou
ough will give Hampton her undivided
support, for these clever officers now
in office in McDonough know that old
Hamptoudid her part for them With
‘.his explanation I hope Rural will get
a good night’s rest and feel better.
