Now Is the Time
Tor our democratic people to unite
and “get in the game.” We speak in
a political sense, of course, and would
urge the importance, upon each and
everyone of them, of laying aside their
likes and dislikes, and with sleeves up
rolled, getting into the fight now being
waged for white supremacy in the
south, and for the principles of a gov
ernment for, by and of ilie real people.
'The issues of twenty years ago are
alive to day, and the opposing forces
are just as potent, as alert, as insidious
and as seductive as theD, and to us
the dangers from republican rule are
just as great. True, there are other
issues, possibly created by the enemy
for the very purpose of arousing dis
order and dissatisfaction in our ranks,
hut democratic rule and white suprem
acy are paramount to everything else
with us; and it is useless to deny that
they can only ho made certain by h
united democracy.
The county, State and national tick
ets have been settled upon to lead—
now let all play fairly and honestly,
and accept the platforms promulgated,
with the nominees named, just as
though all of them were our individual
selection or creation. Here is one of
the very foundation principles of de
mocracy, to tho adheraDce of which
there are none more important.
fto sake—“get
in the game"—and keep the old hau
lier of democracy, the great insignia of
freedom, proudly waving over the best
county in the best state in the union.
Do this—and all is well.
Crops Badly Damaged.
The segular weekly crop bulletin was
issued Tuseday from the weather bu
reau. It shows that the reports of the
damage to cotton hv heat and drought
have not been exaggerated and that the
shedding has been enormous during the
past seven days. Offier crops have
also suffered very much from the un
favorable weatlur conditions. The
bulletin is as follows;
“Excessive sunshine, abuormally
hi*»h temperature and little raiu have
been the characteristic features during
the past week. Similar conditions
have prevailed throughout the state for
several weeks, and as a result all crops
are in a most unsatisfactory state.
The cotton crop, which looked must
encouraging a few weeks ago, has
beeu cut considerably short of the av
erage. The bolls are opeuiug prema
turely and dropping rapidly. Hust
has increased materia'ly and at present
the outlook is very discouraging to the
planter. Picking is uow becoming
geueral ever the state, and some cotton
has been giuued and marketed.
While early corn was well advauced
before the present drouth set in, late
corn is suffering disastrously and will
£>e ruined if no rain falls shortly.
Pastures are failing rapidly, stock
water is scarce in some localities, and
stock as a consequence are losing flesh
perceptibly.
Prom existing conditions over the
northern half of the United States it is
reasonable to presume that the pro
tracted hot and dry spell is about brok
eu aud that some relief, though pioba
bly but temporary, may be expected
during the next day or two.
Gen. Jobn B. Gordon says: “I will
n >t, under any circumstances, accept a
nomination for any public office from
anybody. When my term as Uuited
Stales Senator expires next March 1
intend to retire from public life for
good aud all. I deem it my duty to
vote for the nominees of my party. 1
have been asked to take the stump in
Georgia for Bryan and Sewall, aud I
may ruik a few speeches in their be
half. After all, the free coinage of sil
ver may not prove as disastrous as we
golbugs now believe it will. I know
lirvau iutimately , and 1 consider him
a well balanced, honest, upright man.”

There is only *ne way to euie deaf

remedies. Deafness is caused by an
infl mned condition of the mucous lin

this tube is inflamed you have a rum

when it is entirely closed. Deafness
is tiie result, and unless the inflamma
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its moms! condition, hear

which is nothing but an inflamed con

I shall not waste time telling the
public how I got in the race. lam in

opposed to bai-rooms aud intoxicating
liquors. Ah says some one, yes, aud
you will make yourself more unpopu

we can’t help it.
'There is one thing we do know, and
that is if we go down iu the eyes o!

Now gentlemen, we want the office
lor the mouey that’s iu it. YV'e haven't
got money to buy the office. It we
did have we would keep the money
aud do without the office.
Now we don’t think it's right to buy
office, aud whatever is uot light is
wrong. 1 could borrow the mouey to
buy votes with, hut I shall uot do it,
aud 1 further state that 1 dou t want
any of my friends to buy any votes lor

Now gentlemen, my lime is my mou

may rest assured that I will appreciate
your support just the same.
Now geutlemoti, all we ask is that

Now you Christians, just act Christ
like, (for that's the meaning ol Christ

We ask iu the uarne ot all that’s
good, will we as Christians do less to
purify the ballot box aud build up good
morals, than the non-professor.
Now gentlemen, if elected I promise
to do my utmost to serve the people,
and uot simply tho party.
Now we have said our say, aud it’s

one says you had better uot said it.
Well we say people will talk ami we
