DEMOCRATIC NOMINATION.
No more important work i* now be
fore the democrat* of this state than to
select the very best candidate* jswsible
for all the office* within the gift of the
|ieople.
Personal choice should be laid a*i«!e,
and those men should be selected who
can best carry the stamlanl of the party
Pi triumph am! victory.
We urge the democrat* in every local
ity not to run for office as a matter simply
of personal desire to obtain it, but to
hdp select the men who will most as
suredly unite the vote ot the democratic
party.
This is not only true as to the selec
tion of candidate* for office, hut also as
to the selection of presidential electors.
Delegates to the state convention
should not commit themselves to men
who simply desire to be electors this
year, hut wham the convention meets the
nxwt available men should be selected,
having in view their capacity to meet
and answer the argument* of the third
party candidate* in every part of the
state.
The presidential electors this year
should be men who will be ready to de
vote their time fioni the adjournment of
the convention until the November elec
tion to the constant work of education
ia behalf of the principle* of the
cntic party,—Atlanta Journal.

SmmI.
The splendid iron tug Inca, of Bruns
wick, left Ocean Fier, St. Simons Is
land at 2 o'clock on Friday morning of
last week, freighted with a party of ama
teur fisherman from Waycross accompan
ied by a few friends from Brunswick and
elsewhere.
For once the dignity of lawyers, physi
cians, merchant*, railroad men, newspap
er men composing the |»arty, got down to
the level of the occasion, and rollicking
songs were mingled with the water* of Og
lethorpe Bay, but oh, what aditferem
the morning. Some other feelings were
being inspired by the gentle roll of old
ocean. The song* and *h«>uts gradually
died away, and some other things more
material were seen to mingle with thesa-
line liquid of old Atlantic, but the misery
of some was the joy of other*, for when a
member approached the rail to look
down into the wave* whose awful depths
drew front the beholder groans of dis-
pair and the remain* of last night’s ban
quet, the.occasion was a signal for shouts
of encouragement and approval from
the uuappreciative and unsympathetic
beholder.
Well, we ran into Cumberland sound
at daylight and took almard a pilot whose
acquaintance with the bearings of the
snapper banks wa* supposed to be infalli
ble, and we were soon sounding for the
coral crests that mark the snappers’
feeding ground, twenty miles from land.
•Stop her! back her! put out the buoy
first were the command* given iu rapid
succewdon. but alas for our hope*! only
the tempting black fish responded to
most enticing offers of a morning
breakfast of dissected mullet, nearly 150
of these little creatures weighing from
to four pound* afforded an ample
supply tv dinner for the hungry crowd,
but not the size of the courted snapper.
However the party got its money’s worth
of fun and misery, and returned to <*ir
temporary abiding place, “Waycrow
Junior,” more thoughtfully than
wont, but without one sigh or regret that
we had participated in a trip that with
out whicn the experience of the amateur
fisherman is incomplete.
We are indebted to Capt. C. Dan and
the crew of the Inca for especial cour
tesies and attention*. Our party was
composed of the following named gen-
