Except to endeavor to act as mediator between the two factions of the democratic party before they became irrevocably sundered, we have |had no more pretentions desire in matters poli tical than to see maintained the honor and glory of the Empire state of the sooth. She is now, and threatens to be still further, torn by contending parties with the unfortunate and always re lentless element of the fratracidal war. The state election has engendered bit terness enough to tarn into gall half the milk of human kindness in the state.

He stood c streets in DeFuniak Springs on Sunday morning and said that Kolb was elected in Alabama by 60,000 majority. That’s a whop|»er for Sunday morning, isn't it? —OeFuniak Signal. The Atlanta Journal in giving a sketch of Mr. Thaddeus K. Horton, its reporter who first stepped into fame from t(je little right-hand private box of the Way- cross Opera House, says “the chief char acteristic of the man is modesty.” O my! that will send a smile all over Oeor- gU. We see it stated that this year's cotton crop falls short of the crop of ’91 by 1,000,000 bales. This is due partly to the unfavorable season, but largely to the fact that our southern planters have at last been brought to a realization of the fart that their only safety lies in di versified crops. The already slight in crease in the price of cotton caused by the short crop, is not sufficient to revive any hopes of the good old cotton days coming back. ('OL. L. A. WILSON ELECTED. Ware county went to the polls on Wednesday, the 5tli of October, and elected to represent her in the state legis lature, her temperance candidate, (5)1. I* A. Wilson, of Way cross. It is true that, incidentally, she also foted for, and helped to elect, her gov ernor and a full state ticket; but the is- this county at this election was much a question of party, as of moral supremacy. Our people, after eight yean of prosperity under a pro hibitory license, were suddenly confront ed with a proposition to invite, by a re peal of the high license, the establish ment of the liquor traffic in our little city. Tins effort was met by the majority of ir solid citizens with an indignant pro test lly the mothers, wives and daugh ters it was received with a horror and fear that finally culminated in nest, organized, never resting effort to save their city from threatened disorder, disrepute, drunkenness and their homes from the hamls of the despoiler. To this good cause the ministers of the town contributed their earnest almost inspired work. Information soon came to the councils of the tern iterance cause that money in large quantities was corn ing to the opposition from their liquor allies in Savannah, Brunswick and Jack sonville. While this fact alone ought to have convinced the advocates of bar rooms that these cities, and not Way- cross, would be the gainers by the es tablishment of the traffic here, still it gave a dangerous strength to the enemies of prohibition, and the situation was oini- Tliat the town ami county were both thoroughly amused to this ques- .-ideneed by the unusually large vote polled. • The over-whelming ma jority of three hundred and fifteen votes liestowed on Col. Wilson, was undoubt edly a surprise to both sides. We regard it as a moral victory. The people have decided that whether or not Way cross is to have a commercial reviv ing her spiritual And moral well-being shall not be jeopardized. To those of friends who have suffered from the great depression in business through the south and west, and who honestly thought they saw a revival of trade through the liquor traffic in Way cross, we can only ly the fiat of the people lias gone forth ad we hope to see the day not far dis tant when all will acknowledge it a wise and just one. for riding or driving, the rood stretching from the cemetery to the former la charm ing, It is shaded by noble old oaks.

WARE COUNTY’S VOTE. For Governor— Xorthen 877, Peek' Of the state election, outside of the office of representative of Ware' county, the Herald lias at present little to say except to give the reported approximate democratic majority of from forty to sev- entythousand, over the combined people’s party and republican vote. It would be a democrat with ’water, not bloodjin his veins who would not thrill with joy and pride at such a victory did he know it to be the honest expression of will of the people. But now comes the cry of fraud, and wherewith have we to refute the charge? We cannot say to the defeated minority, “you were given your representatives among the managers at the polls and you cannot dispute the count.” No, we have, through an arbitrary use of power as the party in control, put the weapon in the hands of our enemies with which to rob our victory of half its joys, if not to precipitate our beloved state into the terrible throes ofa political strife such as has thrown Alabama and Arkansas close to the borders of anarchy. All the bitter contention now inevitably ahead of us could have been averted, by the recom mendation by oar chief executive to ,the proper county officers to permit one her of the people’s party on each board of election managers, in compliance with the request of the leaders of that party. We cannot but believe that Gov. Xorthen in his zeal for party has not only not held the scales of justice in an even hand aa he was bound by oath to do in the interests of all parties and all classes, but we seriously fear he has strengthened the ranks of the opposition. There is nothing like the sense of wrong to fan the fires of hate.

Yours very truly, GR0VKU CLEVELAND. Stultifying Themselves. To a great extent the reciprocity proj ect was a humbug. It was intended as a sugar coating for the bitter pill of the McKinley tariff. “What do we care for abroad?* said Major McKinley, us cultivate and develop the home mar ket and leave foreign trade to take of itself," said other leading lights of Repnblicism. Yet in spite of these dec larations of antagonism to foreign trade the Republicans tacked the reci procity sections to the McKinley law with the pretended purpose of securing new foreign markets for oar agricultur ists and manufacturers.—Rochester (N.

Borne of the organs insist that the issue is dead and that Harrison's letter of ac ceptance will give it burial. The at tempt is vain. The issue is clearly made by the record and attitude of the party and its principal leaders. The force bill has been indorsed by Mr. Harrison and the controlling element in the party organization. Its principle is embodied and asserted in the platform of the party.—St. Louis Post-Dispatch. There la No Possible Xfmj of Protecting Labor from Competition. Bat what of the workingmen? How are they protected? Mr. Carnegie knows bow to protect himself. He does it by having the dnty on his products made so high that none can come into the country to compete with him and break down his prices of anything that he has to selL The laborer has nothing to sell but his labor; how is that protected? Is labor shut out by any law? Here are the fig ures of four years, showing the number of immigrants: Total... This is an average of half a million annually, and in this great army of im migrants in search of work the great mills and factories find men to take the places of striker*.

He is a man of the strictest integrity and has the entire confidence of all who know him. His farm is situa ted seven miles from the county site, and one of the most attractive places in Colquitt. Mr. Monk was bom in Worth county 59 years ago, and has been living at hi* present location nearly twenty five years. He cultivates aliout 190 acres of land, half of which he sows in oats. He raises any quantity of fruit of all kinds, lie pastures more stock than perliap*|any other man in the county, Mr. Monk is the father of 14 children and is a consistent member of the Primi tive Baptist church. Six miles from Moultrie may lie found the splendid home of clever John T. Register. He cultivate* about 75 acre* of land, and is one of the strongest men in the county. Mr. Register is a native of Colquitt and has an interesting family consisting of 9 children and a wife. He was in company B, 10tli Georgia Battal ion, Lige Anderson’s brigade, and went all through the four years of unpleasant ness, 61-64, without receiving a scratch. “A man would starve to death raising cotton at present prices,” said Mr. Regis ter, as we were leaving, after a very pleasant interview. • There are railroads ami rumors of rail roads in Colquitt. The Quitman and Albany railroad is lieing built and it is claimed will be completed the early part of next year. Beckwith A Rogers have built a tram road out from Sparks, which may at sonic future day become a i»cr- manent road. The line as surveyed will ran within a few miles of Moultrie. These gentlemen are operating a saw mill two miles from Sparks ami an-ex- tensivc turpentine farm aliout nine miles out, near tlie Little River. Wheeler Norman is one of the lead ing citizens of Colquitt. He is engaged in the manufacture of* naval stores and lumber, and runs an extensive farm. He is also engaged in stock raising. Mr. Forman is a candidate for representative of Colquitt county on the l>emocratic ticket. He is a strong man, and wil make a lively race. M. E.

He lives immediately on the public road leading from Sparks to Al bany, and his farm is in as healthy con dition as any we visited. He is one of the county commissioners and a deacon in the Baptist church. Much more might lie said of Colquitt and her people, but we wil\concIude for the present.
