SATURDAY, DECEMBER 24,1892.
The Herald, at thin, the happiest of
all seasons, wishes “above all things” to
appear in the homes of its subscribers,
patrons and friends, with the greeting of
a loyal democrat, in full sympathy with
the great masses of the people who con
stitute the bone and sinew of this country.
And as we celebrate the anniversary of
the birth of the lowly Xazarine, whose
life and life’s work was a proclamation
of general amnesty to rebellious subjects,
we should not be unmindful of the di
vinely appointed precept and example
portrayed in the life and suffering of the
Saviour. To be useful in whatever
sphere of life we enter, to exemplify the
principles contained in the great truths
that it is “better to give than to receive,”
and to appear as a living, walking, work
ing personification of the great expound
er of moral ethics, who formed and
moulded the thoughts embodied
golden rule, and bade us do unto others
as we would have them do unto us. The
IIeram> would'fain flood every home on
the eve of this glad anniversary with
peace, happiness and contentment, draw
as with silken chords the sting from t
ery wounded heart, place a cornucopia
the lap of every needy sufferer, and place
every lonely orphan in a condition so
replete with joy, until a sense of neglect
would no longer find n place in their
Itosom.
The |>oeiu, “An Old Rag I toll,” found
in this issue of the Herai.i>, is a true
history of too frequent occurrence.
The care-worn face lay under the sod.
While Charity preached in the house of God.
I-et those whose impulses are moved
by motives of charity bestir themselves
in nn effort to render substantial aid to
the poor, to the neglected, to their
ueighlior* ami their neighbor's children.
It appear* from a communication from
Capt. 11. W. Reed elsewhere in these
columns, that n local paragraph, as
cribed to an industrious local quill
driver, touched him in a tender spot
and he proceeds to ameliorate the politi
cal disaster, by placing himself in the
position of mentor to the erratic reporter
whose palpable uneasiness it was thought
might result in an epileptic stroke. If,
from some hot-bed of political science, a
recipe in the .form of a nuncupative
poultice, waa not gotten up by himself to
restore the mental equilibrium of the
unfortunate reporter. After dumping
that mass of information up An us con
tained in the assertion that the forma
tion of the American republic, together
with its constitution, was both a revela
tion and an innovotion in the science of
jiolitics, and that custom and usage were
not in it, proceeds to show that the cus
tom and usage, peculiar to the people of
this country, have experienced a change
during the past hundred years, to all of
which the Herai.ii assents, and respect
fully submits that more important, thor
ough and efficient changes have been ex
perienced during the past twelve months.
But perhaps a discussion upoh a plain so
broad as the republic and the constitu
tion of these United States would not be
german to the question of propriety
the individual right of voters not willing
to support a ticket made up of their per
sonal friends and placed in nomination
by their own votes, simply because such
support would abridge individual rights
at the ballot box.
Capt. Reed i* evidently loaded with a
very great respect for the will of the
majority, notwithstanding he attempts to
defend his resolution by citing the fact
that those who oppose it strongest, have
themselves been bolters, all of which
goes to support Capt. Reed's proposition
that things have changed.
Plant avenue has been filled with a
merry, hustling throng this week, peer
ing into the shop windows, decorated
with a dazzling display of holiday goods
to tempt the hurried passer by, inside
the busy merchants, with all the help
they could command, served the eager
throngs iu search of fine toys for the
little ones at home, or some rare gift for
loved ones, and aa the bundles were
— made up, each with their treasure de
parted with the bright beams of joy and
satisfaction sparkling on their happy
faces. It is well to be happy. It is a
''fine thing to be able to supply the means
which afford so much pleasure just now
to the little ones who gather at the fami
ly fireside at eventide, whose every-day
prattle for many days has been full of
wonders about the mysterious coming of
Santa Claus, through whose dreams he
has flashed with his wonderful sleigh.
But will kind bands lead him to every
poor child’s cradle, or pallet, and will
the hearts of all these little ones leap
with joy to-morrow ? ,
Gentle reader, if there is any thing in
this picture to dampen the ardor of your
own joy, remember that He who an
nounced—“The poor you have always
with you,” would have you remember
them to-day, and add to your pleasure by
erecting for yourself a monument in the
heart ot some little hoy or girl.

Atlanta, ChL, Dec. 19.—It is seldom
that a negro is the recipient of such an
honor and compliment as that paid to
Representative Styles, a member of the
legislature from Liberty county, by the
Fulton County Confederate Veterans’
Association. It was his reward for the
stand he took in the fight over the bill
accepting the home for ex-confederate
soldiers in the legislature. That stand
which marked representative Styles
deserving a niche in the history of the
state, when the illiterate black man with
the loyal devotion of a gone generation
beaming in his shining face arose in
Georgia’s House of Representatives and
with modest fervor trembling in his
speech pleaded for a shelter for the fee
ble old soldier who had fought in the
past to maintain his bondage, gave to
the world an example of patriotism that
must stand forever a eredit to his color.
The unassuming negro’s simple appeal
[sent a thrill through the House that was
not kindled by the eloquence of the old
soldiers’ most brilliant champion.
FEI.T BY THE VETERANS.
That thrill went out from the legisla
tive halls and pervaded the hearts of the
veterans everywhere who heard of it.
Soon after Representative Styles’ speech
for the home a movement was started to
fitly acknowledge his patriotic stand and
to-night the veterans’ association met
and formally presented him with a hand
some gold-headed cane.
Rev. Sam Small made the presenta
tion speech.
The hall of the veterans was crowded.
Representative Styles was introduced
>v President Calhoun, who had called a
ijieeinl meeting for the purpose of com
plimenting the negro member from Lib
erty. Representative Styles made a
speech before the veterans that was af
fecting in its earnestness and feci ing for
the great compliment bestowed upon
him. Afterward the association was pre
sented with a photograph of the old
who, as a slave was faithful in war
and as a freedman was still true to hi:
st. The photograph was accepted by
»idcnt Calhoun of the association ii
appropriate speech, and it will haug
the walls of the association hall as t
constant reminder of the fidelity of Rep'
reselltntive Styles of Liberty.

Editor Herald:
The industrious local quill-driver who
ha* heard it vaguely rumored that .“we
live in a progressive age”—the thought
of which causes him palpable uneasiness
.—may have his mental equilibrium af
fected to the point of epilepsy by the in
formation I now give him that the for
mation of our republic and of the Ameri
can constitution “were both a revelation
and an innovation in the science of poli
tics,” and that “custom and usage were
not in it.” He has made it incumbent
on me to tell him that not only have the
custom of usages of the people of this
country undergone a complete change in
the past hundred yeans; but the iron
caucus rule of political parties that he
seems to invest with the reverence due
to hoary age, is of very modern origin
and has seldom been applied to general
meetings.
It was certainly never contemplated
by the founders of our government that
the caucus, or moss meeting, should su
percede or restrict the free ehoice of the
individual at the ballot box.
The resolution that I offered in our
recent mass meeting was not intended to
reflect upon any of tha candidate* nomi
nated—all of whom are my personal
friends—but it was intended to empha
size a principal that is unfortunately
being too often disregarded and which
tends towards “ring rule,” or the control
of an unwilling majority by a shrewd
minority.
1 hold that even’ man’s freedom of
choice should extend to the ballot box,
as that is the only possible method by
which the will of the majority can be
guaranteed.
It was a little singular tliat the most
vigorous opponent to my resolution has
on several well known occasions bolted
meetings, in which he had undertaken to
participate, because he discovered him
self to be in a minority after the organi
zation was completed in iris presence.
He who undertakes to handicap the
individual voter, by caucus or other
methods, usually live* to regret his ef
forts in that direction. H. W. Reed.
This remedy is becoming known and
so popular as to need no special mention.

The laws of health are taught in the
schools ; but not in a way to be of much
practical benefit and are never illustrated
by living examples, which in many cases
might easily be done. If some scholar,
who had just contracted a cold, was
brought before the school, so that all
could hear the dry, loud cough and know
it significence; sec the thin white
coating on the tongue and later, as the
cold developed, see the profuse watery
expectoration and thin watery discharge
from the nose, not one of them would
ever forget what tbe first symptom* of a
cold were. The scholar should then be
given Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy
freely, that all might see that even a se
vere cold could be cured in one or two
days, or at least greatly mitigated, when
properly treated as soon as the first sym
ptoms appear. This remedy is famous
for it’s cures of coughs, colds and croup.
It is made especially for these diseases
and is the most prompt and most relia
ble medicine known for the purpose.

•telsht of Hand Poisoning.
A very curious item in toxicological
lore I chanced to light upon may be
called the feat of poisoning by sleight oi
hand. Yon were jealous of a lady and
yon wished to kill her. Well, yon asked
her to lunch, and yon caused a very nice
peach to be served at dessert You cut
the fruit with a golden knife, one side
of the blade of which was endued with
a deadly poison. You presented the
poisoned half of the peach to the lady,
who ate it with much relish and then
dropped down dead.
The wholesome half you ate yourself,
and laughed in your sleeve, and went
on slicing more peaches for the ladies ot
whom you were jealous—till you were
found out and broken on the wheel* Aye,
there’s the rnb! What high old times
we might have, to be sure, but for that
plaguey contingency of being found out.
