OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
DAWSON, GA.,MAR. 30rH., 1892,
——————————————————————————
Tae Hill boom has petered out.
Tue South can never prosper unless
she stands united.
TrE NEws’ popularity and circulation
continue to grow with giant strides.
JUEGE GUERRY went down to Blakely
Sunday and convened Early Superior
Court Monday morning.
CoRRORAL GUNN seems to have an
enmity towards all mankind. He needs
a good, strong liver medicine.
Lo~ LiviNastox and Charlie Post will
both address the people of Douglassville
soon. Poor, rersecuted people!
A FUNNY thing downin this section of
the State is the spectacle of Corporal
Gunn imagining himself a leader.
THE NEWS, this mori)ing. congratulates
the successful candidate, and extends its
heartiest sympathy to the defeated one.
CoNGREssMAN Toym WiNy has flopped
over to the Third Party. Tommy will
be a back number when the elections
occur next fall,
ATTORNEY GENERAL LESTER died
last Friday night. Governor Northen
has appointed Assistant Attorney Gen
eral Little to the vacancy.
Is the sudden quietness of the corres
pondents in this Congressional district
indicative that the battle has been won
by any one of the aspirants?
Tuirp partyites work under a dark
lantern. No secret grip or pass-word
“should be required to gain access to any
political assembly in this free republic.
THERE are two or three very able
campaign liars in the Second Congress
ional District; and they are not very par
ticular what they fabricate about, either.
w st
Tue NEws adheres to the conviction
that cotton, by the aid of the mill, can
be made to bring 15 cents a pound. Let
the farmer get some money into cot
ton mill stock.
TaE Constitution is beginning to real
ize the drift of popular sentiment, and
is letting up considerably in its fulsome
praise of Candidate Hill and its abuse
of Statesman Cleveland.
TaE result of the primary yesterday
will not take the gentleman receiving the
smaller number of votes out of the Con
gressional race. It will only cause re
newed energy on his part.
Ir the Republicans ever expect to
make any headway in Georgia now is
their time. They do not need a cam
paign fund, becanse the Third Party
will do their fighting for them.
Tur Tatnall Journal alleges that the
political horoscope of Senator Alfred
Helt Colquitt is cracked. Some of these
Georgia editors have a way of striking
the nail’on the head very frequently.
ALTOGETHER, political matters among
the Georgia Congressmen are in a state
of beautiful uncertainty. About the
oenly placid man in the lot is Mr, Blount,
and he is not a candidate for re-election.
It was not “Whiskers'” Jones, or any
otiter of the numerous Joneses, but *pri
vate secretary” Jones to Senator Alfy
Colquitt who said he would vote for a
Third Party man before he would Cleve
land. el
THE Niws stated last week that a
large majority of the Democrats in Con
gress cppose free silver. The majority
is 80 large and the bill was so effectually
killed that it wil' not be brovght up
again, |

Our friend down at Camilla should
seam up the impression on his hand
press,. thin down his ink and stir out
among his merchants. He would then
probably have less cause to be a calamity
howler.
Tae senate is preparing to force an
xpression of sentiment on the silver

s only for political effect, however, and
will not amount to anything beneficial

- ORGANIZATION PERFECTED. i
The People’s Party moverent is fairly |
under way, the State organization having
been formally perfected Wednesday of |
last week. i
It has been decided to put out a full
State ticket, to make a vigorous contest l
in all of the Congressional districts, and ‘
to select delegates to the Omaha conven
tion for the purpose of nominating a‘
Presidential ticket.
The fight is on, now, and the most
conciliatory cannot refuse to look the l
matter squarely in the face.
Tlie first thing to be done is to make a
deliberate estimate of the strength of this ]
movement. Itwiil notdoto make a mis
take by brushing the question aside as
an impulsive and unimportant organiza
tion of sore-headed politicians, in which
the masses are taking no part.
This, in view of the scope and enthusi
asm of the movement, would be a crime.
While the People’s Party was formu
lated and encouraged by politicians who
were hungry for office the people have
‘been misled, the minds of the maises
‘have been poisoned to such an extent
‘that they think that the new party fur
rnishes a balm for all of the woes that
now afflict the country, and offers relief
for all of the evils of legislation that have
£0 long hampered our common prosper
ity. :
This is a great error, but the people
believe it.
It is a fact that can no longer be de
nied, that the People’s Party is the most
threatening movement that has been
started in the history of this country
since the war. Nor is it confined to the
farming element. Its converts are to be
found gmong all trades and all profes
sions. It 1s a breathing, vigorous body,
whose natural strength in this State will
be at least 40,000 in the next campaign.
This will be considerably augmented by
the Republican vote, and it may be put
down as a very safe estimate that it will
poll 70,000 votes in the coming State and
National elections.
These figures are serious, though not
necessarily alarming.
But they should impress upon the
Democrats of Georgia the necessity of
thorough organization and vlgorous
campaigning.
It will be a repetition of the hard
struggles of Democracy immediately
after the war, that will bring out the full
strength of the party, which, if had,will
result in the fullest vote that has been
polled in the State in twenty years.
Sl W et
IT!1S8S NOT TRUE.
Terrell county expresses her choice for
Congressman next Tuesday. A majority
of Terrell's Executive Committee are
auti-alliancemen. They hoped by rush
ing matters to prevent allianzemen from
“getting together.”” But O. B. Stevens
will sweep the county. “Cut this out
fil»r future reference.”’—Cuthbert Liber
al.
Corporal Gunn should confine himself
more closely to facts. The above lacks
much of being true, and Tue NEws is in
clined to the suspicion that the Corporal
knew there was no foundation for the
item when he wrote it.
Of the nineteen members of the exec
utive committee of this county thirteen
are alliancemen and six are non-alliance
men, the latter being Wm. Kaigler, J.
W. F. Lowrey, E. L. Raingy, W.E.Brim,
C. G. King and Matthew Marshall. The
primary was set for an early date at the
request of both Mr, Stevens and Judge
Guerry, and some of Mr, Stevens’ friends
on the committee wanted the primary
held on April Ist instead of on the sth
In behalf of the gentlemdh composing
the executive committee of Terrell coun
ty THe NEws hurls the insinuation of
unfairness back to its unworthy author,
and would remind him that there is yet
asense of honor and fairness among the
citzens of Terrell county.
| ViLLAGE farming is favored by Gov
ernor Northen, and is coming to be dis
cussed in a general way with some enthu
siasm. The provinces of France and
Germany illustrate more forcibly than
modern theory the beauty and value of
the system. The man who shall first
inaugurate the system in Georgia shall
be the recipient of loudest praise.
- ToAT was an excellent recommenda
tion of the Executive Committee of this |
Congressional District that all the coun
ties act on the same day. They also
acted wisely in postponing the day of
action till July 30th. Inthe meantime
let the ‘“‘campaign of education" go on.
For geruine warm-hearted hospitality
the people of Albany are unequaled.
Tue NEws was never among a cleverer
set of people, and they may consider as
having received from us all the compli
mentary things that the English language
will express..

DEMOCRACY, AWAKE !
A HIDDEN ENEMY THREATENS THE
STATE'S WELFARE.
Third Party Organized---A Full Ticket to
Be Put in the Field in July---A Se
cret Convention. ;
ArrLaNTA, March 30.—Like a thie in
the night the People’s party in Georgia
perfected its organization in this city
today. A State central committee, with
full machinery and plan of campaign,
are now in existence. Tomorrow morn
ing the Democracy that has always been
the safety and the safeguard of the com
monwealth of Georgia will awake to
find the enemy that has for two years
been lurking under cover openly in the
field, organized and equipped to contest
every inch of ground in the approaching
campaign.
THE DEMOCRACY MUST ACT.
There is no longer any doubt after
the event of today. The Democratic
party should not hesitite, but rise up
and prepare for the struggle that is
bound to come. It is a secret enemy
that the Democrats have to meet. The
plans of the third party are well laid.
Since the meetings of Saturday last they
are developing in a way that will un
‘doubtedly cause some alarm among
i Democrats.
UNUSUAL ACTIVITY.
There has been an unusual amount of
activity among the Third Party here for
the past few days. It was easy to see
that there was something brewing, but
just what it was, those interested took
good care to keep to themselves.
First, Senator Ellington arrived in the
city, announcing that he would be here
several days. Then other Third
Party men came straggling in from
different sections of the State, but they
diligently kept their mouths shut. So
secretly have the plans been carried out,
that although a convention of forty-five
representatives from every district in
the State met here this morning in a
back room in the building in which the
oftice of the People’'s Party Paper is lo
cated, both the afternoon papers failed
to discover the fact.
IN SESSION ALL DAY.
The People's party convention was in
session all day longz, and it was not until
its work was finished tonight that any
information could be had in regard to it.
How the delegates to the conference
were selected is not known, but it is be
lieved that they were selec ed by various
organizations in secret in accordance
with the insiructions of the secret circu
lar issued two weeks ago by Livingston
and Peek.
A SECRET CAMPAIGN,
The whole plan seems to be to carry
on a secret campaign as far as possible,
every effort being, made to deny the
meeting being held today until it could
no longer be denied.
At the conference here today C. C.
Post, of Donglass county, was elected
chairman of the State committee. Oscar
Parker, a lawyer of Atlanta, secretary;
and the following members of the com
mittee from the various congressional
districts.
THF STATE COMMITTEE:
First district, W. R. Kemp, Swaines
boro; second district, I. H. Hand, Mil
ford, G. W. Forrester, Cairo; third dis
trict, W. T. Christopher, Montezuma,
F. D. Wimberly, Cochran; fourth dis
trict, W. R. Gorman, Geneva, L. M. Mec-
Ghee, Powersville; fifth district, A. G.
Daniels, Atlanta, W. L. Peek, Conyers;
sixth district, G. H. Ware, Kearnon, C
F. Turner, Brent; seventh district, S. S.
Colson, Greenway; eighth district, E.
M. Anthony, Washington, L. R. Rob
bins, Greensboro; ninth district, J. R.
Anderson, Cumming, J. N. Twitty, Jef
ferson; tenth district, C. H. Ellington,
Thompson, M. I. Branch, Berzelid; elev
enth district, T. N. Morton, Waycross,
W. A. Ecord, Hammersville.
PULL TICKETS TO BE NAMED.
Through these members of the State
committee instructions were transmit
ted to the People’'s party in every dis
trict to place candidates in the field for
all offices, from bailiff to congressman.
Such a campaign will wake up Geor
gia as she has not been awakened sinc.
the days of reconstruction. A conven
tion to nominate State House officers and
candidate for governor was ordered
called for July 20 by the new-born com
mittee. Delegates to the Omaha con
vention were ordered to be elected by
district conventions, without a State
convention. These delegates will be
chosen some tiwe in June.
A CAMPAIGN COMMITTEE.
Before adjourning the campaign com
mittee, composed of C. C. Post, M. D.
Irwin, editor oi the Alliance Farmer;
M. T. Branch, John F. West and P. W.
Ivey, was elected,
Lengthy discussions upon all features
of the approaching campaign were in
dulged in. The pension plank in the
St. Louis platform was handled and will
be put in the best shape to make it ac
ceptable to Southern voters. To offset
any feeling it may arouse it was pro
posed to have inserted a plank provid
ing that the government reimburse
slave owners or their heirs for the losses
¢f their slaves by the emancipation
proclamation,
ELLINGTON FOR GOVERXNOR.
Senator Ellington will be the candi
date for governor, at least he will con
test for the nomination with Gorman,
Watson and Peek will stand for cun
gress.
The Third partyites were jubilant over
their work when speaking of the con
yention and the prospects of the cam
paign.

A LONELY GRAVE l
Receives Loving Attention After Many
Years of Negiect.
In 1835, fifty-seven years ago, Mr.
Pinkston, with his family in a covered
wagon, passed near where the town of
Partott now stands. His object was to
settle somewhere in this section, as the ‘
fertility of the land was inviting immi
tion.
On the journey a babe of his was ta
ken sick, died, and was buried at a lone
ly place in the woods then called I’inel
Ridge, a mile north of the present town
of Parrott.
At that time but few families were to
be fouud in this section of the State, and
many Indians roamed wfldly over the
country, but with what little help that
was obtained from the few neighbors a
decent burial was given the child, and it
was left to await the morning of the res
urrection. For years past this lonely
grave has been tenderly cared for, and
now, after alapse of more than half a
century, a nephew of this little child, Mr.
E. E. Pinkston, of Parrott, has had it en- ‘
closed with a pretty iron railing—a beau
tiful illustration of the fact that little .
Mary Pinkston is still remembered in
fond affection by relatives of another
generation., 1
A LUNATIC got into the capital at
Jackson, Miss., the other day and ad
journed the legislature. He was armed
with a big knife, and it is said that mar
bles could have been played on the coat
tails of the members as they quit the
halls of the legislature. Lunatics do a
good work now and then. There ought
to be one around a good many state
houses, before the close of the sessions
of the legislatures. One would not be
out of place in Atlanta on some occa
sions.

THE Perry Journal says that when the
Third Party gets through paying for the
purchase of all the railroads; when
they get through paying for all the
slaves; when they get through paying
the Federal soldiers’ back pension grabs,
when they get every member of this new
party into a fat office, then we will have
a country as poor as the Sahara desert,
and not worth the setting of a buzzard's
eggs; and the public debt will run up to
several thousand dollars per capita.
Away with such folly! |

Tue Atlanta Constitution seems to be |
in a very bad humor with the Democratic |
party. Ovr esteemed contemporary is
disappointed that the Democratic major
ity in Congress refuses to commit the
party to a profitless and disastrous wran
gle on the silver question, and it is prob
ably not pleased over the prospect of the
inevitable defeat of Mr. Hill for the pres
idential nomination. These, howaever,
are merely incidents of the great cam
paign,and our contemporary should try
to bring itself to regard them with resig
nation, if not cheerfulness.—Columbus |

Strong Men.
Women love strong men. A weak man
may excite their sympathy and a woman's
careful tenderness soothe and soften the
anguish of a weak man’'s soul, but the
laughing, joyous, warm, exuberant love
of yomen dear, belongs to the men that
are strong, noble and kind. i hen why
will a man continue weak and peevish?
An old gentleman writes: “B. B. B.
gives me new life and strength, If there
is anything that will make an old man
young, it is B, B, B.”
Some men say, and women, too, they
never feel weak and mean except in the
spring. Why then feel weak and mean
and nervous and prostrated in the spring
‘time when life and spirit awakens with
thrilling buoyancy even the vegetable
‘world? Must you allow sluggish blood,
Jinactive organic function, rusty joints
and general weakness to make your life
miserable simply because the long win
ter has restrained your natural activity?
It need not be. If you will only use that
pleasant and incomparable tonic blood 1
purifier known as B. B. B. or Botanic
Blood Balm, your health in spring time |
will be all that you cam wish. Try it now. |
P. A. Shepherd, Norfolk, Va., writes: '
‘I depend on B, B. B, for the preserva- |
tion of my health. [ have had itin my I
