Newspaper Page TextTHE NEWS g A i By €. L. RAINEY. OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY. DAWSON, GA., ArriL 27TH., 1892, BA B A K N S PTSN < PR 3 s LIRS - 535 T 5 APPEAL TO THE COMMISSION. From time to time THE NEws has urged upon the authorities of the Cen tral railroad the importance of building a suitable depot for Dawson. The old structure has been inadequate for the accommodation of the public for years, and it is not only an eye-sore, but it is a disgrace to the road thatowns it and to the city in which it is located. The railroad authorities long since rec ognized the justice of Dawson’s claim to better accommodations, and prior to the lease of the Central to the Georgia Pacific they repeatedly promised a building that would in all respects ccmpare with the size and impor:iance of the city. Prior to the lease the authorities even went so far as to send an architect here to look over the surroundings and make specifications for the new depot, but the lease seems to have put a stop to their operations. The railroad commission has full authority to order the construction of a new depot—the same authority that has been used in having new depots built at Albany, Shellman and other towns—and now the city council should appeal to the commission for aid in the matter. Press the button, gentlemen of the council, and let the depot rise! And future generations of Dawson will call you blessed. ACTION OF THE EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. Tue News publishes in full today the proceedings of the Democratic Executive Committee of the Second Congressional District at the meeting thereof on the 21st inst. To say the least, theaction of the com mit ee is not calculated to create harmo ny where dissension exists, nor to pre serve harmony where the party is al ready working in concord. Indeed, the basty and extreme utterances of the committee are such as to create a woe ful division in Democratic ranks if left to work their legitimate and natural re sult. W& hope and believe that the good common sense and conservatism of the people, the Democratic people,of the district will be a bulwark against which such waves of passion and prejudice wil! beat in vain. Indeed, it is believed that the reflux will be so strong as to over whelm the gentlemen who were the leading spirits in what, were itnot for the attending d.ngers, would be the greatest political farce of the age. Shall the servant become the master? The creature the creator? This would be the legitimate result of a submis sion by the Democracy of the district to the dictatorship of the committee. They are but the creatures of the last Demo cratic convention, appointed for the sole purpose of holding the party organiza tion intact and keeping the same in good running order, to keep the party wheels greased and free from obstructions of any and a'l sorts. They were appointed to promulgate, not to create. They are servants of the party, put in place to do its bidding. Instead of following the good old Democratic usages of half a century, this committee proceeded to make laws for the patty, to create tests of party fealty, and to hurl the anathe mas of their condemnation at all Demo crats who do not follow in their wake and subscribe humbly to all of their po litical doctrines. . Ther: is nothing objectionable in the resolution perse requiring all ‘'who are challenged in the dewocratic primaries to swear that they will support the nom inee and the platform of the party, but it would certainly be a humiliating spec tacle to see the rock-ribbed democrats, the honest yeomanry of the country, the men who have borne the burden and heat of many a hard fought campaign without the slightest hope of participa tion in the spoils, the true men of the party who hav labored and prayed for democratic success for democracy’s sake "alone, marching to the polls under the banner of Messrs. Hobbs, Harris & Co. with inscribed thereon: ““These men ar> democrats. They have not only pledged their sacred honor to serve dem ocracy, they have not only spent their lives battling for democracy’s glorious cause, they have, in their old age, after all this, on aczount of these ‘troublous limes,” solemnly sworn with their hand am the holy evangel of Almighty God +hat they are, by the grace of God and the executive committee,still democrats, and always will be democrats.’ | Is this Democratic? Isit the spirit that @pimated Jefferson, Jackson or the host of grand old men wiho, in time past, have held aloft the banner of Democracy? God forbid! The Democratic party has never made a law requiring this test of democratic faith, and until svch law is made we are all entitled to stay ‘‘in our father’s house'” unless we go out volun tarily. This is not so much a question of power as it is who is the power, The other test required by the com mittee, and the ultima thale of demo cratic faith, in the opinion of the com mittee, is that all the counties sha!l hold their primaries on July 30th, and coun ties holding their primaries on any other day are to be debarred representation in the convention so far as the edict of the committee can control it. We have been very much inclined to view this as but an ebullition of the naturil Irish humor of our friend, Capt. Hobbs, but upon in quiry we find that the committee is seri ous in its demands, and that the coun ties that decline to order and hold their primaries on the day set forth in the edict of Albany, will have trouble in get ting into the convention so far as the committee’s influence can make it. We must not omly swear that we a e, have always been and will always be, demo crats, but we must all swear it on the same day. When, before this, in the history of the democratic party, has an executive committee assumed to name the date on which the various counties should act, and require such action as a test of democratic loyalty? As well might the nitional committee assume t» name the day on which all the states must act. We see no objection to all the counties acting on the same day, and we have no objection to July 30th, provided the county committees see fit to call the pri maries on that day, but we do insist that itis not only not democratic, but cen tralization in its highest and most obnox ious form, for the district committees to assume to dictate to the county commit tees in this wise. The damocratic party has always been the party of strict con struction, ever maintaining from Jeffer son to this day that “‘all rights not ex pressly delegated were reserved.” If this be democratic doctrine, then we ask, in all seriousness, to what faith does this assumed dictatorship and centralization belong? Carry out this doctrine to its legitimate conclusion and where will it lead us? If the congressional committee, under democratic law, has power to name a day on which all counties shall act, then the National committee has power to name a day on which all states shall act; indeed, it could go further and require all the townships and districts in all the counties of all the states to act on some day named by it, thus putting the great est pa-ty of the greatest country on earth in the hands of forty-four national com mitteemen. This is the logical sequence of the doctrine promulgated by the com mittee, and will be disastrous in its con sequertces if allowed to stand unques | tioned. ~ The county committeesare the author ity to which the demoecratic people have ‘delegated the powerof calling county pri ‘maries, no matter whether the question ‘be legislative, congressional, senatorial or presidential, and the calls of these committees are the calls that ought to and will be heeded by the democracy of this district, Wouldn't it be a sight to see the democratic hosts, on the day appointed for the grand ‘“‘round up,” gathering from all points of the compass in all the counties of the district under the whip of the genial Triplett, the affable Irvin and the sedate Spence, submissively | marching into the committees carol above 'whose gates is inscribed in blazing let fters: “These are good, sworn democ crats, and they are ours.” | One word more in regard to the ac ;itiun of the committee. - Appointed, as they were, for the purpose of holding ‘the party organization intact, they sug ‘gest division in our ranks and do advise the democrats to ‘‘refrain’ from all pri maries and conventions held not in ac cord with the instructions of the com mittee. Even if such conventions elect delegates to the State convention at the same time the congressional dele gates should be turned out as untrue to democratic faith, and the delegates to the State eonvention accepted as loy al party men. Here's logic for you! Here's consistency! It would seem that a democrat in one place would be a democrat in all others. Our committee seem tb think otherwise. Let us go on in our good, old-fashion ed way, elect delegates whenever it best suits the county democracy, and send them to the conventions unple !zed to any man or faction, but pledged to work for democratic harmony ana demoecratic suczess. Thus will the old ship of de mocracy continue to float proudly on the ocean of political struggle and will con- | tinue to hold her supremacy as the party of the people, for the people and by th ' people. | ROW IT STANDS. The New York, Worid concludes that Cleveland is the inevitable logic of the situation, Pennsylvania and Ncbraska Deniocrats Lave acted recently. They sent Cleve land delegates to tie Chicago conven tion. Kunsas, Missouri and even Indiana primaries went almost unanimously for Cleveland, Lt appears to Tae News that the nom ination o iny other man will be almost impossible. The fact is. Tne NEws doesn’t believs that any other name will go before the Chicago convention. Here is the way the vote will stand in the convention so far as the states have acted: CLEVELAND.

Q Indisna . . 301 | el 208! 72 Bl e IT is a source of gratification to THE News that it can attest the conservatism of the leaders, as well as the rank and file, of the Terrell county alliance. They have always exhibited a disposition to discuss questions and measures with their anti-alliance neighbors in a spirit of liberality, and let arguments count for all they are worth. As a general rule they have been unwilling to act upon any proposition until they hear both sides of it. So long as this conser vatism continues we have no fear of the urtoward political upheavals that we read about in other counties. WueN accused of imagining himself a “leader,” and attempting to ride on any and every popular wave, Corporal Gunn resorts to the boyish practice of making faces. Of courseitis unnecessary to show up the genial Corporal, but we can’t resist calling him to time occasion ally. It's really amusing to watch his antics. Tue fire in Atlanta last week, which partially destroyed the Technological College, is not so bad as at first reported. The machinery hall was alinost complete ly ruined and most of the machinery it contained entirely ruined. The main building was saved, Thel s; is now estimated at about $30,000, with an insurance of £lB,OOO. THAT must have been a thrilling, hair lifting tableau in the St. Louis conven tion when a Federal and a Confederate soldier, with a negro between them, were wrapped in a national flag, as an illus tration of the mannerin which that great convention would obliterate the color line, “HE question is frequently discussed as to what the Democratic party is going to do with the farmers. A more important question seems to be: What are the far mers going to do with the Democratic party? TaosE who read nothing but the Con stitution complacently imagine that Sen ator Hill will sweep up the face of the earth. A painful eye-opening awaits them in the near future. SiNCE hearing from the different sec tions of the district, Editor Turner, down at Albany, is prostrated with sur prise, and is silent and thoughtful to an alarming extent. Hox. W. A. LirTLE will not be a can didate for Attorney-General. Col. Glenn, of Atlanta, and Col. Terrell, of Green uille, want the position. CLEVELAND has 624 votes to Hill's 384 of the Georgia delegates already elected to the Demgcratic convention. My, my, how Grover sweeps "em!

Fort GAINEs, GA., Aprii 23—Fort Gaines gave Hon. C. B. Wooten a regu lar ovation today. About two hundred and fifty people turned out to hear him expound the Democratic doctrine, and he carried the day. His address was an able one, and he made a splendid impression upon those who had never heard him before. The action of the District Executive Committee at Albany on Thursday last was approved. Great enthusiasm pre vailed during the meeting. QUITMAN FOR STEVENS. The result of the County Primary Held There. GEORGETOWN, April 22.—At the pri mary meeting held in this county today delegates were elected to the Congress ional Convention in favor of O. B. Ste vens. There was no opposition. Alli ance delegates were also elected to the state convention, and favor Cleveland for president. For the first time in the his tory of the county the members of the county executive committee were elected by primary, all of whom are Alliance mnen. A Severe Test. When a manufacturer, from years of observation. has so completely satisfied himself of the universal satisfaction giv en by his products, that he feels fully warranted in selling them under a cer tificate of guarantee, it is very natural to believe that such a producer has implicit confidence in the merits of his goods, and that, too, not without good reason. Such confidence is possessed by the World’s Dispensary Medical Association, of Buffalo, N. Y., in Dr. Pierce's Family Medicines, and hence his ‘“‘Favorite Pre seription’ is sold by druggists, as no other medicine for similar purposes ever was, under a positive guarantee, that it will in every case give satisfaction, or money paid for it refunded. It cures il those distressing and delicate ail ments and weaknesses peculiar to wo men. It is not nessary to enumerate the long catalogue of derangements, both functional and organic. of the female system of which this marvelous remedy overcomes. They are, alas! but two well known to most females who have attained womanhood, to need more than i hint to make them plain to their un derstanding. Fine Hams, While visiting his cousin, Mrs. Barge, last week, Mr. J. W. Hortuan jestingly remarked before leaving that he wanted to see in the smokehouse, so that he would know whether to make another visit. Mr. Fortman was surprised when Mrs. Barge opened the smokehouse and showed him 39 home-raised hams weigh ing from 15 to 25 pounds each. You may judge for yourself whether Mr. Hortman will make another visit or not, A Legislative Suggestion. The lasest political rumor that has reached Tue NEews is the suggestion of Captain W, B.

WIELAT IS RN N TRIRSE SIS R, ARG It is that impurity in the blood, which, ac cumulating in the glands of the neck, pro duces unsightly lumps or swellings; which causes painful running sores on the arms, legs, or feet; which developes uleers in the - eyes, ears, or nose, often causing blindness or - deafness; which is the origin of pimples, can - cerous growths, or the many other manifesta~ tions usually ascribed to “humors;” which, fastening upon the lungs, causes consumption -and death. Being the most ancient, it is the most general of all diseases or affections, for very few persons are entirely free from it. “vs' CURED It Be By taking Hood’s Sarsaparilla, which, by the remarkable cures it has accomplished often when other medicines have failed, has proven itsclf to be a potent and peculiar medicine for this disease. Some of these cures are really wonderful. If you suffer from scrofula, be sure to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla. “ My daughter Mary was afflicted with scrof uloussore neck from the time she was22months old till she became six years of age. Lumps formed in her neck, and one of them after growing to the size of a pigeon’s egg, became a running sore for over three years. We gave her Hood’s Sarsaparilla, when the lump and all indications of scrofula entirely dis appeared, and now she seems to be a healthy child.” J. 8. CARLILE, Nauright, N. J. N.B.
