OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
DAWRSON, GA., Avsusr 3p,, 1892.

A THIRD PARTY SPLIT.
The convention of the People’s party
which assembled in Gainesville last
week to nominate a candidate for Con
gress, from the ninth Georgia district,
wrangled for two days and then split in
to two factions. One faction nominated
Rev. Thad Pickett, ‘‘the great Inde.
pendent,”” and *he other set nominated
‘‘the political acrobat,”” Hon. Thomas
E. Winn, who at present, (mis-)repre
sents that district in congress. l
For a party which boast as one of itsl
cardinal principles, the exclusion of uf—l
fice holders and office-seckers from its
councils, this disgracefal scramble is a
pretty exhibition indeed. It simply
serves to show the so-called ‘“‘reform”
leaders in their true light as a set of
disgruntled ‘*outs” trying to get in. It
ought to convince the plain people of the
ninth district of the holiowness of the
pretentions of the Third party bosses.
THIRD PARTY SHAM.
The People’s party convention which
was held in Atlanta recently is now
known to have been very munch of a
sham. The great effort of the occasion
was to keep from showing their real
strength. When the committee on cre
dentials cure in to report it was moved
by a member of that committee that the
report be received without being read.
This was promptly voted and but tew
will ever know what counties were prop
erly represented in the convention. I.
is the opinion of many that there were
not a hundred counties represented in
it any way whatever. ;
That any political party should hopci
to boom itself into prominence by such
methods, is a little remarkable. They
ought to know that they cannot fool the
people always, and that honest men will
revolt from such methods when found
out. |
The whole thing is a Yankee idea, and
ran on the principal of a western land
boom; claim that you have a prosperous
tcwn, and men will move to it; as soon
as men move 10 the spot you will have a
town, Those who do not think for them
+selves often get caught in this way. -
R L
OUR HOME OWNERS.
There are 12,000,000 families in the
United Steates, and of this number near
ly two-thirds own their homes,
Anarchists and lawless men who come
here from Europe to stir up strife do not
understand our conditions. They come
from countries where the land is owned
by a few persons, and where the masses
are home owners.
Now, this makes a big difference. Ev
ery home owner is to this extent a capi
talist. eis interested in protecting the
rights of property, and in preserving law
and order. He can never have any sym
pathy with anarchy because he would
lose more than he would gain by a social
apheaval. .
The American home is our great bul
wark against disorder. It is planted
everywhere, and whether it is a stately
mansion in the city,a little cottaga in the
village, or a log cabin in the wilderness,
or nestling in some nook ¢n the moun
tainside, it is alive with the hum of indus
try and the laughter of children. There
is a family of God-fearing pecple in it
with an old-fashioned Bible, and out of
that home go the men and women who
build up the republic and shape its pub
lic opinion.
« That is the corner stone of our society,
and there is no anarchy, no lawlessness,
no wicked purpose lurking in its shad
ow,
~ God bless the American home! It will
yet purify our politics and restore the
reign of justice through a trinpmhant
democracy. It is the hostage we have
given to peace, and its sweetness und
light will conquer every evil thing that
stands in £he way of our peace and pros
perity,
ST R
CONSTITUTIONAL AMENDMENT.
Governor Gordon has issued his proc
lamation submitting to the voters at the
next October election, the question of
ratifying or rejecting four amendments
proposed to be made to the State Con
stitution, said amendments having been
agreed to by the action of the last leg
islature and now awiting the action of
the people.
- The first provides that the Legislature
shall convene annually instead of bi-en
nally as now fixed by the Constitution-
f (They do meet annually in fact if not in
theory--Editor.)
~ The second proposes to limit the
length of the sessions to fifty days in
each year and is perhaps a wholesome
amendment,
The third designs to shorten the ses
sions by allowing all local bills to ehar
ter railroads and banks to be read by
title only the first and second times.
This is a desirable amendment and
should be ratified by the people.
" The fourth of these proposed amend
ments is intended to deprive the Legisla
ture of the power to grant charters to
banks, railroads, canals, navigation, ex
press and telegraph’ companies and to
vest this power in the secretary of state
in such manner as shall be prescribed by
law,
We think this amendment is at least
of doubtful propriety as it centers vast
powers in the hands of one man whose
time is already occupied with important
duties. . At first blush, it oceurs to us
that it is safer for the people to control
this matter through their legislators, and
that it would be best to require all such
charters to be granted by the general
assembly and approved by the governor
as has been the invariable custom since
the organization of our State.
R
THE FORCE BILL.
In arecent interview with the Washing
ton correspondent of the Atlanta Jour
nal, Hon, Charles L. Moses stated some
forcicle truths which ought to be care
futly pondered over by third party ad
vocates,
The young congressman thought of
the force bill, and warmed up considera
bly as he contiuued:
“Watson said in an article in the July
Arena, that if the republicans were again
put in power by the next election it
meant goodbye to a government of the
pecple.
“Now, Mr. Watson knows that if the
democrats are no: put in power the re
publicans will be, Yet he is doing all
he can to bring about the very thing that
he says will put an en:d to popular gov
ernm._nt. He and every other leader
who is working tor the third party is in
directly aiding the republican party, and
for this crime they should be held ac
countable. :
“The greatest thing that ever hung
over a free people now hangs over the
south- in the shape of the force biil.
Republican success means the passage of
that bill. This will perpetuate tlie re
publican party in power, establish negro
domination in the south and probably
end in a revolution. Itis astounding to
see that in the veéry teeth of such a horri
ble calamity many of our people are go
ing with a third party ~hose only real
result will be in bringing this about.”
AMERIC AN politics need great leaders,
invincible in courage, wise in political
faith, stalwart and trve to patriotic con
victions, lovers of their country and
their countrymen, men who esteem pub
lic office as a public trust, men who give
the people decisive political measures
and be as large as the measure they con
tend for, and men who had rather be
right consistently and constantly than
to succeed. Not _only are such leaders
needed, but men to follow such leader
ship are neede 1,
Wno ever thought that any party in
this government would have attempted
to perpetrate its power by the force of
the bayonet! Although an effort is make
to conceal the real purpose of the -force
bill this is the milk that is in the cocoa
nut. It remains to be seen whether the
| people will sanction this stupendous
digression from the principles of democ
} racy embodied in the constitution of our
farmers, ‘

ONE of the si]ly threats of the Third
party in Georgia is to defeat Speaker
Crisp in tue third district, It is evenin
timated that they will beat him with Bil

ey
FEpERrRAL control of elections which
usurp the individnal suffrage rights of
the people. If the republican party is
successful in the coming national elec
tion, a law giving control of elections to
the government will be enacted.
ONE of the foremost politicians of the
tar heel state says the talk about Grover
Cleveland not being able to carry North
Carolina is simply absurd—that he will
roll up a majority of at least 95,000 in
the state.
Tue Atlanta Herald celebrated its

Tue third party say that they don’t
want state banks. No, nor anything else

EVERY vote given the third party in the

‘, ARGUMENT, not abuse, is the political
- weapon of statesmen.
The People Wish him.
Mr. E. Mercer, of Leary, brother of
our J. R. Mercer, is favorably spoken of
as a suitable person to represeit Calhoun
County in the lower Louse of the next
legislature. He is no aspirant for the
office, but it seems that his friends are
disposed to force him to enter the race,
for they consider him a safe man. The
Calhoun Courier says, ““if he is elected
by the party he will prove himself wor
thy and competent of the trust.”
i
Good -Times Ahead.
Everybody is interested in the crop
prospect. Well, our reopie are rejoicing
in the outlook. Never has there been a
brighter prospest of an avundant har
vest. Corn and cotton that has not been
neglected are superb. Potatoes, peas
and melons in abundance. Gardens
luxuriant, Fruit trees breaking down
under their heavy loads. We have much
to be thankful for.
L e
Outrageouns!
Chairman Carter, of the National Re
publican committee, says:
“A number of North Carolina Repub-
Ticans have convinced him that the state
will go republican on account of the
third party drift, from the democrats, if
they have money, and he says he is go
ing to give them both money and ora
tors.”
i Who Wants it?
The third party may be all right, we
hope that it is. But who under the
shining sun—with or without spots wants
this party? It seems to be a sort of
grass orphan without pride of ancestry
unless it can be fastended upon Jerry
Socks and Mrs. Lease.
It should be sent to the foundling’s

On a Preaching Tour.
Up to last Friday the Rev. W. T,
Clark had been toiling successfully for
the last three weeks in the cause of his
Master. Mr. Clark is active and aggres

work well wherever he is placed. He

day to fill an appointment at Dover,

Last Sunday at Macedonia.
Interesting religious services were held
at Macedonia church in this county, on
last Sunday. [he Rev. Mr. Blackshear
filled the pulpit of the church on that
day. The Primitive Baptist are strong
in their membership in this chureh, and
are ontspoken in their zeal for their de
nomination. ;
Moon-Light Picnic.
One of our society young men says he
is decidedly in favor of the contemplated
“Moon Taght Pienic.” Then what a
nice water melon sutting we can have,
with murmuring waters, bright moon
light, pretty girls, and happy boys. That
young man ought to be voted a success,
