THE NEWDS DAWSON, GA, i T e m WHAT WILL WATSON DO2 It i= bhard to tell by reading bis organ what Tom Watson intends to do. Of eourse he intends to contest the election, but aside from that what business will ke engage in, and what sort of politics will he indulge in? There is a ring of uncertainty in the following extract from his leading edito rial: In spite of moncy, whisky, intimida tion and lies, in spite of every democrat je orator and newspaper, our vote con stantly grew larger und solider, until we went to Augusta with the largest major ity any campaign ever carried these. In most of the old counties in my dis trict the democrals were exterminated. They are reduced to a handful in the towns, and these lonely sorelieacs have to go by the telegraph office every day te get comtort and ¢ncouragement. No fair-minded man doubts who got the majority of the votes. Even demo erats do not scricusly deny that Mr, Black’s apparent mijority is due to the transparent frauds in Augusia. : The contest which I have already com menced will show this beyond all ques tion, and I will not further discuss it. 1 feltit my duty to enter the contest; it is for the people to say whether it shall go on. If they submit this time they sub mit for good. 1f they submit to have the Augusta ring steal the place this time it will be sto en every time. The eountry will be nothing, The city ring will be boss. No man {rom the country weuld ever represent this district agaiu. LS AN ALLIANCE rROFOSED. The Macon Teilegraph has received a eopy of the Streater, 1l Free Press, a strong republican paper, in which the f: llowing editorial is marked: | Woaver cleims the republican party will never be able to successfully con duct another campaign. 1v bas a record of victories and achievemenis anparalicl ed in the history of parties. 1v has ele vated bumunity, advanced ecrvilizatio n, aided progress, won prospenty and per petuated pational existeuce. But to! what condition has it come at las 2 1t has one inberent weakness, Liberal as it hus been in all other particulars iv has done nothing to win the contidence or respect of the souithern people. When it liberated the slave it turned loose up- | en the south 4,000,000 negroes who had | been reared in bondage, who by birth | and circumstance were ignorant and de praved. It irvested this black popula tion with the ballot, and raised it to the full level of American citizenship, Af ter the period of reconstruction and its attendant evils came the negro regime. The ignorant klack wis entrusied with the conduct of affairs, and responsibi i ties devilved upon him which demanded the highest order -of s'alesmunship. As a resuit of the most notorious misrule, corruption, political and social degrada tion czme vie Ku-Klux. Through traud e¢rime and intimication, the last resort of a desperate people, the mtelligent mi- | nority again acceded to power and con trol. ‘Phe ill temper of the north over the pracrical disfranchisement of the ne gro tound expression in ihe force bill, which again menaced the peace and good erder ot the south, and the democricy of that section was further soliditiea. Representing in their respeetive sections the wealth, culture, intelligence, prog ress and patriotism, the democerats of the south and the republicans of the north should stand tog ther for all that is best | —for naticnal character and naticnal de fense. Withont at least a portion of the | south no party can ever again attain na- l tional victory. The large cities of the | north —Chicage, Brooklyn, New York and others— the most striking examples l of misrule—can neaily always be relied | upon to give duomoeratic majoiities larg er than the respecrive states can over come, The great west and nurth\\'mr,i with its popnlation nearly «ne-third f r eign boyn, cannot te reiad upon to fur- | ther coniribute to republican success. To the south must the republicwn or i any other party- appeal for support and | strength. There as elsewhere the better 1 elements must be protected from the worst, anl when this fact is duly 1t cog- ! nized by northern sentiment there will be estabiished a bend of union that now { scems almost necessary for the preservi tion of the common institations ot this tair country. N hile the black cloud that overspread the south has been at least temporarily dispersed with force and viclence, another, more threatening, arises in the east, from which pours the spawn of Southcrn Europe, lessening the average of intelligence, wealth and mor als, diluting the life biood of the nation and poisoning the arteiics of free gov ernment, S NEVER scold those who have faithful ly tried to do tbeir duty, but have failed to accomplish it; the failure is all the re buke they need. Even thatis haid to bear. Encourage them to try again, and give them a helping hand, A word or a bit of help may be ali they need to ehange failuve into success the next time they trv. Do not withhold the help mwj the word. : l ks | “Tuor happy couple will reside at the i home of the liide’s parents,”” is the way % an exchange winds up a marriage notice. | That old gentleman has, indeed. adopted ] a son-in-law.

THE GAMBLER'S DEBT. A Game of Life and Death -But the Miner Got the Drop on Him. From Short Stories. Sixteen months of hard tunneling and I'e had reached the bonanza, As he stood gloating over the richesi ore lis eyes had cver feasted on, hie beeame conscious of a presence, and turning saw the tall trom of ~ . “L,one Brown,” the gambler. e was about to- speak when a dull romble was borne in on their ¢a.s and atr mor shook the earthr as pieces of lovscned rock fel” at tieir feet, Both kney what it meant, DBrown went back a few rods with his lantern and returve | with a blanched face. “We are shut in by a cave and it may take days to dig us oui!’ After ajpause he continued: ¢ HHow long wlll your provisions last?” “pour days —forone.” “hen I'll be the one.” The click of his weapon sounded throu,h the drift as he covered his old enemy. “Have ycu apack of cards?’ said the other, quictly. *‘lf so, let's play a game of draw, with the gun for the stakes.” They gazed in each other’s eyes for a few moments, Brown had never taken advantage of mortal man; He would no do it now. ite produced a pack of cards from s pocket, He alw: ys cariied them. The cambler drew three cards;so did the miner. “Queens,’’ “Aces,’’ The gambler tooked asec. nd at his op p nents hand as it was laid down. “You win,” he said quietly, and lLe lifted the weapon. - Ciick, click, Bang! His boly luiched forward, sprawling over the cards, after the smothed report. ‘e miner, with a look of horror on his face, litted the lantern and held it over the body. As he shook Lis sleeve four cards fluttered dywn on the prestrate figure. « It wvas a close shave,” he said, ‘‘out [ downed him!’ Catarrh, Not Locatl, But Constitutional. Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston physician, in a magazine ariicle, says: “A radical error underlies nearly all medical treatment «f catarb, It i not a discase of the man’s nose; it is a disease of the man, showing itsell in the nose—a local exhibition of a eonsti tution:l tronble.” Therefore, heargues, the use of snuff and otber local applica tions is wrong, and while they seem to cive temporary relicf, they lealiy do more harm than good. Oiher leading cuthorities agree with Dr. Lewis. Hence, the only projer method of cure tor ci irrrh is by taking a constitutional rem edy like Hood's Sarsaparilla, which, te ching every part of the body throvgh the blood, does eliminae all impurities and makes the whole man healthier. It removes the cause of the troubie and re stores the discased membrane to proper condition. That this is the practical re sult is proven by thousands of people who have been eured of catarrh by taki- g Hood's Sarsaparilla. e : That Terrible Cough In the morning hurmed or difiicalt breath.ng, raising phiegm, tightness in the chest, qnickened pulse, chilliness in the evening or sweats at nicht, allor any of these things are the first stages of consumption.
