EXTREMELY EVASIVE.
Tar NEws wanted to say a few words
in reply to Editor Mclntosh this week,
but as the copy of the Albany Herald
containing the article which we would
briefly notice kas been misplaced, we
. desist until it can be found. This is be
cause our over-particular but esteemed
neighbor charges unfairness when any
eomient is made upon his utterances
without reproducing them.
Really, there was nothing in the Her
ald’s article to warrant serious attention.
Our contemporary had charged, possibly
thoughtlessly and unintentimly did so,
that in the campaign of 1892 the demo
cratic party in this district was on the
verge of disintegration, and that had not
it and one of the candidates thrown
themselves deep into the conflict the
nomination of the party ‘‘would not be
worth scrambling for today.”
When it is remembered that there
were but two candidates for the con
gressional nomination in 1892, the
Herald necessarily seriously reflects
upon the party fealty and political hon
esty of one of those candidates, and also
upon a very large per cent. of the loyal
democratic voters of the district. Not
believing that the Herald intended to do
80, and not wishing to do it an injustice,
Tar News suggested thatit make it
meaning a trifle clearer. Our contempo
rary evaded the point, seeming not to
vnderstand it (‘‘there are none S 0
dull of comprehension as those who do
not want to understand’’), and replied in
alot of generalities entirely foreign to
anything said by Tue NEWws.
The som-what remarkable and decid
" edly evasive remarks of the Herald will
be reproduced in our next issue, In the
meantime our escegimed neighbor is
urged to pull itself together long enough
to makeits meaning a bit clearer on the
'p()ijt at issue.
i%‘ G B
THE PEOPLE ARE TO BLAME.
The people are as much to blame as
the members of congress and state legis
latures for the many errors of omission
and commisson of those mueh abused
bodies.
They give the selection of candidates
little or no thought until John Smith and
Dave Jones announce themselves candi
dates for congressional and legislative
honors. Then it is 100 late. The peo
ple ' = v that Smith and Jones are not
fit “u; (e places, but they want them
and nobody else offexs. So they f.ll into
line and help elec’ men whom they know
X 0 be incompetent, and then find fault
with them later because they did not do
what they knew all the time they were
incapable of dving.
No man is competent for the place he
can serve the public in without personal
sacrifice. If he is of any account at
hom-, he cannot afford to lezve his busi
‘mess. If heis no account at home, he
will be sure to maintain bis place in a
Tegislative body.
If we ever sesure the legislation we
want it will be when the people wake up
¢4tfieir interests and duties, and when
" they appeal to the patriotism of compe
tent men and induce them to give a por
tion of their time and efforts in order
that the country may be benefitted.
Really, competent men are notan
pouncing themselves and g.ing about
secking the office. They canspend their
time more profitably.
A HIGH ENUORSEMENT,
The Atlanta Journal is correctly of the
opinion that ao hLigher tribute has beewu
paid to General C. A. Evans than anat
tack on his candidacy for governor
which appears in the New York Adver
tiser, the most vindicative and most per
sistent slanderer of the south to be found
in the entire list of American newspa
pers.
Whenever the Advertiser praises a
southern man it is proof |, ositive that he
neither has nor deserves the respect of
the people among whom he lives. Its
abuse of a southern man is good
" evidence that he represents the best so
cial and politieal elements in the south.
God save Georgia from having a govern
or who will win the approbation of the
New York Advertiser.
Toumorrow is the day appointed for
Mitchell and Corbett to slug each other
down in Florida. But if the boys fight
at all, they will fight in a swamp, as the .
governor has already made a great deal
.of reputation by his stand, and he does
mot propose now to have:gknpmflon,
to borrow of the ring, ‘“pulled off.” So
we think it looks dark for the Duvals.
Ir Mr. Atkinson’s friends will lay
their auricular appendages on the ground
and listen to the tramp of the Evans
hosts as Ythey measure their tread from
Habersham to Camden, and from Nicka
jack to Tybee, they will not only find
the old veterans, but the sons of veterans,
“in mutual well beseeming ranks march
ing all one way.”
Tre Cincinnati Enquirer prints a story
about a hog who ate two quarts of nitro
glycerine and strayed into a stable where
he was kicked by a horse. In the explo
sion which followed, hog bristles were
blown through a three-inch oak board.
This ought to wake up the Milan liar.
Epitor McINTasH, our good neighbor
down at Albany, has doubtless had con
vincing proof that THE NEWS was not
“gpeculating’’ i;) regard to at least some
of the probable congressional candidates.
Editor Mclntosh was merely hoping that
we were ‘‘speculating.”
BiLLy NyYNN (more properly Wind),
ap in Houston county, is experiencing
no lack of interest in the gubernatorial
campaign. A gallant old ‘‘confed’ has
made a charge upoun him that complete
ly knocked him out,
Mg. T. F. Pruert will begin the pub
lication of the Thowmasville Advertiser.
Mr. Pruett is an old newspaper man of
‘established reputation, and a good paper
i ie assured.
~ HorNBLOWER's nomination was reject
‘ed in the senate by a vote of twelve dem
) ocrats, fifteen republicans and three
populists. Eighteen democrats and six
republicans voced to confirm.
MR. CLEVELAND is not, nor will he be,
responsible for the faiiure of congress to
enact into law the pledges and demands
of the democratic platiorm,.
RepcrTs from all parts of the state in
dicate that the gubernatorial raceis not
much. of a race after all. The peo‘plf\
are all one way.
THE income tax seems to be in danger.
We hope the democratic causus will in
corporate it into active life just as soon
t comes together.
Pass the Wilson bill. Repeal the ten
per cent. tax, Put a duty on incomes.
And do it at once, dear congressmen.
Eprror McINTosH seems determined
to ‘“‘open an early campaign.”” He may
wish he hand’t in a little while.

is under obligation to Congressman Ben
Russell for a package of seeds.

A Race of Giant Cannibals.
Unlikely as it may seem tosome who
read these lines, it is a fact neverthe
less that there is an island in the gulf
of California, not more than 60 miles
from the Mexican mainland, which ig
inhabited by the remnants of a race of
giant cannibals. This startling discov
ery was made by a west coast natural
ist early in 1891 and has since been
confifmed by both United States and
Mexican explorers. Mr. Mc¢Namara,
the secientist referred to, has a photo
graph of one of the men found by him
on the island, that individual, although
not one of the largest, being over 7 feet
in height. The island upon which they
were found is known as the island or
isle of Leri, and the original discoverer
says that there is every evidence of can
' nibalism among them.—St. Louis Re

THIRD PARTY PEOPLE IN COUNCIL,
They £'o nise to Liven Up Political Mat
ter in the Near Future.
A special from Atlanta says: The gath
ering here of the state committee Of the
tli-d party has created a good deal ot
talk a.id it looks as if political matters
would begin to liven up in the very near
future. The members of the third party
committee aked with a great deal of
assurance about what they were going to
do, ard it is no exaggeration to say that
they seem confident of making a very
~trong fight in the state this year. If
t iere is any jossibilities of winuing
"hem back with honeyed words and nice
p omises there is no indication of that
‘possibility now. The fact of the matter
‘is the third party is in itgthis year for a
fight to thedeath, Their leaders profess
; to believe that there is a better chance
than they have ever had before, and they
propose to organize thoroughly and
make the liveliest kind of a fight, which
'means that the democrats will have to
prepare for a sure enough battle for
supremacy. ;

News Notes.
In the northwestern part-of Colorado
there is a region several hundred square
miles in extent which is literally a vast
deposit of petrified fish of all sizes and
shapes. These fish heds—shaule, con
taining fish remains—ure about 150 feet
i thickness and extend up and down the
Green river for a distance of 150 to 200
miles.
The greatest swarm of locusts ever
known invaded South Africa in 1797.
They were driven into the sea by a north
wind,and the waves throwing them back,
a bank of dead locusts from three to six
feet thick was formed for sixty miles
along the coast, It must have been a
pretty good year for locusts.
The suffering during the recent reign
of the Ice king in England and on the
continent has been awful. Wagons were
abandoned in the streets of Lond/ n and
great numbers perished in the beare of
ih -t big city from the cold, which was so
orent that the charity of the kindly dis
posed did nnt reach and warm them.

BROKEN DOWN
—by disease is the natural result if
you allow your liver to become in
active, your blood impure, and your
system run down.
« The germs of Consumption, Grip,
or Malaria, wait for this time of
weakness—this is their opportunity.
If you rouse the liver to activity,
so it will throw off these germs,
purify the blood so there will be no {
weak spots ; build up healthy weight
where there is a falling off, you will
rest secure from discase, for you’ll
be germ-proof.
Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis
covery does this as nothing else can.
That’s ihe reason it can be guaran
teed. In convalescence from pneu
monia, fevers, or other wasting dis
eases, it’s an appetizing, restorative
tonic to build up needed flesh and
strength.
For all diseases of the liver or
'blood if “Discovery” fails to benefit
or cure, you have your money back.

Following this a sore came on her right side be

After she had taken oune-half bottle we could sce
that she was better. We continued until she
had taken three bottles. Now she looks like
