lu Jfra* Citizen. The Survival of the ittest. WAYNESBORO, GA„ APRIL 28, 1900. Good-bye Clark !You and Quay may “shake” now. Boodle lost this time and the senate has done itself great honor. “Turn the rascals out,” and mark Hanna. last Capt. O. M. Carte*, tin ted thief of more than a mii- a half dollars, goes to Fori jrth to serve a sentence of Six years for $1,600,000 ee! The fact that the noted Matt Quay has been hurled from the sen ate shows that even a boss with Im perial authority can go in the ring “once too often” even in boss-ridden Pennsylvania. The country, while indebted to the senate for its one majority, yet with more justice can doff its hat tn ex-F. M. general John Wanamaker, who really was the man that put Quay in the hole. If we had Candlers all over the state there would not be another lynching in Georgia—even if every court house was packed with Lee Langleys a mile deep. GIRARD. The murderers of Gov. Goebel the Democratic martyr, are havin a very unpleasant time at present With the would be governor Taylor in flight and Howard, the principal conspirator and murderer in the bushes, the fire seems to be getting very warm behind them. What dark and gloomy future is before them! No one can envy their des perate ambition and bloody-mind ed disregard of rights and laws. Let the law grind out full justice and avenge the outraged people Kentucky. of One of the most .curious feature? of sentimentalism seems to have broken out in America over the famine in Great Britain’s India pos sessions. The curious part is, thi country is to support the famine stricken districts of British India while Great Britain spends several million dollars a week destroying brave little Republic in South Afri ca. Looking upon this from a fin* de seicle point of view it is really unaccountable, and the question naturally arises where does QueeD Victoria sl?,nd as a humanitarian. No clearer or more decided in stance of the power of the trust? over the Republican party and the majority in the present congres has ever been exhibited than in the passage of the Porto Rican tariff measure. The infamy of the whole business was made so plain by the opponents on the Democratic side and some few Republicans, who still have consciences, that nothing remains but the people’s verdict at the ballot box to brand it as infam ous and to take away all power from such a dangerous conspiracy The Augusta Chronicle defines to our liking the duties of those who vote in the Democratic primaries The voter who goes to the poll? with anything of a mental reserva tion is dishonos-. He is to abide the result unless sudden death pre vents. If he fails to do so he com mits a sin that is certain to find him out sooner or later, and it will brand him the balance of his life. Every body in this country has a right to select his party and vote with it There is no dishonesty in that. His judgment may be the subject ol criticism, but his honesty is not questioned. When he acts in party primary he promises and pledges, his word to stand by the result and he does it of his own volition, deceit or treachery in his action is rarely ever forgiven. STATE UNIVERSITY. Chancellor Walter B. Hill, of the State University, is moving in the right direction. He is calling at tention to the advantages of this great old institution of learning personally to the citizens of Geor gia, He shows how all classes and all denominations are interested in sustaining it and why for the honor of the state and its usefulness it should be upheld. Every young man in Georgia who desires a Uni versify education should personally communicate with him. There is no sectarianism about it and it i? an institution wholly in the interest of Georgians, and one Georgian is as much at home there as another. TBE GREAT CRIMINAL LAWYER. One Mr. Lee Langley, who rush ed into print and beats the Consti tution out of a good lot of free ad vertising as a great criminal law yer complains at the same time that Judge Candler did not wait on him to work off his immense legal business sq that he could have time to find out that Rogers, the wife murderer was a poor Flannagan parinoac, and thus delay that jus tice due to society in Atlanta par ticularly and the state generally. It is of some consolation to the state that one judge on the superi or court bench wili not suffer any tricks to delay justice In his court; and it is a matter of congratulation to the state that? Atlanta juries are men of such sterling character and such firm believers in law, order and justice that they do not allow desperadoes and cruel murderers to escape their crimes no matter if ihey are white. Some Interesting Items From This pro gressive Little Town. April 26.—Mr.Chas.Mims, a work man on Mr. W. R. Buxton’s build ing a few days ago fell and is seri ously hurt. Mr. B. F.

We extend our best wishes for suc cess in his chosen Work and field. Prof J. H. Roberts, our efficient County School Commissioner, visit ed our school a few days since. He vas well pleased with our new building, and thinks the money was viseiy expended. Several of our citizens attended the Masonic rally at Girard on the 14th. They report a good dinner, enjoyable time, and last but not least, a superfluous abundance of candidates. J I. Cason, Prothonofary, Wash ingington, Pa., says, “I have found Eodol Dyspepsia Cure an excellent remedy in case of stomach trouble, ind have derived great benefit from its use.” It digests what you eat ind cannot fail to cure. ir. B. mc- Master. Roundlap Rale Made Cotton Higher. Wherever The American Cotton Company’s Roundlap presses were operated last season higher price? prevailed for cotton whether baled round or square. In order to get cotton, square bale buyers were obliged to pay more than market price, and more than cotton was selling for in neighboring towns where there was not a Roundlap plant. In some cases the premium paid by square box ginners in com petition with Roundlap gins dur ing the greater part of the season was as much as half a cent per pound above the price ruling at other old style gins in the same county. The inevitable result fol lowed. Cotton (and the owners’ trade with it) was drawn for long listances to Roundlap points to the profit of the entire community, and at the profit of the entire commun ity, and at the expense of towns that did not enjoy the advantage of round bale competition. The effect of such object lesson has been a demand for Rouniap presses for next season which will cax the full capacity of The . Amer ican Cotton Company’s work run ning day and night. W. H. Shipman, Beardsley,Minn., under oath, says he suffered from dyspepsia for twenty-five year?. Doctors and dieting gave but little relief. Finally he used Kodol dys- pesia cure and now eats wbat he likes and as much as he wants, and he feels like a new man. I digest? what you eat. —Have your orders for whiskey filled promptly by ordering from Paul Heymann, Augusta, Ga. SOUTHERN RAILWAY. -gn, ^3fr Central Time at Jacksonville and Savannah.

Democrats Carry State by Large Ma jority—Light Vote Polled. New Orleans, April 18.—The Demo crats elect every one of their senators and representatives. The storm inter rupted communication with many of the country districts, but such returns as have been received indicate Demo cratic majorities, and it looks as though the two Republican tickets together had received not over 15,090 votes, a Demo cratic majority of 3 to 1. The total vote will scarcely exceed 60,- 000 against 207,000 a year ago and with a total registration of 140,000. The state senate will be unanimously Democratic, and the house of 105 mem bers will contain about three Populists and two Republicans. This assures the re-election of McEnery to the United States ang M. J. Foster to succeed Sena- ator Caffrly. Democrats Carry New Haven. New Haven, April 18.—The annual election of city and town officers resulted in a complete victory for the Democratic candidates. No mayoralty candidate was voted for. The Democratic majori ties range from 2,000 to 2,300 and are the largest in years. The Democrats have control of both branches of the common council- Lv. Columbia Ar. Spartanburg. “ Asheville Ar.
