The Survival of the Fittest.
: WAYNESBORO, GA.. JULY 14, 1900.
Ex-Senator David B. Hill says
the Democratic nominees will be
supported by a united party. That
means success.
Some Democratic papers conlin
uo to shoot weak squibs ot D. B
Hill altho he has returned to th
-aarty unanimously and without
mental reservaii n.
Mr. Towne, tho not selected as a
running mate for Bryan, is not dis
gruntled. He promises to support
the Democratic nominees to tin
limit of his ability.
When we cease to recall the fact
that “eternal vigilance is the price
of liberty,” we are inviting the wol!
into the household. The demagog
may be of some use with his clattei
after all.
Is there a chicken trust? AVe
earnestly hope that our farmer!
will get all their produce is worth
but we note with satisfaction that
all are not enemies of the farmei
who draw the line at partridge-size
chickens for 20 cents apiece.
Just as anticipated. Beal busi
ness will begin in China by the al
lied powers only when the Georgia
mule gets there. He is about tt
start. No war preparations these
days are complete without the gen
uine, unabridged edition-de-luxe
Georgia mule.
And now we are to send troop!
to China. Step by step the foreigi
entanglement goes on. The “oper,
door” for China is something i(
laugh at if it were not so serious
It all comes of our intermeddling
with foreign nations, creating in
terests where we have no business.
On the subject of the Democratic
platform the JY. 3^. World says ir
one sentence: “In its presentatioi
of American principles and policies
in opposition to imperialism and
militarism the Democratic platforn
constitutes about as powerful a
campaign document as was ever
issued.”
The Columbia State calls atten
tion of the Charleston Post, the
Charlotte Observer, and other sc
called independent papers to the
following paragraph from the
Nashville American: “There art
‘independent’ newspapers we know
of that never have a word to say
against the Kepublican parly.”
There is no doubt about it, the ac
tion of the Kansas City convention
has put the Republicans awfully on
the defensive, Old Hanna gets out
of the effect of it on him by saying:
“It is a cunningly devised scheme
to catch votes.” This is more of aD
admission than it was eyen suppos
ed he would deign to make.
The Memphis Appeal says of the
Democratic platform: ‘‘We believe
that tho American people will find
far fewer dangers in this declara
tion of principles than in the Phila
delphia platform, which embodies
the black flag of the party of spolia
tion, hypocrisy and hishonor.” The
Appeal opposed Bryan before in
1896.
The report of another murder ol
a negro woman by a negro man
this week in this county should si
lence the negro from any complaint
about cruelty from whites towards
the race. Where are these black
murderers and why do not they
not help bring them to justice?
Why is life so cheap among them
selves?
The fact that cotton has reached
10 cents at this uncertain stage of
crop conditions rather warns the
South of the insidious hand of the
Northern speculator. The matter is
just in the fix that the speculator in
the New York exchanges most
desire, viz: uncertainty, and the
Southerner who either buys or sells
is in the hands of the thief and
robber.
The Boston Traveler, independ
ent Republican, declares: “The 16
to 1 ratio is endorsed by the plat
form, but it is relegated to the com
parative obscurity forced upon it
by the rise of other, greater, and
more pressing issues. The ‘para
mount issue of the campaign,’ defi
nitely declared to be such by the
platform, i s imperialism. Upon
this platform every lover of his
country, be he Democrat or Repub
lican, should be proud to stand
with William Jenning Bryan.”
The Georgia delegation to Kansas
City can justly claim the honor of
nominating Stevenson for second
place. The delegation from Illinois,
recognized the efforts of Georgia to
honor the great Illinois Democrat
and before leaving Kansas City
visited our delegation and accord
ing to the Atlanta Constitution said
to them: “ ‘Georgia was the first to
assure us or support,’ said the dele
gation’s chairman, ‘and the best
thanks we can offer the great
stronghold of Democracy in the
South is to give our pledge that Ill
inois will go like Georgia in the
election,”

An overworked engineer went to
-deep on his box on an engine of
the Seaboard Air Line and neglect
ed orders. A head end collision
between freights resulted. Inhu
manity is to blame for it.
GEORGIA’S PROFOUND PEACE.
There is hardly an opening for 8
stump speech in Georgia in this
campaign. Who have we to con
vince in the state? There never
was a time perhaps in which the
people were more profoundly one
sided than now. Ignatius Donnal-
ly’s following will be so small it
will be insignificant, and as to the
Vw little, old, dried up, office-seek
ing and office holding Republicans
they will count in Georgia no
more now than before. There are
just enough of the latter to keep
up a healthy hate of Republican
ism,
THE SPECTRES.
Speaking of the Standard Oil
trust is it possible to conceive ■-
more tyrannical organization?
And yet it cannot b6 suppressed.
One Rockafeller is able to disposi
of every small industry in oil and h
wholly a monopolist controlling Ihe
pi ice of oil without the least possi
bility of competition. The immense
amount of money that every min
ute flows into the hands of thai
concern makes it possible for the
insatiable commorants to control
the very bread that every poor mar
as well as rich mu3t have, and it is
an ever present menace to our gov
ernment, Undoubtedly this ad
ministration has given U3 two of the
most dangerous questions, imperial
ism and trusts, that ever threaten
ed us, They are spectres of Ameri
can liberty.
THE CONVENTION AND PLATFORM.
The convention at Kansas City,
which may be called the 4th of Jul\
convention, was one of the most
aoted and one of the most
important ever held by the Demo
cratic party. It had issues to define
and clearly make that are so vital
in their importance, it may well b(
said the effort was to rehabilitate
the original government of the peo
ple which under Republican con
trol had been almost set aside oj
trampled under foot.
It was one of the largest, If nol
the largest, ever convened by the
Democratic party. That itself ex
hibited the earnest desire of the
true people of the country to rein
state democracy once more, and
showed as well the alarm at the
condition in which the Republican
party has placed the people’s gov
eminent. It is now a certainty,
that, if the Democrats do not sue
ceed in reinstating the old govern
ment, the form of it will change
The present Hanna government is
not the one left by the statesmen
and fathers of the republic, not b
drop ol whose blood is in Hanna’s
vein’s. The single spectacle of a
man like this boss taking charge ol
a great convention and controlling
it as tho he absolutely owned it
ought to rouse the people to desper
ation if nothing else loomed up to
create alarm.
The Democratic convention at
Kansas City was equal to the occa
sion. It has in a platform set forth
the true conditions of the country
and its needs. It was the earnest
work of true patriots who will not
tamely submit to the gross changes
being made by plutocratic trusts
and pseudo-aristocrats who are cen
tralizing the governing power in a
few. The South needs no argu
ment or stump speaking to persuade
its support of tlie nominees and the
platform. Our section is really the
bulwark of Americanism In these
United States and it ip not prepar
ed to depart from the original gov
ernment any more to-day than it
was when the constitution was
made. Georgia is as solidly in line
with its sisters as she ever was, and
her majority for Bryan and Steven
son will be the usual one.
If the Northern and Western
people are not entirely given over
to slavery of trusts and the glare of
imperialism, we shall see the Han
na - McKinley - Roosevelt comb n
overwhelmingly defeated. Let us
hope there is enough left to save
the country from the greatest fu
ture trouble.

July 9th.—Corn crops are good.
So much rain has fallen that cot
ton has made a very large weed,
but has little fruit.
Crops are generally clean.
The melon crop is short and mel
ons are bringing fancy prices; the
peach crop is very good; pears and
apples are a failure.
