JP« §rue §ifizen. 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,” ~? fEM—E—HMEWP——P——— 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. Claxton, Correspondence Citizen. 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. Miss Annie Meade, a lovely young lady of this place, is visiting in Waycross, Is BabyThin this summer? Then add a little SCOTT'S EMULSION to his milk three times a day.

The dottors had given up all hopes of recovery. 1 took a bottle of Chamberlain’s Colic Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy to the house, telling them I felt sure it would do good if used according to directions. In two days time the child bad fully recovered. The child is now vigorous and healthy.
