Jpj» %rt\t <p&sm The Survival of the Fittest. WAYNESBORO. GA„ SEPT, 15, 1S00. Admiral Dewey and Tom Reed are carving up their dead silence and putting the same on ice. The effects of tho Hague Peace Conference has been working back ward ever since, says the Philadel phia Ledger. The threat “to tell the trusts” did not bring Mr. T. B. Reed to the stump for Hanna-Mack. Is Tom a sulker or a patriot? W’y yes of course he is. The mayor of Atlanta can repeat the old song with safety, •‘Got drunk last night; Was drunk tho night Ueiore; I’m good drunk right now, And I’ll be drunk some more.” The New York Livening Post, an anti-expansionist, has been quoting Geo. F. Hoar. If the quotation had leit out the name of Hoar all might have gone well, but the political empiric that refuses his own medi cine is hardly worth mentioning. There never was a time when the Republicans were so put to it for a defense. They haug the old ghost of 16,10 l out on all occasions- It is the very best they can do for a scare crow big enough for imperialism and trusts to hide behind. It will not do. The whole outside Ameri can world sees them through the gauzy specter, Carl Schurz says: “Even if it were that Bryan, if elected, would lead us into a revolution, such a revolu tion would not be nearly as danger ous as that which is inevitable un der a policy of imperialism. More over, the results of an internal revo lution could be softened down much sooner than the complete overthrow of the fundamental principles of our democracy.” President McKinley, who is fast developing into the very worst of political frauds, jumped quickly to a consent that Waldersee, the Ger man general, should command our forces in China. And pray what has Waldersee done but jun ket around Europe, taking farewell dinners and stately functional good- bys, while affairs in China waited on the titled commander’s pleasure. But McKinley has gotten in his ffne work on the German vote all the same, and he and his boss Han na smile blandly at the trick. He fails to see how ridiculous h.s atti tude in playing with imperial po tentates across the ocean. found safety in storm-pits, as they were called, but it was never resort ed to universally. Those who had suffered trusted that it would never happened again and left their desti nies in the hands of fate on the idea that tornadoes or lightniug would never strike in the same place twice. Galveston ha3 suffered, it may be, untold horrors from carelessness or neglect. Ulidville. Correspondence Citizen. Sept. 13.—Mr. Allen W. Jones has moved into his handsome new store.

Miss Sydney Jones, after a pleas ant visit to friends in Waynesboro, returned home Wednesday. The whistles of different ginner ies can be heard for mile9 around. “The full dinner pail” is rung for all it is worth by the Republicans of the North; but during all these years of McKinley in the South with 4-cent cotton not a sound was uttered to the poor struggling plan ter, white nor black, by trie prosper ous North about the full dinner pail. What infinite cheek these Northern Republicans have now in ringing it in the South and talking of McKinley prosperity after Goo Almighty has brought about cir cumstances that have given 10 cents cotton to our farmers who haven’t for years before known what the full dinner pail meant in this land of universal freedom; freedom that would let him starve to death on his own account while they talk of McKinley prosperity. Col. Roosevelt is bordering on the act of lugging in the old time bioody-shirt work. He begins to “hurl back with scorn” Mr. Bryan’s charge of governing the blacks in the Philippines without their con sent, and charges the disfranchising the blacks in the South. We know of no disfranchsing in the United States- Some states have election laws which require a voter to give his consent before he can vote and to prevent his being voted without Knowing whether ne has any con sent to give and what that consent is. It would be well to say- pertinent to say the least—that Roosevelt forgot to mention the fact that Georgia refused the law that oven hinted at disfranchising any of her citizens and that Geor gia is in the van of those states con demning the cruel warfare made on the poor Fiiipinos by American soldiers, driven from their own fire sides, butchered without mercy and whose property is looted while the poor wretches flee from death or lie slaughtered. No more unholy war was ever waged and Col. Roosevelt is a great humbug in trying to call off attention from these stubborn facts. that Galveston horror. Tbe storm that destroyed Galves-- ton ought to put the world to think ing very seriously. The storm of 3875 that proved so destructive to that city should have warned the in habitants of its reccurrence and make them solicitous for protection. It does not appear to have done so, aud every one lived as if he or she had seen the last storm that would ever visit the fated city. It seems al most incredible that tire people should have been lulled into a dream of security on the very edge of the sea with only six feet above the ocean level. This must be a mistake. Surely it was thirty or more feet above low tide. Be that as it may a wall of sand could have been constructed by the sea itself taking advantage of the wind and tides. The storm that proved de structive to hotels and private houses at Tybee a few years ago visited the force of wave power on those structures outside of the sand dunes that fortify the interior of the island from end to end. Nothing inside of these natural forts were injured. It is dedueible from this that any city like Galveston could have been saved from wave power in the same way if some one with skill could have in like manner used the sand to contrive tbe most pow erful obstruction to tbe waves. The people of Galveston seems to have done nothing, trusting to fate all they possessed on earth. Even the United States’ government left its soldiers exposed to death from sheer neglect or blind trust that nothing worse than the past could ever occur. When-frequent tornadoes began to play havoc with life and proper ty in the South and West a tew Ridge. Correspondence Citizen. Sept. 12.—Mrs. H. E.

Nothing is more uncertain than the duration of a single life, but nothing is more certain than the mortality of a given number ol lives. The greatest value of life in surance lies in the absolute certain ty of its calculations. It requires none of your time or attention and causes no care or worry. li strengthens your credit and is ab solutely yours. It goes where you wish it to go. It is “looking out for number one.” It is “salting away” something for a “rainy day.” It gives constant satisfaction that no other piece of property can produce for you. Life insurance is something more than a privilege—it is a necessity. It is a social, domestic and person al duty. It is incumbent on ever} man who has, or may have, some body else dependent on him. Life insurance is a creator of wealth, a defender ot home, and a provider against want. A life insurance pol icy in the Northwestern is to be de sired above all others.
