The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO. GA.. NOV. 3. 1900
The canvass in its fervor has call
ed forth a great many donkeys un
der lions’ skins who were resting
secure until they lifted up Iheir
voices.
Hon. Rufus E Lester, candidate
for congress from this district, was
in the county this week shaking
hands with his host of friend3. The
opposition to him here is practical
ly nothing.
The Georgia legislature on a jun
ketting jag has its only rival in a
half-rate “3Cussion.” The state of
Georgia can hang its head in sliamt.
Trying to hush it up, gentlemen,
only adds to the mortification. We
are for a session once every four
years.

RUFUS E. LESTER.
It i9 a matter of history now that
this part of the Bryan bailiwick has
not been scattered by the opinion?-
of Col. Al. Lawton respecting the
Democratic nominee. The only
question discussed is what conse
quence are Col. Lawton’s opinions
anyhow, and how much of the pop
ulation of the first congressional
district does he represent?
We are constantly apprised b>
one amateur astronomer or another
that the star of Bethlehem has come
to light again. One Daniel E
Parks, of Denver, Col., is the distin
guished new discoverer of the won
derful luminary that guided th
wise men to the Manger 1900 year?*
ago to look upon the new born Sav
ior. The thing is getting monoto
nous and stale; and such sensations
ought to be considered so much out
of date as to be really bad taste.Tfn
tales are too constantly to the front.
Let the amateurs wait awhile be
fore repeating this seusation; we
would suggest two thousand years
Holy writ ought to convince them
that the star of Bethlehem stood
alone in the universe as a miracle
to mark the greatest event that ev
er occurred In the universe’s exis
tence.
ROOSEVELT.
Every Democratic voter, in facl
every white man in the South ought
to be at the polls to vote for Bryan
against that creature, Roosevelt,
If the South could understand
this hater of the Soutli
and decency and odor, the people
here would appreciate Bryan’s no
hie defense of American liberty and
Americanism in all its entirety, ann
the vote in the South would be mort
solid than it ever was before for th°
the truths of Democracy. In Roose
velt’s campaigning he has demon
strated his utter incapacity to tell
the truth, or to argue a question de
cently. He could stop everywhere
to bandy words with people who
questioned him, as if he belonged
to bands of hoodlums. The idea of
having a vice-presidential black
guard ought to excite the alarm of
every decent white or black person
in the United States. How differ
ent the conduct of Bryan. Nobody
but a fool can call Bryau a dema
gogue, and nobody in the United
States can answer his arguments
He has never made a reply to any
one that was indecent or harsh and
never failed yet to answer instantly
and politely any question put to
him during his hundred of speeches
in the campaign.
So far as Roosevelt is concerned
the burden of his song all along has
been abuse of the South either di
rectly or indirectly. He justifies
the cruel Jdaily murdering of the
blacks of the Philippines by blam
ing North Carolina for disfranchis
ing the ignorant wretches that have
sought to wreck the state for 30
'years, which law operates as much
on that class of whites as it does on
blacks. Everybody to him is a traitor
who does not support the Phihppine
pilicy. No one dares to say that i
ia uDjust. If he does it’s treason
McKinley endorses him and Han
na is the king of them both. Now
take your choice.

marvel of completeness. It is per

dear in life hopeless and helpless

In another part of this issue is
published a ietter from another citi
zen of Eephzibah, Mr. J B. Fryer
Be sure and read it and see what
he says about the Northwestern.
You are setting in your homes to
day surrounded perhaps by your
bright and interesting familjv Can
you tell that you will be with them
ten years hence. If remorse of con
science can come to us after death
how the thought must sting when
we remember that we have left our
families either destitute or subject
to the influence of designing law
yers or predatory kinfolks who fat
ten upon the estates which are left
by husbands who should have pro
vided against such contingencies
If you contemplate taking out a
policy of insurance on your life be
sure to investigate the Northwes

A Village Blacksmith Saved His Little Sons
Life.
Mr. H. H. Black, the well known
village blacksmith at Grahamsville,
Sullivan Co, N. Y, says: “Our lit

been subject to croup, and so bad
have the attacks been that we have
feared many times that he would
die. We have had the doctor and
used many medicines, but Cham
berlain’s Gough Remedy is now our
sole reliance. It spcids to dissolve
the tough mucous and by giving
frequent doses when the croupy
symptoms appear we have found
that the dreaded croup is cured
before it gets settled.” There is no
danger in giving this remedy for it
