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. Democratic Ticket. (Election Day Nov. Gth, 1900.) For President: WILLIAM J. BRYAN. For Vice-President: ADLAI E. STEVENSON. For Presidential Electors. At Large: AUGUSTUS DuPONT. FULTON COLVILLE. 1st District —Walter W. Sheppard 2d D : strlct—C W. Fulwond. 3d District— W.

Kimsey. 10th District—T. E. Massengale. 11th District—A. E Cochran, For Representative in the Fifty- seventh Congress of the United States for the First Congressional District of Georgia. 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 The thing is getting monoto nous and stale; and such sensations ought to be considered so much out of date as to be really bad taste.Tfn tales are too constantly to the front.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. Re-Union Third Georgia Regiment, C. S. A. Comrades: —The meeting of Geor gia Division Confederate Veterans in Augusta in the month of Novem ber, proximo, will afford an oppor (unity for a reunion with your old comrades in arms.

E D. Giddens. New Insurance Policy Issue by the Northwestern. It is a marvel of completeness. It is per haps the most interesting and com plete policy issued by any iife in surance company in this country and appeals to the common senseof. every man who wishes to provide ; against contingencies which would leave those whom he holds most dear in life hopeless and helpless afler death 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 tern.

Black, the well known village blacksmith at Grahamsville, Sullivan Co, N. Y, says: “Our lit tle son, five years old, has always 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.
