The Survival of the Fittest.
WAYNESBORO. GA.. DEC. 1, 1900
An occasional echo from the elec
tion about the death of silver is still
heard. One from Senator Teller
faintly reminds the over confident
gold bug that silver is not dead.
Gen. Wheeler ad vocates the re
tention of the Philippines and as it
cannot be done without killing out.
the original people, of course to
be consistent, he wants them al!
killed. He knows Uncle Sam is in
the killing business to stay.
The burning of the negro Preston
Porter, of Colorado, is but another
instance of the fact that humanity
is moved by the same impulses ev
erywhere. These instances answer
numberless diartibes against the
South from northern sources.
The greatest repub’ic that ever
was, stands by and tacitly applauds
the infamous wrong that has almost
annihilated a brave and honorable
people. In all the annals of time
no greater wrong has been inflicted
on a nation more inoffensive than
the Boers. Their insolation left the
world without a cause to even cov
et their peaceful homes. For years
quietude in poverty left them to
themselves insought and unenviad.
Alas for Boerland when gold was
discovered in the Transvaal. The
British tasted it. It is destined to
be free no more. In its weakness
the English vulture has fallen upon
it and rended it iD pieces, ‘ Is there
no hand on High to shield the
brave?”
The cry is in vain. Selfish nations
of Europe with powerful armies
watch each other like ravening
wolves, but let this little wronged
uation of South Africa perish by
peacemeals before the eyes of all
humanity. Christianity has no pow
er to raise a voice against it; or the
voice is so weak it is utterly impo
tent for good.
Great old man; to the last faithful
the
nemies of right and the supporters
i of tyranny are awed before your
sublime resistancel Faith in prov
idence aud the interference of a
true God of justice is supreme in
your heart; may it avail you ore
the last blood of your people sinks
into the soil of the Transvaal!
A DEBAUCHED BALLOT.
The Augusta Chronicle, always a
champion of fair elections, speak
ing of the purchasing of votes
among the whites in the primaries, j true to your people, even
asks:
•‘Is the white voter who sells his
vote any more fit to choose public
officers than the negro who sells his
at a lower price? If both are will
ing to vote whichever way they are
paid to vote, is either to be trusted
in giving direction to the interests
of a growing and developing city?
However loath we may be to admil
it, the voters in a community who !
have its highest interests at heart
are in the minority when on the
other side are ranged the scheming j
politicians who regard public office |
as a private snap and the purchas-!
able voters whom they can control. j
So much admitted, a more serious
question arises: Shali the minori
ty'. who have the advancement and
bsst interests of the communily at
heart, surrender the town to the
control of the scheming and ambl
tious majority, or go down in their
pockets,fight the devil with fire,and
buy enough votes to put the best
men in control?”
It is a sad thing that some of our
best citizens justify themselves by
this argument. Whenever society
Is reduced to the necessity of doing
evil that good may come it is bor
dering on disruption and anarchy
There can be no argument to justi
fy debauching the ballot. The poor
ignorant fool who tampers with his !
freedom aud civil rights by selling i
his ballot to the highest bidder
should not handle so precious agift,
nor should those who purchase the
vote be allowed to hold offices. But
the best are in a minority, as the
Chronicle says and the outlook is
gloomy when one thinks ot reform
ing the ballot box. This is the lon
gest step towards plutocracy that
has been made. Practically the
whole government is in the hands
of the money power as soon as vote
buying can control the ballot box.

PAUL KRUGER.
There are American sympathis
ers with British cruelty and injus
tice toward the sublime old patriot
Paul Kruger and his unflinchingly
courageous and patriotic people
Thi3 must be a rankling dart in the
hearts of those of our people who
still hate tyranny with its oppres
sion of power; those who love a
government of a free and independ
ent people must feel a deep despair
over popular government.
To us this attitude of Americans is
a mystery that we cannot under
stand. This easy unresisted drift
ing toward imperialism lessens
faith in the progress of a free gov
ernment.
Here are the Boer people who. in
every possible way have endeavor
ed to avoid British rapacity and in
terference in a government made
by themselves in a territory to
which Great Britain had no just
claim save that of brute force and
thy right of might. British greed
followed like a black vulture and
to-day that noble, splendid old pa
triot Paul Kruger is a wanderer far
from his own home and his beloved
people seeking the aid of selfish dy
nasties.
Nobody knows all about it;
and nothing, now known, will
always cure it.
Doctors try‘Scott’s Emul
sion of Cod Liver Oil, when
they think it is caused by im
perfect digestion of food.
You can do the same.
It may or may not be caused
by the failure of stomach and
bowels to do their work. If
it is, you will cure it; if not,
you will do no harm.
The way, to cure a disease
is to stop its cause, and help
the body get back to its habit
of health.
When Scott’s Emulsion of
Cod Liver Oil does that, it
cures; when it don’t, it don't
cure. It never does harm.

The Theatre This Week
The town was entertained by the
Core Rooke Co., for three nights this
week at the Academy Auditorium
-Monday, Tuesday a u d —
Wednesday evenings. They aver
aged above by many degrees, thej
exhibitions that usually come ever j
our way. The play Monday night!
was a melo-dramatie, well-placed
love story in which the dark villain
figured, constantly pursuing the
sweet, lovely and faithful heroine
until at last right and morals tri
umph over evil, leaving everybody j
pleased with the denouemeut, There [
were no harrowing death scenes,
and a little bit of the spice of assault
with intent to murder which comes
up to give decided accent to the
climax in the two last scenes. It
was a clean, healthy play, and the
acts every one might have been
witnessed by a minister of the gos
pel without detriment to his cloth
or his morals. There was this first
night, a very fine well behaved au-
d ence; a very select attentive one;
one highly appreciative of the hon
est efforts made by the people on
the stage to please them. There
could be no objections to the audi
ence save that some ladies insisted
on wearing high hats that nothing
but a Giraffe could look over or
around. This fashion has gone out
of vogue in every civilized audience
and it is not creditable to our pro
gressive city to hold ou in the slight
est degree to an obsolete and very
selfish custom.
We regret ‘ mill, and when the accident occur-
j red was near the crossing of Whit-
laker street. A freight was drilling
j cars on a side track on his right
j and the oil ralil running on his left
| and it is possible ihar these noises
j prevented his hearing the bell or
j the signal whistje of the passenger
j engine of the 2:40 train from Au-
Igusta, that was approaching from
i behind. It was a perilous [dace io
j be standing on any of the tracks,
yet people will do such acts in utter
! disregard of safety, Security was j
! between the tracks.
The engineer, of course, expected i
him to step off as his hell was warn- ;
ing ail to stand aside from the pow
erful and death dealing machine ;
he was driving forward with great
speed. The man must have been
confused by the many sounds, but
he knew that it was time for the
train to come and should not have
been on the track. The train be-
i hind was on him in an instant. The
blow he received sent him head
long many steps forward and
in its rush th8 engine caught the
head ot the stricken man under the
pilot The skull was crushed, and
he was left with little life in him.
Physicians were sent for hut he was
beyond hope and died in a short
while.
He was a valuable laborer and
his loss is regretted by the section
boss. The remains were sent to
South Carolina where his relatives
live.
