, 5 U §7b $j[me Hif ism. The Survival of the Fittest. WAYNESBORO. GA.. JULY 20, 1901. Even Norway has limited fran chise. They can vote as often ana early as a man in the municipal election. Old Sol must have gotten off hi- surplus caloric this week. We are not talking about. Sol Wetherhahn who neyer gets “over het” “Mr. Gladstone boasted that he had read 30,000 volumes.” What a man he would have been if he had not had such a ioad to carry! THE ENGINE OF TYRANNY. Kaiser Wilhelm, seeing certain hand-writings on the wall, incul cates constantly the view that the proper thing in government is the machine soldier. His final trust is i in him. The salvation of the auto- j crat against advancing democracy ! is the machine army which moves j alone by the will of the autocrat, | In this great -republic things move | in a sort of reverse order. A large i body of the Republican party are [inclined to establish a machine ar- j my to destroy a democracy. In any government the standing army is a menace to liberty and is the weight tnat holds down the oppressed ele ment of society. The people that supinely submits to tbo establish- incuts (ff the machine army must sooner or later revolutionize or be slavey. INSTALLATION OF OFFICERS. It is said Pennsylvania is turning her convicts ioose. It must be that the “gang” in Philadelphia want to make some new acquaintances. the real and the unreal There is likelihood of shortage in j The pure Arcadian politics o the crop of watermelons in Georgia j some southern statesmen direct ; tliat the South should have a man Jon the national ticket, and the Phil adelphia Record intimates that the this season. When the Georgia melon or peach crop is off ihe na tion suffers. Senator Hanna has a skeleton m his closet not exactly political, but ha has the consolation of knowing he is right, up in the 400. His son is suing for a divorce. It has been noticed among the great number of ueaths from sun stroke lately that more than three- fourths of them were steady drink ers of alcoholic beverages. “Mr. Bryan believes that munici pal ownership of water works, light ing plants and street car lines is the best solution of the problem that confronts cites.”—Savannah Rress. “London,” says an exchange, “im ports four million umbrellas and parasols per annum.” This shows that men’s opinions change. It is a historical fact that the first person who raised an umbrella in London was mobbed. “In Washington City” say.-i the Savannah Rress, “Up to date horses have stiaw bonnets to protect them from the sun.” What a blessing it would be to the Georgia mule these July days while he is struggling to make cotton for tire whole world and the thermometer at 100 in the shade Democratic party does not look to sections but availibilify of eandi- dales. This is patriotism and high cias Americanism, but alas! all in nubi- bus. We of the South must not for get that McKinley politics for the South is an experimental plaything which Hanna permits to amuse William; hut that Hanna’s politics are north of the Mason-Dixon line and are roa! dollars and cents. The Macon Telegraph has it down about right when it says, “The plain truth of the matter is that the Dem ocratic party knows two sections, the one that supplies the candidates and the other that supplies the votes.” It must be true that the Pennsyl vania legislature is the most pur- ehaseable one in the United States. Well, Philadelphia must have a brotherly love for something and what more appropriate object could it get for its overplus of charity than the poor overworked Penn sylvania legislature. Tbo the crop prospect is discour aging there will be enough cotton made. What most concern ou planters is the fact that food pro ducts may be short. All cotton farming profits will go to provide them and another year lost. With barn9 filled the southern planter can look the future in th9 face. prosecute vagrants. An exchange says the tramp nuisance can be abated. We allude to an able editorial on the subject from the Savannah Press. The Press is correct. Years ago Burke county was infested with tramps to such an extent it tvas an intolera ble pest. The Burke county court finally took the matter in hand and had them arrested whenever found, sent them to the chain-gang when not able to give a proper account of their idleness, and now a tramp in Burke county is a rarity. In the matter also of “beating” their way on the trains by vagrants the coun ty court of Burke has about broken up this mode of shifting vagrants from one place to another. At least it is seldom one 13 captured now 7 We mention these facts to show that if the law is enforced vagrancy will disappear and much crime that springs from idleness also. Van Allen, the great American tuft hunter, who loves a lord m most approved un-American styles, is in a row with his daughter, who wishes to marry an American and scorns offers of marriage from aris tocrats deluged with impecuniosiiy. They say she is boss of the tan yard and holds out a healthy defy to this Anglomaniacle snob. She will suc ceed and obtain our blessing. The Republican administration ha9 in office Pension Commissioner H. Clay Evans who has fairly and honestly administered the ofiiee, but he is a little too honest for the place. The pension sharks are as thick now as ever and yankee pa triotism is as persistent in its de mands on the treasurer as ever; so pensioner Evans has rather a hard time retaining his place and keep ing thieves out of the treasury vaults. THE TECHS AND LABOR ORGANIZA TIONS. Atlanta communists have work ed themselves into a fury and the city council have passed a silly res olution to condemn the students of the Tech school for accepting work offered them in their vacation There is some doubt whether th constitution follows the flag in A lanta. It has come to a pretty pas when a laborer must be condemned for seeking work and prosecuted as a vagrant w 7 hen he D able to work and does not. The times iu Geor gia are certainly out of joint if this possible. We believe in protecting labo and advocating its cause when right against the tyranny of err. ployers, but do not b8iieve it should ever dictate who should and should not accept work offered. Labor or ganizations must avoid this or be come dictatorial tyrants themselves destructive of social order and pop ular government. Milieu K. of P. In a Flourishing Condi tion-Officers Elected. M illen , G a , July 17: h — Mi Lon Lodge No. 56, K of P , is enjoying one of the most successful and in teresting periods in her history. In December of 19U0 Knight L. M. Da vis was elected O. G. Upon his in stallation in January, be announced his intention to devote his best ef forts towards building up the inter est iu the lodge. Right well he has succeeded, and although our meetings are weekly, nearly every meeting (taken on an average) has witnessed new vows by those Knights deemed worthy to form a link in the mystic chain. In recognition of his work, C- C. L. M. Davis was elected in June to succeed himself. Monday night the following offi cers were installed: L. M. Davis, C, C. E. Burch Johnston, V. C. W. E Scott, Prelate. C. V. DeLoach, M. of W. F. S. Cates, M. A. W. V. Lanier, K. of R. S.; M. of F. i. O. Parker, M. of E. W. O. King, I. G. E. R Lester, O. G. The offices of M. of F. anu K. of R and S. are filled by P. G. R W. V. Lanier, who was elected for twelve months. The office of M. of E was rendered vacaut by the resignation of Bro. W. It. Holder who has been elected cashior of the Bank of Gray- mont. Bro. I O. Parker v, 7 as elected to fill the vacancy and was install ed with the other officers. The Atlanta Constitution is sti’l asking for ultimatums. It wants the so called “independent” news papers of tlio country to be so kind as to prepare a Democratic platform that they will obligate themselves to support if adopted.” Thi3 is about as foolish as the effort made by a great Democratic leader to bluff Mr. Grover Cleveland Into as suming he was the party which Mr. Cleveland did not do and no sensi ble Democrat will ever do. The Alabama Constif uiional Con vention is trying to make three fourths of a jury find verdicts civil suits. The Georgia senate tried to make this a law twenty-three years ago. Since King Alfred’s time a unanimous jury has made verdicts, but it is rather 9trange. In our system of civil government we work by majorities even up to the supreme courts of slates and the United States, with this jury excep tion only. The supreme court by a majority can set aside a unanimous verdict of a jury. OR JOHNSTON OF OHIO. Sam Jones wants the Democrats to get togethe* 7 , and nominato Win. C.

The Deacon's Son. In Perkins when the sun was low And a’l the stores were running o’er With country folks; their faces bright The deacon slept with all his might. His son had promised of’t before To touch the wine cup nevermore. The deacon thought his sou was true And little thought his sleep he’d rue. Alas ! How sad it is to think We oft-.-n drift so near the brink Of things which if we only knew We’d use our influence and sudbue. But this poor deacon, as you’ll find Was to his son’s temptations blind— And snored away as though he thought His son to drink could not be taught. All of a sudden therearose. A mighty hubbub in those stores And every man called to look The deacon’s son a drink had took. And when this news was spread abroad The people said with one accord, This boy is gone, his sun is set,3 And on his fall began to bet. The deacon too was soon awoke And told these t hings of which we've spoke And many more which were not true, And this was done with much ado. This naughty boy to bed was put And all the doors and windows shut, The deacon thought wlieu this was done He had his foot upon this son. Alas ! However when he awoke The son the good-bye works had spoke And gone away to sober up, Or possibly to fill-er-up. But be that matter as it may The son’s returned from far away And isatlrsdesk with pen iu hand To keep the books and tend the stand. And if h’sfriends have got the grit They’ll go and shake his hand a bit. And say my boy you’ve done a wrong But I’m your friend, brace up, be strong Now neighbors when this tale you’ve read Of this poor boy who wins his bread By cutting meat and sacking meal. Perhaps a change of heart you’ll feel. He too has laiu on mother’s breast And often has he been caressed The same perhaps as yours would be If they were little as then was he. And for this reason if no other For the sake of a gicd mother You should deal gently with tills boy, Pray for and try not destroy. Now friends as this tale I conclude I hope to have it understood The lesson I tried to teach Is to help a man when in your reach. —Copyrighted by The Deacon's Son. Itidge. Correspondence Citizen.
