THE MONITOR,
Published Kvkhy Friday.
ONE DOLLAR A YEAR.
Moseley & McGowan.
Eds. and Props.
If there is a single standard
democrat in Madison county, the
Monitor lias lieen unable to locate
him.
Several of the country weeklies
did not print a paper this week, on
account of the “glorious fourth/’
but here is your Monitor, just the
the same.
The single standard papers of
the state may laugh at the coining
Griffin silver convention, as’much
a they please, but it might ho
well for them to remember that
old adage about the fellow who
laughs last, etc.
The Seaboard Air Line has
been divided into three divisions,
the GC it N railroad comprising
th# third division with V E Mc-
Bee superintendent and general
manager, headcf. mrters at Atlanta,
John II Winder is still general
manage! of the SAL system.
The people of Madison are genii"
inelv and thoroughly democratic,
but they are at the same time
earnest friends of silver. She
may not be represented at the
approaching Griffin convention,
but she will have a strong delega
tion in Atlanta wnen the time for
real work comes.
When, the democratic state con
vention meets next spring, it may
give the present national adminis
tration a severe rons dug and then
it may not. It all depends on how
the few gold bugs left in the State
behave themselves between now
and that time. The Monitor be
lieves that the administration de
serves severe censure.
What is the reason that Mndi
■on don’t send delegates to the
Griffin silver convention, which
meets on the 18th inst. This meet
ing will he an important one, as
it is a state convention, and will
demonstrate that the democracy
of Georgia is friendly to silver.
Madison county is solid for silver
and should follow the example of
other couatiea, which are sending
delegations.
The Madison Advertiser has in
an editorial suggested Hon. Thos.
G Lawson for (lie Somite, and
the Eatontoa Messenger in second
ing the suggestion, says: '
“Judge Law on is the brainiest.,
congressman from Georgia, ami in
point of ability we doubt if he ha
a Bujwrior in congress. He is no:
k demagogue, lie is a loyal demo
crat. an honest man and a safe
leader. The people would honor
themselves as well as lnm in pro
moting him.”
HOW THE NAME ORIGINATED
We were asked sometime ago
through the columns of the Mon
itor, why it was that Afadison is
called the “Free State?” From
what we have heard the express
ion grew out of the following:
Long ngu, just utter the county
of Madison was formed, a big,
brawny barefooted and coatless
fe’lfcw, with copperas breeches,
hold on by home made suspenders,
walked into a store at Athens.and
one or the dude clerks stepped up
and asked what he wanted, lie
told him lie wanted a pair of shoes
on a credit, and was informed lv
the cierk that ho could not get
thsM that way. Whereupon the
barefooted fellow cursed out the
establishment ami wound up In
telling the clerk that “it made
no difference with him, that lie
lived in the Free State of Madison
and that he could wear shoes or
go barefooted, just as he pleased.”
We understand that the above
is where the expression came from,
but ii any one knows to the contra
kr\, we will lie glad to hear from
hem. as would like to get it
iraight.
Plain Bill Atkinson.
A recent issue of the Constitu
tion contains the following:
A sorrier looking tprnmit than
one which picked its way ah ng
Whitehall street the other day has
never come from the home ef wid
owhood anil poverty. A jaded and
sprained mule with stiff and knotty
limbs and thin sides toiled painful
ly along, drawing behind him a
battered, ramshackle old buggy
that seemed to have stood the ser
vice ol many years. The harness
was tied together in many places
and seemed in momentary peril of
coming to pieces again. The old
buggy tottered along ns if it might
collapse at any moment.
A patient looking woman, in a
saded poke bonnet and a homespun
dress sat in the frail ■ vehicle and
guided the wavering stops of the
wonmut mule.
Suddenly the mule stopped and
one of the shafts dropped down—
a piece of the harness had broken
—Ttvir poor WfTTfflm-gffggd th*
wreck with calamity written in
her faro. For a full minute she
surveyed it without moving, and
then looked around for some,
friendly face. The side walk was
crowded with people and the
street were full, but all were hur
rying on, and no one paid the
slightest attention to the woman.
Slowly she began to descend ffom
her seat,
Jitst at this moment a passing
carriage halted and a gentleman
alighted, lie spoke to the woman
in a kindly tone and offered as
sist her. She gratefully accept'd
the offer and stood by almost
tremblingly while he worked awav
repairing the broken harness. 1:
was a hard job and took quite
awhile. But, the gentleman who
had proffered his services was de
termined, and ns he worked he
got down on his knees that he
might get at it better. Finally it
was conflicted, tvnd the gentleman
stepped into his carriage and
drove on.
A nan who was passing notic
ed the almost tearful gratitude of
the poor woman as the carriage
drove away, and stepping up to
her ho said:
•‘Do you know who that was
that fixed your harness?
The woman shook her head.
“That was the Governor of the
State—Bill Atkins,.p.l”
Tin- woman was too greatly as
tonished to make any reply, and ns
she confined her way down White
hall street she was so occnnied
with her wondering thoughts that
she came near colliding with a
number of vehicles that slie pass
ed.
