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.
