The people of the Sixth Jltftnit will set's bad precedent If they refuse to return Hon. Thomas B. Cabaulas, their present representative, to con gress for a second term. Bush action would be without any valid raaam, and we think it would be nothing short of a repudiation of faith'ulness. It Is an undisputed fact .that no man in congress from Georgia ha* been more devoted to his duty than Mr. Cabanlss. He baa always rema'neJ at his post of duty, and evra now when ha poUtioai Interests seem to re jeo his presence In the dtotrlct he remains at the capital, true to hla people, at tending strictly to the business before congress. Tnere are three special reasons why Mr. Cabanlss should be returned to congress, not to consider that it is cus tomary to give the man a second term. The first reason Is that he Is a friend of Mr. Cleveland's administration, and no man opposed to the administration should be sent to congress, i: would only burden congress with men who should -be elsewhere. It would only stm further prevent congress from carryeng out the demands of the peo ple. It would cripple the mtht-.e Demo cratic administration. It would bo simply dividing a house against ftself, and U would bring disaster to the hopes for good legislation and ruin to the Democratic party. .The' people oan do nothing more foolish than to send to congress a man opposed to the ad ministration. The record of Mr. Caba nlss shows that he 1s a better friend to (he administration than his oppo nents In this racy. The second reason why he should bo returned la that in the house oJ rep resentatives he has been.careful and watchful about the interests of the people. On all public questions he Is ft Democrat, voting consistently with Democracy and the 'Democratic, plat form, and he has been fearless.and uncompromising in the discharge of his duty. 'He stands by his convic tions like a man, and votes In accord ance tthorewfth regardless of personal consequences. A man of this character, with two years' experience In congress, can be ot more service to the district than any new man. Therefore It would be tony to replace Mr. Cabanlss, with his Influence and experience in the house, with a new 'and untried man. The third reason Is that Mr. Caba nlss bas accomplished -much for this district in a local way. He has been exceedingly diligent In this respect, and what he has done proves conclu sively that he has conSJdeible Influence With 'the powers that he ot the oapttal. We believe every postolllce In the dis trict has been filled with a Democra't, and a number of other nice appoint ments has come to tbe district through his Influence. No demand bas been made upon him that did not receive his prompt attention. No man could have done better than Mr. Cabanlss has done, and he deserves the com mendation of bta constituents In a re- election io congress. 4 «• In mental, physical, moral and Dem ocratic qualifications he is the equal of any opponent, aifd in experience and Influence in national legislation he has decrdedly the advantage. It is the duty of the Sixth district, therefore, to re-elect Mr. Cabanlss to represent the district in congress. HANCOCK'S RESOLUTION. Hon. A. O. Bacon's Candidacy for the United States Senate Indorsed. The following are the resolutions of fered by Col. J. T. Jordan and passed by our Democratic mahs meeting on the 3d: "Resolved, That it Is tho sense Of this meeting that the lotter of Hon. A. O. Bacon, addressed to Dr. F. tW.

I am 60 year* old today, and I renum ber the old creen-Beed cotton, ihe only klrd we had to pUaL It wa» raised and marketed at 4 cent* per pound. I far ther remember that every farmer had kla lote full of cattle ami pens full of hogi and 8tables full of horses raised at home. At that time corn was worth from 23 to 40 cents per bushel, hoga driven on foot .from Tennessee and Kentucky J cents to 4 cents per pound; bacon 6 cent* per pound; wheat wa* worth fr) cents per bushel; and everything elae of the farm- er'a production was low. Now, at this tine, calico was worth 25 centa per ywrl; domestic 15 to 20 cents per yard: and a'.l dry goods In proportion. Jjwede iron wa* worth 12H cents per pound, while shop work was very high—laying plows 40 to 50 cents, laying scooters, 25 to 90 cents. Now, you wiU aee that farm products were very low and iron and all manu factured goods very high, yet will say that the farmers in that day prospered, and 1 did not hear the cry of herd times. They bought lanls and negroes and paid for them. In that day every family made their own nothing; jeans nnd home- spun. and they wore them; walked to church every Sundar and enjoyed the sermon without any criticisms. Then they seemed to enjoy life with blackberry and chicken pie for dinner. They had their wheat reaping*, live and six reapers Iu the field with as many binders, one gath erer and one shocker. I remember ihe i hoes we wore—home-tanned tn v Io* Tat . ] ai: A year; Sund.iy »h•!••■•* hla* l.i-l with soot from the chimney. I remember the gTound-slide, upon which wool and conr were hauled up; also the two-wheeled truck wagon, upon wMU were haukd logs, and with body, com and cotton. But I don’t remember any sewing ma chinal. carta buggies, orguna, pianos, guano. Iron plow-stocks, harrows, culti vators. etc. The ancients plowed with scooters and shovels—six to eight furrows to the row, and that after com was in the tassle and silk. Now, what is the matter with- our farm ers? Simply we spend more than wtf make. Come back to the old ttark. Make alt at home that can be made and hay enty that you cannot in Aka at home.

Tbs Man Who Pretends He Has a Very Important Item. From the Louisville Courier-Journal. The gad fly about newspaper offices l» the man with “an Important Item. Th* chief claim he offers for conilderatton is that he has read the paper for years and years and yean. He would no more think of missing bis paper than his break fast. Frequently, according to his own figures, he began reading the paper ten years before Its first number was issued. After Judging from his age and hts state ments, he must have begun reading the paper when he was 18 months old. . An exasperating thing about him Is that he Is generally very slow In getting down to the object of his- visit. Oft there will crop out of this love for and allegiance to the paper a htstory or ms life—a harmless life, whose onto passion Iras been an overmastering admiration for the paper. Then, quite as a matter, he will refer to ills brother'j loyalty to the paper—and his father's. Here he be comes pathetic, for his father ts dead. H. Implies by a skillful touch, by a half expressed though 1 that the paper eased hla father's dying hours. The cloud of sorrow slowly lifts itself from the Important Item's face—this abbre viation for the jiake of brevity—as he trims his sales for another talk. Then the subscribers he has gotten for tho paper. He gives no figures, but he names names, he gives dates, instances, inci dent!. amusing nnd pathetic. And he did It all without any blowing of horns: he asked nothing of the paper, expected nothing. He Just came up this afternoon to give an Important piece of informa tion. Here be, draws up his chqlr and leans over toward the city editor. "Do you know CoL Bluecloth?" The city editor does not. The Important Item Is much surprised. • "Of course you've heard of him? The city editor again shakes his head, and mixed with the Important Item's disap pointment Is n drop of pity. "Never heart cf Col. Bluecloth! Why, I thought everybody knew him. A flue fellow—the colonel; a gentleman' of the old school-straight as a ramrod, though he Is IS, and he still has an eye for a pretty girl. Ob. he's a sty dog-the colonel. The colonel has Just won the gold- headed cane offered hy the Easy Fit Shoe Company. He guessed 159,623 seed: that was within 200 of the exact number and 1,000 closer than any one else guessed. Tbe cane was delivered to the colonel today, and you can write up a good Item about his being such a fine guesser. Hts friends will all be looking for It. Speak about the colonel still being fond of pretty girls, won't you? We'll devil, him pretty near to death If you will. The colonel gets touchier about that us he gets older. Another thing—" "I am very sorry," interrupts the city editor, "but I can't make a notice about your friend. It's a clever advertisement. You will bavo to sec tho business of- "But, mv dear sir, the colonel Is too writ known already. Advertisements can't help him." "The shoe company, of course, would reap the benefit." "But it's a new* Item: it never has been in any other paper; it's—what do you call It?—a scoop. You wouldn't let a little thing, like that stand in 'the way of a scoop, would you?” "We cannot publish that." "Come, let's reason together about it. You only put In your paper what you think interests the public. When you get hold of nn Item that Interests n large number of people youwrlle a great deal about It and put big-headed lines over 1L Now. this Item will Interest a3 many people aa one of your big Items, on ac count of the colonel’s friends. Now, my dear sir—" "I haven't time to argue with you nor listen to your Ideas ss to how to run a newspaper," said the long-suffering man. rather testily. "I cannot put in the no tice for you. I regret it very much, but It couldn't bo otherwise." “»ou won't put It In" "I cannot: this Is not a matter of ac commodation." "Oh, I see," with all tbe Ineffable — casm of an Important Item, t would not have believed this had any one told me. This Is my reward. I am glad my eyes have been opened at last. Good day, sir!" Sometimes the Important Item resorts to tho telephone. He will call up the local rooms and ask for the city editor. "Have you an extra reporter around?'
