IN l’OU TIII-2 FIGHT.
Screven county has got on Its fight
ing clothes. Here's what the Sylvsnta
Telephone has to *ay about It:
Tho Democrats of Hcraven are pre
paring for tltc combat this fall. The
executive cjmmKlco ha* bean appointed
and Col. Oliver Is clktlrmun. The cam-
ixilgn commliJteo will ba announced next
Usue. The Democracy la bourn) to suc
ceed again In this county, as usual, but
thorough brganlxatlon anil active unrl
vigorous work will bo necessary, to
v the Populists that however hard
they Mur work and w-rth all the cross
road orating they do they can't suc
ceed here. Thera 1« no room for them.
The Waycrow Herald thinks that
Judin.' lllncs has failed to enthuse the
third party of Georgia and tliut the
movement Is rapidly weakening.
The Wallen Nows 1s a grout believer
In iho ability uf Hon. W. Y. Atkinson
i "do up" Judge llines. It suggests:
After the gubernatorial convention we
look tor lion. William Y, Axklnson to
turtle candidate Ulneo to engage In
Joint debate. If the clkillcngo should bo
made and accented we would sec soino
old-time political excitement. Atkinson
has no ooual In Georgia as a stump
speaker.
Thera Is agra.it deal Of truth In what
the Talbot Ion New Bra says: "Voting
fur men and not party mean* political
disintegration nnd anarchy. Organlat-
Hon is nwded everywhere. Nothing
ran be accomplished without it, hence
It la of paramount Importance.'*
The Quitman Free Tres* hits It lurt
right In this paragraph: "The eo-cniled
Democrat who vote* for Hines in pref
erence to Atkinson t* Just the kind ot
a Democrat Tom Wogson wants him to
bo. The ballot 'that goes in the box
for lttnes lx a third purty vole, and
no whys and Wherefores can figure It
uut In any other way."
This is how the Democrats or Macon
Bounty feel according to the Moote-
xuma Becordt "The Democrats are
going -to carry the stale of Georgia by
an overwhelming majority. Now watch
Whit nve tell you. Democrats are fall
ing Into Tine everywhere. Geneuloe en-
thualasm t* being kindled all along the
Hat. The people are aroused and are
going to keep their elate government
In thb hands ot Democrats."
—the party of the pecpJe and by tbo
people—and they are coming to ft be
cause '.hey belie re »t will give them
the soundest and roost economical
government. The Populous -will not
cdtdh r/itny of them wiiti hooks baited
with empty honors.”
This is straight Democratic talk
from the Guyton Chronicle: "This is
the ttmi to show your Democratic
backbone. Keep to the front and make
things hot for the boys across Che
tim*.’'
The Calhoun County Courier knows
how It i* going to be. Witness the fol
lowing: “In lees (than two weeks now
tite Democratle love feast will be over,
then Billy Atkinson will be camping
on Jimmy Hlnee' trail and then Che
third party man wDI be a gone coon.”
BACON FOR NENATOB.

STAND BY DEMOCRACY.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I de
sire to present to that class of voters
In 'this state of which I am a part Che
reasons why wc should nhf support tho
third party In tho unproachtni? elec-
t$OQ.
1 am a pbor man—as poor as the poor
est In this state—but 1 am ns honest ns
ttio most honest ones. I have a largo
family to support and to educate, and 1
have to do It by farming on halves. So
ovory one who has any knowledge of
the poor cropper's condition can under
stand well my humble position and Just,
hbrv I tttn situated In my community.
So boys, hear ine idle politicians call
you boys, nnd you must excuse mo fur
assuming to do the same thing) while 1
give you a few thoughts that iiavo come
tb me as I have day after day followed
my plot*. I have learned, like every
one else has. that the poor man of thle
country 1e very needy, and it Is a irop-
or Inquiry to make, what has brought
aftiout thvse conditions? Are they
tr.ice.iblo to any political pi i'll' and to
their administration of tho slate or na
tional government?
If so, from the ndmlnletra,tlon of what
govornqient have they come to us. nnd
what fftlttlcal par^y Is respir.slbte for
This is how the Rome Hustler put*
tt: "The Democrats are trying to sup
port the government—they third furty-
RW are trying to get where they can
make the government support them."
' "We an glad to - nche." says the
Buent VMM Patriot, "that so many
negroes la this county ore allying
themselves jrlUl U« DcmogtaU; ptxty
them? Now boys. If our hard times
ore traceable to tho administration of
any government, by any political party.
It certainly has not grown out of any
loglslatlbn and administration id our
stato government. But It !* claimed
and Is conceded that nil of the Ills that
havo come to us anil from which wo
suffer Have grown out of the legislation
anil (he edndnlvtrad'on of the national
government. This being true. It la a
proper Inquiry to make, what political
party has legislated for and adminis
tered there governments? It Is well
known to ui all that the state govern
ment has been legislated for and ad
ministered by (he Democratic party for
the 48t twenty yearns or more, ngainct
which no readonaMy honest poor man
can make complaint and to which none
of our woes are traceable. TYien. if they
have come tb us from the national gov
ernment. It la well known that the leg-
Islatton for and the edadntr'.rallon of
this government has for the last thirty
years boon under the control of the Re
publican parly, and tt Is to them that
the laboring men are Indebted for all
the dls they suffer.
But ihe third party traders tell us
than the national government has been
foe the last two years under the control
of Ohe Democratic party and that they
have done nothing for our relief, and
they are theretbra responsible for our
depressed nnd Imoovertahed condltt n.
an l that If we will vote for their caniti-
d He for governor, etc. for this state
•mi elect them thev will retieve u-
Are the*e chorees true, ir.d ran they
do what they propose?
An answer to IMS. boy*, eho-ild con
trol n*. It Is true-that all toe depart
ment* of nationtl government have been
In charge of the Democratic party for
the last two veara. sad It I* also true
that the flood of Ills from which the
poor enu*es suffer ba* come to us from
Republican legislation and Republican
administration, and nbt from anyth'.ntt
the Democratic party hat done or failed
to do. These trust* and combines that
have grown so strong under the 1**1*-
latton of the Republican party ari hanl
tb plear array. But I aware \-oa tnat
oof ■ 'nv*vr*llc congee** has gone t,
wor. Funder greater difflcuUle* to clean
vut ihvsc icuJln and cyjjitdj-.s a&J (Q
prepare the wav to plant the seed of
Democratic relief. Everything can not
bo dpnc in a djy.' It requires time 10
rear down our* poll-.-y, to cleaai sway
Mil* ruhblrh and build up another.
It Is Just *s easy, boy*, for us to go
Inm the Wood*, cut down Che free*,
grubb up the stump and clear out the
ror* and put the land into firm-clans
condition tor cultivation In one and two
years as it I* to expect.the Democrai.io
pariy to clear out the Repub.icin
grounds and combines that have grown
iw strong and formidable aud give this
oountrv a complete system of reform
in one or two ye»m. They carmot clear
up the ground In that tin*. But there
Is one '.ling true, boys, the Democratic
party is In tho Republican, wtfods, cut
ting down their giant frauds nnd com
bines. clearing awuy their rubbish and
printing the seed of Democratic relnf
In the form of law* that will, as sure
a* we live, bring to us in time a full
harvest of relief. .
Do not become Impatient and heed the
third party wail*. If the men whom we
hive entrusted with the work of re
form -will not do tt a* we want It done,
let u» droj> «tihem and quit the party.
The party Is In a condition to do some
thin* If we will stand by it. Can the
third party, tlrat promise* so much, do
any thins for ns? We cannot trust Mielr
leaders. They consist principally of
lawyers, broken down politicians nnd
men who have failed In everythin;?
(wl'h n few exceptions) that they ever
undertook to do. If we could not trust
them to fill office when they were (the
most of them) In our party -nnd cannot
trust them in our business, how are we
to »trust them in charge 'of She business
of o government? No. boya* we cannot
trust them. They are the same fellows.
Their whole desire Is to get office and
make money by professing to be the
poor man’s friend. They claim to know
all slbout our condition and Just whai
we want. Now, If they are suoh friends
of the poor man why don’t they put
forward ftnje of our poor class who are
In touch T*kh one another htftead of
putting up politicians and lawyers who
have deserted other political parties for
us to vote for. No. boys, if it were not
for the ©polls and the offices thesa third
party leaders would not he in the third
party or anywhere else.
If we were to vote for Hines and all
their men for «the legislature and put
them In charge of the atMe government
how could they better our condition?
In no way. No figh't is made on the
Democratic state government. It is
against- the national government Hurt
all complaints rnre lodged and from
which all relief must come. There (s
no obance for them to H*et IIine3 gov
ernor nor a legislature. Then, whjjre la
the sense in -throwing our vi>tea away
on some of their candidates for repre
sentatives and senator. None whatever.
It tends to cripple the Democratic party,
tho only party that l« In si position to
help the poor man ngalnrit the trus*s and
combines ot the Republican party. Ev
ery vote caHt for the (third party Is aid
ing the Republican party. So examine
youraelveo, boya, n-nd see If you do
nbt arrive n't 4he same conclusion. If
you do, then let us, in our humble
homes, resolve to not let this Populist
party deceive us. By standing to the
Democratic policy there is hope for re
lief; by going to the third pirty there
is none. L. T. Mercer.

Nunquam chased a starving cattua.
But cucurit or Internals,
On the track and on the scentus,
TUI he treed a possum strongum
In a hollow trunkum longum.
Loud he barked in horrid befium,
Seemed on terra venit helium.
Quickly ran the duo puer,
Mora of possum to secure,
Quam vencrit, one began
TO chop away like qulaque man.
Soon the axe went through the trun-
kuin,
Fast he hit It, per, cher, chunkum,
Combat thickens; on ye bravus!
Canls, puer, bite, et stavu»;
As his powers non longlus tarry.
Possum potest non pugnare,
On the nix his corpus lleth,
Down to Hades spirit flleth.
Joyful puers, canls bonus
Think him dead ns any stonus.
Alnt nis corpus luce a jelly?
Quid plus proof ought hunter velle?
Now they seek their pater's dome.
Feeling proud as any homo,
Knowing certe they will blossom
Into heroes, when with possum
Thej' at rive, narrabunt ©tory,
Plenus blood, et pCenlor glory.
Pompoy, David, Sampson, Caesar,
Cyrus, Blackhanrk, Shalmaneser!
Tell me where eat now the gloria,
Where the honors or Victoria.
Quum at do mum narrent story,
Plenus, sanguine, tragic, gory.
Pater praineth, likewise mater;
Wonders greater younger frater.
Possum leave they on the mundus—
Go themselves to sleep prorundus.
Somniunt possum slain in battle,
Strong as ursc, large as cattle.
When nox gives way to lux of raorn-
lr.g,
Album terrum much adorning,
I’p they Jump to see the varmen.
Of the which quid est the carmen,
Pissum hie est resurrectuni.
Leaving puers most de;ectum.
Pusaum rcfilnqult track behind him,
Sod the puers never nnd him.
Cruel poesum! bestia vilest!
How the puers tu beguilest,
Puers think non plus ot Caes&r,
Go to gramen, Hhaimanecar!
Take your laurel, cum the honor,
Shace ister possum is a goner.

A RARE TREAT.
Hon. Robert L. Berner, the silver-
tongued .orator of Monroe, will bo here
on Tuesday, August 7, and will make us
a ringing Democratic address.
Bqb Berner, as he is familiarly called,
is one of the most eloquent men In the
South. Oratory is a natural gift with
him, and he will present the claims of
tlie Democratic party to the people of
this county in a vigorous style.
You will miss a treat if you don't hear
him.
We. hope ever Populist *n the county
can be present on that day anl huur
tne silver-tongued statesman from i’ 0 r-
syth.
Every voter is Invited, to be present
on Tuesday, August 7, .because it Is a
rare treat to hour such a .speech as Mr.
Berner will ’make.—Jackson Herald.
FOR THB LEGISLATURE.
I respectfully announce myself a can
didate for the legislature, subject to
the Democratic primary, and solicit the
support of my friends.
HOPE POLHILL.
MADDOX IS ALL RIGHT.
Ho Will Whip Out the Populists In the
Seventh AH Rlgnt
From tfl6 Rome Tribune.
Hon. Tr.tfnmeM Starr of Dalton, char-
man of the Democratic executive commit
tee of the Seventh congressional district,
was In the city yesterday. He was seen
a Tribune reporter, and gave some
interesting talk concerning the situation
In.this district.
In reply to a question an to whether he
throught the third party had any outlook
for success, he replied: I am sure tho
district Is as safely Derm.cratic as it was
two years ago. Judge Maddox will carry
every county In the Seventh, Mxcept, po3-
Bibly, Paulding. It matters not who fne
Populists put out against him, the Dem
ocrats are going to land the Judge safely
in office again. Scab Wright is un
doubtedly the strongest man they could
run against him, but ttiere'is no great
probability of his being in the race. Even
if ho were to enter, I honestly believe
Maddox would defeat him, but we would
have a right lively time of It in the cam
paign.
“But It behooves every Democrat to be
up and doing. Every county should have
thorough and f*ystematlc onganizatlon.
The minute we elt down and become over
confident, the Populists will steal & march
on us. They are working like beavers
and ha\*e organized splendidly. But If
we only keep our weather eye open, and
keep stirring, I see no danger of Democ
racy being defeated."
Col. Starr Is a candidate fur the senate
from the Forty-third senatorial district,
and will receive the nomination easily!
So far the Populists have not put out a
man against him, but should they do so
Col. Starr will be eleced. Politics up in
this neck of the woods is beginning to
keep pace with the present state of the
weather.
