\» believe that Uie strangest man

Th|s belief is strengthened by the cir

He Delivered a Clear, Forcible Defense
ot Democratic Principles.
From the Monroe Advertiser.
Hon. A. O. Bacon of Bibb spent
last Wednesday In our town, and at II
o'clock addressed the large number of
our citizens who assembled to hear
him on true Democracy and the great
national questions that are engaging
the minds of the people throughout our
vast country. Hls address was able,
forcible, clear, logical and eloquently
presented. Hls preface was a sound
and -true exposition of Democracy and
a complete refutation ot the false Idea
obtaining among some -that our present
Democratic congress had done nothing
toward* the furtherance of the great
Interests that the people have vmtrust-
ed to them.
In arguing national Issues he was
bold and fearless In the declaration of
hls convictions, -his arguments showing
that hls profound knowledge of those
Intricate questions is clear and compre
hensive, iHls views on the great ques
tions of tariff and finance were not
contracted; on the contrary, he present
ed broad views that are always evi
dences of ability. On the all-absorbing
question of silver -he presented some
facts that were not familiar to -hls hear
ers, nnd chat strongly advocated the
policy of free stiver.
Hls defense of the Demo-aaic party
,as the party of btmenlalllsm was strong
and convincing, and backed up. by
facts In the party’s history that cannot
be gainsaid.
Hls appeal to ithe Populists who had
'wandered aiway from the Democratic
fold to return to the ranks of Democ
racy was strong, tout chaste and ele
vated, pointing out the erratic views
and untenable principles of that party,
and 'the Impossibility of the Populists
ever to carry to final consummation
the Democratic principles that have
been -Incorporated In the Populistic
creed. The speech as a whole was nn
able defense for Democracy. .
THE TRACKS THEY ABE MAKING.
Borne Interesting Election Statistics
Carefully Compiled.
From tlio LnwrenCovlIlo Nows.
There nro twenty-one candidates in
Gwinnett county; four for tho legisla
ture, one for tlui senate, live for sher
iff, Including deputies, two for clerk ot
tlie superior court, four for tax collec
tor. coo for tax receiver, two fur treas
urer, aue for coroner, one for surveyo;
total—21.
We supposo that each one of these
candidates has traveled 100 miles.
Then say that all of them together
have traveled 1,200 miles. Hie average
ms<n makes about 2,r>00 steps to tho
mile. Multiply 2,500 by 2,100 and wo
have 5,250,000, which represents the
number of tracks made by the candi
dates who nro running In tho Demo
cratic primary, this number of tracks,
If made behind n plow, wool cultivate,

dates have ridden over tho county, but
they had walked, the foregoing llgures
would approximate the number of
tracks made.
And who will object. Nobody. They
are nil good men, nnd those who are
nominated will be elected', receiving the

LITERALLY A HORNED 8XAKK.
A Curiosity Which Was Found Roam
ing Around in Oglethorpe.
MV. Walter Burkhalter of near San-
day Cross was exhibiting in Lexington
•sdny a veritable horned tumko
which had been killed near Steven*
Huff & Co.’s store that day. In shape
it had the appearance of be ing a lizanl
without legs, was about ten Jnchii
long and had a horn on its tail about
a half inch long. The most marked pe
culiarity of the reptile was the absence
of crawling scales which are found mt
the under side of snakes, which would
seem to indicate that it did not crawl
but rolled fa a hoop as horned snakes
are said to navigate. It was found by
a Mr. Graham aud before it was killed
it struck at him with its tali, the horn
striking ids pants. Heretofore the ex
istence of honied snakes has Wu eon-
sidered a myth.—Oglethorpe Echo.

•Way of advertising.
The following was written for nn. ad
vertisement by a Columbus merchant,
■who Is an expert In this line, and we
think It Is worth repeating; omitting
the advertising part:
"After a lung and well spent life, full
of years and honora. he sleeps with hla
father.” When I read this, the para
graph quoted above, about Kbrne great
inan.lt looked strange «to me ho>w long
a man can live and not learn enoerh to
sleep by himself. It Is truly wonderful
hbw little the most of us learn, ns we
live along through life. We just tnotey
along, and put In more time on tho
holdkng-bn«ck strains than we do on the
traces, nnd etumble around over gold
mines and diamond fields, and treasure
trove, and bewail our fate, and abuse
others; Imagine everything in general
and everything oU*e In particular, is
everlastingly going to the "Demnltlon

MAJ. BACON’S POPULARITY.
Wbat an Impartial Observer Found at the
State Convention.
From the La Grange Graphic.
The recent convention In Atlanta, was
one of tfie largest and most representa
tive gatherings of Democracy ever held
In tho state. Many of the delegates i
nominees of the party for senators and
representative**, any most of the others
were tnen who, by their active Interest
In politics, art* In clone touch with the
p®>ple. Hence, no better place could be
found to test the popularity of the gentle
men who are candidates for United Staten
senator.
Mingling with this collection of repre
sentative men. we wore somewhat sur
prised end •altogether pleased to hnd that
MaJ. Bacon was the first or sr-xmd ch<
of almost every one we met. W«
lleve that he will lead all opponent
the first ballot and that he will readily
secure the nomination before many roll
('alls ore made. AI-aJ. Bacon deserve*
well of the country, and It will but do
tardy justice in honoring him with’ this
trust. »
BACON AND HIB TRADUCBRS.
Personal GrudKOs Will Not Prevent
His Election.
There seems to be an almost unani
mous public sentiment in favor of elect-
in B Hon. A. O. Bacon to the United
States senate to succeed Hon. Patrick
Walsh. The country papers of tne
state are speaking out for Bacon, and
nine times out of ten the country pa
pers represent public sentiment.
There are. howcVer, a few papers in
Georgia whoue editors seem to have a
personal grudge against MaJ. Bacon,
and we notice ‘that they are turning
their batteries <m him and abusing him
at a terrible rate. These soreheads
mistake the temper Of tbs people If
they think they can detract from MaJ.
Bacon’s superior fitness for the eenate
by untying their bags of gall and dos
ing an innocent public with them.
Those who have heard Maj. Bacon’s
speeches for the last three weeks say
that no Other man in .Georgia possesses
a broader grasp of public questions. He
seems to thoroughly understand Amer
ican Institutions and Is a lover of them.
He sees, with the keen eye of a states
man, the evils that beset ua, and ven
ture*. with commendable patriotism, to
create a sentiment which will result
In the correction of them. On the finan
cial question he is outspoken, yet rea
sonable and •conservative, occupying a
position to unite the factions in the
Democratic party.
We believe it will require a groat
deal of trickery to defeat Maj. Bacon
for the senate.—Lawrencevllle News.
PLENTY OF SILVER.
No Scarcity of the White Metal on a
Parity With Gold ot Amertciw.
From the Penny Press.
Silver money appear* to be pretty
much the only kind of currency In cir
culation In Americus. The banks have
an abundance of the white metal and
pay it out right along, using little paper
and less gold.
Nearly everyone who brings a check
to the bank is given silver and If the
check Is for a large amount, there is al
ways more or less grumbling on ac
count of the bulkmas uf the white met
al. "Haven’t got it," is almost invaria
bly the response of the cashier when
anyone askB for paper or gold.
dn view of the abundance of silver in
this section. It Is a little strange that
the Populists / should keep up their
howl for "free sll/er.V at the present
ratio and regardless of. the parity or
soundness of the currency.
REDUCTION OF WAGES. *
Fall River, Mass., Aug. 7.—The reasons
for the reduction of the wages of rile
cperatlves voted by the Cotton Manufact
urers* Association yesterday, which af
fects 26,(Wj mill hands; ore the falling
off In the market price for prints to
2H cents, 1 per cent, off, and the poor
demona for goods even a* that figure.
A reducl^jn will also tako place in the
the fine goods departments. Payment for
the latvtr eta83 of goods is reckoned at
a little better basis than the print cloth
standard. The cut down came in the na
ture of a Surprise.
A WORLD OF TRUTH.
An editor works ill days per year to
get out £9 l«uw of his paper-that's
labor. Once In a while somebody pays
month’* subscription—that's capital. And
once In n while some dead-beat takes too
paper for a year or two and vanishes
without paying for it-mat's anarchy. But
Uter on Justice will overtake the laat
named creature, for there Is a place where
he wiu get hi* deserts—that's hell.
