A PATERNALISTIC SCHEME.
During tht tout two or three years a
gentleman who lives In California, Mr.
David Lubiu, haa ocoaaouully gent to
the Telegraph n pamphlet In which lie
udvonates n plan of Ida own for abol
ishing poverty among the formers of
the United State*. Briefly mated, Mr,’
Lubln'* plan I* that tfia postal lawn of
the United States lie applied to thu
movatnent of corn, cotton, whait, luy,
potatoes and other product* uf the farm,
to the end that It atmt! cost no more to
Doud a bushel or ton of one of these
products from California to Maine Ilian
from Now York to Brooklyn. That
Is to «ay, Mr. Lobtn tJi'.nka the United
States government sliould undertake
to move the products of Uio farm
nt a uniform charge, win (ever the dig-
til nee, as It now moves letters.
Mr. I.ubtn'u plan would not he worthy
of dhtciusiloa, lu our oplntau, hut for the
foot Unit It has lieon 'ornsilly adopted
by the ItepuhllruDs of Cullfornla nud
emlmtlnl In lliolr latest platform. The
pmotlral elTeut of tho adoption of Hint
plan J»y Hio governtnenl would he tile
trannferonen of the bulk of tho cost of
moving freight irom tho shoulders of
the producers nr the oommmem, tut (he
oaeo may he, to those of tlio taxpayers
In general. Every mun wtio pays taxes
would contribute to the payment of
freights, no matter whether he tdilpped
anything or not, and the contribution
would necessarily lie very large. Tho
posthl service is not remunerative.
Every year tho taxpayers nro obliged
to make good a deficit Li Its revonnes,
Hot this deflrit ut a mere tritlc com
pared with Hint wMoh they would hnvo
"to moot If tho government undertook
to move freights in tho smno wny—as
trilling us the malts nro liulmpormnt
In weight acid cost of, '.wrrtngo, triton
oompnnsl with the vnst hulk of goods
moved by tho freight trains on tho rail-
roatto of the country.
Tito government lias found It neces-
wry to ndopt law* to punish private
persons who Interfere with Us monop
oly of the malls. lint for these laws
expericnco linn shown that In tho greet
centers nt population, where that mo
nopoly Is most profitable, the govern
ment's business of carrying tetters
would lie seriously Interfered with,
rrivnto persons or companies la
such • centers would find It prof-
ttubla to do tho business at
n louvr rate than tho uniform
rate Uxcd by the government, nnd the
lntler would ho left to carry on Its bus-
incss only in those |<arts of tho country
where, Ihvuusc of tho Kpursctiasa of
popuhstiooi, It U not profitable. sim
ilar lnws would bo necessary to prevent
liiterfercueo with Uio government's
freight monopoly. In eoni<quunee, tho
chargo for short tllslanees would need
to Im very high, to compeusntc for the
low roto for lot'g distances, or else
practically the uhulo burden of freight
payment would foil not on tho men
who whip .goods but on the mass of the
pooplo only remotely Interested In such
shipments.
It is easy to see ttmt such n plan has
nttmctlons for people living iu Califor
nia, with n wide continent between
them and the markets for their grain,
fruits nnd whies. They, nt all the poo-'
pie hi tho country, nro most dependent
upon the railroads, and pay lu fro.ghta
n larger proportion of tho value of Utelr
prodnOtODas. This Is the Incrltnbte re
sult of Utelr living thousands of miles
away from the markets In which they
nro oldie,si to selL and It is perfectly
ualural that they should wtah that dls-
taneo nnuiluluted, so for as (lie ntouey
ooat of It Is concerned; but the people
of the rest of tho country are not apt
to rteiv with flavor the Idea of paylug
rim saute paces us now for OeUfopnla
products nnd oontriburiog Insildcs tho
oust of their carriage. Of course they
do now pay tho cost where the prices
of H»«o products are not died by com
pottlou, but they prty voluuLtrHy. To
bo compelled l.y tho government to psy
whut they woul^ otherwise escape Is
quite another matter.
THE WEEKLY I'KKSS ON lUCO.VS
CANDIDACY.
In the opinion of the Telegraph tho
weekly press of Georg* is certainly
equal If not superior to that of any
state In tho Uulou. Iu ciPtora and
managers us a rule are men of ability
and prominence hi their respective
tvumies. They are fully abreast of tho
times and are quick to catch the drift
of public opinion. They fret the public
pulse with unerrog touch and their re
ports of the fomhttoo of affairs pollt
kxtl In tbvtr several seotions can be re
lied upon tut Just and accurate. We are
therefore much gratified to gather from
S r exchanges of-rills week That MaJ.
icon 1* beyond question the popular
favorite for the United States senate In
pearly every seottoa of tho state. We
puMiiffi below extracts from various
oounty Journals, which sustain our
cla,m that MaJ. Bacon Is by oil means
the strongest candidate now in the race
for the senate.
Our first extract to from our Hawk-
Insvllle contemporary, which Is an ad
mirable abatement of MaJ. Bacon's fit
ness for Hie poslrion:
'•Ws congratulate the whole country
upon the foie prospect of Georgia's being
represented In the next United States
by a nan whose Impress will go down
as the equal of thos giants of the earlier
days; <i man whose massive brain, parlia
mentary ability and ready powers of de
bate will it once attract the respect and
attention of hie fellow statesmen and the
admiration of the enUre American people.
MaJ. A. 0. Bacon has captured more votes
than any of hie competitors so far aud
the Indications are that he will Ml the seat
now occupied by Hon. Fatrlck Walsh.
MsJ. Bacon le a man whose ability end
loytlty to Georgia and his party ut all
times have not been given their Just
deserts. During the times that tried men's
sols this gallant officer performed well
every duty. In tho days of reconstruc
tion he rendered valuable service to the
state and all bis life liu been an active
worker In the mnks of Democracy.
“The statesman from Bibb is In every
way fitted to bo United State# senator.
He le perfectly familiar with the great
questions that confront tho American
people today, as hla speeches show .
“With Bacon In the senate It would re-
mind one of the days when the matchless
Intellect of Bob Toombs, 'the stormy pe
trol,' Olectrlfied tlie whole senate with
his power, and Ben Hill's eloquence made
the walls to shake In wonder.”
Wo give next an article from Uie Syl
vania Telephono commenting an the
speech delivered by MaJ. Bacon at that
place sonio days ago. Tlie tone of this
comment Is very happy and does but
simple Justice to MaJ. ; Bacon;
The speech delivered In Sylvnnla last.
Friday by MaJ. A. O. Bacon waa a. splen
did statesmanlike effort. It was not the
speech of a mere politician, It did not ap
peal to prejudice of passion, but It ad
dressed Itself to tho reason, and waa clear,
logical and convincing,
"With powerful argument he etaowej
the utter hopelessness of the Populists
ever accomplishing anything In the way
of federal legislation and proved with
equal force that through the Democratic
party ill the needed reforms must come.
"MaJ. Bacon does not believe In misrep
resentation or deception. He spoke his
opinions freely and candidly declaring that
there were political evils to be corrected
—but he believes In seeking through n
pnrty that le able to give It.
"The Telephone le convinced that Geor
gia could not have a better or more able
representative In tho senate of tbe United
Btatee than A. O. Bacon. In all his views
on the financial and other questions there
Is no pubttci man In the Mate that comet
nearer to our Idea of a trot opponent than
ho does. We need such men to represent
us wlioro laws that affect the prosperity
and happiness of all the people aro
framed nod we sincerely trust that Geor-
g'la will do herself benefit end honor by
still further honoring this distinguished
•on." •
We also ntll attention to thu follow
ing from tho Houston llomo Journal.
Editor Hodges wields n trenchant pen
uml never fails to go Htralfiht to the
point:
Hon. A O. Bacon Is proving by hla
speeches that ho It above par as a elates,
man, and that his Democracy doe* not
need adjustment to keep on s parity with
the Chicago platform. He would lit the
United States eenato admirably, and tho
Democrats of Georgia .seem determined
that the neat legislature shall elsct him.
“The senatorial campaign In Georgia.Is
much more satisfactory to the people th.vi
If It won so pit rate from the general Dem
ocratic campaign. The candidates are
under the direction of the Democraitc
campaign committee, and the raerlta and
success of Democracy from the burden nt
their speeches. This te much more pleas-
In* than Jotnt detjdtes, filled with self-
praise and 'abuso of the other fellow.*
Ily their speeches ye may Judge them,
and we daro say the legislature will se
lect the best or tbe lot."
Our next clipping is from the Law-
reucertlle Now*, which Is tlio repre
sentative paper of Its section mid is roe-
I'gnlxod ns being thoroughly posted on
Uio political outlook of that section of
tho state. It practically pred'ets MaJ.
lt.u\>n's election "ii the nr>t ballot:
"Bscon Is gradually lengthening hte lead
In the race for. the eenatorthlp. Many
oounttoa have instructed for him by prl
mary elections, and several senatorial
conventions have followed suit. Last
week the senatorial conventions of the
Eleventh, composed of the counties of
Terrell. Clay and Randolph, and of the
•nerenty-eeventh. composed of the coun
ties of Clark. Walton, Newton, Rockdale
and Oconee did the same thing,. Unless
there to an early turn In the tide that
has eat In hte favor, ho will have a clear
majority over the field when the legisla
ture Is elected."
We call especial attention to tho fol
having from tho Henry County Weekly,
which also predicts MaJ. Bacon’s safe
election:
"Sons of the loftiest and most patriotic
speeches ever heard In any campaign are
being made by MsJ. A O. Bacon. The me.
jor's seat In The next United States sen-
ate* seems to be practically assured, and
In Mm Georgia would have a distinguished
and able leader In that august body."
The TY'lfolr Enterprise has supported
MaJ. Bacon urvUgitly from tbe wry
first, and ttn* following clippings Indi
cate the temper ot the section repre
sented by It: *
"Tetfotr wilt make a rage corn crop
this year, and at for Bacon every nan In
It it bending Ut hie energy In that direc
tion."
"Telfair la solid tor Bacon for senator
and Turner (or where he to. We also
learn that our neighbor county. Montgom
ery. le solid (or him."
-Hen. A. O. Bacon, the leading candi
date la the senatorial rock to ehetnnc the
woods from the mountain to tho seaboard.
If he can doe owell how, what may we
expect when he dona the senatorial man
tle f
"Hon. A O. Bacon 1a being Indorsed for
the senate in every pext of the state. This
coincides with the views of the Enterprise
fully. When he gets there one of the
grandest ^intellects of the nation win be
there. Look out for a record dean, well
rounded, enviable and altogether success,
fut"
We give next a brief but pointed ar
ticle from the Blakely Advertiser,
which pays a very high compliment to
the speech delivered In Early county by
the statesman from Bibb:
"It was a great day for Democracy In
Early county last Monday, for on that
day our people were taught more of Dem
ocratic principles and the mission of thu
grand and glorious par*/ by the masterly,
clean and convincing argument of MaJ A
O. Bacon, than many had before learned
In all their lives. The message delivered
to our people by that great man was In
deed a benlsori—the strong In the faith
were strengthened, the weak made strong
and those unlike Ephrlam of old could not
but be convinced by the reaeonlng and
reasonable eloquence of tbla great statee-
Hale's Weekly, published on the op
posite side of the state and which from
the start has favored MaJ. Bacon's can
didacy, contributes the following cogent
reasons why he should be the next sen
ator:
"W« piece this week the name of Hon.
A. O. Bacon at the head of our columns
os our choice, for United States senator.
He la our choice because of hie great
ability; because of hla familiarity with all
national questions, and especially because
of hls financial views. Our people, by a
large majority, Indorse the money views
of MaJ. Bacon and will give him their
support."
We must not omit also the following
brief but oompltmcnftiry clipping from
our neighbor, the Madisonian, ono of
Uio leaders of tho. weekly press:
"From present Indications, that splen
did parliamentarian and able gentleman,
Hon, A. O. Bacon of Bibb, will do honor
to Georgia In the halla of the next na
tional senate." „
We come next to the contribution of
our contemporary, the Middle Georgia
Progress, Itself a strong and able Jour
nal:
“Hon. A. O. Bacon continues to receive
Indorsements from the people In all porta
of the state for United States senator. Ho
la the choice of tbe people for the po
sition."
Finally wo give n special from Gum
ming, Forsyth county, to tho Atlanta
Jnumnl, giving a report of MaJ. Ba
con's speech nt Gumming on Wednes
day:
"Hon. A. O. Bacon, candidate for United
States sonttbr, spoke In the court house
In Cummlng yesterday during the adjourn-
ment of court for dinner. A large crowd
was present. Ho was Introduced i>y Col.
G. L. Bell, who made complimentary ref
erences to hls public services. MaJ. Ba
con waa In fine trim, and made a master
ly argummt for Domocracy. Many say
It was ts ablest speech ever heard In For-
syth county.”
We might odd mnliy others hut lmvc
not space. We make no editorial
comment on the progress of the sena
torial campaign during thu pufct week,
simply submtttfng to our readers tho
above as bring extremely significant as
to the final result. At tho sumo tlrno
ivo cannot refrain from expressing to
our lirottiren of tho weekly press tho
conllnl niml uarncst thanks of our cn-
Uro community for their generous, and
vnlunblo support of rair brilUant follow-

THE INDIAN OF
NORTH GEORGIA
The Peculiarities of the Man Revealed
By the Flash Light of Mod
ern Science.
INTERESTING STUDY IN RED
Ur Jullen fl. Uodgetrf Writes Rntertaln-
lagljr on What II* Saw of the Red
JMau’s Characteristics at
GtlnMVlile.
While we are celebrating today the
Columbian period of ttra world's his
tory, against which, as a background,
the marvelous mysteries of advancing
civlllztloh are now being developed, the
cue object that remains In all of its
original gloom and peculiarity is the In
dian. The fUsh-llghts foil to reveal
him In any modern iittttude. He Is the
same grave, medfoatlvc, serious ethno
logical specimen ns when he first trod
the soil of darkest America.-attractive
because of his lorteSiesi, tbe Indisso
luble link between the present and the
past. So different Is he from tlie mod
ernised Tap or Chinee, that one cannot
fail to regard hls moods, and wonder
ut their meaning.
To realize all of thU, as well as to
apprentice other contrasting points of
the study, one tins only to observe the
puiihotlc attitude of that Indian who
lias endeavored to break the spell of
the past and to subject hla disposition
to fin de selele Influences. It Is espe
cially touching when developed along
Uie line of social amudement. I do not
think the average Indian Is capable of
appreciating fun, or Its modern off
spring, the joke. He Is seemingly ns
Impervious to this influence us an nlll-
wtor is to n hypodermic syringe. For
bint to be sodablq £ven among hls fel
lows Is a painful effort; to attempt to
nmuse others not of hls race or blood
Is so platonic that It would be serious
were It not for the Innate admiration
In the American breast for honest ef
fort. however unsklllfully performed.
The influence of centuries Is too'great
to be easily overcome. A mlglstler touch
Is necessary to subdue this child at the
forest to tlie swtty of this Ideal nge.
•As an Illustration of this, I witnessed
In Gainesville, the other day, whait
purpor.ted Ho be a mend of Indian ball,
or Lacrosse, no it Is called. There was
nothing French about It. however, ex
cept tho name. Everything else was
Indian. To begin with, an odd con
junction was notkwnble. A tynlcnt old
negro, raised In EUstern North Caro-
Hnt. appeared on the streets of that
quiet town In the guise of n traveling
mltmtrel. nccompinled by a band of
home fifteen or twenty Cherokee In
dians. Ordinarily, there 4s a suggestion
of romnnoe about the traveling min
strel. hot beyond the fact that In this
case the old negro was a literal one.
there was nothing appealing nbout it
The oddness of the matter consisted In
the foot that this antique relic should
undertake to chaperone am Indian
Junket, nnd that 'She red-sknts them
selves should consent to be led from
twneeful pursuits In such n manner.
Chemical affinity wtts never known
to exist before between negro nnd In
dian. It mis Interesting, therefore, nt
the beginning, to eriuhlifh nn Import
ant scientific fact! and l*o Jonrn nfter-
wirds that, combined In proper pro
portion. such elements can be made to
produce such social effects.
During tthv morning of their arrival
all paraded the streets preceded by a
drum nnd banner, the latter announc
ing in crude devices a game of Indian
ball to be played Ut the old fair
grounds that afternoon at 3 o'clock.
At the appointed hour, a small
crowd, attracted by curiosity, assem
bled to witness the performance. The
Indians were on hand to the number of
nine, accompanied bf three squaws nnd
the old negro, who assumed all the
airs at tho modern baseball manager,
though, possibly, he had never been
gloriflcd by actual contact with a spec
imen of thW 'type. lit all goes to show
how extremes may uneonsolously meet
In' the most etarthng and unexpected
manner. The Indians were all arrayed
to the right of the enclosure, where
they waited In stoical silence the as
sembling of the crowd. Not a trace of
emotion disturbed 'their sphynx-llke
friatures.'Therei wns no prellmiury Jug
gling with the umpire, no grand-stand
tactics, no score cards. Everything waa
solemn, tt might have been a funeral
about to be celebrated.
At last ilnte was culled, and all arose
nnd went to a distant corner of tho
field beyond a little ridge of clay, be
hind which they proceeded to array
themselves for the k ime, or rathsr to
disarray themselves, for when they r -
Uppeared’ 'they wereeven more scantily
clad than the modern society gown
allows. In (jet, tltcy were stripped to
the waist and also from tlie knees
down. Bach carried in hls hund two
native Instruments which were used
In the game handling the ball. Those
resembled cho modern tennis racket,
only they, were not so large, and were
hollow nt the end Instead of flu't.
To the center of the field they came
with a bound nnd nwhoop that echoed
through foe town nnd loot Itself in the
distant Blue Ridge. As they neared the
mirk their mked bodies presented all
the colors of the spectrum. Somo wore
streaked like the zebra with yellow
ocher, and outers were decorated with
red and black designs, some of which
were very artistic. Their Wees, too,
wore similarly t.ittoskl. and. altogeth
er, the effect was picturesque.
One was not long In discovering that
the social game they werraabout to In
dulge In was, as for ns they were con
cerned. n serious piece of work. As
soon as they reached the line they di
vided Into fours, each four taking one
side of tbe line. Then, at a signal, nil
grounded their rackets, and tho umpire
appeared In their midst with a. ball
about the size of a walnut There was
no dlsrobement of tinfoil, examination
of stitches, or the like, tts In tho mod
ern evolution of baseball, but simply a
a toss-up, whereupon there ImmedlaM-
ly ensued a Vrranfote for Its possession.
To do this they could only use the
rockers, not being allowed to touch the
ball with- then - hands until It had been
gotten from tho ground, when they
could tike tt from the rackets and rush
with It to ibe distant goal. Of course,
when either ride succeeded In securing
It and bearing It safely there. Vt scored
a point and counted au Inning, the per
formance being repot'•<*! until tbe close
of ftae game. The side that scored the
greater number of points was declared
the winner.
K will be rfbsrrvcd that there are
(mints of resemblance to tin* modern
game of football and the an-riom shin
ny. with asllght dash of tennis. Great
opportunity Is - afforded for rapid and
excited action, and to soy that three
lit Hans availed themselves of it would
be a mild chartccerlradon of their ef
forts. Absolutely no regard for the

feeling.', of each other was apparent.
In tlielr efforts to secure the ball, to
teach the guul with It, and to prevent
all of tltis'toelne done, there were ath
letic exhibHlons that were really pyro-
'tvchnkal In 'their effect. All ot their
futures were handsomely trimmed, and
they were very muscular and agile, and
it was an exclUng contest from start
to finish, with the element of doubt
always uppermost. At no moment dur
ing the game was there a lack of wres
tling, runnlg, jumping or struggling In
one form or another. It reminded me
of descriptions I ha£ read of the an
cient Olympian games, /wily this was
marked by the natural’grace of sav
agery that cannnot attach to scientific
exhibitions. When the goal was reached
there was no shout of triumph. Tho
same serious, determined expression
settled on the viator's face, and he re
turned to the starting point with much
the same manner ot one who lias fin
ished splitting a large lot of rails nnd
Is about to engage another lot. The
fun of the thing Is apparent only to
the spectator and to tho man who* han
dles the gate receipts. The Indian is
not "in It.'*
•And 'thus tt proceeded until the suit
sank low, and creeping shadows
warned them that they must be has
tening to the distant wigwam, on the
outsklrcs of the town. I asked the old
negro 'to tell me something about these
Indians and himself. He said, In reply,
that they, too, lived In North Carolina,
in a country adjoining hls home,, nnd
that they were for the most part farm-
*rs*who hnd good crops. Every year
about *tnli time, he said, when the
crops were told by, ho takes a party of
them on a. walking jaunt through
southern Tennessee nnd northern Geor
gia. agreeing to pay ithem each *10 per
month to accompany him. Tho promi
nent Indians in hls party were Hard
Htckorynut and Red Hornbuckte.
