The situation Is that Georgia has tho

faithful representative, while gaining
tho services of an equally able nud
faithful reprweutatlvo m nuother sta-
Hon, or of retaining Mr. Turner's ser

evident to us that Georgia will lie bet

The people, In onr opinion, should
have little regard for the personal am
bition of either gontlemnn, but only for
1he public Interest. Mr. Turner Is cer

claims that the injections will prevent
a fatal result when they nre made after

The scrum of Hie Iduod of thu immune
animal contains a substance hostile to

Ileved that this substance, when intro

the diphtheritic poison if the Injections

GEORGIA FARMS AND FARMERS.
GOOD ROADS.
The people of Mecklenburg comity,
N. C„ from belug Indifferent nnd hos
tile to ruud Improvement, have come to
be most enthusiastic on the subject.
Forty miles of atone road have already
been laid, and the work la being rapidly
extended. At first the farmers, as In
other parts of the country, were op-
posed to paying tho extra rand tax, be
lieving tliut they were uol to ho spe
cially bcnollled, or that they would
liuVe to pay tor the advantages accru
ing to others. But they are .now eager
to stand their share of the expense unit
are clamorous for oxtoiislohs, even of
fering to deliver stotto free In order to
uxpcdlto tho work. The labor Is done
by convicts, and tho Telford system is
used. The roadbed Is made thirty feot
wide and tho metal, ns road engineers
cull tho stone, Is placed over about half
of Its width., Tho other fifteen feet of
Uni roiul Is made smooth for a summer
road, being, when dry and hard, much
better for driving over than a stone
road. Other counties of the state, It Is
reported, ore atieut to adopt the Meck
lenburg plan. Sumo of the benefits de
rived from good roads were set forth
ut the recent Charlotte rojul congress.
One of the spoukers said. “Tlie social
isolation of country life Jias bceu great

horses anil better vehicles. Four hales

ABOUT NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
The bolt of the Louisiana sugar
planters, breruse the Democratic party
would not continue to -pay them n
bounty of 2 cents per pound on their
product, doer tail seem .to worry the
unterrWlcd IXmouractlc newspaper* of
Georgia. Here are a few opinions
about It:
The Telfair Enterprise says: The

LET X EH FROM MR. WATERMAN.
To the Editor of the Telegraph: I
learn that -mt copied na editorial or
part of It, from a recent Issue of the
Hawklnsvllle Dispatch aud News <n
regard to Speaker Crisp mid the sena-
t-irshlp, and that you made certain com
ments thereupon, based on tbe assump
tion that 1 wrote the editorial, und Hint
you attached special significance to it
because tUe writer Is -private secretary
to the sp-iker.
I failed to see that issue of tho Tele
graph aud know what ivu* In It ouly
by hearsay, and 1 have only just now
heard of It. As a matter of justice to
all conoorned, permit ine to say that
I did not write Uio editorial in the Dis
patch nnd News, and knew nothing of
it until It appeared In prim. Hence
there Is no significance attaching to It,
as you suppose. Indeed, It would have
been manifestly improper for mo to
write such an article. It expresses the
hope tliut tho speaker’s friends will
‘‘quit annoying lilm to outer the sena
torlal race." Sucn an expression from
me would he simple Impertinence.
I am not the editor of the Dispatch
and News, but corresponding editor;
and I am not responsible for what tbe
paper says outside of lily contributions
to It over my Initials. . .
Speaker Crisp's position In regard to
the senatorshtp ought to be well under
stood. Some months ago a number of
the citizens of Rome, Gu., wrote him a
letter. In which they urged him to an-
nounce himself a candidate, aud as
sured him Hint they were confident he
would be elected. In reply he wrote
them a letter in which he declined to
i-omply with their request, aud gave
his reasons therefor. Tills letter was
pretty generally published throughout
the sta to. So far ns 1 know, he holds
the same position now that he did then.
If he has given any expression to the
contrary, either In publlo. or private, I
am not aware of it. Very- reaps fifully

Monticello, Sept. 24.—(Special.)—Supe
rior court Is In oosslon, Judge Jenkins
presiding. At noon a large audience
gathered In the court house to tlston t‘o
MaJ. Bacon on the auctions of the day.
MaJ. Bacon was Introduced by Col. Wil
lis Newton dt Machen, chairman of the
Democratic executive committee.
QlaJ. Bacon hi opening Ms speech said
tt was the first time he ever spoke In
Monticello. hut not hi* first effort In
Jasper county. Tweoty-elx year* ago,
In 1803, he was presidential elector tor
the then -Fourth district, and the au
thorities of Jasper selected -Hillsboro a*
the rallying point. -He spoke then In
behalf of the Democratic party, and af
ter the lapse of twenty-alx years, under
assignment of the state' executive
committee,he is In Jasper county again
speaking for -the party, and In all these
years there was In -him no variableness
nor shadow of turning.
The epoch we have passed through
during 'these twenty-six years has been
eventful, he said. In that time we have
had only one party In Georgia—a most
remarkable fact—without a parallel In
history.
Our people had been oppressed by
war and sorely tried, and an enemy was
at the door 'threatening our very civili
zation. All that men hoid most dear
was.at stake. Our social fabric was in
danger. All other Issues fell inito Insig
nificance. Such conduct challenged the
admiration of the world. In that great
day of trial there was 'but one party,
one rook of refuge, one protector, and a
maat took It as an Insult to be railed
other -than a Democrat.
We are now.however, confronted with
different Issues. It is not so easy to
unite our people. Demoralization has
followed 'hard time*, low prices of cot
ton, and depression of business, and
men under financial pressure have be
come more loose In their notion* and
mare careless for their country's good.
In the day of our unity we realized that
the Republican party was hostile to ev
ery Southern interest, and today that
party has relaxed none of Its hostility
und enmity.
ilaj. Bacn set forth the Republican
doctrine and showed up its antagonism
to Southern views and Ideas, always ar
raying Itself against the South. The
Republican press and magazine* and Its
entire literature misrepresented the
South and Its people and held then) ur
In a false light before the world, om
Republicans were never content unite*
they were striking at the very root of
our hupplneas and prosperity. ,
Under such conditions no voter should
sever his connection with the Demo
cratic party, the only party which could
resist the evil legislation of the rich
Republican Party of the North. While
the DemocrVtlo party has been the
means by which In the past we have es
tablished a supremacy of virtue and in
telligence over carpet-bag rule, nnd
while :t has stood for nil that was best
tn the past. If It Is not now the cham
pion of the principles on which rest
the fabric of 'our prosperity and happl
ness It has no claims to support.
"What party can best advance your
Interests?" he asked. "Is the. Demo
cratic party still entitled to bur loyal
ty? If It 1* the party -best calculated to
subserve the Interests of the people
then no man has the right to csreletwly
tain another and thus break down that
which Is best for the country's good."
The voting power Is a serious rcapon
Blblllty. It Is the duty of a man not to
vote carelessly, but for the best inter
ests of his country. How shall the
people vote?
Some say the best Interest of the
country 4s In the Democratic .party;
othens say the party has forfeited its
right to the people'* confidence nnd
trust. It is a melancholy spectacle to
see some of our people going Into a
third party and setting up a separate
existence. Independent of the old party,
which must result In evil to us all tn
producing passion, strife, Jealously,
prejudice and 111 will. Every considera
tion of prudence, of duty, of wisdom
warns us not to divide, not to separate,
not to destroy our unity, but to remain
one people, on* brotherhood, one party.
We cannot afford division as long no the
Republican party, our natural enemy.
Is alive and eager to strike a blow at
our power and strength and prosperity.
The great principles on -which the fab
ric of Southern happiness nnd Southern
prosperity rests arc found only In the
Democra tic party.
The charge, continued the speaker,
made against the party Is based on the
Idea that our country Is not prosperous.
Befre we should be condemned for wan t
of prosperity it should be shown that
the Democratic party produced this
want of -prosperity. This country Is en-
ilfrled to the largest prosperity. Its agri
cultural and mineral resources nnd Its
ruturel advantages entitle H to the
highest degree of prosperity. What are
the causes of a want of prosperity? The
Democratic party, recognising these
causes, planted Itself on a platform to
remove the ca-uses and give the people
not only more comfort, but advance
ment and progress.
The conditions mtut be favorable be
fore a nun can make money, and the
laws must be such that what he has
shill not be unjustly filched from him.
The tariff and the money question are
the two great questions. The tariff re-
lat« to the question whether a man
shall keep that which ts hi* own or
permit laws to be made to force the man
to stand and deliver hi* own to enrich
■nether. The McKinley law will be put
back on us If the Republicans get back
in power, and the people of Georgia will
pay 113,000.000 to 820.00e.000 In tariff
taxes,and two-thirds of It will go not to
the treusury.tnt the pockest of manu
facturers. Tbe -McKinley law drew
from the people of the United States
over and above the old tariff law 8185,-

the view that the South has no rights
they are bound to respect
A people cannot be prosperous with
out a proper financial system. A proper
financial system is one that does not
conduce to AUHnat prices. A man will
not invest In land or a house If he
knows It will depreciate In value. The
result Is he lets his money lay Idle.
The result of Idle money Is stagnation

The Democratic party, national and

farther than the Chicago platform and
looks more to American legislation with

demands sound money as necessary to

money. In France the per capita in silver
Is $18; in the United States It Is $8. If
all the silver dug In the United: States
In one year were coined. Into dc liars, 4t
would only be $1 per capita. Hence, we
are in no immedate danger of being flooded
with silver beyond, the danger line. From
1813 to '73 silver was at a premium; Its
degradation came after 1873. Sliver will
be restored. We will have bimetallism
yet. It is coming.
With a contraction all men see the fu
tility of a progressive industry. There
Is absence of investment; enterprise lags,
and Idleness usurps the place of energy.
Crops may ever be so -rood, and man nnd
nuture work co-operating and people do
ali they can, yet mohey is essential to
prosperity, and there must be a proper
circulating medium and a proper circula
tion of money.
The system of congesting all the money
In big centres will not do. It hurts the
South and those of us living on the cir
cumference of the Union. We need, state
banks under proper guards to gtve us a
local currency for home purposes and to
be auxiliary to federal money.
The Populists have no national hopes.
They can never control. A party must
have power, a controlling power, to effect
reforms or enact a.iy leginlatlon. No one
looks to the Republican party to lower
the tariff or reform the financial system.
The Populists cannot do It, so why throw
away votes on a party so weak? We
only weaken ourselves to bother with
them. We Increase the power of the Re
publican' party when we vote with the
Populists. All roads which lead from tho
Democratic party lead to the Republican
party.
Accept nq doctrine, said the speaker im
pressively. ‘‘Affiliate with no party which
leads from Democracy. The old Demo
cratic party, with all Its faults* 1b the
best party in the country, iweep it us the
fathers left It—the friend of the people."
The Populists, ho continued, when in
convention In Atlanta Indorsed the Oma
ha platform, and accepted It as their
national creed. That platform does not
suit the South. It is a Western platform.
It is at war with our Ideas of this govern,
menu ' )», ,i
The Democratic party has not forfeited
its right to the confidence of the people.
It is struggling in the. rlgU’t direction,
Tbe task of reform Is no easy one. A
vo* woriT lies before the party. The
house is with us. snd the senate, though
reluctant, is getting started in the right
direction. The clouds have a silver, .’ln-
Ing. .
No one can say the Democratic party
ha* not done well lh the state of Georgia.
For twenty-three year* It has teen in
power, and for these years, It has, aa a
party, been true to the people, und mind
ful of the poor and'bccdy.
Maj. Bacon closed his speech with a
strong appeal to the people not to allow
anything to beguile them Into strange
paths, but to remain together. The South
needs unity in the future os In the past.
Unity gave her strength*oni power.
Is is Impossible to give the reader a
faint conception of Maj. Bacon'll speech
In this short and -mperfcct report. But
the report is not without uso If it whet the
attitude of the realer to go and hear Maj.
Bacon expound the great principles of true
Democracy.
One would never know from Maj. Ba
con's speech In Monticello that he was a
candidate for the United States senate.
He mode no allusion to It. His controlling
thought seemed to be tn restore to the
people their old love for tbe party, and
to qicken their enegies In *ts behalf.
Nor did he alude to the letter he wrote
some sixteen years ago, when the Repub
lican party had for :ts policy the demone
tization of stiver, in which letter he set
forth evils which Would come to us from
such a policy. He leplcted* the then
trouble which would follow. It would
prodifce contraction, and contraction
would produce agricultural and industrial
depression and falling prices, and to
prevent these inevitable disasters he
plead for state banks and urged a course
in congress of Immediate agitation of the
state bank question, so that the
consent of the West and North would be
had in time to guard agilnst the coming
day of depression end stagnation. Others
did not. at the time, sympathize with his
penetrating insight Into the future and his
suggestion was not acted upon.
JASPER WILL DECLARE FOR A SEN
ATOR TODAY.
Machen. Sept. 24.—(Special.Maj. A. O.
Bacon addressed a targe audience today
at Montfoello. His solid logic was most
convincing. The people enjoyed his great
speech. It was Instructive and educative.
Jaspen* county. If put to the vote by pri

farmers are with him. ‘
Jasper county expresses her choice for
senator tomorrow, and Judge Turner Is
booked for a, speech on that day and will
