rior court Is In session. Judge Jenkins
presiding. At noon a large audience
gathered In the court house to listen tb
Maj. Bacon on the oueedlons of the day.
Maj. Bacon waa Introduced by Col. Wil
lis Newton of Machen. chairman of the
Democratic executive committee.
dlaj. Bacon in opening Ws speech oald
it was the first time he ever spoke In
M-ontlcello. but not his first effort ln
Ja*per county. Twenty-six years ago,
ln 1868. he was presidential elector for
the then Fourth district, and the au
thorities of Jasper selected Hillsboro as
tbe rallying point He spoke then tn
behalf of the Democratic party, and af
ter the lapse of twenty-six years, under
assignment ot the state executive
commltt«»,he la in Jasper county ugnln

years there wee In him no variableness
nor Shadow of tumlnet.

during these twenty-six years has been
eventful, he said. In that time we have
had otrfy one party In Georgia—a most
remarkable fact—without a parallel ln
history.
Our people had -been oppressed by
war and sorely tried, and an enemy wan
ut the door (threatening our very civili
zation. All that men hold moat dear
was at stake. Our social fabric was ln
danger. All other Issues fell Into Itulg-
ntfioonce. Such conduct challenged the
admiration of the world. In that great
day of trial there wua but one party,
one rook of refuge, one protector, and a
toon took It as an Insult to be called
other than a Democrat.
We are now.however. confronted with
different issues. It la not so easy to
units our people. Demoralization has
followed hard times, low prices uf cot
ton, and depression of business, and
men under financial pressure have be
come more loose ln their notions and
nwig vareless 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 noelllily
und enmity.
Maj. Been aet forth the Republican
doctrine and showed up its untagonlsm
to BJUthem views and Ideas, always ar
raying itself agtlnst the South. The
Republican press and magazines and Its
entire literature misrepresented the
South and lu people and held them up
In a false light before the world, and
Republicans were never content unlec.t
.they were striking at the very root of
our happiness and prosperity.
Under such condition* no voter should
sever hie connection with the Demo
cratic party, the only pally which could
resist che evil legislation ot the rich
Republican petty of the North. While
the Democratic party has been the
means by which In tbe past we havt es
tablished a supremacy ot virtue and In
telligence over carpet-bog rule,' end
while it baa stood tor alt that was beet
In the post. If It la not now the cham
pion of the principles on which rest
the fabric of bur prosperity and happi
ness it has no claims to support.
“What pargy can beet advance your
Interests!" he asked. "Is the Demo
cratic party atilt entitled to our loyal
ty? If it ia the party best calculated to
subserve the Interests of the people
then no man has -the right to caraleMly
join another and thus break down that
which la best for the country's good.”
The voting twwor Is a serious respon
sibility. It la the duty of a man not to
vote carelessly, but for the best Inter
est* of htx country. How shall the
people votef
Same aay the best Interest of the
country ts In the Democratic party;
others aay ths party has forfeited Its
right to tbe people's confidence and
trust. It ts a melancholy spectacle to
sec some of our people going Into a
third party and aattlng up a separate
existence. Independent of the old parly,
which must mult In avll to us sit In
producing passion, strife. Jealously,
prejudice and 111 will. Every considers-
tlon of prudence, of duly, of wisdom
warns us not to divide, not to asperate,
not to destroy our unity, but to remain
one people, one brotherhood, one party.
We cannot afford division as tong as the
Republican party, our natural enemy.
Is alive and eager -to strike a blow at
our poorer and strength and prosperity.
The great principles on which the fab
ric of Southern happiness and Southern
prosperity rests tee found only tn tbe
Democratic party.
The charge, continued the speaker,
made against the party ts based on the
Idea that our country Is not prosperous.
Beftw we should be condemned for wont
of pnoesrrity lt should be shown that
tbe Democratic party produced this
want of prosperity. This country k en-
,deledLw the largest prosperity. Its agri
cultural and mineral resources and Its
natural advantages entitle K to the
highest degree of prosperity. What are
the causes of a want ot prosperity? The
Democratic party, recognising these
causes, planted Itself on s platform to
remove tbe cause* and give the people
not only more comfort, but advance
ment and progress.
Tbe conditions must be favorable be
fore a man ran mike money, and the
taws must be such that what be baa
shall not be unjustly filched from him.
The tariff end tbe money question are
th* two great questions. The tariff re-
latea to tbe question whether a fl
shall keen that which Is hi* own
permit laws«o be made to fores then _
‘to stand and deliver his own to enrich
another. Tie li. Kline, mw wiii be put

The McKinley bill bns been killed; now
the ne*. thing o do Is -to reatore silver

Depression follows falling prioes and
falling prlcas followed demonetization
of silver. Restore sliver. Gold and sll-

F 1 u I'hl*!'tr not for Georgia atone,
bu-t for 70,000.000 of people. To do -this
properly takes time, and we should not
grow too Impatient.
The Republican party says In Its plat-
form It favors bimetallism, but plants
Ihtevnatlonai agreement only:
the Democratic party favors It by Inter
national agreement or by safeguards of
legislation; th, p opu „. t j? r , r ,ro!

The Democratic party, national and
state, favors the restoration of silver as
prior to 1871. The state platform goes
farther than the Chicago platform and
looks more to American legislation with
proper safeguards. The Democratic party
demands sound money as moessary to
proeperity-
IVe are not threatened with too much
money. In France the per capita In silver
Is 618: In th* United State* It Is 18. It
all the silver dug In the United States
In one year were coined Into d< liars, It
would only be « per capita. Hence, we
are Is no Immedste danger at being flooded
with silver beyond the danger line. From
mi to 73 silver was nt a premium; Its
degradation came afier 1873. fllver will
be restored. We will have hltnetalllem
yet. It Is coming.
With a contraction all men see the fu
tility of a progressive Industry. There
la abnence of investment; enterprise lags,
and Idleness usurps the place of energy.
Crop* may ever be so jood, and msn and
nature work co-operating and people do
all they can, yet money 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 hurt* the
South and those of us living on the cir
cumference of the Union. W* need state
banks under proper guards to give 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 mm.
have power, a controlling power, to effect
reforms or enact a ty leglelnUon. 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 vote* on n party so weak? We
only weaken ourselvee to bother with
them. We Increase the power of th* Re
publican party when w# vote with the
Populists. All roads which lead from the
Dotnocratia party lead to the Republican
party.
Accept no doctrine, said th* speaker Im
pressively. "Affiliate with no party which
ezds from Democracy. Th* old Demo
cratic party, with 411 its faults, ts th*
best party In the country, j.eep It as the
fathers left It—th* friend of the people.”
Th* Populists ho continued, when in
convention in Atlanta Indorsed the Oma
ha platform, and aoceptt'1 It sa their
national creed, mat plattorm aoea not
■ult the 8outh. lt Is a Western plattorm.
It 1* at war with onr Ideas of Ihla govern
ment.
The Democratic party ha* not forfeited
It* right to ta* confidence of the people.
It, Is struggling in th* right direction.
The task of reform la no easy one. A
vos work lies before the parly. Th#
house Is with .ps, end the senate, thoueh
reluctant. Is getting started In the right
■tlrortlon. Th* clouds have s ellver 'In

No one can say the Democratic party

party, been true to the people, and mind

Jitters.
Atlanta, Sept 24. -(Special.)—Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson was at campaign head
quarters today.
One of the matters brought up and
discussed was the card published by
Mrs. Julia Rowe of Meriwether county,
about wli.ch the Populist papers and
speakers have made such a noise. Airs.
Rowe alleged thnt Mr. Atkinson owned
a third Interest ln a tract ot land of
which she owned a two-thirdu interest,
and thnt Mr. Atkinson foreclosed nnd
sold without giving her any notice, lu
refutation of all that boa boon said
about the matter, Mr. Atkinson today
said:
“It la one ■ more instanca where a
man’s generosity la turned against him
in an effort to Injure him by tbe un
grateful recipient of his kindness. Mrs.
ltowe is not (as tbe third purty people
In some sections of the state are cir
culating) a colored woman, but is a
white wotnao, about whom 1 will say
nothing unkind, feeling thnt lu what
site does she la largely the tool of an
other.
It Is true, as she states, that In a
tract of 130 |not 120) acres she and her
children owned a two-third Interest and
that I owned a one-third .ntereat. Af
ter the dentil of her husband I went to
tee Mr*. Itowe'e father, who was man
aging her business affairs for her and
who Is a man of considerable property,
and offered to divide the land, taking
my one-thlnl and she to tako her two-
thirds. Thi* he refused to do, miles* I
would take my one-third 1“ the rear of
the farm, which portion of the hrod did
not touch either a public or a prlrnto
road nt any point I declined to do
this, but offered to take my share by
ruunlng a line entirely dirough It, thus
giving me a narrow strip ihat would
front on the public road. As he would
not consent to this proposition nt mine,
I then proposed to divide the land In
half and to pay her for the difference
bctweou my ouo-thlnl au<l the halt l
would get nearly twice ns mneh an I
would sell my one-third Interest to her
for. This, also, he refused to do. Be
ing unable to secure a division of tho
property by any of thoso liberal offers.
I prepared an upplicatlnu to Bin court
to appoint ootnmissioners to divide the
land, giving mu my one-thlnl uud she
her two-third*. Notice was served on
Mra. Rowe and her" children a good
long lime before court met thnt th *
application would lie made. When I
reached court she had no (hie there to
represent her and I was unwilling to
proceed until she had. I accordingly
bad the court to appoint a guardian ait
lltum for each of the children rod sent
word to' her father, Mr. Heed, who
lived eleven miles hi lhi country, to
come to town lhe next day ami look
after the matter. The next day hc
came ami otijraurd to ilia taking of ao
order to divide tbe land, saying to me
that he did not want it divided hut
wanted It sold; that the place was too
far from him uad ne wanted to move
his daughter leaver to hit place. In
accordance with ql« wish.* I then
changed the applkc.to.i so ns to pr
vide for 1he sale of ibo entire piece of
land and for a llvisi—i of the proo-.ils
of such sale. This was doue, It will be
understood, at his suggestion uud nftet
due notice hod been g.ven to Mrs. Itowo
uud card of her children.
"Tho order wi* then taken, was j
signed by tho court ami cowm'sslonfr*
appointed—aa gaiff men si there arc
in Merlwther county, neighbors of Mrs.
Rowe, living froiu sixteen to eighteen
miles from where I live. After this I
had nothing to Jo with the land I ratio-
action, the comm'asianer* advertising
It regularly and ih-i selling it. I was
not present when It was sold, hut had
authorized my brother to make It bring
a reasonable price. Mrs. Uowe was
present, ns was her father, who was
amply able to nav* bought it himself
If It had sold .oo cheap. It was as
fairly conducted a Jud'clal sale as was
ever conducted In the stale of Georgia.
"Up to recent rime, the only thing I
bare heard lr the way of a complaint
from Mrs. Itowe was that the eotnmls-
sionera did not pay over to her at once
her share of the proceeds of tbe sale.
When ! bowl of tbt* I wrote hsr. urg
ing her to have guardians appointed
for her cblldrvo, amt lhe comuiUelonera
would then pay over the money. This
she declined to do. The e.snm'salonon
objected to paying over tbe money be
cause there was * question as to
whether or not she was ent'tli-I lo l> or
whether It belonged to her aud the I
children together. They refused to
take any risk ln the matter, hut waited
until the court coaveaed, hi order that
they might nay U out under th - order
of Judge Harris. Wh.-u court convened
this wa* done nnd tho money was paid |
over to Mrs. Rowe, t had nothing what
ever to do with tho money After the
sale of Utc land—It was s matter en
tirely with tho commissioner*.
"Mr. Read. Mrs. Rowe’s father, la not
mad with me about this transaction; he
ia mad with me because on one occa
sion. In a business frottor. I told him
vary frankly whet I thought of him.
This he did not have the manhood to
recent, but seeks to raatnt it now .In
this cowardly manner.
"Mr. itowe died in US9t So
The years 1891-8193 I permitted her
to remain on the place ami instructed
Mr, Walker, who was looking after my
business down there, not to collect any
r nt from her, but to let her have 1L
It '.till thus he seen that I gave her the
rent of the utaco for four yearn; and
: one of the third porty people who
ve seen tit to criticize this iraiwc-
lion. on an untrue HUteinent of facto,
has given her a hundredth part as
much on I have. I hove, I uin confi
dent. given her and her children. In the
rent of this land, more even than her
father has given her since thezleeth of
Itowe.
"The attack which has been made on
m" about tills matter has, if possible,
strengthened me ln the community
where she lives, because there the peo
ple know the facta and ran base their
Judgment on them. In 4h* primary
election In the district in which she re
sides I received every vote that waa
cast, and will receive la the coming
election the vote of every Democrat in
that district, unless It be the vote of
Mr. Read himself, and I don't know to'
which party he belongs—nor do I sup
pose anyone else knows.
