Word negro is not mentioned i the Am-!
Ehama Constitution and yet he is dLsfr.-mchi.s—‘
ed. And blamed well too.
~ And not on account of race color or pre
vious condition of servitude. A loop was ‘
laft in the Constitution of the U. S., the
boys found it and like the okl pig went
through it.
A loop was rot left in the Constitution of
the U.S. that there should not be any more
slavery permitted, and hence no state has
tried to do so.
Six Southern states have profited by the
slip wording of the U, S. Constitution, and
gotten rid of the negro vote without violating
the wording of the constitution of U. S.

When you have to vote in a law is the time
to kick. You have to vote in the disfran
chisement measures, If it disfranchises a
siogle white man a hundered thousand white
folks will be with you to beat the bill, who |
are Hoke Smithy men because they know he }
dont mean to disfranchise the WHITE MEN
at all, |
Folks know that Hoke means to make the
vings give txe people a fair deal or raise & !
fuss about it. People are going to vote fo |
hima, And the rings trusts and other birds
may do what they please, but the people are
the power in Georgia, Rockefellar aud Mor
gan and Bekmont havent got the last rivet
driven.
Kick when you ¢an and kick hard before
your chains are riveted,
We dont want any job, we aint halding
any job, we are not thinking eof asking for
any job, and blame it all we dont want any,
an:l hence we propose to vote for Hoke
Surith who has promised noboldy, nebodys
friend, nobodys cousin, v nobodys sou
any job.
We are free and like to see a free ¢an

ed Jonah (Folks that dont belive that Jonah
swallowed the whale) can lay another sen
i ience to their inmeost hearts and say, when
the grass encompaseth a field of cotton* like
the legislator encompasseth a wine supper
with accessories tendered him by the lobbyist
who lyeth in wait for his undoing.
Days there are when the big lies ard usual
ly told abeut big creps, tut the big politic.
| lies have them skinned a mile and thep have

Days ate these when the barbecue and the
| beer, like a lion and lamb lie dowh together in
the pit of the stamach of the barbecueist, and
ae cometh home and feeleth like he had eateu
a mill rock and pays out three dollars for med
KKine, and deulles ato more shapes in three
seconds that an acrobat conld in two hours.
. These are the ays when snakes are out
ind we see real snakes and dont have to to

L Days these are whew the voung couple re
