HOMKR, HA., TUESDAY September 0, 1892.
An Apology.
Some weeks ago we stated that we
could not support Rev. Thad Pickett,
the present nominee of tho people’s
party for congress from this (ninth)
congressional district* That state
ment was made viewing the situation
from a prejudiced standpoint born of
misunderstandings, and we hereby
apologise and declare that, having
a better view of the matter, and seeing
and talking with Mr. Pickett person
ally, our opinion has changed, and we
now think there is no reason why any
poople’s party man should not support
him.
People who are politically opposed
to Mr. Pickett, who know him per
sonally am not speak otherwise than
in the most commendable terms of
the man, and if liis political enemies
ean find no fault with his character
we are assured that his politics is all
right, for the people’s party is on the
side of godliness.
Wo here declare that we have re
considered, and will heartily support
Mr. Pickett, not only because he is
the nominee of the party of our
choice, but we have every reason now
to believe that he is thoroughly in
sympathy with the cause, and is suffi
ciently tenacious to stand un for the
rights of the people Ist the face of all
opposition.
We think the above apology due
Mr. Pickett,, and we hope that the
democratic party brethren who were
so ready to reproduce our other
statements in reference to the brother
will please copy this, that we may be
placed in proper position.
The Athens Banner seems to be in
earnest in his appeals to the third
partyites to come back to the demo
cratic party ranks. Wonder what he
wants with us; he says his crowd is
going to ont vote us. The Bannei
ought to remember that all the peo
ple have not yet forgotten God.
Our Candidates.
The poople’s party is accused of
being a band of disappointed office
seekers, but Banks county’s experi
ence in tning to get up a ticket, or
to get men to let their names be used,
proves that our friends the enemy
occupy the same position in making
that assertion that they do in every
other argument—they don’t confine
themselves to facts.
However, while we had some trou
ble in getting men to take the field
we have the pleasure of knowing that
the names we place before the people
far their suffrage are as good as the
best. Banks county cannot boast of
purer, more earnest and devoted men
than those the primary last Tuesday
selected to carry the banner of the
people’s party fc> the sonate and house
of representatives.
Rev. C. T. Burgess, the nominee of
the people’s party for the senate from
the 33rd district, composed of Banks,
Jackson and Hall, is a Baptist minis
ter of purity and ability, fearless in
debate, and a whole soul reformer,
lie will aepresent the people of the
state in a most acceptable manner.
Mr. C. Chitwood, the nominee for
representative, is one of Banks’ most
honored citizens, a member of the
Baptist church and is enthusiastically
enlisted in the cause of the people.
With such men ns our standard
bearerH there is uo such word ns fail.
John B. Gordon says that Tom
Watson will be defeated if money
will defeat him. One hundred and
fifty thousand dollars will be speut in
the tenth this fall, so says John B.
Gordon. That’s the way honest peo
plo carry elections, eh ?
A vote for Weaver is a vote for
Cleveland.—Denver (Col.) Republi
can, republican.
A vote for Weaver is a vote for
Harrison.—Athens Banner, democrat
ic.
It surely sounds like somebody has
—well, not exactly confined them
selves strictly to the truth. And yet
we don’t know; both may be right.
A vote for Weaver may be a vote for
both Cleveland and Harrison—to stay
at home.
Same Old Song.
What a country this is that we live
in, and wbat queer people we are to
be sure. If we could only see our
selves just as we are for a little while
how horrible we would feel.
Bill Arp, the noted philosopher of
Atlanta Constitution fame, writing
from Texas to that world renowned
conscientious (?) sheet some days ago,
says that this howl of the third party
about government ownership of rail
roads makes him sick.
Poor Billy! We’re sorry for him.
But if the old man had sense enough
to see wlmt he is saying ho would
kill himself for being such a fool.
Uncle William says that the rail
roads are not making any money; on
the contrary are sinking money, which
fact is attested by the roads constant
ly falling into the hands of receivers.
Those statements being facts why
not relieve the railroad companies of
the onerous i ask of operating a busi
ness that i costing more money than
ean l>e g >.,eu out of it t Why com
pell a few individuals to furnish trans
portation for tiie whole people ? The
government has uo legal right to
force its subjects to engage in a busi
ness that is not remunerative.
Why does these railroad magnates
desire to be let alone, and to be per
mitted to continue to carry on an
unprofitable business? The govern
ment can better afford to lose money
than a few of its subjects, then why
not let the government furnish and
keep in operation the means of trans
portation ?
However, it is useless to call atten
tion to these things; it’s the same old
story of inconsistency.
Smsuh ’Em in Nar,u..(.
What is a republic?
Is it a government of tbe people, by
the people and for the people?
Is it a government where the people
are given a chance to say what sort of
laws shall be enacted? If it is, then the
United States is not a republic. Money,
not people, is the power today that
wields the destinies of politics in this
country.
Take a look at Washington and see
v/hat sort of men hold down seats in the
senate. Look at them and try to deter
mine how they got there.
Purchased legislatures and outraged
ballot boxes stand responsible for the
presence in the United States senate of
such men as Warren, Sherman, Cary
et al.
The people never sent them there.
They are there as the paid attorneys
of cattle rings, national bankers’ rings
and corporations, and aB such legislate
special favor to them at the expense of
the people.
Snch being the case—and you can’t
deny it is so—then this thing we eall a
republic is a misnomer and so called to
fool the people.
Friends, let ns rise np and change this
condition of things.
All that is needed is an honest heart
and the courage and determination to
fight.
Low, sneaking cunning only needs a
crashing smash in the face to knock it
entirely out of the ring.
Smash ’em this fall at the ballot box
and restore to thq people the right to
govern.—Denver (Colo.) Road.
The People's Candidate.
The nomination of J. B. Weaver for
president by the People’s party empha
sizes more strongly than any other nomi
nation could the sentiment of the stal
wart wing of tho party. General Weaver
represents in a pre-eminent degree the
western and southern view of the polit
ical situation. His election would mean
prosperity to these two sections without
impairment to the east. Able, earnest
and fearless, he has advocated the prin
ciples upon which the People's party Is
based over since the villainies which
culminated in the disasters and desola
tion of “Black Friday” were mado ap
parent. He takes the field against the
combined forces of tho two old parties
at a time when their detenuijjation to
strangle the last breath of liberal senti
ment and the last throb of patriotism
out of tho minds of American citizen
ship is demonstrated by their own dec
larations. Patriot, statesman and ora
tor, ho is tho strongest man who could
possibly have been nominated, and will
go on to victory and the presidency be
cause he is the standard bearer of jus
tice, honesty, principle and liberty,
which have so long been pushed aside
by dishonesty, corruption and oppres
sion.—Omaha Daily Public.
The Conspiracy of Silence.
Notwithstanding the immense number
of accidents to railway employees, maim
ing them for life, and with fatal results
to many, it is noticeable that mention of
these accidents seldom appear in the
daily press. It is only by special inves
tigation that the real facts in regard to
their frequency are gleaned. This doubt
less comes from the desire on the part of
managers of railway corporations to
conceal defects in management to which
most of those accidents are attributable.
In deference to their wishes the great
dailies systematically suppress such
news. So does the associated press.
As evidence of this statement wo have
before ns a circular letter of “instruc
tions” issued by a certain newspaper.
Correspondents are therein given to un
derstand that news of “fatal or other
accidents to conductors, brakemen,
switchmen or persons in obscure posi
tions in life” is not wanted, except in
cases where “great loss of property is
involved." Humanitarians, how does
that sound?—Junction City (Kan.) Trib
une.
Did you ever pay any interest ? If
so, figure up all you have ever paid
and then figure up what you would
have paid bad the rate to you been
one per cent the rate the government
charges rich banking corporations.—

Science and Philosophy; Richly Em
bellished with a Superb Galaxy of
Royal Steel Plate Engravings.—Globe
Bible Publishing Cos., Philadelphia,
Pa.
This magnificent literary produc
tion represents a Superb, Unique
and most Remarkable New Book.
The Author whose mind is strong in
imagination, happy in word painting,
sprinkles the glittering pages of this
unparalled work with the most chaste
and beautiful gems of thought, jewel
ed with all that is Great, Good, Pure
and Noble, in the glowing freshness
of living reality.
When he writes of God and the
Soul, of Heaven and its ineffable bliss,
he touches heights of unsurpassable
magnificence that makes you feel like
Moore’s Peri, as if you stood looking
through the bars of the “Pearly
Gates.” Though he leads to moun
tain heights, lie has also the daintiest
dells of restful and tender experience,
full of Hearts’-ease and Violets where
the simpliest minds and quietest na
tures may rest and drink sweet
draughts from the River of God’s
Love.
Throngh the whole book rings the
happy laughter of Cheerful Christian
ity and Moral Anecdotes, thick as
stars that deck the frosty blue of
winter’s midnight sky, shine out on
every page. These Anecdotes, fresh,
thrilling and delightful, dealing as
they do with every phase of Human
Experience, bring out the Author’s
meaning most beautifully. They are
carefully gathered from every History
and Language and scattered through
the book like Pearls on a Royal Robe.
In fact, the entire book is a wonder
of value and interest, such as was
never seen before.
This magnificent volume, compris
ing over 700 massivo octavo pages, is
printed from large, clear, new type,
suited to every degree of vision, on
extra fine super calendered paper of
admirable finish. It is elaborately
illustrated with the most cr.arming
Steel Plate Engravings, designed and
engraved by Artists of world renown,
at an expense of many thousand dol
lars. It is substantially bound in the
most sumptuous manner.
This very valuable work is sold by
subscription only, and Mr. W. P.
Neal, who is the authorized agent for
this locality, is now canvassing for it.
We cordially commend it to our
readers.
