COTTON SEED OIL MILLS,
Hon. John H. Traylor.
kllanta Journal.
The Journal will take no part in the
ivory warm campaign now in progress
the Fourth Congressional District
([other than to give our readers the \
news.
We are compelled, however, from aj
love of fair play, and in justice to a !
good man and true son of Georgia, to '
say, with all the emphasis in our pow- 1
er, that the charge published in some
of our leading papers that Colonel
Traylor is being made a tool of by de
signing men, for any purpose whatever,
is totally unfounded. We know it to
be untrue because it would be so differ
ent from all the public acts and doings
of bis useful life. The esteem in which
a man is held by his neighbours at home
is one of the best tests of his character.
No citizen of Troup county is more
highly thought of than Col. Traylor.
He has never sought office. On the
contrary, he has time and time again
declined office. About four years ago
he Wits induced to become a candidate
for the Senate, and was, of course,
elected. Ilis record in that body, con
taining many of Georgia’s distinguish
ed sons, was one that reflected honor
on (himself and credit to the people
who did him the honor of electing him.
The writer of this was intimately asso
ciated with him during his long service
in the Senate- Instead of believing
that any man or any company of men
could make of him a -tool to carry out
any scheme, the writer was impressed
with his strong individuality of eliar-
•acter and resoluteness of purpose in
doing'what he believed to be right or
steadfastly refusing to do what be con
sidered wrong or improper. He was
and is a man of strong will, one who
could say no with a promptness and
decision that would deter any one from
again seeking to use him for any pur
pose other than teat which is square,
fair and right.
The writer remembers that Colonel
Traylor was seated, every day, between
two prominent Senators, who are
known all over Georgia as men of
strong mind as well as persuasive man
ners. These two gentlemen sought by
force of eloquence, personal persuasion
and force of will to carry the Senate
with them in two matters of great im
portance. If ever a man was liable to
yield Ms convictions to the persuasion
of two strong minded as well as pleas
ant mannered brother Senators, Colo
nel Traylor was in that condition.
And yet in both instances he opposed
in debate and by Ins vote, the two
brother Senators whom he highly re-
spected and greatly admired. And in
| both instances, the side represented by
I Colonel Traylor was victor.
I We believe that the forty-three Sen-
I ators, who with him constituted the
®Senate of Georgia, and who were asso-
p ciated with him intimately, would re
-sent the very idea that be could be
ised in any manner whatever, for any
purpose, that Ms judgment and sense
|f right did not indorse and fully ap-
rove.
nd if he should be elected to the
Ingress of the United States he would
bear himself with the same dignity, and
the same wise statesmanship and con
servative conduct would mark his ca
reer there as in the councils of his own
Iu truth he if a noble, high-minded
J|||||k' possessing breadth of views and
i conapi'ehensive ideas of public trusts
and public ^
Congressional race for more than a de
cade of years the maudlin cry of “Harris
in the background” has been raised for
the purpose of weakening some other
candidate. Mark you, this cry comes
always from the enemies of Harris, who
have consistently opposed him from
bis entrance into public life, and I sup
pose will continue to do so.
Mr. Harris is in Washington, content
ed with his position, and yet liis ene
mies (not his friends) in order to weak
en another candidate, drag him into the
race and swear by all that is holy that
lie is a candidate and abuse him as a
bushwhacker and everything else on
that line. Now, as a friend of Col. (
Harris, 1 imagine this is not very pala
table to his many former supporters
throughout the district. Certainly,
when a man seeks rest from such tur
moil it should not be denied him.
But, Mr. Editor, all this is done to
injure another true and good man who
is an avowed candidate for Congres
sional honors, John II. Traylor. Why
should it be charged that such a man
as Col. Traylor should or could be used
as the service tool of any man or set of
men? Has lie not lived among these
people long enough to establish a char
acter for uprightness and Christian in
tegrity? Has he not borne the honors
with which the people of this country
clothed him with becoming dignity and
honor? What is it, then, that makes
his aspirations for Congress so utterly
fatal? The truth is, that the oppo
nents of Col. Traylor see in him a
strong man, ready and equipped for the
highest honor his people can bestow.
They see in him a man in full sympa
thy with the suffering masses of the
people, who fully realizes the burdens
that have fallen upon them so heavily.
A farmer himself, he has himself felt
the woes with which the business in
terests of this Southern country have
struggled for a quarter of a century.
Is it unreasonable that the farmers of
this dist rict should desire one of their
own persuasion and calling in life to oc
casionally represent them in the halls
of Congress? Coming down to common
sense, is it not just and right that once
in a while a purely agricultural district
should send a farmer to represent them?
It will not do to say that they are not
capable, for in their ranks are men the
peers of any in the other professions.
Such a man is John H. Traylor. For
one, as a Troup county man, I am
proud of him as a citizen and legisla
tor, for he is “pure as gold and as true
as steel.” Primary elections settled
one thing beyond a doubt—Troup
county will give her support to Traylor,
and we have faith to believe that he
will carry every county north of Pine
Mountain.
His moral code is completely set aside
in the shere of his money-making.
Principles that he would count most im
portant in a theory of morals are
wholly inoperative in his financial ca
reer. lie slaughters widows and or
phans with Ms fiscal sword, he remorse
lessly sends his rival to pauperism and
suicide, he manufactures false stock
and seizes upon illegal dividends, and
he uses the confidence of the unsus
pecting for their ruin. This system,
rapidly growing upon us, is poisoning
t he whole public body, and making
lying and stealing and fraud subjects
of merriment where they should be
provocatives of indignation and retri
bution. So possessed is the public mind
of this idea of our modern money-
hunters, that even the perfectly inno
cent man of wealth cannot escape the
imputation that liis money was gotten
by ways that are dark. The people have
come to believe that great wealth im
plies great rascality. It is a very false
judgment, and yet the reason for it is in
the evident rascality with which so
many have grasped their gold.
The injury done to the family is also
an injury done to the State, for the fam
ily is the unit of the State. Where the
men of the family are in the wild pur
suit of wealth the basis of family affec
tion and morality cannot exist. That
basis is mutual confidence and ulti
mate confidences. But the gold chase
gives no time for this. The man is a
sort of boarder in Jiis own house. He
flits in and out like a stranger. His
heart is elsewhere. So wife and child
ren are without their proper guide and
stay. They seek for amusement in
questionable quarters. They find other
centres than the home. The husband
(house bond, if that be the proper ori
gin of the word) is not in his .place and
the house is disintegrated. .Disorders
of every sort enter such a family, and
the increase of wealth only intensifies
the symptoms.

Senator’s Brown’s Scheme.
Jacksonville Times-Union.
The proposition of Senator Brown, of
Georgia, to consolidate the internal
revenue districtsof Georgia and Florida
in order to get rid of Collector Cren
shaw will hardly succeed, for even if
Senator Colquitt should not be able to
defeat the proposed amendment be
fore the Senate, it would hardly be able
to run the gauntlet of the House and
the President.
The idea of merging the district of
Florida into the Georgia district is
ridiculous when we take into eonsider-
aton the relative position of the two
States as regards revenue collections.
