Walton Counts’* Noble Son
Point* Out tin? Path of
Safety.
One hundred and fifty voter*
heard a very line talk from Gov.
McDaniel Inst Wednesday.
The Governor contrasted the
two great political parties of the
present—the one seeking to ag
grandize the powers which lie
lent' only to the people; the] oth
er striving always to bring the
government nearest home to the
people, and to give to every indi
vidual the largest amount of po
litical liberty.
The Uarniltou theory of a cen
tralized government, and the
Jefferson theory of States’ rights
and the right of the people toad
minister government at home,
were strikingly contrasted, and
traced through the action of the
republican and democratic par
ties. The republican policy of
taking money from the people in
order to perpetuate a powerful cen
tral government was most effect
ually outlined. Tho five hundred
millionsof dollars annually drawn
from our sixty-two millions of
people, under republican admin
istration, means *8 per capita for
every man woman and child in
the United Srates.
This introduced tho subject of
Tariff. Our people pay tho eight
dollars, when they buy their hats,
sugar and salt. The terrible bur
dens fall as heavily upon the la-,
boring man who receives but GO
cents per day for his manual la
bor, Ks it docs upon the rich.
Nine years ago, iu a message to
our State Legislature, Governor
McDaniel had called attention to
the fact that the U. 8., tax was
six times as much as our btato
and county taxes. This was
drained from tho sweat of the
poor by tho protective "tariff,
which tho Democratic party has
always sought, to reform.
The millionaires who have in
creased so rapidly under a sys
tem of government which the
Democratic party lias always op
posed, are enabled to accumulate
their vast fortunes because the
poor of the land, by heavy taxa
tion are unable to save anything
to themselves.
The pension policy of the re
publican government was scath
ingly attacked. The distinguish
ed statesman expressed in kindly
but emphatic terms his surprise
that any Southern man could en
dorse a party which would sot
forth a resolution to increase the
pensions of the men who sliot
down our coiiirade&r-
Tho enduring principles of
Democracy were forcibly pre
sented.
The Subject of the currency
formed the basis of a very clear
presentation of the safe position
of tho Democratic party upon
this great question. Tho coinage
of gold and silver on a parity
with each other, would nearly
double the amount of a safe and
sound currency, making every
kiud of money used by our gov
ernment honest, full-value dollars
and admitting of as rapid increase
in the volume thereof as tho needs
of the business of the country de
manded.
The federal control of our elec
tions, which tho republican party
proposed ns the most prominent
declaration of its platforur.wos il
lustrated by recalling the tirno
when our old citizens walked be
tween bayonets to the ballot-box
to exercise the right of suffrage
at the polls, which by right ought
to be as free as the air of the lieav
eus.
The peroration was a grand and
eloqueut oue—the voice of tho
prophet proclaiming tho inevita
: ble results of a breach in the white
: people of the South, and the plea
of a tried statesman that our peo
ple should put aside dissension as
: the greatest evil which threaten*
! ed us.
No sounder political discussion
lias fallen from the lips of a Geor
J giau during the present cam
i paign to maintain the unity of
lour people.--Walton News.

Homestead, Pa., .July 24.—Pri
vate lamb of Co. K, Tenth Regi
ment, to-day, when the dcwr of
the attempted assassination of
Mr. Frick reached tho provision
al brigade, shouted for three
cheers for the assassin. Colonel]
Streeter heard the incendiary
shout. He hurried intothe camp
and ordered the regiment to be
paraded in double-quick time.
When his command was ilrawu
up he recited to the soldiers the
remark lie had heard. “I heard '
the yoice distinctly," the Colonel j
said. “I think I recognized it
and I want the man who made
the statement to.adrvnce two
paces. The Colonel had recQg- j
nized Jams’ voice, and he was:
standing directly in front of the
accused when ho was talking.
Immediately Private lams step
ped to the front. Ho was tremb
ling like an aspen and he seemed
unable to hold his gun.
“You offered three cheers for
the killing of Mr. Frick, did you
not?” the Colonel asked.
lams did not answer. He hung
his head and nodded in the af
firmative. He was ordered to
the guardhouse. The Colonel
and his staff, including the Sur
geons, then went to the guard
house. The officer of the day
took charge of the criminal and
at tho Colonel’s orders lie was
hung up by the thumbs for thirty
minutes. The surgeons remain
ed with the unfortunate man dur
ing liis punishment; one of them
kept watch on his pulse while
another looked after his heart,
and at the end of thirty minutes
Surgeon Neff ordered him taken
down. When released young
lams was limp and apparently
unconscious. The surgeons re
mained with him for an hour,
when he was takeu to his quar
ters.
To-day oue side of his head
was shaven and the buttons cut
from hits uniform, of which lie
was then stripped. He was given
a suit of cast-off plain clothing,
part being a pair of overalls, and
was at once drummed out of
camp. The proceedings were
approved by Cieueral Snowden.
Young lams lives at Wauesburg.
Trampled to Death.
Wellston, 0., July 22.—Miss
Lambert was killed near Keystone
while out driving with a party of
pickuickers. The horse in the
Lambert carriage boeurne fright
ened, upset the vehicle with its
occupants under it. Before the
second team could be halted it
lmd plunged into tho wreck, the
hoof of one' of tho horses striking
Miss Lambert in the head, com
pletely crushing out the right
eye aud tearing away the right
front portion of the skull, death
resulting instantly. Others of
the party were severely injured,
but none fatally, Miss Lambert
was a daughter of a prosperous
farmer of that neighborhood.

Americus Times-Rocorder: F.
M. Pilcher and A. L. Beckwith
are two farmers who are both well
kuowu iu Americus. Tuesday
they were together in a buggy
coming here, aud when they were
about Joe Roney’s place, a cbick
enhawk lit on the side of the road.
“Look at that hawk,’’ said Mr.
Beckwith. “Yes, I see him.” said
Mr. Pilcher. They drove on aud
the hawk didn’t move. They drew
nearer and nearer, aud dually
were almost up to the bird. Mr.
Beckwith took up his whip, aud
, as they reached the hawk make a
j crack at it. The blow struck just
right, and the hawk was struck
full ou the neck. The ciack was
'so well made that tho full force
was executed and the head was
j out clean off. The gentlemen
j brought the hawk and its head to
■ town with them.
More About Frogs.
As there has been some inquiry
I as to where these frogs came from,
| their kind, etc., we will try to give j
; a few sketches of their history.
They were brought to this
country from the Mississippi
swamp in A. 1). 1880 aud put iu
the Ohickamauga river near this j
pluce. They are said to be of;
! enormous size when grown. These
j being very small when brought [
are just now beginning to showj
what they can do. They are doing
some mischief now. Tho one that
has been catching chickens is
thought to have been driven to
j the mountains for refuge during,
! the high waters and was on his j
j way back to the river and being,
j very hungry caught a chicken to
|do it until it reached the river
j where it could get fish, as they
: live principally upon fish.
The mystery of where the
Clements Bro’s fish went has been
solved. The frogs got them, as
they were put iu near the trap.
When driven away by high tide
and starved for a few days they
will attack a person ou the public
highway, or eyeu drag women aud
children from their homes.
They are said to be good food
for man but have neyer been tried
yet. as they are very hard to cap
ture. The one that passed through
would liaye been captured but
the man had to go to the house
for his gun and the frog made one
leap anil was out of reach of a
fair shot after devouring quite a
number of chickens. As it made
its escape to the river it had to
Uncle Jimmie’s, where lie
had hitched Old Pat to the gate
post preparing to iro to the post
office. The animal being badly
frightened broke loose leaving
Uncle Jimmie afoot.
M. M. Burrows, Mr. Manley and
his sou, William, were out in the
bottoms a few day later and dis
covered something lying near the
river bank which they thought to
be a large bran sack filled with
something—thought it had prob
ably floated from the mill above,
aud on going up for inspection
found it to be one of those frogs.
They seeing tho danger they were
in immediately made an attempt
to get away. Mr. Manley being
an old man directed his course to
au old empty cotton house which
was near for refuge. Just as ho
was entering the house
tho frog seized his coat coat tail,
leaving him almost breathless and
nothing but the shoulders and
sleeves of his coat. A few min
utes later Monroe came near the
house where Mr. Manley had ta
ken refuge and seeing the frog
tussling with the fragments of
the coat, and said to himself,
“Has the frog torn Mr. Manley to
pieces and now iu its mad career
is tearing to pieces his clothes?”
The next thought that entered his
mind was where was M ill; had he
been murdered by the mad mon
; ster. Mr. Mauley has been suf
fering from the shock since, but
tho doctor thinks ho is improving
slowly. Jack Slashed.
It is a little singular that Prof.
Dwight, so loug the distinguished
head of the Columbia I.aw School,
and one of the profoundest legal
intellects we have ever had iu this
(New York) city, should at the
moment of his death have done
something which raises a very
important legal question. In his
last illness Prof. Dwight had in
structed his lawyers to draw up a
new will, ami this was brought to
him, read over, the attesting wit
nesses were present, and it only
remaiued for him to sign it to
make it a perfect instrument. A
pen was put into his hand and he
wrote so much of his name as
this; “Theodore 'V. Dwi,” when
he foil back upon his pillow dead.
The question to determine is
whether so much of the signa
(turo as this makes a legal will.
Mr. Randall Pope, the retired
druggist of Madison, Fla., says
| (Dee. 3. ISS9) he regards P. F. P.
(Prickly Ash, Poke Root and
Potassium l as the best alterative

seyii more beueticial results from
tho use of it than any other blood

Os Mr. W. J. Pfttijohn, horn |
April 4th, 1847 and departed this
life April 20th, 1892.
He professed hope iu Christ at
an early age and joined the Bap
tist church, of which he lived a
true and faithful Christian until
his death. He leaves a wife aud
several children to mourn their
loss.
We will say to the bereaved
ones, weep not, for lie has gone
before to welcome you all home
to that beautiful land where there
will be no more parting.
When the angel of death came
it found him harnessed and ready
to go at the command of the cap
tain. Though old in years aud
old in Christ his place was al
ways filled in the Lord’s house.
He was indeed a willing worker;
always ready for service. He
was ever ready and willing to
honestly and faithfully work all
six days of the week and ever
ready to remember to keep sac
red aud holy the seventh. And
now at the close of a loug aud
u eful life of patient trial, aud
weary waiting, haying endured
the sorrow and borne the trials
of many years, his work is done,
his last sun lias set aud lie is
called from labor to refreshment
to rest beneath the shade of the
tree of life. But we are hasten
ing on and expect to meet you
bye and bye. Oh, how the pale
population swells. Earth grows
poorer, but heaven is made rich
er.
We again say to the bereaved
companion aud loving children
weep not for he is free from sor
row and paiu. We shall go to
join him in that celestial home
where we will never part.
Farewell dear uncle. Gou bo
with you till we meet again.

Mother.
There is none like mother.
When mother is gone you will
never have another such a friend.
My mother died when I was a
very small child. Ido not know
anything much about a mother
and I can heartily sympathize
with a motherless child. A fath
er loves his children very dearly,
but I believe a mother loves them
best. When a man’s wife dies he
can get another,but wlieu a child’s
mother dies it can’t get another.
When we lose mother, we have
lost the best friend we ever liad,
aud while a mother lives do all
you can for her. Love her, obey
her, lighten every burden you
can for her for she will not live
always. And when slie is gone
as I said before you will never
have such another friend as she
is. I once had as good a mother
as ever lived, but God in his infi
nite wisdom saw proper to take
her from me when I was very
young and my father was already
dead aud we were poor folks, and
that left me motherless,fatherless,
homeless and friendless, as I
thought, but since I have found
that I had some friends. I was
alone in the world, no one to love
me with a mother’s tender love.
No one to care for me when sick
ness came. No home to go to.
May the God of heaven watch
over and take care of the little
ones that lose their dear mother.

The People’s party must be at
tacked with argument, not abuse.
Abuse does not make converts.
It accomplishes no good purposes.
No doubt the great majority of
tho members of the People’s par
ty are sincere in their belief iu the
demands of that party. They
must be shown they are mistaken
and that by supporting that party
they are injuring their own inter
ests. When they are convinced
they are wrong the most of them
will return to the Democratic
party.—Sav. News
