cast bis ballot for O. B. Stevens a3 the
representative of his principles. I
think Mr. Stevens now goes back
squarely on hi3 address, and is content
and anxious to be regarded as a Dem
ocrat, seeking the Democratic nomina
tion at the hands of Democratic con
stituents. But it is, or should be, too
late. First the Democracy had a
right to complain of Mr. Stevens’ de
sertion of their cause. Now he is un
true to his address accepting the Cuth-
bert.i”iance nomination, and plainly
shows . himself anything for office.
There is nothing in the vote3 cast by
O. B. Stevens in the Georgia Legisla
ture that entitles him to the confi
dence of the Alliance, as such, for I
think any man who will take trouble
to investigate will find Mr. Stevens al
ways against what might be called
purely Alliance views and measures.
How is it then—can’t the Alliance, if
they insist upon the privilege of nam-
ng the next Congressman from the
Second district, at least name a man
who has been, and still is, deservedly
true to their principles, and somewhat
acceptable to the party ?
Many thousands of Democrats—like
myself—would not care a straw if the
candiu tr .a or is not an Allianceman,
but for God's sake give us a man of char
acter for brains and statesmanship.
Who is under all circumstances a true
Democrat to succeed Turner and up-

integrity erected for the Second dis

Did you ever see the old flint and
steel method of striking fire?
If you count your years beyond the
three score period such a thing may
not be a novelty to you, but to the
present generation it would be quite
interesting.
The general use of the match has re
tired the primitive method of using the
Hint and steel, the matches are plenti
ful and very cheap but if you should
notice some young men as they pur
chase a cigar you would think from
the quantity of lucifers they put in
their pocket that the supply of
matches is about to be exhausted and
we will be forced to go back to orig
inal metlfbds.
Nearly all of the present generation
remember in interesting accounts
given them by their fathers of the use
of flint and steel in former days, but
yesterday afternoon a reporter of tbe
News and Advertiser saw the first
and only contrivance of this kind.
It was in the possession of an x>l<T
ante-bellum darkey who is working
with the waterworks laborers on
Washington street. The old darkey is
fond of smoking a pipe and when he
felt sorely in need of the stimulous of
the narcotic he stepped near the side
walk, filled his pipe with the weed and
drawing from liis pocket the flint and
steel arrangement was soon extracting
the comforting smoke.
Several parties standing near noticed
the old darkey’s movenunts and when
they saw the unique manner in which,
he obtained his fire they at once de
termine 1 u,ocn inv-siigai,ion. The
old darkey seem very much surprised;
at their ignorance concerning the flint

leather disc to which is hung the
piece of steel. The flint rock, of
course, is carried loose in the pocket.
In operating it the old darkey held
j the steel ever the cotton contained in
j the horn and with a quick stroke of
the flint across it the cotton was ignit-
; ed. In this way he produces fire
j whenever he needs it.
! He is perfectly independent of
1 matches and does cot seem
I to care whether any more are
, manufactured. A certain gentleman
i standing by who saw the old darkey
I strike tire walked off with the remark,
“I believe all the old time conveniences
will yet come into use.”

malice toward the South as Chicago.
For twenty-seven years, after the
deadly strife of war was over, after
banners were furled, after expiration
of every kind demanded had been
made—for twenty seven years the cit
izens oi Chicago have kept up the ran
cor of the strife of sectionalism and
the maledictions of her citizens against
this section have been too mean to be
human.
An inoffending people and an inof
fensive section have been brutally
n-aligned whenever occasion offered
and when it did not offer, the press
has been the agent of carrying to the
people the sentiments of Chicago citi
zens, sentiments that lor blackhearted
villainy found no records in any an
nals.
Chicago now finds that she needs
the aid and assistance of this section
that has so long been the victim of her
vile abuse.
We do not know tiiat any Southern
representive would oppose an sppro-
priafion on the ground of partisan
ship or prejudice, in fact this view of
the opposition does not present ilselt
and we are sathiiid our Southern
members are too noble, too manly and
too patriotic to to guided by such feel
ings, if such they have. But it seems
that constitutional obstacles line the
pathway of the progress of that appro
priation and SoaSt&n members will
not consent to vote away the peopl
money when they have not the right
to do so. It begins to look like a retri
bution seut on Chicago for her law
and mean vindicativeness toward the
Southern people.
Looking at it from a patriotic stand
point we feel that the appropriation
^should be made because it.is nod for
Chicago alone but for the whole peo
ple, for the purpose of making the
great Columbian exposition a success.
But if the appropriation is voted down
and its defeat accomplished by South
ern men wc cannot but feel that the
Southern people have had their in
nings and that retribution has come
in “the eternal fitness of things.”
THE BARBECUE AND POLITICS.
The barbecue and the political gath
erings over the State this summer have
had a faint suggestion of the' ante hel
ium gathering's when the Whigs and
Democrats met in wordy war.
The come-to-stay-all-day disposition
of thqpeople has manifested their deep
interest in the issues cnvolved and
knowing that a great campaign year is
in progress they seem determined to
keep up thoroughly with the proces
sion.
In Northern, Middle and Southern
Georgia the campaign has been opened
in a lively manner and in the reports
of the large gathering of the clans we
notice that the basket dinner and the
savory barbecue play a very important
part.
The people seem determined that
while the mind may be charged with
a heavy diet for digestion the gastric
functions must not be overlooked and
the inner man is required to keep
along with the digestive process.
But there is one healthy and en
couraging sign connected, with the
junction of politics and gastronomy.
However much we may differ politi
cally, however excitable the stump
however exett
The Third party wants Tom Winn
to beat Pickett for tbe nomination in
the Ninth district, because they fear
thatPIckett can’t compete with Car
ter. Winn, they believe, can snow
the honorable Farish Carter ender al
though this may be a violet.. presump
tion.
IN THE FOURTH.
I have dropped upon the Fourth
district program today, and I think it
can be safely stated that Col. Jack
Turner, the National Alliance secre
tary, will offer against Moses. Tur
ner is a Tronp county man, and he has
a phenomenal gift of oratory and a
world ol figures at his command. It
to understood that he has been select
ed as the man to oppose Moses.
AFTER CBISA’S SCALP.
Christopher, the-Montezuma editor,
has declined the race against Crisp in
the Third, but then he was never seri
ously considered. Tbe man tbe Third
party people want to tilt against Crisp
to Walter McArthur, and if they can
get him they are going to do their best
to beat the Summer statesman. Mc
Arthur.' - as money and Congressional
aspirations, and he will make a lively
rfu in the Speaker’s dis’rict if he con
sents to nave his name usek.
SEARCY IN THE SIXTH. r
Ti e 'mpresslon ts that Col. Searcy,
of G 'Bn, will be the Third party can
didate in the Sixth. The fact that be
recently declined the nomination for
treasury at the hands of the Third
party, seems to emphasis the pre
sumption.
THE GENERAL SCHEME.
The managers cf the new movement
are as dumb as clams, bnt it is easy to
observe that they mean to make a live
ly campaign in the Slate and that all
the districts and all the State officers
will have to be won by hard fighting.
The sinister feature of all this move
ment is the absolute stillness that sur
rounds It. There are no newspapers
In the State to encourage it, but
tbonsands and ten thousand of circu
lars and documents are being distrib
uted from this city and elsewhere,
which give It momentum, and from
what I could learn today Third p rty
candidates in every Georgia Congres
sional district will be nominated, and
if tbe Republican voters agree to stand
by them there is trouble ahead and
lots of it. E. P. S.

Cuthbert, Ga., July 21, 1892.
Editor News and Advertiser:—
Some weeks ago you published a com-
mun cation from my pen, the appear-
atce o’ which in your columns, well
nigu disposed of our “Billy Gunn” for
the campaign, by developing in his
mind that peculiar conditions which
always convinces the sufferer that
every body else Is the victim of the
bottle.
I do not care to carry about with me
the consciousness of be. ig even the
Innocent c-anse of unbalancing any
man’s mental condition, but at the
risk.of again setttng ablaze tbe smoul
dering fire of our “Billy’s” ruin, I
feel that I must say a word or two
about the political status of this
portion of the Second district.
In the good old days of Whigs and
Democrats every man gloried in be
ing one or the other, a Whig or a
Democrat, and accordingly enrolled
himself in the ranks of his choice.to
advocate boldly and openly the cause
of the party he espoused. And in the
good time of which I spent every
man the courage of conviction, or the
manliness to remain open- to convic
tion by fair means in the hands or
mouths of his adversaries.

“Young man, I will love thee for a

The third maiden spoke to the young
