C. C. Post Is his name. He Is chair
man of the party In Georgia.
Who is C. C. Post?
Inn speech at Lithia Springs, not
long ago, lion. J. S. James, whom the
Herald knows to be an honorable and
respected oltlseii of Douglass county,
gave an interesting review of Post’s
political oareer. Leaving off all elab
oration, tbe leading points In his
reoord are given, condensed from Mr.
James’s speech, as follows by the Au
gusta Chronicle. It should be read by
.every Demoorat In Gedrgla;
' “Post is a disbeliever in God and the
Christian religion.
"Post was born and reared a Repub
lican, and was an earnest advocate of
Its bitterest teachings against tbe
Bouth.
“Post, on. various oecaslons, de
nounced the people of tbe Bouth, and
tried to arouse Northern and Republi
can passions and prejudices by refer
ring to the Bouth as dominated by ex-
Confederate soldiers.
"Post claimed to leave the Republi
can party and Join the Greenback
party, but he was nothing more than
a tool of the Republicans to defeat the
Democrats, as he made speech after
speech denouncing Tilden and his
Southern followers, and attempted to
divide the New York Knights of La
bor, so that the Republicans might
oarry the State against .Samuel J. TI1-
den.
“Post supported J. B. Weaver for
President in IMHO, and In the cam*
-paign constantly abused the Demo
cratic pnrty and denounced their can
didate, Gen. W. S. Hancock, and the
people of the Soul h as traitors to the
Union.
“Post supported BenJ. F. Butler for
President In 1881. He denounced
Grover’Clevolnm! and the -Democrats,
and praised Ben Butler as the ex
emplar of nil that was noble, honest
and true. •
“Post supported A. J. Streeter iu
1888, who was alsonu advocate of the
force hill.'
“Post will support, In 1892, whoever
the Third Party nominates, being ani
mated In tills campaign, ns In nil
others, by the hope that ho onn erente
Riifllolent Democratic disorganization
to Insure Republican victory.
‘T.ost. hns ndvoented iu nearly nil of
Ills ninny plntfornis, since 1870, the
pensioning of Union soldiers and pay
ing them the difference between de
preciated muney and gold; the gov
ernment ownership of telegraph, tele
phones and rnilronilH; woman suffrage,
etc,, and being on the platform com
mittee in the recent St. Louis conven
tion It- was natural tlmt he should have
Incorporated three things in tho Peo
ple's Party platform.
“Post Is animated to-dny by the
same hatred of the' South that he has
manifested all Ills life, and the state
ment tit St. Leuls tlint tlielr object was
to get in nn entering wedge In Geor
gia and burst up the Solid South,
while It- tuny not have emanated from
him, perfectly Illustrates his feelings
and voices Ins hopes.
“Tills is the man for whom Georgians
are now throwing up tlielr hats. Tins
Is the man who Is the leader of the
Third Party tn Georgia.
“Is it not a pathetic, a pitiable spec
tacle, when Georgians desert Gordon,
Colquitt, Nortlien, Turner, Blount,
Lawson, Black, Atkinson, Reese,
Girard, duBighon, Hammond, and
ninny other such true and tried Dem
ocrats, to follow such n political rene
gade ns C. C. Post?”
COTTON SUED Oil..
On Friday the Senate, was seized
with nil outburst of- pension generos
ity. The passage of a bill was secured j
that -provided for $1 per month in- j
crease to the $8 per nionlli already j
received by the Ml'xleilii war veteran,
provided' lie be dlsablAl from physi
cal labor. It limy lie'iitl right and
commendable In tlie putted States
government. The "additional cost
is trilling, only about $1,000,000 per
ycur.
C. C. Post,tho Third-' Party lender,
has never been 11 Democrat: but his
record shows tlmt he was a 'Republican
and consistent South loiter for twenty
years. ‘ Georgians should think twice
before committing themselves to a
movement or party that is being led by
one who lias never had a kind word or
deed for tlieui until lie oainh 11s ah
eily-tongued • emissary of tlte'i? f > old
enemy, the Republican party. '

It* la now confldcutly asserted; tlmt
the Pope is a Democrat. . This piece of
news should not escape .the attention
of the opponents of Democracy. The
■Philadelphia Record calls attention
to the Pope’s polities : for the purpose
of suggesting that there is no further
terror in the Cobden-Club-Brltlsh-
JS Gold bogr, and now that the redness
has faded out of the bloody shirt, it
’ would see in to be a good time to start
■once more the ery of “No Popery.”
There are still fools tube folded in this
rantry.
In view of t-lp> fact that the most of
tho “olive oil” that we use iu this
country is nothing else than refined
cotton seed oil, It is Interesting to
know tlmt a French .chemist named
Hegroot Ims discovered an improved
process'd'redoing cotton seed oil that
promises excellent results, il has
heretofore been found impossible to
remove from the oil certain gummy or
resinous qualities which restricted its
use for various purposes. This diffi
culty Ims liceII economically overcome.
At a cost less than the expense of re
doing by the present methods, M..ne
groid turns ojit an oil of remarkable
purity equal In its lubricant quality
to lard oil. The product is so free
from odor tlmt the objection hereto
fore made to its use for' cooking pur
poses is said to Have been completely
removed. The value of this .discovery
receives continuation from the an
nouncement in l.!u- 'New Orleans
Tlnies-Democrnt of late date that a
company has been chartered to rettne
the oil by tile new process, ami will
begin active operations on tile 1st of
May.
There would hardly he a limit to the
use of cotton seed oil asn lubricant and
for household purposes if it could be
sold cheaper than lard oil, olive oil,
peanut oil or other oils now used for
such purposes. Tile superior purity
and cleanliness of a vegetable product
would recommend it for culinary pur
poses in all parts of the world. The
discovery is also most welcome as
promising to give an added value to
the rotten crop, which is now so sadly
depressed in consequence of low prioes.

A Washington press dispatch (lafed
yesterday says that the Post of to-day
will print s circular calling a council
ot the presidents and members of the
executive committees of the State Far
mers Alliances at Birmingham, Ala.,
on Tuesday, the 8rd of May.
The oiroular says that this is the
most orittesl period in the history of
the osder. Never bss there been suob
a universal and loud orjrfrom the or
der to the officers for directions how
to conduot the local fights. Neyer has
there been so -little concert of action
among the officers of the different
States and sections. This, .If allowed
to oontinuc, the circular <says, must be
fatal. Concert of autlon Is impera
tive, and success eannot be SQbleved
without It. The political contest
threatens destruction to the order.
The oiroular explai ns that the expenses
attending national councils Of this
character is too great to be borne with
convenience, hence the preaent method
of a meeting of the offloera is pro
posed.
Great stress Is laid upon the Impor
tance of meeting, and the necessity for
full and free councils by all executive
officers Is said to be greater than at
any time in the history of the move
ment. The meeting will be strictly
secret, with none but properly accredi
ted persons admitted. The officers
named of the following State Allian
ces have been Invited to attend : Vir
ginia, West Virginia, Maryland, North
Carolina, Bouth Carolina, Florida,
Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, Louis
iana, Texas, Arkansas, Missouri, Ken
tucky, and Tennessee. Also the offi
cers of the Alliance in the territory of
Oklahoma.
STICK TO THE HII.D.
This Is the good sound advice given
by the Home Tribune. It does seem
tlmt any limit with a grain of percep
tion could see to-day, If lie hns the
slightest Idea of nntionnl politics, thnt
but two parties will cut any figure in
the Presidential or any other election
—the Democratic and Republican.
-Every blow against the Democratic
party Is one I11 favor of Republican tri
umph, and the loss of votes by the
noble pnrty thnt hns stood between
the Bouth and venal Republican ha
tred, Will be equivalent to their gnln
by our enemies, whether they afe cast
for tho People's pnrty or Republican
ticket.
How can n sensible Southerner leave
the folds of a party that has stood our
friend for so many years, through
thick and thin, through the throes of
reconstruction down to the present era
of hope, where we have had the deso
lation of despair; how can a Southern
er, we repeat, desert the ranks of the
friend of our greatest extremity', Just
at a time when the rainbow of h«pe
has taken the place of the frowns of
our arch enemies—rapid, partisan ra
dicals I
This is no time for division, nor Is It
time for any Democrat to go after un
tried lenders, who propose to seek un
tried ends.

Many of the Republican papers, of
the country, tlmt don’t) like the idea
of another term of llarrisonism, per
sist iu alluding, to the possibility of
Mr,'Blaine's becomingn candidate, de
spite his repented protestations. A
Harrisburg special to tile New York-
World ought to set all tlie rumors
about, the probable candidacy of the
Secretary of Slate at rest. According
to this dispatch, Chris Magee was in
Washington this week amf called upon
Mr. Blaine. Magee is quoted ns say
ing that the question of Secretary
Blaine’s candidacy for the presidency
was brought up and Mr. Blaine de
clared that if the nomination was
brought to lTim oil a silver salver he
would not accept it. Mr. Blaine is
said to have added: “I feel so seriously
upon the question that even in the
impassible event of my being nomi
nated and elected against my wish I
would not take the oatli of office.”
at first it was pretty well hidden by
" be held of his own
the'high opinion
capacity.
A farmer's son, with no influential
friends to assist him in obtaining a
situation, he found himself alone in
Boston. He presented himself at
business offices, wrote letters in an
swer to advertisement, nought inter
views with men prominent in com
mercial and banking circles, bnt was
everywhere met-with refusal. At
last he began to grow despondent
and to wonder what a college educa
tion was good for. anyhow.
He now sought the advice of an
old maid sister, his senior by many
years, whose experiences in the
world had made her thoroughly prac
tical. She questioned him closely as
to how he inode application for a
position, how he approached on em
ployer, what he said of himself, etc.
When the young man had answered,
shosaid:
"It’s just as I supposed, John. You
didn’t ask for a place as an employee
at all. Your method is more like de
manding that the employer turn over
his entire business to you. You’ll
have to go about the thing different
ly. Don’t attach so much impor
tance to your college acquirements.
Collegians nowadays are as thick as
huckleberries down east, and some
of them are working for a mere song,
“Don’t say to a man from whom
you expect a situation, ‘My dear sir,
if there Ib an existing vacancy in
your establishment I shall be glad to
HR it. being assured that my qualifi
cations will enable me to assume any
position you may have to offer.’ Just
believe that there ore a few things
left which you don’t know, andmako
your application accordingly.”
John was sensible, and sow the
force of bis sister’s remarks. His
next roquest for a situation was
couched in more modest terms than
the others, and his college training
was not mentioned until the vory
last part of tho interview, when it
was drawn out by tho employer’s
own questions.
Ho got that situation aftor a few
days without further trouble. That
was several years ago, and today he
holds a much better position in the
same establishment.
Only the other day John repeated
hia sister’s advice to a recent gradu
ate from his alma mater, at the same
timo relating his own experience.—

BeueStjt ot Reading Circle*.
Beading circles seem to be ail the
rage now among young people of
every class. Their multiplication,
Unlike many other successful institu
tions, is not duo altogether to the
fact that the idea is a fashionable
one, for fashion and study hardly go
Band in hand They are horses of
different breed, - different color and
different proportions, and it is sel
dom that they can, from a compara

which is daily Impressing itself more
and more upon the youth of our
times is the cause responsible for
their existence. Tbe benefit that the
studious one derives from them 1b
obviously great. A man reads a
book and carries out of it a certain
number of ideas. His knowledge of
that hook is not tut great os if he re
ceived the ideas of thirty readers of
it, each of whom views it differently
to some degree.
This is the argument the young
people make in favor of this pros
perous institution, and a little reflec
tion will show that it is not a bad one.
I dropped in during the exercises of
one of these circles during the week.
Young men and women, the maxi
mum age of whom was twenty-three,
were laboring industriously over the
French rebellion,\nd the way that
they arranged the facts, throwing in
detail while keeping clear and upper
most the main ideas, was something
marvelous. They had been colabor
ing for just one year and had in that
time reviewed and studied American
history and a dozen works of differ
ent standard authors. —Brooklyn

Hardy Meat Eater*.
Many races of men live entirely on
animal foqd, and these are the most
hardy, and from all I have been able
to gather on the subject tbe most
freo from diseases of all kinds. Sir
Francis Head says of the Pampas In
dians: “They ore all horsemen, or
rather pasB their lives on horseback
Tn spite of the climate, which is burn
ing hot in summer and freezing in
winter, these brave men, who have
never yet been subdued, ore entirely
naked, and have not even a covering
for their head. They live together
in tribes, each of which is governed
by a cacique, but they have no fixed
place of residence. Where the pas
turn is good they are to be fqund un
til it is consumed by their liafses, and
they then instantly move to a more
verdant spot. They have neither
bread, fruit nor vegetables, but they
subsist entirely on the flesh of their
mares,”—Gentleman's Magazine.
Wan Wellington Surprised?
Tho generally received notion that
the Duke of Wellington was surprised
receives full confirmation in many
pages of "Waterloo Letters." and per
haps most markedly in n letter from
Sir William Napier, the historian.
Napier gives the following account
from the duke’s own mouth:
He found tho Prince of Orango at
the Duchess of Richmond's boll on
the evening of the 16th. Ho was
surprised to see him because he had
placed him at Binche, an important
outpost, for tho purpose of observing
and giving notice of the movements
of the enemy. He went up to him
and asked if there was any news.
“No, nothing but that the French
have crossed tho Sombre and had a
brush with the Prussians. Have you
heard of it?” This was news. So he
told him quietly that he had better
go back to his post, and then by - de
grees he got tho principal officers
away from the ball and sent them to
their troops. This was done, I think
ho said, about 11 o’clock. ' He then
went to his quarters and found Muf
fling there, coming from Blucher
with the news; he ought to have ar
rived long before, but said the duke
to me. “I cannot tell the world that
Blucher picked the fattest man in
his army to ride with nn express to
me, uud tlmt ho took thirty hours to
go thirty miles. ’’—London Academy.

ITIIE NEW ORLEANS AFFAIR.
Of the final settlement of the difll-
culty with Italy, a London paper, the
Standard, says: “The difficulty has
ended in a way that is creditable to
both, but it illustrates, in a striking
manner the very slight confidence the
citizens of Louisiana repose in the ex
ecution of the lows they made.”
The London Graphic alludes to the
settlement thus: “There lias been no
diplomatic triumph for Italy, or humil
iation for America. The latter proved
herself strong enough to refuse re- *
