* In thO election for representa¬

Does He Reckon Aright!
Gen. Aguinaldo, the Philippine
thief, in his proclamation an
liouncing the liberation of Ameri
fcam prisoners and authorizing
Philippine soldiers in the northern
provinces to return t:> their homes,
Gays:
“In America there is a great
party that insists oh the govern¬
ment recognizing Filipino inde*
pendence. That party will com¬
pel the United States to fulfill the
promises made to us in all solem¬
nity and good faith, though not
put in writing. Therefore we
must show our gratitude and
maintain our position more reso¬
lutely than ever.
“We should pray to God that
the great democratic party may
Win the .next presidential election*
and imperialism fail in its mad at¬
tempt to subjugate us by force of
arms.
“There aro Some Americans in
the Philippines who have joined
us, because they disapprove a war
cf what Mr. Atkinson calls ‘crim¬
inal aggression.’ When offered a
chance to return to their own
camp, they declined.”
Throughout his proclamation
Aguinaldo denounces “the impe¬
rialists” instead of “the Ameri¬
cans,” as heretofore, and calls the
world to witness that the Philip¬
pines have not broken their “al¬
liance raadu with the Americans
through Dewey and the United
States consul at Hongkong and
Singapore.” He says, “we do not
want war ‘against the United
States. We only defend our inde¬
pendence against the imperialists.
^The sons of that mighty nation
are friends and brothers,”
Aguinaldo is correct in the as
tumption that the mass of the
democratic party are opposed to
the permanent retention of the
1 >hili pp ine8 >»« indt * d the major.
ity of the republican party are;
but what right has he to count on
any stiddGn change of policy
should the democrats elect their
President? How could our coun¬
try honorably terminate the war.
since it has gone so far, without
first forcing the Philippines to
acknowledge our rights to the ter¬
ritory we hare paid sd dearly for?
If Aguinaldo counts on a demo¬
cratic administration turning
loose the fight right in the middle
Of it, we think he reckons amiss.

Filianuel Farmers’ Cbvcislidn.
Tim farmers of Emanuel county
held a mass meeting at Swains*
boro on the 28th tilt,, for the pur¬
pose of discussing means by whiih
they may secure better prices for
their cotton. The following pre¬
amble and resolutions were
adopted:
Whereas, the returns received for
our suplus products roust be depended
upon to purchase the supplies of life;
and if the (prices We receive are too
IdW and the cost of supplies too high,
then it becomes difficult and almost
impossible to live. It is because the
prices of farm products are too low and
tbe cost of manufactured articles and
Of living too grunt; that the agricul¬
tural and industrial classes are vainly
striving to make their expenses equal
their income, and many of them live
in poverty, and upon the occurrence
of misfortune suffer from want. The
farmer finds that, struggle as he will
and stint as he may, the meagre re¬
turns received for his surplus pro¬
ducts, exorbitant prices paid for the
necessaries of life are so unequal as to
be beyond his ability to live. And,
Whereas, the prices of all manufac¬
tured cotton goods bring on a basis of
from ten to twelve cent cotton, and
all other manufactured articles at
about the some ratio; and cotton being
our main and alihost sole moneyed
crop: be it therefore
Resolved, 1st. That we hold cotton
until prices rise commensurate to the
prices of other things we have to buy,
say to at least eight cerits.
of 2nd, That we ask the co-operation
all merchants and bankers in carry¬
ing out these resolutions.
3rd. That we bequest and ask the
farmers, not alone in all these coun¬
ties in Georgia, but throughout the
entire cotton belt, to meet in their
respective October counties on the 15th day of
and co-operate with us ill
carrying ditions out the provisions and con*
of these resolutions.
4th. That all the newspapers, botli
daily and weekly, throughout the cot¬
ton belt are hereby requested to copy
these preamble and resolutions.

W. R. Krmp, Chairman.
Secretary.
The Emanuel farmetBare on the
right track—organization is the
only intelligent way to meet the
trusts which oppress them on every
side. The monied men of the
East stand organized among them¬
selves to squeeze a dollar out of
every man they touch, but the
cotton-growers of the south have
got the situation by the tail if
they will only use their advantage,
Let them organize and demand
! fair prices—and they’ll get them.
CHASED BY A MAD COW. .
Citizens of East Statesboro
Have a Thrilling Experience.
An interesting story comes float¬
ing from over in East Statesboro
in whish Messrs. R. F. Lester,
E. B. Simmons and W, G. R.
Scarboro on the one side and a
crazy cow on the other side were
the principal actors:
The incident occurred at Mr-.
Simmons’ cow lot last Sunday
morning, at which time all four
of the above named parties were
more or less “under the weather 5 5
—that is, all were except Bob
Lestbr, anti he was under the barn.
To begiii at the beginning and
report the facts as they actually
occurred, Mr. Simmons owned a
valuable cow which for days had
t J( 3 Gn suffering with som£ derange*
m ent of the internal organs from
which she had become crazed.
jj er an tics were unaccountable;
and her mvner was nt a i 0S9 to
khow know how to to treat tleat her lier ‘ She lvid naa
convulsions like a sick politician,
and saw monkeys like a drunkard;
at times she was peaceable and
quiet, and at other times she was
a raving mailiati (beihg in the lat¬
ter state more than tbe form or).
On the morning mentioned, Bob
I^ter drove over to see his friend
Simmons, tVho had been laid lip a
coll p| e of days with neuralgia,
After a short while they and
“Buddie” Scarboro, followed by
the boys, went out to see the sick
cow< They found her sprawled
on the ground, her eyes rolled
back like a negro preacher “lieens
ed ^. 0 extort.” For several min
utes thev examined the cow, and
thought they had thoroughly
diagnosed her case when she began
to get up; Not only did she get
up but she emitted a bellow and
her eyefe shot out daggers of fire.
She stood only for one brief in
stant* and then she began to go
straight ahead at a rate of
miles an hour, not stopping at
wood racks nor water tanks. It
so happened that Messrs. Sim¬
mons, Scarboro and Lester were
ail three standing directly in the
line which the cow chose to take.
Forgetting bis earthly ills, Sim¬
mons, crippled as he was, jumped
the fence into the garden 5 Lester
made a lunge and landed under
the barn; his head coming in con¬
tact with the sleeper as he went
under, making a ridge as large as
an egg above bis ear and an inden¬
tation correspondingly large in
the sleeper. But where was Scar¬
boro? Man that he was, he re¬
fused either to go under the barn
or over the fence, but chose rath¬
er, in spite of his crippled condi¬
tion, to show the Cow a fair foot
race around the barn and down
the lane. For one brief moment
all was breathless suspense, but
the race was a short one, and in
t\Vo seconds elapsed time Scarboro
and the cow passed the judges’
stand 50 yards away, Scarboro
neck ahead.
Mr. Simmons was not ih posi¬
tion to see the humorous side of
the affair at the time, though now
he thinks it was real funny.
“Buddie” Scarboro, too, was af¬
flicted with a “crick” in his left
hind leg, and regarded it as a
hardship to be forced to locomote
at such a rapid gait; and Bob
Lester, though he was under the
barn most of the time, was hurt
so bad in getting there that he
hasn’t cracked a well matured
smile since. The boys, however,
who were standing just outside the
lot, saw the thing from start to
finish, enjoyed it immensely, and
it is to one of them that we are
indebted for the above details.
Lester admits that most of it is
true, but the other fellows haven’t
been heard from.
P. S,—The cow died the same
day from the over-exertion.
