H, Williams, was elected by a hatidsome majority. Col. Williams is well known in loch, and his friends him on the honor. 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. An exchange contains a couple Of interesting articles on matters ih which hiost women are inter¬ ested. In a half column article women are told “How to choose a good husband,” and in a column article advice is given “How to select a good hairbrush.” The hairbrush matter being of most importance, was also illustrated with appropriate cuts, while the husband article was not even illua trated with a “before-taking” pic¬ ture. A novel wedding will occur ili Cleveland, 0., next Wednesday. W. M. Moore and Miss Lizzie Brown are tb be married. They are both blind, lhe officiating minister, the brides-maids and groom s attendants and fifty in vited guests are all blind. An orchestra composed of blind men will play the wedding march, That s as good Iuck as any, for matrimony is always said be a leap in the dark. woht be anybody to see that it doiie properly. 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. G. S. Rountree, 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. Sheriff’s Sales. county.
