The Bulloch Herald. OFFICIAL OKQAH CFTfiF COUNTY, _ ONE DOLLAR PER YEAR. PUBLISHED FRIDAYS. DAVID B. TURNER. Eiutok and PRoruiKTor.. Entered at the pottofflee at Blateaboro. Ga., as second-class mall matter. Statesboro, Ga., February 9, »qoo. It is stated that depression h tugs over England like a pall. “Com Paul,” somebody suggests. A Chicago paper asserts that “Mr. Altgeld has more brains than Mr. Bryan.” But Mr. Bryan has more influence. Prosperity has evidently struck the Maryland legislature—a bill has been introduced to prohibit saloon keepers from giving free lunches. The report that Mrs. Aguinaldo ia dead has beeu corrected. Next thing it will be denied that the Colonel’s mother-in-law has lost her clothing.) The Kansas edit or who is run¬ ning a daily paper on the plan of “What would Jesus do,” has ad¬ vanced the subscription price fifty percent, it is said. There is a slight difference be¬ tween the president and congress. The president spells it “Puerto Rico,”aDd congress says it’s “Porto Rico.” Hope there’ll be no trou¬ ble about it. Democratic workmen are said to get consolation out of the fact that while the republicans have the biggest fortunes on their side, they have the biggest families, and will soon be in the majority. British and Boer officers are both making complaint against fche kind of bullets the others are using. Somebody suggests that each wants the other to fire sponges instead of bullets. The dog law is now the subject of much talk, and three-fourths of Ihe people agree that the policy of “the greatest good to the greatest number,” demands that they go nntaxed in Bulloch county. Elite society in Germany uses iron visiting cards of about one four-hundredths :>f an inch in thickness, the name being printed in siver. That, however, is not in it with the cannon ball messen¬ ger said to be in vogue in South Africa. A statistically inclined lady missionary estimates that there are ten thousand more heathen in New r York city than there arc m Tokio, Japan. And now Chicago and , Brooklyn , are already . .... claiming " that ...... they can beat . . that. , Atlanta ... . hasn’t been heard from yet. Since the war, Spain is said to be enjoying a wave of prosperity second only to that with which our country is blessed. I f it can be established that this a result of the conflict, it will not bo sur¬ prising if warring will hereafter be engaged in between nations purely as a business enterprise. Affairs in Kentucky have as¬ sumed a somewhat more peaceable aspect during the past two or three days, democratic and republican leaders having agreed on terms of a settlement The republican governor, however, continues to retard the progress toward settle¬ ment by his obstinacy. Teddy Roosevelt did not get enough glory in the Cuban war, and he is now trying to mix him self .. up in the Kentucky row. Ho „ declares that if he were in Tay- lorVl ’ lac ' h would hold t —v c 3Y ernorsmp o Kentvekv ii p { : the legislature, the law, tii courts, the world, the flesh and t ? Roosevelt te “shore a terror hear him talk. Up “I»roi>i»o«! Ills fandy." No man lias ever shown himself more unworthy J of the confidence and sympathy . of . the , public , than has Gov. Taylor, cf Kentucky, in the broil which is just now about to be brought to a peaceable tlement. tlenient To lo use n<t« a n comm.m comm m slantr siaug expression lie has Simply “dropped his candv ” 1 liat •j lie BBS probably elected , need not be denied. The election board, composed of a majority politically opposed to him, had . him certificate , of * election, , .• g.veu a in contesting which Mr. Goebel was doing no moj;e than he had a right to do. It was a matter that could properly be carried before the legislature for adjustment, and no action on Taylor’s part to pre¬ vent lilt legislature from investi¬ gating it was excusable, While it cannot be charged that it was at his instigation that the armed body of mountaineers swarmed the capitol city at the time the legislature was engaged in the investigation, they were there without his objection so far as has been made public. That they were there for the pur¬ pose ol intimidating bhe demo¬ cratic legislature from as it might select to do, was open¬ ly announced. Whether the action about to be taken in the installa¬ tion of Goebel as governor, was just, is not the point; it was legal —the legislature had the right to do it; and it was a small thing for the governor of a great state to undertake to hold himself in office by military power, ignoring every legal civil proceeding in his efforts to do so. He made a palpable and infa¬ mous effort to prevent the inves¬ tigation of the crime by which his opponent was assassinated. It is admitted that the fatal shot was fired from the building of which Gov. Taylor was uot only in charge, but in which he had his political headquarters. When the police officers of Ken tuck’s capitol made an effort to enter and search the building from which the mur¬ derous assault came, the military forces under Taylor's command stood in their way and threatened to shoot them if they persisted in an effort to perform their plain duty. He has thus placed himself in the attitude of harboring a creature who liad deliberately planned the assassination of a cit¬ izen and the alleged rightful gov¬ ernor of Kentucky. Then by an unprecedented exer¬ cise of his arbitrary executive will he has adjourned , the , Iegi . . , la- 3 ture for „ week , and , ordered , , it . to u meet in the very hot bed of his most irate, unprincipled and un¬ scrupulous political tools. The best legal opinion of his owu state, even cf his own parti sans, condemns and disgraces him. Many of those who honestly be¬ lieve that he was elected governor of Kentucky have by his own acts been driven to the conclusion that he is utterly unfit to perform the functions of that high office. The legislative power, the high¬ est form and source of the expres¬ sion of the popular will ot Ken¬ tucky, has been assaulted by Tay¬ lor and the law has by him been defied as boldly as he should have upheld it had he been an honest man. We do not presume to prognos¬ ticate what the outcome of this complication in Ken J-ucky itation will in saying be, but that we have Taylor no hes¬ has proved himself utterly unworthy of the office in which he is now held by bayonet power. < . i n "« r* !lv made that 1) Atlanta, had . 1 I 1 v recommended glove ami eooktiil i O'tween prayers as an inducement j , tor , peo „ BA pic to attend church.

As a late specimen , , • " j .j.,),, ’ t l, r , follmvimv ‘ ! ' * ig - from , a serniou delivered . a few ' * , )(Tn 15 . “Every day right here in Atlanta yirtue is deliberately offered upon the altar of dire necessity. More than 40 per cent of the inmates of the houses prostitution here, by the best >ta tisties, are there today from this cause, „ „ a „ 30ei>1 r0 „ diti0 „ lr , coming to. A through passport to hell is better in the hands of many a girl today than stenographers . a diploma. All honor to the girl who passes through unsoiled; but how many J succumb, God only knows.” Now, while such an insinuation doming from a public man of any Other profession would very prop erly be resented ..too stroug, it is highly entertaining when it emanates from the pulpit, 1 1 and will insure a bigger crowd next Sunday, Thoi I hat U it fonJo tends to injure the char acter of numbers of virtuous lady stenographers, makes no differ¬ ence—people at church mast be entertained . , and , induced . , , to come agaiii and bring their friends. That is why the Doctor preaches as , he does, , and , not . that ,, . , he expects , such talk to cause one sinner to pjtuse in his way. 1 But the business men of Atlanta do not appreciate such charges, and the interviews published in . the papers 1 * term them “an ’ outrage ® upon civilization,” “full of con¬ j temptible insinuations,” etc., and the reporter states that “in almost every instance the interviews had to be toned down to parliamen¬ tary language” before they were published, One reason for so much discussion is the fact that the insinuation hurts tin em¬ ployer as well as the stenographer, and this the business men resent. One of those interviewed who take 3 issue with Dr. Broughton, is Dr. Ilolderby, another minister of the city, who says: “Dr. Brough¬ ton’s statement was too broad. I have been here ten years and have watched the girls of Atlanta very closely. T have never seen any¬ thing to lead me to believe that at least a large majority of them are not working hard to make an honest living. The business men that T know, and I know r nearly all of them, are not men who would take advantage of a work¬ ing girl. Such a statement as was made by Dr. Broughtou is apt to damage the reputation of these girls as a class, and is unfair. I am sorrv he made it.” ; To Voters of the Middle Circuit: Under an act of the General Assembly of this state, approved December 21, 1897, and ratified by the people at the polls in October, 1898, the solicitors general of Georgia will hereafter be elected by a direct vote of the people. The term of the present incum¬ bent, B. T. Rawlings, Esq., expires on the first day of January, 1901, and his successor will be elected at the general election to be held in October next. I shall be a can¬ didate for the office of solitor gen¬ eral of the Middle Circuit of this state at this election, subject to whatever rules or regulations that may be adopted by the democratic party governing the nominations for the saftie. If elected it shall be my endeavor to faithfully and impartially discharge the duties of the office according to law. 2-9:4t J. W. Overstreet, Ordinary's Notices ♦ Fop Letters of Dismission.
