Bulloch Times, Dear Sir :—Tiie democratic citizens of this town and vicinity in mass meeting assembled last night decided to have a grand democratic rally, with barbecue and basket dinner, speakers furnished by central committee, „ the state on day, Sept 29th. Everybody is invited . regardless of political creed or color. Yours very truly, G. R. Heard, Sec. Rocky Ford, Ga., Sept. 11, '01 True In Bulloch County. A dispatch from Atlanta dated Sept,. 17th, says: “Information lias come to campaign headq uarfers showing that the populists are concentrating their work on the negro voters. They are doing their work in a way that is peculiarly effective, and Chairman Clay affiliation wants to put, the people on notice of the with the negro voters of the populist dem¬ agogues who are after their votes. •‘According to the information received the populists have organized in each “stirring mil itiadistrict what they call a committee.” These committees are com¬ posed of live workers, who spend their nights in going about among the colored people, making a house tohouseenuvass. They put, themselves on the most inti¬ mate relations with the colored voters, staying with them for hours at a time and frequently making several calls upon the Same parties so as to establish the desired friendly relations. Then all sorts of promises of recognition oft lie negro by giving Bppulist them office are being made by .the healers.

Bulloch Times: There was a big populist “to-do” out this Way last Saturday—a tremendous big affair ! In the morning it leaked out Col. It. Lee Moote and Mr. Tillman would speak to the “colored brothers” a little house in the back-woods. A white democrats went and found them there with about twenty-five or negroes, including women and and part of them democrats, together with five white leaders. At the appointed hour Col. Moore rose and spoke telling t!*.e colored men about how hard the times were, and ex¬ plaining that the democrats were respon¬ sible for it all. He also declared to them that the democrats had done them no good, aud had been false to every trust; thev had made them great promises and bad not fulfilled them. Mr. Tillman fol lowed him on the same line of abuse of the democrats. We suppose this was a rousing meeting. Democrat. Bloys, Ga., Sept. 17th, ’94. AGREEMENT. It is hereby agreed that at the election to be held on Oct. 3rd, next,thattbe free¬ holders of said election be divided among the democrats and populists as follows: The Sink Hole, Laston, Hagin and Club House districts are to haveonedem-, ocratie and two populist, freeholders; and one democratic and two populist clerks. The Court House, Briar Patch, I5ny and Lockhart have one populist and two democratic freeholders, and one populist and two democratic clerks. The managers of each party shall be allowed to see and help count all ballots east. Each party lias the right to challenge any vote they see fit. This agreement is made to give satis¬ faction to both parties, so it will be con¬ ducted fairly and impartially. P. P. Lx. Com. I). N. Nichols, Ch’in’n. Com. .). A. Bkannen, Ch’m'n. Dem. Ex.

Whereas, the Star, a newspaper pub¬ lished in the town of Statesboro, is de¬ nounced as being a dirty, filthy, lying sheet, and run by a man as void of prin¬ ciple us his paper is of truth, we extend our sympathy to our democratic friends who have been reading this filthy sheet. We know many in the ranks of the demo¬ crats who will not read it at all, and wo wish that we had more of this stamp of democrats among us. We till want re¬ form in our government; we all wish to accomplish the same end, and as long as we tolerate the publication of such a sheet among us, we must expect the prej¬ udice of parties to run high. We wish this article to be published in the Statesboro Banner and the Times, and ask the endorsement of every peo¬ ple’s party club in the county. Signed: 48yoters 48th G. M. District Bulloch county.

T. Thompson. Formerly with Stubbs, Tison & Co. From Nellwood. Nothing of interest to communicate this week. TIio universal depression of trade and low prices has reached here as well as any place else, While labor is plentiful, and cost of living very low, some very close figuring has to be done so as to keep trade moving; and any one who has meat in the house and some meal in the barrel ought to be thankful they do not live in a city where hundreds of families would be thankful of having the same. Truly the old adage is cor¬ rect: One half the world does not know how the otiier half lives. I)o not think from what I have said that I wish to be placed on the list of chr onic growlers.— have too sunny a build for that; and will say that I hear of arrangements being made for winter work, territory staked off, hands promised work, and from arti¬ cles in leading papers I read the outlook is a little more promising now than three months ago. A guest of ours this week was Mr. Mil ton McArthur, a stiller of good repute from Daisy, Tattnall county. The pur¬ port of his visit was very plain,—even a blind nmn could comprehend his object. Close to this [dace there resides a youug lady who looks well and can preside over any man’s household, aud from what was seen any one could draw the conclusion that Mr. McArthur’s visit meant business, [fc is astonishing to thiuk that young gentlemen from a distance can come here and pluck the roses from uuder our young men's noses!

A Week Among Our National Law makern—Matters of Interest. A cheerful feeling prevails at democrat¬ ic headquarters, as may be judged by the talk of Secretary Lawrence Gardner, who said: “The result in Maine is hardly what we expected, considering the char¬ acter of the tight made by the republi¬ cans, the amount of money spent, and the speakers of national reputation thrown into the State. When compared with the little done by the democrats, it strikes me that the vote is ridiculously small. The democrats in Maine had nothing to lose, whereas the republicans had everything to gain, not only in keep¬ ing up their majorities, but in increasing them for t he effect elsewhere. But back of it, all is the personal State pride of a presidential boom. Personally, I teei de¬ lighted with the resul t, as I firmly belie.ve that it will have the same effect on the democrats that the democratic vote in that State in 1880 had on 'the republi¬ cans. The democrats of the United States have determined to elect a major¬ ity of the members of the next House. They have not been rainbow-chasing with the hope of securing auy votes from eith¬ er Maine or Vermont, and are not to be panic-stricken by auy so-called phenone nal votes, showing great percentages of - so-called republican gains in republican strong-holds.” Hon. Clifton R. Breekenridge, U. S. Minister to Russia, was at the State de¬ partment this week to receive his final in¬ structions. He expects to sail from New York on the 20th inst., and will stop in London a few days as the guest of Am¬ bassador Bayard before going on to St. The democratic campaign text book is ready for delivery, and it is a “hummer,” as might have been expected from the fact of Representative Bynum, of In¬ diana, having been its chief editor and compiler. The book is not for generAi distribution, but is intended to furnish ready information on campaign issues to speakers, editors and political writers. It is supplied by the Congressional Cam¬ paign Committee. Secretary Carlisle is daily proving that he is the right, man in the right place. Here is the opinion of a New York tariff lawyer whose jiersonal interests are being made to suffer by the Secretary’s acts: “The prompt and liberal interpretation Secretary Carlisle is placing upon the dis¬ puted features of the new tariff is cansing grief among New York lawyers. You ean not appreciate the importance of Secre¬ tary Carlisle’s action unless you are aware that many New York lawyers made large fortunes out of the almost endless litigation caused by the interpre¬ tation of the McKinley tariff by republi can Treasury officials. I don’t know whether Mr. Carlisle was aware ol this, but judging from the promptness with which he has decided how certain provis¬ ions of the new law shall be construed by the customs officers, I should suspect that he was. As a matter of fact, he is saving the government thousands of dol¬ lars, even if he is knocking the lawyers out of business. And he is doing that with such easy freedom that about the only thing he has left them to fight over is the question as to whether goods im¬ ported between the 1st and the28thda.ys of August shall be rated under the old or new law, the first being the date stated in the bill for the new law to take effeet and the last being the date upon which it ac¬ tually became a law. The Secretary has ruled so decisively and quickly on the leading features that the courts will have practically nothing to do under the pres¬ ent law.” U. S. Treasurer Morgan returned to Washington this week from a six weeks tour of I he Pacific coast. Mr. Morgan brings good reports, both political and business. From a business point of view the ca¬ lamity wail, which the republican cam¬ paign managers have adopted as a party trade-mark, is indefeasible and much to be regretted, as it will unquestionably have the effect of retarding the growth of the business revival now beginning to be felt throughout the country; but from a partisan political point of view, it is u mighty good thing for the democratic party, os it will convince the doubting voters that the men who are directing the republican party prefer a continuance of the business stagnation, for which they are primarily responsible, to a revival of business which would be properly credit¬ ed to the democratic party, and will there¬ fore be worth thousands of votes to the democratic party from those who are too patriotic to support a party that is wil¬ ling to talk down the business of the country forthe purpose of trying to get the votes of thoughtless or ignorant peo¬ ple. A party that has no better argu¬ ment to offer to get votes than the busi nees misfortunes of the people, for which its own legislation was responsible, will never be returned to power in this coun¬ try, unless the people have much less “ are credited vvwtr havmg.
