Upon the great question of currency, WO

alleled unanimity by the people in 1892. ami

in congress, and upon our president,,'! speedy

passage of such legislation as will restore
silver to its constitutional position the as
money metal, and will secure ut once

parity, and give to every dollar in
tion, whether coin or paper, the same

Plank of the State Democratic Platform.
It is now United States Senator
Bacon, or soon will be, the Major
securing the nomination in caucus
today, Thursday, or. the first bal¬
lot. Following is the vote in the
caucus : A. O. Bacon, 93; II. G.
Turner, 37 ; L. F. Garrard, 21; Pat¬
rick Walsh, 9; C. F. Crisp, 1. On¬
ly 84 votes being necessary to a
choice, Maj. Bacon received 9 more
votes than sufficient to his nomi
nation.
Next Tuesday is the first Tues¬
day in November, and is the date
for the congressional election Let
every democrat in the first district
recollect it, and be sur« to go out
and stick in a ticket for Rufus E.
Lester.
Georgia will elect eleven demo¬
crats next week, as members of the
54th Congress. Not a single pop¬
ulist—not even “Glorious Tom
Watson, as he now styles himself
in his own paper—will elected conic hatch near out
enough being to
a contest.
The Augusta Herald says the
balance of the state is more wor¬
ried about the contest in the 10th
district than there is cause for;
that the idea that the contest is a
desperate one is “without warrant
and is groundless.” This we are
glad to believe, and hope that next
luesday ’3 election will prove the
correctness of the statement.
Representative Baiiey, of Spald¬
ing county, has introduced a bill
to provide for again submitting to
the people the question of a con¬
stitutional amendment lo increase
the number of supreme court judg
es to five. Let the bill be so
amended as to allow the people the
privilege of electing the judges, as
they do m I lorida, and the pro
posed amendment will be ratified.
One of the most unique legal
documents eyer written is the will
of John M. O’Brien, which has
lately been filed for record in the
probate court of Duval county,
Fla,, and reads -is follows: ‘•'Lrs -US.
Arnold, God bless her! she
have all I leave.” The will w&s
written with a pencil, upon the
wall by the side of the bed upon

THE CHAMPION BAMBOOZLERS.
Some little time ago the Wash¬
ington correspondent of the Chica¬
go Times wrote that paper a “cock
aniy^y^f'ory,” to the effect that
Sefchnary'Hoke Smith had made
war on the Atlanta Constitution
and ihe Augusta Chronicle, because
they were not in harmony with his
financial views, and had been at¬
tempting to have them debarred
from the mails upon the pretext
that they were violating the postal
laws relating to lottery schemes.
The statement went on to say that
representatives of the two papers
mentioned had appeared before the
Postmaster General in the interest
1 of their publications, and would
likely succeed in heading off the
Secretary’s scheme to temporarily
squelch the Constitution and the
Chronicle in the interest of the At
Junta Journal.
The Times has not seen what
the Constitution lias had to say in
reflation to the matter, but the Au¬
gusta Chronicle states emphatical¬
ly that there is not one word of
truth in the story, and says that it
is so absurd that nobody would be¬
lieve it, even though it should not
be contradicted.
Now, it is passing strange that
any paper should repuVlish such a
lake, after it has been branded as
a falsehood by the parties interest¬
ed. But the story reappears in
Tom Watson’s paper, and then
eome3 out afresh in all the popu¬
list small-fry iu the state, with all
the embellishments, in which the
President and the Postmaster Gen¬
eral came in tor their share of con¬
demnation.
It is remarkable, the lengths
that the populist press will go for
the purpose of getting something
with which to bamboozle its read¬
ers.
v HOW THE VOTES WENT.
Last Thursday the legislature
consolidated the election returns
for governor and state officers and
we are now able to place before
our readers a correct report of the
democratic majorities in the late
election. The vote polled was as
follows:
For governor—Atkinson, 121,
049; Hines, 96,888. Atkinson’s
majority, 24,161.
For secretary of state—Candler,
124,862; Nance, 96,764. Candler’s
majority, 32,098.
For comptroller-goneral—Wright,
125,295; Kemp, 92,641. Wright’s
majority, 32,654.
Iter treasurer—Hardeman, 125,-
161; Jones, 83,012, Hardeman’s
majority, 32,149.
For attorney-general,—Terrell,
125,125; Mahaffey, 92,930. Ter¬
rell’s majority, 32,195.
For commissioner of agriculture
—Nesbitt, 124,869; Barrett, 52,
945. Nesbitt’s majority, 31,924.
It will be noticed that Mr. At¬
kinson’s majority is 24,161 over
Judge Hines, who ran 3,876 ahead
of Jone3, the populist candidate
for state treasurer, and who polled
the highest vote of any candidate
on the ticket excepting Judge
Hines. Thus Mr. Atkinson, who
ran 4.249 behind the democratic
candidate for state treasurer, came
out of the race 28,037 ahea 1 of the
populist ticket, while comptroller

“DOWNING POPULIST LIES.”
Under the above caption, the
Augusta Chronicle makes a favor¬
able comment upon the article
contributed to the Blackshear
Times by Mr. A. P. Brantley, to
which this paper referred last week
in its editorial under the caption
of ‘-Silver and Cotton.” The Chron¬
icle closes its comment with the
following paragraph : “Many oth¬
er interesting facts were brought
out by the county records, all show¬
ing vast strides in prosperity
among the people of Pierce. In
other counties, wo have no doubt,
similar results could be obtained
by a similar comparative analysis.
This way of meeting the claims of
the calamity howler is ono of the
best that has been brought to our
attention.”
The Times heartily agrees with
the Chronicle that Mr. Brantley’s
article is one of the best answers
to the calamity howler, be he pop¬
ulist or not. We are sorry to ob¬
serve that the howling is not left
entirely for the populists to do,
and that the same paper from
which we clipped the above para¬
graph contains a howl or two from
the Chronicle’s candidate for the
United States senate.
Mr. Walsh delivered an address
before the Georgia legislature last
week, which is remarkable chiefly
for its plea for the free and unlim¬
ited coinage of silver at the ratio
of 16 to 1 of gold. We quote from
the address as follows:
“From 1837 to this day there has
never been a dollar coined at any
of the United States mints
at that ratio—today the seignior¬
age is being coined at the ratio
16 to 1. That is the honest inter¬
pretation of the platform of the
party.
“Silver is the money of final re¬
demption, so guaranteed by the
Constitution, and it should be re¬
stored to its lawful place at once.
The crime that has been perpetra¬
ted against the peace and prosper¬
ity of the people cannot Recharac¬ For
terized with too strong terms.
less causes than this there have
been great revolutions. And the
revolution is coming here. It will
be a revolution of peace, but it will
be none the less positive and po¬
tent on that account.”
The sentence to which we invite
special attention is that in which
Mr. Walsh characterizes the efforts
of political financiers to protect the
currency of the nation, as a “crime
against the peace and prosperity of
the people,” more than sufficient
cause a great revolution.
In the light of the showing made
for Pierce county by Mr. Brantley,
which the Chronicle feels justified
in saying could be made for other
counties also, we are just a little
puzzled to know how Mr. Walsh
arrives at the conclusion that silver
legislation— or the lack of it—*has
affected the prosperity of the coun¬
try.
The Chronicle says that the talk
of a lack of prosperity is a popu¬
list lie, and the Times is inclined
to agree with it; and we are sorry
that Mr. Walsh lends his aid to the
circulation of such stateirents.
Marvelous Results.

derinan, of Dimondale, Mich., we are per
mitted to make rhis extract: “I have-no

WHY NOT IN STATESBORO !
The Times notes in its Florida
exchanges that a Mr. J. Monroe
Smith, of Marion county, but for¬
merly a Connecticut gingham man¬
ufacturer, is taking steps to start
a factory in Florida.
Mr. Smith says that he can put
up a plant with $32,000 that will
give employment to 100 operatives,
and that the goods can be manu¬
factured in the south, where the
cotton grows, and where the win¬
ters are so mild as to greatly re¬
duce the cost of fuel, 40 per cent
cheaper than in Connecticut.
Of this $32,000, $10,000 will be
subscribed at Mr. Smith’s old
home, and the balance of the stock
will be taken by capitalists of
Ocala, who are particularly inter¬
ested in the introduction of manu¬
facturing industries iu that town
It strikes the Times that the
record of this news should set the
capitalists of this tos T u to investi¬
gating. If it will pay to establish
plants for the manufacture of fine
cotton goods in the region above
mentioned, there can be no valid
reason advanced why the same
thing cannot be done here. Our
town is located in the.midst of the
finest cotton-growing section in the
south, and the winters are exceed¬
ingly mild, and native labor is
plentiful and cheap.
The real estate owners of this
town might just as well make up
their minds at once that they have
got to do something to keep things
on the advance movement. Just
like everything else, when a town
gets grown it begins to decay.
There is no stand-still point to
anything in the world, and States¬
boro can be no exception. People
who have come from the surround¬
ing country into town will have to
continue to make a living here, or
else the town can’t hold them.
Just as the man on the farm must
make his farm self-sustaining or
go to the wall, so the man in the
town must thrive or quit the town.
No farm can keep up lhat does
not produce more than bread aud
meat and clothes for its occupants.
The wear and tear of machinery,
the unavoidable drain upon the
soil, and fencing and buildings
must be provided for. Just so no
town can prosper that fails to
gather revenue from abroad. Jones
and Brown and.Smith cannot grow
rich, nor even succeed in holding
their own, by-swapping horses with
each other. Sooner or later some
horse drops out of the ring, nnd
the trading is at an end. So this
town cannot hold its own without
turning out something for other
markets. The three or four saw
mills and surrounding turpentine
farms keep a soul in it now, but
they can’t do it always.
It is to the interest of every
property owner and every laborer
in town that some manufacturing
industries should be established
here. We repeat, if it will pay to
spin and weave cotton in Ocala, it
will also pay to do it in States¬
boro.
.—
Editor \V. F. Carter, of the Broad Axe,
a populist paper published at Claxton,
entered suit in the United States court in
Savannah, a few days ago, against Glenn
Smith, of Daisy, for writing a scurrilous
postal card to Carter. Smith admitted
writing the card, but said that lie wrote
it for one F, N. Fodd, whose name was
affixed to it. Smith was thereupon re¬
leased.
