What Oup Reporters See, Hear and
Think—A Little of Everything.
A Letter to Uncle Edmund Kennedy.
Bkag, Ga., August 25.
Dear Uncle Edmund: Since
noticing your card in the Times
asking the support of the public,
I felt it a duty to writo a few lines
which will give you tho sentiments
of every democrat in »ur district
—tho 48th—and which is &aid to
be one of the strongholds of the
party of which you are one of the
candidates.
Now, Uncle Edmund, we are not
going to vote fqr you for the sim¬
ple reason that you are a-straddle
of the fence and seeking the sup¬
port of both parties. No; we
could not vote for you if we be¬
longed to your little gang, because
you strayed from your cap’n.
Wo notice your card in two
papers whose political views afe
as far apart as you will be from
tho tax collector’s office after the
first Wednesday in October. You
seem to want the pleasure of rep¬
resenting both parties, but such is
impossible in Bulloch county.
Some of your friends are claim¬
ing you to be such a good old man,
as a reason why they want you
elected, and are trying to catch
democratic votes with that
ture. Now, Uncle Edmund, we
believe you are a right good man
but one thing we are certain of
and that is you are in a mighty
sorry party and, of course, have
got awful sorry company to asso
crate with. Yes, they say he is a
good old man, but we wish to say
that Paul McElveen is the best
man and we are going to elect him
regardless of the many good things
your friends may say of you.
Uncle Edmund, we are not fight¬
ing you as a man and shall never
do so, but we are fighting that
third party to which you
and shall always do so. It is
quite true that you have one or
two angels among you who are
willing to do anything not becom
iug to a trueeitizen who is looking
to the future welfare and happi
ness of their children not so much
that they want to add any glory
to your name or put a few nickels
in your pocket, but merely to spite
a party whom they will never
conquer— the grandest orgamza
tion on God’s green earth.
Now, in conclusion, we ask you
to consider carefully whore you
are at and eee if you don’t think
that you are iu the wrong place;
then go home and talk to your
wife about it, for I know sbe
thinks you are in the wrong place,
and take her advice for she is a
good woman and repent and be
saved before it is too late.
Yours truly,
Democrat Voter.

populists Coming Back Home.
“lion. James R. Hogan, popu¬
list nominee for governor, ad¬
dressed a small crowd of people at
Stillmore Tuesday.”
“Hon. Geo. 1. Harwich, demo
cratic candidate for representative,
was on our streets Wednesday,
No better man for this able posi
tion could have been selected t lan
Mr. Barwick, and he predicts an
overwhelming democratic victory
We clip the above two locals
from the Swaiusboro News, organ
of the populist party iu Emanuel
county, Now when a populist
acknowledges that their
paper cubernatorial candidate had a
email crowd of bearers yon may
of certainty that he had
know a and
exceedingly slim turn out,
an in such high terms
then to speak
stsssSs
course that will be the wisest
thing for them to do, and we con
gratulate the News on its good
judgment in leading the procession
Without Opposition.
It may be regarded as prac¬
tically settled that Col. Rufus
E. Lester will be re-elected to
Congress without opposition.
The desire to oppose him may
exist among a few, but the
candidate is not to be found.
Capt. M. J. Doyle stated yes¬
terday that the search had been
unsuccessful.
“You see,” said the captain
“there are four necessary qual
ifications. The man must be
willing to be sacrificed; he must
have some money or some friends
who hav* money; he, or they,
must be willing to put it up;
and last, but not least, he must
be a man who would make a
fairly good run. The man who
combines these qualities has
hid out in the woods somewhere,
and I am afraid we wont be
able to find him until after
the election.”—Morning News,
Mr Doyle speaks here words
of wisdom and it would be well
for every populist and republi¬
can candidate in this section
to ponder over these words
carefully and act accordingly.
Candidate Hogan.
Candidate Hogan, who eojoys
the unique distinction of being
the Populist candidate for gov¬
ernor of Georgia, addressed the
people of Effingham last night in
the town of Guyton. The Sa
vaunah Press gives a synopsis
0 f his remarks this afternoon,
ft was not a strong speech and
yet it was not a bad speech,
If there was nothing new or
particularly earnest in it, there
was nothing vicious or particu
larly abusive in it. Mr. Hogan
jg * quiet, good easy man who
has represented the county of
Lincoln in the house for sev
eral terms. He has served with
credit, if not with distinction.
He bears, so far as we know,
a good name in his neighborhood
but it was not necessary to
listen to Mr. Hogan to realize
that he will never be governor
0 f Georgia. He is spending these
hot days and nights
threshing over old straw. Three
times have the people of Georgia
passed upon these issues and
repudiated them entirely. The
Populist party brings nothing
n ew. It offers no partial scheme
of relief. It has abandoned,
0 ne by one, the various planks
0 f its platform, and Candidate
Hogan now comes before the
people with the obsolete plea
for prohibition on one side and
the general claim of oppo
sition ou the other. It is nec¬
essary, says Mr. Hogan, to hav®
an opposition of some sort in
Georgia, therefore we tender you
th.e Populist party. This is very
vague and specieus. Prohibition
is not a state issue and never
will be. It has been turned
over to local option and the
people are thoroughly well sat¬
isfied with that disposition of
it. As Colonel Candler said,
in a letter to Mr. Hogan, prohib
itiou is no more an issue in
this campaign than the question
of infant baptism. This matter
wa« thoroughly canvassed by
Mr. Seaborn Wright. Canvassed
with all eloquence and earnestness
of a new crusade, and a tre¬
mendous verdict was registered
in opposition to it then. The
people have seen no reason for
changing their opinion now.
If the Populist have only the
merit of being an opposition
party they are entitled to all
the oredit and all the fun they
can get out of this distinction,
They are simply “agin the
government.” Very well, let-it
g° at that aud the frivolous
mission of Candidate Hogan and
his followers will soon be exposed.

What Spoils the Sweet Tooth.
A little boy who Is quite well ao
Riwicted with .. tho . man who . keeps . a
grocery on North State street happened
to be in there the other day when the
grocer was veighing out sugar. The
white, glistening stuff appealed to the
little fellow’s sweet tooth and he asked
for a lump of sugar.
The grocer laughed “The idea!"
he said. “You mustn’t eat it. It will
rot your teeth."
"Why?” asked the boy. He had been
told such things many times before,
and many times before had he asked
"why,” but never had he received a
satisfactory answer.
“Oh,” replied will the grocer v ’iy.
"because it All sweet
break the enamel on your teeth and rot
them.”
Then the boy arose in the might of his
injured pride. “I don’t see,” said he,
“how that can ba Sweet things ought
not hurt any more than sour things, or
bitter things or not so much, in fact. ”
And the little chap was right. But
he didn’t know it, nor the grocer didn’t
know it. Consequently, it is just as
well to enlighten them and at the same
time correct tbe generally prevailing
erroneous impression. Sugar and other
sweet things in themselves do not hurt
tho teeth—that is, it is not the equality
of sweetness that is injurious, but the
fine, sandy particles that abound even
in the most highly refined sugar. These
scratch against the teeth and break the
enamel, but the innocent sweetness gets
the oredit for all the damage.—Chicago

PRISONER IN ARMS.'
Ohanolta sat on the rose covered poroh
listening, but with inattentive ears, to
tho marching and conn termarching of
tho militia which was drilling in the
block below.
The troops wore hourly expecting a
call to active service in tho war with
Spain, but Chancita was not thinking
of war, but of love.
Tonight Manuel would come for his
answer, and she had decided at last to
give him her promise.
Tho reproachful eyes of Tom Reilley
haunted her, and "her qouscieuue remon¬
strated, but Chancita shrugged hor
shoulders in disdain. It is truo she had
encouraged Tom, had oven gone so far
as to contemplato with pleasure the his
possibilities of the three rooms over
grocery, for the homemakiug instinct
was strong in Chancita, but Tom was so
hopelessly slow, unresponsive and as
awkward as a schoolboy when she was
kind, and when she openly scoffed at
him ho had never a word to say in re¬
ply, but stood looking at her with a
pained, uncomprehending look.
Now, Manuel— the hot thought yood mshed of la
to her cheeks at the
fiesta and tbe moonlight walk in the
park. She thrilled at the memory of
the way Manuel’s arm had stolen
around her and.his dark head bent over
hers until his mustache brushed her
cheek.
She had resented the kiss with a blow,
and then Manuel, seizing her hands,
had kissed her again and again till she
lay trembling and subdued in bis arms,
But Ohancita’s thoughts were inter¬
rupted by Lupo Valencia, who came
running down the street with a shawl
thrown over hor head, Spanish fashion.
"Chancita," she exclaimed breath¬
lessly, as soou as she was within speak¬
ing distance, “Mra La Spada has been
arrested. She wrote a letter to the Span¬
ish premier"—
"What folly I" interrupted Chancita,
“Mrs. scratch Lqg$pn< her :1a with cannot so much and, as
name , a pon, as
for writing a letter"—
"But ’tis truo. I was there when
they took her. She cautioned me to say
nothing, for 'twas Manuel who wrote
it, and she would not betray him.”
"And what then I Can we no longer
write to Spain without arrest?"
“Ob, the letter was opened at the
poatoffleo. It urged the Spaniards to
attack Santa Barbara; told how there
was only one Gatling gun on tho coast
south of San Francisco, and that all the
troops were to be called away, leaving
t»a defenseless. ”
"The traitor,” exclaimed Qhangita,
springing up. "The double dyed traitor.
To enjoy the good things of a country
and then—a stab in the back.”
"Manuel hoped great things from
the Spaniards—perhaps even a rancho
In Cuba."
"It was a regular Judas trick."
Lupb ■ shrugged her shoulders and
Slipped away, saying- b’Wqll, there was
00 harm done. I just come over «/ tell
you ,tho news."
"Mother," called Chancita through
the open door, “if Manuel comes tell
him he will find me near San Marco
watching the drill."
Manuel did not follow Chancita. He
felt that be had received bis answer,
and turned away with an angry light
in his eyes and a enrse on his lips. His
family was in too great disfavor for
him to care to mingle in a crowd of
loyal citizens. Reilley, although recruit,
Toro a new
was winning tho approbation of the
officers hy his military bearing and the
skill with which ho executed the ma¬
neuvers of the drill, but his heart was
heavy, for to him enlisting had meant
more than the mere facing of danger. It
meant relinquishing the last hope of
winning the beautiful Spanish girl
whom lie loved.
Suddenly he looked up and met
Chancita’s gaze. Surely there was no
anger there. Admiration shone in her
eyes, and there was a wistful look in
the drooping corners of her scarlet lips.
Never had he seen her face so soft and
tender. Forgetful of military disci¬
pline, Tom would have left the rankB and
gone to her but for the sharp repri¬
mand of the captain, which recalled
him to his duty.
However, the drill was soon over, and
Chancita, womanwiso, lingered.
Walking home under the shadowy
trees Tom carried his first assault
against the Spanish. Never was an at¬
tack more sudden or a surrender mors
complete What was said is a secret be¬
tween them and tbe stars, but Chancita
found herself a prisoner within the bar¬

True Love In Kansas.
In Kansas matrimony extends from
the cradle to the grave. At Ooncordia
the other day a couple aged 18 and 45
and a couple aged 61 and 61 stood up
together and had the hafhess buckled
on. On tbe same day a couple aged 17
and 16 were married in McPherson
county. Tho mother of the bride sent a
letter of consent to the probate judge in
which she said she believed in early
marriages as “the only way to stop a
Jot of OOUTting foolishness.” — Kansas
City Journal.

shore to fall back upon. ’’—Cleveland
