Imagine these woids to be forty head of shaughi, game cock and bantam roosters perched on the bridge of our editorial desk, flap ping their wings, strutting back . and forth and crowing like blood¬ ed stock from a royal court yard and you will have some idea oi what we wish to say. The populists had put out a “strong” ticket; they had bought all the whiskey they could; had ■ opened up headquarters in several places in town; the candidate for representative was claiming all the negro vote; Uncle Edmund would certainly carry all his kith and kin; Franklin had not only Bulloch county in his grasp but had even gone into Screven make conquest of that territory: wagons and teams had been hired; barbecue grounds cleared up and a very knowing attorney had pub¬ lished to the world in the big dailies that it was nip and tuck with the representative candidate, claiming three hundred to his credit and the balance iii favor tuck; old men and young men had set up all night guarding colored voters collected at various places of rendezvous, and dawn had come on the day of elec¬ tion with some timid democrats believing that we might lose ai least two Dffices—the tax collector and representative. That waB the way the day opened up, but oh what a difference in the evening! The populists brought their men iu wagons, marched them to the polls by squads and companies and their candidates formed a line of breastworks to keep them from getting away or any one get¬ ting to them. But their strength was soon spent and the tide was turned. For every populist there were a half dozen democrats right there too, and though the Sink Hole, Laston and other populist districts had emptied themselves at the court house hoping to cut down the big democratic majority nothing was gained by it. The democrats caught on to the racket aud came here also, and conse¬ quently the largest vote ever poll¬ ed here was run up by 6 o’clock. The democrats had two hundred straight ballots iu the bottom of the box and continued to vote steadily all day. They used up all their tickets and gave us an order for one thousand more. This fact was soon known all over the court ground aud had a won¬ derfully good effect. With all the great reports that had gone abroad that this county would go populist, there is not a victory in the state more magnifi cent. Every democrat in the f county seemed to think that he must do something and all deserve credit for excellent work. As a result the email majority of less than one hundred received by the slowest candidate two years ago was raised to over four hundred. No democratic candidate on last Wednesday received less tliau four hundred and one climbed to over seven hundred—the average being about five hundred. With such a victory after such a fight the dem¬ ocrats could not refrain from cel¬ ebrating, aud while we pen these words a crowd is marching up and down the streets keeping time to a bass drum and singing “Donald¬ son is elected, just as I expected, climbihg up tbe court house stairs.” About night when the returns began to come in, the pops began to disappear and tbe democrats to celebrate. The big dram was brought out, round after round of cannon crackers was fired and the populist candi dates impersonated by lows who created a great deal of fun for all parties. On Thursday when the official count was known more crackers were fired and the bell in the clock tower that can be heard a half n score of miles rang for twenty minutes. Everybody feels like the war is over again and has settled down to work, and the last wail of pop¬ ulism has died away ou the brisk October air. “The hit dog always hollows.” Last week we gave our opinion of a mau who claimed to be a demo¬ crat and yet would vote a split ticket. We have heard of two of such men since the election and they seem to be as hopelessly in the minority as the man half asleep who stood up in church when the minister said “reverse your positions and all who want to go to hell stand up.” There were more straight tickets cast iu this election than was ever known before. Six hundred straight democrat ballots were found in the box of the 1209th district. Hogan received six votes in Chat¬ ham countX-wbat b wonder. The state has gone democratic by an overwhelming majority. There will not be a single populist oi republien senator and less than a half dozen in the house of rep¬ resentatives’ Hogan’s total major¬ ities in the counties that he carri¬ ed barely exceed fifteen hundred. If we had been elected to the leg¬ islature on the populist ticket we really believe we would resign. It will be so lonely up there for the few that will go. Screven county that has been in the hands of the populists for for some time has gone by a majority of one hundred and fifty. If we had time we would go over and help them celebrate. We give.the pictures this week of the next governor of Georgia, and some of the promeuent county officers who were towards the front of the ticket. We tried Aery hard to secure a cut of our representa¬ tive elect but failed in our efforts owing to the proimity of the elec¬ tion to publication day. It will be impossible for us to tell all the good things about the election this week. We shall have totcomeatit again week. It si only on extraordinary oc¬ casions that the Times appears late, but it was impossible to late get the official returns until Thursday afternoon, and we thought it would be better to be one day late anb have the retusns than to come out on time. Missionary Tea at Mrs. W. C, Parker’s next Friday afternoon. The Atlanta Journal will not get out a weekly any more, It will come semi-weekly instead and contain more attractive reading. Sam Jones’ letters and sermons will continue as before and there will be frequent contributions from Hon. John Temple Graves. The price will be $1.00 instead of 50cts with the Times you can get it for 75cts. Uncle Edmund Kennedy had one thousand tickets printed “Democratic Ticket” with all the offices blank except his own. His son Dan, it is said, brought 80 ne¬ groes to the polls, and got his tickets mixed. Seeing “Demo¬ cratic Ticket” at the top, in his haste he thought they were his father’s tickets, but learned after¬ wards that he voted the whole business with the straight demo¬ cratic ticket. The fifth of October has come and gone and old Bulloch remains the grand old county she has ever been. The viper that had crawled over into her borders has received his death wound apd as Bob Ber¬ ner said “Its tail does not eveu wig¬ gle in the county.” It had ceas¬ ed to move before the »un went down Wednesday afternoon. Ever since Admiral Schley sank Cer vera’s fleet we have felt so proud of our country tb&t we could not sufficiently compose our exhilera ting thoughts on that event to write what we wished to concern¬ ing that magnificent victory. Our feelings of publications have been the same since Wednesday and we most chronicle the events that day in some fashion, equally incapacitated to do subject justice. Nor that we glory in the defeat of ogy political and noon' 1 5- ' •ncnt have moved III *1 £ ‘ masses of the people with omfl'Ctu g power and con¬ quered tlm bvilro-headed monster that was dostr> vitig the peace and prosporitv of nr country.* Men for onco hiiv-- thought before cast¬ ing their tiili' b>. The populists have admin-it tint it was a fair deal and that they are vanquished. They have always said that they were counted < ut, when now it happens that they are bad coun¬ ters themselves. They have had for the first time managers and clerks at all the precincts and have received their worst defeat and the weakness of their charge has been exposed. The populist parey, as we said last week, is gone. It will never reappear, and referring again to what we have said, some of their leaders have avowed their intention already of going into the republican party. But not many of them will doit When the smoke of the affray has cleared away and the scent of can¬ non crackers gone and the sound of the drum and independence bell died away, they will gather back to their fathers’ house and reunite the family again. How nice it will be when brothers and fathers and friends can sit down on the door steps and tell the same old tales and laugh at the same jokes and experience the feelings once more that makes all world kin. Some of the ranlc fel¬ lows who got completely encircled by the republican serpent coils, may the be carriod away in its but good sensible citizens of the coun¬ try will realize that the democrat party is the party of the people and will fall back into line They will receive a hearty welcome and find that the democrats who have remained true to the cause will treat them tairly and find a place for them and resume work where they left off six years ago. -- John Jones: “When I went home Wednesday evening one of my mules was standing at the lot gate tallying democratic votes with first one fore foot and then the other.” Steve Blackburn: “Paul McEl veeu wore out two patters dancing last night and then didn’t draw a long breath, Allen Lee kept time alright but his movement was rather slow,” Dock Mikell: “Jjhn Donaldson and Sam Groover ran iaster in the third party itself than any man on thoir ticket.” R. Simmons: “Mr. Shaw I want to get you to help me buiy the third party” Mr, Shaw: It is no corpse of mine; it is none of my kin folks.” Lawrence Akins “The bible says let the dead bury the dead” A colored man as full as ho could stand : “Gentlemen, dis is sho one big day, but oh! what a little un tomorrow will be.” A Rosolio late Wednesday after¬ noon : “Look here, old man Ed¬ mund’s face is long like h—1.” You’ll please ask Harmon Davis what be said about the third party. R. Simmons about noon Oct. 5: “Men we are alright, old man Ed¬ mund will surely be elected by at least 400 majority.” S. J. Williams a few days before the election to a confidential pop: “I will beat John Donaldson some where between 250 and 300 votes.” The pop; “I wbb in hopes it would be more than that.” Wil¬ liams : “No, 300 is about all I can make." Jas. J. Williams to a colored man : “Well you dont know me do you?” “No sir I do not” replied the voter: “I am the man they are going to send to the legislature Williams.” A colored pop voter in the sur¬ geons office having a finger ampu¬ tated and more sick than hurt: “Boss, boss dat was sho mean liquor, dat pop liquor wus.” Mack Scarboro to coronor Stan¬ ford: “Quitman if I Bhould hap¬ pen to die do give an honest ver¬ dict at my inqmst.

Jasper Fraufelin: “Make up your mind on next Wednesday and vote the dictates of your conscience” and they did. S. J. Williams came out of the race Thursday morning. Joe Oliff was out of town Thurs¬ day. They say he went to see bis uncle. Boatwright: “Any man that would vote a democratic ticke would put bis wife and children m jail.” we need a jail then as big as the country. D. R. Groover, Friday morning: “This is V gooff time to have a low too loud or make too much noise.” But the “boys” will be boys in spite of Mr. Simmons. A leading pop: “I stood our defeat very well until the bell be¬ gan to toll; then I broke down, it seemed much like a funeral. ’ so A democrat: ‘‘I have one regret that our victory was so sweeping —we won’t have &ay more fun.” EVERY BRIDE and wife should know about the pre¬ paration that for half a century has been helping expectant mothers bring little ones into the world without danger and the hundred and one m. j* i discomforts and distractions incident to child-birth.
