hot understand the plans and pur
poses of this campaign, and the
many difficulties that environ me
in its prosecution, I, therefore, ask
the charity of yonr silence in dis
charging this (to me) unpleasant
duty.
My only hope of success would
be in a thorough canvass by my
self (and friends) of the state in
which the issues involved, could be'
discussed and the democratic party
aroused to a proper sense of its
duty at this hour. That canvass I
cannot make owing to physical dis
ability, as will appear from the
following note" from my family
physician:
‘Macon, Ga., June 25, 1890.—Col.
Thos. Hardeman, Macon, Ga.—My Dear
Sir: From your card in to-day’s issue
of tho Macon Telegraph I see -that you
have consented to discuss with Ool.
Northen the political issues of the gu
bernatorial campaign. As your physi
cian and friend I most earnestly protest
against yonr decision. As yon are aware
I have for the past year impressed upon
you the importance of absolute quiet,
and the avoidance of all excitement.
“ The condition of your heart is such
that if you attempt to make political
speeches during this heated term it will,
in my opinion, be attended with immi
nent risk to your life. Truly yours,
[Signed] Wm. F. Holt.”
Duty to my family requires that
heed his counsel, especially as
two efforts in that line convince me
of the propriety of his warning.
It is evident to all who have an
alyzed this canvass that it is, pure
ly and simply, the farmers’ right
against all other trades and pro
fessions hot in full sympathy with
its purposes. A contest of this
nature, if persisted in and carried
to its legitimate conclusions, will
create strife and division among
our people and divide our political
organization into warring classes.
Such a result no one would de
plore more than myself, or would
make greater sacrifices to avert.
The state of society in South Caro
lina, at present, resulting from a
struggle of like character—the
strife, the bitterness, and I had al
most said, the dismemberment t>f
the democratic party—warn me
against being a party to such a
state of political and social.- disor
ganization in Georgia.
Divisions now, in the face of im
pending dangers, which menace
the south from federal legislation,
would be disastrous to every inter
est of our people. Better submit
to the evils that result from class
elevation than to create, by heated
contests, division in democratic
Tanks. That would seriouely
threaten the'party’s existence, for
to. that party, at-last, we must look
for relief from our grievances and
deliverance from the burdens that
ppress our people.
For these reasons I withdraw
from the gubernatorial race. In
doing so, I cannot express in ap
propriate terms my feelings of
gratitude to my friends in every
part of Georgia,-who have. by word
and letter, given me assurance of
support To the

credited me so fully with, fidelity
to duty, to principle and the: inter
est of tlie state and her people, I
jeebly express the ackriowlcdge-
~ inents of a grateful heart and with
them the assurance that in the prb
vate life to which 1 retire I shall
liance eommend themselves to my
judgment and support, and no
member of the order will strike
stronger blows in their defense
than myself, but when aims and
purposes are perverted into politi
cal channels, I feel it a duty I owe
you to hoist the danger signal.
Measured by your yardstick, I find
that in all except minor issues I
come up to its requirements. Upon
the last one I am found wanting,
for I cannot consistently with my
sense of duty and obligation, in
dorse it as a measure of relief
worthy of your confidence. I am
well aware-that this measure (the
sub-treasury), as stated in a Farm
ers’ Alliance organ, “is a cardinal
principle of the alliance. It is the
test and the sine qua non of the
order. For an allianceman to say
he is opposed to it is like a mem
ber of the Christian church disbe
lieving the advent of the Savior.
•The battle is now being fought on
this line and none other. The tar
iff, the bloody shirt and the nig
ger are all dwarfed into insignifi
cance.” I regret, my . brethren,
that I cannot endorse this plank
in your platform. It is true you
you have in it a clause for the
straddler “or some better system,.’’
and some will avail themselves of
this “plan of escape,” but, as said
above, the sub-treasury plan is the
“cardinal principle” of the alli
ance, and I am too honest to dodge
it and too sincere to attempt to
curry your favor by straddling it.
While desiring with you a circula
tion of money that will be suffi
cient for any and all demands of
trade, I am compelled to say the
increase, if obtained under your
plan, would be but temporary, for
after th6 expansion under the pro
visions of your measure comes a
contraction. I am forced to say
to you that during the expansion of
currency,while your products are in
the warehouses under government
control, prices for everything you
buy, owing to inflation, will be
high, but when your twelve months
for storage’have expired, and you
are compelled to withdraw your
products, contraction follows (for
you must then refund the amount
borrowed), prices are reduced, and
your products are sold at reduced
figures.
I am compelled to say to you
that denouncing class legislation,
which has built up special indus
tries at the expense of the farming
interests of the country, you now
demand for yourselves a policy of
favoritism in legislation—a special
system which, if granted you,
should be granted to all, and if
granted to all'would convert this
government into a financial agency
to conduct and control the private
business of its oitizens. As Henry
Grady forcibly described the ten-
dency of such legislation, the mer
chant would ask the government to
coutrol the arteries of trade, the
manufacturer that his product be
protected, the rich ask for an army,
the unfortunate for help, this man
for schools and that for subsidy,
and so we have paternalism run
mad.
I cannot consent to aid the re
publican party (by ignoring the
fundamental priupiples of my owp
party;,) in consolidating powers in'
nreof relief for the allianceman of
the south. It is a measure
upon which men may and will
ride into position and place, but
“sooner or later” you will learn
.that it was conceived in deception,
horn of artifice, and must event
ually die from the diseases its un
fulfilled promises and dangerous
principles' will engender. Silence
under these circumstances would
be unwarranted, evasion unpar
donable. I therefore speak' my
sentiments, and time will reveal
who was your friend—he who
would not for favor deceive you,
or he who fed you upon apples of
Sodom.
Friends, alliancetnen, all classes,
all people, deliverance for all pur-
troubles can only come through
the maintenance of the great prin
ciples of the democratic party.

Why Woman is Man’s Best
Friend,
First, and foremost woman is
man’s best friend:
First, because she is his moth
er.
Second, because she is his
wife.
Because she is patient with him
in illness, endures his fretfnlness,
and “mothers” him.
Because she will stick to him
through good and evil report, and
always.believe in him, if she loves
him.
Because without her he would
be rude, rough and ungodly.
Because she teaches him the
value of gentle words: of kindly
thought and of consideration.
Because she can, with him, en
dure pain quietly and meet joy
gladly.
Because on her breast he can
shed tears of repentance, and he is
never reminded of them after
wards.
Because when he is behaving
like a fretful boy—as we all do,
you know, at times—with no rea
son in the world for it, woman’s
soft word, touch or glance, will
make him ashamed of himself, as
he ought to be.
Because without her as an in
centive he would grow lazy; there
would be no good work done, there
would be no noble books written,
there would be no beautiful pic
tures painted; there would be no
divine strains of melody.
Because she has made for us a
beautiful world in which we should
be proud to live, and contented to
die.
Because—and this is the best
reason of all—when the world has
reached an unenviable state of wick
edness, the blessed task of bring
ing out a Saviour for all mankind
was given to a woman, which was
God’s way of setting his seal of
approval on her who is mother,
wife, daughter, sweetheart, and,
therefore, man’s best friend.

the forest aisles—upholstery of a
spring morning. Wild beasts
standing outside the circle looking
on, like family servants from the

So surely an answer will come.

A novel treatment of ingrowing
toe-nails has been introduced into
France. The medium used is tin-
foil, such as is used in enveloping
chocolate, and other food products.
A single or double sheet of the tin-
foil is introduced between the nail
and the ulcerated tissues beneath
by the aid of an instrument with a
thin blade. The tinfoil is kept in
place by wax, which is moulded
over the parts. The beneficial ef
fects produced are attributed to
chemical rather than to the me

We think the Charleston News
and Courier has misunderstood the
motive of the convention of north-
ern men which was held recently
at Donglosville, in this state. In
an editorial review of the work of
the convention, the- News and
Courier overlooks its social and
fraternal features, and referring to
the appointment of a board of im
migration which will actively en
gage in the work of inducing north
ern people to locate in Georgia
and other Southern states, inti
mates that the labors of such a
board are unnecessary, and that
Georgia and the south have no
need of sach advertisement as may
be obtained through this source.
The Nsws and Courier says:
“The convention will excite no
little attention and commentin the
north for a few days no doubt, and
the board of immigration will
probably be able to reach and im
press favorably a class' of people
in that section which coaid not be
reached by any other agency.
Whether the new Georgia scheme
for advertising that state and fill
ing it with settlers will meet the
expectations of its promoters, may,
however, be serionsly doubted.
Georgia has been In tneCnloh for
a great many years. In fact, it
helped to form the Union, and to
buy and conquer the territory that
has been subsequently added to it.
Two new states, indeed, have been
carved out of the territory which
Georgia itself gave to the Union.
All intelligent people in the Union
ought to be pretty well informed
by this time, therefore, about the
history and resources of the state
and the character of its people.
Those who do not know anything
abont these matters,-«it would seem,
have scarcely the degree of intelli
gence that would, enable them to
read and understand the circnlars
of the board of canvassers appoint
ed at Douglasvfile, or to make them
desirable settlers in any part of
the south.”
While, of course, there is some
truth in what onr contemporary
says—and Georgia is pretty well
known to the people of the north,
and indeed throughout the whole
country—yet the work which has
been accomplished by northern
men who have made the state their
home has never had such public
expression as was given at Dong-
lasviile. Georgia may not need a
few “advertising circulars” in the
north to induce northern immigra
tion, but in view of the misrepre
sentation to which, in common
with-every other southern state,
she has been subjected by the par
tisan press of the north, the volun
tary testimony of a colony of north
ern men who stand up in the meet
ing and advocate her interests, is
certainly valuable and is sare to
do good.
And the “advertising circnlars”
will dc in their way. Onr contem
porary ought to know that adver
tising pays, and we are convinced
that this meeting of northmen on
Georgia soil, originally meant to
be merely fraternal, will have a
.business weight with the people of
the north which will be beneficial
to our northern citizens and to the
people of the state at large.
The tide oi northern capital is
flowing southward fast, but it did
not start of its own accord; we have
had to work for it, and every north
ern man vrho gets up and gives
his experience, makes the tide rush
faster. So let them go o» with the
advertising business and
Georgia and the south
world. We are not above . .
