campaign funds. A number of
leading men on the campaign com
mittees have been out upon po
litical foraging expeditions, and
it is hinted that they, have not
met with the success Which they
expected, or which they thought
was really necessary. Certain
sources of campaign funds which
have been tapped before and have
flowed freely, have this summer
given forth at best but a meagre
and attenuated stream, not suffi
cient in volume to furnish the de
sired motor power to turn the
wheels of the machine. There
have been complaints among the
leaders of an indifference on the
part of many whilom contributors,
which, they feel, smacks of base
ingratitude. The trusts and man
ufacturers who are flourishing un
der the Dingley bill are loath, in
many instances, it is said, to ren
der due thanks to the party which
made their prosperity possible.
Seeing no immediate prospect of
a repeal of that act, they are in
dined to withhold their contribu
tions and to lose interest in the
campaign. The banks also hav
ing received much desired financial
legislation, and believing it is se
cure fot sometime to come, are
backward in putting up the cash
for political purposes. Altogeth
er, it is probable that the reptib
lican managers may be forced to
call upon the individual workers
for contributions, or to assess the
government employees. The lat
ter is unpleasant, as it is in viola
tion of law, and, while it will sure
ly go unpunished, would yet get
into the newspapers and might
cost the. party dear. The .former
on the other hand, is likely to
make the individual mad, and
cost the party this support. It is
announced that a large campaign
fnnd is necessary this - fall, to pay
for the distribution of “campaign
literature.”
The Republican Congressional
Committee in this city is anxious
ly studying the perturbations in
the German vote, which are now
beginning to manifest themselves
as a result of the records and plat
forms of the two parties. Especi
ally is this true t>f the middle
west, where a comparatively small
“flop” by the Germans would
throw the victory to Bryan. These
Western Germans seemed to have
been greatly prejudiced by the
speech of Secretary Root, wherein
he predicted that a war with Ger
many was inevitable, and whose
theats against that country were
soon followed up by similar out
cries from Senator Lodge, who
not only is the administration’s
mouthpiece upon the floor of the
Senate, but was also permanent
chairman of the Republican Na
tional Convention, an evidence of
the confidence reposed in him by
the party managers. The result
of the study of the situation is not
encouraging for the republicans'
Not only has Dr. L. W. Habercom,
who is perhaps the most influen
tial German in the country, and
who conducted the German press
bureau for McKinley four years
ago, declared for Bryan, but he
has now accepted similar work
for the democrats this year. Fur
ther there have already been many
fections among the German news
papers of the country, especially
those of the west, where imperial
ism is admittedly the great issue
and silver is not dreaded as it is
in parts of the east.
Farm Labor.
Trade at Home.
The New York Freeman’s Jour
nal says: “It is perhaps not gen
erally known that the gold and
silver money of .this country at
the present time is on the ratio of
16 to 1. It is strange that the op
ponents of this ratio in both par
ties have never, during the present
anti-silver administration, sug
gested'a change of ratie. It has
been the law of the land since 1884
And yet during all the years of
the republican party in power no
republican or gold democrat has
ever had the courage to propose a
bill to congress changing this law.
The objection of the opponents of
the ratio is not really to the ratio
of 16 to 1,'bnt to free coinage of
silver at any ratior.”
Prevented A Tragedy.
.Timely information given Mrs.
George Long, of New Straitsville,
Ohio, saved two lives. A. fright
ful cough had long kept her awake
every night. She had tried many
remedies and doctors but steadily
grew worse until urged to try Dr
King’s New Discovery. One bot
tle wholly cured her; and she
writes, this marvelous medicine
also cured Mr. Long of a severe at
tack of Pneumonia. Such cures
are positive proof of its power to

on business. A large party of
southwest Georgia merchants went
on ahead of Mr. Jordon several
days ago to purchase t their fall
stock of goods.
“Down our way things are look
ing prosperous,” said Mr. Jordan,
and all of the merchants feel able
to go where they please to buy
their fall stock. I don’t think I
remember the time whep that sec
tion of the country wngin better

been turning loose a la^ge sum of

successful cotton growing and

“It is my opinion that this fall
will see the best conditions in
Southwest Georgia that have ever
prevailed. The farmers will diver

cratic ticket and content them-
salves withthe providence of God.’
Hogs Help in the Crops.
The other day Mr. John Gunn
of Randolph county, was in the
field where one of his negro ten
ants was plowing when he saw
coming along a drove of hogs
“Whosa hogs are those?” masked
Mr. Gunn.
“They’re mine,” was the reply.
“Why haven’t you got them in
the pasture?”,
“I lets ’em stay in here on er
purpose. Endurin’ er de wet
weather dem hawgs follow berhine
me and when I plows up er tuff er
grass dey eats it up. Dey been er

A Postman’s Big Burden of Maga
zines.
A Washington postman has been
made weary of his job by the La
dies’ Home Journal. The reason
is that on the twenty-fifth of each
month he is compelled to make a
special round over his route to de
liver that magazine to subscribers.
He is almost completely submerg
ed by journals, their aggregate
weight exceeding forty pounds.
The bulky burden precludes his
carrying any other mail matter.
The Washington post-office reports
that the monthly consignment of
Journals in that city is “the big
gest-lot of one publication ever
sent from our post-office.”
