The democratic candidates, Bry

Sol Solomon and Jeff Orr, negro
men, have been indicted in Twiggs
Superior court for the murder of
Mr. Nelson Slappey at WeBtlake
about a year ago.
Ex-President . Harrison declares
in a half-hearted sort of way that
he will vote for McKinley, but does
not give the administration his un
qualified endorsement,.
Hon. "W. J. Bryan repeats the jis-
sertion that he will not be a candi
date for a second term if elected

The striking coal miners of Penn
sylvania held a convention last Sat

The Georgia legisloture will meet
in regular session next Wednesday,
24th, and during the next 50 days
the members will serve the state to
the best of their ability. We would
suggest that there can be too much
law-making.
Good price for cotton really bene
fits only those farmers who use
meat, corn, etc.-, of their own rais
ing. Those who must buy farm
supplies simply receive more money
for what "they sell and pay more
money for what they buy.
Commercial progress-along legiti
mate lines toward financial gsuccess
is commefidable and desirable, but
when the gain of money is the chief
purpose at the expense of manhood,
thoughtful people will not give their
endorsement.
Since the first adoption of a tariff
law that enabled Americau manu
facturers to sell their products out
of proportion to their value, the re
publican party has been in league
with the money power against the
general interests of the people who
do not control much money,
In legislation, administration, and
in the conduct of their political cam
paigns, the republican managers rate
money above manhood.
In legislation, monopolies and
trusts receive protection through
discriminating tariff rates, and in
administration these' same money
owners' are the beneficiaries df fa
voritism. .
These monopolists and trust mag
nates in turn have contributed mu
nificently in money to the republi
can campaign fund—placing money
above the suffrage of the people.
They act upon the principle (or lack
of principle) that measures their
own business conduct—that money
is above manhood.
The democrats repudiate all- this,
and that it be not engrafted as a
permanent policy of this govern
ment, they are striving earnestly to
defeat republicanism. This money
supremacy is the direct forerunner
of- the imperialism against which
Mr. Bryan and other democratic
speakers and writers are proclaim
ing.
Porto Rico and the Philippines
were contracted for that money
might be gained by these same mo
nopolists and trust magnates, or
others of like ilk.
Directly after Manila was captur-
en and occupied, a prominent Geor
gia republican for commercial pur
poses, told this writer that the Phil
ippines would be subjugated and
held if it should be decided that
there would be money in it for this
country. He said: “There is no par
ticle of patriotism in any of* this de
sire to gain new territoyr. There is
nothing in it but the desire for
money.’'
In opposition to all this, democra
cy is contending on patriotic lines,
and all who place manhood above
money should vote for the demo
cratic candidates.
The Atlanta Daily News, just a
week old, is up-to-date in every par
ticular. The personnel of the edit
orial and business offices is replete
with newspaper talent, and the ser
vice is decidedly good. The News
is a newspaper in the true sense, and
the make-up is decidedly attractive.
To The News we cordially extend
the right hand of newspaper fellow
ship.
► * -A
Octobfr 27th is named as “Dem
ocratic Field Day.” It is requested
that on that day a democratic meet
ing be held in every city, town and
village in the United States. This
is requested by the democratic na
tional committee, and if carried out
will have great weight. These meet
ings will be addressed by the best
speakers obtainable.
The fact that the republican man
agers will attempt to buy the presi
dential election in all the close
states, is enough to induce all work
ing men to vote against the candi
dates of that party. Nine-tenths of
the voters in all the states are work
ing men.

forceful preacher. On Sunday he
interested a large congregation with
his profound logic and reasoning on
the advent of our Savior.

Little Essie, the sweet four years
old daughter.of Hr. and Mrs. Pless

We would say to the parents, grieve
not. Our Savior said: “Suffer little
children to come unto Me, for of
such is the kingdom of. Heaven.”
She is at rest; another bright angel
has been added to Heaven to walk
the golden streets and sing praises
to our Lord and Master.
Miss Ella Barfield .opened a fall
term of school at Pbwersyille on

and the patrons of the Powersville

to have her the coming spring term.
Onf of the most autocratic things
done by even this autocratic admin
istration has been perpetrated by
the patent office, where Secretary of
the Interior Hitchcock has presumed
to disobey the law and cancel all
copies of a design patent recently
taken out by Wallace Odell of New
York through the Patent office of
E. G. Siggers. This patent is on a
puzzle entitled “Teddy’s Teeth,”
which is on the principle of “Pigs
in Clover,” the object being to roll
certain balls of silver and gold into
hollows in a set of teeth set. promi
nently in a portrait of Gov. Roose
velt.- Mr. Duell thinks that it is an
insult to the Governor. As a matter
of fact it was patented.by the editor
of a republican paper and a warm
friend and supporter of Hr. Roose
velt, by whom it is regarded merely
as a joke.-—Washington Correspond
