Peebt, Thursday, November 15.
Copies of this paper may be found on
file at the office of our Washington cor
respondent, E. G. Siggers, 918 E. Street,
N. W., Washington, D. O.
Say, Charlie, can you see through
the missed?
The American people have given
the republican calf more rope.
We second the motion to organ
ize a southern democratic party.
Hon. W. J. Sameobd, governor-
elect of Alabama, is critically ill.
Thebe is at least one political con
solation in this state, Georgia saved
her Bacon.
What will Teddy do' with his
cowboy attachment after the fourth
of March next?
Beyond all doubt the persuasive
influence of money ’controlled the
late presidential election.
Within-a year 1,073 Americans
and 6,785 insurgents have been kill
ed in the Philippines war.
The south can at least be supreme
in the management of her social af
fairs, and mix matters somewhat in
industrial progress.
Maj. J. F. Hanson, of Macon, is
the Georgia member of the board
of managers of the "American Pro
tective Tariff League.”
Georgia and Louisiana are the
only southern states represented in
the management of the “American
Protective Tariff League.”
Let the south use its full energy
and capacity for material develop
ment, and political defeat will be
overbalanced by industrial success.
Georgia legislators are talking
about a state constitutional conven
tion for next, year. Better wait un
til the tax rate is materially reduced.
Southern democrats desire a po
litical condition wherein they can
get something for the glorious priv
ilege of furnishing all the votes for
the party they represent.
■" '
Perhaps southern democrats would
do well to pool their issues, comer
their political isms and trust their
own judgment, being guided by the
imperial virtue that is with them an
innate principle.
Beorganization of the democratic
party may be in order, but it is de
cidedly out of order for men who
helped defeat the party in the last
election to assume leadership in
such reorganization.
The annual Confederate veterans’
reunion is in progress at Augusta,
and will continue through Friday.
Any who desire to attend can yet
secure tickets ovor the Central rail
road at one cent a mile.
Hereafter the paramount issue
with southern democrats will be to
secure a just return for their patri
otism in upholding the flag and the
constitution. They are tired of do
ing all the voting and bearing all
the ills of defeat.
When John G. Carlisle, Don M.
Dickinson, Abram S. Hewitt, Gro
ver Cleveland and others of that
stripe, voted for the republican can
didates-for president and vice presi
dent against the democratic nomi
nees for the same offices, they for
feited their right to be classed as
democrats. It is adding insult to
injury for them to propose a reor
ganization of the democratic party.
Paramount Pacts.
As to the result of the late presi
dential election, it seems that there
was a prejudice against the south.
Though the candidates are citizens
of western states, the contentions
of the democratic platform were
considered of southern origin, and
defeat followed. If there is any
other more potent cause of demo
cratic defeat, it must be that money
was placed above manhood.
The contention of some that Bry
an was the cause of the defeat is too
abominable to consider. The man
displayed greater courage and per-
severance? than could be placed to
the credit of few others, and the
popular vote was nearly a million
more than the popular vote of 1896,
With the exception of Maryland
and West Virginia, the south re
mained trne to democratic convic
tions, Kentucky being regained by.
the democrats. Nebraska was lost,
leaving only Colorado, Idaho, Mon
tan and Nevada, of the west, in the
democratic column. In New York
the democratic vote was more than
100,000 greater than in 1896, and
there were democratic gains in near
ly all the republican states.
The defeat is positive, and just
now it is futile to attempt to do
more than to accept the situation
and make the best of it.
One thing is cerfain, however,
that there is a load of responsibility
upon certain rn'en who have profited
by democratic emolument for many
years, yet this year gave their coun
sel and their votes to the republican
candidates. These men are desert
ers, pure and simple, and for them
to give' advice now to the democrat
ic party is adding insult to injury,
In effect, so far as democracy is con
cerned, they rank with Benedict Ar
nold.
Later we can take counsel with
friends, displace the errors of policy
and issues, hold strong to principle
and make another fight. But now
the rough edge of disappointment is
on, and it is not in the line of good
judgment to attempt a smoothing
process. Those who fought with us,
and lost with ns, may speak out, but
those who helped defeat us will
withhold their advice, if they have
any sense of decency.
The Electoral Vote.
The result of the presidential
election last week is that McKinley
and Boosevelt will receive 292 elect
oral votes against 155 for Byran
and Stevenson. The republican
candidates receive 68 electoral votes
more than is necessarj to elect.
While the democratic popular
vote was at least half a million more
than in 1896, six states that voted
for Bryan that year changed to Mr.
McKinley this year, a Iosb of 21
electoral votes. The states thus lost
are, Kansas, Nebraska, South Dako-
to, Utah, Washington, Wyoming.
The states giving their electoral
votes to the democratic candidates
this year are, Alabama, Arkansas,
Colorado, Florida, Georgia, Idaho,
Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi,
Missouri, Montana, Nevada, North
Carolina, South Carolina, Tennees-
see, Texas and Virginia.
Kentucky is the only state carried
by the democrats this year that was
in the republican column in 1896.

its Macon correspondent:

to Grovania. Several prominent j ness .^P to Henderson last Sunday
gentlemen from Hawkinsville have 6Yer ™S-
been in Macon recently, and have
discussed the situation as it affects
their town. They stated that at an
early date Hawkinsville will seek a
connection with the Georgia South
ern & Florida Bailway at Grovania,
or with the Southwestern at Perry.
The costliest part of this work, the
grading and securing the right of
way, has already been finished. The
agreement between the city of Haw
kinsville and the Oconee & Western
Bailway Company was that unless
the work of constructing the line to
Grovania was commenced by the. 1st
of this month the title should revert
to Hawkinsville.”'.
We present the above only as a
matter of specific information.

weary in urging Perry to activity

“A dreamy haze flits through the air,
On and on;
The days grow red and still and rare,
Summer is gone!
Gone is the glamor—cold winds howl
- Chill and- forlorn—
And going are our-lives—fair or foul—
The way summer has gone.”
The frosts and freezes of the past
few days have ended the much talk
ed of top crop of cotton. Had sum
mer lasted always the top crop
would not nave amounted to much
here, and now that it has been kill
ed this early, the estimated yield of
a bale to 100 acres will have to be
reduced.
On account of the accommoda
tions and conveniences of the gin
nery at Dennard, about 25 per cent
more cotton will be ginned here this
season than last. The number of
bales made in this section is proba
bly les3 than last year, but consider
able cotton made several miles away
has been ginned here.
I feel safe in saying that there
will be as much small grain planted
here as last season.
Mr. W. B. Snipes has been con
sidering a proposition to take charge

not fully decided, but if he accepts
he will move at once.

There will be a bitter fight over
the new apportionment if any at
tempt is made to reduce southern
representation on the plea that the
negroes have been disfranchised.
Fortunately, it is extremely difficult
to frame a law that will hit the
south without also injuring north
ern states like Massachusetts, which
disfranchises all illiterates. Proba
bly, if it is resolved to attempt to
pass such a law, the woole matter
will be. postponed Until the next
congress, as the new apportionment
will not be used until the election of
1902, though it is desirable to adopt
it as soon as possible, so that the
various legislatures may redistrict
their territory in accordance with
possible changes in the number of
their represen tatives.—Washin gton
