All Can Come In.
All the talk about reorganizing the
democratic party just now amounts
to nothing, because it is by no
means certain that there is any need
of reorganization. Of course there
will be a sort of reorganization when
the next campaign is reached, but
the democratic people will attend to
that through their chosen represent-
Perry, Thursday, November 22. [atives.
- — .. —, - ■ . . ,: ; ' | There is one thing certain,-howev
er, that whatever may be done on
this line, men who were largely in
strumental in causing the late de
feat will not be accepted as leaders
of the party.
The Macon Telegraph seems to be
unnecessarily solicitous concerning
the future make-up of the party,and
inquires:
Speaking of reorganization of the
democratic party, if such men as Cleve
land, Carlisle, Morton, Fairchild, Whit
ney, Dickinson and Hewitt are tc be
kept out because they did not vote fbr
Bryan, are Boutwell, Schurz, Web Da
vis, Towns and Wellington to have
hand in it because they did support
him?”
There is eminent democratic au
thority for the declaration that the
service of no man will be refused,
who is willing to accept and advo
cate the democratic creed as enun
ciated in a legally constituted con
vention of democratic delegates,
The men first named in the quo
ted paragraph will not be refused
membership,- but "they must bring
forth fruits meet for repentance”
before they can be accepted as lead
ers of democracy. Whatever they
enjoy of political distinction is due
directly to favors shown them by
the democratic party. More than
one of them, perhaps, have been -
raised from financial and political
obscurity to affluence. Yet at the
first difference of opinion they have
deserted to the enemy and seriously
wounded the hand that warmed
them into life. They have condemn
ed republicanism continuously and
with strong language, all the whjle
lauding democracy. But the dollar
became their god; they feared the
democratic currency policy might
lose them money. In all else save
the money contention, they contin
ued to condemn republicanism and
to commend democracy. Yet be
cause of this one difference, they
helped bring about the defeat of
democracy, and joined with Hanna
and his cohorts in placing money
above manhood. Certainly they will
not be accepted as leaders of dem
ocracy in the next campaign.
As to the other gentlemen named,
they assisted the democrats, though
differing on some - policies, in the
last campaign because they believed
that the integrity of this country, as
shaped by the constitution, would
be'endangered by the continuance
in power of the republican party.
They do not seek leadership of the
democratic party, but their assist
ance is thankfully received,and their
continued active association with
the party will be cordially accepted.
They have too much sense to ask
for leadership in the republican par
ty.
The assistance of all honest men
is acceptable, but the leaders of the
party will be selected by the demo
crats who fought and lost, and are
determined to fight and win.

Certainly there is need for a system

Census figures show that the in

counties of Georgia has -been very
much greater within the last ten

It is said President McKinley will

Hunt—Andrews.
On last Thursday afternoon at 4
o’clock Mr. Jeff M. Hunt of Heard
and Miss Josie Andrews of Ro
berta were united in marriage at
the home of the bride’s uncle, Mr.
J. S. Sanderfur, Rev. Isaiah Grant
performing the ceremony in his usu
al impressive style.
The elegant parlor of the spacious
residence was thrown open to hospi
tality, and after the ceremony, con
gratulations-were shbwered upon the
happy pair by the large number of
relatives and friends that had con
gregated. ~ '
The bride was one of the fairest
daughters of Roberta, possessing all
the qualities necessary to make np a
gentle, hospitable woman, and Mr.
Hunt is fortunate in winning her as
his helpmate. She numbers friends
by the score, who regretted to see
her leave her old Kome.
The groom is the second son of
Mr. J. B. Hunt, a sturdy, upright,
thorough-going young man, of a
gentlemanly, disposition. He - is
successful young farmer, and will
doubtless succeed in life.
The presents were numerous, use
ful and beautifnl; the decorations
were very suitable for the occasion
The bride and groom returned to
the home of the groom’s father the
next day, and will remain there un
til Mr. Hunt can complete the neat
little cottage already near comple
tion, after which they will embark
into the duties of life.
We wish for the happy couple a
long and pleasant life—just enough
clonds to make the sunshine pleas
ant. - Plow Boy.

BY THE JUDGE.
That the Georgia legislature is a
necessary evil needs no- better proof
than the two bills now before it
which purport to be in the interest
of child labor in factories. In my
opinion this is very dangerous leg
islation, and if enacted would be
very hurtful to the class it seeks to
benefit Just as well try to legislate
money into the widow’s pocket as to
say how she shall make an honora
ble support for herself and children.
There are thousands of widows and
orphans in Georgia making a sup
port in factories, that but for this
employment would be a charge up
on the counties in which they live.
These laws propose compulsory ed
ucation, which applies to factory
children only. I wonder if these
wiseacres propose to feed the family
while they attend school-. I was
born poor and have held my own
very well, but I am opposed to any
legislation that would force me to
steal when I could get work enough
to support me.
