a class of people whose trade is ap

Very great expenditure of money.
Every dollar that he puts out- in.
that way comes back to him and

That judicious advertising pays,
no one doubts. Money spent for

pays because it is judicious adver

Whatever are his wishes or de
sires about the matter it is certain
that there never will be a Repub
lican party in the Sonth as long as
the President persues his present
policy toward southern people.
The appointment of the negro
Loftin as postmaster at Hogans-
ville over the protest of over three
fourths of the people of the com
munity, black and white, shows
what an utter disregard he has for
the southern people’s wishes and
opinions. Also the appointment
of the negro barber, Rucker, as In
ternal Revenue Collector; besides
other numerous as objectionable
appointments in this and many
other southern states.
An effort has been made to ex
tract political capitol out of the
shooting of Loftin, the Hogans-
ville postmaster, but it amounts
to nothing. There is no doubt
that he was shot by one of his own
color, a personal enemy; Not
withstanding the serious opposi
tion of the Hogansville people to
Loftin’s appointment, they would
not seek to get rid of him by
breaking the laws of the country
in an effort to assassinate him.
They are too manly and have too
much self respect for that.
On account of the serious objec
tions many sound money Demo

A large number honestly believed
that the' election of McKinley
would be better for the interests of
the country, than the election of
Bryan. They were only looking
at it one way at that time, or
else they would have remained
true to the party of the people
and voted and worked for the
Democratic nominee, however dis
tasteful that might have been. If
they had considered at that time
that they wonld have had to con
tend with negro federal office
holders as they are now doing, we
believe they would have acted dif
ferently. It is too late, however,
to rectify that wrong and there’s
nothing left but to grin and en
dure it for the next three years.
By the expiration of that time
they will have had enough to last
them for all time, and it can be
put down now that those whose
ardor was cooled by that unfortu
nately constructed piece of politi
cal architecture—the Chicago
platform—will have had their
spirit of resentment so thoroughly
aroused against Republicanism
that they will always be found

BREADWINNERS INCREASING.
The recaift trouble encountered
by a number ot farmers in differ
ent sections in getting hande
enough to harvest their crops
brings to mind some figures rela
tive to the number of breadwin
ners in this country. In 1870
there were 12,505,923- persons en
gaged in supporting themselves
and the remainder of the people ;
that is to say, 32.43 per cent of
the total population were so en
gaged.
In 1880 the number of bread
winners was 17,392,099, or 34.67
per cent, of the total population.
By “breadwinners’ * is meant all
who were engaged ^either as wage
earners or salary receivers or pro
prietors, of whatever grade or de
scription, and alPjIrofessional pe
sons; in fact anyone who was in
any way employed in gainful pur
suit.
Iu speaking of. the matter an
exchange says the figures quoted
show that the proportion of the
betid population thus employ
is constantly increasing. Analy
zing the statistics, we find some
remarkable results, and in general
that the number engaged in the
lowest walks of business, laborers
and the like, iB decreasing in pro
portion, while those employed in
:the higher walks are increasing in
number relatively to the whole
population.
While it is true that there are a
large, number of idle people - in
Georgia, it is gratifying to note
that the number grows less each
year. The time has come when
idle . vagabonds and worthless
loafers will not be countenanced.
THE NEGRO DEGENERATING.
If the* figures compiled by Prin
cipal Keeper Turner of the peni
tentiary are correct the negro, as
a race, is going backward in point
of morality.
The question is becoming a seri-
oub one to not only Georgia but
every southern state, for the rea
son that more negroes inhabit the
South than any other section of
the union. The number of crimes
committed by negroes has been
gradually increasing each year
since emancipation from slavery.
If this record is to be kept up
what must be done?
Already the jails, chaingangs
and penitentiaries are well nigh
filled with them, and it seems that
the philanthropic efforts to edu
cate them and elevate them men
tally and morally has been with
out avail. The question of wliat
is the best disposition for the
State to make of its convicts is
now one of the most puzzling
problems confronting the State’s
authorities.
Only the highest order of states
manship can deal with this great
problem and make a satisfactory
solution of it.
