A WHITE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY.
As the next session of the Su
perior court will soon be here, and
as candidates for the different
county offices will begin to make
announcements about then, it is
not an inopportune time to have
something to say about the next
Democratic primary.
We are in favor of a white Dem
ocratic primary. The negroes of
this county have never sought
office for any of their race; and,
therefore, are not interested in a
contest among the whites as to
who shall be the respective candi
dates in the Democratic party.
There are some who favor a
white primary, leaving the word
Democratic out, and allowing
every white voter in the county
the right to participate in the
election. The main objection to
this plan is that, if the Populists
should put into this kind of a
race only one candidate for each
office, their candidates would
have a go< d chance of election, as
the Democrats are sure to have
more than one applicant for each
office. We do not mean to infer
that the Democrats are more
anxious to get office than the
Populists, but that the Populists
could have s mass meeting here
at the court heuse and pot oat
their candidatus. as thev have j
always aominuned them hereto-!
fore, and have an advantage over
the Democrats.
In a white Democratic primary,
the opportunities will be greatly
lessened for purchasing votes,
using liquor, and practicing de
ception, and the people of this
county are entitled to demand
some reforms along these lines.
A saloon is bad. A candidate,
that buys votes aud uses liquor in
elections, is much more dangerous,
because be is held in high esteem
by many as being a great politi
cian. The purchasing of votes
and the use of liquor in the Dem
ocratic primary two years ago, is
still the talk of the people all
over this county, and, if the same
things are to be repeated again
this year, there will be a still
greater dissatisfaction.
Let the Executive Committee
of the Demoratic party declare
that any candidate, who ehall use
money or liquor in the next Dem
ocratic primary, and the same can
be satisfactorily proven to the
Committee.sball become ineligible
as a nominee of the Democratic
party, and that the person re
ceiving the next highest vote shall
become the nominee in his stead.
There are many poor people in
the county who would like to
offer themselves for office, but as
long as money and liquor are
used, only those who have money
to spend will hold the offices.
Of course, there are many good
men in politics in this county
that never use liquor or money,
but we want the time to come
when every candidate will be a
good, pure man.
We have talked with quite a
number of the probable candidates
in the next primary, and they all
favor these reforms.
. That these changes would be
- proper and right cannot be de
nied, and we urge upon every
member of thiExecutive Commit
tee to stand by what he conceives
to be the right, regardless of
whose interest it may favor or
injure.
Alexander Stephens said that
he feared nothing on earth nor
above earth except to do wrong.
Col. Shackelford Withdraws From the
Solicitor’s Race.
Col. Thos. J. Shackelford will
not b« a candidate for Solicitor
General of the Western circuit
against Col. C. H. Brand, and the
latter now has a clear field, and
no doubt will be unanimously re
elected. Col. Shackelford came
to this conclusion after consulting
many of his warm friends in
He having been reared
in thi* county, desired the unani
mous support of the people here,
but after investigation found that
a great mapy men had pledged
themselves to support Col. Brand,
as h» has made a most excellent
officer, and the people think his
record should be endorsed. Col.
Shackelford could not afford to
enter the contest and make a hard
fight to carry his native county.
Many kind and complimentary
things have been said to and of
Col. Shackelford, not only by the
people of Jackson, but all over
the circuit, and he has a bright
future before him. —Jackson Her

SUB TBIP TO 'WASHINGTON.
In giving this mention of a trip
to the National C»pit"!, I dose re
alizing that such is not met with
the same approbation as a few
years ago. Inventions aud gener
al improvements have been so nu
merous for the past few years that
the world at large seems to have
put on a neighborly feeling. Ten
years ago the average man would
speak of a crip to Washington as
we dow speak of a visit to Paris.
Since Oeorgia has grown into a
conversational distance with Ne»
York, and since distances are cov
ered in a day that but a few years
past required weeks, we don’t seem
away from home anywhere.
Having such a short stay in the
great city one can hardly be ex
pected to give an account of the
sights such as would be of interest
to one who has bad occasion to ob
serve them more closely.
To see those beautiful structuies
it takes but a few hours of the
courtesies of the Seaboard Air Line
and you are there. A more desira
ble trip can hardly be imagined
than tbe Seaboard to Norfolk,
thence by steam to Washington.
The most hooie-like feeling during
our trip was t<> hear the Seaboard
train called out as she pushed
hack under the shed preparatory
to leaving for Atlanta. That this
great system is fast becomiug the
trunk line of the South, you have
only to notice her almost daily
new-made connections
On reaching Washington you are
at once impressed with the decency
of the place, which is greatly en
hanced by the broad and cleanly
kept streets, as well as side walks.
Possibly the greatest structure
to be seen there is the National
Library of Congress. To speak of
it as a Library of Congress, can
mean nothing more than a pleas
ant remembrance of Congress, for
it is a library of the entire Ameri
can people, serving the entire na
tion. The greatness of the build
ing can be best appreciated from
the amount of material used in its
construction : 409,000 cubic feet
of granite, 500,000 enameled brick,
22,000,000 rod brick, 8,800 tons of
steel slid iron and 78,000 barrels
of cement. Exclusive of the cel
lar, the total floor space is 826,195
square feet, or nearly eight acres.
There are near 25,000 windows in
the building, the entire cost aggre
gating near $6,860,000. To speak
briefly of tbe grandeur of this won
derful structure is to say that tbe
greatest of human skill is display
ed throughout. The interior dec
orations are snpberb, and quite
natural, my wife preferred spend
ing all the time possible viewing
the lovely paintings,
The next of Uncle Sam’s affairs
might properly be classed as the
Engraving building. Here yon see
the beginning of money making.
The accuracy of the procedure is
nothing less than the result of im
provement for many years. The
notes pass 52 hands, carefully
counted each time. They are fin
ished here, save what is called the
finishing stamp, which is put on
at the Treasury building. We had
the opportunity of seeing one $6,-
000,000 package.
The Treasury building is by no
means a small structure when cash
is at stake. 152,000,000 silver dol
lars in first and second vaults, gold
coin 3,055,000, total weight of coin
5,000 tons. Silver vault, 89 feet
long, 51 feet, wide and 12 feet high.
Here you see the maceration of old
hills, which become as new col
ored saw dust in appearance and
is used in making souvenirs.
Tho Capitol, Executive Mansion,
Washington Monument. War and
Navy Departments, Patent Office,
Pension Bureau, Post Office De
partment and Agricultural Build
ing are just as yon would expect.
We had the pleasure of sseing
Congress aud the Senate in ses
sion.
The trip to Mt. Vernon (Wash
ton’s home) was very pleasant.
Many war relics are there to bear
testimony to his life as a war gen
eral. His favorite sword is hand
somely cased on the wall of the
room where he died. His old war
trunk lies on the floor, shaped
somewhat like a pillow, and no
doubt has been often used by him
as such. lu the Library Building
you see a large sized painting
showing him on his knees at pray
er before the battle at Valley
Forge. His clothing can be seen
at the National Museum; also
Lincoln’s suit that he wore the
night he was shot.
Lee’s house presents a lovely
•oene from Washington’s monu
ment. The great old General’*
tenderness of heart is best shown
'by the luxuries provided for his
family at home.
Columns could be filled with the
many sights in and around Wash
ington. Yet you can’t appreciate
it except to see it.
To speak further of the great
General you might mention the
great monument dedicated to his
memory. It i* feet in height,
and takes 16 minutes to go by eis-
“Keep to Your Plxce and
Your Place ’will Keep You.' ’

vator to the top. As suggested by
Jim Gouge, there might be some
who could appropriately sing
“Nearer my God, to Thee” while
looking from the top.
I would consider this letter
wholly incomplete were I not to
mention tha courtesies shown us
by Congressmsn Tate while there
He met us at the boat, and was
specially kind to us during our en
tire stay. This was my first op
portunity to know Mr. Tate as he
really is, and the best description
of his nobleness is that his friends
get the best at bis bands on all
occasions. Mr, Tate’s ability can
be best appreciated to know of the
recognition he receives from his
fellow Representatives During
our stay there he filed a most im
portant report directing the ex
penditures of a large sum of mon
ey for the Navy Department, and
it was passed without one ques
tion. Seemingly for him to vouch
for its correctness was due satis
faction for all concerned. I was
very much amused to find that he
remembers even the Christian
names of so inauy people in this
section,and almost came to the con
elusion that he had lived as a
neighbor to most people in this
oounty. J. A. Perry.

QUESTION ANSWERED.
Yes, August Flower still has the
largest sale of any medicine in’the
civilized world. Your mothers
and graudmothers never thought
of using anything else for Indiges
tion or Billiousness. Doctors were
scarce, and they seldsm heard of
Appendecitiß, Nervous Prostration
or Heart Failure, etc. They used
August Flowei to clean out the
system and Btop fermentation of
undigested food, regulate the ac
tion of the liver, stimulate the
nervous and organic action of the
system, and that is all they took
when feeling dull and bad with
headaches and other aches. You
only need a few doses of Green’s
August Flower, in liquid form, to
make you satisfied there is noth
ing serious the matter with you.

The Fighting Ancestry of the Boers,
BY REV. J. C. WILLIAMS.
The Boers are descended from the
Dutch of Holland and the Huguenots
of France, who have a fighting record
from the days of Julios Caesar. The
Batavians were among the first tribes
inhabiting Holland, and for many
years, with Claudius Civilis, rebelled
against Rome and held that great
world power at bay, yielding only in
the end to superior force and inex
haustible resources. When imperial
Rome was finally dissolved these fear
less people, with the Frisians and
other Teutonic tribes, governed them
selves till Charlemagne waged war on
them, and so persistent were they that,
he was compelled to be content with a
weak suzerainty, and allowed them
self-government and freedom as “long
as the wind should blow.”
Then there were oonstant wars with
Frank and German kings, who all
found these people unconquerable and
ready to die for their liberty. For
some time they were subdued by Spain,
the then greatest nation in the world;
but in the sixteenth century they re
belled—the smallest nation in the
world against the largest—and, in
spired by religious motives, began
that memorable struggle for freedom
which lasted eighty years, when in
dependence was achieved and the
backbone of Spain broken.
It was during this war that William
the Silent, the great Christian states
man and the father of the Dutch Re
public, renounced his allegiance to
Spain and the Romish Church, de
clined the offer of the command of the
Spanish army, and, Muses-like, es
poused the cause of the feeble, strug
gling butch. His sublime faith in
God, patriotism and love for liberty
but reflected the character of the peo
ple who sustained and followed him,
and whose faitli and powers of endur
ance were illustrated in the seige of
Leyden. After the food supplies were
exhausted, leaves were eaten from the
trees, and finally cats and dogs be
came the bill of fare. The Spaniards
called them “cat and dog eaters,” and
they defiantly replied: “As long as
you hear the mew of a cat or the bark
of a dog you may know that the city
holds out. And when all has perished
but ourselves, we will devour our left
arms, retaining our right to defend
our women, our liberty, and our re
ligion against the foreign tyrant.
When the last hour has come, with our
own hands we will set fire to the city
and perish, men, women and children
together in the flames, rather than
suffer our homes to be polluted and our
liberties crushed.”
This spirit of undying devotion to
liberty lives in the Boers today, and
Gen. Joubert voiced the opinion of
them all when he recently said to the
English Secretary: “You may take
our land, but it will be over our dead
bodies and the ash heaps of our homes.”
With such illustrious kindred as the
Prince of Orange, Van der Werf, Boiset
and William the Third of England,
among the Dutch; and Admiral Col
igny and the Prince of Conde, of the
Huguenots, and a large portion of
that spirit abiding in them that en
dured thevhorrors of Haarlem, Leyden
and St. Bartholomew, it is no wonder
that this little band is ready to oppose
to Great Britain to the bitter eud.
Their ancestors have been accustomed
to fight the greatest nations in the
world —Rome, Germany and Spaiu—
and in the long, bloody conflict against
civil and ecclesiastical tyranny, there
was scarcely a great battle but what
they were found among the bravest,
fighting for freedom. STaseby, Lutzen,
The Boyne, Bunker Hill, and York
town, owed much to their heroism and
unfaltering trust in God. Wliilp they
helped in these decisive battles, they
have not been aided in their own
struggles, and have invariably been
left to their own right arms and the
God of battles. But they are never
dismayed. As William the Silent said
when no nation would help them
against Spain : “We do not lose cour
age, but hope that, although abandon
ed by all ttie world, the Lord God will
extend his right hand over us ”
The Boers, unable to get foreign aid
or arbitration, have put their cause in
the hands of God, gone forth to fight,
and will sell their liberty at a very
dear price. They are true Calvinists
like their ancestors, believe in a spe
cial providence, and history teaches
that such people are unconquerable,—
