THE ELECTION OF STATE SENATORS.
In the Twenty-second senatorial
district, composing the counties of
Bibb, Monroe aud Pike, it has been
decided by the senatorial commit
lee that the voters of all the coun
ties shall be allowed to participate
in voting for state senator in the
coming primary, provided that no
candidate be voted for unless he
is a resident from Bibb county, it
being Bibb’s time to furnish the
Sonator.
This movement is in the right
direction, and should bo adopted
in our senatorial district. We are
sure to have at least three candi
dates for this honor from our coun
ty, it being Gwinnett’s time to
furnish the senator. Why not let
DeKalb and Henry vote as to
which one of the candidates shaii
represent the Thirty-fourth dis
trict in the next senate ?
As a state senator represents
three counties, why not let him be
the choice of the majority of the
Democrats of the district instead
of a majority of those of one coun
ty r
Two years ago the people of this
1 county were deeply interested in
the selection of a senator that
would support Judge Hutchins for
re-election, and we are sura that
no man could have carried Gwin
nett unless it had been positively
known that he would vote for him ;
yet, because it was DeKalb’s time
to name the senator, we were foifced
to accept Mr. Morrison, although
he voted against Judge Hutchins.
Over in Henry county, the Pro
hibition question is being agitated,
and the people are anxious for an
opportunity to vote for a senator
that would represent their senti
ments, but as it is Gwinnett’s time
to elect the senator, Henry’s wish
es on Prohibition or anything else
will not be considered. According
to the ruling of our executive com
mittee in this connty, if the ma
jority vote in the next general
election shall declare for State
Prohibition, our senator will be
honorably bound to support that
measure, regardless of what De-
Kalb or Henry may have to say.
The object of the constitution
ofGeorgia in providing for the state
senate is to have men elected from
larger districts than the counties,
and therefore men of more ability
than those in the house of repre
sentatives But by the present
plan of electing senators, the whole
senatorial district has but little
to do with the election, as the sen
ators aro elected by the counties
where they live. Of course all the
counties participate in the general
election, but the primary in Geor
gia affords the real field of contest,
and it is here where the reform
must be made.
This plan of electing senators is
a very unjust one, and there is no
argument in its favor. Then let
our senatorial committee provide
an election as in the Twenty-sec
ond senatorial district.
KKTCRNINC TO THE FOLD.
ropullaU of Washington County Will
Vote In White Primaries.
Sandersville, Ga., April 16.
The Populist executive committee
of Washington county met here
Saturday.
Resolutions were passed to the
effect that no Populist ticket
should be put out, but that oil
Populists be requested and are at
liberty to enter the white or Dem
ocratic primary and vote for meu
whom they may seem best fitted
for the places to be filled.
It means the practical dissolu
tion of the party in the county
and a return of those who strayed
from Democratic ranks. The good
people hail this with delight, and
hope for harmonious action of all
white people in a common inter
est. It will mean the end of what
has seemed a ceaseless strife for a
number of years in one of the
worst political fields in the fa
mous “bloody Tenth” district.
In Major Black’s first race
against Colonel Thomas E. Wat
son this county gave Mr. Watson
nearly eight hundred majority.
Democrats have been victorious,
though, m nearly every contest
since then.—Journal.
STATK l'KOllI ItITION.
For the sake of fairness will you
allow me space in your columns
for a word concerning your edito
rial, in the issue of March 80th,
on “Prohibition vs. Local Option?”
You copy from the Atlanta
Constitution of Sept. 10, 1800,
what purports to be Bishop Hay
good’s views on prohibition, “cer
tified to” by a distinguished Geor
gian who might have known his
views better than represented.
Bishop Haygood was then dead,
and could not protest against such
misuse of his statements; but
friends of the family, sympathiz
ing with them in the humiliatiou
they felt at such garbling of his
views, did correct them as far as
possible.
As to Bishop Caddler, he is
alive, and “of age—ask him ” As
soon as 1 read your editorial I sent
it to the Bishop aud asked him to
furnish me with any statement he
might choose to make, that I could
use to help the cause of State pro
hibition. I furnish you a copy
for publication. Let me say, too,
that this letter embodies the real
truth of the views of Bishop Hay
good, and am quite sure those of
Bro. Bigham as well. All these
honored men, with multitudes
more of all denominations and all
political parties, believe in prohi
bition legislation in the form of
local option, State law, or in any
form whatever that secures even a
a measure of peace and happiness
The truth is, gentlemen, the
point in the quotations you use,
even as they appear, only mean
that as this is a moral question it
must not be limited to the manip
ulations of any political party, of
whatsoever name it may be. Po
litical parties and whisky riugs
are not proper guides for the peo
ple on moral questions.
But let Bishop Candler speak.
He speaks the sentiments, too, of
the very best element of voters iu
Georgia.
Because a wrong impression wijl
go out and do a great cause harm,
as well as put good men in a wrong
light before the public, I respect
fully ask the publication of this
article.
Yours very truly,
J. T, Eaxes,
Sargeat, April 10th.
Washington, D. C.,April 6,1900,
Rev. J. T. Eakks, Sargent,Ga.
—My Dear Tillman : I am iu
favor of Slate prohibition, and
also, when that caunot be had, in
favor of local option. As it now
is, the option,of the wet counties
to be wet destroys the option of
the dry counties to be dry. A few
wet counties in Georgia defeat the
will of nine-tenthe of the intelli
gent people of the State. The
whiskey ring, by virtue of the ve
nal vote in the wet counties, is
doing what the carpet-baggers and
scalawags did just after the war,
viz: potting the intelligence and
virtue of the State under the do
minion of ignorance aud vice.
As to the quotation to which
you draw my attention, it is a per
version of what I said. 1 simply
said lam opposed to involving
prohibition in party politics. But
the demand for State prohibiticn
is no more a party issue than local
option. And because I am against
involving the cause of prohibition
in party politics is no ground for
saying that I am opposed to State
prohibition. Men who try to in
ject that meaning into my words
are evidently more concerned to
have me mean what they desire
than to find what I really mean.
I am Yours truly,
—Ex. W. A. Candler.

Dead Body Found in the Chattahoochee
Jones’ Ferry, Ga., March 16.
Editors News-Herald- —There have
been so many rumors afloat, all exag
erated, In regard to the dead man found
in the river at this place,that I thought
it proper to write the facts, and request
that you publish them.
My son, Reps, who lives on the north
side of the river, in Milton county,
while at the ferry on last Thursday,
noticed something lodged among some
brush not far from the bank that ex
cited his imagination. He went to it
and found it to be a dead man floating
on the water. He called to his brother
and two other men near by, and after
deliberating the matter they decided to
secure the body and send word to the
Coroner,which they did. He camewith
his bailiff and jury immediately, and
held an inquest over the body. They
removed the body from the river ami
stripped it. It was not decomposed,
but very much swollen,so much so that
the features of the face were greatly
distorted. His neck was broken and a
rope still looped around the same. The
feet were secured together with a cord.
A stout pine pole was bound to him
from his head to his feet. A large
stone was fastened to him on his breast
and smaller ones stuffed in his pants.
His hands and arms were left free.
The hair on his head had slipped off.
He had only a few upper teeth, and the
lower teeth were worn considerably,
showing that he was in middle life, or
older. He was between 5 feet 7or 8
Inches in hight, had on pretty good
clothing, coat of a blueish cast, cotton
shirt and blue overalls. A pint flask
was in one of his hip pockets with a
small amount of whisky still in it; he
also had a pocket knife and 20cin mon
and a piece of paper, but no writing
could be detected. The jury was di
vided, but the majority of them de
cided that he was a negro. The ver
dict of the jury was that the deceased
had met a violent death by some party
or parties unknown, he being also un
known. It is the opinion of all who
saw him, with few exceptions, and
there was a large crowd present, that
he was a negro, and by all that be had
been hung by a mob, prepared as de
scribed and thrown into the river some
where above this place, and that be
had been in water perhaps five or six
weeks. • Geo. H. Jones.
City School Debating ,Clnb.
The club met last Friday afternoon
at the usual hour, and transacted much
important business, some of which
was electing new officers for another
month. They unanimously re-elected
Mr. Tyler Peeples for President for an
other month. The club has been so
well pleased with Mr. Peeples' work,
that they would hardly give him up
for any one they know of. He is doing
noble work with the help of the other
faithful officers. The Secretary for
another month will be Paul Green.
They also had some very good de
bating on a very wide subject, it was:
“Resolved, That idleness should be for
bidden, and work provided by the
state for all who cannot secure it for
themselves.” The affirmative side con
sisted of Fred Peeples and John Hous
ton . The negative of Tyler Peeples,
and Paul Green,
The judges decided this subject in
favor of the affirmative side. Some
very broad ideas were expressed on
this subject by both sides. The other
subject was, “Resolved, That the negro
should be carried out of the United
States.” Mr. Oliver for the affirma
tive, Mr. Mackin for the negative. The
judges decided for the negative.
There were six applications for mem
bership at the last meeting, and all
were received. This Club’s aim is to
help the young men, or rather to de
velop them more thoroughly for the
stage. It is doing very good at pres
ent and we hope to do better
