POTASH STII.I. IN THE HK.\T,
Upon reuding our recent edito
rial exposing the political record
of Potash Farrow as Attorney-
General of the Bullock adminis
tration, he got w rathy to a degree
but little less than that of insani-
ty, and wrote a most bitter reply
in which he denounces the Editor
of the News-Herald in the most
slanderous language capable of be-
ing used by a man of his type of
character. Iu eleven different
places in this article he denounces
him as a “lying scoundrel.” Ho al
so brands him as a lazy, cowardly,
contemptible dog, nasty skunk,
striped hyena, etc.
If the old saying that the “hit
dog always hollows” is true, in our
attack on the political record of
Potash we surely must have hit
the spot somewhere, as there can
be no reason for his bitter denun
ciation of us upon any other
grounds, and to prove that it is
the exposure of his record that
has maddened him rather than
any mistatement that we have
made, we review the charges that
we have made against him, and
his replies to them.
In the editorial in which we
first had occasion to say anything
about Potash,we used these words:
“Henry Potash Farrow, the
Republican postmaster at
Gainesville, chairman of that
party for this Congressional
district, and who made him
self so odious to the white
people of Georgia during the
Bullock regime, is advising
a fusion with the Populist
party at the October election.”
In reply to this editorial, which
was copied by the Gainesville
Eagle, Potash wrote a bitter ar
ticle to the Eagle, denouncing us
most bitterly and demanded proof
of the charges.
In our last editorial we replied
by saying that, “There is no
‘official record’ of the tyranny,
rottenness and corruption that
prevailed at the statecapitol
during this crisis in Georgia’s
history, and Old Pot can
safely defy any oue to “examine
the records and point out” his
objectionable acts.” and then by
asking Potash the following ques
tions :
Did he advise that the millions
of fraudulent bonds issued by Bul
lock’s direction, and which were
afterwards repudiated by the state,
should be “floated ?”
Did he advise Bullock that his
henchmen in the legislature should
turn out the white Democrats,who
had been fairly and houestly elect
ed, and fill their places with igno
rant and corrupt negroes ?
Did he advise Bullock, when the
white people had asserted their
supremacy at the polls, and the
carpet-baggers, scalawags and ne
groes had been driven from the
capitol, that it was a good time to
flee the realm, aud thus avoid the
penalty of outraged law '?
Was he the adviser of Fatty
Harris, when he usurped the place
ot Speaker of the House of Repre
sentatives,violated all parliament
ary rules, aud even refused to en
tertain any motion made by the
Democrats ?
Did he advise Bullock that Fos
ter Blodgett and Hotchkiss, who
stole the whole of the income of
the Western & Atlantic Railroad,
were saints and worthy of all trust
and confidence ?
In his reply to Gainesville
Eagle, he denies every one of these
questions, which he himself says
are charges in an enquiring way,
except the one in which we asked
him if he didn’t advise Bullock
that his henchmen in the legisla
ture should turn out the white
Democrats, who had been fairly
and honestly eieoted, aud fill their
places with ignorant aud corrupt
negroes. In this charge there are
the very reasons why Potash and
his political party have always
been aud are today odious to the
white people of Georgia, and his
failure to deny them in a reply of
about two columns in which he
emphatically denies all the other
questions, is the strongest evi-
deuce of the fact that he was
a party to this most infamous
scheme to defeat justice, and we
repeat that any white man guilty
of such charges is odious to the
white people of this state. If his
denial to the other questions is
the truth, it remains a fact which
he caunot deny that he belonged
to that political party then and
atliliates with the same crowd to-
day, which shows its belief in the
equality of the negroes with the
whites by always giving them an
equal share of the offices at their
distribution in this Btate. Every
delegation from Georgia since the
civil war to the national republi
can conventions has beeu com
posed of about as many negroes
as whites. His party’s con
vention in Georgia always con
sists principally of negroes. Many
of his parly’s county conventions
in this state are largely made up
of negroes. In the good old coun
ty of Gwinnett in the last county
convention held at this place there
were twenty-eight negroes present
with less than half aa many
whites. Some of the best paying
offices in Georgia, better thau the
one Potash holds at Gainesville,
are held by negroes, put there by
the party which Potash not only
endorses by voting that ticket but
by accepting an office at its gift.
Yet Potash gets mad because we
said he was odious to the white
people of Georgia.
As far as Potash’s charges
that there is somebody under
the "kiver” is concerned, and
that we are not the Editor in
fact, the News-llerald is leased to
us and is under our control. We
have been doing the editoiiai work
and are solely responsible for every
thing that is published in its col
umns. •
In our ai tides on Potash it is
not that we have misrepresented
him that has made him mad, but
it’s the truth that is hurting, and
there is no good reason for his
singling out the Editor of the
News-Herald as an object of all
his vituperation, since there are
thousands of the best people of
,the South who have a contempt
for all politicians of his sort.
We do not care for his abuse,
as he is beneath our notice, but
we claim that we have told the
truth on him; and, if that hurts
him, we can’t help it, and there
fore have no apologies to make.
THU NATION'S BACKBONE.
A few dayß since we were going
to a neighboring town by the Sea
board accommodation, and as the
train swept over hill and vale and
through forest and field, we could
not fail to notice that the work
ings of nature as seen iu the world
about us never cease, and that al
though she showers her blessings
upon the world with a prodigal
hand, human agency is necessary
in taking the materials at hand
and bringing about that condition
of affairs best suited to man’s
happiness and development. Thou
shalt earn thy bread in the sweat
of thy face was spoken in the be
ginning of time; and however
much man would like to change
it, the same rule holds good to
day.
On the day spoken of above, we
saw men, women aud children at
work on their farms. They were
at it early in the morning, and,
save an hour at noon, did not
ceuse until the shadows darkened
the landscape. From morn till
night they wore at work. And
why ? Because 70,000,000 people
in America must have food and
clothing. Two more weekß of
rain would have been disastrous.
Crops would have been ruined aud
the people would have suffered.
But when sunshine came, millions
of men rushed to the fields to save
the fast ruining crops. Aud from
these fields come every morsel of
food aud every thread of clothing
that the people get.
The farmer is the backbone of
the nation. The farms are the
smokehouses and barns from which
the nation gets its living. When
the farm goes down and the farm
er fails, then the nation is doomed
to death. That nation is looked
upon with disfavor whose lands
are in the hands of the few while
the great mass of people are ten
ants. That nation is most pros
perous aud that government just
and stable where by honest toil
aud persevering industry a man
can earn property aud be secure
in its possession. That people is
most contented aud happy and
patriotic who own their homes,
who have a place they can call
their own and who can earn a
competency sufficiently great to
satisfy all temporal wants and
enable them to develop all their
forces for good.
Every man ought to try to own
a home. Every farmer ought to
own a farm however small it may
be. He has a right to owr. prop
erty and he certainly would be a
happier man aud a more useful
oitizen. Not only has he a right
to own property, but it is his duty
to use all honorable aud legiti
mate means of securing for him
self aud family a competency and
a home.
The Augusta Chronicle says: A
Marietta woman assured her hus
band that she never told him a lie
and never would. He told her
that he did not doubt it, but here
after he would cut a notcn in the
piano when he kuew she deceived
him. “No you won’t” she secream
ed, “I’m not going to have my
piano ruined.”

DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PLATFORM.
CONTINUED FROM FIRST PAGE,
solute control of all the branches of the national government, to enact
any legislation designed to prevent or even curtaii the absorbing pow
er of trusts and illegal combines, or to enforce the anti-trust laws al
ready on the statute books, prove the insincerity of the high-sounding
phrases of the Republican platform. Corporations should be protect
ed iu all their rights, and their legitimate interests should be respect
ed, but any attempt by corporations to interfere with toe public af
fairs of the people, or to control the sovereignty which creates them,
should be forbidden under such penalties as to make such attempt im
possible.
We condemn the Dingley tariff law as a trust-breeding measure,
skillfully devised to give the few favors which they do not desire, and
place upon the many burdens which they should not bear,
FAVOR ENLARGEMENT OF INTERSTATE COMMERCE LAW.
We favor such an enlargement of the scope of the interstate com
merce law as will enable the commission to protect individuals and
communities from discriminations and the public from imjust and
unfair transportation rates.
FREE AND UNLIMITED COINAGE OF SILVER,
We reaffirm and endorse the principles of the national Democrat
ie platform adopted in Chicago iu 1896, and we reiterate the demand
of that platform for an American financial system, made by the
American people for themselves, which shall restore and maintain a
bimetallic price level, and as part of such system the restoration of
the free aud unlimited coinage of silver and gold at the preseut legal
ratio of 16 to 1, without waiting for the aid or consent of any other
nation.
We denounce the currency bill enacted in the last session of congress
as a step forward in the republican policy which aims to discredit the
sovereign right of the national government to issue all money, wheth
er coin or paper, and to bestow upon naional banks the power to issue
aud control the volume of paper money for their own benefit. A per
manent national bank currency, secured hy government bonds, must
have a permanent debt to rest upon,sod it bank currency is to increase
with population and business, the debt must ulso increase. The Re
publican currency scheme is the ref mm gcheme for fastening u|ion th
taxpuers'a perpetual and bonded debt for the benefit of the banks. We
are opposed to this private corporation paper circulated as money hut
withoiit legal tender qualities, and demand the retirement of the nati
onal tank notes as fust as government paper or sijver certificrtes can
be substiuted for them
ELECTION OF SENATORS BY THE PEOPLE.
We favor an amendment to the federal constitution providing for
the election of United States senators by direct vote of the people,
anti we favor direct legislation wherever practicable.
RECOMMENDS A DEPARTMENT OF LABOR.
Iu the interest of American labor and the uplifting of the working
man as the cornerstone of the prosperity of our country, we recom
mend that congress create a department of labor, in charge of a sec
retary,with a seat in the cabinet; believing that elevation of American
laborers will bring with it increased production aud increased prosp
erity to our country at heme aud to our commerce abroad.

of him:
“Governor Thomas,” said Mr. Wit

place, a mile below Walden, in a
dobule-pen log house, and I have
slept with him many a night when
we were boys together. He was a
very smart boy in school, but one
of the most mischievous in the
neighborhood. Prof. Ryder used
to whip him him right often for
his mischief in the school room,
the same old room we are now
using as a music room at Walden
high school, and Thomas got to
bringing an extra coat along with
him to put on when he was look
ing for a whipping. One day Prof
Ryder caught him ataome misch

and while his back was turned, be

that the whole school and teacher
