Witham has recently es tablished three new banks in this state. The Harmony Grove Cotton Mills have declared a dividend of 20 per cent. Baltimore owns its water works, and is now spending $1,860,000 on an electric plant for lighting the city. Bob Taylor has recently closed a lecture tour in the west, and it is said he cleared SBO,OOO above expenses. The British losses in Africa from June sth to July 6th were over 8,000. It will thus be seen that the war is not over. Among the many advertisements in a recent newspaper headed "Boys Wanted,” seven closed with the words, ‘‘No cigarette smokers need apply.” A statue of Washington, a gift of American women, and one of LaFayette, a gift of American Bchool children, were unveiled in Paris a few days ago. Rev. T. W. O’Kelley, D. D., pastor ofWest End Baptist church, Atlanta, will be married to a young lady in Albany on the 81st instant. It is said that the vertical sys tem of writing is to be abolished in the north. If so, and some other bright genius has a new sys tem, then of course the south will rush pell mell to get it. The Primitive Baptists claim that if the other Christian denom inations had followed their teach ings in regard to foreign missions, the present trouble with China would have been avoided. David B. Hill, of New York, is planning to be Democratic candi date for president four years hence, and, in the event that Bryan fails to be elected, his chances are pret ty good for success in his under taking. The city fathers in Chicago have passed an ordinance looking to the prevention of unnecessary noise in the city. This is to be done by having smooth pavements, requiring dogs and cats to refrain jrom boisterous midnight per formances, and giving a dungeon to all those who persist in spend ing their money in riotous living. Mr. Charles Hampton, of Mich igan, read the Declaration of In dependence at the recent Demo cratic convention. One day at his home he had a few friends in his room to hear a rehearsal, and when he had finished, his father in-law led the applause and then said: “Gol durn it, Charlie, Ido believe that’s the best piece you ever writ. Let’s have it printed in the papers!” AM HONORABLI CAMPAIGN. The candidates for the various offices in this county are conduct ing the most honorable campaign ever known in the history of the county. It is a common remark that not a single cs.ndidate haß been heard to speak disrespectful ly about his opponent. Let this honesty and fairness in dealing with each other be kept up till primary is over, and all the oppo sition to the nominees that may be stirred up won’t amount to a farthing. Every candidate is pleading his cause in an honorable and gentle manly way; and, if this method is continued till the end of the campaign there will be no wounds to heal, and an overwhelming suc cess of the democratic party in the general election will be in sured .

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.” HOW’S THIS ?

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. CONTINUED NEXT WEEK. ROBBED THE GRAVE. A startling incident, of wihch Mr. John Oliver of Philadelphia, was the subject, is narrated by him as follows: “I was in a most dreadful condition. My skin was almost yellow, eyes sunken, tongue coated, pain continually in back and sides, no appetite—gradually growing weaker day by dav. Three physicians had given me up. For tunate, a friend advised trying ‘Electric Bitters;’ and to my great jov aud surprise, the first bottle made a decided improvement I continued their use for three weeks and am now a well mau. I know they saved my life, aud robbed the grave of another victim.” No one should fail to try them. Only 50 cts. guaranteed, at A. M. Winn A Son’s Drug Store. The Bainbridge Democrat savs : There is hardly a doubt but that the Hon. Ed. Wright, who will represent Dougherty county in the next legislature, will intro duce a bill to amend the constitu tion, so as to provide for the nom ination of judge and solicitors of the circuit courts by the governor subject to confirmation by the seuate, will receive very strong suppot from many section of the state A THOUSAND TONGUES Could not express the rapture of Annie E. Springer, of 1125 Howard at., Philadelphia, Pa., when she found that Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption had completely cured her of a hacking cough that for many years had made life a burden. All other remedies and doctors could give her no help, but she says of this Royal Cure —“it soon removed the pain in my chest and I can now sleep soundly, something I can scarcely remember doing before. 1 feel like sotiud,iug its praises thro’ out the Universe.” So will every one who tdfies Dr. King’s New Dis covery for any trouble of the Throat, Chest or Lungs. Price 50 cents aud SI.OO. Trial bottles free at A. M. Winn & Son’s Drug Store; every bottle guaranteed. Columbus Ledger: A farmer living a few miles of Columbus never comes iu town without bring iug a wagon load of something raised on his farm to offer for sale. Ham, lard, sausage, egg, butter, honey, wines and various other articles ure brought in by him,and he never carries anything that he bring for sale sale back home with him. He sills out at good pride. This farmer is both pros perous and happy. It is this kind of farming that can be mado to pay best iu Georgia.

Thomas, of Col orado, temporary chairman of the recent national Democratic con vention, is a native of Georgia. Mr. J. B.

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 ief aud turned to gelf/his switch, and while his back was turned, be grabbed bis coat and in trying to get it on it got hitched somehow on his clothing and the professor caught him iu that predcament, with his arms stretcheh over bis bead, unable to get his coatou or off. The incident was so funny that the whole school and teacher broke into a laugh, and Thomas missed tbp whipping.” Ordinary’s Notices.
