LAWRENCEVILLE, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER. 19,1897. Tom Watson’s Wrath. He Scores Populist Leaders For Proving False. Says tbe Anti-Barroom Bill Was Killed By Populists—lts Sup posed Friends. Hon. Thos. E. Watson, the bril liant leader of the populist party, is becoming utterly disgusted with his political associates. In the last issue of Lis People’s Party Paper he pours hot shot in to his own camp in this sort of style: “The anti-barroom bill iB dead, and populist senators killed it. “Many thousands of Georgians will rejoice at the news—many other thousands will not rejoice. “Many an agent of the whisky trust will jubilate —many a toper, toddy-mixer, whisky seller, bum, deadbeat and debaucher. Along the corridors of gilded ‘clubs’ where elegant sin coddles itself; in the glare and gaudy splendor of many a ‘saloon’ much elation will take its way. A cheerful growl will be heard throughout the lairs of blind tigerdom. “In other places the pleasure will not be so pronounced—not many wives of weak husbands will make merry over the death of the anti-barroom bill —not many mothers of erring sons. Few will be the smiles upon the pnle, sad faces of those thousands of noble women who discover too late that they must live with sots being sworn to love, honor and obey. Not overly noisy will be the rejoicing of the fathers and mothers of Georgia who stagger under the curse of sons given to drink and daughters given to drunkards. “Had it pleased heaven to make some other party responsible for tbe triumph of whiskey in Geor gia we could have borne it better. “But the plain truth must be told —shall be told! —the populist senators are responsible. By a vote of 18 to 28 the measure was defeated. Three populist senators voted against it. Had they voted the other way the count would have stood 21 to 20 —and whisky would not have won. “Why are the three populist senators more responsible than the twenty democrats who voted against the bill ? “Because the people’s party of Georgia had deliberately incor porated in its state platform a distinctive demand for prohibi tion. “This was first done unanimous ly, when the executive committee met in 1895 and recommended a platform to the convention . The convention indorsed the recom mended platform. In 1896 Sea born Wright was nominated by our party and he accepted as much because of that anti-barroom plank as anything else. “Senator Yancey Carter was chairman of the platform com mittee and enthusiastically sup ported Wright for the nomina tion. “Senator Strother, of the dis trict in which we live, pledged himself during his canvass, posi tively and unconditionally, to support the anti-barroom bill. Without that pledge ho could not have been elected, for every popu list county of his district is a ‘dry’ county. “What Senator Golden’s atti tude haß been heretofore we do not know ; we only know him a« the representative of a party which repeatedly and solem.ily pledged itself to support the anti-barroom bill. “During the campaign of 1896 the democrats taunted us with the charge of insincerity. They said we were not, in favor of the anti-barroom bill, but only used it as a vote-catcher. “It seems that the accusation was true. We did not so believe at the time and we denied it. We hereby apologize. We should have confessed that we were hypo crites and were seeking to get good; upon false pretenses. “Hereafter let us not abuse democrats or republicans for vio lating campaign contracts. Let us keep our mouths shut about broken pledges and unredeemed promises. “We Georgia populists have moved into a glass house, and we must never again fling any stones.” The Greatest Di-covery Yet W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, 111., “Chief” says; “We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Dis covery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. John Swat’s Call. “John Swat, of Brazos county, Texas, took up the notion all of a sudden one day that he was going to.be a preacher, an’ he confided this intention to a getherin’ of his friends. Somebody asked him what denomination he expected to do the pulpit act for. John said lie hadn’t really thought of that, but he wasn’t particular; said he would sorer like to leave it to his friends what special sect he should tackle. What he wanted to do, he said, was to preach, an’ it made no earthly difference to him who be preached to. An old fellow named Goza Wilson said that there was already a Methodis’ an’ oneortwo kinds of Baptis’ preachers in Bra zos county, but ther wasn’t no Pres byterian an’ Gasa called attention to the fact that a good many Pres byterians had moved down into Brazos lately from up north, so he thought John had better hang out his shingle as a preacher of that denomination. John said that suited him first rate. So they put a notice in the weekly paper that the Rev. John Swatt would preach to the Presbyterians of Brazos county at Slump Hollow on the Sunday two weeks followin’. “John was a pretty furseen’ kiud of a feller, so he goes to old Gasa Wilson an’ says: ‘Gam, I reckon I’ve got to git some one to fix up that sermon I’m goin’ to preach up there at Slump Hollow. To tell you the truth, I don’t know nuthin’ about no Presbyterian business.’ Gasa said he’d fix that all right. He knew a fellow just from a big college up north, an’ he would get him to fix up a Presbyterian ser mon. Well,Gasa did see the young fellow an’ he said cert’n’y, he’d write him a first class Presbyterian sermon; said he liked to help the ambitious an’ soulful along. So he wrote off a whole lot of stuff an’ sent it to John Swatt, an’ when the Sunday came there was the greatest gathering of Presbyterians at Slump Holh w N that ever was. Well, John got up an’ read that sermon, an’ he hadn’t got to more than about thirdly when a great big orthodox brother rose an’ pulled a gun out of his breeches leg about a foot an’ a half long an’ began popping away at the preach er. John dodged down behind the pulpit an’ asked for an explana tion. It turned out that the ser mon he had delivered or was de livering just took the theory of pre destination by the back of the neck and tore it wide open.—St. Louis Globe-Democrat An Old Doctor's Favorite.

Plans and arrangements have been made for the erectiou of a bioycle factory and variety works in copnection with an iron foundry in Cordele. Work will soon com | mence on the plant. It is claimed Tlie Baling of Cotton. As the best method of compress ing cotton is now the most im portant question affecting cotton interests in this country and abroad, the Manufacturers’ Rec ord publishes this Week special ar ticles on the subject written by three of the most noted authori ties in the country, presenting dif ferent views of the new cylindri cal bale. Mr. James L. Orr, presi dent of one of the most successful cotton mills in the south and a gentleman deeply interested in all that concerns the cotton trade in all its forms, suggests in addi tion to the arguments that the new gins and presses will supplant the ones now in use, that a change of covering would mean a loss to the producer; . that the pressure on the round bale injures the fibre irreparably and that a reduction in the number of sam plers offers opportunities for fraud, that the round bale, in re quiring much more time, trouble and expense for opening up, will present, several serious disadvan tages to manufacturers who now use uncomnressed cotton. Col. A. B. Shepperson, the noted cotton statistician, who is widely known as always triendlv to the cotton-growing interests, takes is sue with Mr. Orr on all points. He states that, with the excep tion of the cotton used by our southern mills, about 10 per cent, of the crop, nearly all of our cot ton is compressed before it reaches American and foreign spinners, so that the matter of the expense of opening up cylindrical bales at the mills should be compared with compressed bales and not with un compressed ones. Mr. Shepperson admits that there is a slight ad vantage in the use of uncom pressed cotton, but insists that it only enables the southern manu facturer who uses uncompressed cotton to limit the size of his opening and picker department, thereby saving a very little capi tal in the original investment. At the same time it may be added that the mills buying uncom pressed cotton and the round-bale buyers will become competitors for cotton to the great profit of the growers. Colonel Shepperson shows,, more over, that the reduction of ex penses on cotton from the time it is ginned until it reaches the mill benefits the grower; that the change of cover is actually a sav ing to the grower; that progress is never made without losses to some interests, and, in addition to letters from Mr. Charles L. Lov ering, of Lowell, Mass., Hon. T. Jefferson Coolidge and Mr. J. Howard Nichols, of Boston, Mass., proving conclusively by actual ex perience the advantages of the round bale, he quotes one from Messrs. Haughton & Co., of Bos ton, telling of the gratifying re sults of selling the round bale by samples, preventing loss to the growers by stealing during a se ries of resamplings. Mr. Edward Atkinson, who has the habit of close observation and careful experiment, and who has been for years an earnest advocate of improved handling of cotton, after reviewing the other conten tions of Mr. Orr, dwells particu larly upon the question of pressure, and take 9 the ground that the pres sure upon the square bale is more injurous to the cotton fibre than that upon the cylindrical bale. In regard to sampling, he contends that the farmer ought to save one part and the spinner the other part of the gain accruing to from two to six persons under the pres ent method, and that the new bail ing process tends to such a saving. Mr. Atkinson meets the argument of the displacement of old gins by calling attention to the fact that progress has been through the dis truction of what has been valuable property by way of'the invention of simpler methods and more ef fective machines. A note of Prof. John M. Ordway, late of Tulaue University, New Orleans, has an important bearing upon Mr. At kinson’s letter, and confirms his statements as to the effect of the compression upon the fibre in the square and in the round bale. In this connection is republished also an editorial from the Colum bia (S. C.) State, in which it is said: Too many people have been making a living out of cotton,and the producer has had to pay them all. If he could sell direct to the consumer without re duction, actual or conventional, he would be more likely to get the real value of his product. Large interests have grown up about the handling of cotton, and it would be unpleasant—and doubtless injurous to many people—to have the succession of middlemen done away with; but,af k the manufacturer must go, as the bring ing of the mills to the cotton testifies. The foreign consumer must roll all his middlemen into one in order to meet on fairly equal terms the manufactur er-on-the-spot. Herein has been briefly' outlined the exceeding” interesting and val liable symposium on the subject of the round hale. It will be read by thousands of persons who have noted the of the new system. It is uiujoubtedly the most complete presentation of the whole subject which has been pub lished, and confirms the position loug since assumed by the Manu facturers’ Record, that the round bale was an immense advance to ward the realization by the south of the full benefits of its great sta ple crop, With this improvement started many others must natural ly follow. A lew weeks ago the editor was taken with a very severe cold that caused him to be in a most mis erable condition. It was undoubt edly a bad case of la grippe and recognizing it as dangerous he took immediate steps to bring abput a speedy cure. From the advertise ment of Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and the many good recom mendations included therein, we concluded to make a first trial of the medicine. To say that it was satisfactory in its results, is putting it very mildly, indeed . It acted like magic aod the result was a speedy anct permanent cure. We have no hesitancy in recom mending this excellent Cough Remedy to anyone afflicted with a cough or cold in any form. —The Banner of Liberty, Libertytowu, Maryland.

Bosses In Politics The thought is thrown out by the New York correspondent of the Philadelphia Press that the rich corporations are responsible for what is known as the political boss. These corporations, he says, are willing to pay,- and do pay, large sums of money to be let alone —that is, to be protected against vexatious and damaging legislation. The political boss is necessary to give these corpora tions what they want. His au thority being recognized by the party to which he belongs, he is able to control the members of the legislature who act with that party. He colleets the money the corporations contribute, and makes such a distribution of it as gives satisfaction to those inter ested. It was the declarations which Henry George made in respect to partv bosses which gave life to his campaign. Before he made threats against Mr. Croker and Mr. Platt his campaign dragged hopelessly, but when he began his attack upon the bosses his audiences in* creased greatly and became very enthusiastic. How to get rid of the political boss is a problem that has not yet been solved. There is no doubt the people would like to see him eliminated from politics, because they regard him as a source ot danger. The time may come, if it has not already, when the politi cal boss will not only accept what is offered him for protection against hostile legislation, but he will instigate such legislation and demand what pay he pleases to prevent it becoming law. Another bad feature of the boss in politics is that honest men are kept out of the halls of legisla tion, because the boss, in order to be in a position to carry out his contracts, must have sucM men in positions of power as will yield ready obedience to him.

A movement, is on foot to move an immense cotton mill from Uti ca, N. Y., to Kensington. The null will employ 2,000 hands and will be one of the largest in the country. Several southern capi talists are interested. A tract of 200 acres have been purchased as a site for tkj mill. The Carnesville Tribune, the only democratic paper in Frank lin county, has been purchased by W. A. Landrum, a red-hot popu list, and will hereafter advocate populist principles. The Tribune was formerly owned by Mrs. Gen eral Longstreet, nee Miss Dortch, and was at that time and has ever been one of the staunchest demo cratic papers in the state. Cotton receipts in Americus will easily go beyond 50,000 bales this season. Already the ware houses have handled 24,600 bales while perhaps, 20,000 from points outside have bem received at the compresses direct. A line is being surveyed from Gainesville to Dahlonega by B. H.

The pyrites would be used in the manufacture of sul phuric acid for fertilizers and other commercial uses. There is abundant water power between Gainesville and Dahlonega to furnish the electric current.

The petition has about 1,000 signatures of voters. The bondsmen base their claim for this release on the fact that they resigned the colliator’s bond for his second term ignorant of the fact that there was a shortage in his accounts, he being at that time able to more than meet the default then existing. A gold medal has been awarded the state of Georgia for the general agricultural display made at the Tennessee centennial. The gov ernor has received notification of this fact by the exposition authori ties, accompanied by an order up on a Nashville jeweler for said gold medal, which will be delivered to the state upon payment of price for the same. Gold medals, such as are awarded by the Tennessee centennial, cost from 135 to 150 dollars each. The state of Geor gia can get just as fine a medal as she is willing to pay for. At the same time she is restricted to the purchase of gold medals and can not practice economy in choosing a bronze medal, which costs but one dollar.
