CONYERS, GA., OCT. 22, 1896 Democratic Ticket. For President, W.J. Bryan, of Nebraska, For Vice President, Autiier Sswall, of Maine. For Congress, L.F. Livingston, of Newton. A cigarette trust has been formed and the price of ci¬ garettes will go up. Now is a good time for the boys to boycott the manufacturers. People should be suspicious of any man that attempts to deceive them with deliberate misstatements. A cause that is forced to defend itself by deliberate falsehood must be weak indeed. Col. L. F. Livingston, while going up in the elevator at the Kimball house, at Atlan¬ ta, last Friday, got his foot caught and pretty budly hurt, but it was not broken as was at first thought. Mr Bryan, in a recent speech at Travers City, Mifch., said: “My friends, it may be a little old fashioned, but I am one of those who believe that a man is greater than his party.” Who ever heard Mr. Cleveland say that a man was greater than his party?. Uncle Jim Anderson, of the Covington Star, doubts the success of the Demo-Popu¬ listic nominee for president when he says, “In just two weeks the lion. William will be elected.” We thought Uncle Jim had settled on which William would win. We are now using the best money in the world, and, hard as the times are, the general condition of the people is the best in the world. To give that up for money worth only half as much would be to drop from the top to the bot¬ tom, and the very size and importance of the country would contribute to the over¬ whelming disaster. The supreme court handed down decisions in the cases of Taylor and Tom Delk, the Pike county desperadoes now confined in Fulton county jail under sentence of deatli for the murder of sheriff Guinn, last Monday, Bv the decision of the court Tom Delk is refused another trial for his life, but his old fa¬ ther, Taylor Delk, is given another chance to prove his innocence.

Judge Joel Branham. fudge Joel Branham, of Rome, Ga., is a candidate for a judgeship on the Supreme Court bench of Georgia. , After careful inquiry of those who know him person¬ ally, we believe him to be one of the most suitable men for that office that the people of the state could select at the election for that purpose in December. He is a pure man and one of great judicial ability. Let Joel Branham be one of the new judges. Four years ago, Mr. Bryan campaigned the country, tell¬ ing the people of the ben¬ eficent results to follow tariff reform. To-day he declines to discuss the tariff, but offers a new legislative^nostium for which as a panacea the evils he prominently helped to bring upon the farmers of this country. The Lithonia Lithotome, a Populist paper, has been moved from Lithonia to Clarkston, where it will be conducted in the future by Mr, Ed L. Sutton under its old name the Clarkston Clarion, Mr. Haddock, the former Lithonia editor, quit some three weeks before the election and Mr. D, B, St John edited one paper and went to the woods to wait the report from the election. The returns were so dumb¬ founding that he failed to turn up afterwards and no paper was issued the week of the election. The outfit was moved back to Clarkston and is shelling Populist corn at the hands of a new editor. UlfONDERFUL WV are the cures by Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and yet they are simple and natural. Hood’s Sarsa¬ parilla makes PURE BLOOD. Bryan A Campaigner. As a hustling campaigner Mr. Bryan is a record break¬ er, According to the New York World, he has traveled already twice as many miles ur.d made nearly three times as many speeches as all other Democratic candidates since i860 The following is Mr. Bryan’s record up to the 19 th inst: Number of speeches delivered 108 Number of speeches made by all other Democratic can¬ didates since 1860 164 Cities and towns spoken in 882 States spoken in 29 Number of miles traveled since the nomination 18,046 Miles traveled by all other Democratic candid atei since 1860 6,106 Number of words spoken on the stump (estimated) 605,000 NATIONAL KITCHEN CAB¬ INET. Mr. Y. P. Carter and tho?e working Li,,, under his management - t he peopie of .his county that remarkable invention called the “National Kitchen Cab iuot.“ This peihaps is as good a name as could be found for it; but it scarcely gi es any idea of the real value and com eniem e of this wonderful piece of kitchen furniture. Every house keeper wUo likes nea.oe.s, every oue who likes comemenee, every one who likes to have everything in its place, every one who likes the beautiful, cannot fail to want a Kitchen Cabinet. Notonlv is it neat snd handy and beautiful, but ono value properlv used would save its in a large family in twelve months. Views of Samuel J. Tilclen on Unsound Finance. Uncertainty is the prolific parent of mischief in all bus¬ iness. Men do nothing, be¬ cause they are unable to make any calculations on which they may safely rely. They undertake nothing, because they fear a loss in everything they would attempt. wait, The They hope and merchant dares not buy for the future consumption of his customer, The manu facturer dares not make fab¬ rics which may not refund his outlay, He shuts his factory and discharges his workmen. Capitalists security they can¬ not lend on consider unsafe, and their funds lie almost without in terest. Men of enterprise who have credit or securities to pledge will not borrow. The people need to know that the Government is moving in the direction of ultimate safety and prosperity, through and that it is doing so prudent, safe and conserva¬ tive methods which will be sure to inflict no new sacri¬ fice on the business of the country. Then the inspira¬ tion of new life and well founded confidence will hast¬ en the restoring processes nature and prosperity will begin to return.—Tilden’s Letter of Acceptance, 1876. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE. We are pained to announce that Mr. M. W. Davis, a well known citizen of Covington, attempted suicide about six o’clock on Sat¬ urday evening last, by shooting himself in the left breast with a pistol. He had been up town during the afternoon, and was appearently in his usual good spirits, He re¬ turned home about dark, and go¬ ing out on his back porch, shot himself. The ball had entered about the left nipple, had struck a rib and glanced around the lungs, and came out under the shoulder blade. He was taken in and laid on the bed, and was soon under the in lluence of morphine, since which time he has been carefully nursed, and strong hopes are entertained of his recovery. He expressed himself on Satur day night as desiring to die, and has -since begged to be kept under the influence of the drug in order that he might die easy. Mr. Davie is a quiet, good citi een, but has been despondent and much depressed in mind since the death of his wife during the past summer. He has three young children which he loves dearly, and the care of which has been a source of much tender anxiety to him.— Covington Star.
