It is Untrue
Almost every day we hear some one
make the charge that prerent condition of
tlie country is due to extravagance on
the part of the farmers. You will hear
people say that the present low price of
cotton will prove a great blessing by
making the people more economical by
making them quit raiseing cotton and
raise something else.
It is hard to conceive that it is ignor¬
ance on the part of these people who
make such charges, and yet we are loath
to believe that it can be otherwise.
'1 licsc same people who daily reiterate
these charges know that tlmy are totally
false in every respect. They know, or at
least the writer does, many families not
ten miles from Conyers who have worked
hard all the year, whose family, little big
old and young, have toiled and delved
throughout the year, and that too with
scant clothing and n thing but the plain
est food, and to-day they will not be able
to pay shis years debt. Their children
are barefooted and nothing but tatters
to protect their cold limbs from the win¬
try blast—they are in the cotton fields
iu this county now just in this condition,
fighting against hope. To charge upon
these honest, hardworking people who
have lived, fed and clothed (such food
aud clotbiug as it was) their families up¬
on three dollars a piece per month is too
base for a man with good common sense
make. We dislike to believe that we
have anybody who would make such
hose charges iu the face of the facts as
presented to them to-day. There is little
hope held out in the future to the bur¬
dened and down trodden workers of the
country, aud yet we can’t stop, the work
must go on. It is often the case that the
very parties who ought to encourage us
and cheer us on in the great battle of
life are the class that arc most often
charging us wit i extravagance and lazi¬
ness
These charges are false and are vnwor
of auy mau who knows the condition of
the country. T hey can only find lodg¬
ment in the basin of the very ignorant or
iu the carcass of that man who wishes to
aee his brother the “hewer of wood and
<Irawer of water” that others may grow
rlchjofi of his honest toil.
Tnere is but one ray of hope for the
toiling masses aud that is iu thorough
Organization aud perfect harmony.
Though the times are now exceedingly
dark, the wicked shall not always rula,
nor the righteous suffer. The fight is
going to be a bitter cue between plutoc¬
racy and the people (and if the people
lose, it will bo the extermination of that
great middle class that has always been
the conservators of the liberty and free¬
dom of the American people. Let us
stand together as one and battle until
the victory is won—until we regain the
liberty of our forefather and restore the
government again to its prostine pun
ITe who laughs lust laughs best—
we laugh last.
It now looks like we will have some
fuu yet n the race lor mayor. It is
now u timngular luce with ttuh can
didale confident of victory. Let er

Another Fraud.
"We are in receipt of of a circular
letter sent out by the Weather Bu¬
reau aDd in this letter it slates that
they propose to have crop reporters
in each county who will send weekly
reports of the condition of the grow¬
ing crops. We have given this sta
tistical plan some thought and under
the present gambling system of sel¬
ling futures, all such reports are
damaging the farmers of the country.
This is another humbug to be sup¬
ported by the government for the
government for the purpose of help¬
ing the gamblers get the great cotton
crop at less than half its real value.
Our present state agricultural de¬
partment is damaging the very people
for whom it is intended to benefit by
furnishing crop reports to the gam¬
blers of the world. The great cot¬
ton men say that the market is con
troled by supply and demand and if
it is we are strictly in favor of letting
it be supply and demand.
Let our farmers refuse to furnish
to any source the acrage of any of our
crops, and give out no information as
to the condition of crops. Cut off
this fraudulent statistical statements
and let the world understand that
when cotton is put upon the market
that is the supply and then if there is
any demand let it go. This part at
least of our agricultural department
ought to be abolished.
Morrill can continue to run the
weather, but the people ought not to
to be taxed for a fraud that will dam¬
age them.
The people should be thankful to
God for the blessings he has so abun¬
dantly lavished upon them, but they
are under no obligation to observe it
at the direction of a government that
has robbed them, Let the people
a ppoint a thandsgiving day to God,
one not dictated by a thiiving gov
ernment.
We understand that Judge McCal
la will be in the race for judge of this

for the bench.

Makes the
Weak Strong
The marked benefit which people in ran
down or weakened state of health derive
from Hood’s Sarsaparilla, conclusively proves
the claim that this medicine “ makes the weak
strong.” It does not act like a stimulant,
Imparting fictitious strength from which there
must follow a reaction of greater weakness
than before, but in the most natural way
Hood’s Sarsaparilla overcomes that tired feel¬
ing, creates an appetite, purifies the blood,
and, in short, gives great bodily, nerve,
mental and digestive strength.
Fagged Out
“ Last spring I was completely fagged out.
My strength left roe and I felt sick and mis¬
erable all the time, so that I could hardly
attend to my business. I took one bottle of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and it cured me. There
is nothing like it.” R. C. Begole, Editor
Enterprise, Belleville, Mich.
“ i derived very much benefit from Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, which I took for general debility.
It built me right up, and gave me an excel¬
lent appetite.” Ed. Jexkins, Mt. Savage, Md.
N. B. If you decide to take Hood’s Sarsa¬
parilla do not he induced to buy anything else
instead. Insist upon having
