Color line wiped out—the Third Party takes a seat. “We endorse the government
of railroads and the issuing of legal tender notes to pay Union Soldiers the differ
between depreciated money and gold.”
Do You Endorse It ?
We want to ask those few of
our people who are leaning to¬
wards the prospective third par¬
ty if they endorse the platform
recently put out at St. Louis.
Do they favor the go^prment
ownership of railroads ahd con¬
trolling them as Georgia once
did the State Road ? -Are they
in favor of “ the governmenT is¬
suing legal tender notes and
paying the Union Soldiers the
difference between the price of
depreciated mone v in which he
was paid and gold? ” Are they
in favor of the sentiment “ wipe
out the color line in politics ”
which was so heartily cheered
by Ellington, the candidate for
governor as a third partyite ?
If there is a man in Rockdale
comity, who is white, and be¬
lieves in white supremacy, that
favors such ideas as the above
we would like to hear from him.
Georgia, and the South, belong
to the white people of the south,
and they intend to continue its
owners and controlers and no
schemes worked by northen ha¬
ters of the south will even suc¬
ceed in wrenching it from them.
We have little respect for the
dirty thieves of the ‘North who
would rob us of our last dollar
and laugh to see ££ black heels
on white necks, ” and we have
less for the southern demagogs,
who, for the sake of office, are
trying to lead our people to
their aid. The old soldiers of
the South are being taxed every
day to pay enormous pensions
to the fat Yankees who defeat¬
ed them in war and robbed
them of their all, and yet they
come again asking us to
support a measure that will

THIRD PARTY DEAD.
There is no third party in New¬
ton county.
If there was one here before,
the speech of Col. Livingston
killed it “ too dead for
tion. ”
There is no doubt, however,
that there was a
undercurrent of
among our people, which
to run in that direction,
Col. Livingston made his

ed and literally “ dried up, ”

refutable arguments made

The people were somewhat at
sea, by reason of recent events,
and there was a pretty general
feeling of uncertainty prevail¬
ing among all classes, as to
what would be the ultimate
outcome of the St. Louis con¬
ference, aud its worse than con¬
fused and rancorous proceed¬
ings.
Hence the great interest felt
the coming of Col.
fresh from its bitter and
sionate conflicts, [to give
counsel as to the best course
pursue through the
ing campaign.
But his speech was
and emphatically against
third party in Georgia, and
far as we have been able
learn, it has completely crushed
out and utterly destoyed
ever of third party

The alliance people have

all the victory they want.

FOR THE FARMERS.
“ The people of South and of
Central America are much wis¬
er than we ” said Mr. Leon Blun
to a News man yesterday. £t On¬
a few years ago they raised
more coffee than was necessary
and as a consequence prices fell
something like four cents a
pound. There was no money
coffee at such prices, and the
planters knew it at once,
went to work in the only
that they could and reduc¬
production. The next year
crop was a smaller one. The
year it was the same thing
by the third year old'stocks
consumed aud what was
commanded good prices.
Coffee is now worth four or
times as much money as it
wliep too much was raised.
There is a good lesson in this
our cotton planters. This
in cotton is the same as
great overproduction years
coffee and the remedy is the
I read with great interest
Col. J. D. Rogers said to a
man last week on the sub
of raising corn. The Colo¬
is a practical farmer and
man.—What he says
have grea,t weight. His
of the baisis of credit be
the ability of the farmer to
at home what he con¬
at home is a good one.
the farmer who raises
own com in preference to
crediting the farmer who does
not do so is realy the keynote
of the cituation. I womld go a
stepfutherthan Col.Rogers goes,
and advise the interior mer
chants not to sell anything to
the farmer who does not raise
corn unless he puts cash down
with the order. I believe that
if this rule wus applied every¬
where there would be be a rad¬
ical change effected.
“I tell you, sir, that the man
who raises nothing but cotton
is not suitable man to credit.
He may be soul of honor, and
may have the best intentions,
and want to do the right thing,
but he cant do it. The present
is a good illustration of this.
There are thousands of men in
in pebt to-day, and too beyond
redemption, who have placed
their hopes on cotton. If theX
could sell their cotton for re a-,
sonable prices they could and
would pay their debts, but they
cannot do this, and the conse¬
quence is those who trusted,
them are left to hold the bag.
“It seems rather hard to say
what a man shall do or what
he shall not do, hut if the far¬
mer is fooll enough to waist his
time and energy on 6cent cot¬
ton, he should be made to feel
the bab effects of bis foly, and
should not be permitted to drag
the merchants and his other
friends down with him. If he
will not protect himself he has
no right to complain of other
and wiserm^n protecting them¬
selves against the ill effects of
his folly.
“ If 1 were an interior mer¬
chant doing business directly
with the farmer, my motto
would be “no corn and meat,
no credit.” If the merchants
will act on this vve will see a
great change for the better in
less than two years. The men
who raise only cotton are ruin¬
ing not only themselves, but
the whole country as well, and
should be forced to take a
backseat,” *Mi.
