Simply saying that your land

You must publish the fact and
put the people on notice.
Now, it seems to us, that our
farmers should sow a large area

early. Cotton is opening very
rapidly, land will soon he all

wheat. Put wheat on your
good land ; fertilize well and the
vield will be remunerative.

Letter From Col. Peek.
Editor People’s Party Paper
After so much has been said
of the recent election we still
have much to be proud of in
Georgia. Our patty has grown
to fully one-half of the voting
population of the State in less
than eight months, and no one
dares to dispute the fact that it
is composed of the best citizens
of the Empire State of the South
—men who have courage of
convictions and tenacity of pur¬
poses, men who, under all cir¬
cumstances, dare to advocate
and maintain the doctrins and
principles upon which our gov¬
ernment was founded and es¬
tablished. It is ’amazing to
know that, in this land of bull
dozing, hoodlums, surpression
of free speech and plutocratic
intolerance, the determined ad
voeates of equal rights have
been successful in pushing their
army to an equal division of
the white voters of the State
A victory for the people has
been achieved, a principle es¬
tablished planted by the river
of waters eternal in the South
this, too, when the Democrats,
with the hole mouey 'power in
all depai’tments, were combined
against us. White men in debt
are threatened, tenants were
'utimated, emploves in many
nstances were refused time tc
vote, to others it was said, you
vill get out or vote the Demo
•ratic ticket. They wined
breakfast and even penned the
ioor negro the preceding night,
and with blue ribon aud brass
band the proud merchant, aris¬
tocratic doctor, and their cap¬
tains, lieutenants sergeants, and
corporals marched the negro tc
die polls and voted him against
his convictions. Fired by the
whisky ring, social equality was
established. In my own county
the above tactics were resorted
to defeat me. They went so
far as to rob the poor-house of
its inmates, hauling them to the
noils and voting some who on
account of lunacy connot find
their way back when a hun¬
dred yards away from the poor
farm. Such are competan!
for Democrats to use to defeat
the will of of the wealth-produ¬
cers. To what extent these
frauds were practiced, we have
only to say that this little coun¬
ty of Rockdale, with a voting
oopulation of about 102S, cast
1154 votes. A noted hall filled
was filled with negros, and
made merry by mean liquor
locked in for the night, break
fast the next morning and
headed by the leading moneyed
.men of the city, were marched
to the polls and voted as soon
as they were opened. It was
i,Iso ciculated that if I was elec¬
ted Governor of Georgia 1
should not take my seat, but
lie the death of Licoln and
Garfield.
With boodle, bulldozing and
utimidation, they used the 103,
507 collored voters in Georgia,
and did what the refusal to di¬
vide managers at the different
precincts indicated to all intel
igent people they would do to
save the glorious old party
from negro * supremacy.
When the colored voters could
not be bulldozed, bought or in¬
timidated into voting the Demo¬
cratic ticket, they were driven
from tiie polls, only a few be¬
ing allowed to cast their ballots
for the people’s party, though
the large majority would have
done so if allowed.
Despite all this we have made
a most wonderful move for our
cause and have burnt the bridg
es behind us with orders to the
front. No revolution was ever
started with such force. No
people ever fough under such
disadvantages as we have. We
have met the enemy on every
field with his old political gen¬
erals in command, equipped with
boodle for buying,
for intimidating, counting aud
stulTiing.
Ours was a campaign of
Without a dollar,
out an ambulance to carry the
weak who fell by the wayside,
without trained political gener¬
als, we have fought a good fight
and have enlisted in our army
for relief and reformation more
than half the white voters of
Georgia. The fight is on, am 1
there will be no grounding of
arms, no white flag raised, until
our demands are granted.
We never expect to kiss the
that is emitting us, or tc
lap like a dog; neither do we
intend to heed the satauio voice
crying “ come back.” We have
to regret, hut much to
be proud of. We have no per¬
sonal war to make, hut our po¬
sword is unsheathed and
crossed with parties of promi
qaq a)1 q no f; 0 f deeds. On the
0 f November T, with the
many thousands of other Geor
-flans, will say to the world that
we know no North, no South
no East, no West, hut one com¬
mon country with equal rights
‘o all. bv voting for our People’s
oarty Congressmen and Weav¬
er and Field. W. L. Peek.
The above Iptter from ar
“ old Rockdale boy ” will he
■■end with surprise by people of
every class and of every politi¬
cal belief.
In years past, when W. T
p eek was true to his people and
the grand principles of Democ
’’acy for which they have fought
nobly, he asked for politics'
preferment, and they never fail¬
ed to honor him. So long as hr
was true to them they repaid his
loyalty many fold, and now for
him to turn upon them and
accuse them cf having perpe
trated frauds and instigated so
rial equality with negroes, and
many other mean things, be¬
cause they would not hold ur
bis hands in his unwarranted
fight upon Democracy and fo'
old Weaver, the defamer of
Southern- men and women.
Slows that he is wanting in cl 1
the noble qualities that go to
make a man and that he is
soaked with those baser ones
that mark the traitor and tin
m,grate. His letter is a tissue of
misrepresentations from first tr
last. He knows that one-half
of the white people of Georgia
are not for his party ; he knows
that there are more than 1208
voters in this county; he knows
that there was not locked in a
certain hall in this town a num¬
ber of negroes all night and led
L o the polls the next morning
by the moneyed men here and
we defy him to prove it. His
assertion that it was said thaf
he was to have died, if elected,
“ the death of Lincoln and Gar¬
field, is silly—ridiculous. Hr
knows that the negroes were
not driven from the polls for hr
was here all day. He knows
that there were but two parties
—Democrats and People’s par¬
ty—and if the Dernocrat
bought any voters they were
People’s party voters, and thal
it is more dishonorable to sell
than to buy. He knows that
the methods used by Democrats
to secure votes were as honora¬
ble as the methods used by his
henchmen and everybody else
knows it. He says he does not
intend to heed that satanic cry,
“ come back. ” It may suit the
feelings of Mr. Peek to refer to
bis old friends and fellow-citi¬
zens as “ satanic,” yet he knows,
and, thank God ! the people of
Georgia know, that the people
of Rockdale county stand as
high for morality' and honesty
and patriotism as the people of
counti-y on earih and it does
lie in the power of Mr. Peek
soil their fair name in the
least We have, in the past
given Mr. Peek credit for hones¬
ty of purpose, but, in the face
of the above letter, we can do
so no longer. He has sought to
besmirch the fair name of om
oeople and our county with the
most uncalled forjmisrepresenta
tion and we do not believe they
will ever give him that place in
their hearts that he once occu¬
pied.
