Gladly we return our thanks to the people of Conyers and Rockdale county for their liber al patronage since our return to the newspaper business. In the future we will give them the best local paper ever pub¬ lished in Rockdale county. It is with pleasure that we announce that Capt. Almand has, at the request of the Con¬ yers Volunteers, withdrawn his resignation. He is a clever gen¬ tleman and a good officer. Mrs. G. P. Sawyer continues very sick. Friend Pink Sawyer, we are glad to say, was on the streets this week, but is quite feeble; we deeply sympathize with him in his troubles. Simply saying that your land is posting is not sufficient notice. You must publish the fact and put the people on notice. Now, it seems to us, that our farmers should sow a large area in wheat this fall, and sow it early. Cotton is opening very rapidly, land will soon he all picked, and by the loth of No¬ vember you can put in your wheat. Put wheat on your good land ; fertilize well and the vield will be remunerative. Our city Fathers have made some becoming improvements in the way of lights. We have more lamps and better ones than ever before.

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.
