Po pm lists Shaping,
The chairman of the opu^is
executive county, fournishes conrmiiee, us wit ^ i ie a.
notice this week, calling a mass
meeting of populists on the 18th
of the present month for the
purpose of naming elegates
to the state convention, which
meets in Atlanta on August 6th
aud for the puipose © nonu
nating candidates for county
offices.
This would indicate most pos¬
itively that the final campaign
is shaping and that a repetition
of the local political struggles
of the past, throughout the
State, is inevitable. The pre¬
liminaries are in evidence and
indicate a bitter and determin¬
ed struggle. From what w'e
have been able to gathei the
very best men in the populist
ranks will be placed for the va¬
rious offices and supported en¬
thusiastically by the followers
of Watson. However, this has
been true for several past cam
paigns.when the cause for oppo
sitiou was much greater than at
the present time, and democ¬
racy w r as triumphant. With
this situation clearly compre¬
hended by democrats and with
a good will to work for the suc¬
cess of the party, there ueed be
no serious apprehension of the
result in the coming campaign.
The honest voters of the
country are in possession of the
democratic paity and aie ma -
ing demands f 01 the best intei
est of the whole people. Their
determination is uncompromis
iagand the result can be only one
way. 1 he people aie a unit
and there is no wise or patriot
ic reason to justify Southern
men, brothers and neighbors, in
their antagonism to democracy.
They must come together and
there are no terms more suited
to the reunion than those em¬
bodied in the declarations of the
clans that gatlieied in Macou
last week. No fight can be
made upon the platform of the
Georgia democracy and the
Chicago convention will give us
virtually the same solid foun¬
dation upon which we will whip
the National fight. It is tima to
unite. The populists are striving
to strengthen their party
with democratic recruits. The
main body of the party belong
to the old host and should every
democrat in Georgia discard the
old name and tumble into the
populist ranks it would utterly
distroy the party aud its pres¬
ent leaders, aud the political
advantages to he gained would
not be perceptible to the naked
eye. Democracy will never go
down and the only way to ob
t tin good effects from it is to
re-unite and let honest ballots
count at the polls,
As tbe time draws near for tbe
meeting of tbe Chicago convention
the peo ’lo wonder as to thenomiua
tion— who will it he?

The Senoia Enterprise says
that a good i ooking) we ii-to-do
bachelor of GriffiD was being
teased by the young ladies of a
cb;b for no t beiug married. He
gald; , <ru m the one of
whom on a gecret vote> u
elect to b@ my wi{e » There
were g members of the club,
Each girl went into a corner
and used great caution in pre
p a n U g her ballot and disguising
her hand writing. The result
of the voting was that there
were nine votes cast, each girl
receiving one. The man re¬
mains a bachelor, the club is
broken up and the girls are all
mortal enemies, united in the
one determination that they will
never speak to that nasty man
again.
An exchange puts it this way:
« If you are lookin for a locali _
ty where trouble is never known,
idleness brings plenty and an¬
gels will minister to you, don’t
stop in Georgia, heaven is your
home. But if you really mean
business and willingl takeoff
your coat and work out your
own destiny, this is the place
you are looking for. It offers
as fine climate, healthful sur¬
roundings, productive soil and
best opportunities for ultimate
success as any section of the
universe.”

The Spanish oflicors in Cuba
are growing rich by despoiling
their own government. It ap¬
pears that they are adopting
the methods by which the Chin¬
ese mandarins get rich. They
are said to be collecting money
from the government to pay for
supplies that were never de¬
livered; pocketing the salaries
of dead soldiers; impressing
horses from the Cubans, collect¬
ing pay for them from the -gov¬
ernment and never paying the
owners of the horses. In short,
according to the report, the dis¬
honest officers are defraudiug
Spain and oppressing Cuba for
their own private gain. Since
they are growing fat from such
spoils of war, they will probably
try to make the fight last as
loug as possible. Fevers are
sweeping down the Spanish
soldiers by scores and hundreds,
but the speculators care nothing
for that.—Ex.

It is a Mistake.
To take off proper clothing
out of season because you have
become heated.
To keep on working when
you are not in a fit condition to
do so.
To believe that children can
do as much work as grown peo¬
ple, and that the more hours
they study the more they learn.
To go to bed late at night and
rise at daybreak, aud imagine
that every hour taken from
sleep is an hour gained.
To imagine that if a little ex¬
ercise is good, violent or pro¬
longed exereise is better.
To conclude that the smallest
room in the house is large e
nough to sleep in, no matter
what the condition or ventila¬
tion may be.
To eat as though you had on¬
ly a minute in which to finish a
meal, or to eat without an ap¬
petite , or after it has been sat¬
isfied merely to gratify taste.
To imagine that whatever
remedy causes one to feel im¬
mediately better (as alcoholic
stimulants and strong drugs)
will be good for the system
without regard for the after ef¬
fect,—Ex.
