ABSOLUTELY PURE
Communicated.
Mr. Editor:— As the national
eh-etion is at hand I desire to
have a word with my fellovv
citizens of Aockbale county.
On the third of next month we
are to elect a man to represent
us in congress. Our vote may
determine the issue, A very
heavy responsibility
]• si.b upon us. The character
Oi ’ the man chosen will reveal
t ■ character of those choosing
him. He stands in our stead
and if a good man We may ex
pect a blessing. If he is not a
good man, but one devoid of
principle and conscience we may
surely expect to he the suffer
ers. The good book “ays when
/•lie righteous are in authority
the people rejoice and when the
wicked bear rule the people
mourn. This is a law holding
good in every nation as history
plainly shows, Look at the
misery and corruption of 1 ranee
under Louis Xl\ and of En¬
gland under the reign of Charles
IT By electing bad men we
put power into their hands to
work the greater mischief and
by their bad examples to make
vice popular. This is done just
in the same way that water runs
down hill. For as the good
book again says. t i The wicked
wa'iK on every side when the
vilest men.are exalted. 1 }
Now, no one will deny that
we have fallen in evil times.
The way our elections have been
cord acted here lately has dis
gn-d v i every decent man in the
county. Not merit or truth
but whiskey rules the hour. No
poor man who wishes to do
light and who refuses to 'stoop
to ways that are dark need as¬
pire for any office. Surely it is
time we should call a Halt. Let
ys no longer put a premium on
trickery and vice, but rebuke all
such aspiiauts and vote for the
best man,
Now we have one good man
before us whose excellencies are
known to every voter in the
comity; a man who never be¬
trayed a trust nor deceived a
friend. Who, by the dint of
native talent, without any coi
kgut or liberal education, has
forged his way to the front, both
:n church and state. This man
is honest and cannot be bribed,
tr|ilhM and WCU]J not Het0
, . fellow . ,, for „ the . trident ...
Ins man
ot Neptune or the thunder , of
Jove. r In . intelligence . . he is the
peer of . the ., . best men in the . po
:uical ... .... Georgia . and , .
arena in in
purity .. and , morality .. stands ,
as
high . . . above . „ them ,
many oi as
Splugen 0 , above , the ; Alps. ,, In ,
morals his character is above
reproach. In working ability
and manly, mother-wit tact he
has few equals. Such a man
al ways can do more for his con
si,Tientsin the halls of legisla¬
non than the babbler who soon
loses all influence with his asso
ciates. A man who has led in
every movement that would
contribute to the material pro
gross and moral welfare of Bock
county. A man who, a
mong his other good deeds, sue
-ded in ns the s,oc k
shops ^'v and from in our during county and whiskey in so j
- ping the guano laws as to
f • ' our farmers hundreds and
thousands of dollars, A man
uho iias leci tlle wa y iu farming
and has thus set an example of
industiy to the surrounding
A man whose
probity and rectitude _ and high
toned condifct have gained foi
him the confidence, admiration
and esteem of Georgia from the
mountains to the seabord. In
this portrait you see before you
W.L. Peek. His likeness is
visible in every lineament of the
picture. Of such a fellow-citi¬
zen and county mafl we may
well be proud, May we not
then indulge the hope that ev¬
ery voter in this county without
regard to party lines will show
their appreciation of such a
distinguished fellow-citizen and
compliment him by making his
vote unanimous.
“Do right and fear not, let all
the ends thou aims’t at be thy
country’s, thy God’s and
truth’s.” •
Rockdale,
Judge Crisp Dead.
The announcement of the
death o'f Judge Chas. F. Crisp,
which occurred in Atlanta yes¬
terday afternoon at 2 o’clock,
shocks and saddens the entire
country. It was known that he
bad been in feeble health and
that he had been confined in
Atlanta for five weeks past with
malarial fever, but no one ex¬
pected that his condition was
so serious. His death was sud¬
den and is attributed to heart
failure.
Thus one of our ablest and
purest statesmen passes away
in the midst of his career and
when, it seems to us, his servi¬
ces were most needed. This
death comes near being a nation¬
al calamity.
Peek Withdraws.
Col. Peek has withdrawn
from the congressional race.
He lias nothing to say concern¬
ing the matter. Ho went to
Atlanta late yesterday evening
to be present at a conference
held there last night.
. He says the populist electoral
ticket, will be withdrawn also
and the boys will.vote as they
please.
From his conversation we
judge that the party L in a bad'
muudie and there is little hope
of straightening it in this cam¬
paign.
Col. Peek doesn’t say that he
D down in favor of the repub¬
lican nominee.
For Next Mayer.,
It is understood that Maj
E. II. Aim a nd will not be a
candidate for re-election to the
office of mayor for 1897.
How would ftur fellow-citizen,
P. G, Tucker do for the place?
He is worthy and well quali¬
fied.

No Fusion, I
The Democratic' executive
committee of the state met in
Atlanta last Tuesday to take ac¬
tion upon the demand of the
populist, party for fusion.
After due consideration the
committee disposed of (he mat
ter by pasing the following
resolution unanimously;
Whereas, The populist exe¬
cutive committee has made a
proposition ignores which completely
fusion by eliminating the
candidacy of the democratic
nominee for vice president, Mr.
Sewail, and has cut off the
democratic committee from fur¬
ther consideration of the ques
tiot\ , by fixing ~ . an at i bit 1 at ..... n .nit
J
which expires today, giving this
1
Committee opportunity . c tor
no
consideration of a
for proper fusion; therefore.
Be it resolved, That the char
ot . the , democratic , State ex- . .
man
ecutive committee appoint a
committee of five, of which he
shall be chairman, to properly
present to the public the attitude
of this committee in its refusal
to accept the umreasonable and
unjust ultimatum of the popu
list committee, clothed as it is in
offensive and unbecoming lau
guage.
By Convention.
The Democratic state execu¬
tive committe passed the fol
lowing resolution as to tin
manner of selecting candidati
for the Supreme bench:
Resolved, That the several
counties of the state are direct
de to select, either by primary
or mass meeting, as the execu
tive committees of the severs
counties may elect, two dele¬
gates for each representative m
the lower house of the Geor
gia legislature, to a couventio:
to be held in the city of Atlani:
on the 18th day of November
next, to nominate candidate^
for four supreme court judges
that said primary or mass meet¬
ing shall be held in each county
on the 14th day of November
next.
Not long now until the eve¬
ning of the 3rd of November
when people for hundreds of
miles around 'will flock to At¬
lanta for the purpose of spend¬
ing the night reading the Con¬
stitution’s election bulletin'.
The Constitution will possibly
excell all its former efforts in
this line and give the eager
watchers an unusal treat.
Much is always expected of the
Constitution and it has a wg *
of never disappointing its tnou -
sands of friends.
