was done this year, and every Demo
crat given an opportunity to express
his choice.
The only way to keep up party or
ganization is for every Democrat to
stand by his party nominees, in spite
of personal prejudice and feeling.
Where this is not done party organiza
tion does not amount to anything, and
the bridle might as well be pulled off
and parly organization thrown to the
wind. The voter who fails to stand
by his party’s nominee, does not belong
ninety-two to the party, but is aiding and abetting
the party opposing the Democratic
party.
The men, who have been nominated
by the Democratic party will plan and
work for the success of the entire
ticket, and not be willing under any
circumstances to aid in the defeat of
any of the nominees. This is the
only way the Democratic party can meet
its opponent with any hope of being
successful.
We have nothin? to say against the
nominees of the Populist party in this
county, for they are all clever men.
Nor have we anything to say against
the members ot the party for the ma
jority ot them are good and substan
tial citizens, but it is not now a per
sonal matter, it is a duty we owe to
our party to stand by its principles
and its nominees. We believe that
Democracy stands for the best
interests of the State.
Of all the counties in the State

the past appeals to the voters of Bald

withusto fall in line and bring old
Baldwin back into the Democratic
fold.
Democrats of Baldwin county arouse
yourselves and go to work for the suc

efforts and on the 5th ot October let it
be heralded throughout the State that
Baldwin is back into the Democratic

Death of Rev. John Hall, D. D.
The death of Rev. John Hall, pastor
of the Fifth Avenue Presbyterian
church, in New York, removes one of
the greatest preachers in the United
Stales.
Dr. Hall was on his annual visit to
Europe. He died unexpectedly lust
Friday at his sister’s residence at
Bangor, Ireland. His health had
been broken down for more than a
year. He bad hoped to return to New
York shortly, and had already engaged
passage on u steamer for himself and
his wife.
Dr. Hall was born in Ireland, on
July. 31, 1829, and was educated at
Belfast college. He was of Scotch
descent. In 1849 lie was licensed to
preach and at once engaged in labor as
a missionary in the west of Ireland.
He was installed pastor of the Presby
terian church at Armagh in 1852, and
in 1858 was called to the church at St.
Mary’s Abbey in Dublin.
He received from Queen Victoria
the honorary appointment of commis
sioner of education for Ireland. In
1807 Dr. Hall was a delegate from the
general assembly of the Presbyterian
church in Ireland to the Presbyterian
| church in the United States, and after
his return to Ireland lie received a call
to the Filth Avenue Presbyterian
church in New York. He accepted it
and entered upon his labors in Novem
ber, 1807.
A new church edifice was erected
for Dr. Hall in 1875 at a cost of about
$1,000,000, on the corner of Fifth av
enue and Fifty-fifth street. His salary
was $20,000 a year, and lie lived in
one of the best houses on Fifth avenue.
The assassination of the Empress of
Austria was purely wanton destruc
tion of human life. She was a good
anil charitable woman, according to
the sketches of her which have come
by cable, and her death could not in
apy manner advance the cause of the
anarchists. It is a pity that the Ihws
of Switzerland protect the worthless
life of her cowardly mufderer.

Independence At All Cost.
The Agitation in Cuba Becoming More
and More Widespread.
The predominant teature of the sit
uation in Cuba is the feverish and
widespread agitation of the Cubans in
fuvor of the absolute independence of
the island at all cost.
Manifestoes are being circulated in
viting the co-operation of Spanish resi
dents and merchants to this end and
pointing out that either annexation, or
an American protectorate would mean
death to all trade with Spain in a couple
of years.
Gen. Maximo Gomez, who only a
fortnight ago, gave expression to ex
tremely moderate views, counselling
harmony and patience, now expresses
himself strongly in favor of “absolute
independence or nothing.”
lie says the Spanish element cannot
afford to delay uniting with the Cu
bans, as a “necessary basis for the es
tablishment of conditions that will for
bid and prevent the United States grab
bing and taking easy advantage of the
treasure, both Spanish and Cubans
have fought for at an expense of rivers
of blood on eacli side.”
Gen. Gomez says, if report speaks
truly, that “those who fear indepen
dence belong to the same family of
cowardly curs who fled from Havana at
the first rumor of bombardment.”
These, lie declartd, are, however, a
minority; and, to quote him further:
“Alrncst the entire Spanisli population
remains, protecting their homes and
defying the dangers of war, and will
now remain to unite their efforts with
those of the Cuban party for the
development of the island and the re
turn of prosperity.”
The United States went to war with
Spain for the avowed purpose of giv
ing freedom to the Cubans, and what
ever maybe the final result, the United
States is hound to give (lie Cubans aid
and encouragement in establishing a
free and independent government.

Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 17.—The Second

The governor will review the troops.
No orders for them to move have yet
been issued. Beyond the fact that the
First will be mustered out at Macon,
nothing is known as to the time they

Truth wears well. People have
learned that DeWitt’s Little "Early

are now on the
Creditors and Debtors
In India, we are told, there is a cu
rious practice in debt collections. The
creditor sits at the debtor’s door and
does not eat until the debt is paid.
The debtor must either pay up or move
away, or else the creditor will starve
himself to death. 'Ibis would seem to
us a very silly proceeding on the part
of the creditor; but Dr. S. R. Stein-
metz, in a study ot the custom printed
in the Revista Sociologia Italiana for
January of this year, points out that
when the meaning and origin of the
usage are appreciated,it is by no means
so foolish as it looks. Should the cred
itor die from hunger, the debtor is held
responsible for murder, and the terrible
penalties of blood revenge will be
wreaked upon him by the family of the
creditor. Not only the debtor himself,
but allliis kin or gens will become the
targets of a merciless vendetta. With
tliis certainty in view, any sacrifice on
his part would be wiser than to allow
the creditor to perish.
As there seems to be a desire on the
part of some ot the western nations to
cultivate Buddhism, we may see, later
on, some other Oriental practices like
debt-collection in India adopted. As
the British have impoverished millions
of Hindoos, there must be a good deal
of starving among creditors there or
assassination of debtors.
In China doctors are paid for keep
ing people well. They are not paid at
all when sickness prevails. The doc
tors of Sweden, we are informed, never
send bills to their patients. 1 f you
have occasion to call a physician you
will find him not only skillful in his
profession, but a highly educated and
honorable gentleman. You will also
have a proof of the honesty of the
Swedes and their friendly confidence
in each other. What you shall pay
your physician is left entirely to your
own choice. The rich may pay him
liberally, whether they have need of
his services or not, it he has once been
retained by them. The poor may pay
him a small sum, and the very poor
(»ay him nothing. Yet he visits the
poor as faithfully as he does the rich.
Some American doctors operate on
this line, but not many. A rich man
said that his doctor never sent him a
bill, but it cost him much more from
year to year. Dr. Stone, once the
most eminent physician and surgeon in
New Orleans, never sent a bill to any
one. It was quite voluntary for rich
or poor to pay him. One ot our Geor
gia doctors, who retired in full prac
tice, with a competence, made most ot
his money from relatively poor people.
He did not press them, but said:
“Every year or so, there is a religious
revival in town, and, at the close of
the services, all my bills are paid.”
This doctor was not himself what is
culled a religious man, but, in various
ways, he saw and confessed the won
derful power of religion.—Augusta
Chronicle.
STATUS OF THE ARMY.
Philadelphia Record: Already there
have been mustered out of the federal
service about 90,000 volunteer troops
in all branches of military service; and
it is proposed by the government to re
tain the 80 000-odd remaining volun
teers in active service in connection
with the regular army, which is to be
recruited to its maximum strength of
about 01,000 enlisted men. With such
a military force at its disposal the gov
ernment would be umply prepared tor
any of our newly-acquired territorial
possessions, as well as tor the enforce
ment of order in Cuba and the Philip
pines pending the final pacification ot
the turbulent element in those islands.
Before the terms of volunteer service
shall have expired the exact measure
of federal military requirements will
have been ascertained, and our armv
placed permanently upon a correspond-
| ing looting in numerical strength and
start organization.
