The old saying, “Right wrongs
no man.” is true not only in every¬
day life, business life, social life,
but in political life as well. It is
therefore with this object in view
that we make the following state¬
ment.
We have heard that Mr. J. B,
King, White county’s represent¬
ative, has been charged with voting
to sell the state road—the W. & A.
railroad.
We have read the records of the
legislature for last year ( 19 x 5 )
touching with all that which dealt
with the legislation on the W. & A.
road, and this is what we find.
Mr. King voted to table the bill to
prevent the sale of the road or its
parrelling August 9, but the mo¬
tion was lost because 83 voted for
the motion and 83 against the mo¬
tion. On the following day the
motion was again made before, the
house to table this bill, but was
lost—there being only six voting
for it in this instance. Mr. King
voted against the motion. The
bill was then put up for action and
Mr. King was found voting for the
passage of the bill, and the bill
passed by a large majority.
Should Mr. King desire to make
his position more clear to our read¬
ers than we have done in this brief
statement he has the privilege to do
so in our columns.
Now, while the time is close at
hand for the decisioti of the people
at the polls who shall govern them
and serve them for tfae next two
year*, is a good time for the peo¬
ple to have their eyes and ears
wide open to their own interest.
We all know there are two separ¬
ate and distinct interests in the
state, as well as in the nation
-—on the one hand we find people
striving hard to even get an
existence in this world, and their
road is hard and thorney; on the
other hand wc find people who
have so much of this world’s pos¬
sessions that they know not what
they are worth and have no more
sympathy for the poor than they
have for the swine that roain the
swamps—if the swine were starv¬
ing they would give them some
think to eat, and if we were starv¬
ing they doubtless would throw us
a few crumbs. They live at ease
reaping the harvest of your labors,
or they get big salaries to serve
their masters instead of serving
their fellowmen, and they thus
serve to assist in extorting from
the tnasses an unequal amount for
their services and thus become
“lawful robbers” of the public.
It is up to you, Mr. Voter, to see
that you vote for the man w ho is
most likely to serve you. If you
want plums you need not expect to
gather them from a crabapple tree.
So is it with men. If you want
legislation in the interest of the
masses you must select a man who
has shown by his life that he is
deeply in symputhy with the mas¬
ses—not by words alone but actual
deeds.
Doubt not for a moment but that
the interests opposing your welfare
have their forces actively engaged
in the conflict to deceive the pub¬
lic.
If a man has accumulated money
he must have gotten it from the
public—and how did he get it?
Working for the interest of the
people? It may be that he is a
great public benefactor, but not as
great a public benefactor as he
should be if he accumulated any
great amount of money, hence he
wrenched it from the masses for
the gratification of his own selfish¬
ness, To elect a man who would
become a servant of this type of
manhood, would be to place an ad¬
ditional lock to the shackles you
THE CLEVELAND COURIER, CLEVELAND, GEORGIA.
have been wearing.
Remember it requires no brilliant
minded person to make money, for
it only requires a selfish disposition
and an utter disregard for the wel¬
fare and interest of our fellowmen,
and an india-rubber conscience
that can be stretched or twisted at
will regardless of the good of
others.
So soon as a man “makes” from
the public an amount exceeding
a just recompense for his services,
so soon should he reduce the profit
on his product, or the price of his
services, that the excessive accumu¬
lation of money may be prevented.
The man who has nothing in mind
more nobler and higher than the
mere “making” of money should
forever receive the condemnation
of the public at the polls.
It is not our duty, nor our pur¬
pose, to dictate to the voters of
White county who they should vote
for. They have sufficient intelli¬
gence within themselves to decide
what is best for the country,
and the great majority will vote
that regardless of any momentary
enticement that may be offered them
to the contrary.
There is nothing more needed in
this country than HONORABLE
men as public servants, men who in
reality are PUBLIC servants and
not CORPORATION servants, or
servants of CAPITAL.
II the people ever hope to be
brought out from under the yoke
of “captivity” they must trample
under their feet all efforts to sway
their loyalty to their country and
to their trusty friends, and cast
their choice for the men who are
best known by their lives to be
friends of the masses, the poor and
the needy—who would drown in
the deluge of polution or burn in
the fire of mammon rather than to
betray the trust imposed upon them
by the people.
The man who fails to serve the
neople whose votes elected him is
worse than a traitor.
Take heed to the man who, in
politics, pats you on the shofslder
and shouts-ift your car in silvery
words and through golden trumpets
when such is distinctly in opposi¬
tion to his life and character. He
is a “wolf in sheep’s clothing.” or,
like the lion, would turn and de¬
vour he whose hand gave it meat
to eat.

Campmeeting at Loudsville has
had rather unfavorable weather
for its opening. Tuesday and Wed¬
nesday was very cloudy and one
could but make preparations to at¬
tend only with the expectancy of
being disappointed by a downpour
of rain. However, up to the time
we go to press there has been very
little rain, and the probability is
that the campmeeting will have
big attendance with fairly good
weather.

Mr. R. L. Sutton, who resides
in the western part of the countv
beyond Pleasant, Retreat, passed
through town Wednesday going to
Atlanta to take a treatment against
hydrophobia. Mr. Sutton’s dog
had become dangerous and he had
him tied, but was in the act of mov¬
ing him when the dog bit him on
the leg. He had been bitten ori
the same leg the day before by the
dog while taking a chicken away
from him that he had snapped at
and killed. It is not known that
the dog had hydrophobia but Mi
Sutton did not want to take the
risk of going without treatment.
About a week before the dog be¬
came so ill he had treed a few
skunks in an old chestnut log and
had a long and trying fight before
he killed them all, and from that
time on he appeared to be affected.
and syliva ran freely from his
mouth.

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach
the diseased portion of the ear. There it>
only one way to cure deafnein, and that ia
by constitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an in named condition of the mu¬
cous linlttK of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube ia inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect h* arinK, and when it is
entirely closed. Deafness is the result, and
unless the inflammation can be taken out
and this tube restored to its normal condi¬
tion, hearing: will be destroyed forever ; nine
which cases out of te-u are caused by Catarrh
is nothing but an Inflamed condition
of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
c.-iae of Deafness (caus-U b/ catarrh) that
cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure
S< nA for circular*, free.

Monday afternoon Kirk Henson,
who now resides mostly in lit ion
county, came to the field where"
John Ash and others were engag¬
ed in pulling fodder near the Bap¬
tist church. It is alleged that Kirk
had a fruit can in which was whis¬
key and they all sat about the can
for a while and, it is faintly whisp¬
ered, some of the whiskey was
drank by some of the party. Any¬
how' .ton
Kirk called John Ash one of thtise
sayings, which we do not care lo
put in print— it’s too ugly— which
justifies one man striking the other,
and John let him have the full force
(if his best fust on the left eye.
Kirk remained in the field all night
and next morning was found by
marshal Jackson and brought to
town. Kirk was fitted I15 and cost
and John Ash exhonerated.
