A Cheeky Proposition.
An editorial in the Columbus j
Enquirer Fun last week, contains
fine or two statements that for
cool impudence are entitled to the
cake. Says the Sun :
In every town in Georgia there
are merchants whom the farmers
will trust with every thing except
their politics. On this point the
merchant pleads with them in
vain. ** * If the farmers of the
Soutli would follow the advice of
the merchants with whom they
deal from year to year, and whom
they trust in many instances, al
most implicitly, Gut few of them
would be led astray by the free
| si ver fallacy .
And so the farmers must go to
tho merchants from whom they
buy their sugar and collco and eal-
I ICO to get their politics, must they?
And when they go to town to buy
a sack of flour they must not for
get to ask the merchant how they
must vote ;of course not? Accord
ing to the Sun’s bright idea the av
erage farmer hasn’t sense enough
to form a conclusion of his own.
He is a regular numbskul 1 , a mut
-1 ton held, who don't know enough
!to get out of a shower, and who
must need have some one tell them
how they must vote, it is a very j
bright idea, and if the Sun will get
it patented it will have a monop- j
< ly, whether it yields a fortune or
not.

Bryan and Sewall.
At the National Democratic con
vention held in Chicago last week,
William J. Bryan, of Nobraska, was
nominated as tho candidate for
president, and Arthur Sewall, of
Maine, was givon second place on
the ticket.
Mr. Bryan is w'dl known as the
m.ost eloquent champion of the sil
ver cause in the west, while Mr
Sewall, who is a wealthy Maine
ship builder is equally as strong for
the white metal.
The platform was adopted and
the nomination made over tho hit
tor protest of the New York and
Now England delegates.
For the first time since the war
the south and west have combined,
and for tho first time have defied
The moneyed men of the last.
For the last thirty years New
York has practically controlled the
policy' of tho Democratic party.
That state lr>s furnished, or
named t lie candidate, and dictated
it? platform.
But now the conditions are
changed. It is a union of the south
and west, not on sectional lives,
but because of a common interest.
It is a secession from the control
of New York, and the movment
has all appearances of a political
ground swell that will sweep the
country from Maine to the Pacific.
The gold standard papers of New
York and other large cities are
bolting the action of the conven
tion by the dozens. Already there
is talk among the go’dites of put
ting out a second Democratic can
didate on a straight gold platform,
but it is sate to say that the move- j
moot w ill amount to little.
The belief is gaining ground i
daily that the ticket just nominated j
will sweep the country from the'
lakes to the gulf, and that William ;
J. Biyan, the most eloquent man j
in the United States today, will be!
the next president. So mote it be! j

COUBT CONVENED
Last Monday With Judge Janes 1
On the Bench.
The July term of Chattooga Su- 1
perior court convened Monday i
morning at 10 o’clock with Judge
Jmi's of Cedartown, presiding.
This arrangement was made in or
der to dispose of some business in
which Judge Henry was disquali-1
fied.
After the grand jury was organ- i
ized Judge Janes delivered a charge
that while being brief, seemed to j
covet all the essential points of j
law. His Honor’s charge was lis-'
tened to very closely, and created
a most favorable impression among
j tho audience in tho court room,*it
being clear, concise and to the
! point.
Mr. J. M. Wyatt was made fore-!
man of the jury, which by the
way, is an excellent and thorough
ly repr sentativo body of men,and
in whose hands the legal and moral
interests of tho county may well
bo entrusted.
Bailiff J). A. Crumly was select
ed to wait on the jury’ and his
faithful service in the past is a
guarantee that the duties of his
position will bo carefully'discharg
ed .
The following well known offi
cers wore selected to wait on the
I court to-w it: Messrs T. J. Wor
sham, Jas. Cooper, .Jas. S. Majors,
Jus O’Bar and M. F. Ballard, all
good and faithful officials.
His Honor at once put a veto on
all whispering or talking that
I would in any’ way disturb the
I court anil intimated very plainly
that ho would promptly collect a
j dollar from any who violated his
| rule. Ono gentleman was sitting
jin a window where he could get
I tho benefit of the cool breezes,
j when the Court promptly told tho
sheriff to remove him therefrom,
nl cnseueoqnce of all these things
those in attendance are very mild
mannered, and do not at all seem
disposed to raise an issue with the
judge on the matters in question.

“For five weeks 1 lived on cold
water, so to speak,” writes a man
who suffered terribly from indi
; gestion,
He could hardly keep anything
;on his stomach. What stayed,
j wasn't properly digested and gave
him terrible pangs.
1 This is not an uncommon case,
i Dyspeptics don’t get enough nour
ishment. They are generally thin
and weak.
They may eat enough, but they
don't digest enough. Much of
what they eat turns into poison.
If this keeps on there's no telling
what disease they may get next.
That’s why it is best to take
Shaker Digestive Cordial, as soon
as symptoms of indigestion appear.
It cures all the evils of indiges
tion, and prevents the evils which
udigestion causes.

A Delightful Picnic.
Os all the picnics thathavo been
1 given this season the gayest one
was given by Mr. E. V. Bailey at
Sclman & Story’s mill. Mr. Espy
said the only thing he regretted
about the picnic was they' didn’t
invito him to join the p->rty till
jhe had returned from dinner. I
feel no hesitancy in saying that
tho old mill never before held such
a jolly and gay crowd. The fish
ing was simply grand and those
who participated caught something
near 10 pounds-of fish.
Boating was fine. On the placid
waters of tho clear smooth stream
the young people certainly seemed j
!to enjoy life. Moor’s .string baud'
of Cedartown furnished delightful
music for tho occasion. Far up
the creek the sweet strains of mu
sic from the band at the mill could
be heard mingling with the low
; music of the waters and the merry
laugh of the happy crowd. When
the sun reached the half way mark
dinner was spread. And such
a dinner! Even the gods might
envy' us, such a feast. The style
and neatness with which the young
ladies prepared the table was proof
that they will some day make j
some ‘ poor fellow” a most delight
ful companion for life. We lin
gered till late hours. Nights sil
very veil began to enfold us ere
we bade each other good bye—soon j
to meet again.

For Representative.
I hereby announce myself a can
didate to represent tho people of
! Chattooga county in tho next Gen
eral Assembly.
Believing as I do that “a public
office is a public trust;” that a
i man elected hy tho people is their
servant and not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability’, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing the money’ question as
the greatest issue of the day and
favoring the fine and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 and following the teachings
of Jefferson and Jackson that
National Banks and Banks of issue
are dangerous to the welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Hence if elected
I will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors the same.
Education is the hope of the
state, therefore I am in favor of a
liberal support iff the public
school's.
I oppose thejpresent convict sys
tem as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As the price of the products of
labor has decreased and the
purchasing power of money has in
creased and I deem it just and
right that fees and salaries bo re
duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county I am very respect
fully', A. J. Moore.
For Surveyor.
I hereby announce myself acan
didate for the office of Survey’or
