Agricultural Commissioner Nes

their cotton. As the same advice

A Non-Partisan Question.
Dr. W. A. Candler, the emi
nent divine and teacher, whose
name is almost a household word
in Georgia, was interviewed in At
lanta a few days ago in regard to
the report that he would take an
active interest in behalf of Mr.
Seaborn Wright 1 the Populist-pro
hibition candidate for governor, in
the coming campaign, and when
askedjif the report was true he re
plied :
“Emphatically no. lam a pro
hibitionist and have been all my
life. I believe in and practice to
tal abstinence. But as I see it, a
minister of the gospel cannot with
propriety take part in party poli
tics. 1 have studiously avoided
all such participation in party pol
itics since I began preaching, and
I was a preacher three years before
I was old enough to vote.
“When prohibition is presented
as an issue separately,” continued
the doctor, “when it is non-parti
san prohibition dissociated from
persons and parties—l see no im
propriety in a preacher urging its
adoption; but when entangled
with party issues and mixed with
questions as to the relative fitness
of persons for office, he cannot
with propriety have to do the mat
ter.
“I have a ministry to men of all
parties and that ministry is more
to me than anything else in this
world. I will not place between
myself and its accomplishment
any needless barrier. The minis
ter of God is like the church of
God, he must seek to save men of
all parties in all places. Mr. Wes
ley said, “The world is my parish,’
and the world includes men of all
parties.
“Moreover as a prohibitionist, I
feel that the cause is best promo
ted by non-partisan methods,” he
continued. “By such methods it
was placed over Maine, and so it
has been placed over nearly all of
Georgia. By such methods we
will one day see all of Georgia un
der prohibition. I believe wo are
in sight of that now. Since the
registration law went into effect
every local option election held in
Georgia has resulted in a victory
for the dry side, if I remember
correctly. The anti-barroom bill
has good promise of adoption.
“I dare say a majority of the
white people of Georgia are for
prohibition, whether Democrats,
Populists or Republicans, and I
thiuk it would be unfortunate for
the cause of prohibition to be iden
tified with the fortunes of any par
ty, nor do I believe it can be so
identified by any action of any
party.
“The members of the national
Prohibition party in Georgia can
be fused with this party or that,”
said the doctor, but the great ma
jority of prohibitionists in Georgia
are scattered through all the par
ties and I suppose will continue so
to be. At any rate, nobody is au
thorized to represent them in mat
ters of fusion. The Nationals, I
think, voted only about I,(XX) votes
in Georgia at the last presidential
election, and their leaders I sup
pose can fuse them.
“In what I say to you, however,
I would not be construed as reflect
ing on anybody or any party. I
am not in politics, never was and
never expect to be. I am trying I
to teach and preach. I have friends :
in all parties. I want to do all
the good I can to all the people I
can just as long as I can, and I be
lieve I can do that best by pro
claiming the gospel.
“I rest on the word of my Master
who neither favored nor fought the
Herodians of his time nor the an
ti-llerodians, but who declared i
‘My kingdom is not of this world.’ ” |
In the above interview there is
so much of plain, practical com
mon sense, and such an entire ab
sence of crankism and fanatical
zeal that we commend it to the
careful and conscientious perusal
of every reader of the News who
is desirous of being thoroughly in
formed as to the practical side of
the prohibition question.
Unlike Mr, Gambrell, the emi
nent Methodist is not “ready to .
fuse with anybody, or anything to
smash the saloon.’’ Mr. Candler
has not allowed his brain, mind,
soul and every thought to be forced
into on« channel, to the utter ex
clusion of every other interest. He
very rightly recognizes the fact
that to make prohibition a parti
zan issue will put to the test the
party loyalty of many who are
Democrats before they are prohi
bitionists, and in this way the
cause of prohibition will be hurt.
No one issue in Georgia is of
sufficient importance to overshad
ow all others. One of the very
first questions of importance to
any state is that its government
shall be vested in the hands of its
wisest, safest and most conserva
tive citizens. It is of vita 1 impor
tance to every tax payer that the
tax rate shall be as low as possible
and that the taxes collected shall
be spent judiciously and economi
cally. Our public school system
is another matter that claims the
attention of the ablest talent in
Georgia, for whatever its present
merit, it is yet far from being per
fect. And then there is the con
vict question, and other questions
the wise and just solution of which
is of equal importance to the one
question of prohibition.
As stated in these columns be
fore, whatever of good has come to
Georgia in a political sense has
come through the Democratic par
ty, and its record in this state for
the past twenty years is well nigh
unassailable. It has not done ex
actly everything that everybody
wanted hut it has placed Georgia
in the front rank. Under Demo
cratic rule about 95 out of the 137
counties in the state have been
placed on the side of prohibition.
Over a million and a quarter dol
lars is expended each year on the
public schools, which is expended
alike for the equal benefit of the
white and colored children. The
veterans of the late war, and the
widows of her dead soldiers have
been pensioned as liberally as the
finances of the state would permit.
Georgia is practically out of debt
and her credit is A 1, and no state
in the south has advanced more
rapidly in point of wealth and pub
lic enterprise. The Democratic
party claims the credit for *ll of
this and is justly entitled to it.
Now will the thoughtful, conser
vative Democrats of the state, even (
though they are prohibitionists,
abandon the party that has con
served their every interest, in the
doubtful hope of winning on the
one issue of prohibition? Shall
all other interests be side tracked
and this one alone given the exclu
sive right of way?
There are men in Georgia today
who are politically color blind.
They can see nothing under the
heavens, or in the depths beneath,
save the red light of the saloon.
All other questions of good, or of
evil, are practically not worth con
sidering, and are passed by. What
is wanted today is men who are
capable of taking a practical view
of the situation : men who have
not allowed their minds to run to
seed on any one question, but who
are broad enough and sensible e
nough to give to each issue its due
measure of importance and who
will strive for a just, wise and e
quitable adjustment of all public
questions. A wheel that is all on
one side will not run smooth. A
man with one idea will not make
a safe ruler.

trouble recently by omitting two

i The administration of Governor
: Atkinson for the past two years
I has been without a flaw. No taint
or corruption or jobbery has stained
his record, and the Democratic par
ty of Georgia goes before the coun
try on that record honestly, econ
omically and patriotically made
—Cedartown Standard.
Every political speaker who takes
the stump during this campaign
should emphasize Gov. Atkinson's
denunciation of lynching, and
plead for maintenance of law and
order. It is no affront to any com
munity to insist that the law shall
be allowed to take its course.—Sa

O, pshaw ; here it is again ! A

years.—Douglasville New South .
GEORGIA POLITICS.
The State House Majoriiy May
Reach 45,000.
Atlanta, Aug. 12. —Guessing at
the Democratic majority for the
state house ticket at campaign
headquarters today placed the fig
, ures at near the 45,000 mark. It is
’generally conceded that the prohi
! bition or dispensary plank in the 1
platform will greatly weaken the <
populist ticket in North Georgia, <
while it will stimulate the dem
ocrats in all parts of the state to !
greater activity, which means big- :
ger majorities.
Representative Dempsey, who ’
was one of the strongest advocates .
of the Bush dispensary bill in the ;
last legislature was at headquar
ters and was asked as to his posi
tion in the present campaign.
“I am for Atkinson and the dem- '
ocratic ticket,” said Col. Dempsey.
“I have been a prohibitionist all
my life, but I believe it can best'
be secured through the democratic
party. My party has given prohi
bition to four-fifths of th counties '
of Georgia, and I think will give it'
to all of them before many years;
but if prohibition must come '
through the populist party and by
the disruption of the democratic
organization, then you may count i
me against it.”
Col. Dempsey says the prohibi- L
tion plank will not help the pop
ulists in his part of the state, but'
will on the other hand be a source
of weakness to them.
An interesting fact leaked out'
today for the first time. In the!
local option contests in Coweta j
county, Gov. Atkinson worked for
and voted for local option. The
Governor is on record as favoring
local option as the proper solution
. of the question, but is understood
to be opposed to the proposed plan
to Tillmanize the state with a dis
pensary system.
, The present campaign promises
> to furnish many peculiar develop
’ rnents.
’ Hon. Mose Wright, of Rome, has
’ predicted an overwhelming defeat
I for his brother, and has promised
‘ to carry Floyd county for democ
’ racy by over 1,000 majority, and
tendered his services to the demo
cratic state executive committee to
. stump the state for the democratic
’ ticket.
> Dr. Candler, if indications
; count for anything, will be warmly
and picturesquely roasted by the
prohibitionists for taking his stand
in favor of democracy and against
the fusion.

MENLO, GA.
Some of Rome’s brightest young la
dies havo been visiting Menlo. Miss
Blanche Wyatt, Miss Maud Morris, and
others, spent several very pleasant days
here and on the mountain.
Some of Menlo’s young men seemed
to take quite a liking to the young la
dies, only to regret their departure. It
seems as if there was some inclination
to a closer unity offered itself to the
young men; doubtless without any vis
ible effect. Why could we not
keep them with us, to cheer and bless
some of our old bachelors? We are
suie Messis Gilbert and Story offered
their good looks and ages as forcibly as
could be brought to bear before their
shrine.
And they hope that the girls will soon
return that they may pul before them
the sadness of living alone.
May the angel of peace guard their
many nights of dreamy sleep. Cosy.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
’he oar. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness caus
ed by catarrh that cannot be cur
ed by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by the 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 free 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
j who favors the same.
i Education is the hope of the
! state, therefore I am in favor of a
liberal support of the public
schools.
I oppose the presentronvictsys
tem as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As the price of the products of
’abor has decreased and the pur
chasing power of money has in
creased and I deem it just and
right that fees and salaries be re
duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county lam very respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
