and class matter.
DEMOCRATIC TICKET,
For Senator 42nd District.
WESLEY SHROPSHIRE.
For Representative.
R. Y. RL’DICIL.
Be Just and Honest.
Thoro is enough of injustice
and brutal abuse in the pol
itics of those latter days to make
any ■nsitivo man hesitate before
asking the people for any office
within their gift.
Let us take the case of Gov. At
kinson for example. Coming into
office as Im did two years ago in
tlm face of very strong opposition,
and undm- a shower of unjust and
unfair criticism, his administra
tion has naturally been watched
with more than ordinary interest
by both friends and foes. Many
of those who opposed him pre
dicted that his administration
would boa failure and a discredit
to tlm state. Perhaps never be
fore has any governor of Georgia
lived so completely under the
white light of public scrutiny and
criticism. But what has his record
been?
Ho has succeeded in compelling
the banks to nay interest on the
state deposits, which brings into
the treasury each year about $15,-
000, mmugh to pay his salary five
times over. No governor of Geor
gia has over before attempted to
do this, yet his enemies charge
that it is "grand stand play.”
Some years ago Georgia en
dorsed the bonds of the Northeas
tern railroad. The road had been
bankrupt for quite a while, but re
cently it was sold and bought in
by the state, and since lias been
operated at a small profit over ex
penses, The business judgment
displayed by Gov. Atkinson in the
management of this matter has
been highly commended by some
of the best business mon in the
state, yet his opponents charge it
up as more “grand stand” work.
Gov. Atkuison has made a de
termined effort to suppress lynch
in Georgia, and in pursuance
idea Im recommended in
ag<> to tlm legislature that
“iven the power by law to
the commission of any
r sheriff in the state when it was
shown by good proof that he had
failed in giving proper protection
to the prisoners under his care,
and want to the extreme of recom
mending that the relatives of a
person put to death by a mob
should have tlm right to sue in
any county in state, for damages
in any sum not to exceed $5,000.
Mrs. Nob'es and her negro ac
complice, Gus Families, were found
guilty of tlm murder of Mr. No
bles. When Mrs. Nobles was re
spited from death in order to
further investigate the facts in the
case, Gus Fumbles was respited,
too. One was white and the other
black, yet before the law both
fared exactly alike.
Duncan, an Atlanta negro, was
found guilty of rape and sentenced
to death, but before the sentence
was executed new evidence was
discovered which showed beyond
the shadow of a doubt that the
negro was entirely innocent, and
Gov. Atkinson pardoned him. It
was simply a plain matter of duty,
wb re duty meant to save an inno
cent man from death on the scaf
fold. Yet for this one thing he
has be <n bitterly assailed and crit
icis *d By those who are seeking to
encompass his defeat at any cost
of h imr and truth.
F< r years past the abuses of the
convict lease system, and the cruel
treatment of the convicts, have
been matters of common talk
among the people, yet Gov. Atkin
son is the first governor Georgia
has h 1 that lias attempted any
reform along this line. He has
followed the remedies laid down
by law. and in the discharge of
’this plain duty, has antago-
nized a powerful element in Geor
gia politics, to-wit, the convict
lessees who are rich and powerful, j
and whose influence is wide spread (
and far reaching. When finally (
the lessees were convicted and ;
fined, and in one case the lease ;
contract annulled, they raised the .
cry that they were persecuted for .
political effect. They charged ,
that it was some more of Atkin- ;
son’s “grand stand" play. The
Populists have taken up the cr >
and it is now heard from one end
of Georgia to the other. Really,
doesn’t it look a little like the
Populist brethren were taking up
the cause of the convict lessee?
At least the Populists are endors
ing what the lessees say about it,
and seem just as anxious to defeat
Gov. Atkinson as they.
Why not be honest and fair?
Why not give a man credit for
duty honestly performed? Why
criticise a man for doing the very
things that the people want and
have demanded?
But unfair and unjust methods
will rebound on those who use
them, and Gov. Atkinson will be
re-elected by a much larger major
ity than two years ago.
•—-a ♦ •»
Moro often than not the man
who is constantly prating about
the “ring,” and about “machine
politics” is one who is so unpopu
lar personally that he can never
got into office; hence, he lays the
blame on the “machine” instead
of his own unpopularity, where it
rightly belongs. It has been the
custom for years to charge that
there was a political ring in Sum
mevville, when as a matter of tact,
the people of this town have al
ways been divided, politically. If
the marble Goddess of Truth
doesn’t faint every time one of
these blatant howling demagogues
gets up to speak, then it is because
she has been shocked past the
fainting point.
’ The “reform” party in South
Carolina seems to bo unsteady on
‘ its legs. Within the last two
weeks enough scandal and steal-
’ ing, in connection with the dispen
' sary system, has boon developed
to damn any party. The claim
■ that any real reform has boon ac-
• complished, that is of roal and
1 lasting benefit to the people, is a
• stupendous farce, and Tillmun’s
1 administration has been an injury
i to the state, rather than a benefit.
■ Let us hope that this sort of “ro
- form” won’t strike Georgia.
( It is really hard to believe that
General Evans is as wise a man as
Mr. Wright believes him to be, and
as good a man as Mr. Wright be
lieves him to be, and at the same
time supporting as bad a man f< r
governor as Mr. Wright believes
Mr. Atkinson to be, and opposing
for governor as good a man as Mr.
Wright believes himself to be. ’Tis
, strange, aye passing strange. — Ex,
Blackburn, of the Atlanta Coni
-5 mercial, “the original Cleveland
1 man,” made a determined effort to
1 get a job under the big boss, but
• Cleveland didn’t want him. Later
’ he wanted to run for congress with
1 the Populist endorsement, but the
’ Populists wouldn't have him. No
1 wonder the poor fellow*s liver is
! out of order.
John Temple Graves is another
[ disappointed office seeker. He,
also, was a very urgent applicant
before President Cleveland for a
, soft job, but he didn't get it. Mr.
, Cleveland is not wholly bad. In
the meantime Johnny Temple is
. going to reform the party so he
can get in.
An old farmer who lives near
; town, expressed surprise a day or
two ago when told that Seab
Wright was a candidate for gover-
' nor on the Populist ticket. He
excused his ignoronce. however,
' by saying that a farmer who kept
up with his work had no time to
keep posted as to Scab’s politics.
Some weeks ago an Arkansas
preacher, who was a gold bug, in
the midst of his sermon, remarked
that any man that didn't have any
, more sense than to support free
silver, ought to be pitched into
h—ll. He was nearly beaten to
death by a mob of his hearers, be
fore he left the pulpit.
We respect any man who is a
Populist from an honest convic
tion, but the man who will toady
to the Populists, or for that mat
ter, to any party, merely to get
into office is beneath the notice of
any self-respecting man.
Now is a good time to subscribe for
the News.
The Charge Refuted. ’
Since the inauguration of the
populo-prohibition campaign a
canard has been industriously cir
culated concerning the pardon of
Hinton by Governor Atkinson to
the detriment of the latter's char
acter. Those who are acquainted
with the facts in the case know
that Governor Atkinson would not
have pardoned a murderer on such
flimsy grounds as have been alleged
in the statement.
But for the benefit of people who
are not conversant with the facts
we give below the statement oi
two leading Georgians w hose tes
timony over their own signatures,
goes to show’ that the whole publi
cation was gotten up simply to in
fluence the minds of the negroes
against a man who has proved him
self to be one of the best friends
they ever had in the gubernatorial
chair, W. Y. Atkinson. Here is the
statement of Messrs. Reese and
Colley:
“We see in the reports of speech
es by populist candidates frequent
references to the pardon l>y Gov
ernor Atkinson of R. L. Hinton.
Those references, if correctly re
ported, do a great injustice} to th<
governor. We were on opposite
sides of the case tried in the supe
rior court of Wilkes county in
which Hinton’s testimony was used
and in which his connection with
the murder was alleged to have
been shown. We submit as tin
facts in the case, first, all the par
ties defendant, including R. L. Hin
ton were populists. We learn it
hus been alleged he was a demo
crat. Second, the defense, as rep
resented by Mr. Watson, among
others put up several witnesses to
prove that Hinton had nothing to
do with the homscide and argued
with great persistence that he was
innocent of the crime.
“Third, Mr. Watson had full no
tice of the application for Hinton’s
pardon. He had all the facts of
the trial before him; he knew that
one of the state’s counsel had prom
ised to endeavor to see that Hintor
. should be pardoned if he told the
truth and aided in the conviction
of the guilty parties. If it was
an outrage to release him as a cit
izen of the state Mr. Watson could
, have brought to the governor’s at
i tention facts that he knew of which
; would prevent the pardon.
“Fourth, the petition for Hin
, ton’s pardon was signed indiscrim
• inately by democrats and popu
lists.
“Finally, it is a faqt that this
prosecution was a determined ef
’ fort upon the part of a white dem
-1 ocrat, John Logan, to protect his
colored tenants and unearth who
ever was the perpetratar of the
crim?. The custom of offering par
don to one who will turn state’s ev
’ idence and testify against his ac
' complice is one allowed whenever
’ the common law is the rule of the
country. The governor only fol
. lowed this rule of law in granting
i this pardon. M. P. Reese,
, F. 11. Colley.”
Every Democrat is expected to
do his duty.

There is more catarrh in this sec

posed to be incurable. For a great

Col. W. R. Rankin.
Col. W. R. Rankin, of Calhoun,)
addressed a small audience in Sum
mervil’e last Wednesday. His
coming had not been advertised,
therefore the gathering was small.
Ho intended to speak at Trion
Wednesday night lint the crowd
did not materialize. Col. Rankin
is a clever man, personally, but he
has made a big mistake in leaving
the Democratic party and he ought
to realize that there is no room
now for an independent candi date.
Judge Maddox’s Speech.
Judge John W. Maddox address
ed the people at the courthouse
last Saturday and bad a crowded
house. Col. Livingston had pro
mised to be present but unexpec
tedly was called away whore his
services were more urgently need
ed. It was the universal opinion
of these present that Judge Mad
dox made the speech of his life.
There was little attempt at oratory
and there was not a great deal of
applause, for as one old gentleman
evpressed it, there was no chance
for any waste of time. The ad
dress was a masterly effort, clear,
concise and logical, and was per
haps thebest exposition of tho fi
nancial question ever heard in
Summerville. The speaker hold
his audience spellbound until the
close of his address, when dozens
and scores of his friends gathered
around him to offer their congrat
ulations. We believe that Judge
Maddox will carry more than the
regular party vote in Chattooga,
as he has a host of friends who
will vote for him on account of
old personal friendships. Unless
all signs fail he is a dead sure win
ner in the coming contest.
The Candidates.
The town was full of candidates
last Saturday and there was a uni
versal hand shake. There may be
some unpleasant feeling engender
ed in a political campaign but then
it has its good features also. For
instance, it is promotive of that
feeling of brotherly kindness that
is so pleasant to see. To the on
looker last Saturday it would ap
pear as if a band of brothers, who
| had long been separated, were
holding a family reunion. But
. while we guy the boys a litt’e, we
also extend them our sincere sym
pathy, for the writer has been
j there a time or two himself, and
has found out that the man who
Igoes into politics earns a good deal
more than he ever gets.
“Dust to Dust.”
Speakinjymf candidates we heard
a gentlemaq say Monday that
the reason fcr the terribly dusty

that the small army of office seek

and keep the roads cut up so that
the dust is almost kifi?e deep in
places. “Why,” said he, "I haven’t
seen anything like it since the fall
of the Chickamauga battle, just
33 years ago.” Alas, poor candi

Woman in Politics. —The casual
reader might glance at my subject and
conclude that this column contains
pleas for all sorts of woman’s rights,
and think himself justified in passing
it by. If he has gotten this far, how
ever, I wish to inform him that 1
d in’t want any rights, myself—not
this week, at least—and 1 am inclined
to let my sisters work out their own
s dvation along this line. 1 merely
want, now, to enjoy the comfortable
p ivilege of a non-combatant—that < f
B Hing on the fence and criticising the
others. Everybody knows what that
is for they have all been there; some
only once or twice but others so often
that the fence is worn slick and easts a
r flection on everything in sight.
This is a very into; esiii g year polit
ically. I am sure the oldest inhabi
tant, e - e i, las never seen one more
exciting. Its feverish agitation is felt
every where, and even the interest of
women seems magnetized by it. This
' newly awakened interest on the part
of women may arise, however, from
I the probability of their becoming po
litical factors soon. If this be the
i case, before she settles her most be
coming bonnet more firmly on her
head and sails into.the fray, fair wo
: man might indulge in a moment of
i profitable reflection. She lias a vague |
I notion of reforming politics, I believe.
Well, it is something like managing a
man—one must thoroughly understand
the subject in hand in order to accom
plish desired results. The average
woman knows next to nothing about
politics; hei knowledge of affairs is a
surface one, and in spots at that. She
will get her opinions at second hand
from the particular man belonging to
her, and what sort of reform will it be
wheir x she is tied to men’s political
apron strings?
1 fancy our conclusions are tinged
by individual e v perience, so possibly
my o\\n quest for political knowledge
may have given rise to those views.
It occurred to me not long since that
it was every woman's duty to take a
lively interest in the affairs of her
country, and to be well informed as
possible. The most convenient foun
tain head of political wisdom happened
to be the senior editor, to whom I
confided my yearning for information
and begged that ho-employ an hour or
two in telling me what he knew about
it. I will pass over what he said just
then, but I have discovered for myself
since, that one does not acquire
knowledge thus quickly and easily.
The ways of the wily politician are be
yond my ken and myself esteem shrinks
from the rude prick of the campaign
liar. After conscientiously wading
through columns of political “leaders’’
I am aghast at the extensive ignorance
■ manifest—on my part. I have not
even cut my teeth, politically; I am a
baby. I have heard quite a lot about
political “rings” and I fancy one of
those Would be the very thing to cut
one’s political teeth on. I will ask
the senior editor to buy one for me.
I am a great admirer of the domestic
woman, for the woman who governs a
household wisely is greater than she
who taketh a city by storm with a po
' litical speech. At least she ought to
be greater for she has infinitely more
■ work and worry than the other. But
• it seems rather foolish to talk about
the glories of her “sphere” to a wo-
; man who rocks the cradla, and inci
dentally cooks and scrubs and sews all
the days of her troubled life. She
may rule the world all right enough
but the woman whose time is taken up
with drudgery to the exclusion of all
’ the charming giaces of mind and body
' that would make her own little world
' beautiful and comfortable, doesn’t
■ think much of her qceenship. Os
' course there are lots and lots of wo-
■ I men who have charming homes m
: which to play the model wife, but
there are others. I haven’t any sta
tistics by me, but it seems safe to say
that more than one-half of the world’s
■ women—including heathen women,
who are Dolorously sans rights—arc
domestic drudges. Os course this is
all right; these women live the life
they were born into without saying
much about it. Only don’t talk to
them so much about the beauties of
their tread mill, which you designate
, I a “sphere.”
• I It took men a long time to discover
that the earth was a spherical body
suspended in space by wonderful
laws, and I suppose it will take some
of them another long time to find out
that this same sphere is woman’s
I sphere. This looks like a woman’s
rights plea in spite of the assurance
made in the beginning, but several
days have elapsed since I began this,
and I have had time to change my
mind. But lam not inconsistent;
this means something broader than
mere political ••rights.” Why. to be
a mother, a woman should possess the
deepest wisdom and broadest knowl
edge of all the world. The woman
who is an intellectual baby would bet
ter make political speeches than to
rear babies. When the blind lead the
blind they both wander in darkness.
It doesn’t matter much about the poli
ticians for they are alieady in the
dark, but I am heartily in favor of
giving the babies a chance. E-<. :

I question —Would you advise that
i seed corn be selected in the field, or is it
just as well to select the tine ears after
the corn is housed? My plan has al
ways been to keep boxes or barrels
handy, and in taking the feed corn out
of the crib, to reserve the very fine ears
by throwing them into these receptacles.
Answer. —In selecting seed corn we
should reserve not only the finest ears,
but these should be taken from the best
stalks. After the corn is gathered and
thrown into the crib wo, of course, can
form no idei o:' tio stalks on which the
best ears were grown, and therefore it
is the safest plan to sele.-.t the seed from
the field as the crop is gathered. This
may bo done by going through the field
first selecting the fined ears' n the most
I vigorous and ,1 ••.■■•!o:r-.l -talks. The
i ears should not only be largo, but well
I formed also>—that is the sama er nearly
i the same size from tip to tip—well filled
at the ends as well as in the middle, the
cob small n I tho grains wedge shaped,
1 that is n>u" i smaller at tho bottom than
at the top. If net practi<: ible to gather
the seed coni first, then have a box in,
i the wagon, and as tho cron is gathered
< throw tin* ■- ■‘.•tel ears in this. If you
do not m?. : . the seiectim yourself
don’t tin-. i to th ■ judgment of the or
dinary farm hand- delegate it t> some
! one .a-- •• difcriminatioa you can
c-. c.id. In the matter of seed coni,
1 farmers, as ru’o, <!■> not realize the im
i porta : ■ c u-.-fii': n lection. By actual
test it'. «o .n shown that good seed
will m lie a difference of several addi
timnl bu-h; ■- to the aero. To keep up
this advantage, the seed should be se
lected every year, and not once in three
or four years. In making selections se-
■ lect from stalks with two ears.—State
