A Warning Not*.
The Democrats of the Second Con¬
gressional district have the most im¬
portant duty to perform next Tues¬
day, November, 8 , thoy have had in
twenty or twenty-five years. Thisfact
MUST be realized and they have
but a short time to do it in. The
best and only way to realize this im
portant question is for thorn to
COME OUT and cast a WHITE tick¬
et on the day of the election.
Mark the prediction of the Moni-
itor —Smith will contest the election
in order to get the $ 2,000 furnished
by the government to contest a Con¬
gressional election, if no more. It is
Republican custom, in such a case,to
count ehch nigger registered as a
vote for the Republican, whether he
voted or i o’, and to count only the
white votes cast, for the Democrats.
Thus it will be seen that it is in-
cumbeut on every Democrat, to do
his duty on next Tuesday, Nov., 8 ,
as the niggers throughout the dis¬
trict are well organized. Come out
wd vote for Griggs next Tuesday.
* If the better class of negroes of
this district wish to retain the re¬
spect of white people they will repu¬
diate Smith and vote for Hon, J. M
Griggs.
_
A Bigger in Congress would bo as
much out of place now as a single
huckleberry iu a pan of milk. But
why worry as none will go from the
Empire State of the South—Georgia.
Vote for Griggs next Tuesday.
You might rake hades with a fine
tooth comb and you couldn’t find a
more contemptible personage than
one who would vote for a nigger
for Congress when au honest, high-
toned, white gentleman is iu the race.
How would you like to sit in a leg¬
islative hall with a greasy, slobbering
nigger whose only claim on the peo¬
ple is that he is working for God,
when he or his cohorts insult the Dei¬
ty every time they mention His name
la favor.
Wilkinson, the conglomerate ex¬
cuse for a white man, who is run¬
ning for Congress in the 11th dis
trict, in opposition to Brantley, is no
more nor less than a political hobo, a
renegade from the Democratic party
seeking the support of niggers and
inciting thorn to oppose Democrats
generally. But even with all this
etigma upon him, he is actually bet¬
ter than any white man who would
vote for tho Rev. J. Esterhaozy
Smith who is running for Congress
in this district
Col. John F. Stone, of the Morn¬
ing News, throws this bouquet to the
country press: “Tho county weekly
is that county’s attorney in fact.
Let a detractor or abuser of that
eoonty arise and tho paper comes to
its defense. It is its legal and lawful
tepresentative in tho courts of public
opinion, faithful, pains taking and
over-watchful. I will guarauteo, to¬
morrow that if every citizou of this
oounty should, without waiting to
oee him, at once forward to your ed
Uor a dollar for a year’s subscription
tile poor devil would put every cent
thus secured into his plant, to give
you a larger and bettor paper.”
A preacher in politics is to bo lik¬
ened only unto a bull in a china shop.
He is entirely out of his sphere
But when it conies to a nigger
preacher runniug for offico against a
whit* man, it is very much like the
devil trjing to reign in a protracted
meeting. Without one fear of suc-
oeseful contradicton. wo assert that
os A rule, nigger preachers who con¬
fine themselves to preaching alone,
do not stand very high iu the esti¬
mation of those who really know
them, but when he adds politics to
his religious calling ho is about as
low down os a man can generally get
by land. At the present time our
national Congress is not polluted
with any .bu tiuui i h<t
South, and it behooves the Second
district of Georgia to see that she is
not represented either by a nigger or
a nigger lover.
Every white man in Clay county
should go to the polls on the 8th
and vote for Griggs, regardless of
party. This is not a question of
party, but is a duty that no white
man worthy of the respect of his
wife, daughter, mother or sister can
afford to negloct. We are called
upon to choose between an honorable
intelligent white man and an igno¬
rant nigger. Your failure to vote
for the white man is equivalent to
voting for the nigger. Shame to
him who errs.—Shady Dell corr.

Will Vote For Griggs*.
From the Albany Herald.
Editor O’neal of the People’s
Voice, Blakely, although a Populist,
gives notice that he will vote with
the Democrats in the Congressional
election on the 8 th of November.
He is not so blinded by party preju¬
dice but what he can see what his
duty is in the proseut political situa¬
tion in this district, and, seeing his
duty he has the moral courage to
como boldly to the front and dis¬
charge it.
Id his paper of the current week
Editor O’neal says:
Tho Editor of this paper expects
to do one thing now soon which ho
has not done before iu eight years.
On the 8 th of November we are go¬
ing to cast a Democratic ticket—a
ballot for Jim Griggs for Congress
over his sable-bued opponent, and
we trust that none of our readers
will stay away from the polls and
thus neglect their plain duty.
Did you ever notice that your lo¬
cal paper was without honor in its
own community? No matter how
well it may bo thought of outside of
its home town, there are always
plenty of embyo journalists there to
tell yon just what the editor lacks in
enterprise and ability. Yet if the
editor were to tell exactly what he
knows of these same embryo jour¬
nalists, thero would be a warm time
in that ancient municipality, and ho
does not refrain as much from fear
as from respect for his paper and
town.
The Congressional Situation.
The registration of whites and blacks
is nearly equal in Randolph connty.
The last days for registering, was taken
advantage of, principally, by the ne¬
groes. They seem to be organized and
aotive for Smith, the negro candidate
for congress. The white people, how¬
ever, feeling certain of Congressman
Griggs’ re-election are apathetic and
careless.
This condition of affairs ought not
to exist, and it may moan that Rau-
colph county, will, for tho first time in
her history, go for a negro candidate for
office. If the white people will awake
to the situation, Griggs, majority in the
county will be anywhere from 600 to
700, unless they are aroused, as we said
at the beginiug of this article, there is
danger of the douuty going for Smith,
the negro republican candidate. We
know that only an intimation of the
posibility of this result, is necessary to
rnako the good people of Randolph
county bestir themselves. Go to the
polls on tho socoud Tuesday in Novem¬
ber, and got your neighbors to go and
vote the demcratic ticket. Talk it from
uow 'till then, to everybody you meet.
Don't forgot.—Cuthbert Liberal-Enter¬
prise.
Hero is a shining example set by
Kansas. The town council of Hutch¬
inson, in that State, has passed an
ordinance against “Hot Time in the

tlo hum, sing, or bellow said tune, or
who shall play the notes thereof

flute, bass drum or any other musi¬
cal instrument, within tho city lim
its shall bo finod not loss than $1 48
nor more than $20, and confined 24
hours in the lookup, or as much lon¬
ger as the magistrate shall deem

considerihg this statement a true one
and the man a genuino object of charity,
gave him two dollars and sent him on
his way rejoicing. Mrs. A who had
been un eye witness to all this said to
Mr. A: “That man is not worthy of
that.” “How do you know?” inquired
Mr. A, in surprise. “Because his face
shows it,” was her reply.
