Three young American’s at Ris

tempting to institute a fourth of
July celebration happened to •- very
painful accident. The party was
composed of two Watts boys aged
ten and twelve years, and. Churl ay
Dixon about 14 years old.
Possessing themselves of a lot
of Dynamifc caps, and some fuse
tney proceeded to the woods to
have a big time. One of the caps
exploded prematurely tearing two
lingers and a thumb off for young
Dixon and pretty near scaring the
life out o! the other two boys. The
wounds were dressed by Drs. Rus

TRENTON, GEORGIA, FRIDAY, MARCH, 29, 1889.
V REASONS IOR OUR POLITi
■ cal ’(Opinions.
I am for prohibition, because
I hardly kno;.v'why, but I am for
j Temperance in any form and pro
j hint non is on the side of Tempe
rance and run by the Temperance
' people. Whisky Las nev' j r hurt
cm;- rcc y, i ".it I look around me

• >•: n tanned t>v this great fy oik
j- ,n<‘,vi race, and as pto-f
; ia'biiieu «tom- not prohibit the use
lof tobacco in any form so tha*. 'it
: requires no great sacrifice on my
i part, I can conscientiopsjy express
i myself as a strong advocate of r.
hibitjpn,
I ai» an anti-Prohibition ; . '
caqse I hardly know why but! am
i u braid of new things and ahm -
stick to the old ruts marked out by
I our forefathers. It is a tribute of
respect we owe to their memory-,
id.sides Prohibition does npt pro- [
i Dibit, and / never did believe in
half doing a thing. Of eoqr&a!
whisky is an evil thing, and it I;
had all there in the world, and •
and all that Mill be on the banks!
of t he Mississippi I would not lies-;
date one moment about sweeping I
it in ; but it is not there and never I
will be, so that settles the matter
with me.
I am a Democrat, because I hard
ly know why but nearly all well
informed people aro Democrats,
au.d as I never studied very much
about politics and don't fully un
derstand what is meant by the term
Democracy I must depend on those
whom I believe to be able to direct
mo aright. Besides nay father has
always voted Democratic and he
is. top much confirmed in his opin
ions to change at this late day, and
it would not look well to see one
house sc divided.
I am a Republican, I can’t ex
actly know why, but they have a
majority pn their side and I always
make it a point to be with the ma
jority; and if every body would act
in the same way there would be
iess contention,.
It is very clear to my mind since
1 studied the matter over that I
am for the Blair Bill. You need
not question me for I only heard
one side of the question and I
don’t think there could be any
thing said on the other side to
change my mind, so I am stead
fast in my convictions. Besides I
believe in taking all one can get
lot the consequences be what they
may.
I am against the Blair Bill be
cause I herrd some one say it was
a ‘political dodge.” The part}
was tpo busy to explain what they
meant by that expression so I am
in the dark some-what; but I haye
the greatest confidence in their
opinions and am willing to be
guided by them.
lam for High License l:*. reuse
public opinion is incline a i: mat
direction and a person is u. crank
who would try to argue against
public opinion. But should the
scale turn on the other side I am
not so obstinate as not to move
with the currant.
lam against High License; why
shouldn’t I, when with Low License
one can buy a bonnet or hat for
half the price now paid. Since
the aim of life is to eat, drink,
dress and be merry, it behooves us
to put down fhi» horrid law which
so dist irbs domestic felicity.
lam for Woman’s Rights. In
the first piece women have been
trodden under foot long enough
and kept back in the kitchen toil
ing for man. There are thous
ands of women in our free America
skimping themselves and econo
mizing in ev my way so that their
husbands may appear in company
and look like other men; when
she is able mentally to take his
place even if it is to * o to Congress
and help tc make laws. Now I
believe it is time for a change to
come, time for mon to don cook
aprons and walk into the kitchen
and cook, scrub and wash dishe
■ and let pc ir tired, over-worked wo
men have a rest. Now don’t sirn
; per about strong minded women ;
jif you had been cooped up in the
;kitchen all your life you would be
i strong minded foe. hay a woman
can’t cK-ke lawn ; wann van expect
'her to cook a dinner without "ow
v.ood and have it ready jiyit a' the
j time you in ay happen to 'v.int it,
r I a -» aii. s*. Vo m an’a Rigid.*
’and 1 think you ail nil: * rree with
-me when you consider the matter. 1
iTake for instance our own United
States looked upon by every nation
with the greatest consideration and
;be pride of all our hearts. Who
v ade it what it is? Did wo
' l -• Whq f fight, and suffered
a.- • . ed and died that we the },eo
piii of the U, 8. might be relieved
from tqe oppression of Great Bri
tain? Did women? Nay verily.
This government then rightly be
belongs to men they have earned
if by great.sacrifice, and now have
women a right to gfcj to the front
and sav how it shall be govarened?
Would it he right? Would it he
just? Besides doing well is hard
to be;;.'. The men arc getting on
very well with government affairs;
and I dare sav*should any weighty
political question co,vie up where
they think woman’s help would hi
of any advantage to them, they
will come up like men, and make
their requests known ; at least they
have never failed so far to show
their faco whop anything was want
ing. And womens brain will be
sufficiently hardened puzzling over
crazy ps ten-work to tackle almost
anythin^.

I wouldn’t tell ev ry body you
needn’t mention it, but I flunk wo
men can afford to give men a little
the advantage and then be on equal
basis.

“Steady emplyment and better
wages!” Such was the promise,
made the working me:i before the
election by protect! in orators and
monopoly hirelings. The ten thou
sand men and boys thrown out of
employment in the Pennsylvania
coUeries, with starvation staring
them in tho face, will now have am
ple time for reflection upon the i
emptiness of tin se promises and
the deceit and hypocrisy of men
which made them .
Shut downs, reductions of wages,
and strikes have been the order of
the day since the party of protect
ion was restored to power. No
more fitting opportunity than the
present for a study of the workings
of our unjust and burdensome sys
tem of taxation could possibly arise.
Barely, the humbug of protection
is on its last legs. The working
men can bo deceived no longer.
They bear the heaviest of burdens
and should be the first to cry out
against paying unnecessary war
taxes in times of peace,—Colum
