in response to the requerts of my friends I
Will miike the race for the State Senate from
tlrts the 3811) Sena torial district I ask the sup¬
port of the votersof myself, l’o)k. elected, Paulding and Haral¬ the
son, and pledge if to rentier
people, of this district and state, the best ser¬
vice In iny power. John 1. Fullwood.
A true democrat is one who
places principle above party.
We have figured the whole thing
out, and we’ve come to the con¬
clusion that it is far bettor to be
a “natural born editor” than it is
a natural bora damphool.
The state campaign is warming
up. Everywhere the populists for are
putting out full tickets county
officers and members of the legis¬
lature. Tho supposed corpse doo6
not act corpse-like at all.
The senate’s investigation into
the matters incident to the claim
of the Methodist church, south,
has brought to the surface some
highly interesting facts about fees
that go to lobbyists for the work
they are supposed to do in the in¬
terest of special legislation.
The only excuse that hundreds
of men in Georgia can give for sup¬
porting Candler instead of Hogan
for governor this year will be “I
am a democrat.” If they only
knew what that democracy really
meant they would blush to think
of voting against Hogan.—J-ack-
eon Economist.
Uncle Pam pays the army chap-
Ltins $125 per month. The boys
who do the fighting get $13. We
would like some one to explain
how it is that one preacher is
woith ten fighting mou—or better
still, what earthly use there is for
him at all?
McKinley’s proclamation calling
on tho people to go to church and
solemnly thank the Almighty God
for the victories He has given us
over the Spaniards is another step
in the direction of church and
stateism. That sort of thing is
getting pretty thick.
The people of the United States
don’t object to a reasonable carrying navy
in proportion to our trade.
If our carrying trade is to be no
greater after tho war than before,
two old gunboats will be enough.
If American railroads can boycott
independent ships off the sea like
they did the Lone Star line at Gal¬
veston, our carrying trade will
never amount to anything. Tho
people in the school houses must
be'eternally vigilant or eternally
damned.—Tcias Mercury
It gives us “that tired feeling”
to hear the politicians abuse a
man and toll of his perfidy and
rascality, and then begin to boot-
lick him as soon as he is nominat-
ed. If a man is unfit for public
office before he is nominated, his
nomination by any political party
does not make him any better.
Wo admire n manly man, but we
have no respect for one who will
fell his conscience, soul and body
to a ]H)litical party for a mess of
pottage.—Woodburry Messenger.
No. we are after leaving that
boycotting business altogether
alone. We harbor no such an¬
archistic spirit as that, and we are
glad wo do not, for we think we
possess a little more “boss sense”
than to undertake such a thing,
especially with our best friends
and among the best men in our
party. We cannot live without
our friends, and have failed to run
over anyone in Buchanan, especial¬
ly in the newspaper business, who
impressed us tin t they were so
powerfully able to boycott very and
many men. > hink twice
speak once is our motto, and some-
*ol snsak at alt.
OUR POSITION.
We have no mud to throw on
any of the democratic candidates
now offering for olfico at the
hands of their party.
They are all good men so far as
we know, and have, without a sin¬
gle exceptiou, treated us most
gentlemanly since our short stay
among them.
Our tight has been, is. and will
ever continue to be, against those
who are trying to pull down to
their own filthy and infamous
level the candidates and loaders of
the populist party in Haralson
county.
But the old saying “give a fool
rope enough and ho will hang him¬
self” is certain to come true—that
is judging from what conservative
and reliable democrats have to
say about tho howls and pitoous
wails of the “man about town.”
Wo repeat again that we do not
chargo the honest democrats with
all this uncalled for mud slinging,
and our contemporary will never
be able to array us against the
democratic candidates to such an
extent as ho has already gone in
regard to our ticket. .
Such fool sayings as appear in
the “man about town’s” articles
will do more to strengtnen the
populist ticket than anything else,
so long as the populists havo sense
enough not to indulge in tho same
little filthy methods as has been
practiced by the Banner Messenger.
Mud slinging! f Judging
what we hear the true, honest
democrats say, the best sling they
could make would he to sling cer-
tain would-be-democratic-used-to-
be-alliance-papers out of their par-
ty, but there is no place else for
such papers and articles. The
pops don’t want them, for they
tried several of the gang who write
as the “man about town.”
AS TO MR. POPE.
Tho Banner Messenger this week
says: “No one has answered yet
for tho removal of Mr. Pope from
their ticket after having been nom¬
inated. If that was no trick, I re¬
peat my question, what was it.”
Now, sonny ;let us explain even tc
the understanding of one so dull of
comprehension as you : Mr. Pope’s
name was put in nomination for
deputy clerk. Mr. Biggers got ten
votes more than did Mr. Pope, and
was declaired the nominee. No,
Mr. Kip, Mr. Pope was not nomi¬
nated as you.say, but you and your
cohorts had it in mind before the
populist convention to play on tho
prejudices of our defeated candi¬
dates, and you had to make and
tell a falsehood in order to make it
work. Mr. Pope has seen and ex¬
pressed the littleness of the whole
scheme.
The reforms is incomprehensible
to tho average politician. The fe-
former lives for others; the politi¬
cian for himself. The reformer
sympathizes with the down-trod¬
den and oppressed ; the politician
uses his weaker brethren as more
stepping 'stones to positions of
power. The reformer is actuated
by a spirit of love; the politician
by that of sordid selfishness. The
reformer thinks for himself; no
one can force their opinions upon
him. He seeks to find the truth,
for in the truth he sees the, salva¬
tion of his race,
I THE BIG BOND STEAL.
Wo are told on tho authority of
the nows dispatches that if there
was over any question about the
success of the now 3 per cent war
loan, it has been set at rest by tho
way in which subscriptions are al¬
ready beginning to come in at the
treasury department.
The assurance of tho success of
the loan, however, has been made
absolutely certain, eu it is said, by
two propositions, each covering the
entire present issue of $200,000,000
The subscription of the National
city bank, the Central Trust Co.,
and Vermilye it Co., made the day
the loan was opened, was for any
part of tho total issue that should
not be taken by the public.
Another proposal was formulat¬
ed, the same covering the entire
amount. It came from J. Pier¬
pont Morgan and a number of as¬
sociates.
Tho subscribers to the syndicate
are as follows:
.T. P. Morgan & Co. of New York
$20,000,000, Harvey Fisk Sons of
New York $20,000,000, Mutual Life
Insurance Co. of New York $20,-
000,000, Kidder, Peabody & Co. of
Boston $20,000,000, United States
'Trust Company of New York $10,-
000,000, Drexel & Co. of Philadel¬
phia $10,000,000, A. Belmont & Co
of New York $10,000,000, Kuhn,
Loeband Company of New York
810,000,000, National Park bank of
,New York $10,000,000, National
bank of commerce of New York
$10,000,000, American Exchange
bank of Now Vork $10,000,000,
First national bank of Cincinnati
&10,000,000, the Pennsylvania com¬
pany for insurance on lives and
granting annuities $10,000,000.
On behalf of this syndicate J.
Pierpont Morgan subscribes at par
for the $200,000,000 or such part
thoreoj as may not be subscribed
by tho general public.
The treasury department, regards
the spirit shown m the proposi¬
tion “as particularly praisworthy.”
Why certainly. The government
has something like $100,000,000 of
gold in the treasury that it don’t
know what to do with. True, it
might use some of it in defraying
the war expenses, but that would
obviate the necessity for a bond
issue. And what is the gold re¬
serve for, if not for Pierpont 3Ior-
gan to draw upon when the secre¬
tary of the treasury decides that a
bond issue is necessary? Where
will this syndicate got the gold
from if they do not get it from the
treasury? Two hundred - million
bonds are to no sold and $200,000,-
000 m treasury notes will be pre¬
sented at the treasury for them.
They will be non-taxable. Buying
bonds is a good way to invest one’s
surplus capital, for while it is earn¬
ing interest, it is not taxed. The
only way the government has to
get gold is by taxes on imports.
These taxes tho consumers must
pay. But why should the consum¬
er be taxed to furnish gold for the
government to turn over to rf bond
syndicate to buy its bonds with?
The government has the gold m
the first instance. Then why
should it be necessary for the gov¬
ernment to pass this gold over to
the bondholder, then ask him to
pass it, back again when a note on

the government is given to him
bearing 3 percent interest and to
run for twenty years, which is
practically what the government
does when it permits ihe bondhol¬
ders to present government paper
money at the treasury and demand
gold for it, that he may give it
back to the government in ex¬
change for bonds? What has the
bondholder done to merit this
special favor? Has he been any
more patriotic than the rest of us?
How has he served the government
that the latter in return feels call¬
ed upon to lend him its gold, and
in addition pay him 3 per cent in¬
terest to pay it back again? Usual¬
ly business men do not do busi¬
ness that was. But it’s different,
however, with the government.
Secretary Gage takes in the peo¬
ple’s money and gives it to Pier-
pout Morgan. Pierpont Morgan
pays it back to the gove nment
and the secretary gives him a note
on Uncle Sain to run twenty years
bearing 3 per cent interest. This
is called financiering the war. The
Mercury calls it robbery, hut the
rnudsiller, however, will pay the
bill, and Pierpont Morgan & Co.
will he the richer by several mil¬
lions at the national expense.—
