Just a few more weeks ’till the

Many good, honest democrats
throughout the county hove be¬
come disgusted with old party
methods, and will cast their votes
for the reform ticket. See if they
don’t.
Class legislation enabled Rocke¬
feller to realize twenty-five million
dollars in a rise of Standard Oil
stock. Somebody has it to pay,
and as a matter of course the peo¬
ple will have to “antie up.”
What is the difference between
a rooster, Uncle Sam, and an old
maid? The rooster says: Cock-a-
doodle-do. Uncle Sam says: Yan-
kee-doodle-do. The old maid says:
Any-old-dude’ll do.—Mercury.
The middle of the road popu¬
lists who met in Cincinnati on
September 6 renewed their former
declaration of principles and nom¬
inated a presidential ticket for
J900—Wharton Barker, of Penn¬
sylvania, and Ignatus Donnelly of
Minnesota.
The fellows who are howling
loud and long for reform and re¬
fuse to put in one cent toward the
support of their county or state
paper, certainly deserves sympa¬
thy, and makes us feel like repair¬
ing to our “den” and wail that the
way of the reform editor is very
t'ongli.
A writer in tho Swainsboro
Pine Forest, the democratic paper
of Emanuel county, says the un¬
fair methods of the democratic
bosses is driving hundreds of the
Emanuel county democrats into
the populist party. These same
methods are causing many honest
democrats to do the same thing in
this county.
The success ot the reform move¬
ment in Georgia depends almost
entirely upon the individual vot¬
ers of the party. Let each one
consider that victory depends up¬
on his own exertions and we can
win, and that easily. Don’t stand
back and wait for the “other fel¬
low” to lift the heavy end of the
log.
Mr S T. Walraven, of Paulding
eonnty, has abandoned the rotten
ship of modern democracy, and in
a card to the Dallas Herald, says:
“The scripture says ‘come out and
be ye separate from the world.’
This will apply to all persons who
are seeking alter the principles of
right and* justice. There is no
justice or right in the democratic
party under its present leadership.
A few—-just a few—little fellows
are circulating the regulation
campaign lies on some of the can¬
didates on the reform ticket. Gen¬
tlemen, such methods may succeed
for a while, but just as sure as God
lives and right rules, such a party
as stoops to such infamous meth¬
ods as that will be trampled un¬
der the feet of the great army of
tTie irresistable who ar% marching
oil to victory.
SEEING THE LIGHT.
We are proud to know that a
great many men in the ranks of
the democratic party are with us
in the coming campaign.
Now, we never have fought the
rank/and file of the old par^y, but
we have attempted to show up the
rottenness of the men who control.
We know there are as good and
true men in the democratic party
as there is in any party, but they
have been blinded with party
promises and pledges, and no one
can truthrully deny it. They have
waited and waited until forbear¬
ance ceasos to be a virtue.
They have supported men for
office who have told them that
they were in favor of reducing tax¬
es; and that they were well up in
economics, and understood all
about political economy. And in¬
stead of taxes being decreased, it
has, under a democratic adminis¬
tration, increased m the state of
Georgia, more than one hundred
per cent, since the republican ad¬
ministration of R. B, Bullock; not¬
withstanding the taxable property
of the state has doubled since 1879.
Now, these are facts that can¬
not be disputed. And your taxes
are to be higher this year than
ever before.
Will you still suffer yourselves
again deceived by these false lead¬
ers who, like Nero, engage in fid¬
dling and dancing while the chains
of bondage are being forged more
securely around your necks?
We thinlf not.
We believe the poople may be
fooled part of the time, but not all
the time.
The people’s party platform
promises and pledges a reduction
of this high rate of taxation with¬
out a reduction of the pensions or
common school funds, and we
know this can be done, and the
people are beginning to realize the
fact that they have been outrage¬
ously imposed upon.
funny, indeed.
There has been considerable
talk over in Calhoun county, Ala¬
bama, of the late election being
contested by the democrats.
This is funny, indeed!
A party that has saved itself
from so many defeats by fraudu¬
lent elections as the democratic
party has in that state, and that
has criticised so severely those
who have raised their voices in
protest against those who have
prosecuted contests should never
even talk of instituting a contest
of an election.
If thoroughly convinced that
fraud was practiced even to the ex¬
tent of men being counted in who
received but a minority of votes,
they should gracefully acknowl¬
edge that they have found oppo¬
nents who are able to out herod
Herod and take their medicine.
Democrats over in Alabama pro¬
posing to contest the legality of
an election, when the election
laws of the state were enacted by
the democrats for the specific pur*
pose of practicing fraud systemat¬
ically.
Well! Well!! What next?

WHY YOU SHOULD VOTE
FOR HOGAN.
Who are the business and polit¬
ical elements that are euppoiting
Mr. Candler? The gold and silver
people find in him all they need
The corrupt politicians, the users
of whiskey and money, the ward
heelers and ballot box stutters are
for him. The bankers and insur¬
ance companies, the railroad and
express companies, the bar-keepers
and wholesale whiskey men are
for Mr. Candler to a mar.; with all
other corporations and trusts in
the state.
Are the farmers’ interests the
same as these corporations? No.
If not the same, how can any one
bo a friend to both? Would a
friend -of the people vote in the
legislature, as Mr, Candler did to
allow the money lender to charge
any interest he could force the
people to pay? I think not. Would
a friend to the people oppose na¬
tional banks publicly, and private¬
ly favor them?
Would a friend of the farmers
ask the Alliance to endorse him
and when they refuse to do so call
them all kinds of vile names and
boast that he was one of the first
men in the state to begin the work
of their ruin? Would a friend of
the people take office at the hands
of a set of corrupt politicians?
Who have increased the taxes
from 25 cents in 1883 to 62.21 in
1898, with $109,000,000 more taxa¬
ble property in 1898 than in 1883?
The state tax in 1883 on real
and personal property was $750,-
000. In 1898 at 62.21 [on the $100
of real and personal property is
over $2,546,000. The difference in
taxes in 1883 and 1898 on real and
personal property is $1,796,000.
The state has borrowed this year
$200,000. And I suppose thfe state
will sell bonds as has been done
the last 3 years, about $240,000.
The state gets from the W. & A.
railroad $120,000 more than in
1883. Now r add to this the liquor
tax, poll tax, taxes on insurance
companies, and thousands receiv¬
ed from other taxes, and see what
you think of democratic economy.
The property owners of Georgia
pay between two and three millions
more taxes than in 1883. This is
the party Mr Candler says he hopes
will carry this state by 100,000
majority. And yet, he pretends to
be the friend of the tax payer.
What did Mr. Candler mean when
he said he was tired of the farmers
of Georgia paying taxes to educate
the negro? I think a correct in¬
terpretation is this: Mr. Candler
intends to see that the taxes on
the property of these corporations
shall be reduced from year to year
until, if possible, they will be free
from taxes and especially the
school tax. They tell you that
they have no children to school
and are opposed to paying this, as
well as all other taxes. Can this
state interfere w'iththe negro child
in the public schools without do¬
ing the same with the poor white
child? Certainly not. To illus¬
trate this: the democrats of Mis¬
sissippi said they were going to
disfranchise the negro, but in or¬
der to do that they had to disfran¬
chise more than one-third of the
poor white men; which they did.
They did the same in Arkansas and
Louisiana. It will be the same
with the public schools. The law
must and will apply'to both white
and black alike.
We all remember how the cor¬
porations of Georgia fought the
Glenn tax law. Mr. Glenn had to
follow them to the supreme court
of the United States before they
would pay their taxes.
Mr. Candler, as the candidate of
the corporations, trusts and cor¬
rupt rings of Georgia is to bo fear¬
ed in >re than any man who ever

asked for office in this state, and
should be opposed by the people
en masse, It means to the people
higher taxes, but a reduction ot
taxation on corporations.
Mr. Candler is reported to have
said that he never promised to re¬
duce taxes. If Mr. Candler is a
frien.l of the people, why has he
kept silent all these years while
the burdens of the people have
been so enormously increased?
These acts ar6 not the acts of a
friend, but of an enemy.
The main dependence of corpor¬
ations for sucee s is bribery and
corruption. Hence, they are al¬
ways found supporting corrupt po¬
litical parties.
There will be introduced in the
next legislature a bill to exempt all
corporations who build factories
from taxation. This has been done
in other states by the friends of the
corporations.
If you wani to escape the calam¬
ities of corporation rule in this
state vote for Mr. Hogan. He is
honest and is your friend.
Mr. Hogan is opposed to bar¬
rooms. Mr. Candler is not.
Mr. Hogan is in favor of a re¬
duction of taxes. Mr. Candler
does not promise that.
Mr. Hogan is opposed to corpor¬
ation rule. Mr. Condler has the
support of every corporation and
trust in the state.
Mr. Hogan is the friend of the
people. Mr. Candler has done
nothing for them in the many
years he has been in office.
Mr. Hogan is a Christian gentle¬
man. Sam Jones says Candler is
a “cussin man.”
Mr. Hogan is in favor of a fair
ballot and an honest count. Mr,
Candler’s friends have among them
all the old corrupt heelers and bal¬
lot box stuffers of the state^
Mr. Hogan is opposed to the use
of whifkey and money in elections.
Mr. Candler says he was once “un¬
mercifully bled,”
Mr. Hogan is the nominee of the
people. Mr. Candler is the nomi¬
nee of the corporations and rings.
Vote for Hogan and relief.
