Como out on tho side of the
people.
Now for a long pull, a strong
pull, and a pull all together.
Use nothing but fair means in
the election noxt Wednesday.
Again we would rise to remark
that a man who would stuff a bal¬
lot box would unstuff a pocket
book.
Capt. J. J. Beall would make
Haralson county a good represen¬
tative. He is an honest man, and
one who has legislative training
to add to good, hard common
sense for qualification.
We dare any man to bring a
charge against any populist candi¬
date that can bo sustained by proof.
No, you can’t do it gentlemen.
They are of irreproachable char¬
acter, every one of them. And
their bonds will make them re¬
sponsible, if they are not already
so.
It is the Christian duty of every
populist, and every lover of good
government to see to it that our
entire ticket is elected next
Wednesday. This ern be done if
We. will put our shoulders to the
wheel and work side by side like
brothers—like men who are deter¬
mined to succeed.
'* It will be a great day for the
people when every school house in
Georgia can show'up a man with
nerve enough to expose political
tricks and economical frauds and
the crooked records of politicians
of party rings. When that day
comes the people will enjoy the
fruits ot their toil.
The very people who took A, E.
Hix into their bosoms and “thaw-
ed” him out when he first came to
this place are the same people that
are today being ridiculed and mis¬
represented in every issue of his
pap«rr. Brother, stop and consid¬
er a moment before you cast your
ballot next Wednesday.
Funny how one can produce a
good living and a large surplus
for a half dozen idlers, yet for
himself he can hardly make both
ends meet; and when the boss
idler witholds his permission to
allow him to work, what is there
left for the poor fellow to do but
to suffer? It is getting high time
the- people were putting on their
thinking caps and voting for their
wives and little ones.
Comrades, we conscientiously
ask you to support our state tick¬
et, especially Hon. John I. Full-
wood for the senate and Capt. J. J.
Beall for representative. We
know Mr. Full wood to be an A hon¬
est, truthful upright gentleman,
and will, if elected, serve this dis¬
trict with credit; and as to Capt.
Beall, all the people of Haralson
know' him, and they know to be
an upright Christian gentleman,
and if elected will serve the people
faithfully and well.
VOTE YOU It CHOICE.
The people of Haralson county
will go to the pulls next Wednes¬
day and express their* choice for
state and county officers, and when
they have spoken the candidates
should he satisfied, and those who
are elected we are sure will be, and
the others ought to be, from the
fact if the majority of the
say by their ballots that they
don’t want you to serve them, you
should be satisfied and contented.
We have heard fraud, ffraud,
until we are sick and tired. Work
honestly and earnestly for your
success, and then if you are de¬
feated take it as the will of the
people.
We recommend to the people of
this county the populist ticket,
and if you see fit to elect the men
on it we assure you that as officers
of public trust they will know no
populist, no democrat nor no re¬
publican, but will serve all the
people alike; if they don’t do this,
and any one will show us that they
don’t do it we will help to defeat
them two years hence.
Fellow citizens, we earnestly ask
your support.
VOTE AS YOU PRAY.
Ho you pray?
If so, do you vote as you pray?
Y r ou pray that this ‘‘earth may
he as the kingdom of heaven,” Do
you vote that way? Or do you
vote to make it “as your party
wants it?” Do you ever think of
these things? Politics is nothing
but religion in motion. It ought
always be Christianity m motion.
Here is a man who owns a rich
and well improved farm. lie has
boys to help him cultivate it. All
are intelligent and industrious, and
the farm produces abundantly,
yet they make no money. While
thousands are starving for the ne¬
cessities of life they receive for
their products less than the cost of
producing them. It is said that,
it is on account of overproduction.
How can this be when millions
are going hungry, who are willing
to exchange their labor for some¬
thing to ea*? It is one of the
devil’s lies—this cry of overpro¬
duction. It is for the want of a
better system of laws regulating
our distributive system. We are
the victims of class laws and class
legislation, and we must begin to
right these wrongs here in our
own county.
Pray tell us what kind ot reli¬
gion is that which asks God to do
a thing that you wont do your¬
selves? Do you want this “earth
to be as the kingdom of heaven?”
Then why not vote for it? Why
not go to work and help to make
it that way? What’s the use to
sit down and ask God to do a thing
that you are voting and working
against all the time? God has
done and is doing all He should do
to bring about this condition. He
gives us bountiful crops, good
health, and a country with, won-
derful resources. He has given us
willing hearts and strong hands.
Ho makes the earth yield its rich
treasures in response to our in¬
dustry. If we take the products
of our toil and lay it at the feet of
a few men who have laid claim Oil
the “earth and the fullness there¬
of” it is not God’s fault. But God
will hold us responsible for every
act of our lives, If our vote brings
privation, suffering and starvation
we will and ought to answer for it.
Do you pray? Then don’t pray
in one direction and vote in an¬
other.
Better be a “hireling” in the
camps of populism, than a traitor
to the men who holds the plow!
At least this is the way we’ve got
it figured out. Other people may
iook at it different.
SLAVES TO PARTY.
IIow many men voto for a life¬
time with the same narty without
investigating the merits of any
other party?
To voto is to ratify certain pol¬
icies advocated by the party whose
ticket is voted. How can any man
know that he is voting in accord¬
ance with his convictions, unless
he investigates and finds out what
each party seeks to accomplish,
A vote is a sacred right.
It should be cast with intelli¬
gence and patriotism, with the
full meaning and effect of it un¬
derstood before cast.
A party is merely an organiza¬
tion to represent certain policies
and purposes, and no man can
perform his duty to his country
and himself without investigating
and rendering a decision at each
election on the issues involved in
that election. .
KEEP FIGHTING.
It requires more persistent ef¬
fort to face the foes which menace
our country from within than
without. Reform is always un¬
popular, and it is easier for most
natures to face bayonets and bul¬
lets than scorn and ridicule.
The battle with the foreign foe
is soon over, and we return victo¬
rious amid the acclaims of a grate¬
ful country, or at the worst, fall
defeated into the embrace of for¬
getfulness and death. But the
battle for right principles is a nev¬
er ending conflict; cue foe defeat¬
ed, another takes his place. And
yet what acclaim of grateful coun¬
try or plaudits of admiring crowds
can equal the consciousness of
duty done?
Comrades, fight on, the very best
people are with you! Whether in
the front among the swamps of
Cuba or at home among the peace¬
ful walks of life. Lose not sight
of the main issues. Uphold your
country and her logalPf constitut¬
ed administration in the hour of
trial against Spain, and, if need
be, against the world. But do you
also uphold these eternal princi¬
ples of truth, justice and humani¬
ty for which we are striving? Let
not the stern necessities of war
divert your minds from the sterner
necessities of the propaganda of
right principles—principles which
must be pushed to success if we
would preserve the republic and
procure for ourselves and our pos¬
terity that liberty and life we so
greatly desire.
Fight if neeessary to preserve
your country; but fight also to
make her worth preserving.
Men never toiled in the cotton
fields harder than they now toil
for a miserable pittance in the vast
coal fields, in absolute subjection
to the will of their masters, and
with no hope of relief save through
the portals of a death more mer¬
ciful than their brother man. A
mountain-mass of wealth hag been
produced, but the people have re_
mained poor. A handful of Heart¬
less schemers gather in with one
land the wealth produced by la¬
bor; with the other they sow pov¬
erty, suffering and tears. Three-
fourths of the wealth of the na¬
tion is in a few thousand pockets
—that is what has become of the
riches of the people.

Yes, Nickie, we are just as much
against “repeating, vote-buying,
bulldozing, intimidating and job¬
lashing” now as we were when we
first took charge of The Tribune,
and please don’t never^forget to re¬
member this fact!
A CARD.
There appears in this tveek’s
Banner an article from Mt. View
which tends to assail my character
as a public school teacher. I have
done the very best I could, and
the people as a rule seemed to be
perfectly satisfied; and the man
who wrote that article is too low
down in the estimation of honest
uprfght people to be spoken to
when met on the public highway.
No one but a dirty scoundrel would
do such a thing, and the editor
who allows such damaging stuff to
be printed in his paper is not a
wlnt better. E. II. Maxey.
IIow to Look Good.
Good looks are really more than skin
deep, depending entirely on a healthy
condition of all the vital organs. If the
liver is inactive, you have a bilious
look; if your stomach is disordered, you
have a dyspeptic look; if your kidneys
are affected, you have a pinched look.
Secure good health, and you will surely
have good looks. “Eleetric Bitters” Js
a good alterative and tonic. Acts (n-
rectly on the stomach, liver and I id-
neys, purities the blocd, cures pimples,
blotches and bails, and bottle gives a good
complexion. Every guaranteed.
