THE TRIBUNE,
PUBLISHED WEEKLY,
A. li. DODSON, Editor:
Entered at tlie Buchanan 1’ostoflice as second
class mall matter.
Buchanan, Ga., Dec 2. 1898.
Announcement.
I take this method of annottnoing myself a
Candidate for Constable of the 1143rd district,
t?. M , and 1 earnestly solicit the votes of the
people composing the same. R. C. Hi st,
The latest fake is the “war
tramp.”
This is the time of year when
stoves are burning issues.
No better place can be found for
the thrifty farmer than here in
Haralson eonnty.
Secro f ary Long favors a mighty
navy. He will ask tor a big in¬
crease in battleships and fleet
cruisers.
Idaho will have two women
members in the next legislature,
and as they are members of oppo-
rte political parties, like a ship at
sea, it behooves the other mem¬
bers to look out for “squalls.”
Mr. James Lee, of Paulding
county, committed suicide by’
hanging himself the first of the
week. Nocause can be attributed
for the rash act. He was out of
debt, a good liver, "and as every¬
one thought, contented and happy.
Atl an ta is going to have a “jubi¬
lee,” not a “peace jubilee,” as ad¬
vertised. The “peace” was drop¬
ped at President McKinley’s re¬
quest, as a gentle hint to Spain
that Americans do not feel that
the war is over until the tre'-ty is
signed in Paris.
The republican party will, after
March 4, have complete control of
the government. Jt will have the
president and a majority of both
senate and house. It will have no
excuse for failure to act and will
be responsible for all the laws that
are passed. The republican party
has an opportunity for a record
sucli as a party seldom has.
Mies Helen Gould appears in a
new role, as the friend of labor.
She has consented to investigate
the grievances of the lady tailors
of New York, who are now on a
strike, and if satisfied that their
demands arc just she will espouse
then: cause and throw the weight
of.her influence and wealth to the
side of the strikers.
Gov. Candler sent a special mes¬
sage to the general ass-embly last
Tuesday morning on the subject of
finance. Among other things, the
governor recommends that the
school fund lie reduced $400,000
during each of the next two years,
and that pensions be paid only to
those veterans and soldiers’ wid¬
ows who actually need help.
At enormous meteor passed over
Glenville, W. Va., the other night.
It created a terrible roaring noise,
and was heard for miles. For ten
minutes the sky was light as day.
and men and cattle ran about
frightenen and benumbed as by an
electric current. The passing of
meteor caused a rise of many de¬
grees in temperature, and for an
hour the air was hot and stifling.
An exchange says: “The man
who don’t see how to vote right,
can’t see how to shoot right and
strike right. In Glasgow the peo¬
ple enjoy one-cent car fares. They
have municipal ownership. If all
the church members had a pray¬
ing machin& r half of them would
forget to wind it up The road to
hell is lined with the prayers of
those who vote different from the
way they pray. When the wicked
reign, the fools carry torch-lights
and follow bras# bands and drink
bad whiskey.”
VOL. II, NO. I.
With this issue Thu Tiubunf
begins the second year of its exist¬
ence.
It was not expected to be a fi¬
nancial success, and in this we
have not been disappointed. Still
we feel like congratulating ourself
that it has “been as well with us
as it has.”
The paper stands today for all
it stood for in its first issue. It
has faltered at nothing that was
right, and dodged no responsibil¬
ity.
The Tribune will tako an act¬
ive and prominent part in the
future, as in the past, advocating
and defending the principles laid
down by the party of the people,
and will strongly and uncompro¬
misingly contend for a free ballot
and a fair count in Georgia.
Kind reader, are you in sympa¬
thy with these sentiments? If
you are, then it is your duty to
work unceasingly to enlarge the
circulation and usefulness of the
paper. Will you do this for the
cause of reform and the success of
a paper that dares to speak out
against the frauds of “those who
control?”
Every reader of this paper should
send in at least one new suberiber
at once—a Christmas present, dont
you know. You can do this much
it you try, thereby helping along a
grand and noble cause. At its
present low price it is just as easy
as falling off a log.
Now,3 let every friend of The
Tribune put his shoulder to the
wheel and make the paper during
the next twelve months a credit to
the town and count}” in which it
is printed. Do we hear any re¬
sponse to this proposition?
INEXCUSABLE.
If a man marks his neighbor’s
yearlings or hogs through mistake,
gets his hand in hie neighbor’s
crib when hungry, or steals his
neighbor’s goods to wrap the form
of a shivering child, he might
plead the circumstances of his
condition as an excuse, but when
a man, for the sake of perpetuat¬
ing a party organization and main¬
taining his loyalty thereto, will
vote to take the land that his
neighbor ought to have for a home
and give it to rich corporations,
vote to tako the school money that
his neighbor’s children need for
educational purposes and give it
to a gang of politicians to help
them perpetuate their rascality on
the people, and then vote for a po¬
litical system that he knows is
taking the clothes oft - the backs
and the bread out of the mouths
of his neighbor’s children, he will
hardly have an even shake with
Judas Iscariot or Benedict Arnold
in getting excused before the bar
of judgment and justice.
This is no time to halt. Keep
your colors to the breeze. A faint
heart never yet won a great cause,
ar.d the reformer who flickers now
isn’t worth soap grease. Remem¬
ber that it has taken the world
1900 years to come to the gospel
of Christ, and it hasn’t reached it
yet. The golden rule still lacks
fulfillment.
The sword of honor that will be
given to Admiral Dewey by order
of congress will cost the taxpayers
of this country just $10,000. Our
congressmen—what an aggregation
of naturalborndamphools !•
advantages OF CIVILIZA¬
TION.
Go to the monkey, thou voter!
Consider his ways and be wise.
Do the monkeys pay ground rent
to descendants of the first old ape
who discovered the valley where
the monkeys live?
Do they hire the trees from the
chimpanzee who first found the
forest?
Do they hire the trees from the
great great-grandchildren of the
gorrilla who invented the way to
crack them?
Do they allow two or three mon¬
keys to form a corporation and
obtain control of all the paths
that leads through the woods?
I)o they permit some smart
young monkeys, with superior
business ability, to claim all the
springs of water in the forest as
their own, because of some alleged
bargain made by their ancestors
500 years ago?
Do they allow a small gang of
monkey lawyers to so tangle up
their conceptions of ownership
that a few will obtain possession
of everything? monkeys
Do they appoint a few
to govern them and then allow
those appointed monkeys to rob
the tribe and mismanage all its
affairs?
Do they build a monkey city
and then hand over the land, and
the paths, and the trees, and the
springs, and the fruits to a few
monkeys who sat on a log and
chattered while atl the work was
going on?
No, my friends, monkeys have a
wiser system of municipal govern¬
ment than that.
Although Kipling speaks of them
in his jungle book as “the neople
who have no laws,” yet they have
laws enough to prevent the pri¬
vate ownership of public fran¬
chises.
If Prof. Garner, who claims to
have learned forty words of the
monkey language, were to escort
some reflective chimpanzee around
one of our cities, the professor
would find it difficult to explain
some of the manners and customs
of a civilized nation.
The chimptmzee would be amaz¬
ed to see a $500,000 house, with
forty rooms, contain only a mil¬
lionaire and his wife and ten serv¬
ants, while a $10,000 tenement,
with twenty rooms, contained for¬
ty people no servants.
He would still further be aston¬
ished to see the warehouse dis¬
trict, where an abundance of every¬
thing was stored, close to the slum
district, where the people lacked
the barest necessities of life.
lie would be shocked to see an
entire street system, with hund¬
reds of miles of tracks, thousands
of cars and employes, carrying
millions of passengers every year,
absolutely owned and controlled
by three or four men who never
built a car or drove a spike.
But when the professor would
explain to him that nine-tenths of
the people in the city were quite
content to endure such evils, and,
in tact, grew angry with anyone
who proposed to remove them, the
champanzee would say: “Take
my baek to the forest, and may the
Good Spirit deliver us from civili¬
zation.—Ex.
MONEY IN GEORGIA APPLES.
Mr. J. C. Westbrooks, a Haral¬
son county farmer, passed through
Atlanta yesterday with a car load
of apples which he was taking to
Columbus, Ga, He called on Col.
O.JB. Stevens, commissioner of
agricultere, and stated that he
raised 400 bushels of apples on one
acre. He sold some of tnem in
Atlanta for $1 per bushel.
Mr. Westbrooks says that apples
pay better than cotton, lie has
about twenty acres in apples, al¬
though all are not bearing. He
had a small basket on his arm
when he went to the capitol, and
he treated the commissioner arid
everybody in t>he office. His son,
Mr. C. S. Westbrooks, who has been
employed for several years at the
DeLoach Mill Manufacturing Co’s
works, has an apple orchard of 17
acres in Haralson county.
Col. Stevens was very much in-
terested m hearing about the fruit,
