Tom Watson declares that there never was such a thing as a negro Democrat and never would be. He says you can get a negro to vote the Democratic ticket and you can get a negro to cut a cord of wood, bnt you have to pay him to do it. —Macon News. As Tom Wat son claims that he i s ‘‘as good Democrat as ever breathed,” and that his third partyites are Jeffersonian Demo crats, we presume that his and his party followers efforts to secure the negro vote will be based on purchase.—Marietta Journal. He locked despairingly into vacan cy. “I have had my misgiving,” he said, in a dull, passionless voice, “out now I am sure. Your laugh shows me you are utterly heartless-’’ She turned pale.

WATSON AND BANKSTON The “men whococtrol” inside the democratic party, may be able to bestow houors upon men agaiust whom grave charges rest, but the masses are in favor of the fair thing and will repudiate it at the ballot box. Trox Bankston is a democratic delegate tc a democratic conven tion and believes the charges against Mr Clay should be cleared up before’ue takes the chairman ship of a great party. The democra tic convention don’t agree with I’rox, and howl him diwn, Har mony must be preserved,you know why.—Tom Watson’s Press. Tommie should tell the whole story. He should inform his mis guided following that even Trox admitted that l.e was thoroughly satisfied with Mr. Clay’s explains Hon. \V hut does Tom Watson want anyhow? MAJ. BACON ANDRIS CANPAWN From parties who came in on the evening train we learn that Maj. Bacon made one of his mas terful speeches at Forsyth yester day. The crowd was large and be- came enthusiastic from the begin- ! nmg. Maj. Bacon spoke two hours, 1 and said not a word about Garrard I and not a word about himself. He discussed national questions en tirely. He is making plain to the people the issues involved in these great questions. His speech, pitched upon the high plane, is clean and clear and absolutely free from vulgar person alisms. The simple truth is that Maj. Bacon is measuring up to the full proportions of a United Slate;, senator. He has put his campaign above the petty factional and sectional lines. He is discussing the great questions of the hour with a pow er and logic and a sway of elo quence clear and masterful. His speeches remind the white haired fathers of the old days when we had giants in Georgia. It is refreshing to the people to see and hear a man who can rise above his personal environ ment and beyond the antagonism between himself and his competi tors and stand upon an elevation where he can discuss from the broadest possible views the issues that vitally concern the very life of the republic. Such a man only is worthy to be United States sen ator from Georgia.—Macon Tele graph . •• •: BUSINESS LAW IN DAILY USE Herewith are the most important laws, succinctly stated, that touch the nerds or the average business man. An observance of them will ena ble one to avoid many mistakes that may be serious, and steer the inno cent from many pitfalls that may be calamitous. They contain, in few words, the essence of a large amount of legal verbiage not always very in telligible. Each individual in a partnership is responsible for the whole amount of tbe deb'e of the firm, except in cases of “special ’ partnership;. Contracts made on Sunday cannot be enforced. A contract mape with a minor is void. A contrrct made with a lunatic (or with one who has a general reputa tion for weak mindeduass) is void ( The latter ease must, however, be clearly established. ) The acts of one partner bind all the other partners. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. No consideration is sufficient in law if it be illegal in its nature. (Many "failures” are upset be cause of this law.) A receipt for money is not al ways conclusive, An agreement without consider ation is void. The law compels no one to do impossibilities. (This must be lib erally construed.) Ignorance of the law excuses no one. Note especially the following, as affecting the giving and taking of checks and notes : A note made on Sunday is void. A note made by a minor is void. A note obtained by fraud, or from a person in a state of intoxi cation, cannot be collectad. (This is a corollary to the law governing contracts with the weakminded.) Notes bear interest only when so stated. If a note is lost or stolen, it d<>e* not release the maker ; He must pay it if the consideration for which it was given, and the a mount, can be proved. Signatures made with a lead pencil are good in law. A note indorsed in blank is' transferable by delivery, the same as if made payable <o bearer. The maker of an “accommodation note [one for which he has receiv ed no consideration, having lent his name and credit for the accom modation of the holder] is not bound to the peison accommod:U• | ed, but is bound to all other par ties. precisely as if there was a good consideration If the maker of a check or draff, has changed his residence, the holder must use “due diligence” to find Lim. Checks or dr Jts must be presented or payment “without unreasonable delay.’’ Ignorance or oversight of or willfu [ inattention to tue a e fundamental in junctions is tbe frequent source of annoying and expensive litigation.— The Kej stone. »THE BIGGEST FURNITURE HOUSE SOUTH.
