Suffice it to say that an enlightened safeguard public the conscience is the only national to perpetuity ot our institutions and the interests, of the community can subserved only when each individual citizen fully realizes that concert of action is the only solution to the perplexing problem that each of the subpress ion of crime; citizen real¬ ize the duty he owes to society to rise above the base ends that end with self end fully conscious of his individual responsibility unflinch¬ ingly exhaust every effort to suppress crime. In this connection we desire to thank lion. Seaborn Reese, the pre¬ siding,judge, for his manly behind charge and assure him that his denunciation of crime and lawless¬ ness he has the moral endorsement of the law-abiding citizens, it is our earnest desire and steadfast hope that an awakened and aroused public conscience may assert itself in a public sentiment that shall be a terror to evil doers. In Hon. R. H. Lewis he has an able and efficient coadjutor and we thank him for his courteous bearing and valuable as¬ sistance rendered ns. We favor his candidacy for re-election. We regret that the press of official business called him from us before adjourn¬ ing court but are pleased to have had the counsel of Hon. F. 11.

The time has arrived, when the question presents they itself to the Pop¬ ulists, as to what shall do. The announcement of J. M. Barns as a candidate for congress from the 10th congressional district against the Hon. William II. Fleming, the pres¬ ent incumbent, makes it necessary that the Populists shall make up their minds at once as to whether they desire to see the old 10th dis¬ trict represented by one whose in¬ terests and feelings are identified with the white people of our section or by one who represents interests diametrical to all that we hold dear and sacred, in politics, morality and social relations. I know not how my Populist friends may choose, but as for my¬ self I shall by my vote stand by my own people, and my own section. To do this, 1 conceive it to he a duty to myself, my family and section, to cast my vote for the Hon. \Y. 11. Fleming in the coming election, and would advise all my Populist friends to do likewise, and by so doing thereby secure a gentleman to rep¬ resent tiie grand okl 10th full district of Georgia, who is in sympathy with our people and section.
