The “dewey” decks of Dewey’s ships
Still smoke with battle vapors;
And the other Spanish fleet still
skips
With haste from .Sampson’s capers.

to oppose the noble Peek, or who¬
ever else the pops may nominate!
Hon. Chas. I Brannn, who is

the 5th congressional district, is
making an effort to have tho ex¬

with the democratic count.
June 3rd will be the Georgia le¬
gal holiday for the celebration of
President Jefferson Davis’ birth¬
day. Every loyal southerner will
remember the cause—the glorious,
undying lost cause—and the grand
soldier,statesman and patriot who
sacrificed his all for the people he
honored and loved. He did, as
we all did, what he believed to he
right, and, like our own noble
Toombs, he died firm in the faith.
The democrats believe in put¬
ting “free silver at 16 to 1” in
their platform; “free liquor in
their bellies, and ‘no-think”
(nothing) in their heads; while
'‘Adolphus Duncan, twice convict¬
ed of rape on a white woman,”

exactly fills their heats. If this

Ox Tuesday May 3d, Mr, \V. J.
White placed himself in the
of Dr. J. It. S. Holmes at the
cyou” Sanilorium in Atlnula, and
that eminent Burgeon and
of skillful assistants performed a
most delicate ami dangerous sur¬
gical operation for the purpose
saving Editor White’s life. He is
reported as mending slowly but
steadily, but will likely be confined
to his bed for a month or more.
We are having a tough time trying
to keep The Record up to its form¬
er standard during his illness.
An honest man, in a righteous
cause, unafraid of public opinion
—that’s a “radical” man. He’ll
do what he believes to be right and
preach the gospel of progress,
not another man on earth
Threecheers for the “radical” man!
“Beloved by all who know him,
and “Not an enemy in the world,
are lies so often told about
cowardly, pussillanimous,
fence fellow known as a
tive” man. He’s the kind of
that was “horn and will die”
old thing rather than be a
“radical” man.
How would it suit your
Mr. Democrat, to see a negro
onel sitting at mess with
Brown, L iwton and the
er-in-t liief of the stato’s
Bill Y. Atkinson? How would
suit you, Mr.
the-ranks, to he cook or
for " negro officer? And after
had been “twice convicted of
on your wife or daughter,
you appreciate having your beloved
governor pardon him? Mark
words in the negro
weave to be SUBJECTED

Atkinson, Spencer
Candler is both a knave and

Journal of 16th of April.)

very clever old fellow, but ho is
old fossil and totally unfit for
responsible office.”
Candler, Allen 1).—“Both

Wo are not prepared to.furnish
any positive evidence in
tiation of those gentlemen’s state¬
ments about each other, but
they have been iutinately associa¬
ted for several years in an official
way uudei the present democratic
administration in Georgia, it is
• ife to assume they have each told
the truth. Great Scott! what a
trio to run for governor of a great
State.
Higher civilization puts
responsibility on the social
ganism. Call that populism,
whatever you please. To be
ized u man must become
gent, and to be intelligent
must think for himself; and
can do neither inside the two
parties, for the “ring” in each
does his thinking for him and
is controlled absolutely by
men who contral.” Chairman
Fleming G. DuBignou and his lit¬
tle committee do tho thinking for
Georgia democrats, and if one
the rank and file dares to think
for himself he is called a populist,
is accused of “bolting” and
promptly squelched. Ditto with
the democrat editor. DuBiguon,
the gold-bug, and Atkinson, the
rape-bug, do the thinking for the
Georgia democrats and the poor,
ignorant, measly things seem to
like it. If they don’t like it they
are perfectly free to take mov
phiue or jump into the river.
THE POOR WILL PAY ALL BILLS.
Tho extraordinary war revenue
measure presented by the republi¬
cans is about as bad as it could
be. The democrats wiil not try to
defeat it, and whatever is needed
for the national defense will be
granted unhesitatingly, and loval
citizens of all faiths are expected
to sustain that attitude.
But they are free to protest
against.
The said measure starts with
issue of five hundred mil
dollars and piles on every
absprd tax conceivable except the
tax on windows. It levies tax on
telegrams, bauk checks, business
transaction- wud commercial rela¬
tions. It is a tax on business and
the necessities ,©f the poople that
inevitably fall on the con
atifl (ho poorer .consumer
is the more, in proportion, lie
must pa}',
There are national resources
untouched which could provide
all the revenues necessary without
resorting to taxation of this sort
at all. Or there might be re¬
course to direct taxation m the
form indicated by the constitu¬
tion, levied on the states in pro¬
portion. That is the proper way,
for it allows each community to
its own means of raising
its pro rata of the taxes, and it
has the virtue of being the fairest
and justest method that cau be
devised.
That is too honest, how’ever, for
eithor a democratic or republican
congress, for both old parties be¬
lieve in the unscientific method of
iasueing bonds bearing interest for
the benefit of the capital if t, and
giving to Shylock a double pound
of flesh by skinning the people
ihrongh a tax on the necessaries.
We shall have all the cumber¬
some and barbarous taxes that cau
be devised—a»e the farmer and
city workingman will pay the
bills and sustain the cost and
weight of war both in blood and
money.
Great is the American
ment of plutocracy, by the poli¬
ticians, for the money lenders!
The battle of Cardenas lias dem¬
onstrated two things, viz; 1st,The
Spaniards can shoot and can hit,
and their shots kill just as dead
as any body’s else shot does. 2nd,
The Americans can act the fools,
oil nccasion, as successfully as any
people on the sea.
None there are who more
cerely mourns the death of the
brave men whoso lives were sacri¬
ficed in the battle of Cardenas
Wednesday than does The Record ;
and while wo recognize that deatli
and destruction are merely
dents of war, and that such
dents are likely to he of daily oc¬
currence, yet we can not
God’s command, “Thou slialt
kill,” and Christ’s later one “Love
one another,” with the efforts
man to kill and the still worse act
of hating his fellow man. The
son is yet unlearned by us how you
can “Love thy neighbor as thyself”
and pump cold lead into him by
way of emphasizing your affection,
and be a Christian.
FORAGING BEGINS ALREADY.
The entire r tho eastern
camp on
slope was awakened early this
morning by the squalling of a
half dozen chickens, which, at¬
tracted by the crumbs from the
tables, had innocently strolled in¬
to camp. Right of ownership lost
its effect on halfadozen hardtack
fed volunteers, who unable to with¬
stand such a temptation, immedi¬
ately sent a fusiladeof stones after
the chicks, and chased them all
over the hill, until the whole flock
was bagged. Governor Atkinson
and Col. Brown had chicken for
dinner today.—Atlanta Constitu¬
tion.
It isn’t often that Bill Atkinson
needs help to sieal what he wants,
but its a great slump to drop from
a governorship theft to chicken
stealing. But I suppose when a
man becomes uddicated to the hab¬
it he is not particular what he
takes.
LABOR IS HOLY.
Frances Willard was as bravo as
she was noble. In the midst of a
wealth worshiping people she de¬
that the humblest labor is
holy. She knew and she said that
her labor sentiments would be
laughed at,and she would be cursed,
but she boldly spoke tho truth.
Standing in a city where multi¬
millionaires reared palaces upon
bleeding human hearts, surround¬
by a country gone mad in the
ferocious struggle for gold, speak¬
ing to a generation that has pro¬
the richest aristocracy this
world has seen, she ^declared that
idler is as had as a thief, ns
ns a begger,” and that
only real aristocracy is that of
toil,
PIGEONS MORE SENSIBLE THAN
MEN.
Dr. Paley, the great theologian,
wrote a century ago: “If you
see a flock of pigeons in a
field, and if instead of peck¬
where and what i« wauted, and
more, you should see ninety
of them gathering all they
in a heap, and reserving noth
for themselves but the chaff
and refuse, keeping this heap for
one and that the weakest, perhaps
the worst pigeon in the flock, sit¬
ting around and looking on all
winter, while this one was devour¬
ing, throwing about and wasting
it, and if a pigeon more harty than
the rest touched a grain of the
hoard, all the others instantly fly¬
ing upon it and tearing it to pices
—if von should see this, you would
see nothing more than what is ev¬
ery day practiced and established
among men.”
TO ADVERTISERS.
Here is a tip from a newspaper
called “Brains.” It says that there
is only one way to hammer your
name, your business so constantly,
so persistently, so thoroughly into
the people’s heads that if they walk
in their sleep they will constansly
turn their steps toward your store.
The newspaper is your friend in
spite of your criticism. It helps
to build up your town. It helps
to build up the community which
supports you. When tne day
comes that newspapers are dead
the people are on the edge of the
grave with nobody to write their
epitaph.
