TUESDAY, MAY 17 1898 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. BiuuADiKR-general \V> Y. Atkin¬ son only lasted until Bill McKin ley got a whack nt the title. At¬ kinson’s patriotism has evaporated. He’s again plain Bill. Poor fel¬ low ! The teller of the first national hank of Dover, Delaware, has been arrestod for robbing tho bank #107,000. He is a democrat and boasts that he voted for Bryan. I do wonder if they ALL Steal! “He who works for one person is a slave.”—Anstolle. “Ho who works for the or profit of another is a Greely. Which reminds us of the American people are slaves or tramps. Which are If one-half is true that Atkinson and Berner are saying each other, they should all serving a term in the states tentiary. It's a shame the dem crats cant put out a decent man to oppose the noble Peek, or who¬ ever else the pops may nominate! Hon. Chas. I Brannn, who is opposing Col. L. F. Livingston in the 5th congressional district, is making an effort to have tho ex¬ ecutive committee call another primary, as Livingston beat him •o badly in the one held April 21st that Charley aint satisfied 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,” eud Bill Atkinson, his “pardoner,” exactly fills their heats. If this aint so, why the deuce don’t you •ay so? You democrats. \Vb dely the democrats to show jany county in any state under de dnooratic control that can compare •favorably with Dale county, Ala. It is controlled by populists, and Ahe hated pops 1 ave reduced taxes from the democratic levy of 75,cts to 45ctg «n the .hundred dollars; about 92$ pjr ceut reduction. In •addition to this, they have paid Off a democratic debt of , We have invested all tire ipone.y •in our old stocking in a -crutch factory and wooden-leg shop.

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 THE I NSULT OF THE TION.” Atkinson, Spencer Candler is both a knave and (or words to that effect in Journal of 16th of April.) Berner, Bob.— “Candler, is very clever old fellow, but ho is old fossil and totally unfit for responsible office.” Candler, Allen 1).—“Both son and Berner are hypocrites and unworthy the people’s 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. The following editorial from Richmond Planet, of May 7. a ne¬ gro paper that is edited, printed and miblished entirely by alone, in Richmond Va., is a sample of the growing wish of negro to be recognized as the man’s equal.
