Editob Courier:
I uotioed in The Athens Banner
a short time since an extended re
hash of ttfe stale and frszile worn
■abject of negro supremacy from
Senator Bacon to Representative
Hardwick, of the tenth.
Now, upon the snpposition that
very small flee can bark at a
mastiff if at a respectful distance,
I wish to say that I have been de-
ceived in Senator Bacon. I voted
for him for Governor of Georgia
as against John B. Gordon, be-
cause I thought him more of a
statesman and mnch more suited
for a civil officer than Gordon.
But he has made some bad breaks
of a recent date that weakened my
faith in his judgment and states
manship.
First, he stood ready cocked and
primed to vote against the ratifi
cation of the - Panama Treaty for
no other reason that I could see
than to create a political issue.
He soon found that it was no go
and screwed himself np to vote for
it under a sort of relnetance and
protest. Then he was weak enough
to go North and stump speech for
Parker in the last Presidential
campaign, a man “as negative as
sund,” without an issue and there
by trying to aid in carrying the
unsuspecting masses of his own
following square into the Repub
lican party, a party which he and
his ilk bad been pretendiug to
oppose for the last forty years,
and accusiog Tom Watson and
the Populist of trying to aid.
The weakness of the man is so
conspicuously displayed in his
presumption as to the dense ig
norance of the masses of his own
state. He seems to have thought
and still thinks as many others of
his stripe do, that the people of
Georgia had no better sense thaD
to just shnt their eyes and swallow
it down because it was called
Democrat. Well it is a cause to
be sincerely regretted that so
many fell into the trap. It seems
to me that the most astonishing
part of the mans’ erratic career
is, that he is weak enough to be
lieve that he cant, still hold the
people enslaved for him and his
crew by that old hackened cry
negro anpremaoy.
Does the Senator really think
there is any danger of negro su
premacy in Georgia, or is he jok
ing with the people? Will he an
nounce over his own signature
that he really ia in earnest? If
he will, then I mast say that
will have less respect for his judg
ment than ever. I have more re-
speet for his common sense than
to think he dees. Bnt the Sena-
tor and many of bis friends are iu
office and thiol: that if they can
keep the people enslaved they can
remain there. Will the Senator
or anyone else iell us wherein the
danger of negro domination lies?
The only possible danger that we
can see, is that two or four years
from now the Senator and his
elan will be found paying up the
negroe’s tax and forcing him to
rote for them. The great masses
of them are oat and will forever
remain out unless the Plutocrats
bring them baek. The most hope
ful signs of the times that I see is
the announcement of men and
newspapers that in future they
are determined to no longer be
slaves for the bosses. Ur. Lin
coln, I believe said that yon could
fool some of the people all the
time; all of them a part of the
time; but you could never fool all
the people all the time. There is
perhaps a number of Plutocrats
that will still be fooled, but all
Plutocrats are uot Bourbons. The
ohildish silly cry of negro domi
nation that keeps the women and
children always in dread and fear
of their lives ie sinful, wioked and
unmanly. Before the election
the women of Georgia were in
daily fear of their lives on ac
count of the before day hoax
eince the election I have heard no
more of the before day club.
No, Senator yon are as badly
fooled on the supremacy issue as
you were on the Panama issue.
By the way, since I came to thiuk
about it, it seems to me that quite
a number of men are not half as
fraid of negro anpremaoy and so-
oial equality in the dark aa they
profess to be in the light. I see
unmistakable evidence of that
every where I go, and especially
abont towns and citiea.
Ur. Senator, yon bad better
smell around for some other issue.
I don't think that one will hold
water any longer. I see that
Boykin Wright has shot off his
little bazsoo on the same line of
Bacon. Now Boykin you had
better look for another issue.
Howell will be after you. He ia
a regular old grauuy, and it uot
■dieted to jumping onto issues
until he sees the old cat raise hit
bristles, swell his tail and yells
one big meow. G.
When a Bride is Not a Bride.
Some Loudon papers have been
discussing the subject of honey
moons :and have decided that a
bride ceases to be a “bride” and
becomes a “wife” after six weeks
of matrimony.
This is absurd, say* the New
York Evening Hail, because there
are some wise women who are
brides all the days of their lives,
and there are some foolish women
who cease to be brides or eyen
wives twenty-four hours after the
wedding No time limit oan be
set upon the honey moon. It may
go down with a dull, siokeniug
thud after a week of married life,
or it may shine on merrily to the
golden wedding. A wouiau may
know that ahe has ceased to be a
bride only:
When she finds herself sayiug
uncomplimentary things to her
husband.
The first time her husband
criticises her Crocks.
When she discovers that the is
jealous.
When he grows eoonomioal with
his kisses.
When she begins to nag.
When- he becomes tarcastio
about the'food.
When she does not mind oom-
iug to breakfast in curl papers.
When he tells her how pretty
some other woman looks.
When she begins to remember
the virtues of the man she didn't
marry.
When-he begins to eulogize hit
mother.
When a meal becomes so quiet
that she can plan a wholejfrock
between the oourses.
When he begins to go out to his
club.
When ahe begum to hunt up he
old friends and enjoy calliug on
them.
When he comes in late for
dinner.
When she forgets to come houu
from the matinee in time to greet
him before dinner.
Wheu the days while he is away
begiu to seem too short instead of
too long.
Aa uone of thaaa things need
ever happen if two people are bent
upon prolonging tneir happineaa,
there Isn’t a so lent is t living who
oouldset au exaot date for the
waning of the honeymoon.
