The last Georgia Legislature, in Octo¬
ber, passed an act amending section 4570
of tbe code, in such a manner as to make
it as much of an offense to furnish liquor
at primary elections as it is to deal it out
at regular elections. This fact had better
be kept in mind by numerous politicians
who did nut know, or else had not remem¬
bered’ it.
The great national Democratic conven
tion at St, Louis has convened, acted and
adjourned. Cleveland was unanimously
elected, and fifteen thousand people shouted
themselves hoarse, so great was the enthu
siasm. The vice president was not nomi¬
nated so unanimously. Neither was there
unanimity in the adoption of a platform.
The debates on this issue have been tedious
and stubborn. Nevertheless, Cleveland
and Thurman will be elected and tariff
reform will be the weapon of warfare.
Allas Sturgis, a negro who ivasarest
ed at Thomson and jailed to await the
action of the grand jury, was lynched on
Saturday night. He had invaded the pri
vacy of a lady’s bedroom, This is the
third or fourth incident of the kind that
has occurred in Thomson in the last few
years. All the other negroes who had
made such attempts had escaped, but
when Allen was caught and confessed, the
people arose and made an example of him.
Allen Sturgis had been in the chaingatig
several times and had been whipped sev
eral times for his rascality.
Tiie Republican party once had a well
defined policy, and its purposes and aims
were altogether different from what control
that party today. The Republican party
abolished slavery and preserved the Union ;
it afterwards undertook to reform Southern
customs and Southern laws. What is that
party trying to do now 7 Nothing, only
to beat the Democrats for office, and to
prove on the tariff issue that truth and
justice is all a lie. Up North the Repub¬
lican is often spoken of as the Grand Old
Party. To the Northern people it has
b’en a grand party, but it not so today.
The Republican party is doomed, its
policy is almost nothing and its aims and
purposes are fast becoming smaller and
more unpopular.
Ant Important Rill.
Tbe Atlanta Evening C&jsitbl of July
19, 1887, says : “Dr. J. Northrop Smith
will introduce a bill this session for the
protection of the traveling public, against
accidents, caused by color blindness, or
other forms of defective vision. This is a
good bill and should be endorsed by the
whole House, There is not the Shadow of
a doubt as to the bill passing, as it is a
very important one, as it is not only a
protection to the traveling public, but a
benefit to the railroad employes, who have
so many lives entrusted to their care,
Whenever a doctor introduces a bill it is
generally a good one, and one that always
meets „ . the ,, approbation of the entire .. House.
It is useless for the reporter, on a hot day
like this, to undertake to give a pen
portrait of the able representative of
Crawford, hut suffice it to say that he is a
genial, popular gentleman, and is fond of
ary sport where fuu and frolic are to be
found. When it comes down to business,
however, no member of the legislature has
a longer or wiser head.
He is always to be found ready to do
battle for his constituents, and their inter
estscouMuotbein safer hands.
Other legislators maj^ make more noise
and create mote notoriety, but there is not
a member that will look to the interests of
his constituents more than Mr. Smith, of
Crawford. He makes no parade, but
always answers roll call, and listens to
every bill introduced, hears every resolu¬
tion, aud loses not a werd of every speech
that is made. Endowed with sound judg¬
ment and a clear mind, and possessing rare
legislative talents, the Doctor makes a
most worthy’ member, and the county be
so well represents should he proud of such
a gifted man to represent them. When
be returns home he can rest assured that
he will be pleasantly remembered by his
co-laborers. Trusted with the interests of
his county, be surely has them at heatt
and most faithfully discharges all his offi¬
cial duties. He is faithful iu all things
and no member is move vigilant and watch¬
ful. Full of enthusiasm for the right and
invectives for the wrong, his influence is
often felt in the committee rooms and the
House. He is quiet and unostentatious
but one of the best men in the Legislature,
and in every way worthy of the esteem of
bis constituents.”
The Mem. Ex. Committee.
Tomorrow the Democratic Executive
Committee of Oawfoi'd county will meet
to appoint a day for the nomination of
county officers. Whether or not a large
representation is present we would like to
see the wishes of the people duly considered
and respected.
The best time, it would seem, for the
nomination of county officers would be
early in the fall—about Sept. 1. Candi¬
dates could then canvass the county while
the crops need least attention.
The Journal’s Position.
This paper is being watched by some
who expebt to see it take a stand for one
or the other of the candidates for senator.
But such parties will be mistaken. We
regard both as gentlemen worthy’ and well
qualified to discharge the duties of such an
office, and will feel no cause for dissatisfac¬
tion if either the one or the other should
be elected. We expect to antagonize no
democrat in the race for a county office.
Iu the meanwhile, the columns of the
paper will bo open to all the candidates
who may wish to publish anything for
personal benefit. Of course a small charge
will be m.jde by the printer iu each
instance of the kind.
