OLD THINGS ARE 11KST.
There are no days like the good old
days,
The days when we were youthful!
When humankind were pure of mind
And speech and deeds were" truthful,
Before a love for sordid gold
Became man's ruling passion,
And before each dame and maid became
Slave to the tyrant fashion.
There are no girls like the good old
girls
Against the world I'd stake 'em?
As buxom and smart and clean of heart
As the Lord knew how to make 'em !
They were rich in spirit and common
a. sense,
And piety all supportin':
had i
They could bake and brew,
and
And thev made the likeliest courtin'1 1
taught school, too,
, ... t. . .,
There are no boys like the good old
boys i
When we were boys together !
When the grass was sweet to the brown
T.,fitete!u i u- u .u I
When the pewe e sung to the summer
dawn,
Or the bee in the billowy clover ;
Or down by the mill the whip-poor-will
Echoed his night song over.
There is no love like the good old
love
The love that mother jrave us !
We, are old, old men, yet we pine again j
For that precious grace--God gave us
So we dream and dream of the good
old times.
And our hearts grow tenderer, fonder
As those dear old dreams bring sooth
ing gleams
Of,the heaven off yonder.

Last Thursday night at the home
of Cornelius Bliss, in New York
Citv. a meeting: of prominent Repub
licans was held .to discuss the Presi
dential situation. They decided that
Harrison could not be elected and
propfcsed a ticket with McKinley to
lead and Bliss as running mate.
The Third party ought to tote fair
with the farmers and let them know
that the platform means more
pensions than ever, and does not aim
a single blow at the McKinley tariff",
or enter a protest against the force
bill. Georgia farmers will not approve
any effort at deceit. Augusta Chron
icle. The Third party men in Halifax are
to hold a convention at Halifax on May
25th, to endorse W. W. Long of
Warren for Congress and Dr. John
A. Collins for Senate and to get out
a complete county ticket. W. W.
Long was nominated for Congress by
the bolters from the convention that
nominated Cheatham.
They have orgnized a third party
iri Lenoir county, and appointed a
county Executive committee. . The
Free Press says that only about 25
persons participated in themeeting ;
and some of these appear to be

John F. Wooten ; B. Frank Parrott ;
A. T. Hill and B. F. Scarboro.
The Third party meeting at Law
rence, Edgecombe, county, last Satur
day was not a howling success, the
Southerner declares. The St. Louis
platform was explained by Dr. Mayo,
and a viva voce vote taken on its
adoption, but this not being altogether
satisfactory, a standing vote was
taken. There were no votes against
it. Those who disapproved of the
platform of the Third party remained
silent or left. Three negroes made
speeches.

that he suspects his friends when they

see why ne shouldent make cotton
at two cents a nounu. Atr. i runt, i
c , , . .
our Georgia larmer, has recently stat-;
ed that he made it last year at a !
cost of three and a half cents, and
Mr. Truitt uses fertilizers freely that I
cost money. Several Georgia iarmers I
declare that they can make it at four !
cents. Uncle Jeff h is the best land j
and uses no nhosDhates. and he has !
the best variety of cotton and requires j
less cultivation and with the advant- i
age ol the huller, I don't see why we
should doubt his
statement. Uncle

T V
I en gave me
before without provocation, but he
apologized for that and made all
calm and serene, and it is now in or
der for him to apologize again. I'll'
forgive him 490 times according to
Scripture.
To find out how to make cotton
at less cost is big thing and the men
who teach us how to do it are the
world's benefactors. Cotton is em
phatically the clothing of the poor
and the cheaper it is the better for
them. It is better to learn to make
it for less than to sell it for more.
Two years ago when the State Alli
ance at Macon resolved to hold all
the cotton for fourteen cents a pound,
it made me sad. I had been writing
against trusts and combines and
corners in the necessaries of life, and
here was a bigger trust all put to
gether.
But the investigation is now going
to be made in our State and it will
stimulate our farmers. If they find
they can not make it for five cents, or
less, they will quit, for nobody be
lieves it will ever bring seven cents
again. A good many believe that
the next crop will open up at five
cents and maybe it will stick there.
This will be sad to the farmers, but
sometimes I think that Providence
has an eye on this business and is
looking after His poor. The world is
full of them and average farmer of the
South doesent know what poverty
is.
Right now the farmers of my
county are better off and more inde
pendent than any other class. There
are thirtv thousand bushels of corn
in the cribs for sale within five miles
of Cartersville. Our farmers have all
got plenty to live on, but they are
complaining. Yes, we all do that.
Politicians educate us to complain.
Most every man in our State who
yelled and howled around for the
sub-treasury scheme has got an office
and that is all he was yelling for. The
Iarmers is no nearer the government
crib than he was two years ayfor The
whole thing would be funny if it was
ent sad. The political newspapers
are responsible in a great measure
for this fraud on the farmers this
deception!. About a year ago I asked
an editor of one of our leading pa
pers what he meant by it, and he
said: "Well, the fool farmers have
got hold of the wagon and are run
ning away, and if I don't get up
there and drive and keep the team in
middle of the road until they are
exhausted they will tear things all to
pieces and we won't have any Demo
cratic party down here. We have
got to let them run the sub-treasury
awhile or they will kick out of the
breeching and break things." That
editor is happy now for he has got
the Alliance back into the Demo
cratic harness. Most of the leaders
have got office asd thev are happy
too. They took a nigh cut to the
sub-treasury.
I tell you my friends I once was
young and now I am old, but I
wouldent trust a modern political
newspaper for anything about poli
tics. I take two New Yow dailies, of
opposite politics, and two Atlanta
dailies, and one set or the other set
is a common liar. They don't simply
make mistakes or exaggerate, they
do it with malice afore-thought.
Every man ought to take one of each
side if he expects to get at the truth
and then he will split the difference
and believe neither. There is some
excuse for a third party, a party of
reform in the. administration of the
government, but if we have it I reckon
that a corrupt, selfish set will be
behind it. The St. Louis conven
tion said a good thing and a true
thing when it declared that the two
old parties were fighting sham battles
over the silver questions and the
tariff in order to gull the people with
noise of the conflict.
Somehow, I feel very little interest
in politics since it looks like Mr.
Cleveland will be shoved out of the
ring. He is the people's man ; they
love him for honesty. If ne could be
nominated, he would be elected.
Cleveland and Fanny and little Ruth
would sweep the country. The peo
ple don't care anything about the
silver question, but they love honesty
and truth and tariff reform and a
pretty woman with a baby. They
want a man to cut down the govern
ment expenses, so that the tariff can
be reformed. He left one hundred and
thirty millions surplus in the treasury,
but there is none now. The Demo
crats need watching as bad as Repub
licans. It is plunder all around.
Appropriations for public buildings
and for sewers and harbors get big
ger, and they are voted for on the
loe-rolline: principle you tickle me
and 1 11 tickle you. Ihe average
Northern Democrat is no better
r . fr. Cnllti. than thp Northern
-,,. it i i j-
Republican. Holman, of Indiana,
IS a leading Democrat, and has mtro-
duced a bill that will, in fact, pension
every teamster and sutler and camp
follower and bountv jumper and
ionower anu uouniy jumpu .una
hundred and sixty millions annually.
What Northern statesman ever
speaks for us ? What has become of
Herbert s bill to remove tne dis-
r ... , , A,
ability of our soldiers and let them
hold commissioned offices in the
army and navy ? It will go dead now,
since the war with Chili is over. We
haven't got our flags back yet, and 1
never will, I reckon. The Northern j
Democrats wouldn't vote for their !
return nnv .murker than the? North-1
ern Republicans. They are afraid to.
Tire truth is. we are a lone-sufferine
people, and the polticians are trying
to bait us with what they call free
silver. I'd like to see-the man who
will ever get it free. I've read whole
columns on the silver question, and
it is all rot to me.
Mr. Carlisle is a statesman and a
gentleman and he says he caii't see
any 'gain in it, but if the people de
mand it he will vote for it. That is
not right. We don't want him to
follow the people, but rather to lead
them. The newspaper mislead them.
The newspaper has degenerated.
"The news, the news, first of all the
news." That seems to be the motto
of the modern newspaper. That is
all very good and proper il the news
is at all necessary to our business or
our safety or our wholesome pleas
ure. But when it minsters to our
hate or our envy, or our love of
slander, or dives into the sacred
precincts of an unfortunate man's
family and exposes the heart troubles
that affect them, we protest. '
It is high time that this reportorial
business was curbed somewhat and
these young ambitious inconsiderate
young men were taught that the
public have no business with such
newspapers. It is high -time that the
editors should call a halt, and say to
them : Let these personal afflictions
alone. They are sacred. There is
grief enough on that family without
probing the wounds with your
heartless knife. We read it, of course
but every considerate man and woman
is sorry that it was published. What
business have the public with the
domestic troubles that have caused a
separation between a man and ms
wife. The old time honored English
law says that a man's house is his
castle and into its sacred precincts not
even the King of England dares to
enter.
And yet if one of these news in
quisitors hear of a rupture there he
arms himself with pencil and paper
and impudence, and seeks and de
mands entrance into the very citadel
of an unhappy home. I have often
wondered that there was no brother
or friend or protector who would
stand within the breach and say,
"No sir, this is no business that con
cerns you or the public. Get away
from here and do it speedily."
Lord help us all and deliver us
from the impudence and hypocrisy
of the modern newspaper.

It is certain that the next cotton
crop will not be nearly as' large as
the one of the season that is now
drawing to a close. Reports from

that there will be a very large reduc

and that there has been a great fall

tilizers. The season also thus far has
not been favorable for planting.
These three things will operate great

Every customer is entitled to a guess, free
of charge, and for every dollar or fraction
of a dollar spent to exceed one dollar, they
are entitled to an additional guess. But
no further guesses will be allowed after
the candle has been lighted. Permit us to
say here this is no gambling scheme or
game of chance. The

The articles which we offer we propose to
give our customers as an advertisement and
only employ this method to determine to
whom they shall go. If only one par
ty should guess they .vould get the present.
So you see it is not a matter of competition
on your part or gain on ours. We shall re
quest a committee of gentlemen to light the
candle and keep accurate account of time it
takes to consume, and the result will be an

think the Democrats outside of the
Alliance are in the least disposed to
make a fuss about candidates, but
they will ' seriously object to being
committed, by the platform, to the
St. Louis demand. It would seem i
to be a very small concession to ask :
for, it the non-Alliance Democrats
should ask that the State platform
should deal with only State matters,
but the men who are leading the
fight for the St. Louis demands have
announced that they are willing for
no compromise, and here is where
all the trouble lies. Charlotte Chron
