The Convention.
At tlie call of the Democratic Execu
tive Committee of Elbert county, a Con
vention was held in Elbcrton on the 22d
inst., for “the purpose of electing dele
gates to the gubernatorial, congressional
and senatorial conventions, and to de
cido whether nominations should be
made for either representative or county
officers.”
The convention had the power to nom
inate candidates for representative or
county officers on that day or fix a lime
for such nominations, as they thought
proper. The nomination of a candidate
for representative was determined for
that day, and after prolonged balloting
the choice of the convention was given
to Capt. James J. Burch a very worthy
gentleman, and one who w.ll fill the po
siti >n very creditably to the county.
So much for the nomination.
A part of the proceedings of the con
vention has been objected to by some
of the people—the extent of which we
cannot determined—and even some of
the delegates to that convention. On
the eighth ballot, when the vote stood,
Clark 18, Oglesby 17, a numbered bal
lot without any name upon it was found
in the hat. The friends of Clark con
tended that he was elected. Some of
the more prudentjof his supporters, how
ever, proposed to waive the question and
take another ballot. This was acquiesced
in without an objection in the conven
tion. Had this same prudence been
•practiced at the close of the conven
tion, the result would have been the
same •without the objection to its action
that we hear of.
The convention having determined to
vote for representative by ballot it
should havo continued to do so ; but the
action by which the nomination was
finally made looked like an effort to
choke off any further candidates. We say
it could bear such;a construction, although
we acquit *the leader of tbe move
ment of any such intention. With the
fact before the leaders in that convention
that there are a large number of citizens
of Elbert opposed to nominations except
when it is necessary, it behooved them
to See tb it that nothing was done which
c ould be prevented on which to hang a
single objection. The way the nomin
atiou was finally made—by acclamation
—is open to objection it seems to some,
whereas a little more prudence would
have prodilced the same results, with no
ground for complaint.
The candidate chosen is unobjectiona
ble, and as an individual we shall sup
port him. However the nomination was
brought about, it is the action of a con
vention of the people, and until that ac
tion is repudiated by the party, all good
members of the Democratic party are
bound by it. It will not do for dele
gates to that convention to say now that
it did wrong unless he fought that wrong
within the body. Objections should
have been made promptly at the time; it
is too late now to make them.
—As a resu ; we <lqq=-
fidently b hat no more nomina
tions will be made by conventions in
this county unless in case of absolute
necessity.
Does a Blank Ballot Count?
Will some of our friends or exchanges
more versed in parliamentary law than
wo are answer this question for us.
Thirty-six names are polled, a like num
ber of ballots are numbered; one party
receives 18 votes, another 17 votes, and
one ticket is a blank—without a name
upon it. It takes a majority of the
votes cast to elect. We contend there
was no election; that it required 19
voles to elect.
General Grant has tnade up his mind.
He means to have his own way now.
He has placated' public sentiment long
enough, and he now says down if I don’t
do as I please. Didn’t he sit still and
let a vile conspiracy carry his best be
loved Babcock to tlie verge of the peni
tentiary? Didn’t he let this vile thing
be done and raise no voice? Didn’t he
let Bristow and the rest of the family
prove the White House collusion with
the whiskey conspiracy and suffer them
to eat the president’s bread and butter?
Now anew leaf is turning. He has but
a few months to serve, and during those
months he proposes to run the machine
himself.—Chicago Times, (Ind.)
Fred Grant has been nominated to be
first lieutenant cf the fourth cavalry,
stepping over, if the nomination be
confirmed, thirty two second lieutenants
commissioned long before he graduated,
and twelve lieutenants who graduated
with him and have since been serving
on the plains of the Mexican frontier.
Norwich Bulletin: It seems that the
only body in Custer’s command that was
not stripped of his clothing was that of
a newspaper man. Judging by what we
see at the east. It is probable that his
garments were so rich and costly that
they at once inspired the Indians with
awe.
The Congressional Committee on Ex
penditures in the Naval Department
have discovered such strong evidence of
Secretary Robeson’s complicity in frauds
that .they will report a resolution in
structing the Judicialy Committee to
prepare articles of impeachment against
him.
The Turks have massacred several
hundred woman and children in Bosnia.
They threw them in the air, catch them
on their bayonets afid cut their arms and
hands off.
The recent trout les in Hamburg came
tip in the House. Mr. Lamar, of Mis
sissippi, made a speech vigorously
denouncing the killing of the prison

goverment that has so long prevailed
in South Carolina.

CIRCULATION IN HART COUNTY OF ANY
OTHER PAPER.
Notice to the Democrats of Hart County.
At the last meeting of our Democratic
Society, held on last saleday, members
were appointed to call meetings in their
various districts on the 4th Saturday in
July, 1876, for the purpose of electing
five delegates to meet in Hartwell tbe
first Tuesda}' in August next, who
will form a Convention for the purpose
of nominating a candidate to the Legis
lature from this county. With all earn
estness I call upon you to attend these
primary meetings, and let them be well
represented.
It is the right and duty of every citi
zen to have a voice in the selection of
the next member to the Legislature from
this county, and by a full turnout, and
hearty co-operation at these district
meetings there will be no such word as
fail to the success of our party.
John G. McCurry, President.

Rainfall for the past week* 0 57 inches;
average temperature for the past week,

of Yiolette Cheek.
Hog Stealing.
Henry Turner, colored, a negro work
ing at Hon. Allen Turner’s, was brought
here last Monday and put in jail for the
above offence.
Rain,
Oii'iast Saturday evening this town
was blessed with a refreshing shower.
It was badly- needed, as no rain had
fallen here in three weeks.
District Meeting.
Notwithstanding the hard times we are
authorized to state, that there will be a
fair representation at the district meet
ing from this town and county. The
delegates are F.“B. Hodges, from this
circuit, and Mr. Chesly Scott, from the
Hartwell church.
Our Tailor.
Mr. H. D. Schmidt has fully establish
ed himself here in his business. He is a
fine tailor and is giving general satisfac
tion to his numerous customers. Par
ties wanting work done had better bring
in their orders as soon as possible.
Honey.
Quantities of boney have been
brought to town for sale recently, and
the quality is very fine ; some of it looks
as though it might have been extracted
from the flowers of Canaan, from its
sweetness and clearness.
Baptist Church,
Yesterday there were services held in
this church by the Rev’d Mr. Barton the
pastor. Ho preached a fine sermon to a
large congregation. His text was “Come
unto me all ye that are heavy laden and
I will give you rest.”—Matt xi., 28. Mr.
Barton announced that the regular Bap
tist Union meeting of this District would
commence at Hendry's church next Fri
day .
Bridges.
W r o notice that on account of the
freshet, a good many bridges in the
county have been washed away, and have
not yet been replaced. There is a bridge
near E. R. White’s, on the direct public
road from here to Elberton, which is
gone and causing great inconvenience
to the traveling public. We hope some
efforts will be made at an early day to
replace this and other bridges in the
county that are gone, as the commis
sioners in various districts will stand a
good chance of a fine from His'Honor E.
H. Pottle at the next term of our court
Justices Court 1113th District,
Was held last Saturday in this district,
Justices Williams and Cunningham pre
siding. Theie were several cases tried ;
the one however of most interest was
that of Weatherly & Cos. vs. Milledge
Haynes. In this case the plaintiff re
covered a judgment againtMr. Hodges.
Col. J. T. Osborn was in attendance and
represented the defendant. There was
a considerable crowd in attendance.
Primary Election?.
Lust Saturday being the 4th, the va
rious districts in the county held pri
mary meetings, and elected five delegates
from the various districts to attend the
Convention to beheld here next saleda} 7 ,
for the purpose of nominating a candi
date for the Legislature from this coun
ty. From all accounts these meetings
were well attended, and tUe delegates
were selected with all fairness, proving
conclusively that the people are inter
ested, and intend this year to have a
voice in the selection of their candidate
to the Legislature
Radical Preacher in Jail—Another Account.
On last Wednesday evening Dan Bur
ris a copper colored Baptist preacher,
was lodged in Hartwell jail for breaking
open Hodges and McMullen’s mill and
stealing the toll corn. Said Daniel, it is
hoped, will come to judgment this time,
as he is a notorious rogue, and was run
off it is said, from “New Africa” (alias
South Carolina) for stealing corn from a
mill there. Two of the best niggers in
the county came to town to go on his
bond, but were not worth the amount
required by law. The negro preachers
are a great curse to the country ; the
best of them will lie, steal, swindle, and
take things that don’t belong to them,
and teach their children and followers
to do the same.
Be a:' Killing.
On last Saturday night Mr. Wyatt
Collins was aroused from his slumbers
by some noise in his yard. Ho arose
and armed and equipped himself with
his double-barreled shot gun and went
out, and'Jsure enough there was what he
supposed to be the bear, crouched be
hind his smokehouse. He took aim and
fired at him, when all the result of the
fire was a heavy rattling of chains. He
continued firing three times in rapid
succession, and at each fire he would
hear the rattling of chains. After the
third fire, supposing him good dead, he
advanced on the enemy in good order
and with great care, and on arriving at
the ;spot, great Heavens wlmt a sight
met his igaze: nothing more nor less
than the best new wash pot ha owned,
which cost $6.50 in clean cash at Ben
son’s a short time siuce was shot and
riddled all to atoms. We mourn with
him in his loss, and hope a subscription
may be soon started in his behalf.
Burglary in the Night Tims.
Last Friday morning Mr. Thos. Vick
ery, the miller at Hodges and McMullen’s
mill, 2 miles from town, on opening the
mill discovered that someone had broken
open the same the night previous and
taken off some corn. He at once began
to look for evidences, and on searching
found a track near the entrance, which
was made by tearing off some plank,
which track he followed very easily, as
there had been a slight sprinkle of rain
that night, and tracked it to the house
of Rev. Daniel Bnrroghs, a colored Bap
tist preacher, living some 2 miles from
the mill. He returned to town and got
a warrant and had the negro arrested, a
few minutes afterwards, as he was going
to town. Mr. Vickery again went over
the same ground with some other par
ties, who followed the tracks to the house
of Bnrroghs, and on further search
found the bag of corn containing about
two bushels in the vicinity of his house.
On being brought before Esquire Cleave
iand, the commitiug J. P., his lawyer
waived a committing trail, and on failure
to give bond of S3OO he was committed
to jail.
Burroghs is a noted character amongst
the negroes of this county, and is said
to be a preacher of some ability. He is
supposed to be the ringleader of all the
disturbance last year, j caused by“ find
ing an incendiary letter. He should be
carefully seemed in jail until the next
term of our court, when no doubt he
will at last receive his just deserts.

The Cheapest Soap that can be used for the

2d.—Only half tlie usual rubbing being re

cost of the Soap in labor alone.
3d.—The clothes are made Sweet, Clean and

to them is avoided. There is a saving in fuel
and hard work, and the washing is done in about
half the usual time.
It is also guaranteed under a.penalty of fifty
dollars not to injure the clothes or hands, and
as one trial will enable any person to ascertain
the truth of these statements, it would never
pay the proprietor to engage in an extensive sys

what is claimed for it.
