Colquitt the Man.
We give elsewhere the proceedings
of the nominating convention at Atlanta
last week. Our judgment is that the
cordial unanimity, with which Col
quitt was supported alone prevented a
hopeless split in the Democratic party of
Georgia. As it is, w do not believo there
will be an in dependant candidate, or if
there is, that he will get any respota
jble support outside of the radical
ranks
The Haft Oonuty Noinminee.
We congralulate the citizens of Hart
county in their selection of a candi
date for the Legislature. John B.
Benson is one of the cleverest men in
this or any other State,- and is a man in
every way qualified for the position.
He will do his county credit. We
know there is no danger of an independ
ent candidate, for thero is- no man of
courage enough to run against -‘Old
Benson.”
0. W. Seidel, Esq.
. Wo are gratified to learn from our re
turnfed delegates from the gubernatorial
convention that this gentleman, our
Hart county correspondent, was one of
the secretaries of that convention.
His superior abilities in this line of
business, which he has proved conclu
sively in this district, recommend him
to the good wishes and votes of the
people, and with the next legislature,
we speak for him an unanimous election
to the place of clerk of the House of
Representatives.
Where are the Murders Committed?
In looking over the dispatches of last
Tuesday, we find six murders commit
ted, but one of which occurred in a
Southern State—that of State Senator
John H. Loughborough at Little Rock,
Ark., and yot troops have never been
called for in the North to suppress
violence, nor in the South either, except
Where the governor is a carpet-bagger
hr Scalawag.
We commend Mr. Chedel to the
citizens of Hart who have any work in
his line as a practical jeweler. Help him
along.

To tho Trustees of tho Hartwell High

Gentlemen: You havo doubtless al
my circular for tho next
session of our school.
Pleaso accept my your very
favorablo andjjommendatory notico of
the school. The just appreciation of
those for whom we lal or sweetens toil,
and engenders a spirit of greater effort
in the future. While indifference or
neglect on the part of those served is
the inevitable death to all enterprises of
a public character. It shall therefore
be my aim and assiduous endeavor to
make tho school still more worthy tho
confidence and support of its patrons
and tho commendation of its friends:
With sentiments of regard and es
teem, I am, gentlemen,
Your obedient servant,

Last Saleday. .
There was a tremendous crowd in at
tendance, it being the day of nomina
tion, proving conclusively the predic
tion that We have previously mads that
a complete revolution is taking place in
the minds of the people this year in po
litical matters. This change is, - that
now the people are going to be heard,
and each individual by his vote intends
to record his principles. There was no
business of importance outside of the
meeting and the day passed off very
quietly-
Delegates were appointed to attend
the Congressional convention, which
meets at Thompson, on tho 6th of Sep
tember next. We hear that the dele
gates were unins true ted, but that the
motion was made and carried in tLe
meeting that the sense of this county is
that they go for a "live man "
John B. Benson
Was unanimously nominated by the
Democrats of this county on last sale
day, as our representative to the next
General Assembly, and we can heartily
congratulate the people of this county,
that in selection of this gentleman, the
result has been to harmonize the people
of this county, as there will be scarcely
a dissenting voice to his election.
Mr. Benson built the first cabin in
Hartwell, and opened the first stock of
goods in this place. General Blassin
game and Major Benson, his grandfath
ers, represented Greenville, and his lath
er Pendleton, district in the South Ca
rolina legislature for a great many years.
His father was actively engaged for 56
years in mercantile pursuits, and Mr.
Benson has been in the same business
for over 40 years. He was elected State
Senator from this district in 18G2 and
gave entire satisfaction to his constitu
ents. After the war, old security debts
come against him that he thought had
been paid twenty years previously. He
sold every foot of land that he possessed
with everything else he had wdrth any
thing, and also borrowed large amounts
of money besides, to pay them. He is
now even with the world, besides since
the war ho ha3 made and lost two for
tunes in this county. He is entirely
identified with otir people, knowing the
wants of the county, with plenty of
common sense and an inexaustible fund
of wit and humor. We are satisfied he
will make the befit representative that
we could possibly have selected. Citi
zens of Hart county, let us do our whole
duty, and show by the unanimous vote,
which will bo cast at the next October
election, that the people of this county
are a unit in their principles, and that
thero is not one single disseutor amongst
us.
Jail Delivery.
Yesterday morning the quiet monoto
ny of this town was very seriously inter
rupted by tho startling news that the
three prisoners in our jail had all made
their escape the night precious.
The wall of thejj building is built of
logs of two thicknesses, and tho inside
filled up with small rock. The floor is
of heavy logs ; the upper ceiling is of
le gs six inches thick.
Through the upper ceiling is where
the prisoners mrde their exit. With the
aid of an auger thoy bored a hole
through of one of tho upper logs of
about 12 inches in width, and also
through the oak planks; after doing
which, their escape was comparatively
easy, as they had only to go through
the weather boarding at the gable end
of the building. It is supposed they
went out about 10 o’clock on Saturday
night last. They left a saw, auger, and
file behind, which tools had been furn
ished them by confederates from the
outside. While they were at work, one
of the party beat on the inside door, the
noise resembling a bass drum. This
was for the purpose of drowning
Iroluw ttrno jllilg Litr- DC- ; JH-3S0 1 • - - o iv.
tools.
This breaking out of our jail is very
much to be deprecated, and is exceed
ingly humiliating to our county. Steps
should bo promptly taken by our next
grand jury to have a/new rock jail built.
We have one of the most flourishing
counties in the State so far as finances
are concerned, and could build a jail
with comparative ease.. Not a single
item of public expenso out of the coun
ty treasury, outside of keeping in repair
our courthouse—our poor house being
self-sUstaining, and we earnestly insist
that prompt action should .be taken to
give us a safe and secure jail. It is a
lamentable fact that since the war there
has not been a singlo prisoner of note in
jail but has made his escape, and
we"have only kept those that did not
want to get away.
Our principal prisoner this time was
Daniel Burroughs, colored, whose of
fence was burglary in the night time—
breaking open Hodges & McMullen’s
mill. •
We give tho following description of
Daniel: He is about 5 feet high, weighs
135 or 140, is copper colored; he is
pleasant spoken, and has a pleasant and
somewhat polished manner; and is a
Baptist preacher of some note and
ability.

Hart County, Ga., Aug. 7, *76.
Mr. Editor : As farming has become
an old thing, and is not proving very
lucrative with our worthy and enterpris
ing friend, Warren Jones, I wish to say
to the public that he has taken an agen
cy,. or is about to, under one of our old
citizens for the sale of tar and ax-helves,
in order to accumulate losses sustained
by the recent freshet, etc, I bespeak
for our friend a lively trade, as he is a
very energetic man. The tar and ax
helves are of the very best quality.
Those wishing to purchase would do
Well to examine his stock before pur
chasing elsewhere. The above goods on
exhibition at the cross roads on Cold
Water creek, at the old Dodd place.

We think a newspaper for the people
of this county is about to become a cer
tainty. Messrs. Belcher & McGill, two
newspaper men of Anderson, S. C.,
formerly proprietors and editors of tho
Sun newspaper of that place, have an
nounced that they would commence the
issue of a paper here at once.
We bespeak for ' them'a hearty sup
port from the people of our county, as
there has been a general desiro to have
a local paper. There'is no better field in
Georgia for a paper than Hart county,
and with energy and industry on tho
part of the proprietors, there can bo no
such word as fail.
Staid Agricultural Convention.
This convention which assembles at
Gainesville to-morrow, will be represent

in attendance.
At Sardis Cimrch,
Five miles from Hartwell, yesterday, be
ing regular preaching day, there was a
large crowd in attendance. Services
were performed by Rev. Mr. Barton,
who delivered a very able and impress
ive sermofi His subject was principal
ly that of the education and training of
the young, and bringing them up in the
fear of the Lord. He announced that
he would commence a protracted meet
ing at this place on next Tuesday, to
continue Saturday and Sunday, and
perhaps longer.

Boston, Dec. 12, 1869.
Gentlemen—My only object in giving you this
testimonial is to spread valuable information.
Having been badly afflicted with Salt Rheum,
and the w r hole surface of my skin being covered
with “pimples and eruptions, many of which
caused me great pain and annoyance, and know
ing it to be a blood disease, I took many of the
advertised blood preparations, among which was
any quantity of Sarsaparilla, without obtaining
any benefit until I commenced taking tho Vege
tine, and before I had completed the first bottle
I saw that I had got the right medicine. Conse
quently, I followed on with it until I had taken
seven bottles, when 1 was pronounced a well
man, and my skin is smooth and entirely free
from pimples and eruptions. I have never en
joyed so good health before, and I attribute it
ail to the use Vegetine. To benefit thosebifflict
ed with Rhematism, I will make mention also of
the Vegetine’s wonderful power of curing me of
this accute complain of which I have suffered so
intensely.
