A RADICAL ROW.
Tho Great Unwashed Have a Characteristic
Frolic.
IT ENDS IN A GENERAL RUMPUS.
A Thousan ‘‘White Men Wanted," and a
Harper's Weekly Reporter.
NOT A WHITE MAN PRESENT.
Fire-Arms and Sails Freely Discussed.
Tho Hamilton Place, a plantation ly
ing a few miles southeast of Elberton,
was the scene of as disgraceful disorder
on Saturday as was ever witnessed in
Elbert county. For. weeks prior to the
day named a pic-nic, base-ball match ntwl
literary contest had been discussed by
tho colored elite of the county,, and a
great parade was had in Elberton by the
black participants on that morning, pre
ceded by tho band wagon, containing an
amateur whistler and bass drum player,
the other scats being occupied by lords
cf tho bat and ball, whose green and
orange shirts and stripes made them
particularly prominent. A number of
wagons followed in the procession, load- ,
cd with colors varying from lavender
brindle to the most loyal black, making
up what was called in times of yore a
most valuable cargo, and needing but
one thing to make the picture complete
in its symmetry: Harper’s Nasty cai
toonogrupher.
With hilarious wit and resounding !
guffaws the crowds from all parts of the j
county drove to that portion of the Ham j
ilton Place tenanted by W illis McGee, j
akin in color and kind, until there wore
upwards of 500 present, surging, halloa- 1
ing and yelling.
All passed off till the dinner hour was j
over without any particular disturbance, !
when there seemed to be a mutual agree !
ment for a general row. The first break j
seems to have been made in the house, j
which was crowded to its greatest capa- j
city. All at once men and women leaped j
from the window and rushed through
the door, crying, “They’re fighting! |
they To flighting!’ And but a little time
elapsed before those out of the house
got at it too. Then followed such a
scene as requires the most vivid imagin
ation to conjure up. Pistols were pro
duced in abundance, rails, sticks, and
limbs of dead trees wore hurled about
with such indiscriminate profusion as to
put heads in danger of being assimilated
to base-balls. One old she-dragon grasp
ed a rail, and breaking it in too with a _
stamp of her foot, approached a big,
burly black man from town, with, “Bay,
nigger, whar ye cum f’m?" “Me! says
tho town darkey, “why, bless ycr soul,
auntie, I cum f'm way down in the
Flat’ds.” “You lie, yer black rascal:
ycr cum f’m dat town, Elbt n, and you s
one o’ dat crowd dat whipped out V> at
son, an’ Ise gwino ter bus' yer black
head open,” and whack she took him on j
tho head with the rail. One man took ;
up another in his arms and going to a ,
big tree, commenced rubbing him up ;
and down against it, saying he was go j
ing to “scour” him. While the fight |
was going on a heavy rain fell and it
turned quite dark. This seemed to ag
gravate tho confusion. The groans of
the wounded, the yells of the hundreds
who were flighting, and the screams of
tho frightened women—all went to make
up a scene of rare description, making
the woods resound with the echoes of
tho sanguinary strife.
Of the wounded from pistol shots wo
have heard of but two—Dr. Edmunds’
driver, Anderson, wounded in tho leg,
and an old woman wounded in tho head,
but tho number of bruised heads and
limbs were too numerous to mention.
There was but one white man present
at this pleasant social reunion—The Ga
zette reporter—and ho was perched up
on one of the topmost limbs of atower-
I ing pine, where with pen and pencil he
noted every occurrence, unseen by the
mob beneath.
Of one thing we are thoroughly con-;
viuced : tho negroes iu this county were |
determined' to have a row, and failing to ;
get up one, after repeated efforts, with ]
tho whites, they proceeded to have a lit-.’
tie wholesome blood letting among them
selves. The convention in Elberton a
few weeks ago was more for tlie purpose
of provoking the whites into resenting
multiplied insults than anything else—'
the idea of calling all the negroes of the
county to a convention to colLct a pal
try £-150 is too preposterous to gull the
most simple hearted—and several efforts
have since been made in various parts of
the county to get up feeling between the
races, but all to no effect. The cool
courage of the whites has defeated the
nefarious designs of these promoters of
strife and will continue to do so. They
are determined to have no difficulty un
less it is forced upon them.
The grand jury that shortly meets has
a duty to perform which every law abid
ing citizen expects of them. We trust
no fear of tho consequences will prevent
a thorough and impartial investigation.

AND EYEEYBODY GET DINNER.
Ono Thousand People Eat and are Filled.
TYe had tho pleasure of attending the
annual reunion of Fork Grange at Fork
Chinch, in Madison county, od Tburs
day last—in fact wo always expect to
have the. pleasure so long as they ex
tend us an invitation and we have the
strength. Those good people know as
well how to fix up for making a crowd
j enjoy itself as anybody on the face of
: the globe, or under it either.
[ Arriving on the ground at about ten
I o’clock we found the exercises about to
| begin. Provided with a comfortable seat
| by that prince of good fellows, J. B. Eb
erhart, the Master, and that excellent
host, Hon. Asa Deadwyler, we had an
excellent opportunity for looking over
the vast assemblage that had crowded
there from Madison, Oglethorpe, Elbert
and Hart, a much larger crowd than had
ever turned out on any former occasion,
from file fact that the reputation of tho
way these Grangers do up things has
gono abroad though our columns, and
curiosity to know what good things
these Nazar ones can do among the un
initiated. Tho crowd was provided with
comfortable seats beneath the umbrage
ous oaks that formed as beautiful a grove
as nature ever constructed or the imag
ination of artist ever conceived. In front
of the scats had been constructed a com
modious stand for the speakers and mas
ters of ceremonies, and such honored
guests as they thought proper to invite.
To the right of this stood Ihe music
stand, occupied by the Bread River
String Band and the Elberton Amateur
Band, who, at appropriate intervals
through the day, discoursed sweet mu
sic to tho delighted throng. To the
rear stood Fork Church, whose weather
stained walls made it a fit background
for this picturesque scene. At the base
of the hill gurgled a stream of nature’s
nectar, whoso escaping stream danced
sportively in the sunlight, as if proud of
being turned loose by a tyrant’s clem
ency to seek more festive scenes in a
wider sphere. All nature seemed to
wear a smiie of welcome, and occasion
ally could be seen groups who would
“smile” back at the old lady.
The exercises commenced with music,
followed by a speech from Georgia’s lion
ored son and promised Executive, Gen.
A. H. Colquitt. For an hour and a half
ho enchained that vast audience with re
marks interesting alike to old and young,
grave and gay, male and female. We
will not attempt a synopsis of this speech,
as it would do its author injustice. It
will suffice to say that politics were not
hinted at, but the whole field of sgncul
lure was swept and its choicest fruits
spread before his admiring auditors, and
closing with a justification of and an
appeal for tho direct trade movement.
The speaker retired amidst the warmest
demonstrations of approval and a show
or. of llcnvcrs.
Then followed dinner, and such a din
ner ! Tho best we can describe it is to
say that none but Grangers could have
provided it. Tables were distributed
promiscuously over the grounds, loaded
with every conceivable kind of substan
tial sand delicacies—prepared in such
a manner as to tempt old Epicurius
himself beyond the bounds of propriety,
free to all who willed to partake, and if
any one resisted the temptation and the
cordial invitation wc have see the
one or hear his name.
After this bountiful repast we were
treated to some delightful vocal music
in the church, to which tho sweet notes
of- tho organ lent beautiful harmony.
Then followed a practical speech on
agriculture from Oglethorpe’s giant far
mer, James M. Smith, whose successful
cultivation of 1,500 acres in cotton, out
side of hie rare practical sense, gained
him the undivided attention of the en-1
tire audience. ■
lien. B. 11. Hill not having put in an
appearance, as had been expected, Col.
J. A. Wright was substituted in liis
stead, who regaled his listeners with a
characteristic speech, which was receiv
ed with marked evidences of approba
tion.
Tho day passed off as pleasantly as it
was possible to be made, and all who
were present will remember the occasion
with emotions of unmixed pleasure.
The crowd was larger than we have
ever seen there before, and reached, we
conjecture, from eight hundred to one
thousand in number.
Fork Grange, the father of this move
ment, is a thriving organisation, nura
boring about fifty members, and is heart
ily encouraged by three other Granges
in Madison county. The amount saved
in purchases by these several organisa
tions will aggregate several thousands
of dollars per y: ar. This particular
Grange is more thriving and prosperous
now than ever before, although at no
| time since its organisation has the inter
; esfc in its welfare been permitted to lan
! guisli, thanks to efficient officers and
! wide-awake members,
i We wish these Madison Grangers con
j tinued and increased success, that their
i annual festivals may keep up a thousand
! years, and we attend them all, always
meeting ihe present livo and energetic
officers.

Off to the Springs.
Quite a number of our citizens have
left for Franklin Springs within tho last
week, among whom wo mention: Gol.
T. J. Bowman, Hon. U. Q. Tate,'Dr. 11.
C. Edmunds, and their several families,
I Col. J. Theophilus Osborn, Prof. Geo.
i Edward Dillard, Mrs. W. 11. Harper, Mrs.
i S. E. Capers and daughter, and many
| others. Franklin Springs is one of the
i best resorts for health to be found in
this or any other State, North or South,
! as will be cheoiffully attested by all who
' iiave tried its waters.
Here and Tkeije,
j Fish-hooks!
Elbert people that attended the Fork
grange festival favor Madison county,
and long for an oecasion to return the
hospitality.
Elberton missed last Sabbath the ma
ay visitors to Franklin camp-meeting.
So wc learn.
Hereafter the S. L B. man will bo
more careful about where ho paints his
signs.
Our natural modesty mutinies, but
then duty compels us to state that noth
ever went wrong in Elberton when we
were at home. Our absence accounts
for the trouble.
Madison is the banner county of the
State for sumptuous and luxuriant
gtange dinners.
The Derrick family in Georgia is no
tod for being the most numerous and
the tallest. So remarked an Elberton
raan.
The convention of the 30th*Senatorial
district convenes at the Glado to day
for the nomination of Senator, and we
wait with anxiety the news of tho nomi
nee.
When the female school opens great
joy will prevail among tho girls. They
are becoming tired of vacation so we
learn.
Crops in Franklin from our observa
tion are not as promising as tliey are in
Elbert. m
Watermelons were the bone of conten
tion in the County Court Monday and
yesterday.
Work has been fairly begun on the
Methodist church.
Our pleasant young friend, Mr. C. B.
Vail, leaves for Augusta to-morrow.
May prosperity attend him through the
changing vicissitudes and meandoring
scenes of life.
Afore cordially tho candidate grips
your hand as the election approaches.
Oh, how very clever and polite it makes
’em.
The beef market is overrun hero at
times. Three on tho block yesterday
morning.
A picnic has been spoken of by some
of the young people about town to-rnor
row.
The farmers are generally pulling fod
der.
Base-ball is still worrying many of
our Elbert mends. In Goshen district
we understand three clubs have been
formed.
Those who havo been rusticating from
Elberton lately have mostly returned,
and announco themselves benefitted by
the recreation.
September court will soon be on
hand, and then tho jail wo gues3 will be

The festive mosquito still hums his

To morrow week is the time for tho

be nothing short of a grand and glorious
Glowed by the many schools in
the county.

The Elberton Female Seminary.
The advertisement of this Institute
came in too late last week for editorial
notice.’ We ask a careful perusal of it.
The lady who presides over this acade
my is full of energy and goabeadativo
ness, and but a short acquaintance with
her is necessary tc convince any one
that she will not accept failure under
any cixcnmstances. Her rare persever
ance will certainly build up a school hero
which has never been surpassed, if
equaled.
The Higginbotkant Ford.
Wo submit to the proper authorities
that the ford known as the Higginbotham
ford should be put m repair, and that
with as little delay as possible. From
what we can gather the road commis
sioners intend to neglect this important
point, and it would be a disgrace to tho
county if this should be done. If an
accident were to happen bore the county
would be put to a heavy expense, and
'we think true economy is in favor of the
repairs at once.
Fortson's Bridge.
John D. James was the successful bid

THE BADIOALS AT MACON.
The radical State convention mot at
Macon on the 16th. There was not
an immense outpouring of enthusiasm,
but the men who attended seemed more
like forced attaches of a bankrupt circus
than of any other institution of the pre
sent day that we can recall.
The j convention was called here for
the puposc of putting forth an electoral
ticket and, if deemed wise, to nominate a
candidate for the office of ‘governor.
The representation was set down at
three members for each congressinal
district, or tweenty seven deiegates in
all, with representatives from tho State
at large.
The convention met at noon in the
hall of tho Isaac’s house, and was called
to order by the big Skowhegan chief, J.
E. Bryant, chairman of the State central
committee. He nominated for perman
ent president of the convetion, Jesse A.
Glen, of Dalton, who was unanimously
elected. Upon taking the chair ho
briefy stated objects jjof the meeting
and declared himself ready to hear busi
ness.
T. S. King was made secretry of the
concern.
Most of the delegates present were
negroes, but Markham, Conley, Prince,
Glover and S. Wise Parker ran tho
CROwd 'pretty much as they desired to
do.
On ‘motion the chair appointed com
mittees of five each upon credentials,
resolutiosn and nominations. All these
| committees were under the control of
i radical office holders and thev evidently
had instructions from high.quarters as
to what their action in this affair should
be.
A lively discussion sprung up at this
point over tho work of those committees
and for a time there was a large sized
pandemonium in progress.
The committee on nominations roporf
cd for electors, etc., tho following list of
names .
Electors at large—Dawson A. Walker
and E. C- Wade, with Josso A. Glenn
and C. O. Fisher as alternates.
First district—John T. Collins for
elector and J. 11. Perry alternate.
Second district—C. W Arnold for
elector, and John D. Dudley as alter
nate.
Third district—B F 801 l for elector,
and W. D. King, as alternate.
Fourth district—R D Locko for elec
tor, and George Morrill as alternate.
Fifth district—Holtzclaw for elector,
and C C Johnson as alternate.
Sixth district-—Jeff Long for elector,
and W W Brown ns alternate.
Seventh district —Z B Hargrove as
elector and W L Goodwin as alter
nate.
Eighth district—V M Barnes for
olector and Jack Hoard as alternate.
Ninth district —M R Archer for elec
tor and W A Pledger as alternate.
Fisher, Long, Heard and Pledger aro
negroes.
Harrison, colored, of Augusta, opposed
the nomination of Holtzclaw as elector
from this end of the lino lie put in
nomination W L Clark, editor of the
Atlanta Republican.
The fifth district delegates would not
yield a point, but stuck to Holtzclaw.
The discussion over the matter was
sharp.
Jack Crown defended Iloltzclaw’s
c’aims while tho Skowheganilo .was for
Clarke but gave way to tho views of tho
interested delegates.
Gov. Conley reported upon tho ex
pediency of nominating candidates for
governor.
Pledger of Augusta opposed tho ro
port in a strong speech. Ho gave his
brethcrcn “Hail Columbia” in a blister
ing speech over their past failures and
bad management
Harrison, of Augusta, backed Pledger
in the fight.
Bryant defended'Xio party but admit
ed that some of tho republicans bad
done wrong.
Tho report of tho committoo was then
adopted and nominations for goicrnor
were declared in order.
Conley then presented the name of tho
Hon Jonathan Norcross, of Fulton
county for tho nomination. Ho paid a
high and glowing tribute to Norcross ;
said he was Jan “old time whig” and
would stump the state with Colquitt.
Pledger nominated James Atkins, a
revenue officer from Savannah.
Jeff Long, of Bibb, nominated Hon.
Amos T Akcrman. In his speech on
Akerman Long said :
“We have no party until wo aro
r eorganizod.”
When tho matter came to n vote every
thing was mixed and tho very “Old
Harry” was to pay for some time.
Finally out of tho confusion, cussing
and complimentary jawing back at cadi
other, came the announcement that
Norcross was nominated “unanimously
by acclamation.”
A dologato—Oh, Lord what a unan
imously.
Tho rosult was hailed with very littlo
and Jonathan made his
“ten strike” all to no purpose seeming
ly.
Tho committee on platform roportod
declaring fealty to tho national party
to its platform and tho platform of tho
late state convention in favor of free,
non-sectarian schools supported by
taxation ; expressing deep abhorrence of
lawlessness; declares opposition to a
constitutional convention, on and orses
Hayes and Wheeler and with feelings of
pride [they present to tho people of
Georgia tho names of Norcross and Wal
ker !
W L Clark’s “bloody shirt” sheet,
published in Atlanta, was mado the
official organ of the parly in tho State.
Z B Hargrove of Romo, who fought
the same tliilig in tho last -state conven
tion arose and attacked the resolution
declaring against a constitutional
convention. Ho took special chargo of
Bryant and raised hide from tho
Skowliegauito at every nttoranco.
Bryant replied to him vory sharply.
S Wise Parker seconded Hargrove's
offorts and said that ia convention was
needed by the people of Georgia and
that ho and Hargrove wore not afraid to
trust democrats to mako it.
Bryant and Conly rallied their forces
and upon a ballot carried tho day, with
sixteen dolcgato favoring no convention
and nino in favor of such convention.
Hargrove filed a wriltcu protest to
tho action. Tho discussion was very
bitter at timos and sometimes quito
amusing.
Tho convention adjourned with clicors
forJllayes, Wheeler and Norcross.
The procession of torchlight bearers
and the gratification meeting at night
were failures.
