To the People of Paid win County:
As many names have been present
ed to represent you in the next Leg

Newell, a gentleman eminently qual
ified for a seat in the House of Rep
resentatives.
We want a man—able, honest, en
ergetic and influential, in view of the
Convention and Capital questions.
It is of the first importance that old
Baldwin should be ably represented
at Atlanta. Capt. Newell has proved
himself a gallant soldier on the field,
where he received a dangerous wound
with the loss of a limb, in defence of
your liberty and property, and if
you should elect him as your Repre
sentative, you will find him always
at his post, battling ably and man
fully for your rights and the inter
ests of the State. He is a large
planter, whose interests are in sym
pathy with yours, and will do all in
his power to advance the Agricultu
ral prosperity of the State.

THE YELLOW FEVER.
The Latest Reports from Savannah.
The Telegraph & Messenger cf
this (Tuesday) morning says :
We met several old Savannah ac
quaintances on Sunday who came up
ou the morning train, some of whom
went on to Atlanta and a few of
whom are still sojourning in Macon.
They gave us gloqmy accounts from
oar sister city, and were all of the
opinion that the fever is on the in
crease. One gentleman informed
ns that oat of a police force of at
least ono hundred, only ten were re
ported for duty on Friday night.
Such was the demoralization. He
stated that it was with the greatest
difficulty families could make their
necessary purchases of groceries, etc.
Several large grocery houses had al
ready closed and others had an
nounced their intention of doing so.
The city has been greatly thinned
out, and departing trains continue
to cany out full cars to the geighbor-
ing villages along the several rail*
ways. Isle of Hope, White Bluff,
Thunderbolt, and all the surround
ing resorts are crowded with refugees,
as also Whitesville, where it is now
impossible to secure aocommodat
tions. The panic, however, has sab-
sided to a great extent, and those
who remain in the city are mostly
old residents for whom the fever has
no terrors. Of course there are those
yet remaining of the poorer classes
who are unable to get away, but who
are being properly cared for through
the efforts of the Benevolent Socie**
ty and the liberality of wealthier cit*
izens.
From a gentleman who arrived
lost night, we ascertained that there
were a greater number of new cases
and a heavier mortality on Sunday
than npon any day since the breaking
oat of the fever. From the ponver-
sations we bad with several passen
gers, it was impossible to find oat
anything definite as to the number
of deaths—some placing the figures
as high as fifteefi, and others twenty.
Enongh was obtained to satisfy us
that the pestilence is far from sub
dued, and, in the words of a promi
nent citizen of Savannah, ‘‘hardly
will be until frost, or until all who
can get out of the stricken city.”

Dear Sir :—
We, the undersigned, citizens of

yourself the wisdom of experienced
statesmanship, and almost unlimited
knowledge of the political affairs of
the Republic, would most earnestly
and respectfully request that you
visit our town on Wednesday, the

our Government, and the prospects
of the Democratic party.
Trusting that your health may

My DEAR SIRS :
Your kind and highly esteemed
communication of the 22d inst, was
received yesterday.
Allow me to return you my most
sincere thanks for the sentiments ex
pressed in it.
Two considerations, however, con
trol me in declining to be with you on
the day named.
The first and chief is that, from
the connection of my name with the
Congressional nomination for this
District, which is to take place in
your town on that day (the 6th prox
imo), I think it would bo improper
for me to be present and make an
address at that tinie. While I feel
assured that no such idea entered
your minds, yet it might be unjustly
attributed to a desire to influence
the action of the nominating Conven
tion.
In the second place, I hardly feel
strong enough, as yet, to venture
upon making a public speech. While
I have greatly increased in strength
in the last five or six weeks, I am
still, however, not in a condition,
physically, to enter upon a canvass.
I will barely add that, if I continue
to improve in health and strength
for the next six weeks as I have for
the last six, I will, if desirable, give
you such an address as you request
sometime before the elections.
Yours most respectfully,
Alexander H. Stephens.

SpRiaensLD, Ga., April 1, 1876.
O. M. Stone, Augusts, Ga.—Sir:
Your note of inquiry, concerning the
G- L L. D. C. Gin purchased of you,
came safely to hand. I bought of
you a Forty Saw Gin in September,
1872, and have used it up to date. I
have run it both by steam and horse
power, and have never broken any
part of it, not even one tooth off of
a saw. The lint is free from motes,
and has given entire satisfaction to
myself and all my neighbors whom
I have ginned for, and brings from
one-half to a cent more than any
gin in my parts in Savannah market.
I have never had sufficient power to
try the gin to its utmost capacity,
but can readily gin a 500 lb. bale in
three hours, and am satisfied that,
with the right power, gearing, &o.,
could gin a bale in two hours. It
yields more lint to the amount of seed
than any gin 1 have ever tried, and
can cheerfully recommend it to any
who may wish to purchase a first
class cotton gin.
Respectfully,
F. R. Tarver.

O. M. Stone, Esq., Cotton Factor
and Agent Gullett Gin Manufactur
ing Co., Augusta, Ga.—Dear sir: In
reply to your note, I take pleasure in
stating that, having used Mr. Gul-
lett’s Improved Light Draft Cotton
Gin for two seasons, turning out
over three hundred bales, I am pre
pared to give a decided report npon
its merits. I regard it, in all its
parts, as a complete machine. Per*
faction seems to have been reached.
Its solidity, as to mounting, gives it
smoothness and steadiness of move
ment at any speed. Owing, proba
bly, to the long teeth of the saws,
the lint is separated from the seed
without cutting or waste, furnishing
a sample that attracts the favorable
notice of all cotton buyers. The
seed neatly and closely trimmed, and
the whipping movement on the steel
ribs frees the lint of all dirt and
much of the trash, making what one
frequently expects to be inferior cot
ton tom out good ordinary to low
middling. The other features—as
the endless brash belt, the swinging
front board, Ac,, add much to the
comfort of the ginner. I have seen
many good gins of other manufac
tures, but, as far as my acquaintance
extends, I regard Gullett’s the best
in America.
Respectfully yours,
Robert E. Allen.

Just at this time a little money
goes a long way. With those who
handle but little of it, it passes rap
idly from hand to hand. It is a duly
to the community, as well as to in
dividuals, that those who have money
should pay their small debts at once
and keep the money circulating. It
is strange that men who have the
money will put off the payment of
small amounts when if they would
let it out of their miserly fingers it
would gladden the hearts of so many.
When they owe and can pay they
have no right to withhold the money
and doing so will bring s corse
upon them.

From considerable experience in

countryman has any showing in a
county convention, as in such con
vention the town is supreme and the
country, though greatly in the ma
jority, has no voice. Therefore, I will
not submit my name for candidacy
in any convention, where the righto
of the country have been uniformly
ignored. Therefore I will not seek,
or accept a nomination by a little
clique of a dozen or twenty men of
Milledgeville, bat relying npon the

hereby announce myself as an Inde

DIED!
On the 18tli ult., at the residence of her
father. Judge D. U. Tucker, Mrs. Am nix
Harris, wife of tho late J. II. Ilarri*, aged
tweuty-nine years.
A few short years ago As*ie stood upon the
threshold of life a happy bride t married to the
man of her choice, loving aud beloved, in high
health aud surrounded by m&uy of earth’s best
gifts, she had promise ef a long and useful life i
none had brighter hopes. Alas! how soon
dimmed! Scarce one brief year had parsed,
before she was called to watch her husband
fade from lier sight, slowly but surely dying.
Faithfully sbejuursed him. tenderly caring for
and ministering to his every want i she saw him
die, but was sustained by the blessed hope that
he had obtained salvation through Jeeas Christ
our Lord. The rod of chastening brought forth
th* peaceable fruits of righteousness in her
heart, aud soon alter his death she united with
the Presbytrrian Church, in which she had been
reared, and dedicated, by baptism, her little
daughter to God. Thenceforth she devoted her
self to her invalid father, dutifully caring for
him till death had set his seal ou h*r brow and
almost held her iu his grasp t she was to him the
best of daughters.
None who looked upou the sweet face lying
in its cofiiu-bed, could doubt that she had found
that peace which passeth understanding and
was at rest.

LEE’S SIMPLE
Cotton Cleaner
AND
ROANOKE COTTON PRESS!
Two of the most valuable inven
tions of the age.
Cheap and Reliable!
D OING THE WORK CLAIMED for them
with Perfect Satisfaction. Everybody own
ing a Gin House must have a CLEANER, and
all in need of a PRESS will find it greatly to their
interest to call npon or address me before pur
chasing elsewhere. With a saving of from
twenty five to fifty per cent., you can get a
Press excelled by none.
Pickens Cocnty, Ala., April 21, 1876.
We the undersigned, do hereby certify that
we have seen Lee’s “SIMPLE COTTON
CLEANER’’ at work, and that it will do all
the inventor claims for it, viz: It will take out
at least three-fourths of the trash and every par
ticle of dirt, and enhance dirty cotton in value
from t*fo to three cent6 per pound.

From Messrs. Newbould St Son, Woodville,
N. C.:
“The Roanoke Cotton Press purchased of you
Inst season has proved entirely satisfactory. We
had used two other Presses before purchasing
yours, but found objectionable features in themi
we therefore threw them aside, intending to con
tinue trying nntil we found one to suit os. We
have examined several oi the leading Presses
but prefer yours to any we have seen. For
speed and strength we think it is without a
rival. We have seen two of the leading Presses
at work ami are satisfied we can pack a bale in
half the time it will take to pack with them.
We therefore recommend it to be a first-class
Press iu every respect.”
From Mr. A. Vatin, Rich Square, N. C.:
“I have pressed one hundred sixty-eight bales
in my Koauoke Cotton Press. Some weighing
tire hundred aud eighty pounds. My press ia in
splendid order, aud if not consumed by fire, I
think it will last an age.”
Call on me and examine working
models of both Press and Cleaner.
