Crops in Baker are looking well, al

of the caterpillar. In some places the
cotton is shedding slightly, but the pros

The Free Bridge—We Are to Have It
The election On the bridge question
came off on Saturday last, and resulted
In favor of the purchase of the bridge un

Commissioners. The vote stood 449 for
Co 16 sgainst. Read the notice of the Or
dinary to tie foirtnl in another column.
We believe this to lie a good move on
the part of our citizens. The proposal to
buy it and make it free at ouec having
been voted dowq, the plan now proposed
appeals to us the best and quickest that
could have been adopted under the cir

THE BARBECUE AT WALKERS STATION,
Editors News—Your letter to me at
Arlington requesting that I represent the
News at the barbecue at Walker’a station
on Friday last, reached me at a late hour
Thuraday night, but by stirring my
stumps I was enabled to comply with the
request.
Arriving at an early hour I was sur
prised to find already on the ground rep
resentatives from Dougherty, Calhoun.
Lee, Early, Randolph, Mitchell and Ba
ker counties, the most conspicuous figure
being that of our worthy townsman, H.
Cook, with white hat set well back on
his head, cane in hand, benign expres
sion of countenance and loosely fitting
vest; ’twas evident to the most casual ob-
aerver he'd come to enjoy the occasion.
By eleven o'clock there were'four hun
dred people present, and still they came
In buggies, carriages, wagons, carts, ou
mule-back and on horse-back, until at
least seven hundred people had assembled.
In the meantime the depot floor had been
cleared, and a dance was soon In pro
gress, the music being furnished by a
colored brother, whose execution and se
lection of pieces were alike rather crude,
with much merriment. The advent of a
string band from Albany, which had
been employed for the occasion, but
which was detained by an accident, was
hailed with delight, and the disciples of
Terpsichore were soon at it in earnest.—
As usual, the Albany boys were decided
the best dancers among tile gentlemen
present, but a certain Miss W. was the
cynoscure of all eyes. Attractive in form
and feature, her easy, dignified manner
and graceful carriage, elicited exclama
tions of admiration on all sides. During
the progress of the dance a barouche,
drawn by four black horses, drew up to
the depot from which alighted the Hon.
H. G. Turner, J. W. Walters, Y. C. Rust
Sherm Barnes and Capt. R. Hobbs.—
Soon a buzz rail through the assemblage:
‘Capt. Turner’s come,” “Turner’s
come,” etc. Dismounting from my percli
on the desk, from which exalted position
had beeu busily engaged in “taking
dots,” I repaired to the end of the depot
platform, where I saw a gentleman talk
ing in a subdued tone to Capt. J. T. Hes
ter. The resemblance between the two led
me to believe the stranger a relative of
Capt. II., but just at this moment Capt.
Weston stepped forward and the stranger
was introduced as Capt. Turner. Hav
ing received an introduction I stepped
back and listened for a few moments to
tlie conversation, in the meantime closely
observing the gentleman, a sketch of
whom may prove interesting to some of
our patrons: Atom 43 years of age, ills
statute is about f> feet 10 inches, weight
liiOpounds;of modest nielli, with au eye
which lietrays a great deal of latent spirit,
high, prominent forehead, hair liberally
sprinkled witli gray, a sensitive chin, hut
with a mouth indicative of an indomitable
will; so appeared to me the gentleman
who will, in Novcuitor next, succeed our
beloved townsman, Hon. W. E. Smith.
Capt. Turner is, unless appearances arc
deceptive, a man worthy of, and will fill
satisfactorily any office in the gift of the
people.
As it hail been generally understood
that there would be no political speeches
on this occasion, it was only after earnest
solicitation on the part of the managers of
the entertainment that Capt. Turner
promised that after dinner he would ad
dress a few remarks to those assembled.
Soon thereafter the call to dinner was an
nounced, and accompanied by the fairest
dame In Calhoun county, I made my way
to the tables which were overloaded with
flesh, fowl and game, in every style
known to culinary artists to tempt the ap
petite, where I soon became oblivious to
all surroundings in the endeavors to fill
the void within. Suffice it to say, ( suc
ceeded, and there was more.
The people having become clamorous
for a speech, Capt. Turner stepped for
ward, and stated that having been for
forty or fifty days submerged in the politi
cal stream, lie hail conic here to see the
people and rest; that a political spedhi
would be inappropriate to the occasion;
he thanked the people of Dougherty, es
pecially the young men, for the earnest
support he was receiving at their hands,
and stated that he did not wish to super
cede the Hon. W. E. Smith in the hearts
of the people, but craved the second
place; he did not wish to hare it said that
he was the cause of any dissension on so
pleasant an occasion; he thanked the peo
ple for their attention and trusted that as
he became better acquainted the stronger
would become the bond of affection which
united himself and his eonstitueney,
Capt Turner was followed by Judge
Jones, who gave a short and touching bi-
opraphieal sketch of his life, as the most
appropriate speech on this, the occasion
of his first public speech in his boyhood
home.
Mr. Jones was succeeded by Hon. J.
W. Walters, who in a neat and appropri
ate speech, promised Mr. Turner the
earnest and hearty support of the young
men of the county, which speech met
witli a hearty accord from ail the young
men present.
W. P. Lovett having been called upon,
replied, “his was for sale, but was ‘pri
vate stock,’ and could be found at L. E.
A H. E. Welch’s, in Albany,” etc.
The proposition to Mr. Jones to make
a Colquitt speech was gracefully declined,
but the proposition made in return by
Mr. Jones that the issue between the Col
quitt and anti-Colquitt parties to settled
by a race between the two in an earnest
endeavor on the part of each to roll up
the greater majority for Turner, was re
ceived with applause. After a little
further discussion regarding the crops,
price of cotton and fanning matters gen
erally, 1 took a scat with Mr. Marx Smith
and reached home just at sun set, having
passed a day long to to remembered

The Base liall season was brought to a
close by a iiialeh game between the Ath

season, ami as they have been defeated
in but one they feel -.veil satisfied.
On Wednesday last the good people of
Blakely put their best foot forward and
gave tile visiting club a royally gran I time.
Their hospitality was unbounded. Not
a word of dissension was uttered daring
the day. Judging from the reluctance
of some of the boys to return it must be'
that Blakeley possessed! charms we wot

was ajnoted cook, and for years
had charge of the kitchen of the famous
Byingtou Hotel, at Fort Valley. For

Phobably a Duel.—Norfolk, Aug.
30—-There is intense axeitement in the
city and community over an expected
hostile meeting between Capt. James
Harrow Hope, Editor of the Norfolk
Landmark, a distinguished writer and
journalist, and Col. Wm. Tamili, Mayor
of Norfolk, an elector on the Readjusters,
Hancock and English electoral tickets,
and a politician of note. Waarauts have
been issued for the arrest of both parties,
but thus far they have successfully elu
ded detection. Col. Lamb left the city
this morning by private conveyance, ami
Capt. Hope cannot to found. If the
meeting lias not already taken place, it is
thought the duel will lie fought early in
the morning.
The immediate cause of the difference
was a card published by Lamb, on Satur
day, characterizing a paragraph of an
editorial letter 'written liy the editer of
the Landmark as n deliberate falsification
for partisan purposes. Both of the gen
tlemen are of acknowledged courage.—
Col. Lamb commanded Fort Fisher when
it fell before Gen. Torry, in January
1864.
Norfolk, Va., Aug. 21—The duel that
was to have taken place this morning be
tween James Bannon Hope, an editor of
the Norfolk Landmark, and Col. William
Lamb, mayor of Norfolk, was prevented
by the arrest of Mayor Lamb, just as he
was leaving his - house for the place of
meeting, about fifteen miles from here,
on the North Carolina boundary line,
near Great Bridge.
The arrest was made at 4 o’clock, as
Mayor Lamb was entering a rowboat at
his private landing. He was taken be
fore a magistrate and bound over to keep
the peace on a bond of twenty thousand
dollars. Capt. Hope eluded the police
and reached the rendezvous. He will re
turn to tlie city to-day and give bond to
observe the peace.

Mr. Frank Little has retired from the
editorial management of the Sparta Times
and Planter. The stockholders wanted
it edited In tlie interest of the committee
of eleven and their alleged candidate,
but Mr. Little is for Colquitt, and he re
tired.
Mr. Frank Little, recently editor of
the Sparta Times and Planter, and a Col
quitt man, lias resigned that |iosit!oii.
The stockholders of the paper were anti-
Colquitt and demanded that the editor
should write in favor of Mr. Norwood.
We extract from his valedictory, whieli
is a strong and manly article:
My connection as editor of the Times
and Planter terminates abruptly with this
issue ol the paper. It is unnecessary to
go into the details further than to say that
this state of things has been brought
about by the fact that my earnest advo
cacy of Gov. Colquitt’s cause during the
present campaign lias been distasteful to
a majority of the stockholders of the pa
per, who have demanded that tlie claims
of lion. Thus. Norw ood shall receive edi
torial endorsement. When employed by
them in March last to undertake tlie edi
torial control of the paper it was with no
understanding that any views oropinlous
should find endorsement or advocacy in
its columns except those of the editor;
any other suggestion would at once havu
terminated all negotiaations on tlie sub
ject.
In all sincerity, in all honesty aud witli
all fidelity I liave sought to think what
was light, and I have written what 1
thought. Opinion with me is sacred,
and my convictions are pirceless. 1 do
not mean to imply in any sense that any
influence has been itnployed to induce
me to say what I did not think nr to sup
press what I did, but I could not havebeeu
more surprised at any pro|K>sit)on than
that assumed by these |iarties, that the
political opinions of tlie paper were sub
ject to their dictation, and because they
owned the majority of it stock they could
control tlie political course. It was only
after wc could not agree upon this that
they determined to employ an associate
editor to give expression to their views,
especially in advocacy of Mr. Norwood's
election " as Governor.—Regarding this
step as an infringement of my contract,
and as an unwarranted inteference witli
my rights as the editor 1 cannot consist
ently witli my views of what is right re
main longer in that position. I cannot
afford to fly any other banner at the head
of any column for which 1 write, hi this
canpaign than that of Alfred II. Colquitt’s
who is enthroned in the hearts oi an over
whelming majority of the voters of Han
cock coimtv.

from him on tlie slavery question and de
