Old Soldiers at Meigs.
Meigs, Ga., Aug. 6, 1894.
Mr. Editor:—Let mo have a
word to say expressive of my appro
bation of the action of the Confed
erate veterans' meeting at Augusta
on July 28th.
1 love Gen. Gordon; have followed
him through many a hard fought
battle, and he was once considered a
great leader. But he is now a man
of the past, so far as being a leader
in political affairs. The people onee
followed men because they knew no
better, but that day is past. Our
people have reached a point in intel
ligence and general information that
enables them to think for themselves.
The fact is our people have about
eea-ed to take things for granted,
but are looking into matters for
themselves. All, or nearly all, olj
the old soldiers in this section werefl
for Gen. Evans for governS
or, and before he came dorm
would have laid down th -fiH
lives for him, but he was sharp!®
out of the nomination by iiiscrupu
lous leaders, who would rum t-.e
country, if necessary, in < ■! o
carry their point. But what nas
General Evans done? He is no
longer our leader. Why? Be rase
when he came out of the rac for
governor he says to his support- is
“ Bill Atkinson has swindled me nt
of the nomination; now let us all >e
true to the pn’-tv and support hij
for governor.’ I do- ’t know one iu
this community that will take Gen
eral Evans’ advice, but. all will sv.p-
■ port Judge il So you see wo
will go il Wright style inde
pendent.
lou may say to our dear old
brothers in gray over at Augusta
that we, over on this side the st ate,
have come to the conclusion to look
out for ourselves.
Yours truly,
Company D,
9th Ga. Regiment.
A I'opulist Nomiue.
Mr. Editor:—l see that theYvyh
pie’s party of the 11 Ji senatorial dis
trict, composed of the counties of
Terrell, Randolph and Clay, have
nominated as their candidate for the
senate, Hon. T. J. I’erry, of Cuth
bert. 1 wish to say regarding this
selection that a better one could not
have been made. Mr. Perry, whilst
being an extremely modest man, is
nevertheless one of the most capable
men in the state. He is averse to
running for oilice, but his splendid
abilities have induced his friends to
elect him twice, having served in
both the house and senat as a dem
ocrat.
The People’s party are putting
forward some of the ablest men in
the state, and with Hines to lead the
ticket, victory is certain.
The people of the 11th district
need not hesitate to vote for Mr.
Perry—he is a man of integrity—
has convictions and has the courage
to express them. His legislative
work in the years gone by stands to
day as a monument to his worth. It
was ho that put the deaf and dumb
institute in capable and honest hands
and voted to provide for the care of
colored deaf mutes at Cave Springs.
I write, Mr. Editor, from personal
knowledge. Respectfully,
Jefferson.
Clayton County.
On Saturday last, August 4, a
number of populists of Clayton coun
ty met at the county court house for
the purpose of electing delegates to
the senatorial and congressional con
vention, and nominating a candidate
for the state legislature. Perfect har
mony prevailed and the utmost good
feeling existed during the entire
meeting.
Rev. John F. Jones was unani
mously declared the standard bearer
ot the people’s party of Clayton for
the state legislature.
Mr. Jones is a local Methodist
preacher. A man whoso integrity
and purity of character is above re
proach, and whose ability is unques
tioned. The democrats recognize
his strength and the difficulty iu de
feating him. It may safely be said
that he will represent the county in
the next general assembly.
Mr. J. L. Chapp, of DeKalb, was
present by invitation, and delivered
an able address of an hour and twen
ty-five minutes.
