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. John D. Humphries. Information Wanted.
