Politics in the Fifth District.
Col. J. 0, McMichenl, editor of the
Bartlesville Gazette, bus this pointed
editorial in a recent issue of his pa
|kt. We /e-produce it wfctmut com
ment :
1 lie prsss of the state tor some days
h*ve been discussing the fact that Mi
Henry W. Grady, ol the Atlanta Constitu
tion, will be a candidate for United States
Senator, for Governor, und lately lie
will stand for Coogress in the Fifth Con
gressional district.
While we do not live in that district, yet
we feel constrained to cull attention to the
tnct, that Mr. (irmly, should he consent to
become a candidate, may find himself con
fronted with his past utterances He is
known ns the editor in chief of the Atlanta
Constitution, u paper of gn at influence
and large circulation. Pending the great
contest, when the Democratic party- was
striving with might and main to hold the
ascendency und secure Mr. Cleveland’s!
election the Constitution not only main
tained an equivocal position on the great
question of Tariff Kelortn, hut was known
as fatoring High Tariff. Ami while Mr.
Mills was struggling to have the Mills Bill
passed, in order to bring relief to the peo
ple, from ltudicul misrule and high tariff
monopolies and oppression, Mr. Grady’s
paper was having Mr. Mills ridiculed as a
‘‘Glittering Ass,” and lauding Mr. Randall
and High Turitt'. May not these matters
rise up and not only demand an answer
from Mr. Grady hut torment biiu?
We are of the opinion that the hone and
sinew ol the Democracy of the Fifth dis
trict are for Tariff Reform nnd wild hold
Mr. Grady to answer at the bgr of public
opinion for the utterances of his puper.—
And we think Mr. Grady and his friends
might well consider this matter before they
enttr Mr. Grady for the race.
And, again, it will be remembered that
Mr- Grady made statements at the banquet
in the city of New York in praise of Mr.
Lincoln, which may have pleased his au
dience, but which, when repeated, may not
fall with pleasure on the ears of an audi
ence in the Fifth District.
Whether the Hun. John D. Stewart, who
has so faithfully and ably represented the
district or someone else is put forth as the
standard bearer in the Fifth, we are quite
sure that the district has true and tried
Democrats, who have always been found at
their post when the fight was on, and we
shall be more (hail surprised if the t ifth
shall so soon turn around and elect a high
Tariff Randall Democrat.”

Cotton Factory tor Covington.
To the Citizens of Newton County :
\ movement is being inaugurated for the
purpose of raising a company to build a cotton
factory in Covington.
It is proposed to place the stock at §25.00
per share, so as to give everybody a chance to
subscribe. Of course you can subscribe for as
many shares as you want. Every farmer, mer
chant, mechanic, professional man, clerk, in
fact, everyone .cau take one or more shares.
Nothing will pay better.
It is desired to raise §IOO,OOO, in 4,000
shares ; but the company will be authorized to
organize when §50,000 is subscribed in 2,000
shares.
A charter will be applied for.
Steps will be taken at once to. procure sub •
scriptious to the capital stock. These sub
scriptions will be made payable under go and and
proper conditions.
The stock will ngt alt be paid for at one
time, as the directors will have the discretion
to cad for it in such installment? as their ne
cessities in pushing the work, may require.
This piari for getting up a cotton factory in
Covington is a good one, and seems to meet
the hearty approval of everyone. All will sub
scribe liberally.
It is earnestly hoped that the various lodges
of the farmers alliance in our county, will give
a helping hand to this valuable enterprise, and
will subscribe liberally towards its capital stock.
The presidents of the various lodges will be
furnished with subscription iijts, as soon as
they are prepared.
These lists will he placed in the hands of
committees, also, and every elfort will be made
to raise the subscription as rapid ly as possible-
Everybody must have an opportunity to sub
sciil>e.
It will doubly pay the farmers to subscribe,
as they can always get a better price for their
cotton at the factory, while it will pay them
handsomely as an investment.
A factory at Covington, costing .SIOO,OOO,
and run to its full capacity, would consume
froip 2,500 to 3,009 bales of cotton per an
num. The advance in price that will be ob
tainable on that amount of cotton, will
amount to a considerable sum each year.
A factory of this character will add about
1,000 to the population of Covington ; and
will increase the demand for all
sorts of country produce. It will benefit the
merchants, by increasing their trade. It will
give employment to mechanics and laborers. —
It will enhance the value of real estate very
considerably jn town and county. in fact,
such an enterprise will be a benefit all.

Death of Miss Phena Woodruff.
On Monday at 5-30 p.m. July 29tb,
Miss Phena Woodruff departed this
life at Colod.en, Ga. Monday after
noon her brother George, accompa
nied by her mother, had been sum
moned by telegraph to come to see
her, as she was seriously sick, but she
died about two hours before they
reached her side. Miss Woodruff was
in the bloom of a promising young j
womanhood, being about 20 years ot j
age. She was a young lady of grace, .
culture aud beauty, was kind, gentle
and benevolent, fche was industrious
and energetic aud bad mastered the
art of telegraphy and left home and
dear ones eighteen months ago to go
forth in the world to fight the battle
of life upon her own responsibility.
Abroad, us at home, she was a favor
ite with all good people.
Her untimely and unexpected death
j is mourned by her many relatives and
J friends in Newton county. Her re
j mains were brought to Salem for
, interment. The sympathies of all
our citizens go out to the grief strick
en family in the (lark hour of their
sad bereavement.
SOMEWHAT PERSONAL.
\V. 11. Brittain, on* of our most
industrious mid gallant young men,
remembered this office with a mum
moth water-melon Tuesday. NVe tip
our hat to friend Henry.
N. CL Leo says if he makes 20 halos
of cotton ho will open a $2,D<X> stock
of goods this full. Cliut will doubt
low make 200 hales and other pro
duce in proportion.
After an absence of 21 years, Mr.
John li. Levy, of Columbus, Ohio,
is visiting his brother, Cupt. J. M.
Levy, of this city. Ho is a genial
jovial gentlemen, und all of us are
glad to sot; him once more.
Mr. J. 8. Mines was called to the
bedside of his sick father in Ogle
thorpe county Monday, and this is
the reason his tailoring establishment
has been elosed since that time.
Messrs. R. W. Bngby, J. C. An
derson, Edmund Hortou, K. 11. (Starr,
Jr., J. M. Levy, John 11. Levy, W.
W. Osborn, K. 11. Yancey and a few
others left for the Third Georgia re
union at Eort Valley Tuesday.
“How would Hon. L. L. Middle
brook do to represent the sth district
in the next Congress?” This ques
tion is being frequently asked just
now, from Dnuglasvillc, in Douglas
county, to Monroe, in Walton coun
ty and all along the line.
We regret to learn that Capt. Vir
gil Boyd, Conductor of the Accomo
dation train, was robbed in his room
in Atlanta Friday night. Five or six
hundred dollars, a diamond pin and
a fine gold w atch and chain were stol
en from him while he lingered on a
bed of sickness.
Monday last our friend, Mr. Dolph
Norton, presented us with a large
basket well filled with extra large and
fine pears, peaches, grapes, etc. He
also sent a big watermelon. These
kind remembrances from true and
tried friends renew the energy, warm
the heart and make this life more than
worth the living. Many thanks, friend
Dolph, may health and happiness,
peace and-plenty ever bless thee and
thine.
Mr. James A. farmer is working
to secure a cotton compress for Cov
ington. lie has over lialf the stock
taken by parties from abroad. The
railroad will give reduced rates on
compressed cotton, so we are told. D
will attract to our matket cotton from
a distance which we have not been in
the habit of getting. We estimate
that in a few years from now, with
the compress in operation, we will re
ceive not less than 30,000 bales of
cotton. The future of our town is
brighter now than ever before if we
will only work and act together.
It reminded us of the good old days
of yore to meet and clasp the hand of
our substantial friend, I)r. Claud C.
Cody, of Georgetown, Texas, Friday
last, lie looks hale and hearty and
healthy and we are proud to know that
he is popular and prosperous in his
new home. Few more solid men can
he found in this country than is Dr.
J Cody. He only remained with us a
few days, but met many true friends
who were happy to meet him and who
will ever have a welcome tor him
when he comes this way. By zeal
and industry, honest and fair dealings
to all men, he has rose to prominence
in his uew r home. May the Master
continue to bless himself his good wife
and two darling little children.
Mr. Geo. W. Dennard gives the
Enterprise a short sketch of his fath
er’s success since he married: “My
father lives in Rockdale county, Shef
field district, 5 miles east of Conyers,
lie has been married 48 years and re
sides to-day where he has lived 47
years. He has never bought a bushel
of corn nor a pound of meat, nor a
sack of flour since he married, and as
a general thing pays cash for his gu_
ano. He has 40 or 50 head of fine
hogs and always has corn for sale.
The secret of success is to raise your
produce at home.” If George had
half the “get up and get” in him that
his father has. he would discontinue
t'> loaf around in the low grounds of
single wretchedness. Get married,
old man, and send 11s a big cake.

Mu. Kiaitoh:- On Saturday last,
27th, yoor correspondent ill company
with a friend, attended tho anniver
sary picnic of Rockdale county Alli
ance, at Smyrna camp ground. As
you know it i- a good piece from Cov
ington, but the writer being curious |
and anxious to see the assembled mul
titude of Allianeemen of ail entire
county, arose at an early hour and
prepared to start soon, hut the morn
' mg was cloudy and threatened a day j
j of rain, hut after consulting with my
' friend, we detrrmiued to risk all and
go So 1 took my overcoat and start
ed. In a short while the clouds dis
appeared and we had a delightful day
and before we reached Smyrna we
felt amply paid for our trip by seeing
on every side the highest evidences of j
prosperity among our farmer friends. .
We met a number of wagons coming
into town leaded with luscious mel
ons —and then us we got into the i
country one would exclaim, “look j
there, w hat a field of corn ? Look ■
yonder, what a field of cotton?” As
we approached farm houses we were i
delighted to see many orchards loaded ]
with fruit in every stage of develop
ment, from the tempting blush of j
ripeness to the natural green of later
; promise, and every now and then
j “Bill” would say “what is the use to j
go to Texas, when Georgia cun make
such a show as this?” and I would
answer “Amen!” and I do believe
that Newton and Rockdale counties
have the best crops they have grown
since 1807.
About 11 o’clock, a. 111. we reached i
Smyrna, and the horses hitched for a
quarter of a mile from the stand, told
that a mighty host had assembled. —
As soon as we could find hitching
room we went to the stand and found
every inch of available room occu
pied, and men standing all around the
edges eager to hear the speaker, Hon.
W. J. Northern, who was addressing
the vast audience. The writer found
a seat behind the stand and listened
attentively to the speech, and from
the way Northern handled the mo
nopolies and trusts it seemed like he
had something “agin ’em,” and was
not afraid to tell it out. lie also ad-
I vised the farmers to stick together
[and put down plutocracy, in which
I sentiment he was supported by the
entire audience, so far as 1 know. Af-
j ter Col. Northern closed, Mr. Harry
Brown, the Alliance editor from At
i lanta, spoke for awhile, advising the
! people to read alliance literature, aud
| he too made a fine attack on the 111011
jey power, and was heartily cheered.
We then had some choice music, al
| ter which the President announced
! that a recess would he taken until H
j o’clock, wheu speaking would again
he resumed.
Invitations to dinner being in order
i vour correspondent accepted an invi
tation to dine with lion. \\ . L. Peek
and his charming family, who made
us feel.that it was a pleasure to them
to have the privilege of waiting on us
and othei invited guests. I looked
at the commissioner of agriculture
and President Northern, and from the
way they enjoyed that dinner, I well
understood why they encourage such
gatherings ; and from the amount of
good things left on the tables after all
were satisfied, 1 supposed that Col.
Peek didn’t, have all the company he
expected. After dinner was over all
the fruit was brought to one gen
eral table and such a display has rare
ly been seen. One member, the sec
retary of Rockdale alliance I believe,
Mr. Goode, furnished 800 pounds of
watermelons. The whole ground was
covered with melons and they were
cut in slices and everyone invited to
help themselves, and 1 tell you we
had a good time.
At 1:30 p. m. the vast crowd as
sembled and after some delightful
music, Col. Peek introduced the ora
j tor of the. afternoon, and as a long
and rather statesmanlike figure ap
proached the platform Livingston
was greeted with a storm of applause !
j that left no longer any doubt that lie |
was the favorite of that vast nsscin
hly. He commenced his speech in a
'calm and composed maimer, pleasing I
;in diction and sensible in thought, 1
1 and for two hours the people listened
| to his arraignment of the enemies of
I the working classes, and from the
1 way he handled his subject he showed
|it was a question near his heart —
jhe showed what the farmer had to
hear from combines and monopolies
: —he showed what must be done to
j cure this great aid growing evil, sta
| ting that a “country’s' prosperity did
; not depend upon its wealth, but upon
a fair distribution of its blessings and
: its burdens. The people heard him
i gladly and cheered him repeatedly,
lie told them that the Alliance had
nothing to fear from without, but the
danger was from within. lie warned
them to put none but friends on
1 guard.
In the afternoon I was honored
1 with a seat on the stage so that I had
a good view of the entire assembly,
ami 1 assure you that I have never
seen a better behaved and more inlet
ligent audience in all my life. They
were earnest ands Tilled in 1,,, thor
oughly united in tin' sublime and
laudable effort to liecome independent
Taking u calm view -if the situation
from the standpoint of mi outsider, I
cannot mac how the Allianeo is to em
ceed unless by concert n! iietimi, Of
course if they suocced all classes are
benefited, and I pray them God speed
for I long to see the happy day when
all men are free.
These gatherings have a fine influ
ence upon tho people in oilier wavs
1 mean the social feature. I saw here
preachers, lawyers, doctors and all
classes represented. The women and
children were out in force, nnd I
think it manly and gallant in the Al
liance to give the women a chance,
and may tho horn of plenty p ur its
rich blessings upon these hospitable I
people in all the future, an.l w hen j
they have other gatherin's we hope i
that everything may he us pleasant
and enjoyable as was that on the 27t,h :
day of July, 188!).
