A smart trick indeed ! We under*

to convoy when he said in a speech
at this place that the eoiored people

that Bpeer meant that tbey grew up
rapidly like a mdshroom, and noth¬

that we have heart! some p* the eol
ored people say that they cowld not
be fooled in any such a way, and
that they believed that Speer mean t
just what, he said, and when he said
they were mushrooms, he in sub
stance said they had no soul, and they
did not propose to vote for any man
who woo id assert publicly that th »y
had no soul, no matter wbat promises
he should make afterwards. We
suppose though that Mr. Speer would

had common victories, and just as we
are coming out of cur^strttggie, and
just as tbe Demberatic party is com¬

ty time. You cannot expect all the
evils inflicted by tbe Republican party
in eighteen years to be remedied in

with a long, trying disease to be cored

been given you by an honest Con

the people of this District, and it is
your duty to follow him. I do not
ask you to abandon any peculiar
feelings you may have, ^hile you
may indulge your views andi coii
vince as many as yon please that you
are right. All I say is, keep in ranks;
keep in step to tbe order, and I tell
you victory will come, and it will not
make much difference as to our pecn
liar theories. J have my peculiar
views and I Oelieve they will be ulfci
mately adopted, but I believe that
the Democratic party is wiser than I
am, and if they are not right-1 don’t
want them adopted. When tbey
adopt a remedy, that is going to be
my remedy. It is impossible for pen
to pietwre or language describe the
prosperity we shall see it we wait
and be true to each other. And why
shouldn t we wart ? Haven't we suf

badly as be now does, and it remain^
now ior the wool bat hoys of the

can “shoot" their votes into the bal¬

will decide not to sboot that way.

Sewell’s Neighborhood, Franklin
County, Ga., Sept. 12, 1878
Mr. Editor ‘.—Although nothing
bas appeared in tbe Beqibter, of re*
cent date, from this section of oar
county, we, nevertheless, still Jive,
and our people are now beginning to
re &P the fruits oi this year’s labor,
which has, through tbe goodness of
an AUswise Providence, resulted m
producing tho most bountiful crop of
both corn and cotton that bas been
realized here in a number of years.
So* Pj asing a little economy, I think
they need have no fears bat that hog
and hominy will be plentiful with
them for the next twelve months to
come.
We have at length succeeded m
getting established what our people
have long felt the need of—a Post Of¬
fice, which is a great convenience.
It is located at R. E. McWhorter’s,
about five miles east of Carnesville,
on tbe Pendleton route, and will be
known as “Iron Rock." It owes its
name, so we have been informed, to
tbe ebain of rocks which you no
doubt have noticed in passing tbrongb
that part of the county. R. E. Mc¬
Whorter has received tbe appoint¬
ment of P. M., and C. L. McWhorter
that of Assistants Our neighborhood
should feel greatly indebted to John
G. W. Sewell, Esq., as it was chiefly
tbrongb bis indomitable will and per¬
severance that this office has been
established.
The interest manifested in tbe or*
ganization of our Sabbath School,
several months since, is still unaba¬
ted, and while other schools are sus
pending until next spring, I think it
is the intention oi our worthy Super
itttendent, Mr, Wm Brackett, not to
go into “winter quarters" at all, but
to carry the school on through the
whole of the winter, which we think
is a Very good idea, as there will not
be so many camp meetings and other
protracted meetings to interfere, and
that more real good will be accom
plished by a winter campaign,
The public school at this place, un«
der tbe Control of Dan'l. McKenzie,
as teacher, will come to a close in a
couple of weeks. During the first six
or seven weeks we had a flourishing
school, but tbe attendance r.ow, on
account of the patrons having to
stop their children to pick cotton, is
very small. It is almost impossibl
to keep up a school In this whol e
country, now, after cotton begins to
open, and I think, as it was tbe in
tention of the school law, to result in
the greatest good to the greatest
number, our County Board of Edu
cation did great injustice to both pa*
tron and teacher, in not allowing tbe
time to be divided, especially where
there was ten months schools, as has
been the custom heretofore; Then
the patron would have received some
of the intended benefits of the law
by enabling him to send to school
the full three months. As It is, the
public schools now commence the
8eC ond week in July, and about the
time they are half out our fodder
eorae8 0 n and we have to stop our
children from school or lose our fod
der . and by the time we get through
with it cotton is ready to pick, and
80 wo don’t have a chance to send
any more, while the teacher is re¬
paired to sit in the school room tbe
full three months, / the Tatter part of
wb,eh u* l th ® m8y> ' ,ty , bave only , em P‘y
benches fer pupils, or he is not enti¬
tled to bis pay. So away with such
a system, say we. Don't yon ?
Since they have got the cars run¬
ning on the E. A. L. R. B. we feel
that we have got nearer the business
marts of the world, and the constant
“toot" of the engine for the last week
or two bas caused w* to doubt wheth¬
er we were still in old Franklin or
not. Tbe road vs not completed as
yet,but ere manj more months elapse
I guess will be, when tbe people of
Elberton will enjoy wbat tbey have
so long desired, railroad communica¬
tion with the outer world.
So far as politics are concerned I
believe our people's ideas are ail pret-
ty much the same way—that is, to
stand by the regular nominee and
organised Democracy. Through ita
organization we have been delivered
from Radical rule and through its
disorganization we may be placed
under it again, but if we are we can
have it to say, and that truly, that it
was none of our doings that caused
t* Demo.
INDElrBNDENTISM,
We copy tbe following from the
Anderson, 3. C. t Journal of the 13th
instant:
“The following is a short conver¬
sation that took place between a
prominent citizen of Anderson and
a citizen of Franklin county, Ga.,
while the former was visiting in the
latter's locality;
Georgian —Have you any “Inde¬
pendents" over in your country?
Carolinian—-O b, no; none what¬
ever. Of coarse there are a few
white men over there mean enough
to undertake run independent,but if they were to
would it they would be killed at
once—we put them out of the
way, dispose of them. The national
government won't allow os to kill
negroes, bat independent white men
stand no chance at all.
Georgian, (excitedly)—But don’t
tbe officers of tbe law do anything
with the men whodod.be killing?
Carolinian— Ob, yes; the man
that does tbe killing is tried and
fice hung for it, but who wooido't sacri¬
a man once in a while for the
good of the country ?
At this point tbe Georgian walked
off demurely, and our friend was as¬
tounded to learn that he had been
talking the “Independent to a prominent member of
Georgia District. He party" in tbe 9th
says he is sorry
be talked so plain to tbe man’s face,
but nevertheless the truth must be
told."
