A smart trick indeed !

This is so thin, however, 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.

It is a bad to get out of humor. Give the Democratic par* ty time. You cannot expect all the evils inflicted by tbe Republican party in eighteen years to be remedied in an boar. Yoa cannot expect a man with a long, trying disease to be cored in an hour. Give ibis party time. I thiok I understand tbe situation. I , tell you it is going to bring relief.. I tell you when yo^ are a few years older thst relief will come, t jeli yoo all these miserable sears, in^iefed by the Bepuclican party will be rubbed out; I tell you the starved will have bread and the,naked will.,have cloth ing. Every one of you will be the citizen of a happy and prosperous nation once more. This ccontry is on the eve of prosperity never before known, unles^ some exceedingly great madness shall seize, upon her. 1 don’t mind bow men talk ; I don’t mind how men differ. All I wish is that me» shall not break ranks. Le.t the soldiers talk; let them differ, bat don’t let them break ranks. Follow yonr leader. You have him. He has been given you by an honest Con ventioa, and the outspoken voice of 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.

Speer at that time thought perhaps he would never need tbe tol0 t he mountain counties a» badly as be now does, and it remain^ now ior the wool bat hoys of the mountains to decide whether tbey can “shoot" their votes into the bal¬ lot-box for Emory. We think they will decide not to sboot that way. W [For tbeRaQisTxn. 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." HEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
