The Cherokee Georgian P.H.BREWSTER, / J. J. A. SHARP, t Editors.• J. O. DOWDA, ) Canton, Oct-, WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 9, 1876. National Democratic Ticket. FOR PRESIDENT. SAMUEL J. TILDEri, OF NEW YORK. FOR VICE PRESIDENT. THOS. A. HENDRICKS OF INDIANA. State Ticket. FOR GOVERNOR. ALFRED H. COLQUITT, OF DEKALB. The Atlanta Nominee. As we expected, and sincerely hoped, Gen. A. 11. Colquitt was nominated for Governor, in Atlanta, on the 2d. No other name was presented to the Convention, and Gen. Colquitt was nominated by acclama tion The commonwealth of Georgia is justly proud of the third name in the illus trious trio at the head of this column, and no man the people were '-ver called upon to support, for any office in our chi , a’rous old State was ever greeted with more en thusiasm, and greater manifes ations of de light than Gen. Alfred 11. Colquitt. Next Sale Day. We would like to see a large attendance on next sale day. The time has come when something more ought to be done in the in terest of the Marietta and Murphy Railroad. If we expect State aid, we must go to work, and not only be in earnest ourselves, but show to others that we are truly so. Let the tree be known by its fruits. Now is the time to make a rally. A kind Provi dence is blessing us with good crops; let us make up supplies for fifty convicts, and at once run the grade of our road at least to Pickens county. This will inspire courage along the line, and when the Legislature meets they will see N”i : 'i Georgia a unit for this road, and all tinned in one com mon struggle to develop the vast resources of this section, and ready to pom - them in to the Treasury of Georgia, and not a mem ber of th. t ody who is not prejudiced, and who has the foresight that should charac terize a Legislator, will refuse to help us iron our road. Volume 11. With this issue, begins the second vol ume of The Cherokee Georgian. The proprietors have, through a year remarka ble for scarcity of money, and hard times throughout the whole country, labored hard to make the enterprise a success, and present to our people a sheet worthy of their patronage and support. A year in which it would have been simply folly to start any enterprise, promising no quicker return for capital invested, than a newspa per, with the expectation of making it pay. Yet, we have kept at work, and have en deavored to give our readers a good paper ; how far our efforts have been successful, we leave to our patrons to say. No one who has had no experience in the business, has the remotest idea what a difficult task it is to “begin at the beginning” and build up, and p urmncnlly establish a newspaper in a community where it is a new thing to the people; it is especially difficult in a small town, where the advertising patron age is necessarily limited. We commenc ed publishing Tn:; Georgian with these difficulties to encounter, and can truly say that our success has exceeded <>ur expecta tions, and that our prospects of future suc cess are indeed flattering; sufficiently so to encourage us, and induce us to put forth greater efforts to make our paper a perma nent success. The people are beginning to realize the fact that the county paper is not simply an enterprise by which those di rectly controlling it re to be benefited, but an institution, designed to benefit the entire people. They now see that it is no longer an experiment, but a fact, and they are coming up to our support in such a manner as to inspire us with fresh courage and energy. We feel truly grateful to the many friends who have stood by us through the first, and we trust the most trying stage of our work. We promise to use every ef fort, and leave nothing undone that can be done, to make The Georgian a live, read able, newsy journal—one that our people will be proud of. Let all out friends re new their subscriptions, and let those whose namesare not upon our bock, give us a trial. ► • -w Agriculture. Our efficient Tax Receiver. W. N.

We are about passing through, and we trust out of a terrible ordeal, caused by the strin gency in the money market. Many good men have “gone under;’' some still oppress ed, but the masses of o n people are out of debt, or will pay out this fall, and have money left. Georgia has reached, in mi ner’s phrase, “hard pan,” and it now be hooves us to consider well the situation, un derstand the surroundings, and then move up. How are we to better our condition ? The great mass of our people are engaged in agricultural pursuits, and yet we are buy ing bacon from the West—enriching the fanners of Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, when we could supply middle and Southern Georgia. What else do we buy, which we can and ought to produce? Nearly everything. Where does Atlanta and the Southern cit ies, get their supplies of butter, poultry, provisions and supplies of every character ? From the West. Why can’t Cherokee sup ply half dozen of the cotton and rice mak ing counties? Because ice won't. What are our manufacturing interests ? Almost nothing. AVhat are our advantages and facilities for manufacturing ? All that we could ask. What are we doing with our rich mines ? Absolutely nothing. We import iron for every purpose, and own better “on a thousand hills”—now worth less to us and to the world What of our live stock? Scrub; with few exceptions. AVhat are we doing to educate our children ? Hundreds attend no school of any sort, and we are indifferent. Is this our true condi tion ? Yes; and still worse, for there is a manifest indifference, and want of enter prise, with so many of our citizens, so many of our young men seeking any pursuit, any thing to make a living in the shade, any way to avoid labor ; so few of our old men united, and acting together to promote, fur ther, and advanoe lh« aboolutely necessary enterprises of our county. Now why is this so ? Our people are honest, patriotic, gen erous, hospitable, kind, brave, and true. In these ennobling virtues we are not afraid to compare our people of Cherokee with the citizens of any county in the State, or in the United States. Give life and energy to our people, and we would not swap one hundred of our good citizens, for a thous and in Indiana; and yet it is absolutely sad to study the contrast between Georgia and Indiana, as it appears in the Daily Com monwealth, of the 2lst ult. While we thank Col. Styles for his able articles, and statistical information, intended to excite our people to action, his figures are a sad comment on the past and present policy' of Georgia, and upon the politicians, who have directed and controled the State. Read the article in the Commonwealth, and study it, ahd then seek for the reaiedy. Think of it, Georgians, Indiana has a total difference of $119,945,237 per annum in her favor, as compared with Georgia. This is not due or owing to greater resources and superior material advantages, but Indiana utilizes what she has—Georgia does not. It is the difference between a woiking, in telligent farmer and a careless, idle one. While the working, thinking, intelligent tanner will prosper—grow rich, on com paratively poor land ; another a ill starve on Keith sor Fic.u 's river .i . is. Our ob ject is to look specially ut our own inter est ; that ol Cherokee, and we ask again, what ought our policy’ to be? It is to us a self evident proposition, that the first great necessity—yes, indispensible neces-i --t the completion of our railroad. We must, by cheap transportation, have access to the world with our agricultural produc tions. How else can we reach a market with our blitter while it is fresh ami sweet, so as to command me high price of sum mer? It tills could be done, would our people not produce double as much as at present ? and would it not be worth dou Sole ? Let us illustrate. Say there are one thousand families in our county, each l'uu ily. ou an avrerage, produces oue p< un 1 of butter Hr sale every day—ami who can’t do it ' —that gives you 7.000 lbs. per week, woith now in Canton, 15 ecu’s [ht pound, >r $1,050. i/ it could hc'rj'd. In Atlanta tee - mie is worth—ami it can be sold there' iv.;'. f< r 30 cis. per [s»und. it f <A-$2,- luO. Two thousand one humlnd dollors per week, making a dil retice of $54,000 in fiv >; of Atlant i prices, when we hive a market against the home market—when ive have not purchaseis for half the quan lity. N'ow deduct, tor commissions am; I »i, twice what it w. . 1 co t, and the net earuings of the w 'lHcn of Cberkw county is more than the ■ e grading of tin Marietta and Mnrpliy Railroad t > Canton, ami double w ■' ■ w ul 1 now to lay cr< :ies, an i’-i g*. aud prepare ready tor irou. < ■ ■ - s< 1 un our streets < .1 week for ten cents Tae same arc wo, . A. A..t.i, ac. ■ r Img t > p;o ala ns, bi ty cents Here the liSference is great er •'.ma tin Ir. ’ter Could not every farmer's " >< II doing tin. veir lO* - * clmkem' making for the county 100,00; at 10 cents each, home market, worth in barter, $lO,- 000; the same is worth in Atlanta, cash, $30,000; making a difference of $20,000. Now these are the little items, but what a difference would it make to our county in a year—s7s,ooo additional, for butter and chickens. You may say our figures are large, and that butter and chickens is a small business, but this is the way the Northern and AV estern States have grown rich, and the neglect of these little things is the reason of our want of prosperity. It is folly' to talk about mining, and manufac turing without a railroad, and the same is true as to every other interest. The road is a necessity ; we must have it. The same reasons are applicable to Pickens, Gilmer, Fannin, Uniou, and Towns counties Geor gia, and AVestern North Carolina. They are at work, and are working in earnest. AVe have worked; we must goto work again ; Canton does not desire the road to stop here. The pressure of the times stopped ns, but a kind and merciful Providence now gives us assurances of good crops, and we say' to our friends in the mountains, be ol good cheer. AVe will lock shields wit’; you, pay our part in money and provision- and work on until the road is completed to Murphy. AVe have faith in Georgia—that when we have done our part she will help us AA 7 e have no doubt on this subject, and in the language of the Fannin resolutions, “we will not support any person for any office, unless he is an open, avowed friend of our road.” Editorial Notes. Inflated green-backs. Bull frogs. President Grant’s mouth-piece. A cigar holder. Sitting Bull is supposed to be a lineal descendent of John Bull, and a cousin to the Pope’s Bulls. They are all bully. An original poem was to have appeared in the Ellijay Courier “shis” week. AVhen does “shis” week begin, and where does it end? AVe can’t fiud it in the almanac. Learned doctors are now trying to make it appear that President Grant’s 3rawn is affected. They had better establish in the first place, the fact that he is in possession of such an organ An old farmer who don’t take The Georgian, wants to know who is this Col Quitt that they are running for Govern or. That man is sadly in need of General information. A Baltimore lawyer shot himself the other day, because he said it was “too hot to live.” He certainly did not bi tter his condition by “jumping from the frying pan into the tire.” The Marietta Journal announced last week that the convention would meet on Wednesday' to “nominate a T)ethocraflc Governor.” As we are always behind tlie excitement away up here in the mountains, and are dependent upon the Journal for in formation, we would like for it to tell us now what Democrtic Governor was nomi nated ? AVe are prepared to do all kinds of job work in the best style, cheap, neat and prompt. Try us—[Marietta Journal AVe need a job of work done on our rail road, but we believe we will let the Superi or court of Cobb county try you first. The local of the Times has di-covered the last word of Crazy Horse, the big Indi an who was killed in the Custer massacre : “His remarks were: ‘Zola surubucktoo walee haritinkus shin an gugar.’ Now. Ibis very’ evidently shows that, though a s.ivaee. Crazy' Hores was a man of deep emotions and a noble heart.” Wonderful words to escape the lips of an untutored savage! He certainly indulged no ill feeling against the government, or he would have Custer ! The Toccoa Herald a sprightly weekly, we add to our exchange list. We like ail of it, except its motto. Honesty is no kind of policy. M alesca Notes. We heartily endorse the action of the Democratic State convention, and ft el that the State will roll up one of the largest ma jorities for the nominee, Gen.

A merchant settling with a customer, the other day, who had heretofore bought largely on credit, found the account xery small, and enquiring to know how it icip penetl, the customer replied : ‘ Sir, I have been living on my own expenses this year ” Pretty good idea. If the people generally would live more on their own expenses, the country would soon t>e in a tlourLhing con dition. We had the pleasure of witnessing an t x hibiti ->n of Cane creek S ibbath-scbool, in the upper part of the county, on Friday, last. We were well pleased with the exer cises.

AVe the Grand Jury, selected, chosen, and sworn for the County of Cherokee, Ju- I ly term, Eighteen Hundred ami Seventy six, would respectfully’ make the following presentments: Ist. Upon examination of the records] and books of the Ordinary’s office, we find the office in good condition, the Kooks are neatly aud correctly kept, with most of the matter placed on the record. W' 1 find that the Ordinaryfis keeping, as part of the records of the office, the settlements with the Tax-collector, aud County Treasurer, which we think is a good arrangement. From as thorough an examination into the various duties of the Ordmaiy, as our lim ited time would allow, we believe that our Ordinary has tried faithfully and im partially to discharge the duties of his re sponsible trust. 2d. We find the books of the Clerk of the Superior Court kept in a neat, legible, and business like style He, upon oath, says that he has no county' funds in his bands unaccouted for, and that as such clerk he has received no county funds since the last term of this court. 3.1. The Treasurer's books, we find kept in a neat and legible manner. He has prop er vouchers for all monies paid out. We find on hand $70.24 in the county treasury. 4th. AVe find the books of the Tax-re ceiver well and neatly kept. As a gener al thing the property has been given in at a fair valuation. sth. vVe find the books of the Justices of the Peace, and Notaries Public, kept in a tolerably good form, but we reccommend that they’ strictly observe the requirements of sec. 4,505, of the Code of 1873, in regard to itemizing their bills of cost. 6th. AVe find the books of the Sheriff kept in a neat and legible manner. 7th. AVe find the jail in a tolerable fair condition, and sate so far as we could as certain. Bth. AVe find the public roads, as a gen eral thing, in a very bad condition, and rec commend that they be put in good order as soon as practicable. The public bridges in the county, we learn, are in very good or der, except the bridges across Noonday, on the Alabama road, and the bridge at Cher okee Mills, and Hawkins’s bridge across Little River, and we reccommend that the Ordinary have the necessary repairs or re building done. • In taking leave of his Honor, Judge Knight, we tend r him our thanks for his kindness and courtesy to our body during the present term. We also tender him our kindest wishes for his future health, pros purity and happiness. 'Ve also tender our thanas to the S<>li< itor General, C. I). Phil pps, lor his courtesy to our body, and for the vigorous and able manner in which he discjiarges the duties of his office. AVe further reccommend that these pre sentments be published in the Cherokee Georgian. John K. Moore, Foreman ; E. C.

By the eai nest request, and solicitations ol many friends, 1 hereby’ announce myself a candidate for representative in our next general assembly. And, should Ibe chos en to fill that high and responsible position I will, to the best of my ability, discuarge I the duties devolving upon me. It is unnec 1 essaiy for me at this time to enter into a • dctai' of what legislation I deem necessary, j bn* 1 will say’ that 1 favor a Constitutional ; Convention, called bv the people, as I be- i lieve this i the liist step to be taken to place us in the road to prosperity and hap i pmess. It is us* less tor me io add that the manufacturing and agricultural interests of our country seem to lie paralyzed, and that internal improvements have almost c* -ad to be a mailer of thought with our i ie. These are matters of vital to | our every ini crest, and shoi Id be siadied well by every one. Retrenchment and Re | form slio'.ibl be our motto. 1 will further state, that I favor the early I completion of the Marietta and Murphy ■ Railroad, as it would be of general utility to o;.r wiioie conn, ry, and believing it to im an enterprise of siitti ieut magnitude to in- I denn.iiy the- Stale against all losses, I would be wiping to vole State aid for its comple tion, while at the same time I am opposed • to in..iscriiaiualc aid by the State.

THE MORNING NEWS, SAVANNAH, GA. r I A lu rOLl’i ICAL CaiVIPaIuN of 1876 1 which includes National, State, and county elections’and which will undoubt edly lie the most active and hotly contest ed of any since the memorable campaign of 1860, is now fairly opened. The Nation al Democratic party, will this year make a bold, vigorous and doubless successful strug gle for the maintenance and supremacy of those principles which are vital to the pros perity ofthe Republic and essential to the well-being of the people. In addition to the Presidential election, the people of Georgia ami Florida will eh ct new Slate governments. In Florida the campaign promises to be unusually vig orous, and there is a probability' that for the firs* tune sine the war the people ot that Radical-ridden Stale will elect a Dem ocratic State government. In these cam paign the people ot the Sou h are deeply interested ; and every intelligent citizen, who has the welfare of his country and his section at heart, should acquaint himself with every detail ofthe great work of re demption and reform that is now going on. To this eml he should subscribe to ami assist in circulating the SAA’ANNAH MORNING NEWS, an independent Dem ocratic newspaper, of pronounce*! opinions ami fearless in their expression*; a paper ’hat is r* cognized everywhere as the best daily in the South. Its editorial depart ment is vigorous, ihoiightful, and consis tent, while its new* ami local departments are marvels of industry ami completeness. Its department of Georgia and Florida si fairs is not confined to a mere barren sum mary of events transp ring in those States, but is enlivened by comment at once apt, timely, and racy. The ample resources of the eslablishmenl will be devoted to lui’nistiing the readers of he MORNING NEWS with the latest intelligence from all parts of the world, through the press dispatches, special telegrams, and by means ofspcci.il correspondence; ami through these agen cies the paper will be the earliest chronicler of noteworthy incidents of the political campaign of 1876.
