Stephens, Hardeman and Colquitt on the Stand ! All Happy Except the Independent Candidate for Congress—The Speak ers’ Table Literally Covered with Bouquets—Sumter All Right. Wednesday, the 20th of September, was a great day in Americus. At an early hour crowds began to pour into the city until our streets were filled. It was the most enthusiastic gather ing that has been seen for years in our place—everybody for Stephens, Har deman and Crisp. At the grove near the depot a “semi-house” had been erected, its construction being such as to protect the great commoner and to economize his voice to such a focus as to bring it to bear directly upon the audience in front—it was a matchless arrangement. By 11 o’clock the bulk of the crowd had assembled to hear the speaking, approaching in number to near twenty-five hundred—five hundred of whom were ladies. The Hon. A. H. Stephens was introduc ed by Hon. Dupont Guerry in a speech that was a model of beauty. This young gentleman excelled him self, and we are proud of him, for he in his wise words illustrated a man hood that points unerringly to a future that will be everything to his credit as one of our foremost men— socially as well as politically. Mr. Stephens’ speech won the enthusiasm of the audience; all hung breathlessly upon the words of this grand old Statesman, and his ludependentism was of that kind to be found in the path of duty. He said that he wished to live to do good, and that he had fought wrong all his life. He proved the consistency of his political course all through his life, and his days had been spent in working for the princi ples of a Jeffersonian Democracy. He proved himself to have been, and is now, tha best friend that the colored man has, and that his efforts had not been of that kind consisting in mere words, but he was “out of pocket” for them. That money to him was only valuable so far as to do the greatest good with it. In his “roller chair” he enlisted such an attention that is sel dom seen, and it was indeed a tribute of love and respect awarded to this good man, who has spent a long life in doing all the good that he could. The next speaker was Col. Thomas Hardeman, who was formally intro duced by E. G. Simmons, Esq., in a few happy words. “Our Tom” ex cellently excelled himself on this oc casion. His words fell like shells bursting before, behind, in front keeping a fellow in a dance all the time—but, “oh, my countrymen,” didn’t he go for Judge Harrel ? for he held him up before the audience criti cising his political course awfully. Hardeman’s words cut like a razor, and from every word there was a big drop of blood. That Independentism and that Radicalism was carpet-bag ism, and that carpet-bagism was death. The speech was such a mark ed one, and its impressions upon the crowd had been such,that after its de livery we polled as near as we could the status of Harrell, and could not find a white man who was in favor of him. The next speaker was our beloved Governor, Hon. A. H. Colquitt, who was introduced by Dr. J. B. Hinkle, in one among the nicest speeches we ever listened to; graceful in manner, wise in words, the Doctor won the at tention of every one and was most suc cessful in drawing the crowd’s atten tion to the Governor, who was to fol low in an effort that in the end proved to be a superb one. The ringing words of Alfred H. Colquitt, on Wednesday, September 20th, in the city of Ameri cus, will never be forgotten, for it was a manly defense of injured innocence. Col. Albert Lamar, of the Telegraph and Messenger , was the gentleman on trial, and from the expressions of the crowd after the delivery of the Gov ernor’s speech, the verdict of “guil ty” was found against Lamar. Gov ernor Colquitt’s remarks were direct ed to a recent editorial of the Tele graph and Messenger, headed “A Flank Movement by the Boss,” and he riddled it to pieces and proved that Judge Henry R. Jackson’s letter com pletely exonorated him from the un just charges of the editor of the Tele graph and Messenger, and that the of fending on his part was this, that “he, the Governor, did not appoint Albert Lamar to the Solicitor Generalship of the Eastern Judicial Circuit,” and that during the war Albert Lamar had “a quill behind his ear in a bumb proof position in Richmond, Va., and that at the capture of Columbus, while the old and the young, even the boys were in the trenches for the defense of that city, Albert Lamar could be found no where.” The Governor, in his conclusion, paid a glowing tribute to the Hon. A. H. Stephens as a bene factor and a patriot, and dwelt most beautifully upon his life-long services in the education of many young men and young ladies, who, without his aid, would never have been bene fltted. This so fired up the old com moner that he responded with all the fire of his earlier days, and his clarion voice rung out over the vast assembly in no uncertain tones, when he coun seled all to be true to the battle-flag of Democracy, and in a solid phalanx to vote the Democratic ticket. We, with thousands of others, say: “God bless this grand old man,” and with every man and woman who heard him on last Wednesday, our fondest heart wishes wili ever go with him—and don’t you forget it! Thus ended the memorable Wednesday of September 20th, 1882. A Pleasant Time, The. lion, A. H. Stephens received his friends on last Thursday morning at the residence of Maj. M. Speer. It was a most enjoyable time. Asa talker he entertained ever-so-much both the ladies and gentlemen who called upon him. He spoke most pleasantly of Americus—being de lighted with it. He was loud in his praise of the happy arrangement of the stand that he spoke from on last Wednesday—its construction being almost perfect, so far as it protected his body as well as to carry his voice to the crowd before him in an intelli gent manner, and he desired that a note of that effect should be made in the Sumter Republican, for, said he, “thearrangement was a success.” This grand old gentleman, in his “roller chair” entertaining his friends in the parlor of his hospitable host, was an impersonation of the beauty of age, hallowed by a life well spent in the service of his people; a people that he loves so well, and the kindly grasp of his hand to each one proved the pulsation of a heart that beats ever for the good of a suffering humanity, and the evidence of the kindest feel ings for all. Asa people we feel that his stay among us, though a brief one, only cemented us still closer to the distinguished gentleman, and all who called upon him felt profited from his wise and kindly words to eacli and every one. Judge Crisp’s Resignation. Judge C. F. Crisp resigned his posi tion as Judge of this Judicial Circuit on last Thursday. During Judge Crisp’s tenure of his office he won to himself, the regards of all classes of our people by his fairness and unsel fish devotion to duty. On the bench he was learned in the law, and proved himself to be most eminently adapted for the exalted position of a Judge. While we all will miss him on the bench, nevertheless, we feel that soon he will go up higher to do a greater work, and that there he will illustrate high qualities of mind and heart that will speedily insure him a national reputation. With Judge Crisp’s resignation there followed him the plaudit of “well done good and faithful servant. NOW OR NEVER! The CLOSING OUT sale of GRO CERIES at JOHN It. SHAW’S, is still in progress, and the rapidity with which his goods are disappearing, shows that ho “means business” and is determined to close them out at once in order to have more room for his immense stock of DRY GOODS, CLOTHING, SHOES, HATS, Etc., now in and on the way. If you want BARGAINS in GRO CERIES and WOOD-WARE, call before it is too late. NOW IS YOU R TIME. Judge Crisp's Appointments. In another column will be found a notice of the appointments of Judge Crisp in his canvass as the Democratic Candidate for Congress in this Disirict. The Judge will make things “red hot” during the campaign, and wo to Independentism—carpet-bagism and all the other “isms” that curse a peo ple. Judge Crisp don’t “box the compass,” but is true as the needle is to the pole, to his people and to his country. Keep the ball rolling Judge. A Recent Death. We are indeed sorry to learn of the sudden death of Mr. Wm. Simmons, near Dawson, who was found dead in his bed on last Tuesday morning, and is supposed to have died from con gestion. Mr. Simmons was a brother of Col. R. F. Simmons and Judge J. M. Simmons, of Dawson, and atone time a resident in this city. He was a quiet, modest young gentleman, and won for himself the esteem of all who knew him. Our heartfelt sym pathies are tendered his sorrowing ones. To My Friends and Patrons ! I am now located at JOHN R. SHAW’S large business establish ment, at which place I would be pleas ed to see my old friends and patrons, to whom I will give my personal at tention and guarantee fair dealing. PETER F. BROWN. An Incident of Wednesday. We noticed with pleasure the un divided attention little Stovall, son of Dr. John E. Hall paid Mr. Stephens during his speech on last Wednesday. Quiet and earnestly interested, he hardly once took his eyes from Mr. Stephens during the delivery of his (Mr. Stephens,) great speech. This is a beautiful precociousness in one so young that may serve as an example to those of older growth. We predict for that boy an enviable future. The Coming "Fair, We have upon our table, through the courtesy of Mr. J. W. Wheatley, a copy of the premium list of the Americus Fair Association. This Fair is to commence in our city on Tues day, October 24th and continue four days. We hope that this Fair may be made a success, and from the gen tlemen who have charge of the mat ter we are forced to believe that every effort will be made to make it one of the best Fairs ever held in Southwest Georgia. This Fair is gotten up for the benefit of our agricultural inter ests, and we hope that an earnest ef fort will be made in the matter of ex hibits. The attendance from abroad will be a large one, and let’s all put our shoulders to the wheel and make the thing a success. The Better for It. Well, we have once again seen the Hon. A. H. Stephens and heard him speak, and we are the better for it, and we feel like a minister of the gos pel who said he felt after hearing this gentleman speak. “His words entered into my inmost heart.” For years we have followed upon the foot-steps of Alexander H. Stephens, and his words of wisdom we have garnered up, and to us they are priceless. In the school room his history of the United States was a text-book for our advanced classes, and his “War Be tween the States” filled a place in our library. May Georgia’s greatest Statesman live long to benefit us as a people with his words of “wisdom, justice and moderation.” handsome lot of Fine HATS AND CLOTHING!

A visit to the mill of Burkhalter & Hooks impressed us with its great value as one of our city’s greatest in dustrial enterprises. This mill is at work night and day, and grinds three hundred bushels of corn per day. Ten bales of cotton per day are ginned, and more than that number could be passed out but the speed of the ma chinery must be so graduated as not to cut the staple. Two engineers, two millers, and a superintendent, with the balance of a help amounting in all to eleven persons, are attached to this establishment. The demand made upon this mill and gin is a great one, and its patronage increases from day to day. On a Rush. J. Waxelbaum & Cos. have been on a rush for several days. On Wednes day they sold three thousand dollars worth of goods, on Thursday twenty one hundred dollars worth; and on Friday about five thousand dollars worth, all at wholesale. The retail trade was also immense. Their stock of dress goods, ladies’ underwear, cloaks, clothing, perfumery, jewelry, hosiery, etc., etc., is just the largest ever brought to this market. Max Gross, the junior of the firm, has ex celled all other purchasers and now presents a stock that will compare with any in the South. 300 BEDSTEADS-All Kind.

Filling their store with the choicest goods and selling them cheap, very cheap, their trade is increasing from day to day, and their house bids fair to become the head centre of the largest trade ever centered upon one house in the city. The gentlemen of the firm are among the most reliable merchants of this or other sections and the clerks are young gentlemen without reproach. Give them a lift. Good, Better, Best. The open space in front of Harrold, Johnson & Cos., filled with Eclipse Engines, looks like war times, when Stonewall Jackson filled the old fields of Virginia with captured cannons. Harrold, Johnson & Cos. says that their advertisement in the Sumter Repub lican did its work well, for it made them sell out instanter every Eclipse engine on hand, and that they have ordered another car load, and that the demand for these engines is a great one. Let ’er roll.

Speer, on last Thursday, with becom ing grace, and evinced a courtesy that was most commendable. Before the reception of last Thurs day morning the Hon. A. H. Steph ens was driven around the city in one of the Prince Bro.’s, handsome pho tons, drawn by a span of beautiful grays. The distinguished gentleman was accompanied by several ladies. Schumpert, Roney & King has 300 new Cypress barrels for sale. W.

The once popular round dance is said to have received a death blow. A Philadelphia dancing master has introduced anew style of waltzing, the hands of the couple being joined as in roller skating, doing away with the arm encircling the lady’s waist, which has by some been considered as objectionable familiarity. The fellows and girls who have heretofore thor oughly enjoyed the old style will now probably give up waltzing and take to the parlor sofa instead. PERSONAL. Wm.
