Official Organ of Sumter County Official Organ of Schley County. Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. FOR CONGRESSMAN-AT-T.ARGK: THOMAS HARDEMAN, OF 8188. FOR CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT; JUDGE C. F. CRISP, OF SUMTER. APPOINTM ENTS. Ciiarbes F. Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, Mill address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in vited to attend: Butler. Friday, Oct. 0. Douglass, Tuesday, Oct. 10. Vienna, Friday, Oct! US. Americus, Monday, Oct. 10. Eastman, Tuesday, Oct. 17. Mcßae, Thursday, Oct. 19. Mt. Vernon, Monday, Oct. 23. Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25. Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27. Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1. Ogletiiorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2. Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4. Democratic papers in the District please copy. No democrat who loves his country and its wellfare, should stay away from the polls to-day. Remember Democrats of Sumter, that Wm. M. Hawkes, and Win. A. WilDon, are nominees of your party, and as such you should vote for them. The New York Evening Post thinks that Democratic editors in that State will have an easy time of it this fall. It says that all they will have to do will be to copy leading editorials from the Republican papers. It is not only the privilege, but the duty of every citizen to go to the polls and cast his vote to-day. The Howard residence at Columbus, occupied by Mr. A. F. Johnson and family and Mr. W. S. Robinson and family, was destroyed by fire on Fri day morning last. Every article of furniture and bed clothes was burned, and the inmates barely escaped with their lives. There is danger in staying from the polls to-day consoling yourself with the thought that the nominees will be elect ed anyhow. We appeal to every Dem ocrat of Sumter to put his shoulder to the wheel and battle like brave men for good government and true democracy. The prospect of the South for another year is bright indeed. The cotton crop promises a yield of one million hales more than in 1881, which means fifty million more dollars for the planters, while the increased supply ot food stuffs will probably save our section one hun dred millions of dollars as compared with lasr year. So that there will be one hundred and fifty millions of dol lars more remaining in the South this year than in 1881. This means the liquidation of debts, the improvement of farms, the establishment of new in dustries and a general advance step onward and upward in the scale of progress. Democrats, remember that Wm. M. Hawkes and Wm. A. Wilson are your standard bearers in this contest—you nominated tliein, and you should vote for and use your influence to elect them. “A free vote and a fair count,” a full vote and a solid vote for democratic principles in Sumter. Rally to the standard bearers, let there be no sculk ing, every man do his duty as a dem ocrat a citizen and a Christian, and we have no fears of defeat. Grand Juries Take Notice! Relow we publish the law making it a penalty for any person to furnish whiskey on days of elections to influ ence votes. This practice has been carried to an alarming extent and hence it is the imperative duty of the grand juries for both weeks of our court to be watchful and if on to-day, any per son is seen furnishing whiskey to any one or at any precinct in the county, it is their sworn duty to report it: Be it enacted by the General Assem bly of the State of Georgia, That from and after the passage of this Act, any person who shall sell, give or furnish spirituous intoxicating or malt liquors to any person, in any quantity what ever, within two miles of any election precinct in this state, on days of elec tion, cither State,County or Municipal, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and upon conviction thereof, shall be pun ished as prescribed in section 4310 of the revisetl coda 1873, provided that noth ing herein contaiued shall be construed to operate against prescriptions by physicians. Let old Sumter roll up a handsome majority for Stephens and the other democratic nominees to-day. Disease of Women. Large treatise for three stamps.giv ln KJi leans ofsue'eessful self treatment.

J According to previous appointment the citizens of Dooly county met in Convention at the Court house, in Vienna, to ascertain the interest of the county in building the Southern Pacific and Short-Line Railroad. The meeting was organized by the election of Dr. S. B. Stovall, Chairman, and J. P. Thurman, Secretary. On motion, Mr. J. 11. Whitsett was invited to explain the object of the meeting, which he did, as being to as certain, as far as possible, the willing ness of the people to contribute the right of way to said road. Hon. J. H. Woodward being called on, discussed the Railroad question at some length, showing the great advan tage they had been in building up every section they had traversed, and the continued advantage in the transporta tion of the various crops, etc., etc. On motion, the following committee was appointed to report business for the action of the meeting: J. 11. Whitsett, L. W. Mobley, J. E. Lilley, C. M. Dupree, J. M. Williams, J. 11. Wood ward, TANARUS, J. Ray, J. M. Floyd, G. W. Busbee, D. 11. Leonard, J. 11. Holmes, who reported the following preamble and resolutions which were unanimous ly adopted. We, the committee, appointed to draft resolutions expressive of the sen timents of this meeting, submit the fol lowing; Whereas, We are desirous of hav ing a railroad traverse our county, feel ing the importance of the same to our people, and, Whereas, The Southern Pacificand Short-Line Railway, now applying for a charter, propose to build the road, only asking of our citizens the contri bution of the light of way. Resolved Ist, That the people of Dooly county, in Convention assem bled, do tender to said Company the right of way through each and any of our lands through which said road may pass. Resolved 2nd, That we will use our influence with other citizens of the county for the same purpose. Resolved 3rd, That we pledge our influence to the interest of said road, or Company, in all other matters, in ac cordance with our ability, to advance the same. On motion, a committee of three was appointed as a committee of conference with the Company, to-wit: J. 11. Woodward, J. H. Whitsett and D. B. Leonard. On motion, the citizens arc requested to meet on Wednesday, the 11th of October. All the citizens of the coun ty are requested to attend. On motion, the Dooly County Vin dicator, Americus, Ilawkinsville, Mon tezuma, and all other papers, friendly to the road, be requested to publish. The meeting adjourned to meet on Wednesday, lltli October. S. B. Stovall, Ch’m. J. P Thurman, Sec’y. The Cincinnati Times-Star thinks that this year the farmer certainly has reasons to be happy. It reasons that if early frosts do not injure the corn, the crop will be immense. The average condition now is 83 against 00 in Sep tember last year; and though the total vield will fall below that of 1879 and of 1880, the production will be heavier in the South and Southwest. The loss is in New England, New York, Ohio, Indiana, Michigan, Illinois, Missouri Minnesota. But a gain of 23 on the average condition last September is a cheerful showing. The yield of wheat was much above the average; it is placed at 100, the top of the scale. The aggregate product is estimated at 520,000,000 bushels, of which the Southern States contributed a large share than usual. A surplus of 200, 000,000 bushels, of good quality, is an assurance of prosperity. It means that the country is rich and fat and in good humor; and this condition is confirmed by the largest crop of oats ever reported, a rye crop above the average and esti mated yield of 150,000,000 bushels of potatoes. A Now Telegraph Line. The wires of the new Southern Tel egraph Company, a corporation formed to compete with the Western Union, are up and doing business between Richmond and Baltimore, and are be ing strung southward from Richmond by two routes, one through Charlotte. The Wilmington line will be complet ed first. The new company will ex tend its lines to Norfolk, Charleston, Savannah, Augusta, Charlotte, Atlan ta, Montgomery, Mobile, New Orleans and all the principal cities of the South. A line will also be built to connect Louisville with the nsw Southern sys tem via Nashville and Chattanooga. The Coffee County Gazette has this to say about Congressional mat ters in the third district: “If Mr. Dead-Beat Harrell has an appoint ment to address the people of this county (be lias) lie would do well to forget the date and save time and money. The noble, tine people of Coffee won’t vote for a Republican-in dorsed Independent, who boasts that his Radical colleagues will count him in, whether elected or not. Some of our people were friends of General Cook, but the supporters of that old hero are too brave, too true to themselves, their homes, their wives and their children to vote for anybody but a true Demo crat. Mr. Harrell, go home and sit down, please.” pew KNABE 3, 2I J:%.3SrO-^aOn.B2733JB UNEQUALLED IN Tons. Toncli,! orMnsMß & DuraMlity.
