Official Organ of Lee County. Official Organ of Webster County. FOR COXGRESSMAN-A T-LAItOE: THOMAS HARDEMAN, OF 8188. FOB CONG BBSS 3rd DISTRICT; JUDGE C. F. CRISP, OF SUMTEK. Election Tuesday, November 7th, 1882. APPOINTMENTS. Charles F. Crisp, Democratic nominee for Congress from the Third Congressional District, will address his fellow-citizens at the following named time and places. All are in vited to attend: Mt. Vernon, Monday, Oct. 23. Montezuma, Wednesday, Oct. 25. Lumpkin, Friday, Oct. 27. Preston, Monday, Oct. 30. Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1. Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2. Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4. The blanks for the Congressional election have been received by the Ordi nary. Sumter should give Hardeman and Crisp a full and unanimous vote. Ex-Speaker Randall says the Ohio election makes the House Democratic beyond a doubt. He expects a gain of three or four Democrats from Pennsyl vania. The home of Mr. Rutherford B. Hays went Democratic last Tuesday by 800 majority, and the home of the late Pres ident Garfield gave a net Democratic gain of 30 votes. The latest returns from Ohio give the Democrats thirteen Congressmen out of twenty-one, McKinly, republican from the Eighteenth District is only elected by 8 votes over Wallace. The Democrats give notice that this election will he contested. Ben. Butler has accepted the Dem ocratic and National Greenback Labor nominations for Governor of Massa chusetts. Old cock-eye is a little like Grant—he’ll accept anything that is tendered him ; and if not tendered lie’ll take it anyhow—spoons, for in stance. We reckon that when McKinley, of Ohio, who has been re-elected to Con gress by a majority of nineteen votes, takes a retrospect and remembers that he voted to turnout of the present Con gress Democrats having five or six thou sand majority, a sense of impending retributive justice makes him tremble. The Supreme court of Wisconsin has given a decision which has greatly dis turbed the grain gamblers. An opera tor lost 2,500, or would have done so if he had settled up, but he refused to pay, and was sued for the money. The verdict in a circuit court was against him, but this was set aside on appeal, the higher court deciding that as so grain was actually bought or sold, the operation was simply a wager, and therefore a violation of the gambling law. Who Can Vote. The question lias been frequently asked us how long a risidence in the State or county is necessary to vote. Below we give the law upon the sub ject that every person desiring to vote may do so intelligently and legally: “Every male citizen of the United States, except as hereinafter provided, twenty-one years of age, who shall have resided in this State one year next pro ceeding the election and shall have re sided six months in the county in which he offers to vote, and shall have paid all taxes, which since the adoption of the constitution of 1877, have been re quired previous to the year in which he offers to vote, etc. The exceptions above referred to are. Ist. “Those who have been convict ed in any court of competent jurisdic tion, of treason, of embezzlement of the public funds, malfeasance in office, bri bery, or larceny, or of any crime involv ing moral turpitude, punishable by the laws of this State with imprisonment in the penitentiary, hnless such person shall have been pardoned. 2d. Idiots and insane persons. On the subject of residence, the law is that the domicil of a person of full age is the place where his family per manently resides, and if he has no fam ily, then the place where he shall gen erally lodge. The domicil is changed by an actual change of residence, but must be accompanied by an avowed in tention of remaining. Married men who lived here over six months, but whose families live in an other county .cannot vote in this county. Single men who losija here for that time, cannot vote here unless they avow their intention of remaining here. WITHDRAWAL. Tlio Handwriting: on tbe Wall, Mene Menc Tekel l'p liars 111. Tekel explains the movement The Independent candidate in the Third Congressional District withdraws. We take quite a pleasure in publish ing his card in another column. A canvass of two months has de monstrated to the judge that the peo ple had put him on the scales and finding him wanting, have received his message with that coldness and repul sion, which developed the convincing “sower of political and party preju dices,” satisfying him of the utter folly of a further prosecution of the canvass. We foretold this at the outset, and are not disappointed only in his prudence, by avoiding the catastrophe which would have befallen him in November. Personal pride and the forlorn hope will keep Felton and Speer in the saddle, but judge Twiggs has already found that liis other business is too important for him to attend his appointments. The prospect of a Democratic House ol Representatives is bringing on, with most of the independents, the pro monotory symptoms of political conges tion. The index digitari pointing to the handwriting on the wall, God hath numbered thy kingdom, thou art weighed in the balance amlfuuml want ing. The people are tireaof the cor ruption and prostitution of the Repub lican party, and its bantling Independ entism. WITHDRAWS. IKoil. 11. 11. llarrcll Gives His ICeu son, for Retiring from flic Congres sional Haec. To the Voters of the Third Con gressional District: When, a few weeks since, I announced myself a candidate for Congress, I did so upon principles which I embodied in an address, and upon which I stood immovable during my canvass. These principles have not, nor can be, controverted, and to-day are more important to the interests of tbe producing and laboring classes of our district than tbe patent platform of any political party or the success of any political candidate. Whilst this is true, I am not unaware of the power of political and party prejudices. These are difficult to overcome, even when cool judgment is consulted, but in a heated canvass, where they are alone appealed to, it is impossible to do so. Recog nizing these facts, I withdraw my can didacy and fall back to share my equal burdens with the class I aspired to represent, and which it was my only ambition to lighten. I have no regrets as to my course in the canvass. I have appealed to no prejudices—misrepre sented no one—retailed no second-hand slanders—made no bargains, and stand to-day, as I entered the canvass, with my selt-respect untarnished. To my many friends in the district, and out of it, who have voluntarily tendered me their generous support and encourage ment, I return my hearty thanks. To the newspapers, also, who have opened their columns to me, I return thanks and request that they send their hills to me at Americus, Ga. David B. Harueli,. The Republican Stampede in New York. A New York letter says: “A bomb shell dropped at Republican headquar ters this afternoon in the shape of a letter from Judge William J. Bacon, a member of the Forty-fifth Congress from the Oneida district, and formerly a Judge of the Supreme Court of this State, repudiating ‘the doings at Sara toga,’ and declaring outright that he will support the Democratic nominee. Judge Bacon says: ‘I shall vote for Cleveland and Hill.’ lam not bound as a Republican to vote for the two men on the Saratoga ticket, whose nom ination was conceived in sin and brought forth in iniquity; but, on the other hand, both conscience and honor compel me to repudiate them. Fraud, falsehood and forgery vitiate all con tracts and release from all obligations, expressed or implied. * * * Be sides, I think, it is high time to ad minister a rebuke to the administration at Washington; to say with some em phasis that the citizens ofa sovereign State are not prepared to accept of a candidate made by its order, nor to al low any President, regular or acciden tal, to tell them whom they shall not nominate for their own rulers.’ “The ‘stalwarts’ hardly know wlut to make or think of this, which certain ly ‘looks rebellion.’ On the other hand, the Democrats are acting as if they ex perienced no such perplexity. With a fine eye to business they have placard ed a copy of the letter in big typo at their principal headquarters, and with in the next twenty-four hours, I am told, it will be posted in the halls of all the ward associations.” A republican contemporary concisely sums up the situation for 1884 in a form convenient for reference, which we commend to Democrats all over the country: “We go into a Presidential election with a hundred and forty-one electoral votes cast and counted for the Democ racy before the polls open! And then we have a lree fight for the remaining two hundred and sixty. If the Democ racy can carry sixty one of thcae they have the President. If the Republi cans can carry two hundred and two of them they have the President.” Not bad odds as we look at the fig ures. To Promote a Vigorous Growth of the hair, use Parker’s Hair Balsam.

Latham, Alexander & Cos., of New York, for a copy of their annual report for the cot ton year recently closed. It is gotten up in even handsomer style than their previous publications, which were gems of the printing and binding arts. Its frontispiece illustration of “types of plantation life” is very good—a happy portraiture of negro physiognomy in all its characteristics. The tables in the hook give the usual statistical information about cotton, showing the movement and fluctuations from 1875 to 1882. The cotton future system of speculating is also fully des cribed, and its extent shown. The accuracy with which the Messrs. Latham, Alexander & Cos., predicted the size of the last crop is wonderful. On October Bth they put it at 5,500- 000 bales, or 43,952 more than it act ually was. This estimate was based on the information contained in their general correspondence. As this esti mate was criticised severely, they sent out circulars to 1,634 bankers, factors, etc, and made anew estimate of 5,454,- 647, only 1,401 bales over the actual crop. This is marvellous, except when we consider the enormous business done by this house, its conservative charac ter, and the ability of the men who direct it. In view of their success in dealing with the last crops we give below the conclusion of the.report: There is every indication of a full rate of consumption everywhere, and a large American crop seems indispens able ■to replenish exhausted stock and to meet the increasing demand. Taking England and the continent to gether,it would not be at all surprising if the present consumption, estimated by Messrs. Ellison & Cos., Liverpool, at 131,000 bales, of 400 pounds per week,should be exceeded in the course of the year. Tbe continental mills have been prospering, stocks are much re duced, and their requirement will no doubt be considerably greater this year than last. At least 100,008 bales ad ditional will be required to meet the in creased consumption of the United States. In all parts of the country business is active and crops of every kind are excellent. The influx of some 800,000 immigrants during the year is alone an important item in the United States consumption of cotton goods. “European grain crops have turned out much better than expected, and the home demand for cotton goods in Great Britain and on the continent will doubtless be good. It would also be strange if after the immense crops of all kinds in India the demand thence should not improve, and, in this con nection the taking off of the Indian duties on fine goods should not bo over looked. “Moreover, restoration of order in Egypt, and perfect security in passing through the Suez canal will, no doubt, give an impulse to trade. What may be the future course of prices no one can foresee, but there is certainly no aspect of the cotton situation now to warrant a belief either in dull trade or low prices; on the contrary,the outlook is generally favorable everywhere,espec ially so for American planters and spinners. There is no probability of our crop exceeding the legitimate wants of the world, and the capability of onr mills will be taxed to the utmost to meet the large growing demand of our home trade. “Stocks of American cotton are small in all the markets of the world, in fact a great deficiency exists. Besides, spin ners in Europe hold but a small supply and while the trade of the manufac turers of Manchester may now be such as to cause complaints within a short time the effect of the bountiful harvest, increasing business and other influences now offered may remove every cause of dissatisfaction. “Briefly stated, the outlook for the cotton interest generally seems more promising than for several years past, and there is hardly a doubt that the crop of 1882-3 will prove alike profit able to planters, spinners and manu facturers. Very truly, “Latiiam, Alexander & Cos.” Smitliville. We take the following from the special correspondence of the Macon Telegraph and Messenger: October 16.—1 tis understood that G. G.

Warwick is a candidate for the judgeship of the Southwestern circuit. 01 course he is our choice of the many candidates, not only that he is a citizen of our town, but he is an attorney of acknowledged ability, hav ing been in the practice of law since 1859. We consider him the peer of any lawyer practicing in the circuit, and sincerely hope he may be successful in his canvass. November will witness a good many changes in our town. We lose by re moval Col. James Dodson. He goes to Americus to engage in the practice of law in that place. Dr. W. T. Simpson, of Terrell coun ty, moves in the house vacated by Col.

The sheriff likewise did not return, and he adjourn ed Court and went in person after all, and he found them comfortably seated in the circus ring. The Judge did not remain with his delinquents. Lumpkin Independent: Do the democrats of Stewart county know that secret agents of David B. Harrell are at work in this county with a view of inducing the colored people to vote for him for congress? These colored politicians with long dusters have in vaded our county and are busy plant ing the seeds of discord in our com munity. They should he watched and check-mated and given to understand that Stewart county voters are amply able and ready to take care of them selves. They need no advice from paid hirelings of Judge Harrell- A detailed account of the election in Decatur county has at last come to hand. It seems that the result of the returns was to cdect Wilder, re publican, by a small majority, and Ben Russell by a majority of one vote. The returns from two precincts were thrown out on account of irregularities, but the result was not much affected, Russell qnd Wilder being still ahead by a small majority. We suppose, under these circumstances, there will he no contest. It seems that the con test was a bitterly personal one, and Hon. B. E. Russell was too sick to take any part in the canvass. Macon Graphic: We have just learned some interesting facts in re gard to the romodled college building, now rapidly nearing its completion.

GREAT EXCITEMENT AT THE DEPOT. Governor rolqnlUTelegraplis !o Hold llie EasUiiaii ICiotcrs in tTEucon I n til 'Fo-morrow. Macon Graphic 19th. This morning was the time oppoint ed by the posse of twenty-four men which came up from Dodge county yes terday to take the rioters down to East man, where they are expected to be hanged to-morrow. The six condemn ed prisoners were marched from the jail under guard of the posse, who were armed with pistols and shot guns, to the depot to take the Brunswick train, which leaves at 8;30 a. m. An immense crowd composed princi pally, of negroes assembled about the depot to catch a glimpse of the rioteis, and the excitement of the oacasion was very great, and produced the impression that if so much concern was manifested in Macon, what must be the situation in Eastman, where the passions and indignation of the people run high. Hie prisoners were safely placed ou the cars and the posse and all were ea gerly awaiting the ringing of the bell for the train to start, as there had ex isted all day yesterday an impression that the governor would send some kind of respite or reprieve and there is no denying the fact that the guard were anxious to get the prisoners from Ma con ere any order could come from the governor detaining them in Macon. The hour for departure dragged slowly. Just as the clock in the ticket office pointed to two minutes before leaving time, a stir was noticed in the crowd, indicating the happening of some im portant event. Presently the tall form of Sam Wescott, the popular sheriff of Bibb county, was seen hurrying through the throng of excited spectators, and rushed into the car where the condemn ed prisoners were and handed a couple of telegrams to Mr. Bennett Jones, who was in charge of the posse. One of the telegrams was dated at Atlanta, Ga., October 19th, 1882, and was add ressed to the sheriff or jailor of this county, and read: “Hold the Eastman prisoners until to-morrow. Show this to Bennett Jones. [Signed] A. H. Colquitt. Governor.” The second telegram was also dated Atlanta, October'l9. 1882, and was addressed to Capt. W. W. Carnes, and was as follows: “The governor lias just given the jailor peremptory orders to hold pris oners until to-morrow. Oulv thirty minutes. See him and Jones quick. Answer. [Signed] Baird.” The telegrams settled the matter. They arrived just in the nick of time, and Mr. Bennett Jones could do noth ing else than obey tbe orders of the governor; so accordingly, the prisoners were taken out of the car and escorted back to jail, followed by a large crowd of excited people, who hung around the jail enclosure for several hours as if expecting some new developments of a sensational nature to arise. When thetelegrams|from Atlanta were read it was evident that the members of the posse were thoroughly disgruntled, and their displeasure at the order of the governor was thoroughly manifest. Most of the posse went to Eastman this morning, but a few remained over and will take the prisoners down to-morrow should no command from the governor come to the contrary. We understand that the people of Eastman are thoroughly aroused over the anticipated hanging to-morrow, and should the prisoners ever reach Eastman and there receive a reprieve from the governor it would avail noth ing, as it is thought the friends of the young man who was killed would arise in their might and lynch the prisoners. So, if the governor proposes to respite them he had better do so ere they leave Macon. The situation is one of great excitement and alarm. The Deplorable Results of Fright ening a Child. Macon Graphic. Those who were at the depot last evening might have seen a sight that would have, forever acted as a terrible warning against the senseless and almost criminal practice of frightening children. Mr. 0. T. Armstrong, of Heard county, was carrying to Mill edgeville a drivelling idiot only ten years old, that a few months since was a bright and intelligent little hoy. It appears that he and his older brother were in their bedroom one night, when someone thoughtlessly'or malic iously stuck a horse head or masked head of some kind in at the window, frightening the little boys so badly that they at once lost their reason, and shortly afterwards went blind. The older brother was first taken to Milledgoville where he died, and now the younger is going over probably to share the same fate. Death, in fact, would be a relief to him, blind and idiotic as he is. The perpetrator of such a hideous piece of folly will, no doubt, carry through life the lesson thus learned; and it is to he hoped that this sad story will be circulated throughout the State and have its due effect.
