FOR CONGRESSMAN-AT-LARGE:
THOMAS HARDEMAN,
OF 8188.
FOB CONGRESS 3rd DISTRICT;
JUDGE C. F. CRISP,
OF SUMTER.
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:
Preston, Monday, Oct. 30.
Ellaville, Wednesday, Nov. 1.
•Oglethorpe, Thursday, Nov. 2.
Leesburg, Saturday, Nov. 4.
To Democratic Voters.
The ticket presented below is of the
proper form to be voted in the Third
Congressional district at the Congres
sional election in November. If the
voters in any part of the district have
no printed tickets they can write them
out for themselves if they will follow
exactly the form here prescribed:
“For Representative for the State of
Georgia at large in the 48th Congress
of the United States,
THOMAS HARDEMAN,
OF BILL COUNTY.
“For Representative in the 48tli Con
gress of the United States for the Third
Congressional District of Georgia,
CHARLES F. CRISP,
OF SUMTER COUNTY.
Voters will bear in mind that the
Congressional election occurs on the
first Tuesday, 7th day of November.
The democratic ticket for this section
is Hardeman and Crisp.
Judge H. D. D. Twiggs, Independ
ent candidate for Congress in the
Eighth District, gracefully withdraws
from the contest against the regular
nominee, Seaborn Reese, in the interest
of peace and good will, for all of which
we think the judge shows great good
sense.
Don’t be Deceived.
Notwithstanding Judge D. B. Har
rell, has withdrawn from the Congres
sional contest, Iris name appears on the
ticket sent out from headquarters, and
distributed in every county in the Dis
trict. The Democrats should bear this
in mind and not remain ac home on
election day, for the enemy may turn
out in full force and poll a heavy vote
for Harrell,and thus defeat Judge Crisp.
Again we say, watch the enemy.
We are glad that the United States
Government is coming down in some of
its prices. It announces, after January
ls% a reduction of ten per cent, on the
prices of stamped envelopes. In addi
tion to this, it offers to print special re
turn request notice upon envelopes with
out additional charge. We have been
for a long time of the opinion that our
Government should mark down some of
its goods. Another cut would do no
harm.
The talk in Washington is that
Butler has an excellent chance of be
ing Governor of Massachusetts, carry
ing with him a gain of two Congress
men ; that Folger will be defeated by
60,000 majority in New York; that
the Democrats will control the Illinois
Legislature and elect a successor to
David Davis; that Nebraska and
Colorado are revolting against Repub
lican rule; that lowa will have three
Democrats in Congress,J as well as
Wisconsin.
When the Mormons moved from Illi
nois to Utah, and built a city on the
border of Great Salt Lake, they took a
long lease on security. So firmly set
tled did they become—combining the
civil with their church government—
that even after the modern civilization
of the Gentiles surrounded them they
defied the government. But they are
at last on the wane. They will either
have to move or modify. As there is
no good place left them to move to,
they will no doubt finally give up poly
gamy and cling to whatever will be life
of their religiou.
Hon. Allen Fort.
The following notice of our fellow
citizen, Hon. Allen Fort, we take from
the Augusta Chronicle and Constitu
tionalist, one of the leading papers of
the State:
Hon. Allen Fort, of Americus, is a
candidate for J udge of the Southwestern
Circuit. Mr. Fort is one of the promi
nent men of the State. He stands well
at the bar with the people of his Dis
trict. lie served in the Legislature
several terms and occupied a leading
position on the committees and took a
prominent part in the deliberations, of
the House.
ON TO THE RESCUE.
The 7tli of November will bring on
the last political battle of the season.
The ground is selected and the order has
been established in the head quarters of
the Republican camp. Let every Demo
crat be ready with burnished armor —
every white man—can any such doubt
his duty? For a score of years the Re
publican party has antagonized all
Southern interests, all the friends the
South had at the North were Demo
crats. Sectional jealousy and hatred
of the South has controlled all its acts.
All our industrial movements looking
to the emelioration and emancipation of
the South,by her enterprising sons, have
been resisted, in our State legislation
and on the floor of the national coun
cil. Has not the Republican press
clamored against us as a people divoid
of law or order? Has not this same
press, through this same means, divert
ed immigration from our section? What
alarm and jealousy possesses them if a
movement is set on foot whose object is
to increase our wealth or influence, or
which looks to the enhancement of our
prosperity, knowing as it does that its
course has forfeited our friendship and
that Southern re-integration will be
ruinous to their selfish ascendency.
Per contra. Has not the Democratic
party of the North met them face to
face and too to toe in the struggle for
our rights. In the dark days it was
our sole reliance. The Democratic
party has defended our good name. It
has opened the gates to fair representa
tion in the National Congress. Can
any one divine a reason which is hon
orable,why a Southern man should pre
fer a party which has always been the
instrument of oppression, to one that
has always befriended us. There is
no reason, hence many who have sus
tained the Republican party in former
years have of late years rallied to the
Democracy. Now is the time; let all
such, black and white, make a fight on
the 7th of November that will unite its
thunder with the rolling triumphs of
the North and West, and the diapazin
ring from the Canada line to the Gulf
of Mexico. The Democracy rules.
Democrats of Sumter County!
Remember that next Tuesday week
is election day, and that every Demo
crat is expected to do his duty. Re
member that every vote counts one and
that to win you must vote. If the
Democratic party is not successful in
Sumter on Tuesday, the 7th of Novem
ber, it will be because you have not
done your duty, because you have been
content to see your Democratic relatives,
your Democratic friends, your Demo
cratic neighbors, remain at home and
fail to deposit their ballots, when every
ballot was needed. If when the polls
are closed no charge like this can be
laid at your door, then the party will
have gained the most signal victory it
has known for twenty years. All that
is necessary for Democratic success is
Democratic energy.
A Disgraceful Scene.
The New York Sun contains this re
port of a scene said to have recently
occurred in the General Land office at
Washington. The Commissioner
touches his bell and sends for a certain
clerk who is “credited to Virginia.”
The clerk appears and is addressed as
follows: “I am sorry to have to say to
you that your place is wanted.” And
when asked by the clerk why his place
is wanted, the Commissioner replies:
“I do not know why. You are faithful,
complete and satisfactory, and I am
willing to give you an endorsement to
that effect. But Senator Mahone tvants
the place for a friend. You will have
to surrender it, for I am powerless in
this matter.”
Now, let its ask in all conscience
how can a department of government,
or how could the business of any corr
poration be run properly and effectively
where a source of so much confusion
prevails? It is against reason. Again,
what a commentary upon the profession
of politics in this country? Here is a
man who jirates about the honor of
his position, and who passes as a polit
ical savior of this State, the home once
of Washington, Jefferson and Madison.
This very little Senator from Virginia
asks for so low a recognition of his ser
vices to the party in control as the re
moval of a deserving and obscure clerk
for the benefit of some other person
equally as obscure. What a picture
is this!
What else does this simple scene
illustrate? That Mr. Mahone is virtu
ally a Republican, and is relied upon
for certain cffectiveVork, and rewarded
accordingly. Most everybody knows
this, of course, but it will bear this fur
ther notice. The whole thing is dis
graceful.
Mr. Foster, who commenced pro
ceedings for a contest of Mr. Zachry’s
right to a seat in the House as the
Representative elect of Henry county,
has abandoned the contest. There !b
yet pending, however, a contest for one
seat in the House, that of the colored
Representative elect of Lee county.
It is announced that Mr. Ferguson
has also abandoned his contest with
Senator elect Hoyt, of the Atlanta
District, and the reason assigned is
that his (jlayton county friends failed
to raise the money to prosecute the con-
Governor Stephens’ Reception in
Atlanta.
Regarding the reception of Hon. Alex
ander H. Stephens iu Atlanta Tuesday,
the Constitution says:
By five o’clock in the afternoon the
people began to assemble at the Union
passenger depot to meet the train, and
to welcome Mr. Stephens on his arri
val. That was three-quartes of an
hour before the train was due, but in
spite of that fact, the crowd increased
rapidly in size until the streets near
the Loyd enterance presented the scene
of a jolly, the impatient mass of mov
ing humanity. As the time for the
arrival of the train drew nearer and the
crowd increased in size, it was a sub
ject of remark that it was composed of
the very best citizens of the city, and
there was evident scarcity of small
boys and such persons as usually
gather when a brass band is playing.
At half-past five the Musical Union
band appeared in front of the Markham,
and at the sound of the cornet there
was a rumble of wheels, and a hand
some carriage drawn by four beautiful
iron grey horses, and driven by Mr.
Willie Jones, dashed along Loyd street,
followed by three others, and proceeded
around to Wall street, where they came
to a halt. The band struck np a lively
air, find the semi-impatience of the
crowd gave way to enthusiasm. The
dozen or so small boys who were on
hand hung around the outskirts of the
crowd and caught np the enthusiasm.
Thqy took their stand a little way down
the railroad, and created some commo
tion several times by shouting. “Here
she comes!” The crowd swayed back
and forth, and as dark came, and the
soft, mellow light of the electric lights
was shed over the scene, every eye
tnrned towards where the train was
first to appear. Alter several false
alarms the small boys set up an un
usually lusty shouting, and against the
side of a long line of freight cars that
lay along side the main line, there
appeared a yellow flickering light that
increased in brilliancy until the engine
turned a curve and the headlight threw
a full stream of light over the crowd.
There ivas a cheer and the band struck
up. and amid the enthusiasm the train
slowly entered the depot. The “spec
ial” could be easily poiuted out, as its
flags were floating from the corners of
the car.
When the train came to a halt there
was a great pressure about the car, but
of course only a few could be admitted.
Senator Brown, Governor Colquitt and
others were among those admitted. The
two distinguished gentlemen warmly
congratulated Mr. Stephens, and every
body appeared enthusiastic and in fine
humor. As soon as the commotion was
somewhat over and before Mr. Stephens
had arisen to leave the car Mr. Kontz
appeared bearing in his hand a full
sized broom, a hearth broom, and a
duster moss elegantly made and beau
tifully trimmed. On one side of the
broom was a skillet, and on the other
were the words: “Sixty thousand ma
jority.” Mr. Kontz handed the brooms
to Mr Henry W. Grady, who seemed
to realize what was expected of him,
and taking his position in front of Mr.
Stephens, made a brief speech, in which
he said that the brooms wore of Atlanta
manufacture and were presented with
the compliments of Messrs. R. T. Hitch
and Davis Smith. The skillet woven
on one side he would readily understand
as well as the meaning of the figures on
the reverse side. He was not to under
stand that he would be expected to make
a clean sweep of men and methods in
the capitol—everything was already
clean there, and he was simply to con
tinue to keep things clean there. Mr.
Stephens said that he realized as much,
and would accept the brooms with that
understanding, and no other. Mean
time the crowd outside was pressing
about the car, and frequently cheered.
Mr. Stephens made ready to go and
was picked up bodily by his valet and
carried out and placed in the carriage
drawn by the four horses which had
been brought around to the Loyd street
end of the depot. Senator Brown,
Governor Colquitt and Captain Harry
Jackson got into the first carriage with
Mr. Stephens. The other carriages
were filled as follows: Second carriage
—Julius L. Brown, Mayor English, H.
W. Grady and R. J. Lowry; third car
riage—o. A. Lochrane, Dr. Fox, VV. T.
Newman, E. P. Howell; fourth carriage
vV. D. Ellis, .Jr. Konrtz, ML Corrie
and Miss Corrie. The carriages were
driven from the depot to the executive
mansion, where a large number of per
sons had assembled. The mansion was
lighted throughout and presented a
brilliant appearance. Mr. Stephens
was met at the-door by Mrs. John A.
Stephens and Mrs. A. G. Greer. When
Mr. Stephens reached the door there
were no persons in the house except the
family, and as he looked first at the
left parlor and then at the right, he
seemed to hesitate which way to go.
Miss Janie Stephens stepped to his
side, and with a true woman’s eye to
the comfort of her distinguished rela
tive, said:
“Uncle, Aleck, come in here to the
fire,” at the same time leading the way
into the left parlor where a warm fire
was burning in the grate. She 'drew
up a oomfortable rattan chair and saw
Mr. Stephens snugly seated in it and
then withdrew as the populace pressed
in to offer congratulations and hand
shakings. Mr. Stephens was in excel
lent spirits, and talked and joked freely
with those who gathered abovt him.
After paying their respects the callers
withdrew, and Mr. Stephens was left
master of the mansion.
Bishop Robert Payne, of the Epis
sopal Church South, died at Aber
deen, Miss., on the 20th inst., aged 83
years.

A Dastardly Outrage.
The Augusta Chronicle gives the
following particulars of a dastardly
outrage perpetrated. near Augusta
Sunday last! “According to Mr. Grif
fin’s statement, his brother, Mr. W. S,
Griffin, left his farm and dwelling,
which is not far from the A. & K. rail
road. But a short time after his de
parture, a man, said to have been in
mask, entered the house where Mr.
Griffin’s young wife was attending her
little infant, about four weeks old. As
soon as he confronted Mrs. Griffin he
drew a pistol and threatened to kill
her. He made her put down her in
fant, and is said to have slapped her
face until her nose bled, then walked to
the bureau, which he ransacked. He
finally secured $1 in greenback, and
$1,75 in silver, two silk neckties, with
a gold leaf pin. He then demanded
money and whisky, and when assured
by the lady that there were none in the
house the robber, she says, drew a
knife, cut her on the breast and on the
side near the belt, It is then said
that he attempted to cut from her hand
her marriage ring with a knife which
is said to have been carried in his own
ring. She attempted to slap his pistol
from his hand, when the. wretch knock
ed her down, kicking her and seriously
bruising her. lie then told her that
he had a grudge against, her, because
she had him ordered out ot her yard a
few weeks back. It seems that this
party was lurking around the arbor in
the garden, and she had one of the
hands to go after him with a shot-gun.
He then threatened to kill her husband,
and warned her that he would be around
again soon. The rascal escaped and
has not yet been arrested. Th lady
is suffering greatly. A reward of $l5O
is offered for the arrest.
An Incubator for Infants.
London Lancet.
M. Tarnier, the surgeon of the
Maternity Hospital in Paris, struck
by the great mortality among infants
prematurely born, and those which
are very sickly after birth, has con
ceived the ingenious idea of construct
ing a box which is almost exactly
similar to the incubators used for poul
try. This box is divided into two
compartments—the lower one being
used as a reservoir for hot water, while
the infant is placed in the upper one,
which is well stuffed at the sides and
fitted with a sliding glass cover. The
temperature is maintained at 80 deg.
fabr., and M. Tarnier has found that
by keeping infants in the incubator for
a period of from two to six weeks,
their vitality is enormously improved.
He has made experiments upon five six
months children six seven months,
ami thirteen eight months children, and
he has only lost two of them, whereas,
according to his statement, three fourths
of them would have died but for this
adventitious aid to vitality.
General Warner, who has been elect
ed to Congress in the Fifteenth Idistrict,
telis an interviewer that- “it was the
reckless extravagance of Congress, the
$79,000,000 River and Harbor appro
priation, and the increased expense of
running 'the Government.” that beat
the Republican party in Ohio this year.
There is a very large quantity of solemn
truth in this remark. There is still,
however, a good deal of difference of
opinion about it. Some say it was the
Germans who did it; others insist John
G. Thompson did; and there is a “smart
sprinkling” of people who think it was
a case of spontaneous combustion.

FROM HARPER’S BAZAR—September, 1882.
Another Velvet season is one of the certainties announced thus early by
the merchants. Plush is spoken of cautiously, and indeed deprecatingiy,
because it does not wear satisfactorily, although there will be many entire
costumes of plush sent over from Paris. The best service, however, is given
in the close short-pile velvets, and in the Nonpareil Velveteen, which is not
easily marred or creased. The Nonpareil Velveteen is found in all the stylish
new shades of old green, sapphire, wine-color, shaudron, bronze, seal brown
and black, and when made with the pile turned upward, so that it will be
raised by wear, instead of becoming flattened and sleek, it cannot be distin
guished from Silk Velvet. The difference in the price makes the costume
cost about one-third as much as if made of Lyons velvet, as the various quali
ties cost from $1 to $2 a yard. The Russian pelisse suits of this velveteen
will be worn in black and dark colors during the early autumn and entire
winter. The skirt will be short and round, and its only trimming a ruche
like that on the pelisse. There will also be English morning suits of vel- -
veteen mado with belted hunting jackets, or the short cut-away coats such
as gentlemen wear in the morning. The lower skirt will be pleated half its
length, gored at tiie top, and tiie gored part covered by ample draperies.
PETERSON’S MAGAZINE—For a very handsome toilet we know of
nothing that can take the place of the Nonpareil Velveteen.
