FOR CONGRESS,
HON. GEO. N. LESTER,
If the convention should nominate
ns ocnd and pure a man as George
N. Lester, I would ‘/round my arms
nail retire to the shades of private
life.—W. II. Felton in 1874.
Oaij.rfco.vn, September 12th.
OyOim nny one rend Ziick Hnr-
grovo’BCertificute publisbed elsewhere
and not bo disgusted with Felton?
Lo?'Ci'izcns of Hiimlson, Dr. Fel
ton did not wnnt to address you with
Judge Lester.
55?“Dr. Felton, why did you not
ucoept the invitation tendered you
and Judge Lester to discuss jointly
the issues of the dnvnt. Iluohnnnn?
BfUouit week will be the time
for Iltirulsou county to be assembled.
Dr. Felton, why did you not wuit, us
the people wanted to hear you und
Lester together?
55TQuite interesting proceedings
are those detailed in our columns to
day. Democrats—Lester democrats,
— Felton democrats,— read the ac
count of the rally in Home and then
decide upon what you think of the
way this campaign is being conduc
ted, especially by a certain few.
Ill , Felton In lliieliannn,
'Ve learn that Dr. Felton spoke
in Buchanan on the lltli inst.
This is, of course, a refusal to meet
Judge Lester there on the23d. The
appointment illustrated the coward
ice of the doctor and his s'rnng aver
sion to meeting Judge Lester in de
bate. lie prefers going alone uud
speaking to a hundred uud lifty or
two hundred people, rather than
meet Judge Lester and speak to the
whole population of the county, For
there are few people who live in liar-
alson county who will not be in
Buchanan on the 23d. Besides, there
will be in attendance considerable
numbers from Folk and Paulding.
But the Dr. linn not the nerve to meet
his opponent, even when that meet
ing would give him an opportunity
of being heard at once by nearly all
the inhabitants of the county.
Again say we, let every one nsk
himself the question, will such a
man, without the courage or the
manliness to meet his opponent in
open dubate when his interest and
convenience imperatively demaiid it
of him, stand op manfully in defense
of our rights when they are assailed
by the shrewd, experienced and ag
gressive debaters found in the Halls
of Congress?
The Tribune on National Banks.
Judge Lester says that the nation
al banking system should be abolish
ed und the national bank bills now
in circulation be retired and legal
tender greenback notes substituted
in their place. We would like to
know what difference that would
make, as the national hunk bill is
just as good as greenback. We are
inclined to the opinion that Judge
Lester don’t know what he is talking
about, and only blazes away for the
purpose of befogging the publio
mind and getting votes.—Rome
Tribune.
We are inclined to the opinion thut
the editor of the Tribune does not
know what he is talking about uud
only blazes away to deceive us many
of his readers us lie can. Common
sense teaohes anykody but a national
bunker thut the national buuking
system is a curse. Are we to un
derstand that in this matter you re
flect the Bentimenls of your leader,
Dr. Felton? Say?
Dr. Felton at Buchanan.
We have been reliably informed
that Dr. Felton had an audience of
notexceeding one hundred at Buch-
anau yesterday. There was not the
least enthusiasm manifested. The
Doctor could have had six or eight
hundred to hear him just as eaBy if
be had accepted Mr. Brown’s invita
tion to meet Judge Lester on the 24th.
“The straws show &c”
The Yellow Fever.
We had intended transferring to
our columns the latest dispatches
from the infected districts. It is
Bimply appalling. In Memphis the
Btreets are odorous with the smell of
dead bodies. It is becomiig more
malignant every day. Our citizens
should hold a mee ing und do some
thing in addition to what has been
done. God will surely remember
those noble beings who. prompted by
their love for humanity, have re
sponded. Citizens of Cedartown, give.
Give freely, give as largely as yon

(Romo Courier.)
THE FELTON RALEY I,AST SATUR
DAY.
A Felton meeting hud been adver
tised for some time for lust Satur
day in this city. The day came, and
with it a large iiifluX' of the colored
people,old aud young, and a few white
men. About 1 o’clock a procession
was formed up Broad street, and was
murohed down the street to the step
of music discoursed by the colored
band. We counted what wo thought
was one-half of the procession as they
filed across the.lower end of Broad
street, and the portion counted was
less than sixty. We thought a fair
estimate was one hundred and twen
ty five, of all ages, and not a white
man in the crowd. They boro along
with them several bunners, promi
nent among whioli was ouo with
tliis strange legend: “Down with
Traitors.”
After a general pnrade through
town, with a good deal of hurrahing
for Felton, they reached and enter
ed City Hall. Here Henry Ober,
colored, was called to the chair, and
a deputation sent out after Major
Z. B. Ilurgrove, postmaster nt this
place, who delivered a double-
barrelled address in his usual vehe
ment style.
After Postmaster Hargrove had
gotten through, Mr. J. A. Iloltz-
claw, ofD-iltuqaroSi in the middle
of the crow und said that ho was
there by invitation; that ho was the
representative of the Republicans of
Whittleld county, and thereupon
presented his credentials, which
were taken by Major Hargrove. The
chairman seemod to subside into in
significance in the presence of the
Mujor, who asked Mr. Hollzclnw for
whom he intended to speak, and
what he intended to say; Har
grove remarking that this was a Fel-
lon meeting, and they did not intend
to permit any but Felton speeches,
or words amounting to the same.
Mr. Iloltzclaw went forward to pro
ceed with hie piece, when he was
caught hold of by 11 rgrove and a
negro, who apparently tried to force
him from tho hall. At this there
was general confusion, and one
negro commenced waving his hand
to the banrierbeurers aud vociferat
ing in a loud tone, “March out, the
devil hns got among us, march out!”
Such a scene und such confusion
beggar description. During the me
lee Mr. Holizcluw gut a chance to
uunounce that he hired the hall for
that night, and that lie and Mr. J.
E. Bryant would speak there after
dark. At this, Major Hargrove be
came furious, asserting that Bryant
should.uot be heard.
After comparative quiet was res
tored, “Mr. Middlebi'ooks,”a colored
orator, pooceeded to enlighten the
minds of the assembled voters. What
Middlebrook said we do not know,
nor do we care; we only know
that he is the same man that fol
lowed Major Hargroveat Cartersville,
the Saturday before, and said, ns will
be seen by rending our Bartow letter,
that Judge Lester had lost his arm
in a “disgraceful cause.” The fuot
that Major Hargrove would allow
this man to speak us an advocu'e of
Felton alter he used such language
as he did at Cartersville, goes to show
that the seed, stum by Dr. Felton at
Cartersville, when he sneered at the
wonnds of Judge Lester, are bring
ing forth theiriegitimatefruit.
Night came on, and with it scenes
of the wildest confusion ever witnes
sed in onr city. Messrs. Bryant and
Hojtzclaw hud quite a crowd in front
of the City Hall, composed of ne
groes, and a few Democrats went out
to enjoy the scene. Mr. Bryunt in
troduced Mr. Hollzclnw, und Mr.
Iloltzclaw announced himself ns u
candidate for Congress, and proceed*
ed to talk for some little while.
Hargrove had taken his crowd tu
the Court House where speakers
poceeded to talk. Up there words
were uttered which are calculated to
make the blood of every Southern
man run madly through his veins.
We heard the report from different
gentlemen and thought thut fair
dealing required exactness in the
statement of words uttered by one of
Dr. Felton’s faithful udmirers. We
went to ' several gentlemen who
beard the speechofthecolored orator,
Henry Brown, and got the follow
ing statement, with th>-ir names ap
pended. Be it remembered that
Major Hargrove was present, and
these gentleman say that they saw
no sign of dissent from him. Here
is the statement we have from gentle
men who heard the fonl slander upon
the women of the South. We could
get ol her names, but deem it unnec
essary. Not a single man to whom
the statement was presented, doubt-
ted, the correctness of the words,
or refused to certify to their
truth, substantially:
“When the war broke out the
Democrats told every body to go to
the war, go the war, and they would
see their fannies—their wives and
•their children—provided for, and see
that they did not Buffer. A great
many went. There was Mr. ,
Mr. and Mr. . (Here
ho called several proper names we
do not remember) and many oilier
noble men from Bartow county.
Many fell ill the forefront oftlie bat
tle, and their wives went to whore-
ism over the graves of tlicir dead hus
bands, because the Democrats would
not take care of them, and Dr. Fel
ton’s smoke house and crib was open
all the time.
