H. V. JOHNSON FOR GOVERNOR.
To the Editor of Ihe Express:
I notice iu your paper of 10th inst., that
you have a candidate for Governor in your
mind’s eye that you would name at a proper
time. The press <>t the country generally are
advocating the claims of this and that man
from this and that section, and doubtless a
number of them have listened to the siren’s
sung of subsidy till the State’s interest and
the wishes of the people are entirely ignored
and forgotten, so enchanting is the song.
Now, sir, the people are heartily sick and
disgusted with the clamor for the Executive
office by men not at all qualified, and instead
want an honest man and a statesman at the
helm of Slate to steer her into a harbor ot
diguity and sound credit through the forgot
ten or disused cliiDue. of integrity; and in
this connection, Mr. Editor, I w ill say after
having ascertained xlie sentiments of a large
portion of the people so far as practicable by
correspondence and face to face talk that the
general sentiment from all parts is for one
who bus ruled over us with integrity and
pre-eminent statesmanship, and to whom the
people, with one universal glad acclaim, say
well done good and faithful servant—come
rule over us again.
Mr. Editor, the person to whom I refer
needs no eulogy from me or any one el-e.
He stands by his past life and record. I re
fer to the Hon. H. V. Johuson, the noblest
old Roman of them all. Baktow
The foregoing communication is
from a prominent citizen of Bartow
and we know lie reflects the senti
ments of a number of our leading
citizens, not only in this county, but
of other counties of Cherokee Geor
gia. The sentiments of “Bartow”
are entertained by numbers of lead
ing and influential men throughout
Georgia as we Know nf our own
knowledge. Indeed, we say that the
nomination of Mr. Johnson is being
quietly discussed all over the State,
and there has been but two single
reasons why his name has not been
thrown to the breeze. The first is
the fear that he wil L not consent to
be a candidate, and the second is that
it is too early in the canvass to agi
tate the proposition. These state
ments we know to be true, and we
do not hesitate to say that for more
than six months our minti has turn
ed to him as the man who can best
"1* ” ~ r> - Tnnr‘ratjp party and heal

constant and persistent agination of
the claims of less prominent gentle
men who have been made conspicu
ous in the scramble for the Demo
cratic nomination for Governor.
Such have been the efforts of the
friends of certain gentlemen put for
ward for Governor that the Demo
cratic party is now threatened with
trouble, arising from the intemperate
pushing of those gentlemen—all of
whom we acknowledge with pleas
ure to be men of ability and worthy
of public confidence. The evil has
been that their claims have been pre
maturely presented an too vigorous
ly pushed before the people —the
.4_, vJv.-v.11.1v. lit OUV.tI
matters. For nearly four years their
names have been heralded in the
newspapers and their merits written
up iu glowing language, forcing a
portion at least of the people to take
sides, and having taken sides, the
question is now a scramble as to who
shall be nominated. The result is
that the unity and harmony of the
Democratic party in Georgia is seri
ously threatened by division and the
prospect of an independent candidate
for Governor is imminent. It is to
avoid a split in the party and to pre
serve its integrity that every true
Democrat should labor. It is to se
cure the nomination of that man in
whom is combined every qualifica
tion for the executive chair, and
whose reputation as a statesman and
integrity as a man, and whose De
mocracy or fitness for the office ean
not he ones’ioned. that should com
mand the serious thought of all who
w’ould preserve the Democratic party
in its integrity and solidity, wielding
its forces for the honor and renown
of our beloved old State.
Mr. Johnson would represent no
particular section of Georgia. llis
Statesmanship would cover the whole
State in its wisdom, and his admin
istration would combine to know no
part of the State in the affairs of the
government. Into his hands every
interest of our grand old common
wealth could be placed with implicit
confidence upon the part of the
Whole people that it would be pre
served with the fidelity that a patri
otic servant accepts a public trust, de
termined to perform the functions of
his office impartially and honestly.
It is not surprising, therefore, that
the minds of so many are quietly
turned towards him as the man
among all others to restore the unity
and harmony of the Democratic
party in the midst of a scramble for
the highest office within tlip gift o(
the people of the State. His name
carries with it the idea of a true
statesman, an honest man and a con
scientious public servant. If pre
sented to the people it will receive a
spontaneous endorsement from the
masses. A few small and ambitious
politicians would doubtless object;
but the great body of the patriotic
people of Georgia—those who want
no office themselves but desire ali of
fices to he well filled—will spring to
the support of Mr. Johnson with an
enthusiasm unknown since the war
in any State political campaign.
But it is a great question of doubt
whether Mr. John-on would accept
the position of Governor if offered to
him. It the people should see tit to
nominate him, and his nomination
should be conceived to be necessary
to concentrate the forces of the Dem
ocratic party, and necessary to pre
serve its harmony, we cannot see
how he could refuse to obey the will
of a people who have honored him
so much in the .past. In an emer
gency of the kind, and it is
lor an jomisou to accept'me u filet
with justice to himself, we do not see
how he could deliberately defy the
popular will. He will not be an as
pirant. He would not stoop to be
come a more begging politician for
the office. This every man knows,
though Mr. Johnson might desire
it ever so much.
These comments are not intended
as a nomination of Mr. Johnson for
Governor. They are intended, how
ever, to give expression to the views
of hundreds of the solid men of the
State whom we have heard express
themselves in regard to this matter.
And in printing the article we do
not hesitate to say Mr. Johnson
would be our choice for Governor if
he could be induced to accept a nom
ination, notwithstanding the great
respect we entertain for other gentle
men named in the same connection.
It is proper for us to state that this
article is called forth by the reception
of the communication we publish
above.
ROME AND BITTERS.
Rome—our Georgia hill city—is
now writhing in tlie toils of “local
option,” which means the option ol
buying a gallon or more of whiskey.
No man is now allowed to stir lib
toddy with a stick after the ancient
style. It’s a gallon or none, and a
great proportion of our Roman
friends prefer a gallon to going
“dry,” if there were not a way to
evade the traffic by the wholesale.
Our t mperance friends are badly
fooled in their purpose to force peo
ple to buy more 01 the ardent at a
time than they want. The law i>
evaded and “local option" is devel
oped as a vast humbug.
Well, reader, you may guess how
Rome manages an inconvenient ob
stacle to a social glass. Rome is one
of those little cities where genius is
equal to any emergency. Tonics are
healthy, and are not proscribed un
der “local option” regulations, and
hence the Rome people have valiant
ly resorted to their bitters as a sub
stitute for cocktails and whiskey
“straight.” Indeed, we may say
that “restriction” is no obstacle to
drunkenness, and more men have
been seen drunk in Rome, as we are
informed, since the law went into
effect than ever before for the same
length of time. For this the “re
strict ionists” are held responsible by
the more temperate people of Rome.
“Bitters” are to be found in all the
TurpS.
dealers. “Bitters” are to be bad any
where almost—you hear Ihe call for
“bitters” everywhere. It is “bit
ters” here and “bitters” there. It
is “bitters” all the time; “bitters”
first and “bitters” last. Bitters!
bitters! bitters ! and bitters is wafted
upon the echo from every direction.
A iittle bark and wh'skey and it is
“bitters” taken as a medicine which
the local option regulations dare not
proscribe.
We had just reached the corner of
Broad and Howard street on Satur
day evening last upon a visit to
“the etoj-noi cHj "~f outers" when
we were met by Sam Morgan with
two dollars in hand to pay for The
Express, seeming to realize our ne
cessity for hitters. While depositing
the money in our pocket Henry 11.
Smith came along and said that
Smith’s bitters were the be? t in town.
Before we got into his door Col.
Yeiser, next door, called out to us to
remind us of the Cherokee bitters
which he makes and called us in.
They were excellent and we couldn’t
decide between his and Smith’s.
Passing up Broad street to Hoyt’s we
there found P. J. David’s bitters
Dive Powers gave us a chance to
try them while he related tin* fund
story of his twin babies almost as
dear to him as his hitters. The next
ha it was at Peter’s. Fond recoil, c
timisof the past came streaming in
to memory like tin* rays of a beauti
tui sunshine, and Peter’s beer was
good as ever. Peter drank to us and
* 1 ’ ll xvs a menial
mixing of teutonic love and Ameri
can gusli that will ever be to mem-
ory dear.
And still we had not conquered
Rome nor reached the ultimuthule
of the bitters question. Passing on
we reached No. 93. There we met
Fenner with a languishing smile of
welcome that would melt the soul of
adamant. That was too much and
hitters again welded two hearts in
friendship as one. These were ex
cellent. A second trial confirmed
previous conviction; arid by this
time one would naturally exclaim,
“Oh, Rome, great is thy power
great thy cunning—great thy strate
gy against local option regulations.”
The Choice House was reached and
Dvvineil’s room entered where we re
gretted to find him unwell. An
hour or two on matters of state—not
of matrimony—was most pleasantly
spent. And Dwinell made a change
for us in a bottle of fine ale, which
went off as delightfully as if there
were no bitters in town. The return
trip down Broad street satisfied the
writer hereof that for bitters—real
good home bitters—Rome hi tiers are
the best stomach bitters manufac
tured in the United Slates. If local
option has failed to reform Rome it
has at least given to Rome the palm
for the best bitters. To think of
Rome is to think of fine bitters, and
to think of fine bitters is to fondly
remember Rome. The glory of an
cient Rome was never more re
splendent than beloved modern
Rome is heroic in overcoming the
intricacies of lo al option regulations,
and one unvoluntarily exclaims]
■‘Oh, for Rome and her hitters !”
And in ail this there is a h-sson
and it is an exposition of the ab-uml
itv of sumptuary laws—the foolish
ness of the attempts to legislate upon
the personal and individual rights
an 1 tas-‘es of gentlemen to eat or
drink what they choose. It is as
preposterous as the drill of Mulligan
guards and as ineffectual in the u ; 7>. k
of reformation as to pitch straws
against the wind. And yet a large
proportion of the time of the Legis
lature is expend' and in fruitless eff rts
to rest min the use of ardeut spirits

There is no section of Georgia, and
indeed, of the United States, where
the munificent hand of Providence
has scattered so many and so pro
fusely the elements of material
wealth as that of Cherokee Georgia.
If the other portions of the western
hemisphere had been made by jobs
it would appear that after all e ther
sections had been created it was nec
essary for the hand of nature to make
one grand stroke and that was the
creation of this magnificent country.
Here nature has given us a succession
of blessings in our agricultural lands
and mineral deposits. The hills and
mountains are filled with all kinds
of minerals, while the vales and val
leys present to the eye the grandest
panoramas of fertile plains, rich and
inexhaustible in productions.
The works we now attempt to de
scribe in a feeble way are the most
splendid of their kind upon the
American continent —inexhaus’ible
in supply and unapproachable in
quality, rivalling in their produc
tion the famous Portland cement.
These works are located about one
and a quarter miles from Kingston,
immediately on the YV. & A. R. R.,
with side tracks for the convenience
of the works. These were formerly
known as Howard’s lime ( works, and
were first developed by the distin
guished gentleman who owned the
property, Col. Chas. W. Howard.
Three years ago Col Geo. H. War
ring, son-in-law of Col. Howard, be
ing in possession of the property, be
gan in a small way to produce ce
ment. By close application and en
ergy he has succeed-d in placing his
cement quite prominently u|.<m tm.
market. Up to the present time a
water mill leas been employed to
crush and grind the cement rock; but
tne demand for it having increased
so rapidly Col. Waring found he
could not supply tue demand, and
has recently purchased and placed in
position the best improved machin
ery for the purpose. He has a splen
did “Buckeye” engine of fifty horse
power and two fine French burr
stones four feet in diameter. Th is
machinery will be put in operation
in a short while, and will have a
capacity of two hundred barrels per
day, giving employment to from
twenty to twenty-five skilled and un
skilled workmen.
For the past two years the cement
from these works has been used
exclusively by the Western & Atlun
lii; Railroad company in the buihl-
McR -.e, Cap’. Posted, Marlin liooty
and Capt. Fiynn all have useu and
endorse it both on the road and in
Atlanta, and no other cement is u-ed
by that company. Wherever the ce
ment has been used it is pronounced
to be the best on the market.
The cement of these works was re
cently placed in successful competi
tion with the Louisville and James
river cement works, the most cele
brated in the United States. The
contest was to supply the cement for
building the biidge over the Tennes
see river. ehrht miioo ..b-.-v-c on*itt<x
nooga, for the great Cincinnati South
ern railroad. Such was the supe
riority of the Howard cement that
Col. Waring received the contract,
and will furnish five thousand bar
rels, with every probability of sup
plying all the cement that will he
needed in the construction of bridges
and culverts on that road. It will he
remembered that the car-shed at
Chattanooga was built with the How
ard cement.
The crushing mills and the engine
just being placed in po-itiou are
splendid pieces of machinery—the
first being pat up by Mr. Win. Bren
ner, of Atlanta, and the other by the
“Buckeye” engine company, of Ohio.
L’he popularity of the cement here
manufactured will, in a few years,
and its way into every market upon
this continent. Mr. T. C. Douglas,
superintendent of masonry of the
East dyer bridge, New York, pro
nounces the Howard cement “equal
ly as good as tin- English Portland
cement.” It stands better for cisterns
or masonry in water than any other
cement known, and in its manufac
ture every care is taken to produce it
free of lime.
This much ’we have written of a
very important enterprise in our
county to show to our distant read
ers one among many of the vast min
eral resources which must some day
make Bartow county one of tfe
wealthiest counties in the State. We
wish Col. Waring may realize his
most sanguine expectations. He
has a good tiling because it is inex
haustible and because its quality is as
good it not the best on the American
continent.
XU Ji CA I>KTsHIP,
The contest for the cadetship under
the appointment of lion. W. H. Fel
ton, which was decided last night,
after two days of the most rigid ex
amination by the board selected by
our representative, was in favor of
Edgar Hubert. There were twenty ap
plicants who stood the ordeal of the
most scrutinizing examination to the
ond. It is gratifying to us to say
that we have never seen a class of
young men who exhibited more pro
ficiency upon all the studies in which
they were examined ; nor have we
ever seen a board of gentlemen more
determined to award the prize to the
one deserving it than the board ap
pointed by Dr Felton.
The successful applicant may well
congratulate himself upon the success
won over such strong competition.
While he does so he has but little to
boast of over his competitors. Such
was the proficiency of the eliss that
it was, however, an honor to be
proud of to be the victor ; and yet
those who did not win have,
nothing to be ashamed of—
for it may be truthfully asserted
that not another class of twenty
young men could have presented a
eieauer sheet of merit than the one
who have passed tins ordeal of*ihe
mostscrutinizingexamiiatmii. Weil
may Cherokee Georgia feci proud ol
these specimens ot her young man
hood. Would it wore possible there

1 HAT i.I.NU AGAIN-
In its issue of Sunday the Augusta
Const it ui Umuiist, referring to what
was said last week in The Express,
concerning rings, says:
“Our N <rtli Georgia contemporary now de
cluret* lie his inforinniion tli.it there was a fur
midaiile political ring neiiur made up about
I lie halls ol the Legislature, tint lll.lt lie Was
not permitted to divulge for the reason thai
he would commit a hreaeli of confidence
What the nature of that ring is lie did not
Male, except that it was political in its na
ture, and was designed f->r the political ad
vauc* incut of a certain clique wl.o can onlv
aspire to office through the manipulation oi
such continuations.”
We said our informant “was not
permitted to divulge for the reason
that/ie would commit a breach ol
confidence.” We are fearful our in
formant is right. The four years’
campaign of Colquitt, Hardeman and
James has nearly exhausted their
strength, as is already observed by
sharp and hungry politicians who
are anxious to “get in” through the
demoralization of the forces of these
gentlemen. In the midst of the con
fusion and dust kicked up by their
friends, we shall not be surprised to
see an attempt made to shitt the gu
bernatorial question from meretri
cious considerations to those ot sec
tional prejudice.
The gubernatorial question wil
soon ioom up as the most intricate
one, and wv- ftfar disafieciion will le
the result through the scheming m
politicians who are controlled nmn
through personal interest thun from
any special regard lor the interests ol
tin- Slate and people. To accomplish
their ends rings and combination?-
may be formed, and sectional pr< ju
dges appealed to for the purpose ol
sustaining th<se “who can only as
pire to office through the manipula
tions of suv-n.uoio Ui nations.”
As an honest journalist—having no
interest in politics personally, bti!
always seeking to the extent of our
humble ability, to subserve and ad
vance the public good, the ends ol
good government and its adminis
tration by the best men—we warn
the people of Georgia to be careful
h,w they commit themselvee to the
political fortunes of any man. What
we want in a Governor is a true and
honest man, capable and equal to the
duties connected with the office.
Speaking for Tiie Express, we tire
in favor of the nomination of that
man who can best promote tlie in
terns s of Georgia, whose ability,
statesmanship and fitness for the
office combine to make him the most
desirable man for the place. We do
not care a straw from what part of
the State that man comes from to the
the ufficeTsYbb'gr®? *xo',°j
the score of such a man’s residence in
the State.
Such a man as we desire to be gov
ernor, never places himself in the
attitude of an aspirant. He would
scorn to drag himself down to the
levei of political beggary. Such a
man desires to serve the people only
when the people unite in calling him
to service, and he assumes the duties
of an office reluctantly. Such men
never align themselves with rings,
or cliques, or place the issues of a
great political campaign upon merely
person ol or sectional grounds.
Our idea is.that the people of Geor
gia—we mean the true Democracy of
the State—should seek to place in tin
executive chair a man who is not an
office seeker, but one who has the
ability, the statesmanship and the
personal merit to recommend him to
their confidence. Let the people
speak for themselves in this matter,
and let the mere political tricksters
and office-seekers go to the rear.
MR. STEPHENS’ CONDITION.
The Augusta Constitutionalist , of
Tuesday, says it learns from Mr.
Clarence Stephens, that the present
condition of Hon. Alexander H.
Stephens i xeites the liveliest appre
hensions of his friends. Even the
“Great Commoner” himself be is
that the state of his health is such
that he cannot continue with
mug. His present condition is not
brought around by any special com
f.iuii.t, Cut i.ju iu-i' ikm.ir doWll
of the whole system. The same in
formation was given the Constitu
tionalist a few days ago by a distin
guished physician, but, at that time
ii did not feel justified in making the
statement in positive terms, but now
that Mr. .Stephens himself, feels the
prt cariousness of bis condition, it is
proper that his friends and the peo
ple should know it.
