AN IMPORTANT CONVENTION.
A governors' convention will be
held in Atlanta on the 10th of Sep¬
tember.
The convention has been called by
Gov. Gordon.
The call was made by request of
the Stato Alliance, which held its
meeting in Atlanta last week.
The objec-t of tho convention is to
consider tho mutter of direct trade
with Liverpool, as well as tho ques¬
tions relative to weights, insurance,
freights, and tho cost of handling
the cotton.
Tho governors of all tho cotton
states have heon invited to attend
the convention, and alsi to appoint
six delegates, making seven repre¬
sentatives from each state.
The convention promises to be one
of great importance to the .south, as
the question of direct trade between
southern ports and Liverpool is one
that has long been the cherished
hope of tho southern people, and its
early consumation will be a forward
"top in our progress, that is devoutly
to be desired.
We hope that tho convention may
be able to formulate some plan by
which this important matter may be
crystalizod in'o a glorious and sue
cessful reality.
Tho south has always been abso¬
lutely dependent upon the northern
merchants, through northern ports,
for tho exportation of our cotton
and other vast products, as well as
for the importation of all foreign
goods that are bought and consumed
in this country.
But this should not be so any
longer.
The south is growing too rapidly
to longer permit such a state of af¬
fairs to exist. Tho development of
the south during the past few years,
has beer, truly phenomenal, and has
made her an empire of vast propor¬
tions. Too vast, indeed, are the re¬
sources of the south tp permit bor to
remain longer dependent upon any
other section for her commercial in¬
tercourse with tho outside world.
The time has come for our people
to “ set up business qii their own
account,”—wi<h the outside world,
and trust tho coming convention
will be able to accomplish much to¬
wards the consuiuation of this great
end.
The farmers alliance wero right
in cull.titf for thin convention, an-J in
ioaugarating tK'-» groat anil impor¬
tant miivemonl in our slate.
Wo trust tha convention \yill ac¬
complish all that its alliance friends
could reasonably hope aqd expect it
Uu do.
Capt. A. A. Winn, of the 3rd Ga.
Regiment and also of Cobb’s Legion O
f
gives the following history of the bat¬
tle flag of the Legion As I return¬
ed to the pine thicket I met Wm Cook,
of Covington, Ga.. the color bearer
of Cobb’s Legion who had also made
efforts to escape. Seeing that all ave¬
nues of escape was closed and that our
capture would follow, the gallant
bearer of the colors said he didn’t like
to surrender them. The enemy’s shells
had set the brush on fire around us.
I requested him to lower his flag and
taking my knife from my pocket cut
the colors from the staff and threw
them on the fire. We then remained
to see the old flag, which had been
carried in triumph from Yorktown to
Sailor’s Creek burn to a crisp. The
flag staff with the tassels were thrown
aside, and the next morning while
Gen. Custer and staff were making a
display of-thfe captured flags, Color
Baerer Cook Tin. 1 myself poiute 1 out
to some of the Legion the renomut of
our dear old battle flag, the st;.ff aisi
tassels. ”

BAD ISTATE OF AFFAIRS.
Once in a while we hear a growler
talking about the evils that beset the
people of Newton county. Of course
we have a grand county and with a
few , exceptions ,. a God ,, . solving, . pe.v. e
loving population. In order to let
growlers know that there are places
much worse than ours has ever been
;
or can ever be, we give this retnarka
able story which comes from two
counties in Kentucky : In the county
ty of Perry a judge is Holding court
guarded by soldiers to protect him
from 400 outlaws. Over 300 mur
ders have been committed in that
county within the last twenty jears.
houses have been robbed and burn¬
ed, and the court house and its re
cords destroyed. No taxes have been
collected in two years, and there is
not a church or school in the county.
The black population in these coun¬
ties is very email. Foreigners ate
even scarcer. Illiteracy and republi
canism predominate, for both Martin
and Perry counties are republican
strongholds. In 1889 Perry cast 51G
republican against 248 democratic
votes. Judge Lilly, who has under¬
taken to restore law and order in the
district, has made his will. lie ex¬
pects to be assassinated. Civil gov¬
ernment has collapsed, and civiliza¬
tion has vanished. Such is the con¬
dition of affairs in that benighted
region. And a republican strong¬
hold, too ; a stronghold of the party
of boasted intelligence, high purpos¬
es and pure morals ! It seems hard¬
ly creditable, but such are the facts.
