LUDVILLE LOCALS.
REPORTED BY MAULIN.
Lcdvili.k, Ga., November 21st, 1877.
The new Constitution has taken with
both Republicans and Democrats in Pick
ens. Our people are a unit for Atlanta,
and who would not be?
We have no excitement on the Senatorial
race. The candidates ate Win. Simmonv
Jos. Chastain and Win. Day. Day seems
to be the foremost man here, though they
ail cla:m to be ahead over the three coun
ties.
Our people have gathered corn and wheat
is nearly ail sown. We are backward this
fall, owing to a cold spring and dry sum
mer. Corn crops are not as good as were
expected, but plenty, if properly taken
care of.
Our little town is somewhat lonely just
now, as the Ludville Academy closed its
fall Bcssion last Friday. Ihe scholars, in
their exercises, exhibited the advantages of
educational institutions in our mountains,
and acquitted themselves with muoh praise
from the audience. The school is com
posed of scholars from Bartow, Gordon,
Floyd, Cherokee,Pickens counties and even
some from Gilmer. Profs. C. B. Vin
cent and 0. A. Steed are gentlemen in the
true sense of the term; being well broken
to harness they form a powerful team in
an institution of learning, and have the
praise of having in less than 3 years made
Ludville Academy second to none in North
east Georgia, At the conclusion of the
exercies Capt. Bob Kelly made us a rous
ing speech on the new Constitution. He
handled the Constitution of 1868 with
gloves off, said he was for Atlanta, and
wanted it understood he was no aspirant
for office, unless his friends urged it. He
endorsed Prof. C. B. Vincent to fill the
vacancy of Col. Allred in the lower House.
His prospects are flattering, provided there
were not as many Democrats running. Wc
now have three Democrats, to-wit: C. B.
Vtaceat, Squire Crow and Kimaey Wood
vs. Robt. Howell, Republican. The mis
fortune with our Pickens’ Democrats is
too many fe 1 called, while but few are
qualified. Ti e result is, generally, the
opposition walk in.
MORGAN TON MATTERS,
AS SEEN BY LEO.
Moroaxtox, Ga., November 93, 1877.
Again we are visited by a cold rain,
which renders it very disagreeable for out
door exorcise. Our streets are in such
condition that a little ralu makes them
very muddy. It is to be hoped that the
Town Council will take notice and repair
them —at least we think they ought to.
We are sorry to know that Johnnie
Ketchersid, of Ducktown, is now prostrate
upon the bed of affliction, scorched with
fever and maddened with delirium symp
toms so characteristic of that dreadful fever
called typhoid. He is a noble-hearted
youth, just verging upon the brink of
manhood, having been brought up in the
fear and admonition of God—a stranger to
the vices of men he promises to become a
good and useful man to his country—we
pray God to bless him in restoring him to
his wanted health.
As the prodigal son brought joy and
gladness to the heart of his fattier by re
turning borne, so did a young tuaq bring
joy and gladness to the heart of ouc of our
1 young ladies by returning to Morgan ton.
' lie bad been abaant for several weeks, and
suddenly returned without informing bia
friends of bis coming. Whereupon, the
young lady, bearing of Ids return, imme
diately dispatched him the following note,
warmly congratulating him:
“Moat pueeaentand renowned conquetor
of hearts, Colonel-commandant of the
corps of cupida, whose bead-quarters are
thy brilliant eyes, whose arteries are tliy
charras,allow the meanest of your captives
to congratulate you on your safe and wel
come return to the town of Motganton
after so long and painful an absence- I
am yours only and forever, E. G. ”
No doubt this young man’s heart was
filled with enthusiasm as he ran his eyes
over this delicately written note. We im
agine we can almost see the warm blood
mounting to his temples and the crimson
colored blushes playing upon his cheeks.
No one could blame him for this, we are
certain; for to be restored to the family
circle, greeted by the kindest of pareuts
and welcomed by out-door friends is de
lightful. But to be so warmly congratu
lated by a beautiful, young and tender
maiden is simply heavenly.
The candidate who will promise to en
deavor to remove the professional tax from
the poor, poverty-stricken doctor will get
our vote, influence and prayer. We feel
assured that the Legislative halls for the
ensuing term of legislation will be filled
with a body of noble-minded men who seek
to do right— who strive to do to others as
they would be doue by—and now, dear
candidate, we plead with you in behalf of
the poor doctor who pays out his money
for medicine, gives it away to his fellow
man and pays a professional tax of ten
dollars every year. See what the recent
Convention has done for this poor class of
men who arc daily relieving the suffering
humanity of our country—those noble
hearted gentlemen, God bless them. They
have reduced the homestead and made the
collecting laws such as will enable the doc
tor and others to collect tlicir just debts.
Now will you be behind them ? Are you
not as noble as they, and will you not do
one good act for this poor class of men in
removing this unjust tax? We hope you
fed in your own mind that It is just and
right to give to us tho favor we ask.
Remember, then, I only ask
This simple favor of thee;
And may it be an easy task
To do something for them “and me.”
And when you’ve met in the grand old halls
Where small things are forgot.
Cast one lingering look on this,
And read and forget them not.
They have waited long and patiently,
Yet no relief has come.
And now we plead in behalf of them,
Can you afford them some ?
A WORD FOR MILLEDGEVILLE,
Editor Courier :—I see that you are
taking strong ground in favor of the State
Capital remaining at Atlanta, Can l have
a space in your paper to say a few things
in favor of Milledgeville, so that your read
ers cau have both sides of the question ?
I ant fully peisuaded that it is to the
interest of the people of Georgia that the
Gapital go back to Milledgeville; and
when I say the people I mean the tax pay
ers, as they are the ones interested and
should give this question a candid consid
eration. lam one of this class, have seen
and noticed the workings of the State Gov
ernment at both places for good or evil,
for a series of years, and have decided to
vote for Milledgeville for the following,
among many reasons; ,
The Capital was removed from Louisville
in 1807 under stroug opposition with the
sacred pledge of the State that Milledgc
ville should be the permanent site of the
State Capital. Population and capital soon
centered there, feeling that all was beyond
failure. Citizens vied with each other as
to who should excel in accommocationsfor
the Legislature. The present old Capital
building was erected by the State, railroads
and hotels were built for the accommoda
tion of the public by enterprising capital
ists. Now, I ask is it right for us to sac
rifice the pledges of our fathers and visit
upon the citizens of Milledgeville such
grogs injustice ? The principle is wrong,
and should be rebuked.
You will remember that some years ago
Macon made a bid for the Capital, and still
more recently Atlanta made a bid for it.
3oth were voted down by an overwhelm
ing majority of the tax payers of Georgia
on the ground of the pledge and faith of
the State and the gross injustice it would
cause to the citizens of Milledgeville. This
settled the matter, and it would have re
mained settled liad not Gen. Mead removed
it to Atlanta because it was bis headquar.
ters. A convention was called by military
power,and the complexion of that conven
tion is still fresh in the recollection of the
tax payers of Georgia, as thirty-seven were
illiterate negroes lately freed from bond
age, who knew nothing of the wants of
the State or their own good, while many
others were non-re-klents, who had come
here to plunder and rob an already impov
erished people. These were the men who
controlled the convention and removed tiie
Capital in opposition' to a majority of the
true citizens of Georgia. Is not this a good
reason why we should go hack to Milledge
viile, or do wc yet feel the yoke of subju
gation and are still willing to wear it ? To
appease the people fur this outrage Atlanta
promised to furnish a State House ten
years. Did they do it ? 'I he history of
the Opera House swindle is too well known
to r* q lire relit arsal. Is this not a sufficient
rtasou that this breach of good faith should
be rebuked by going back to Milledgevillc ?
It has cost tiie Stats a vast amount more
to legislate in Atlanta than it did in Mils
lcdgeville. Is not this another reason why
we should go back to Milledgevillc 1 The
legislation of Atlanta has inyolycd the Stub;
in overwhelming debt. Taxes are crushing
dowf the people. Insolvency sud bank
ruptcy stare us In Um face. Are them not
good reasons that we should desire to go
back to the bouse of our fathers!
Milledgeville is in a few miles of the
geographical center of the State, and is
near the center of the population of the
State. We have a Capital building of
ample size and a Governors mansion all
paid for, that was good enough for Clark,
Troup, Gilmer, Lumpkin, Schley, Craw
ford and others, who were ornaments to
the State and whose very names we revere.
Finally, nothing can be said favorable
for Atlanta that is not equally true and
favorable for Milledgeville. Let the tax
payers ponder well these facts and cast
their votes accordingly, remembering that
to remove the Capital to Milledgeville does
not remove Atlanta, but that the Gate City
will atill be tbe pride of the people of
Georgia. .Mountaineer.
LETTER FROM MOBGANTON.
Morganton, Ga., Nov. 27th, 1877.
Editor Courier :—Please allow me,
through your columns, to feel the public
pulse and see if there remains a spark of
gratitude or reciprocacy jjii the part of
Fannin and Uiliuer to doFlckens county
justice. We are just on t|ie eve of elect
ing a Senator to represent hs in the Forty
first Senatorial district. Fannin remains
iu statu quo, and Gilmer, unfortunately,
has two candidates in the field, who are
doing their best to defeat Pickens. On
every thoroughfare—at com stiuckings—
are to be found these candidates arging
their unjust claims as muck ns if Pickens
had no right to a Senator. Is this right?
Is it just and in accord with rotation ?
“Out with the dog,’’ says one; -‘What
cur is that?” says another; “Whip him,”
says a third. “Whip who?” why, poor
Pickens. Is she, indeed, to be held down
and never have any right to a choice of
Senator ? Shall it ever be as it appears ?
“Lay on, Me Duff. ” Will not Gilmer and
Fannin say that Pickens has had enough ?
We hope so. Then let Gilmer pull off her
big dogs and let the little pup, Pickens,
have a chance, and thereby establish har
mony in the uow shattered and disordered
ranks.
We want a Senator from Pickens be
cause it is just; not only just, but right,
according to ttie system of rotation. It is
but natural that Pickens should and docs
demand her right to a Senator, and we, the
voters of Urn Forty-first Senatorial dis
trict, shoulc. see that Pickens gets her
rights by coming square up to the polls on
next Wednesday and voting for a candi
date from Pickens.
We are taking no stock at all in politics,
but wc do love to gee accord and harmony
and shall go for Pickens teeth and toe nail.
Then let us love and do justice, though
Ilcavcu should fall—throw away our sel
fishness and do equal justice ttrall sections,
and restore uniform rotation.
