Hon, Lucius J. Gartrell
_ _ #
Independent Candidate far Gov
ernor of Georgia.
To the People of Georgia ;
Fellow Citizens It will be
remembered that m February
last I announced myself through
the press as an Independent
Democratic candidate for Gover
nor of this State at the election
to be held on Wednesday the 4th
day of October nest, and prom
ised at the proper time to give to
the people au expression of my
tiews and opinions upou all ques
tions affecting what I understand
to be their interest. In this com
munication I fulfill that prom
ise.
Ours is a government of the
people, with full and complete
power vested in them to select
freely aud voluntarily their own
servants and agents, to adminis
ter their government for their
benefit and advantage alone; and
it is the right of the people to
claim the services of any quali
fied citizen without the dictation
of caucuses or political manipula
tors. We have high authority for
saying that a public man ought
not to refuse the call of his peo
ple, and may not a private citizen
be bound by the same obligation,
and exercise, without censure, the
same privilege ? All offices be
long to the people, and it is their
unqualified right to have a voice
and a choice in selecting their
representatives. That proscrip
tive party spirit and political ani
mosilies have contributed in the
past to retard the peace and good
order of society and crippled the
materia! progress gjid advance
ment of oor people, are proposi
tions too plain for denial. Shall
this state of affairs continue ? Or
shall we, as one people and one
nation, forgetting all past differ
ences, discarding all sectionalism,
strive from East to West, from
North to Synth, for a return of
that fraternal good feeling which
will promote the welfare, insure
the happiness, advance the civ
ilization and secure perpetuity of
our representative system of gov
ernment ! Good, efficient, impar
tial, economical government is
essential to a people’s prosperity,
and to secure these objects I un
derstand to be the purpose of in
dependent thinkers and voters in
the present canvass in this State.
Bow is it to be accomplished ? I
answer, by the people taking the
matter into their own hands, and
selecting—not by and through
caucus dictation, or by the man
agement of the few, but at the
box—competent and iaitbful men
for every office within their gift,
and those who will devote their
whole time and best energies to
the discharges ef the several du
ties developed upon them. These
officers of every grade should
faithfully represent the people’s
will, fairly expressed, upon all
subjects affecting the public
good.
In the approaching election
many questaons in wbieh all the
people are interested will be set
tled, and great good or great det
riment to the body politic will
follow. You, my fellow citizens,
have tbe right to know my views
with regard to all these matters of
public concern, and 1 give them
freely and without hesitation.
1 will not attempt to draw
yoar attention from the true is
sues involved in tbe present con
test by a reiteration of mere gen
eralities, but shall deal, candidly
•with tbe living, practical ques
tions relating to the rights and
interests of Georgia. What are
these questions and issues ?
THE RIGHT OF THE HF.OPLE TO SELECT
THEIR OWN SERVANTS AND AGENTS.
When my name was presented
to the people as an Independent
Democratic enndidater for Gover
nor, several months ago,-I started
then, and now repeat, that I real
ize aud shall insist upon the great
righs of the people to select by a
tree ballot and fair count their
own servants and agents to ad'
minister their government for
them and for tlieir benefit, with
out caucus dictation or the appli
cation of the party lash.
THE PEOPLE ENTITLED TO GOOD GOV
ERN MEXT.
If elected, it will be my earn
est desire, by strict and unremit
ting attention to the duties of
this high and resbonsiple office,
to see to it that the laws are so
adminsitered as to advance the
rights and promote the welfare of
all the people of our belove
State. The people are ontitled to
efficient, inmartial and good gov
ernment. It is not only the right?
bat it is the duly, of freeman to
demand it.
EDUCATION.
To secure good government, I
believe that every child should
have the opportunity of acquir
ing a common English education
iu schools forever made free by a
liberal support from the Stale gov
ernment, and by the distribution
among the States of the proceeds
of the sales of the public lauds for
educational purposes.
That strict ecouomy iu all the
departments of the State govern
ment should be rigidly enforced.
A reduction of tne present bur
densome rate of taxation.
Freedom and purity of the bal
lot box in all elections, State and
Federal.
The protection of every citizen
in the enjoyment of his personal
and political rights under the
constitution and laws, with “exact
justice to all men.”
The prompt payment of all just
and legal debts due by the State,
and the careful protection of the
credit and all property of the
Slate, and especially the Western
and Atlantic railroad.
That the present system of
leasing the Slate convicts must
be wiped from onr statutes, as a
foul blot upon our civilization
and humanity.
A revision and re-enactment of
the Road laws which now oppress
so many of our people.
I maintain as correct the Jeffer
sonian principal of opposition to
monopolies of all kinds, and favor
prompt and vigorous opposition
to every measure or system which
tends to concentrate power or
business in the hands of a few
privileged classes, at the expense
of the many.
The Internal Revenue laws,
which bear in many istancies so
oppressively upon so many of our
people, should be promptly modi
fied, revised or repealed as soon
as the public necessities will ad
mit.
1 have giyen you in this ad
dress briefly and candidly my
opinions upon the material ques
tions or issues affecting the public
weal, and now, in conclusion, 1
earnestly desire that the canvass
may be conducted with as~iittle
excitement as possible, free from
all detraction and abuse. An in
telligent people can certainly dig
cuss questions of public concern
without descending te crimina
tion and recrimination. For my
eminent and distinguished com
petitor I have ever entertained
the highest personal esteem, and
no word shall escape my lips cal
culated iu the remotest degree to
detract from his name and fame-
The people are familiar with his
record and mine; and invoicing a
calm and diepassionate judgment
upon principle, and not od parti
san prejudice—with a Iree ballot
and fair count—l confidently
await the result.
* Your obedient servant,
Lucius J. Gartrell.
Atlanta, Aug. 12,1882.
New Corn. —Five sacks of new
corn, well matured and in good condi
tion, arrived at Bt. Louis Saturday and
was sold at auction on ’Change for six
dollars and seventy five cent a bushel.
H was raised near Waco, Texas, it is
stated that large lots of the new crop
Will be ready for shipment from Texas
the latter part of this month. This ar
rival unprecedented in point of time.
Bill Arp’s Philosophy.
It don't pay to get mad about
anything, much less about poli
tics. Getting mad cheats a mar.
out of bis time. He can lose a
day or two days or even a week,
thinking about it and fretting
over it, and that interferes with
his business and deranges his di
gestion, and makes his family un
happy. He had belter go dead
for a while and come to Ufa again.
Getting mad is the poorest way
to get even with an enemy I ever
tried, it don’t pay worth a cent
and always makes a man lose his
own self-respeet. Now a man
may get mad with himself for
being a fool and >t will do him no
harm. In fact, it may do good,
for it’s a sign of repentance. 1
knew a young mart to go to church
fair and the girls honeyfunglcd
six dollars out of him and he
went home and undressed and
lied one arm to the bed-post and
and whipped himself with the
other, and as he cut liim-self
round the legs he would say t
“You go to another church fair!
You let them girls fool you out of
money your again ! You pay ten
cents for every fool letter they
stick at you ? You give half a dol
lar for a little dab of ice cream—
I’ll learn you some sense, I will,”
and as he talked to himself he
kept the switch going lively, and
would dance up and down, jusl
like he was another fellow. Now
that is a good idea. When a
man makes a foool of himself and
goes a ripping around let him lie
himself up and give himself a
good whipping, and then take a
fresh start in the morning. If a
man gets into a fight with another
man he might get whipped, and
everybody would hear of it, but
if he whips himself it will do
more good, and nobody would
ever know anything about it.
The Life of a Farmer,
• There is quiet about the life of
o farmer, and hope of a sereue
old age, that no other business or
profession promise. A profes
sional man is doomed sometimes
to feel his powers are waning.
He is doomed to see the younger
and stronger men pass him in the
race of life. He looks forward to
an age of intellectual mediocrity.
He will be last where once lie
was first. But the farmer goes )
as it were, into partnership with
nature—he lives with trees and
flowers—he breathes the sweet
air of fields, there is no constant
and -frightful strain upon his
mind. His nights are filled with
sleep and rest. He watches his
flocks and herds as they feed
upon the green and sunny slopes.
He hears the pleasant rain falling
upon the waving corn, and the
trees he planted in his youth
rustle above him as he plants
others for the children yet to be.
The Teacher’s Institute.
Editors Courier :—The Teach
ers Institute at Toccoa City is a
success, though not very numer
ously attended. The enrollment
up to the 15th was 28 females jpid
14 males. The instructors were
all present, except Prof. John W.
Glenn who was sick. A series of
free lectures were delivered dur
ing the first week by Key. Dr.
Tucker, ou Best Method of
Teaching English Composition;
Rev. Dr. Lane oh Botany and
Astronomy; Col. D. W. Lewis on
Tbe Study of English; Hon. Lo
gan E. Bleckley on Compulsory
Recitation; Prof. James H. Smart
of Indiana, the title of whose
subject was “Over the Sea.”
At three o’clock on the first,
second, third and fouth days of
the month the Hon. State School
Commissioner, Gustayus J. Orr,
occupied the chair answering any
questions upon the proper ad
ministration ef the school law.
The instruction given in the In
stitute was very interesting, and
according to the latest and most
approved methods of teaching.
Prof. Sanford’s lectures on Arith
metic were enthusiastic and thor
ough; entirely upon the analytic
method, it being almost a hobby
with him. Miss Haygood thought
the word, “method of teaching
children to read,” the least ob
jectionable. She taught the
Spencerian system of penman
ship, and favored ora) as well as
written exercises in the teaching
of English grammar. „
Mrs. Mallon displayed the
nicest skill iu phonics of elocu
tion. Her exercise lessons in
calisthenics were very beautiful,
and her lectnres on physiology
instrective and profitable.
Upon the whole, these Insti
tutes are destined to revolution
ize the system of teaching
throughout our country and thus
do more good, perhaps in the
cause of popular education, than
any modern establishment.
I should like just here to give
your readers a little account ol
my trip to Toceoa and what 1
saw. Tell them of the good
crops, the gold mines, the picb
uresque mountains and beautiful
valleys; of the Toccoa falls,
where the restless water takes a
leap over the crescent rock 186
feet—breaking into a fealherly
spray far more beauliful, no
;doubt, than the Indian girl whose
name it bears. But lest I weary
you I step down and out.
Adam Davenport.
Sudden Wealth.
A man at Rome, N. Y., who had al
ways moved among the poorer classes
and never had much notice taken of
him, has recently been branching out
considerably, putting an addition to
bis house and driving fast horses y and
his family has dressed much better, his
wife appearing with diamond ear-drops
and a red parasol. Inquiry into the
matter has revealed the faot that the
once poor man has just lost an uncle
who left him about forty bushels of po
tatoes. Those who knew the man in
bis umble state, when he was poor, are
treating him as his position deserves
and he is beginning to realize that it
makes a great difference how a man is
heeled in this country. They talk of
naming anew street after him, and
want to get him into the church, and a
new steeple has got to be built and
is thought he will chip iu a few pota
toes. He has had a safe put in his cel
lar with a burglar-proof lock, to keep
his potatoes in.
A Golden If ear.
Boston Star : The country to-day
presents a most encuoraging outlook,
and it is anticipated that the present
year will be most prosperous in the
history of the republic. The crops are
unusually promising and there is every
prospeot of a golden harvest of corn,
wheat, rye and oats. The orchards are
laden with fruit until the boughs bend
and occasionally break. The tobacco
plant stand strong and spread wide, aDd
the cotton bnshes are filled with healthy
and swellig bolls. Look where you
will, and on every side a hundred evi
dences and promises of future plenty
meet the view. Grain and vegetables
and fruit ar all abundant. Every head
and ear and pod and root, every tree,
sulk and shoot, has been touched by a
bountiful hand and will yield this year
a rich return,
A good advertiser say :s “Next to
the love of her husband, nothing so
crowns a woman’s life with honor as the
devotion of a so.n to her. W e never
knew a boy to turn out badly who be
gan by falling in love with his mother.
Any man may fall in love with a fresh
faced girl, and the man who is gallant
to the girl may cruelly neglect the poor
and weary wife in after years. Bnt
the big boy who is a lover of his moth
er at middle age is a true knight, who
will love his wife in the ser&leaf au
tumn as he did in the daisied spring.
There is nothing so beautifully chival
rous as the love of a big boy for his
mother. Boys, think of this.”
Eighty-Five Dollars Lost.
“You do not tell me that your
husband is up and entirely cured
by so simple a medicine as Bark
ery Ginger Tonic?” “Yes, in
deed, j do.” said Mrs. Benjamin
to her neighbor,” and after we
had lost eighty-five dollars in
doctor’s bills and prescriptions.
Now my husband feels a well as
ever.
