OGLETHORPE ECHO
PUBLISHED WEEKLY BY
77/ OS. C!A A 77) hditor and J*ropf*or
Crawford, Ga., - - June 11, 1875.
For Governor.
Not only every Congressional district
in the State, but nearly every county,
Tias “ trotted out” a candidate for Gover
nor. While among the various names
BU KK we recognize several of good
and true men, who would no doubt fill
this responsible office with honor to
themselves and the State, there is one
name, we think, towers far above any yet
proposed or could be named—that of the
Hon. Charles J. Jenkins. In him we
know there is centered all that we could
ask or desire in our Executive—an in
tegrity as pure as the falling snow, an
honor against which naught can be pre
ferred, a talent of the first magnitude,
combined with an ability surpassed by
no living man. “He has been weighed
in the balance, and never found want
ing.” Let our people center on him, and
we feel convinced that when the Honora
ble gentleman sees that is is the unani
mous wish of our people, and that it is
for the good of his beloved old State, he
will again stop from his retirement and
accept the position. So we to-day hoist
the name of the Honorable Charles J.
Jenkins for the next Governor of
Georgia.
“Justice**—(ln a Horn.)
In the last issue of the Athens Geor
gian we see a communication signed “ Jus
tice,” in which the writer makes a side
dash at the Echo and Crawford, on ac
count of their small size, and consequent
insignificance, and then proceeds to “ go
for” our Athens correspondent, “ Musto
pha, in anything but an amiable manner
all because of the writer’s misconcep
tion ofhis (“Mustopha’s”)reportof a bur
glary—and makes some grave charges
against the character of his letters.
Now, we would let “Justice” know
that the size of our town and sheet is a
very sore subject with us, but we hope
the day is not far distant when we will
each attain a respectable size, and, per
haps, be able to sport an “ efficient po
lice force.” But of one thing we feel
proud—although there are no “ stars and
clubs” in our midst, we feel that we can
boast of less crime and better order than
Athens, even taking the respective sizes
of the two places into consideration.
We think we know “ Justice,” and if
we are correct, he is one of ye Editor’s
best friends in that splendid little city,
although, like all of us, he has Be(e)n
Culp-able, and guilty of naughty tricks.
But lie is a splendid officer and kind,
clever fellow. So we will let pass his
slur at the insignificance of our town and
paper, and say a few words in defence of
our able correspondent.
We will begin by saying that the gen
tleman who writes for us under the non de
plume of" Mustopha” is one of the first
men of Athens—a man who would scorn
a misrepresentation, and the last one on
earth to make a covert or indirect attack
upon any one. As to the charge that he
is “ in tire habit of making misrepresent
ations,*'’ tills we most emphatically deny.
His letters are character food for their
■“ wisdom, justice, moderation ” and
truth. True, errors have crept into his
articles a few times, but they the fault of
our 4evil, whom we have long since slain
tend forwarded his remains to the grass
hopper sufferers.
We think “ Justice” misconstrued the
paragraph m nqgard to the police force.
| o*i it ore make ao eo mass end, for we feel
assured that if aught was intended our
correspondent will so state, and give his
reasons in our next. If “Justice” only
knew the high standing and character of
the w riter, he would blush that he al
lowed for u moment such thoughts as he
jg&ve utterance to through the columns
of the Georgian te enter his mind.
For the police force of Athens we en
tertain the highest regard. We feel to
teach member a particular friendship,
And if we thought their characters as
officers or men were assailed, we would
be the first to take up the pen in their
defence. Chief Davis has been long
known to us, and we feel that a braver
.or (Cleverer man w ould be hard to find.
To-night, before retiring, we will of n
nap .a prayer that the eyes of “Justice”
may .be.opened to light, and that he may
be permitted to read .an artiele under
standmgty.

New Hampshire is infested with a
trouble somewhat like Xouisiana. Her
Legislature has been in a broil for some
time. ’ Grant should send Sheridan up.
He is “not afraid.” The matter has
been referred to the courts for adjudica
tion. Truly the Radicals contest every
.inch of ground before retiring. Four
teen years of plunder Ims made them
bold and defiant, but the honest people
have asked them to step aside, and they
will have to do so.

Encampments, and 367 Knights Templar.
—A puzzled St. Louis man writes to
inquire how it is that the sewing machine
companies of the United States cannot

less than from £6O to $.90, and yet can
make a reasonable profit by selling them

—The cause of the failure of masked
robbers to compel the cashier of a bank
at Great Barrington, Mass., to open the

arrived in the morning at which the clock
relieves the bolt.

stood for the first time face to face.

The loop holes which the insurrection

outlines can be readily traced. The places
on the floor where one of Brown’s sons
died and the other was mortally wounded
are pointed out by the villagers, although
the blood stains that remained for several
years have faded out.
—A letter from Kansas City, Mo., re
