THE STUMP.
Hon. H. P. Bell Makes a Stirring Speech for
Billups and the Democracy—the Gentleman
from Banks, Broken Remarks.
According to his appointment, the lion.
H. P. Bell spoke to a large body of the citi
zens and voters of this county on last Satur
day, in the Court House. He started out by
saying that he did not come for the purpose
of arousing the prejudices or passions of the
people, but to discuss the issues of the day.
After speaking of the peace we enjoyed and
the fact that, after ten years of hard struggle,
the Democratic party had at last succeeded
in giving local self-government to the South
ern States, he explained in a clear and con
cise manner the financial views of the Demo
cratic party, urging the people to continue
their confidence in the ability of this party
to extricate them from the present depres
sion, the cause of which he said was occa
sioned by the iniquitous and unjust system
of financial legislation in the interest of un
taxed capital. Mr..Bell is certainly at home
upon this all important question, having all
of the facts at his immediate command.—
This portion of bis speech was exceedingly
interesting and instructive. After spending
a considerable portion of his time upon this
point, he next turned his attention to the two
candidates now before the people for their
suffrages. He said he favored the election
of Col. Billups on account of his personal
character ; on account of his great and ac
knowledged ability, and last, but not least,
because he was the exponent of the Demo
cratic party. He said the election of Mr.
Speer would be a public calamity’; that if he
was a Democrat, lie had a poor way of show-
ing it; that lie was nothing but a self-consti
tuted candidate. Charged Mr. Speer with
trying to disorganize the party when the
time of its National triumph was near at
hand ; said he was trying to divide the party
upon the color line. Here lie acknowhdgid
his claims upon the colored people, and
asked them not to make the mistake of ar
raying the two races against each other.—
He then referred to Mr. Speer’s record as a
public officer, and read an extract from the
Grand Jury presentments of Gwinnett coun
ty, in regard to Mr. Speer’s conduct in that
county. Ilis whole speech was listened to
with marked attention, and was well received
by the people. His time being out, he con
cluded, and was followed by the
IION. JAMES ,T. TURNBULL,
Of Banks county’. This gentleman took the
stand, amidst the thundering applause of the
Speer men, and proceeded in his happy and
most felicitous manner to demolish Mr. Bell
and his arguments, lie said that Mr. Bell
had spent most of his time in explaining his
ideas upon finance In this matter he agreed
entirely with him, as lie had read the same
arguments last winter, in a speech that the
Hon. gentleman had sent him. He alluded
to the fact that Mr. Bell had given way to
Dr. Felton, an Independent, while in Con
gress, so that the Dr. could make h speech
upon finance, thus admitting that the Inde
pendent man was better upon finance than
he was. lie remarked that he thought this
was the best thing that Mr. Bell did. Said
that he had voted for Mr. Bell in the Hill and
Bell Convention all the way r through, and the
reason was because his friends had a jug of
liquor in their room ; that he used to go over
mid get a drink every evening. He alluded
to the rumor that there was an agreement
between Bell and Carlton. He also alluded
very feelingly, and commiserated the fact,
that the Democratic party had set him back.
He denied most emphatically that there was
any alliance between the Independents and
the Radicals; said he was a good Democrat,
and had never denied the faith. Here he
alluded to the fact that the Pine Field News,
as he called our paper, had gone back on
Jefferson. He said that Billups was not a
representative man : was not known in the
District; that he had never been to Forsyth
county, until his candidacy. He said that
Billups ran away from his home, in Morgan
county, when Speer, a soldier boy, was
marching by defending it. He here pitched
into Lester for taking a retainer from Joe
Brown, in the interest of the State Road
lease. He then charged that it was the
lawyers that were opposed to Speer, and
instanced a great many of them that were
against him, because they envied his talents,
and that they were the ones who were trying
to keep Speer down. He said that he ought
to know something about rings, he had been
into enough of them. He then told how
delegates in Banks county were elected in
the interest of Carlton, stating that himself
and his Independent friends held the balance
of power, and voted for the man they’ thought
Speer could beat the easiest, consequently
Carlton men were elected, and this, lie said,
defeated Mr. Bell. He then wound up by
making a stirring appeal to the Independents
to vote for Speer, whom he eulogized to the
skies.
MR. BELL
Had thirty minutes to reply in, which he put
to good advantage ; meeting all of the charges
that were made against him in a most con
vincing manner. So completely did he use
up the gentleman from Banks that the latter
could not keep still in his seat, but rose re
peatedly and interrupted him. The two
speeches were a good sample of the respect
ive parties. The one was grave and digni
fied—arguing priiftiples and discussing the
measures for the relief of the people; the
other made to touch the feelings and the
passions of the people, dealing in personal,
ities, discussing men, and not the great prin
ciples of a party.
—The lion. Jcems says he would like to
have one-fourth of Speer's talents. This is
either a modest estimate of his own, or It's
[piling it up high for Speer.
Letter From Mulberry.
Emory Speer Investigated — Col. Billups and
Nominating Conventions — Our Schools,
Crops and Fruit—The News.
Editor Forest News : —A truer and more
pointed utterance never fell from the lips of
any one thau that of Emory Speer, when he
said, in his address to the Democracy of
Clarke eounty, in 1872 : “There are but two
parties—the Democrats and the Radicals—
and one who opposes the Democrats furthers
the cause of Radicalism.” A greater truth
than this was never more pointedly uttered
by any one. There are but two parties.—
Thefe were but two in 1872, and there arc
but two now. If any’ one who opposed the
Democrats in 1872 furthered the cause of
Radicalism, does he not do the same in 1878 ?
Most assuredly he does. Mr. Speer also says,
in this same address: “That man who, con
trary to the wishes of the people, will insist
on opposing the nominee, is a disorganizer,
and no friend to the success of Democratic
principles.” Yes ; that is very true. A man
that will oppose the nominee is a disorgan
izer, and no friend to the success of Demo
cratic principles. He was in 1872 and is now.
Mr. Speer fixed the epithet “Disorganizer”
on those who opposed the nominee in 1872,
and he must now wear it himself. But fur
tlwr, Mr. Speer in this same address, when
Dr. M. S. Durham was nominated by the De
mocracy of Clarke county, begs and insists
that the Democrats go to the polls en masse,
and by a solid vote for Durham, the nominee,
elect a representative of the people’s choice.
Oh! how much Mr. Speer has changed since
he made that address, and how differently he
now talks. Instead of supporting the stand
ard bearer and nominee, Col. Joel A. Billups,
as he did Dr. Durham in 1872, he denounces
Col. Billups and his record, and the Conven
tion that nominated him as an irrepressible
faction of tricksters, rings and cliques, etc.
But Mr. Sj>eer claims, in justification and
vindication of bitnself and his course, that
here have been changes made in the Demo
•ratio party since he made that address.—
We think this exists (if it exists at all) in Mr.
Speer’s imagination. The condition of the
party is the same as it was in 1872. It is not
the party, it is Mr. Speer who has changed.
The truth is, Mr. Editor, when Emory gave
utterance to the language contained in that
address, and from which we have made ver
batim quotations, the true spirit was moving
him. He was in the straight and narrow way\
No truer patriot and sounder Democrat was
to be found. Now. however, it is different
with Mr. Speer. Ilis political aspirations
have become so strong, and his inordinate
itching for office so great, that he has aban
doned his party and its principles. It is to
be regretted that a man with Mr. Speer’s abil
ities—a man that once stood up Iwjldty and
unflinchingly for the organized Democracy
and vigorously fought Ra licalistn—a man
that every’ Democrat in the country was proud
of, and who seemed destined to make his
mark and a bright and shining light, both in
the world and in politics, should forsake the
organized Democracy and work in the inter
ests of our enemies, for the sake of getting
into office.
Mr. Speer and I)r. Felton, as well as other
Independents, claim to be Democrats, yet
they do not fight Radicalism any, but make
war all the while on the Democratic party.
Before Mr. Speer quit the Democratic party,
he was very vigorous in his attack on the Rad
ical party. His language was so plain and so
unmistakable that everybody understood him
and his position. Now, noboy knows what
he is. He has been editing the Watchman
nearly a year, and canvassing the county for
nearly two years, during which lie has not
dealt a single blow against Radicalism. Oc
cupying the position he does, he cannot ex
pect to accomplish much. He knows that,
outside of the ranks of the Democratic party,
there is no remedy for any evil nor no redress
for any wrong. He knows the suffering, the
wrong and the evil the Radical party has en
tailed on this country, and yet, he rushes on
recklessly, Ringing tenaciously to his inde
pendent proclivities, which are in antagonism
to our every interest—to true Democratic
principles, and which he himself truthfully
and patriotically said would further the cause
of Radicalism. In his advocacy of free whis
ky, and plenty of it, Mr, Speer thinks he is
touching the right chord. In this Mr. Speer
is egregiously mistaken. In view of what
spirituous liquors have clone for our land and
country, Mr. Speer will not make many votes
on this line. It involves our peace, our hap
piness and our prosperit}\ It is worse than
war, pestilence and famine. It is filling our
asylums with the poor and the inebriate, and
spreading vice and entailing miser}' and suf
fering on untold millions. No people on
earth, distinguished for patriotism, sobriety,
intelligence, refinement, morality and reli
gion, should support a man who will advo
cate such an evil. Mr. Speer’s denunciation
of nominating Conventions is but a species
of sophistry intended to deceive and liegnile.
Mr. Speer knows that it was the split in the
Convention at Charleston, in 1860, that
brought out three Independent candidates,
thereby electing Abraham Lincoln to the
Presidency, which brought on the war with
all of its horrors. There is not a particle of
truth in some of the allegations which have
been brought against Col. Billups. Mr. Speer
and his following have attacked Col. Billups’
war record. Now, while it is true that Col.
Billups was not engaged *iri active service, he
rendered better and more efficient service
while at borne, in supplying the wants and
necessities of some of our poor suffering sol
diers on the field. Mr. Speer, we presume,
has a very brilliant war record, He was quite
a lio}' when the war broke out. and Was in
so many sanguinary engagements that he is
all the one of the boys of biff command, or
[ rather the command to which ho belonged

that now survives. Now, in conclusion, we
will say that, however much Col. Billups may
be denounced and misrepresented bv Mr.
Speer and some of his following, there is not
a trner patriot in the Ninth, nor an abler man
in the State, than he. All of our public men
endorse him, and the press throughout the
country (with an exception or two) urge his
claims. lie is the people's choice; lie is the
man to elect, and we advise all Democ rats, of
whatevar race or color, to stick to their par
ty, and vote fora mail that is in the party,
and not for one who has quit the parly for
the sake of getting into office. Go to the
polls, Democrats, cn masse, as Mr. Speer told
you in 1872. and support the nominee.
Our schools have closed. Farmers very
busy picking cotton. Cotton crop is cut oif
about one-third. Corn pretty good, though
not as good as it last year. Fruit is sor
ry. Apples have taken the rust, and are no
account. The people around here are highly
pleased with the Forest News, and say it is
the best weekly in the State. The new mail
route is now established. Look for new
subscribers. Respectfully,

A Card.
Jefferson, Ga., Oct. Ist, 1878.
Ed. Forest News:—Permit me, through
the columns rrf tour valuable paper, to say
just a few words. I was told, last evening,
by a very prominent politician and gentle
man (and one who is figuring very largely
for Speer) that in the conflict with mj'self
and my assailant, which commenced in the
Georgia Legislature, I killed my adversary,
and was also kille 1 myself, politically.—
Well, be it so, as many others have said the
same tiling. Then I claim : Ist, That, while
a public servant, I discharged my duty faith
fully as such, which cannot successfully he
denied. 2d, That in defending myself, I
relieved the county of a very troublesome
politician, from whom the people have been
vainly trying to free themselves for several
years. 3d, That I die a martyr in a good
cause. That is glory enough for one man.
But that is not all. The same gentleman
said had it not been for the controversy
above alluded to (in which Speer himself
took a very active part) that he (Speer) would
have carried Jackson county, in the coming
election, bj’ an overwhelming majority.—
Then, political brethren, if I have Irecn the
instrument in accomplishing these facts, and
more especially that of reducing the vote of
a man so unworthy of the high position which
he asks at the hands of the people, as I know
Mr. Speer to be, then I say, thrice welcome !
political death; I clasp thee to my bosom
as a sweet antidote. And as I sink beneath
the troubled wave of the political ocean. I
sing out, at the top of my voice, with my last
expiring breath. Glory! Hallelujah!! Hur
rah for Billups !!!
In conclusion, I thank you, gentlemen,
most beartity, for the high honor which you
confer on me in this matter.
I remain, at present, your affectionate dead
brother, J. M. Potts.

Crops are far better than was expected,
though they are short. Almost every farmer
reports a tolerably fair corn crop. Cotton is
not an average crop by any means, though
it is better than farmers hoped for. Every

We hope that it will be so.

Fxtra lo Hrilarial Infection.
Persons whose blood is thin, digestion weak rfnd
liver sluggish, an. extra-liable to the attacks <yf
malarial disease. The most trifling exposure may.
under such conditions, infect a system which, ‘if
| healthy, would resist the miasmatic taint. The
i only way to secure immunity ffom malaria in lo
i caiitics where it is prevalent.- is to tone and regu
i l*t* the system by improving weakened digestion,
[ enriching the blood, and giving a wholesome im-
I petus to biliary secretion. These results are
j complishcd by nothing so effectively as llostetter’a
Stomach Bitters, which long experience has proved
to be the most reliable Safeguard against fever and
ague and kindred disorder*, ns well as the btwt
remedy for them. The Bitters are. moreover, art
excellent invignrant of the organs of urination,
and an active depurent, eliminating from the blood
thwse acrid impurities Which originate rheumatic
ailments.-
