How Watches are Made.
It will l>e apparent to any one. who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for en
graving and polishing, a large proportion of
tlie precious metal used, is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
place, and supply the necessary solidity and
strength. The surplus gold is actually need
less so far as utility ah l beautv are con
cerned. IX JAMES BOSS’ PATENT
GCLD W ATCII CASES, this waste of pre
cious metal is overcome, an l the same sd
j.idity and strength produced at from one
third to -one half of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is of the most sing Ic
luttrtVe. as follows : a plate of nickle compo
sition metal, especially adapted to the pur
pose, has two plates of solid gold soldered
one on each side. The three are then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the re
sult is a strip of heavy plated composition,
from which the cases, backs, centres, bevels.
&C.. are t ut and -haped by suitable lies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sttlli
eiently thick to admit of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and enamelling; the engraved
oases have been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without removing
tiu,- gold.
THIS IS THE ONLY CASK MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER
TIFICATE.

TUSH OUT, WEN, TURN OUT!
Let Ail the People Speak I
Let all five friends of Governor Colquitt
be at the polls next Wednesday, the Gth of
October. Let them be there, nJt only to
vote, but to work ami secure, if possible,
every vote in the county in support of the
man who has proven himself eminently the
fiiend of the people. There is no doubt of
his elect ion, and we are not asking you to
turn out to secure that, but wo want a uni
versal expression from the voters of Georgia ;
we wish to see the question settled, whether
the people of Georgia shall rule our great
State or whether a lew ambitious politicians
and discontented office seekers shall change
our administration of affairs whenever they
choose. Tliis issue has certainly been clear
ly made. The people said, and in no un
certain sound, that they wished the contin
uance of Governor Colquitt in office: the
malcontent politicians said he must be put
out; that lie should he put out. They said
they had the till lent, and they meant to dic
tate whom the people should have ; so we beg
now that the citizens of old Jackson speak
again in the one certain sound, and let these
gentlemen know whether they or the people
shall choose the officers in Georgia.
Fellow-citizens, it is becoming too com
mon for a few men to get together and say'
“ you may have this office tliis time and I
will take that, but next time f must have
this and you or your friend may take that,”
and the people are not in the least consulted
as to their wishes.
I am in favor of organization ; no efficient
work can be done without it. I believe ns
strongly in organization as any free and
honest Democrat in the State should believe,
but I do not believe in a few selfish men forc
ing rne and other Democrats to put them
in office, or they will break up the party.
Mv allegiance to my State and to my pen
pie is far above rny allegiance to any party,
unless their* interests are the same: and it :s
just such work as the factious minority is
now doing as will soon destroy all allegiance
to any party. Such men care not! ing for
you or me, the Democrat ic party or the St a e
of Georgia. They are for self and selfalom .
VVe can owe no allegiance to such miser
able factions. Let us cling to our Skate ; to
the best man for Governor in the State ; the
man who has proven himself capable, faith
ful and true ; and let us cling to the Demo
cratic party so long as it is not controlled by
such factions as the minority'. In fact, let
us save the party and keep it out of the
hands of such factions, and let us express
our condemnation of them most overwhelm
ingly and by a unanimous vote.
e have great respect for such men as
Jn Ige Warner, whose speech was given, us
last week : but when lie lends himself to po
litical factions and self-seekers; when he
proposes to give us iaets .and only <_ r ives the
halt or a past of each fact; when lie quotes
only so much of the Constitution or law as
suits his partisan views and. arguments and
withholds portions, as we can see by refer
ing to the Constitution and laws; when lie
holds in opposition to previous decisions and
tries to make an ex post facto law appear
Constitutional ; when ho, in fact, proposes
to give a fair and candid discussion, but re
sorts to ail the partisan arguments and polit
ical tricks which are generally used to carry
a point, whether right or wrong, we must re
tire our reverence and judge him as we do
every other party man who has a selfish end
to attain. So, follow-citizens, lav aside his
speech as a miserable piece of sophistry ; a;
a partisan effort to deceive and mislead yon.
i mention only one of ills many efforts to de
ceive us. Tie quotes that part of the Con
stitution which forbids the pledging of tin
credit, of the Slate to any individual, compa
ny. tfco.. but he says not one- word, and quoit s
not one word from the Constitution or law
about-exeeptions or vested rights, when the
Constitution is just as positive in the latter
as on the former. Such partisan garbling
may deceive, a school-boy, but it cannot
mislead reading, men. This is enough. If
he would mislead us in one instance he*
would in all. Gov. Colquitt was supported
in all his acts by some of the best legal tal
ent. in the State ; by lawyers who know the
law and Constitution as well as Jud<m War
ner.
But enough. Fellow-citizens, let 11s place
our positive condemnation on all such par
tisan efforts, and all men who lend their in
fluence to such doings. Turn out and vote
solidly lor the man who has proven himself
worthy- of onr confidence; who iias risen
above every charge, anil who stands clear
and sustained after the most sifting investi
gation to which a public official was ever sub
jected. J. \V. G.
I he following “ Walker county sensation”
is related in the Chattanooga Times: “The
upper portion of McLemore’s Cove, in Wal
ker county, Georgia, has recently been the
scene of a matrimonial sensation which ri
vals anything of the kind ever before known
among that steady-going, law-abiding and
God-serving people. The circumstances of
the affair, as gathered fiom citizens of the
Cove, are substantially as follows: ‘Less
than a year ago. two well-to-do young far
mers, Robert Woo Is and Joseph Colquitt,
each took himseil'a wife, and to all appear
ances wore happy' in their respective alli
ances. The young ladies chosen by the two
farmers were of respectable parentage, and
each bore a good eharae'er as well as a rep
utation !or intelligence and a proper qualifi
cation for all the duties in their sphere of
life. Ail went happy v>. iLli the two young
couples until one night last week, when they
met at a neighbor’s house, where they had
been bidden to a frolic or party. Here the
conversation turned on married life, and the
respective merits of their wives were freely
discussed by the young husbands. In this
conversation \\ oods confessed a fondness for
Colquitt,’s wife, and Colquitt acknowledged a
preference for Mr. Moods. This resulted in
a proposition and mutual bargain between
the Ims lands to change wives on the spot.
The women were at, once informed of the
trade, an.i Mrs. Colquitt heartily asquieseed
in the s.vap. resigning herself cheerfully to
the care and caresses of Woods. Not so.
however, Mrs. Woods, who indignantly,
refused the proffered caresses of Colquitt,
and. when violence would have been used to
compel! her acquiescence, fled to her friends
and reported the outrageous proceeding.
Mrs. Woods’ father took her under his pro
tection. and invoked the law to bring the err
ing husbands tojustLe. but Ku Kdux inter
vened. and the wife trade: s fled the country.”
Vi 0 regret to learn that Mr. Hawthorne's
gin bowse, in the lower part of the county,
was burned last Saturday night, lie had been
ginning until a late hour and went homo and
in a few minutes discovered a light, and re

supposed to have been accidental. N ; ght
