CARLTON ELECTED
UNANIMOUS NOMINATION OF
CLARKE’S PROTEGE.
THE ATHENS CONVENTION ON THE FIRST
BALLOT SETTLES THE QUEBTION
SO LONG IN ABEYANCE.
Pursuant to a call of the Democratic
Executive Committee of the Eighth Con
gressional district; the delegates met at
Deupree Hall at 12 o’clock on July 20.
for the purpose of nominating a candi
date for Congress.
The personnel of the convention was
striking. On the Reese side the old war
horses, silver haired or bald, were array
ed, while the ranks of the Carlton men
were made up almost wholly of the young
Democracy. Wootten, Yanduzer, Swift
and others of the prominent participants
were plain farmer boys. The temporary
chairmain was not over twenty-five, we
think and the secretary was not more
than twenty-two. In no other body have
we seen such a preponderance of young
men. Carlton seems to have literally
captured this class, and their active en
trance into the affairs of the State is sure
to prove a blessing to Georgia.
Field jtfarshal Calvin George, of Mor
gan, handled.his forces with consummate
skill and dash. His men were many of
them but raw recrnits, but he kept them
well in hand when he was not hurling
them at the Reese opposition. He was
the Carlton leader in the conventon.
A motion was put by the chairman,
which received a second, that the nom
ination for the respective candidates be
made by the old basis of representation,
which was two votes for the small and
four for the large counties.
On motion of S. C. Dobbs, of Clarke,
Mr. Wootten, of Wilkes, was made tem
porary chairman and I. G. Swift secre
tary.
Mr. J. H. Rucker, of Clarke, moved a
committee on credentials be appointed by
the chair, one from each county. The
chairman appointed a credential com
mittee, which retired.
The rules governing the lower branch
of the general assembly were adopted.
The convention adjourned until three
o’clock to give the committee on creden
tials time to report.
AFTERNOON SESSION.
The convention was called to order
by the chairman, Mr. Wootten.
The roll of the convention was called
and all the delegates answered with a
clear and lusty voice.
The committee on credentials made
their report. The Carlton delegation
from Oglethorpe were given seats.
THE NOMINATION.
Mr. Yanduzer, of nart, arose in a very
dignified manner and placed in nomina
tion the name of Capt. H. H. Carlton, of
Clarke.
Said Mr. Vanduzer, “Capt. Carlton
lias made the most brilliant campaign on
record. He has stood by the South in
war and he would stand by her in the
halls of Congress.’’
Mr. Andrew Cobb, of Athens, seconded
the nomination of Captain Carlton, and
said that the Democracy of Clarke had
raised him, and the Democracy knew
him. He had been tried and not found
wanting both in the field and the forum.
Captain Carlton’s record was without a
blemish; that we have tried him in the
house of representatives and in the sen
ate of Georgia and are willing to try him
in the halls of the national legislature.
He has proved true in the past, and no
one can say that Capt. H. 11. Carlton,
the standard bearer of the Bth Congres
sional district will not prove true. [Tre
mendous applause.]
Col. n. T. Lewis, of Greene, presented
the name of Seaborn Reese as a distin
guished citizen. He said he was not in
the habit of eulogizing, but his speech
was well-timed and well received.
Mr. Wingfield, of Putnam, seconded
the nomination of Mr. Reese, and stated
that Putnam county would cast her vote
for the present incumbent. After the
nomination was over the call of the coun
ties was had, and as Col. I. G. Swift, the
Secretary, called out the counties in his
clear voice they answered as follows:
Clarke—Votes two for her favorite son.
Elbert—Two for the man of her choice.
Hart—Takes two for Dr. Carlton.
Franklin—Modestly, two for Carlton.
Greene—Four for Reese.
Hancock —Four for Reese.
Madison—Two for the gallant Captain
of the Troupe Artillery.
Morgan—Two for Carlton.
Oconee—Two for Carlton, said the
deep bass voice of Earl Overby.
Oglethorpe—Four for Carlton.
Putnam—Four for Reese.
Wilkes—Four for the man who captur
ed her, said the noble Jim Jackson.
This ended the great campaign in the
Bth district. Carlton received 22 votes
and Reese 12.
When the result was made known the
pent up feelings found vent in a cheer
that awakened the denizens of Broad
street from their summer sleep.
Mr. Jordan moved to make the nomi
nation unanimous, and amid cheers Capt.
H. H. Carlton was made the choice of
the convention unanimously.
After Captain Carlton was nominated
a motion was made and unanimously car
ried that he be invited to adttFess the
.convention before its adjoumment. A
committee of three was appointed to es
cort him to the hall, and he entered amid
a perfect storm of applause. Captain
Carlton made a stirring address, during
which he said: “It is impossible for me
to say that I will make you a good rep
resentative, but after having tried, if I
fail I will give the trust into the hands
of those who gave it to me, in order
that the robe may be placed on some
more fit citizen.” He closed by invoking
Divine assistance in discharging the du
ties of the office as a good and true Dem
ocrat should.
Press Comment.
[Washington Chronicle.]
The people of Wilkes county met to
gether on Saturday to name their choice
for a Congressional candidate, and select
ed Dr. Carlton by a handsome majority.
His campaign lias been a most remarka
ble one, and shows tiie possession of
wonderful tact and great personal popu
larity. An entire stranger to our people,
he captured them as fast as he met them,
and left active friends behind him wher
ever he went.

THE NOMINEE.
gantt’s glowing panegyric of the
eighth’s statesman.
In all the annals of State politics there
is not a parallel to the contest in the
Eighth Congressional district. Congress
man Reese, backed with an almost in
vincible record of political success, and
the hearty support of a shrewd and pow
erful political syndicate, formed a power
before which it was well known some of
the best men in the State had already
been compelled to bow. Our fellow
townsman, with a short but brilliant rec
ord, replete with honesty and devotion
to his people, entered the race with a
nerve that never trembled and an ener
gy that knew no relaxation. To the peo
ple he appealed direct, and the people,
whose great heart throbs for great and
good government, answered the appeal
and baptized with success the nobly cher
ished ambitiou of their son. From glen
and dale, from mountain and meadow,
the sturdy farmers came, and after lis
tening to the eloquence of our fellow-cit
izen laid their heartfelt-offerings in the
ballot box. The merchant and clerk,
the lawyer ’and mechanic vied with the
honest farmer in paying tribute to honest
record replete with honest ambition, and
thus, in a three week’s campaign, |tlie po
litical annals of Geoi’gia are made illus
trious byithe grandeur of the purest suc
cess.
It will be well if the politicians of Geor
gia take this lesson to heart and find in it
the only true and lasting elements of suc
cess. The business men and farmers of
Georgia hold in their hands the destiny
of the State. The rigid business meth
ods of the one class united with the well
known conservatism of the other, form a
happy combination, and is the surest
guarantee of our liberties. Long and
wisely may they live and rule.
To the people of the Eighth Congres
sional district we lift our hat and say
that in honoring Clarke’s distinguished
and gifted son you have honored your
selves. As only a pure record and meri
torious ability were presented for your
consideration, so your own action was
born in purity and lives to illustrate your
character. Today Clarke county gives
you and your representatives greeting,
and, joining hands with you, looks con
fidently to the future which seems hal
lowed now by a halo of friendship which
promises to be life long in its duration.
[Madisonian.]
A Brilliant Victory.
The action of Wilkes county Saturday
in sending Carlton delegates defeated
Congressman Reese, and when this was
accompanied by Elbert and Franklin, the
defeat was made irreparable. The last
two counties had been conceded to Dr.
Carlton, but the result in Wilkes was a
gres' surprise to the friends of Mr. Reese,
and a Correspondingly brilliant victory for
Dr. Carlton.
Greene Gets a Congressman.

MRS. W. A. KIMBROUGH.
DEATH OF A PURE WOMAN AND NOBLE
CHRISTIAN EXEMPLAR.
On Wednesday last, the 21st of July,
Mrs. Emma Kimbrough, wife of our es
teemed fellow citizen, Mr. W. A. Kim
brough, passed away. Mrs. K. was a
native of Edgefield, S. C., but on the
fourth of July, 1875, married Mr. Kim
brough and became a permanent resident
of this place. In early life she became a
consistent and devoted member of the
Episcopal church, and was highly es
teemed in all the relations and walks of
life. In addition to her husband, she
leaves behind a little daughter, two little
sons, a mother and two sisters to mourn
her death. Her mother was with her at
the closing scene.
Mrs. Kimbrough had for some time
been in feeble and failing health, but
comparatively few of her relatives and
friends can realize that they will in life
never more look upon her cheerful face
or hear her pleasant voice. With supe
rior mental endowments and liberal
scholastic and literary culture, added to
those feminine accomplishments which
lend a charm to domestic and social life,
it is not strange that her removal, by
death, thus early in life, should be sin
cerely mourned by our entire communi
ty, but more especialy by the church
and Sunday school, in which, when
health permitted, she was a faithful
worker. Nor did she labor in vain.
The God whom she loved and served in
life was conspicuously with her in death.
Rarely has the writer seen a more calm
and peaceful demise. A few hours be
fore her departure she joined in the pray
er for the “very sick;” asked for the
reading of Gods’ Word, and the singing
of the beautiful song, “Across the River.”
Born and reared in affluence, Mrs. Kim
brough, like thousands of heroic South
ern women after the reverses of the war,
nobly grappled with adverse circum
stances, and with loving heart an'd dili
gent band, gracefully fulfilled her pious
mission as daughter, wife and mother.
She now “across the river” sweetly rests
from her labors. May God comfort and
care for the bereaved survivors.
The Narrow Gauge Accident.
Among the passengers injured by the
accident on the A., G. & S. Railroad a
few days ago were Misses Frances and
Adele Adkins, daughters of Mr. and Mrs.
A. J. Adkins, of Augusta. Their wounds,
we rejoice to learn, were slight, though
eainful. These young ladies are well
nown in Warrenton, Thomson and all
along the Georgia road, and were on a
visit to relatives on the narrow gauge. It
will gratify hosts of their friends and ad
mirers to learn of their providential
escape from a horrible fate, and the wri
ter, who knows and loves them, congrat
ulates themselves and their esteemed
parents.
Madison Hotel.
Tliis popular house, conducted by that
enterprising and clever gentleman, Mr. J
W. Bearden, is one of the neatest aiui best
equipped hotels on the Georgia Railroad.
It is convenient to the depot and busi
ness portion of the town, suit is especially
well adapted to the convenience of com
m ercial travellers. The fare is. the best
the market affords. When you visit
Madison stop at this excellent hotel.

ANOTHER LETTER FROM THE LOVELY
NACOOCHEE VALLEY,
The arrival of the Williams’ from
Charleston, and other people from differ
ent parts of the South, is giving a more
animated aspect to this usually quiet
valley. Messrs. George W. Williams,
senior and junior, and their families and
guests, certainly add an enlivening and
attractive feature to summer life in this
lovely retreat.
There are ordinarily but two religious
services held here in a month—one by
the Rev. Mr. Stevens, of Athens, at the
handsome little Presbyterian church, and
the other by Rev. Mr. Edwards, of the
Clarksville circuit, in the spacious Meth
odist house of worship. When unoccu
pied by the regular pastors, the pulpits
of both these churches are courteously
tendered to visiting ministers of otlier
denominations. There are several Epis
copalians in the valley, and, added to
summer visitors of that denomination,
they are able to enjoy an occasional ser
vice of that church by some visiting cler
gyman of that denomination.
Some three veai-s ago the writer, on
the courteous invitation of his old friend,
Captain Nichols, held a full Episcopal
service in the Presbyterian church, near
his hospitable and beautiful villa, and
baptized two infants. This, 1 think, is
the first service of the kind ever held in
Nacoochec. And here I take occasion to
say that Captain Nichols is not only in
social life one of nature’s noblemen, but
an untiring worker in his Master’s vine
yard. No one can estimate the value of
the life and labors of one such devoted
man. Long may he live!
There were Episcopal services held at
the Methodist church last Sunday morn
ing by the writer, and at nightan earnest
and practical discourse was delivered by
Rev. Mr. Withers, of the Methodist
church. At both hours the congelations
were large and attentive. Indeed, there
seems to be a higher appreciation of re
ligious privileges by people who live off
of railroads.
The attention of the people, North and
South, should be directed to this section
of Georgia, as not only abounding in
mineral wealth, but as a health-restoring
retreat from the malarial regions of the
Southern low-lands and the intensely
cold winters of the North. Instead of
going to a warm and debilitating climate,
the consumptive in the first symptoms
of his disease will find in the pure air
and water of this Alpine region immedi
ate relief and in most cases perfect cure.
In proof of this we quote the following
from a writer in the Atlauta Constitution
of last week in regard to the climate of
the Tallulah region and this section:
“‘Fifty years ago,’ said a venerable
looking old lady, who stood gazing at
Tempesta, ‘my husband, to whom I had
been married but one rear, was dying
with consumption. He went to Florida,
and then to Cuba, finally returning home
to die. Asa last effort he insisted on
coniiug up here. It was a wild and ro
mantiu ride. The fresh air revived him.
The pure water nurtured him. He grew
better ami resolved to remain iu this
neighlmrhood. He still lives, and no
one can convince him that North Geor
gia is not tiie most healthy couutry in
Hie world.’
“ 'At tills point the hopeless Invalid of
fifty years ago came up and gave evidence
by his heartiness that he would wage
| battle with death for years to oomii * M

SHARP PROTEST.
WOODVILLE PROMPTLY REBUKES HER
WOULD-BE SLANDERERS. .
We, the undersigned citizens of Wood
ville, in meeting assembled on Monday
night, 19th insL, feeling ourselves great
ly aggrieved by certain gross misrepre
sentations that appeared in the Atlanta
Constitution of July 16 and 17, in order
to repel the unfair and the unjust insinu
uation upon our characters, do hereby
submit to the public the following suc
cinct statement of facts:
1. Under the caption of “Queer Makers
Caught,” etc., it is stated in the Consti
tution of the 16th in substance that on a
business trip to Union Point and Wood
ville Deputy Collector Smith had certain
spurious coins passed on him at one or
the other of these places, etc.
In reply to this we assert that Deputy
Collector Smith never has stopped at
Woodvllle on any business.
2. The article further states as a fact
that Deputy Collector Fite had several
pieces of spurious coin passed upon him
at Woodville and that “the whole town
looked like it was flooded with the stuff.”
In reply to these charges we assert pos
itively and emphatically that Deputy
Collector Fite did not have any counterfeit
coin passed on him at Woodville. Mr.
Fite spent not exceeding one hour and a
half in our village—making it impossible
for him to form a correct opinion as to
the amount of coin in circulation here,
or the character thereof. The amount of
spurious coin obtained by said collector
here was 05 cents—which was given, vol
untarily given, to him by Messrs. Davi
son Bros.—being all they had.
As to the sensational story of “the
town being flooded with the stuff,” we
submit the following facts: Deputy Col
lector Fite obtained 95 cents from Dav
ison Brothers; Deputy Marshal Haynes
obtained 30 cents from McWhorter & Cos.,
and 25 cents from Mrs. Callahan; Deputy
Marshal Murphy obtained #1.75 from W.
J. Durham—making a total of $3.25.
being the whole amount with which
the town was “flooded!” This money
was voluntarily and cheerfully given to
these officers by our merchants and cit
izens for the purpose of assisting them
in stopping its circulation and bringing
the guilty parties to justice.
3. In the issue of the 17th of the same
paper we find but one statement pertain
ing to our town, and we therefore confine
our answer to that “fact.” The report
er’s language is: “Mrs. Callahan had
several dollars of counterfeit coin, and
sbo could not tell where she got it.” The
truth is, Mrs. Callahan never had but 25
cents of spurious coin, and this as before
stated was turned over to the officers.
In niakincr tin* fnraiminor nlnin stato.
In making the foregoing plain state
ment of facts we wisli it distinctly
understood that we acted solely by the
desire to place our people right before
the public and to repel the untruthful
insinuations against their character and
honor. The plain inference to be drawn
from the articles reviewed is that our
section is deluged with counterfeit mon
ey, and that our people were handling
it willingly and cheerfully without ob
jection or protest. This is a slander
upon our sense of honor and respect for
law which every manly instinct demands
should be indignantly repelled.
Feeling thus, and actuated by such mo
tives, we give the foregoing statement to
the public, and fain would hope ever to
be found on the side of right—as ready
and willing to correct an evil as to re
buke a wrong.

Preamble and resolutions relative to
the death of Miss Annie Champion by the
Pcnfleld Sabbath school:
Whereas, God in Ilis inscrutable wis
dom has judged it right to remove by
death our beloved friend and coworker,
sister Annie Champion, therefore, be it
Resulted, That in this sad dispensation
we, as a school, sustain a loss that we
deem irreparable, for it can be truly said
of her, she was ever prompt in the per
formance of duty, and always evinced a
strong devotion to the cause of her Mas
ter.
Resolved, That while we deeply mourn
our loss and our hearts know naught but
sadness when we realize that she will no
more meet with us here, still if we adopt
the crucible test of “by their fruits shall
ye know them,” we are persuaded that
she has been called up higher to receive
the reward of the “pure in heart,” there
to join the happy chorus in singing
praises to God and the Lamb forever.
Resolved, That to the bereaved family
we tender our heartfelt sympathy, and
would mingle our grief with theirs, for it
is indeed a bitter cup, but we trust that
we recognize the hand of a loving Father
that offers it, and we pray for that grace
which will enable us to drink it submis
sively. “The cup which my Father hath
given me shall I not drink it ?”
Resolved, That we, each of us, may
heed the admonition of “be ye also
ready.” May we emulate her virtues and
at last join her in the great Sabbath
school above.
Resolved, That a oopy of the above be
furnished the bereaved family. We also
request its publication in the county
papers.

zen of our vicinity, but now living about
7 miles from this place on the Woodstock
road, was stricken with paralysis and is
lying very low at this writing (Monday.)
The people of this place have nev
er listened to more earnest and effective
sermons than the three preached by Rev.
J. F. Edens here last Saturday, Sunday
and Sunday night. On Sunday, although
the seating capacity of the church is
about 350, it was completely crowded,
aud such order was preserved that a pin
might have been heard to fall on the floor
at any time during the sermon, each one
endeavoring to catch every word that
fell from the preacher’s earnest lips.
The citizens of Woodville held a
meeting at the Academy last Monday
night to correct misstatements published
in the Atlanta Constitution of the ltith
and 17th with regard to counterfeit coin,
and to set themselves right before the
people of the county. The proceedings of
the meeting will appear in your paper
this week, and we hope all will read care
fully and digest the facts.
