GEORGIA HOME JOURNAL. W. ADDISON KNOWLES. Frop’r. VOLUME XIV-NUMBER 38 WEDNESDAY NEXT THE STATE ELECTION WILL BE HELD ON THAT DAY. A GOVERNOR, STATE HOUSE OFFICERS, SENATORS AND MEMBERS OF THE LOWER HOUSE TO ELECT. On Wednesday next, the 6th of Octo ber, the most important of the elections in this State will take place. The following ticket will be voted for in this county, and of course it will be elected: DEMOCRATIC NOMINATIONS. For Governor, JOHN B. GORDON, of DeKalb. For Secretary of State. NATHAN C. BARNETT, of Baldwin. For State Treasurer, R. U. HARDEMAN, of Bibb. For Comptroller General, WILLIAM A. WRIGHT, of Richmond. For Attorney General, CLIFFORD ANDERSON, of Bibb. For State Senator—l9th Dist. M. W. LEWIS, of Greene. For Representatives for Greene county, WILLIAM E. ADAMS WILLIAM. H. STOVALL. The above is the official form of tick et prescribed by the Constitution of Georgia. This ticket will be voted on a single ballot. We have recently had something to say as to the obstructive tendencies of excessive election excitements when brought face to face with the business interests of communities. Of course, we have always advocated a full and patri otic participation in the exercise of the ballot, while we have for good reasons regretted that the elections were not concentrated into narrower or fewer oc casions. That this county should have recently at a public election deposited a Democratic vote of 949 out of an of ficial poll of 964, is to be commended; and we shall perhaps often revert to the incident while claiming for our county a just and keen perception of the inalien able and inextinguishable glory of the ballot. We shall seek here and always to impress upon our friends the duty of voting whenever that duty devolves upon them, howevermuch we might for some reasons deprecate the frequency of the demand upon their time and service. At no previous election, perhaps, and especially in a certain class of counties of which this is one, has a full Democratic vote been more imperatively necessary than will be that of next Wednesday. It is needless to attempt to conceal this need. Greene will always suffer from dis composing and menacing political in fluences until the Democratic power of the county shall rise finally and effectual ly as one man and utterly crush out by the exhibition of insurmountable will and strength the puerile opposition that hedges about the affairs of our communities and threatens political dis may to their prosperity and advance ment. So long as certain of our citizens har vest the wealth, conduct the business, construct the improvements, pay for the education and defray the taxes of a hamlet, a town, a county, a State, the destiny of that political integrant must remain subject to their will and control under modern forms of equity—unless torn, from them by violence or forfeited by their own supineness, The Democra cy of Greene (organized and unorganized) own 99i-100ths of real and personal prop erty, and they must rally to the bal lot box on Wednesday next to see that no ill befall the men of their choice who are to intelligently represent this vast and overshadowing propor tion of interest in the ensuing session of the State Legislature. Let the ticket from first to last receive such an over whelming support from the people of this county that future dissentients and disaffectionists from whatever cause will pause long before venturing to set them selves or others up for political slaughter. Let, therefore, every Democrat put into the box on Wednesday next a ballot similar in all respects to the sample here printed, and let no supposed drawback or discomfort entail upon him failure in this duty. Every man who votes next Wednesday must show his clean tax receipt and have been registered as a condition precedent. The present Registry law is the veriest piece of obstructive and'nonsensical leg islation in history, but it is a law, all the same; and the people have not gen erally stopped to discuss its fallacies. They have learned never to bite a pill, but nave swallowed it whole and quick ly- So with the Registration law. No man has coolly looked it in the face with out an instant qualm, and a quirk of con science, perhaps; and the oftener he has seen it the more he has puckered his countenance at the dose. Hence, most people have, we hope, manfully “downed the dose” and will thus vote their little vote on Wednesday. We do not presume it to be needful, particulaly in a county like our own, where we have more elections than water melons, to reprint the State laws govern ing elections. These laws are pretty well understood by our people. We sug gest, however, to the managers of elec tion in each district that he be providvd with abstract copies of the election laws so that in matters of dispute, doubt or in quiry he can promptly determine the legal aspect of the controversy.

A WONDROUS REVIVAL OF CONFIDENCE IN EVERY DIRECTION. It is seldom that busy seasons set in with very general forebodings of ill. The reverse has been the experience. A sud den transformation from bad to good is unusual and almost anomalous. And yet it will not be denied that the prospects for the fall lacked inspiration and were wanting in all sorts of confidence only a few months ago, while it is equally true that at this time the promise is better than it has been for several years. Tho unprecedented early winter not only froze up the farmer’s land, but it congeal ed his energies and hopes and killed his early crops. The cotton planting period opened with more doubt than hope, and many timorous agriculturists set to work iu a languid, hopeless vein, expect ing little, and not even expecting that little with much confidence. As the sea son sauntered along, premonitions of dis appointment were projected by uncertain or unauspicious weather. Then sudden ly but briefly the promise brightened, to be dimmed agaiii by elemental gymnas tics. At last the interval arrived when the observant planter is accustomed to predicate the results of his toil. To his own astonishment, the prospect became suddenly pleasing and his spirits rebound ed to a lofty height, where his hopes have since remained. The farmer will do well this fall and winter. So, too, has it been with mercantile pur suits. The signs were not assuring, but they are now bright and buoyant. The business of the fall will probably be im mense all over the country, and its invig orating and tonic pulsation will be felt in every artery far and wide. We expect no limit of local abundance and thrift from these facts. Greene county and Greenesboro have been blest in common with the rest of the country, and must reap their proportion of the re wards and recompenses of hope, faith, energy and pluck. We have just space to recall the “moral” of this lesson. The farmer who bent his best energies for success even when his toil seemed futile, is the man who is going to harvest the benefits now that Ruth has trod his acres, while the desponding, half-and-half hopeful and despairing tiller will alone view the ster ile and unworked fields. The merchant who failed to rehabilitate his stock and fixtures and furbish up the dusty places because he could not foresee that pros perity and trade were on their way to his borders, will perhaps sigh sometimes over old and fashionless wares and di minished supplies. His neighbor, who went industriously to work for all the future might be worth is wearing out his willing shoes dancing about his shelves and counters to serve the endless throng in their new aud never-surfeited demands.

Uncle Plato, have you ever been to Mr. Veazey’s store ? “Yes, sir, boss, l’se been there.” Did you buy any goods ? “Yes siree, I bought these shoes there,” Did you buy anything else ? “Look here boss, I aint got no time to talk with you now, the cotton patch is white and de sun is up yonder, and I ain’t picked a lick, but I will stop long enough to say this: if you want the best brogan shoe for the least money there is the place to get ’em, and if you want to rop up your cotton in 2i bagging, you can get it there too, and they will garnishee full weight. I will get up wid rny cotton picking about next Thursday, and if nothing hap pens, on Friday I will be around to see you, and will then tell you more about the bargains.” Respect Uncle Plato.

A tall, sinewy and dark complexioned white man, in faded blue jeans jacket and pants, made liis appearance in Grcenesboro on Tuesduy without special reference to railroad schedule, and, an nouncing that he was from Charleston, projected a dime begging expedition against our charity-giving citizens.

Smith, Editor Washington Chronicle : Dear Sir—l had hoped to avoid any public notice from me relative to the sus pension of work on the Union Point and White Plains railroad, but as the corre spondents of both the Athens Banner- Watchman and Greenesboro Herald have written articles which are without foun dation, I think it but justice to publish this card. The article referred to in forms the public that “work had been abandoned on account of the inability of Harry Hill to give bond.” I will there fore state briefly the position. Some months ago I visited the village of White Plains for the pnrpose of meeting the citizens there and to propose the Build ing of a railroad connecting them with Union Point by intersecting with the Georgia railroad. I proposed to construct the road 16 1-10 miles long, equip and put in operation by the 2!ld day of November this year, on condition that they (the citizens of White Plains) would raise the sum of SIO,OOO and guarantee the right of way, and if also they would allow me to bond the road for 6,000 per mile; my self to have the entire issue of bonds for the purpose of purchasing material, etc. In consideration of their subscriptions and as a guarantee for the completion of said road within one hundred days from beginning work, I proposed to give them a bond for $15,000, offering as my bonds men Henry Porter, President of the Merchants Bank; A. W. Hill, Vice Presi dent Gate City National Bank; Henry W. Grady, of the Atlanta Constitution. I was ready to offer the bond—and in faith that everything was harmonious I ordered work begun. I had been elected presi dent. On Thursday the 26th day of Sep tember, after about 6 miles of grading had been completed the Directors met at Greenesboro and required the bond to stipulate that no encumbrance should exist against the rolling stock. They were always aware that said rolling stock would be bought on time and the bonds of the U. P. and W. P. R. R. given as col lateral security in payment therefor. On this question'we disagreed, and I ordered the contractors to suspend. This pre sents the situation; and my reason for writing you, first,larises from a desire to present myself aright, first with my own home people of Wilkes, and then your cordial concern in all matters pertaining to mylpersonal and public interest. These are reasons which induce this letter. Very truly, Harry Hill. Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 27, 1886. UNION *POINT. .... Maj. J. B.

Miss Helen Boyd, of Xenia, Ohio, who has been spending some time at the Ter races the guest of Mrs. Hart, left for Athens Saturday to attend the Lucy Cobb Institute. The Friday Night Club held the first dance of the season at the Terraces Friday night. All those who were pres ent pronounce it a very enjoyable occa sion.

From all parts of Greene and adjacent counties tidings of effective religious work reaeli us. Greene county has not in any previous time been so generally awakened, and the influences are likely to be enduring. At White Plains the religious awaken ing has been apparently permanent, and the benefits of Rev. H. M. Quillian’s la bors at that point will be lasting. At Union Point a practical result of the spirited and persistent work of Revs. W. T. Caldwell and C. A. Conaway and assistants has been the assurance of a new and handsome Methodist structure, the former building having been already demolished. At Crawfordville, according to a short message from Rev. C. A. Conaway, there is a fine prospect for a great revival. The protracted services now being held there by himself and Rev. Mr. Caldwell are thronged daily and nightly. At Greenesboro, where perhaps, great er labor than elsewhere is needed, a se ries of revival meetings will begin in the Methodist church next Sunday. Altogether the religious outlook for the seasou is the finest on record in this vicinity. Rev. Mr. Quillian writes as follows: There will he religious service at Has tings church next Saturday, Oct 2. A full attendance of the church is desired, that the need of anew parsonage at White Plains he considered. Also, our, fourth quarterly meeting which was postponed last Saturday on account of the sickness of the Presiding Elder, will be held at White Plains, Saturday, October 9 and 10. The business of the quarterly con ference on Saturday demands the attend ance of every member. WOODVILLE, ....

It now numbers one hundred and two pupils, and a growing interest is manifested. ....A mad dog passed through our village last Tuesday, creating quite a sensation, though doing no damage ex cept biting two other dogs. It was fol lowed to Union Point and there killed. ....It was our pleasure to listen to three as good sermons as ever fell from the lips of man by Rev. J. F. Eden here last third Sunday and Saturday before. Although the church was full we wish there could have been more there to listen to the pastor’s earnest words. Mr. J. n.

We call attention to the advertisement of the well known old reliable house of Chamberlin, Johnson & Cos., the impor ters. But for this live firm looking to the interest of their trade, which is scat tered all over the South, Atlanta would not to-day be a port of entry. They have worked hard and faithfully in this enter prise, and now the people are reaping the benefits. They import goods in im mense quantities and deal directly with foreign factories, paying the duties on foreign merchandise to the Collector in Atlanta. This places them far in ad vance of Southern competition and on an equal footing with any Northern house.
