THE EASTMAN TIMES. R. S. BURTON, - - Editor ornoi tr, oi o s or Dodge, Appling and Montgomery, THUBSDAY JUNE 4, 1874. To the Democratic Executive Com mittee of Georgia Macon, Ge. f May 18th, 1874. Desiring, above all things, unity of action by the Democrats of Georgia in our approaching elections, and knowing the great importance of har mony in our ranks, ] have determined, with a view io the >e desirable.ends, to call together the Executive Committee of the party on the first Wednesday in duly, iu Atlanta, for consultation.— Until then, it is desired that no action looking to nomination of candidates wdi be taken by the party. Gentle men of the Convention, the interest of the people demand your attention. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., Chairman Dem. Ex. Com Under the recent ruling of the G. P. A., we dislike to clip anything from a paper which is not a “patent outside,” but the following from the Thomasville Times is too good to pass by : “It is said that the passage of the Civil Rights Rill will put a stop to the career of Tump Ponder’s mule. Here after if he docs not reach out his left hind foot, wc b lieve that is his pre mium leg, for a pale skin alternately with every cohered brother whom he may tickle, why the United States is certain to have him arrested for mak ing a distinction on account of race, color, and previous condition. Apropos of our editorial of last week, on Patent Outsides, and the mission of journalism, comes the fol lowing well-timed remarks from tie Atlanta Herald, that popular inde pendent journal, noted now as ever for the level headed way in which it looks at things, and the fearless inde pendence with which it speaks its mind upon all the questions of the day, popular or unpopular : The Georgia Press Association. The Georgia Press Association seems to have got itself into warm— if not muddy— water. Its last session was little more than a wrangle all the way through, if we may judge of the reports which come to us. First, there was a bitter debate upon the question of patent outsides, which warmed everybody up, and resulted in the re-asserting of a harsh an 1 use less declaration of war against them. Then came the attacking of an edito rial, which the Rev. Mr. Russell, to our mind an inoffensive and harmless man, had published, and in which he animadverted upon the Association. In this bout Gormon, who is usually so sweet of temper, flings off' his gen tle mood and declares that Mr. Rus sell is l en°ath the notice of the Asso ciation. Tln n the grave ind reverend body proceed to fix a stigma upon the Rome Commercial, a paper which at - serts that it does not belong to the Association, and winch had been en gaged in a dispute with the Courier. bo bitter and so deadly that the Asso ciation should have rather counseled peace than have aggravated the fight by offensive allusions to one of the contestants. Now, there is no paper in Georgia more thoroughly inspired with a love and reverence for the profession, or with kindliness to its members than the Herald But as long as the ses sions are nothing but scenes of wrang ling. and scowls sit upon even the most genial brows, we shall prefer to dodge them, and rely, if needs be, nj - on the merciless exchange fiend a party of our casual quilps and jokes. It seems that our views are indorsed by the menders generally, for at the last meeting, out of twelve dailies on ly two—-outside of Macon—were di rectly rcptesenied. and out of about e'ghty weeklies, only about twelve had actual delegates on hand. These figures wc believe to be correct. They aic certainly nearly so. Can’t we inaugurate a reform some where ? Isn’t it barely possible that the Association is drifting the wrong way ? Isn’t it becoming a sort of Slur Chamber Court, which members fear and avoid ? Isn’t it dabbling a little too much in the private affairs of its newspapers? Hasn’t it about succeed ed in the past two years in offending some thirty good journalists, disgust ing some half dozen and boring a ■core ? We put these questions kindly and anxiously, lor we are loth to forego forever the jolly times we have had at these Conventions. Can’t we lib eralize a little and relax, so at the next meeting at Athens, a city famous of hospitality, may be a reunion of all the men who handle a quill in the whole of this Empire State. We should be glad to see the offended brothers soothed, the patent outside men called to a confluence, and cveiy body made glad that the reign of harshness and proscription is ended, and the dawn of kindness and sympa thy is streaking the sky. Then all of us w'dl shake the ex anqrc fiend, and gather round the punch bowl with full hearts, : n ’ sing i.e sonof joy. What say you brethren to calling a Convention of the indejx’nth'nf papers of the State ? Written for the Eastman Times] RALPH ESTELLE, ; A ROMANCE OF THE LATE WAR. CHAPTER IV. Ralph continued fo improve in strength, under such lavorable cir cumstances, and just four weeks had elapsed since the conversation be tween himself and Nannie had taken place, when one evening, as Mr. Lee returned from Gatewood, he went at once into the room occupied by Ralph, presenting him with a long official en velope, the contents of which proved to he a commission, a captaincy from the war department, for gallant and ra ritorious conduct, and ordering him when able for duty, to icport to Gen. Bragg’s Headquarters. When he had finished reading for the third time, seeming thatjhe could scarcely realize his good fortune, and was about fold ing it, Nannie came In the room saying, “Ralph, I am going to school to-morrow, provided you will promise rue to remain in doors and not expose yourself too much, and not take an undue amount of exercise.” “I am glad that you are Nannie—if you w ill allow me thus to address you—and. indeed, you have been too kind to me, you have neglected your studies a long time for me, and as 1 once said to you before, I cannot employ any words to express my feelings, a life long gratitude will be your only re ward, unless you can consistently ac cept a love, an affection, such as is r .rely ever bestowed, and in that case, you will know how much 1— love you—l am going away day after to-morrow—am going back to the army, and I shall carry with me recol lections of you, so indellibly stamped upon .memory’s tablet, that nothing short of deat i can ever alter or change, and now, as wo are alone, I ask you to tell me your feelings ami what I may expect.” “I am very sor ry to know that you are going away, and I shall remonstrate with all the influence which I can bring to bear, you are not yet able for duty, and i will not consent for you to go so soon. \ oil talk about gratitude and of being incapacitated to express it, and now’ I can suggest a method by which you could do so, and that will be to prom ise me not go so soon. In regard to the feeling which you profess for me, 1 take it as a great compliment, in deed, I feel much flattered, and at the same time, 1 believe you are sincere, and that the warmest throbbings of you heart, pulsate for me, and I am forced to the belief that I love you, and that a realization of the bright hope, that we may at some time have our vow’s consummated, is essential to my happiness, nay, I might say, my existence, but other arrangements have been made, and an unchangable contract has been entered into from which I cannot be released, and I beg of you, Ralph, appeal to you in the name of Goo, and the love you have for me, not to mention this subject again, or even allude to it any way. That I love you, love you w T ith a fer vor, a consuming adoration, is bi*yond a doubt, but I can never marry you and for reas >ns which appear as barriers that cannot be removed. I won and not have you to ask me to at tempt an explanation of the seeming mystery, for I could not enlighten you without first perjuring myselt, and compromising the honor of parties of whom you now think well, and be sides, any and all efforts on your part or mine, to change the order of affairs would result in a miserable failure. It costs me, Ralph, an anguish which no heart but mine has ever felt, to tell you this, and now as I must go, my last entreaty' will be to maintain si lence, and to forgive and forget me"— whereupon she left the room without giving Ralph an opportunity to make any comment. Ralph was reclinii ing upon a sofa during the time Nannie was making all these c< nfessions, gazing at her in mute astonishment, and for a long time, he could not real ize wlnit had taken place ; however, at last, the sad conviction crowded itself upon him, and he determined up on leaving the house the next morning and sought an opportunity to see Nan nie, that he might bid her iarewell, but she availed the meeting, seening to dread another interview, and Ralph lailed to ever see her except at a dis tance. After some deliberation and ma ny a heavily drawn sigh he sent for Mr Leo, and upon making his appearance Ralph told him that he desired to re turn to the army next morning, and alter thanking him in a confused man ner, for the hospitality received at the. hands of him and his, he requested that Mr. Lee would carry him into G itewood next morning. After some hesitation and a slight remonstrance, on the part of Mr. Lee, it was agreed that Ralph could go, and a few com m >n topics were discussed for a time, when Mr. Lee lift him alone. No soon er had lie done so,> when Ralph wrote Nannie as follows : “My Dearest Nannie.— l cannot leave here without first saying to you what I may never have au opportuni ty to say again, and for reasons known only to yourself, you have avadeu me, and as I leave to-morrow, this is t ie only opprtunity I have at my com mand. I w’rite to say farewell, and to thank you for }*our kindness to me, begging at the sarns time your for giveness for not complying with your request to remain longer. If you knew my heart anguish, and how much that anguish becomes intensi fied each moment of my stay here, you would at least acquit me of the charge of being ungrateful, I cannot reproach you in your action iu this matter, not knowing the causes, but I vill sav that the mystery involved in your re fusal to marry me, is beyond all com prehension, and from my standpoint, think you arc acting unwisely, and that you are about taking a step which you will regret all your life. Howev er, it is not lor me to dictate, and now 1 bid you* good bye, assuring you of my life long love and constan ly, sub ject at any and all times to your call. Ralph. When finished, Ralph directed as he would have done any letter, placing it in his pocket, intending, if an oppor tunity offered, to hand it to Nannie next morning at breakfast, and after arranging his few articles of clothing preparatory to his departure, he retir ed ; but the night dragged heavily as he could not sleep, finally, however, morning approached, and he was out on the gallery by sun up, hoping to see Nannie, but imagine his disap pointment when he learned through one of the servants that she was sick, quite sick. Breakfast was announc ed, and with a heavy heart he took his accustomed seat when a few common place remarks were exchanged be tween himself and the family, and among other things, Ralph enquired if “Miss Nannie” was very ill, and being answered in the negative, noth ing more was said about her, as he could see a general reticence mani fested by all the family, but the cause of all this was a deep mystery which he could not understand. [to BE CONCLUDED IN’ OUR NEXT ] -•*. [COMMUNICATED.] Editor Times. —l notis in your last papur that the men folks of Baxley hev bin a diseussin “which has the grater enfluince over them money or womon” Now sir ef eny of them bed bin eny kin to yours rfcspcckfully, the queston could hev bin settled without much argiment, becase I never had money emiff in all my life to no hits feelin, but I kin jes tell you what is so Sal is good enuff for me, and it wood hev to be a nice little pile of the jenu wine stuff to buy her, or trade for ary gal goin. My first acquaintance with Sal was at a quarterly meetin. I had on my best duds and felt mity joyus. 1 strut ed in rn tuck my seat ; 1 giv one more glance at my Sunday close, then cast mine eyes round to see ef eny of the gals was a lookin arter me, when 1 seed Sal with eyes and mouth sticched a lookin jest as el she was reddy to swaller me. Now those grate big black eyes looked so much like rype chinkerpins popin outen the shells that hit made my mouth run water, while those white shiniu teeth in her mouth looked so much like corn in a hopper till I almost magined hearin our old mill grind. Well 1 looked at Sal and she at me, and wo both kept a lookin till the precher wood strike the book mity bevy, then we wood jump as ef we lied bin noddin. Now arter meetin was over, Sal started down my way in company with a Mother gal. and as 1 was a sand pack in bit too I soon jined them. It did not take long for us to make Trends and before we parted I gave her to un derstand that 1 had a natural leaning ty her and wood call round next Sun day to see her. Weil sir, I thought the week wood never end, and evrv thing seemed to bo turned topsy turvy, for I no sooner entered the door when mammy seed something was wrong. As 1 went to take a seat I missed the chair an down I came on the door, kickin over the cradle, spillin out the baby, mashin the cat, which dew by mammy as she was hurryin to the baby, trippin her up agin the spinnin wheel which went whirlin by the door as dad came runiu to see what the row was, pilin him on us all. You never did see sech a time as we nad ; dad commenced to cuss, mammy to scold, the baby to squall, and 1 to grone, which put the house in sech a commoshun that dad grabbed me by the nap of my neck and seat at my breeches, and with one sling piled me out of doors, landing me on my head. I could not begin to tell all that did happen that week for the mill woodn’t grind, and the saw turned backards, till dad couldn’t stand hit no longer, so I ups and tells him all about i . He then gives me orders to bring her home in a week, and loose no more j lime, or leave the place. So I put on ! my studdvin cap how to pop the ques tion till 1 fixed it sill up in my mine ; but jest as I was feelin hupy as a “june bug on a sweet tater vine,” the thought fl ished cross me, spose she wood n’t have me, till I couldn’t eat nor sleep for hit, and Sunday found me worse than ever j but I put on my fine close, picked up courage and started brite and early to see Sal. Now her fokes spectin what was up, gave us a chance slip off’ in the kitchin, but when time came to make my smart speech 1 coodn’t think of one word to say, and alter turuiu my brains over and over again lor nearly an hour, I jumped up, propped my back agin the cliiim y ai>d grabbed the manllepicce with my hands to steddy myself, then drawin a long breth I axed her how many taters she could eat ; as she looked up at me and I seed she wernt skeerd one bit, my teeth commenced to chatter like 1 had an ager, and my nees nocked to gether like dead bones, till she sed, more tiian I could make. I sprung 4 feet up in the air, struck my heels to' gether and sed, by granny we’ll try it, but arter all was over 1 fell mity cheap to think, what a fool I was tor gettiu skeerd arter nuthing. Now hit didn’t taKe long for us to carry our bet inter effect, for she was as willin as I was to try hit, so on Thursday followin the not was tide, and up to this time Sal has stood good to her word by eatin evry tater I ever made Sal makes amity good wife, and we live together “happy as a dead pig in the sunshine,” and when standiu she balances 140 lbs in a No. 9 shoo. She can turn her hand to enny thing from skiunin a tater to a cow, and a perfect child of nature, for the fashions of this world are but foolishness to her, and her hed is level enuff without a big till!buster on the back of hit to keep hit balanced. Now sir, you see what effect woman lied over me, and if money can make a bigger fool of me than that, 1 dout want bit ; but there in one thing I kin do that you cant with money, hev use of the principle and git compound in terest at the same time, for I’s got tne finest boy in the country, and ef that ain’t a fair return in one year I don’t no what intrest is. Granger. BAXLEY DEPARTMENT. J. ISHAM CARTER, - - Editor. THURSDAY. JUNE 4, 1874. Joseph' Lfelienstein, the cele brated cat peddler, was in town a few days since buying up all the cats in the country at two dollars each. We wish liini success, but learn that he di i not succeed in getting many from this place. Send on your cash, or s< me more cat-fish, Joe, and we will promi e to see you well rewarded. Hon. S. P. Smith, ex-Membcr of the Georgia Legislature from Tat nail Cos, lias been spending several days in our town He is decidedly the strongest advocate of “patent outsides” will) whom it has been our good fortune to meet. Smith never says anything but that which he means. I think he has succeeded in convincing a few preju diced parties that the Eastman Times, though it is a “patent outside,” bids fair to become the leading journal of the “Empire State.” The people of this town are almost perpetually speaking of the M. vs. H. controversy. We hope the difficulty will be amicably settled. The g< od people around Graham don’t know t! e meaning of “rather thin,” a favorite phrase of the disputants. We are just the boys that can fathom any thing so shallow A Trip to tlie “Forest City.” On last Wednesday, about 4 o’clock p. til., we might have been seer, sitting at or near the depot awaiting the ar rival of the passenger train which wo were expecting to convey us over the M. B. Road to Jesup Our expecta tions were realized, for the train soon arrived with a heavy load of our pa triotic brother, R. S. 8., a well-known and highly-esteemed editor of a popu lar gazette, published somewhere be tween here and Macon. Bobb soon inquired as to where we were going, and. as a matter of course, we told him, not thinking that he desired to accompany us. He soon began im ploring us to allow him to go to town too. We could not resist the teais that apparently ran so spontaneously from Bobb’s visual organs, so with this proviso we consented : To be diligent in performing any duty that wc might impose upon him, and to go all the way as baggage. With some little reluctance Bobb the above, but remarked that it was an imposi tion UDon his dignity, as he had hith erto gone to the “Forest City” in a gentlemanly style. After leaving Bax ley we went on en route for Jesup, in company with Hon. 0. A. Bacon and Lochrane, both of whom are shining lights and gentlemen of un equalled talents. We soon found our ! selves at Jesup, and after spending the night very pleasantly in that city of “brotherly love,” took tne Jackson ville train, which safely conveyed us to our point of destination, but owing to the dusty streets, and a good many other things too tedious to mention, we did not sojourn there but a very short period. After arousing Bobb from a good old slumber in which he was indulging to a considerable ex* tent, we bade him good bye, and re’ quested him not to acknowledge the receipt of any more notes written with a green pencil—especially those writ ten by “Tom Collins.” Our destined poTftt now being Mclntosh, we tnere stopped for a few minutes, out being lavored by a young friend of ours with a conveyance, we went on “with a heart for every fate” in search ol Hinesville, the garden spot of Liberty county. We know everybody in this town and everybody knows us, so we were not at a loss for words to relate our business, and when thrown in com pany of our former preceptor, Prof. S. P. Bradwell, a genial gentleman who has attained permanent distinction in the various avocations of life which he ■s pursuing with unsurpassed dili gence and ability, and under whose tutorage we spent some of our most halcyon school-days, we were then made happy. Prd. Bradwell stands at the head of a large and flourishing school, and'is also the editor of the Hinesville Gazette. With some little diffidence we hero make it convenient to remark that a man with the “beam from h s eye” connot go to Hinesville witln ut becoming infatuated with the childish beauty of the beautiful and accomplished young ladies of that burg. After bidding many of our old and hignly-esteemed comrades, school and class-mates an affectionate adieu, we left Hinesville, and, on reaching Mclntosh, again came in contact with B..bb, who beseeehed us to tell nor write anything that we saw or heard while gone. Our duty requires us to tell everything we know, Bobb, and a gooo deal more if necessary. [coMrmc ATr and. ] Baxley, Ga., May 24th, 1874. Editor Eastman Times — I have been noticing a correspondence in your col umns between “A.” and “J. H. M.,” in which it seems “J. H. M.” lias found himself unable to answer charges, or las forgotten the subject, and wan uer< and off on me and my present busi ness, at least, so I judge from the fact tiiht he usou the name of “Jack,” and a'lsi lcs to a difficulity I had with the McEachins. Now, what has my pri vate business to do with the acts of public officers ? 1 suppose the reason lie hits at me is because I was present at the sale alluded t<>, and a question arising as to the validity of the title, I was called on for an opinion and gave it. I stated to Moody and many o the citizens, that in my judgement the sale was unauthorized, construed the law to Moody, and advised him iif>t to sell. Seeing he was determin ed, I addressed myself to the citizens, and told them not to invest their mon ey in a fraudulent deed that would be worthless. Surely I was acting in good faith. I had no private interest to serve, for the citizens of the coun ty had favored me with a liberal practice, and such sales and titles as this would certainly not have the e!- iect of lessening litigation, so it will at once be seen, it anything I acted a ;’ainst my own interest in the matter But I did not wish our records cum bered with and our citizens defrauded by such worthless deeds. Now for these reasons Moody sees fit to allude to me, and says “I tried to get Mc- Eachin’s land and came near getting shot.” This is a mistake, growing out of the fact that I had his land lev ied on to satisfy a fi. fa. which I um c mtrolling in favor of A. C. Mcßae, vs McEachin. Mr. McEachin became offended at it., and this caused the dif ficulty, in which young McEachin made an attempt to shoot me. The law provides for levy and sale, and 1 was only acting under its provisions, and not like Moody in his.sale, losing sight of all legality. But, Mr. Editor, what has mine and McEachin’s diffi cu’ty to do with the question at issue, -he allcgatio! s of “A.” or the fraudu lent sale made by the honest Moody ? 0;- what mts it to do with his pocket ing the public money ? Had McEachin killed me, that would not have legal ized the transactions, nor set Moody right before his countrymen, neither would have placed the money where it properly belongs, in the County Treasury. Moody will probably be surprised that Mr. McEachin has seen bis error, came up like an honest man, ad acknowledge! he was wrong, and we a:e now friends. Such however are the facts. N< w f Moody wutfd do like wise, come up, and acknowledge fiis wrong and pay over the money, then perhaps the people of the country would make friends with him as did McEachin with me. Not so, however, he acknowledges having part of the money, but proposes to hold on to it, and invest it “in hoop iron, to band me, because lain so thin”—his apolo gy and proposition are more so. Now il he wishes to donate something, me thmks it would be more to his credit to donate hi - own money; for I must sug gest that he is not the proper officer to distribute the.pauper fun 1 So much for all that. Now as to the charge that I put a pauper upon the county at eighty dollars per month, or any other price either with or without, “a bottle of oil,” I pronounce a gross slander, the author a liar and contemptible scoundrel, Now the law provides for paupers, and the presumption is that the ordinary did his duty, ’til the con trary is shown. If Moody was dissatisfied at the amount paid, why didn’t he offer to take him for less. Poor old man, he will no more disturb frugal Moody’s heart for he has gone to his rest, where I much fear Moody will never go. Respectfully, &c., G. J Holton. _r DIED At his residence in Montgomery county, on Monday the Ist iust., Mi. Simon W. Nash, au old and highly respectable citizen.
