County Meeting.
We were eqUul’y surprised and pleased at
our County meeting on Saturday last, to find
flint tli' 1 great hue and cry raised against “our
man” was more imaginary than real. We fire
inclined from all the lights before us, to the
opinion that Col. Goode would poll tho heav
iest vote in this county of any man at present
lie fore the people. But a con bination
of circumstances will gradually wear away
the premature . opposition that so unreason
ably prevails against Col. Kibbee, whom we
learn (through private circles) has succinctly
reviewed his public career before some of the
thinking citizens of our coun .y who have given
it unprejudiced considerations; and though
none of their have given so far as we have
known, publicity to bis explanations, yet it has
passed from one to another with signal bene
fit to himself : and before election day rolls
around we predict many changes in his favor.
In corroboration of this opinion we might
mention the necessity of a unity of action,
thought, feeling and purpose with, our
neighbors of Pulaski, bet wear whom and our
selves there is no apparent cause for prejudice
or disagreement We are not prepared to
array ourself In direct antagonism to our im
mediate citizenship, but we are clearly of opin
ion that in supporting the claims of a gentle
man who in native ability ranks so far
above the common class of politicians we
not only challenge the respect and admiration
of our sister county, but deserve her patron
age hnd support in all that pertains to our
own political preferment. With these impres
sions we can scarcely do less than wish success
coupled with a hearty support for the man of
our choice.

Nomination.
At the head of our columns to-day
will be found a ‘Call for a meetin g of
the members of the Democratic Exec
utive Committee of Dodge,’ for the
purpose of considering the policy of a
nomination of candidates for Repre
sentative and county officers.
Li the beginning we desire to say
that we are favorable to a nomination,
hut not to one controlled by rings and
political intriguers, but one which will
give a full expression of the people.—
Lei us have a nomination, and let ev
cry Democrat attend the meeting and
cast his vote for the man that he thinks
most competent for the position, and
not be governed by personal spite or
feelings, but abide his best convic
tions for the interest of his county.
It may be argued that there is no
need of nominations, especially in our
county where we aie all Democrats,
yet how are we to know whether all
are Democrats unless we have a
nomination ? If the Democratic party
has no nomination Radicals, if any we
have, will have no nomination, with
the expectation of clocking their infa
mous principles under the pure robes
ot Democracy. Democrats “dyed in
tho wool’ will abide a nomination un
der the two-thirds rule, but those who
have not the interest of country at
heart will come out under the pretend
ed ‘independent’ system.
Let us have a nomination, so that
parties will show their true colors.
[COMMUNICATED.]
Captain John A. Harrell for Repre
sentative.
To the Citizens of Dodge County :
At last Dodge County is entitled to
representation in tho Legislature, and
the question, “Who shall represent
us ?” will soon have to be determined
by the citizens. No question of more
vital importance has ever been sub
mitted to the citizens of Dodge county
since its organization, and the ques
tion is of such magnitude as to require
a calm and careful Consideration.
We should put forward a man who
will fully represent the intelligence,
purity and patriotism of our citizens ;
we must see what a man’s record has
been, and what he is now.
We should desire to commence our
debut in tho next General Assembly
with a man who will not be a disgrace
to himself and the State of Georgia,
but a man of the highest character
and ability, who can resist all rings
with their bribes, corruptions, sopbis
try and specious pretences.
In the next Legislature many ques
tions of magnitude will arise, and up
on their solution depends the woe or
prosperity of Georgia, among which
is the proposed amendment to the Con
stitution, declaring the Bullock bogus
bonds void. There arc other matters
that will be before the Legislature that
will require the clear head, incorrupt
ible heart and talented man to so ar*
range that they will result in the
peace, happiness and prosperity of our
country.
In casting my eyes around in search
of a man who will meet the above re
quirements, I lake pleasure in submit
ting the name of Captain John A. Har
neel as the man best qualified in every
respect for our Representative I need
not refer you to his bravery and daring
deeds during the war between the
States. \Y lien Georgia was overrun
with carpet-baggers and interlopers,
and while her citizens were being
crushed with the tyranny and oppres
sion of a Radical administration, Capt.
John A. Harrell threw to the breeze
the banner of Democracy and battled
in the interest of our commonwealth.
He was born, bred and raised in the
county now of Dodge, nurtured in the
principles of true Democracy, and with
his pure, judicious, talented and un
tarnished character, Dodge county will
have every reason to look with pride
upon him as their Representative.
DEMOCRAT.
August 14th, 1874. It
Increase of Railroads —The belief
is expressed that in the year 1880 there
will be 100,000 miles of railroad in the
United States. As there are in the
United States already 70,000 miles,
and the increase in prosperous years
has been as high as 13,000 miles per
annum, it would reach the amount sta
ted in less than three years if we could
but regain the plane from winch we
descended so su Idenly. Even taking
the increase of 1873 as an average,
the 100,000 would be reached and
passed in (oilr years. The railroad
mileage has doubled in ten years.—
Should this progress continue the total
mileage in 1884 would be 140,000-.
AN AUGUSTA TRAGEDY.
Brutal Murder of a White Man by
a Negro.
Augusta, August 15, IS74.—Capt.
A. F. Butler, local agent for the South
Carolina railroad was shot this evening
at 7 o'clock under the following cir
cumstances :
He was accompanied by his wife on
a street car returning from the ceme
tery on his way home. In getting off
the car at the corner of Marbury street
an intoxicated negro was sitting on
the steps, obstructing the passage.—
As himself and wife were in the act
of leaving the car Capt. Butler pushed
the negro with his hand, telling him
to get up. Gabriel and Michael Mul
ler, both negroes, were together, one
sitting on the steps and the other
standing on the platform of the car.—
Mi cl iaet pushed Mrs. Butler back as
she was in the act of being assisted
out and Gabriel pulled out a pistol
and shot Captain Butler over the left
temple, the ball penetrating the brain.
The negroes ran after the shooting,
but were pursued and captured by
the police. Gabriel was slightly
wounded in the face before being ar
rested. Captain Butl°r is still linger
ing but cannot live. He was one of
our best citizens, and universally re
spected by all classes. The most in
tense excitement prevails, and it is be
lieved that Gabriel Muller will be
lynched before morning.
LATER
Augusta, Ga., Angust 16th—Cap
tain A. F. Butler, who was shot by a
negro man, died at 11 o’clock last
night. The citizens were so eXasper
ted at the unprovoked murder, that
several hundred of them armed them
selves and marched.to the jail where
the Muriel brothers were confined.
Both of them were taken out and car
ried to the parade grounds. The jury
was improvised. Both Gabriel and
Mike Murrell asserted their innocence.
After three hours investigation, on
the sworn testimony of an eye wit
ness of the murder, Gabriel was taken
bacK to jail and Mike shot to death at
three o'clock this morning.
Senator .Jones Points a Mora!.
Donn Piatt has been interviewing
Senator Jones leisurely as they “ex
pressed” from New York to Washing
ton, arid writes in the Washington
Capital as follows :
“And now, Senator,” I asktd, “who
did write the famous memorandum ?”
“If Grant did not,” he replied, shout
ing in my ear. “I don't know who did.
I know I did not. I first saw it one
night at dinner. On getting home 1
said to my friend, ‘Here. I have half a
mind to write the President and ask
him for the mem. he read to us at the
table ; that has lots of meat in it.’—
My friend said that would be ‘cheeky.’
‘Cheeky or not, here goes.’ I addressed
the President a note, and the next
morning brought me the document.”
The conversation turning on the in
flationists, 1 called the Senator’s atten
tion to the fact that the Democrats of
Indiana had cut under Morton, and
that he had probably lost the State
and the senatorship through the very
means by which lie sought to secure
them.
“I cannot understand Morton.” said
the Senator ; “lie is unquestionably an
able man, and yet he floundered in that
quagmire of linance like a cart-horse
with his eyes blinded by the very mud
lio'flung up”
“I think,” I said, “Morton struck
out that word ‘ doctrinaire ;’ it had
such a dreadful sound to him.”
“He reminded me,” responded the
Senator, “of a queer character we once
had in Nevada, by the name of Poke
bury. lie was a lawyer of some prom
ise, but came to nothing through drink.
Losing all his clients, he went to min
ing, and joined a rough miner by the
name of Spokes. At the end of a week
Pokebury appealed in town with a
black eye, a swollen nose, and lacera
ted garments. Of course we were
anxious to know all about it. ‘Well,
you see,’ said he, ‘Billy and I were
partners, and I like Billy, for lie's a
well meaning man for an uneducated
cuss. But Billy and I dissolved part
nership, we settled and struck—least
wise we struck each other, and Billy
settled. Our first little difference was
of an astronomical character. We di
vided tho day different. Billy divided
on 6 a. M. t and I divided on 10 a. il,
anti Billy instead of allowing far as
tronomical difference* said I was a lazy
dog. I didn’t mind that, for Billy was
my partner, jou see, and had a right
to Ins views. Then we differed on ab
lution. Billy ablated before breakfast,
and said I was a dirty dog, for you see
1 always ablute after breakfast. But
I didn’t mind that, for people will dif
fer, and so long as the difference don’t
affect business what’s the odds ? But
the third difference was just a little
too much for me. We were sitting
down to beans and slap-jacks, and
Billy blowing about my being a greedy
dog, when suddenly the fellow said to
me, ‘l’d thank you for those molasses.’
This was too much—no man cun say
‘tlrose molasses’ to me me and live— j
and I just took him in the countenance
with a right-hander that settled him
and his damned insulting bad gram
mar together. That’s the way we dis
solved. I’m in town, and I guess Bill
will be here in a couple of weeks.
“And so,” continued the Senator,
“Merton struck on doctrinaire.”
IlorribSe Negro Plot Discovered.
A correspondent writing to the New
Orleans Picayune of Ttli inst. says :
“A dreadful plot of the negroes has
just been discovered here (New Iberia,
La.,) to kill the inhabitants and set
fire to the residences and plantations
in the parish of St Martin.
The tacts were disclosed by a letter
which was handed to a prominent
white gentleman by a Republican, who
vouches for the truth of the statement
it contains.
The plan was to commence killing
and burning at the Lestrapes place,
and continue their work of rapine and
murder as far as St. Martinsville.
A recommendation is made in the
letter to set the plantations on fire, in
order to find where money could be
found.
The negroes were to keep for them
selves the most beautiful women, and
the parties who were to be killed were
mentioned By name.
As soon as the criminals ascertained
that their horrid plans were discovered
they fled the parish in hot haste.
The greatest excitement prevails,
and the people are thoroughly aroused
and determined to discover and bring
to punishment the villains who have
meditated this dreadful massacre and
pillage.”
Ingenious Apparatus for Man
ipulating a Good Hand at
Draw Poker.
Officer Joe Norris arrested two
men named John Reed and William
J. Doyle, who were engaged in a
game of “draw poker,’ in company
with a third-party named David May.
at a saloon on Fourth street. The
appearance of the-two former betrayed
them to the suspicion of the officer,
On investigating the antecedents of
the gentlemen he found that tney had
just beaten May out of the round sum
of $1 000. They were brought to the
Four Courts and searched. On the
person of Davis, sewed in the lining
of his coat, on the left side, was found
a mysterious machine, connecting by
means of a string running down the
leg oti the inside of the pants, with the
left toot. Attached to the boot was a
hook, as a fastening for the string,
made of hollow spring wire, another
small string of the hempen kind be
ing received in the hollow of the wire,
and acting Upon the inner portion
of the machine according to the move
ment of the foot The machine itself
is of the most ingeneous device. It
consists of two thin steel plates, with
work resembling the imternal organ
ism ot a clock. It acts nearly on the
principle of an ordinary paper fasD
oner. The mouth fronts on the outer
edge of the coat. The coat is thrown
half open, so that the right hand, in
holding up the cards, is brought in
close proximity with his month.
When the player desires to secure an
ace he brings both hands close up to
the breast, and extending the left leg
the action of the cord opens t’.ie mouth
of the machine. The card is then
slipped in and a receiver on the inside
is drawn forward and drags or sucks
if in still further. So on until the
best hand is secured. By winding the
thing up it is made to eject the cards
thus brought in, thereby enabling the
player to execute his motions almost
imperceptibly.— St. Louis Times

And now there is another witness,
a woman calling herself S. D. Powers,
who used to work on the Golden Age.
She is a very mild kind of a witness,
she is ; she is not disposed to say
anything harsh. This delightful crea
tore only told a Chicago Times re
porter that Beecner had seduced and
run away with a beautiful girl in In
dianapolis, whose fate had been a
dark mystery ever since ; that he
ruined a married woman in Ohio,
whose husband died from very shame:
and that he was criminally intimate
with Edna Bean Proctor, and a few
hundred other women too numerous
to mention. And did the blushing
Powers, who must be a real- nice kind
of a woman, to come all the way out
to Chicago to say so little as this ?
Why, we can remember perfectly
well when Mr. Beecher kept a faro
bank here in Burlington, and shot a poor
crippie because he tried to jump the
game when he was twenty-seven
checks ahead of the board ; and when
Mr. Beecher would have the delirium
tremens which was frequent, and used
to strip himself stark naked and run up
and down Jefferson street with his
hands full of revolvers, shrieking

At Black Hawk, the other day,
writes a correspondent of the News,
a butcher’s till was tapped, and a fif
teen year old boy was accused of the
theft. He protested his innocence, but
his accusers believed him gnilt3 r , and
determined to try a method of extort
ing a confession. So, after securing
a rope, they led the boy to a mill, and
fastening the noose about his neck,,
threw the other end over a beam and
commenced to hoist. The boy never
squeaked. Once twice, three times
they raised him off his feet, when
they told him that unless he con
fessed, he was a ‘gone gosltn,’ tlie
next time. In a defiant tone he said to
them : ‘Hang, and be d—d ! All
I want you to do is to tell my mother
that I was innocent.’ They raised
him np twice more, when he gasped
out : ‘I didn’t steal it. What in the
d—l do I want with your d—d money ?
W 1 icn lowered for the fifth time he
was black in the face, and it took ten
minutes to bring him back to con
sciousness. When he came to again
he protested his innocence. ‘Well,’
said one of the hangmen, ‘we might
ns well finish the job. There’s no use
fooling around any longer.’ The box
was got, and the rope was beginning
to tighten, when the lads pluck gave
out, and he cried out : ‘Hold on ! I
did steal the money’—and then told
them where they could find it.
The amount stolen was a trifle
over S3B, but he had spent a
portion of that. He was then marched
off to jad.— Denver {Col) News.

You may dream of poetical fame,

And dismiss all fantastic alarms ;

They somehow are doubled, ’tis said.
