THE NOMINATION EAST SATURDAY.
Capt. R W Anderson the Successful
Candidate.
The convention which met in Haw
kinsville on Saturday last decided to
open the polls at the court house and
proceed to nominate a candidate for
Representative. There were but
two gentlemen whose friends had
determined to enter for the honor—
Capt. R. W. Anderson and Gen. O.
C. Horne.
Managers wore selected and the
polls kept open until five o’clock in
the afternoon. Nearly three hun
dred ballots were east, and the result,
as announced by the managers, gave
Capt. Anderson upward of thirty ma
jority.
By this action of the voters of Pu
laski county, Capt. Anderson is the
regularly nominated candidate of the
Democratic party, and the rumor
that he will be opposed by an inde*
pendent candidate is idle gossip.
We are confident Gen. Horne enter
tains no such an idea. We worked
as earnestly for his nomination as
any of his most ardent friends, and
would gladly have witnessed his suc
cess, but, failing to secure it, that
ended the matter as far as we were
concerned, and we shall now expect
to see Capt. Anderson supported gen
erally by the voters of the county.
Capt. Ruell W. Anderson has repre
sented our county in the legislative
halls upon different occasions. He
is a good farmer, a worthy citizen,
and bears the record of a gallant
soldier.

Dr. Clark Back Again from Texas.
Our old fellow-citizen, Dr. Charles
E. Clarke, returned to Hawkinsviile
on Saturday from Ellis connty,
Texas, where he has been living for
the last year or two. The Doctor
came back to see his old friends last
summer, but remained only about a
couple of days. Whiie on his way
to Georgia ihe other day he stopped
one day in Memphis, Tennessee, to
do some trading. While engaged in
trying on a suit of clothes, he‘gave
his fine gold watch to the clerk to
hold. The clerk passed it to another
clerk, who had disappeared when
the Doctor was ready to leave. The
Grst clerk tried to excuse himself for
the loss of the watch by throwing
the blame upon the other man. The
Doctor went to police headquarters
and made complaint. Superior
Court being in session, he went to
the grand jury room and had the
two men indicted. After remaining
over in Memphis two or three days,
the Doctor recovered his watch,
which, it seems, was delivered to the
foreman of the grand jury and re
turned to its owner.
Moral —Don’t pass your watch or
pocket book to the clerk while you
try on a suit of clothes, especially
when you may be traveling or trad
ing with strangers.

A Sack of Telfair Potatoes.
The editor of the Dispatch returns
liis thanks to Judge Alexander Mc-
Duffie, the worthy and excellent Or
dinary of Telfair county, for a bushel
or two ot large sweet potatoes re
ceived by railroad on Saturday. If
they are fair samples of Judge Mc-
Duffie’s crop, wo are inclined to
think Montgomery county and the
McArthurs are in danger of losing
their laurels.
By the way, we have never said
anything about that trip we made in
company with ex-Solicitor General
Rollin A. Stanley and the Judge to
his potato and sugar cane patches
one evening during last Superior
Court at Mcßae. We entered the
cane patch, cut a stalk and began
chewing, while Judge McDuffie and
Capt. Stanley proceeded to inspect
the potatoes. Capt. Stanley found
in the ridges several “cracks” that
resembled small earthquakes, and
went to work “grabbling.” Very
soon the Judge found a potato that
baffled all hia efforts to extract it
from its place in the ground. We be
came interested in his efforts, and
saw him go to the fence, take a rail
upon his shoulder and return to the
spot where he had found the potato.
Putting one end of the rail under the
potato, h ■ threw r his weight upon the
other end of the rail and began bear
ing downward. Human strength
and ingenuity have overcome greater
obstacles, and it was soon evident
that the Judge had lever power
enough to get his potato out without
our aid. With one end of the rail
under the potato and the Judge on
the other end of the rail, the potato
yielded. It was a magnificent yam,
and Capt. Stanley shouldered it and
conveyed it to the house.

Editor Hawkinsville Dispatch :
Dear Sir: —l will briefly state to
you and the public that. I have heard
many expressions of dissatisfaction
with the nomination at this place on
last Saturday, in consequence of the
denial of the right to the people of
Cochran tp hold a nomination there
as well as in Hawkinsville, after they
had made a request of the Chairman
of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee to do so. And I will also
say that I have been urged by many

' nomination upon the ground of un
fairness in consequence of said de

MACON, GEORGIA, July 24, 1877.
From and after this date I will sell all grades of Whiskies only on com
mission.
1 have recently effected an arrangement with the
Largest. Distillers in th.e United. States
To sell for them on consignment direct from their Distilleries. 1 will also
keep large lots of all grades of their goods m my store in this eity, ready to
fill all orders quickly, without having to wait to order from their respective
distilleries. I will fill all orders as cheap as can be bought from any market
in the United States.
I have now on hand and in store, and will keep all the time from three
to five hundred barrels of all grades Whiskies. Having had fifteen years’,
experience in the business, 1 feel no hesitancy in saying I can give perfect
satisfaction.
I have now and intend to keep a full supply of
FINE BAR WHISKIES
From three to nine years old. My five year, Double Stamped
Pure Old Cabinet Rye Wliisky
Is the finest I ever saw. I will furnish this particularly fine brand one doK
lar per gallon cheaper than the same age goods can he bought anywhere in
this country, from the fact that the Distillery lias about one thousand bar
rels of this grade on hand, and wishes to realize on it.
llelow, I annex a description of one of the Distilleries I sell for, viz.,
James IV. Gaff & Co’s Mill Creek Distillery, Ohio—the largest iu the world.
A MAMMOTH ESTABLISHMENT.
Mali W®
Cincinnati, Ohio.
O
The general offices of the firm are situated at the above address, and where they
have telegraphic communication with their different establishments. The distillery is
situated at Mill Creek, iu the western portion of the city, and is considered one of the
largest and best appointed in the world, the buildings, stock pens and appurtenances
cover an area of six teen acres. The entire frontage of the building is five hundred
feet. The stock pens have capacity lor 4,000 head of cattle and 10,000 head of lioga—
hence it will be seen that it must be a mammoth concern.
The distillery is admirably well arranged, being divided into separate compartments,
for the more systematic transaction of the business. The most complete discipline is
observed on the premises, and each department is under the immediate charge of an
experienced toren 1 an.
The engine room is large and commodious, and is supplied with the most supurh
machinery and all the modern improvements. The corn house, malt house, kiln and
warcrooms arc especially adapted for the business.
The fermenting house, which is 140x107 feet, is supplied with a large number of
vats or tubs, having an average capacity of about 42,000 barrels. After the liquid
which these tubs contain undergoes a proper process of fermentation, it is drawn off
by means of underground pipes to a large cistern, w hich runs nearly the entire length
of the basement ot the main building.
The new bonded warehouse contacted with the establishment is 120x117 feet, and is
five stories high. It has a capacity for storing 30,000 barrels, and is nearly fire proof
as possible.
The column stills used for the manufacture of cologne spirits, and the stills for the
manufacture of Bourbon whiskies, are of large capacity and of the highest type of me
chanical ingenuity, and we are tree to admit that they canfiot be excelled by any in
this country or Europe. ~
1 he rectifying depanment is complete in every particular, bring supplied with every
thing requisite lor ilie successful transaction of that branch of the business. On the
whole we must say that the Mill Creek Distillery is a model establishment, and would
well repay a visit of inspection. The firm have recently increased their facilities for
manutaetuiing pmc Bourbon and Rye whiskies, the capacity of the distillery being
10,000 gallons jer day. They have also extended their warehouse facilities to a con
siderable extent. r J l.c location ot this distillery is specially valuable in producing
spirits at lew cost. It is situated between tne tracks of five diffeicnt lines or railroad,
which run to all portions of the country, and is only about one hundred feet distant,
lrom the Ohio river. All grain received into the distillery is taken from- the cars by,
means of elevators and is handled but once. These are advantages enjoyed by no
concern of the kind in the West.
In addition to the distillery proper, the firm have completed within the past year an
elegant compounding establishment, a few sepia res east of the distillery. It is a sub
stantial brick budding with a frontage of about one hundred and fifty feetf tiiid is di
vided into separate apartments for different purposes. We notice one apai'tk_ent
w Inch is used exclusively for dumping purposes, adjoining it is the receiving room
which contains ten tubs, with an aggregate capacity ot 894 barrels, the other portions
of the building are used for compounding purposes, storage, etc. it is needless to say
anything in reference to the qua'ity of goods manufactured by Messrs. Guff & Cos., a°
they are already wed and lavorably known among the trade throughout the entire
Union. The brands Star “A,’ ‘B,’ und ‘G’ Bourbon whisky made by them are justly
celebrated lor excellence of flavor and general good quality. The same may be said of
their brands Star A and B Rye whiskies. Jn the way or rectified and compounded
w hiskies, the greatest possible care is taken in their manufacture, and the goods tamed
out in this line °re second to none in the market.
Messrs. Gaff & Cos., may be considered pioneers in the business, having been engaged
in it since the year 1842, when the manufacture of whisky was in its infancy in Cin
cinnati, and by that characteristic zeal and energy, for which they are noted, they have
reached the front rank of American distillers, and have succeeded in building tip a.
trade, which to-day stands umivuled, not only in this country but Europe.
The members ol the firm are James W. Gulf and Oliver Pcrin, both of whom enjoy
a distinguished reputation in various portions of the country. They have always been
actively engaged in every movement calculated to advance the interest of Cincinnati,
and site can now r point with just pride to many public improvements that have been
materially aided by the public spiritedness of these gentlemen. scpt2o 2m
