The members of the Democratic

in Newnan on Monday, 19th inst^at
11 o’clock a. m. for the purpose of
fixing the time and manner of nom

lay to vote against Mr. James in the
Senatorial Convention, and they do
not constitute one-third of the
whole number selected—eigh-
een. The only instruction sought
'O be given was t > vote against the
rotation rule; but had the County
Convention the power to instruct
any of the delegates? Under our
plan of selecting delegates to
the Senatorial Convention, each
militia district acts indej endently
ind selects its own delegates, with
>ut consulting the other Districts.
Districts alone have the the power
to instruct their delegates. The
convention might have had the au-
hority to instruct the five delegates
from the county at large; but, if we
have been correctly informed, it
did not do this. The five delegates
referred to were only instructed to
vote against the rotation system.

HON. .1. S. JAMES SPEAKS IN NEW
NAN.
On Monday evening of last week
4 large number of our citizens as
sembled in front of the Virginia
Houseand called for Hon. J. S.
James, of Douglas county, who is a
candidate for State Senator.
Mr. James came forward in re
sponse to the call and was introdu
ced by Hon. Lavender R. Ray,
who said, among other things, that
according to the rotation system
which had been of force in this
Senatorial District since the close
•if the late war, and to which all
the counties in the last Senatorial
Convention had pledged themselves
anew, it was the time for Douglas
county to furnish the Senator. Thai
county, in a primary i lection held
for the purjo--, had by a decided
majority fixed upon Hon J. S.
James as her choice for that office.
He was a geutleman of ability, of
experience as a legislator, and em
inently qualified for tlie pisitior, in-
sought.
Mr. James then proceeded to dis
cuss the questions that would likely
come before thenext general asse • -
bly. He said he was in favor of tlie
Railroad Commission law, tho.igh
it had been falsely reported Hint In
was opposed to It; that if honored
with the office of Senator he would,
oppose anil vote against any Ui’l
that might te introduced to amend
this law by curtailing its powers in
any way. lie said it had hei n char
ged hy his enemies that he was a
•railroad man.” This was false.
His record in the Legislature for
two term- would show that he had
always taken the side of the people
against all monopolies and combi
nations. lie had voted in the Leg
islature to tax railroads for county
purposes in the counties through
which they run. As tlie railroads
have access to our courts and the
protection of our peace officers, il is
nothing but right that they should
pay their just proportion of tax, like
the citizen, to defray the expenses
of the county. He said lie was the
i’.uthor ot the bill that required
trains to come to a full stop where
two roads cross ea< h other “You re
cently had a serious collision in
Newnan,” he continued, “which
came near resulting in great Iosb
of life. This would have beeh aver
ted had toe railroad officials com
plied with this law.
“In the late primary election held
in my county there were eighteen
railroad hands that wanted to v«d-
forme. They were sent out of the
county on the day of elecUon, by
the < fficial who had authority over
them, to prevent them from voting
When asked for an explanation o
this action he said it was because
I had always voted against the rail
road interests. And yet, notwith
.standing the opposition of (lie rail
roads, I defeated my opponent hy a
vote of more than four to one.”
He said he was opposed to the
sale of the State Road; that when
a resolution was introduced in the
Legislature of 1883 authorizing the
sale of this valuable property, he
was the first member of that body
to oppose it; that he made a motion
to lay the resolution on the table,
and it was then and there killed He
was opposed to paying the lessee.-
ofthe State Road for betterments;
that they kneiv the road was it
bad condition when they leased it
and would have to be n paired; tha’
by reason of this, they got it cheap
er.and consequently tlie State would
not owe them anything for bettor
ments.
Mr. James spoke about an hour
When he had finished Mr. Edge, m
Douglasville. came to the front am'
harangued the multitude, ft \va-
soon made apparent to the crowd,
from the burden of his them >, that
he had a personal grudge agaius
Mr. James, and his remarks fell flat
He was terribly in earnest and
him. Although he had fairly carried
the county, he was willing to run
the race over again, an-1 if he did
not defeat both men, with Edge
thrown in, he would Dot ask the in
dorsement oi tlie other counties in
the district.
It was evident at the outset that
there were some in the crowd who
had come for no other purpose than
to guy the speaker (Mr. James,) but
whenever they attempted to con
fuse him by asking irrelevant ques
tions they were themselves con
founded. He “gassed” back every
time and invariably turned the
laugh on his questioners. A speaker
oust have rare self possession to
withstand the jeering of a noisy
•rowd; but Mr. James sustained
himself most admirably and those
vho came to deride remained to
applaud.
Col. Frank Clarke was called out
after Mr. James retired, who came
forward rather timdly and faced
‘its audience. He spoke several
minutes in opposition to the rota-
ion rule, during which time his
timidity wore off to some extent
but as il is contrary to our policy to
give aid and comfort to the opposi
tion, we will not attempt to epito
rnize his remarks.
We still say, “Hooray for
Jeems!”
mental forces that so eminently
characterize the man. He is es
sentially a man of the people. From
the menial duties of a common
field laborer, in his youth, he has
risen step by step to a position of
eminence and honor, and richly de
serves his success.
If the delegates to ihe Senatorial
Convention in examining, each for
himself, should find all that we have

omc to the conclusion that the ac-
iou of the convention last Tuesday

his oration (if It can ue dignified by
such a term,) was a dismal failure.
Had he been half as sharp as h:«

perceived that he was boring his

As it resulted, however, the only
effect produced was to make votes

office which he had filled so unsat

COWETA’S DUTY.
The question as to what action
Coweta’s delegates to the Senatorial
Convention will finally decide upon
is exciting considerable interest and
discussion just now. It is apparent
that the County Convent’on Lst
Tui sday did not call to mind tlie ac
tion of Coweta’s delegates in the Iasi
Senatorial Convention in pledging
the county to Ihe rotation system-
under which rule Coweta’s right to
representation two years ago was
recognized and conceded without
opposition from either of tlie other
counlies in the district. We can’t
believe that it was tlie purpose o:
the convention last Tuesday to
compromise the honor and integ
rity of the county by instructing
her delegates to vote contrary to
the wishes of a majority of her peo
ple.—hence, we are forced to Hit
conclusion that the convention
acted under a misapprehension of
the facts. In justice to Coweta
county it is to be hoped that each
delegate will cast about and ascer
tain for his own satisfaction, the
true status of affairs. If lie find*
that we cantlot break loose from
the rotation system until the cir
cuit has been completed, he will do
what tl e convention, above all
other things, intended lie should
do—Right—and will abide by the
rotation rule until it can be changed
without the charge of unfairness
being made against us.
Now, f- r the facts: Under the
rotation system all the countie-
have had 1 Do Senatorship once
each, and in 1884 Meriwether hat:
had that office two terms.
Then it became Coweta’s turn in
tlie second round. Three candi
dates tivere in the field, viz—Judge
Featherstone, Air. Ray and Air:
Post. After Coweta had aeted,
these gentlemen went to Dougla-
to press their respective claims.
While there they’ were repeatedly
asked if Coweta would stand by
the rotation system, and knowing
who the delegates were, each can
didate was enabled to answer fot
his own delegation. We are in
formed that the candidates as
sured the people of Douglas that
Coweta would adhere to the rota
tion rule. We are further informed
that similar assurances and pledges
were given the Democratic voters
of Campbell county. The Senatori
al Convention met in Newnan on
the 3d of September, 1884, and the
delegates from all the counties
including those from Campbell and
Douglas, cast their votes for one or
the, otlior of the candidates from
Coweta,none others coming into the
race. After the nomination, Air.
S. L. Whatley introduced the fol
lowing resolution-
“Resolved, That it is the sense ot
this convention that in the future
selection of Senators from this Dis
trict tlie rotation system still re
main of force.”
This resolution was adopted, re
ceiving the unanimous support of
the delegates from Coweta and
Meriwether.
Under this rule, perpetuated in
tlie manner indicated above, Cowe
ta’s claims were honored by the se
lection of Hon. Lavender R. Ray.
and it is now Douglas’ time. Rec
ognizing this ruie, candidates from
no other county have sought the of
fice, and, confident of the support
and indorsement of her sister coun
ties, Douglas proceded to select a
candidate for presentation to the
District. Two aide anti influential
c’ttzens of that cuuty presented
their claims to the people in a pri
mary’election, and the honest vot
ers of that county, by a very fit Ber
ing majority, pronounced in favor
of Hon. J..S. James.
We have been particular to state
all the facts and circumstances, as
accurately as we could ascertain
them, in order that the people may
be fully advised in regard to the
matter. AVe learr. fr'on those who
have the privilege of an intimate
quaintance with Mr. James that

denied the privileges and advnnta-

himself so industriously’ and assidu-

THE COUNTY CONVENTION.
The County Democratic Conveu-
ion met last Tuesday to select dele
gates to the State Convention, the
Congressional Convention and the
District Senatorial Convention.
Major U. B. Wilkinson was, on
motion, made temporary chair
man, and Messrs. W. F. Sibley and
W. D. Aleriw’ether requested to act
as secretaries. By a subsequent
motion Mr. A. B. Brown was then
made permanent chairman and
Messrs. Sibley and Aleriwetber re
tained as secretaries.
Each of the thirteen districts had
its full quota of representation, mak-
ing 130 delegates in ail.
The selection of delegates to the
Congressional Convention was
made first in order. Mr. P. H
Brewster offered the following reso
lution, which was unanimously
adopted:
“Whereas, Hon. A. D, Freeman is
a candidate for the nomination to
represent.the Fourth District in the
National Congress, Coweta in
convention assembled, desires to as
sure the Democracy’ of the District
that he is one of our most distin
guisned sons,pre-eminent'y fitted to
represent them in the high office to
which he aspires. In war, as a sol
dier lie distinguished himself for
gallantry; in peace as a citizen, for
unity- «tltd virtue; in the church as a
Christian, for devotion and piety. A
character tints established is a guar
anty, in his hands no public trust
will be 1* trayed, and no interest of
the people will he neglected. The
Democratic party’ has hf-.d no truer
supporter. In her councils he has
been wise, on the stump eloquent,
and in the labor of her many con
flicts lie has worked with a zeal un
tiring: With such a record, he de
serves support; therefor?, be it
Desol red, That, the delegates se
lected by this convention be in
structed to vote for the nomination
of A. D. Freeman and employ all
honorable means to secure hisnom
ination.”
The following named gentlemen
were chosen to represent Coweta
county as delegates to t tie Congress

Simms, W B Berry, W F Sibley,
S L Whatley, L T Aioses, J N Sew

it Lamar, of Atlanta, soiiife of your
Worm Oil, and it is so far superior tc
anything we have ever seen, that in fu
ture we will haye no other kind in
store. We have been selling Worm
Medicines for quite a number of years,
and can say (as well as our customers)
that your Worm Oil is more effectual
than" anything we have ever sold.
Should you wish testimonials, we will
send them to you from our best citizens.
This letter is unsolicited by any one,
and is written solelj r to commend yon
far getting up a good’ thing.
Yours truly,
Robertson, Lej.lie Co.
Troup Factory, Ga.
I certify that on the loth of February
I commenced giving my four children,
aged 2* 4 V 0 and 8 years Respectively,
Smith’s Worm Oil, and within six days
there were at least 1200 worms expelled.
One child passed over 100 in one night.
J. E. Simpson.
Hall County, Febmary 1, 1879.
Sir:—My child, five years old, had
symptoms of worms, i tried calomel
and other Worm Medicines, hut failed
to expel any. Seeing Mr. Bain’s certifi
cate, I got a vial of your Worm Oil, and
the first dose brought forty worms, and
the second dose so many ‘were passed I
did not count them. S. H. Adams.
Athens, Ga.
A few*nights since I gave mv son one
dose of Worm Oil, and the next day he
passed sixteen large worms. At* the
same time I gave one dose to my little
girl four years old, and she passed
eighty-six worms, from four to fifteen
inches long. W. F. Phillips.
Athens, Ga.
Tin; Worm Oil is perfectly harmless
and will remove every worm, when giv
en according to directions. It costson-
ly 25 cents.* It is worth that much to
feel assured that your child is not
wormy.
ONLY A QUARTER OF A DOLLAR.
For twenty-five cents you can buy
a package of Smith’s Liver Tonic.
Can be taken in powder, or in solu
tion. No trouble to prepare it. Put
a twenty-five cents package in
pint of whisky, and it is ready for
use. When a mild cathartic is de
sired, put one package in a quart
of whisky. The cheapest and the
best liver medicine. Cures head
ache always, aids digestion, and
relieves constipation.
