For he says

Dr. Felton.
Cabtersvii.le, GA.,Sept. 20,1876.
Editor Enterprise:
A letter from a citizen of Dalton of
the 18th,addressed to me,says: “Felton,
in his speech in this place laat'Saturday,
said that he had been informed that
you (I) had said that Z. B. Hargrove
stas the author of his ‘proposition’ to
submit the question of his candidacy to
the people by primary election, and if
you (I) had stated yon (I) was an unqual
ified liar.” To say nothing of the de
cency of such language by a man who
pretends to bo a preacher, what I did say
was this: 11 That a delegate of the conven
tion had told me that Maj. Hargrove said
he was the author of Dr. Felton’s proposi
tion.” Mr. John R. Towers, Jr., of the
Floyd delegation, had told me so that
day. I stated it in my speech as it was
stated to me. In support of what I then
said I introduce the following testimony :
On the afternoon of Wednesday, the
30th day of August, 1876, 1 met Z. B.
Hargrove, on Broad street, in Rome, Ga.,
near Carnochan’s store, and asked him if
il was true that a certain proposition,
known as the ‘ Felton proposition,’ had
been made to and accepted by Felton.
Ho answered that it was true, and he fur
ther remarked that it is my proposition—
I made it a week ago and they have juat
now accepted it.
John R. Towebs, Jb.
Sworn to and subscribed before me this,
the 18th September, 1876.
W. S. Cothban, Jb.,
■ Notary Public.
Hear another witness:
Sometime ago I was in front of the
postoffice in Rome, Ga., where a crowd of
persons were discussing the chances of
the different candidates, and Maj. Z. B.
Hargrove stated that Felton’s proposition
was one which suggested Bome-timo be
fore it was made by Felton; in other
words, I understand that the claims to be
author of it. John Harkins.
Mr. Towers is a young man of as good
character as any one. Mr. Harkins is
an old citizen of Rome, and has been a
leading member of the Methodist Church
for many years.
I think I have established my authori
ty for saying what I did. The question
of veracity is between Dr. Felton and
lowers and Harkins. In view of what
has been proven on Dr. Felton in matters
of veracity, I think their character will
jot suffer when brought in conflict with
his. For Dr. Felton stated in a public
speech he made in Rome in 1874, if Bass,
uabney, Printup or Lester had b,en nom
nated bv the Calhoun convention that
w ® u ''l not have been a candidate,
neafterwarda admitted in a public letter,
published in the Rome Commercial, un-
ttVe 0 djteof 16th of September, 1874,
at he did say on Saturday before the
alhoun convention that he intended to
un, no matter who was nominated.
* clear cobo, with u view to these
n radmtory statements by Dr. Felton,
he was not candid in what he said
J, Jne Calhoun Convention, and in
‘at he said in his Rome speech after
e convention ; for these statements
w J c pnflictpainful to theconscience
of truthful nmn.

ui® 9 . c °ukier and Athens Watchman

ma u‘ g l f h ® 86 extracts he knew, ea a
Pen tf, fack > that each of these pa-
had* »;L confee8ed a mistake and
now ii rawn their indorsement. I
9t atom3nt enge Dr ‘ *' e * ton to ^ eny
Democratic candidates,
in his proposition:
. ‘‘On the day of the general election
in October, each voter in the Seventh
Congressional District shall record up
on tne back of his ticket for Governor
his nreference for Congress, as between
my self and the nominee of the ap
proaching Dalton Convention, and I
will abide the result.”
The Doctor says each voter; each vo
ter is each negro and oaoh white Radi
cal. Dr. Felton never made that prop
osition in good faith; he knew it would
not be accepted by the Democratic par
ty, and it ought not to be. It was a
pure bid for negro votes. He could
say, “my colored supporters, you see
the proposition I have made to these
ss 06 w hiCe Democrats, to allow each voter to
vote at a primary election to select a
Democratic ennaidate, and that has
been rejected; I thought you could
render the Democrats valuable aid in
the selection of their candidates, but
they refuse you the privilege; now, as
Dabney is the head of the refractory
Democrats, you cannot vote for him,
but each voter of you can vote for me.”
That- is the logic of Felton’s proposi
tion. I wonder what Felton and his
negro supporters would think of the
Democrats proposing to go into the
Radical family and select candidates
for them ?
There is another reason why I was
inclined to think it according to the
fltness of things for Mr. Hargrove to
have suggested to Dr. Felton the plan
of the proposition. It is this: Major
Hargrove is a leading Republican, and
is known to be a warm and ardent sup
porter of Dr. Felton. Major Hargrove
a known to be hard at work in the in
terest of Dr. Felton, with the members
of the Republican party.
When Dr. Felton arrived in Carters-
ville from Washington, the first weekin
August, he made a speech, but did not
declare himself a candidate. The mid
dle of the next week he went to Rome,
and I am told by good authority that
Maj. Hargrove was the first man who
called on the Doctor. He got to Rome
late in the afternoon of one day, and
left early the next morning. The next
morning on the train he said he was a
candidate, and would announce him
self formally in a few days.
Who doubts he consulted Hargrove
and got assurance of support? Who
doubts bis candidacy was dependent
on the contingency of Hargrove’s ap
proval or disapproval?
I have said Dr. Felton was in league
with the Republican party. I say so
now. In this campaign he has made
speeches in Cobb, Cherokee, Bartow,
Polk, Gordon, Chattooga, Whitfield,
Walker and Catoosa. I now defy any
man to repeat a word Dr. Felton ever
uttered for Tilden or Colquitt. I defy
any man to repeat a word he has ever
uttered against theeleotionof Norcross.
I defy any man to repeat a word he has
ever uttered in hostility to the election
of R. B. Haves. Hayes was a mem
ber of the.39th-40th Congress, and re
corded every vole be has ever cast on
all questions affecting the South, inim
ical to the interests, the rights and the
honor of the Southern people. I defy
any man to produce a word Felton has
ever uttered of information to the peo
ple on this subject.
This testimony is easily produced if
it exists. It does not, and Felton nev
er intends that it shall, for that would
countermand his bid for the Radical
vote- .
I said in my Dalton speech that he
never took ground in favor of Tilden
till I forced him to do it in my Car-
tersville speech. I repeat that here.
On the night of his arrival from
Washington he made a speech in which
he used this language:
Carterstille, Sept. 18.1876.
On the night of Dr. Felton’s arrival
in Cartersvifle from Washington he
made a speech to the crowd wnioh as
sembled to hear him. In the course of
his remarks he said that there was no
difference between the Northern Dem
ocrats and Northern Radicals in feel
ing towards the South. He spoke of
Tilden and Hayes as being pood, hon
est men. Said each political party
had put out their best men for Presi
dent and vice-President. Said the race
between Tilden and Hayes would be
doubtful. He also said not to give the
Democrats too large a majority; that
it would have a depressing and disas
trous effect on the North; that each
party in the North was,bent on getting
rid of the corruption in the govern
ment, and no matter which candidate
was elected it would be a great im
provement; and told an anecdote,
which ended : “anything, good Lord, for
a change." J. W. Pitchett,
R. W. Morphy,
R. S. Patillo,
G. H. Bates,
F. M. Walkeb,
J. E. Field.
To this statement of what Dr. Felton
did say, a large number of names could
be got in addition to those already to it.
Part of those given above were Felton
men in 1874. The purpose of Dr. Felton
in saying what he did on that “
clear to a blind man. He was bidding
for Radical votes.. While he was nomi
nally fbr Tilden,’W was throwing cold
water on the Democratic cause.
His statement that the issue wiw doubt-
ful was encouragement to the Radicals,
and discouragement to the Democrats.
Each party bent on getting rid of cor
ruption f” Dr. Felton knew better than
that when he said it. The Republican
)arty has been in power since the 4th of
March, 1861, and not a solitary Radical
rogue has ever been exposed till the
Democrats got a majority in the House in
December, 1876.
He says both parties put out their best
man. No one knows better than Dr. Fel
ton that Hayes as President will be clay
in the hands of Buch men as Morton and
others to be moulded to their will.
He talks of anything for a change.
We do not want a change of men only;
‘ e want a change of parties. We want
party the cardinal principles of which
are honesty in the administration of the
1 [overnment, and equality before the law
or the Confederate or Union man; for
the Northern man the Southern man.
I can see no good to the people of this
country in an administration Gov. Hayes,
when he.approves the administration of
Grant, ana will be surrounded by the
thieves, who have made Grant’s adminis
tration a stink in the nostrils of the
world.
This speecn of Felton’s was made the
first week in August. I made a speech
the third week in Apgust in which I re
plied to that part of Felton’s speech, and
showed by the record that Hayes while
in Congress Northern Radicals at his
side had voted for every measure of op
iression to the South, while the Northern
lemocrats to a man had voted with us.
Felton made a speech that same day in
the afternoon and stated he way for
Tilden.
But for my speech exposing the record
of Hayes he would never have opened
his mouth for Tilden, and there he said
nothing except that he was Tilden. .
In his printed address to the people
dated 28th August, 1876, he does not pen
a word, for the Democratic candidates.
He says that “ if Tilden and Hendricks”
are elected. He takes good care never to
mention their names in any other connec
tion and no word of counsel or encorage-
ment can be found in that paper for the
Democratic candidates. The name of
General Colquitt never appears in it at
all, no reference is made to him even.
Why all this ? do you ask—ho is bidding
for Radical votes.
His effort is to ride two horses through
this campaign, as he did in 1874. A
Radical horse and Democratic horse are
not homogenious; the people see the in
congruity, to say nothing cf the duplicity
of the performance.
I warn the Doctor now, to be successful
in bis role, he needs the diplomacy of
Richel ieu and the courage of Agamemnon.
I have shown what I promised. I now
say there is no excuse for the course of
Dr. Felton but the gratification of his own
selfish, ambitious end. The success of
the Democratic party and its candidates
and principals are nothing to him when
interposed in the path of his ambition.
To him the end is all—the means noth
ing. John W. Wofford.

Hints about the Latest Fashions
The furor for silver increases.
Catogun nets, black and colored.
Velvet skirts are again to beseen
Gold trimming on white silk is fash
ionable. .
Damask silk will be fashionable for
over-skirts.
Sleeves are narrow and many of
them have cuffs.
For autum wear the Louis Xlll style
will prevail.
Seal-skin trimmed with beaver can
not be worn with crape.
For evening wear, cashmer of all
soft shades will be popular.
Seal-skins alone may be worn in any
morning except a widow’s.
Siiver buttons in quantity will be
used on light woolen costumes.
A pointed Tyrolean hat, known as
the timbole, is rnuoh worn abroad.
Cravats and neckties promise to be
longer and wider than in past years.
Costumes made of satin and velvet
are talked about for the coming season.
Plain, long seal-skin jackets will be
more fashionable this winter than last.
Myrtle green of the darkest hue will
be much seen in stylish winter cos
tumes.
Embroidered lace will form a prom
inent feature in trimmings for evening
dresses. ,
Basques and overskirts will not be
completely superseded by the popular
polonaise.
Silk dresses will soon be at least 15
per cent dearer thin they were at the
same time last year.
The new browns are darker than
last year, and there are fewer gray sha
des than in previous winters.
There is a new work of China crepe
in preparation for winter ball dresses;
it is open work, with silk embroidery.
Bright shades of cardinal red are
preparing in Paris for underskirts, and
for trimming polonaises of delicate
colors. „ . '
A conspicuous feature in some of the
new polonaises is an immense bow
placed midway down the back of the
8 In'silks black and all dark colors
will be fashionably worn, and thegros-
graines of demi-luster, with medium
reps, wil be the most approved qual-
ity.
Umbrellas lately introduced in Lon
don have a veritable application wo
ven at the back of the silk where the
umbrella foldes; by this application
the wear snd tear comes in the parts
that are doubly strong, and the um
brella lasts twice the usual time.
