Some of the objections urged by r.ur cor
respondent this week, against the plurality
rule in nominating Representatives and
county officers, are good. But there is hard
ly any plan so perfect but objections may be
made to it. If the election to these offices
is decided by a plurality vote, we can not
see why the nomination*—being second in
importance to it—should not be made in the
same way. The principal objection to the
“Conference Committee” suggested by our
correspondent, is, as he states, their recom
mendations will not be binding on any—-
it amounts to no nomination at all.
The nomination by districts, and by plu
rality of votes, seems less objectionable than
any plan which we have seen proposed.
But this is a matter to be deeiecd, we sup
pose, by the Executive Committee.
It seems that a day or two ago, Uncle Jack
Webb, an undertaker, undertook to over
take a mess of fish. He goes four or five
miles to the crcoK; unfurls his tackle; puts
on a worm; spits on his hook for luck; hap
pens to drop in where the fish are not abun
dant; sees a hole over in the shoals where
he knows he can catch a great many; has to
wade a slough waist deep to get to it: very
innocently pulls oil all but shirt, socks and
hat, an 1, instead of hanging his things on a
hickory limb, lays coat, britches and boots
on a flat inclining rock near the water’s
edge and, with poles in hand, fearless! y
plunges the stream, and makes tlie coveted
hole; fishes and angles away among the
mad cats and kittens with such intense hap
piness at the thought of carrying Ids recent
ly married lady a nice mess, (a nice mess it
was) that he is unmindful of the thundering
big cloud and rain a mile or two above. The
crek swells; Webb fishes: creek is rising
and assumes a deeper tinge; Webb looks
around, and at last is notified that if lie
hoped to sec home and friends once more,
now is tlie time or be forever lost; fetches
an excited whoop and, rushes along, plants
his foot on a slippery rock: his feet fly up,
and Webb feels round to see if lie hadn’t
busted the rock very badly; recovering from
the stun, thinks to himself, this will never
do; plunges, again, the slough where he had
crossed, now so high and switt as to wash
him far down the stream, e’er lie reaches
the landing, but he finally reaches it, and
with shirt all dyed with mud, seeks the spot
he left his other things. But where, oh!
where are they now ? In desperation he
realizes that the wild roaring flood had
swept them all away, boots, coat, panta
loons and all; and standing there, a gentle
man of GO, shivering in his shirt tail—what,
oh! what should he do? Didn’t fancy the
idea of going through town—true lie might
wait till night—but then, if he went home
in such plight, his wife Nvould give him—
well—can’t use his words on the occasion,
but he knew what he’d catch, and at last
concludca to send some more fortunate
friends to houses in the neighborhood to get
some clothes. They succeeded in getting
all but shoes and he came home barefooted
Don’t know what sort of a tale lie put up
at home.
The next day Coroner Nile Goyens, than
whom no age or country ever produced a
more vigilant Coroner, having heard that a
pair of boots, supposed by a mark on them,
to be MVebb’s, had been found two miles be
low Garsicle’s mill, without delay, heels
himself with testament &c., and rides in on
his cretur tor the purpose of summoning a
jury to go and search the wild waves
for 33 r cbb’s dead body to hold an inquest
over the same.

poiutment on seeing Webb alive and in his
“totlier” boots.

Communication. ]
Mil Editor:—Permit me to say to your
correspondent “I am its Enemy,” that I
have no disposition to press, or urge a “nom
ination,” or to dictate any particular plan:
but I merely desired to call attention to the
matter, believing that all who arc not aspi
rants for office, would on mature reflection,
sec the inexpediency and folly, (yes, more
th in folly,) of nominating a candidates by a
plurality vote.
If I desired to wire work myself into office,
I would ask uo better start, than a “nomina
tion ’ either Dy districts or en masse, at the
Court House, in which, the man getting the
highest number of votes, should be the nom
inee. 1 would drill and instruct a few con
fidential friends in different parts of the
county, to drum upas many of the man
ageable floaters as possible, assuring them
that there would bo plenty of “bust-head”
on hand; and on the day ot nomination, to
meet them promptly, with tickets ready cut
and dried, and say to them that it is a gen
eral understanding in all the districts, to
v >te for Mathews—that ho w ill get almost
the unanimous vote of the County—that it is
useless to vote for aii3 r one else, Ac , Ac.
(Every intelligent observer knows how
easily some men are excited and led into
measures;) meanwhile such men as have the
good of the country at heart—the sober,
thinking class, have each voted for the man
whom he thought most suitable, and their
votes are divided, perhaps among a dozen oi
more individuals, neither one of whom has
received as many voles as I have, though I
may not have received a majority, or even
one third of the whole number; but having
received a higher number than any other
one man, I am proclaimed the nominee.
And pity on the vain aspirant who attempts
to run up hill against a nomination. On
the other hand, rf a majority vote was nec
essary to a choice, the result would in all
probability, be different.
As to the two thirds rule, 1 have never
admired it; but merely mentioned it, know
ing it to be a time honored custom in this
county. Tour correspondent has however,
brought to bear some very forccahlc argu
ments in favor of that rule, although lie pro
fesses to be its enemy. If it was tlie two
third rule that prevented Martin Van Buren
from being elected President a second term,
the rule ought to be revered by every true
American. And according to x'ottr corres
pondent’s argument; if the two-thirds rule
had been adhered to and acted on in the
Charleston convention in 1860, they w’ould
in all probability, have compromised on
some honest, unaspiring man who had not
been wire working and dabbling in party
politics—who had not been a candidate, and
electioneering to be nominated, and who
might possibly have defeated Mr. Lincoln,
and averted the war. But if things had
not have been as they were, neither I, nor
your inimical correspondent can tell how
they wovld have been.
In the present, confused state of feeling,
in regard to a “nomination,” I think it
xvould be inexpedient to attempt anything
like what might be called a “regular built
nomination,” on any plan. I would there
fore suggest tor the consideration of the
steady, thinking class of voters, that some
of the prominent citizens from different
parts ot the county, sufficient in numbers
and character, to command consideration
and respect, meet together, and after ma
ture deliberation, recomend suitable men as
candidates, rot only for Representative and
county officers, but also for Senator: and at
the same time, appoint a Committee of con
ferenog, and invite Talbot and Harris to
meet them by similar committees, to confer
together, and cither indorse the recomenda
tion for Senator, or endeavor to agree upon,
and recommend some other. And it the
people accept such recommendations, well;
it not, let none be considered as bound, or
committed. Joel Mathews.

lution was adopted:
Resolved, That it is the sense of this
Society that Dr. McDowell should not be

to require a disclaimer from L>r McDowell
than from anv other Physician whose name

Hated in the card that it was the action of
the whole body, based upon the evidence
presented.
In view of this fact the Society asks
whether you will or will not retract at once,

Forsyth, Ga., June Bth, 1874.
At a called meeting of the Middle Geor
gia Medical Society, held this day, the
following preamble and resolutions were
read, adopted and ordered published in the
newspapers of this District.
By order ot the Society,
B. F. Rudisill, M. D.,
Is* Vice President
R. F. W ihght, Secretary.
\\ iie he as, At the last regular meeting of
tlie Middle Georgia Medical Society, tlieie
was a card read, adopted and ordered pub
Its lied, setting forth the unprotessional
Conduct of Dr W. A. C. Blalock, of Barnes
ville, Ga., and whereas tnis card has brought
forth a card horn Dr. Blalock, making a
violent assault on the personal and profes
sionul character ot Dr. G. 31. McDowell,
one of the members, we feel it our duty to
state to tlie public that Dr, McDowell is in
no way more responsible for tlie card pub
lish* and than any other individual member of
this Society. 1 lie action of the Society was
based upon the report of a committee ap
pointed by this body, sustained by the
accompanying evidence of several physi
cians, who testified to the facts alleged.
All professions are governed and controll
ed by a code of laws or rules and a violation
of these rules is a breach of professional
honor, and whenever violated it is not only
a privilege, but duty that the Profession
owes to tiie puMic to make known the of
lender, a#a justification of their act in cut
tmg off all prolessional intercourse with
him.
In publishing the card above alluded to,
the Society has simply performed a duty
which it owed alike to the public and the
profession. Therefore,
Resolved. Ist, That this Society re-affirms
the charges heretofore made against Dr.
Blalock it. the card set forth by this body
at its last regular meeting, and proclaim
that they alone are responsible for it.
Resolved, 2d, That it Dr. Blalock felt
aggrieved by the action of this body, it was
his privilege, as well as duty, to demand
from it tlie evidence on which its action was
based, which evidence would have been
promptly furnished. But in neglecting to
make this application the Society feels that
the plan resorted to by him, of violent and
personal abuse against one of its members,
indicates either an unwillingness, on his
part, to have the evidence made public, or
that be made it tlie opportunity for a vin
dictive and scurrilous attack on a high-toned
and honorable gentleman ot the Profession.

Society.

Forytii, Ga., June Bth, 1874.
Whereas, D.i. W. A. C. Blalock, in a
card published in the Barnesville Gazette,
states that this Society was organized by
Dr. McDowell as a trap to catch him, There
fore,
We, the undersigned original members,
do assert that this statement is incorrecb
It is xvell known by tlie community of
Barnesville, that there was an organization’,
of which Dr. Caldwell was President, in
operation after the war. This was not of
long duration. Two yeare prior to Dr. Bla ■
lock’s removal to Barnesville, another effort
was made to organize a society. Tiffs did
not succeed, blit in 1872 the Middle Georgia
Medical Society was organized at the sug
gestion of members, most of whom did not
know that such a person as Dr. Blalock
existed,
Our object w*ns then, and is now, for the

TO THE PUBLIC.
Barnesville, Ga., )
June 9th, 1874. f
It may possibly be expected, by some,
that I would notice, in some manner, a
scurrilous and slanderous communication
in the Gazette of last v*ek, signed by Dr.
W. A. C. Blalock. After insulting the in
telligence and self-respect of thirty five or
forty gentlemen, known to the public as
its most prominent physicians ami useful
citizens, by informing them that they are the
puppets of one man, whom he characterizes
as the vilest and meanest of his race, he
proceeds to make assertions which, fortu
nately for me, are known by every man,
woman and child in this community, aiid
by every physician in the State, to be
unqualifiedly false. There is not a person
in this community whose word is entitled
to credit, who will assert that I ever attempt
ed to “poison their minds” against tliis
person. On the contrary, Ido not doubt
nineteen twentieths of them will gladly
attest that I never referred to him directly
or by implication in their presence. There
is not a physician in the State who can. or
will, attest that I ever atempted to “poison
their minds” against tliis person. On the
contrary, there are many (all who kno w
anything of the subject) who stand ready to
testify th**t I more than exhausted every
honorable effort to put him in harmony
with the profession. Correspondence to this
effect, well authenticated, is now in my
possession subject to the inspection ot any
twelve honorable citizens of this communi
ty. Also, letters written by this person
liimselt, of very recent date, entirely con
tradictory of all his foul epithets. Also,
letters and statements of physicians abroad
who deemed it a duty ot the Society to in
form the public of Ids' true status, to relieve
them of the necessity of such action. He
does not even attempt to meet the tact that
he, in his first published letter, by w ith
holding tlie most important fact in his
possession touching the case, put a distin
guished physician, whom he named, in a
false positon before the public and the
profession, for a purpose of which the public
is capable of judging, which fact was fully
set torth in the Society's card.
Let it he distinctly understood that tliis
statement is to tlie public. He is entitled to
nothing at my bands. He voluntarily, and
of dliberate choice, placed himself where,
as every intelligent man has seen, he could
ask for no facts or explanation, either from
me or the Society. Being invited by the
Society to retract, (that he might have
opportunity to do so,) he again declined,
clearly showing that he did not desire it,
thus throwing away the last opportunity to
communicate with gent It men on the sub*
?>t desiring liis Dhtml, I fie, lino to nl
minister the chastisement whicli his conduct
invites, but leave him with nn outraged
public. Geo. M. McDowell.

Set Sled Beyond u Doubt —No One questions
the fact that more cases of whites, suppressed
an<l Irregular menses and uterine obstructions,
of every kind, are being dally cured, by Dr. j.
Bradrteld’s Female Regulator, than by all other
remedies combined. Its success In Georgia and
other States Is beyond precedent In the annals of
physic. Thousands of certificates from women
everywhere pour in upon the proprietor.—The at
tention of prominent medical men Is aroused in
behalf of this wonderful compound, and the most
successful practitioners use It, Its action is
pleasant, quick and sure. If women suffer here
after it will be their own fault. Female Regula

THE PUN-KILLER manufactured by PERKY
DAVIS & SON has won for Itself a reputation un
surpassed In medical preparations. The univer
sality of the demand for the Pa2n-Killer is a novel,
interesting, and surprising feature In the history
of this medicine. The Pain-Killer is now regular -
ly sold in large and steadily increasing quantities
not only to general agents in every State a no. Ter
ritory' of the Union, and every Province In British
America, but to Buenos Ayres, Brazil, Uraguay,
Peru, Chill, and other South American States, to
the Sandwich Island, Cuba and other West India
Islands; to England and Continental Europe; to
Mozambique, Madagascar, Zanzibar and other Af
rican lands; to Australiaa nd Calcutta, Rangoon
and otlie places In India. It has also been sent to
China, and we doubt it there Is any foreign port
or any inland city In Africa or Asia, which is fre
quented by American and European missionaries,
travelers or traders, into which the Pain-Killer
has not been Introduced.
The extent of its usefulness is another great
feature of this remarkable medicine. It Is not
only the bett thing ever known, as everybody will
confess, fer bruises, cuts, burns, &c., but. for dysen
tery or cholera, or any sort of bowel complaint, it
is a remedy unsurpassed for efficiency and rapidi
ty of action. In the great cities of British India
and the West India Islands and other hot climates,
It has become the standard medicine for all such
complaints, as well as dyspepsia, liver complaints,
and other kindred disorders. For cough3 and
colds, canker, asthma and rheumatic difficulties
it has been proved by the most abundant and con
vincing trials and testimony, to be an Invaluable
medicine. The proprietors are in possession of
letters from persons of the highest character and
responsibility, testifying In unequivlcal terms to
the cures effected and the satisfactory results
produced, In an endless variety of cases by the
use cf this great medicine. That the Pain-Killer
is deserving of all its proprietors claim for It is
amply proved by the unparaleiled popularity It
has attained. It is a sure and effective remedy.
It Is sold in almost every country In the world,
and Is becoming more and more popular every
year. Its healing properties have been fully test
e.i, all over the world and It need only to be
known to be prized.
Sold by all Druggists. Nay 23,-1 m.
