Another Convention.
The members of our County Executive
Committee having determined to resign
the duties imposed upon them by the re
cent mass-meeting of the people, the
Chairman has requested us to publish
the following call:
Thomson, Ga., Oct. 3, 1876.
To the Democrat* of McDuffie County:
The members of the County Executive
Committee, chosen by the last mass
meeting, for reasons which to them are
satisfaciory, having determined to resign
their offices, I do hereby call a mass
meeting of the Democrat-, of McDuffie
county t« assemble in Thomson on the
first . nesday in November next, for the
purpose of selecting another Democratic
Executive Committee for the county, and
to transact such other business for the
good of the party as to them may seem
necessary. W. D. Terr, '•
Chairman Executive Committee.
V isitors.
For some days past Thomsen has been
enlivened with the presence of a number
of visitors from Augusta. In additiou
to those mentioned in our Inst issue, the
Green wav Hotel has entertained as guests
Mrs. I’. F. Campbell, Drs. Baker, Stil
ling and Joseph E. Eve, and Capt. G.
Henry Aiieu, the Inst named gentleman
being a son of Maj. J. V. H. Alien, all
»f Augusta.
To the gentlemen of this company, in
eluding oiir old Tennessee fried, Mr.
F A. Timberlak -, the Journal office is
indebted for a number of pleasant social
calb. To W. Fred. Eve, Esq., and his
amiable and accomplished wife, we are
under many obligations for a very pleas
ant ami agreeable visit.
We are glad to learn that our visitors
are quite well pleased with Thomson and
its citizens, and trust that their stay
among us may be indefinitely protracted.
Personals.
Snowden,— Capt. Snowden, of the firm
of E. W. Marshall & Cos., Charleston,
him been stopping in Thomson several
days, on business connected with his
House. The Journal office is under
obligations to him for a pleasant visit.
Gross. — Our young friend, Mr. B. M,
Gross, left home Tuesday last, to renew
his studies in the State University at
Athens.
Moroan.—-Mr. J. W. Morgan, has
returned from his visit to the North and
the Centennial, blit Ills not yet honored
our sanctum with a call.
Mr. ii. S. Hudson.
We regret to learn that our young
friend has seen proper to sever his busi
ness connections with his adopted home,
and cast his lot elsewhere. We have
grown so accustomed to his genial,
pleasant companionship that his absence
will lie sorely felt. No young man of
our acquaintance has made more friends,
or acquired a more "deserved popularity
among our citizens during his residence
here than Ham Hudson. Honest, indus
trious and scrupnlously faithful to every
trust, he has commenced a social and
business career which, if it does not lead
to wealth, will certainly secure him the
confidence and respect of all with whom
he may be associated.
Removed.
Mr. Henry McKinney, for several y[-ars
the landlord of the Railroad Hotel in
this place, has removed, with his family
to Forsyth, which city for the future he
proposes to make his home. Himself
and his pleasant aud agreeable family
have made many friends during their
stay in Thomson, who regret the superior
advantages of their new home, which in
duced them to go. The evening of their
departure the Thomson Cornet Band
gave them a farewell serenade, ad quite
a number of friends called to bid them
adieu. Wherever they may make their
home, Air. McKinney and family have
our best wishes for their happiness and
prosperity.
King Ko, sovereign over a portion of
the island of Borneo, is shortly expected
in Paris with a numerous suite.
Last Friday the floors of third story of
a brick bnildingf in Springfield, Mass.,
upon which about 80,000 pounds of to
bacco had been stored, fell, buriying six
persons in the ruins, four of whom were
rescued badly bruised. The other two
supposed to be dead.
Weather and Crops.
From the scorching heat of snmmer
and early autumn combined, the weather
in one week has abruptly changed iuto
geaniue fall. For several days it las
been cool enough for fires during the en
tire day, and the nights and mornings
actually cold, with heavy frosts. Sum
mer suits have suddenly disappeared, aud
overcoats are in demand.
It is still remarkably dry. No rain of
consequence in any portion of the coun
ty for many days. The wells and water
courses are very low, and the streets aud
roads too dusty to travel with any degree
of comfort.
THE CROPS.
We have made dilligent inquiries of
paities from different sections of this
and adjoining counties, and we are sur
prised as well as gratified to learn that
the cotton crop, which a short, time ago
was thought to be serionsly damaged, is
turning out remarkably well, and will
certainly go far above an average.
Cotton is, this year, with most of our
plan*ers, a surplus crop. They have
raised an ample sufficiency of bread
stuffs and forage for both man and beast,
have bought comparatively nothing on
credit, and, although the price of cotton
is, inmost cases below the cost .of its
production, it will not bring the planter
in debt, nor i- he compelled to sell it un
der lien, hut whatever it may bring is
surplus money, to be used or not as he
sees fit. This is, we believe, the first
year since the var when such has been
the case.
Upon the whole, our country is in a
better condition, financially, than it has
been since the money panic of 1873.
Death of Mr. Samuel It Furtson.
I.ast week our entire community was
pained to hear of the death of this wor
thy young gentleman. He was the son
of Mr. B. B. Fortson, of Wilkes county,
was born July 1, 1850, and died at the
residence of b s brother-in-law, Mr. R.
8. Neal, in Colum in county, at 8 o’clock
a. m., Monday September 25, 1876. He
was buried at Pope’s Chapel, Wilkes
county. He died of dropsy of the heart,
from which disease he has suffered for
several years. He was a young man of
high moral charaster, loved and respect
ed by all who knew him. He leaves a
wife and child aud a very large circle of
friends and relatives to mourn his loss,
to whom we offer our respectful and
sincere sympathies.
Cyperus Gsciilentus.
Rev. W. T. Hamilton presented us
last week a sample of a small crop of
chufas, or ground almonds, grown in his
garden in this place. They were planted
last spring, between rows of watermelons
aud corn, and received nothing extra in
the way of cultivation. The yield, how-
ever, is very large.
We do not kn-iw why this vegetable is
not more generally cultivated in Georgia,
I is excellent for many purposes, and
never fails to repay the labor bestowed
upon it with liberal and profitable crops.
Don’t chufa-il to plant them next year.
The Wairenton Clipper.
Bro. Ham deserves much credit for
the many improvements of a general
character lie has effiefedon his paper,
but his Trade Issue of last week is espe
cially meritorious. It displays taste,
industry, ta’eut and labor, and should
receive the hearty commendation of his
patrons. His able and thorough report
of the busiuess transactions of Warrenton
reflect much credit vpon h:s own energy
a* well as the enterprise of the citizens.
The Clipper and its indomitable editor
have our heartiest wishes for continued
prosperity and success.
The Prseeut Cotton Crop,
The estimated cotton crop for 1875-’6,
as figured up by the National Cotton Ex
change, is announced as amounting to
4,632.3 3 bales. The information upon
which this estimate is based is considered
entirely reliable, and, therefore, may be
received as the true statement of the
present cotton crop.
The pool which was made up in Char
leston for the nearest estimate of the cot
ton crop, has been awarded to L. D.
Mowry of that city, whose figures were
4,633,893. He missed it only 1,080 hales.
This is the closest guessing we remember
of ever having seen.
Colored Campmeetinx.
Our colored friends of the Methodist
pursuasion held a campmeeting at Trini
ty Church, near Berzelia, in Columbia
county, commencing Thursday evening,
September 21st, and closing Sunday eve
ning ’ollowing. Revs. F. Ford, Presid
ing E.der of the Augusta District, and
R. J. Jones, preacher in charge, con
ducted the meeting, assisted by Revs.
U. J. Brown, Presiding Elder of the
Brunswick District, A. J. Stinson, Au
gusta Station, W. Williams, of the War
ren Circuit, and Henry Lofton, of the
Thomson Circuit. The fruits of their
services were six converts, thirty-one ac
cessions to the church, and about 814
collected for church purposes. The best
of order and good behavior prevailed,
and much interest manifested in the ser
vices.
Lincoln Comity Democracy.
The crowded condition of our columns
have prevented us publishing the names
of the gentlemen chosen at the last mass
meeting ot the Democracy to serve for
the ensirug two years as the Demo
cratic Executive Committee for Lincoln
county.
We, therefore, take this first opportu
nity to publish the following, for which
we are indebted to the kiudness of our
friend, Col. J. E. Strother :
Col. C. E. Ramsey, Chairman.
Capt. I. N. Mercier, Secretary,
J. C. Glendenning, J. E. Strother,
Henry Murray, C. R. Strother,

umns of the Journal this week.
T. C. HI.I'-'-i.
So well and favorably known to the readers
of our paper reminds the.m agaiu that he
can be fonnd at No. 279 Broad street. Au
gusta, with the finest stock of crockery,
glassware. Ac.. Ac., ever o.Vered to the pub
lic. and asks a continuance of his heretofore
liberal patronage. Bead his advertisement.
E. w. DODGE
Is anew candidate for the favor ami pa
tronage of onr people, and we believe he
deserves it. He is permanently located in
Augusta, and is determihed. by fair and
honorable dealing to increase and build up
a trade second to none in the South. By
re iding his advertisement in another col
umn our readers will see that the line of
business in which he is engaged is useful
and important. Nearly everybody needs
some of the articles in which he deals.
Give him a call, when you visit Augusta,
or send him an order.
E. H. ROGERS
Has long since thoroughly established him
self in the confidence of our people, and is
well known to many of our readers He
is at his old stand. No. 245 Broad street.
Augusta, Ga., and those who have dealt
with him will agree w ith ns, that he will
do all aud even more to please his customers
than almost any one else.
GUSTAV BTOIPEL
Is also an old acquaintance of our readers,
aud of whom his customers speak in the
highest terms. If your eyes are weak, do
uot tamper w ith them by using common
worthless glasses, but go to Stoepel, at 221
Broad street, Augusta, and get a pair that
will make you see as well as ever.
AUGUST DORR.
Any man who wishes to dress with the
fashion, or those less pretentious, who only
desire their clothing to be plain, but neatly
fitted, should give Dorr a trial. Ho never
allows a customer to go away dissatisfied,
and he warrants all his work. Many of our
readers have patronized him and can attest
the excellence of material he uses and the
work he does. See liis card in another co

i OHI'J UARY.
William Edgar Jones
j Died, in Brunswick, Ga., on Monday
j evening, September 18, 1870, of yellow
j fever, William Edgar Jones, aged 21
; years, 5 months and 18 days, youngest
son of Dr. James S. and Mrs. Susan
Jones, of Thomson, Georgia.
Death, at any time, is a sad remiudei
j of God’s omnipotence and man’s iucvit-
I able destiny; but, when the Palo Mes
senger appears suddenly and unexpect
edly, blanching the cheek and chilling
the heart of youthful, vigorous manhood,
the terrors of his coming are sadly dark
ened with the melancholy wrecks of j
cherished ambitions, and of hope, and
life, and love.
When Edgar Jones left the parental
hearth-stone and commenced the battle
of life, none had higher hopes or bright
er prospects of honorable success than
he. Os quick and vigorous mind, his
position in school and at the State Uni
versity was always at or near the head
af his classes. Choo .iug the Law as a
profession, his progress in its acquire
ment was marked with tee same ease and
rapidity with which he mastered every
thing he undertook ; and his brief career
at the Bar was crow no and with like suc
cess. Young, talented, warm-hearted
and generous, he went out into the
world with the precepts mid example of
a Christian father to guide him, and the
prayers of a pious mot her to shield him
from temptation. The love, and pride,
and hope of his family, and the kindest
wishes of many devoted friends, follow
ed him to the new field of his labors and
trinmpths ; and, when intelligence of his
death was received, their grief and tears
followed the loved and lost in sorrow ti
his stranger burial.
At the time of death he was a
member of of the E. Cli rch, South,
at. Thomson, and his life and consistent
Christian conduct confirmed the sinceri
ty of his professions. This is, indeed, a
holy consolation to his grief-stricken pa
rents and friends. And, while it is diffi
cult to reconcile our hearts to such fear
ful dispensations of divine Providence,
we are gladdened with the refleotoin that
behind this dark cloud of affletion the
rainbow of hope and faith and promise
spans tho dark and silent River, to the
beautiful shore beyond, where reunions
are eternal, and the chastening rod of
affletion is never known.
