OF FLOYD.
Remember These Things.
'N c wish every voter in Chattooga to
bear in uiin<l, that all of Dr. Felton’s de
nunciations of ring*,"Cliquy, conventions,
etc., are but clap-trap fuluiinutions, in or
der to lead astray tho people from the
main points ot issue.
Dr. Felton said before the mooting of
tho Calhoun convention, two years ago,
that if Col. Dabney was nominated, he
would not run. But Mr. Trammell was
nominated. Gen. W. T. Wofford an
nounced in a speech in Summerville tho
other day, that Dr. Felton was put out as
a candidate by a few friends in and about
Uartersville; and that Dr. Felton had
been in a convention sometime ago, on
the lino of Paulding and Cass counties.
Now, what’s the difference? Doctor
Felton has been tho subject and partici
pant in rings, cliques, caucuses, conven
tions and the like, nnd been put out as a
candidate by such, tho same ns
Uol. Dabney has been nominated by a
convention, oniy that Col. Dabney has
been put forth by acclamation of the peo
ple of the district in convention assembled.
Does it not appear that Col. Dabney is
the people’s candidate, while Dr. Felton
is Dr. Felton's candidate, and tho candi
didntc of a few people, who, as General
Wofford says put him forward? All of
tho Doctor’s tirade against rings, cliques,
etc., arc designed to prejudice the popu
lar mind against the regular nominations
of tho party, and to gain himself votes for
a return ti Congress. Let every voter in
the county bear these things in mind, and
vote accordingly.
A Suggestive Fact.
There is one fact that should attract,
nnd be suggestive to every tiue patriot.
It is this; everywhere candidate has rue
or is running for office, republicans are
either directly or indirectly giving them
aud comfort, lt was so in this the
424 Senatorial district last election. It
aao in the 4th Congressional district, in
swhieh Henry W, Hilliard is an Indepen
dent It is so in this the 7th Congres
sional district, in which Hon. William 11.
Felton Is an Independent
Can any other reason bo assigned for
this fact, other than it is the purpose and
desire of the republican party to break
up the organized democracy, if possible?
This is no time to temporize, or to be
led astray front the path of duty, by or
through personal preferences. W hile we
may prefer one man above another on
some accounts, yet, in socking or deter
mining out country’s host interest, we
should always give weight to our “pre
ferred” man’s surroundings and associa
tions. The old adage, “tell me tho eom-
pany you keep, and I’ll fell you who you I
gre, ' is a very true oue, and-
Well to political nt*- .‘applies as !
vide* 1 _ce-neckers, as to indi- j
... and social every day life. If a man |
professing to he a democrat, and seeks
the favor and associations of republicans,
there are prompting motives, and correl
ative advantages and profits in expeetan
cy for support rendered. Such being the
case, (he cause of democracy is in that
ratio impaired.
This being the ease, it is a very impor
tant matter that every democrat stand by
his colors, and suffer net himself to he i
led astray by the error of the wicked re
publicans, who would distract the demo- i
cratic ranks. Then let every man on 1
7th irist., cast his vote for D'eney, TilJon
and Hendricks.
ltcmocrats of Summerville district! are
you ready for the contest? Let us appeal
to you by your past triumphs to he up
and doing. Remember that the destiny
of yourselves and families, depends on
your action next Tuesday.
True and tried veterans of Trion dis
trict! show your faith by your works, and
give a united vote for Dabney and Tilden.
Gallant men of Teloga! make one grand
rally in behalf of our nominees. Work
diligently, an 1 victory is yours.
The “tenth legion” Democracy of Al
pine! who never yet faltered in an organ
ized fight, come up as one man on the
day of the election, and cover
yourselves ail over in glory in battling for
Dabney and Tilden.
Democrats of Dirtsclier! we know you
aro panting for the fray! March on in
solid column, and you will rejoice the
hearts of your brethren all over the coun
ty, on the evening of the election.
Untorrified and gallant Democrats of
Ooldwater! ever ready and ever willing
to be thrown in the fiercest part of the
battle make one grand surge all day long
next Tuesday, and rejoice the hearts of
every friend of Dabney and Tilden.
Undaunted ami solid column Democrats
of Seminole! you cannot fail to do your
duty. Breathing the pure zephyrs that
have swept over your brethren of Ala
bama, you will rise in your might and
majesty, anil give a rousing vo'c for Bub
ncy and Tilden.
Men of Dirttown! noble sons of noble
sires! you never waver in the discharge
of your duty. Come weal or woe, Dirttown
stands by her colors. Buckle on your
armor, and hurry to the front, and let
your battle cry he victory, or a hard fight.
One more long pull; one more strong
pull, and one everlasting pull and Dabney
and Tilden are triumphantly elected.
Dear Democrats of I laywood! although
mentioned lust in the order of districts,
you me tha first in our heart's warmest
affections. A mighty conflict awaits you,
and your brethren all over the county,
arc feeling a lively interest in your suc
cess next Tuesday. Be vigilant! be at
your post of duty, if it is in shooting dis
tancc of your enemies, and Heaven grunt
that such u victory may bo gained by you
in this contest, that one loud huzza may
go up from Broomtown and Chattooga
vallius that you muy be able to hear at
Subligna, and the regions round-about.
Gain such a victory, Democrats of Hay
wood, for Dabney and Tiiden, that the
Democracy in other districts will be pour
ing fresh oil on the Democratic altars all
over your district. Three cheers for Hay
wood! may she redeem and regenerate
herself next Tuesday.

“Dabney lie; an unqualified lie; origi
nated by Dabney men to injure me.”
Wo deeply regretted to hear such
language used by l>r. Felton, when inter
rogated about the report which has been
so widely circulated, that the door of the
court house was intentionally closed
against him, when he caiue here to speak
on the 14th of September last.
How sad to hear such language used by
a holy man of God in a stump speech.
O temporal 0 mores! Oh Dr. Felton.’!
How much better it would have sounded
to have said, “Gentlemen, I never heard
this report before, and if it hs been cir
culated, it was done without my knowl
edge or consent.” It sounds harsh to
hear the lie given under any circum
stances, even when wicked men under the
influence of mean whiskey, resort to it,
but to hear a professed follower of the
meek and lowly Savior, using such lan
guage, and without proper occasion, the
heart sickens and every admirer of Chris
tianity should drop a tear.
We would advise Dr. Felton to read
carefully tho 11 th verse of the 6th chapter
of First Timothy; “But thou, 0 man of
God, flee these things; and follow after
righteousness, godliness, faith, love,
patience, meekness.”
The Uartersville Repress says: “Mr.
Samuel Sheats, the Republican candidate
for Congress, authorizes us to state that
any charge to the effect that he is run
ning in the interest of Uol. Dabney is an
infamous falsehood, and we believe it.
He who says that he is so employed
Sheats denounces as a liar.”
Let everybody fully understand, that
Mi Sheats is running in his own interest,
and for the interest direct and emphatic
of his own , irty, and not for Ctl. Dabney
as is falsely alleged.
.YflIE FOR DABW i Y ’ AND HENDRICKS NEXT TUESDAY.
A Stime and Scandal.
It will be soen by the following order,
that the United States urmy has been
ordered to South Carolina:
War Department.
Washington City, October 17.
General IV. T. Sherman, commanding
iJnittsd Statm Arm;/ :
Dear Sir —ln view of the existing con
dilioti of affairs in South Carolina, there
is • possibility that the proclamation of
the president of this date may he disre
garded. To provide against such a con
tingency, you will immediately order all
the available force m the military divi-'iun
of the Atlantic to report to ,’,en. Rugcr,
commanding, at Uoiumbia, South Caro-
I <t|i, a;al instruct that officer to situate
tits troops in such localities that they may
be most speediiy and effectually used in
the case of resistance to the authority of
the United States. It is to he hoped that
a collision may thus he avoided, but you
will instruct Wen. Huger to let it be known
that it is the fixed purpose of th t govern
inent to carry out fully the spirit of the
proclamation and to sustain it by the
military force of the general government,
supplemented, if necessary, by the militia
of the various States. Very rcspectfulty,
Your obedient servant,
J. D Cameron,
Sec'y of IV ar.
The question very naturally arises, why
so? Is the State insurrectionary? Not
at. all. Several of the most prominent
Judges, of the Supreme and Superior
courts of the State, hear testimony to the
good order existing throughout the State,
save an accasional outbreak precipitated
by the Republicans themselves.
But under the pretense that colored
Republicans in the Slate will not he al
lowed to vote in accordance witli their
honest convictions, the whole army of the
Union is ordered tluther to enable them
to do so. If South Carolina is republican
as is claimed for it, does it not seem
strange that it will require the entire
National army to enable the majority to
exercise their electivo franchise? Are
the many afraid, or intimidated by the
few or by a minority? No; that is not the
reason. The true reason, as we think, is
very justly and truly stated by the New
York Herald in these words:
“Three parties are in the field—one for
Hayes and Chamherland, one for Tilden
and Hampton, and u third for Hayes and
Hampton. To the last names a consider
able number of prominent and influential
republicans belong, and under their
guidance and instruction large numbers
of colored men have determined to vote
that ticket.” And “this federal inter
ference attempts, and is meant to deprive
them of that right. It. not only deprives
th, >ni, but it also interferes with the rights
of those negroes, very considerable in
number, who mean to vote the democratic
ticket outright, Tilden and all.”
In short, the whole matter is intended
so to interfere with the free exercise of
tile poor colored people, and a certain
cltss of whites, so-as to awe them into
subserviency to vote for Chamberlain.
Is it not a shame and a scandal on the
great government of these United States
to lower its dignity to interfere in a parti
san candidate, who has shown himself so
entirely unworthy the position ofgovernor
of a State? The people aro being pro
scribed by the President, by the issuance
of this order. Oh ! shame.
We earnestly desire our readers to pon
der well the following from a cor
respondent of Freeman s Journal, upon
the Presidential campaign:
“Can you-conceive of a more appalling
calamity which could befall this unfor
tunate country, at this time, than the
loss of the reform party's majority in the
House of Representatives? It would be
a ratification of all tho extravagance and
corruption which have disgraced the past.
It would he virtually saying to the robbers
who have so long held the country pros
trate at the feet—proceed with your
work of destruction ; you have authority
to assign and deliver to yourselves and
friends all that remains unstolen of the
public lands and other property, to tax
the impoverished people to your heart’s
content, and to do whatever else in the
premises you may see fit. I believe it
would be the hell which would summon
tho noun try to prepare for general bank,
ruptcy- Pestilence and taurine would he
welcome visitors in comparison with it.
Sorely merciful heaven will spare us such
an affliction.
“1 say, therefore, in full view of the
work which is before us, let us strain
every nerve and leave no honorable means
untried to bring to the ballot-box the
very last vote for the Tilden and Hen
dricks reform ticket, and let us rest sati
fied with nothing less than that, foi in
that alone lies our safety.
“That good friend ot the human race,
the author ot that marvel of State papers
(the Declaration o! Independence) among
many other valuable legacies, left us this:
‘The people must make their selection
between economy and liberty on the one
hand, and profusion and serritude on ihe
other.’ ”
Glorious Tidings.
The soul-stirring news comes up from
every quarter that Tilden and Hendricks
are on gaining ground. Late advices
represent the gtoat Northwest ia a blaze
for them, and New York, New Jersey,
Connecticut and the entire South set
down as certain. The day of deliverance
is near at hand, shout, wo are j
on gaining ground.” !
Remember the election is next Tuesday
: the 7th of November. Don’t go poking
up to the polls on Wednesday to vote and
j say yuu did not know it was oriTuesdav!
Major Hargrove is the most active,
zealous and untiring supporter of Doctor
Felton in Floyd county, if not in the dis
trict. He is making speeches for him,
and using his entire influence wherever
, he can to secure the election of Felton.
Ladies ! Dear Ladies!! see to it that
your husbands, brothers and lovers are at
the polls next Tuesday. Don't provide
dinnci fur them on that day, until they
can assure you they have voted for Dab
ney and Tilden.
See that your neighbors, white and
colored, who are for Dabney and Tilden,
are provided with a conveyance to the
polls. Isit the Vigilance committees go
QUt into the highways and hedges, and
see thrt no voter remains at home.
Will the proper authorities in Haralson
and Paulding counties, please let it be
known how they vote this time. Gov.
Smith had to send a special messenger
two years ago to get their official vote,
i Please send it irt early, and with 500 ma
jority for Dabney and Tilden.
Let every Dabney and Tilden man rise
bright and early on next Tuesday morning,
and after offering an humble, fervent
prayer for the success of our cause, get
his breakfast and hasten to the polls, and
“vote early and often” for Dabney and
Tilden.”
The editor of the Uartersville Etc/,rest,
says Z. B. Hargrove has admitted to him
both verbally ami by letter, that he did
write that letter to Col. Goodwiu; and
adds, “No democrats can be deceived as
to the purpose of Major Hargrove in
aiding in the split in the democratic
party.”
Zaek Hargrove praises Felton and
urges the people to vote for Felton, ami
Felton praises Hargrove and extols him
to the skies as being a gentleman of me
first water. Cause: Zack wants to retain
the Rome Postoffiee, and Felton wants
Hargrove's influence to get hack to Con
gress. Zack tickles Felton, and Fulton
tickles Zack.
Some writer has said: “When a man
wants office had enough to become an In
dependent candidate, it is about time to
put a fly plaster on his spine.”
If this be so, and the remedy proposed
be decided upon, the doctors throughout
the land may find it a profitable business.
We believe it is orthordox that a spin il
affection disjoints the mental faculties,
and causes the afflicted one to say and do
many things ho would not otherwise do.
If so, the sooucr the Independent “strike
in,” or fever be arrested the better; and
an early application of the “fly plaster on
the spine" is suggrsted.
-*• ♦ •.
While Sam Sheats is the regular nomi
nee of tho republican party for the 7ih
Congressional district,-Maj, Hargrove will
not vote for him for reasons which lie says
he will not now mention, hut abuses
Dabney; hut extols Dr. Felton to the
skies, and advises all republicans to vote
for him. Why not slick to his own party?
Is it not because he sees no chance lor
the election of Sheats, and that he has
formed an “alliance both offensive and
defensive witli the Independents,” in
order to thwart the election of Dabney,
and to promote the election of Felton, on
the consideration that Felton secs to it
that Hargrove retains t'>o l’ostoff.ee in
Rome? And lbr this purpose democrats
are asked to ignore Dabney, the regular
nominee of the party, and to vote for
Felton. Will they do it?
The New York Herald , in a leading
editorial on "Federal intervention in
South Carolina," takes a broad view of
the subject, and sees very eleatly that
such intervention may apply sooner or
later to the North, and gives the following
timely wanting to the people:
“This question relates not to South
Catolina alone. This unconstitutional
and dangerous practice of federal inter
ference in election goes on now, in the
midst of tho canvass, with the consent of
of the republican party managers and
with the silent as.-etit of the republican
candidate for the Presidency. It is a
part ol the polity of the party, indeed, its
chiet and only policy, for its speakers
protes* no desire lor reform. They say
nothing of hard money, of civil service
abu-es, ot economy; they tell us only oft.
"united South,” and boast of their des
patch of troops to different States. Are
we, then, to have another four years of
this perilous interferenceby the federal
power in elections? So far as any citizen
can toll by readiug the republican party
organs or liste: ing to republican speakers
such is the determination ot the party
leaders. They are determined toreinsue
themselves in power by these means.
Who shall assure us that four years hence
they will not use the same means, the
same force, once more to re-elect them
selves and their corrupt Southern allies?
The question is very grave; it has many
serious sides to it. It forebodes dangers
so much greater than even the most
‘inspired’republican orators toll us would
follow a democratic victory, that, taking
their words for it, a prudent voter, having
a stake in the country, would risk the
democrats rather than such a republican
policy,”
How Felton Replied.
To the Editor of The G(tootle:
\\ c do not wish to make ourselves con
spicuous by newspaper communications,
hut would like to have space for a few
thoughts relative to the interrogatories
presented to Dr. Felton, for an explana
tion as to the report in circulation, that
lie was locked out of the court house.
We all know that it was not done; never
theless, the report was circulated, and
the county officers were charged with the
offense. Did they not have a right to
demand of Dr. Felton an explanation as
to its circulation, and especially as to its
circulation in Bartow county?
Was it not Felton's duty as a candidate
for office, asking the free and indepen
-1 dent voters for the support, to explain
) coolly and deliberately, without becoming
so much irritated, and denouncing it as au
unmitigated lie, gotten up by Dabney
men for his injury?
If he had denied giving aid to it circu
lation, or authorizing others to do so, we
think it would It ive been received as
truth, and been satisfactory to those a-k
j ing an explanation. But in the place of
’ that, he charged the whole of it to Dab
ney tuen, whom we all know to be inno
! cent of the charge. For we know the
I originator, and those who gave it eiitmla-
I tion in Chattooga, and know them to be
■ supporters of Dr. Felton
Now. we have great respect for Doctor
Felton, and especially for the profession
ihe represents —the ministry. lie was
not troubled until he had made his speech,
j thanked the audience f r their good at
tention and behavior, and wa ready to
j take his seat, whi n the written interrogu
! lories published in last week’s issue were
i handed him. He, in place of trying to
1 explain satisfactorily to those who felt
they had been wronged by the circulation
of said report, denounced it in the strong
est and bitterest of terms, as an unmiti
gated lie.
We think if the Doctor had known that
it was his supporters he was denouncing
as originating ami circulating an unmiti
i gated lie, he would not have done so.
We all, of Chattooga county, know that
it was supporters of L>r. Felton, who eir
eulated the report here, and they them
selves will not deny it. If it had been
Dabney, Gov. Tilden or anybody else,
the way the tiring come up, it would have
been the same way.
But Dr Felton disclaims having been
detained at all on account of the court
house being locked, when ho reached it;
ami, also all knowledge of raid report,
which ought to quiet his supporters, and
satisfy those charged with the offense.
But were we the originator of the re
port, to he denounced as a liar, and
among those who circulated it, as eirou
laling an unmitigated falsehood, we would
think again before easting our ballot for
the man who had thus denounced us as a
liar. Chattooga.
Summerville, Oct. 3d. SH76.
The Uartersville Repress says ‘ Plucky
little Zaek is the most prominent and
conspicuous supporter of Dr. Felton at
Rome. Judge Wright, one of the most
brilliant orators in Cherokee Georgia,
sinks into utter ii s gnifieance beside
Hargrove as a champion of Dr. Felton.
He is the man most vociferous in his abuse
of the organized Democracy after Doctor
Felton. He is the man who proposed to
Goodwin to form an ‘alliance offensive
and defensive with the independents as
between Felton and Dabney' hi order to
make 'war to the knife' against the Demo
cratic party. This is the man whoculuii
nated here last Saturday in a Radical
speech against Col. Dabney and in favor
of Dr. Felton in a ‘war to the knife'
against the Democratic party.”
And yet there are democrats who will
vote for Dr. Felton over Gol. Dabney the
regular nominee of the democratic party.
liOt every one he careful how he joins
the "alliance offensive and defensive with
the” radicals “as between Felton ami
Dabney.”
—-♦ •.
As this is the last number of our paper
that will be issued until after the election,
it is quite important that the county
should bestir itself to ea-t a decided ma
jority for both Congressional and presi
dential interests. The radicals in all parts
of the country are makiug desperate ef
forts to get control of the House of Rep
resentatives at Washington. They have
gained five Congressmen in Ohio and
three from Indiana. Shall they gain any
from Georgia? And will Chattooga con
tent herself with sending any other than
a decided and positive democrat, one that
will be under no obligations to deal out
spoils of office by his influence to our op
ponents? We put this question to each
and every voter: Will you not be up and
doing, and use your utmost endeavors to
get every man in the circle of your ac
quaintance, to east his vote for Dabney,
Tilden and Hendricks.
Good news come from ail parts of the
7th Congressional District, that the or
ganized Democrocy are at work, fighting
gallantly for our nominee, hut Col. Dab- I
ney is a high-toned, dignified gentleman,
who ought to receive the unaninous vote ’
of the Democracy Let his majority be
thousands instead of hundreds.
