Capt. Irvine * Rexpon*",
Mr. Editor:—l notice ia your last issue
a communication suggesting myself for
Representative, in the conclusions of
which I do not wholly concur, simply
because your correspondent views the
matter through tho partiality of friend
ship, and tho wish is, perhaps, father to
the thought.
For some years past my name has been
■ugeested in connection with tho office ol
Representative, which unintentionally
places mo in the embarrassing position of
office seeker. Hitherto, I have declined
to trouble the people in this matter; hut,
at present, 1 have concluded, in accord
ance with my own vi-ws, as well as those
of others, to submit nty name to the peo
ple, If they give legal expression to a
desire for my services, I shall discharge
the duties of tho position after ti o same
mant.er that I have all public duties
heretofore imposed on me.
Should I have opportunity, I will ad
dross the people upon the issues involved
in the present contest.
Thanking you for the oompliincntary
mention you make, 1 am, respectfully,
Nov. 11, 1877- W. T. Irvin*.
Don’t fail to bo at the election to vole
for ATLANTA for the Capitol, the
Homestead of 1877, the New Constitu
tion, and Hon. SAMUEL HAWKINS
for the Senate.
<■♦-
Hon. D. B. Hamilton.
Wo regret very much the courso the
Hon. ])• IS. Hamilton has decided to
take in reference to the Senatorship fot
the 42d Senatorial District. By all throo
of the countica it has been conceded
peacefully and quietly to Chatto iga, and
everything was working harmoniously,
until this gcntlon an, all of a sudden, has
■hot up, and claims that Floyd is entitled
toil, and he determines to tost his popu
larity upon the question. We think the
Roue Tribune states the matter very
pertinently, when it says:
“Wo find a card ill the
tl e 20th insL, nominating Mr. D. II
Hatniltou for Senatoi, on the grt uud that
WFloyd county is entitled to the term,
rThis may bo so, or it uiay not. and wo
arc inclined to the opinion that it is not;
but il it be so, then Mr. Hamilton is not
the man for the place, lie is not the
choice of the people of Floyd for Sen
ator, as was proved last canvas, when he
was badly beaten.
Col. King was tho choice of Floyd, but
was cheated out of it in favor ol Gamble.
He yielded then lo the decision of the
Convention, knowing that it was unjust.
He yields now in litvor of Judge Il.tw
kins.
Mr. Hamilton has tho right to run it
he wants to, but let him run oa his own
merits, and not try to in a county
prejud cu to help him out.
Now we feel certain that the people of
Floyd and Bartow wiH not suffer the
peace and friendly political relations so
long existing between the counties, to be
disturbed by the fire-bland thus thrown
into the canvas for Senator by Mr. Ham
ilton, induced to this course, no doubt, by
a few pseudo friends, it may be, scattered
in a few places in the three counties. It
is to be regratted that Mr. ilamiltou
should suffer himself possessed of such a
blind infatuation, just at this time, when
we were so near perfect peace and har
mony in the District, and that ko, in
open violation of all concessions b both
the counties, Bartow and Floyd, us to
induce him to pop up as a candidate,
directly ar.d emphatically ignoring what
seemed to all others so universally con
ceded, that ChuttuOga was entitled to
the balance of the Senatorial term-
It will be seen by reference to the pro
ceedings of a meeting held in this county
ob Suturduy last, that Chattooga is per
fectly satisfied with Iter undidate, tbo
Hon. Sami. Hawkins, he having received
tho unanimous endorsement of said meet
ing. Now don't it seem lair, as well as
manly, that Chattooga should have, and
in peace, what had oecti e needed to he. '!
There are three good men in the field
fo.- the I.e,kislature. Go to the polls and
select for yourselves, und vote for Hon.
SAMUEL HAWKINS for the Senate.
Judge A. R. Wright * Opinion
In the Borne Courier of tho 27th we
find a letter from this gentleman in rep’y
t> Dr. J. B. Underwood, ami some c.tlici
citizens of Cave Springs, win, inquire of
him which county of this Senatorial Dis
trict is entitled to the Sci ator? Itisn
reuiaAable production every way. lie
•ays jff'The claiiu of Chattooga I regard
as ridiculous, jpd wholly without foun
dution.” Wonderful discovery to be
made by ono man! Why did not the
people of the District consult Judge
Wrivlit u little earlier, and ask him who
they might nominate. Again he say:-:
“In my judgment, she (Chattooga) never
was (untied to it; if she was, i 01. Gam
ble ought to be the candidate. The ~Yu
ator.-hip is not transferable.”
J be Jud ;e, it will Le remembered, was
debut ed by Col. Gamble lust year, lie
received only a little over one hundred
votes in Chattooga, ui and ot course thinks
she ought not to have anything. But
how watchful he is of Col. Gamble, ami
says “the Senator'lt ip is n..t transfer
able.’ Suppose Col. G declines to run,
or suppose lie hud die,], whut then, Judge
W right? Col. Gumblc most positively
declined to lx- a candidate agai", and
Chattooga very respectfully suggested
then >me of Judge Hawkins to fill out
the unexpirud term, as wus the case when
Col. C Joop TANARUS, of lUrtow county, wn clour
oil to fill out Cos,. Wofford'" term. We
are<|ui aurpriaed that the in<j 4rcrs from
Cave Spring >houhl Lave .oujyit in for
nmtion from .Judge Wright. Wo hope
there i* no ax to grind. If the Senate is
not transferable, the House is not, ard
.Messrs Keece and Free uni i are entitled
to their p aees in tho next House, and
no man dare run against them- Wc,
therefore, are of tho opinion Judge
W right ia for Keece aid Freeman for the
Legislature.
The election takes place next Wednes
day, the 6th of December. Rise early
and go to your precinct and “vote tarty
and often” lor 11 on. 8A ML 11A W KINS
for the Senate, ho being the only candi
date of the county for the Senate, and
select the loan of your choice for the
Low r Mouse.
Grangers.
e understand there is some dissatL
faction among a portion of the grangers,
because wo did not publish the proceed
ings of a fair held by Salew lodge last
August. We assign the reasons. Iw the
first place, they were not handed iu to 11*
until about three weeks had elapsed, and
were then too late Tor the ensuiing issm
of our paper. Secondly, tlie*?covered
about four pages of foolscap paper, and
would have taker, up nearly three columns
ill the Gazette. We asked of the sec
retary to allow us to abridge, but he in
sisted on their insertion as written Hav
ing a good deal of other tnauf on hand,
we had to look out for a nu.'ri it
but its being so lengthy, postponed the
time until it was too late to
only to the immediate participtTutswfc
the fair.
The Master of Salew lodge knows full
well that wo have urged bun time and
again to write for our paper, and to get
others ot the grangers to do the surne,
ud we are always glad to get anything
that would benefit the community. But
del it be short, aud to tho point. ~ t
try to crowd to much in one article, and
don’t write on but ono side ot the paper.
All communications must be submitted
to the discretion of the editor.
The Cartersvillc Express very eheer
ingly says:
“Mr. Samuel Hawkins, of Chattooga
county, spent a day in our town last week.
He is the candidate of his trinity to flit
the uttoxpired tdfgai v iu the state Senate
to which his entitled unuer the
rotation system, which 0)1. Gamble was
elected to till and does TOt complete in
cotisequenoe of the new order of things.
Present indications point to the trium
phant election of Judge ilawkius.”
The above expresses the sentiment ot
Bartow county, und reflects the opiuior
and action' of every voter m the District.
*.♦!■ ■
Next Wednesday the voters of the
State will be called upon to vote for the
ratification of the New Constitution; loca
tion ot the capitol; Homestead of 1877;
Senators aud county tepreseutatives.

JUDGE HAWKINS
Unanimously Endorsed.
At a meeting of the citizens of Chat
tooga, held in Summerville, the 24th
inst., the following resolutions were
unanimously adopted:
Resolved, That as there are three gen
tieuieu ol acknowledged worth and ability
who have announced themselves as can
didates for the legislature, wo deem it
inexpedient for this meeting to ma e any
nomination for the Hou-e or Senate.
RiHolie.i, 'I fiat this meeting mo t cor

being subject to a District Convention
says:
“But therf has been Done, and it is
not likely there will la* one held as Bar
tow concedes the race to Chattooga, and
the Floyd County Convention took no
steps toward making a nomination ”
111 addition to this, why did the Courier '
transler our editorial stating that Floyd
conceded Chattooga’s right to its columns
without any dissent? Besides, we were
reliably informed by a gentleman who
was at the Convention, that our right to
the Seifator was conceded.
The upahop owhe matter is, Mr. H.
has long wanted, very much, to go to the
and no doubt in our mind, he
lias been tampered with in some way by
certain disaffected parties in Chattooga
and induced to run for the Senate by
somebody about Koine, w ho wants office, !
and thinks his election to the Senate will
be a stepping-stone thereto. Am i not
now “lair and just?”
Walker County Me**eng-er Again.
Our brother of the Messenger is out iu

favor of Milledg-eviile end against At

location of the Capitol. He devote* two
end a half columns Irotu other papers,
which he adopts as editorials, upon the
subject, besides this precious niorccau as
local, county news, for the eutertainment,

"That it am municipal corporation shall

ing or l uildhig a Uapitol, and the State
accepts the offer, t e corporation may

all obstruction, and paves the way for
Atlanta to fulfill her engagements. And
is there not as great probability of At

doubly assured that Atlanta will do all
she has promised? Would it not bo bol

l’h , are pcrtiueDt questions, and wo
ha l endeavor to answer them seriatim ,
and to the entire satisfaction of every J
dispassionate reader and enquirer after
the material points of its end and a m .
The order was established u, , cliy • :
Lomsviile in Jonc. IH7S. by persons who
tell that the vari .us 'T*!cms of relief to
the Minifies of deceased members, as
adopted b, other orders, were deficient
in important respects, and who believed
that an ord.r established with the pur
pose of paying a death benefit as one of
it' main objects, would meet with ap- ]
, rov*l and success. The astonishing |
growth of the Order has confirmed the ;
aisdom of its projectors.
The objects of tho order are,
Ist. To ip ite fraternally all accepts

4 To establish a fund for the relief
of sick or destituti members.
The Orde is gaining strength every
day. and it is predicted that at tic en i
of the rext six months there will be
60.1 HKI nuHtiVf. in the United States
Its perpetu’ty is -ucotie I beyon all doubt
or perad venture. Whilst insurance and
bankiitg c.otnpanics are failing every
day thi* O der has guarded every p >-
side danger, ’and th-* money remain
in tho pocketspf the membership until il
i< called for to pay the Widows and Or
phans B nefit Fund, when a number of
brethren have died, and the amount rais
*d from a previous call on all tve Lodges
has been exhausted. Every officer in the
Supreme Gran I, and Subordinate Lodge*
who has charge of the funds of their
respective Lodges, has to give bond with
approved security, for the faithful dis
charge of their important trust This
prevents any mishap in the peeu ,iry
intere-ts of the institution. Every dol
lar is accounted for, and there is never
enough arcnniulated at arty one time to
induce a man to steal, nn’ess he is natur
ally inclined that way, and then his sure
ties make good the detahviti m.
There is nothing in the workings or
tenets of the Order t* offend any gentle
man. An applicant must hs a man of
good moral character, between the ai cs
of 21 ami 56, and must undergo a thor
ough medical examination before he can
be initiated.
When a member dies, it is only neces
sary tn make application to the Supreme
Treasurer, stating tbs cause of doarh,
age of deceased, etc., and the money is
forwarded to the Trustees of tfce Lodge
of which he versa icon:her, to be paid
as he had directed. These Trustees are
under a heavy bond and cannot fi*:l in
their duty. No application has ever
failed yet. where the member and his
Letiye have compiled with the laws gov
trnir.g the Institution.
fa viev of these facts, and the great
uncertainty of human iitc. can any Order
offer greater iedcogpient-' to men of fam
il '-s tc avril themselves of such cheap
insurance? Membara under 45 years of
age only pay one dollar when there is a
call, aud these occur about once a mouth.
Here is a certainty of !2,000 for a niqn s
wile and d>pendent chiluren, when ne
has passed away, let any business man
calculate the interest ou that amount
for tweive mouths, .aid see how wonder
