“NEVER MIND.”
Whftt’f the use of always fretting
At the trials we shall find
Ever strewn along our pathway?
Travel ou and “never mind.”
Travel onward; working, hoping,
Cast no lingering glance behind
At the trials once encountered
Look ahead, and “never mind.”
What is past is past forever;
Let all fretting be resigned;
It will never help the matter
Do your best, and “never mind.
And if those who might befriend you.
Whom the ties of nature bind.
Should refuse to do their duty,
Look to Heaven and “never mind.”
Friendly words are often spoken
When the feelings are unkind;
Take them for their real value.
Pass them by, and “never mind.”
Fate may threaten, clouds may lower,
Enemies may be combined ;
If your trust in God is steadfast.
He will help you; “never mind.”

THE SEVENTH DISTRICT.
/lon. Win. //. Felton:
Sir: —You cUiin to l>e the favorite of
the people of thin District. The leading
; objection which you urge against the
1 nomination of Judge Lester is that it was
| not a representative act, since the people
. had already twice declared their preference
! for you at the polls. This is also the
argument Mr. Stephens makes for you.
He says that nominations by party organi
zations ‘‘should bo controlled by views
looking to the ablest and truest men
representing the principles of the party,
and to the favorites of the people.”
You will observe that the nominee
should always “represent the principles of
the party” and bo “a favorite of the peo
ple.” Hut to be a favorite of the people
is not of itself a sufficient qualification.
The nominee of the Democratic party
must be a representative Democrat—
“representing the principles of the
party.”
Now, sir, the living principle of De
mocracy for the last thirteen years has
been organized legal protest against
oppression. Even your fiiend, Mr.
Stephens, says “party organization 1
believe in. ’ Mr, Hill has eloquently
warned the people against its abandon
ment. William E. Smith, whose former
indorsement was your boast, has re
nounced you because you are trying to
destroy that cohesion without which party
principles are useless, and are seeking to
disrupt that organization by which alone
Democracy can free this country from
misrule and restore the blessings of good
government.
Now, why should you he supported by
Democrats, when your election would be
the triumph of a war made by your Re
publican allies and your personal friends
upon the organized Democracy? The
issue is unmistakable You ridiculo all
opposition as coming from “the organ
ized.” Every Radical in the District
takes the cue and sneers “organized."
Their reason is plain. They have avowed
their object to he to break up the Demo
cratic organization by uniting with you,
because the organization prevents the ac
complishment of Republican work and
the promulgation of Republican ideas (i.
e., the ideas advanced by Middlebrooks
and Brown). On the sth of October,
1878, at Si ring creek, in Floyd county, a
negro declared in his public speech that
Hargrove had told him that “we must
vote for Felton because that would split
up the Democratic party so that in a few
years we could do what we pleased with
it.” This statement, so far as lam in
formed, has never been denied. I repeat,
therefore, that the reason why Radicals
unite with you to break up Democratic
organization is plain. Rut why sh mid
true and honest Democrats aid him? Let
us consider.
Mr. Stephens concludes that the nomi
nation made by the Ringgold Convention
was not a representative act, because you
are ti e representative of the party and
the lavoriteof the people, as apparently
shown by your majority of 2,402 in the
election of 1876. But it is evident from
the fact that your tight is made directly
upon the organization (which Mr.
Stephens believes in), and from the other
fact that you are aided by the Republican
party with the avowed purpose of break
ing up the Democratic organization, that
you can in no sense be said to be the rep
resentative of the Democratic party. You
may represent the personal preference of
some good Democrats and a multitude of
Radical negroes; but you are certainly not
the representative of the Democracy if
this District.
The attention of the people has been
drawn to the fact that there are 4,109
colored voters in this district, besides the
SUMMERVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, OCTOBER 31, 1878.
number over 00 years of age. Your little
sheets in attempting to account for that
“awful 2,399,” claim that every man of
them voted. Every observant citizen
knows that over 3.900 of them voted for
you. We all know, too, that the white
Radicals of the district voted for you
solidly. Now, if we take this white and
colored Radical vote, amounting to over
5,000, from your aggregate of 13,269, and
contrast your Democratic 8,269 remainder
with Dabney’s 10,807, (all Democratic,)
what becomes of Mr. Stephens’ pretense
thot the election of 1876 showed you to be
the favorite and representative of the
Democracy, and entitled you to the nom
ination by the Ringgold Conveuti m? I
have expressly excluded from notice in
this view all those 2,399 suspected ballots,
which your editors, like detected thieves,
arc trying to account for. If they should
be counted out, yonrstatus as a "favorite”
of the Democracy becomes still more con
temptible. I put it to the people. These
facts and figures arc plain, notorious and
undeniable. Consider them calmly. Re
member how and by whom Dr. Felton was
elected in 1876, and then answer in your
hearts: Had Dr. Felton any right to the
Democratic nomination in 1878?
But Mr. Stephens says that that ma
jority of 2,462 shows that you then had
the confidence of your constituents. Does
Mr. Stephens mean confidence based upon
a belief in tbo integrity of your Democ
racy, or the “confidence” indicated by
the ballots of the repeater and the
"colored excursionists” from Alabama?
I need not again remind you that you
claim to be the free choice of the people.
You denounce every man who confronts
you as “corrupt." Every act of opposi
tion is a “trick.” Neither the living nor
the dead are safe from your rank breath.
I will judge you fairly. I should merit
infinite scorn oven if I fouled my hands by
laying your own filthy measuring rule
upon your own acts and declarations.
I have twice reminded you that your
friends are saying that you spent so much
money in the two preceding campaigns
that, you could save nothing out of your
salary. I asked you if you toll Rev. W.
U- Richardson, of Wit tfiold county, that
after your first election you hoped you
would have been elected the second time
without much opposition, but the opposi
tion had pressed you so hard that you had
been compelled to spend a great deal of
money, and that, counting your whole
expense, you had made nothing, but had
been compelled to draw on your private
resources, and that your mind was made
up to run again, with the hope that you
might be side to get even or whole, and
that you would ho satisfied if elected
without much opposition the third time.
I am informed that, since the publi
cation of my question, Mr. Richardson
has renewed hie assertion that you did
use the substanoe of the language asked
about,. Your ardent friend asserts it.
Yon will not deny it. Wo may, there
fore, and without injustice, assume both
the fact that it was uttered by you and
that you told the truth when you said it.
I beg my oountrymen to read carefully
the statement made by you to Richardson-
It shows:
1. That you have spent in the two
preceding campaigns an amount of money
not required or warranted by the legiti
mate demands of a fair race and a fair
election. You have drawn perhaps
$25,000 as salary and mileage; $2,500 per
annum is a liberal estimate for the expenses
of yourself, your wife and your one child.
This leaves a balance of $ 15,000 expended
in “campaign purposes.” And yet you
boast, and Mr. Stephens boasts, that you
are the free and unbought choice of the
Democracy. Was there any connection
between that $15,000 and that colored
excursion train run from Alabama into
Floyd arid Gordon at and Whitfield counties
on election day in 1876? Ido not assert
it, but your silence is fast converting ex
cited suspicion into deliberate belief.
2. You are running again to“geteven—
or whole.” Mark that, my countrymen!
He wants to “get his money back.” God
help our simple souls; we thought you
wished to serve your country! This beats
immigration salary and retainer fee com
bined. In this connection I would like
to be informed ho.v, out of a salary of
$5,000 per annum, you expect in two
years to pay your expenses and save
sls 000 too? How are you going t “get
even —orwhole?” Butaga.ri: Dr. Felton I
is preteoding to be in favor of reduction
of salaries. Now, does anybody believe
that a man who is running for office with
the declared intention of making money
will be apt to do much to cut the money
eff? Is it reasonable to suppose it?
Worse and worse, doctor! Pray, bring
your “hallelujah lick” to bear on these
figures and toll us how, in two years, you
expect to save $15,000 out of a salary of
$5,000 and reduce the salary too?
3. You will be satisfied “if elected the
third time without much opposition."
Why? Recause you will have your chance
to “get even or whole." We had thought,
you were seeking a vindication fiotn the
people. You claim to be a greatly slandered
man, yet you cry, ‘never mind the slander.’
“’Tistho tingling of the guinea helps the hurt
that honor feels.”
I give you, uiy countrymen, the assertions
of I)r. Felton’s most ardent friend. Dr.
Felton does not deny them. Reflect upon
| them, and decide whether it is safe to trust
a man who says that ho spent so much
I money to got to Congress that ho now wants
1 to return there to make that money back.
I warn the people now, that in a few
days Dr. Felton will begin to denounce
Middlebrooks and Brown and the Radical
party generally. This will be done for
immediate effect ott the Democrats, while
the short time before the election day will
previ nt the Radicals from concentrating
elsewhere, and so, on election day, through
force of circumstances and natural an
tipathy, they will vote against the Derno
’ cratic nominee. The Radical leaders
| understand the move. Hargrove has
taught the negroes not to vote for ILoltz
claw. But a negro never fails to vote once
on election day; and they will all vote for
Felton. Look out, fellow-citizens; be not
j deceived. Citizen.
HOW HOT IT IS IN THU SUN.
We can measure the quintity of heat
I that the sun constantly emits, because wc
can measure the amount received by our
earth, which intercepts about the
2,300,000,000 th part cf #ll tbo light and
It. at emitted by the sun. Wo thus find
that in every second of time the sun
1 emits as much heat as would result from
the combustion of 11,600,000,000 tons of
i coal. In passing, it must be convenient
| to notice ti.at each portion of the sun’s
surface as large as our earth emits as
much heat per second as would result Irotu
tli/^aimbjstion/if ],000;0()0,000 tons of
- era., sikiple and easily remembered re
lation. Now it is easily calculated from
this that if the sun’s whole mass consisted
j of coal, and could burn right out to the
i last ton, maintaining till then the present
rate of emission, the supply would not
last mote than five thousand years. As
the sun has most certainly been cmiting
light and heat ( bra far longer period than
1 this, the idea that the solar fire is thus
maintained is, of course,. altogether un
tenable.. There arc, however, many other
reasons for rejecting the idea that the sun
is composed of burning matter, using the
■ word “burning” in its proper sense, ac
j cording to which a piece of coal in a fire
j is burning where a piece of red-hot iron is
j not burning though burning hot. In like
| manner we find ourselves compelled to
i teject the belief that the sun may be a
| body raised at some remote epoch to an
intense heat throughout its entire mass
| and gradually cooling. For wo find that
in the course of a few thousands of years
such a mass would cool far more than
the sun has cooled (if ho has cooled
J appreciably at all) even within the historic
i period; and we have evidence that ho
has poured his heat on the earth during
! periods compared with which the duration
j of the human race is Put as a second amid
I centuries, while the duration of historic
I races is" utterly lost to comparison.—

HOW FUEL TRADE WORKS.
The cant idea that free trade does not
do for a young country' is refuted by the
experience of the antipodes. Since the
last census the population of New Zealand
has increased 38 per cent. In 1877 the
revenue is stated to have been £1,300,000 |
beyond the receipts, a gain of over
$5,000,000 over 1870- The railways
yield a clear profit of over £145,000. The
surplus over general expenditures is over
£l2o,O'.iib New South Wales shows just
as wellik ln 1877 the income above the
estimate was £840,000, augmented by
£120,000 surplus in one year. There
were 3,000,000 cattle and over 24,000,000
sheep. Yet free trade, it is said, dues
not do for young countries! — Ex.
A young lady of l’utnarn county, while
