A SUDDEN DEATH.
Mr. William Harbin who was
barn’ in tliis county in 3804, lift*
teen living in- Winston county Ala
bama, for many y a s. On Satur
day the 31st nit., while burning off
the woods, a dead tree blew down on
him, fulling across his back, he be
iog in a stooping position, breaking
his back and dislocating some of Ins
limbs. Of these wounds he died in
about one and a half hours, lie was
a gopd citizen, loved by all his neigh
bois. He was a steward in the M
E Church South; which place lie
filled a long while ns a faithful labor
er lor the cause of h ; 8 master.
He was lnliy conscious of bis ap
proaching death and feaml not the
“beyond.” But with tho faith given
him to jive by, he wa* borne through
the “dark valley.’’ Mr Harbin led
uninteresting family to mourn this
great loss to them ; while they have
theprivilige to rejoice at his entrance
upou the inheritance purchased for
him, by the Saviar in whom liis hope
rested.
Gov. BROWN’S GIFT.
We presume that those ingenu
ous legislators, who refused govern
or Brown’s gilt to the Stale Univ< r-
sity, are now satisfied, that his only
object was, the good of tho cause ol
education.
He has bought fifty thousand dol
lars worth ol “Nluting’’ bonds and
presented them to the Board ol
Trustees, which donation of course
was received.

'JO LAST WEE AS ENQUIRY
Ed. Advance:
Will yon allow mo lo reply to
an arlielo appealing in this week’s
Cbcrokoe Advance, headed “Mari
etta A North Uu. Ji. Jl. An Kn-
qiiiiy.” This art.cle is si.iiiil by
rdock’nnUJard, 1 tit, by what stock
holilor or liohleiv, wo aro loft in
the dark. Fault finders. Why
don’t you como out like men and
a 111 xy our names to the in. inuations
and ehayges you ni .ko. II Kinsey
and Eager havo done wrong say
so, in so many old fashioned E»
glisli words. Let them know what
yob are driving ut, s > they may in
turn anewei. I fear this your
present trouble grows out of two
acts, 1st Ivinsey and linger lmi.t
tho road beyond Canton, 2d be
cause the freights havo been put
where tho ' R. Commission allow,
od lliom so go. Now gentlemen,
before you rush into print, you
ought to have km wn that tliotir-
minul point of tho read is Murphy,
N, C. and not Canton, Qa, 1 ap
preciate Canton. Canton is a big
place, nig men, big business, big
bill; but did you know that don’t
make Canton the hub and stock
holders the spokes of creation.
1 di (ike to see business men hop.
ping into newspapers to adjust
business mutters. It looks like
they were afraid of tho issue, and
wanted to work itp prejudice to
su tain a bad cause. 11 there is
one trail in Southern character I
admire more than another, it is
open manly fail-play, uuil did you
not know a true man would not
hedge or hide behind a non do
plume, when ho has a charge to
make, especially is this so when
ettn. Do Kinsey and Eager owe
you rnvthing, do they owe the
people ol Ga. anything aid refuse
to pay? If they do say po.if they do
not, then why make this charge
*Tliero is such a thing as libel in
Ga., and one ought to bo assured
of the truth of r.o grave a charge
before it is made. Why ask Kurnev
through tho press who is working
the convicts,you and .each of you
knew tho mtswer beforo you put
tho question. You aro stockhold
ers and m ule tho contract under
which they work. 1 would like to
know by what authority you call
Kinsey and Eager to account for
the purchaso of mineral lauds in
Ga. If they or either ol them pur
chased lands in Ga. I suppose they
juid their own money for it. Did
thoy p iy yours, if not then I ap
prehend all business men will say
il is none of your business.
In conclusion, tho stockholders
in Marietta invito tho Canton stock*
holders to meet ns in convention
in May. if you have charges to
make against tho management of
Kinsey.nmko them then, if you are
right we will sustain you, il wrong
will you have tho maullueS3 to ac
knowledge it?

DEMOCRATIC MASS MEETING
AND
ITS RESULTS.
Canton, Ga., March 28th, 1883
Was Mr Daniel Putnam’s 8LI
birth-day. We bad the pleasure ol
dining with him on that dny. On j dealing with the business or char
n.m. (K .t er of y 0 ar neighb»),s. You say
the dinner fable was a 23lb wild
turkey, killed by J. W. Putnam tin-
Friday before. This turkey was well
prepared by Mrs. J W Putnam, and
we hove seldom enjoyed such a din
ner, or spent a more pleasant even
ing with this most excellent and eu
tertaining family.
Added lo the good company of tin
evening, was our friend and pros
perous young merchant of Canton,
M. Joe B Hardin, who had the
kindness lo carry us on (his trip in
bis buggy. It is a little unfortu-
r.nfe thut Joe is net fond of wild
turkev.
I/;-’ ANOTHER GOURD.
Bond Harris says that. bushel and
n peck gourd tale we published Inst
week was nothing. That some years
ago, a man in thisconmunity raiser
a gourd, broke the handle off si
that he could use the gourd, to water
bis 25 head of cattle in. He usually
pumped up water enough, flllin,
the gourd a little ovor half full. 1<
do the cattle a week. The liandh
held a bushel and a peck, Bond
says.

“Our people have boon deceived
by Kinsey tnul Eager.” This is a
broad charge, and you give
fact to support it. Pray tell us
other stockholders that wo may
como to tho rescuo, or ilo outer a
rctmxet. “They aro going to man
age all our affairs’,’’ is another
charge. Hero you leave us with
out a single specification, and wo
aro constrained to believe (hat Can

say Eagy would not consent to
come south unless ho had tho hear

tho assurance of (> pr ct in his lose

this from. Heio is a charge with-
it specification. Just hero lot me

then why make this loose charge.

would do either alter tho road was

which were seconded by Capt. J M

Whereas the object of tins meet
i .g is. tu elict delega es lo represent
this county in t:io Gubernatorial
•convention, to assemble in Atlanta
on the 10th Ins'.
And Whereas—Our unanimous
choice, Hon James 11 Brown, has
publicly declared that he is not in
the race, giving his rensuns in a pu-
the in vestment of the form-rowners
who bu’it tho road from Marietta
to Canton with convict labor given
by the State and iron bought with
money loaned by the State, and upon
which no interest is now paid, to the
State, ull of which help was intend
ed for the benefit of a poor people.
Your petitioners futher show that
the tariff is not unifotm as they have
been informed, that twenty eight
bales of cotton, or some other
large amount, was shipped lrorn
Jasper to Marietta at eighty cents
per bale, while the regular rate char
ged and paid by other shippers was
oue dollar per bale. This discrimi
nation is unjust. Yeur. petitioners
luther show that the State furnished
free labor to gn.le the road, and that
the people Imre given large quant i
ties of timber, roeK and many other
advantages by which the present
manag rs have extended the road
and ucquir d the control and tint it
is unjust to allow higher rates than
aie allowed on roads costing a great
deal more. Your petitioners are wil
ling to pay j jst and reasonable rates,
for we are as anxious as ever to have
the road ompleted, and every sect
tion enjoy me benefits. But it ecus
es to be a b-nefit with such exorbi
tant roles and unjust discriminu
notions the present raU‘3 now charg
id are uve > higher than we paid wug
ons to haul from Marietta to Canton
before the road was built, on many
articles of merchandise. We there
fore ask that the rates be made rea
sonable and uniforo.
