If otice to Subscribers.
Subscribers to the Appeal are
most earnestly requested to at once
come forward and pay tip. W e
have indulged many of them quite
as long as they could possibly ask

long accounts. We mean what we
say. Then come up, and help us
out.
Still Rejoicing. —The Lumpkin
Independent says the Democratic
negroes of Stewart couuty are still
rejoicing over their victories. On
Friday night of last week a regular
jollification was had at Providence,
when speeches were made, anvils
fired, cheers given in honor of the
Democratic victories. The Inde
pendent says:
Wilson Bryan P. C. also made a
spe -h, and made a good one. lie
told how the Florence negroes tried
to intimidate him for voting tle
Democratic ticket, but he boldly
declared himself a red hot democrat.
He said he was glad to know that
Whitely wuh defeated, and was
proud thai Stewart county was
without any Tumlm t > gull and
mislead the colored people.
Hon. A. D. Nunnaly, Mayor ol
Griffin, is dead.
There are 700 convicts now in the
penitentiary —an increase of 220
since April last.

gro justice in Desha county, Ar

You go.”
C. K. Osgood, late Radical P. M.
at Savannah, is short $3,500, and a
verdict against himself and bonds
men for this amount has been ob

Governor Smith has agreed not
to sell the North and South Rail
road before January.
Rev. Dr. David Wills will lecture
in the North this winter. His sub
ject will be “Uncle Tom without
His Cabin.”
They have had an earthquake in
Mexico, and many houses injured
by the shock. The people are
much alarmed, and are fleeing from
Guaujato.
Gov. Smith opened his heart—if
be has one-On thanksgiving day,
and pardoned five convicts out of
the penitentiary. There are seven
hundred convicts in the penitentia
ry-
We see an article going the
rounds of the press headed, “ How
John Jacob Astor does business.”—
What the thunder do these editors
care how he does it—they’ll never
be nny the better off.
Aaron Alpeona Bradley has been
stricken from the bar. We know
of. several in these parts that, though
■white, should also be stricken—that
?s, if it’s any offence to collect mou
ley and never pay it over.
F Rev. Dr. A. L. Hamilton, former
ly of Cuthbert, but now of Atlanta,
would probably save his ministerial
robes by paying the Junior hereof a
small bill of SBO, due now' over four
years. More anon , if the money
ain’t forthcoming.
Caleb Lyons, formerly Governor
of Idaho, lias had a verdict render
ed against him ol $50,000, which he
stole under Andy Johnson’s admin
istration. If the government gets
this sum, there will be just $50,000
more to divide among Grant’s
thieves.
Three prisoners— J. J. Dunn,Geo.
F. Able, and T. A. Gray— confined
in Bibb county jail, convicted of
Murder, escaped on Sunday morn
ing last, by cutting their way
through the ceiliug The press of
Macon paßses some severe criti
cisms upon the insecurity of their
county prison,and intimates that ev
ery inducement is offered to iuduce
prisoners to flee from the wrath of
the law.
The Atlanta Herald of the 24th
inst. has five and a half columns of
Marshal’s sales, each sale averaging
about three lines of small type !
This shows a “ live ” city, but if
she don’t “ go dead ” at these licks,
then we’ie no judge of finances.
The Actions the Demo
cratic Party.
Agreeable to a call published! in
our columns, a large number of our
citizens met at the court house on
Saturday last, organized and trans
acted business, a record of which
may be found elsewhere as furnish
ed by the Secretary, and to which
we refer the reader.
As announced in the call the ob
ject of this meeting was to bring
“all lovers of peace and good ordti
together and talk over our troubles
and counsel together in a spirit of
harmony for safety and success.” —
It was believed by many that good
would result from such an inter
change of opinion, and that the
breach made in our party organiza
tion would be healed, and that all
would unite and seek to redeem
our county from the disgrace and
shame of having permitted White
ley to triumph in the late election.
Vain hope. A few days prior to
this proposed meeting of Democrats
ol both factions, some designing
one published iu the Messenger a
counter call, with the avowed de
termination of destroying the ex
pressed objects and aims of this
meeting, by calling a meeting of
his faction alone. When this latter
call was made, and the meeting on
Saturday called to order, it was un
mistakably demonstrated that no
such meeting as desired could be
had, as not a dozen of the Tumlin
faction were to be seen iu the
meeting, and the few present were
mere curious spectators, not intend
ing to participate in or bo influenced
by anything that might be said or
done.
With this unmistakable evidence
of the “rule or ruin spirit” still ob
taining and controlling the ac
tions of a few, the people sought to
apply the remedy in their judge
ment and discretion deemed best,
which was to depose those members
of the Executive Committee Who
had transcended, in the judgement
of the party, their duties, and re
scind a portion of their official
acts. This done, anew Executive
Committee was appointed, with in
structions to keep within due
bounds of the best interests of the
Democratic party of Randolph
county, with the unanimous decla
ration that if they sought to make
innovations upon the party usages
that would or might endanger its
success or harmony of actions, they
would be held to a strict account.
We deemed this precautionary
measure unnecessary, as members
of an Executive Committee cannot
be considered in any other light
than as mere agents to guard and
protect party interests. Still to
pretent all subsequent innovations
it was deemed advisable to 1 adopt
this precautionary measure, and we
hope it may have the desired effect.
Now that the party has been re
organized —not under a call for eith
er one faction or the other, but in
a mass meeting where every true
white Democrat was invited to
meet and participate—we appeal to
you to stand by the party and not
be led off under personal prefer
ences or jealousies to tlio support of
individual claims.
We know not who may be nom
inated on the 12th of December,but
we shall da all ia our power to se
cure their election, whether they be
our choice or not. We shall cheer,
fully sacrifice all personal prefer
ences with the hope and desire of
forever preventing the repetition of
the disgrace of the 3d of Novem
ber.
We have written and said: much
within the last four months coun
seling our friends against the folly
of attaching more importance to in
dividual than party claims. Some
we know, are ready to admit the
truthfulness of our prophesies that
such a policy, if policy iudeed it be,
would surrender our county to
Radical rule, while others appear
determined to support their friends
in or out of the party, if it sacrifices
our party afresh, and converts our
county into an asylum for Radical
scalawags and carpet baggers.
We implore the good men of the
county to stand to their party or
yanization, and resolved to outlive
all such wild fanaticism. Be true
to yourself, affiliate with and stand
by Democracy and force all dema
gogues and pettifoggers back to
their native abode. This done, and
our county is redeemed, and the
shame of having gone Radical in
1874 will soon be lost to view by
repeated and continued Democratic
victories.
The Borrowers cannot say they
never owned a paper. Now, if they
will promise not to borrow, we will
give them one every three months
gratis. Can’t our friends who pay
for their papers stop this pernicious
little habit of which they complain
to us so much.
The Herald says that an evening
paper is to bo started in Atlanta
next week. Mr. John Hicks Bass,
at present upon the staff of the
Rome Commercial, is mentioned as
the probable conductor of its local
department.
We have it from reliable author
ity that Whiteley intends to contest
Col. Smith’s election. On what
grouuds, wo are not informed.
Fearlul Storm in Ala
bama.
Nashville, Nov. 23. —A heavy
storm has prevailed south and west
of here for twenty-four hours.
The following particulars of the
disastrous storm at Tuscunabia are
from the Mayor.
A terrible storm occurred here
last evening about six o’clock, des
troying one-third of the residences
and killing twelve persons and many
other were injured
Mrs. Wm. Winston, mother of
the late ex Gov. Winston; the
wife and two children of Hon J. B
Moore, senator from this district;
F. D. Hodgkins, editor of the Chron
icle, his wife and four children were
killed.
The Catholic church; Dishler
Female Insti ute, recently finished,
and many of the finest resideces,
both of the flouring mills aftd the
most substantial brick dwellings in
the town were destroyed. Many
families are without homes. A
bridge on the Memphis & Charles
ton rail road, near town, was de
stroyed. The eastern bound train
was precipitated into Spring Creek.
Fortunately no one was killed.
Later. —By the storm of Sunday
about 300 persons were deprived of
houses, and the total loss of the
town and private individuals is esti
mated at $500,000. The Memphis
and Charleston Rail Road Company
loses about $20,000.
The storm came on while most of
the people were supping. It came
like the sound of rushing thunder
and passed over immediately. The
bouses wei e blown down. In places
the streets and roads were ever
where filled with ct uuibliug walls
and shattered timbers.
The people immediately organiz
ed and appointed leaders and set
about relieving those held by the
falling timbers and recovering the
bodies of the killed.
In addition to the killed mention
ed in yesterday’s Nashville dispatch,
thirty persons were injured.
Soon after the storm had blown
over it was discovered that the iron
rail road bridge over Spring creek,
about half a mile from town, had
been completely destroyed. At toe
same moment it was remembered
that a train from Memphis could be
expected to arrive at any moment.
The utmost confusion prevailed,
and no owe seemed to know what
lo do. At length a young man
named NVable seized a Inigo slick of
pine wood, and, after tbi ustiug it
into the fire, in a bouse near by, lie
rushed toward the broken bridge,
waving the blazing wood over his
head as lie went. 110 had almost
reached the creek when his torch
Was extinguised by the rain, which
ivas falling in torrents
• At the same time the whistle of
the approaching train was heard
and the next the head light Hashed
through the darkness. The young
man called with all his might, but
the engineer heard nothing but the
sound of the storm, and before aDy
warning could be conveyed to him
the engine, baggage ear and one of
the passenget coaches went over
the embankments fifty feet down in
to the creek.
The rear passeger cars did not go
off the track, it being blocked up by
the wreck of the foremost ones.
The engineer, fireman and baggage
master went over with it. They
were cut out of the ruins after two
hours’ hard work. They were very
dangerously burned and bruised,
but are expected to recover.
A Lesson Learned.
President Grant has been prac
ticing at the game of setting up and
. knocking down State government,
lie recognized Kellogg as the Gov
ernor of Louisiana, when he was
undoubtedly defeated, but was
fraudulently counted in. lie was
called upon to act as the umpire
between Baxter and Brooks of Ar
kansas, when he decided in favor of
Baxter.
But sometimes a game is carried
too far. The people of Louisiana
arose in arms and a second time
protested against the usurper, Kel
logg being allowed to rule over
them. The mighty man at Wash
ington agaiu refused to listen to
their plea ; and Kellogg was again
enthroned. Grant thought he was
learning the game fiuely, and
would soon become an adept. His
unjust interference in the Louisiana
controversy, his refusal to heed the
cry for justice, his use of the army
to put down the people, when they
arose in their majesty to displace a
tyrant, was one of the principal
causes of the defeat of the radicals
at Iho November election. The
Northern people had grown tired
of persecuting their brothers of the
South, and at the ballot, put the
seal of their condemnation upon the
acts ot Mr. President.
This has taught the 'chief magis
trate a lesson, and we are glad to
see that he is an apt scholar. Wit
ness his action in the “last case”
that has come within his jurisdic
tion. Gov. Baxter’s term of office,
by the new Constitution of Arkan
sas, expired and Garland was elect
ed to fill the office. A man named
Smith, Lieut. Governor, elected
with Governor .Baxter, claimed
that he was elected for four years,
and that when Gov. Baxter offered
to give up the office to Garland,
that this act ainouuted to a resigna
tion, and that he (Smith) was by
virtue of this resignation, the law
ful Governor. He, of course, ap
pealed to Grant. But the Presi
dent had had enough of interfering
with State governments and de
clined to aid Mr. Smith. This
leaves Gov. Garland in full posses
sion, as the people are all on his
side. If the Democrats will give
Gen. Grant a few more lessons he
will make a tolerably fair Presi
dent.

have them presented to himself?

A large crowd of negroes had a
free fight in Atlanta the other day,
jn which, we regret to say, only one
was wounded. The police scatter

it always is—yet they swear ven
geance to the white man, and many
want to kill us out.
The Macon Street Railroad is de
funct—horses, mules, etc., sold last
Wednesday—and the Telegraph is
after the citizens of Macon not to
let it “ peg out,” and urges them to
at once have it resume operations.
Our opinion is, it never will pay.

Thank you, sir—we tip our hat,

Grand Jury Presentments of
Quitman County.
We, the Grand Jurors chosen and sworn
for the November Term of Quitman Superi
or Court, 1874, make the following General
Presentments:
We have through our respective Commit
tees examined iDto Public Buildings Kec
olds, Roads, etc., as given us in charge by
his honor.
The Court House we find in good repair
but having a full appreciation of his Honor's
suggestion as pertains to the bur enclosure'
recommend that the County Cointni siouer.
take the necessary steps before the sitting of
our next Court, to have the railings placed
out, thereby Making larger the space allotted
as a bar for the Court.
The Jail, we would suggest that more cau
tion be used to promotj cleanliness by keep
ing the floor swept, etc., and that some at.
tention be paid to the disinfection of the
nauseous stench arising from the neglected
condition of the bole in the floor used as a
water closet.
The Clerk's and Ordinary's Books are cor
rectly and neatly kept. We have carefully
examined the dockets cf the Justices of the
Peace, and Ex. Officio Justice 3 of this couu
ty, and find no charge for mal-practice, as
they have charged add itemized Costs as the
law prescribes.
Iu examining the Tax Receiver's Books,
we find that Daniel Crawford, colored, has
undervalued his property, both real and per
sonal, and suggest that the next Receiver of
Taxes. i?e that the error is corrected, We
also find that Nick Sherley, colored, has tail
ed to return his personal properly.
The various Roads and Bridges of the
county are in good order with the exception
ufthehillon the road tecently opened be
tween the corporation ot Georgetown and
the Eufaulu biidge, and as its opening is
quite recent we are disposed to exhonerate
the commissioners from all blame, but re
commend that they at an early day reqtrre
the Overseer to summon bis hands and have
said hill put in travelling oid'-r, by digging
down the top and dragging or hauling to the
bottom until it is made of easy ascent and
descent.
We would also recommend that if there
is any School /and of 1871 still in tin. School
Commissioner’s hands not otherwise appro
priated. that he apply a sufficiency, or if
not a sufficiency, then auy part remaining
to the liquidation of an accoifnt held by
Capt. M. C. Edwards, against the county ol
Quitman for services leudered lor teaching
in the year 1871.
We recommend that Col. Wmv Harrison,
our immediate representative in the General
A embly use his best efforts to have an act
passed authorizing the Treasurer of Quitman
couuty to pay the July scrips of our last
May Court, and further, that all subsequent
jui-ors be paid the sum of $1 per day lor
their services.
In taking leave of his Honor, Jr.dge Kid
doo, we cannot retrain from tendering him
our individual compliments for his expedi
tious ns well as most faithful administration
ol the law, and feel that we and the entire
county are under lasting benefits received
under his pure and impartial administration.
In Col. Flewellen we recognise the right
man in the right place, and return him our
thanks for his Uniterm kindness to our body,
and cberish'tbe hope that his shadow may
never grow less
All of which is respectfully submitted.
