A* Infepen tent
Our reader* will see the card nt
Mr. J. H. Denaington in another
place in which ha announce* him
self as a candidate for the Legis
lature from tins county. In com
mon with a large number of good
people we regret the course of Mr.
Denningtnn in tbia matter. Col.
Perry received the nomination
fairly and squarely, without any
wirepulling or trickery, and with
out any thought of being nomina
ted. Besides he is a projier per
son to represent the county in
the House of Representatives.
He is a man of intelligence, of up
right habits, and a good man. A
negro is in the field against him,
duly nominated by the Republi
can party of the count)', and vig
orous efforts are being made to
get him elected. There are only
two more white voters in the
county than colored, and all our
readers know that on national
election years like this, a full ne
gro vote is always polled. Under
such circumstances, to take one
vote from the regular candidate is
to increase the probability of put
ting a negro in the House of Rep
resentatives. Are the white wen
of this countg willing to tee such
a thing take placet There are no
issues upon which Mr. Denning-
ton can claim the votes of the peo
ple as against Col. Perry, for they
both stand upon the same plat
form. Col. Perry is as much of a
"fence” man as Mr. Dcnnington,
and has written eery strong arti
cles for the newspapers ia tear
of “fence.” His record on this
line is fully as clear and strong as
Mr. Dcnnington’s. If there is
any particular in which he can
claim to lie a better man for the
place we do not know what it is.
If Air. Dcnnington had received
the nomination, or if a corrupt
man was in the field, we should
he glad to see Mr. Dcnnington
elected, for we have always been
his friend and looked upon him
as an honest, good man. But in
this instance we think he is mak
ing a great mistake.
We suppose no one thinks that
Air. Dcnnington will receive a
larger vote than Col. Perry. Sup
I lose, however, he gets a third or
a fourth of the white vote, and
anything like a full negro vote is
polled, the election results neces
sarily in the choice of a negro,
and in such an event Mr. Den
nington would be responsible for
it. It seems to us that there is
but one course for the white men
of the county to pursue, and that
is for all to agree upon one or the
other, and then vote solid for that
man. Under the circumstances
it sccins to us necessarily that
Col. Perry should he that man.
Eafanla Cotton Compress Bsraed.
Telegrams received here on
Monday gave the startling infor
mation that the new Compress in
Eufaula had been burned up and
several lives lost. Our later ad
vices confirm the first informa
tion. The daily papers of that
city give full accounts of the ca
lamity. From them we learn that
the boiler in the Compress build
ing burst about 2 o'clock Monday
afternoon, and that the fiauies
rapidly spread until they covered
everything in the building. 360
bales of cotton were lost valued
at about $18,000, which falls upon
the Central Railroad. The Com
press belonged to that road, and
cost $(>•>,000.
There were from 25 to 30 hands
employed in the building. Thir
teen of these were either killed or
hurt, some of them not very se
riously. Air. M. P. Picket, chief
clerk and superintendent is among
the dead.

Dawson reports numerous im

courts. In this day the pcojde luul tw
have a mania on the subject of
pardons. The people are ready
to sign a petition for the discharge
of any convicted eHminal, the
judges who try the case urge the
pardon nr commutation, the aolic-
itor-gcnerals fall into line, the ju
ries who hear all the evidence and
make the verdicts relent and peti
tion for clemency, the county offi
cials arc not at all backward—all
classes apparently eager to turn
criminals of every sort loose upon
the community that the same
crimes may lie rejieatcd. In some
s ftions—not in the South—ano-
tliei clement is added which is ex
erted to shield the hardened crim
inals from the penally of crime.—
The spectacle is common of ladies
of refinement and position flockixg
to the cells of notorious criminals,
festooning the grating with flow
ers, sending in bouquets, etc.
Tbe pardoning |>ower is vested
in the servants of the people, and
this is the pressure that is
brought to licar to obtain the ex
ecutive clemency.
There are rare cases where the
innocent are condemned or cir
ciDistances greatly mitigate the
offense, where tiic prerogative may
be properly and justly exercised.
But what can he said of tlinsi
cases of the conviction of notori
ous criminals where the courts
and juries, after a full hearing
and a conviction, throw them
selves between tbe criminal and
his punishment, to shield him
from his crime.
The fault is clearly with the
lieopleand the remedy is with
them. When a crime lias been
committed, when the guilty lias
lieen convicted, all good people
ought to be of one mind as to the
punishment. Lrt the law take its
course. The courts hear the
cases, pass the sentences, and
then they should sto|i. The
machinery of the law is compleU
and expensive, and if soeiety is
to be protected the sentences ot
the courts ought to lie sustained.
When everybody signs peti
tions, when the judges write let
ters urging pardons, when the
solicitors general go in person to
advocate the release of criminals
whom they have prosecuted, when
juries join in who have made up
the verdict, and when the Attor
ney General advises favorably,
and the Governor lias the power,
he is very apt to use it.
The whole sentiment on this
subj.-ct is wrong and will proba
bly continue so until the pardon
business shall be eliminated. In
the meantime the press of the
State can take such a position in
the matter as to bring about a
healthier public sentiment.
As to the law makers they seem
to be as deep in it as tbe rest.
Petitions frequently have the
signatures of Senators and Repre
sentatives, ex Representatives,
gentlemen who make the criminal
statutes aud then aid in the work
of nullifying them.”

The Exposition at New Orleans
is attracting attention of the press
in all parts of the country and
-broad Almost every newspaper
lias something to say about the
preparations that are being made
to further the work of State or
local associations. The special
representatives of the Exposition
commissioned by President Ar
thur, for the purpose of procuring
exhibits have found the newspa
pers ready to rc|mri speeches and
print the latest news relating to
the World's Fair. This circum
stance no doubt springs from the
fact til at the people throughout
the land read with much interest
all that is printed concerning this
great enterprise. By tiie wide
spread influence of tiie press the
Exposition is known and talked
about in India, Australia, on tiie
banks of the Congo, in the South
Americas republics, and in the
frozen regions of tlie*North. Seem
iug impossibilities have been over

had no choice, and Clay being
ruled out, they left also.
I understand there is some die
pute as to how the vote of Clay
was to lie, or should be cast, after
some of us ieft, and as to a proper
division of tiie same among the
delegates who remained. When
asked a day or two since if I left
any one there authorized to east
my vote, I answered in the nega
tive; but for fear this answer may
be misupderatood, I wish to say
that my negative answer must be
confined to my individual vote,
and not as denying the right of
the remaining' delegates to vote
aa they pleased, and for whom
they pleased. Nor would I be
understood as saying that no one
had the right to cast the thirteen
votes allotted today county, but
on the coutrary that tbe Delegates
left had just as much right to
cast tiie vote of Clay county as all
of us hail while there together,
unless we had positively instruct
ed them otherwise. As to wheth
er the thirteen votes were equally
distributed among the remaining
delegates, I know not, atd will not
undertake to discuss. I had been
selected in caucus that morning
:o cast the rote of Clay, but by
the same caucus it was unani
mously voted that Clay county
was entitled to the next Senator,
and that I should cast that vote
for CoL Turnipseed, as Clay's
choice. Hence, when the conven
tion decided that it was not Clay's
time to present the candidate, my
right to cast her vote then ceased.
Our delegates from Clay weresan
guine as to her claim, and had
made provision fur no other candi
date, and after our second caucus
l returned to the convention and
reported to tiie chairman that I
was not instructed to act any fur
ilier for Clay county, and asked
f>r leave of absence. I did not
say, nor did I uieau that Clay
county would take no further i»art
in tbe convention, for 1 bad re
ceived no such intimation; nordid
I. in leaving the convention, in
tend by tiiat, to go back on its
proceedings. I had, with others,
been elected as delegates farora
blc to Col. Turnipseed, and when
tbe vote was taken on the right ol
Clay, and decided in the negative,
we were left without a candidate
before the convention, and I, foi
one, felt perfectly willing for the
remaining delegates from Clay, in
conjunction with those tr im Ran
dolpli and Terrell to make the
Domination. I had previously
slated, in addresStng the conven
tion in opposition to the resolu
tion, “binding the convention to
siip|iort tiie nominee,” that “it
was a reflection on our fidelity—
that as democrats we bad assem
bled in convention, and it ought
to lie underelood by democrats.
Imtli in and out of the convention,
that we would support the nomi
nee.” As I am not accustomed to
going back on what I say, I will
now reiterate the sentiment, and
say that I will cheerfully abide
tho action of the convention, a no
will heartily support its nominee,
and if any of the delegates should
do otherwise,'"1 bill not in future,
on a similar occasion, raise my
voice against Prof. McNulty's
“feucing them in,” although I be
lieved then, and still lielicrc, that
principle, and not fencing, ought
to keep our parly in tiie field and
in the line of duty.

tragedy and another
to the many already en
acted in our county, in favor of
prohibition and the abolition of
the whisky traffic. On Saturday
evening last, some five or six miles
south of Wards, in a quiet and
peaceable neighborhood, a young
man liy the name of Joe Phelps,
of dissipated habits, and who had
secured from some low doggery in
an ’adjoining county whiskey
enough to make him drunk and
dethrone reason, passed by and
through the yard of the home of
Mr. Henry DafiicI, a quiet, good
citizen, a man who was noted for
his quiet and peaceable hab
its, and by his loud yells and
screams, mixed witii profanity,
attracted the attention of Air.
Daniel, who was some distance
from the house and hastened to
wards bis home and met this man
Phelps, when some words passed,
and Phelps drew lus pistol, fired,
and Daniel fell, shot through tbe
body. He lived but a short lime,
leaving a, distressqd widow and
three orphan children. Another
murderer, widow and orphans ad
ded to the long list of the destruc
tive work of the liquor traffic, and
the blood ot this murdered man,
the sorrowing tears of the wideb
and orphaned children cry out to
every Christian man and woman,
to every good citizen to work nnd
vote to suppress this great evil of
our land. Nn man who will not
vote and work for its abolition
should be supported for any office
in our county. This is not a
question of politics in its com
monly accepted meaning, but is
one of morals, of religion, of good
will to men, and of patriotism, and
we are glad to see the goad people
everywhere uniting, working nnd
voting for the suppression of this
the greatest evil and curse of out
age.
The receipts of cotton at otn
town arc heavy. The crop of our
section will not exceed that of Iasi
season, and in some sections of
the country »vc have visited lately,
it will not be so large a yield as
last season.
We find in travelling over the
country, that the tanners have
corn enough, and to spare. The
other food crops arc good, an.I a
great rtianv will raise meat suffi
i-ient for home use. Imt the cotton
crop will lie aliout 75 per et. of an
average, and the price at which
it is selling will nut pay the cost
of production. That our farmers
will have to turn their attention to
something besides cotton to make
money, we are well satisfied. A1
reatlv the markets of the world
are filled to overflowing with man
ufacto red cotton goods, and many
of our factories arc shut down or
running nn half time.
Notwithstanding the stringency
in our money market, aud the
dullness of trade noted every
where, our village continues to
improve and grow. Air. John A.
Payne has just rqiencd up his new
store of fancy groceries anil con
feetioneries, which he is selling
cheap. He has Mr. C. W. Graves
in charge, who by his urbanity
ami fair dealing will build up a
good trnde. He bas also fitted up
a restaurant, where the hungry
who visit our town can get a first
class meal. This fills a long felt
want, and wc ho|ic he will receive
a liberal patronage.
Mrs.-Busbec is also shipping
her goods, and will soon open up
in her new building. She has had
many years experience in the mil
linery and fane)- goods trade, and
knew* what the ladies like, and
how to please them, and she will
keep a slock equal to any in the
neighboring towns.
Three enterprising farmers from
