THE ART FESTIVAL.
On Wednesday night, at Pow
ell's Hall, a very large audienae
assembled to witness a most do :
lighlful entertainment, and to see
the many beautiful ami superior
works of art which adorned the
Hall, and which were executed by
the teachers and pnpils of the
school. This display of art was
not only large, but many of the
paintings are perfect gems ot
taste and beauty, and evince a
very high order of skill and genius
in their execution They refiect
great crertil upon Mias Mattie
Chapman, the accomplished teach

of the whole matter:
“roLITlCS IX KANLMH.ru.“
Vruler this head, the correiq»ondenI of
the Atlanta Constitution, from thh*
plac e, in Saturday’s Issue has tlie follow
ing to say:
“In I he rare for representative the pro
hibition issue will lie sprung uml tlicop-
pouents of that measure arc ex|»ecti»ig
to make the campaign a lively one. The
pruliibition parjv of Randolph i*ounty
nas labored with great energy for live
years to prove to the satisfaction of all
that the general welfare of the public
had been advanced materially under its
workings, but as time advances a wide
■spread disaffection is springingnp which
threatens to engulph the prohis and
overthrow their administration. The
adjoining counties of ('lay and Terrel!
arc wet and it is argued that the business
of 4’uthliert has depreciated in co»>c-
qiicmts. An active canvasser who has
recently investigated the matter states,
to your correspondent that the city of
Cuthliert will vote three to one in favor
of anti-prohibition.*’
.It will be seen from his first sentence
that the opponents of prohibition pro
pose to run a whiskey candidate for the
| legislature. Wo do not believe that
there is a man who lives in Randolph
county that would be willing to face the
good people of the county in the race
for such an evil, and hurtful cause, lie
savs. further, in the second sentence,
••thatthe prohibition party of Randolph
county has labored with great energy
for live years to prove to the satisfaction
of all that the general welfare of the
public had been advanced materially
under its workings, but as time advances
a widespread disaffection is springing tip
J which threatens tornguif the prohis and
overthrow their ad ministration." He
makes dear tin* intimation that the ef
forts mi the part of tiie prohibitionists
to show that its workings for the public
good have proven a failure. Is this true?

Sow iu respect to the intelligence of

piled from reports of the various coiu-

single one of these reports. I was not
chairman of any of the committees that
made up reports. I did not write the
prohibition clause which the editor of
the Api*eal quotes against me with so
much gusto, nor did 1 ever tell any one
I wrote it. bn the other hand I told a
prom incut minister of Cuthbert that I
did not write it. and if the editor of tlie
Enterprise and Aiq>eal had desired to
know the truth, lie could have easily
found it ntu by asking myself or any
member of the grand jury. In the light
of these facts the public can but sustain
me in branding the article in last week’s

Sow why this sudden change, in less
than thirty days, on the part of this
correspondent? The figures, ami state
ments made by himself, clearly show
that prohibition is a blessing to our
county, and that under its influence our
people are steadily increasing in pros
perity, and good morals. \\ e ask what
has caused this change to cotfle, so sud
denly, over the spirit of hi* dreams?
This article of Mr. Harden
was handed in by his friend, Mr.
J. L. Sanders, alter 12 o’clock on
Wednesday. We informed him,
in the presence of Mr. O. A. Bar
ry, that we regretted the lale hour
at which he had 6eoi in his arti
ele, that it would Le # i in possible to
gel it in al that hour, from the
fact that all our eorrespondents
would send in their budgets of
that the public may sec his real
motive, we publish the remainder,
that all may see that no stretch of
the meaning of the word “garble”
will justify such a charge. His
letter began as follows:
“Political matters in Randolph are be
ginning to warm up and the prosftect
now is that the county will enjoy a heat
ed campaign during the coming summer.
Dr. M. A. Baldwin, u prominent physi
cian of Cuthbert. has announced for the
State Senate from this district, and is ac
tively engaged in canvassing the coun
ties of Clay, Terrell and Randolph, lie
has many friends throughout the district
and bids’fair to capture the nomination.
Col. Jim Griggs, of Dawson, will be a
candidate for Solicitor General of thej
I’ataiila Circuit before the next General
Assembly, ami consequently feel* an in
terest in ’the politics oi this county, lie
is a brainy young man and enjoys tlie
confidence ami esteem of all who know
him. Randolph contains many warm
siip|H»riers of Col. Griggs, who would be
highly gratified at his success.”
Here belongs the extract we
took from it. which will be seen
in our first article, and after it his
closing paragraph, as follows:
“Opt. William M. Tnmlin. one of the
most active politicians in the State is at
home for the summer, audit is rumored
that he will take a hand with the boys
and give the machine a turn or two. If
he docs, lookout for fun.”
He says in the second paragraph
of his article, “I did not as chair
man of any committee, present to
the Grand Jury, ami through them
to the public, llie facts obtained
by a thorough and careful exatni
nation of the tax books of the
county in regard to prohibition in
Randolph.” We have the origi
nal papers in our possession on
which ihe committees, appointed
bv the Foreman, were recorded,
which show r that Mr. E. J. Har
den was a member of the commit
tee that got up “the facts obtain
ed by a careful examination of
the tax book*,” and that he teas
chairman of (he committee on
General Presentments. And the
following certificate proves that
lie presented and read to the
Grand Jury the Presentments, in

them to the public, and voted for

TO THE PUBLIC.
My attention has been called to an ar
ticle in tlie last issue of tlie Cuthbert Ap
peal, jiving garbled extracts of my letter
oflhe 25th ult., to the Atlanta Constitu
tion and ujhaii which tlie editor of tlie
Appeal proceeds to comment at consid
erable length. The blundering inaccu
racies of the editor’s statements are so
perceptible that it is almost unnecessary
tor me t« correct the same, and had lit
quoted my letter entirely (a matter of
only a few more line*} so that (be gen
eral public could have seen the real
cause of his animus, I would treat the
whole thing with the silent contempt it j
deserves
I did not. as chairman of any com
mittee, piesent to ihe grand jury and
“through them to the public, the facts
obtained bv a thorough and careful ex
amination of the tax l»ooks ef the coun
ty" in regard to prohibition in Randolph
county. There was no committee ap
pointed or requested to make any such
investigation and the presentments
show no such thing. There was a com
mittee appointed to look after the tax
hooks of the county and one of the best
citizens of the 5th district was its chair
man. 1 know that they did not discuss
prohibition during their committee
meetings nor did they attempt to find
out whether the county had improved
or deteriorated under its reign. That
committee did formulate a statistical
tabic, dating back ten year*, and the edi
tor of the Appeal knew when he wrote
that “these figures show tlie increased
value of different property in Randolph
county under prohibition” that it dated
i from 1377 to lt^7, about twice as long
! as prohibition lias been in force in our
I county. The editor of the Appeal has
! fixed iip a very pretty little table from
I the grand jury presentments and at-
, tempts to make the “good people” of
} Randolph county believe that under
rehibirion the ’“increased value** of

was $855,345 ami in 1&T7 it had fallen to

he had heard for many years. At
this point we publish tbe following
certificate from Mr. J. J. McDon
ald, which proves the correctness
of the above statement:
I certify that E. J. Harden stated to
me on day ot reading Genera! Present
ments that he wrote the same and led
me lo believe that lie was instrumental
in getting the prohibition clause passed
by that body. Cuthbert. Ga., June 11th,
1SSS. J. J. SI.Doxalv,
As to tlie correctness or incor
rectness of the figures we present
eti in our first article, we have but
to say, we took them from tlie
Grand Jury Freseultnenls, nnd as
they were in his own hand write.
and us lie was on the committee
that '■•obtained them by a thor
ough and careful ineestigntion of
the tax books,” we presumed them
correct, and we think it in very
poor grace for him to attempt to
prove them false.
We are thankful to our friend,
U. O. Beall, who has relieved ns
from the necessity of making
further figures to show the good
effect of prohibition, and that un
der it Randolph is moving steadi
iy forward. Ills able article of
facts and figures, which esn Ite
round on our second page, furnish
es an argument that cannot he re
fuied. and we call to it tbe espe
cial attention of our readers.
We hare dealt with the tacts
from the first, and not with Mr.
Harden personally. We had no
desire to ev#n wound his feelings.
