State Chairman. 1
Hon. J. R. Hogan, of Lincoln)
county, was nominated governor
by the Populists Wednesday ot last
week.
Hon. Felix N. Cobb, of Carrol
county, was nominated for attor¬
ney general, aud Hon. W. P. Glov¬
er of Bibb, was nominated for com¬
missioner of agriculture.
The nomination for governor was
a complete surprise, as it was the
general opinion that Hon. W. L
Peek would be nominated beyond
all doubt.
It was stated that it was the opin¬
ion of some of the delegates that
Hon. Yancy Carter stood no chance
for the nomination, and when a
ballot was taken he was defeated
by several votes. Col. Peek was
defeated by two votes.
The conference committee, com-
d Q f , hree delegates from each
congressional district, reported the
of tf.e nominees, and the
action of the committee was ratified
by the convention, although some
of the delegates wished to put Col¬
onel Peek’s name at the head of
the ticket.
The committee also reported the
following resolution :
“Resolved, That the executive
committee be empowered to supply
names of any gentleman they may
j chief chink justice suitable as nominees for the
and associate justice of
I the supreme bench, and also to fill
I any other position on tne state tick-

Georgia Letter.
From the Miildleville (Mich.) Sun.
Editor Sun.—I am in receipt of
the issue of the Sun, containing my
letter of a few months ago, and it
looks so good in print (to myself)
that I will venture one more letter,
I am going to tell you about Tu-
galo Valley. You know the Tu-
galo river is the dividing line be-
tween South Carolina and Georgia,
From Toccoa to what is known as
the Tarrett Bridge, is about six
miles through some nice cotton
country, and when you are accom-
panied, as I was, by a pretty South-
ern girl, the time required to make
the trip seems all too short. Down
in the Valley the land is much
ferent from that higher up, being
very rich and fertile. Michigan¬
ders who think they raise corn,
should see some of the Tugalo Yal-
ley ley corn corn fields. fields. And watermelons!
’nough said. We crossed the river
and started up the Valiev on the
South Carolina side and the scenery
description. First the
road winds about, down in the
bottom lands, then up the side of
lhe ”<“»“!”• i»“ "ide
1 enough for one vehicle and a cliff
riEing above you on one side and a
precipice yawning on the other
side and way off across the valley
below, rises another line of moun¬
tains. It is about five miles up the
valley from Jarrett to Prather’s
Bridge and the scene changes with
every turn in the road. The Val-
, ley . owned , . by planters, , who ,
is are
always , cent . cot-
prosperous, r ive
ton does , not make , any difference ,. a
them, for while it may cut
down their pocket money, they can
and do live, and live well on the
p roduc ts of their plantations. They
are t i le ar i s tocracy of this country,
Xo say that you have spent a day
on a Tugalo Valley plantation is
£ 0 gay you f iad as fi ne a time as pos-
s jble. We stopped our team in the
middie of the bridge loathe to re-
turn to Georgia and business.
But to go to Tallulah Falls is a
trip worth talking about, It is
about sixteen miles, over mountains
and through beautiful valleys. And
when you finally reach your desti¬
nation, you are, so travelers tell us,
among scenes which Scotland and
Norway can show nothing in com-
parison. It is grand beyond de-
scription. It is not a ledge fall of
i a small stream like Toccoa Falls,
but it is a stream nearly as large as
the Thornapple and for a mile more,
it is just a succession of rapids,
falls and whirlpools. There are
the falls of Tempestu, Hurricane,
Bridal Vail, and others, The In-
dian Arrow' Rapids, where the
stream narrows between its rocky
walls and shoots on with the rapid-
itv of an arrow. L’ Au Dore,
where only last summer a
man from .Atlanta fell over the
precipice and lost his life. All
these and more too. Standing at
I Grand View one can look down a
thousand feet and see buzzards soar-
ing about away below him. In my !
anxiety to get to a certain table ,
rock on the side of the precipice,
last summer, I foolishly crossed a
ledge which I was afraid to re-cross
when I looked back and saw what
I had done. I had crossed on^ a
ledge of rock not more than ten
inches wide with a perpendicular
wall of rock rising on one side,and
on the other side—nothing. Had
I fallen, I would have gone five
hundred feet before I even struck a
tree top. I only wish you could
see the place instead of me trying
to tell about it.
The principal staple here is cot¬
ton, of course, and it is a sight to a
Northern man to see a cotton patch.
I do not know which is the prettier
to me, the cotton in bloom or when
the bolls are wide open and ready
to pick. A cotton field in bloom
is something beautiful, there are
two colors. The first day the blos¬
som opens it is white the next day
it is red and the third day the pet¬
als fall to the ground. When the
cotton opens it is like snow all over
the top of the plants. Cotton is all
picked by hand. It is taken loose
to the gin where the seed is sep¬
arated from the lint and the latter
is baled ready for market. A bale
of cotton is about five feet long,
four feet wide and about three feet
thick. After it is sold and before
lt is shipped to the factory and
foreign countries it has to go to the
compress where the bale is pressed
down to about one-fourth its origi¬
nal size. This is done to lessen the
bulk and also to make it more se¬
cure against fire.
Toccoa itself has one of the finest
little cotton mills in the South.
While the mills of New England
are standing idle, our mill of 5,000
spindles is running full time. And
there is a good reason for it. We
are located where the raw cotton is
produced and can buy it cheaper
-than the New England factories.
Then we can buy Alabama coal
cheaper than they can buy the Penn-
sylvania fuel. Not a negro is em-
ployed at the mills, but white peo-
pie are employed at living wages.
The opinion which is so current in
the North that southern factories
are operated by negroes is a mis-
take. With excellent railroad facil-
ities our product finds a market as
easily as does that of the eastern
mills. The time is not far distant
when Fall River must let its cotton
mills go, for they cannot compete
with those of the Carolinas and
Georgia.
And the Southern people are
God’s own people. I came here
nearly two years ago hardly know¬
ing a person in the state of Georgia.
I found the people to be as kind,
courteous and hospitable to a
“Yankee” as their reputation of
anti-bellum days ever gave them
credit of being.
The stranger within the gates of
a Southerner is used like a prince.
Let him behave himself and the far
of the land is his. Visit a Southern
home and no pains are spared to
give you a good time, and at the
same time every act of kindness is
performed with such an easy grace
that there can be no doubt of the
genuineness of the hospitality. Let
a Northern man come down here
and the way he is used will make
him forget that there ever was a
Mason and Dixon’s line. A friend
of mine in Cincinnati expressed my
opinion exactly when he made this
remark to me : “George, ain’tt hey
royal people?”
I cannot tell you anything about
the colored population for North¬
erners (ninety-nine per cent of who
know nothing about them) are nat¬
urally prejudiced in favor of the
negro. I can only say that the ne¬
gro who has been raised in the
North is not the negro of the South.
Save for the color they are not the
same race. To understand the
Southern negro you must come
south. There is no other way. Ask
Mark Coydendall if that isn’t so.
He has lived here.
Another character which is in¬
digenous to this mountain country
is the “moonshiner.” To the peo¬
ple at home he is a creature of ro-
mance. But here he thrives. I
meet a dozen of him every day. He
has but one enemy and that is the
U. S. revenue officer. And to tell
the truth “Revenue” is none too
well liked by any class of people

here. It is the pride of a mountain
gentleman to drink corn whiskey
on which “never a cent of revenue
has been paid, sah!”
It is a standing joke in the North
to comment upon the poor railroad
service of the South, but that is a
thing of the past. Some of the fin¬
est trains in the United States pass
through Toccoa every day. We
are located upon the main line of
the Southern railway, which runs
through trains from New York to
New Orleans via Washington and
Atlanta. And some of its trains
are beauties. The Washington
and Southwestern Limited, which
passes here in the afternoon, some¬
times goes in two or three sections,
the last of which is sure to be a solid
train of Pullman sleepers and buf¬
fet dining cars, and the same road
has a branch extending south for
fifty miles. And from Atlanta it
branches in all directions, so I can
buy a ticket in Toccoa for any point
in the south and lots in the north.
This same road connects in Chatta¬
nooga with the “Queen & Cres¬
cent,” of which I spoke in my last
letter, and one can board the latter
at Cincinnati and go clean through
to Florida or any point in the South
without change. I guess I had bet¬
ter stop this or you will think I am
writing a railroad advertisement,
but I only wanted to refute the idea
that we have poor railroad accom¬
modations in the south and quoted
these two as being among the very
best in the United States. I was
in Atlanta last Monday and Tues¬
day and saw my uncle, Mr. A. J.
Stokoe, and Mr. George Jackson.
They were the first Middleville
men I have seen in nearly two years.
Needless to say I was glad to see
them and loath to part with them
when they started on north. Tried
to get Uncle Andrew left but the
confounded train waited for us. I
was in Elberton, Ga., for the first
time last Friday and Saturday. It
is a beautiful little city of about 5,-
000 population, fifty miles south of
here on the E. A. L. division of the
Southern. There is some of the
most beautiful cotton country along
the road.
Well, if you will excuse this long
letter I’ll give way to some one else.
Yours truly,
Geo. L. Matteson.
