TO THE PEOPLE OF DECATUR

On account of sickness I bare been
unable to make a canvass of the county
since my nomination by the Democratic
party as a candidate for the Legisla
ture ; and unless my health improves
the probability is that I cannot leave
the city during the campaign.
I greatly regret this state of affairs,
for as one of the standard-bearers of the
party in this contest, I aspired to be in
the front rank. I must, therefore, cal*
upon my friends throughout the county
to bestir themselves and work for the
ticket. Aud should l he elected, the peo
ple of Decatur county may rest assured
that [ will look after their interests with
all the ability of which I am capable.
Respectfully,

THE NEXT LEGISLATURE. -
The next session of the general as
sembly of Georgia will be one of vast
inportance. A United States senator to
succeed the lamented Hill and numer
ous Superior Court Judges and Solicit
ors—General are tube elected.
Furthermore, questions will arise in-
voving millions of the people’s money.
It ia, therefore, necessary that Decatur
county should be properly Represented
in that body.
Messrs. Farnell & Russell are the
nominees of the Democratic party, and
both consider themselves sworn, in the
event of their election, to do all in
their power to protect the interests of
the people.

Address of the Committee on The
Hill Monument Fund-
To the People of Georgia .-
We have been commissioned to com
municate with you concerning the build
ing of a Monument to the memory of
Benjamin H. Hill. Our appointment
was formally made by the Hill Monu
ment Association, just now organized,
but the organization originated in de
mands which came from so many parts
of the country, and were of such
character that they could not be resist
ed. The press of Georgia first gave
cordial expression of the opinion that
some great and durable token of the
public esteem for our departed states
man should be contrived. Many
letters from various parts of the Union,
particular’y from Virginia and Louisi
ana, addressed to persons in Atlanta,
also called appealingly for a movement
to be inaugurated in the Capital city of
Gto r gia. And thus in compliance with
the wishes of many affectionate friends,
33 well as in obedience with the dictates
of their own hearts, a number of peo
ple recently assembled and formed the
Hill Monument Association, to raise
funds and erect a monument that shall
speak with impressive and ennobling |
eloquence for ages to come.
The desire to perpetuate in durable
bronze the natural figure and well-won
fame of this eminent citizen is worthy
of the people who feel it, and he
himself was well worthy of the great
honor whieh bis people desire to cott
ier. Monuments mark the prevalance
of some lofty sentiment which caused
their construction. They honor as
much their builders as the distinguished
men in whose credit they were created.
People whose favorites fall are moved
by the nobles uiotivest to call to the quar.
ries for marble, to the mices for metal, 1
and to raia for skill to embody in ap
propriate form their most sacred feeling.
Our country eves in its first century
began to build these mementos of
patriots in testimony of the truth that
at least our republic will not be un
grateful. Georgia also has erected a
few of these great tokens of public ap
preciation. The noble foreigner.Cou.it
Pulaski, who fought and fell for our
liberty on our soil, has a monument in
Savannah that keeps him in the vivid
remembrance and warm affection of
Americans. Another column in
Augusta speaks the praise of the Geor
gians who signed the Declaration of
Independence. Costly columns in
many cities and 'owns tell the tribute
which all hearts pay to the valor of the
Confederate dead. So also portraits of
Georgians who have done eminent pub
lic service have been suspended in
honorable positions to keep their like
ness in perpetual memory. Who could
question the appropriateness of adding
to the ornament and honor of Georgia
by raising a life-like statute of Hill in
the Capital of his native State f
We believe that such a monument as
you will raise will be a worthy monu
ment of the great Senator, to whom his
S ate is indebted far more than is gen
erally known, and also a lasting inspira
tion to our children—a potent educator
whose training will blend happily
with the noblest efforts of this day to
rear a generation of men im bued with
the spirit of enterprise, culture, patriots
ism and religion. The statue of Hill
will exhibit a physical grace that may
well be the study of artists for ages. It
will speak on with enhancing eloquence
to our children’s children long alter we
have joined his spirit ia the spirit land,
and move them to cultivate that art ot
arts which he used so well. It will
train our young countrymen to just and
generous love of country, for it will
send them to study a political life whose
most prominent feature wa's its ardent
patriotism. It will bespeak attention
to law as the basis and bond of society,
for he was a jurist who gave luster to
the jurisprudence of his State. It will
advocate education aud proclaim re
ligion, for he was the cultured friend
of the first, and with wonderful utter
ance in his last days set foilh the great
principles of the last. He illustrated
Georgia—defended her—silenced the
foes who maligned her name—gave her
power and place in the Union—earnest
ly yearned for her love and delighted to
die in her domain and repose in her
dost. For these aDtl countles^other
causes we would honor his memory
forever.
In conclusion, we would call your at
tention to a few practical and important
details which will also more fully ap
pear in other communications. It is
desired that at least $25,000 shall be
raised during the next three months
from the contributions of.Georgiacs,
and to this end practical arrangement
will be made to reach the people. The
money will be placed on deposit in the
Gate City National Bank, whoso Presi
dent is the Treasurer of this monument
fund, &Dd be is under a bond of twenty-
five thousand dollars as Treasurer.Ev«rv
contribution will be ca.-h and will be
publicly acknowledge in ihe Constitu
tion and other papers. Every oeeded
guaranty r.as been given to assure a
faithful execution of the trust to raise
a monument to the memory o r Senator
Hill worthy of his great-fame. And
we fervently hope that the noble work
in which we now so heartily engage may
very soon have it proper consumma
tion. R. D. Spalding,

Uncle Jack's Opinion-*
Editor Democrat:—The ail" is thick
with political rumors, in the lauguage
of Uncle Jack, “things are getting
mighty interesting and powerfully
tangled, and how to get out of the kinks
he could not tell.” The old man says
he is powerfully bothered about who to
elect for Governor as Mr. Stephens and
Mr. Gartrell both claim to be Demo
crats and both profess to love the dar
keys powerfully ; he ean’t for life of
him tell which from the tother. Uncle
Jack is almost “cafluuiixed” in refer
ence to the nominees lor Representa
tives and Senator. He says Mr.
Wilder am a mighty man among men
and when he gets to Atlanta things will
happen ; tli<* chane gang will be scat
tered, the taxes taken of the poor man
and education spread all over the land
like autum "leaves, “without money and
without c >.-t, lie c >uld uot say much fi r
Mr. J. D. Williams, but he knew one
thing, that Mr. W. wanted logo mighty
bad for he was a standing candidate lor
this office or something else all the
time, he would be mighty glad rf some
body would give him something, but
thinks the man has sot his peg too
high.
As to Mr. Rossell, be liked him
mighty well, and he thought Mr. R
had done a powerful sight for the
county aud if Mr. 11. got to Atlanta,
great Jerusalem, how he would make
the welkin ring. He would not be sur
prised if Mr. Russell and Wilder were
elected, aod that they would move
Atlanta to Bainbridge if they took a
liking to tie place. Mr. Farnell was a
clever man, was all he had to say or
would say. Mr Bush, he did not know
him; but as for Capt. Gurley. Unce Jack
said he would clinb trees, wade rivers
and fight ’gators to help him through.
A stated by Uncle Jack, things are
tangled, and unless erder is brought
out of the present confused state some
body will be sadly disappointed. A
vigoious campaign should be inaugu
rated and candidates should learn to
carry their own skillets, not try to
carry Stephens’and others. Cato.
THE YELLOW FEVER.
^ We regret to state that reports from
Brownsville,Texaa.and Pensacola.Florida,
are not encouraging. At the former place
it is said to be - increasing in violence,
while at Pensacola, the number of new cases
on Tuesday last was 19, and the deaths
three. The Governor of Texas has issued
an appeal to the people of the Lone Star
State, asking aid money, and food, to sup
ply the wants of the many destitute people.
in the city of Brownsville, and the officials
at Pensacola have appealed for help through
the New York journals. The weather, at
last accounts, in both places, was not
favorable, and it is greatly feared that a
severe panic may occur along ihe entire
Gulf coast. Among the victmis in both
places have been several of the best’people
in all respects.
At Pensacola on Thursday last as learn
ed by telegram, there were 11 new cases
and two deaths. The fever continues to
rage there, and the destitution and suffer
ing increase, while means for amelioration
daily grow less adequate. The expenses
of the reliff associations and the Board
of Health amouut to from 85,000 to
86,000 per day. Shall not these people
receive our aid ? Will not some respond
to the appeal?
denerel A. R- Lawton on the Senator-
ship.
The Atlanta Constitution of Saturday
contains the following account of an inter,
view with our distinguished fellow citizen
General Lawton, which will be read with
interest:
General A. R. Lawton has been iu the
city duriug the week on legal business. In
view of the fact that his name has been
prominently mentioned by the press and by
public speakers ia connection with tb e
United States Senate, a representative of
the Constitution called to see biui at the
Kimball, and put some leading questions
to him on the subject. Tbe General did
not seem inclined to talk much on the sub.
ject. and so the question was put to him
pointedly: —If he would be a candidatefor
the United States Scnatorehip before the
Legislature at its next session?”
He replied that be had not directly or
indirectly requested his name to be used iu
hat connection.
“But, General.” we replied, “it is being
esed. and you have many friends in the
State who are pressing your name for thp
place.”
“Well,” said he, “I feel grateful for the
interest in my promotion to this favorable
position. I do not see that anything has
been said or done that will necessarily call
on me for a response. My own inclination
is to remain silent if permitted to do so. - ’
“Pardon us. General, but you cannot re
main silent while names are being so freely
discussed and the whole State is asking
the%nestion, ‘Who shall be the successor
of Mr. Hill?’ It is much easier to make
known vour views and attitude once for
all than to reply separately to the numer
ous questions, written aud oral, with which
you will be plied. Let us then inquire
whether you expect to be a candidate for
Senatorial honors? Do you really desire to
occupy the position which is soon to be
filled?”
“With tbe views I entertain,” said th e
General, “I cannot answer your question in
monsyllables. There are certain offices for
which no man has a right to make a per
sonal cauvass, aud that of United States.
Senator is eminently one of them. If a
citizen is selected to be the standard bear.
•‘ALMOST H0ME-“

Just as tlie starry crown was dropping from
the dusky hands of night, and the tender
light of dawn was stealing over the world,
bespeaking new activities for >ts busy

deathless summer of the immortal land ere

For man monthsdetah had been stealing

er of his party—the representative of cer
tain political principles and sentiments—it ia
not only his right, but it may become hi a
imperative duty to make an active canvas 3
and to use all honorable means to secure
success; but where all those upon whom
the eye of the public rest are in perfect
accord with tbe same party, State and
national, this high office can only be sought
actively on persoual grounds by the several
candidates. The agitation and discu3sior.
jn such canvass must all begin and end with
the special fitness, or the si’periorqualities
and attainments of one candidate or the
other. Without marking out any line of
conduct therefore for others, or attempting
iu the slightest way to criticise those who
may adopt a different course, I cacnot my
self enter into such a contest on such
terms. Hence, I believe this distinguished
honor should be conferred and not sought
as offices of profit may very properly be
sought. It is for others and not for my
self to decide whether my name shall be
used for ihe purpose indicated. Now. in
reply to your second inquiry. 1 frankly say
that if the State of Georgia should deem
me worthy of a seat in the United State,*
Senate, as one of therepresentalive3 of her
sgvere’gnity in that distinguished body, no
possible honor con’d be conferred on me
which I would so highly prize. And I may
without impropriety, add there is no other
political office which 1 have the slightest
desire to fill*. No one can appreciate more
highly than Ido the importance to tlie
Stale that high political office should be
properly filled, aud the dignity conferred
upon him who properly discharged ihe
functions of any such office. . ut I have
never permitted myself so to desire these
positions that I could enjoy the possession
unless obtained without such improper
sleking that I would fail to deserve them
should a different course be necessary to
success. I am more satisfied with the life
of a private citizen, which has vouchsafed
to me much more than the share ordinarily
alloted to man of happiness and content
ment.”
A Deserved Tribute-
rost-Appeal.
In the following eloquent extract we
think we see the band of a once dear
friend, Col. Jas. M. ^mythe, of
Augusta:
“But. now. in conclusion, we tarn briefly
to Mr. Stephens, not to present a eulogy
upon his iile, services and character, but to
defend him against the unjust, and, perhaps
malignant criticisms of bis political oppo
nents, professedly, in the Democratic ranks.
Long years ago the writer saw daily, in our
Slate Universiiy at classic Athens, a pale
and nither feeble look ng youth, who min
gled but little in those athletic recreations
so common with tbe young gentleman in
their collegiate life, it this is the golden
age of egotism, as some writer bps express

the yonth referred to,and though there was
something striking in bis dark lustrous
eyes, his aspiratious were concealed from
the most critical rvview. No one thought
of. or anticipated tbeD. though the youth's
talents were clearly seen aud recognized,
that he longed to reach that giddy height
where "fame's proud temple stood afar.”
That, which had made some drunk, had
made him bold, and year after year at the
bar aud on the hustings, he rose by decrees
under the mysterious operations of mind
and memory, awaiting tbe uprising of that
master thought that made him the admir
ation of people. At each step he was
crowned with uufading laurels aud tile con
fidence of the people. Ever true to prin
ciple, confidence was never betrayed, and
for for*y years, or more, we mayjdraw up the
veil, look back npou the stage of his life
and see his soul enshrined in dnty, and
however agitated by passion, never stained
by treachery to the vast and important
trusts confided to bis care. That youth
and that glorious man was Alexander U.
Stephens.
In the days of our bright tranquility his
transcendent abilities were exerted to add
to its prosperity, its fame and i'a true
glory: and in the dark boars of its trouble,
afflicted with physical ills, fe has given ns,
he has given the whole country, a work,
his “War Between the States” to save ss

an estimate upon the value of that work.

Vestiges of Creation.
The scientific world has long bceu
puzzled to ascertain the author of this
bold and daring work. An aulhor who
has startled the world by unfolding to
the human mind the wonders of crea
tion Who carries us back into old
chaos and evolves order and beauty cut
of chance and confusion and brings to
our astonished vision the successive
orders of creation as ihcy came into
being at the command < f the Great
Supreme. How they were suited to
the condition of the earth at the
time. How they passed away when the
world became fitted for a higher order
of life. He also tells us how the in
ternal fires of the earth Leaved the
mountains from the bottom of Old
Oce-n above the clouds. 'I he name of
this author may never be k.towu, and
let it, like the writer of Junius, remain
a secret, to the end of time, but never
let it be forgotten that W. A. Davis, at
YVhigham. Ga., is running one of the
cheapest stores in the State. Id these
rimes of push and enterprise it behooves
every one to spend their rnonev to the
best possible advantage and bargains
are being offered to every one. The
farmer who is the backbone and sup
port of the country is getting to be a
judge of goods and their values, and is
not so easily taken iD by smooth words
and fair promises; what he wants most
is Flern facts and plain figures. W. A.
Davis takes the lead and assures his
friends and the public that if fair deal
ings and fresh seasonable goods at real
close cash prices will gain their patron
age he is determined to have it. He
wants your patronage to make mon- y
out of you and will guarantee Dot to sell
you goods now at nor below c< st. but at
a reasonable a" J fair profit. Those who
propose to sell you goods at c.-st at this
season of the yea* usually intend t) de
ceive, and in plain wo: da, swindle you.
He allows no employee to take tbe ad
vantage of a customer. A clerk who
will swindle a customer for bis employer
will swindle his emplover for hiunelf.
None can afford to duplicate bis prices.
He claimes to be able to sell goods
cheaper than others because he owns
his own building and saves the large
rent usually paid by other merchants.
His store being detached front others
his insurance is light. He does an im
mense business and yet employs only
seveu men while some
others employ almost double the num
ber and do no larger business. He at
tends to his own business; buys for
cash, and last but not least, keeps his
business before the public by advertising
in The Democrat.
It is in.pi 8-ible to enumerate the
many bargains he is offering. Visit bis
store and my word tor it, you will
open your eyes id astonishment at tbe
outrageously high prices you have been
paying. A dollar goes a long ways at
hts store and five spent there gives you
a chance free at a beautiful silver Pickle
Stand.
He will bay your cotton and cotton
seed and pay you tbe cash fbr them.
