Yesterday was a iielu day at Bold
Spring.
There must have bc'n easily a
thousand people present, and if a
better humored or better entertaiued
crowd ever assembled i.i Thomas
county, we would like to hnvc the
time and the occasion named.
Early yesterday morning vehicle,
after vehicle might have been seen
ieqving town on the Jones bridge
road, and it would have been a safe
wager to lay odds that the occupants
thereof, were hound for Bold Spring.
The reporter aud his partner were
an insignificant part of the procession
named, and in good time the end of
t lie journey was reached
As soon as the grottud was reached
the number of vehicles that stood
about in the grove that surrounds the
church, gave some judication of the
immense crowd that was present.
The order of the day was opened
by Hon. Henry G. Turner, who
mounted the stage and faced the
waiting crowd a little after 10 o’clock,
Mr. Turner was at his best, and made
one of the greatest speeches of his
life. He outlined the election biU
now pending before congress, dwelt at
some length on the evils that come to
the country from the unjust tariff
laws, and defended the democratic
congressmen from the charge that they
had done nothing.
He traced the panic of 1873 to the
linaneiai policy of the republican par
ty, and said that at the first elec
tion held thereafter, a democratic ma
jority was returned to the House. He
showed that the democrats had never
had control of both branches of con
gress and the presidency at the same
time, but they had done ail they
could to relieve the contraction of the
currency. lie did not think the sub-
treasury bill was what the people
wanted. If the Pickier hill passed the
House it would he unconstitutional,
because the organic law said that all
officers under government must be nj.
pointed.
The 1‘ickler bill provides that the
managers of the warehouses should he
lie elected by the people where they
are located. If the Vance bill passed,
it would fasten an army of republican
office holders on the south. More than
this, he believed that the sub treasury
hills not being redeemable, would sink
to the level of the greenback during
and after the war, and that if the biU
was passed, the money kings on both
sides of the ocean would throw their
enormous holdings of national, state,
municipal and rnilaoad bonds on the
market, and that a panic would fol
low. Panics were started by the men
in Wall street and on Change in Lon
don, hut the farmers of the country
had to dig relief out of the ground.
He held that ths free coinage of sil-
vei and for which the democrats in
congress had made such a gallant
fight, a refusal to renew the charters of
the National hanks and the repeal of
the tax of 10 per cent on the circula
tion of hanks other than national,
would give the country plenty of
money ou which to do its business.
He strongly favored the revival of the
state hanking system and held that
their bills would be as safe as any.
The speech was well received and
threw much needed light on the finan
cial system of the country.
Then come dinner.
It was just such an one as the good
people of the 17th district knew how
to provide. If we know any stronger
praise we would use it.
After dinner Col. R. G. Mitchell
made one of his most taking speeches.
He touched in a short way the great
national questions, and then coming
down to state issues, said that he was
in thorough accord with the alliance
in all things, where their principles
were involved. He was not prepared
to endorse the sub-treasury bill, hut
realized that the country needed more
money. He said lie was born on a
farm, raised on a farm, and nil hi3
interests and sympathies were with the
farmers.
Prof. A. Q Moody followed with a
plain practical talk. He said that
the issue in Thomas county was be
tween Tliomasvillc and the politicians
and the people. He said that the
county had had one representative
Capt. N. R. Spongier, Bince 1883.
That Hon. Robert Alexander lived
in the town district, and was to all
intents, and purposes a town man.
1 Hon. J. M, Parker made the best
political speech, the reporter has ever
heard. It was plain, business like
and witty. He 3aid that he had
been called into the field by the whole
people, and if elected ho would prom
ise to work six days out of the week
and to do nothing of which the coun
ty would be ashamed. The reporter
said on a previous occasion that Mr.
Parker was a non talker. He retracts
with proper speed. , ■
Hon. A. AY. Ivey followed Mr.
Parker, in a breef talk, in which h
said that he would use bis best efforts
to promote the interests of the men
that bold the plow.
Mr. A. It. Jones and H011. A. T.
McIntyre, Jr,, made short talks. Mr.
McIntyre made a strong plea for unity
and peace.
Then the immense crowd wended
their way homewards, as did the re
porter, well pleased with all they bad
seen and heard.
Itcv. A. C. Stevenson was in town
yesterday.
AVc are pleased to see Mr. Dave
Elms back from the East.
On Their Feet Again.
It will he remembered that we pre
dieted the day after the big fire in
Brunswick, and which burned out
Messrs. Glauber and Isaac, that the
firm would he on its legs next day
notwithstanding their big loss. We
take the liberty of inserting the follow
ing extract from a private letter received
by the writer yesterday from Mr.
Isaac:
“I note your kind remarks and ex
pressions ot sympathy in regards to
our misfortune, and I assure you that
both are highly appreciated. It is
indeed gratifying in times like these
to know that one has triends. While
our loss is a very severe one, still
we are partially insured. AVc
will come out on the top again. AA’c
are yet afloat. I assure you that your
prediction in regards to doing a rat
tling business was right. I enclose
you a circular letter which we sent out
to everyone of our customers the
morning alter the fire.”
Reports from Colquitt county rep
resent it as solid for Turner.
To morrow the weary will linve a
duy for resj. May each and all enjoy
the calm, quiet and restful sabbath.
God intended that mnn should rest
one day in seven.
Flattering reports about the corn
crop reach us lrom all parts of the
county. 'Now if oiw farmers have
not neglected the hog crop, they are
solid.
The LeConte Pear.
AVith the growing magnitude and
importance of the LeConto pear crop,
it is growing more important every
season, that there should be some in
tclligent distribution of the crop.
Growers of this crop should organize
and see that each year’s crop is mar
keted and to the best advantage. If
the late melon exchange did nothing
else, it demonstrated the advantage of
having some head to direct the ship
ments so as not to glut any one mar
ket. Prices for pears have suffered in
many instances, for the reason that
too many were sent to one market at
one time. This can he avoided, nnd
should he.
Policeman Brawn lms been con
fined to his homo fur some time. His
partner, Mr. Gordon misses him—and
so does every one else. AA’e hope to
see him out soon.
I11 discussing polities remember
that the “other mot” is os much enti
tled to his opinion, as you are to yours.
This course will simplify the matter
very much.
AA’e understand that arc electric
lights will he erected, and the work
on the depot yards and tracks prose 1
euted at night. It will he cooler for
the hands, and then no switching
trains will interfere, with the work.
It is a healthy and hopeful sign of
the future, when the town is full of
buyers who come here to buy melons,
pears and other products directly
from tlie growers. Growers know
what tlioy are doing now.
Thomnsvillc summer tourists are
having a delightful time at the sum
mer resorts, while their less fortunate
frieuds—the Can’t-Gat-Aways, are
clothed in light raiment, using palm
leaf fans, and hugging the shady side
of the streets, with the thermometer
dauciug away up in tho nineties.
This, at one time, was a dull season
in Thoraasville. Tho watermelon,
Le Conte pear and other similar in
dustries havo changed things.
Everything about tho depot shows
business and un activity which speaks
volumes for tho future of Thomas
county.
Judge Guerry iu a speech deliver
ed in Dawsou, on Thursday, said he
did not appear in the nttitude of a
candidate, but said he would acecpt
nomination for congress if tendered
him by the democratic party. It is
not likely, judging from this language
that he will make any canvas.
Cut off From New York.
Yesterdny the country was cut off
from New York. None of the many
AVcstcrn Union telegraph lines cen
tering in that great metropolis, were
working. It was reported that the
main office of the AA r estem Union in
that city was destroyed by fire.
Exchance of Pulpits.
Rev. Geo. A\ r . Mathews, of AVny-
cross, On., and Rev. Mr. McDoncll
of this place, agreed to exchange pul
pits to-morrow. Mr. McDoncll will
go up to AYaycross to-day, and Mr.
Mathews will fill tiie pulpit of tho
Methodist church here on Sunday

the 1st of August with h is sister for a

The new Friendship Baptist Church,

impressive aid interesting. They wili
be conducted by the Rev. T. A. White.
Parties can leave here in the morning,
attend the services, spend the day in
Metcalfe, and return to-morrow at
5k3°-
It is likely that several will go down
lrom this place. They will he well
cared for by the hospitable people of
that thriivng little tewn. Mr. AVhite
is an able minister, one of the ablest
in this section.
