A BRILLIANT SOCIAL SEA
SON PROMISED.
The Season Opened With a Par
ty, Complimentary to Miss
Nettie Budd.
September opens the social and
dramatic season, os well as the busi

aro already looking about to enjoy
themselves, and the indications are
that social events will be numerous,
and many of them novel, this season.
The coming threatrical season prom
ises to be a very brilliant one, and al
ready theatre parties are being talked
of for the opening night, September
27tb, and no doubt the McNish com
pany will make their first appearance
in Thomasvillc before a large and
fashionable audience.

Everett and Felton
Editor TiMES-Esrsarnsz
Although wo are a long way off
from the 7th congressional district,
and have no vote in its elections, we
are near enough to see that the action
of the sorehead democrats at Rome in
bringing out Dr. Felton in opposition
to Mr. Everett, is a step in the wrong
direction.
The solidity of the south in secur
ing and preserving the ascendancy of
the white race in our beautiful south
land, is the pressing question of the
day, and he or they, who take a posi
tion in this critical time which direct
ly or indirectly tends to disturb and
hazard the unity of tho people on this
great question, is either a real enemy
or a friend in disguise, whose actions
should be closely watched, and set
down on with a force and purpose,
which will be felt.
The devil sometimes puts on the
livery of heaven the more effectually
to work out his nefarious purposes,
The Rome soreheads style themselves
the “Jeffersonian Democracy,” as
though there was some other sort of
democracy, and under this cloakary
to upset the wishes of the best people,
and nullity the hopes and prospects of
the farmers of their district, and de
tent them in bringing forward for
consideration their plans nnd prospects
for the future, ns represented in the
person and candidacy of their chosen
leader, Mr. Everett.
Suppose this experiment of the sore
heads succeeds; the leaven will be
spread all over the state, and whnt
will become of us in Southern Geor
gia? An unprincipled so callod dem
ocrat may, like Dr. Felton, denounce
the alliance ns an oath bound, secret
political institution, and with the aid
ot soreheads and negroes, place the.
white men, women and children, in an
unfortunate social and political con
dition. The nervy leader they have
selected, with his previous record star
ing everybody in the face, is an insult
and a threat which the farming com
munity should take to heart. The
nllianco may be denounced and cari
catured, but without them what
would either the country or the sore
head democrats,be.
Everybody who is posted in the cur
rent news of the day, knows that while
Dr. Felton is a man of eminent abili
ty, he is a politician, aud has a faeili
ty for changing his position whenever
he can discover a current in which he
can sail into office. At one time he
is an independent and runs for office
on that line. Next, he is a milk and
cider democrat, and iuns for office
on that line. Now he is n Jeffersoni
an democrat, aud is outHeroding
Herod in his thirst and greed for a
scat in congress.
The people of this region of country
aro not personally acquainted with
Mr. Everett. But he is by both
friends and political enemies, reputed
to be an elegant gentleman, worthy
aud well qualified to he a representa
tive in Georgia in the next congress.
And it is due to him and the good of
the country, that every body all over
tho state, who desires to maintain and
secure white supremacy, should give
him their sympathy and hold up his
hands as far as they can.
Citizen.
Messrs. E. H. Tomlinson and J.
W. Chapman, of St. Louis, are at the
Stuart.
Mr. $. Ay. Stone, formerly with
Mr. Jennings, has bought the splendid
nursery of Col. Wm. McLendon.
This is one of tho finest collections of
LcContc and other, fruits in this sec
tion. Mr. Stono is a young man of
energy, end ho will no doubt make
tho business pay.
The watch offered to the one guess
ing nearest the population of the city,
is still at R. Thomas’, waiting for the
official announcement from Washing
ton, before being awarded.
Postmaster Smith is cleaning up
and putting tho interior of tho post
office in order. This will be appre
ciated by the public. And this re.
minds us that Mr- Smith is doing ev
erything in his power to give the pub
lic a good majl service.
Mr. Ed. Crittenden is no longer
With the Messrs. Pringle. Wo under
stand ho will probably go on the road
soon for a Thoniasville jobbing house.
A good many republican candidates
for congress arc being nominated—ta
stay at home.
Livingston the Man.
The Covington Star, Livingston’s
homo organ, says:
Mr. Livingston cannot now be said
to be in the race for senator, but from
the present indications among the Al
liance, we believe he will be swept
into it upon the swelling current long
before the Legislature meets in joint
session in November to elect a sena
tor.
This is the outlook now, and
honestly believe Mr. Livingston will
be the man put torward to make the
race in opposition to Gov. Gordon, if
any man is entered against him at all.
Direct Trade.
The direct trade convention lias been
in session in Atlanta. A committee
was appointed to consider the subject
of direct trade. They made the follow
ing report:
Resolved, That committee recom
mend to the convention the creating
of a corporation to promote direct
trade at some point on the South At
lantic coast, and another to promote
direct trade at some gulf port, each
company to be capitalized at 81,000,-
000, with power to incrcaso it to 810,-
000,000.
The report was adapted.

Tho Covington Star, Mr. Living
ston’s home paper, says: “Your Undo
Tommie Norwood will not bo elected
United States Senator this year. Per
haps s’mother year. You can put
this down in your memorandum.”
Yes, and you enn put it ‘‘down in
your memorandum” that your Undo
Lonnie Livingston will not be elected
United Stntcs Senator this year. The
first letter of the next Senator’s name
is John B. Gordon.
