Gordon in Rockdale. Conyers, Ga., Sept. 11.—‘‘There’s lio use in the general coming down here to look after us,” said an old soldier who bad left a leg on sonic victorious field nshesaw Gov. Gordon get ofl the train, “he might know we are all for him. You sec, we got that way in Virginia and we ain’t never gotten out of it, and whats more, we ain't cr gwinc to.” That is just the way of it. They are all for Gordon. A crowd came down to the Atlanta railway station to see him off for the war, and crowds were at every station to catch a glimpse of him as he went on his way Many alliancemen and other demo' crats got aboard the train at Decatur, Stone Mountain and Lithonia, to come to Conyers to hear the speech Maj. W. A. Broughton, treasurer of the state alliance, was on the train, and he said to me: “Gordon seems to be a little stirred up. There is no cause for it. He is the choice of the people and is already practically nominated." At Conyers a large crowd met the train. There were nearly all the prominent business men of the city, the leading farmers of Rockdale, and the head men of the alliance. From station to hotel it was a reception and a triumphant march. Old soldiers and men and boys of Conyers pressed around him to shake the hand and sec the noble, battle-scarred face of the hero and patriot. “We can’t do without you, gen* eral,” said a vetcrau of 18113. “We want you to lead us again." “111 do it,” said the gcneial. As he passed up the street another old warrior, whose empty sleeve drooped mournfully by his side, like the furled banner of the lost but undying cause, approached him. Gen. Gordon’s eyes softened as the empty sleeve recalled the years of fighting for his country, lie grasped the veteran by the hand that war had spared, and, pointing to his sleeve, said: “I would rather fall under that banner than prosper under any other.” The soldier could not find his voice ns he turned away, and the spirit of the old hero’s days came hack into his heart. Gov. Gordon spoke at the court house to a large and enthusiastic crowd.—Atlanta Journal. Anything in This. A report has appeared in several papers that a certain member of the legislature was paid $100,000 in stock for getting the bill through the legisla ture offering the Okcfenokec swamp for sale. Of this report the Columbus Enquiret-Sun says: "Is there as any scandal connected with the recent legislation providing for the sale ol the Okefenokee swamp ? We do not know that there is, but it is alleged that the bill was lobbied through, and that a member of the General Assembly who engineered the measure and who was most active in securing its passage, is now one of the largest stockholders in the Okefenokee company, and was paid $100,000 in the stock for his services in the Legis lature. This was a vast property for tne State to give away, and it was given away for p song. Whether or not the charges made be true, they ire gaining wide public circulation, end it is due the people of Georgia as well as the “Okefenokee syndicate, that the facts be ascertained.” Are the old Confeds to be Snubbed ? Among the memories of the late war none have been cherished with greater tenac.ty and pride by the peo ple of this State than those connected with the hero sm, the loyalty, the self- sacrificing sp : rit and the noble endu rance of the Georgia troops. The record they made should be an ever- enduring monument to their gallantry and bravely, gloried in by the survi vors, and revered by their children and their children’s children. We trust the day will never come whe i the ser vices of these heroes and their noble leaders will ever be contemned* or spoken ol lightly, without evoking emjihatic protest and resentment. The majority of these veterans, who shed lustre by their hero ic deeds on the Sou h and her cause, have passed the semi cen tennial ot life or are rapidly verging to that point. And what great reward have they received during the past quarter of a century? Have they not relied upon themselves, proven their independence and manhood in their honest labor in building up the waste places of their Southland and restor ing their homes and S ale to prospcri ty ! Are these the men to be classed as “those fellows ?” Will not every man, whether he be farmer or busi ness man, Allianccman ornon-Alli- anceman, who at the sacrifice of every material interest and the risk of his life, “fought for his country once,” feel indignant at being contemptuously classified as "those fellows ?” While it is true that some of the most conspictous leaders have been honored in various ways, it has been chiefly at the hands ol their followers, who have been moved by the love and admiration which they bear for the men who led them into the thickest of the fray and shared its dangers with them. It can be truthfully said that the officers and men of the Confeder ate army have not, nor can they be too liberally rewarded. Few of these have received more than the gratelul rememberance of the States they have served so well In Georgia thousands of them have had no recognition beyond this-, have asked' f r none ; but they do claim the right and privilege of honor- ing their leaders, and are justified in re senting any attempt to depreciate their services. Such effort to prejudice sentiment against the "old soldiers” by intimation that they expect more consideration for their service than they deserve comes with bad grace from any source, but specially so when flippantly made by th >se who never experienced the dangers and the hard ships of the tented field in defense of their country’s cause. Hence the reference by the South ern Farmers’ Alliance, in its war cn Gen. Gordon, to “those feilows who have fought for their country once” and think they have a right to do as tiey please for all time to come, will not be relished by the hundreds of old heroes in the ranks of the Alliance who hold their "war record” as above all other considerations. Why should these veterans be reterrtd to contem- tuously as “those fellows,” and what Kature should he assisted In the swing to throw off the heaviness of ffie sluggish winter circulation of the blood.

BEVERLY & BURCH, THOMASyiLLE, GEORGIA. 9-3d&Wtt evidence does the political history of this State present that '".hose fellows” (Confederate veterans) “think they have a right to do as they please for all the time to come ?” What justifi cation lias the editor of the Alliance to cast this comtemptuous slur upon the veterans who are willing to again hon or their gallant chieftain? Georgia veterans will hardly accept with equan imity being classed as "those fellows.” It is the first lime that the Confeder ate soldiers have been so referred to in any Southern print, and may it be the last. The above from the Enquirer-Sun, Columbus, expresses the views ol thousands of old soldiers. Mr. Harry Brown, the man who essays to ••fix” things in Georgia, alludes to Gordon, Phil Cook, Boh Mitchell and the thous ands of scarred, one legged, one armed, heroes, who faced death on a hun dred battle fields, as “those fellows who fought for their country once.” Yes and Georgia holds no truer men to-day than these men "who fought for their country once.” Mr. Brown’s sneers at these men who sacrificed everything for the South, will not harm John B. Gordon, and the men who followed him, mid storms of bullets, shot and shell. The people or Gcor- gia, if they have a spark of love left for the men who wore the gray, will resent this slur and ex confederate soldiers. Grand Central Hotel, WAYCROBS, <JA. With Electric Lights.
