Gordon Goes for Norwood.
Mr. Norwood has written a letter to
Governor Gordon, proposing a joint
discussion. To this the governor re
plies as foflows:
Hon, T. M. Norwood, Savannah, Ga:
Dear Sir— I accept with pleasure
your challenge for a joint debate, if
you will frankly and publicly announce
yourself a candidate for the Senate.
Your interview led the couutry to un
dersland that you were anxious to be
elected, while unwilling to declare
your candidacy. You must perceive
the manifest inequality of the plat
forms on which we would respective
ly stand in a joint debate, with my
public announcement of ray Candida
cy, while you are seeking to place
yourself in the attitude of a sacrificing
patriot who prefers “private life,” and
will only consent to serve in the Sen
ate in order to save your country.
Besides, if I am to meet in joint dc
bate every man who might challenge
me while denying his candidacy, my
whole time would be occupied until the
meeting of the Legislature. Declare
your candidacv in an open letter or
public announcement to the people,
and you will find me ready to meet
you anywhere on equal footing and
equal terms.
One word a3 to my remarks which
you quote: I have never yet assailed
Grand Jury Presentments Col
quitt County.
Gcorgin, Colquitt County:
Tlic Grand Jury for the September Term,
1890, ol Colquitt Superior Court, licg leave
to submit the following general present
ments, to-wit:
We find some of the roads of the county
in good condition, but a great mtny arc in
a bad condition. We direct the attention of
the commissioners to this matter, and re
commend that they see to it that tiiey arc
put in order ns soon ns possible.
We recommend repairs to lie made on the
following bridges, to-wit:
The Okopilco bridge on the Moultrie anil
Sumner ro id.
The Bridge Creek bridge on the Moultrie
nnd Camilla road.
The committee appointed by the last
grand jury to investigate the records report
ed to us that the books of the Ordinary are
in a neat condition, io far n3 they could ns-
•rtain.
Thai the books and records of the Clerk
were beautifully kept and conveniently in
dexed.
That the Treasurer’s hooka show the re
ceipts for last year were $2,982.57, disburse
ments, $2,154.39, treasurer's commissions,
$112.92, leaving a balance of $155.20 in the
treasury.
That the records of the County Commis
sioners ore not kept in a satisfactory man
ner, nnd recommend a mure detailed and nc-
curate system.
That the Tax Collector lias failed to lay
his books before the committee.
The grand jury ndopted this icport nnd
continued the committee with Instructions
to report to the next grand jury.
We censure the Tax Collector for bis fait
urc to bring bis books to the committee, nnd
recommend that be report to the said
committee and the county commissioners on
the 26th instant, to make a complete settle
ment.
We learn that the papers in Ordinary's of
fice, under Judge Henry Gay's administra
tion, are badly scattered nnd many of them
not on record. We recommend that the
county commissioners consider the advisabil
ity of getting these records in proper legal
shape.
We renew the recommendation of the last
grand jury that the county commissioners
provides suitable chairs for the court, bar
and juries, and a suitable safe for the clerk’s
office. We impress upon them' the import
ancc of this matter.
Wc recommend the appointment of the
following Notaries Public and ev-olficio
Justices of the Peace, to-wit;
W. W. Baker for the 137-ttli District, 0.
M., to fill the vaenney caused by the failure
ofDanicl Lott to take up bis commission
S. L. Uenti for the 1020th District G.
to fill the vacancy caused by the expiration
of the term of James Durst.
Wc recommend that jurors and bailiffs
for the ensuing year be paid $2 per day.
We recommend that the sheriff lie paid
$15 for extra services.

renting an assault first made upon me. Rountree, for their courtesies and kindness
This has been the invariable rule of to our body.
*ny life, and you furnish no exception
to this rule. You wer.t out of your
way before your name had ever been
mentioned by me, to say some very
unworthy things about me in your in
terview.
You did not designate me by name,
but you spoke of the one candidate,
and every man in Georgia knows that
referred to me. You said that you
did not consider it any “sin" to run
against that candidate, and that the
Senate was not “private property,’' as
though I had assumed to own the Sen
ate as ray private estate, and there,
fore that I accepted the absurd and
contemptible attitude of holding a
“sin" to have any man oppose me.
Nothing could be more unprovoked or
unjust and few things rould^bs more of-
feiive to a man or ordinary sensibilities.
It was this unworthy tak of yours,
under the guise of being no candidate
and “preferring private life," while
seeking to damage me in the estima-
tion'of the people, that called forth the
criticism of which you complain. I am,
respectfully.
John B. Gordon.
Items from the Augusta Chronicle:
fiam Jones says: "I am so glad
that whenever any ono else tries to
preach ns Ido, he makes an ass of
hiuoelf.”
“When Gordon goes campaigning
in Georgia," says The Millcdgeville
Recorder, “the other fellow’s hash is
settled.”

Rain Damaging Cotton.
Atlanta, Ga., Sept. 14—The rains
since the 1st ol August haae made a
vast difference in the cotton crop, and
the present outlook is that, in Geor
gia, it will be at least 25 per cent.
This information comes from the de
partment of agriculture of the state,
through an interview with Col. John
Waddell, commissioner.
A HEAVY FALLINC OFF.
He says: “Our report of the con
dition of the crop Sept. 1 was 81 per
cent^fec a vcrage. That was fal
ling uWt twelve points during August.
This was due to rust caused by the
excessive rain, and the same cause
will depreciate the condition of the
crop at least ten points more by the
time our October report comes in.
STILL FURTHER DAMAGE.
«The rains ot the past two weeks
have made the rust much worse, and
there is already additional damage of
ten points since Sept. 1.1 have been
nearly all over the state and know
whereof of speak. The rust is par
ticularly bad in Southwest Georgia.
In North Georgia the crop condition
of the crop is better, but the best re
port come from counties where there
is not much cotton raised."

Columbus, Ga., Sept. 14.—Rev.
