For tie Bamiur- Il’alf Aoms, ,
Gainksvitt.e, Skit. 13,1881.
I am not accustomed to writing for
newspapers, but 1 will attempt togive
you a few facts about the mountain
counties. Inthelastcampaign, when
ever any one from the mquntalns
made his appearance upon our streets
tlie town politicians would crowd
around to hear “the news,” and in al
most every instance it was favorable
to Speer, lime stamps everything
with a change, and oh! what a
change. Now the mountain counties,
with the single exception of Fanniif
are almost solid for Candler, at least
he will have a majority in them. Fan
nin has about as many white repub
licans as Morgan has colored republi
cans, and of course Speer will get their
votes. I can’t see why the white re
publicans support him so, for be gives
the offices in the ninth district to ne
groes and independents; and the ne
groes are not always in sympathy
with the masses of the colored voters.
Speer did stand np for Atkins when
every other Georgia member was
ngainst him, and this alone should
cause dispassionate, reasonable, jus
tice-loving men, to cast a solid vote
against him. Why is it that more is not
said about the Atkins matter? The
people should know how “Our Emory”
worked for his (Atkins) confirmation,
when eveL the liberal northern demo
crats would not come to his assist
ance ; and the most respectable repub
licans could not be induced to support
Atkins; but, oh! how “our Emory”
displayed his experience, and soplio-
moric eloquence in endeavoring to se
cure the confirmation of a radical not
competent to fill the office, and wore
distasteful to the respectability of his
own party. When Emory spreads on
wonted smiles, and plasters the sweet,
confident look on his countenance iu
referring to “his record,” he forgets to
throw iu, even by parenthesis, any
thing about how zealously he labored
for his friend Atkins. Emory will
not have much to say about his record
•when be makes the second round.
Paste the above in your hat, and see
if I am not a prophet.
I met two staunch men from Banks
county to-day, and they said up to
two weeks ago the county was about
eveu, but the change was miraculous,
and that nearly everybody was for
Allen Candler, and if there was nothk
ing to cause a change Banks would
give Candler four to five hundred hum
jority.
The news is glorious from Jackson,
Gwinnett, Forsyth, Habersham and
Franklin.
I-awshe says Candler lias not half
the sense that Bell or Billups has.
That may be true, but Candler is go-,
ing to win the race by a handsome ma
jority: for the people have seen the
error of their way, and are coining
back to the told, and will support the
man who “is of tlie people and for the
people.” No one ean doubt fora mo
ment that Col. Candler is far superior
to lion (?) Emory Speer as a states
man, and that his democracy and
pri nciples are pvrer. Below I give an
impartial uud liberal statement of the
vote of the respective counties. - a

THE STEAM ENGINE DOOMED.
Vennor’s Weather,—The follow
ing is Professor Vennor’s weather pre
dictions for the month of September i
From Jth to 14th, ooolerand pleasaut-
er weather, days varying from warm

Whatever else may survive in the
future, Dr. Siemens is certain that the
steam engine is doomed. Its fate is
first to be confined to the driving of
large dynamo machines, which will
distribute force at present supplied by
a myriad of small and wasteful steam
engines, and then to bo superseded al
together by the gas engine. Gas and
electricity maybe mutually hostile,
but they are to unite their foroes jn or
der to extirpate the steam engine.
The unpardonable sin of the steam
engine is that of waste. Even the best
of them consume two poundB of coal
per horse-power per hour; whereas,
says Dr. Siemens, when the gas-pro
ducer has taken tne place of the com
plex and dangerous steam boiler, it
will not take one pound of coal to de
velop one horse-power for one hour.
But before gas banishes Steam it will
supersede coal ap the agent for the de
velopment of steam.' A pound of gas
gives forth exactly twice the heat of a
pound of coal, and even this may be
improved upon. To burn raw coal is
to squander our inheritance. Dr)
Siemens gave some startling figures to
prove that the by-produets of the coal
annually used in gas making are worth
three millions sterling more than the
eoal used in producing them, without
allowing anything for the value of the
gas. Besides the products already
utilized 120,000 tons of sulphur are now
wasted every year, which may yet be
converted into a source of income. By
abolishing the use of raw coal, Dr.
Siemens maintains that science, as
with some! magician’s wand, will
“banish the black pall of smoke which
hangs over our great cities; and restore
to them pure air. bright sun-shine,
and blue skies.” Nor shall we even
have to suflfer as compensation from
the multiplication of enormous gas
ometers. The coal will be converted
into gas at tlie bottom of the mine—a
prospect not altogether to be contem-
8 luted without alanu by the workers in
ery seams—and the gas carried by
pipes wherever It Is wanted: Electric-
fly will also be made largely service
able for the distribution of power.
Even after allowing fifty per cent, for
loss In transmission, the gain Is still
enormous. The electric light will
chiefly be confined to lighting public
places. The gas light will hold its
own as “the poor man's frleud,” and
gas heating will beconte universal.
Thus, iu the near future Dr. Siemens
unfolds before- our eyes a world in
wbieb there will bo no smoke and no
Steam, and where coal will only be
visible In the immediate vicinity of
thle pit." Electricity will light onr
streets gas will cook our dinners, and
driving power will be laid on by wire

As Mrs. Emerald Verdigris will be
frequently quoted as the representa
tive of Peachtree upper tendom it
may not be amiss that we tell who
Mrs. Emerald Verdigris is. We will
premise the Introduction, however,
telling who Mr. Emerald Verdigris
Mr. Emerald Verdigris is an At
lanta capitalist. His wealth Is daz.-
zling. He began life in the piny woods
poor snub-nosed, freckled-faced boy.
When i the war came on Re was so
lucky aa to gebdetailed as an under
strapper for. a post quarter-master.
He was shrewd enough to make the
most of his opportunities and hecamo
out of the war well heeled with loot.
With a keen money instinct he saw
that the piny woods was no longer a
field for his genius so he gathered up
his spoils and came hack to the city
bringing with him his family’ consist
ing of Mrs. Emerald Verdigris and
his two children, Miss Samantha
Jane and Dulcarilda P. Verdigris.
The plunder he had saved gave him a
handsome start and with the wonder
ful opportunities presented by our
city he walked right along into
wealth without measure—builta forty
thousand dollar mansion on Peach
tree and is to-aay a magnificent ex
ample of the strange caprice of for
tune.
Mrs. Emerald”Verdigris is his wife
dutiful and very worthy„wife to
besure. She . was not always an au
thority in fashions as she is now. She
was once simply Dolly Jones, a bux
om piny woods girl, who thought noth,
ing of bolding a yearling calf off by
the tail while her sister Sally milked
the cow, But that was forty years
ago, and it is as hard now for Mrs.
Emerald Verdigris to realize that she
was once the simple Dolly Jones as It
would have been then for simple Dol
ly Jones to dream that fortune held in
the future for her such a wonderful
and bewildering gift of roses and pret
ty things. It would be better perhaps’
for the little proprieties of upperten-
dom If she could so far stoop from her
dizzy pedestal as to go back, if only in
dreams, to the place from whence she
came. It might possibly make her a
little more subdued in her pretensions
to aristocratic dignity.

wi Clip the following proceedings of
a colored republican meeting in Walton
conntv from the News arid Vidette. It
proves exactly, what, we have always
argued—that independents ami.republi
cans are one and the same. The negroes
know it, apd their Iroders are using a
ft»r confiding deipocraU as a lever by
whietj, . to turn the state again over to
radiciilruie. iforohe life of uswe.ean-
qot see flow any white democrat is ao
blinded to preference 'or an ambitious
politician as to sacrifice ids party, and
his country., The following are the of
ficial proceedings of the Walton county
republican meeting. Read It care
fully and then baud this paper to your
independent neighbor:
Fully J30 colored voters from all por
tions of Walton county assembled in
Monroa. on : , Saturday last. t’.
C. H. McKinley addressed the meeting.
Ho said the principles of the. Republican
party were: ,“A free ballot and a fair
count; free education and equal justice
to all mep.” . That these were the prin
ciples. of tlia independents also; that
the republicans aud independents were
precisely tlio same. That tiie republi
cans had laid aside their republican
ism,and tiie independents had laid aside
their democracy, and the two hail met
and called it independentism. Organ
ized democracy means something n .t
good for the negro. Let’s bust up the
organized democracy, and we will gain
here in Walton such glorious victories as
are now being gained in Southwest Geor
gia. The time is not far distant when
tiie republican party would march on to
victory in all this country. Told the'"
to go home and work forthe Independent
candidates, and pay no attention to the
organized democrats. Put men in office
who will give you office; vote for tlie
Independents, and be sure you get hold
of tiie right ticket. The chairman of the
convention then made a few remarks.
Bald he was in favor of the independents.

Children Bury a Playmate Alive.
• A horrible rumor comes to us of an
incredible act of foolishness on the part
of same colored children living near
Atoniah Creek, Putnam county, Flori-
ka, by the name of Williams. It seems
the children had been to a funeral
shortly before, and while playing at
home the other day the Idea of burial
came into their heads. A large hole was
dug and one of their number, a young
child hardly more than a baby, was put
in and covered up entirely. The other
children played around awhile longer,
but soon forgot their companion buried
alive, and wandered off. At night,
when inquiry was made after the miss
ing child, the horrible story was told.
The affrighted parents hastened to the
spot pointed out and dug np the child,
