There is a regular tidal wave here for Carlton, and M r. Keese has no more ehance of capturing Elbert than he has ol succeeding Cleveland as President of the Coiled States. There is an uprising of puliiie sentiment against him—not on account, however, of his appointment of the postmaster at this place, for he could tint have made a 1.alter selection or one .rou.d give our people more entire satisfaction—but wc think ho has been honored already far beyond his merits. •V: lleese is a good democrat, hut as a congressional failure his name will he caned high on the temple of renown. 5., you need no longer p ace Elbert in se doubtful column of either Bacon or ailion, for our people's minds have made up. \\ e had a very interesting railroad meeting Tuesday, and I firmly believe that it wit! result in linking Elberton and Athens together with bands of iron. .Messrs.

We had two railroad projects on foot, but discarded the Au- gttat.i and Chattanooga, and determined to devote our energies solely to building •l’“ line from Abbeville, S. C., to Athens.

English has returned home from the Georgia Midland road. He came to Atlanta Friday and will probably re turn on Friday next, making a visit of a seek in Atlanta. Capt. English has the contract for building a portion of this road and tiie Capitol met him to ascertain some facts as to how the work was pro cessing. ’’Captain, is everything going smooth ly'" asked the reporter. "Yes, work is being pushed rapidly.” "Ho you flunk that this enterprise will meet witli absolute success?” "Yes, I do. It runs through one of the prett.est countries in Georgis. The far mers are all doing well. The raise an vnimlance of oats and produce.” "Is the country through which the i ne will run thickly settled?” "A es; there is a house about every half mil.—very thickly settled.” "How many hands are employed on ’.ins road?” "1 would suppose that there are about a thousand men at work on it at present.” "How long will the line be when coin- I’leted?" "Well, somewhere near a hundred tniles long." “Captain, when do you think thisroad » .ll he completed?” "Bell, about the first of next May trains will be running on this road.’t ' apt. English said that they would ’‘nun begin to place the track, starting at ' oluuibus. He says this road has a bright future.

Jenkins, w ldg, and Uerschel V. Johnson, demo- rfat, not only elected a Governor for Georgia, hut complet* ' changed the >f edict that had been accepted by the I '.iple. Every county in Georgia had been heard from except Franklin, and Jenkins wss 500 votes ahead. The *htgs decided that this majority could tint be overcome in a single county, and held jubilees all over the state. At last the vote of Franklin was received, and it 8*>e a solid majority of 900 for Johnson, 'hus insuring hit election and overturn- l *te accepted result The whig! looked upon Franklin with the utmost abhorrence as long as that party existed. DANIELSVILLE DOINGS. The Madison Democracy to Meet First Tuoi- d*y In July—Itoek Law Electlon-A Young Oambler-A Fight-other New. From the Frae state. Daniilsvilli, May 31.—Major R. H. Bullock, whom Madison county has long delighted to honor, has been chairman of the democratic executive committee of this county from the time whereof the memory of man runneth not to the con trary, and for all that time it has been hia invariable custom for the purpose of selecting delegates to gubernatorial and congressional conventions to call a meet ing of the democratic party of this coun ty to meet here on the first Tuesday in July. According to this time-honored custom, Major Bullock has issued a call for a meeting of the democratic party of this county, to be held on the first Tuesday in July next, for the purpose of nominat ing delegates to the gubernatorial conven tions and to the congressional convention for the 8th district. Should this plan of attending to our own business fail to please anybody's uncle or cousin, or big newspaper, why just let them come over and board with us till the day of our meeting and whoop ’em up and regulate us. They've got a months' fair warming to do it in, and if they don’t get the kind of delegates from Madison they want, let them not whine about unfair meetings. If they can whoop up any more men in this county for the other fellow than Madison oounty can find for Bacon, let them trot those men out to the mass meeting. But the truth is, they can’t find them, and Madison county will send Bacon delegates all the same. A petition from Grove Hill,382 district, is in the hands of the Ordinary, asking for an election on the stock law in that district. The election will be called at an early day. Petitions are being circu lated for Brookline and Harrison dis- districts. Should these districts go for stocck law, it seems that the balance of the county will be almost forced to adopt the same. A certain father, while walking over his farm last Sunday, unexpectedly came upon a son almost grown playing cards with some neighbor boys. When the father, upon reaching the house, attempt ed to chastise slid son for his transgres - sions, he found he had struck his match, xml had to call upon another son to help finish the job.

Smith, bdcau.se of some differences, left Mr. Smith and are gone to work with Mr. W. B. Massey, at the saw mill. Mr. L. J. Greene, of Carnesville, has been visiting his uncle, J. A. Greene, and family, here, but returned home to day. Hon. B. F. Camp, of Carnesville, was here yesterday. He is not now in the race for congress, and says Franklin is sure for Bacon for Governor. Miss Cornelia Bird, of Athens, is visit ing relatives here. Miss Clara Daniel and Mrs. J. T. Wil liams went to Athens to-day shopping. You made two errors in publishing notes from here. You say I. J.

Major McWhorter the Uordon and Reese Leader--Marehlac In a Body oa Grants- horo—The County Thoroughly Worked and Attention NowTuraod to Oglethorpe. Gbeexe County, Go, June 2.—Editor Banner-Watchman: You must not he too sanguine about carrying this county for either Bacon or Carlton, unlesa the democracy will bestir themselves. Ma jor R. L. McWhorter has adopted both Gordon and Keese, followed by his en tire family and their immense influence, and he is working night and day to tri umph. The Major is a shrewd politi cian, and I can hear of him at all points. On last Tuesday he came into Greenes- boro at the head of a hurrahing crowd of voters, collected from the four corners of the county, with an evident intention of taking snap judgment and thus carry ing the county for his favorites; but there were enough Bacon men on hand to scotch the little game and order a prima ry election. We can yet whip the fight if the Bacon men will get to work and turnout and vote; but if they rest on their oars and turn the politics of our county over to the McWhorters and their followers, you had as well concede Greene in advance to their ticket. I learn that they are boasting that they will carry Greene three to one, and Oglethorpe two to one. In fact, I learn that Major Bob, having worked this county to his entire satisfaction, has now gone into Oglethorpe, with a view of manipulating that county, too, for Gor don and Reese. It is reported here that a meeting was held at Major McWhorter's house last Sunday, at which a delegation of politi cians from Lexington were present, and a programme mapped out for the coming campaign. I have carefully investigated this report, and there is no doubt about its being true. This Sabbath political caucus is said to have settled the vote of two counties. Do the democrats of Greene and Oglethorpe need any further appeal to lead them to Bacon and Carl ton? Do they intend to let a Sunday caucus shape their political destiny? We trust not. Democrats of Greene, arouse and get to work! Y'ou have the numbers, and all we lack is the enthusiasm. Greene. A Captain's Fr tunate D lsovery. Capt. Coleman, schr.

Everybody who has ••• ids. of f na were on the lookout for the rough-and- tumble fight that was reported to come off yesterday evening at 4 o’clock. The faculty, who have the welfare of the Uni versity at heart, were on the lookout to try and stop the difficulty. The police all looked knowing, and were circulat ing around the campus to see what they could find out If a carnage with a cover on it left the livery stable it was closely watched to see who got in it A false trail was produced by a carriage going up the street with a student and a lady sittingon the back seat This was the carriage that contained one of the com batants, who had dressed up in woman's clothes to deceive the police, and a large crowd followed as soon as this fact was made known. Another dodge was taken to throw the police and the faculty off the track—that the whole affair had been declared off, as the laculty had inter fered, and the two young men had agreed to defer it until some future time. One of the combatants left his room and walked down College avenue, displaying his well-trained muscles and a determi nation in his eye to never give up. Bets were made on every corner, and, in a few instances, odds were given on which one would get the best of the fight A gentle shower fell about the time they were to repair to the battle ground, which had been selected outside of the city limits, that served to cool the ardor of those who were anxious to see the difficulty. A reporter of the Banner-Watchman did his best to find out where the fight was to take place, hut all of his efforts were in vain, as the students were not only dumb, but deaf to all of his inquiries. Late in the evening he saw a knowing looking student, who informed him that the fight was to occur at Mitchell’s bridge, just outside of the incorporation, where the police could not interfere with the innocent amusement of the college boys. The reporter, finding out wbe re the fight was to take place, hired a car riage and gave orders to the driver not to spare the whip, but to get ns to the* scene of the encounter as quick as possi ble. The driver took in the situation, and knowing that a sensation was always necessary to make a live newspaper, plied the whip to his horses and soon w were on the ground with many others who bad qpme out to see the fight The referees were chosen and at half past four o’clock the young men stripped for the fray, each one showing fine mus cle. The first round was fought in 15 minutes, and at the end of 20 minutes the judge declared it a draw, each one of the combatants being badly punished. We forbear giving names, as itsnight possibly reach the ears of the professors and sub ject the two young men to some incon- synopslx Of the Address Made hy Capt. Carlton at Greeueshore. Hina Journal. Atthe point of adjournment Capt J. C. Hart announced that Hon. H. H. Carl ton mto had come to Green night before byinritatidn of theGi boro Carlton club, was detained in the city by the disarrangements growing out of the change of ’ gauge on the railroads- He suggested that upon request, Captain Carlton might address the meeting. A recess was then agreed to until 1:30. At the latter hour the court room rapidly refilled and Captain Carlton made a rous ing speeeh. Of his competitor, Mr. Reese, he spoke with great respect. With the personal phases of this contest he had nothing to do. It was the privilege of the people in their best judgment and through the proper methods to decide for themselves the fitness of the candidates, regardless of other questions. He then briefly out lined his attitude toward some of the live questions relating to the people of the South at large and to Georgia in particu lar. He was opposed to indiscriminate pauper emigration, hut in favor of the settlement in this state of the farming element which had developed progres sive industry and evinced good manage ment at their homes. That class ought to be invited and fostered. To those who opposed the coinage of silver becauseYt was redundant, he had to, say that he only hoped to see the day when the dollar in any form should be redund-- ant in she south and in Georgia. He re viewed the varied climate of the state, its agricultural, mineral and miscellane ous wealth, and proclaimed Georgia not only the Empire State of the South, hut of the world. He cautioned the people against spurious systems of labor under specious names. He warned them that unless they held aloof from certain com binations, such as that which had brought so much disaster to Chicago and other places west, a hitter fate 'awaited them. He wanted them to manage the labor question with a common sense cer tainty; that the methods how employed were the best for them if controlled and managed by themselves and not interfer ed with by organizations that wee bent on the disruption of tried methods and the introduction of experimental labor fanaticisms. Capt. Carlton spoke at some length, and produced a pronounced impression L in his favor. At the conclusion he was surrounded by numbers of the people, and a grand hand-shaking ensued. Thee is not a shadow of doubt that Geene county will elect Carlton dele gates by an overwhelming majority.

Both sides ve# well organized and went to work with n will. Cireotar* were distributed hy the friends of Gen. Gordon, and oottriers sent into every district to work np a boom for Gen. Gordon. Free rides and cheap railroad rates were offered Its induce ments. The Bacon men, through their organ- gsnized clubs in each ward, did heroic work, and could, either at primary or mass meeting, have carried the day six to one had their strength been polled. At a few minutes of 12 all eyes were turned to Broad street, where the name of Bacen was heard ringing out on the air and the procession filled the street from Broad street to the court house. This contingent of the workingmen of the Fifth ward was viewed with a dis mal eye by the opposition, the hone and sinew of the working classes showing their good judgment, hy following under the banner of the reform candidate, th* Hon. A. O. Bacon. The merchants and laboring classes were almost solid, and the entire bar of the city, with perhaps four exceptions, were for Bacon. Maj. Jos. B. Cummings, one of the best, most discreet and popular men in the county ef Richmond, was elected chairman of the meeting. Major Cum mings made a very short but very ap propriate address on taking the chair. John M. Graham was elected secreta ry of the meeting. NOMINATISO THE DELEGATES. Hon. Patrick YValsh walked to the front of the portico and addressed the chair. He was greeted with prolonged cheering. Mr. Walsh spoke as follows: Mr. chairman and fellow-democrats; I cordially concur in the admirable senti ments expressed by the chairman of this meeting. Let us have a fair count and an honest expression of the voice of Richmond county as to its preference for the high office of governor. [Cheers.] I do not propose to make any speech, as this is not the time er occasion for ad dresses. I propose to comply strictly with the recommendations of the demo cratic executive committee of this coun ty. As the representative of the sup porters of Major Bacon, I prill read to you our resolutions and list of dele gates to the Gubernatorial Convention. If the delegates and the resolutions meet with the approval of Richmond county, it will be your pleasure and your duty to vote for them. RESOLUTIONS or MR. WALSH. There can be no organized democracy unless those who profess fealty to party carry out in good faith the recommenda tions and resolutions of the regulariy constituted committees appointed to voice the sentiments of the party, and protect the interests in national, state and county politics. The democratic executive committee of this state has left the county executive eo’- aittees free to direct the party to se lect delegates t# the state conventions either by primaries or mass meetings. In its wisdom and in the exercise of its undoubted authority, the executive com- rnittc of the democratic party of Rich mond county has ordered a mass meet- ing of democrats to be' held at the court house on Friday, the fourth day of June, at 12 o’clock (noon), for the purpose of selecting delegates to the gubernatorial convention, t* be held in Atlanta, July 28,1880. We recognize the right and deem it the duty of the committee to name the time, place and manner for the members of the party to express their preference. The executive committeo of this county having decided upon a mass meeting to select delegates, all democrats, who respect authority and value party organization as the effective means of party supremacy, should unite in carrying eut the directions of the committee. The democratic party of Richmond county recognize in Hon. A. O. Bacon, of Bibb, a man in every way qualified to discharge the duties ef the office of gov ernor. A lawyer eminent in his profes sion, a legislator conspicuous for long and distinguished services as Speaker of the House, familiar with all the legisla tion of the state, a democrat who has rendered efficient service to the party, a citizen capable, honest, - able and in every way equipped for the office, we, the democrats of Richmond county, re quest our delegates to the state conven tion to support him for the nomination. We have the fullest confidence in the in tegrity and ability of Hon. A. O. Bacon to give the people of the state a pure, economical and wise, administration. Thirty-fire delegates were appointed by this meeting as delegates to the dem ocratic state convention, with authority to fill vacancies, to cast the vote of Rich mond for Hon. A. 0. Bacon for the nom ination for governor. Mr. Chairman—I move the adoption of the resolutions and the appointment of delegates—the choice of Richmond coun ty to be ascertained by the appointment of four tellers, two from each side, who shall count the votes for Hon. A. O. Ba con and Gen. John B. Gordon, and re port the Tote for each candidate to the chairman, who will declare the result as to the choice of Richmond county for governor. The vote was taken and Bacon, the people’s chbice, received 806 votes, while the Warrior only received 187. As goes Richmond, s* goes, the state. HOW THE VOTE STANDS.

CLARKE COUNTY SIXTY YEARS. An Interestlnc Sketch Given iy an Old i - and Honored Cltlxen. Times have wonderfully changed in the last sixty years—whether for the bettetjor worse the writer leaves for the reader to judge for himself without moralizing on the subject. At the aforesaid date there was no bridge across the Oconee river either at Simonton’8, or where Princeton factory was erected in 1837. ' The ford at Si- monton’s had a rough, rocky bottom, and it was not unusual for horses to stumble and fait, and thereby immerse the occu pants of the saddle, for there were no buggies in those days anu the boys and girls all rode on horseback—bye the bye the most convenient situation in which to do “tall courting” that ever was de vised, for a pretty girl looked prettier, on horseback than anywhere else, and a fel low whs would not fall overbeade on ears in love with the fair equestrinne, deserved a bath in Simonton’s ford and have his nose Skinned on the scraggy rocks. That ford was then known as “Crow ley’s fish traps,” and shad caught in Urge traps in abundance, no mill dams below them impeding the passage of the fish up the river, or as a senator from CUrke expressed it, in a bill introduced hy him in the senate of Georgia, to allow the shad to have “a free perspiration up the river,” to which an old humorous senator from wire grass advocating the bill, remarked that he agreed with the mover, but wanted to know why the senator from Clarke wanted to give the fish such a devil of a sweat, or if it was necessary for their health or to improve their flavor.” The ford at Princeton crossed the island opposite or just below where the factory dow stands, both streams having smooth bottoms, being seldom past '"ording and not considered dangerous to cross. The county tax for bridges was then xery small, and people never remained at home for want of means to travel except in freshets, for evenjour good old grand mothers could ride wild horses, and would banter the boys fora race. Athens and Watkinsvillc were about equal in population, not counting tho students—indeed, about that time the Watkinsville academy numbered about as large a number as Franklin college As many goods were sold in Watkins ville as in Athens, and at one season the ladies of Athens and vicinity bought their dry goods in the former placei the stocks being larger and of greater variety. The population of the county was com posed of noble men and women, gener ous, unselfish and truthful—the greed for gain had not rendered them selfish and chilled the genial fires of the soul, hut hospitable, kind and social, they encour aged no artificial wants, matle no large debts and paid when demanded. In the county a neighbor would have been ostra cised who would have charged a friend for a few bushels of corn, a load of fodder or shucks, a quarter of heel] pork or Iamb when he himself had a surplus and could spare. The old folks visited each other frequently. Quarrels were almost un known. The middleaged were sufficient ly industrious to provide “things honest in the sight ef all men,” and dispensed their hospitality freely to all who came. The young folks met at quilting bees and parties where innocent plays whiled away the hours, and if occasionally green eyed jealousy caused a fisticuff (for no one thought of killing another because his girl loved 'tother fellow best) friends in terposed, the feud was heated, they had to treat the crowd and peace agnid reign ed in Warsaw. Density of population is not favorable to the increase of the social virtues. The closer we got to each other the further apart we become. This may seem para- dorical, but it is true. The young may not believe it, hut my dear young reader, if you live to be as old as some I write of, you will be a convert to the truth. But I promised not to moralize and I will keep my promise, and but say in conclu sion that Athens has been blessed with a citizenship of which any place on earth might proudly boast, and which her pres- citiizens would do well to emulate. I will name of the noble dead of former years. The list would swell this article to large dimensions and increase it to a length unwarranted by the space allotted to, such communications, but suffice it to say that there yet live within its corpo ration the descendants of some who walk in their footsteps—and the Athens of 1880 in point of morality and intelligence can favorably compare with any sister city. , Watkinsville, yet a village, has no long list of illustrious dead, hut the ashes ef many whose record is on high are depos ited in her cemetery, and many others in other lands whose record, though not inscribed on tho pages of history, has brought no reproach upon the place of their birth. JACKSON COUNTY. [Herald J In spite of the great Gordon boom and war whoop Bacon leads the van. Mrs. L. M. Mayne, who had been sick only i few days at Jug 'l’avcrn, died on May 30th. Don't forget to hunt out and urge upon every Gordon man to turn out without fail,” says tho-e private circulars. Candidates for county offices seem to be pretty quiet. The big guns make too much noise for their small arms. Be patient gentlemen, yeur time will come after awhile. Th.e cut worms, insects and the cool weather haTe abqut finished up a good many fields of cotton. It is notlDO late to plant corn yet and make a good crop: Hadn’t you better try the experiment? Our people have been depending on the West for.their supply of meat, but just at this time they seem to prefer Georgia raised “Bacon” to that imported from another state. MrsfA. J. Jones, of Johnsonville, is very low. The Institute bell was placed in posi tion in the tower Tuesday. We notice, in an account of the picnic at Mulberry last Saturday, in the At lanta Constitution, that the crowd pres ent were almost a unit for Gordon. We think the Constitution, er its reporter, is very largely mistaken. We were not there, but we are informed by reliable gentlemen who were present on the occa sion, that a considerable majority of the voters were Bacon men.. AN OPEN LETTER; A Poor Victim to Gen. Gordon's Life Insur ance Scheme Wants his Money Back. Morris Station, Ga., May 25, 1SS6.—Hon. John B. Gordon: A few montlisiigo your post-office was New York. Your letter announcing your candidacy was headed DcKalb county. This is hardly the name >f a post-office, hence I know not where to address you unless it be in care of the Constitution or Joseph E. Brown. As your postsoffice is so hard to locate, you will excuse me for addressing you through the Libera). I hope other papers may copy it so that it may reach you while you are stumping the State. I am informed that you stated in Cuthbert tha’ you would repay any man who would say you were the cause of his loosing money by the Southern Life Insurance Company, and who thought you ought to do so, all the losses he sustained by that company. I assure you that but for the fact that your name and that ot Alfred H. Colquit appeared as managers of that branch of which I took a policy, and that I deemed you entirely competent to, and that you would protect the interests of tnose whom your influence led to invest in the concern, 1 would now be better off the amount paid into it. My confidence in the ability and integrity of you two alone, in duced me to invest in it. Certain it is that I lost $1,536 in the Souths ern Life Insurance Company for which I still hold a policy, and equally certain 'hat but for my con fidence in you and Colquit I would not have lost it. About one year before the final colapse of the company I made an efl'ort to get my money out of it, of fering to take 75 per cent of the amount paid in, afterwards 66 J per cent and finally 50 per cent not counting any interest on the pays ments. To all these offers I re ceived a positive negative reply. In connection with this request I for warded a written agreement with my wife and children, then of age, releasing all claims upon the com pany, upon the refunding of one- half the money I had paid in. The only thing I could get was a paid up policy (or the above amount. I thought then, as the sequel proved that the thing was rotten to the core and my confidence in you was shak en. I have never received one cent on that policy. I am old and poor and need it. You are said to be ric h. Whether vou reaped any benefit from :ny money or not I am unable to say. That you were the cause of my loosing it is certain. But for my confidence in you I would not have lost it. I took you as surety lor the debt and I feel that you owe me the money, and that out of your abundance, you at least ought to pay me a part of it. I do not include 15 years interest on the amount. I will be more than satisfied with the principal—if I can get it, and will publicly acknowledge the receipt, as I have publicly demanded it. I will say, however, should you see fit to refund mv money it will not buy my support for you. Practical experience and ordinary observation of your career have fully convinced me that you are wholly impractical, not fitted in any particular to look after the interests of the great State ot Georgia. My demand is one of simple justice and not an offer ot sale of my support tor the place you seek at the hands of the people. Respectfully, John H. Callaway. CON FE D F, liA’f-f U K N F. K AI.S.

TilE LABOR TROUBLES. The labor troubles are gradually subsiding. Even the stubborn strike in the Chicago lumberyard district is practically over, the strikers hav ing capitulated. It is stated tha* during the sixteen days they were “out” they lost over $250,000, while persons employed in kindred indus tries lost, on account of the suspen sion of work, some $60,000. It is now said that twenty men weie selected by the Chicago An- aicliists, to throw bombs on the night of the riot which resulted so disastrously. The fact that only one was thrown was explained by the presnmption that the other nine teen had started for home, or were injured by the discharge of the po lice revolvers, which immediately followed the throwing of the first bomb. Evidence has also been se cured that Spies, Schwab and Fischer were overheard talking about the use of dynamite on the night of the riot. August Spies, Fielding and Parsons have been in dicted. A score or so of the Chi cago Anarchists who took part in the distinction of Rosenfeld’s drug store have been either heavily fined or held in substantial bail tor trial in the criminal courts. FELTON'S VOICE FOR BACON- RINGING RALLY AT MONTEZUMA YESTERDAY. Dr. Felton Speaks In Belialf or the Bibb Statesman—Why He Supports Ur. Bacon and Opposes Gen. Gordon—Col. Bubo Ar nold's Keply. Montezuma, Ga.. June 2 --Doc tor Felton began his speech by say ing that he is no candidate for of fice, and sought the interest of no man or set of men in the present gubernatorial contest. He would give his entire support to Maj. Ba con, because of his spotless record as a public man; lie would oppose Gen. Gordon because of his antece dents; his record as a public offi cial was subject to the severest crit icism. He had been and still is the servant of corporations, rings, cliques and Wall street manipula tors, every Georgian should investi gate his record as a public official so as to he able to vole intelligently. THE GENERAL A FINANCIAL FAIL URE. Gordon has been a financial fail ure, and his business knowledge is so deficient as to incapacitate him to administer the affairs of the state to the best interest of the state. Gor don does not ask the votes of his fellow-countrymen, but intends to go into the gubernatorial chair in a cyclone, and that cyclone will cul minate in tne Treasurer’s office, as it had done in his life insurance scheme, his saw mill business, his Huntington railroad bill and his Alabama coal fields. ABOUT THE ATLANTA RING. The “Atlanta ring” had controlled the affairs of the state long enough. Every Georgian felt in his bones that there is some devilment. The Atlanta ring brought out Gen. Gor don tor Governor and it is time for us to throw off these shackles of railroad speculators and Wall street speculators. Gen. Gordon has gambled itt railroad stocks until he had become a professional game ster and the tool of rings and cliques, and he would not vote for Gordon under any circumstances. gen. Gordon’s man replies. Col. Ruhe Arnold, of Atlanta, replied to Dr. Felton. He did not attempt to explain the various charges made agninst Gen. Gordon. He only played on his war record, endeavoring to elicit the sympa thy of the old soluiers in his favor. Arnold’s speech did not change a vote. It only solidified Bacon’s fol lowing in the county, while Fel ton’s unanswerable arguments put many to thinking who have hereto fore been indifferent. While this county is divided Bacon’s friends are sure of success on the 15th. Dr. Felton returned home soon alter delivering his speech. Gen. Gor don speaks here on the nth. A QUIET YVEDDIXG. Marriage of President Cleveland and Miss Frankie Folsom at the White House. Last night at a comfortable num ber of hours past seven o’clock, by the Rev. Byron Sunderland, in the Executive Mansion, Washington, D. C., Grover Cleveland and M-.ss Frankie Folsom were united in mar riage. The ceremony was marked with Jeffersonian simplicity. Only the members of the cabinet and a few friends of the family witnessed the affair, as the proposed alliance did not have to go before the Min isters of State or be submitted to the houses of Congress for approval. The official announcement only pro ceeded the marriage a few days. It has no political significance, but the Nation at large is concerned in the event and the American people without reference to party, take an abiding interest in an event which involves the personal happiness of the President of the United States. The union is a love match entire ly. The staid old politician sees the little girl grow up, his ward and friend’s daughter, until a lovely woman has touched a chord which perhaps Grover Cleveland never knew existed. His promotions to the Governor’s chair and the White House have not drawn him away from his past fondness, and new friends have not stolen away his first allegiance. Nearly fifty though he is, the President has probably never had but one fond ideal, and public station has not lifted him be yond the fascinations of Frankie Folson.

Maysvili.e, Ga., May 17.—Edi tor Banner-Watchman: Your wel come paper roaches me regularly,, and I admire the stand you have taken against the Atlanta ring. The election of the next governor means more than the honors attached to the office. The sale or rental of the State road will perhaps come up before the next legislature, and the governor will have’a great deal to do in the sale or rental. The State road belongs to Georgia, and her people are vitally interested in it, and the candidate who is not con nected with any clique or ring is the man for governor.

Atlanta Journal. “Did you ever know that a gov ernor ot Georgia was killed in a duel?” asked an official in the exec- utive office this morning of a Jour nal reporter. A negative reply be ing given, he went on to state that Button Gwinnett succeeded Archi bald Bulloch in February, 1777. During his administration a delega tion. from South Carolina called on Governor Gwinnett and suggested the expediency of having Georgia place herself under the juris diction of South Carolina. The suggestion was treated with con tempt. Subsequently an unfortu nate misunderstanding occurred be- en ’ tween the governor and Gen. Lach lan McIntosh, which resulted in a duel fought on the 5th of May, I777, near Savannah, in which both gen tlemen were seriously wounded. General McIntosh recovered, but Governor Gwinnett died ot his in juries twelve days afterwards. These tacts are recerded in White’s histor- ical collections of Georgia. this thorough-going bachelor as this marriage with the little girl who trudged to school along the streets ot Buffalo while the reputation of her father’s friend was already marking him as a man ot growing greatness. Under other circumstances the union of a man of forty-nine with a girl of twenty-two might not be re garded with social favor. The mar riage is in keeping with the life ot this methodical man, who is slow and sincere in all his ways. The romance of the affair is worthy of the story of Beulah or St. Elmo. BUSINESS LAW’lN DAILY LIFE. It is a fraud to conceal a fraud. Ignorance of the law excuses no me. The acts of one partner bind all the rest. An agreement without considera tion is void. Signatures made with lead pencil are good in law. Principals are responsible for the acts of their agents. A note or contract with a minor or lunatic is- void. Checks or drafts must be present ed for payment in reasonable time. A note made on Sunday is void, and contt acts made on Sunday can not be enforced. A note obtained by fraud or from a person in a state ot intoxication cannot be collected. The indorsee has the right of ac tion against all those whose names were on the Will when he received il.
