* TIIE COTTON CHOP.
America Nov Raisins But Little over Half
Produced in the World.
M.e had a delightful and instructive
visit from CoJ. Thomas 1*. Stovall, agent
in (ieorgia for the American Exhibition
to open in London next May, the ma
chinery in which will he set in motion
hy President Cleveland touching an elec
tric button in Washington. It is cer
tainly a wonderful achievement of sci
ence when a man can, hy a gentle pre.s-
sare of his linger, sit in his otlice in
America and start steam machinery, to
running in England, over 3,OUO miles
distant! Col. Stovall is an earnest advo
cate of direct trade between our Georgia
ports and Europe, and wants to see a
steamship leave Savannah once a week
laden with the prodacts of our Holds, our
mines and-our factories, and return to
us laden with ltrilish gold and select
emigrants, who will help us to cultivate
our fields and develop our resources.
When the wealth ar.d resources of our
state are made known in England, our
farmers can borrow on their lands all
the money they want at C» per cent, and
when direct communication is establish
ed between our ports and Liverpool, we
can repay the same in chickens at $1.50
each, eggs at 60 cents per dozen, ami
also find a ready market for everything
that our lands, our orchards and forests
produce, even down to dried persim
mons and locust pods, that are here per
mitted to rot on the tree. In England
they command a good price and are
groundup for stock food. On every
farm in Georgia there is a fortune wast
ing for the want of shipment. Ou r far
mers must look out for another money
crop besides cotton, for it is now being
grown in various parts of the world
a ml the price will get lower and lower.
1 in 1885 the Southern States of America
i produced MS per cent, of the entire cotton
; crop of the world; lust year we only pro-
’ dneed 55 percent. This fact accounts
l or the reduction in price, and the end
is not yet. Now, if Georgia can iiml a
narket for the various other products of
i her soil, that now go to waste, we can
| afford to give up the production of the
I fleecy staple altogether.
I thinks that if our people will now only
become interested in this matter, that lie

SCAB. KEESE BURIED TOO DEEP FOR THE
HORN OF THE POLITICIANS TO
RESURRECT.
For a week past Capt. Carlton has
been inarching through the rain and inud
of Madison, Franklin, Hart and Elbert,
delivering an average of two speeches a
day and travelling the greater part of the
night, making one of the most wonderful
campaigns in the politicals annal of our
state. Capt. Carlton has been cut off
from telegraphic communication and
lost to his friends in Athens, and it was
only through an occasional wanderer
from the interior that we could hear of
him.
made known, Drs. Willingham and
Faust and Mr. G. W. Smith at once se
cured the Masonic Hall and tendered it
to Capt Carlton. At 11:30 o’clock be*
j tween 50 and 75 whites, with a good
sprinkling of darkeys, assembled in the
hall. Of this crowd, we suppose that
four-fifths were Reese men. We ac
quainted Capt. Carlton with this fact,
hut he said it was jnst what he wanted
—that he came not to bring the right
eous, but sinners to repentance.
***
The speaker opened by saying that no
introduction was necessary for him in
Oglethorpe county, where he had al
ready been endorsed by the people, and
who were all his intimate and warm
friends. For over two hours he kept
the audience enchained with an address
every word of which went home to them.
At first there was no applause, not even
when Capt. Carlton appeared upon the
rostrum; but as the speaker warmed
up to his subject, the hearts of the au
dience went out to him, ar.d when he
took his seat he had captured nine-tenths
of the crowd.'

Capt. Carlton made a straightforward,

asked the people to give him a fair and

citizens of Oglethorpe to stand by them,

Capt. Carlton to again come to the

As soon as the speaking was over we
started around to feel the pulse of the
crowd, and found the people as solid for
Carlton as they were in sympathy with
Reese at the outset. He had wrought
complete revolution, anti Lexington, i
stead of being the htfhd-centre of the
Reese forces, will to-day vote for Capt.
Carlton for congress. He took the town

the place are a unit for him. A merchant
told us that six men entered his store
after the speaking who had changed
from Reese to Carlton.

This is what our people want, and you
can never get them to crowd out of the

Yesterday evening time telegrams
from three good and st.ong men,
Hartweil, Hart county, to friends
in this city, were received bearing the
information that the Hon. ;»€*ahorn Reese
had been “smoked out of Ins hole’’ at
Washington, D. C. The information was
received with delight by Carlton s
friends, as *;very argument of Reese’s
friends was predicated upon bis loyalty
to “duty.” His presence also indicated
to them that the enthusiasm for Carlton
was of such a character as to force his
opponent from his original line of de
fense. Now, said Carlton’s friends, the
hall is opened, and we can substan
tiate the difference in the two men. Let
them meet once on the stump, and Carlton
will win as sure as honest and patri
otic men live and breathe.” 1 hese and
many other like remarks, showing the

hearty laughs were indulged in at the ex- j
pense of the Madisonian, published in j
Madison, Morgan county. The sole ar- ;

has been Reese’s loyalty to “duty,” and
now that it’s candidate has returned home
many wonder how its columns will he

home. They brought no game,
but instead came buidened with a
most marvellous story of a burning
mountain in their hunting district.
The names of tne young men are
Sutton, Williamson, Van Horn,
Crihbs and Alexander.
The district in which they went
hun'iptv lies about fifty miles to tlie
«ouTi . f the Canadian Pacific rail-
-v:t\ it. ck from Brule, on the high
land- mar the Manitcu river. This
Inta.bv is just north of the United
Stall s hound ry line from J’iack
iluck hike iii ii Minnesota. They
report lining left Brule in compa-
n< with t!i ir guide, journeying
soinhwaid. After traversing some
distance they met a mountaineer’s
family on tl.eir way into town,
with ail I Ire i • goods packed on two
lean I. okir.g Ii u ses. The mother
ran ied .sick cbild in her aims, and
io hit e tow headed children tod-
dl. d alor.g barefooted aftertheir
father. Two sons and a daughter
led the way.
Their appearance showed that
they were leaving hastily lor some
reason, and they told the hunters
that they were fleeing the country
In winch they had lived on account
ol “some terrible lire.” They said
that they had lived en a patch of
cleared ground on a mountain side,
w hose base homed a portion of the
Manitou river's hank, that tlie ter
rible lire was somewhere over be
hind or in under the mountain; that
no smoke was visible, hut that the
air was stilling, anti the river at
certain points so hot that tile fish
died in it. The first intimation that
the lather, whose name is Malcolm,
had of this strange phenomenon
was the unusual sight ol a great
number ol dead fish in the Manitou.
I he ice in the river in their imme
diate vicitii'v had broken up earlier
than usual this a tar, hut the men
had been greatly surprised to find
that both above and I claw the
places where they lived the ice had
remained the normal length of time.
■Strangely hot winds also came
down the valley, while elsewhere
the tmos pint w : s o! wintry chil
liness.
The hunters found that about a
mile limber up the stieam the
mountain side where it extended
undet the river lied became so hot
that it heated the water, which
tl ,ws slowly there, until steam rose
'com the surface near the banks.
This was faint’y noticeable for a
short distance lurther up,i>ut be
yond that the water by degrees re
sumed its normal state. The at
mosphere was found to be very
warm, and the slightest exertion
caused perspiialion. Close to the
spot wheic the farmer had lived
the hun'ets found the air to he al
most stifling, and there tire earth
was too hot in places to touch with
the hand. Nothing else was no

man, Washington Whitmore, was
shot through the heart, and his twin
brother, Roll Whitmore, was mor
tally wounded by a pistol hall
through the bowels, and who has
since died. Two others, Ed and
Harve Hartness, were considerably
carved up with knives. The facts
athered ate as follows:
the cause ok the trouble.
Roll Whitmore is the father of
an illegitimate child by Marion
Hartness’ daughter, a giilof fitteen
yea s. Whiltnore was a few months
ago married to a young lady by the
name of Hughes, and had induced
the mother of the child to give it to
him to raise. She, on the day be
fore the night of the killing, asked
to have the child sent to sec her,
which request was complied with.
The cliiiu was carried by Roll
Whitmore's mother in the morning,
with instructions to bring it home
in the afternoon. Being refused the
child hy its mother, Mrs. Whitmore
informed the buys of the situation.
THE CALI. TO ARMS.
Roll, together with nis brother,
Washington, armed themselves
with double-barrel-shotguns, and
starting ,to the home ot Hartness,
said they would kill the whole d—d
-set or have the child. Their fath
er, George Whitmore, appealed to
them not to go; that he would get
the child aud save a bad light,
i'he boys would not heed the old
man, until, when in about one hun
dred yards of the house of Hartness,
he persuaded them to stop until he
could go and see what) could be
done. He was informed by the
brothers of the girl, that it was bet
intention to ki ep the baby, and that
they did not teel called upon to
force her to give it up. Whitmore
begged them to give it up and save
Double and murder. He went
back to his boys, and told them
what was said. They beettme en
raged, ami ptoceeded to the house.
When within the yard, they were
warned not to come in the house.

Pushing Airs. Hartness, the mo
tiler of the girl, oil'the steps, they
attempted to go in, when Harve
Hartness commenced firing ot
them fiotn the inside, killing Wash
ington, it is supposed, on the first
shot, as he disappeared from the
stage of action and was not seen
again until the fight was over when
he was found dead in the yard with
his gun by his side. Alter the fir
shot, all parties being by that time
in he house, the light became gen
eral, the report of a pistol being oc
it g occasionally heard. Roll Whit-
inoie was found, by Harve Hart
ness, on top of Ed. llattness, stab
bing him, the ball entering the
right side near tlie shortriba and
tanging toward the back Iron
which he died an hour later.
At this juncture outside parties
inteifeiied, and quieted the row
After things had, in a manner
quieted down, and upon exainina
tton, Ed. Haitness was found to be
badly cut up and will die, being
staboed mortally in three places,
and literally cut ail over. Harve
Hartness received one severe cut
in the back, near the hips, which
w ill most likely put an end to hi
career.
The jury of inquest ordered that
Harve Hartness be neld in bond
of $300 for his appearance at the
October term of Union superiot
court.

Veteraa Edwards has a Word to Say of Its
Dauntless Captain.
Dome Journal.
In a long lettea to the Home Jour
nal Mr. J. W. Edwards, of Hall's
Mill, Bartow county, and ex-mem
ber of Troupe Artillery, Captain H.
H. Carlton, Iiee’s Army, after con
gratulating, this paper and the Con^-
gressional district upon his candi-.
dacy, proceeds to recount some of
the salient episodes ol that cele
brated battery in the war and its
fearless commander.
The letter is a long one^ and \vd
are permitted by limited space only
to quote trom it here and there.
Mr. Edwards was a nott-com-
missioned officer under Carlton. He
relates that in those famous, some
times useless and often fatal “ar
tillery duels” that every old soldier
will remember with horror, Carl
ton’s battery never was silenced or
driven from the field. He made it
a point always to get the last shot.
The writer recounts an incident
where he was in camp; apparently
at the point of death with typhoid
fever, just at a crisis when a retreat
ot the army was ordered. To be
left sick in camp was to fall into the
hands of the enemy. Carlton di
rected some of. his men to remove
Edwards to a wagon and have him
borne along with the* battery. The
Captain was tola that to remove
Edwards was simply to hasten his
death, which at best was consider
ed certain at almost any moment.
Carlton’s answer was characteris-
“I’ll take him along with its,
dead or alive! The enemy shall not
even have his bones if I can help
it!”
Edwards was accordingly drag-
ed along with the attillery, and
through providential interposition
and kind nursing and attention is
alive to tell the story.
The Troupe battery fired the sig
nal gun for the great Fredericks
burg battle, the initial shot being
aimed by Edwarus. The battery
never went into action without
Carlton, save when he was disabled
by wounds; and no matter how of
ten he was shot, he was sure to
come to the front the very first mo
ment his recovery would permit.
The sound of his guns was as famil
iar as the voice of a triend, and the
name of Ins battery was a household
word, if indeed such ati expression
cou d be pardoned where there
were no households.
Mr. Edwards says: “I would
rather trust Cariton than any other
man 1 know in Georgia. I have
seen him and observed him where
it requit .-J nerve and principle; and
he was never wanting. I was
wounded at Malvern Hill, ami even
in the heat and horror of that ter-
ific battle Carlton coolly stepped to
my side to examine my wound and
encourage me. In another minute
he w is again at the flout in com
mand of his famous battery.”
STARMMNG, KL’T TRUE.
Captain Carlton has the cour
age, the ability and the principle to
stand firmly lor anything involving
the inteiests and welfare of his'peo
ple.” J. W. Edwards,
Late ol Troupe Artillery.

HON. H. B. CARL0N.
This distinguished gentleman address
ed the people of Hart county in the court
house at Hartwell on last Wednesday.
Considering the short notice and the
busy time with the farmers he had a
large audience. His speech was an elo
quent one. and was received with hearty
applause, lie was introduced hy Hon.
A. G. MeCurry in an appropriate man
ner, and for over two hours entertained
the audience with oiie of the finest polit
ical speeches we ever listen-d to. He
exposed the schemes and trickery that
had been used not only against him hut
a;ainst the majority of the democratic
voters of the 8th district, and showed
conclusively to the minds of most of his
hearers that the people owed it to them*
selves to stamp the seal of their condem
nation upon the unfair and undemocratic
methods that were being used.
It would be useless to deny the fact
that bis remarks won many votes. We
cannot see liow a citizen of Hart county,
who is apprised of the facts, can vote
against him; for to do so is to vote against
j the action of the executive committee in
giving the smaller counties in the dis
trict (of which Hart is one) a larger and
more equitable representation in the
congressional convention. His charges
were not made at random but were
backed up by irrevokable evidence. It
was a revelation to us, and wc feel it to
be our bounden duty to urge upon the
people to cast their votes for the candi
date who so fearlessly, in the face of
such powerful opposition, champions
their cause. People of Hart, look to your
