Johnson disputed this ground at every term of the court, or in every political campaign. “Oglethorpe county,” Raid Judce Les ter, “they used to say, was noted for three things: Its dancing rocks handsome girls and the Lumpkin family.” “There were seven sons of old John Lumpkin, who was foreman of the first grand jury in the county. He was the great grand father of the present Judge of the Superior Court, Hon. Samuel Lumpkin. Of three sons Wilson Lump kin was Governor and Senator; J. H. Lumpkin wes Chief Justice; George Lumpkin was a Baptist preacher—with no superior in native intelligence and ag gressive power. Jack Lumpkin was al so a Baptist preacher of great parts. Hop Lumpkinwas a physician of wide reputa tion. Samnel Lumpkin was a farmer, and grand father of the present Judge. Tom was a lawyer and died young. All were men of great influence. One such man would have distinguished a State; but seven in one county had an effect hardly imagined.” “Joseph H. Lumpkin, of Rome, was from Oglethorpe. He went to Congress from the mountains and ran for Gover nor, when the deadlock resulted between himself and James T. Gardner, and Jos. E. Brown was brought in.” “There was Joseph H. Lumpkin, who defended Platt in Augusta for killing a United States officer. He fainted in the court house after speaking, and was threatened with bilious fever. His phy sician recommended a trip to Europe and while hs was away, was elected Chief Justice of Georgia.” “One of the most fhmour revivals in the county was in 1835, which was start ed by the famous preacher, Jack Lump kin: The fervor spread like the fires of Smithfield.” The political contests have been fa mous in this county. Stephens and Toombs, way hack from the fathers, dic tated the polices in this district. Judge did fellow, observes closely and discusses intelligently. He tells me that Wilkea county just now is probably better off than any county. Oglethorpe and Hancock are suffering from short crops and the credit system. Madison county is a capital county. There wi.a no conspicuous ac cumulation of wealth, but people gener ally were in good condition. Farms were small, basiness safe, and credit less ex tended. I asked him abont prohibition? He thought its effects had been salu tary throughout the circuit It had done •Oglethorpe good, and was generally ben eficial. It was not shown directly in the lessening of crime. Crimes of personal violence had diminished, but offenses such as are prosecuted in the courts— 'arceny, rape, fraud Ac., were not directly controlled by liquor, and judgment could not be based on the length of the term of court in the number of criminal cases. Beyond and above all that, prohibition has been beneficial. Judge Geo. H. Lester, -the venerable clerk of of court has been 41 years in y t" raw we roicigj FINCH (MCFIS -A-ILTID STAPLE DRY GOODS.

Oglethorpe county produces 17,000 bales of cotton annually, or about one bale to eveiy person within its limits. In 1880 there were 1,570 farms in Ogle thorpe valued at $1,315,257—tha pro ducts of which were worth $791,807. There was produced 200,534 bushels of corn, 59,832 of oats; 57,713 of wheat and 12,336 bales of cotton. The land turned in 1885 was valued at $962,011. Lester, Judge Gillam and Mr. Baughn The aggregate value of the whole prop- ten of the day when Gen. Ranee Wright I erty is $1,824,895. The number of white and Col. Jenks Jones met on the stomp in Lexington. Wright won the laCrels on the stump, but Jones took his seat in Congress. Stephens and Toombs fought Ben Hill hard. He disputed their power in the district. Hill won a famous victory even over Stephens on the stump at Lexing ton; but no man eTer broke the iron sway of these giants in the district “Julius Caesar never nursed stronger ambition or carried more power than lit tle Alex,” said Judge Lester. “There was Sovereignty in the com pression of his thin lips, and unconquer able power in his white face.” “It was whilo these men practiced here that Judge Andrews, then on the the bench, admitted that no white man could be hung on the Northern Circuit Mr. Stephens seldom appeared for the prosecution in any case. 1 remember well the last time he prosecuted a crim inal in I Oglethorpe. It was against a negro who had committed murder. Thomas polls fs LOlO aniT of coloi 1880 there were 54 manufactories in Oglethorpe with a capital of $68,065. and the product at $139,213.

To put a stop to this practice, to save these clever gentlemen from thcmslves, to protect them from tho crew of black vultures that hover around them like a carcas, and to rescue power from the hands of a drunken and corrupt crew of negroes- is the duty of our people, nd can only be done by the democracy centering on a ticket and electing it. Let us put a stop to these scrub races, for they are re sponsible for the disgraceful state of affairs. It is unjust to blame the candidates, It is not either their will or their interest that they have to give up even more than the salary attached to an office to secure it. Money and whisky have been disbursed in every election, both munici pal and county, held in our midst for years past The only difference is that each year these black blood-suckers are more greedy in their demands. One candidate is no more to blame than the others. They are the victims of the political cowardice of their p$rty. They are all democrats, and it matters not who will be elected, our county will have a good set of officers. We do not object to the candidates, hut we do protest against the “way they are being spread on.” It is too late in the day now to do anything, but let us profit by the past and hereafter nominate one set of can- cidatas, and let every honest man who is opposed t» the present state of things support the ticket.

He dug un der the jail however, and afterward es caped.” “There was a murder casein Ogle thorpe in which the accused got off from failure of the court to procure a jury. Every man in the county had formed and expressed some opinion. There was no law far the charge of venue to another county, and the prisoner went free.” “A very heinous offense also went un prosecuted because there was no law applicable on the books. Then the Eberhart case and the Dupree Will case engaging the best talent in the circuit and the State.” “Did you know,” said Col. Whitson Johnson, “that Oglethorpe furnished two United States Senators for Georgia at the same time?” Wm. H. Crawford and Thomas W. Cobb were colleagues in the senate—both from Oglethorpe. “And there is anether thing. But for a stroke of paralysis in 1824 Crawford would have been President of the United States. The younger Adams was nomi nated by the democrats, and it was charg ed that Clay sold out to Adams for the State portfolio. Crawford ( would have been the democratic nominee, asM.\ Stephens always said, bat for his ill ness. “There was another thing about Ogle thorpe,” said Col. Johnson. “Gov.

Oar faithful oracle, Joe Baughn, tells us (hat there is but one merchant now in Oglethorpe who ships cotton to any other point than Athens. “I can remember,” said he, “when no one here pretented to do business outside of Augusts. Now cotton from Oglethorpe is nearly all shipped to Athens. Cotton comes throogh here from Wilkes and from Lincoln—on its way to Athens. The Lexington and Crawford markets now pay high prices for cotton because of their nearness to Athens.” , Lexington has long talked of a railroad to Crawford. Five thousand dollars will pads the rood tho Georgia Railroad would equip the line. The opening of the Lexington granite quarry would re. pay the expense of the work. ■ The shaking rock stiU shakes.

Crawford is the largest with a population of 600 and cotton re ceipts of 10,000, of which 6,000 ar* bought there and 5,000 sent from Lex ington and Washington for shipment to Athens. Cotton from Elbert, Wilkes and Lincoln is shipped through for Athens market. Crawford is a bright and thriving place. It is the Harmony Grove of Ogle thorpe. It does a thriving business and has overshadowed Lexington commer cially, Crawford is said to have secured the railroad on account of the strenuous objection of the old families of Lexing ton to have the blare of the whistle and the innovation of frequent travel. Some say they feared the railroad would bring small pox and bad women to the com munity. It is more than probable, how ever, that the route was located through Crawford on account of the high ridge and the absence of water culverts. It would have required some heavy work to go through Lexington. CEAWFOBD. Crawford holds the remains of the dis tinguished jurist, and is a progressive place.

Not content with holding meetings at night, when mean liquor flows like water, they hare grown so bold as not to wait for the veil of darkness to cover their orgies, but actually convene in broad daylight, in the city of Athens, to proclaim their choice and hold their councils. Only Thursday afternoon was one of these as semblies held by John Mack, jr, on Lumpkin street, to the annoyance aad disgust of all good people living in that portion of on. city. To have heard the •rations on that occasion, one would suppose that the honor of Clarke county and the future of Athens hinged on a few negroes, who are notorious for sell ing their votes to the highest bidder st every election. Even the dark days of reconstruition, when carpet-baggers aDd scallawags consorted with and organized the negroes to override the votes of »white democrats and rob Our state, furnished no scenes so disgusting and indecent as are now wit nessed in our county, and under the sanction, too, of democracy. The candi dates are all honorable, intelligent gen tlemen, and tifbir democracy is unques tioned. This miserable and disgraceful state of affairs is not so much attributa ble to them as to custom. The demo cratic party of our city and county is too cowardlytomakeanomination. Itwasnot as yet recovered from the effects of in- dependeutism. Any division among the whites gives.the balance of power to the negro.
