MimIIR HB9 His Tour Through Elhert Carolina, THE ELOQUENCE ADD MAGNETISM OF THIS YOUNG ORATOR. How His Speeches Were Received With The Whole County Enthused Delight. THE IMMENSE CROWDS THAT iKIET HIM. y Mr. Grady’s eloquence hearts of the people, hut his earnest honesty. You can see that he feel and means every word he says. That he loves his State and his people next to his family, and that his whole aim and ambition is to promote their welfare and prosperity, the most preju diced man must admit after hearing him speak. Henry Grady and his party completed last Saturday the grandest andanost en joyable tour ever made in Georgia. It was a success in the fullest accep tation of the term. Grady wreathed his brow with new laurels and did his friends proud. He captured the her rt of the people of jtwo states, and his visit will he a green spot in their memory as long as history lives. Those who have read Mr. Grady’s speeches in print can form but a faint conception of the beauty of Ills lan guage and his eloquence. You must hear the words fall from his own lips, feel the electric thrill his eloquence pro duces, and watch the earnest, inspiring and convincing face and expression of the speaker to receive the full benefit of his orations. It is a matter utterly impossible for the stenographer to give one of Grady’s speeches as it is delivered. He may re produce the words, but the earnest elo quence, the beautiful and impressive delivery, the lightning-like flashes of his keen black eye at one instant, when describing a deed of daring, and the tender and tear-bedimmed shade that hovers o’er and around them when painting some picture of woe, must be seen and felt that his speeches may be appreciated at their full worth. There is as much difference between reading one of Grady’s orations and hearing it, as there is between the mere outline of an unfinished painting, and when that picture has gone through the finishing touches of an artist, the shades and col ors applied and all its bea uties por trayed. It is an injustice to Henry W. Grady to try and reproduce one of his addresses in print. You had as well attempt describe the grandeur of Niagara, paint the beauty of an Italian sunset, depict the terrors of a tempest, or measure the immensity of space, as to convey to the reading public the faintest conception, of ilie grandeur, the eloquence, the pa thos, the earnestness and impressive ness of one of the efforts of this brilliant young Georgian and Southerner. This is the first time we have ever, heard Grady speak. We expected an eloquent address, hut can say to our people that the half has not been told. For nearly two hours we have seen him hold spell-bound audiences of from five to seven thousand, and although the burning sun was pouring down upon their unprotected heads, not a man or woman moved. They seemed held in their places by the spell of an enchan tress. We saw strong men weeping like children at one of the orator’s pa thetic word portraits, while in an in stant he would transform their tears in to outbursts of joyous applause. An audience before Grady ic as a weed in the wind, ne bends it to 'his will. His entire tour through Eastern Geor gia and Western Carolina, and down the Savannah valley, was a continued march of conquest and triumph. He captured and brought home with him the heart of every man, woman and child that came beneath the sound of liis voice, and he h«s made of them endur ing friends. The people felt themselves honored by his visit, and to add to the ovation every store and workshop was closed, the farmer deserted his plow, and the busy housewife her doraestie duties. In fact, the whole country, for a radius of thirty miles or more, turned out en masse to welcome and do honor to this brilliant young orator. There was a friendly rivalry between Georgia and Carolina as to which state should tender him the warmest reception. We were proud of Grady as a Geor giau and a Southerner, but we were doubly proud of him as a native of Ath ens. We know whereof we speak when Are say that Henry -W. Grady is not a can didate or an aspirant for any office The tours that he is making have noth ing to do AA r ith selfish ambition. He has a higher and nobler duty to perform than that of a politician. He wants build up and develop Georgia, to meet her people face to face and study their needs and see their resources. This is his sole aim and ambition, and a no bler and more praise-worthy one was never assayed. But of one thing aa-o are assured. Whenever Henry Grady wants promo tion at the hands of his people he Avill receive it by an almost unanimous acclamation. Turn him loose Georgia, let him meet the people face to face, and the man is not livin'* 1 who can defeat him. Before his brilliant eloquence and well-know., devotion to liis State, opp^gition would go dOAvn like grain before the scyelc But Ave Avill give an outline of the trip. On Monday evening a party of Athe nians, consisting of Hon. H. H. Carl ton, Porf. H. C. White and Capt. W. D. O’Farrell met Mr. Grady and his friends at Lula. His party consisted of about twenty-five gentlemen, including prom inent business men and capitalists of Atlanta and a committee of legislators, who had a special parlor-car. At Toe- coa, the visitors were me£ by a delega tion of citizens of that town and a brsss band, and escorted to the hotel, AA'liere loud calls Avere made for Grady, Avho responded in a feAV words o£ thanks. Shortly after sunrise next morning the party embarked on a special train for Elberton, under charge of that pop ular official Superintendent Wilson, aa'Iio did much to add to the pleasure of the tourists. The party Avere engaged iu examining crops and studying the country from the car windows, and as this Avas the first visit of a large majori ty of them, they expressed great de light at all that they saw. At Lavonia our train Avas boarded by a large delegation from Elberton and Hartwell, and until our destination Avas reached it was one triumphant tour. At eA'ery station croAvds of people met the train with cheers, Avliile the roads were lined with every manner of A'eliiele filled Avitli people bound for the speak ing. At Elberton nearly the Avhole city AA'as at the depot to meet Mr. Grady and his friends, Avho Avere placed in carriages and conveyed to the Globe Hotel, where a general introduction and hand-sliakiug Avas engaged in until the hour for tlie speaking arrived, when the visitors Avere again placed in carriages and con veyed to the James grove, where a stand and seats had been erected, and eA'ery arrangement made for the com fort and entertainment of the large crowd,ami including a splendid dinner. There Avas a dense mass of humanity here, and all the morning and until late in the afternoon they listened to elo- Fluent speeches from Mr. Grady and his friends, including Hon. H. H. Carlton and Prof. White, of Athens. Capt. Carlton paid to Mr. Grady, one of the most eloquent tributes we have ever listened to. The hospitable people of Elbert turned themseWes loose, on this occasion, and finer or more bounteous dinner Avas never set before a more appreciative crowd. lion. Tom Glenn, mayor of Atlanta, not only covered himself Avith glory on tjie rostrum, but also at the stive board. He was one of the most popular men on the ground, and car ried Elberton by storm. Mr. Grady’s speech was principally addressed to the farmers. lie spoke of tlie dangers that threatened the coun try in the shape of trusts, and said tlie Alliance movement was the only organ ized effort to combat this evil. His pic ture of home life on tlie farm was beau tiful beyond description, and when, lie closed by saying that “in the homes of the people rests the Ark of the Covenant of my country,” tlie applause was deaf ening. After tlie speaking tlie citizens of Fi ber ton took the visitors in charge and entertained them at their homes. Mr. Grady was a guest of Hon. P W. Davis At 5 o’clock Thursday morning the Grady party embarked on a special train for HartAA'ell, Avhere a breakfast had been prepared for them by the citizens of that toAvn at the Bobo House. The enterprise of Elberton and its big-heart ed hospitable people were discussed un til their destination was reached. At HartAvell the visitors were met at the depot by a hand and a large dele gation of citizens, and escorted to ta bles loaded with all the good things of the season. HartAA'ell tlireAV AA’ide her cv'ery door, and her kindness and hos pitality were unbounded. After breakfast a long line of carri ages awaited the party to take them to Andersonville, in South Carolina, where an inter-state reception awaited them. It was nine miles distant and the drive a delightful one, through a fresh and fertile country Avith the finest crops the eye ever rested upon on each side of the.road. We Avere ferrred across the river in old-fashioned flats, and met on each bank by delegations of gentlemen from the Palmetto States. Andersonville is owned by Mr. Earle, a Avealthv and prosperous farmer. It is located upon the peninsula formed by the confluence of the Tugalo and Seneca rivers, and was once a town of considerable importance. Of the beauty of this spot we will speak in another article. Here we ay ere'met by on e of the largest crowds we ever saw together. It is impossible to estimate the number of people pres ent. Some assert they exceeded 12,000. The speaking took place in a natural amphitheatre formed by hills upon three sides, so that every one could witness the speaking. Mr. Gra dy here made the crOAvning effort of his life. He was follOAved by Congressmen Cothran, Carlton and other distinguish ed gentlemen. Before the skeaking began, Mr., Earle invited the visiting guests to his home where a splendid lunch Avas set before them. ^Afterwards, a fine basket dinner was served in a grove when the party Avitli reluctancy hid their hospitable entertainers adieu, and embarked on the boats for their trip down the Savannah. Of this voyage Ave will speak in another letter, for space will not permit us to do justice to it now. Thursday at noon Ave landed at Herd- mont, the farm of Hon. W. II. Mattox, in Elbert county, where another big crowd and an old-fashioned barbecue awaited us. Here there was more speaking from Mr. Grady and his friends. Prof. H. C. White made a splendid address, which carried tlie people by storm. Friday there Avas a big Alliance din ner at Flat Woods, to Avhich tlie party Avas driven in carriages. Mr. Grady made a short speech and had to leave to catch the train, but Capt. Carlton re mained behind and delivered a splendid address of an hour and a half. At its conclusion his friends flocked around him to offer their congratulations, and it Avas with tlie greatest difficulty that lie could tear himself away. This ended one of tlie most delightful trips it has ever bees our pleasure to make, and one, too, that we belieA'e will do great -Jiings for this section of our State. We Avill to-morrow give a descriptive of our journey down the Savannah river. fFl OM AVEDXKSDAY’S DAILY. 1 Campine Out—Grady’s Wonderful Memo ry-Weird Music. Fcav people know that our State has so beautiful and picturesque a stream as the Savannah, which river, Avliile the dividing line between Georgia and South Carolina, is tlie property of tlie former State. While tlie writer Avas born and reared Avithin almost the sound of its roaring Avaters, and has crossed it hundreds of times, this Avas our first excursion upon it for any considerable length, and like all of the party Ave were surprised and delighted to see such mag nificent shoals and lovely scenery. Our party embarked on three old-style cot ton boats, covered Avith aAvning to pro tect them from the sun rays. These boats Avill comfortably seat from fifty to seventy-five persons each. They are propelled by oars, and manned by from six to eight sturdy blacks. Our place of embarkation was Ander sonville, S. C., and before leaving its hospitable shores we will give a brief description of the place. Here the Tugalo and Seneca meet and blending their waters form tlie Savannah river. On the peninsula between these streams once stood a flourishing town that bid fair to rival Augusta as a trade centre. Oijie of the finest schools inCaroliua was located here, and several m an nr ac tori es. But the hand of time lias literally SAyept tins town from the face of the earth, and now a Carolina gentleman, Mr. Earle, tills tlie lands that once echoed the treat of a commercial popula tion. Mr. Earle lias a lovely home, erected on an eminence overlooking the two rivers on his right and ieft as they meet and blend their water* into one stream, A flower-bordered walk leads down from his residence lo the liver’s brink, while in tlie middle of the stream is a lovely little green island that Prof. White says is a reproduction of El len’s Isle, in Loch Katrane, rendered famous by Sir Walter Scott. Our party was divided among the boats, in one of which liad been stored our commissary, Avliich eA'en embraced a cooking stove. To this latter attach ment Mr. Grady entered a vehement protest, claiming that he wanted his rations prepared after the manner of our forefathers. We had scarcely quit ted the hospitable shores of Anderson ville, amid the applause of the gveat crowd upon the banks and the Avaving of hundreds of liankercliiefs, when we turned a bend in the river, dashed into a shoal and in a tAvinkling our boat AA'as fastened upon a rock. Grady Avas the first man to co me to the rescue. Be fore any one was aAvare of his inten tion tlie orator of tlie day and honored guest of the occasion, who had just held a dense mass of people spell-hound by his eloquence, had divested him self of all his apparel except one single abbreviated garment, and Avas up to his middle in the water struggling with the boat hands and helping them to get us afloat again. Grady afterwards told us that he had been having chills regularly for some time and that the last imjunc tion his physician gave him on leaving Atlanta Avas not to get even his feet AA'et under any circumstances. We will here add that^by disobeyingjiis doctor’ directions Mr. Grady affected a'perma- nent cure. After the battle of Selkirk, Avhen LeAvis’ household troops of young gal lants signalized themselves by going to battle Avith their disarranged night garments, the fair dames of the French capital adopted that style of dress, and it was knoAvn as the Selkirk. History repeated itself in this case, and before many miles had been traversed the Gra dy costume was all the rage and the party was soon in fitting raiment for admission to the Garden of Eden—and several visitors made bold to affirm that it Avas located someAvliere in Elbert county and on the Savannah river, was certainly a jolly party and a royal good time Avas had. A flotilla of bat- teaux and every manner of river craft follOAved in our Avake, and as shoals were frequent and the pilots inexpe rience this high up the stream, we of ten found our boats stranded on Gradv said lie here saAv the negro in liis true state, before being contaminated by politicians and the evils of city life —that the more he saw of Avhite men the better he liked the negro.

At every landing Ave passed, croAvds of people Avere seen gath ered upon the river banks, cheering and waiving handkerchiefs. It was indeed a picturesque sight: The angry waters dashing over frowning rocks—the boats spinning along like things of life—the . , Jree* banks and waiving fields of grain music-that it was the wail of the slave. on either side—the happy crowd on shore—the cry of tlie pilot and the echo ing answer of the steersmen—and as a centre piece for the-picture Henry Grady sitting upon the boAV of the fore most boat, clothed in manly nature un adorned. At EroAvn’s ferry, a feAV miles below Andersonville, is where three Yankee soldiers were shot and tliroAvn in the river by a party of men from Anderson county, S. C. They were guarding some cotton that the government had seized, and Avhieli belonged to private parties. The soldiers had been induced to enter the flat, AA'lien one of them called one of the men by name. To protect themselves from discovery the Yankees were ail killed and their bodies thrown overboard. The parties Avho did the bloody Avork then took the sol diers’ horses and left for parts unknown. The Federals afterwards recovered the bodies of their dead companions, and arrested several innocent parties Avho lived near the ferry. Two of these Avere tried by a court martial, and sentenced to death. President Johnson com muted their sentence to imprisonment, and after serving for several years on the Dry Tertugas, they Avere pardoned and returned home. Afterwards the men Avho did the killing returned, hut no evidence could be had against them. One of the men was at the G.ady meet ing. This section is the home of that gal lant and desperate Confederate soldier, Mans. Jollv, AA'ho it is said killed thirty ankces atter tlie surrender, and Avas .the leader in the B**own’s ferry massa cre. Jolly feared neither man nor devil. He captured and van. off seven ty-five horses from the Yankee soldiers stationed at Andevson, and when a re- ard of $500 AA'as offered for him, dead or alive, he rode up to tlie Federal Co'.- onel’s tent Avhen he Avas surrounded by soldiers, announced his name and de fied the regiment to take him. He then deliberately rode off. Tt is reporieil that Jolly Avas afterwards drowned in exas, hut feAV belieA'e this. The scory of bis death Avas circulated to keep the government from searching for him. Tlie first night Ave pitched our camp t Park’s ferry, iu Hart county. There Avere plenty of mattresses abroad, Avhich the men spread beneath a large oak on the river bank, and soon the scene was lited up by a roaring five. Again on land, all bands turned themselves loose for enjoyment, and they liad a royal good time. While supper Avas being prepared we accompanied Grady to an old farmer’s house about half a mile up the road, os tensibly for the purpose of getting ionic Avater, but in truth to let our guest relieA'e himself of an unnatural desire that had seized upon him to steal me»s of roasting ears, Mr. Grady ex plained that he felt as if he had made liis trip for naught did lie fail to put in practice some of his boyhood memories, for stolen roasting ears and watermelons asAAellas pleasure,) were always the Aveetest, But just as Grady AA-as pre paring to begin his depredation, a far mer and liis faithful yard dog loomed up in the dim moonlight, and at once all evil designs A'anislied from the mind of our companion like mist before the noonday sun. Mr. Grady took AA'ater in liis’n, and entered into conversation Avith bis horny handed visitor, who proA'ed to Mr. A. It. Parks. And here Ave Avitnessed an instance of that wonder ful memory for which Mr. Grady is fa mous. On introducing our companion, Mr. Park expressed great delight at seeing so distinguished and popular a gentleman, and grasping Grady by the hand remarked: Why you know me, of course? A. It. Parks is my name. Why, I have been taking the Weekly Constitution for six years, and reading after you. Of course you’ve seen my name on the books and remember me?” We looked at Grady’s face, Avho turn was watching the dog. Why, don’t you remember me—A. It. Parks—who has been taking your paper so long? Surely you do!” and the old man looked like his feelings were getting hurt. All at once Mr. Grady’s puzzled brow began to clear away, and his face light ed up Avith one of those pleasant smiles that have Avon so many hearts. Grasp ing the honest hand of his old acquain tance Mr. Gradv replied: “A. K. Parks! Why, of course I do. I have noticed your name a hundred limes on our books, and always had a great desire to meet you. Why, this is an unexpected treat!” Whether the sudden recollection was produced by the neglected and injured expression on the old man’s face, the growls of the dog, that detected some displeasure about his master, or is an illustration of Mr. Grady’s Avonderful gift of memory v to recollect a weekly subscriber when his is only one among 126,000 names, is a conumdrum we leave with our readers to solve. On our return to camp we found sup per prepared,and Mr. Grady here drank the first cup of coffee that ever passed his lips. He tells us that water is his only beverage, but [of this he uses a great quantity. He has never tasted tea or milk. After supper the croAvd turned themselves loose and a great time Avas had. Grady collected the ne gro boat hands and kept them until a late hour singing old plantation melo- 8a M about due],.

Mr. Grady soon had the pleasure of witnessing a great natural curiosity—his first sun rise. He was charmed with tlie specta cle, but said that of course while the sunrises over here were not so fine as those of Atlanta, at tlie same time it AA-as a sight Avortli taking the trip to see. Grady also stated that last night was the first time he ever slept out of doors. To this Ike McCalla remarked, in a cas ual Avay, that lie always heard “Atlanta had a mighty vigilant police force,” when Grady subsided and turned the conversation to the scenery along the banks. Our next stopping place Avas Mat tox’s mill, at the head of Cherokee Shoals. As ou the previous day, a large number of little boats shot out from tlie banks and follOAved us, while every fer ry presented an animated scene. Hun dreds of man, Avomen and children had. stood for hours on the banks patiently Avaiting to see the boats pass and wave them a greeting. It AA-as certainly a novel and enter taining sight. Sometimes the boats Avere all alongside, each trying to pass the other, and more than one desperate naval engagement took place. One of these ended in a rival crew stealing the rudder fijom Capt. Grady’s boat, that left it at the mercy of the rapids just ahead.

Carlton. Mr. Grady also discovered that during the combat the enemy had captured liis son, Henry Grady, Jr., and held him’Secufely bomfltf’as' -a* hos tage. At other times one of the boats Avould ge^fastened on a reck, Avhen Avith a heartless indifference the other vessels would pass cheering, without stopping to render assistance. More than one of our party remarked tlie resemblance of our boats to .the pictures of those used by Stanley in liis exploration of the rivers of the Dark Continent. It Avas about noon Avheri Ave reached Col. Mattox’s farm, AA'liere an old-fash ioned Georgia barbecue aAvaited us. Here Ave found a large croAvd assembled from both Georgia and Carolina, but before landing among them it Avas de cided advisable to disembark in the Avoods on the Carolina side, where Mr. Grady and his fellOAV tourists might blend art Avitli nature in making up their apparel. Grady had not seen a barber shop in several days, but an im promptu tonsorial artist Avas discovered among the boatmen, who undertook the job. Here was presented another fine picture: Grady sitting on a log, his head bent back against a tree, Avhile a darkey Avith a razor as full of gaps as a mountain chain Avas pulling at his beard. “Hold still, boss,” replied the coon, as Grady manifested a desire to climb backwards up the tree. “Dis razor am a little dull, but ef de handle don’t broke de beard am bound to come!” All this time the crowd across the river were almost splitting their throats yelling for “Grady!” This ferry is a noted spot in the his tory of the hot-blood Jnd chivalry of the Palmetto and Empire states, for it is a famous ante-bellum duelling ground Only one encounter has taken place here since the war—between Capt. James Burch and Mr. Mark Knight, of Elber ton—which duel the writer witnessed. Mr. Knight, at the second fire, was shot through both thighs. Several other fights occurred on the Carolina hanks between Georgians, while the South Carolinians used an island just above the ferry for their duelling ground, little sandbar, on the extreme southern point of this island, has drank up the blood of more than one brave man. But duelling has now been abandoned to the regret of all brave and honorable men, for it is the only satisfactory man ner in which gentlemen can settle their differences.
