Pi nx.ir attention is now centered upon
the prohibition campaigns being waged
in tin* states of Texas and Tennessee.
Tho context ju the former state, especial
ly, is said to be the most notable ever
made. .
M ich.ee Augustine, Archbishop of
New York, has given formal notice of the
ex-communication of MeGlynn.
Senator Morgan will stump the state
of Alabama for re-election to the senate,
on the free trade platform. The senti
ment in favor of protection is growing
too strong over thereto give the senator
au easy walk. •
Says the Galveston News: “Before
Texan jieoplecontribute lavishly to the
fund to build a monument to Grant's
honor they should recall the fact that no
monument has yet been erected to Sam
Houston, and his grave is even unmark
ed by a tombstone. Patriotism, like
charity, may decently begin at home.
The Louisville Courier-Journal says:
“Mr. Henry Watterson lias been obliged,
under the orders of his physician, to
cancel his speaking engagement and go
to the sett shore for needed rest and re
creation, Accompanied by Mrs. Matter
son, he left for the East yesterday. Ou
Sunday their children will arrive from
Switzerland, when? they have been at
school two years, and the family wil
summer at Block Island.
The evangelists are not the only
preachers who are well paid. Hr. John
Hall preaches in New York to a con
gregation which represents $200,000,000.
The doctor gets $20,000 of this every
year. Dr. Morgan Dix serves Trinity
church, tin* richest religious congioga
-1 ion in the world, for $15,000 a year.
Dr. Paxton preaches to Jay Goulds
chinch fr $15,000 a year. A dozen
other preachei-w in New York get over
SIO,OOO a year.
The I'resident, according to the Phila
delphia Times, has leva talking freely
with a gentleman not named, ami this
item is given:“ The gentleman with
whom this conversation was had was
very much surprised when the President
intimated that lie regarded General
Sheridan as the strongest man the Re
publicans could nominate and very
clearly indicated that he would feel more
anxiety over the campaign with Sheri
dan at the head of the opposing ticket
than Blaine, Sherman or Allison.
The Result in Floyd.
The prohibition contest just closed in
Floyd county, was probably the most
holly contested campaigns that ever
transpired in Georgia on this question.
Every vote was thoroughly canvassed
pro and eon and from the decided major
ity given for prohibition, law and order,
their might and throttled the ravages ot
the greatest and most damnable evil
the world ever saw. Saturday was n
grand duv for the good old county, and
the steps taken that day will prove that
of anew era. Sobriety will prevail, plenty
abound and the future happiness of her
people, rich and poor alike, is assured.
Prohibition is a good thing, we speak
from experience. The people of Bartow
are so well pleased that they have forever
bai red any possibility of an election on
the questii n again. The morals of the
people have been wonderfully improved
under the new order of things, while
there never was a happier people. Peace
and plenty reigns supreme, all on ac
count of prohibition.
Noble Floyd county, you have done
well. Now. w hen the time comes, let the
people elect good officers to carry out
the law to the very letter, and let them
feel the assurance of the support of the
law-abiding people. When the law is
not. trifled with then will Floyd enjoy the
blessings of a great movement that is
bound to prevail the width and breadth
of tliis grand old America.
Kuliarlee Farmers’ Club.
The above club held it** regular month
ly meeting, for June, according to ap
pointment, at the residence of Mr. G. A.
Fink. The meeting was promptly called
to order by the president, Mr. G. A. Fink,
at 10 o’clock a. in. Our worthy secreta
ry, Mr. H. 11. Milam, called the roll. All
tile members answered to their names
except l)r. Calhoun, who was absent on
a count of professional duties, there being
a great deal of sickness in the communi
ty, mostly measles. This club has been
in nn organized state and working har
moniously now for about four years.
Our monthly meetings are always times
of refreshing. They are not only refresh
ing, but occasionally of decided interest
and of considerable profit, esjiecially to
the younger members. The exchanging
of views by the members of the club
touching every variety of interest within
the realm of agricultural life, is an de
ment in our meetings that is growing,
undin proportion toils growth is the
steady increase of the general interests of
the order. The topic for discussion (and
we always have one) affords a degree of
interest and general information that we
could not otherwsse have. Onr last
meeting was enlivened and spirited by
an experience meeting. By this method
we get nl the practical as well as the the
ocelicul side of farm life. The unanimous
voice of the club is, let every farmer iu
the land plant a variety. Don’t dejieiul
on cotton to buy your home supplies.
ltaise your hog and hominy on your own
farm.
Reports from members of the club show
very flattering prospects for the present
growing crop; the outlook was never bet
ter in this locality. Last, but by no
means the least, enjoyable feature of out
last meeting, was the bountiful supply of
the substantial and delicacies that al
ways quench the thirst and satisfies t in*
appetite of a hungry man. Dinner is no
small part of the programme, and us a
witness to the foots involved, we will say
that few ladies know better how to grace
a table than Mrs. G. A. Fink, wife of our
worthy president.

western & Atlantic Railroad and Bet
terments.
lion. Joseph E. Brown has just ad
dresed a letter to Governor Gordon in
reference to the Western A: Atlantic rad
road, in which the rights and liabilities
of the lessees and the question of better- ]
ments are discussed. This preeipitates
the most important question.concerning !
which the people of Georgia have hud to i
deal, in many years. It is a matter that
touches directly the tax-payer. Its
equitable adjustment involves the inter
ests of the people of Georgia as well as
that of the lessees.
Senator Brown, in this letter, sets
forth the claims of the lessees for better
meats, and puts the State on notice that
they will demand pay for them; or in
the event of a refusal to accept them, at
a fair valuation, then they claim the
right to remove them and substitute in
their stead just such as were ou the road
when they revived it from the state.
Senator Brown states the claims of the
road about as follows: “Immense
changes hare taken place and great im
provements have l>een made in railroad
ing within the seventeen years of the
lease of the Western and Atlantic. In
stead of the old iron rail, which upon u
railroad doing a large carrying business,
only stood the wear from six months to j
two and three years, we now have the
• Bessemer steel, which on a railroad of
like business, will last fifteen to twenty
years or more. Instead of the small en
gines of that day, we have the large ten
wheel engine of about double t lie capaci
ty. Instead of the ten ton cars, which is
as much as most of the railroads would
permit upon their iron rail track, we
now have cars from twenty to twenty
five tons capacity. Such engines and
cars placed upon the iron track of the
olden time, would have crushed it to
pieces in a very short time. Now the
steel rail is able to endure the wear of
the engines with long trains of loaded
cars of immense weight daily run over
the tracks.
“The contract of lease between the State
of Georgia and tin* Western and Atlantic
Railroad Company, binds the company
to pay the State monthly, the sum ot
twenty-live thousand dollars renta 1 ,
which the company has done every month
since the lease, and almost invariably
upon the last day of the month. The
contract of lease also binds the les
sees to return the road to the State in as
good condition at the expiration of the
lease ns when received, and these are the
only requirements of the contract and of
the bond given by the lessees, to-wit:
that they* pay the rental promptly every
month and return the road in as good
condition as they received it. Provision
is made by the act authorizing the lease,
for the appointment of a commission
by the Governor to examine the railroad
carefully and make out a written invent
ory or schedule of the condition of the
railroad and its rolling stock and its
appurtenances, which is to be filed in the
executive office and recorded in the
Secretary of State's office, that the evi
dence of the condit ion of the road at the
time may be perpetuated.
“This was done, and the commission
made its report, which was recorded and
a subsequent Legislature required that a
new commission be appointed, who
and its rolling stock, which was done,
and both are on record, and no great
difference exists between them.
“Now, what was the condition of the
road seventeen years ago when it was
turned over to the lessees? As the re
port of the Commissioners shows; the
track was almost all in wretchedly bad
order, the iron was generally worn out
or very badly worn; it was much of it
made of soft, inferior quality of iron,
that would not stand wear or tear any
considerable length of time. There was
not anything like enough of side track
room upon the line of the road or its
terminal points. The engines were light,
and most of them inferior. The cars
were ten ton cars and most of them
were badly worn, many of them scarcely
fit for use.
“The Company received from the State
071 freight cars. It now has nearly 1,-
400. All it received were old fasioned
tea ton cars, most of them very badly
worn, und many of them unfit for use;
and all it had made or purchased for a
number of years past have been large
twenty-ton cars, which are required by
the present practice of railroading and
are neccessary to do the carrying required
so as to meet the fierce competition of
the present time. The company received
from the State forty-four engines, twelve
of them condemned or almost worthless,
the remaining thirty-two many of them
badly worn. The company now has
fifty-five engines in good condition, and
quite a large proportion of them the
large ten-wheel engine, that will carry
more twenty-ton cars over the line now
than one of the engines received from the
State would carry of ten-ton cars.
“The company has taken up all the old
rails, most of which it was dangerous to
pass over with a train running at any
considerable speed, and has laid down
the whole length of the road with an ex
cellent article of Ilesseiner steel. The
company has laid down twenty-one miles
of additional side track, which was found
necessary. Part of this is in Atlanta,
part in Chattanooga and part at differ
ent points along the line of road. The
company has expended a very large sum
of money in thoroughly ballasting the
track, greatly improving the condition
of the road. It has removed the old
wooden bridges when worn out and re
placed them with iron bridges.
“The difference in gauge that existed
between the Northern and Southern sec
tion of the country was a very serious
inconvenience in transportation. The
old gauge of the South which was iu ex
istence at the date of the lease and until
one year ago, was five fe**t. What is
known as the standard northern gauge
was four feet nine inches, and the same
rolling stock will run over a four feet
eight and a half inches, or n four feet
nine inch gauge.
“A little more than a year ago when
other companies were changing the
gauge of their roads, so as to conform to
the standard Jtauge, the Western and
Atlantic Railroad Company, at a very
heavy excuse to its treasury, changed
the gauge of this road so as to bring it
to the standard gauge, und to enable it
to keep pace with its connecting lines.
The company also paid between seven
and e g it thousand dollars cash to com.
plete the Kate’s part of the passenger
depot in Atlanta, which was not comple
ted at the date of th^lense.
Thelessoes claim that they have tho
right, under the lease contract, to re
move the steel rails, and replace in their
stead the same grade of inferior iron rail
found upon it when they received it;
to side track, as its own, over seven hun
dred of its present cars, and twenty-three
of its best engines; and take up twenty*-
one miles of side-track which they hove
built. Then, they say the road would be
returned lo the stute in a fur better con
dition than when they took charge, and
as they are only bound to return the
road in as good condition as it was when
they received it. the state would have no
light to complain.
It is rather early to undertaken dis
cussion of these claims. Whether just
or unjust, they will and must be de
termined by the legislature. The claims
of the lessees should have an intelligent
and fair investigation. Whatever they*
are equitably entitled to, if anything, as
pay for betterments, the state of Geor
gia cannot, and will not. afford to refuse.
As stated in the contract, it cannot Is*
considered in any other light than that
of a great question, involving the rights
of both the state and the lessees, and the
legislature must take that view. It de
serves their best thought and most ear
nest consideration, and that at once.

Dr. Felton’s “ Friend” Makes a Rejoin
der in the Doctor’s Absence.
Editors Cocraxt-Amebican The ar
gument is about exhausted when the
lawyers occupied nearly all of your last
w*ek’s issue principally to point out to
the tax-payers of the county the needy
condition of certain legal lights, apparell
ed in “old hats,” “slipshod shoes,” and
“threadbare coats,” hoping to awaken
sympathy to their pecuniary condition,
hut the limit to toleration has also been
reached when another legal light, forget
ting Dr. Felton's age, his public service
to this countv as well as his gratuitous
pulpit service of nearly* forty years, so
far disgraces himself as to compare the
Doctor to a “mad bull pawing up red
CLAY IN TIIE TENNESSEE ROAD.” Barely a
year ago the same legal -light would have
followed the Doctor's footsteps in any
performance perhaps, even to “eating
dirt," if thereby he could have fastened
himself securely to the old man’s coat
tails, thereby to be pulled into the legis
lature. But the county was wide awake
to the effort and authoritatively refused
to have this vascillating attorney to
represent them—in one district giving
him only three votes, if correctly report
ed by the returns. The people of Bar
tow county had seen this nimble politi
cian in years gone by descend to the
most virulent and unprovoked abuse of
I)r. Felton, so long as there was the least
prospect of getting either favor or posi
tion for such abuse from his political ene
mies—and although they were told the
hands were Esau's the voice was certain
ly Jacob’s beyond peradtenture; when
lie jumped into the canvass last fall and
cried out “Here I am, one of the same
sort—elect me and 1 11 do the same way,”
and in spite of the Doctor, this affection
ate little attorney, “honeing" for the of
fice. would be embraced, whether or no.
Being disappointed, for the county knew
him better and loved him less, than did
the old Doctor, he naturally “draps"
back to another scheme, aud turns his
batteries on the old man again to catch
the wind on the other tack, as he hopes.
But he has also fled to the Tabernacle —
caught hold on the horns of the altar for
safety, like one of old—and unblushing
when iie cries out “Come up to the Tab
ernacle, Doctor, and let me pray for you!”
“Yes, let me pray for you!” Without
leave or license he drags out the sheriffs,
bailiffs, commissioners and all other
county office-holders, and with character
istic impudence, offers their public pray
ers to the Doctor, the performance to
he carried out in full display on the amen
benches under the Tabernacle roof next
September. It is to be hoped they were
not parties to this I'harasaical pro
gramme, for it is self-evident that the
next Tabernacle meeting under such aus
pices and such management w ill start off
handicapped with more than it can bear,
mid it is a shame that the generous kind
ness of the donor of the Tabernacle
should be so outrageously imposed upon,
and the purposes of the Tabernacle meet
ing should be so flagitiously perverted to
an office-seeker’s “honeing” for some of
ficial position wherein to draw pay from
the public. There is always hope of u
wicked man, whose honesty forbids hy
pocrisy—because by the very nature of
the case his condition is open to argu
ment and entreaty; but this bare-faced
use of Brother Sam. .Jones' Tabernacle,
as well as the public use of the names of
church members who are likewise oui
popular county officers, to serve his po
litical ends, is as despicable as it is case
hardened. Such county officers would do
well to shift the odium of such outra
geous publicity upon the shoulders of
those who have used their church rela
tions merely as a breastwork, behind
which to bide the spite and spleen of a
disappointed politician, or the effect
might astonish them hereafter —for ob
vious reasons.
Now, a word on the Piedmont fair sub
scription, which for some strange motive
Col. T. Warren Akin harps upon persist
ently; and not content with advertising
his own fifty-dollar contingent subscrip
tion in your columns once over his own
signature, takes opportunity to herald it
the second time in the same unblushing
way. using his animosity to Dr. Felton
as a vehicle by which to keep this unac
customed and far-fetched liberality con
tinually before this people and tin gener
al public. Doctor Felton is at his post,
in Atlanta, where the people of Bartow
county employed him to go, preferring
him to his now spiteful opponent, and he
is not only lyiawares of this article but
he has never inspired a line of it, so it is
without his knowledge or connivance,
when it is now affirmed, that he never
shirks an honest debt, and has never re
fused to pay any obligation to which he
had signed his name, no matter if it re
quired all the money In* could make by
honest and lawful methods. If he felt
unable to rise by the side of his critic and
propose to pay fifty dollars to a fair iu
Fulton county, (especially as the scheme
seems to be a sort of individual monop
oly, so far confined to one stockholder,
so to speak) by what authority does
Col. T. Warren Akin go into a public ga
zette to pronounce Dr. Felton a default
er to public expectation and a witholder
of money that should have been thus do
nated? Truly, Shakspeare was right
when he said, “O, cunning enemy, that
to catch a saint with saints doth bait
thy hook 1” Take this subscription with
you to tie Tabernacle, brother Akin, and
pray over it, and he slue to imv it, if
you do not, (as did I)r. Felton) decide iu
the meanwhile to let charity begin at
home! If the exjierience of our citizens
was put on the witness stand, and com
manded to give a reason why the pros
perity and progress of our section has
been uniformly crippled in all past public
undertakings and public works, the an
swer might perhaps be unpalatable as
well as truthful. If Dr. Felton always
declines to bait the general public with
well advertised personal subscriptions
merely to make u blow, he can very safe
ly, dear h.s skirts of any complicity with
tricks or schemes by which innocent and
honest investors aye sometimes made to
suffer that experts may reap both profit
and notoriety in the “wind up.”

St. Louis, Mo., July 7. Mayor Fran
cis has received the following letter
from President Cleveland, declining to
visit St. Louis, and giving his reasons
therefor:
Executive Mansion. 1
Washington, July 4, 1887. /
Hon. David It. Francis, Mayor and Chair
man :
My Dear Sir —When I received the ex
tremely cordial and gratifying invitation
from the citizens of St. Louis, tendered
by a number of her representatives, to
visit that city during the national en
campment of the Grand Army of the Re
public, l had beeu contemplating for
some time the acceptance of an invita
tion from that organization to the same
effect, and had considered the pleasure it
would afford me, if it should be possible,
to meet not only the members of the
Grand Army of the Republic, but the
people of SL Louis and other cities in
the West, which the occasion would give
me the opportunity to visit. The exac
tions of my public duties I felt to be so
uncertain, however, that when first con
fronted by the delegation of which you
were the head, 1 expected to do no more
at that time than to promise the consid
eration of the double attention tendered
me and express the pleasure it would
give me to accept the same thereafter if
possible, but the cordiality and sincerity
of your presentation, reinforced by tlie
heartiness of the good people who sur
rounded you, so impressed me that I
could not resist the feeling which prompt
ed me to assure you on the spot that I
would be with you and the Grand Army
of the Republic at the time designated,
if nothing happened in the meantime to
absolutely prevent my leaving Washing
ton. Immediately upon the public an
nouncement of this conclusion express
ions emanating from certain important
members of the Grand Army of the Re
public, aud increasing in volume and vir
ulence, constrained me to review my ac
ceptance of these invitations. The ex
pressions referred to go to the extent of
declaring that I would be
AN UNWELCOME GUEST
at the time aixl place of ihe national en
campment. This statement is based, as
well as I can judge, upon certain official
acts of mine, involving important public
interests, done under the restraints and
obligations of my oath of office, which
do not appear to accord with the wishes
of some members of the Grand Army of
the Republic. 1 refuse to believe that
this organization, founded upon patri
otic ideas, composed very largely of men
noUlUil taloußnfl' 110,1 Of -Hi,! ——
turn, and whose crowning glory it
should be that they are American citi
zens as well as veteran soldiers, deems it
a part of its mission to compass any
object or purpose by attempting to
INTIMIDATE THE EXECUTIVE
or coerce those charged with making
and executing the laws, and yet the ex
pressions to which I have referred indi
cate such a prevalence of unfriendly feel
ing and such a menace to an occasion
which should be harmonious, peaceful
and cordial, that they cannot be ignored.
1 beg you to understand that I am not
conscious of any act of mine which
should make me fear to meet the Grand
Army of the Republic, or any other as
semblage of my fellow-citizens. The ac
count of my official stewardship is al
ways ready for presentation to my fel
low countrymen. I should not be frank
if I failed to confess, while disclaiming
all resentment, that I have been hurt by
UNWORTHY AND WANTON ATACKS UPON
ME,
grow ing out of this matter and the reck
less manner in which my actions and
motives have been misapprehended, both
publicly and privately, for which, how
ever, the Grand Army of the Republic, as
a body, is by no means responsible.
THREATS OF PERSONAL VIOLENCE
and harm in case I undertake the trip iu
question, which scores of misguided, un
balanced men under the stimulation of
excited feeling have made, are not even
considered. Rather than abandon my
visit to the West and disappoint your
citizens I might, if I were alone concern
ed, submit to the insults to which, it is
quite openly asserted, I would be help
lessly subjected, if present at the encamp
ment, but l should bear with me there
THE PEOPLE’S HIGHEST OFFICE,
the dignity of which I must protect, and
1 believe that neither the Grand Army of
the Republic as an organization, nor any
thing like a majority of its niembers,
would even encourage any scandalous
attacks upon ft. If,however, among the
membership of this body there are some,
as certainly seems to be the Case, deter
mined.to denounce ino and my of filial
acts at the national encampment, 1 be
lieve they should be permitted to do so
unrestrained by my presence as a guest
of the hospitable city in which the en
campment is to be held.
A number of the Grand Army posts
have signified their intention, I am in
formed, to remain away from the en
campment in case I visit the city at that
time, Without considering the merit of
such excuse, I Teel that I ought not to be
the cause of such non-attendance. The
time and place of the encampment were
fixed long before my invitations were re
ceived. Those desiring to participate in
its proceedings should be firsf regarded
and nothing should be permitted to in
terfere with their intentions. Another
consideration of more importance than
all others remains to be noticed. The
fact was referred to by you when you ver
bally presented the invitation of the citi
zens of St. Louis, that the coming en
campment of the Grand Army of the
Republic would be the first held in the
houthern States. I suppose this fact
was mentioned as a pleasing indication
of
FRATERNAL FEELING
so fast gaining ground throughout the
entire land and hailed by every patriot c
citizen as an earnest desire that the
Union has really aud in fact been saved
in sentiment and spirit with all the bene
fits it vouchsafes to a united people. 1
cannot rid myself of a belief that the
least discord on this patriotic occasion
might retard the progress of the senti
ment of a common brotherhood which
the Grand Army of the Republic had so
good an opportunity to increase aud fos
ter. I certainly ought not to be the
cause of such discord in any event or up
on any prefect.
it seems to me that you and the citi
zens of St. Louis are entitled to this un
reserved statement of the conditions
which have constrained me to forego my
contemplated visit and to
WITHDRAW MV ACCEPTANCE
of your invitation. My presence in your

WILL NOT GO WEST.
It is practically settled that the presi
dent will not visit the West at all during
the present year. The abandonment of
his proposed trib to St. Louis has resul
ted in wholly changing whatever plans
he had made for visiting Western cities.
It is stated at the White House this
afternoon that the only plans the presi
dent Ims made for leaving Washington
during the summer and autumn are
those for his visit to X. Y.,011 thel2inst.,
which will probaly not consume alto
gether more than a week's time, and for

Harper's Weekly is not as well pleased
with the administrtion as it was. It
It now says: “If the statement regard
ing tiie fourth-class post-offices is ap
proximately accurate there has been a
clean sweep of that service in two years
If that be possible under an administra
tion whose heart is sincerely interested
in reform, what is to prevent a similar
sweep under any successor, and where,
then, so far as this matter is concerned,
is the gain for reform? If the report of
this wholesale change be untrue the fact
should be known. If it is true the fact
is for every reason to be deeply regret
ted.

Dear Sir:—Your Diarrlnea and Dysen

fering humanity and I unhesitatingly
endorse it in each and every particular.
1 never think of leaving home without a
bottle in my satchel.
On a trip to Eurojie last summer I
had occasion to test its merits thorough

Dear Sir—l have used your Diarrlnea

me to reecommed it to others. One
special case came under my observation
which I consider remarkable: An oid
man purchased a bottle from me and
with a single bottle cured six memliers
of his family who were suffering from
Diarrlnea and Dysentery. I could men
tion numerous other cases. Please send
me another dozen at once as I mnentiiely
out and have six or seven bottles already
engaged. It is truly a wonderful remedy.
Yours truly, W. Pittakd.

Bowel troubles come mi suddenly, and
no one should be without a remedy in

Diarrlnea and Dysentery Specific gives
almost immediate relief, while if neglected
complications of a fatal nature soon arise.
