THURSDAY, JULY 14, IHB7^_ 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.

Word. 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. Communicated. 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.” .

THE GRAND ARMY OF RIPSNORT ERS CAN’T BULLDOZE HIM. He Cancel* His Engagement at tlie St. Louis Fair, hut Will Come to At auta, Where Decent Civility Will he Shown Him. It is now a positive fact that it is the intention of the president and his wife to attend the Piedmont exposition in At lanta next October. The president in tended going to the St. Louis fair, where there was to an be encampment of the G. A. R. Some of the grand army of ripsnorters took offense at the Presi dent's order to return the Confederate flags to the south and said they would not attend the St. Louis fair if Presi dent Cleveland did. The President is coming to Georgia, the empire State of the South, where civility and respect hangs out on the lachstring of the outer door, and where his own and his beauti ful young w ife's presence will be appre ciated. Listen how the spunky presi dent salts down the howlers of the G. A. tt.: 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 tm F £ROYAL S!lAs m POWDER Absolutely Pure. Tliis powder never varies. A marvel of purity, strength and wholesoineness.

Hoping the encampment maybe an oc casion of much usefulness, and that its proceedings may illustrate the highest patriotism of the American citizen, I am yours, very sincerely, G cove it Cleveland. 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 his visit to Atlanta in October next, on the occasion ofthe Piedmont Exposition.

Dauphin, New Orleans, La. The next occurrence of a similar nature will be on Tuesday August 9th, 1887. 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.
