A Kaudom Talk—The Man who Heat Nat
Hammond— Congressman Clements
and his Baby.
special Correspondence.]
Washington, Jan. B.— Correspondent
Harris, of the Macon Telegraph, is mak
ing the Washington Bureau of that
splendid pajier quite a lively and inter
esting institution. He is a stirring man,
and his trim little figure can be seen
gliding about the capitol at almost any
hour of the day and about the hotel cor
ridors at nearly any hour of the evening
up to midnight. Harris will get the news,
no discount on that. And-he is so con
scientious and reliable, too. He don’t
send any cock and bull stories to his pa
lmer, but whenever he sets the wires in
motion it is with the honest purpose of
giving facts or well-founded rumor.
All newspaper men are not reliable. The
news that some of them send out, espe
cially from Washington, never has any
Inundation in fact, but is conceived and
hatched in some fertile imagination. Not
of this order is Harris, of the Telegraph-
A trained newspaper man who diligently
seeks for news, he is in all things clean
*md square. I came upon him the other
evening in conversation with a Southern
Congressman. He was on the hunt foi
news for his paper, and in taking leave
he apologised lor what he feared might
he regarded as persistency in his efforts
to get all that was freshest and latest in
political circles. After he was gone, the
Congressman remarked that Harris was
a good fellow and he liked to have him
call. Such things are not said of all
newspaper men, nor should they be. But
in this ease it was honestly said and well
deserved.
There promises to be some stormy dis
cussions in the present Congress, and I
venture that Harris will be in the midf-t
of the thickest of the fight, and flashing
echoes of the battle to his paper after
every onset.
Judge John l). Stewart, of the sth
Georgia district, is often pointed out in
Congress and spoken of in Washington
as “the man who beat Nat Hammond.”
Hammond had been so long in Congress
that he had come to be regarded as
something of a fixture. He was a good
lawyer and a strong debater. Besides, he
was fond of hearing his own voice in
Congress, and pushed prominently to the
front in rather frequent debate. And be
it said to his credit, there were few of
his colleagues who could down him. So
there was much surprise among people
who keep posted on national politics
when the news came that Hammond had
been defeated. I remember to have
heard the question frequently asked,
“Who is this fellow Stewart that beat
Hammond for Congress down in Ge or _
gift?”
So Judge Stewart is often designated
now as the man who beat Nat Ham
mond. It is safe to predict that this form
ot designation will soon give place to the
more complimentary one of “Stewart, of
Georgia.” Tho’ the expression, “the
man who beat Hammond,” is of itself
not uncomplimentary according to the
general view, as it was a considerable
teat to beat such a man. But the inten
tion is to say that he will begin to make
himself known and felt here for the work
he does in Congress rather than for the
man he happened to succeed.
1 here are, perhaps, readers of the
lourant-American who Would like to
know something more about Judge Stew
art.
1 dropped into Jiis room last Saturday
evening and was received with as cordial
a Georgia hand-shake as 1 have had in
many a day. The Judge was busy, very
busy, in the preparation of a bill intend
ed to regulate the internal revenue sys
,em - l ),l it 1 found that he possessed the
i‘markable faculty of dictating to a
1 <erk and entertaining two visitors, at the
same time. Of his revenue bill I will have
something to say further on. Just here
'' oll Prefer to hear something of the Judge
nimself. After having enjoyed his hospi
ality lor an hour, I am not surprised
*mt he could beat Mr. Hammond, or
anybody else, for that matter, but espe-
I Hammond, in a contest before the
I People. He is the kind of a man to sweep
11-it*I 1 -it* country precincts by storm. He is
■essentially a man of the people. The
I eat of his heart is felt in the pressure of
lus hum]. The geniality of his nature is
■ seen * u sparkle of his eyes, and hon
[;sty and energy are marked on every
■ ntuit ot his lace. This is the way he
impresses you at a glahce. He is essen
■la N ifferent from Hammond, who is
P mt the coldest .and most frigidly for-
I! I,laa with in a day’s jour-
can pass you on the
i| U * ,loa( l daylight and never see
can brush against you in the
V uriidoi without a look of recogni-
THE COUMM'-AMERICAN.
Don. He can lie introduced to y r ou to
day and not know you tomorrow. He
can sit at the sarntvtable with you at
dinner and say never a word. It’s just
the way of the man, and he seems to
treat all alike. But then its such a
plagued poor way with most people.
But there’s none of the iceberg about
Stewart. He’s a rnelter. I venture there
is scarcely a country fireside in the Fifth
where he would not be a welcome visitor,
and where his coming would not be hail
ed with delight. He has such a comfort
able way about him, and tells an anec
dote with such a glow of good humor,
that one naturally takes kindly to him.
But back of this anecdote and jest are
solid common-sense and untiring energy.
Judge Stewart is a good lawyer. That
is so well known in Georgia as to go
without saying, and Mr. Carlisle must
have found it out when he placed him on
the judiciary committee, which is about
the third committee in importance in the
House, and is intended to represent the
most advanced legal talent in Congress.
In personal appearance Judge Stewart
looks not unlike Rev. F. M. Daniel, for
mer pastor of the Baptist church iu Cai
tersville, only he is more robust and has
perhaps a more humorous cast of fea
tures. Should any Georgian chance to
visit Washington and cal 1 on Judge
Stewart, he will be found just as pleasant
and approachable as at his own home in
Griffin.
Touching the bill of Judge Stewart
bearing on the internal revenue laws, it
provides that Judges of the U. S. District
courts be required to appoint commis
sioners in every county of their respect
ive districts, whose duty it shall be to
try violators of the revenue law, and
when an arrest is made for violation of
said laws the offender shall not be car
ried out of his county for trial. It pro
vides also that arrests ot offenders
shall not be made by marshals and depu
ty marshals except on warrants issued
for that purpose, unless it be to prevent
an escape or the offender be apprehended
in the actual commission of the offense.
Another provision is, that any marshal
or deputy who shall unnecessarily or
wantonly destroy property shall be guil
ty of a misdemeanor and punishable by
fine or imprisonment.
Judge Stewart thinks this law is neces
sary in view of the many complaints that
parties are carried long distances for
trial, and the further complaint that
officers frequently destroy private prop
erty in a reckless and sometimes mali
cious manner. He has hopes that such
a bill will pass the present Congress.
In the arrangements of the standing
committees of the present Congress,
Georgia has received very flattering re
cognition. Four chairmanships, besides
a place on the Ways and Means, Appro
priations, Judiciary., Commerce and For
eign Affairs Committees, is not a bad
showing. Not another Southern State
has fared so well, for the very good rea
son that none of them had such material
to select from
Mr. Blount holds his former plnce as
chairman of the committee on Post Of
fices and Post Roads; Mr. Turner gives
up the chairmanship of the Committee
on Elections to Judge Crisp, and takes a
place on the Ways and Means Committee;
Mr. Candler is advanced to the chairman
ship of the Committee on Education; Mr.
Norwood gets a good place on the For
eign Affairs Committee; Judge Stewart is
complimented with a place on the Judi
ciary Committee, and Mr. Grimes and Dr.
Carlton are fairiy well provided for. But
Mr. Clements has fared as well or better
than any member of the delegation. In
addition to being advanced to the chair
manship of the Committee on Civil Ser
vice Reform, he lias been given a desira
ble and very important place on the Ap
propriations Committee, which ranks
second only to the Ways and Means, and
is, as a matter of fact, the most impor"
tent committee of Congress. Only men
of the largest information and soundest
judgment are placed on this committee,
and to be given such a place by the
speaker is justly regarded as a compli
ment of the first order.
I called at Mr. Clements’ rooms at the
Metropolitan one evening last week to
congratulate him on the appointment.
He was naturally pleased at the arrange
ment, and said it was the more gratify
ing as tlte appointment on the Appro
priations Committee came without any
effort on his part, but was the voluntary
action ot Speaker Carlisle. To be thus
recognized is a splendid compliment to
Mr. Clements’ ability, and will, I know,
give great satisfaction to his constit
uents in Georgia.
I say Mr. Clements was pleased at the
appointment of the committees—so he
was—but, really, he seemed more pleased
at the antics of a chubby little blue-eyed
girl baby that smiled in its mother’s
arms. Miss Clements, this was, and so
charmingly did she blink her eyes and
tug at her mother's finger, there is no
wonder that her father was pleased, and
forgot for the moment political prefer
ment under the influence of such delight
ful domestic enjoyments. Before being
tucked, in her crib, the baby good
naturedly threw a smile in my direction
and then began to study the wonders of
the walls, the ceiling and the chandelier,
while I took my leave, ruminating on
that blessed’old motto, “What is home
without a baby?” W. .f. N.
CARTERS VILLE, GA., FRIDAY, JAN. 13, 1888.
FOR THE FAIR.
Pen Pictures of tlie Young Men
Eligible to Matrimony.
By One of Cartersvilie’s Most Popular
Belles—Young Men, View Yourselves
They are good-looking, with unexcep
tionable manners, and each with an inde
finable chann of his own. Young ladies,
wishing to take advantage of the license
which leap year affords you—bow, smile,
and take your choice.
1. He has “cut Cupid’sbow'-string, and
the little hangman dare not shoot at
him.” Asa gallant cavalier he has cov
ered himself with glory for several ‘suc
cessive seasons, and why he persists in
leading a life of “single blessedness" is as
infallible a mystery as “who struck Billy
Patterson?” He possesses many admir.
able characteristics; don’t neglect him.
Call at book store. Age unknown.
2. A cultured divine, who doesn’t show
us the way to Heaven as steep and
thorny. He has read much, is a witty
and fascinating conversationalist, and
an entertaining speaker. Young and old
unite in sounding his*praises. Cupid j
like Death, loves a “shining mark,” but
his shafts in this direction have been un
successful. As agreat oracle has said no>
man can die piously without a wife, it
would be sweetest charity iu some fair
maiden to lead him a blushing bride
groom to the altar. A bargain at any
price.
3. An eligible parti; gallant, stylish,
fascinating, and a most excellent dancer.
Kind-hearted and generous to a fault.
Admires beauty in general, one in par
ticular. It is rumored that a lovely
belle has marked him for her own. Office
on Erwih street.
4. He is a “host within himself,” a
blonde, full of bonhomie and proprietor
of the first and fanciest grocery store in
town. Is very fond of patie de foi gras,
which may account for his slight inclina
tion to embonpoint. His silver hair is
no indication of age. is energet
ic, enthusiastic, facetious, inexhaust
ible, irrepressible, irresistible, incompar
able, witty, sesthetical and poetical.
“Age cannot wither him, nor custom
stale his infinite variety.” The boys all
like him, the girls sigh for him, but he
a “forbidden sweet.”
5. Rather tall, handsome, and perfect
ly irresistible, with a winsome smile and
winning ways. His friends are legion.
He has quite a penchant for foreign
belles, but has not yet exhibited a dispo
sition to abandon the joys of bachelor
hood, though he sometimes indulges in
love’s rose-colored dreams. If he won t
become a benedict he will make an ideal
bachelor, and with his fiddle and Chester
field manners, continue to captivate the
fancy and ensnare the heart of giddy six
teen, the invincible spinster and sad-eyed
widow. Sighs for the west, while the
maidens sigh for him. Would be a charm
ing sacrifice to offer up to Hymen, young
ladies.
6. A successful young planter; is re
markably comely and well built physical
ly. Has pleasant, manners,
and drives a superb and well-matched
pair of horses.
7. Stylish, with gm insouciant air, and
as graceful as a fairy t>n its native heath.
He doesn’t wear his heart on his coat
sleeve, and surely leads a “charmed life,”
for Cupid’s shafts have found him invul
nerable. From season to season
he flits from one blossom to another,
but never alights. With each revolving
year the tenderest hopes are excited by
his flattering notice, only to be blasted
sooner or later by the transfer of his re
gard, always before he has committed
himself—to a more fascinating object. Is
the successful manager of a large and
popular drug house. The prize is well
worth the race.
8. A young lawyer, who, by his fasci
nating manners and charming conversa
tional powers, has, iu a short time, made
himself the centre of an admiring circle
of friends. Is polished and talented,
with a fine melancholy face, critical taste
and languid manners. Rumor says he is
not “heart whole and fancy free.” Office
on Erwin street.
9. A professional ladies’ man, “stun
ning" looking, with a mustache of mili
itary cut; dances well and is fond of
driving. Is neat and irreproachable in
appearance, and has vivacious manners.
By his energy and strict attention to
business, he has risen to*be proprietor of
a store on Baife Block.
10. Proprietor of a dry goods house
that is an ornament to the town and a
credit to the successful manager. Is a
typical business man, remarkably steady,
and is an accomplished linquist.
IX- Salesman in a drug house; win
some and perfectly adorable—he is a uni
versal favorite, but it is rumored that
Cupid, that mischievous little archer,
has pierced his heart. To all pretty girls
he distributes “taffy” with charming im
partiality, and is addicted to love-mak
. v •
ing for fun. Another leap year may find
him enjoying connubial bliss. Young la
dies, look to your laurels, neglect him
not, for lucky is the young maiden who
marks him for her own.
12. Is deservedlv popular and may be
found at the postoffice. Is not averse to
matrimony. Has a picturesque face,
bonny smile, and merry twinkling eyes,
and a tenor voice as sweet as Apjiollo’s
lute. Energetic, ambitious, witty and
entertaining, he is a great favorite.
111. A talented lawyer and brilliant
young journalist—respected, honored,
loved and admired by all. He has a
classical face and easy, graceful manners.
Kind, manly, loyal, noble, generous and
social, there is a witchery about him few
can resist. For years lovely maidens
have angled for him in vain—he still re
mains a giddy bachelor. Fond of the
fair sex.
14. An exce’lent young man, of fine
business capacity and strictly moral. Is
unassuming, and has gentle, pleasant
manners. Cartersville regards him as
one of her most promising young men.
Of the girls he entertains no opinion
whatever; anyway, he never looks at
one. One of the first prizes in the matri
monial lottery.
15. A lawyer, blonde, and small of
statue. Is devoted to his profession, for
which he neglects the blossoms of the
boudoir and ball room. Views from
heigfafc&f a superior philosophy the mar
ried estate, vows he will never wed, but
that is only a “feather in his cap,” as all
women sigh for the unattainable. Melt
his heart and you will find pure gold.
19. Fond of the lemale element and
said to be susceptible. Has a prepos
sessing face, is sunny tempered, and pos
sesses fine businens qualifications. Asa
beau, he is favorably regarded by the
mamas. Doesn’t always wait to be “off
with the old love before he is on with the
new.” Head clerk in a popular dry goods
house, and a pearl of rare price.
17. Tall as a god, a magnificent phys
ique, distinguished and military bearing,
handsome features, and agreeable man
ners, make lip a tout en semble very cap
tivating to the fair sex. A rising and
successful young physician, skillful, kind
and attentive. His road to fame and
fortune is a “foregone conclusion.” Is
intelligent, pleasant in conversation, and
a good listener. Has not yet formed
any matrimonial entanglement, so is
open to proposals. Will make an admir
able Benedict.
<TB. A- tall, handsome brrniettrr fms n
very striking and intellectual face and
fine figure. Bright and entertaining in
conversation and very attractive, but is
somewhat of a recluse. The girl he woos
and weds must be a rara avis, but he is
apt to steer clear of wedlock, as he is sup
posed to be fire-proof. Resides with his
mother in the suburbs.
19. A dignified lawyer, graceful and
fluent speaker, talented, polished, full of
wit and wonderfully fascinating, with a
soft, caressing voice; he numbers his
friends by the score. Is rather exclusive
iu his attentions; burns all his incense
before one shrine. Madam Rumor has it
that he has already won the “queen of
hearts,” but leap year will give others a
chance at the prize.
20. A Spanish blonde, slightly built,
and decidedly good looking; is attract
ive in appearance, has rather a melan
choly face, and is not matrimonially in
clined. Proprietor of the furniture store.
Ladies, Your Attention!
Is called to* the letters following. No
doubt many a suffering woman, after
reading these letters, will avail them
selves of the experience related by her
sister in distant Missouri, and in the
Empire State of the South, and thank
them in their hearts for the information
by which blessed relief from disease and
suffering can assuredly be had. It was a
most commendable thought in these
ladies to make known their suffering
that sisters elsewhere might be informed
of an infallible remedy for the ailments
from which they had suffered for years.
Miss Lydia Jones, No. 412 East Fourth
St., Kansas City, Mo., writes under date
of July 11th, 1887:
Swift Specific Cos., Atlanta, Ga.:
Gentlemen —L have taken 1 dozen bot
tles of your S. S. S., and I am happy to
say 1 am entirely well. 1 have tried all
patent medicines, but never found one
like the S. S. S. I was troubled with
weakness incident to women, pain in the
back and in my chest. 1 thought I was
beyond relief. When I commenced to
take your medicine I weighed eighty-four
pounds, to-day I weigh one hundred and
fifty-five, and feel well and hearty. If
you feel like publishing this, do so, for
I feel that it will be helping other
sufferers.
Mrs. Mamy F. Bryan, No. 41 Factory
St., Atlanta, Ga., writes, August 16th
1887:
“When twenty-five years ot age, I had
a severe case of milk-leg. I tried many
physicians in my native state, but all of
the remedies preserbed failed to do me
any good. Almost in despair, I went to
Alabama to consult a noted physician,
who told me that my entire system was
poisoned by my disease. Everybody
thought I would never get well., I am
now fifty-five years of age, and was a
constant sufferer from my twenty-fifth
year till last year. In May, 1886, Dr. J.
Carter, a worthy physician of this city,
told me to try your valuable remedy,
8. 8. 8. I did so, and the result has been
wonderful. Before, I could scarcely walk
about the house; now I can walk two
miles, and my health is better than it
has been for ten years. I cannot say too
much for your valuable remedy. You
can refer any one to me, for I can truth
fully say I believe it saved my life last
summer.

TOMLIN VS. “DEVOTEE.”
A Terse Answer by Tunilin to
• “Devotee’s” Queries.
He Claim* that His Remarks Were Mis
apprehended or Misrepresented.
Editors Cofkant-Amerioan: In your
columns I find myself charged with du
plicity by “A Devotee.” At the same
time he asks,
Ist, “Where I learned of their imbecili
ity and that their goodness was purely
commercial? Will he oblige them?”
You must be a man of authority. Who
are “them” you seem to represent? If
you are not, you certainly are very pre
sumptuous. Who asked you to speak
for “them?” Was it*.your Aunt Sally,
your Bon John, or “them (the church)?”
Show up your authority, then I will an
swer directly, and to the satisfaction of
all. You do not know the meaning of
words, that’s what’s the matter with
you. Who are you, anyway? Show your
ace, sir. I don’t like to talk to a man in
the dark. Darkness is the symbol of
meanness. I know a good many of your
names, but do not know which one of
the you are. Evidently something
5s the matter with you. You are either
one-eyed or have but one idea, and it is
this: that the church is bigger than the
world, and you are the church. I will
tell you what you remind me of. It is a
little dog I saw the other day; one of
these little fellows with his nose turned
up. They are death to fight. I suppose
he had been in the habit of pitching in to
everything he met, so walking up before
a glass, his image was reflected, and in a
momeilt he went for it, breaking the
glass, but failing to find anything else.
Now, sir, that’s just what you have done;
you have broken my glass; and if you
done it intentionally you are meaner
than the dog. You may ask what I
mean. Well, sir, it is this: My article in
the Herald was a glass, you looked into
it and saw yourself, pitched into me for a
fight, and done nothing but broke my
glass. How? Where? Why, sir, you
broke my words. You left out words
that gives to your charge a significance
altogether different to what would be
conveyed to thejmind jf you had quoted
Trie correctly. Look at the bottom of
your interrogations. It reads thus, as
3 T ou put, it: “State when he learned of
their imbecility and that their good
ness,” signifying the whole. Now read
mine: “The most of them.” Why did
you leave that out? There is nothing
in my statement, and in saying it, I but
wiice the words I have heard a thousand
times from your pulpit. 1 have never
said what your language makes me say.
I have often declared from my own pul
pit —and that, too, with emphasis—that
in your ranks are many true and noble
souls. I love them. In your immediate
church in Cartersville I have companions
and friends whom I love as if 1113" brother
or sister. I know them, and I know their
great hearts throb with sympathy in be
half of degraded man; that in their every
thought they hold the interest of human
ity, and that the arms of their spirit,
like those of their Master, encircle the
earth, and in word and deed echo the
sweet words of Jesus, “Come unto Me.”
2nd, Mr. “Devotee” says my reasons
as given through the Herald are “so en
tirely different” from those when I sever
ed my connection with the Methodist
church. Now, what does that mean?
Just this: that I have’made statements,
the incongruity of which is so apparent
as to be marvelous —so much so that the
church has commissioned him to inquire
into the matter. Let us stick to facts,
Bro. I) , and the fact is, I never gave any
reasons at all. I was not present at any
time during the meeting of that confer
ence. What I said was in writing, the
duplicate of which now lies before me,
and thus it reads: “For reasons not nec
essary to relate,” etc. I then briefly gave
my experience while in the church, wish
ing it a grand future. I believe that
such an one awaits it. And why? Be
cause in her ranks is material suscepti
ble of being developed into a grand hu
manity. Like the Western prairie, it may
as yet never produced plant or flower;
the foot of genius never left its impress
there, nor brain nor muscle kissed its
soil, yet it but awaits the coming of these
things to pour into the world’s treasury
its bountiful harvest. So with that
church. It has the mone3 r , the brains, the
“git up and git.” But as a bod3’ likes
the one thing needful, the baptism of the
Holy Spirit, which is the soul’s total
sunshine. Then, with such men as Fel
ton, Robins, Roberts and Lee, of our
grand old State, to lead them, out of her
bosom will grow a manhood and woman
hood that will reflect the image of God.
It is coming, but is not here yet. ’Til
then commercial piety and goodness will
live. Moral and spiritual imbecility will
fester along the progress of church; send
out its poison creating moral poison and
death. The names above mentioned, to
gether with some of their followers, have

read the significance of the text, “You
believe in God, Iwdieve also in Ale,” teach
ing that every man is potentially all that
Jesus was and that he was but
the most successful diver in the fnfinite
sea of spiritual being whose floor of |>eail
is the property of 11s all. A heart touch
ed by this thought is furnished a motive
to virtue, an inspiration to godliness.
An insight into God’s purposes and an
idea of Immunity are calculated to lift a
man to those heights where he can com
mune with God and walk in the light of
His countenance. It has already lifted
these men fifty years above their church.
The church will follow. Already I see the
advanced guard struggling up towards
Heaven, as whispering echoes climb the
walls of some vast dome, gathering
strength as they reverberate from the
approaching surface, till, at the focus
yonder, not fifty yards ahead, a shout
will go up that will be* heard from crea
tion to millennium, “All in Christ, Christ
in God, and God all in all.” That is
Universalianism.
As I stated, l never gave any reasons.
After I had withdrawn from the church,
facts before unknown to me developed
themselves, about which 1 made state
ments —but that has nothing to dcfwith
the present question—facts that point
only to one man, Tom Pierce. T hate
not got a very good opinion of him*
either.
Once more, Mr. I), says 1 “vowed alle
giance to that denomination.” I do not
know what he understands by vowed al
legiance. If it means 1 surrendered to
that or any other creed he certainly mis
apprehended me. I would die first. True,
I never preached anything while with
them that could notbeendorsed by them,
but then I never preached some things
that would. My sermons were practical
and common to all fraternities. More
over, if such a thing had been exacted of
me after the statements I made, it would
have been the act of friends aud not men.
The main question of difference was the
duration of punishmont, in answer to
which I declared I repudiated, in all its
length and breadth, the doctrine of inter
minable wrath, as Reid b3 r the masses,
nor could I respect a law, human or
Divine, if there was such a law that did
not have reformation for its object.
Now, Mr. “Devotee,” if yufl were there,
you are obliged to know what I state is
true; if you were not there, some of those
“Devotee” boys must have told 3 T ou. If
that is where 3 ? ou got your information,
let me warn you not to talk after them,
for the3 r are very unreliable.
Yours, truly, V. M. Tumjlix.
