TUESDAY, JUNE 8, 1886.
All of the official advertis
ing? of Bartow county will be
found in the American.
Queen Victoria sent a special message
to President Cleveland congratulating
him on his marriage. f *
Maj. A. O. Bacon wants the railroad
commission law to remain unimpaired—
the Constitution to the contrary notwith
standing.
It was much easier for Polk county to
elect delegates for Cordon aud Blance
than it’s going to be for Cordon and
Blance to be nominated.
In another column will be found the
masterly letter of Hon. J. C. C. Black, set
ting forth the reason why Maj. A. 0.
Bacon should be nominated for Governor
of Georgia.
In Richmond county, the vote of the
mass meeting called for the purpose of se
lecting delegates to the Gubernatorial con
vention stood Bacon 6815, Gordon ICO. It
looks as though a cyclone had struck the
good old county of Richmond.
Dr. Felton’s speech in Atlanta on last
Friday night was a masterly arraignment
of General Gordon’s past political record,
lie showed that no man with General
Gordon’s antecedents should be made
Governor of Georgia.
. The Constitution says that I)r. Felton
Hpnders Gen. Gordon in his speeches. A
man’s public record is public property,
and to discuss it in the light of facts is no
slander. This is an artful dodge of the
Constitution, to create sympathy for the
General, without attempting to reply to
the charges.
The journal of the House of Represen
tatives of 1874, pages 483, 484 and 475,
shows that, on the .question of the pas
sage of the bill “to establish a department
oi Agriculture tor the State of Georgia,”.'
the yeas and nays were called and re
sulted 76
being a tic, the speaker (Hon. A. O. Ba
con) voted yea and the bill was passed.
How is it that the great, truthful and
consistent Constitution charges fraud up
on every convention where Bacon dele
gates have been selected; and where Gor
don delegates arc selected it is a sponta
neous expression of immaculate citizens?
It is only an imaginary straw for which
this over-zealous journal is grasping, with
which to court public prejudice against
Maj. Bacon, and arouse sympathy for their
favorite.!
BACON’S RECORD.
Bacon, of Bibb, for twelve years served
Bibb county in the legislature of Georgia.
During that long term of service no flaw
or blemish can be found in his record.
No man in the State had more to do with
shaping the legislative policy of the State
during that time. His thorough knowl
edge of the legislation of these years fit
him in every way to make Georgia a
most able and brilliant administrator of
the laws'as the Chief Executive. He is
undoubtedly the best equipped man in
the State for Governor. Tie is a brave
and honest leader of the people. In 1879
when in the chair as Speaker of the House
of Representatives, it became his duty to
appoint committees to investigate the
State Departments like the brave and
honest man that he is, he gave place upon
all these important committees, to the very
best men in the IlouSe of Representatives.
There was no white washing done by
these committees, and they performed a
work for the State which in beneficial re
sults will be appreciated for all time. Men
most familiar with the history of that
work, express the opinion openly that
Bacon’s honest, brave hand guided the
actors on the committee and on the floor
of the House to the conclusion which has
resulted so advantageously to the people
of the State; and which laid deep the
foundations for honest and capable ad
ministration of the .affairs of our State
government,.for coming years. Georgia
o wes him a debt of gratitude and she will
pay it this year., The men who quaked
with fear during trying and exciting
days, may well apprehend that the
same honest hand and heart, if placed in
the office of Governor, certainly
lqjdntain the rights of the people at all
hazards, against rings and political syn -
dicates, whether at or near Atlanta, Wall
Street, N. Y., or elsewhere. Bacon has
won his spurs as a civilian, a Statesman ;
and the slander that he proved recreant
to his duty as a soldier in the late war,
lias been so fully exposed that eyen the
Constitution and General Gordon do not
repeat it. Georgia feels the need of all
such of her young men as Bacon, and she
will have business sense enough to place
him at the helm of State. In retiring Gen.
Gordon her people will not forget his
record of glory as a soldier; they will
simply call to the helm a man experienced
and capable and oquipped for the impor
tant trusts devolving upon, the Governor
of this great State. They are not selecting
a soldier to lead them to battle and death.
They want a Governor of their affairs of
State who will saye them from onerous
taxation, and lead them to prosperity in
the paths of peace. Bartow will add her
voice to the call of all true patriots, for
liacoa as our next Governor ! Murk it.

Mr. Cleveland is the second President who
Uis tuuudujiiue, tim
first to take the sacred vows in the White
House. Mr. Tyler was the first Presi
but the ceremony was performed at the
home of the bride in New York. Mr.
Cleveland’s marriage was a very quiet
affair, no show, no-demonstration, and no
cards ot invitation, except a fbw ‘written
notes by the President to a few friends.
Only three or four unmarried young
ladies were on band, and but two unmar
ried gentlemen. The President and bride
came down the steps unaccompanied by
any one—not even the bride’s mother,
Mrs, Folsom being in the parlor with
other guests. As soon as Dr, Sunderland
finished the ceremony, the company par
took pf puncheon, and while thus engaged
the brid3 slipped away to her room,
changed her dress, the President did the
same thing and at 9 o’clock the two
quietly.took a close carriage, were driven
to the depot unattended and a special
train took them to Deer Park, Md., where
they spent a day or two. By 10 o’clock
at night, all the guests had departed, and
the whole affair was over with. A more
quiet and sensible wedding could not
have been arranged.

Augusta Chronicle.
Editoß3 Chronicle— The invitations
with which I have been honored to
address the people on the pending guber
natorial question seem to impose upon
me a duty to respond in some way. I
cannot visit the localities to which I
have been invited, and therefore adopt
this method of briefly giving some of my
views. It must be a matter of regret
to all good citizens that the joint dis
cussion between the candidates who as
pire to the high office very soon became
so personal that their respective repre
sentatives agreed that the unify of the
party and the public good required that
they should be discontinued. But
when w r e come to think about it, if*
it strange? Where gentlemen belong to
the same party, and agree substantially
upon the public questions that must be
determined during the administration of
the office to which they aspire, there is
little, if anything to discuss but them
selves, and this being so, the effort of
each is to make his competitor inferior
to himself, and heuee personal abuse or
detraction, and a inert) wrangle for office
must follow. This must be so until we
curb the disposition to pursue otfice f>r
the emoluments and honor it brings, and
learn that the people have some capacity
to select for themselves their own pub
lic servants. As long as the people
allow it to be understood that no citizen
is to be called into office unless he is
willing and able to conduct a long and
expensive canvass, in which his chief
employment is to be praise of himself
and detraction aud abuse of others, who
aro engaged as himself, the services of
many, very many, worthy and qualified,
who would, if properly called, accept
public station, must be lost to the State,
for they have neither the taste nor
capacity to pursue such methods.-
To elevate the tone of our politics,
signify the methods now too commonly
resorted to inculcate the salutary lesson
that offices arc not created to be dispen
sed as rewards, even for the worthy
but to be conferred and enjoyed for Hie
public good; that they bring not only
emolument and lit nor, but impose the
most sacred trust and the gravest re
sponsibilities, is far more important
than the political preferment of any in
dividual. These high ends so devoutly
to be wished for cannot be attained un
less they are demanded and insisted npon
by the virtuous and intelligent, whose
interests and duty call upon them to
assert and maintain the control of public
affairs. Two prominent citizens aspire
to tl 10 high and responsible office of
Governor of the State, and the people,
who are the original source of all po\Ver,
and to whom all offices belong, are called
upon to choose between them. It be
comes us to wisely and patriotically in
quire what is the business in hand?
what the duty of the hour? For the heat
of partisan passion or false sentiment
we may forget these pertinent and con
trolling questions. The business on
hand is the selection of a Governor, not *
the crowing of a warder. We want a
man to till the Chief Executive office of
the State, not one to lead a gallant corps
“into the jaws of death, into the mouth
of hell.” The duty of the hour is to se
lect that one who is best qualified for
the particular service to be rendered.
The office for Governor demands qual
ifications entirely different from those
that would fit one for other high stations.
Its duties largely, very largely require
that the incumbent should be a man of
business habits aud methods.. We must
guard against the mistake sometimes
made in the church as Well as the State,
that becauso one is tit for or has been
even distinguished in one department
or station, that therefore, he is qualified
for all service. According to the divine
arrangement and order in the church,
“Gt and j.im some in the church; first.,
apostles; Becjudurily, prophets; thirdly,
teachers. After that miracles; then
gifts of healings helps governments, di
versities of tongues. Are all apostles,
are all prophets, are all teachers, are all
workers of miracles? Have all the gift
of heuliug? Do nil speak with tongues?
Do all interpret?” Georgia lias furnish
ed to the Christian world of to-day one
of its most conspicuous figures—-a man
whose career is really phenomenal—and
yet I am sure that neither he nor any of
his friends shall consider mo disrespect

fit him for the office of a bishop or a
theological professor. John Miltou, in
one of his powerful defences of the
people of England, said: “War has
made many great whom peace makes
small,” Let the thoughtful, reflecting
1 people of the Butte consider what office
it is to bo filled and the duties of tint
office and the choice between the two
■Ciinnidates I think must be plain. The
Governor shall be commauder-in-chie
of the army and navy of the State and of
the Militia thereof., Iu case of invasion '
or insurrection the Governor has power
to eall out all volunteer military com
panies or the militia, or both, for the
defence of the State. But these are
not all his duties. They are excep
tional and only required iu case'of emer
gencies that are not likely to come
upon us. For these purposes or the
mere formal and purely ornamental du
ties of a dress parade, as required by the
recent militia display in Savannah, my
choice might be different, but when I
consider the daily practical duties of
this otfice and tho qualifications that are
required for their discharge, I am
forced to the conclusion that one of these
candidates is superior to the other by
nature and training. One of them,
Hon, A. O. Bacon, is familar with the
legislation aud the history of public
affairs for the past twelve or fifteen
years, is a gentleman of ability-—not only
of ability, but adaptability to this par
ticular office; iu short, so worthy and
well equipped that his competitor
publicly and freely acknowledged liis
qualifications. The other was distin
guished in war, for which he has been
highly honored already and still com
mands the grateful respect of all the
people; personally is brave, knightly,
Warm-hearted aud generous. But may
tn>t be asked, without personal disre
spect and with the highest appreciation
of his military services, what are his
qualifications for the office we are now
called on to fill? His pursuits has
been so foreign to the consideration < f
these questions, the study of which
would qualify for the duties of Governor,
and he has been so forgetful of or in
attentive to the public affairs of the
State, that he recently issued a public
invitation to attend his inaugural ou n
day several mouths later than that fixed
by law for this interesting and accessary
ceremony.
Against the one who, in my opinion,
is best qualified for the office, nothing
lias been urged, as far as I have heard,
except the fact that ho resigned tne
adjutancy of a regiment during the war
between the States. Of course this has
been, and will be, tortured aud pervert
ed and exaggerated, aud will l>e made
the most of among the unreflecting and
prejudiced. The facts are not denied,
as far as lam informed, ihat he faith
fully done his duty in the field until
physical inability forced him to resign,
ami then he entered another depart
ment of the service. What is there' iu
these facts to disqualify him for the
office of Governor or reader him un
worthy the respect, confidence and sup
port of the most loyal to every proper
sentiment and memory that we all ought
to cherish and transmit? There were,
departments of the public service in that
period as useful and necessary as mili
tary service in the field. A just judg
ment of any mau’s record must be de
termined pot so much by the station he
tilled it. I honor the obscurest teamster
that did his duty, the nurse in the hospi
tal that perform the last ministrations of
comfort and registered the last message
of love to the absent—every man aud
woman, in any department of the service,
who stood in liis place aud.rendered the
best service lie could. But aiuoug those
who did active servico I would place the
most unfading crown upon the brow of
the private soldier, who endured the
severest hardships, suffered the
greatest privations and fought the
battles and won the victories. At all prop
er times and iu all proper ways, we should
honor the faithful and true of that pe
riod, If it conld be, mark the grave of
every dead by worthy memorial, and
liberally peusion every living soldier.
But this is uot the time to be unwisely
moved* by such a sentiment, however
lofty and worthy. It happens to be
Within my knowledge that in another
State, not many years ago, the people
elected one Governor, became he had
taken his life iu hir, hand and gone into a
district that was stricken with yellow
'fever, but it*was uot long before they
began to think that ore might be the
most noble and self-sacrificing philanthro
pist aud yet uot qualified to lie the Chief
Executive of a great State. Let us not
nniKe a mistake. Not long
long ago I had occasion to call upon one
of the largest merchants in our city,
whose success is the amplest proof of
his business management to solict em
ployment for one who had beeu unfor
tunate in business end lost everything.
In the course of the interview the
merchant calk'd my attention to a gentle
man in the store, of urbane manners and
faultless dress, and said to me I have
employed that man to bow to, aud smile
upon the ladies. Doubtless the mer
chant had been wise in his selection for
that particular service, bn* if Liis judg
ment had been so perverted by the
charming address of the gentlemau
selected to greet the ladies, as to put
him in charge of his books and finance-?
bankruptcy would have been the price
of his folly. The business in hand is the
choice of a Governor, the duty of the
hour is without partisan passion or
prejudice or intemperate sentiment, to
select that candidate who is acknowl
edged by his opponent to he worthy and
who by the fitness of things is better
qualified for office.
I have written hurriedly and under
great pressure, but nothing I hope that
is unjust or unworthy of the com .der
ation of every good citizen. With a
just upprecation of the honor done me
by those who have in different localities
in the State invited me to address them,
aud the hope that the people may wise
ly choose, I am, very respectfully
yeurs, J. C. C. Black.

f HA.T FfriOM THE NATION’S CAPI
TAL BY W J, N.
Last Wednesday a Grand Day tor Wash-'
ingtou City- Cleveland’s Marri
age—The Salvation Army.
Of course we all attended Mr. Cleve
land’s wedding. Only a few tickets were
issued, and the little party that assem
bled in the “Blue room” was limited and
somewhat exclusive; hut the front gates
were open aud the beautiful White House
grounds were free, and the large Democrt
ic throng there assembled were so near
the brfdal party that, (not to be nice about
small points) it might just as well be said
we w r ere at the wedding. It was a well
pleased and good-humored crowd, too, I
do assure you. There was an indiscrim
inate mingling of people. Fine ladies and
shopgirls—guttersnipes and millionaires—
statesmen and street arabs —toddling chil
dren and gray-haired old soldiers. It was
an occasion to impress one thoroughly
with the idea that this is truly the peo
ple’s country. Not many rulers of the
great nations of the world would permit
such freedom and familiarity on the part
of the people. This was a typical Amer
ican wedding, and the crowd was all kind
ly disposed towards their President.
Many were the kind words and good
wishes expressed for the distinguished
pair, and there was not a soul in all that
motley assemblage who did not wish for
them a world of happiness. To the un
experienced eye of a country lad it was a
pseasing sight to look upon, and I am
tempted to tell you something of what I
saw. I went early and took a stand by
one of the marble posts, for I wanted to
see as much as I could. There were
some twenty-five newspaper reporters
crowding about where I stood. I had sup
posed that the leading dailies ol the
country w-uld each manage to have n
representative on the inside, but, as tar as
I could see, they were treated just like
common (?) people, and had to takg their
chances from the outside. These newspa
per reporters are an aggressive and orig
inal set, I assure you, and their papers
came out next morning with every detail
of the wedding reported just as if the
writers were eye witnesses. How did
they get their information? Well, no
matter, they got it. You can’t cheat an
enterprising reporter out of news by shut
ting doors and turning locks on him. Not
by a majority. So they got the particulars
of the President's wedding in spite of in
vitations. The Marine band was station
ed in the rotunda, and at tea minutes after
seven the “wedding march” pealed forth
and filled the house with throbbing and
echoing voices of melody. There is a
rustling of silks, and the wedding party
are filing into the “Blue room.” The
grand fountain on the outside sends up
its sparldiug spray and gurgles laughing
ly into its basin. The setting sun blinks
out from among the tree tops in the west>
and then blusningly hides its face in fleecy
clouds. The South wind ripples among
the trees, and creep in over flower-covered
windows, bearing its offering of freshness
and perfume. The birds twitter in the
ivy vines that clamber up the balusters,
and busily build their nests as if they
were bent on celebrating their nuptials on
the same night with the President. Myri
ads of church bells ring out and mingle
their varied voices in musical commemo
ration of the wonderful event, The boom
of cannons rolls up from the green banks
of the Potomac.
The music ceases. Dr, Sunderland
says a short and simple ceremony. The
President and his fair bride join hands.
Those words, freighted with such grave
and life long consequences, “I will,” are
spoken, and the work is dene.
It was an event to be remembered.
People will date many an occurrence from
the night President Cleveland was mar
ried. The almanacs will hereafter place
opposite tho 2nd of June, “President
Cleveland married.” I have already
heard of more than one couple who
plighted their vows on that evening, so
they might say in the future, “we w r ere
engaged on the night of the wedding in
the White House.” I have also heard of
one bouncing baby boy who can boast
when he gets older that he was born on
the night ol the President’s marriage.
The city of Washington, the whole
United States aud the people of the whole
world unite with heartiness and sincerity
in saying, “Good luck and long life to the
President”—and to the Presidentess too,
for that matter.
The people of the South have beard
quite a deal of talk about the “Salvation
Army,” but very few have any .clear con
ception of what this army is like or of
wliat kind Of soldiers it is composed.
As 1 write this letter I caii hear their
music. On almost every evening for the
past week they fall into line gbout dusk
somewhere on Pennsylvania Avenue,
march down to Sixth Street and then up
near my window. When they get to
Louisiana Avenue tliej’ wheel down and
come to a halt in an open space near the
junction of four streets, where they hold
open air meetings as long as they can
keep a crowd.
They are a strange and rather out-land
ish-looking set. Some of them are white
and some black —some are men and some
are women, and occasionally there will
be seen children with them. • They wear
uniforms and carry tambourines. As
they march they sing and beat their tam
bourines. The boot-blacks and street
gamins gather in crowds and follow at
their heels in great glee. As they passed
up this evening the music and marching
watt led by a woman. She marched a few
paces in front, and would occasionally
turn round and walk backwards, waving
time with her hands, and singing in a
hmd, clem voice that rang out with a pe
culiar and weird sound on the gathering
twilight. After making tlieir circuit tin y
stop in this open square and have devo
tional exorcises. They take it time about
with their exhortations. Sometimes it
will bo ,* womtuPwho speak?, sometiuios a
negr > and. st iuefimos a man in a foreign
tongue. S' §|-
On Sundays I.scoihem mu in a lutek
dra w n LTft ur vvliife Forties/ Aml on these
occasions they have with them a sort of a
band made a fiddle, a liute and a
cornet, with the tambourines thrown in.
They seem to be graded according to some
sort of rack —and there are promotions
according to zeal and efficiency.
I know nothing of how they live or
where they live, where they came from or
where they are going. They are a strange
lot and lead a strange life. I look on them
and wonder what spirit it is that moves
them to work. They pretend to preach
Christ, but it is often a peculiar jargon in
which there is neither system nor sense.
They may. an l perhaps do, reach a class
that would otherwise be neglected, and
amidst all their error there may be an oc
casional seed of truth that finds good
lodgment, and some “poor unfortunate”
may rise up in the great day and call them
blessed. So, far be it from me to ju Ige too
harshly. They live and work where the
tides of sin flow with almost irresistible
force, and where the wrecks on the sea of
lite are as thick as autumn leaves, and if,
among this sea ot sin and death, they can
anchor a soul to Christ, how great shall
be their reward !
Verily, there are strange things in heav*
en and earth, but there is a strong band
that guides and directs the affairs of men,
and these methods that seem to us so
strange and unnatural may be over ruled
to the accomplishment of good. The wild
fanaticism of tbit salvation army may
be God’s “heroic remedy” for some souls
that are sick unto death. W. J. N.

KIDNEY COMPLAINT.
For over six years I have been a terrible
sufferer from a troublesome kidney com
plaint, for the relief of which I have spent
over $240 without benefit; the most noted
so-called remedies Droving failures. The
use of one single bottle of B. B. B. has
been marvelous, giving more relief than
all other treatment combined. It is a
quick cure, while others, if they cure at
all, are in the distant future.
C. H. Roberts, Atlanta Water Works.
Dr. L. A. Guild, of Atlanta who owns &
large nursery and vineyard, has a lad on
his place who was cured of a stubborn
case of Scrofula, with one single bottle of
B. B. B. Write to him about the case.
For Sale.
I will sell to a cash purchaser my house
and lot on Cassvill street at a very low
figure. John T. Owen.
Thos e using the Domestic and Whit
Sewing Machines claim them superior to
all others.
OF INTEREST TO LADIES.
The new treatment' for ladies’ diseases
discovered by Dr. Mary A. Gregg, the
distinguished English Physician and
nurse, which has revolt!tioni/.od the entire
mode of treating these complaints in Eng
land is now being introduced into the U.
S., under a fair and novel plan.
Sufficient of this remedy for one month’s
trial treatment is sent free to every lady
who is suffering from any disease common
to the sex who sends her address and 13
2et. stamps tor expenses, charges, etc.
It is a positive cure for any firm of fe
male disease and the free trial p ickage is
many times sufficient to effect a perma
nent cure. Full directions accompany
the package (which is put up in a plain
wrapper) also price list for tutu re refer
ence. No trial packages will be sent after

IS IT WORTH ANYTHING?
To feel Absolutely protected against Fever
and Ague, Malarial fever, Typhoid fever, Typhus
fever, Gastric fever, Bilious fever, Diphtheria,
Pneumonia, Scarlatina, Summer Complaint,
Blood Poisoning, and all and every form of com
mon disease?
Is it worth anything to be able to effectually
cleanse the blood in your entire system, to renew
your youth, and invigorate all the organs of your
body; to permanently cure Costiveness, Dyspep
sia, Water-brash, and sour stomach? To cure
Jaundice and stoppage of Gall ducts, to cure
Sick-headache and Biliousness, to cure Liver
complaint and Cancerous liver, to cure Kidney
diseases of long standing? To be free from Gout,
Rheumatism, Neuralgia, Sciatica, and kindred
troubles ?
Is it worth anything to enjoy good health, to
have a good appetite, and to sleep well? If all
these things are worth anything, you can secure
them almost for the asking. We know from long
experience that this statement is true, but we
also know that few will accept it as truth. Noth
ing but actual experience in the use of Parsons’
Pills could bring a person to realixe fully their
marvellous j>ower to prevent and cure disease.
Are not you willing to take our word, to run the
risk of being swindled, so to speak, out of 25
cents, for the potsibility of securing such a great
blessing as we know Parsons’ Pills would he to
you? If you should once become acquainted
with these Pills, you would never cease to be
grateful.
Parsons’ Pills were a wonderful discovery, and
there are none others like them in the world.
The information contained In the wrapper
around each box is worth many times the cost of
a box of the Pills. We use the purest drugs to
be found in the known world; but even these, be
fore being used, are subjected to the peculiar
purifying process known only to the chemist’s art.
If families and individuals could only be made to
realize the marvellous power of Parsons' Pills
in the prevention and cure of disease, and in
promoting the general health, a vast amount of
suffering and expense might be prevented.
Our business was established in 1810, and is the
oldest of the kind in this country. Is it, there
fore, likely that we would put forth an untruth
ful or deceptive statement ? Frauds and false
pretenders do not remain long in business in this
couutry. We suppose that Parsons’ Pills may
be found at your nearest store; but if not, we
will send one box by mail, post-paid, for 25 cents
iu stamps. Or we will send two boxes of Pills
and a beautiful engraving of President Cleve
land and bis Cabinet for 50 cents, all post-paid.
The engraving is 24x30, and retails for 50 cents.
We will send free to all who send us their ad
dress a handsome illustrated pamphlet contain
ing information of great value. If you order
mention this paper.
