And now Dr. Felton is to be blamed
for Maj. Bacon’s defeat 1 There never
was a more unjust accusation.
# *
*
“Who killed Cock Robin?” From
the throats of hundreds of Baconites
the mean reply comes, “Dr. Felton.”
*
* *
It is openly asserted by some of Maj.
Bacon’s supporters that his defeat is
being effected by too much “plain talk.”
*
Clements has carried Dade and Cobb;
Judge Fain, Gordon, Catoosa and Whit
field, Maj. Blance Polk and Haralson.
The convention meets here next Thurs
day.
* *
*
The attempt to mako the people of
Bartow county believe the present cam
paign is an issue between Dr. Felton and
the Constitution has fallen flat—exceed
ingly f-l-a-t.
* *

The Calhoun Times learns that the
Oothcaloga valley will make enough
wheat to supply half of Gordon county.
It says the valley never fails if the
wheat is put in the ground.
*

Scientific gentlemen now tell us that
a porson struck by lightning never
knows it. As lor our part we hardly
care to find out and will take it for
granted that the scientific gentlemen are
eminently right.
* * *
President Cleveland put his veto
on thirty pension bills in one day last
week. This Is pretty good work for one
day considering the fact that he has a
fond and attractive young wife to look
after at the same time.
Isn’t it amusing to those who kept
up with the campaign of 1878 to see
“Citizen” wearing a wool hat and trying
to ride on Dr. Felton’s coat tails to the
legislature? Compared to this perfor
mance a monkey show is nowhere.
*
# *
Dr. Felton’s services in the present
campaign have never been appreciated
by the Bacon men so far as we can learn.
He gets no thanks, but to the contrary is
assailed and abused by them. Such in
gratitude is without a parallel in the an
nals of American politics.
* *
*
A great many people in Bartow coun
ty would like to know where all this
brotherly love towards Dr. Felton that
flows through the columns of the
American emanates from. They can
hardly understand it. “Consistency,
thou art a jewel”—a four-cornered
regular daisy.
* * *
It comes with very poor grace indeed
for Maj. Bacon’s friends to abuse. Dr.
Felton. It will always be claimed by
Maj. Bacon’s friends that his defeat was
caused by our distinguished fellow
citizen. Such ingratitude is without a
parallel. Who has done more bard work
in this campaign than Dr. Felton ?
* *

In New York the other afternoon, a
drunken policeman fired two shots into a
crowd of children, because they were
guying him. The brute was aimply rep
rimanded and transferred to another
beat for his valor. He will now practice
on the baby carriages and their occupants
that passes his way.
* * *
Last night at twelve o’clock Atlanta
went dry, at least the saloons of the town
were closed. Saturday night several
thousand workmen will go home to their
miserable families sober for the first time
in years. The jingling of the coin in
their pockets will play a delicious solo
with the exultations and happy joys of
their wives and children.
* * *
Saturday’s figiit virtually settled
the campaign. Forty-four delegates
were selected for Gordon, while Maj.
Bacon got four. In Whitfield county
last week Dr. Felton made an able speech
for Major Bacoii, but it went for General
Gordon. Maj. Bacon’s friends are now
mean enough to say that Dr. Felton’s
speech did the work. Such ingratitude!
* *
*
It is said there is more money locked
up in Atlanta awaiting investment than
was ever known before. Good securities
are grabbed up eagerly. It is hinted
that the capitalists of the city are await
ing the decline of property, which they
say will be caused by prohibition, and at
the proper time will buy up whole blocks
at their own figures. We do not believe
Atlanta possesses such heartless sharks.
* # *
In 1878 one of the bitterest enemies to
the independent cause and one who did
more to beat Dr. Felton, and one who
gloated more ovor his defeat, was the
Cartersvillian who wrote over the signa
ture of “Citizen.” Dr. Felton was
never more shamefully abused than by
this writer. This same man now is en
deavoring to soft soap the friends of Dr.
Felton into the support of Maj. Bacon.
Our Heart Coes Out and We are Sad
Lict every clay-root Democrat come out and
help down the Atlanta Constitution. —From the
American of this week.
Dear (Jonsli : Your fate is sealed. Our
clever neighbor over the way has “cut”
you. You cannot possibly surviye the
shock. With the loss of such an emi
nent journal from your exchange list
your doom is sealed. Our heart goes out
to you in your distress. Sad, sad, sad,
that such an enterprising and promising
journal as the Constitution should thus be
unceremoniously cut ofi in the heyday
of its glory. Itequiescat in pace.

An Outrage on Dr. Felton.
The Bacon managers are making a
desperate effort to array the friends of
Dr. Felton against Gen. Gordon by pro
claiming that it is personal issue between
Dr. Felton and Gordon’s supporters.
Our esteemed contemporary, the Ameri
can, fairly flames this week in trying to
force this issue. The people will not be
deluded by this. They have more intelli
gence than the Bacon managers credit
them with. They know Dr. Felton
is not a caudidate for governor. He has
repeatedly said so and our people believe
him. We frankly say if Dr. Felton be
comes a candidate for the nomination and
wishes to have this county send
FELTON DELEGATES TO THE CONVENTION
We will not oppose the movement. If
any opposition were made to such a
movement we believe it would come
from rampant Bacon managers.
But why is the American so suddenly
Dr. Felton’s vehement advocate? We
do not remember reading much praise of
Dr. Felton in that paper until it began
advocating Bacon. Is it because our
neighbor, and the Bacon managers,
think they can use Dr. Felton’s name to
hoodwink the people into voting for Ba
con, that some former political and per
sonal enemies of Dr. Felton are lately ,
with the zeal of new converts, exhaust
ing the list of exhuberant adjectives and
draining the American's font of heavy
capitals, in sudden encomiums on Dr.
Felton ?
THEY CARE NOTHING FOR DR. FELTON.
They are Bacon men —first, last, all
the time. They have the right so to be.
But, it is not fair for Bacon’s managers
to try to use Dr. Felton to help them by
raising a false issue. They know that
many of Dr. Felton’s friends are sup
porters of Gen. Gordon. They know
that The Courant has never used its
columns to abuse or denounce Dr. Fel
ton. Can the American say as much ?
Let us
LOOK AT SOME STUNNING
Facts: Bacon’s friends invited Dr.
Felton to canvass the state. He has
done so with zeal and ability. Bacon
proved in this race, as in all his other
gubernatorial campaigns, to be a weak
candidate. He is already practically de
feated. Before his defeat his organs and
his friends praised Dr. Felton to the
skies. They applauded his speeches and
were loud in their approvals. As soon
as Bacon’s defeat stares them in the
face, the Bacon papers begin to
ABUSE DR. FELTON
And attribute Bacon’s defeat to him.
We deal in facts. We can give only
samples. It would take all our columns
to repeat the ungrateful abuse of Bacon’s
organs.
The Dahlonega Signal a red-hot Ba
con paper, says, in speaking of Dr. Fel
ton and Gov. Smith:
“In our judgment both these fossils
should be laid away on the shelf among
the geological specimens.”
This is nice! Just because Bacon is
being defeated Dr. Felton is called “a
fossil,” and this red-hot Bacon organ
wants him “laid away on the shelf.”
The Dawson Journal, another rabid
advocate of Bacon, speaking of Dr. Fel
ton, says:
“Some of the republicans and independents
are again indulging in the delightful but de
lusive hope of managing the politics of Georgia.
This kind of spell comes on them every few
years and they seem to enjoy the harmless delu
sion connected with it.”
This paper classes the republicans and
independents together, and in this in
sinuating paragraph, insults every
friend of Dr. Felton.
The Savannah News, which, in a
quiet way, is slyly working in the inter
est of Maj. Bacon, writhes over Bacon’s
continued defeats, and relieves its cha
grin by the following:
‘•The q uestion which presents itself, therefore,
in this matter, is this: Is Dr. Felton entitled to
a hearing in the present contest for the guberna
torial nomination, as a Democrat?”
Here it is: Felton’s democracy is Im
pugned and his right to bo heard as a
democrat is questioned! It goes fur
ther and asks why Bacon does not “re
buke” Dr. Felton, and says:
“The men who compose the rank and file of
the democratic party, and who can always be
depended npon to stand by its principles are,
doubtless, wondering why Major Bacon con
tinues to permit Dr. Felton to be his leading ad
vocate on the stump.”
Other specimens could be glyen but
these show the general drift. Outside
this immediate section the Bacon papers
fairly howl against Dr. Felton, especially
since Saturday’s work. History rarely
records such shameless
INGRATITUDE IN POLITICS,
They besought Dr. Felton to help them.
He did so, ably and zealously. Their
candidate is too weak for even Dr. Felton
to save him; and then, the Baoon organs
and managers turn on Felton, and gnash
their teeth, and vent their spleen by
abusing him. We repeat, the Baoon
managers
CARE NOTHING FOR DU. FELTON.
They are trying to use his name to boost
up a waning cause in this county, be
cause It is Felton’s home; while in other
counties, that have already acted, they
abuse instead of praise.
And yet the American this week be
comes a sudden lover of Dr. Felton and
wants Bartow to send Bacon delegates to
the convention, to vindicate Dr. Felton!
God save the mark! Do Bacon’s mana
gers imagine that Dr. Felton’s friends
will believe this amusing nonsense ?
Does the American think Dr. Felton
needs vindication ? We repudiate the in
sinuation. The people of Bartow know
that Dr. Felton’s name and character are
not in issue, that he asks no vindication
in this race, is not a candidate, and needs
no new-born praise from the American.
The American has in two consecutive
issues, raised issue with The Coueant,
naming us. We regret very much the
necessity of naming the American in re
ply. It is forced on us. We are in a
pertect good humor, and write this in all
kindness to every one, the gentlemanly
editor of the American included. We be
lieve that as a rule the
BACON MEN ARE HONORABLE
gentlemen. We believe the same thing
of the Gordon men. The editorial com
municator of the American says “all
the Gordon men affect to believe”
&c., and adds, “they know better.”
This is a direct insinuation that “aff Gor
don men” are acting a hypocritical part in
this campaign. Surely they deserve no
such a* use as this.
LET US HAVE rEACK.
We have no abuse for anybody. We do
believe that a few of the Bacon politicians
are trying to deceive the friends of Dr.
Felton in order to help Bacon. But we
think the people as a mast 1 , take no stock
in this, and have more sense than to be
fooled with a false issue in big capitals.
We feel more interest in the crops than
in politics. It makes no difference how
Bartow goes. The race will be decided
before our convention acts. But we do
hope we will have a quiet, peaceful
convention, and above all, we trust that
Providence will smile on our crops.
What’s the Matter?
The American is terribly distressed
over the way Bartow will go. It seems
obe fearfully uneasy. It pleadings are
heartrending. Hear it:
Let the people come prepared to hear brass
bands, to see Confederate battle flags—and fight
the old war over again. Don’t get disgusted
and leave before yon get an opportunity to put
in your ballots. Long winded speeches, parlia
mentary tactics, 'confusion, bluster, blow and
noise may we4i disgust you. It has done so in the
past. Let it not do so again.
There has been no speaking announced
but one from Dr. Felton. Will it be dis
gusting? We do not believe it will. He
has been very disgusting to some of Maj.
Bacon’s supporters before. Do they now
tell us that the Doctor’s speech will be
disgusting next Wednesday? Gen. Gor
don’s friends will go prepared to hear
the Doctor, but they want to be allowed
the privilege of voting for their favorite
without being “mashed.”
The New York brokers have begun
an * organized war on the bucket shops,
and it is believed that these dead-falls
will be driven out of business. It is
chafgod that prominent officials in the
telegraph companies are interested in a
concern known as the “Big Four,” that
has its headquarters on lower Broadway
and is said to control 300 bucket shops In
New York and other cities. They em
ploy forty operators, and it is charged
that they obtain their quotations by collu
sion with the interested telegraph offi
cials. It is alleged that a “general
news” ticker has been put in use by one
of the companies, which is simply an
arrangement for furnishing stock quo
tations to the shops, in violation of the
contract with the exchanges. The quo
tations as sent out are furnished the
companies by the Stock Exchange’s own
reporters, and it is said that the Govern
ing Committee have evidence that this
news is stolen and a regular business
made of selling it to outside parties.
LEGISLATION FOR LABOR.
Knights Send Letters to Democratic
Leaders.
Washington, June 25.—The commit
tee of the Knights of Labor, appointed
at the meeting of the General Assembly
held at Cleveland, 0., have sent a long
letter to Speaker Carlisle, copies of
which have also been sent to Rep
resentatives Randall and Morrison. The
letter says:
At a special session of the General
Assembly of the Knights of Labor held
at Cleveland, 0., May 25 to June 4,
1886, a committee of three, consisting
of Ralph Beaumont, James Campbell
and John J. Macartney were appointed
to visit the capitol during the present
session of Congress for the purpose of
asking that body to pass laws to carry
out the principles, a body of which we
enclose to you. The committee have
selected a few measures and embodied
them in a memorial looking to that end,
and have sent out several thousand to
their different branches throughout the
country for signatures and indorsements
from the people, and we expect to he
able in a few days to present your body
these petitions with the indorsements ot
at least 500,000 signatures. The follow
ing is a brief summary of the petitions:
They ask the passage of, First, House
bill No. 7867 repealing the timber cul
ture, pre-emption, and desert land acts;
second, House bill No. 7021 for the ad
justment of railroad and other land
grants; third, bills forfeiting all railroad
land grants the conditions of which have
not strictly been complied with; tourth,
the House bill organizing the Territory
of Oklahoma; fifth, the Senate bill open
ing a portion of the great Sioux reserva
tion to settlement; sixtt), the bill pro
hibiting aliens from holding lands in the
United States; seventh, the Dill making
Presidential and Congressional election
days holidays and punishing bribery;
eighth, the bill directing the disburse
ment of at least $200,000,000 of tho Treas
ury surplus and substituting Treasury
notes for bank notes retired. The party
of which you are a member is in the
majority by some 40 votes, and we,
therefore, look to the majority party to
enact the necessary legislation to make
these measures part of the law of the
land.
promised IN THE PLATFORM.
In making these requests we feel that
we are not enunciating any new doc
trines, but on the contrary, we find the
ground work of nearly every one of them
laid down in the Democratic platform
adopted at Chicago in 1884 on which the
present majority of the dominant party
was elected. We find that paragraph 3
of our memorial is fully covered by that
document, as follows:
We believe that public lands ought, as
far as possible, to be kept as homesteads
for actual settlers; that all unearned
lands heretofore improvidently granted
to railroad corporations by the action of
the Republican party should be restored
to the public domain, and that no more
grants of lands shall be made to corpora
tions or be allowed to fall into the own
ership of alien absentees.
We also find that the last paragraph in
our memorial ought to meet with your
hearty approval from the following
which we oopy from the Chicago plat
form :
“That a change Is necessary la proved
by an existing surplus of more than
$100,000,000 which has yearly been col
lected from a suffering people.”
Therefore, again we say In requesting
the passage of these measures we are not
asking anything from the dominant par
ty only to fulfill promises that it made
to the people when it was seeking its
present majority. We are informed that
at a caucus of members of the dominant
party in the House, held on Tuesday
evening, Juue 24, you were appointed
one of the committee of three, whose
duty it is to shape the legislation that is
to come before the House during the
baiauce of this session. Hence, we
present to you this letter conveying to
you the desires of our constituencies.
We do not ask your party to support
them. We only look to you and your
party to see that the measures are
brought forward and submitted to the
House for its action, and we are willing
to trust them to the good judgment of
the members, regardless of party. We
remain, yours respectfully.
Ralph Beaumont, Chairman.
John McCartney, Secretary.

FLORIDA LETTER.
Fort Mayson, Orange Cos, Fla.,
June 28, 1886.—Four years residence in
this America’s only Italy, almost entitles
one to the knowledge and freedom of a
native. In reviewing the intervening
space between this and the date of my
arrival, I am almost persuaded that no
state in the union can cope with Florida
in the progress of improvements. The
orange industry alone has grown to en
vied proportions, the peculiar adaptabil
ity of the soil to the orange, and all other
semi-tropical fruits, brought to the sur
face, speculators. Capitalists opened their
fat parses, cleared thousands of acres and
set them with trees. This great inter
prise invited labor and thousands found
ready employment and a substantial liv
ing. The present exports from this
source is about one million boxes.
The State realizing and appreciating
her attractive resources, began early in
encouraging railroad facilities. And by
active measures, wide welcomes, ami
liberal donations, she is to-day under
as convenient transportation discipline
as many of the New England States, and
only a few years hence Florida’s rail
roads will, in the aggregate sum up a
greater number of miles titan any section
equal in size to be found.
No where outside of our chief cities
can be seen such a number and variety
of hotels. The weary traveler, the limping
rheumatic or the ambitious speculator,
can readily find ease and comfort suited
to his own individual fancy. Jackson
ville, the metropolitan city has more and
finer hotels than any city of its size ic.
the world. St. Augustine, twenty six
miles east on the Atlantic Coast, is also a
great resort and when the magnificient
“San Maroo” is completed it will be the
largest, be9t equipped hotel south of Bal
timore.
In the southern part of the state con
siderable attention is being paid to sugar
cane growing, several refineries running
on full time, and producing a much bet
ter grade of sugar than the popular Lou
isiana article. The lands best suited to
this branch of agriculture, is the reclaim
ed sawgrass bottoms, the soil being a deep
deposit of decayed humus. The day is
not far distant when South Florida will
be headquarters on sugar exportations.
To begin to numerate half the great
movements in successful operation would
consume more time, more paper, and
more patience (on your part) than is ad
visable to offer and to ask. F. B. C.
RARE GRATITUDE.
The Story of Two Friends in Need Who
Shared Each Other’s Fortunes.
San Francisco correspondence Sacramenta Bee. j
A double house was moved away from
Powell street, near North Beacti, this
week, about which an old-tiuier told me
a true and interesting story, rare because
an iilustr&tiou of that rarest quality in
humanity—sincere and disinterested
gratitude. Two young men from New
York State, who had been to school to
gether, came to San Francisco early in
the “fifties.” I will call them Black and
Gray, good enough names for the pur
pose of the story. Black went to the
mines, and Gray remained in the city,
and with a small sum Atted out a little
store. He prospered, married, had
children. Then came a big reverse. He
found himself in a tight place, from
which nothing but $15,000 would extri
cate him. He went among his friends
to raise the money, but they had none
to give him. And then, as he turned a
street corner sharply, he ran into Black’s
arms. He told him his trouble, and
gave him all his history during the ten
years they had been separated.
“I have the money,” gaid Black;
“but $15,000 just sizes my pile. I am
tired of mining, and hope! to settle
down here and get iuto some business,
but you can have It, my dear fellow,
and I’ll take a whack at pick and rocker
again.”
Gray took the money, and Black re
turned to the mountains, in the course
of that year the merchant made a lucky
turn and sent the miner his money with
ample interest. Then they ceased to
correspond, and the last the merchant
heard of his friend he, too, was about to
marry and move into anew mining dis
trict.
Five years afterwards the miner and
his family returned to San Francisco.
Black was dead broke. Everything
had gone wrong with him. nis min
ing speculations had failed; the mines
he had discovered petered out; the men
he had trusted deceived him, and he had
fifty dollars remaining of a once ample
fortune. He hunted up his friend
Gray, who was, of.course, delighted to see
him. “And I don’t see anything for me
to do, old man,” said the despondent
miner, “except to got a job shoveling
sand, if you can help me to one.”
“I haye just moved into a handsome
house on Powell street,” said Black,
“and I want you to oomc and dine with
me to-morrow evening. It is a double
house, finished about a week ago.”
The miner was on time with his shab
bily dressed wife and little one.
“ You did well sticking to the town,”
he remarked to his old schoolfellow.
“Here you are way up as a merchant,
living in a fine house all your own, and
having a bank account as long as my arm,
I suppose.” Before dinner they visited
the adjoining house, which was furnished
in precisely the same style as the mer
chant’s dwelling. Then they sat down,
chatted over old times until the lateness
of the hour warned the miner and his
wife that it was time to retun) to their
lodging house.
“All right, my boy/’ said Gray, “but
just step next door, there is something I
wish to show you which I neglected on
our first visit.” When they entered the
hall Black halted. “Here,’’ he said, “that
looks kind of like my trunk.”
“Nonsense,” said Gray, “come up
stairs to this bed room.”
“Why said the miner, looking about
him, “confound yon, you have moved all
my traps up here from that lodging
house.”
“Aye, have I, my friend,” shouted the
other, slapping him on the shoulder.
“Where should a man keep his things
but in ltis own house, and in what part
of the house better than his own bed
room?” Black was bewildered, and be
gun to have doubts of his friend’s sanity,
and when his friend thruat a deed of this
very house into his hand, and followed
it with a deed of copartnership in his
business, be broke down sod cried like a
child.
“And now we are moving away this
old house, sir, to another quarter,” said
the narrator of this remarkable tale of
gratitude aud friendship, “but I would
not take a hundred thousand dollars for
it.” It was Black himself who told me
the story, now a most successful mer
chant, whose name is good on ’change
for close upon half a million.
