Upon inquiry' as to whether he was a
candidate for the Legislature, Dr. Felton
yesterday stated to The Courant that,

Thb Eastman Times is terribly dis

“the Gordon gang in Bartow.” The
“gang” was composed of as good demo

this fact alone that they were seated in
the State convention. But, however,
the breech is being fast healed, the two
executive committees will soon probably
fuse, and now if the editor of the Times
will keep hands off all will be well.

Willis Hudson was hanged at Fort
Gaines on Friday for the murder of Ma

mother and sister had attacked Mrs.
Militrons, and were apparently about to
umrder her, when Mr. Millirons went to
the assistance of his wife. Hudson, who
was concealed close by, seeing this, shot
and killed Mr. Millirons, and his mother

GUNS TURNED ON LAREDO.
Mexico Makes a Hostile Demonstration.
Laredo, Aug. 7. —A detachment of
400 Mexican troops arrived in Nuevo
Laredo, Mexico, last night. They are
principally infantry and artillery and
brought two cannon with them. They
have placed the cannon so as to command
Fort Mclntosh on the Texas side of the
Rio Grande, and have been noticed tak
ing observations from their position all
day. Considerable indignation is ex
pressed by Americans at the arrival of
these troops, and this action on the part
of the Mexicans does not augur well for
a peaceful solution of the present diffi
culty.
cutting's sentence.
El Paso, Tex., Aug. 7.—Cutting has
been sentenced to one year’s imprison
ment at hard labor and to pay a tine of
SOOO. The sentence was pronounced on
Cutting this evening. If he cannot Day
the tine he will have to serve 100 days
longer. Medina, who caused all the
trouble, has leave to sue Cutting in a
civil suit tor damages. The question of
censuring American Consul Brigham
and asking for his removal is referred to
tire Supreme Court at Chihuahua. Cut
ting will probably be hurried oft' to pris
on at Chihuahua to-night.
TIIR DANGER OF A CONFLICT.
Paris, Aug. 7.—The Mexican Minis
ter here mts sent a communication to
the papeifc, in which he says that a con
flict will not arise between Mexico and
the United States in connection with the
Cutting affair. He concludes with a
statement that Mexico is perfectly tran
quil.
St. Louis, August B.—A dispatch from
Rio Grande City, Texas, says a heavy
force of Mexican revolutionists crossed
the river into Texas Thursday night. A
troop of the Eighth United States caval
ry was ordered yesterdav from Ringgold
barrack to pursue and disarm them.
NO SIGNB OF WAR.
Washington, August 10.—It is stated
at the war and navy departments to-day
that while the lighting branches of the
government are in their customary con
dition of readiness for action, offensive
or defensive, the present difficulties witfc
Mexico are as yet the exclusive concern
of the diplomatic branch, and that i*>
movements of troops or vessels have y*t
been ordered with a view to a possible
war.
At the state department it is said that
there is nothing new which it would be
proper to make public at present, but
that there is still no reason to doubt the
amicable adjustment of the Cutting
affair. It is unofficially learned that the
correspondence now in progress is ex
pected to bring about definite results in
a few days and that the direct objects
sought to be accomplished by this gov
ernment are first the release of Cutting,
and second a renunciation of the claim
by Mexico of extra territorial jurisdic
tion.

FARMERS IH COUNCIL.
THE GEORGIA AGRICULTURAL CON
VENTION CONVENES IN CARTERS
VILLE.
A Full Delegation on Hand.
Whenever the people of Cartersville
undertake anything success invariably
crowns their efforts. The meeting of
the agricultural convention has been no
exception to the rule.
Monday afternoon the delegates began
to arrive. Immediately upon arrival
they were taken charge of by competent
committees who escorted them to the
opera house where they were assigned
homes during their presence here. Ihe
bulk of the delegates arrived 1 uesday
morning just in time to take part m the
proceeding* of the convention. Cai
tersville sustains her reputation for hos
pitality and her praise is on everv dele
crate’s lips. They are elated at the cor
dial reception given them, and the peo
ple of the town are happy and proud of
their record. The convention is com
posed of as fine a body of men as can be
found in the whole universe. I heir de
liberations were presided over with a
great deal of dignity and decorum.
Hon. L. F. Livingston, president of the
association, called the convention to
order at 10 o’clock a. m. After the
blessing of Almighty God had been in
voked by the Rev. F. M. Daniel, of Grit
fin Mr. T. Warren Akin extended to the
convention the freedom and hospitality
of our Mountain City together with the
“chickens of a thousand roosts. ms
address was happily received.
Dr. Win. If. Felton then, in behalf of
the county of Bartow, extended the gat
ings of the county, and welcomed the
convention to our midst. In an address
of half an hour he was frequently ap
plauded, and his sound views and well
timed compliments to the agricultural
interests and people of Georgia and all
the land, were well received on the
part of the convention. Col. M. o-
Hatcher was very happy and his allusion
to large-hearted Tom Lyon eyoked con
siderable laughter. . .
Dr. P. 11. Mell, of the State University,
Prest. Newman, of the Alabama Agri
cultural Association. Dr. Jones, of the
Georgia University, Col. Thos. C. How
ard of Atlanta, and members of the
Agricultural Clubs of Bartow, were then
invited to seats on the tloor and partici
pation in the action of the convention.
President Livingston, in making his
annual address, presented many things
of interest to and affecting the prosperity
of the state. His observation showed that
there was unrest in the state, not only
among farmers, but among men in all
professions and callings in the state.
Among farmers be pointed out the prop
er means by whioh this dissatisfaction
and unrest might be overcome; by edu
cation —not education in schools and
colleges alone, but education at home,
education by the fireside, behind the
plow, at the anvil, and in every depart
ment of labor, and education to under
stand the broad acres on wffiich we are
raised. ,
Labor, he said, dignifies the man who
follows it. The men who control the
state and fill places of trust are the men
who were not too lazy to work, and here
he spared not the dude. Another cause
of this dissatisfaction was the labor sys
tem. lie deprecated labor strikers and
thought that farmers should elect men to
office who know and will protect the in
terests of the farmer.
■ Extravagance was another source of
evlland the raising of farmers’ wives and
daughters to dress, and of the farmers to
live beyond their means was to be look<*l
after. Stop extravagance and you lift
the mortgages resting on your lands.
, Discriminations were another cause.
All classes protect themselves except the
faimer, and the time has come for the
farmer to protect himself. Humanity
can’t stand oppression. Let the farmers
.of Georgia send men to the Legislature
who will aid and look after their In
, terests.
He recommended the appointment of
*exeeu ive committees to look after the
State Agricultural CoromisSicn; to look
after the Agricultural College at Athens;
, to look after the school of Technology
and to adopt some method or methods of
preventing the washing of land ; a com
mittee to look after the labor question ;
a committee to look after the State Fair.
An invitation was extended by the
superintendent of the Western & Atlantic
railroad to visit the ore banks located in
this county and accepted by the conven
tion.
The roll call was then perfected, when
the convention adjournad to meet at two
and a half p. in.
afternoon session.
The regular order of business was de
clared in order when the convention as
sembled in the afternoon. Dr. A.
Oemler was then called for and responded
in a quite scientific discourse upon
“Fertility of Soil and Fertilizing.”
f Gen. Win. Phillips eloquently dis
cussed the question, Does fanning pay in
Georgia? If not, why not ?
NIGHT SESSION.
Bill Arp pleased the audience with
what he knew about farming.
’’bill arp’s” speech.
Farmers and friends we greet you; Carters
ville gives you welcome; Bartow county waves
her bonnet and says all bail!
We are proud to greet the representatives of
honest toil and sweat and patriotism; the mud
sills of our best society; the friends of law and
order.
J ust a century ago there was a society formed
in New York whose mission was to preserve the ■
liberty that had been won to cherish patriotism,
industry aud friendship, and to establish the
new government among the nations of the earth.
Washington was its first President and Jeffer
son and Adams and Franklin and Hamilton and
the Pinkneys and LaFayette were among its
members. It was christened “The Society of the
Cincinnati,” and its succession was honored and
invigorated by such names as *Vebstcr and Clay
and Jackson and John Foreythe.
This society had its branches in each of the
thirteen states, but one by one these branches
were dissolved until there were but live left.
Georgia was the last of tie lost number and be
queathod her fuuds to the Parent society in 1824.
But Georgia has still the elements of that
m her midst, and they are here to-day. It is no
romance to say" that the Agricultural Society of
the state embodies all the cardinal virtues that
are requisite to secure her people in the blessings
of life, liberty aud the pursuit of happiness.
Then we welcome yon as the Society of the Ciu
cinuati.
Who was Ciueinuatxis? He was a farmer. He
was a Roman consul—a man of great learning
and great integrity. His n..me was Lucius
Qutntius, bat from profusion of cyrly hair
he was sir named Cinoinuatas, the Latiu word
Cmcinnus, meaning curled or twisted. His
name must not be confounded with that of the
great Porkopolis of Ohio, for tradition says that
the name of that city was originally spelled with
two S’s instead of two C’a, and as tlie word ‘natus 1
means a birth, the full meaning of the name was
“born to sin and sin again” as the sparks fly
upward. Their modern pork merchants deny.
this and assert with honorable pride that thoir
city took its name from the carls and twists in
the tails of their swine.
I have never seen Mr. Cleveland’s Secretary
of Interior, the honorable aud honored Lucius
Quiutius Cineinnatus Lamar, but his wealth of
waving hair clearly shows the origin of his
name.
The historian tells us that Cineinnatus became
disgusted with the corruptions and intrigues of
office-seekers and he resigned and retired to a
little farm and livett a frugal aud secluded life.
II larai 1 1 in lan area of four jugura, that is four
acres or four times as much land as an ox team
could plow in a day. This would seem a very
email farm, but the old gentleman had no nig
gers or mules to feed, no fine clothes to buy, no
SODS to go to college, no girls to visit the springs
with their big packing-truuks full of clothes.
It is very different now, lor this is a progressive
age and we must conform so as to keep in hail
ing distance of respectability. It takes more
jugura now and more stock—stock of all kmc s.
In fact our most successful farmers have to have
railroad stock or bank stock so that i he dividends
may supplement the losses on the laim. If a
farmer has no such stock, then he has but one
remedy left and that is to work hard and live
hard and never buy anything that he is oblige*
to have. ,
It so happened that the Romans got into trouble
with their enemies, and their impetuous consu
marched forth to meet them and got entrappe*
and surrounded in the Alban hills and couldn
get out. The people were in great consternation
and as a last resort sent out in the country for
Cincißnatus E* come m and save tbe country.
The old man was plowing an ox team, and had
on nothing but his panrs and a tunic or over
shirt. He would not go to the fence and meet
the deputies in that oondition, but called his
wife to bring him his toga. He was a true pa
triot for lie weut to the city with the deputies
and took command and closed all the store* ant
saloons and conscripted every man that could
light and every boy who carried a pistol in his
pocket, and then marched forth by night am
surrounded the enemy and made an awful noise
beating drums and tin pans and blowing horns,
and he attacked them hand to hand and routed
them and took them all prisoners, lie got back
to Rome in 24 hours from the time he left and
then discharged his army without any writ of
habeas corpus. He made a bow of thanks and
went straight home to his wife and farm and was
plowing or pulling fodder the next day just as
though nothing had happened. That is the kind
of a man was. Twenty-four years
after this when he was 80 years old the Romans
got into trouble again and sent for him, and he
came and surnressed a terrible sedition and put
the leader to death and restored peace aril tran
quility in 21 days, and then returned to his farm
and, I suppose, lived until he died.
110w r striking is the parallel. During the late
war our farmers left the plow and hurried to tlio
defence of their country, and when the war was
over they laid aside the sword and took hold of
the plow again. I see before me ir. any honora
ble examples. If they were not called to lead
they were eager to follow. If they did not re
turn victorious they did what they could.
Tis true that some few have left the field and
followed office, but I reckon they were called to
that. In fact I know they w ere, for ever and
anon I see their cards in the papers saying: “In
response to the urgent solicitations of numerous
friends, I have consented, etc., etc.
Sometimes >riien a patriot is suddenly called
from his jugura where he was peacefully plow
ing his bull, he never returns, and is kept fight
ing the enemies of the republic. Gov. Brown is
a notable example. For years after he was
called he led the Democratic cohorts against the
old line Whigs who under the lead of Toombs
and Stephens and Beullill and Jo nkins were
trying to surround the state and capture it. Old
Joe whipped them but they would’nt stay
w hipped, and so he had to keep on fighting. For
thirty years he has been divorced from his jugura
and I’m afraid will never be allowed to put the
jugum on his oxen again. He has been gone so
long that he has forgotten the difference bctw'een
a bull-tongue and a twister.
Cineinnatus waited to be called, but some of
our farmer politicians are more eager to save the
country, and say to the people: “Call me and
I’ll come, and if you don’t call me soon I’ll come
anyhow.” They are faithful to the trust and
w illing to die in the last ditch. I never see one
of them but what I think of Casabianca,
Gentlemen of the convention, there are Knights
of Honor and Knights of Pythias and Knights of
Labor and Knights of Jericho and Knights of the
Golden Cross and Knights of .'>alamanca, but you
are the Knights of the order of Cineinnatus. You
do not plow oxen nor wear your integuments
outside, but your calling is the same, and your
patriotism is equal to the emergency. You do
not wear your hair in ambrosial curls, in fact
some of us do not wear it at all, for we have
worn it off in pastoral and domestic service, but
doubtless Cineinnatus got rid of his in early life
and that may account for his retirement.
Bartow county has a peculiar claim to the
honor which your presence gives her. She is the
ranking county in the state in the value of her
lands per acre as returned by the owners. She
is tle ranking county in the number of bushels
of wheat made. She is the richest in mineral
wealth. She raises her own corn and bacon.
She i> an enough to cat, such as it is, and it is good
enough what there is of it. She will feed you
well, if you do not stay too long, but you will
have to take it dry so unless you have brought
your wet rations with you. Added to this she
boasts a galaxy of notable and distinguished cit
izens. There is Sam Jones of a national reputation
and Dr. Felton who still standeth on the watch
tower, and Gen. Young, who is hobnobbing with
the Russian bear, and Mattie Lee Price of mag
netic fame. Andjjust to show what she could do
when pressed Bartow has produced the only
genuine reliable and original Tobe Jackson that
is in the world. But these are not all by any
means, and if I did not fear to shock the retiring
modesty of two other gentlemen who are present
1 would mention among our notables, Col. Tom
Lyon and—myself.
Gentlemen we give you welcome.
Mr. Carmichael, of Coweta, consumed
his ten minutes allowed, with random
remarks and some law on contracts, and
had to be rapped down by the chair.
Some discussion wes had on the subject
of hill side ditching, many questions
being propounded and answered.
An “unknown pea” was highly recom
mended by those familiar with it. It is
grown in Hancock county.
Adjournment.
YVKDXESDAY’s PROCEEDINGS.
The morning session was opened by an
address, sound in views and sentiments
by S. H. Bassett, Esq., of Fort Valley,
Ga., on the question of labor and capitol.
The main argument of the discourse
being against the importation of foreign
cheap labor.
At the time of going to press (Wednes
day noon) it was expected the conven
tion would adjourn last night; the time
being taken up in speech-making and
election of new" officers.
EXCURSION THIS MORNING .
Governor Brown has placed at the
disposal of the convention three coaches,
and the body will excurt to the ore
banks at Ironville this morning, the train
starting at 8 o’clock.
NOTES.
Col. Capers got in to view the conven
tion.
Bartow county is a county of won
ders.
Maj. Livingston makes a most excel
lent presiding officer.
The absence of the usual gubernatorial
candidates was noticeable.
Col. John O. Waddell, of Polk, moves
around among the yeomanry as if he
was at home.
“Bill Arp’s” speech was greatly en
joyed and he received maDy congratula
tions when he retired.
Every Cartersvillian appointed
himself a committee of one to see that
the delegates had a good time.
To the down-country folks, our moun
tain scenery is a treat. Our beautiful
landscapes are gresjt contrasts to the level
wire-grass regions.
A great many of the delegates ex
pressed a wish to see our Sam Jones and
some expressed disappointment in not
viewing Tobe Jackson.
The old reliable St. James, though
crowded, was equal to the occasion. The
heavy drafts on its hospitality were
promptly met by Dr. McFerrin.
The reception committee were untir
ing in their efforts to see that all the
delegates were properly cared for and it
was through their efforts that great good
was accomplish'd. They did their woik
handsomely and deserve praise.
Our farmers came in town in force
Tuisday, to carry delegates home with
them. There was no trouble in finding
good homes for all.
State Treasurer “Bob” Hardeman is in
attendance upon the convention, and is
very popular with the body. His name
is prominently spoken of in connection
with the presidency (f the association.
Mr. John Triplett, the bachelor editor
of the Thomasville Times, is smiling on
the convention as well as our girls, Ar.
Triplett conducts one of the best weeklies
in the state and Thomasville’s success is
largely due to his efforts.
Capt. Tom Lyon is happy and is being
given a full limit to enjoy himselt. lie
knows ail the boys and is very popular
with them. His lecture on “ragweed as
a stock provender” was overlooked. Ihe
Captain speaks from experience and
what he says on the subject will be
highly interesting.
Mr. S. D. Brad well, of Ilinesville, the
editor of two newspapers, principal of a
flourishing school, vice-president of the
Agricultural Convention, called on The
Courant. Notwithstanding the raul
plicity of his duties, he says he has time
to go a’fishing occasionally. He is what
you might call alive Georgia newspaper
man.
Capt. Robert E. Park, of Macon, is
here. He talks Jersey cattle and tine
stock generally. We knew the clever
Captain in the long ago when lie was
principal of the LaGrange High School,
and all we have to sav is if he makes as
good a tanner as he < H a teacher he is a
powerful good one. When we think of
the Captain we think of the fellow that
got off’the joke about “snaring the rod
and spoiling the child.” That’s the
reason we say he was a good school
teacher. The Captain is one of the fore
most men in our state, one who will
always be popular and esteemed, and one
who it is well to know. •

MR. TILDEN’S WILL.
He Provides for His Kin and for Several
Public Beneficiaries.
New York, August 9.— The will of
Samuel J. Tilden was read at Greystone
this afternoon by James C. Carter, of
this city, in the presence of all the rela
tives except those in the West. Besides
the family there were present the Hon.
John Bigelow, Andrew 11. Green and
Mr. Tilden’s private secretary, Geo. W.
Smith. Hon. John Bigelow, Andrew
11. Green and Geo. w. Smith are named
as executors and trustees. All of Mr.
Tilden’s kindred are generously pro
vided for in this way :
Tiie whole estate is placed in the hands
of the executors as trustees. Each heir
is to receive an equal share in the line
of his or her consanguinity. That is,
nephews and neices equal amounts, and
their children certain amounts; but
they are to receive only the income de
rived from an equal separate specific
sum, the principal at their death to be
disposed of in a manner which is not
made public. None of his relatives ex
cept Mrs. Mary B. Pelton, his sister, are
given any specific bequest forever. To
her he bequeaths the residence, No. 38
West Thirty-eighth street, and the sum
of SIOO,OOO to live upon. All of his real
estate, except this, is placed in his exec
utors’ hands, to be disposed of as they
see fit, either by sale, rental or exchange.
Greystone and Gramerey Park property
falling under the same rule.
The executors are first charged with
the duty of setting apart for his relatives
sums named for them, from which the
several incomeg are thus to be derived.
This done, it becomes the duty of the
executors and trustees to carry out his
wishes regarding certain public bene
ficiaries ; they are charged with the duty
first, of establishing a free library in his
native village, New Labanon, also in
Yonkers, and if in the discretion of trus
tees, they choose to establish a free
library in this city, they may do so, and
if not, they are at liberty to use the funds
that the free library would cost in the
promotion of any charitable or educa
tional cause. A great deal is left to the
discretion of the trustees.
In general terms the relatives are
handsomely taken care of by the receipt
of specific incomes, which consume an
amount not to exceed one-third of his
estate. All the rest and residue is devo
ted to public good, and the trustees are
charged with the responsible duty of
choosing such methods as shall prove of
the greatest good to the public In the
disposition of this property.
The estate is estimated at $5,000,000.

“A BOWLI) SOGER BOY.”
One of the Macon Volunteers anti Ilis
Ability as a Drummer.
SAMUEL DUNLAP, OF ATLANTA, GA.
The excellent picture we present at the head
of this column, is of a man who is as well and
favorably known in his capacity as a traveling
man or “drummer” as auy one man in the
United States.
Mr. Dunlap said in conversation recently:
“About four years ago I had a severe attack of
rheumatism, which completely disabled me for
a time, and which developed into what is com
monly called ‘chronic,’ attacking me when
least expected, and laying me up entirely; in
capacitating me for any kind of business, and
causing me as much suffering in a day as should
be crowded in a life time. After one of my most
severe attacks, and when I had just got able to
hobble around, I met J. M. Hunnicutt, an old
friend, and he said he could make a remedy
that would cure me, and, by gracious, he did. I
took two bottles of his stuff, piepared from
roots and herbs, and I have never had a twinge
of rheumatism since. The medicine was not
prepared for sale at that time, but was manu
factured bv Mr. Hunnicutt for bis friends.
About six months ago it was determined to
place it upon the market, and a firm was organ
ize* 1 for that purpose. Two "weeks ago, in the
midst of my suffering, I noted in one of their
advertisements that it was good for kidney
troubles also. I knew it "would cure rheuma
tism, and I bought a half a dozen bottles at once
and determined to give it a fair show at a kidney
disease of long standing. It may seem extrava
gant, but the lirst day’s use gave me relief, and
before I had completed taking one bottle my
disagreeable symptons had entirely disap
peared. I have used two bottles up to this

The discovery of a very rich vein of
gold ore in Warren county is creatiug
quite a sensation in that section, and
farmers are beginning to hold their lands
at fabulous prices. The land on which
the rich ore is being found is the Metho
dist camp ground. The ore is very rich,
and $2,400 has been realized on one ton.
If the vein extends any distance, and the
miners have struck an extended vein and
not a pocket, a big bonanza is in store for
the lucky owners of the proptrty.

The Formula Is Good.
Rknfroe, Ala., —Having for nine
years been in the drug business and
knowing the formula for Curry’s Liver
Compound, I consider it one of the best
of all preparations as a family medicine,
in all cases of the derangement of the
liver and the disease incident thereto.
Especially can I recommend it for that
distressing complaint, sick headache, for
which it aeks properly in sufficient dose
it is a perfect panacea, and while largely
mitigating the headache at once removes
the intense nausea incident thereto. I
cannot do without it in my family.
