Ilamember the old maxim—“ The darkest hour is just before day.” ‘Tull down your vests*’ and tuck up the hang-down part of your lips, brethren. Times will soon be better, and you will be all O. K. It took God six days to complete His work, but some of the third partyites seem to think that they could have finished it and flooded the country with cash, ease and prosperity in thirty minutes at least. The Philadelphia Press makes an earnest appeal for the people of the storm stricken district along the South Atlantic. In times; ot trouble there is no North, no South, but one grand free masonry of American citizenship—Griffin News. As usual, the country is full ot chronic growlers and kickers. For the Lord’s sake, and for your sake, quit this and get a ‘‘move on you,” wear eut more shoes and fewer breeches, drink less red liquor, read The Argus and pay for it, be kind to your neighbors, wife and child ren, and you will come out all right, Ben Terrell, the national lecturer of the farmers alliance, in a speech the other day, used the following language: “The alliance is not a partisan organization, and has no more con nection with the people’s party than it has with the democratic or repub lican parties. The farmers alliance is an educator. Some have thought that the people’s party and the alliance are one, but it is not so. The alliance seeks to educate its people in economic science, and we must educate or perish. The alli ance has no object in building up any party.'” How we wish Uncle Ben. could attend one meeting of the Butts county alliance! He “would fold his tent (like the Arab,) and as silentlv steal away.” Cleveland has announced him self in lavor ot the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on state banks. Now, with the order from the government to coin all the gold and silver bul lion in the mint, which will in crease the circulating medium about a hundred million dollars, and the reorganizing of the banks so as to allow state banks to issue currency, for which the government stands good, we will have more money than “Carter had oats,” and the cry of hard times will cease as the acts of the democratic meas ures begin to effect the objects of their designs. So mote it be. And may the “hard times’* now on the lips of every man, woman and child cease in this God-favored country and be turned to thanks ot the ben eficiaries to the beneficient hand of the Great Spirit, whose instrument was the dear old democratic parly, which stands forever on the undy ing and universal brotherh'iod of man—“ Equal rights to all, special privileges to none. v A WAR STORY. (by a butts county boi.diEli.) CHAPTER IV. [ went with the boy and delivered the book to Miss Liza, but I never told her of the trouble I was in I returned to camps just in time to find that I was left again, but as the train was a little late I reached the station in time, where we boaided the train and went in the direction of Richmond. At that time the battle ot Seven Pines was being fought, and my old company I) of the Bth Georgia was engaged in the battle, and of course I was anxious to hear from them, We went down on the train to H junction, there we left the train and marched in the direction of the enemy, not knowing at what moment we would be in regular battle, It was through mud and water that we had to march, and as I did not have to keep in ranks I stepped out on the side of the road to ebuc the mud, when the captain hollered at me not to run. I had no notion of run ning, and in a few minutes some one shot ofl a gun near the road and the captain took to the woods. We did not arrive at Seven Pines until the battle was over, so we ’went into camps on the Rhaphannock river, the yankees on one side and the rebels on the other. We were so clooe together that we could hear their band playing “Yankee Doo die, and our hand would play •'Dixie.” Our picket lines were about half a mile apart, the yankee line at the north side of the swamp and the rebel line at the edge of the swamp on the south side. Our orders were to shoot any one hat w r e saw in the swamp. One day I was in command of the picket line, and some of the boys saw a yankee slipping through the swamp and called to me to know whether to shoot him or not. As he was so far I did not think we could hit him, so I concluded I would see if I coul! not slip some myself. So with gun in hand I got down on my knees and crawled through the swamp until 1 was within two hundred yards of him when I took fair aim, as I thought, but I was a little nervous and missed him. I got behind a tree and e did he. I waited a short time and poked my head out to see if I could get a glimpse of him, but he was too quick for me and saw me first and sent a ball that came near getting me. We exchanged a few shots in this way at each oth era’ head, when at last I took the adyantage of him while he was re loading his gun to get to another tree where I could see him and took good aim at him. and at the crack of my gun he fell. I don’t know whether I killed him or not. but he lay there until late in the eyenig and then his friends came and carried him away. We remained in camps for some time, and every day we could see from one to a dozen balloons up in the air, where they could see all over our camps. At last we received orders to be ready to move at a minute’s warn ing. When we started to leave camps we went in the direction of Richmond, leaving the enemy in the rear, but we soon turned down the riyer and crossed over and at tacked the enemy. We were in a regular battle lor the first time. The firing was kept up until a late hour that night; but we had been too much for them, and by the next morning they had retreated. We were soon in line and in pursuit ot them. During the next morning I was sent out with a detail of twenty men on a scout. We found twenty five yanks guarding a wagon train, but as we took them by surprise they did not offer to fight, so we took them as prisoners. The wag ons were filled with provisions, and in one wagon I tound a fane navy pistol and kept it for my own use. When we got back to our command the major offered me forty dollars tor it, but it seemed that I was im pressed not to part with it, and it is well that I did not. I had it on my belt and that evening we overtook the yankees, who were in line of battle, and while we weie charging a battery a grape-shot struck the cylinder of the pistol and mashed it as flat as a flounder. Just at this time oil! command had to retreat and they left me lying on the ground, but after going some fifty yards the captain and ot.e of n y friends came back and louk me up and carried m j out of danger. I was sent back to our old eamns, where we had left some of our men sick and some to wait on the sick This was the second day of the seven days’ fight aroui and Richmond. I remained there until the seyen days’ fight was over, and those who had not been left on the battlefield returned to the camps; hut there were many of our good and brave men wt o were left never to return, although the yictory was ours. The federal army bad gone hack to to the Potomac, finding the road to Richmond a hard one to travel, but it had cost the rebels thousands of brave men to check them. We are in camps near Richmond.

A few of the survivors of the I4th and 45th Georgia regiments held a reunion at Indian Spring on Satur day, August 26th. Cap!. W. F. Smith was made temporary chair man, and in some fitting remarks an nounced the object of the meeting. Short “ addresses were made by Messrs. C. S. Maddox, 11. C. Thax ton, Captain Lane and others Dinner was then announced, and all was invited to partake of a bounteous spjeau under the broad spreading giant oaks. At 2 o’clock the body was permanently organized by elect ing C. S. Maddox president, Capt. Lane vice-president and 11. C. Thax ton secretary. Resolutions weie pas ed enrolling both the 14th and 45th regiments, they having served through tlie war in the same brigade, into one body and committees were appointed on securing rolls of the original companies, etc. The audi ence was then addressed by Rev. Jesse Mays and Rev. Crowder Mays to the delight of all. The next meeting will he held in In dian Springs on the 4th Wednesday in August, 1894. CAMPMEETING NOTES. Sunday’s attedance is estimated at 5,000. The meeting closes next Friday morning. We are proud to state that a bet ter behaved crowd than la-t Sunday’s, never assembled anywhere. Despite the hard times, about SBOO was raised at the labernaele Sunday. All of the restaurants and refresh-, ment stands report a good business. Campmeoting “comes but once a year; let everybody have their share.” Bro. Culpepper seems to “pepper” the liuni Monster as lively as ever. Sunda\ evening Mrs. Parker, ot Macon, made a most touching appeal to the congregation in behalf of tem perance. Rev. Culpepper’s discourse Sunday night, on the “Converted Barroom,” was very interesting. Charlie Tillman’s music is unex celled. It is one of the chief attrac tions of the meeting. The tabernacle is one of the best structures of the kind m the State, and the citizens of Butts should appre ciate it. The sermon to the colored people Sunday afternoon, at 2 o’clock, was real interesting, and they seemed to appreciate it very much. Rev. Robt. Kilgore, of Kentucky, related a most pathetic experience Sunday morning, explaining how Christianity had elvevated him from the whiskey and gambling den to the pulpit. His experience is indeed re markable, and he knows exactly bow to picture sin in all its phases. Quite a number of ministers are assisting in the services, and much good is likely to result ere the meet ing closes. HE CANNOT LIE. Editor Argus: —Not long since I stopped at Castleberry’s store, at Cabaniss, Ga., and while there a terrible looking cloud arose and it began to lightning, rain, hail and blow to such an extent as to drive the clerk and his customeia inside the store. Its fury increased until it was necessary to securely bar the doors and windows. My attention was attracted to an old, dried up gentleman, about the size of a keg of soft-boiled soap, sitting over in a corner, as “quiet as a lamb.” After the storm had subsided he reached far down into his trousers and drew there from a big twist of “chawing” material, placed a good-sized quid between his “grinders,” tapped me on the shoulder and introduced his subject thus: “Foung man, this reminds me of a cyclone that struck my premises, away over in South Carolina, a few years ago.” “How is that, sir?’” “Web, sir, among a good deal of its other devilment and capers, it struck ray wash-pot and turned it wrong side out— blowed the legs on the inside, and then struck my well and twisted it so crooned that you couldn’t begin t© let a bucket down in it. 1 was plowing iu my field at the time —was using one of these here big sweeps, and lightniug struck the plow stock, and I noticed it as it ran down on the sweep, and it turned it red hot. Yes, it did! And as soon as I saw it was red hot, of course, I turned it loose and ran off about fifty yards, and then a clap of thunder struck it aud sharpened that sweep as sharp as the best blacksmith in this country could have sharpened it if he was going t© be bung. Stranger, these are facts!” “I don't doubt it, sir; there is notbiug impossible with a cyclone. “No, there ain’t! And I'll tell yon another thing: The sun shines a heap hotter over in that country than it does here. Why, I'll tell you what's a fact. One day 1 was picking cotton and noticed a boll of cotton smoking under my foot, and I picked it up and ‘lit’’ my pipe with it—just supposed some of the boys had set it afire, you know; but presently 1 happened to straighten up t > rest my back a little, and I saw' bolls smoking all over the field. I hollered to the boys to follow me, and we ran to the house, faster than ‘Nancy Hanks’ going down grade, to get water to pul it out and before we could get back, I’ll ‘swsr,’ it had completely burned up the whole twenty-five accre field, and that’s the reasou I’m m Georgia to-day. What’s the use for a man to work hard all the year and then have hi truck destroyed in any such a manner? Sranger, have a ‘chaw terbaccer’ with me.” Uxo. ADMINISTRATOR’S SALE. GEORGIA—-Butts County.
