THE ARGUS. *• J. lIAR.VIO* A: J. G. nDO> tLD, Editor* and I’ublislter*. k.nterea at tht Poslofi ct at Jackson as second class mail matter. PUBLISHED EVERY THURSDAY. Vacltftoti. <>a., April 2, 1894. FLOVILLA. On Friday night last we attended the musical at Flovilla High school. Miss Jones, the efficient music teacher at that place, was the projector and soul of the whole affair. To say the entertainment reflected groat credit upon that scholarly lady is puttingit in its mildest form. “I Am Seventeen Today,” by Miss Car lie Smith, was good. “Lovely Woman,” by Percival Elder, was a good hit. “The Masked Ball,” by Misses Bessie Hanell, Willie Maddux, and Lucie Minter, and Messrs. Stith Myrick, Frank Thaxton, and Gus Thompson, was rendered in stj le simply grand, especially did Miss Willie Maddux exceed. “The Sweetest Story ever Told,” Vocal Solo by Miss Zada Dozier, charmed the entire audi dience by her clear mellodious voice. “What Will You Take for Me Papa,” by sweet little Inez Minter, stirred the emo tions of every one present. The little things are priceless. We may never see little Inez again, but we can never forget her. Miss Glover can make Aunt Dinah ashamed to cook shorten bread. “The Handsome Girl in a Crowded Car,” by Miss Laura Smith was well rendered. “The Night on Shiloh,” by Miss Zada Dozier, who is a first class elocutionist, could not have been better rendered, “Elsie’s Child,” by Miss Lucile Elder, was well rendered. Miss Lucile Minter gave us a splenpid recitation. Misses Bawls, White, Gardner, Peel, and Jones gave us a handsome treat in music, and the whole affair wound up with a “Fancy Dress Drill,” in which there were several girls whose dresses fit to perfection, aud several boys whose pants —well we heard a lady in the audience say she could fiit pants better than that herself. The drill was a grand success as well as the entertainment. We were cared for by that prince of gentlemen, C. R. Thompson, at the residences of Mr. Cher ry, and Mrs. Williams. Those Flovilla people are the very essence of Southern hospitality and chivalry. “THE PLEASURE SEEKERS.” On Saturday, the 21st of April, “The Pleasure Seekers” met at the home of Mrs. Spencer, three miles and a half from Jackson. The independent order meets by regular appointment every two weeks with the object to spend as pleasant a day as possible, and to eat as much as they comfortably can, This last meeting, the object was more than accomplished. Mrs. Spencer and her oliarming daughters entertained in that royal manner chax-isteric of a Spen cer. and this time we thought surely the goddess of abundant harvest had herself prepared the table and ladeued it with every conoeivable tempting viand. A more delightful day could not have been spent. Those present were: Mesdames M. A. MeKibhen, J. M. Hooten, J. 11. McCallum, E. E. Pound, J. TANARUS, Harris, Jim McKibben, Y. A. Wright, Charlie Thornton, Jane Carson, W. Newton, “Pat Putterson,” Wood ward, and Fletcher. The Dixie Interstate Fair, which opens in Macon, Ga., Oct. 23rd, 1894, promises to be one of the best and most extensive expositions ever at tempted in the state The manage ment is iu the hands of the Macon Exposition company, with a capital stock SIOO,OOO. The purses offeied for the races will bring the best horses in the South, os the program calls for SIOOOO distributed over a seyen-day me ting, aud will be conducted on a liberal sc tie, calculated to di aw at tention to the resources of the South. The City of Macon will enlarge aud improve the splendid buildings at Central City Park. lu these buddings alone 8600 square feet of space will be available, all the exhibits being under one roof. Arrangements are being made to secure the very best attrac tions, which will be annouced later. The industrial features will be a nov elty. A 200 foot building is reserved tor manufacturing of Southern prod- ucts aud large premiums will be of fered for the best article made on the grounds. The Dixie Interstate Fail will be epeu for eighteen days. All information can be secured by ad dressing the secretary, J. It. Kennedy at Macon, Ga. From the Rome Tribune. Editor Tribune: There appeared on your editorial page yesterday the following inquir> : “How does it come about that nearly every man in the last legislature is an Atkinson man?” This editorial inquiry is top ped off by you with the insinuating remark that “as a fixer Mr. Atkin sou’s equal has never appeared in Georgia polities. Asa member of the last legislature, and as the friend of Mr. Atkinson, I think I can easily tell you why most of the members of the last legislature are supporting him for ge\ernor —be* cause they know him to be worthy of the honor and well quad tied for the office. Because his record a9 a legis lator and his conduct as a speaker of the house were such as to commend him to the favorable consideration of bis colleagues. Because he was a fair, impartial and able presiding officer, and showed himself a man of excel lent executive ability. Because be is well equipped, fearless, aggressive democrat, ready at all times to serve his party and bear the brunt of 1 its battles. W. J. Neel. GEN. EVANS RECORD. From the MsconTelegraph. 1. The vote to allow banks lo sus pend specie payment w hen there was no panic, was a slap in the face of the business interest of the state. He wan cither ignorant of the consequences resulting from a suspension, or utter ly indifferent to the outcome thereof. Which horn will he take. 2. He voted to abolish the hwi against usury. What is usury? Us ui y is a certain gain or profit over and above a lawful - interest which a man makes of his money by loans. It is against the law and is bmden'ome upon the horrotver. Among Israel iies iu aucient times, as now, it was not done, being considered unlawful, illegitimate, wrong, because it was the taking the advantage of another. 3. He voted to pardon a red-hand ed criminal who murdered in cold blood an officer, whose only offense was try ing to collect it debt. 4. He voted toaboiish trial by jury hut suggested no other. He voted to repeal all laws al lowing the state to appropriate money for educational purposes. 6. He voted against allowing Con federate privates to choose their own officers. This one vote, if all the others are condoned, should seal his fate, as I believe it will. Now, Mr. Editor, few, comparative ly of the many readers of your paper have had a larger amount of ehseiva tion ofpolitical matters than m\ self; and I can say in very truth that I have never known a candidate whose record was more vulnerable. I have known weak ones; but here is a career on which so much inexperience, want of knowledge or lack of information, is exhibited, that there is reason, ueces sarily, to suspect the efficiency of any law he aided iu passing. In my busi ness. if a bungling or incomprtent person, by accident, gets uh a difficult piece of work, every other of his fel lows wonder how he did it. General Evans showed his utter im ompetency in every one of his political or legis lative acts. When he voted against jury trials and the appropriation of funds for educational purposes, it is probable that his ambition to ascend higher in the political scale had been aroused. Consequently he was unas sailed by fears of future results. But, alas, for the good old general. In the course cf time he tell into the hands of men who desired to mould him to their own use, and ho became as patty iu their hands. These men, no doubt, constitute a largo part of the one hun dred counties and the one hundred newspapers that have called him to oppose the man from Coweta. The latest effort of the general’s, and w hich, like the “boomerang,” will cause a wail of sorrow among his sup porters, is his attack upon the judici ary. This charge may call for further explanations. Some times it becomes a problem as to the manner of expla nation, aud advice of the right kind is needed. I would advise the general before he goes on his uext trip, to listen more attentively to his advisers, and then advise himself a little as to how far he should go, so that he would not have to explain so often. But I leave him here. James H. Smith. TEACHING. “Stan’ out dar, Jefferson Boregard Johnson, an’ des lerome put you thew de gee haws ob de mustificatiou table.
