There is no good reason for postpon
ing the s lection of delegates for the
gubernatorial candidates in this county.
W e should hold a primary not later
than the 15 It inst., and settle this mat
ter. There are always extremists in
everything and the democratic party has
no business engendering strife in select
ing our candidates. While the most of j
lus differ in a friendly way, there are
j some who actually get half mad about
I the matter. While speaking on this
subjoct we would suggest that the man
receiving the plurality of votes for each
office be declared the nominee, for the
reason that in every contest there
is danger in offending power, and also
i that in the seieotion of candidates no one
should be allowed to vote bur deznoerate.
DECLINES WITH THANKS.
Editors Arcus:— l noticed in the last
issue of your paper a complimentary no
tice signed by “many voters” that I
- :■! become a candidate for represen
'.ire of Butts county in the next gen
-embly. Of course, I appreciate
*’ 1 cessions of esteem highly, but I
er the present circumstances I
<_>j>eetfully du line for the follow
"reasons:
e people have once honored me
it the position.
y legal obligations to my clients
' it almost impossible for me to
my attention to the office.
My health is such that I do not
;c it prudent to attempt the race.
4. There are other good, true and
honest men wlTo will serye the interest
of the county ably and conscientiously.
I feel that it is the duty of all true and
loyal citizens to accede to the demands
of the people, but I hope the above rea
sons given will satisfy my friends. That
while I appreciate the confidence, yet
prefer at this time not to be in the race
for representative. While I would serye
the people in any judiciary capacity, but
do not want any political office. I think
we need a man to represent us in the
next general assembly -Who will repre
sent the people as a whole, regardless
of personal interests, oliques, or rings.
One who is candid honest and intelli
gent. One who understands the neces
sities of the people, and has the firm
ness and manhood to carry out the voice
of the whole people.
Thanking my friends and you for past
favors, I am.
Respectfully,
M. V. McKibbkn.
THAT RAILROAD.
Pursuant to a call by Mr. W. F. Smith?
who is in some way connected with the
Floyilla & Indian Spring railroad, a
mass meeting of the citizens of Jackson
was held at the court house on Tuesday
night of this week for the purpose of as
certaining whether or not Jackson is
willing to giye him the right to build a
track from the depot up to the public
square in this city, for the purpose of
running a dummy line to and from Jock
son to the Indian Spring via. the East
Tennessee road, until next year, when
another line of road will be built to con
nect with the Indian Spring road at the
old print>ng office, near the holiness
camp ground, thus giving our town
•through connection with Florida and
Indian Spring. The meeting was organ
ized by electing Judge Pound chairman
and Mr. J. R. Carmichael secretary.
Mr. Smith briefly stated the object of
tbo meeting as set forth above,and after
o remarks by the citizens it was de
’ t give Mr. Smith the privilege of
* ing his line from the depot to the
. ay route that might be the most
' to him, and a motion was
r, I carried to appoint two citizens
■ ■"h ward to work in conjunction
- council in endeavoring to secure
aeut of property holders along
i of route selected. It i: most
ble that the i*oute selected will be
i : -1 street, as it will require less grad
o > come that way, aud will be nerer
the residence portion of the eity. Mr.
Smith says he intends to have the line
completed sometime this month, and it
is his desire to give the citizens of Jack
sou a round trip fare to Indian Spring
of only 30 cents. This venture will add
materially to the interests of Jackson,
aud our ctizens should extend every fa
vor to Mr. Smith that will tend to help
him in his enterprise. Hurrah for the
Jackson and Indian Spring Railroad.
IMPROVE THE TOWN.
A man with one thousand dollars
worth of property in Jackson could put
one hundred dollars in a line to Indian
Spring and one bundled dollars in a
yarn factory. And then what ? Well,
his thousand dollar property would,
under the improved condition of things
be worth two thousand dollars, and he
would have an interest in a railroad and
factory that would always stand at par.
He would make a thousand dollars clear
by the operation. Why don’t we do
this? Echo answers why ?
BUTTS COUNTY DEMOCRATC EX
ECUTIVE COMMITTEE.
Members of the Democratic Executive
Committee of Butts county will meet at

NOTICE.
The stockholders of the Jackson Oil
Mill Company will meet at the court house
at Jackson on Tuesday, June sth, st ten
o’clock in the forenoon, to receive the re
port of last season’s business, and to elect
a board of directors for the next ensuing
year. A full attendence is requested.
elo-4t Meade Hendrick, Pres.
Mr. J. R. Williams and family, of Lo
cust Grove, passed through Jackson this
week enroute for Indian Spring. They
slopped longenjugh to get some bar
t the New York Store. Knowing
AI V Liams business ability, we ven
? ask his opinion of Jackson. In
, I e said: “Jackson has grown
. idly of lare years, and to make
s progress a certainty and one
ii and boom on without cessation,
ild build a cotton factory. It is
a oi.liter of time when every enter
, community will have its factory.
I he nature of things every cotton
c .1 y must have its cotton factory.
This talk about skilled labor is all bosh.
You couldn’t get the corner stone laid
before you would have applicants for
every position who could fill them prop
erly. Dummies, oil mill* and tomato
factories are good enough in their place,
but the essential ard only prerequisite
to become a leading town and saved from
dull seasons, is to build a cotton fac
tory.*’

General Evans will speak at the court
house Saturday, the 12th inst., at two

hear the General. He is one of the few
generals of the lost eause who is left to
tell the tale. We should also remember
that we are to hear a candidate for the
nomination of governor, and if he should
be nominated he would be our next gov
ernor. Even the strongest Atkinson
men have an abiding faith in General
Evans.

Jackson has a good name abroad.
We overheard two drummers conversing
on the train some time ago and during
the course of conversation one of them
remarked that Jackson was one of the
best towns of its size in the state soci
ally, morally and from a business point
of view. When such remarks as these
remarks are current among the
traveling fraternity, is it any wonder
that our town continues to grow?
We have opened a real estate
agency at this office, and if you
have any land to rent or houses

any kind, we will advertise it for

name need not be known to any
one. Bring along your property
and we will treat you right about
it. Harmon & McDonald.
We call attention to the announce
ment in this issue of Mr. J. A. McMi
chael. “Reet” is too well known in
this county to need any commendation
from us. He was born and raised here,
and since he was twenty-one years old
he has been an ardent and enthnsiastic
advocate of democratic principles. He
is one of the true blue and our people
should not be slow to acknowledge his
fidelity and life service to his native
county. Remember we are selecting a
candidate, and not a representative, and
that man who is a aound democrat and
well qualified to lead should be the
candidate. Mr. McMicbael has given a
great deal of thought to the needs of the
people, and being one of the people
knows their needs. His known honesty
and integrity commend him as a most
worthy aspirant to the people of Butts
for the office of Representative.

The Pike County Journal says in a
leading editorial;
“We want leaders who are in sympa
thy with us. Let us go to the west and
south for our presidential material.
Then if we win a victory it will amount
to something. If we go down in defeat
it will be for worthy principles, believ
ing this we suggest the name of Adlai
E. Stevenson of the west for president
and Charles F. Crisp of the south for
vice president. They represent the liv
ing principles of southern and western
democracy. Victory without these prin
ciples is a cipher, with them it is the
glorious culmination of our fondest
hopes and the beginning of an era of
honest, impartial government.”
We second the nomination, and at the
same time remember with regret, that
that noble old man whose powerful abil
ity for good is now being hampered and
choked down by wall street influence.
God help the United States to vindicate
the wrong now being done to Mr.
Stephenson.

The Georgia State Sunday School As
sociation will bold its Twenty-first an
nual Convention at Atlanty, Ga., Tues
day, Wednesday, and Thursday, May
29th, 30th, and 31st, 1894, the opening
session being held at 7:30 o’clock on the
29th.
The Convention will meet in the First
Methodist church, located at the junct
ion of Peachtree and Pryor streets.
The Constitution of the Assembly says:
“An Assembly shall be composed of
one delegate from every three hundred
members of Sunday Schools composing
the county association and the counties
where no association exists, two dele
gates for every representative to which
the county is entitled in the general as
sembly of the state. In counties where
no association exists the delegates will
be appointed by the snperintendant and
secretary of the district in which the
counties are located. The officers of the
association, including all the district
superintendents and secretaries, will be
expected to attend as members of the
Convention.”
From the above clause of the constitu
tion it will be seen that the counties are
expected to act intelligently, and send
as many delegates as they are entitled
to and no more. Let Butts do her part.
Last week we stated that the Star
Store had broke the record by sending
their buyer to New York twice in one
season. It is true they are the only
house that have eyer done suoh a thing
in Jackson, but it was done laat year by \
the same firm, and ibis is the secend
time this season that Mr. Daughtry has
been compelled to go forth and select
new goods for the constantly increasing
patronage the Star Store is now enjoy
ing. They have an immense trad# and
it requires constant purchases of large
stocks to keep their store up to its pres
ent high standard of excellence. They
appreciate your patronage and show it
by handling only the best of goods at
living prices.

, Men who have bargains for the people
are just as sure to advertise those bar
gains as a man is to tell his friends
“good morning” when he is a candidate.
The thing is perfectly natural. A man
can’t keep from telling a good thing
that he knows, and a merchant cannot
keep from advertising his bargains, if
he knows he has them. Watch the ad
vertisements. They represent the lead
ing concerns of every town.
