will haye no cause to grumble at the

our readers run upon a paragraph in
favor of one of the candidates and the
next paragraph favors the other, they
need not be surprised for wo have sim
p’y agreed to disagree.
Bob Whitfield made the first speech in
the congressional race here on the 30th

aud started a waye that will culminate
tm August Ist in the selection of Whit
field delegates in this county. If we
were inclined to support the idea of the
administration, we would be in favor of
returning Mr. Cabaniss, for he certainly’
voted with the eastern democrats, and
deserves a second term if our people
think that every member from Georgia
including our gallant Crisp was wroDg
aud Cabaniss right, we do not think so,
nor do other peoble think so. Then the
race seems to be the remainder of the
district against Macon, and she has had
the office for 20 years.

Mk. Editors —As I have had many

reference to the siabli-hment of a city

reply to these inquiries that I am
strongly opposed to the establishment
of a city or a count)’ court in our
county. We are doing well without
either, and why impose a court of this
kind on our people, when it is plainly
demonstrated that we have no use for
it. No, Mr. Editors, if I favored a
city court I could have passed a bill
while in the last legislature to estab
lish it in our county. I was then op
posed to it and have bad no reason
to change my mind I, for one, think
I be fewer courts we have the better

kindness in the past, I am truly, etc

J. MATT MoMICHAEL
Is the nominee of the Populisms for
representative. On Thursday, the sth,
about fifty-one white men and four
teen negroes met in the court house
and after selecting delegates to the
senatorial and congressional conven
tions, (we noticed they selected all
white delegates,) they preceded to
nominate a candidate to lepresou-
Butts. There was a committee which
was composed of mixed colors ap
pointed to name a man. The comr
mittee nominated the lion. Wilsqu
Smith, but the house refused to adopt
the committee’s nun and going ipto
balloting selected Mr. Matt McMi
cliaei, who is a good man and it is u
forlunale that he has forsaken ths old
ship to drown in the temporary sea
of populism.
All the white men in the meeting
looked very gentlemanly and conduc
ted themselves in a way to court ap
proval by all good citizens. The ne
groes seemed to us to look rather
black and we thought once we smelt
something. We can’t see what on
earth our populist friends expect to
gain by amalgamating in their-politf*
cal meetings, with the ebony hued
sons of Ham.
They never make out their ticket
until the day of election, until they
have heard both ends, smelt each side
and tasted '.lie consequences. The
negro is hard to fool and you can’t
fool h ; m by letting him go into the
jury room and help nominate a man
and then you refuse to take the man
he wanted.
Messrs. McMichael, McCandiess and
Dr. Mays made talks during the pio
cedtire. McCaudless showed that two
political parties was a necessity. Dr.
Mays noticed the small crowd present
and apologized, stating that it had not
been published in the Argus and that
the Headlight had published it only
once. Considering the very limited
numbei of populists in our county, we
think the doctor’s excuse was satisfac
tory to all the democrats present, and
90 far a9 we are concerned wo are
perfectly willing to excuse the whole
business.

CARD FROM S. H. MAYS.
Editobs OF Tub Argus:— The old
alliance warehouse was sold last fall
with the understanding that the
whole matter was to be settled by the
first of Jan. 1894, from various ex
cuses a final settlement has never been
made the money and commission to
settle being iu the hands ofW. M.
Mtllett (acting for G. W. Ray and S.
C. McCaudless.)
The board of directors anxious to
have the whole matter adjusted met
the Ist ofJuue to re-dh ide the money
nucalled for with the shareholders
who had presented their claims to find
that several hundred dollars was yet
uncalled for and belonging to men
who were in Jackson almost daily
such as D. D. Swim, G. E. Harmon,
R. W. Mays and others. The board
thought it right and so instructed Mr.
S. C. McCandless to publish a list of
all names who had uncalled tor
money requesting them to call aud
get it. Juue has passed and no list
has appeared Mr. McCaudless says
Mr. Mallett will not furnish him with
the names he has. Kuowing that this
matter ought to have been settled long
ago as the people should have had their
money. As member of the board of
directors I wish for theblame to rest
where it belongs.
I publish this card hoping that it
will bring about a final settlement.

During our fourth of July holiday we
saw nearly every portion of our county
and we can say from actual obseryotion
that Butts county never had a better
cotton crop in it than now, at this time
of the year. The corn crop, which two
weeks ago was thought to be a failure,
has come out wonderfully, and we
should all feel thankful for the present
encouraging outlook.
The store rooms of the government
still, near Flovilla, were robbed and
burned on last Friday night. We learn
they contained about 500 gallons of
whiskey.
There was a terrific bail storm at
Indian Spring last Wednesday. Corn
was split into threads and halls of hail
fell as large as guinea eggs.
The crops in Butts county are in bet
ter fix than they have ever been at this
time of the year; aud they are looking
as well as we ever saw them upon an
average.

COLORED TEACHERS.
We, the committee appointed by the
colored citizens of Butts couuty, in con
vention assembled, in the town of Jack
son, for the purpose of elevating the
moral and intellectual interest of our
people by employing in the several
schools of the county such teachers as
can and will work for the best iuterest
of our children.
Knowing that we have been imposed
upon in the past by teachers whose
moral standing was questionable, also,
who were intellectually disqualified to
render that service so much needed
among our people. We, as a committee,
do petition the county school board to
grant us the privilege of endorsing the
application of teachers for the colored
schools of our couuty, or to allow us to
coorperate with the county hoard to that
extent that will enable us to give all the
information we may he in possession of
regarding the morals of applicants, as
our chief aim is for the betterment of
our teachers and children. The actions
of some of our teachers in the past have
led us to ask the board of education to
grant these our petitions and prayers.
Respectfully submitted,
COMMITTIB.

There was a happy gatheri tg of
bright faces amt mei ry hearts at the
Cleveland House on Wednesday even
ing of last week With laughter and
song and gay repartee, not forgetting
the delightful refreshments, the even
ing passed too swiftly away. All
we ii merry as a marriage bell.
Sc bright aud attractive had Miss
WaMace, the proprietress, made the
parlors and dinning hall and so pleas
antly did the gallant cavaliers enter
tain that not until the “wee sma'”
hours had admonished them of the
lateness of the uight. did they return
thanks for a most enjoyable and hap
py evening, and disperse to speud the
happy hours over in dreamland.
‘•Did you ever walk in dreamland
Thro’ sweet fields of flowers,
Gently led by some friendly hand—
Spending years in hours?”
Thus it was that delightful evening
that handsome cavaliers and maidens,
sweet and fair, walked in dreamland,
where “eyes looked love to eyes that
spake again.”

"'he young people of Jackson gave a
delightful entertainment at the Morrison
House on Tuesday night of this week,
and music and mirth flowed freely. Mr.
G. M. Lattig, a violinist of great note,
furnished music for the occasion, with
piano accompaniment. Among the
guests present we noticed Dr. James TANARUS,
Ellis, who entered into the joys of the
evening with that sprightliness and vi
vacity which caused enyy to his young
er aspirants for the bewitching smiles of
the beautiful young ladies as
sembled. When it comes to whole
eouled enjoyment of an occasion of this
1 ind Dr. Ellis cau be found right in the
front ranks, and the terrific manner in
which he was sought after by the young
ladies is sufficient evidence that his com
pany was a most important factor
toward the evenings enjoyment, P. S.
—Later—“Doc” led the german all over
the house, and Anally wound up on the
back, porch where he was found by
Charley Gresham in company with three
young ladies and a watermelon. Young
people, take notice! On and after this
date, Dr. James T. Ellis is “strictly in
it!”
Mrs. Tassie Tucker complimented
Misses Buttrill aud their guests with a
very delightful reception on Tuesday
evening last. -Japanese lanterns lent
their sott light to the verandas and
lawn. The interior of the house was
most gracefully and beautifully dec
orated with ferns, palms, roses and
other floral designs.
At eleven o’clock, the guests were
invited into the dining hall, where
delicate and dainty refreshments were
attractively arranged, and gracefully
served.
Misses Robert* and Huff favored
the company with recita
tions during the ovening, which were
much enjoyed. Mrs. Tucker sustain
ed her reputation as an ideal hostess,
and entertained her guests in a most
charming mariner. She was assisted
in receiving by Mesdames T. M. Fur
low, m. L. Hendiick, ZT. Buttrill,
and Miss Hattie Buttrill, who were
valuable and elegant assistants. The
evening was immensely enjoyed and
will linger long in the memory of all
present.
The Misses Burr and Roberts, to
whom this entertainment was giv
en, are two young ladies of superior
intellect and possess a charm ot
beauty which may be said to con
tain magnetic influence, The
courteous manner in which th#y
make friends of each new acquain
tance is only a characteristic of
their charming abilities of rtception.
They possess every quality neces
sary to e dear them to the people
of Jackson, whose sole wish is that
they may remain guests of our
young ladies for an indefinite pe
riod.
The recitations of the Misses Huft
and Roberts were most enjoyable to
the assembled guests. They showed
superior excellence in the manner
in which they rendered the difficult
taeial expressions of the pieces re
cited, and it is our opinion that as
elocutionists of superb training
these highly cultivated young ladies
sre par excellence. The applause
of the audience was vociferously ex
tended, which was a taint testimo
nial of their appreciation of the ad
mirable manner in which their ren
ditions were given.
The following couples were in at
tendance :
Miss Clifford Burr, of Bamesville,

Well, on Sunday last Bob gave a
dinner to a number of his young gen
tlemen friends, at h : s residence in
this city, which for variety of edibles
and the manner of their disposal,
stands unexcelled in the annals of
stag dinners.
The guests began arriving before
dinner was put on, and they continu
ed to arrive until way after dinner
was taken off; and Bob says some of
them casually dropped iu on him the
next morning. Any way there was
‘he greatest quantity of eatables ever
assemb ed for such a hungry multi
tude, ami the way those guests cov
ered that dinner over with themseh es
would have caused a crocodile to have
she<l tears of remorse. Bob took the
precaution to have his table cloth nail
ed down or some of them in their
hurry to appease their appetites
might have scooped it in. There was
not a one of the crowd w T ho did uot
gain at least five pounds by the oper
ation, aud w3 have it on good author
ity that We9t Thompson and Charlie
Smith have not been able to eat any
thing since. The cuisine wa9 elegant,
aud under the personal supervision of
Mr. Bob Lyons, a more bounteous re
past was never served nor better en
joyed than on '.his especial occasion.
Bob numbers his friends in Jackson
as the census taker does its inhabi
tants. and when we say everyone who
attended this diuner left full up to
the neck, ws mean exactly what we
say, and that too with a capital F for
the Full!
Here are those who participated in
the devastation : Dr. Cantrell, E. L.

Pinckney, Douglas Watson, Charlie
Smith, Clifford Beauchamp, Howard
Bell, W. M. Potts, Tom Buttrill, W.
G. Thompson, Ilarrold Higgins, Ed
Huson, Charlie Fari.l, Charlie Gresh
am. And they all left most profuse iu
their admiration ol the admirable
maimer iu which the affair was con
ducted, and Mr. Lyons has the hearty
wishes of each of them for along and
prosperous life,

One of the most delightful and
highly enjoyable entertainments
ever given in Jackson, was one
givt n1 y Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Car
michael at their beautiful residence
on Third street, complimentary to
their guests, the Misses Bramblette
of Forsyth, on Thursday night of
last week.
The palatial home of Mr. and
Mrs; Carmichael presented an un
alloyed dream of loveliness. Jap
anese lanterns and vari-colored
lights lent their charms toward en
hancing the beauty of the scene and
making it most enchanting in real
ity. No home in Jackson ever
shone forth in greater splendor nor
presented a gayer scene of mirth
and pleasure than did the Carmi
chael mansion on this occasion.
Quite a number guests were pres
ent and we regret that a pressure of
other news preyents us from giving
a more extended report, but we suf
fice it to say that no entertainment
ever given in this city possessed
more enjoyable features nor proved
more entertainting than did this re
ception of Thursday night.
At 11 o’clock the guests were ush
ered into the large and commodious
dining parlors where stood many
tables laden with fruits and delica
cies of eyery description, tending to
appease the appetites of the most
fastidious. The tables were gayly
decorated with beautiful ferns and
flowers, and ever and anon from the
kalsomined walls hung beautiful
wreaths of flowers of the most ex
quisite touch and shade. Words
fail us in attempting to describe the
beauty and the grandeur of this
scene, as it has to be yiew r ed so as
to be fully appreciated, and it is
sufficient to add that we can say
nothing too nice of the delights of
the evening. Miss Willie Stanton,
of Manchester, assisted by Misses
Annie Jackson and Clyde McCal
lutn most gracefully did the act of
receiving, and nothing was left un
done, nor pains were spared by
these charming young ladies to
make their guests have a most en
joyable time.
The Misses Brambleit are two
very handsome and highly oultiva*
ted young lad'es, and the manner
in which they made this event a
most enjoyable one to their guests,
goes to show that their pepulaiity
is enly xcelled by the charming
manner they have in making friends
of each new acquaintance. That
