At this stage of political unrest, the

better than to send to congress a man
who is true to every trust reposed iu him

representatives of our government. The

CHILDREN’S DAY.
Sunday was children’s day at the
Baptist church aud Dr. Gardner preaeh
ed a sermon to them that will doubtless
do good even for millions yet unborn.
A wave of pure truth cast on the sea of
humanity will widen as the time goes by
until its influence sweeps the shores of
eternity, and like Tennyson’s river run
on forever. Next Sunday the preacher
will talk especially to the parents. These
special sermons are Tery interesting and
profitable. Everybody is invited to
attend.
We had a friendly call from our old
friend, J. C. Tarpley, of Hampton, on
last Monday. Mr. Tarply is post master
in his town and also one of ker leadidg
business men. While in he spoke a good
word for the Argus, and stated that hia
good wife thought more of it than he
did. Other ladies, some of whom live in
our town, such as Mrs. M. Y. McKibben
and Mrs. E. E. Pound send us encourag
ing words. The argus feels very proud
of the approval of all of these noble la
dies, and will try more zealously to merit
their praise in the future.
Just think of it ! Ready made
fence for only 40 cents per rod.
W e can furnish you at that price.

like to see the doctor get the trip, and
hope our subscribers will help him, es
pecially those who have no insurance.
He represents the best old line insurance
eompany in the world. It is tke poor
man’s company. He will visit you be
tween now and then, but if he does not,
see him in town, or leave your name

JACKSON INSTITUTE.
Every citizen of Jackson and surround
ing country should feel a thrill of patri
otic pride rush through his bosom at the
very mention of this noble institution.
Only oonsider the fact that we, some of
us poor men, right here in our own town
have such facilities as are supplied at
tho institute, and that our eweet little
children—the dearest hope on earth for
our own futuie names, and the very
cause of a true parent desiring to live at
all. They can be with us at night, and
in a few minutes walk reach a school
whose curriculum is sufficiently high
to put our children under our own care
within oue year of graduation* We do
not really appreciate this great blessing
we are now the recipients of. No man
within reach of such a school can afford
to be stingy towards its support. While
the little fellows are resting lets not for
get the importance of our school, and the
necessity for being ready and haying the
children ready by the opening of the fall
term.
SETTLEMENT REUNION.
This is the time of the year wheu oom
muuities meet iu the rural districts, in
annual session, to look after the cleanli
ness of the old family grave yards. Mr.
J. E. Hoard, that prince of good fellows,
carried us to one of these on Saturday
last, at a place known as the Clark
cemetery. It was remote from any pub
lic road, or the abodes of man, and the
silent city of the dead lay tranquil and
alone id the virgin forest upon an eleva
tion commanding a view for miie3
around.
Among those who were there, were
the Mayos, Brownlees, Ciarks, Dodsons,
Kimbroughs, Hoards, Prestons, and
others whose names we failed to get.
After the work was finished the grave
yard looked as neat and as clean as a
well kept parlor.
This voluntary work by the communi
ty speaks volumes for the Christianity
and eulture of that community. A more
noble work was never done than caring
for and decorating the graves of those
we love. Tiny Brownlee is the champion
sweeper. Such a feast of edibles as was
spread in the grove at 12 o’elock has not
been surpassed by any attempt of the
culinary art since the discovery of
America. Such reunions as this ties the
communities in a stronger love for each
other. Long may the people of this
community live to enjoy many more such
occasions.
WORTH YILLE.
Near the northeastern corner of Butts
county is located the beautiful and
pleasant village of Worthville, and among
the many other changes for good that
have been witnossed in the different
portions of the county, no plaoe has un
dergone such a wonderful reformation as
this. On the ground where but a few
years ago stood bai rooms and billiard
saloons can now be seen beautiful
churches and magnificent school build
ings; where then were heard, continu
ally, the ringing of bar glasses and the
snapping of billiard balls, yon now hear
the sweet songs of Zion and the soothing
strains of the gospel of peace; where
you then heard horrid oaths of men call
ing down the wrath of Heaven upon
their fellowmen, and the murderous re
ports of guns and pistols, you now hear
the prayers of the righteous and words
of praise to Almighty God; where men
often gathered and shuffled cards to win
their neighbors’ money, is now
gathered numbers of bright faced
boys and girls in flourishing Sunday
Schools. Indeed, the change has been
great, and this is but a rude and im
perfect pictnre of the truth that exists
there now.
Since last Saturday a most glorious re
vival has been in progress at the Baptist
churoh, conducted by the beloved pas
tor Rev. J. G. Kimbell, and all who
attend are warmed up spiritually under
the good influences of the meetings.
This good man of God assisted by Rev,
F. T. Kimbell, is doing much good and
many additions to the church are ex
pected before the meeting closes. May
the God of peace continue to bless
Wcrtfcville is our prayer.
TO THE PUBLIC.
Editors Argus: — l notice in the last
issue o* your paper a card from Hon. T.
J, Dempsey, in which he says he is oppos
ed to a city court or a county court, and
that he did not favor either when he was
a member ef the legislature I have heard
from what I consider good authority that
he did express himself in favor of a city
court during that time, and suggested a
legal friend of his as a suitable man for
judge of the court. The advertisement
was made by himselt, as the law directs,
and I’ve been told that he had a bill drawn
for that purpose. That don’t look much
like he was opposed to a city court.
I have also been told that he claimed to
be a friend to the county court before the
petition to abolish that court was present -
ed to him. B’hat has ctine over the
spirit of hit dream to make him deny all
this now? He knows that if the people of
2?utls county want a city court, they can
gat it under the geaeral law by the recom
mendation of the grand jory without any
legislation.
Mr Dempsey still insists that the court
is the issue in this campaign. He aajs he
don’t want the court 1 nave said the
same thing over my signature. Nooody
iu soliciting me to make this race said any
thing about county court, and nobody has
made a request of me to reestablish the
court, then where is tha issue? If he or
his followers insist on making that an issue
why not submit it directly to the people,
and let them vote for or against it? and 1
make this proposition to Mr Dempsey that
we ask the voters of this county to endorse
on their ballot “county court” or “no
county court”—and respecfully ask tha
managers of tha election to count and re
turn the result.
Respectfully,
J. A. McMichael.

THE SIMPLE TRUTH.
Editor Constitution : The tollowing
appeared in “The Voice,” the prohibi
tion organ, in its last issue :
“Oxford, Ga , June 30.—(Special
Correspondence to The Voice)—Prof.
11. A. Scomp, one of the ablest in
structors iu the south and a leading
prohibitionist, has been compelled to
resign the chair of Greek in Emory
colloge, which he has held for more
than eighteen years, because ol his fa
vorable atitude toward the prohibi
tion party. Professor Scomp is the
author of the well known work, ‘King
Alcohol in the Roalm ot King Cotton.’
The president of Emory college, Dr.
W. A. Candler, is a bitter hater of the
prohibitionists and W. C. T. U., aud
it is his attitude, largely, that has
compelled Prof. Bcomp*s resignation.”
There is not a word of truth in it
except that Dr. H. A. Scomp is no
longer professor of Greek in Emory
college.
He did not resign. Professors in
Emory college are elected for three
years. Prof. Scoraps time was out and
Mr. Lundy 11. Harris was elected to
the Greek chair.
Dr. Candler is a prohibitionist; has
been from his boyhood. So is
the faculty. So is the board of trus
tees. So is Oxford by its charter
since 1847.
People write here to know wha: the
paragraph in “The Voice” means.
It means that its Oxford correspon
dent, unknown to me, is absolutely ig
norant or absolutely untruthful. Else
deranged.

PLATFORM.
For the special benefit of our populist
brethren and some gold-bug democrats
we publish the democratic platform of
1878. It was written by Judge Speer, of
Griffin, and unanimously adopted at
Barnes ville:
“Resolved by the delegates to the fifth
district convention, That we deem it
due as the representatives of the democ
racy of the district to put on record the
following as our platform of principles
upon the subject of national fiuanees:
“!• That we condemn the contraction
of the currency that has brought so
much ruin upon the agricultural, com
mercial and man ufactux-ing interests of
the country, and we demand at the
hands of congress the repeal of the re
sumption act.
“2. We endorse and demand the x-e
--moval, by congi’ess, of all l'estrictions in
the coinage of silver, and the re-estab
lishment of silver as a money metal the
same as gold.
“3. We favor the gradual substitution
of L nxted States legal tender notes for
national bank notes and its permanent
establishment as the paper money of the
country—made receivable foi all dues to
tbe government and of equal tender with
coin. The amount of such issues is to
be regulated by law as to give the people
assurance of stability in the volume of
the currency, and consequent stability
of the value—no further increase of the
bonded debt aud no further sale of bonds
for the purchase of coin for l’esumption
purposes.
“Resolved further, That we approve
and endorse the payment of all bonds
and dues by the federal govexaiment as
they fall due in the currency of the gov
ernment whexe the same are not payable
in coin by the original contract. We fa
vor further the gradual extinction of the
public debt—rigid economy—the reduc
tion of expenditures iu all the branches
of the public service aud a tariff for rev
enue only.”
MARVELOUS RESULTS-
From a letter written by R, v. J.
Guiidennan, of Diinoudale, Mich., we
are permitted to make this extract:
“I have no hesitation in recomnxeud*
ing Dr. King’s New Discovery, as the
results were almost marvelous in the
case of my wife. While I was pastor
of the Baptist church at Rives Junc
tion she was brought dowu with pneu
monia succeeding LaGrippe. Terrific
paroxysms of coughing would last for
hours with little interruption and it
seemed as if she could not survive
them. A fiiend recommended Dr.
King’s New Discovery ; it was quick
in its work and highly satisfactory in
its results.” Trial bottles free at R.

REPLY TO S. H. MAYS.
Editors Argus The Card of S>
H. Mays seekiug to place me in a
false position is itself so false as to de
mand notice at my hands. His object
Icanuot divine. If it is a conspir
acy to decieve and mislead tho minds
of the public, such low mean conspir
acies should find lodgement only in a
heart and mind filled with all that
vile, corrupt and putrid designs that
would give vent to such blackmail.
In the first paragraph of Mr. Mays’
card he slates from various excuses a
final settlement has never been made.
The money and commissions to settle
being in the hands of myself, (acting
for S. C. MeCandless and G. \V.
Ray.)
This whole paragraph is basely false.
I have never made an excuse of any
kind touching this matter that would
in any wav hinder a stock holder
from receiving his payment ou de
mand. neither am I acting for Mr. 8.
C. MeCandless, neither was it under
stood that the whole matter should
be settled by the Ist ot January 1b94.
in tact so far as Mr. Mays and the Al
liance is concerned the final settlement
was made Febuary 1894. when the
settlement and funds whs turned over
to the two commissioners consisting
ot Mr. S. C. MeCandless and myself
who each hold one haifot the funds
for disbursment to stock holders on
demand. 1 will say to Mr. Mays that
while acting as commissioner in set
tlement of this matter I shall do so ac
cording to my own ideas of light, and
not according to his, for if I adopt his
ideas of right I should certainly
greatly lesson my own self respect.
For instance shortly after the April
meeting of the Alliance, l was in
formed by Mr. MeCandless that Mr.
Mays had introduced a resolution bar
ring all unpaid stockholders after the
first of June, aud I would bo expected
to turn over the money in my hands
tan that date to be redistributed to him
ad others who had already received
their demands.
(Imagine Mr. Mays agonizing be
fore the Alliance to get his resolution
passed that lie might redivide and wind
up the affairs of the old corporation.)
I told Mr. MeCandless I would
never do it as it was an illegal and
immoral proceeding that it would be
an attempt to unlawfully seize private
property I am sorry the Alliance
allowed Mr. Mays to put upon them
the responsibility of the passage of a
resolution fraught with so much dan
ger to our inherent rights—the confis
cation of a person's property without
allowing him to be heard .
For illustration suppose the Presi
dent of some bank desired to wind up
the affairs aud he would have pub
lished in some paper in the vacinity
that all the stockholders who failed to
present their stock for payment by
the following Saturday night would
be barred and the stock folders to (he
Conspiracy met on Monday morning
and redivided all the assets belonging
to the stockholders who failed to get
in on time. Can you conceive ot a
mure high handed robbery.
I would inquire from Mr. Maya as
he 883 s he met on June tho first,
anxious to have the whole matter
adjusted and redivided the money
uncalled lor which you sav is sev
eral hundred dollars. ‘‘You met”
You was anxious. You found sev
eral hundred dollars on hand why
didn’t you divide out this uncalled
for money, the purpose for which you
met, armed with your resolution
passsed in the Alliance in April as
published in the Headlight; why
did you hesitate to carry out this
high handed crime. I would ask
again what unction has come over
the mind of this righteous man
who on June the first wanted to rob
the unpaid stock holders enmass
and on July the 12th is so solioitions
about their welfare can he make vir
ture so convenient, and elastic.
You mention the names of several
gentlemen being in Jackson daily
waiting tor the redivide and I appre
hend tbe use of their names was
without their consent. In the con
clusion of your card, you state that
Mr, MeCandless says I will not
nish him with a list of names. Mr.
MeCandless did not make such a
statement,
