Elgin, Ga, Butts Cos. ANNUAL SINGING. On the first Sunday in October the vocalists of this section will me .t m annual session at Sandy Creek church, where they have met for many years past to sing praises to God from the old Sacred Harp in such songs as those written by such men asNewtou, Whitfield, Watts, Cowper, Hastings and Wesley, who have long since gone to the Heaven of which they use to sing. The object of this meeting is to praise God and for no other pur pose, and, therefore, strictly sacred songs will be sung. Remember the day, the first Sunday in Oct. 1894. THE TRUeTREASON. The Third Party is to blame for cotton being ao low. Capitalists are afraid to let their money out or to buy any kind of property that will give the laborers work to do. 1 heae political agitators and com munistic ideas paralyzes all kinds of industry. The laws as they are though we might change them from time to time to suit changing con ditions, are not half as much the cause ot the low prices as the Third Party, They agitate all the time and keep business unsettled and cotton low, and factories from being built where the poor mgroes could get work to do and live and be py- If it was not for their wild ideas now cotton would be worth nine cents, so they are costing the farmers of this country fifteen dol lars per bale right now- They are thick in Kansas and the people out there are perishing to death. Times were good and cotton high before we had any Third Party. L. R. Casous is tlie place to buy shoes and hosiery. THE PIANO PARTY. On last Tuesday the Piano Party met in the court house to listen to a harangue by one moderately colored gentleman by the name of Doyle. The said Doyle has some Sparta fame and has been in Alabama helping Kolb aince he and Watson was beaten in the 10th. The Black Keys predominated in that meeting here, and in fact the Third Party is depending upon the negroes in Butts county, of course there is some exceptions but the bet ter Class of the few white men who belong to it can’t look God in the face end say that they are not in the party “for revenue only. They, the intelligent white men who belong to the party wouid quit it in five min utes if they knew like we do, that they would nevei get office in it. L. R. Cason’s store is the place to buy millinery and notions. Mr. David Thaxton left on Thurs day for Dublin Ga. whers he will engage in the publication of a week ly paper No man who lives in this city could go away with more sincere regrets of a’l our people than did Mr Thaxton. Born and raised in this county, he took an active part in the affairs of the county in his early manhood and from that time has always been an earnest advocate of every public euterprise whose object was the upbuilding of the people or the business of his section. He has stood up for the right regargdless of consequences and to day he counts eyery man, woman and child in Bntts county as hi 3 friend. L. R. Cason’s store is the place now to buy dress goods and trim mings. FOUND One black horse mule, very wild. He is now impounded in Mays & Co.’s livery stable. Owner can get him by paying expenses. j. M. Holifiild. THINK OF IT. There is now languishing in the coun ty jail, a white man who is accused of taking a razor from a Mr. Tollerson, his former employee. If he is not released on bond he will have to remain in jail until the February term of court as an expense to the county. He is now and has been, since his confinement, a very sick man, and has t,o secure medical attendance daily. If he is convicted of taking the razor at the next term of court, no disposition save to lie in jail as a further expense to the couuty can be xiade of him, no lessee wants a man who is not able to work, so he will only have to remain in Butts county, jail at 50c a day’s expense to our tax payers. Now, here is about what it will cost our county to dispose of this gigantic case of larcency. To board 7 months $105.00 ” trial by jury $200.00 If convicted and sentenced to 1 year board , SIBO.OO To medical attendance SIOO.OO Total $585.00 We do not in any mannei believe in disposing of criminals by giving them thell release before trial, but here is a case of a man, who, while drunk, at an unguarded moment, walked off with a razor of Mr. Tollerson’s in his possession, lie is afflicted with a disease of a dread ful nature, and which it may require years of medical attention to be healed of; he is lying in jail at an expense to the county of $15.00 per month, and the total cost of trial and everything will not foot up less than $585.00. Suppose now he is convicted; at an expense of $200.00 and required to stay in jail one year at an additional expense of $200.00 more for board and medical attention, where is the profit to come in either to Mr. Tol lerson or Butts county. The man is an invalid, he is an expense to the county, Mr. Tollerson lias been assured that he will get another razor for the one taken, and it is our opinion that the best thing that can be done is to turn him out and let him go to some hospital and there stay until he has been relieved of his illness. If he was in the possession of health we would be one of the last to put in a plea for his release, but taking the enormity of the offense into consider ation—taking a razor —the criminals failing health—and what that razor wil cost our county—we feel that in asking his release we are doing a charitable act toward suffering humanity. Since writing the above, we learn that Mr. Tollerson is circulating a petition for the release of the prisoner refered to, and it should be signed by every man in our county, HIGH FALLS CONVENTION. The above named musical body met at d/acedonia on last Friday and sang and transacted business until Sunday, which was the day of days for singing, All the good singers were there and we cannot ennmerate them for we are blessed with many good siDgers- A great number went trom Jackson and claim that they were too well fed and cared for so nioley that they want another next >Sunclay, in the afternoon some of the good old folks re quested Mr. E- E. Pound to lead a lesion in the old Sacred Harp. Mr. irapp, an old gentleman of 80 years, requested them to sing old Bellevue, “How Firm a foundation,’* etc. When the location was made it seemed that every man, wo man and child in the house was singing and those woods reechoed with the praises of God in the very same words and mu* sic that mihgled with the hoop of the In- dian when Chrigtianty was first being planted in the forests that theu overspread this God blessessed country. A/auy old patriarchs and matrons will never forge that song, even when the icy hands of death is fastening upon their natural ex istence. May the great benefactor give these people another day as sweet and an other song in the realms of bliss is our de?ire. TOWN AND COUNTRY. She does not heed the cable-car Which goes with speed intense; She cares not for the trolley wire Whose voltage is immense. The old excursion steamer brings No terror to her brow, But when she is in the country she will m run across acres of ground and climb barbwire fences to escape the affable though inquisitive gaze Of an aged, docile cow. THE BRASS BAND. Jackson cannot afford to lag behind other towns in regard to a proper display when their time comes for the rally. Ihe democrats of this section are to be treated to a great feast of democratic doc trine when we stand and listen to words of wisdom from such lips as those possessed by General bvans, General Gordon, Hon. Joe James and Hon. Robert Berner. Can't we have a brass band? We know your answer will be yes, of course, yes, yes!
