At a special term of Calhoun snpc?

killed a man named Lingo in Morgan
a few weeks since, was convicted of
manslaughter and sentenced to fifteen
years in the penitentiary.
In spite of the efforts of the Consti¬
tution to the contrary, Mr. Turner is
still regarded as one of the South’s !
ablest exponents in congress of the
true principles of democracy. * Their !

Even the Populists in Dade county
refused to affiliate with the free silver
Democrats, An attempt t« organize
a fusion movement was made there a |
few days since, and the Pop* bolted
the meeting, disgusted with the lack
of strength of their would-be demo¬
cratic allies. 1
rile Populists claim that they arc
the only consistent adherents to true
democracy, while the free silver Dem¬
ocrats claim that there are none other
besides them. And yet, neither can
produce evidence to substantiate their
claim. Mere assertion without proof
is mighty poor argument.
From the North, from the South anil
from the West there were fewer vote"
cast in the house for free silver than
there were either m 1802 or in 1804.
In 1802 the silverites controlled twen¬
ty-five state delegations; now they con¬
trol seventeen, including Utah, which
hns just come in. How the free silver
movement does grow!—Ex.
Mr. J. II. Fulford came down from

Mrs.JScaife is a most estimable lady,

Tlu populist congressman, Howard,

day the vote on the silver bill was
taken that he was unable to cast his
vote. He was laid out in a room to j
sober up.
Last week we inadvertently omit¬
ted mention of the death
of Mrs. Archie Horne, which
occurred nt her home a few miles
south of Fort Gaines on the 18th inst.,
and of which other mention is made
elsewhere in this issue of the Sknti¬
nkl. She was the daughter of Mr. B.
F. Lokev, and was much beloved bv a
wide circle of friends for her main rare

STEWA&T anh; JONES*
Tne two men who represent Neva¬
da with its 40,000 people in the United
States senate pretend to believe that
the prosperity and material salvation
of the country depend upon the
and unlimited coinage of silver and
nounce the gold standard as a crime,
Both these menjwere in the senate
in 1H7.'$ when tin* silver dollar was
from the list of our coins,and
strange as it may seem, they were
cisely the two sensators who were
most ardent in the ad\ocacy of Bo*
gold standard. made speech de
In 1874 Stewart a
feuding the so-c»lled “crime of 1873,’ >
in which he said:
“I want the gold standard and no
rc^MJttllUlblc .
|>JAp^r moilCV not 1 II) ,
no paper money the value of which is
not fiKcortiiiiiocl \ no paper money that
organizes a gold hoard to speculate in
it.”
Though Stewart is m>w the most
rampant silverite he requires that his
mortgages shall he made payable in
gold. He insists on the gold standard
for himself, though he wants to estab
the silver stattdaid for the country.
In 1874 .Tones tried to outdo his col
league in glory fy ing the gold standard.
He said in the senate:
“I)oes this eongrosH mean now
leave entirely out <•! vt>-. am! discard
forever it standard of value? Did any
country ever accumulate wealth,
achieve greatness or attain a high civ.
ilization without such a standard? And
what hut gold can he that standard?
What otherthing on earth possesses the
requisite qualities? Gold is the articula¬
tion of commerce. It is the most potent
agent of civilization. It is gold that
has lifted the nations from harhaism.
So exact a measure is it of human cf
that when it is exclusively used as
a money it teaches the very habit of
It neither deals in nor tol
falsi* pretenses. It cannot lie.
It keeps its promises to rich and poor
alike.”
It is easy to see what has wrought
the change in the position of Stewart
and Jones.
They are both large owners of silver
mine stock. Silver lias grown cheap¬
er since 1873. Its production has in¬
creased vastly; it costs much less to
mine it now than it did then and it is
not in such demand for use as money
among civilized nations.
It is tlie craving tor the privilege of
taking 50 cents’ worth of their silver
to the mints and having it coined into

sdverites of the two senators who
in 18<4 contended that g**ld was the
only true standard of value.—Atlanta

STICK TO YOUR TOWN.
Make up in your mind, says the
R° ,m ‘ 1 ribune, to stick to your own
town at all hazards. Keep it first in
your thoughts. Ponder on it, dream
over it, study about it, stick to it.
Never let up on it. No matter it
pie are disposed to make light of you, longj
keep it up. If you stick to it
enough you will convert the most ob
durate. When you leave town take
along with you a stock of nice, things
to say about the place. |
People may jeer at you but in their j
heart they have a higher regard for the
man who sticks to his town than for
the fellow yvho abuses it. They dis¬
trust the man who runs down his own
town. You can find so many agreea¬
ble features about your place it you
will only think over it a little. All of
your interests are interwoven with the
place and people where and among you
l \‘; It is . the best thing in the world ,, to !
cultivate. It makes your own people
respect and trust you. If you are not
much account for anything being else, they
give you credit for public spirit¬
ed, and that goes a longways. If you
run down your own town and tell noth¬
ing but the truth about it, you accom¬
plish no good and your fellow citizens
despise you for it.
Stick to your town. Do not let any¬
thing come between you and the inter
ests of the community in which you
live. Stand by your own people. You
will never tiiui any better people the
wide, wide world over than those
among whom your lot is cast. Bv all
means stick to your town and to your
people.
