Some of onr people fail to appreciate Mr. Turner and many take issue with him on one or another subject, hut wherever there has been a difference of opinion between Mr. Turner and his constituents, lie has fully sustain ed his position by overpowering logic, and a lack of appreciation of him any where bespeaks poor judgement, bad principle or an inordinate prejudice. There has been a cheap objection to Mr. Turner among some of bis con stituents who charge him for not having labored to promote legislation in favor of bis own district. He i“ blamed for be ng a broad minded statesman, too liberal and unselfish to ask for appropriations for his home people, in a greedy sense this is actually so. Mr, Turner, it is true, lias ma lc no effort (o obtain a marble public building for every crossroad in bis district, neither lias he used Ins influence to dredge every running branch, or to dig any prodigious ca nals through the foot hills of (lie A lie— glianies; nor lias he secured a govern ment position for every man in bis district who Was out of a job: there i: some little pretext to doubt this as a congressman's duty ; but Mr. Turner has worked quietly in favor of all ju dicious expenditures, making little fuss and no blow to bis constituents of his mighty deeds in their favor. He has been too honest to ask for appro priations which were not merited and too modest to herald bis labors in (be interest of bis people. Those who charge Mr. Turner of being too great a statesman to serve a congressional district, and who would for this rca on displace him for a smaller man, mark a most contemptible epoch in the his tory of polities. Hut thanks to Chris tianity and education, there are only a few of this kind. Mr. Turner is a nobleman and his opponents are obliged to admit it. Though lie has retired —we hope only for a short while —from public lift 1 , lie will not be forgotten and lost in the onlivion of an ordinary politician. He lias made history and his record is written in the hearts of his country nun. .Monuments of excellence and honor stand on the public plains of national esteem, and tributes of grati tude and love lurk fondly around the hearthstones of many thousand hemes where bis honesty and purity are known. Only a low days ago an old man said to us, “I have known him inti mavoly for thirty years and by two standards I have judged him : 1 have never heard him to utter a word or sentiment that was not tit for a lady to hear and 1 have never known him to use an unfair method to defeat an opponent.’' Such a tribute is worthy of a king, and as Mr. Turner lias bestowed on his constituents the gra cious order of a ‘ dukedom,’’ it is but lit that be should receive the coronet of a gra*cful people. lilt tXTI.I A S XOMIX VTIOX. On the retirement of one great man. the Eleventh district comes forward | with the possibility and likely hood of another to serve it in the highest councils of the nation. In the nomination of Mr. Brantley for congress, the district has in a great degree made reparation for the loss of Mr. Turner. It must be admitted _ that no man can till Mr. Turners place unconditionally : but if there be I a near approach to the excellence of -his gieatness. it is concentrated in the] splendid epitome of characteristics I found in W. li. Brantley. He is bril- 1 liant. energetic and honest. He lias a capacity to comprehend, a magnet ism to attract, an eloquence to im press. He is logical, profound and' earned, and with a nature that is affable, considerate and gentle, he is possessed of a vast deal of what is termed ‘‘common sense” which serves him in great as well as small affairs. Asa well rounded man he surpasses any other congressman who will go from Georgia, and it will be only a matter of time and experience when he will have a prestige in con gress and wield an influence as bis successor, and thus the high honor which lias been accorded the Eleventh district will continue to be accorded for the excellence of bet representa tive. Mr. Brantley is such a favorite with the people of the Brunswick judicial circuit, and, indeed, with the people of the entire Eleventh district, that be will have very little opposition to Iris candidacy, even should the populists have a candidate in the field. Three fourths of the people in Coffee county, populists and democrats, will vote for Mr. Br.nlley in preference to any man in the district. The free silver criers are virtually hushed, and notwith standing his privately avowed princi ples on the money question, they have agreed to acquiesce and lend their support to his election. This means that his nomination was virtually an election, and that Will G. Brantley will fight our battles in the next congress, McKinley and Hobart are rather unusual names, but they are winners just at this period. Gov. Atkinson will have many a Baiiquo to face before “Birtium wood remove to Dunsinane.” “Dixie” was the favorite air at the Republican national convention. That was good taste, especially in a southern city. __________ The bolt at St. Louis did not per ceptibly raise the price of silver. We await the action at Chicago for that utopian boon. Mrs. Nollies was remanded to the state court by Judge Speer last Satur day. She was resentenced Monday to be hanged. The people say “we do not want any whiskey sold in Coffee county.” Do not fret: it is out of the question, even il Mr. Tanner should gel elected, which lie will never do. If Mr. Tanner should live to be as old as Methuselah, lie would never again be elected to the Georgia legis lature. He lias allowed a few indis creet friends to lead him astray. Waresboro is glad that the decision of the Supremo court has left it with -a municipal government. Wo suspect that some of the citizens of Pearson are in a like state of mind. It is difficult for a well bred man to understand what Governor Atkinson will say if lie shall be called on for a speech at the Richmond reunion, but Bill Atkinson, the bull-dozer, will “shoot ’em" just the same. Prof. Pound who has been president of the Gordon Institute at Bartlesville f r the past eight years has severed his connection with that institution to accept the chair of pedagogy at the State Normal and Industrial School, Milledgeville. Frank Stanton, of the Constitution, has discovered that Mary's lamb had hair on him and that it was of golden hue. Mary's lamb will yet be identi fied as the same from which the gold en fleece of Colchis was taken, and Frank Stanton the Jason who stole it. Editor Bayne of the Augusta Herald says of the sweet girl graduate : “Her cheeks have robbed the or chards, and her eyes are glittering understudies of the stars. There is a buoyancy in her heart and starch in her petticoats, and the music of rip pling waters in her ceaseless conver sation.” A few senators were left in Wash ington as a committee to investigate the bond issues. Last Monday they summoned Seeretan Carlise before them for information, and that digni tary was so clear in bis replies and his bond issues appear so honest and nec essary that the committee are much like the boy that the calf run over. Since the Albany Herald thinks that Clevelaudism has expired, and since Turner has declined to run for con gress. Editor Mclntosh calls Pendleton and Perliam the political orphans of the Eleventh. It appears to us that we should rather be the orphans of sdeh men as Cleveland and Turner than the illegitimate otlsprings of Tom Watson aud C. Crisp. ANNOUNCEMENTS. AiDcnnce in f nis colantn.
