Carnesville, Ga., June 27, 185M>,
Kunnicutt’s Speech.
The best speech that has been made
in Carnesville for a long time was
made last Thursday by Hon. J. B.
JJunnicutt, candidate for commission¬
er of agriculture. lie made a prac¬
ticable, sensible and straightforward
speech that interested and benefitted
every one. that heard him. Mr.llun-
nicutt is a scientific farmer, with the
ability to make the state a splendid
commissioner, and will most certainly
get the office if he has time to get a
hearing in a majority of the counties.
EDITORIALLY PARAGRAPHED.
The country is eager to know what
Atlanta’s population will be.
This will be the greatest political
year that Georgia has seen for a long
time.
John L. Sullivan was fined five
hundred dollars for fighting Kilrain
by the state of Mississippi.
Sam Sm all says he is still ready to
make the race for representative as a
prohibition candidate of Fulton
county.
W. A. Broughton, of Morgan, is
still undecided as to whether lie will
niter the race for congress in this
district.
Stewart and Livingston, candi¬
dates for congress in the Fifth dis¬
trict, will make a joint discussion
campaign.
Col. Northern’s friends, after
hearing of the Hardeman club in At¬
lanta, at once organized a club in the
interest of Northern.
Senator J. J. Ingalls is in favor
of pensioning every soldier who
served in the Union army, whether
he was disabled or not.
A stock company with $100,000
capital has recently been formed for
the purpose of raising peaches on a
large scale in Houston county.
Harry Piiinizy, who died in Ath¬
ens a short time ago, left an estate of
$200,000, to be equally divided
among his three nieces and nurse.
Tiif. silver bill passed by the sen¬
ate last week was lost in the house
on Saturday, so we are not likely to
have any free coinage of silver this
year.
The campaign for governor iu
South Carolina waxes warmer. Till¬
man, the Moses of the farmers, is
making it mighty lively for his oppo¬
nents.
Hon. James G. Blaine, secretary
of state, does not want the McKinley
tariff bill to pass, and says if it does
the republican party will be hurled
from power.
The republicans want to run Long-
street for governor in this state, but
General Longstreet knows that he
cannot be elected, and will hardly be
expected to make the race.
The congressional race in the
Eighth is without any light as to
show who will be elected. Each
candidate can conscientiously claim
one oounty for himself, but this is
about all.
The two daily papers of Atlanta
have from some cause seen it proper
to come out editorially and
J. T. Henderson for commissioner of
agriculture. The thinking farmers
will have their opinion about such
editorials.
IIon. Thomas E. Watson and
Judge Twiggs are having some
trouble m the Tenth congressional
district. It will be remembered that
they were the leading opposing conn-
sd in the McGregor-Cody case,
Watson is opposing Grimes for con-
gross in that district and Twiggs is
supporting Grimes. They aje
peeled to fight on first sight.
Kill the Dogs cud Gave Your Children.
The loss of life, both human and
animal, caused by the bite of dogs is
becoming alarming. Every few days
we see where the mad dog, or rabid
dog, or neither if you please, for it
makes no difference about the tech-
nical name of the disease if its bite
kills us and our children and our
stock. Our lives and our children’s
lives are dearer and worth more to
us than all the dogN in the universe.
Those mad terrors arc becoming so
common that we arc liable to meet
with them without being able to de¬
fend ourselves at any time wc are out¬
side of our houses, and are not safe
then unless the doors are bolted. It
lias been a doubtful question hereto¬
fore with many as to whether there
was any such thing as a rabid dog or
not, but a man with common sense
must admit now that their bite is
more fatal than that of a rattle snake,
and the agony their unfortunate sub¬
jects suffer is beyond description.
There has been no human life lost
in this county from their bite that we
know of, but many cows, hogs, etc.,
have died unquestionably from this
cause in the last few years. Only
last week one of these terrors passed
through the Cromer and Bol 1 Spring
settlements in this county biting hogs,
cows, and other dogs, and several
persons narrowly escaping. Our peo¬
ple should not wait for a dog law to
be passed, but should arm them¬
selves and kill every one, sick or well,
that comes in their reach, The
courts cannot nor will not interfere
with men who defend themselves
from the attack of these deadly mon¬
sters. They are subject to taking
these mad spells at times least ex¬
pected ami always get in their work
before we can help ourselves. The
truth is, none of us are safe as long
as there is a clog in the country, and
a man who kills a dog is as clearly
doing right and defending his life as
when he kills the most poisonous
snake.
The Citizens’ Meeting.
The trustees of the Carnesville In¬
stitute had a meeting last Tuesday
evening for the purpose of taking
some steps in the matter of procuring
a teacher that would be satisfactory
to the citizens of Carnesville and sur-
rounding community another year.
After considering the matter the
trustees decided that they would
rather have an expression from the
citizens as to their choice before they
acted in the matter, and called a cit-
izens’ meeting to be held at the court
house at 4 o’clock Saturday evening
next, the 28th, that the people all
may be heard from on this important
matter. The meeting should be
largely attended, aud all work for a
teacher whose ability and integrity
as a teacher is unquestioned. Let us
make no mistake in selecting a teach¬
er, and then patronize him in a way
that wc can retain his services.
Where there is more than one appli¬
cant that would make a satisfactory
teacher to a great many, but is not
the first choice of the others, this
must not l>e allowed to split our peo¬
ple into opposing and dissatisfied fac¬
tions, but all must pool their differ¬
ences and come harmoniously to¬
gether and all will feel better and see
better results.
Let Us Have Primaries.
A large majority of the voters of
Franklin county are interested in the
t,0,,d, ig state and national elections,
and il is ri S ht lhat the y should have
an expression at the ballot box with
the least trouble possible, and prima¬
ries will give the least trouble and
unquestionably the fullest expression.
There are two candidates for gov¬
ernor, tnree for commissioner of agri¬
culture, and from present indications
will be four or five for congress. Ev¬
ery one will have more or less follow¬
ing in the county, as all will most
likely make a vigorous campaign.
Those living on the borders of the
county will be too far from the court
house to attend a mass meeting, and
then the mass meeting does not afford
the privilege that should be connected
with the ballot. Considering the ac¬
commodations the primaries offer by
furnishing a voting place within

_ - _
Hardeman has accepted Northern’s
challenge for a joint discussion dur-
iug the ballance of the campaign for
governor. This will be one of the
most interesting campaigns ever
made in Georgia. They are both
clean and intellectual men, and their
discussion wiil be free from mud
|slinging.
To the Patrons and Trustees ot the
Franklin Institute.
As school exerc ises will be resumed
on Monday, the 80th inst., permit me
to call your attention to the impor¬
tant fact, that to make any school a
success the community in which it is
located—or to say the least, the pa¬
trons of the school—must manifest
some interest in it. However com¬
petent the teacher may he, he cannot
conquer success without the co-oper¬
ation of the patrons. Teachers uml
pupils need encouragement, and when
this is withheld the school is hound
to lag. The community must be in
harmony—in fact, all parties must
place themselves in a condition favor¬
able to the upbuilding and advance¬
ment of the school; otherwise, disor¬
der reigns and the school must either
languish or prove a failure. If these
conditions are necessary for the pros¬
perity of the school, what may he ex¬
pected when, instead thereof, a spirit
of fault-finding and factious opposi¬
tion is manifested?
“Uneasy He the heads of all who
rule;
The most so his, whose kingdom is a
school.”
I do not arrogate to myself supe¬
rior merits as a teacher, but I do most
respectfully suggest to the patrons
and others interested that they visit
the school to encourage teacher and
pupils by their presence and to see
what is being done before becoming
improperly affected towards the
school and condemning its manage¬
ment. Having spent the greater por¬
tion of my life in and around Carnes¬
ville, it is hut natural that I should
desire her prosperity, and especially
that of her schools; but how stands
her school record for several years
past? Is evidence wanting to show
that her schools have not been satis¬
factory to the, community? What
has been the matter? It will not do
to say that the teachers have been
altogether to blame. “He that is first
in his own cause seemeth just; but
bis neighbor cometh and searched)
him,” is one of Solomon’s proverbs
that some might heed with profit.
The subject of a first-class high
school is now being agitated, and
Carnesville ought to have one, but it
is idle to talk of such a thing unless
the people act together and show
more interest in such an enterprise
than they have hitherto shown in the
common schools. A. J. Morris.

guarantee upon every collar turned
out from his collar factory:
1 do hereby guarantee this collar
to he made out of good leather, well
tanned and well greased, and the
work all done by hand. There is not
a stitch of machine work in it. I
have made and sold the same grade

kip collar. Read the following cer¬
tificates. I could give a large num¬

I have a pair of horse collars that
I bought of S. M. Ayers ten years
ago, and have used them almost con¬
stantly, and they have not got a break
in them yet, and they are so made
that they do not hurt my stock.

I can cheerfully recommend S. M.

S. F. Bagwell.

I do hereby certify that I I bought am now of
using a horse collar that
you, made in your harness shop in
Carnesville, in 18(39 or 1870, and I
have used it constantly since that
period with my buggy harness and
often with wagon and plow harness,
except about six months that I used
a collar that I bought with the last
set of harness that I bought, which
wore out in that time, and I turned
to my old Ayers collar again. I
think that it is good for four or five
service more. May 12, 1890.
