Entered at the poitoffiee »t Crawfoidriiie,
Georgia, ai aeeond-elav mail matter.
FRIDAY, MaY 13, 1887. ,
No provision of our constitution
should be more highly prized or more
sealously guarded than that which
guarantees the right of every man to
worship as his conscience dictates,
Blit should meu and women claim un¬
der this, exemption from disturbance
when by what they are pleased to term
worship they are jmnoying a whole
community, and disgracing its chaiac
ter for peace and good order?
Harper’s Weekly contributed very
largely to the election of Cleveland,
and thus far it has has been a strong,
earnest and we doubt not influential
supporter of his Administration.
From the present outlook, the Demo¬
cratic Party cannot without a supreme
act of folly, fail to nominate him for a
second time, and from present pros¬
pects he will receive as large or a larger
independent vote than he did at first.
But many things may take place on
the political sky before July 1888,
The leading paper in the May num¬
ber of Harper’s Magazine is on “the
recent movement in Southern litera¬
ture,” by Charles W. Coleman, Jr.,
and is illustrated by portraits of a doz¬
en pf our writing men aud women.
The sketches given of these are all
characterized by a warm and kindly
affection. We thank Mr. Coleman
for what he has been pleased to say of
those from our section who are seek¬
ing food and fame by the use of their
pens. But while we would join him
in recognizing aud admiring their ef¬
forts, we must protest against his in¬
sinuation that tbe South could not be¬
fore this time boast cf writers as
strong, as original, a3 idiosyncratic as
any of these who are now delighting
the reading public. Simms, Poe, Wlid,
Cook, Thompson, Marion Harland,
Mrs. Levert, Mrs. Warfeild, and many
others whom we could Dame, have con¬
tributed to American literature what
it could not well afford to lose. We
need not underrate what has been in
■order to offer a just appreciation of
what is.. Our-ol . South” was grand
and glorious; it is quite too soon to say
that the “New South” is going to sur¬
pass it in literature or anything else.
We do not agrte with those who are
forever bewailing that the good times
our fathers had are passed; we agree
as little with those who think that we
are just entering upon a good time.
There was good and bad then; there is
good and bad now.
A DAY OF PLEASURE.
Picnic at Moore’s Mill,
Which Was the Delight of
All.
Gur annual May picnic came off last
Friday at that picturesque platt.
Moore’s mill, three miles from Craw¬
fordville. It is a lovely place for a
summer pleasure resort, and it was the
first time that ye Ed. ever had the op¬
portunity of meeting such a crowd of
Taliaferro people in such a beautiful
pl^ce. The weather was excellent ana
the browd uncommonly large for a
neighborhood picnic. The entire hills
and dap3 were filled with pretty girls,
a good number of old people and a suf¬
ficient outlay of young men. Walking
parties, fishing parties, promenading
parties and “tete a tete” parties made
up the forenoon enjoyments. We were
very much pleased witn this kind of
amusements; but of course this was
not so substantial as the hour of twelve
announced. We were invited to the
table tauie, which was most appropriately v
arranged of planks upon wagon bodies.
We have been to picnics at various
times of the year and at various places
imfcbe country and we can safely and
truthfully say that we never saw a ta
bl»more profusely filled with every
thin" that was eatable than the one
spread suieau on this occasion. There wen
good things; d:shes ...... that weie . pa
all
latibfe to all various tastes, even the
daintiest epicure. When Rev. J. F.
Edens gave thanks to our maker for
the glorious bounties that were spread
before us, this huge gathering appear
ed’as “one'family.” All seemed at
w,r. .nou,h the vr ab»
when the Ciowd bad eaten to men

THE DEMOCRAT, GEORGIA.
BUTLER.
And Other Places Along Our
Way.
IVe want to say something to our
readets about what we see in Butler,
the capital of Taylor county. Georgia
can boast of as many varieties of cli¬
mate and of soil as any state in tne
Union. Heie in Hu tier the air seems
fiesh—very much like that of a sea
coast town—water is moderately good,
the streets and sidewalks covered with
sand, varying in depth. The country
is very level here, and hardly an oak
tree to be seen higher than 20 feet.
Butler has a population o about 800;
with about 14 business houses; two ho¬
tels; one church each of Baptist, Meth¬
odist and Primative Baptist. Here
this place has something that no other
town in Georgia can boast of, and
that is a city-like. Hardshell church.
It is somewhat of a Hardshell town.
Although Butler is just fifty miles
South-west of Macon, on the S. W. 11.
R., the vegetation is far in advance of
anything in Taliaferro county. We
have been eating garden vegetables,
see watermelon vine3 running, a yard
long, see polk-stalks six feet high and
in bloom.
The most interesting feature about
Butler is her splendid school building,
the Butler Male and Female Institute.
The house is very lovelv; situated in a
beautiful place and very convenient.
It cost #5.000, and is two stories high,
with lovely varandas above and below
on three sides. The bellfry leads up
in the centre of the front varanda and
towers high in the air, mounted with
a beautiful weather-cock, a golden ea¬
gle. The first floor contains three ele¬
gant school rooms and one nice library
room. The second floor is all in one
large chapel, Prof. Phillip E. Da
vant, who is among the best educators
in the South, is now principal of this
Institute, and has a large number of
pupils. The Frofessor was born in
sight of Liberty Hall, we are glad to
state. Tie has educated as many young
ladies and gentleman as any teacher in
Georgia. He has been teachiug regu¬
larly since May, 1S65.
JATNOR NOTES.
We found the Brown House, in Ma¬
con, the same popular hotel that she
usually is—one of the best hotels ia
the state.
We see some as pretty horses in Tay¬
lor county as we ever saw.
There is not a field in sight of But
ibr JuA\f Jr fir mi AivhV.wmv
Ye Ed. has become the owner of a
pet gopher since he left home.
In passing Fort Valley, we had the
pleasure of seeing that place, which is
by far the prettiest town we ever saw.
The Harris hotel, close to the rail¬
road, is the loveliest hotel we ever saw.
The streets of this perfectly level place
are so clean and nice tha tit seems to a
passer-by, they are swept as regu¬
larly as the floors of the dwellings.
It is something strange that there
are but very few negroes in Butler
out of two days stay at that place we
saw hardly a dozen colored people.
Butler is a prohibition town and a
very quiet and orderly place. It has a
single-tree and axe-handle factory.

Communicated • i peek’s
Mr. Editor:—Iu your last
issue appeared a ‘■•communication”
over the signature of Uapt. W. ]’. Hol¬
den, in which he states that a Mistake
was made by “Vox Clamantis” m his
sketch of the life and character of Col.
John A. Stephens, which appeared in
the Herald & Journal of the loth of
April. The writer state i, amoug oth¬
er things, that Col. Stephens was the
author of t he bill allowing defendants
in criminal cases to make statements
not under oath; though not a member
of the Legislature at the time, but
secured the services of the member
from Taliaferro to introduce tbe bill.
The bill was passed and is now the law
of the state. Capt. Holden states in
his communication that he was the
author of and drafted said bill and in¬
troduced it in tbe Legislature in 1868.
He states further that Col. Stephens
had a similar bill drawn, which he pre¬
sented to him at the door of the Mali,
and asked him to read it, aud if he
thought well of it to introduce it.
Whereupon he stated that he replied
to Col. Stephens iu the following man¬
ner: “I read it and said in reply that
I had already drawn a bill similar to
the one he gave me, and would intro¬
duce it when my county was called,
&c.” In conclusion the writer wishes
to state that it was not his desire or
intention to detract anything from
Capt. Holaeu’s Legislative career, or
to add anything to the name and fame
of Col. Stephens to which he was not
entitled, but that having been inform¬
ed that Col. Stephens was the author
of said bill, merely stated the same, in
the sketch of his life above referred to.
