There was one fight on the streets

Mr. Bill Saville of Maysville was in

Miss Eva Butler, who has been on
a visit to Clarksville, returned home
last Tuesday evening, much to the
delight of her many friends.
Judge William Griffeth and Mr.

in the city on last Tuesday. They
are both clever citizens.
Several of our people will leave next
Monday for a pleasure trip among the
mountains of North Georgia. They
will be gone about ten days.
Mrs. Robert Shields and Mrs.

Rev. George T. King, who has
been at Lithia Springs for several

are glad to state is much improved in
health. It is not known yet what
time he will return hom£.
The teachers of Jackson county are
saying a great many complimentary
things about Professor G. G. Bond,
the expert of the Teachers’ Institute
of this oounty for the past two years.
They say the more you know him the
better you like him.
Professor G. L. Gunnels and wife
are in Toccoa this week, attending
the Methodist District Meeting of the
Elberton District. The people in and
around Jefferson are delighted with
the Trustees’ selection of Professor
Gunnels as Principal of Martin Insti
tute for next year.
Catlett Moore, colored, the janitor
of Martin Institute, says that the
Trustees of that institution make
changes in the Faculty occasionally,
but that he is one part of Martin In
stitute that is always retained. Cat
lett has been growing fat eating wed
ding cake since last commencement.
Mr. George H. Suddeth purchased
the I. T Austin place, in Chandler's
district, a few weeks ago, and now
comes the news that he has swapped
that place for Mr. J. A. Suddeth's
farm, near town. Mr. G. H. Suddeth
will move here this fall and Mr. John
A. Suddeth will go to his place in
Chandler’s district.
In this issue will be found
forms of 1892 of the three political
parties—Democrat, Republican and
Populist. We publish these platforms
for the benefit and convenience of our
readers. They are interesting docu
ments, and wheu you peruse your
paper it will be well for you to put it
away in some place where you can al
ways have the platforms at your com
mand.
W. A. Fountain, the colored school
teacher of this place, is a soon one.
For some time he has been iu love,
bat the woman’s father didn't want
to give up his daughter. She lived
over at Elberton, and Fountain went
over to see her several times, and she
was always ready, but her father’s
consent he could not get. Fountain
determined not to be outdone. So he
had some of her friends to invite her
here, ard she came over, and while
here Fountain soon got the Methodist
preacher up to Ike Stevens s, where
Fountain soon was tied to a woman
so hard and fast that he could not
break loose if he wanted to.
THE POPULISTS IN CONVENTION.
They Nominate Candidates for the Gen
eral Assembly.
The Populists met here last
Wednesday to nominate candidate*
for Representatives and Senator.
Men, women and children all came to
celebrate the anniversary of the Dec
laration of Independence, and the dele
gates came to nominate their men.
There was a large number of Dem
ocrats here to see what their Populist
brethren intended to do. The Demo
crats .came, they saw, and they will
conquer.
At 10 o’clock the people were
called into the court room. Colonel
J. N. Twitty mounted the stand, took
the gavel in his hand and called the
meeting to order.
Colonel Mahaffey moved, and it was
carried, that a committee on creden
tials be appointed, one from each dis
trict. One delegate from each dis
trict was appointed, and Colonel Ma
haffev was added for good measure.
The committee remained out in one
of the jury rooms about 30 minute*,
and Colonel Mahaffey read the report
of that committee.
Then came the nomination for can
didates for Representatives and Sen
ator. Colonel Mahaffey put in nom
ination the names of George D. Ben
nett and L. F. Sell as suitable candi
dates for the legislature.
No other names were put in nomi-
nation, and they were unanimously
elected.
Colonel T. S. Johnson’s name was
then put before the house for Senator
from the Thirty third Senatorial dis
trict. Some man put Rev. W. H.
Bridges’s name in nomination, but he
received a significant wink, and after
a little consultation his name was
withdrawn and Mr. Thomas S. John
son was unanimously chosen, not
withstanding his declaration, on last
Saturday night, at Oak Grove, that he
had no political aspirations and would
accept no office in the gift of the peo
ple, from bailiff to President. "We
now see that Mr. Johnson’s
saind has changed.
Delegates were chosen for the Con
gressional convention, to meet in
Gainesville July 25th, to nominate a
candidate for Congress, and Colonel
Mahaffey moved that they be in
structed to cast their votes for Colo
nel J. N Twitty. Colonel Mahaffey
put the motion, and it was unani
mously carried. So Colonel Twitty’s
Congressional boom was formally
launched Wednesday.
Then Judge Mahaffey, who was
once judge of the county court in
Jackson county, and tried to remain
so, but the court was illegal, and who
was an applicant for the judgeship of
the city court, read the following res
olutioD, which was adopted :
Resolved, That we ratify our State and Na
tional platforms; that we pledge the party to
make all offices elective by the people; we In
sist that there be a Juror re visor from each
militia district: we ojpose extra pay to the
Ordinary; we favor the reduction of salaries
25 per cent.; we Insist that the City Court for
Jackson county be abolished.
Then Dock Dowdy, who was com
plaining some two months ago that
the Populists had promised him $25
in the last campaign, and hadn’t paid
him a red sou, and that ha would be
darned if he was not going to quit the
Third party, introduced, and it was
passed, the following resolution:
Whereas, There has been much complaint
on the part of all parties of bribery, fraud and
Intimidation In elections.
Be It, therefore, resolved, That we shall In
sist upon a free ballot and a fair count, and we
condemn the use of whisky, money and all
other corrupting means In elections.
We guess the Populists have paid
their debts.
The meeting then adjourned and
retired to the court house yard, where
basket dinners were spread.
After dinner the crowd congregated
at the court house steps, and
Rev. King Minish opened the ex
ercises with prayer. He prayed a
good long prayer and prayed for the
success of the party, whereupon one
mischievous boy said he didn't think
that prayer would be answered.
Then the song, “I Am Bound for
the Promised Land,” was sung in an
old-fashioned, camp-meeting way.
Rev. King Minish then sang a solo.
It was a daisy, too.
Messrs. Johnson, Bennett and
Sell then accepted the nominations
tendered to them.
Colonels Mahaffey and Twitty then
shelled the Democratic party.
The Rev. King Minish concluded
the ceremonies with a fervent prayer,
wt are told.
CLOSING EXEBCISES
Of the Jaekson County Teachers’
Institute.
W did not make a full report of
the doings of the Institute last week
fiom the fact that your paper was
published before the work of that
body was completed, I therefore beg
a little space for that purpose.
I must compliment the young ladies
and young gentlemen who so kindly,
faithfully and efficiently performed
their duties as members of the choir.
Although they had no opportunity of
practicing the pieces rendered, the
music was very fine indeed, and con
tributed largely to the pleasure of the
occasion.
The members of the association
were very much gratified to learn
from Professor Bond that Jackson
county had contributed more money
for the building of a permanent home
on Cumberland Island for the teachers
of the State than any other county,
except, perhaps, those in which are
located some of the largest cities.
But, while the teachers of Jackson
county have cause to b * proud of this
showing, there is yet another thing
for which they and the entire popula
tion of the county have reason for re
joicing. Friday, the 29th day of
June, 1894, was a red letter day for
the cause of education in our dear old
county. On that day, by a very large
majority of those present, the teach
ers determined to make the next an
nual meeting not only an Institute,
but a fair for the exhibition ‘of al!
kinds of school woik, both of teach
ers and pupilp, such as map drawing,
maps in relief, language lessons, speci
mens of penmanship, work in arithme
tic, algebra, geometry, and, in fact,
all kinds of school work. That, in
my humble judgment, has been the
most important step for the cause of
education ever taken in Jackson
county, and the Institute of 1894 con
sequently the most important body of
teachers ever assembled within her
borders. Hail, auspicious day for
the children of Jackson county!
Hail, auspicious day !!
I trust the young teachers will all
come up to our assembly a year hence
with the full determination of enter
ing heartily into all the work. To
fail to teach properly before a body
of intelligent, sympathetic teachers is
no disgrace—to fail before your class
is a disgrace.
The committee on resolutions, con
sisting of Professors J. N. Ross, C. L.
Gunnels and A. H. Stapler, made tie
following report, which, on motion,
was adopted:
We, the teachers of Jackson county, in an
nual Instltue assembled, desire to show our ap
preciation of whatever tends to elevate and en
noble the teacher’s profession, and especially of
the lasting benefits received during: the ses
sion now closing; therefore, be It
Resolved, That we renew our devotions to our
chosen profession and and ;clare a determination
to give the schools of Jackson county the bene
nt of the most excellent methods set forth In
tho exercises of the Institute during the pres
ent session.
Resolved, That the thanks of this body are
due and are hereby tendered our distinguished
expert, G. G. Bond, lor his elegant and able
manner of presenting every subject taken under
consideration.
Resolved, That the courteous manners, devo
tion to duty and able services of our County
School Commissioner shall ever command our
admiration and commendation.
Resolved, That the thanks of this Institute
be extended to the choir for their faithful at
tendance and the sweet music discoursed dur
ing the week; also, to the Trustees of Martin
Institute for the use of their excellent school
building, and to the hospitable citizens of Jef
ferson for the manifold courtesies extended to
us while In their midst.
J. N. Ross,
C. L. Gunnels,
A. H. Staplkr,
Committee.
Before closing, I respectfully sug
gest to the honorable Board of Edu
cation to employ Professor G. G.
Bond as the expert for our next an
nual Institute, first, because I don’t
think they can secure a better, and
second, because, having taught us
last year and the present, he is in a
better position to do us good. If a
new man was employed he would be
very apt to go ever the same ground
Professor Bond has already gone
over, and consequently would be un
interesting, and hence would fail to
benefit us. S. P. Orr.
Attention! Confederate Veterans.

Republican Meeting-.
The Republicans of Jackson county
met in the court house according to
appointment.
S. D. powdy called the meeting to
order at 2 o’clock and announced
ready for business.
T. A. Norris nominated C. H. Bry
son for secretary. Green Hopson
seconded the mctioD, and he was
unanimously elected.
The Chairman stated t’ae object of
the meeting to be to elect a district
or executive committee of the county.
The Chairman stated ikat no parly
would be considered to day but the
Republican.
A. J. Pittman moved, and motion
wrs carried, for a committee to be ap
pointed to get up districts and the
committee.
The Chairman appointed W. M.
Witt, T. A. Norris and W. A. Stevens.
Then the executive committee was
chosen, as follows:
Jefferson, W. M. Witt.
Minisb, A. J. Pittman.
Harrisburg, W. M. Dowdy.
Wilson, Albert Griffeth.
Miller, George Henderson.
Cunningham, Henry Watson.
Randolph, Sam Pettyjohn.
Hoschton, Berry Moon.
House, West Hoscb.
Chandler, Richard Harris.
Clarksboro, Stewart McLester.
Newtown, Smith Jackson.
Santa Fe, Adam Bell.
C. H. Bryson was made Secretary
for two years in place of H. L. Gar
lington, who has joined the Third
party.
The Chairman made a most won
derful speech, which was highly con
mended on all sides. He i aid that
if the colored people of this county
ever exp ct to win fortune and be
truly recognized in the race of life it
must be by their own efforts. Resptci
yourself and the people will respect
you. If you expect to do anything
you mist bo competent; need not
expect to told office unless you are
competent.
T. A. Norris made a few timely
remarks.
Henry Aiken made a most wonder
ful speech against the colored people
being divided. He said they are all
R-publicans and should not align
themselves with either one of the
other parties. His speech was a
lively one in all particulars. The
party of ours must take up the State
and local tickets and examine them
thoroughly, and then look after tho
interest of the colored man.
The following preamble and reso
lution was passed:
Whereas, Some of our people are
making a mistake by joining them
selves to other parties and creating a
division in our ranks; therefore, be it
Resolved, That we examine the can
didates put forth, and that we vote
as solid Republicans for those whom
we think will better look after the in
terests of county and State.
Meeting then adjourned to assem
ble in the court house at Jefferson
July 21st, 1894, at 10 o’clock. All
Republicans are invited to be present
on that day.
S. D. Dowdy, Chairman.
C. H. Bryson, Secretary.

manner that every one were severed

Falsely Accused.
Mr. Editor:— Please allow m
space in your worthy journal to say a
few words in my own behalf and ii.
my own defense.
lam charged with being a traitor
to my race. It is said that I sold my
self to the Democrats, and also hired
a man to work on my farm while J
traveled around and made speeches
for the Democratic party. I am ac
cused of leaving my own party, and
many other things. Now, who would
or could believe such reports f It is
a well known fact in Jackson county
that I have never made a political
speech, in this or any other county, in
all my life. I have never even visited
a political meeting except in the court
house; neither have I ever gene to
any family and made a speech. Why
men should tell such talcs is for the
want of sense au£ from a lack of prin
ciple. As for m’y Liring men on my
farm, I think I have the right to do
so if I choose, and it is no one’s busi
ness. I say that not a man in the
Democratic nor any other party has
offered me one cent, or anything else,
for my support, for everybody who
was at our meeting in Jefferson knows
how I stand.
Gentlemen, be it known to the
world that I have made no pledges to
any party save the Republican party,
and whenever it is possible for me to
support my party I will do so, for I
propose to be true to the office my
party gave me. My party placed me
at its head with the understanding
that we would lay aside both the Peo
ple's Party and the Democratic party
and organize independently, looking
solely to the interest of our own party
—if we had a ticket to support it, but
if we had no ticket of our own we
would take up the next best ticket.
The men who helped get up this
meeting worked for three months to
elect me Chairman, and by their own
votes placed me at the head of the
Republican party in the county, and
they promised to stand by the party.
But some of these men have helped
to organize a People’s party sines
then. They withdrew from our party
without cause and wont, and organized
another party and now charge me with
going off and leaving them. It is the
most absurd thing in the world. I
am right where they placed me, and
doing just as they instructed me. I
begged them not to organize anew
party, and offered to compromise, but
they would not heed.
If the above statement is not true,
I am ready to meet any call aud stand
the test.
Gentlemen, if you will confess your
faults I will freely forgive you of the
charges you made against me ; if not,
[ will defend myself at whatever cost.
lam under no obligations to either
party. So if you will come back right
we will shake hands across the bloody
sea and go arm and arm in our own
party ;if not, let the fight come. If
you can win by falsehood, the victory
is yours ; but the prophet Joel says,
‘‘Behold, the day cometh, eayeth the
Lord, the ploughman will overtake
the reaper.” S D. Dowdy.
A Good Man Gone.
On Friday night last at 8 o’clock
Mr. James T. Johnson, a mostwoitby
citizen of Jackson county, passed
away, after along and painful iliness
with typho malarial fever.
For three weeks he had been a
great sufferer, but, until a very short
time previous to his death, no serious
apprehensions were felt as to his con
dition.
Mr. Johnson leaves a stricken wife
and seven small children to mourn
his death. He has been cut down in
the full blush of manhood, when life
opened out before him with every
prospect of long life and prosperity.
He was a man much beloved by his
neighbors and friends, who will unite
their tears with those of his family
over his untimely death. He was a
member of the Presbyterian
church, and was a faithful
Christian and a good citizen.
The funeral took place on Saturday
afternoon, the services being conduc
ted by Rev. Dr. Lane, of this city.—
