ECONOMY.
It is the economical mnn who succeeds
in life ami is happy. Ilia wife always wears
good clothes, and his children slwavs
have plenty of syrup on their bread. He
is not worried to death by dims, ami be
don't have to sneak np a back alley in
order In avoid Ike man he owes. By nn
eeonoinical mnn I don’t mean a stingy
man, for there's n big difference between
economy nnd stinginess. Yonr stingy
man don't enjoy anything, not even bis
breath, for he's afraid to draw a full
breath for fear he won’t have enough to
last the day ont.
Economy means In btty the best at the
lowest prices, nnd tlmt is the reason why
all economical people btiy their furniture
of I). B. Hill, for they know tlmt bis fnr-
nitnte is welt nnd neatly made, durable
and handsome, and sold at priecs us low
as good furniture enu be sold for. They
know that lie keeps n largo stock
and that they enn make n good selec
tion, get wlmt they want, and there is
more in that than you inny think, for
when you buy something you do not
wont you are never satisfied with it.
There is another thing yonr economi
cs! man does—lie nlwaya buys as many
tilings us possible at one store, knowing
Hint when ho runs tip a good bill lie can
nlwaya get a good reduction, anil that is
another reason why lie buys at Hill’s
Furniture Storo, for Ihero liccan not only
tlnd ail kinds of furniture, but bo can
imy dishes, crockery, lamps, silver and
plntod ware, enrtains, cutlery, and in fact
almost anything to set up housekeeping.
Yonr economical man knows ell this and
district, fur representative in the
next congress of the United States.
Judge Crisp bowed to the imdi-
enee amid the applause, and thus
addressed them:
Fellow Citizens: 1 don't lie-
lieve tin* Indies are embraced in
that term, in fact, I don’t know
that tlie.v would like to be em
braced :it all, lint I desire they
shall be embraced in my remarks.
I appear before yon as the demo
cratic nominee nnd candidate for
congress in ibis district, to say a
few words upon the political issues
ol this campaign. There exists
now, as there iias always existed,
political parties, which control and
administer in ntlnirs of govern-
Iz Jim Smith: I’zready to answer
fur myself.” This is the very case
witli Judge Harrell, lie is ready to
answer for himself. Wo arc, there
fore driven to a history of bis past
career to see wliat we may expect
of him in the future. These inde
pendents have a new word—not
nominated but indorsed. They arc
indorsed by the republican party.
Wu lind Judge Harrell indorsed in
this county by Bill K ng and S.
Slade. You know the political
history of these men it they have
any; it lias not extended to the
other side ol' the district. They
not only indorse Judge Harrell,
but say, “we indorse the adminis
tration of Chester A. Arthur, presi-
ment. The individual opinion of dent of the United States, us being
no one man lias ever stood out w j 8Ci just and patriotic;” indorse
against the principles of parties, j t | 10 administration than which even

claimed tlmt we wi le out of the

Shortly before Bullock’s adminis
tration the judges were removed
from our benches, and under him,
military officers—non commission
ed officers—were appointed to ad
minister justice and judgment,
who knew nothing of the law, nor
did they care. They were simply
the agents of tlmt organization, the
freedmau's bureau, and deuided
questions involving the property,
and even the liberty of citizens.
Their object was to assist tile freed-
j man but they only degraded the
BAGGING, TIES, j whites and were no help to the lie-
i groes. When the Democrats or-

But to bring it down to our own
corrupt; indorse Arthur, a high
ward politician, who was turned,
try President Hayes, from Iris office
in Now York for improper admin
istration of his authority. Judge
him by the company lie keeps. In
this campaign be reminds us very
much of the widow lady who own
ed a little dco culled Fido, and as
regiment after regiment of the con
federate army passed by the gate
Fido would rush out and bark fur
iously. Finally the lady came run
ning out much excited. “iSoine-
body catch Fido,” snid she, “catch
Fido or lie will bite the army.” So
I am afraid if somebody don't
cnteli Judge Harrell lie will lilte the
army.
He says in some of his tracts—
lie issues a new one every day—
tlmt this country should no longer
lie iu the hands of politicians, but
should be governed by business
men—claiming tlmt he is a busi
ness man. Let us sec; lie was a
delegate to the convention that
nominated General Grant, u repub
lican; lie was u delegate to the con
vention which nominated Guneral
Hancock, u democrat; he was a
member of the convention that
formed the constitution under
which we now live; lie lias attended
every session of the legislature,
and if there is a man in Georgia
tlmt 1ms traded in politics it is
Judge Harrell. He also appeals
to the agricultural interest, know
ing this district consists largely of
fanners, aud claims that he is a
farmer. He owns a farm, and is
one ol those men tlmt have farm
ing done. I don’t suppose he knows
ally more about farming than a boy.
His interests is with tbu farmers,
and so is yours, and so is mine. It
is tlio only indcjicml^t calling,
nor and
respect. You may see^fcom his
political career how much S(lie lie
devoted to Ids farm; about such a
farmer as Governor Colquitt or
Colonel Hurdcuian. Hu goes to
the agricultural conventions and
sets upon the platform, why, 1 am | fair vote,
unable to tell. I have beard that'
they put these men of science up
there as a warning—a warning that
others, seeing the errors into which
pin,but all without success. “Well,”
saUi lie as lie shoved the hot iron
into lire cooling tank, “I know
wlmt I will make—I’ll he blamed
if don’t mnku a failure.” I think
Judge Harrell will do very much
like the boy did.
The third district has never fail
ed to elect their nominee in the
past. Shall they do so now? Iu
tiie seventh and ninth districts, in
dependents have run and been elec
ted over the democratic nominee,
but such has not been the case with
We were opposed once by a
straight out democrat in person-of
Jack Brown, and again by a re
publican in the same individual,
who seems to assume a variety of
characters. Then Parker floated
under the name of greenback, lib
eral nnd—I don’t remember it all
—but the third bus never failed to
give a large majority to the demo
cratic nominees, and when I enter
ed the race I felt confident that if
received the nomination von
would give me the same support
you bnvo heretofore given that hon
orable gentleman wbo is now your
representative.
Now, my fellow-citizens, let me
say a few words to you in regard
to Governor. I was opposed to
Mr. Stephens ns an original ques
tion, I will admit, but he has re
ceived the nomination nnd should
have our support. He was educa
ted at Athens through the charity
of some ladles and graduated with
honors. Nearly forty years ago he
was elected to Congress and at the
time of the war no one was more
respected in WnsbhYgton than Al
exander Stephens. Ho was elected
to the second htghestrplacc in the
Confederate States' and Jaftbr tllb
war returned again to his seat in
Congress. That he has not always
done right I will admit No man
or party is infallible. He has con
tributed to tbo education of more
than a hundred young men in Ga.
—is that nothing? What lias Ghr-
troll done for us? It has been
many years since Georgia eleoted
a historical character for her Gov
ernor nnd it will he nn honor to
her in the eyes of the world to be
stow that office on Alexander Ste
phens.
Gen. Oartrell is before the peo
ple as a liberal, a party which con
sisted of four men who held a con
vention at the Markham house in
Atlanta, aud plotted to defeat the
organized democracy of Georgia.
He has been a candidate in every
convention since the war and bis
votes have ranged from one to ten.
You have not seen as I have the
clerks ol'tbc republicans in Atlan
ta daily sending out papers advo
cating tlio support of Gen. Gartrell.
It is a policy ol the shrewd Presi
dent tlmt was practiced ia New
York. It is to break down the de-
moorauy by division. They give
all the money and influence they
exact from Government clerkB to
support tbe independents and break
up organized democracy. I feel as
conlidcnt of Mr. Stephen's election
as I do that tlio day will break to
morrow, but if we give a majority
of twenty or thirty thousand the
republicans watching us irom tbc
North will seo bow that we bare
fallen from our seventy-live thou
sand majority and will tbink that
they, with their money and infln-
encc will be able to control the elec
tion two years. At the last elec
tion for Congressman but halt tbe
vote ot this county was polled; sup
pose this neglect should have led
to defeat, wlmt would have been
the feelings of those mon wbo knew
tlmt the liberty and virtue of tbe
countiy had been sacrificed by
- * a full
their neglect. Let us have
