FOR HARDEN Ail.
Following is tbe resolution intro
duced by Mr. K. G. Simmons and
adopted by tbo Democratic convan.
lion fast Saturday:
Mir. Robert Hardeman is of long
espartenoe In tbe aflairs of the
State, having been connected with
a department of tbe government of
tbe State for a number of years,
and has thereby become acquainted
thoroughly with all the depart
ments of tbe government. He has
proved a true and faithful officer,
an Incorruptible man, possessing
eminent qualities both private and
public, and is worthy of the suffra
ges of the people; therefore be it

1TIITT8 AMD VEGETABLES.
Dr. W. B. Jones, of Herndon, ad
dresses tbo State Horticultural So
ciety upon a moat Important sub.
Ject, involving the health of tbe
people of this section. He takes
the ground that our people cat too
much meat and grease, and not
ennngh vegetables and fruits; that
the eating of so much meat and
grease produces disease in this
climate, whiio the free and constant
use of Iruit and vegetables, properly
cooked, conduces to health. Ho
also contends tbat by the use of
vegetables and trulls not only
would our people be healthier, but
they could have better food at loss
cost. We all know tbat tho great
and expensive item on our planta-
lions 'is meat, while it should be
lbs least. In this climate, wbero
fruits and vegetables can bo grown
in almost every month or the year,
they ought to be tbe staple fowl.

art of good living bettor than any
people on earth, long ago dis

In 1868 it wa> agreed that Sum-
ter was entitled to the Senator.
A. .1. Williams of Sumter was nomi
nated, but was unfortunately de
feated by W. B. Jones, a Radical.
Jones held his position during the
years 18C8-G9-70. At tbe expire
lion o( Ids terra Macon county was.
under tbe rotation system, enti'led
to furnish the candidate; but when
the convention, or rather the scv.
eral delegates, met at Americus it
was thought best (Macon consent
ing thereto) not to nominate,
whereupon It. ('. Black was adopted
by the Democrats as their candi
date—there was no nomination.
Black was elected and held bis scat
for four years, to wit: 1871-2-3-4.
At tbat time (1871) Macon elected
a Radical to the House of Kepre-
scntatlves in tbe uersun of Little
ton Jones, who was sworn in aud
took bis seat. C. B. Hudson being
a Representative from .Selilcy, in
troduced a resolution inquiring into
his right to a scat and upon ilives
ville, and also the time to have the |
nomination.
A motion that the nomination
lor Senatorand Representative be
had by mass meeting at the court:

On motion the nomination for
Senator and Repre dilative lie held '

One of the bills which Governor
Cleveland did not veto was (or tbe
puuisbmeut ot the too impetuous
baggage smasher. It provides for
a Une ot $50 (or each smash perpe
trated by a baggage-man on a piece
or plunder entrusted to bis charge,
and every State in the Union ought
to have just such a law upon its
statutes.
Choct iw county, Ala., scuds to
the New Orleans Exposition a hew.
ed stick of yellow pine 80 feet long,
ligation it was found that Jones 42 iuckes square in the middle,and
was a resident of Tennessee. His cantaining 11,760 feet, hoard mess-
scat was declared vacant, nnd it
was filled by the olectiou of Mr.
Hill, the present Mayor of Monte-
xuma.
This little digression is intro
duced not as a part of Senatorial
history, but to (ix tbe period of
Macon’s deliverance. At the expi-
ration of Dr. IPa.k’a term, Schley,
believing that she was entitled to
the Senator, presented the name of
C. B. Hudson. Macou county,
however, insisted that it was her
time, and alter much wrangling
tbe convention held that i.t whs
Macon’s right and nominated Col.
Felton. Col. Felton was elected
and served out his term. It was
now certainly time for Schley.
Schloy placed in nomination J. N.
Hudson as her choice. The con
vention met and there was quite an
etlorl made to defeat Mr. Hudson
in the convention, it being admitted
that Schley was entitled to the
nomination, bill bail no right to
uanro lire candidate. In other
words, while the candidate ought
to come from Schley the convention j
hail the right to name tbe person. I
The former rule, however, prevailed I
and Mr. Hudson was nominated !
and elected. At the close of Ids j
term Mr. Gnerry from Sumter was j
elected, and at the expiration of his I
term Msj. Frederic of Macon was
nominated and elected. In every I
instance the county entitled to the |
Senator naming the man.
In each instance it will he seeu ,
that Schley acquiesced aud did her I
part well in tho election of the \
nominees. Maj. Frederic having |
served out his term, will Macon and j
Sumter now deny to Schley tbe
same privilege they have enjoyed?
