Rolierts in the Editorial chair. Success to you all. You have warmest sympathy. The Gubernatorial campaign is Ht ide'nn'd” 'the'" fr/e mis ‘of dm two inost prominent candidates> seem active. \4 e prefer a Souths esc Georgia man but if the race is to be between Simmons and Bacon, we think Simmons would make the best Governor and has the best pros- peet of success in this section. Summon* v* Karon. A friend of Judge T. J. .1..,. snvs: “I see vou quote some one as 7^” ^ ^ what I heard Judge suumons say aiamt the home constituency of the two candidates. He said: ‘I am ready to agree that we shall eall the primaries in B.bbandthe surround- ing counties early. If do not get two-thirds as many delegates as Bacon in these counties, I will at once re ,e from the race. ” “What were the counties he re- te rred to?” "Bibb and those counties that bound it. That is Houston, Craw- ford, Monroe, Jones and iwiggs. lie stated positively that if lie did nnt get two-thirds of the delegates of these counties in primary tions he would at once retire. He said: *lf the people among whom we live, and wlio knew us best, doj not prefer me. I do not care to ask tlie State-at-large for its suffrage. , —Sunday Constitution. Mr. Editor: 1 closed my com¬ munication about Col. \V. T. Black. There were others equally as brave who were brought from the battle¬ field that sleep in the Eliaville cem¬ etery. Let us continue to meet and and perpetuate their memory by de-1 corating their graves with beautiful Bowers.- We pass over three years and reach the spring of 18t>5 ai which time the surrender took place, and ended one of the most desperate conflicts in the history of 11 a- tions. Then came a new era in the history of Schley whose citizens we e called on irre¬ spective of color, to register their names. Then came an order to elect delegates to make ti new con¬ stitution. The whites except two did not vote, but looked on with sts- tonishment and contempt. The j l’ro Vo* Marshal presided while ; icildiers with fixed bayonets guard-, ed the way to the polls. | $ Rev. Jesse Jenkins colored a good Nest jnap but very ignorant order for was elected, j came an every man to lake an oath to carry out Lin- coin’s emancipation prodama- tion; when we had to up- pear i’.i an anti-chamber and each man had to be weighed his measure taken and complexion color of hair &e. Ac., by a man in blue, and then the oath was administered by thf* Marshal, which, when taken liberated $250 or $300,000 worth of hobos'ly earned negro property. This fell like a tempest and .swept pver our once quiet aud peaceful sunny land, one unecensing stream of evil; like a maddened torrent it respected nothing tbat was pure, and right, but swept everything be¬ fore it. The foundations of society were not respected. Our colored population left their old homes for the cities and towns. Many of these ignorant and deluded people were induced by the promise of exorbitant prices to work on what they called government farms, and got nothing at the end of the year. It was not strange tha the black man, experiencing such a sudden transition from bondage to freedom should have a dopted a line of policy which was well calculated to awaken in the minds of tiie whites serious apprehensions of danger. It was known that the blacks had converted houses of wor¬ ship into miilitary centers. They would meet iu the last hours of night urround themselves with an armed guard, to prevent the whites from entering and some of the . most Worthy colored people or- ganized a company and marched through the streets of Eliaville to music. About this time our repre¬ sentative came home on a h >rt vis¬ it aud W’hen fie returned to tiie leg¬ islature bore a petition to that body from our citizens'appealing for pro- teetion The legislature being in session others, with Mr.Kainey were appointed a committee to wait on Gov B Block, wlio after reading the letters appealing for protection told them that lie had no power to in¬ terfere but would write the leaders to desist; whether he ever wrote or not, \ye don't know. About this time according to reports there ap¬ peared in our midst what was called kuklux; who they were or from whence thev came or whither they tyeiuits unknown; L,.'. according to report there was nt least in this country no one seriously hurt, and I jim of the opinion that there is not a colored mail who does not consider that they were a blessing to both white ami black, by nipping in the laid what seemed eminent, a war of races. Thus it may la- seen that we have come through many dangers deep waters and tiery trials, hut we are now buck in the union and back to stay. Charity.

To tell you how one feels while standing >n this vast work, seruti- nizing its old masonry, its queer old cannon, and ambitious sweep along the mountain crest, wereonly folly, In speechless awe wc strolled or sat and gazed in silent wonder. Twelve hundred miles of this gigantic work, built on the rugged, craggy moun¬ tain tops, vaulting over gorges,span¬ ning wild streams, netting the river archways with huge hard bars of copper; with double gates, with swinging doors and bars set thick with iron armor—a w’onder io the world before which the old time classic seven wonders, all gone now i save the pyramid, The’great were merest trifles—toys. pyramid has 85,000,OOo cubit feet; the great wall 0,350,000,(KH> cubit feet. An engineer in Seward’s party here some years ago gave it as his ion that the cost of this wall, tigur- ing labor at tiie same rat", would more than equal that of all the 100,- 000 miles of railroad in the United States! The material it contains would build a wall six feet thick right straight around the globe. Yet this was done in only twenty years, w ithout a trace of debt or bond.

A SAVING ol FIFTY percent, and an INC.’EASE in security ct ONE HUNDRED AND EIGHTY per cont.'s effected by tak¬ ing a policy in the Fidelity Mutual Life Association, OF 1*111 LADELI’Hl 4, in place of a policy on the old level premium system. Twelve millions of insurance; Five thousand members; Eight years’ experience; Guaranteed and incontestable policies; Cash assets and indemnity reserve of $250,000; Expenses limited by contract; Mor¬ tality funds handled exclusively by Trust Co.; Four fixed payments a year—one for expenses and three for mortality; The lowest death rate of any Life Company in America; Cash surrender values or policies rendered self-sustaining at end of life expectation; Saving of 50 per cent in cost of insurance and abso- lute security, are points to which we call special attention. The business of the Kidelty is twice as much as it was in 1884, and the deatli rate is not any larger now, in proportion to the amount at risk,than it was five years ago. Ex-Governor Hartrant, of Pennsyvauia, is organ¬ izing a Mutual Company in Phila¬ delphia, and is consulting L.
