McAkthvh never got a vote in Sumter last Saturday how does that make the Republican feel. Nine out 11 counties went for Gordon last Saturday which makes hi in 54, votes and Bacon 42. tH The Bacon men in town since Saturdays returns have to whistle to keep up their courage. Bacon man No. 1. I bet Gordon carries 75 conntjesout of the ninety that are to-wit: Bacon man No. 2. Why B— you must not weaken so. I aip not weak, but it looks like my candidate is getting so. The Eli Movement. Nine out of eleven Saturday for Gordon is tolerable good consider¬ ing that everything was thought to be fixed for Bacon. This added to Gordons vote makes it 54; Bacon 12; Jones 6; Uninstructed 4. Mark this prediction; Bacou will never get in speaking distance of Gordon again during the campaign. “Joe Inis the “gold wing,” Cordon has the ll tnje. Bacon has no wing at all, But he’il get there, just the same. —Macon Telegraph. We do not knpw where it is that the great and good Telegraph means that Bacon will get; if it means to the shades of private life we thipk that it is undoubtedly correct. If it pieans to the Gubernatorial mansion Die return somewhat ‘cast a shadow’ pven the proposition. The following occurred a few days since: One Bacon man said to another pf the same faith and order “what is the news? “Gordon has swept the field.” “Well, how is that?” “Why Gordon has carried ten out of the twelve counties that had nominaiion Saturday and I belive that out of the ninety to act that he will carry seventy five of them.” “You are weakening it seems on our man Bacon.” » catuRiiate . is * “No I’m not bui our j getting awfully so” and they parted. | - - - - - - slam>i:k. The h...- Mender, of Oe„. W »n seems to know no limits, to keep within bounds.

The Baeon Orrruns organ kml sneakers 1 charire » him with doing ^ everything mean and tenders no evidence except their hare assertions. They charge him with having sold to Joe Brown whiie he was in tlie benate. It he was in the market could lie not Dave sold his influence as Senator or any important measure for more than Joe Brown was able to pay ? They say he may fesign if he is elected Governor. Was tye fhe first 6n the la^t man that ever resigned an office? Does not tlie law allow a man to resign? Has not officers fn this county resigned and nothing though of it? But says one he be- longs to the Atlanta ring composed of Alf Colquit, Joe Brown and Hen¬ ry Grady. Is it uusai for great minds to seek their kind ?Is not the bright¬ est stars found in constellations? Did not Maj. Bacon try to enter this Charmed circle and wa» refused admittance? Is it improbable or impossible for Maj. Baodn to resign if he should be elected Governor ? Does not his record show that his in¬ clinations are in this direction also. When the dark cloud of war over shaddowed our beautiful southland : When every man was needed at the front, when the south expected every man to do his duty, (hat he resigned and come home and was Collecting tax in kind and tor fear that he would have a spell of fever or be ordered to the front resigned that position also. What assurance then have we that Maj. Bacon will not also resign. But says one the war is over with; yes so it is but a man did hot with liis true blade came out fame to perish in twenty years or a century, When tlie white marble shaft over onr beloved Hill shall have crumbled into dust, mothers shall teach children to love ahd revere the memory of John B. Gordon and Hill. Gordon is truly a triend to.the laboring man. A man that reflects credit 011 Georgia and the south; and one that is worthy of our most earnest efforts to elect; one the writer though lie has never and admires . with .. seen him loves ^iib n hole soul.

Man ©I me lSth of An Accurate and Exact Account of the Incident, at Hpottnylvanin Court hww * 1 ’” _ A correspondent to the Constitu- tion asks us to give the exact facts of the occurrence of the twelth of May, and asks if General Lee ever indorsed the account of that heroic action. Our correspondent states that the Bacon men in his neigh- borhood say that General Lee denj. ed that any such thing ever took place. We present a full history of the occurrence as taken from the history of General Lee by Rev. J. Win. Jones, r TV D. TV D.: On the 10th of May, 1864, the con- federate lines were broken near Spottsylvania court house; the eral troops poured into the opening, and a terrible disaster seemed immi- nent, As Early’s old division, now commanded by General John B. Gordon, »vas being rapidly formed to recapture the works, General Lee rode to the front and took his posi- tiop just in advance of the colors of the Fortyninth Virginia regiment, He uttered ,ot . w„r<i-he the man for theatrical display—but 1 . ,, a. . . . , ana . ks he quietly tooK on ni- nar, sat his on war-horse the very per- sonifleation of the genius of battle, it was evident to all that he meant to load the charge, and a mur¬ mur to disapprobation ran down the line. Just then the gallant Gordon spured to his side, seized the reins of his horse, and exclaim¬ with deep anxiety General ,, . ed 1 Lee, this is no place for you. Do go to the rear. These are Virginians and Georgians, sir—men who have never failed, and they will not fail now—will you, boys? Is is neces¬ sary lor General Lee to lead this chiuifi* *2^ Loud cries of “No, no!” “General Lee to the rear',” “General Lee to the rear!” “We always try to do what General Gordon tells us, and we will drive them back if Gen- \\ hile two soldiers led General Lee’s horse to the rear. Gordon put himself in front of his di vision, and oM “ b,,ve ,he "Forward! Charge! and remember your promise to General Lee!” ' Napoleon’s magic words to “Not OW Guard, “The eyes of your eluperor are upon you!” produced fel- a peppier effectand these forward, brave stem- ic^ys swept grandly back five times med the tide, drove their own numbers retook the jj ne ^ an( j conver ted a threatened disaster into a brilliant victory. Hon. John Thomson Mason wrote to General Lee asking him to write out his story of the above inci¬ dent. The following was General h,ee’s reply: Va., December 7, i8¬ Lexington. 60.— My Dear Sir: I regret that my occupations are such as to prevent me from writing at present a narra¬ tive of tlie event which you request In your letter of the 4th iiistnut. The account you give is substan¬ tially correct. Gordon the officer. General was It occurred in the battles around Kpottsylvania Court house, With great respect, vonr friend and servant, R. E. Lee. Hon, John Thomson Mason, Mr AImImi nut’s Next Governor. Hon, Thomas Seay, of Greensboro, the recent nominee of tlie Demo- cratic party of Alabama, studied law under the Hon. A. A. Coleman, of Greensboro, the first cousin of our esteemed fellowmitRten,Captain Frank A. Hervey. Mr. 8eay be- came a member of the firm of Uole- man & Seay in 1870; was elected a member of the Alabama House of Representatives; returned as State Senator from his district, and atter- wards elected to the high office of of President of the Alabama Sen¬ ate, which was equivalent to the position of Lieutenant.Governor. Mr. Seay is a self-made young man, just entering his thirty-eighth year, anti has the honor of distancing Captain Dawson, of Selma; Colonel McKleroy, of Eufaula, and General Henry Clayton, of Clayton. This is the first instance on record in Alabama polities where a high private turned down his superior officers.—Macon Telegraph.

He of is Maj. an p*c° n . »nd he has a perfect right , bn„ but not as a Demoorat, unless j be is willing to abide by tho decis- ion of the Democratic party. In- ! deed, it is a questiou whether it is : not a duty which Maj. Bacon owes *o his party hi disclaim any respon- R he I s not in sympathy with the doctor’s position. It.is noticeable that no one of the organs of >| a j Bacon has a word to against l)r. h eltoil Oil account „f his expressed purpose to do what he can to disorganize and defeat the Democratic party under certain cir- cujnstances, In fact, they publish his speeches and letters and draw attention to them by complimenta- ry comments. We do not believe, I however, that this indicates an in- tention to encourage l)r. Felton in the course he is pursuing, but it does encourage him, however, perhaps, leads him to think that there is a chance for him to reach the Governorship as an indepen- Hont dent. There is one thing that we cer- tainly do not want in this State, and that is an independent candidate for Governor. We shall have had pretty much all the State politics we want this year by the time the State Convention ha, flni.,he<l it, work. Dr. Felton has been out of harmo- ny with the Democratic oftener than in harmony with it, and it is, perhaps, not too much to sav that he ha, „„ love for it, and weald hardly raise Ins hand to save it from ; destruction. Why then is he re- ce j v ipg so niach attention from the people" of the different counties? I Why is it that Maj. Bacou doesn’t rebuke him for asserting that Geu. Gordon, it nominated, cannot have hi , 1tacon ven^Dr. Maj Fe^ton'Vrom cannot of fro?n course nui’lfin^ pre I speeches in his favor, but, ns aiDem- ocrat who believes in Ins party and is anxious for its success, he can make it understood that he has no opportunity blow, and who to strike that party a | rejoice destruction. apparently, would at its Dr. Fel- ton has no claim vet'bc upon the DeuiO- i cratic Vi nartv ' anil ? 1 1 nridonrU pretends to to of spend him, for The it, 1 Let less Democrats they have beware to do ! with him the better off thev Will be. There is no doubt that he has al- ready done Maj. Bucon injury. The men who compose the rank and file of the Democratic party, and who can stand always bv be depended upon to staiHi uy its its nrinoinles print 1 pies, are are, doubt- UOUUt- lots wondering w hy Maj. Bacon con- tinues to permit Dr, Felton to be his leading advocate on the stump. If there is a bolt in the convention through Hr. Felton’s influehc Mr. Bacon will have to bear a great deal of the blame for it. If be is wise he will take an early opportunity to make nidKeu it known Known tnat that be ne doesn’t aoesn t on ap prQV£ of I)r. r 01 ton s plv\n to bolt the convention if Gen. Gordon is nominated.

They have great regard for him, but they have greater regard for their party. Receipts. An excellent way to remove dan¬ druff' from the head, which is some¬ times very troublesome, is to wash the head in camphor and borax—an ounces of each put into a pint and a half of cold water and after words rub a little oil into the scalp. To glaze shirt front, melt together with a gentle heat one ounce white wav and two ounces of spermaceti; prepare in the usual way a suffici* ent bosoms; quantity put into of starch it piece for of a enamal dozen a the size of a hazelnut; this will give clothes a beautiful polish, To prevent the face from chap¬ bottle ping in winter, have in a two ounce and one ounce of bay rum one once of glycerine and four drops of carbolic acid; this is a very pleas¬ ant preparation for the skin; put a little on the face before going out into the wind or at night before re¬ tiring. To take scorch out of clothes, put the article where bright sunshine onions, will fall extract on it; the peel juice; and Cut slice half two | up ounce of fine white soap and add to juice two ounces of fuller’s earth and a half a half pint of vinegar; boil all together; when cool, spread over the scorched clothing and let remain until dry; then wash and boil out the articles and the scorch yvill disappear unless burned so bad- as to break the threads.
