% Charged With Speculation.
—
A sensation was created last week when Repre
sentative Anderson of Chatham charged on the floor
of the house that officers of the Southern Cotton As
jjp sociation had been mixed up with bucket shops, and
jjfi were speculating m futures. The charge was all the
more a surprise because the association has been
fighting speculators.
jjjt An official investigation has been called for by
President Harvie Jordaf), but has been postponed
several times already. So far Mr. Anderson’s charges
have proved true, as it is openly acknowledged that
A. A. Fairchild, a trusted office man, did own an
interest recently in an Atlanta brokerage company,
-jjt and it has since been proven that Richard Cheatham,
-sft secretray of the association, has been placing orders
for futures for another party, though pretending to
fight sDeculators.
% ROTTENEST YET
| IN THE CAMPAIGN.
The Atlanta Journal of Sunday
"2* last outdid its own loud smelling
record of brassy gaul and lying
insinuation 111 two editorials
headed respectively: “What
■3P Judge Russell Stands for,” and
“Clark Howell out of Race For
Governor.”
After denouncing Hon. Richard
B. Russell’s platform, the Journal
announces:
“Such is the platform; such
is the patriotism; such is the
statesmanship of Judge Rich
'll 4 ard Russell; ring tool and
railroad puppet, who offers
-a. himself for governor of Geor
g*a.”
No man who now or ever called
"2* himself a Democrat, or has any
■>r regard for truth or moral de
cencv, can read the following
-jjt from the second tirade referred
1 to, without feeling his blood boil
o, at the vile insinuation of the rot- ’
jT tenest aggregation of politictl de- i'
**r ciet ever allowed to combine; I
against the white people of Geor
g‘a:
■jjjt “But this is true at any rate —
no man who casts a vote in
the primary for either Mr.
Howell, Judge Russell, Col.
w Estill or James M. Smith has
■3r any idea for whom it will fi-
Jjjt naily be counted. He may
sL think he is voting for Mr.
Howell—
Or for Col. Estill, but—
He can’t know of his own ,
knowledge which one. It is
-jjt the ring politicians* who will
make his decision for him not (
a the voter himself. ; ’ 1
The days of reconstruction nev-:
2 er witnessed any blacker deeds
* than this so-called Democratic
•3r paper attributes to the white men
of Georgia. If Hoke Smith and j
t his filthy mouth-piece know be-'
forehand that the Democrats of 1
JT Georgia are a set of thieves stand
ing ready to steal the ballots of
■3P honest men why are they so anx
ious to take part in its primary ,
and drag into it also its sworn (

ACADEMIC BUILDING—U. B. INSTITUTE
OLD SOLDIER RETURNS
AFTER LONG YEARS.
A remarkable history of an old
Confederate soldier has just come
to light. In 1802 Anderson Pitt
man of Habersham county went
to the war, leading a wife at home.
He served until captured, and
was kept in prison until the close,
when he killed one of the prison
guards and was sentenced to life
imprisonment, and has been in
confinement forty years. Last
week he returned to Georgia to
find that his wife had married an
other man years ago, and was as
she thought, again a widow. She
had moved to Bartow county, but
friends of the old man soon had
him in the presence of his wife,
who had mourned him dead.
BUMPER CORN CROP.

MT. VERNON, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, AUG; 2, 1906.
Facts Concerning* the Estahlisment and Kqiiipinrnt
of the Hit** School—Additions to be* Made.
The establishment of the Union Baptist Institute here was a real epoch in
the history of Montgomery county. The movement tiivt took shape in November,
1908, and was made by Dr. J, C Brewton before the IVll’air Baptist Association.
At his suggestion, the recommendation to build l l l ■' school was made to the associ
ation, and contiguous associations were invited to join in the movement. , The
invitation was accepted by tlie Daniel Association, and a joint, committee trom the
two entered enthusiastically into the scheme. Aflcr considering bids Irom the
towns of Mcßae, Vidalirt, and Ailov and Mt. Vernon, as one town, it was decided to
build on ground half way between the latter places.
At this place ten acres on a beautiful bill were donated by Mr. D A. Fount
ain, and the plat was added to by Warren Crawley, a worthy colored man. who
generously gave five acres more. No more beaut il ul spot could have boon selected
in the state. A contract was let for the main building and two dormitories, the
three to Q>st $25,500. Afterward a fine kitchen, and dining hall was added, and
the plant with all improvements is now worth about. SIB,OOO.
In the fall of 1904 the Tattnall County Association joined in the work, and
the school is now held, as a chartered inst itution, by the three associations.
Dr. J. C. Brewton, the moving and guiding spirit 111 the worthy enterprise,
was wisely chosen president and financial agent, and soon gathered around him a
capable and enthusiastic faculty. 011 September 12. 190■>, Ihe school opened with
an attendance of 160 students, which increased to 850 in the lilt. h month, necessi
tating the increise of the teaching force from seven to a faculty of twelve.
The pat,r mage basso far surpassed th/ sanguine hopes of the promoters that
additions are being arranged for to the dormitories, and an additional academic
building will have to lie built. Within a few months the plant will he equipped
with a light and water plant and bakery. Farm lands to the amount of 102 aeiva
have been purchased, and agriculture and dairying a re'to he prominent features.
Literary societies have been organized and a splendid library is being collected.
The course of study is very complete, and the musical department, t he departments
of oratory, physical culture and manual training are kept, up to a high standard.
High, dry and beautifully located, and tilted tip for modern education, no
school can offer superior ad vantages to the children of South Georgia. At the
first term many places m Georgia, two in Florida and one in 'Texas were represented.
The cuts in this paper give only a faint idea of the beauty and imposing ap
pearance of the splendid buildings and grounds. 'I lie fall term begins Sepl. 4th,
and a large attendance is already assured.

gressman William O. Brantley
was today interviewed concerning
an article recently appearing in jrjf
The Atlanta Evening News in
which he is pictured as being
“groomed” ns a “dark horse”
candidate in the event, of a dead
locked gubernatorial convention. .g.
lie said : &

movement, if it exists. It is new
to me if there is any such move
nient.,
“I am not n candidate directly
or indirectly for governor, and 'F’
am neither seeking nor expecting ;{£
the nomination to come to me. J *
,am supporting Colonel J. 11. Es- jo
till, and have no interest in his
candidacy other than rn earnest
(Icsiie to Sec him v.i ■. In my
1 judgment, his nomination would jjfe*
he t lie wise solution of the prose fc
i disturbed political situation. If
called into office, lie would have
no entangling alliances upon the
one hand to embarrass him, and
lio deep-seat f/d opfln-iil inn upon jjf
; the ot her hand to handicap him.
lie has demonstrated Ids ability
to Ho big things. His character is
unassailable. His patriotism lias
i been tested and proven. His dem
i ocrucy is without any frills. He is
u plain democratic democrat, who jg
believes in his party, lie has the jg
i old-time notions that is the duty
of the legislature to make laws
and the duty of the judiciary to
i construe them, and of the e.vee

, ‘‘There isn’t an issue pending
before the people that a governor >F
has any po Acr to ffolVe,' which
can’t be trusted to him as fully *
and completely as to any other
candidate.
“In addition to ail this, his
nomination would be a graceful
uml well deserved recognition of a l ifr
large and growing section that tor
seventy nine years has been de
mod the right or tins privilege of
naming a governor.” 3,.
Congressman Brantley was y
pressed for nti answer to the direct
question whether or not he would jj£-
accept the nomination if tendered
him. He said 7
“I do hot consider that question X.
