WEEKLY a TIMES.
J. A. FOUCHK, Editor.
Entered at thepostoffioe at McDonough
(ia., as second -class mail^natter.
i
McDonough. Ga., Jan. G, 1893.
Now, let’s relegate politics to the
rear for at least two years, aud gof to
work in unity for the building up of
our town, county and section.
The through train from Albany to
Atlanta, via the Columbus Southern
and Georgia Midland and Gulf road,
is catching considerable through (ravel.
We’ll run for bailiff if the boys will
Inrnish the brass band and cigars.
What say you, boys ? Remember
this will be your last chance for two
years to come. Don’t all speak at
once. Now is the time to subscribe.
The East Tennesse railroad has an
nounced that during 1893 the rates for
clergymen will be 2 cents a mile in
stead of half fare, and that this rate
will be allowed only to such preachers
as have no other vocation.
The Republican party having been
overwhelmingly defeated, horse, foot
and dragoous, on a battleground of its
own deliberate choosing at the last elec
tion, must either disband or promptly
espouse the principles enunciated at
Omaha in July, 1892, or its scattered
and demoralized cohorts will be obsor
bed by either the Democratic or l*eo
pie’s party. —Exchange.
This open aud shameless corruption
is noticed by the Rome Tribune. It
says : “The open and shameless efforts
of floaters to extort money from candi
dates in this county has come to be a
scandal of the first magnitude. In
most cases the corruption of voters has
been charged to candidates for office,
but in this instance it is the dead-beat
voter who takes the aggressive, seek
ing to sell his vote in the open market,
and to effect the sale by duress.”
Let every man in ami arouml Mc-
Donough who feels an interest in their
town or pride in their school, put his
ehoulder to the wheel and push, push
all-together, push without ceasing for
the upbuilding of the school and the
town is sure to builid up with it. Send
your boys and girls to school at iiomk.
as long as they can be taught here, then
it is ample time to send them out in the
world from under the watchful care of
parents and home training, lluibi up
your home enterprise first then if you
care to, branch out.
The Carroll Free Press, comment
ing upon and commending the reasons
given by Governor Northeu for vetoing
the educational bill, remarks further :
“It seems to us that the Governor
might have added as another objection,
that such studies as the constitution of
Georgia and the United Slates, which
our wisest men cpnnot well under
stand, as they differ so in their inter
pretation of those documents, could
hardly be classed as ‘elementary
branches.”
Let's Have Them.
When January the Ist, eighteen
hundred and ninety-four rolls around,
we hope to see
McDonough with a population of
sixteen hundred.
With a bank in operation within her
borders.
With a cotton factory in full blast,
manufacturing the “fleecy staple” here
at home, and giving employment to the
people.
Also a fruit and vegetable cauuery,
consuming the large crop of fruit that
annually goes to waste, and giving our
farmer friends another source of rev
enue.
We hope to see a handsome new ed
ifice erected in place of the old M.
E. Church building.
We desire to see our people realizing
and taking advantage of the splendid
railway facilities with which they are
blessed.
But above aud beyond all this is the
desire to “see our brethreu dwelling iu
unity together,” all possessed with that
push aud go aheaditiveness that never
fails to bring success, it matters not in
what channel it be applied.
Do You Want a Public Office?
There are 180,000 offices within the
gift of the new Admiuistation, aud now
is the time for those seeking public
employment io take proper steps to
secure one of these lucrative positions.
All who are interested should at ouce
send for a copy of the Uuuited States
Blue Book. It is a register of all Fed
eral offices and employ meuts in each
State and Territory, the District of Co
lombia and abroad with their salaries,
emoluments and duties ; shows who is
eligible for appointment, question asked
at examinations, how to make an appli
cation and how to push it to success,
and gives besides a vast amount of im
portant and valuable information re
lative to Government positions never
before published. Handsomely bound
in cloth. Price, 7 i> cents, post paid.

2,330 VOTES FOLLED.
The Democrats Carry the County by
an Overwhelming Majority.
Wednesday was a Red Letter Day
in the political history of Henry coun
ty and McDonough. For a month
past the air has been full of political
excitement. Everybody has been talk
ing about the election for the county
officers; men, women aud children up
holding their various candidates, claims
but it is now a “tale that is told;” and
the telling of the victory achieved is
“as a sweet morsel under the tongue”
of the Democratic constituency whose
name is “legion.”
The following named gentlemen
have been chosen as an acceptable sac
rifice, and will enter into bondage for
their country’s good, having the yoke
of public office upon them for the neit
two years :
Eor Ordinary :
W. N. NELSON.
For Sheriff,
N. A. GLASS.
For Clerk.
' LUTHER PAIR.
For Treasurer,
C. A. McKIBBEN.
For Tax Receiver,
SEAB IIARKNESS.
For Tax Collector,
L. P. OWEN.
F>r Surveyor,
N. C. FEARS
For Coroner,
I. B. PRITCHETT.
The election brought out the entire
voting strength of the county, the total
vote being 2,330.
The cause of this tremendous vote is
well kuown to all of our citizens. Two
tickets were in the field, on one the
Democratic nomiuees, and on the other
the nominees of the Third, or Peoples
party. The names of good men, loved
and respected all over the county, were
on each ticket, and for a while it seem
ed that the people were going to throw
aside principles aud vote for men only,
“but reason soon resumed its sway,”

A FEW SCATTERING SHOT.
Mr. N. C. Fears, who was elected
County Surveyor on the Democratic
ticket, has notified the Ordinary that
he will not accept the office. He was
elected w ithout his knowledge or con
sent. His reason for refusing to serve
is because he has other business that
engages his atteutiou, and is also not
physically able to perform the duties
of the office. It is rarely ever the
case that an office goes begging, but it
seems so in,this. Mr. W. H. Trayn
ham, the uominee of the People’s par
| tv, has also stated privately that if he
had been elected ho would not have
served. We have not yet learned
what steps the Ordinary will take iu
the matter.
* # *
Wednesday's elecdou was not the
last of the year and succession of elec
tions. The last opportunity to vote
will be given to-morrow, when justices
of the peace for Heury county are
elected.
* * *
Mayor lohn Stephens and clever
Hob Adams brought the returns over
from Hampton Wednesday evening.
By the way, some knowing ones are
mentioning the Mayor as excellent
timber for legislative ligbtuing to strike
two years hence.
* * *
Throughout the epidemic of elections
014 Henry has borne the banner of
Democracy bravely. She has, without
a shadow of turning, stood firmly by
every trust imposed upon her. And
among those who have helped iu the
good fight none have done more for the
the cause of Democracy than thecoun
ty officers elected Wednesday to rep
resent the county that delights to do
them honor.
• • *
We learn that the leaders of the
and the l)em<cratic sons of Democrat- J
ic fathers went to the ballot box ’and {
wrought a victory that wiUTw, pointed
to with pride for generations jet |,>'
come.
A majority of the districts went
Democratic, while Sandy Ridge mid
Tussabaw's vole were divided. '1 lie
Sixth gave the Weaverites the largest
majority of any of the districts, al
though Loves, Berslteba and McMul
len’s all wt nt to that column.
Leaving McDonough out of the
question, Flippen prove 1 herself the
banner Democratic disrict, the Third
party vote at that precinct not even
reaching the 'teens.
But here at McDonough was the
grand battle ground where all interest
was focused ,aud right bravely did the
boys whoop ’em up. Great crowds ot
eager suffragist were standing on the
street corner when the polls were
opened, aud in less than an hour over
one hundred votes were cast. This
lick was kept up for some time. At
nine o’clock over five hundred votes
had been received, but from that hour
they commenced to come in slower,
until the ballot closed at six in the
evening. When the election managers
had finished their count it was found
that 779 votes had been cast here.
All of the officers elected were well
kuowtt to the citizens of Henry as true
men and faithful public servants, Nel
son, Pair, McKibben, Glass, Fears and
Pritchett, all have served full terms
and several of them several terms.
The fact that they were again nomina
ted and elected by their party is suf
ficient proof of the confidence and es
teem of the public.
Messrs. Owen aud Darkness are the
only new men. And they are recog
nized by all as men who have the inter
est of the public at heart and the
probabilities are that for many years
they will be found occupying the po
sitions in which they are placed by
their friends.
Thk Wkkki.v congratul ites the new
officials of Henry county, and wish
them many happy years in office.
Following are the official returns in
full:
Nelson

testing the election. They still believe
in following the illustrioua(?) exam

“Tussahaw” Mdiibbeu led the
Democratic ticket. Ci. is “one of the
boys.” and when lie desires anything
at the hands of the people all he has
to do is to let it be known.
* * *
On Wednesday night the boys at
McDouough built a rip roaring big
bonfire, tired R >uiau candles, etc.,
demonstrating their euthusiasm over
the Democratic success at the ballot
box. They also proceeded to take
down ami paddle every person found
on the square, be he of high or low
degree, Ethiopian or Caucasiau, every
one seemed to join in with the spirit
of good fellowship, aud “took their
medicine’’ like "little men.”
# « *
“Flax” Knight, and his fiddle took
no small part in the election. When
ever he would pull the bow across the
“catgut,” the “brother in black's”
heels would tap the sod with a light
uess that bespoke the inspiration of
Terpsichore.
* * *
Some of the boys lost “their long
green" ou the results Wednesday.
* * *
The New Euglaud Band (colored),
ot Griffin, was hired by the enthusiastic
Democrats, and saluted each round of
voters that came with a “concord of
sweet sounds.” They remained on the
public square all day, and alihough
their music wasn’t exactly classic, it
was a never ending source of joy to the
colored constituent aud the small boy.
