Dkak Sir—Your favor of the 11th. in
stant to dand to-day. The rule of rota
tion has always prevailed and the coun
ty entitled to the Senator under this
rule makes her choice by mass-meeting
or otherwise, as may be arranged by
** " Exective Committee. The other
nties ocquisce by sending delegates
the man named in this county, or
uuinstructed. And it is understood
that f hey arc to vote for the man selec
ted bv the county entitled to the Sen
ator lor this term. This county, (Sum
ter) two years ago, objected to the
man selected by Schley county, which
county was then by the rotation rule
entitled to the Senator, and sent dele
gates in favor of another man from
Schley. Sumter admitted the right of
Schley to the Senator, but claimed a
right to have a voice in the selection of
the man. Schley county refused to go
into the Convention, and the other man
(not Schley’s choice) was nominated.—
Both run, but the man who was nomi
nated was defeated, and Schley county
got her choice at tho ballot box. This
was simply an endorsement by the peo
ple of the rotation rulrf, and also that
the county T cut iti ed to ths {Senator for
the term, had aright to select the man,
It was a dispute between the counties,

the fiddle is" in proper condition,
and an audible and visible excite
ment is seen among the young
people.
“Git yer pardners!” screamed
“Fiddlin’ Jim” drawing three vio
lent strokes of the bow, and utter
ing the command with a marked
rhythmic accent on each word.
The ‘fiddle’ and the terpsichore-
an temptation have put all bash-
fulncss.to flight; the most awk
ward rustic can ask a girl to dance
under the effect of such inspira
tion; and “hands crossed and
down the middle” shSke the cabin
to its foundations. The fiddler
plays and looks like one in a sort
of ectacy. His foot keeps time to
the measure of the rollicking tune,
while his eyes seem fixed upon
the blue space which peers through
the cracks of the roof, as if his
soul were floating out,.borne aloft
upon his own liaAdonious strains.
To the cultivated eiir it is torture:
but ‘Fiddlin Jim” has passed be
yond the regions of criticism in
to the unalloyed bliss of one who
sees and knows no discord.
By and by the reel is finished,
and only the champion dancers
remain on the floor. Then begins
the tug of war. The true Greek
is well known, and each contest
ant has his or her bevy of admir
ers. “Now for who lasts the long
est,” screams Fiddlin’ Jim, “Who
keers if the river is up?” The last
last defiant interrogatory is per
feetly intelligible to the company,
who fully appreciate the serious
inconvenience which enter into
their lives when the river is up.—
Burning. Rome and swollen rivers,
however, do not interrupt enthusi
astic fiddlers and dancers. After
startling feats of agility on the
part of the gallant young men, and
many graceful evolutions on the
part of the girls, most of the danc
ers are exhausted and take their
seats, leaving one couple on the
floor. These two are to do honor
to the occasion. The fiddler is
now brought back from his divine
ecstacy to the realties that sur
round him, and himself becomes
an ardent partisan, espousing the
cause of tho girl, of course, who
perhaps in her dancing career has
slain her hundreds.
“Banco up, Kitty: don’t be
afeer’d says Fiddlin’ Jim, cncour
agingly.
“Brace up, Sam, or she’ll flag
you,” mutters one of Sam’s com
panions, whose friendship gets the
better of his gallantry.
Old and young gaze at the rival
dancers with the intensest interest
and curiosity. The dancers grow
more and more excited. Each as
tonishing feat performed by one
suggests one still more astonishing
on the part of the other. Sam'
friends applaud and Kitty’s friends
applaud more loudly.
“Make his head swim, Kitty,'
suggests “Fiddlin’ Jim” who secs
Sam’s enthnsiasm beginning
flag. This Kitty proceeds to do by
turning rapidly round and round,
which series of evolutions Sam
bound by all the rules of the floor
to follow. This perhaps brings
the dance to a conclusion, as Kitty
is able to revolve longer and more
rapidly than Sam'.—Zittelia Cocke

MEN ONLY
We hear more or loss of the

Times dreadful hard, money
scarce, and crop prospects baa,
but a chance to secure fine In
struments at half their value
could not be passed. Low prices

And we have yet op hand some

The Instruments to be closed
out are not old, or worn out but
almost new, fresh and in superb
order. The older ones thorough-
ly repaired, repolished and made
serviceable for years of hard use.
They are of all styles and prices,
and from good makers.
Pians, $35, $50, $75, $100, $150 t<5
$500.
Organs, $10, $20 $30, $40. $50

And Ludden & Bates pay all
freight, no matter where you
live.
Descriptive Lists sent lree.
Just as easy and safe to buy -
through correspondence os in
person. Everything in plain
print. Instruments represented
exactly as they urc, and sold un
der guarantee.
Ono uniform price charged all,
and that the very lowest. No
ono can pay us a nickel more
than our regular price, nor buy a
nicKel less. On this ono price,
square trade, rock we stand.
Cash buys cheapest, and for
spot cash we will astonish buy
ers. All who can pay cash
should so state in their letters,
and we will present solid chunks
of arguments that will shrink
their pocketbooks in short metre.

The Boston Advertiser, which
has been making itself ridiculous
by its inexcusable misrepresenta
tions about Southern honesty,
prints in an inconspicuous place
and without comment, says an ex
change, a letter from a Northern
man living in Atlanta which com
pletely answers the slanders so far
as they relate to Georgia. He says
“I have lived in Atlanta nearly
seven years, and have been en
gaged constantly during that time
in the business of loaning . money
on long time, for Northern people,
on Georgia real estate security,
and have placed nearly $,2000,000,
covering 2,500 different loans, to
as many different men. My facil
ities for knowing the character of
Georgians as to honesty, and punc
tuality in standing by their “writ
ten contracts,” are doubtless as
good as your correspondentenjoys
and I desire to put on record side
of his statement the following fact:
I never lived among a more hon
est or honorable people. I receive
iny interest and principal as
promptly, and find no more trou
ble here than I had in Iowa, where
I lived twenty-five years, and was
engaged in this same business for
fifteen years in that State before
coming to Georgia. Touching the
homestead matter, I would say
that the Georgia law averages with
homestead laws of other States
both North and South, and that
homestead rights, can be waived
here as elsewhere. In the bonestyi
integrity of citizens, Georgia will
