R. M. Mitchell
President,
Years after tho war Washington
county after hard struggles succeed
cd in procuring for herself honest
and competent otliccrs, who by their
euergy and attention to county mat
ters effected a comparative satisfac
tory state of affairs, taking into con
sidcration the utter chaos and help
lessncss into we were drawn by the
surrender of Lee’s arm)' and the mis
rule of federal bayonettos. The staff'
of officers consisted of the following
gentlemen: Major Brookins, Ord’y
M, Newman, TroftsureiqS. M. North
ington, Clerk Sup. Court; J. A. Rob
son, T. C.; M. G. Wood, Rcc. Their
duty of officers were well performed,
taking into consideration the pre
sentments of our Grand Jury whose
duty is anil always has been to
scrutinize the respective offices and
see that those duties are well and
truly performed as a guide. We hail
no reason for complaint.
In 1875, I betieve it was in Aug
ust, a convention was called by the
then chairman of the Democratic
party to assemble in the Court House
at Sandersville, What was the act
ion of that convention V They dis
franchised tho then existing officers,
without a cause or even giving any
reason for such action unless it was
like tho pilgrin s that landed at Ply
mouth, that the country belonged to
the people nnd that they were the
people, (the facts are that there were
not enough offices for all.)
They actually
sent out through a committee and
begged Mr. J. J. Sparks to accept
the office of county treasurer al
though be was no candidate, and be
it said to the credit of Mr. S. that
he very reluctantly accepted. Mr,
Sparks remarked that the office was
forced on him, so let those that did
it also furnish his bond, which was
actually done. Look
citizens, think (if it, could such be
done again ? I hope not, in fact I
know it can’t. Mr. J. A. Robson
was our efficient Tax Collector, the
same fate awaited him, although en
tering the Confederate, army a mere
yoqtli, uneducated, serving his coun
try with all bis might and having
received praises on til® field of bat
tle for bjravery displayed, and los
ing one of his legs, thus crippled for
life and unable to do manual labor
he spent tho remnant of his scanty
estate to finish his education after
the surrender, lie also was dealt with
in the same summary manner. And
Mr. S. M. Nortliington, against
whose efficacy as an officer nothing
has ever been said, was dealt with
the sume way, and as to M. G. Wood
a more clever and efficient officer the
county never produced. Wc must
haven clean swoop was the word and
had our departod never to bo forgot
ten friend, Major Brookins, who by
his fidelity to our affairs received
praises after praises, from Jiis con
stituency, had his time been for re-
election his gray and venerable head
would not have protected him from
such unscrupulous action.
The outrage of such proceedings
by tho so called representative body,
of which 3 entire Disfs. of represen
tatives and some of other Dints, feel
ing the injustice about to he perpe
trated by that body, rebelled and
left the house; certainly a worthy
act of theirs.
Mr. Robson and Mr. Nortliington
ho it said to their credit appealed di
rect to the people and the people
endorsed them. The howl of Radicals
and Republicans was then
folded to the breeze by their
would ho political ,assns-
sians nnd wns successfully rebelled
by the parties interested nnd came
close in causing bloodshed among
heretofore warm friends. Tho gen
eral result of all this had a demoral
izing effect upon the community,
demoralizing noon tho party that
caused such distrubance by their
unwarranted dictatory, usurpating
and unparalolled action. Especially
ns they were only called together us
I have been informed to uoininnto
candidates for the legislature and
not county ollleors. Since that time
no county officer lias over been nom
inated in convention for it was, and
is now considered that such a thing
as a fair nomination can’t lie had in
Washington county and candidates
won’t submit to it. This is a hud
state of affiiirs and brought in the
market wlintwe call influential men
men that traffic for votes, men that
promise to elect a poor candidate for
a stipulated amount of money paid
in advaneo notwithstanding there is
a law against such, that siloncod the
battery’s of the dofeatod party nud
thus ho is fleeced of what money ho
possess without redress. On the
other hand tho mail that will spend
money regardless of consequence,
keep the most hangers on, treat tho
most, nnd demoralize the most labor
is tho successful candidate and to
him are duo all the emoluments and
honors attached thereto. IIow can
this he remedied V By fair nomi
nations. How ought they he conduc
ted ? Allow me to suggest:
Wo all know that democracy means
a government by tho people and dem
ocratic is thatdomoorutic does; that
the convention that assembled in
1875 and split the heretofore harmon
ious party did not express the will of
the people,nnd thus did act undem
ocratic. If wo are democrats let us
act ns democrats, let us by fair
moans find out the desire of the peo
ple and then assemble in convention
by mass or through delegation and
express our wishes, feelings or pref
erences. Wo have in our county 18
Districts. Delegates from each Dist.
must have at least ono third of tho
votes within tho l)ist. to entitle that
Dist. to representation. A failure
of the same shall deprive that Dist.
of representation in said convention.
The erotential to ho furnished by the
managers of said election together
with election returns. Men can’t
fall out with a party when they fail
to do their primary duties in not
complying with rules laid down by
the executive for their guidance.
I think such courso will harmonize
and stregthen the democratic party,
will do away witli the traffic in
votes, prevent demoralization and
give expression of tho wishes of the
people. Even a primary election the
samo as for representatives will help
tho cause materially. The intelli
gence of our county ought certainly
to have profited by the lessons of the
past nud in future ought to act in
such manner as will hear the utmost
scrutiny as to fairness in nomination,
duly considering merit and fitness
for positions. Good management in
politics has built up prosperous
countries, elevated empires, king
doms and republics to the height of
ambition. Bad management in pol
itics lias torn down countries, king
doms, empires and republics, leaving
anarchy and communism in their
wako. Therefore let us profit by
past experience and let us manage
our political machinery so as to give
satisfaction to the people, let us be a
unit, conservative, and let fanaticism
and mismanagement he stamped out
of our midst and thus elevate our
county to the harmony, wealth and
prosperity she so well deserves and
stands in noed of. H,

%V|int I'oiiKlitiilrti n Gooil Sim
(lay School mill IIow lo Keep il
Up r
A good Sunday school is one that has a
400(1 organization, a good corps of officers
and teaohors, rightly conducted upon right
principles and with right aims and objects,
tt in kept up by punctuality nud promptuesi
in nttendnuoe,diligence in Kindy.faithluluesH
iu work, and skill in management. This,
>u general, constitutes the answer to the qitcs
lion, but it does not constitute au essay, it
is too general to be protltablo or interesting,
instructive or entertaining We must de
sound lo particulars and go into detail to
some exlent at least. Then let us consider
briefly each of the above named coustitu
cuts.
1st. Organization, which in essence is n
time for everytbiug and everything iu tirno,
a plnoe for everything and everytbiug in
place, a work for every body and every body
at work. A time to opou tho school and tho
school opened iu time, a timo for nidging,
reading, praying, teaching, reviuwiDg and
cloning and all iu time. A place for super*
luteudcnt, officers, teachers, scholars, bonks
md papers, nnd all iu place. A work for
officers, toachurs, scholars and visitors, and
all nt work nt the right time and in the right
place.
Tho superintendent, offioors, teaohors and
sclulurs should kuow what to do, when to do
and how to do and all the time.
2d. Officers and i'enohers. A good super
intendent will teel his responsibility and put
his conscience in bis work. He will arrange
all his plans wisely and well, quality himself
for his work by diligent study uud prayerful
ilort will know his programme of exeroiaes,
bis lesson and how to leaoh it, his review
and bow to conduct it, his whole school and
how to manage it. Ho wifi be an example ot
punctuality, of order, of aystom and of de
votion. lie will tuuoh his teaohors aud offi
cers uud win tho love aud coulidcuco of all
he will not be afraid ot boat nor cold, wet
nor dry will know that he is neiti.er salt nor
sngnr, however much spice nud sweetness
there may be about him. In a word he will
as far as iu him lies, use the powers and cu
ergics of miad and heart and body to make
his school a success uud never be satisfied
with wbut he bus done. A good icauher will
in mauy respects be like tho superintendent
feel for and towurds his class as the superin
tendent does lor aud towards tho school, lie
will uover go before the class with au unlearn
ed lesson with a thoughtless mind, a cold
heart or a cureless manner ; he will gain the
attention ot his olass and hold it; lie will
soeure order aud maintain It; ho will win the
love ol the class and keep it ; he will lonru
the lesson aud teach it; ho will tool tho tiuth
and impress it ; bis highest ambition will be
to so impart tho truth as his sobolnra shall
receive it, believe it nud practice it, and be
saved by it. Ho will know that his work is
not confined to the 8unduy school room, but
will follow his scholars to their homes aud
seuk to beuefit them at all timed and places
aud sympathize with them under all circum
stances ; lie will ns tar ns practicable be at
once pastor, parent, friend and teacher. He
will also co-operate with the superintendent
and secretary iu all needful ways.
3d. A good officer w hether assistant super
intendent, secretary, librarian or treasurer
will diligeuily study his duties and faithful
ly perform them, will always bo iu his plnoe
nud at his post. Records will be well kept,
books will be in place, and all arrangements
made lo secure order, system and success.
4th. To conduct a Sunday school upon
right principles is to understand that it is a
sanctuary ns well ns a school. The devotion-
il services should bo conducted with us
much decorum and reverence as the minis
ter does in the church. But a good nmouut
of common sense be exhibited in conform
mg the exercises as to lougth and variety, to
suit tho &4,d of the pupils, Hhort prayers,
short songs, short talks uud short pauses
must be the rule. There will be uud should I
be some freedom of speech nnd manner in
the class,a play of questions nud answors
between teacher und class. There will be
a like freodom between superintendent and
sohool iu the review of the lesson. But in
the opening nnd closing exercises there
should ho revereDce iu nuuner and devotion
iu spirit. Children should be trained in
Sunday school to reverence God’s day, God’s
house and God’s book.
5th. The right object. The only object ol
the Sunday sohool is to teach God’s truth, to
impart a knowledge of his word. The aims
ire threefold, 1st. To lend the scholar to
Christ, to make him n Christian. 2d. To make
the scholar wise iu all the doutrfnes aud du
ties of the Bible. 3d. !o train tho scholar
for usefulness to make him an oarnest aud
faithful worker for Jesus, we are first aud
toremost to seek his conversion, then to seek
his usefulness alterwards nnd always. To
teach aud to train should be the motto of the
dunilay school.
But how to keep up the Sunday sohool is
a most important question. The reply is by
patient continuance in well doing. Lot all
determine that there shall be no tardiness
nor absence, no relaxation of effort, no ccs
nation of labor, no remission oi study, no
want of toil aud skill aud no (lagging ol en
thusiasm. An important responsibility here
rest upon the pastor. He should throw nil
the weight of his influence, all the power ot
his eloquence, all the strength of his zeal
and all the store of bis knowledge in the in
terest of the Sunduy school; he should stim
ulate and encourage, instruct,co-operate aud
sympathize, advise and admonish; he should
help the superintendent, teachers uBd offi
cers; he should familiarize himself with tin
sohool in all its departments and bo ready
with a word of counsel and instruction ou
all points and at all times. The superinten
dent must see that he follows no dull rotine
of exercises, but have freshness aud variety
when he sees any flagging, he must ohange
his taetios and review his plans. Superin
tendent and teachers must be so fall of the
lessons that they will lODg for tho Sabbath to
come that they may unburden mind and
heart. They must be so full that they will
overflow.
For Constipation, or Costiveness, no
remedy Is so olfoctlvo as Ayer’s Pills.
They Insure regular dally action, and re
store tho bowels to a healthy condition.
For Indigestion, or DyspepsU, AYXR’I
Pills are Invaluable, and a sure cure.
Heart-burn, Loh of Appetite, Font
Stomach, Flatulency, »lislness, Head
ache, Numbness, Nausea, are all relieved
and cured by Ayer's Pills.
