If such innovations be tolerated aud condition
recognized by the convention, whose duty
it is to nominate a Senator, we need not
be surprised if differences, strife and divi
sion", continue in Twiggs county, and in
the Twenty-first Senatorial district.
Webelieve that the delegations from
Wilkinson and Jones counties will care
fully investigate matters pertaining to the
nomination of a Senator, and when they
do they will find that there has been an
alliance formed which, if noi broken down,
will prove detrimental to the political
peace a. d harmony of the Democratic
party of Twiggs county and of the Twenty
first Senatorial district.
The alliance and combination for selfish
purposes is provable and can be supported
by unquestionable evidence.
Therefore, bo it resolved, That this con
vention do condemn, in the mo t vehement
terms and with the purest and unselfish
motives, the manner in which the alliance
and combination was formed and the pur
poses and motives for which it was formed,
to-wit:
To control the politics of Twiggs county
and to try to influence the delegations of
Jones and Wilkinson counties.
The meeting adjourned sine die.
S. E. Jones, Secretary.
P. S.—I forgot to mention that the Rev.
Charlie Johnson announced himself a can
didate for Kepresentativeof 1 wiggseounty,
and the meeting pledged him their undi
vided support by a rising vote.
It hits not been decided whether or .not
there will be a nomination for Represen

declaring that it was the most enjoyable
aflair of their lives, and returning their
thanks to Farmer Wadley and his most
excellent wife, we voted it the greatest so

A Region of Gooil Farming Land* anil Rich
Mineral DepoaiU-Martow Awake.
Rtilesboiio, July 28.—Takiug our little
village as a centre, with a radius of a few
miles, a circle mar be described within
which are come of the finest fariujng and
mineral lands to be found on this conti
nent. This, from one who was born and
rai-ed in Atiddle Georgia, who has travel
ed extensively over the fertile valleys of
the Shenandoah, the Tennessee and the
Cumberland, and who has lived on the
rich rolling prairies of Texas, may he re
carded by some an exaggeration, but to
such we would say, Have you ever visited
this section? Have you ever seen the
magnifi:ent crops growing on our uplands
and along our numerous streams?
Did you notice what noble sites for mills
and factories there are all along our beau
tiful Etowah, and did you examine our
hills and mountains filled almost to burst
ing with their rich deposits of iron,niangin-
ese, graphite, lime, marble and other val
uable minerals? Ifso, we hardly think
you will consider us extravagant, but will
exclaim as did a distinguished gentleman
in our presence: “The half has not been
‘ ol<11 ” . w . .
Old Bartow has awakened from her long
sleep, refreshed and ready for business.
You nave hut to put your hand upon her
heart (Cartersville) to bote the amount of
energy and vital force there is in her. The
country jieople are beginning to lake more
pride in their county town, and the greater
iart of the trade from this section which
leretofore has been divided be*wecn Rome
and Cartersville now goes principally to
the latter place. There seems to be an
atmosphere of prepress pervading than
whole Cherokee fee lion. Onr farmers arc
n “rising ground.” They are becomiog
more sndenendent every year, and will lay
by this fall a large crop of “bog and
hominy.
As to jiolitical matters, everything is
going on -moothly. There- may lie several
entries for ti.e Congressional race from this
district. Our mountain roll, Judson C'., auil

N*xv York, July 2S.—The late homo of
Courtland I’aliner was crowdetj almost to
suffocation to-day bv the frieudswho came
to attend his funeral services. The Nine
teenth Century Club, of which Air. Pulnier
was the founder, was largely represented,
and many of the most distinguished guen
of the country were present. The remains
of the deceased advocate of freedom of
thought reposed naturally in a rosewood
casket, which was laden with flowers.
Colonel Roberto. Ingersoll, who was to
deliver the address, took « position ou tho
stairs, and iu a calm, tender tone of voice
said:
“My Friends—A thinker of pure
thoughts, a speaker of brave words, and a
doer of generous deeds, has reached the
haven that all the dead have reached, anil
where the voyage of every life must end,
and we, his friends, who, even now, are
hastening aftir him, are met to do the last
kind acts that man may do for man—to
tell his virtues, to lay with tenderness and
tears his ashes in the secret place of rest
and pence. -
“Some one has said that in the open
hands of the dead we find only what they '
gave away. Let us believe that pure
thoughts, brave words and generous deeds
can never die. I-et us Believe that they
bear fruits nnil add forever to the well-be
ing of the human race; that a noble, sell-
denying life increases the moral welfare
of man and gives assurance that tho fu
ture will he better than the |mst. A free
and independent man, one who demanded
reasons and demanded freedom, and gave
what he demanded—one who refused to be
slave or master—such a man was Court-
land Palmer.
“He was an honest man. He gave the
rights he claimed. This was the founda
tion on which he built. To think for him
self, to give his thoughts to others—this
was a privilege and right, a duty and a joy
with him. He believed in personal inde
pendence and in manhood. He preserved
the realm of mind from brute force, and
protected the children of the brain from
the Herod of authority. He investigated
for himself; majorities ' were nothing to
him; no error could be old enough to
bribe his judgment. QHe was a believer in
intellectual hospitality. He insisted that
those who spoke should hear; that those
who questioned should answer; that each
should strive, not for a victory over others,
but for the discovery of troth, ood that
truth when found should he welcomed by
every human soul. He knew tfca* truth
has no fear of investigation, that it had no
(ear of being understood, that it loves the
day. He knew that its enemies arc bigotry,
fear and darkness; that its friends arc
treedom. bravery and light
“He felt that the living nre indebted to the
noble dead, and that each should pay his
debt, that he should pay it hy extending
to the best of his power the good that has
been done, that each should be the bearer
of the truth. This was the religion of deed
within tlie reach of man, within the cir
cumference of the unknown, a religion un
derstood by the head and proved hy the
heart, a religion that apjiealed to reason.
It was a religion to develop the civiliza
tion of the human ruce by enlightenment
and education, by teaching each to he no
ble enough to live for all. This is the
gospel of man, the gospel of the world;
this is the religion of hnmnnity; this is
the philosophy which contemplates, not
with scorn, but with pity, with admiration
aril with love.
“He denied the supernatural; the phan
toms and ghosts who filled the deluded
land of fear. There was but one religion
for him, a religion of pure thoughts, noble
words, self-denying deeds—the religion of
hope nnd h'elp. Hist rv was his prophet,
reason his guide, duty his deity, happiness
bis end, intelligence the means He knew
that men must be the providence of man.
He did not believe in religion and science,
hut in tho religion of science. He lived
and labored for his fellow-man. He n-cl-
c intil light. According to his light he
lived. The world was his country, to do
good his religion. There is bu language-
to express a nobler creed than this—noth
ing grander, more comprehensive, nearer
perfect. He was afraid to do wrong, and
for that reason was not afraid to die.
He knew .lie end was near; he knew
his work was done; he stood
within the deepening twilight
knowing that for the first time the gold
was fading froui the West, and that there
could not fall withiq his eves the tremb
ling luatie of another dawn. He knew
night was coming, but in that night the
memory of generous deeds shone like
stars. Kind words can pay a tribute to
the man who lived his ideal, who was
turned aside neither by envy, or hatried,
nor contumely, nor slnuder, nor scorn, nor
fear. Whitt words will do, wo do with
love and justice.
•‘Fares ell, dear friend; the world Is
better for thy life; the world is braver for
tl.y death. Farewell, we loved you liv
ing, and wc love you now.”
Gob Ingersoll then read a poem of con-
sidcr.'lile length, written by Giurtlandt
I’alu.cr several weeks ago, and setting
fotth in graceful verse his well-known
views ou lile and death.
Later accounts of the death of Court-
landt Palmer show that his end wa< char
acteristic of Ms life His bmllice fl.srlss
said yesterday: “He was looked upon as
an artist, but was not. His wns one of the
mo t consistent death-bed setnes on record.
When he felt the shades of death coming
over his eye* he turned his face slowly
toward the friends surrounding his couch
and said: ‘They say that free thinkers are
afraid of death; but you can all say that
you saw one die without fear.’ Without a
tremor of the lips, but with an expression
which told that he was at peace with all
tlie world lie loved so well, he pissed
away."
In a letter to Daniel O. Thompson, writ
ten the day before his deatb ; Mr. Palmer
spoke of arrangements for his funeral, and
said lie wanted above all things to keep
the Nineteenth Century Club alive. “Tho
world has been for me my countir,” he
wrote, “to do gooil my religion, and 1 sutler
no fear in the presence of what Christians
generally look upon asthekiugof terrors.”
