for members o! the legislature. There were
five candidates in the field, J. F. O’Neil,
Clarke Howell, William H. Venable, Capt.
Henry Jackson and W. J. Garrett, all of
them running on their own merits. The
polls were open in all of the wards of the
city and in all of the militia districts of
the county. The primary was conducted
quietly and no disturbance occurred at
any of the voting precincts. All of the
candidates were about the polls, working
themselves and urging their friends on to
victory- Owing to the fact that there were
five candidates, a good deal of scratching

Four Cases of Yellow Fever on the Train—

Atlanta, trpt. 12.—About noon to-day
a special train of nine coaches, filled with
men, women and children, reached Atlanta
bv the East Tennessee, Virginia and Geor
gia railroad from Jacksonville, Fla. The
train left Jacksonville at 10 o’clock yester
day morning, and was on its way to Hen
dersonville, N. C. The train should have
readied here at an early hour this morn
ing, and would no doubt have done so but
for a delay of several hours on account of
a washout iu the road. The windows of
the coaches were open, and when the train
entered the depot each window exhibited
faces of the occupants of the train, which
were covered with dust ami smoke,
while there was ample evidence
the expression of each face that its owner
was both'hungry and thirsty. When the
train reached the depot it was surrounded
by a rqnsd «f police who, by instructions
of Drs. J. B. Baird, W. 8. Armstrong -ad
Dr. Cheighter. members of the board _ of
healtn, kept the passengers from getting
off or any one from getting on. A large
delegation of citisens of Jacksonville, who
are here while the fever is raging in that
ci y, met the train at the depot and at a
distance exchanged words of greeting.
With the exception of a few of the passen
gers, who had brought along a lunch with
them, when they left Jacksonville, none of
them had had a bite since leaving
home and these, in consequence,
were as hungry as wolves.
Some of them hod a little money and with
this they procured something to eat.
Others either got nothing or a bite fur
nished by some more fortunate individual.

with the Marine hospital service, was in

Beyond us, in a low valley (near Appo

army. There did not appear to be much
organisation, except in the advanced troops
under Gen. Gordon, whom we had been
fighting, and a rear guard under Gen.
Longstreet, still further up the valley.

from Custer, filled witli excitement, hat in
hand, dashed up to me with the message
from his chief: “Lee has lurrendered! Do
not charge; the white flag is upl” _ Orders
serious injustice. It appears that the only
part taken by friends of these gentlemen
was tp prevent interference when Capt.
Jackson and Mr. Tom Cobb Jackson at
tacked Mr. Martin and Mr. Campbell for
publications which reflected upon them.
It does not appear tiiat any one except
Capt. Jackson struck Martin, while Tom
Cobb Jackson used only his fists on Camp
bell.
Capt. Jackson published a card in tbe
Constitution yesterday, in which he says:
"Five seconds before I went up the stairs
had no intention of so doing. The
thought that my sou bad already faced one
pistol on account of my legislative race
made me determine to face the other my
self. Would not any other father have
pursued the same course?
“Not a person touched Martin except
myself, and I did not lay a hand upon
him. I simply caned him, as he richly de
served.
“I wish to say to the public who feel
sufficient interest in this matter to read
this card, that I hope they will agree with
me in tho opinion that such articles as
have appeared in this infamous sheet, the
Avalanche, should not be tolerated, and
that when a man and his family are so
scandalously attacked lie has the right to
seek redress.”
Mr. 1 hike Smith’s account of tlit* affair
i- a- follmv- :
“Editors Constitution: As I understand
there is much misapprehension about the
difficulty which took place between Capt.
Jackson and Mr. Martin, I wish to furnish
to yon, as a card, what I know upon the
subject,
“During the nioriiig I found that, a diffi
culty was probable between the editors ot
the Avalanche and Mr. Cobb .Jackson. I
urged a course more pacific than the one I
feared wouldbe followed, and as mv brother
was out with Mr. Cobb Jackson, I went to
Mr. Arnold’s office, near the office of the
Avalanche, hoping, if a difficulty took
place, to interfere in time to prevent any
thing of a tragic character.
“After awhile I left Mr. Arnold’s office
and was returning to my own, when I
heard of the difficulty on Marietta street,
and taming walked back in that direction,
reaching Marietta street after the parties
to the difficulty had retired. I wav again
on my way to my office when I met l.'apt.
Jackson on the corner of Broad, coming
hurriedly from towards Alabama street. I
tol I him there was nothing to see, and he
started up Broad towards the bridge with
me. At the foot of the steps leading to
the Avalanche office he told me he intended
to go up and see Mr. Martin. I urged him
not to do so, but he insisted, and started
up. Not knowing how many persons
might be in the office, and hoping to pre
vent serious trouble, 1 followed. In the
office we found Mr. Martin alone. He rose,
Capt. Jackson asked bis name. He an,
swered and commenced drawing bis pistol,
Capt. Jackson had nothing so far as I
know but n little walking stick. I grabbed
at tbe pistol. It felt to the floor.
1 do not know whether I knocked it out
of Mr. Martin’s hand, whether Capt. Jack-
son struck him and it fell cr whether it
was caught in some way in Mr. Martin’s
clothes and it dropped! I stepped to where
it was and picked it up. A few moments
afterwards, as Mr. Martin was on the floor,
I urged Capt. Jackson to leave, and he
did so.
“No one touched Mr. Martin, unless my
catching at the pistol can be classed under
that head, except Capt. Jackson.
“I kept the pistol in my hand simply
because I did not wLh it used. For a
moment J stopped Dr. Westmoreland from
separating the parties, and then joined him
in putting an end to tbe difficulty. This
was mv entire connection with tbe matter.
I have' written them at length because I
can well understand how those who saw
part only of my connection with the
trouble might well have understood the
balance; as, for instance, many probably
thought, seeing me standing with a pistol
in my hand that it belonged to me, while
in point of truth it was Mr. Martin’s that I
nicked up and carried and left at the
Journal office.”
Mr. Martin gives this version of the
affair:
“I had no intimation of any trouble. At
about 12 o’clock I saw Capt. Harry Jack-
son in Neal’s furniture store. I went out
for a glass of water. On my return some
one came up and told me that the clans
iA?re gathering on the streets. I laughed
it off, saving that I did not believe a mob
would come up; that Cobb Jackson could
do his own fighting. Telephone messages
began coming in, telling me to be on the
alert. Then I stayed waiting to see a man
with whom f bad an engagement. I was
just fixing the papers on my desk to leave
when I beard people coming tip the stair
way. I was sitting with my back to tbe
door. It was Hoke Smith who entered
and who, with smiling face, said: . “\V«
want to tee you a minute, Mr. Martin,” 1
said: ■•Well, gentlemen, what can I do
for you." Smith stepped back ^ re,
vealing Jackson and said: “Now,
Looking to the left, to Appomattox
Court House, a large group was seen near
by the lines of confederate troops that had
fallen back to that point. Gen. Custer had
not come back, and supposing that he was
with the group at the court house, I moved
cn a gallop down the narrow ridge, fol
lowed by my 6taff. The court house was
perhaps three-fourths of a mile distant.
\Ve had not gone far belore a heavy fire
was opened on us from a skirt of timber to
tfie right, and distant not much over 300
vards. I halted for a moment, and, taking
off my hat, called oat that the flag was
being violated, but could not stop the
firing, which now caused us all to take
shelter iu a ravine running parallel to tho
bridge we were on, and down which we
then traveled. As we approached the court
house a gentle ascent had to be made,
1 was in advance, followed by a ser-
is nugeiy anuseo—American, umaar, nu-
tect. This we have seen in the articles de
voted to their discussion. Let us briefly
review the false meanings.
What 11 icv «:i 11 "I'li'Ir, tion*’ is a sluju n-
dous reversal of real protection. It is to
saddle the body of the people with grievous
taxes, and call this protection. It is to use
the power of government in favor of tbe
wrong-doers, not tho victims, and call it
protection I
The word American is also reversed in
meaning. Whatever industry America, is
fit for by nature is un-American. The
exotic transplanted here, in their strange
use oi words, is alone American!
Finally, labor means unreinuncrative
labor, work that does not pay.
Was ever so much falsehood and folly
crammed into three words ? Yet is this
folly the foundation on which lias been
built that whole fiscal policy of govern
ment which now clamors for reform. These
words express thechcsen argument or chief
reliance of a great political party, are
incorporated in its platform, and form the
basis of its proposed action.
I shall refer briefly to a few other catch
words, showing their true sense contrasted
with the fake, viz: the words indepen
dence, free trade, and republican.
The independence they propose is that
of a savage among individuals; of a China
among nations. Just as China quits her
folly America is to adopt her as a model.
What is genuine independence? Is it to
make one’s own shoes, hat, clothes and
blankets; to do one’s own cooking, butch
ering and all; to milk his own cow and
shoe his own horso? Nay; if the princi
ple is right, is even that enough? Does
not independence require him to make his
tools to work with—his axes, his awls, his
needles and thread, his pots and utensils?
Bidiculous. This goes back to the brute
rather than the savage. On these terms
independence is very undesirable—it is
geant carrying my battle-flag. Within
100 to 150 yards from the court house and
confederate lines, some of the men in their
ranks brought down their guns to an aim
on us, and great effort was made by their
officers to keep them from firing.' 1 halted,
and, hearing some noise behind, turned in
the saddle, and saw a confederate soldier
attempting to take my battle ilag from the
color-bearer. This the sergeant had no
idea of submitting to and had drawn his
saber to cut the man down. A word from
me caused him to return his saber and
take the flag back to the staff officers, who
were some little distance behind. I re
mained stationary a moment after these
events; then, calling a staff officer, di
rected him to go over to the group of con
federate officers and demand what sucli
conduct meant. Kind apologies were
made and we advanced. The superior of
ficers met were Gen. J. B. Gordon and
Gen. Cadimus M. Wilcox, the lutter :in
old army officer. As soon as the first
greeting was over, a furious firing
began in front of our own
. nialrv from whom we had only a few
minutes before separation. Gm. Gordon
seemed to he somewhat disconcerted by it.
I remarked to him, “Gen. Gordon, your
men fired on me as I was coming over
here, and undoubtedly they have done the
same to Merritt’s and Custer’s commands.
We might just as well, let them fight it
out." To this proposition Gen. Gordon did
not accede. I then asked, “Why not send
a staff officer and have your people cease
firing? They are violating tneflag!" He
said, I have no staff officer to lend.” I re
plied. “I will let you have one oi mine,”
and calling for Lieut. Vandeibilt Allen, I
directed him to report to Gen. Gordon nnd
carry his orders. The orders were to go to
Gen’ Geary, who was in command of a
small brigade of South Carolina cavalry,
and ask him to discontinue the firing.
Lieut. Allen dashed off with the message,
but on delivering it to Gen. Geary was
taken prisoner, with the remark from that
officer that he did not care for white flags,
that South Carolina never surrendered.
It was about this time that Merritt, get
ting impatient at the supposed treacherous
firing, ordered a charge of a portion of his
command. While Gens. Cordon and Wil
cox were engaged in conveisation with me,
a cloud of dust, n wild hurrah, a flashing
of sabres, indicated a charge and the ejac
ulations of my staff officers were heard,
“Look! Mcrriit has ordered a charge!”
The flight of Geary’s brigade followed;
Lieut. Alien was thus released. The last
gun had been fired and the last charge
made in the Virginia campaign

From tbe Charleston News aud Carter.
The “exhibit car” which was prepared
in Georgia recently ar.d lent westward on
an advertising tour has been attracting
much attention along its route, the latest
report of its movements relating to its ap
pearance at the Ohio state fair. The
M III-ti<-1<1 I O.I Shield aud Banner devotes
considerable space to a description of the
exhibit, which was assigned a conspicuous
place in the agricultural hail on the fair
grounds; and which it is stated “was vis
ited by immense throngs hourly.”

remarks are “much larger and finer” than
those produced in Ohio. To mention all
the valuable nnd interesting articles in the
Georgia display, the same paper says,
would fill its columns, and it closes its
admiring account with an earnest recom
mendation to everybody to go and see the
collection for themselves.
The valne of this kind of exhibition to
the state of Georgia, it is thus shown, has
not been overrated by its promoter-, and
Sonth Carolina should not nil. next sum

in the way that has now b:en eo success

No, tho civilized man is a thousand
times as independent as the savage and
just as much better off. He has society,
kooks, art, beauty, comforts, luxuries. His
independence consists in the exchange of
services. It consists in being able to pay
for what lie needs. The “protection” idea
of personal independence consists in lean
ing on other people. It is not an exchange
of services, but compulsory service under
government coercion. It is government
slavery. This is not that to which Burns
refers us “the glorious privilege of being
independent.”
National independence, like personal,
consists in being able to pay for what you
need. Commerce is the great civilizer. Its
basis is the exchange of ideas und of
goods. Nations are full of widely varied
conditions and resources. There iB variety
in nature, variety in man. There are the
tropical and the arctic, the differences of
race and culture, skill and art. The soci
ety of nature furnishes man with the re
sources of a planet. Were nation.l'iude-
pundence a mere isolation that were easy

FREE TRADE*
They say the Mills bill is free trade.
Free trade is untaxed trade. The state
tax on property in Georgia is three-tenths
of 1 per cent., and we do not think prop-
erty here to be tax-free.
The tax on trade in this state averages
47 or 48 per cent.—under the Mills bill 38
or 40. This is over 100 times os great as
the state tax of Georgia on properly. This
stupendous tax ia a mere nothing in the
vocabulary of protection—no tax at all.
Trailo is free!
There is an ocein of room for tariff
reform short of free trade.
As it now is revenue is a mere incident
of protectiuii, and proposed tn lie mute
more so.
One more misleading catch-word will
suffice, though the catalogue left untouched
is long.
REPUBLICAN.
The very name of the Republican partv
is misleading. It is name against nature.
It has ever been n partv of misnomers. It
was once called “wnig, ’ because it corres
ponded in conviction with the British
“Tory” party, taking sides with power,
privilege and prerogative. At a later
period disintegrating—one wing of it was
called American" because characteristically
uu-Amcrican, and know-nothing because
it had knowledge of a secret. Finally it is
now called republican, became it is eaeen-
tiallyCt unrepublican. Bes-publica—the
commonwealth—does not describe it. Bes-
privata—rather the parly of privilege and
monopoly—caring for ^private, not public
interests.
Following there misleading ideas and
catchwords, the general policy of the party
now is extravagance. • It opposes tax re
form. If it must come, it opposes change
rather than reform. Cheap whisky, not
cheap goods.
As surely as error is dangerous, so surely
are these iiuge errors full of hazard, oner
ous to society, dangerous to liberty. Gov
ernment expenditures are huge beyond all
precedeui. The money newer is concen
trated by artificial means. There is dan
ger of something like water on tbe brain, or
of what ia vulgarly called “the big head.”
This power needs to be watched aud
checked. It turns all government action
into favoritism. It is organised, wealthy,
intelligent, has control of the press, can
Hire orators and distribute documents, ad
libitum.
How is if to be met? The crisis is now
oi us. Two months will settle iL Tbe
characteristics ot the campaign are un
common. The election rill be de'erniined
(if Bound principles prevail) by argument
not authority, by the body of the people
not by machinery, the patriot not the par
tisans nor placemen. In a word, by the ail
powerful reserves.
We need an aggressive campaign, expos
ing errors and meeting fallacie.- with truth.

Washington, Ga., Sept. 10, 1888.
From thefti'cago Herald.
The passion of adimpic has been esteemed
a glW-' in ail ages since beauty was first
prized. So highly was the dimple regarded
by ancient beauty lovers that they whose
chins were embellished with dainty hollows
were said to “have been marked by tbe fin
ger of God.”
Nothing makes a smile so winsome as a
dimple on either cheek. They come out
from their hid.ng pieces in the rosiest
bloom of tho fsce nnd play coquettish
games of hide-and-seek witli eacli other.
Many a youth has fallen victim to the
charms of a pair of peach bloom dimples.
But the most bewitching of all dimples
are those that frolic into view about tbo
eyes at every ripple of mirth. They are
the rarest o! dimples nnd few faces own
them.
Women whom nature had supplied with
dimples have always taken pride exhibit
ing them. Even tbo masculine mind is
gratified when the chin is cleft with the
sign of divine favor. Women who have
been denied this gift have coveted it from
time immemorial. Latter-day purveyors
to anatomical art have come to he rescue
of plain ones in many ways. Tho last
thing that these scientists have been able
to accomplish is the construction of tho
facial hollows of loveliness. Baris, where

From the NV.v York Min, Aug.
A limited liability company has been
formed at Molleudo with a capital of $40,-
000. It is caiied the Campaiita Aunnima .
Exploradora tie Las Huscasdel Inca, and
its business is to lie the searching of the old
burial grounds of the Peruvian Incas for
buried treasure in money or other val
uables. It has received a concession from
the Peruvian authorities, and proposes to
go at its work in a systematic, businesslike
fashion. The field oi the company has
been pretty well worked over already by
the hoard of haphazard plunderers from
all parts of the world, who have flocked
to Peru from the times of l’izirro till
the present day, but there are yet some
very substantial legends of buried wealth
that has not vet been discovered. Under
the old Castle of Cuzco, for instance,
Felipe de Pomancs tells that there is a
vault containing figures of all the Incat
wrought in fine gold, and that in his own
day they had been seeu by a certain Dona
Maria de EsqneviL She, the story goes,
was married to a descendont of the Inca*,
aud reproached him witli being too poor to
support her properly. This at last so irri
tated him that. he led her blindfolded
through many windingpas*ages into a room
where she saw weaitii such as no mortal
ever dreamed of, and asked her what Bhe
thought of liial for a poor man’s nest egg.
When Humboldt was exploring in the
neighborhood of the Temple of the
Sun at Cuzco a poor lad,
a descendant of the ancient kings, told him
the story which is still current among the
Indians, that the golden chair of the Incas
was sudIl in the baths at Pullnmarac, and
tiiat there are gardens with artificial trees
of the purest gold beneath the temple.
These gardens, by the way, are mentioned
by the earliest historians'l l the conquest.
Humboldt's lad, when asked why he did
not seek for this hidden treasure, said that
it would do him no good if lie found it,'
but would only cause his neighbors to hate
aud injure him. “We have a little field,”
he said, “and good wheat.” That con
tented him. That same spirit seems to
have animated all tbe descendants of the
ancient race of I’erus, aud encourages peo
ple like those who have just put
:40,000 into the Society Exploradora

began:

“Yes, sir.”

“Yes. I haven’t made any here. I made
one in Paris, and it was a very successful
dimple. l am goiDg to open up the busi
ness here, and 1 want a girl upon whom I
have operated Io be in attendance at the
office.”
“You want her as an example of your
handiwork.”
“W-e-l-l, y-e-s,” answered the doctor
hesitatingly. “I want her as an example
of what can be done in the way of creating
perfect dimples. How much salary do you
want?” lie added abruptly.
“What wil. you pay?"
“The girl 1 have now works for $5 n
week."
“Are you not willing to pay more to a
young woman who submits to the opera
tion and then goes on exhibition in your
office?"
“N—o; I can’t say that I am. I’m look
ing for some girl who lives with her pa
rents and is working hard in a factory or
sew or something. You see, she’d have an
easy time in my office—literally nothing
to do but be on band when ladies who
want dimples made calls. It wouldn’t be
putting oneself on exhibition, because you
know it would all be io very private.
Those to whom she was shown wouldn’t
say anything for 'minis’ would be the word
with them.”
“What would yon charge me for making
a couple of dimples ?
The doctor contracted bis features into
an expression of great financial purpose
and said:
“Fifty dollars a dimple.”
"O—li 1 I’m not rich,” cried his visi
tor.
“Well,” replied the artist, “I will not
charge you the same as a wealthy lady.
Kich women must pay me $50 a piece.
You see, every one can’t make dimples.
ncaqua in 1814, when, according to the
story of an old woman of the Astete fam
ily, told to Mr. Markam some thirty years
ago, her father having been a colleague
of Pumacaqua and present at
the time. Pumacaqua entered
the council chambers laden with
old and dripping wet, from a journey he
lad made up the bed of the Huatanay to
a cave filled witli golden figures. It was
always believed then, according to the
historians, that the rebel chiefs had some
such store to draw upon, aud it is cer'ain
that after his final defeat, Pumacaqua
offered to give n pile of gold bigger tuan
that of Atahualpa, tho ancient chieftain,
as a ransom for his life. The offer was de
clined and he died with the secret unre-
vealed, at least to his conquerors.
This Ain’minlj.a, iti: amatter of history,

danger of a scar,

“No; one in the cheek and the other
near one of the eyes.”
“I can’t make them near to the eyes. It’s
dangerous. There’s absolutely no danger
in the cheek or chin, though. The first in
cision is ab« ut as painful ax < vs cisztioc

“Then 1 can’t have it done,” said Ihe

their way to the capital heard tiiat Atahn-
s.lpa bud been strangled, and they threw
down their loads of gold, and it is said,
buried them somewhere in the mountains
of Llangannti to the northwest of Quito,
though no search has ever revealed the
spot. Then there is the golden chain of
the Incas, every link as thick ns a man's
arm, and its length so great that it went

While three and eimitar lrgends do very
well to fire the ardor of dubious invr-tors
in the stock of the Society Exploradora,
it is highly probable that the actual work
of Ihe company will be tbe lest romantic
line of digging up tbe bones of ancient
inhabitants for the take of the trinkets
which may have been buried with them.
Thie sort of petty thievery ia less attrac

Tile Oconee Circuit Jiulgcslilp.
Hawkissville, Hept. 13.- [Communi
cated.]—Your correspondent Irom East
man, in his communication of Sept. 5, in
reviewing the action of the delegates to
the fonrteonth senatorial convention in in
dorsing Judge Kibbee for re-eiec ion as
judge of the Oconee circuit, concludes his
article by saying “Judge Kibbee and.bis
friends may’ continue their work," etc.,
thereby implying that Judge Kibbee had
something to do with the securement of
this indorsement. It is but ju-t to Judge
Kibbee to say that he did nut attend the
convention, nor speak to a delegate in
reference to its work, nor advise or sug/tst
the resolution, or know of its presentation
or adoption until after the convention had
adjourned.
If it was error in tiie convention to in
dorse Judge Kihbe-, it was also error to
have iudoriej Senator Colquitt. Yet no
objection whatever was made to the in
dorsement of the latter gentleman.
