WEEKLY CIRCULATION, 1,750.
JAH. F, BROWN. Etutor.
Not Satisfied.
The Senoia Sentinel is not satisfied
with the action of the County Remo- ]
cratic Executive Committee in return
ing to the old ten-delegate system in
the selection of delegates to the county
convention to meet here on the first
Tuesday in May, and thinks a mass
meeting should have been ordered.
The Sentinel is right. The selection of
delegates to the convention referred to
involves no local issues and jeopard
izes no personal interests. The onlv
political question that will legitimately
come up for discussion in that meeting
is the tariff, and it is one of supreme
interest just now—so much so that the
fullest latitude should be afforded the
Democracy of the county in discussing
it. It is of the utmost importance that
such a delegation be chosen as will
fairly represent the views and wishes
of the county Democracy in the State
Convention, because in the selection of
delegates to the National Democratic
Convention the indorsement of the Ad
ministration's tariff reform policj ivill
be made a distinct issue. That is to say,
it is unquestionably the duty of the
State Democracy to indorse Mr. Cleve
land’s administration, for his policy of
tariff reform is in accord with the
views of a majority of his party adhe
rents in this section, and he is beyond
doubt the choice of the party for re-elec
tion; and yet it is already suspected that
certain designing politicians will bring
influences to bear upon the State Con
vention to defeat this purpose. This may
he accomplished by selecting a delega
tion pretendedly favorable to Mr.
Cleveland’s renomination, but really
opposed to him, because opposed to his
announced policy of tariff reform.
This must be guarded against, and it is
the fear that the matter may not re
ceive that attention which its impor
tance demands that we would prefer a
mass meeting on the first Tuesday in
May instead of a convention composed
of a limited number of delegates from
the different militia districts. If the
county Democracy are in favor of
Cleveland and tariff reform the district
delegates should be so instructed when
they are sent up to the county con
vention. Moreover, in selecting dele
gates to the State Convention they
should be instructed to cast the vote of
Coweta county for such delegates to
the National Democratic Convention
only as are avowedly in favor of Mr.
Cleveland’s renomination and in sym
pathy with his administration. Oppo
sition to the present policy of the Ad
ministration means opposition to Mr.
Cleveland—-nothing less—and opposi
tion to Mr. Cleveland means defeat for
the Democratic party in November,
because no other man can l ead the par
ty to victory. A mass meeting would
afford the fullest scope for the discus
sion of this question, and it is one that
ought to be discussed fully and seri
ously. For the reasons here given
we are satisfied that a meeting of the
united Democracy of the county would
be preferable to the plan adopted by
the Executive Committee, and this
• opinion is shared by many others who
cake the same serious view of the ques
tions that will come up for discussion
on that occasion. With but a single ex
ception, so far as we have observed,
mass meetings have been called all
over the State, and no good reason can
be shown why this should not have
been done in Coweta, also.
Turin.
Mr.Editor:—Your reporter took in
Luthersville last Saturday. The town
was overflowing with Alliance men
and women. I suppose from the num
ber of ladies in attendance from the
surrounding country that they are also
members of the order. Rev. Mr. Jack-
son was on hand, and gave his Alliance
brethren one of those impressive
speeches which he is so well capacita
ted to make. Your correspondent
heard but little of the speech, but
heard it favorably spoken of by those
who were fortunate enough to hear it
entire. In fact, some expressed the
opinion that if the speaker desired, a
seat in Congress he had only to signify
his desire and the same would be done.
Now, candidly speakir.g, I am favora
bly impressed with the order and think
it has a mission for good; but to begin
to insinuate politics so early into its
organization will cripple its usefulness
and ultimately prove its downfall. The
organization had better steer clear of
politics, and fawning politicians. Ob
servation sustains the charge that, poli
ticians in the past have done injury to
similar organizations. Hence, if the
friends of the Farmers’ Alliance hope
to succeed they should at once cease to
talk of what they can or will do in the
line of politics. Nay, friends, stick to
your legitimate and often declared in
tention of only being a Farmers’ Alli
ance.
Wt made calls upon the families of
Messrs. Mike Hindsman, William Up
shaw and Captain Trammell. We re
gret to report Mr. Upshaw as being
quite sick at the time of our visit. He
is now in his eighty-sixth year and his
excellent lady has passed her fourscore
of years. So many long years having
blessed this union, how few should be
the regrets when the time of separa
tion comes.
A few pleasant moments were spent
with “Uncle” John Albright, another
aged and highly respected citizen of
the “ville.”
Miss Summers, of Senoia, is engaged
in the music department of Prof. Seals’
school, and is giving general satis
faction-just as all of the young ladies
who go out from Senoia to teach do.
Hospitality at the home of Dr. Aul-
man is acknowledged. The Doctor is
one of the most untiring workers of his
age, and some day, when he must be
laid to rest, the shout will be, “Well
done, good and faithful servant ”
The heavy rains have thrown farmers
behind in every section of the county.
I cannot remember to have ever seen
so little work done for the time of the
spring.
Dr. Stacy preached in Turin last Sun
day evening.
Mr. L. T. Moses is among his old
friends this week, happy over the late
accession to his family, which he re
ports to be another fine boy.
Mi’s. Wilber Jones is sick with chills.
Miss Myrtice Scroggin, of Newnan,
spent a few days with Turin friends.
Come again, Myrtle, you are always
welcome here.
Our school discussed on last Friday,
“Which is of greatest service to the
country, the printing press or the
steam engine.” Woman’s suffrage will
be the next question for discussion.

place between Mr. Carmie.il and my
self on Saturday, and that that was
the first intimation I had had of any
such discussion. In the Court-house,
when it was proposed to meet at 2
o’clock to have a discussion, I thought
on the spur of the moment it was sug
gested from the fact that Mr. Carnu-
cal, a great free trader, and myself, a
high tariff man, were present. I was
certainly not informed at the time nor
previously that any such discussion was
expected. I have never run from a
free trader, nor an advocate of the in
ternal revenue law, and feel at all
times competent, when I may have ray
documents with me, to cope with any
and all of them that may attack me.
I only act in self-defense and have nev
er yet challenged any one to a discus
sion. Respectfully, Benj. Leigii.
THE 10 CENT
STORE.
We have now in stock a better as
sortment of goods than we have ever
carried. We simply ask a comparison
of our prices with others to' convince
the public that we are headquarters for
goods in our line. Note the following:
I Communicated. I
A Suggestion.
While vet a little early, (and I must
admit there is no occasion for undue j
haste,) I have been looking around with
the view of determining (for my own
satisfaction) whom we shall select, to rep
resent us in the next Legislature. The
coming session of the General Assembly
will be an important one, and will
require both wisdom and experience to
secure such legislation as will be needed
in adjusting the various questions that
will vex that body. We will need our
very best men, and for once our people
should lay aside all other considerations
and give their support to men of known
ability and courage. Among those who,
by reason of experience and ability,
seem specially qualified for the duties
of legislator I am convinced that no one
would be more acceptable to the voters
of Coweta or to the people at large
than Major U. B. Wilkinson. He is one
of our oldest and best citizens; has
served one term in the Legislature, with
honor to his county and credit to him
self ; is closely identified with the man
ufacturing and agricultural interests of
the community ; prudent and conserva
tive enough to be safe on all questions,
and yet aggressive in his advocacy of
measures affecting the general welfare
—and if elected would, I believe, render
efficient and satisfactory service to his
constituency. That lie would do _ Ins
whole duty,' without favor or affection,
no one can doubt who knows him.

At the Third Party Prohibition meet
ing, to be held in Atlanta on April 24,
it is proposed to have addresses from
Rev. Sam W. Small, of Washington
City; Gen. Clinton B. Fiske, of New Jer
sey; Neal Dow, of Maine; John P. St.
John, of Kansas, and Prof. Sessions, of
the Atlanta University, a red-hot Re
publican. Delegates well be elected to
the National Prohibition Convention,
-vhich meets in Indianapolis, and elec

will be chosen. There are unconfirmed
rumors that a State ticket will be nom
inated.

Mr. Editor:—Such lovely days as we
are having now arouse our sleeping
Muse, if we are the fortunate posses
sor of such; or, if we cannot aspire to
the divine realm of poesy, there is an
inclination to quote other peoples’
“thoughts that breathe and words that
burn,” relative to this season—
A Sexton for the Cemetery.
Mr. Editor:—Will you kindly per
mit us to call the attention of our “city
fathers” and the public to a subject
which, if only from motives of city
pride, should command their considera
tion—that of providing a suitable per
son to take charge of our city cemetery.
The acts of vandalism committed there
are becoming more and more intolera
ble. and if possible should be stopped.
The enclosures there represent proper
ty-property of the most sacred char
acter—and certainly are entitled to the
best protection of an enlighted and
progressive people. When, prompted
by the affection we bear toward our de
parted loved ones, we place our floral
offerings upon their tombs, or beau
tify the grounds with choice ever
greens. we dislike to see them removed
by the sneak thief, or despoiled by
mischievous idlers. Certainly our citi
zens are, progressive enough to give
this matter proper attention. Let
us have a s«xton. Many Ladies.

“She brings us gifts, the royal maiden;
Fair flowers to deck the hills.
With primroses her arms are laden,
Bluebells and daffodils;
Pale crocuses have gone before her,
Wild flowers her welcome sing,
Ten thousand longing hearts adore her,
The gay world’s darling—Spring.”
Dr. Stacy filled his regular appoint

Temperance
Postponed.
To the officers and members of
Georr/ia Temperance Association:
having been represented to your Ex
ecutive Committee that the time order
ed for a State Temperance Convention
comes so close to, and conflicts with,
the Baptist State Convention, Memo
rial Day, and other important State
Conventions, so as to prevent the at
tendance of many who desire to be
present: ,
It is, therefore, ordered that the
time be changed from the 25th Inst, to
the 8th day of May next, at 10 o’clock,
at which time the convention will meet
in Representative Hall, in the city of
Atlanta, for the purpose indicated m
the previous call. .
Besides the representation provided
for in the first call, delegates will be
admitted from each union, lodge, or
prohibition club in the State in the
proportion of one for every fifty mem
bers or fractional part thereof.
Arrangemen s have been made tot-
reduced rates on the railroads, and
delegates will be entertained free ot
charge by the citizens of Atlanta.
Unless a more suitable time can be
selected, the proper authorities are re
quested to call meetings to appoint del
egates on the first Tuesday in May.
By order of the Executive Committee.

bought fifty-five years ago. Uncle
Mark Morgan moved to Coweta county

at the place he first settled. He is
well-known throught the county as one
