§he lerald and ^dtertiacii. Newnan, Ga., Friday, April 13,1888. 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. Brother Will Camp has a touch of rheumatism. Of course patent medi cines are wanted. R. A. T. April 11th. 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. Old Citizen.

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 tors to run on the Presidential ticket will be chosen. There are unconfirmed rumors that a State ticket will be nom inated. China Grove. 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. The State Convention the It The Republicans of the Fourth Con gressional District will meet in con vention to-morrow at LaGrange, for the purpose of choosing delegates to the National Republican Convention. R, F. Milner, of Coweta, and J. J. Beall, of Troup, will be preseuted to the Convention as candidates. Both are understood to be opposed to Sher man. Dr. I. S. Hopkins, for several years “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 ment at the Presbyterian church last Sunday. The day being so beautiful, the congregation was unusually large. Among the visitors we noticed Mrs. $. O. Smith, and Misses Brantlv, Long, Brown and Methvin; also, Messrs. Jones, Addy, Cock, Dr. Young and Master narmon Smith, all of Senoia. Lee Harris and Dr. Hunter, after much perseverance, have finally suc ceeded in taking a case of the mumps. Mr. McCaslin, of Greenville, was in our community Saturday night. MissVeta Hunter, of your city, is visiting her parents. Mr. J. A. Hunter enlivened our com munity with his genial presence last Wednesday. Miss Genie Cole left for Hatchett City. Ark., a few days since to visit her brother. Tom Johnson ceased the song of the community, “Where is my wandering boy to-night,” by making his sudden appearance Saturday morning. April 10th. The Elite. 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. C. R.

Heidt, formerly president of LaGrange Female College, but notv of Texas, and Dr. J. W. Lee, of Atlanta, are mentioned for the place made va cant by Dr. Hopkins’ retirement. The Meriwether Vindicator has .been interviewing Mark Morgan, who has his house full of antique things. He has a work pocket made of cotton pick ed by fingers, all home-made, made in 1837.'
