Last Tuesday was a good day for
Coweta’s candidates for Congress and
for Commissioner of Agriculture. On
that day the Meriwether County Alli
ance indorsed Hon. C. L. Moses for
Congress by an almost unanimous vote,
al from tlio race for Governor, assign
ing as a cause for this step tho precari
ous state of his health, which would
not permit him to make an active can
vass of tho State. This loaves Mr. Nor-
then the only candidate iu tho Held,
though he would undoubtedly linve
been elected even if Col. Ilnrdemnn
hud remained in tho race.
Tiik recent trade issue of the Whitoa-
burg Advance was an admirable num
ber, and would have done credit to any
country newspaper oillco in Georgia.
Tlie Advance is a capital paper, anyway,
us wo have hud occasion to remark be
fore, and it. is entitled to several addi
tional feathers in its cap ns a reward for
its latest and best achievement.
Hon. Jas. B. IIunnicutt carried four
counties last Tuesday—Coweta, Meri
wether, Madison and Elbert—which
gives him twelve votes in tho State
Convention. Tho indications are that
he will carry the Fourth Congressional
district almost solidly, and his “boom”
seems to bo extending all over the
State.
Franklin News: “Hon. W. Y. At
kinson is a candidate for re-election to
tho House from Coweta. Col. Atkin
son was one of tho ablest and most
active members of tho last Legislature
and Coweta cannot afford not to return
him. The State needs men who are
active and willing to work on the right
side of important questions.”
Tiik State Bond has been leased by
the Louisville and Nashville road for a
term of twenty-nine years, at a month
ly rental of $35,000. This is $10,000 per

The Alliance is strong in Meriwether,! for Hon. J. B. Goodwyn," addressed
and with the support of its members it "to the Democratic voters of Coweta

in which this sentence occurs:
Tie it was who first introduced a bill
to reduce the inspection fees on fertil
izers, which bill would have become a
law had not some dignitaries (who now
hold high offices both in State and Al
liance,) used* their influence against its
passage.”
In your report, in the last issue of
your paper, of the speech made by Mr.
Goodwyn in the Court-house last Thurs
day, substantially the same language is
attributed to him. From this it a|v
pears that Mr. Goodwyn claims for
himself the honor of being the first
man that ever introduced in the Geor
gia Legislature a bill to reduce the in
spection fees on commercial fertilizers.
With not the slightest disposition to
disparage bis present candidacy, and
still less to bring myself before the pub
lic (for I nni in no sense a candidate for
any office) but solely for the purpose of
correcting an error and of “giving hon
or to whom honor is due,” (if, indeed,
there be any special honor in it,) I write
nnd request the publication of this card
in your columns,
Mr. Goodwyn was elected to tho Leg
islature of 1884, which was bis first and
only service in that capacity. On the
21st day of July. 1881, at the summer
session of the Legislature of 1880, of
which hotly I had the honor of being a
member, 1 introduced a bill to reduce
the fees for inspecting fertilizers and
chemicals. (See Journal II. R. 1881,
p. 148.) The bill was referred |where
I naturally supposed it would find
friends, to the House Committee on
Agriculture, composed of fifty-two
prominent farmers, with lion. James
M. Smith, of Oglethorpe, the wealthiest
and most extensive farmer in the State,
ns its chairman, the lion. W. L. l’cek,
now at the bend of the Alliance Ex
change at Atlanta, as the second, nnd
tlie lion. W. J. Northon, present can
didate for Govornor, as tlie third mnn
on that committee. Walker of Jasper,
Jones of linker, Strother of Lincoln,
and forty-eight other leading farmers
of the House were on tlie committee.
(See Legislative Manual of 1880 pp. 32
and 33.) Mr. Goodwyn, if correctly re
ported, says his bill in 1884 (which, it is
claimed, was tlie first of its kind ever
introduced, when, in fact, mine was in
troduced more than three years before)
"was only defeated through the machi
nations of outsido parties, working
through certain members of the Legis
lature,” etc. My bill, in 1881, was de
feated by this snmo able Committee on
Agriculture—theso same fifty-two far
mers—holding their positions on said
committee by virtue of the fact that
they were farmers, and supposed to
have at heart such legislation as would
benefit tho agriculturalists of tlie State;
for on tlie 28th dny of July, 1881, that
committee unanimously reported,
through its chnirmnn, recommending
that the hill do not pass. (Sea Journal
H. R. 1881, p. 288-0.) Here, then, was
a lawyer attmiiptlng legislation in the
interest of tlie farmer, but tho fifty-
two farmers composing the Committee
on Agriculture opposing, protesting
and defeating him.
Now, 1 don’t claim absolutely to have
been tlie first man that ever introduced
iu tlie Georgia Legislature n bill for
the reduction of these fees, for I am
not sufficiently acquainted with tho
Journals of tlie Legislatures preced
ing the onoof which I was a mon.bor to
so assort; but so far ns my information
extends 1 believe 1 urn tho man who
first, introduced such a bill. Tills much
is true: I introduced it raoro.thnn three
years before Mr. Goodwyn could lmvo
possibly done so. W. A. Host.

Abner W. Calhoun.
Atlanta Constitution.
It wns announced in our dispatches
yesterday that tho Stato University
liad conferred tlie degree of LL. D. oil
Dr. Abner W. Calhoun, of Atlanta.
This is a case in which tho distinction
conferred confers distinction on tho
University. It udds nothing to the
honors of a man who is honored every
day as few other men have been, but
it gives honor to tho University to sin-
glo out such a man as Dr. Calhoun for
Us compliment.
Tho action of the University simply
calls public attention to tho unique
distinction that lms been achieved by
Dr. Abner W. Calhoun in the practice
of his profession—a profession which
ho has so elevated and ennobled that
even those who might be disposed to
be critical, if not cynical, cannot speak
of him without a kindling enthusiasm.
Wlmt is the secret of this distinction?
It is not that ho lms mastered his
profession. There were experts before
Dr. Calhoun was born, and the new
methods of treatment are but varia
tions of old forms Unit have long been
familiar. None of its secrets are closed
to the keen eye, the quick hand and the
comprehensive mind.
Tlie distinction that Dr. Calhoun lms
won is duo to the fact that lie lias
moulded his profession into nn {instru
ment of good -not casually, but, first
and last, and all the time. His is the
uplifting und tlie beneficent hand that
heals tho deop wounds of poverty—liis
the pitying soul that sees deeper than
the surface of disease. Thousands all
over tlie country bless the good physi
cian for heulingthe ailments of tlieir
tlcsli, and many thousands more bless
him for healing the sorrows of the mind.
At his threshold wenlth sheds its arro
gance nnd poverty lays aside its rags of
humiliation.
All the houorsof all universities could
not confer on this man the distinction
ho has won for himself in giving to his
profession the practical touch of benevo
lence, and to bis daily conduct tlie ideal
grace and dignity that belong to tho -
highest development of citizenship.
Death of Hon. B. M. Leverett.
Meriwether Vindicator, 27th lilt.
At lust the end lms come. We were
met on our return home last Tuesday
evening with the announcement tlmt
Hon. B. M. Leverett was no more.
After a long illness he has taken a final
farewell of earth and earthly friends.
He was a prominent and useful citizen
of this county for fifty years and one
of our truest friends. His death is a
personal loss and to tlie county a great
misfortune.
Mr. Leverett was upwards of seventy
years old and had held various offices
of public trust. About 1852 be repre
sented the county in the Legislature; he
served long and faithfully as magistrate
and as a member of the county board
of commissioners and of education. In
all his public career he was a man of
conviction and sound judgment, look
ing after public interests as faithfully
and closely as those of a private charac
ter. Honesty and economy marked his
administrarionmf county matters, while
his legiskitivo career wns devoted to the
interests of hi.- county ami State.
Ill pr.vale life Judge Lev.-rett was a
most aeiii.tl giMiili-m in, true friend and
helper of the poor nod needy. He wns
a member of the Presbyterian church,
and, though sick for the past, two years
and suffering greatl y, lie never murmur
ed at the dispensations of an over rul
ing Providence.
lie leaves a number of sons nnd
daughters to mourn bis death. His
stricken widow lingers in sadness and
sorrow, mourning tlie lossof tlie best of
husbands. No man ever had more de
voted children or warmer friem.s.
The deceased was buried last Wed
nesday morning at the Presbyterian
church above town, a large number of
sorrowing friends from town and coun
try attending the burial.
lie sleeps well. All honor to his
memory.

since as an honorable and cultured
gentleman and faithful public olllcer.

Of the Fourth Congressional district as
a man eminently qualified for the posi
tion.
As soon as the above resolution was
carried, Judge Sampson W. Harris was
callod for and delivered a speech on
tho living issues of the day. He ex
plained his position on all the questions
now before tlie people. Ilia tribute to
old Carroll, her Democracy, her sol
diers, and her all, wns grand and sub
lime. He was frequently applauded.
"July.” says Mr. Hicks, "ought to

will bring a marked rise in temperature
with vor.v manifest tendencies of
