I— For Representative) I hereby announce mysilfn can- j didate Ini Representative of Walk- I er county, at the election to lie held on Wednesday, tin' 6th dnv of Oc- ! tnher. 11. P. LUMPKIN. Gen. Walker pronounces thecen- j sus in the S'.nth nhnut perfect. Sam Hill is at large, with little j pmepect that lie will he captured. j Senator Brown, it is stated, will | leave in a few days for Indiana, to J stump that state fur Hancock and ; English. Since the Maine election Boh Ingersoll has changed his opinion. He thinks hell is now located in the Tine Tree State. • ■— An American traveler saw on a London hotel register these j words, "Sir A. T. Gall and fifteen children.’’ The latter were ushered I into the dining room by their gov- , erticss, and were mostly girls, fine ; looking and ive'd behaved. Hancock anil English stand to day on substantially the same plat,.; ’ lorm Lincoln was elected open in 1 1860. The republicans of to day repudiate almost every idea the founders of their party cherished and contended for. In fact, they have virtually reused to lie republi cans and have become cousolida- j tionists. —New York Express, dan. Gen. Toombs’ Kimbal house speech had a double-back-action- i warranted-to-cut in - the-eye-wisli we-had-not-calied-hinr-out effect oi. the Norwood crowd. Instead of denouncing Colquitt, the general took up the charges one by one and either denounced them ns false or approved til's governor’s action in everything except the appoint ment of ex-Gov. Brown. — Gaincs title Eagle. George Mitchell, i n Ohio wife murderer, declaim that his condem nation to death wus just, arid that he would not have it changed if he could. He spent the night before the day appointed for the hanging in loud rejoicings that he was about to go to heaven, but when a reprieve come, lie shouted ; "Bles sed be God; didn’t I always' tell you that the Lord was on the side . trf a Christian urau I” To lire Voters of Walker County. Fellow- Citizen* ; The time for the ehclion of a 1 congressman is rapidly approach ing. lion. J. C. Clements and Dr. Win. II Felton nre candidates for the position. It is evident I lint one of these gentlemen will repre sent us in the nex' Congress. A- voters let us reason together. I and conclude for whom our Votes • should be Ca»t liext November ' Both candidates ate pronounced Democrat-; only, Dr. Felton claims that lie is a better Democrat than his opponent, At anv rate they lire of the fame political faith; and will act With the Democratic party on ail question of National import. j Both are Christian gentlemen, and statesmen of ability. Dr. Fel ton is a minister of the gospel; Mr. Clements is a prominent lav-man j of a Christian church. Dr. Felton I Ims represented us six years in j .'Congress; Mr. Clements, -ix years in the Stale Legislature. Dr. Fel ton has a good record ; Mr. Clem ents' record is faultless. Dr. Felton luis occupied the same position for six years; Mr. Clements has been ! promoted from one position of Iron* t or to another, rind now aspires to | represent us in Congress. Dr. Fel ; ton is a resident of 15 >rtow county; | j Mr. Clements is a citizen of Walker j i county. Bartow has been horu ied j by Bending up a congressman for ] the hist twenty years ; Walker asks i i for the first time, to lie thus honor- ! | ed. Bartow is proud of her repre sentative men ; so was Athens, i Sparta and Rome of old ; and so should Walker he to-day. Rome had her Catos and Ciceros; j Athens, her Demostheneses anil ' ! Holrins; Sprrta, her Leonidases and j I.veurguses. These cities, immortal in the world’s history, were proud ; of their great men, and rewarded | I them for their fidelity to the pub- I lie. Dr. Felton has made‘‘his record”; he is proud of it, and Bartow is proud of him. Mr. Clements, a young man in the vigor of man hood, possessing all the elements of true nobility, rind imbued with a holy ambition to he the pier of *sy j tuan, asks the people of the Fv- j entli Congressional Distncd tuwast !< their votes for him next Ifovoifher. | Mr. Clements will he elected ; Wal- I tier county will be honored, and | every citizen within her borders j will lie proud of J. C Clements, the ! rising young man of North Geor- j gia. A word to our Republican friends; j many of you have supported Mr. i Clements in the past, and you can | support him in this race with as j much propriety and consistency as vou can Dr Felton. A vote for ' Mr. Clements, is a vote for Democ | racy ; a vote for Dr. Felton is a ! vote for Democracy. It matters not, j ■ whether a man be an independent ; . Democrat, or an organized Demo- j crat, in the language of John Chi- j i i anian. he i« a Democrat •‘alle the j samee.” Mr. Clements does iv.it ask i you for your votes, because he is j an organized Democrat ; hut for the better and innr sensible reason, [ that lie desires to represent this dis- j trict in Congress 11 is policy is that of the Democratic party ; so j is Dr. Felton’s. Nmv, my Repuhli- j can friends of Walker, will you sup j port a Democrat of Bartow, ir will you support a Democrat of your j mvn county ? I believe you will I support Mr. Clements. A word with those who have | supported Dr. Felton in the past : j Does it follow, because you have i supported him in the past, that you j should continue to support him ? i Dr. Felton has made an ellicient representative; hut does it follow • that you must continue to return 1 1 hint to Congress ? For the same j reason you might he asked to elect bint for life, or during good heha : vior. Why should we incur the expense of holding an election ev- i ery two years ? Wl.y not elect ev- I erv officer Irotii constable to the United States for life, or during good behavior? You perceive the' argument reduces itself to aa ab surdity. Conceded, that Dr. Fel ton is without blemish, does it fol low that we shall support him, in preference to Mr. Clements? Not at i all. Mr. Clements, as a citizen ol Georgia, has the same right to ask j for vour votes, that Dr. Feilon has. And 1 insist a better light for Mi Clements is not endeavoring to mo nopolize one ofliee for Hie term of: his natural life? You have trusted him in the past. Did he prove 1 recreant ? or rather has he not honored you arid his county ? As citizens of Walker county, proud of her representative men, proud of her growing wealth, proud of her standing among the best law , abiding counties of the Union, let i us ail, Democrats, Republicans and ' Grcenluckcri', turn out "cu mawe" 1 mi the Gtli of November, uud vote for J. C. Clenieiite, the next repre sentative of the Seventh Congres sional district of Georgia. Liiikhal. Tie- I'rotperoiH Hon Hi. Wherever we turn, in Texas, Arkare<iiß, Georgia, nod even in Virginia, we read only of rapidly in j Creasing prosperity and of general well-doing. It wiil not do lor , Southern men, after such an oflieial allowing, to complain of the pover ty of their region. The sent ern ! atatea are prosperous. It would not he extra'H'.'nnt In any llml their people are on the wholi more prosperous than those ol most parts of the north. Uudouhtedlv the con j di lions of living are easier in the | south than in the north. Hut the | change for the better in the last four years is very remarkable.— Everywhere we read of new indus tries starting in life; manufactories of various kinds are rapidly in creasing and t iving employment to increasing numbers of poor whites, 1 to whom factory life is a distinct advance in the scale of property.— The business of market gardening for northern consumption has been i found so profitable that vegeta ble and small fruit-gardens are found in all the states from \ Virginia to Louisiana. It is absurd : to charge that a region thus health | fully prosperous is lawless or idle, j The south produced last year the ! largest cotton crop in its history, j ; and this year’s crop is even greater. I lint over and above the cotton.it is j producing a multitude of other things which were totally unknown in the southern states before the | j war. With a more healthful politi- j ! cal life such as wou'il follow from u | I “divided” south, this prosperity I would he still more rapidly in- 1 creased.— New York Herald. —» . All Infamous Charge. “If we can get a fair vote in .the upper counties this time, it will j cunt largely you may he s'-rn. j We will not have stuffed blillot j | boxes, nor bulldozing of the colored j people like it was in "We heard a story from Walker county a few weeks ago. Just be «fore the last election two honest col ored men, who lived in the lower edge of the county and who had 1 bought small farina by their indus [ try and energy, were visited bv I j masked horsemen After night, on ] the eve of the election and asked I who they intended to vote fir. j "Felton," said they. “All right,” I said the maskers, if yon do. pre- I pare to die, because if you arc found j j outside vour houses to-morrow he- I I tween sunrise and sundown we j j shall kill you and hum you un in | your houses” Os course they j i stayed at home. That was one dodge to keep off a vote or two.” j We clip the above from nil edi- j ' tonal in the Cartersville Free Press, j We have no comment to make. If | ; this don't insult the intelligence of j every Democrat and Republican in Walk' r count - , whether he lie white j or black, then we don’t know what | would. There never has been any | ; such conduct in Walker county, as j every citizen knows. —i ♦ - Col. Forney estimates that in Philadelphia tip to this time 7 599 1 Reputilicans have signified their purpose to vote for Hancock. lie says the number will tie increased j by the day * f election. ——♦ «■» - MAYS IN GENERAL. Clipped With a Sharp Pair of Scissors. Albany has received 3,000 bales ! of new cotton. The recent heavy rains have d im aged the cotton crop considerably. One hundred and sixty-nine thousand, three hundred seventy cross ties have been laid during tl e |iast year. Cheese exports in June of this veer from the United States wele “22121.000 lbs., heine about 50 per eent. greater than those of Inst year for the same month.
