Colonel Jones, principal keeper
of tlie penitentiary, returned yes
terday from a trip to Nebraska.
*jie spent two or three weeks in
the west. He says that the "rain
crop is large through Nebraska
and Kansas. In some sections
the crop is larger than last year.
“There is one thing you can
tell the third party people of
Georgia and that is that the re
publicans of the west are going
vote for Harrison," said Col.
Jones. “Tiioy are not going into
the new party. Why one of the
delegates to the Omaha conven
tion "after returning homo pub
v lished a card urging the old vet
erans to vote for Harrison. ‘The
old veterans can never vote for a
rebel ’he wrote. He would not
' accept Field. And that is the
spirit I found among those who
are supposed to be third party
advocates. They are republicans
still and will not support the na
tional ticket while in the south
democrats will split to some ex
tent In both sections the third
yarty.will draw its strength from
the democrats. The western re
publicans are not going to fuse
with the disaffected democrats to

The Home correspondent of the
Constitution in speaking of
Judge Maddox says:
Judge John W. Maddox is in
the race for congress. His many
friends say his nomination by
the democracy is an assured fact
and his election by the people a
logical sequence.
Courageous and strong, Judge
John W. Maddox is the idol of
many an humble citizen’s heart.
That he stands in touch with the
masses in the old seventh distric t
cannot be denied. The poor man
has looked upon him ever since
he donned the ermine as his bul
wark and safeguard—for of all
qualities pre-eminently conspic
ious in his makeup is his great
sense of justice and his hatred of
oppression. Citizens of all occu
pations and callings belioye him
a man with the courage of his
convictions and it looks like they
are going to make him the next
congressman from this district;
and the Judge is assisting them
in their undertaking by speaking
in his happiest yein upon the
hustings of his county.

The Teachers’ Institute of
Walker county which opened on
Monday, July 11th, and closed on
the 16th is now a tiling of the past
as far as dates are concerned, but
it. will ever live in the memories of
of those who attended it and be
remembered as an event of im
portance combined with much
real pleasure. It marks the be
ginning of a new era in the edu->
cational history of the county for
it must be remembered that this
was the first meeting 1 of the kind
ever held in the confines of Walk
er county. It brought together
the entire body of teachers and
gave them the opportunity of
studying and knowing each other.
By knowing each other is not
meant to make mere personal ac
quaiutancc, but to gain that thor
ough knowledge that enables ono
to devise means to advance the
educational interests generally.
Nothing but good can result from
the institute for the teachers now
know thomsolves and are deter
mined to begin the march forward
that will finally result in triumph.
The Institute was conducted by
Prof. W. Harper the able educa
tor of Americas, Ga. His plans
of operation were calculated in
every way to interest and lift to a
higher plane the standard of ed
ucation. His plan for getting at
the ideas and experience of each
teacher worked like a charm, it
was was worked by a svtein of
numbers, and so arranged that
each member was expecting to be
called upon at any time. This
kept every thing on the alert.
Most of Monday morning was
spent by Prof. Harper in lecturing
on general methods which was
highly instructive and entertain
ing. Just before noon ho gave
out the following questions to be
discussed by the teachers in the
afternoon:
(1) “What are the principal
benefits to bo derived from tho
study of Arithmetic?”
(2) “How should tho Art of
Arithmetic be taught as distinct
from the Science!”
(3) “To what extent and in
what way should mental Arith
metic be taught?”
(4) “How should a new rule
bo taken up?”
(5) “Should pupils be requir
ed to learn rules in the words of
the book? Why?”
(6) “How can pupils be pre
vented from making an efl'ort
simply to got answer?”
(7) “To what extent should
neatness and order of arrange
ment of work be required?”
18) What is method of proof
by casting out nines?”
Most of the afternoon was spent
in general discussion, each one
giving what lie considered, tho
best answer to the questions. Af
ter this discussion was finished
Prof. Harper took them up and :
advanced many new thoughts up- |
on them.
On each day following a simi- ,
lar program was carried out tak- ,
ing up a new subject for each
half day. In this way Reading,
Spelling, Geography, English
Grammar, etc., on down the line
of common school studies was ,
fully discussed to the advantage ,
of each one present, for every one 1
had some new idea to advance.
But there is another feature of
each days exercises that should
not be over-looked. It was the
question box. The hat was pass
ed around and little slips of pa
per were dropped into it, upon
which were written questions
which any one desired answered.
These questions were answered in
[he presence of the institute.
On Friday various resolutions
complimentary to Prof. Harper
and the people of LaFayette were
introduced and passed by the
body. Bat the most important

Greensboro Herald Journal: A
fine mare belonging to C. A.
Bmith was killed by a rattlesnake
the other day on his farm near
Liberty. A negro was plowing
the mare in a corn field, and as ho
got to the end of tho row the
mare stepped in some grass and
undergrowth. Tho man heard
the rattle of a snake and in a mo
ment the mare staggered and fell
to the ground. Before anything
could bo done the mare was dead.
The snake escaped, hut it must
have been a large one as it was
not five minutes after she was
struck before the mare was dead.

Through the columns of your
county paper I fed it to be my
duly to say that while I bolieve
in the justice of many of your
claims and demands and am in
perfect sympathy with you in
your oppressed condition, yet nf
tor the most careful thought and
the most faithful and thorough
examination of myself I still find
that I cannot reconcile tho con
victions of my own conscience,
my past party affiliations and
opinions, to such an extent as to
allow mo to honestly and consci
entiously become what would be
considered a true and consistent
and acceptable member of any
other party than that to which 1
have always belonged. If I have
said anything that has done an
injustice to the feelings ofanyono
I can and do assure you that such
was not my purposo and iutou
tion, and therefore I would ask
pardon.
To any and all of my friends ir
respective of parties who may
haye boon looking to’ me as a
probable candidate for office, I
desire to express and return my
thanks. Hut for good and suffi
cient reasons connected only with
| myself and family I shall be com
pelled to refuse to become a can
didate for any office or position
whatever.
And now with the very host of
feelings for all men, 1 hope and
trust that peace and harmony will
prevail to such an extent that no
man will have cause or excuse to
cast his ballot from the agitated
feelings of party prejudice ahd
passion, and thereby bring about
greater and moro serious evils
than than those which now op
press us. I therefore trust every
man will be governed by the prin
ciples of justice, truth and hon
esty between man and man and
work for the greatest good to all
the people.
