OUR OWN SECTION—WH LABOR FOR ITS ADVANCEMENT.
GA., SATURDAY MORNING, SEPTEMBER 25 , 1880 .
From Harper’s Magazine.
Other Fellows think so Too.
There’s just one thing a man ear. have
In all this world of woe and strife,
That makes the business not too bad,
And that one thing's an easy life
Dost fancy that I love my girl
For rosy cheeks or raven hair ?
She holds my heart because she laughs—
Because she laughs and doesn’t care.
I put my boots just where it suits,
And find them where I put them, too;
That is a thing you must allow,
A chap can very seldom do;
I have uty papers on my desk,
She never dusts them in a heap,
Or takes to light the kitchen stove
Tito very one I want, to keep.
On winter nights my cozy dame
Will warm per toes before the fire;
She never scolds about tbo lamp,
Or wants the with u trifle higkor;
On Sunday she is not so fine
But what her ruffles I can hug;
I light my pipe just where I please,
Aud spill tho ashes on the rug.
The bed is never filled with '‘shams’ —
A thing some women vilely plan
To worry servants half to death, •
And spoil the temper of a man.
She lets me sleep to any hour,
Nor raises any horrid din
If it just happens now and then
To he quite late when I come in.*
I tell you, Jack, if you would wed,
Just get a girl who lets things run;
She’ll keep her temper like a lamb,
Aud help you on to lots of tun.
Don't look for money, style or show,
Or blushing boauty ripe and rare;
Just take the one who laughs at fate—
Who laughs, aud shows she doesn't care.
You think, perhaps; our household ways
Are just perchance a little mixed;
Oh, when they get too horrid bad
We stir about and get things fixed;
What compensation lias a man
Who earns his bread by sweat of brow,
If home is made a battle-ground,
Aud life one long eternal row ?
Tlie ‘Agony of Getting up.
‘The greatest trial in the life of a
Southern fanner boy is getting up sum¬
mer morning,' remarked a gentleman
as he sat with a party of frieodB
•When I was a boy the voice of ruy
father, calling me mornings, struck ter¬
ror to the core of my heart. Just about
daylight, in that hazy time of day when
you can gape into listless bliss aud
stretch into paradise, tbo old genteman
would step to the foot of the stairs aud
call:
•John, oh John.’
‘Ye e-s, sir.’
•Get up. Broad daylight. Get up
and feed the horses while your mother's
gettin’ a bite to eat- Hurry up, We
must finish that corn before it rains.
Are you coming!' i
‘No answer.’
•John.’
‘To e s, sir!’
‘Are you coming !'
‘Yes, sir.'
‘Who could get up at such a time?
Who could break a spell born of heav¬
en? Another stretch. The refreshing
air comes through the window. How
delightful! A winking struggle be¬
tween consciousness and a delightful
oblivion. A gentle doze. I dream that
1 am up. I go out to the stablo and
begin putting the gear upon my horse.
In tying the hame-striug I lift the horse
from the ground. He goes up in the
air, and catching hold of the hame
string I float with the animal out of tho
door and around tho lot.
•Git out of this bed, oir,’ and my
father grabs me.
‘I—I thought I was up. I’ll get up.’
‘Get right up here,’ aud bo bands me
my pants. I take hold of them. My
eyes are 60 heavy that I cant’t see. I
feel straDge. 1 seem to be coming from
the spring with a bucket of water,
’Put on them breeches, I toll you.
Well, if he hasn't gone to sleep trying to
put on his clothes !
‘Finally, I put on the pants and reach
for my jacket. ‘Hurry up!’ Bays the old
gentleman, turning from the door to soe
how well the work was progressing. I
sit on the side of the bod and begin
putting on my socks. The old gentle¬
man has gone down, I pull on one
sock and lean my head against tho bed¬
post. I loose all presence of mind.
Again I doze.
‘Whack, whack, whack..’
‘I'm up. Oh, dog gon it, I’m up. I
won’t do it any more. Oh, oo-ugh.'
’Come on, this minute sir.’
‘Everything is clear. I am wide
awake. I hear the steaming tea-kettle
as I pass the kitchen door, aud even
whistle as I cut oats for the horses. 1
suppose that nearly every Southern
boy whose parents were not wealthy
has gone through a similar experience.'
----
Vote for Alfred II. Colquitt.
Bluffing The Crowd.
Soon after dinner the other day seven
or eight politicians were smoking and
chatting under the Woodward avenue
portico of tho city hall, wheat they
looking, were joined by a long hatred, mild
loug-waistod stranger, who
seernod just dead with consumption.
He leaned against one of tho stone col¬
umns and listened to the talk for few
minutes, and exhibited no great interest
until one of the party asserted his be¬
lief that Garfield would carry Ohio.
‘How much d-d-do you Want to bet
that he will ?’ inquired tho stranger as
he straightened up.
‘O, I wouldn't mind a bet of ten dol¬
lars/
‘I’ll bet you one thonaand dollars
against two ii-hundred,’ continued tho
stranger, as ho went down into his coat
tail pocket and fished up an enormous
wad of money,
Tbo politician crawfished, on the
ground that ho never bet, and the
stranger looked around and asked:
‘Is there anybody h-bero who w-wants
to b.bot that Hancock will be ‘Llected?
I’ll b-bet him a t-thousand to five h-hun¬
dred!'
There were no takers. Then he
waved his wad of bills on high and
said.
'I'll tn-mako the th« same b bet that
Garfield will be defeated!'
The crowd looked at each other and
theu across tho street, each man as
dumb as a clam. The silence lasted
for a minute, aud theu one of the group
remarked:
‘Well, it will probably be a eloso
struggle.'
‘W-will it? I’ll hot you a thousand
to live h-hundreu that it won't b-bc'/
promptly replied the strangor.
No one spoke again for thirty seconds,
and then the remark was made that
both parties were preparing for a great
struggle.
‘Struggle b-be durned! Tl! b-bot you
live h hundred to three Li-hundred Unit
there won’t be any struggle!'
One or two men shoved tltv/r hands
in their pockets and jingled-tliei.r keys,
but it ended right there. Wbeu tbo si¬
lence had grown painful, tho consump¬
tive asked:
‘Do any of you g-gentlemen notice
any impediment in my speech ?’
■Yes.’ they all r plied together.
‘P-put up your m money—one t thou¬
sand to two h-hundred that 1 don’t
stutter any more than any of y you!’
exclaimed tho man as he began to uutie
the string around his roll of bills.
Not a hand moved, aud in a minute
the stranger waved his money and said:
‘Or I’ll b-bet you live hundred even
up that I do s-8-stutter like blazes ’
Oue backed softly into tho hall, fol¬
lowed by a seconu and a third, aud in
a minute tho stranger was left alone.
Then he untied tho string, pulled two
oue-dollar bills off the roll and put them
in his pocket aud threw away the ‘core/
which was simply a wad of blank pa¬
per. Lie had bluffed the crowd over
and over again on exactly two dollas.
A Tradition of Pine Mountain.
It is a fact well known to men now
living’ that in former years tho set¬
tlers,inJHarris couuty about Pine Moun¬
tain, got the toad they used for moul¬
ding bullets from some place on the
mountain. In these latter years no one
seemed to Kuowjof the spot from
which it was obtained. It might bo
worth looking up. A good load mine
would be a valuable discovery, the ore
found forty or fifty years ago must
have beeu taken from or very neartbo
surface, and it was said to be very fine
—perhaps ninety percent, of lead, 'the
old hunters—notably Mr. Zeko Brown
who lived on the Wbitesvillo road not
far from tho Mulberry, moulded bullots
from the ore direct. Wo hope, if there
is any valuable miueral in the Pino
Mountain, in quantities sufficient to
make mining profitable, that it will bo
discovered aud “unearthed.” Wo have
hoard before that there was gold in
this mountain, but the existence of lead
was not known to us before. In those
old days of which we have been writing,
there were “rattlesnakes ’ along there,
too. Mr. Zeke Brown, named above,
used to say that bo had rattlesnakes
enough on bis place to "fence it iu” if
each snake bad been a fonco rail, but
they never hurt him, as lie always kept
on hand a sovereign antidote, peach ami
honey. Some of the descendants of
these snakes are still to be found, and
the remedy for their bites has never
been forgotten by any inhabitant of old
Harris- — Columbus Times.
In ODe Atlanta House that polls fifty
votes, forty-eight are for Colquitt;
anothor polls sixty, and only seven aio
for Norwood; another, a dry goods
house, out of forty gives Colquitt thirty
eight. And vet there are people who
claim Fulton county for Norwood.
NOTES ON THE CAMPAIGN.
YI Indorsements.
I am under an engagement, which I
can best discharge at this noint. to dis¬
cus i Mr. Norwood’s so cal'ed indorsers
The merits of a question cannot be set¬
tled in this way. Put when the Norwood
men retreat behind ‘the shadows of
groat names/ the temptation to strip
them of ‘that last resort of error’ may
bo indulged. Besides, the indorsers
aro entitled to duo notice of their prin¬
cipal’s dishonor.
THE FORGERIES.
It is not true that some of tho alleged
securities have indorsed Mr. Norwood
at all. They are not even accommoda¬
tion acceptors. Ben Hill is heralded as
an indorser; and yet, not even that in¬
carnated cork screw, an Atlanta repor¬
ter, could extract one word in favor of
Norwood from him. This gantleman
has not been heard from on 'any point
relating to Governor Colquitt since the
Legislature emphatically rebuked his
insinuations about the Northeastern
Railroad bonds, except to indorse Sena¬
tor Brown as having won upon his
entrance to that body the confidence
and respect of tho leaders of the Senate,
If Alex. Stephens has indorsed Nor¬
wood; ho too, has not lot it be known.
On the contrary, he expressly indorsed
Colquitt by the public declaration in
Atlanta during the convention, that
Colquitt’s majority entitled to the nomi¬
nation. If he has gone back on that,
nobody knows it. As Mr. Stephens is
too diminutive and too honest to bo on
both sides of a question at the same
time, it is fair to infer that he is still on
tho right one. Hon- John A. Seephens,
his nephew, who may be presumed to
respect the opinions of his eminent,
kinsman, declined to indorse Mr. Nor ¬
wood's candidacy by remaining ou the
committee upon which he was appoint¬
ed.
JUDGE WARNER.
Against Judge Warner, who has
aroused from his long nap on tho Su¬
premo bench, to gratify and old feud
against Walter T. Colquitt by antago
nixing his son, i will offset Judge James
Jackson. Martin J. Crawford, and Lo¬
gan E Bleckley. Any one of those is
the equal of Judge Warner, but 1 throw
in tho other two for good measure
Tbo spectacle of the retired Chief
Justice contradictiug. in the zeal of
political hate, tho decisions of Judge
Lumpkin, rendered in the serenity of
judicial impartiality, respecting the at
toruey's lien, is a lamentable instance
of tho fact that men may live too long
lor their own reputation.
GENERAL TOOMBS.
Ti is distinguished revolutionist has
been found on tho side of anarchy, dis¬
ruption aud defeat ever since ho enter¬
ed public, life and his alliance witn Nor
woodism only serves to fix the charac¬
ter of this movement as revolutionary
and hopeless, lie denounces all of Mr.
Norwood’s charges against Gov. Col¬
quitt as false, aud says tho only bad
act of Colquitt’s administration was the
appointment of Joe Brown. As this
gentleman has got the best of Mr.
Toombs in all the contests they evor
bad, and as bis judgement is as safe as
Toombs’ genius is destructive it is with
perfect confidence that ho is named as
Mr. Toombs' opponent in this duel.
EX GOV. SMITH.
Ic would be unreasonable to expect
that ex Gov. Smith would not support
his old schoolmate in Ibis race; espe¬
cially after Mr. Norwood’s taunt that
Colquitt appointed him to offiee to si
lencit his opposition. But Mr. Nor¬
wood’s friends are not the friends of
Gov. Smith. They are printing as a
campaign document a speech iu which
Gov. Smith denounces Colquitt for
abuse of the convict system. This
speech was delivered in Columbus on
one night, and the next morning the
“facts and figures" came out from the
records that those abuses were five
times as great under Gov. Smith's ud
miuistiatiou as under Gov. Colquitt's.
It there could be any crucifixion more
cruel to Gov. Smith than to continue to
circulate this speech among people
cognizant of what the records show,
I caunot Imagine ic. Gov. Smith is
the ablest and most honest of Gov.
Colquitt's toes. He is the only one who
has not told us, iu effect, that it is infa¬
mous to fiave belonged to tho Confede¬
rate army, and that any allusion to
fidelity iu the war is au insult to
Southern people. Oa the contrary, his
owu speech appeals to the military
spirit; and as tie is no renegade, it is
fitting to pit against him in tbij array
a foetnan worthy of hia steel—one whom
the scorching rays of slander have il¬
luminated, not consumed, and whose
brigades still follow him in peace as iu
war—John B. Gordon.
GENERAL LAWTON.
Against him. I mention his equally
distinguished partuer, Henry R, Jack¬
SI A YEAR.
NO. :)i
son. As Savannah is Mr. Norwood's
homo, Gen- Jackson's support of Col¬
quitt is more significant than Gen.
Lav ton's s ipp-u-r. <f Norwood. As
Gi n. Jackson is no candidate fir Seua
for, his attitude is less significant than
Gen. Lawton's ou the senatorial ques¬
tion. I honor Gen. Lawton as much as
any one else in Georgia honor’s him,
bur. I can riot give hint that confidence
in I his issue iu which ho would Do en¬
titled if no aspirations were in his
mind, which might deflect his opinions
oi meu an i measures.
A KILKENNY FIGHT.
But enough; after this array of load¬
ing men on different sides, it would be
into resting to wa'eh Norwood leaders
fight it out among thcmsoives Firs'.
Geo. Toombs would denouooe them all
a3 “no gentlemen” for making base
charges against Colquit; when he only
did one thing wrong. Judge Warner
and Gon. Lawton would engage in an
animated wrangle about the fee paid by
Colquitt for the collection of the State
Road claim; and in tho heat cf argu¬
ment Judge Warner wouhl observe that
Gen. Lawton would stand in a better
position to attack Colquitt if he would
refund his part of that fee. Gov.
Smith aud Gen. Lawton would not
dbagreo about the propriety of the
appointment of Joe Brown, but they .
would differ widely about other points
iu that connection.
THE REAL INDORSERS,
From this house divided against it¬
self, let ns turn to tho people of Geor
gia, who have made aud can unmake
these leaders; let us turn to the seven
hundred and fifty thousand Democratic
constituency represented by the Colquitt
delegates in the convention; let us turn
to the patriotism of Clifford Anderson
in that convention; let us turn to tho
public virtue of our State, which has
united with the Democracy of the North
to put down a back salary grabber.
How any man can put Norwood’s name
on tho ticket for Hancock and English
is the mystery of political ravseeries.
H<xw can the same ballot indorse and
condom the grab, the lobby and dodge i
