a serious difficulty at Georgetown be-
CoL Wm. H. Harrison and two
p.-aw-yf Coi. Tboa. L. Guerry—Le-

graw out of a slight altercation that oc
curred some days ago at ibe Quitman
County Convention, between Cola. Har
rison and Gamy, in which the former
struck tbe Utter. Col. Guerry i two
•o«a took their tether's pert, sod deter
mined to resent tbe blodQpKiad re
ceived. Hearing, probably of their in
tention, Col. Harrison armed himself,
aad on Saturday afternoon the parties
met in Dr. Mercer's store, and soon a
fight ipened, in which Col. H. fired two
ahots at LeGrande Guerry, and when
raahing closer to him to fire a third shot,
Samuel Gaerry aeixed a weight from
the counter and struck Col. Harrison a
heavy and very seven blow on the head
which knocked him down, or partially
wv whan others rushed in and separat
ed the combatants.
Mr. LeGrande Gaerry received only
a slight flesh wound in one of his arms
(rots the second shot fired st him. bat
came near killing himself while attempt
ing to draw his pistol to return the fire
of CoL H. as his pistol hung some way
in bis pocket and was discharged acci

many warm personal friends who great,

In the issue of the Republican of
Saturday the 4in inst., and also Friday
the 10th, a piece over the signature of
“Y,” reflected very harshly on “X,”
the correspondent of the AlbanxNkws.
I herein wish to disclaim all personal
allusions to “X.” I know him to be a
gentleman above reproach with a char
acter as high and unspotted is any in
the State. The article was too severe,
and with “X’s” permission, I will ac
knowledge my error, and, at the same
time apologize for the commission of an
unwarrantable piece of meanness.

From an article in,an exchange on
the aboVa aijbject, we see that the old
system of cutting cemetery grounds,into
small lots surrounded by hedges bids
fair to pass sway entirely. All orer
the country the park landscapes, or
lawn system is gaining favor. It con-
eiftsih a series of plsntstions of shrubs:
am’ trees, so arranged that the effect of
the entire cemetery, from the main
drives, that of an extensive park, evi
dence of existing burial grounds being
shut off by foilsge. In this system the
hedgc-and-fencc finds no-place. Me
morial buildings of all kinds are erect-,
ed in retired woods.
Albany’s lovely city of the dead
needs none of these modern improve
ments to add to its beauty. Those
whd have loved ones sleeping within
its silent limits, are unwilling that the
mania for ‘‘change” that is ever agita
ting modern taste, should disturb the
quietude and disfigure the graceful
rural appearance of the place. Nestl
ing on tbe hillside, embosomed in a for-
rest of mock-orange and evergreens, it
is indeed a lovely little “city of.the.
dead.”

The Hintti Senatorial District Trouble.
Bader Co., Ga., Sept. 13th, 1880.
Messrs. Editors:
Please allow me to notice briefly
communication in your last issue, head
ed, “Another Election in Baker,” and
signed “Democrat.”
: Tho-colored people, in conventioMt-
scinbled, 4th inst., did not “nominate’’
Col. S. P. Davis, they simply endorsed
him as their choice of candidates for
the Senate ; and resolved to give him
their supporLin the event he decided to
oppose Mr. Hawes.
This endorsement was preceded by a
full understanding on tbe part of the
colored people that Col. DaTis was a
good Democrat; and after adjournment
of the meeting the fact was again and
again publicly announced on the streets
of'Newton. Tba disturbing element
in this movement of Baker county col-
ored rotors was.ai. untimely expression
of their confidence in Col. Davis, and
their willingness to trust their rights
and their interests in his hands. “Dem
ocrat” may be too fastidious to receive
even an endorsement by the “negroes’
but wouldn’t he work like tho D—1 to
get their Totes, were ho a candidate V
In the good old times of honest Democ
racy consistency Was a jewel.
Again, opposition to the nominee of
so-called election, 27th ult., by Col.
Davie, or hie.frienda, would not make
him, or them, in any sense, “Disorgan-
ixers.” . " V»
.When there is nq organization there
can be no “disorgariizer’’; and no or
ganization has ring binding force un
less based upou truth and held togeth
er by honor and -gbod faith.
We do not propose to enter into par
ticulars disscriptive of the disgraceful
scenes in the Courthouse and around
the ballot-box ip Newton on the 27th
ult; but if “Democrat” can truthfully
say that the so called election on that
day w'as conducted J'airly, honorably,
honestly, and that its results are bind
ing upou the people of Baker, then, in
the language of the Ep s scopal prayer
hook, wo exclaim flora the* depths of
our heart, “From all such good Lord
deliver us !” Sioma.

our city. When its age, and the size
of the city, arc taken into con.ideration
it is not surpassed by any similar insti

of rooms well adapted for the purpose
and neatly furnished with lamps, chan
deliers and tables, which ai£ the- prop

it’s shelves there are more than two
thousand volumes, embracing works of
history, fiction, biography, science, poe
try, theology; in fseL covering the en
tire range of literature. Daring the
past year a .largo number of choice
hoiks have been added, and the collec
tion odw embraces many of: the best
standard and popular works of the day.
On it’s tables are to be found the lead
ing periodicals of the day; and in shorL
the Library offers to our citizens a vast
fund of instruction, entertainment and
usefulness.
It lias been of great benefit to Alba
ny. It has had a tendency to energize
and elevate the literary tone of the
community, and has largely increased
the taste fur leading; among onr citi
zens. The best evidence of itB popu
larity and usefulness is found in the
large number of books tha* are taken
from it and read each quarter, as
sfcown by the record of the Librarian.
Indeed, the Library has become almost
a necebary' luxury to our people, and
Its .loan wAuld be severely felt by the
community. -gMi present successful
And gratifying condition has been at
tained without any direct appeal to the
liberality of the citizens of Albany.
For s long time U was sustained solely
b* the d^ilp ofjtkqtgianlberihip and by
a few small private contributions. Last
fall a fair was given which netted the
Ligrary a good sum, and which enabled
to get its first addition of new books.
This fair was made up of contributions
almostsolely from abroad, altbohgb our
own peopft.-jfcare the enterprise a gen-
crons patronage. There have been giv
en also,- a few entertainments, from
which the Library has netted small
omonnts. In all these, however,there has
been an eflort on tbe part of the Libra
ry to give value received for the aid ex
tended iL and wc believe that it can be
truly said that it’s efforts have not been
vain. We would not be understood as
failing to appreciate the liberality of the
citizens- of Albany, in always giving
their’ support to any enterprise under
taken for the Librar/7 hut this fact is
merely mentioned to- show that the
people have not "been besieged with ap-
perls for. help. But, although much
has been done for the Library, yet
there is a vast deal more to bn accom
plished. There are hundreds of books
that ought to be purchased; many new
and standard books and periodicals that
are essential to keep the.LiDrary fully
up to the times, and render it the valu
able and-interesting institution we so
much desire it to be. It has been many
months since new hooka were booghL
The public demand, as well DS the orig-
nal purpose of the association tc keep
the Xibrery at all times supplied with
the freshest and best current literature,
and make it a complete and model in
stitution of its kind, call for the addition
of more books. Tho Directory are ex-,
ceedingly anxious at once to purchase
a choice selection, and to place at the
service of the reading public of Albany,
as some, at least, of the many excellent
and entertaining works we hare not
heretofore been able to buy. This, we
feel is an imperative necessity if* we
would retain the good already done,
and secure some of the vast benefits
that will flow in the future from this
moat excellent institution. But the
Library is without the funds necessary
ior this purpose. It’s only source of
income is from the dues and fines from
its membership. These are not more than
sufficient to meet it s current expenses,
which have been reduced to the lowest
limiL We need money, and for some
time the Directors have considered the
methods best calculated to raise the
necessary funds. The respective mer
its of shows, sappers, festivals, etc,
have been duly considered, but after’
mature deliberation, it has been decid
ed that a direct appeal to tbe liberality
of our citizens is the best means of jmp
advertisements. com p]i s hing the desired ends. In doing
this we do notbelive that we have ofar-
shot .the mark in our estimate of the
public spirit and generosity of oar
people. They have never been lag
gards in a work so noble and commend
able. They have always shown a pride
and liberality in giving aid to any
enterprise calculated to advance the.in-
terests of Albany.:- And it ~ia with a'
perfect confidence ia. their generoua
spirit that we hava decided to make this
appeal. It is tho tint -that has been*

lias awakened memories of the past. - -
When in 18(36 I went to Albany and
resurrected the old “Patriot” that 'aaiT
died, and rcchristened it the NEft’s, Al
bany was not what it is now. Then the
country was in tho throe* of reconstruc
tion so-called,, and newspaper life was
very different from the difficulties which
environ it now. Freedinen’s 'lureaus
reigned supreme, and a negro’s notched
stick wa3 preferred to an accountant's
book as testimony before the authori
ties. Ex parte evidence was allowed,
provided it came from one claiming to
he a Republican, and every man’s lib
erty and personal welfare was at the
mercy of the meanest raiscreanL
The “boys in blue,’’ on more occa
sions than one hooted tho office with
b*yoneu,and one of my employes, Mr.
Junes Freeman, suffered fearfully at
their Iiands, because we criticised cer-
tain transactions on the public streeL
Manifold were the difficulties of news
paper publishers then. But in it all,
the Nxws was born and reared to no
mean stature. In my struggle I was
assisted by one whose hand is cold in
death, but in whose breast as noble a
heart beat as In any that live to-day—
John V. Cargill, Esq. And by another,
who I aee is stall connected with tbe
News, Mr. Thomas P. Cody. To their
assistance I owe much of the success 1
attained. Therefore, you can exense the
attachment that 1 still feel for my old
friend the Albany News. I have
watched with eagerness through all the
clanges which thirteen years have
broughL I have rejoiced in its prosper
ity and sympathized with it m every
depression that has come over it.
My connection with it was but one
short ytar. It has fallen into other and
better hands, and I. rejoice at iL
My attachment for tbe people of Albany
has never wavered, and the friends who
stood by me in those days of trial and
toil are not and never can be forgotten.
I rejoice that two old frienda have
met, and linked destinies one with tbe
other—I mean the Albany News and
Henry M. McIntosh. In 1872 I went
to Quitman, Ga, and there I met Mr.
McIntosh and our ‘riendahip began.
The peculiar relations that I sustained
to the cemmuninity and the family of
which he ia an honored member, begat
a stronger friendship that would have
otherwise existed, perhaps^:
These relations were only increased
when shadows fell across the threshold
of his home, and I was admitted into
the most intimate sorrows that cluster
around the departure of a loved one.
Again, when worth and manliness had
won affection and loveliness, I stood in
the midst and pronounced the word
that made tho twain one. All of these
associations nave produced a friendship
that time cannot efface, and this occa
sion has awakened them again to fresh
life. I have watched with no small
amount of solicitude Mr. McIntosh's
editorial career, and have rejoiced in his
triumphs.' While differing with him on
many questions I still admire his bold
and vigorous style and predict for him
a bright future in his chosen field.
Hence I rejoice that two of my old
friends have joined hands, and shall
watch with eagerness their course
through tbe coming years.

WHAT WE NEED.
Albany is a live, progressive city in
most respects, yet in some respects she
ia far behind other cities in Georgia.
She is capable of securing all of her
needs with the proper outlay of public
spirit aud energy.
She needs a city park. V
She needs a city clock. Nearly every
city in the State has one, and why not
Albany ? She is able.
She needs a musical club to cultivate
and encourage her music tatauL
She needs a reading club to encour-
sge taste for a high order of literature
among her young ladies and gentlemen;
and it could easily be established in
connection with her Library.
She needs a debating club to capaci
tate her young men; for .Mag active
citizens, ready and competent r to think
and act for themselves on all questions
of public interest, anff if necessary to
speak for others.
She needs a bank and needs it bad.
Without one she is a cripple.
She is in sad need ofa fire alarm bell.
Should a .fire break out at night the
night watchman would havo to go
around aud wake up the firemen, or
Split his throat yelling to arouse the
oearest neighbors

therefore, do well to insert their cards

There is no reason why Savannah

should avnbcmsotvcs of the columns
of tho Ni^HInd Advertiser. With
that end inHv, Mr. McIntosh will
call on, ourwKuncaa men to-day, aud

a creditable display of Savannah adver
tisements. It pays to advertise in the
leading newspapers of the country: ’
