AMERICA STILL FURTHER AHEAD I
ATLANTA INTERNATIONAL COTTON EXPOS!-
WIIXIMANTTO SPOOL COTTON pronounced the best
1 THREAD FOR SEWING MACHINES—TWO GOLD Mtn 4 |a
f r AND THE ORAND PRIZE.
Tha thread exhibits made by three, of .the
manufacturers of spool d6tton werd-a ‘
feature of this great International Cotton Exposition *t
Atlanta. The Willimautic Thread - Company, a dis
tinctively American institution, displayed What w
generally admitted to bo lbe iuo«t*«ompletS exhll
ever made of any industry at any World's Fair. A
whole system of machinery iu operation was shown
lu this company’s space, and taking tbo raw cotton
from the bale, it was turned out as finished thread
ready for market, passing through all the mauy
requisite and delicate processes in plain view of visi
tors. even the spools upon which tho thread was
wound, and the boxes in which it was packed being
made on the spot.
The Willimantio Company, in making so largo an
exlm.it at tho tirstgreat Southern fair, showed a proper
appreciation of Southern Intelligence, and the judges
in bestowing upon this company all tho honors
awarded for spool cotton at tho Exposition, only echoed
the public sentiment formed at the South after seeing
how Willimantio Thread is wado. Governor Colquitt,
of Georgia, responding to a toast at a reception iu
Atlanta, u!m> added his indorsement by saying:
“ Haviug worn and found good a suit of clothes
made from cotton picked in the morning from the
field and before night woven, cut, made and pres-
sented to him by the Willimantio Company, he stood
in a position to eudoroo the Willimautic Thread, and
recommended it to every family in Georgia and tho
South.”
The completeness of this latest victory achieved by
tho Willimautic Company can be better understood
by reading the following extracts from the official re
ports of the judges of award :
GOLD MEDAL NO. 1.
“ For the Best Six-Cord, Soft Finish, Spool Cotton for
Machine and Hand Sewing. Tho olemente of merit
and superiority recognized are groat strength and
elacticity, rendering this thread peculiarly adapted to
sewing machine use. Tho colors shown are remark-
ubio for their beauty and variety. Gold modal_rocom-

The Atlanta Constitution says:
“We are glad to be able to state that

Dr. Felton is out in another letter.

The ex-Govetnor has no doubt been
taken as much by surprise by this let

Editor News and Advertiser:
Having read much of the “Coali
tion Party,” and investigated itspo’-
icy-as developed by its leaders and
expounded by those of its followers
who claim to speak ex cathedra, it
occurs to me that the time has come
when its wickedness should be ex
posed and held up to the just indig
nation of all patriots. "Of course I
do not expect to exhibit this great
fraud in all its deformity to the peo
ple, but simply to commence the
uncovering and leave the comple
tion of it to abler hands. I call it
“Coalition Party,’’ becansc any oth
er name would be a misnomer. The
regular Democrats,’as well as all
Independent Democrats, must, by
virtue of Democratic principles,
totally repudiate it. I say “policy”
because it is not based upon party
principle, blit is a mongrel congre
gation of disgruntled would-be
prominent politicians, who hereto
fore professing political creeds total
ly different from each other, now
bring their complaints anil disap
pointed ambitions into hotchpot and
call (them a “formulation of prin
ciples.” They have perverted the
maxiin that “honesty is the best pol
icy,” and have it “policy is the best
honesty.” In this perversion of
great principle they are excelled
only by lngersoll, when lie trans-
posed “an honest matt is Hie noblest
work of God,” into “an honest God
is the noblest work of roan.”
All political parties are founded
upon some theory of government,
some principle of governmental pol
icy touching finance, manufactures
or trade, or a construction of some
elementary principle in the constilu
tion of a government. Local issues
arc subordinate. Leaders and fol
lowers, if patriots and have the good
of, the country at heart, sincerely
believe in the theory of government,
governmental policy or the eon
slruction of the elementary princi
ple as advocated by their party.
Thus arrayed against each other
stand the Democratic and Republi
can parties to-day, maintaining the
ories and constructions of clemcula-
ry principles differing in the main
widely. In each of these parties are
ambitious men who struggle to gel
to the front aud become leaders and
office holders. “Many arc called,
but few are chosen,” hence the “Co
alition Guerrilla Party.” If the
Democratic party could furnish of
fices to all these “Coalitionists” that
now seek to betray and tight it, they
would swear that it is the greatest,
best, noblest and only patriotic party
that had ever shed its benign influ
ence on the American republic.
What a wonderful influence does the
hope of official pap exercise over
the minds and elastic consciences of
the weak-kneed in both parties!
How is it possible for a sincere
Democrat or Republican, be he a
regular or independent, to sudden
ly drop his principles like a hot
brick and rush into the “Coalition”
camp and stare kround wildly in
search ef sopic creed ? The Repub
lican could say that he went into the
camp to decoy the Democrat away
from his party, that it might be
weakened and destroyed and that
the Republican party might regain
its hold on Georgia. What could
the Democrat, regular or indepen
dent, say? It is said when a man
goes to Texas he is asked what he
has done, and that the interrogated,
if he desires, can answer truthfully
what he has done and what he is
without fear of molestation. It is
not so in the “coalition.” If he an
swers that he is a member of either
of the parties founded upon any of
the party principles, he is made “to
feel that it is not good that he came
out to-night.” If he answers that he
is a little off and somewhat slack
concerning principles, that he is any
thing and believes in anything that
will give the organizers of this “co
alition movement” office, he will be
told to come in-and fall down on the
bosom of Abraham, be refreshed,
go to the polls, vole, vole often and
repeat in the name of the Lord, but
don’t use profane tissue ballots or
stuff the ballot box, while anybody
is looking. “For this canse, pay yon
tribute also, for they are God’s min
isters attending continually upon
this very thing.”—Homans, XI1I-6.
The real leaders of the “coalition
movement” are the Republican cam
paign manipulators in Washington
backed up by the .administration.
The Republicans will control it and
receive all the offices except a few
that will ho given, to the leading ren
egades from the Democratic party
as a bribe. The few that receive
these offices will be compelled to
act as did Mahone, affiliate and vote
with the Republicans, not the Re
publicans vote and affiliate with
them. The sale will be complete.
The idea in Georgia is to change the
name of the Republican party and
call it the coalition party, conceal all
the principles it ever had and with
the help of such men as Felton se
duce the weak-kneed from the Dem
ocratic party and again pat the con
trol of the Slate into the hands of
the very class and men that in the
past so wronged and plundered the
people of Georgia. The young Dem
ocrats of Georgia will stand but Ihe
closer lo their parly, which they now
control, and learn these political
demagogues that their convictions
of right are strong and well-
f rnnded and that their hold on their
pditical principles cannol|be broken
by the bribing cry “Come unto me
and I will give you office.” They
are made of better, more honest stuff.
Surely an Independent Democrat
cannot join the “coalitionists.” 'An
Independent stands upon tbe high
ground that as an American citizen
he has the rigli*. to run for an office
to gratify his own personal ambition
without submitting his claims to any
convention, if he feels disposed to
inflict liimseif upon the notice of his
fellow-citizens, but a coalitionist
must submit his pretensions to an
advisory caucus or secret conven
tion, composed of birds of all sorts
of featiiers, before he can, as a co
alitionist, obtain the support of his
crew and the powers at Washington.
There are-not offices sufficient for
all the coalition recruits and they
all coalesce to get office, they iniist
have a convention, call it advisory
caucus or wliat you will, and a reg
ular party machinery. Certainly
Democrats that affect tt> be indepen
dent of conventions and caucuses
will not desert their principles and
swear allegiance to this party,
whose ruling spirits form a political'
ring to manage its affairs to furlher
llieir own ends and purposes.
After Chester A. Arthur was by
Guiteau mado President of the Unit
ed States, he endeavored to elimi
nate the race and sectional issues
from politics. The Democratic par
ty had long since endeavored to do
so. These two issues have been the
curse of the Republic since the late
unpleasantness. The scum of the
Northern politicians, the “carpel-
baggers” and scalawags of tho South
kept them in life and worked, them
for all they were worth, kept warm
the passions of the war and put
hatred in the heart of lli6 negro
against the white man, that upon
this unholy condition of things they
could ride into office. When these
sectional and race issues had been
almost entirely obliterated and de
stroyed by .the good men of the two
regular parties, Mr. Felton, the “co
alitionist formulator,” in his despair
seeks to dig them fl’om the grave
where decent men buried them and
offer them again to Ihe nostrils of a
disgusted people. With these stink
ing excresenccs of both parties in his
hands, with eyes turned to that God
whose priestly living always sets
awkward on a proscssional politi
cian, he invites the people of Geor
gia to follow him. The Prophet of
Khorasan at last dropped his veil.
The Christian religion is being tried
as it never was before, and many
preachers are striking it heavy
blows. Mr. Felton would tell ns of
the hnmble and lowly Jesns, and
what a “young man should do to be
saved.” Yet we have seen him self-
called, flaunting his worldly ambi
tion in the face of the people and
making a hot political campaign to
gratify a personal longing for office
and notoriety. His ambition must*
be personal and for self-glorification,
unless he is so enormously vain and
conceited as to believe himself the
only man in his district capable of
representing it. Preacheis who are
ambitions for worldly honors and
political advancement and preachers
who serve God only where the
largest salary calls them, make more
infidels than all the Paynes and In-
gersolls that an extremely merciful
■God has permitted to strut the earth.
Gentlemen of the cloth, preach to
the pulpit first, make it smack a little
more of the New Testament, or the
next generation will laugh in yonr
face and tell yon that your holy call
ing is a fraud and simply a means
either to gratify lust after power and
notoriety or to eke out a lazy exist
ence.
Felton’s appeal in his Augusta
speech to the prejudices of the igno-
rantand thriftless, and his effort lo
arouse the animosities or one class
against another, excelled the bitter
ness of Whitely in his palmiest days.
It is almost incendiary and is espe
cially dangerous to districts com
posed of snch material as ours. Is
this new party to go back and live

existed directly after the war. This

Editor News and Advertiser:
The recent speech of Dr. Felton,
in Augusta, appears to trouble the
Atlanta Constitution and sev
eral other of our State journals
sorely. To say the lruth.it is a
difficult document to tackle success
fully from a Democratic standpoint.
The leading idea the Constitution
labors to convey in one or two of its
editorial reviews of the speech, pub'
lished jnst after its delivery, seems
to hc,Jirst, that Dr. Felton annouii
ces nothing hut what is recognized
as sounil Democratic doctrine—such
as has already been advocated by
the Constitution Hec\(, and as to a
portion of which, that paper claims
Lo be ahead of Dr. Felton in point
of lime, and-earnestness of convic
tion ; and, secondly, this being the
case, Dr. Felton and his followers
have no sort of excuse or issue on
which to attempt the disruption of
the party. In other words, to be
come disorganizers, by antagoniz
ing* that tormidable element to
which its opponents have given the
name of Bourbon Democracy.
The writer admits in oue of his
articles that Dr. Felton’s speech “is
not an attack upon the Democratic
party, but a criticism of its meth
ods,” viz: the means employed and
adopted by the organized Democra
cy in Georgia to insure success, and
maintain Us hold on power. Now,
it occurs to us that the “methods”
and practices of a great aud .domi
nant party may present issues even
more essentia! and vital than any of
its avowed principles, and if a criti
cism of the organized Democracy in
Georgia, were litnilc.d merely to its
platforms and professions, tiie man
bold enough to attack it would de
serve a worse name lliau that of a
disorganizes If these “methods” be
above criticism they should be above
suspicion, and if a fair and candid
criticism of them should tend to the
d isruption or destruction of the par
ty that tolerated and employed them,
then wc say the sooner the crucial
test be applied, the better.
But the Constitution holds the po
sition that if abuses bayc crept in the
party, if its “methods” differ widely
from its professions, it is the duty of
Dr. Felton and every other reformer,
to effect the necessary reforms in
side the party, and without the use
of means that tend to bring about
its destruction. This suggestion goes
upon the assumption that the so-
called organized Democracy iu Geor
gia as at present constituted, and
under its present avowed leaders, is
still the Simon pure Democracy of
the State, and as such, entitled to
the allegiance first and last, of all
its true and liberty loving citizens.
Now, if we understand him rightly,
this is an assumption that Dr. Fel
ton most strenuously and earnestly
combats. In the outset of his Au
gusta speech, he proclaims himself
a Democrat of the school of Jeffer
son and Jackson, and nowhere in his
utterances, by the admission of the
“Constitutionwriter himself, does
he belie the assertion. His mission,
or effort, is to restore the original
principles and practices of the par
ty, to bring it back to a recognition
and adoption of the principles and
methods of its founders, and, if in
the attempt,'he finds .himself oppos
ed by the organized machine that
has usurped its time honored name
in Georgia, its disruption is a mat
ter of small concern to him. To
quote his own language: “If blind
and passionate adherence to the
methods and sentiments of a politi
cal organization has signally failed
in bringing relief, then it behooves
Georgians to inquire for and prac
tice better methods, and more states
manlike principles.”
As to the chimera of reform in
side the organization that proclaims
itself the true Democratic party in
Georgia, it sounds a little strange
that a journal, which, for several
years, has had nothing but sneers
and taunts at the failure that attend
ed the efforts of certain honest and
well-intentioned Republicans in Con
gress, to effect a .reform of admitted
abases in the civil service, inside
their party, should seriously pro
pose this method as a remedy for
existing evils and abuses in Georgia.
To reform abases and practices in an
organization which depends on these
abases and practices for its exis
tence, and which constitute its only
Bond of union,is visionary and idle.
Success in the effort implies its de
struction. Besides) how can this
reform be effected inside the organi
zation, when every initial step to it
is the inevitable signal'for instant
exclusion and ortracism.
The intolerance of organized De
mocracy (so-called) in Georgia has
never shown a disposition to tol
erate a man bold enough to arraign
its practices, or condemn its party-
methods. Of this Dr. Felton’s own
ease is a notable instance. 'What
public man in Georgia, or the
So nth. has been more abused and
denounced merely for proclaiming
his independence of packed conven
tions and caucus, rule? And yet,
who has been able to impngn suc
cessfully his Democracy or his
motives on all vital issues
affecting party or principle?
Tbe truth is, the present howl
against Dr. Felton and tho “Coali-
tiou,” so-called by the organized
journals, is merely a repetition, with
variations, of that raised against him
when he first announced his inten
tion to “stand for election” es an
Independent candidate in his dis
trict, and which has been so far suc
cessful as to occasion his defeat by a
small majority a( the last election.
As a prominent illustration cf his
■Leaning in this connection, Dr.
Felton devotes a portion of his Au
gusta speech lo a review of the pro
ceedings of the last Gubernatorial
convention, which terminated in
open defiance of all its adopted
valvos and usages in the Indepen
dent candidacy of Alfred H. Colquitt
for Governor. We regret exceed
ingly that the entire quotation would
be too great a draft on your space,
containing, as it docs, an admirable
expose of the “methods” that pre
vailed in this convention. His con
clusion, however, is brief and point
ed enough to bear transcribing:
“These packed conventions for
years have brought discredit, and too
often disgrace, upoh the fair name

Known People Wholly Verified.
of Georgia. They have made organ
ized Democracy a synonym of trick
ery and fraud—a system cunningly
devised to exclude the people from
pnblic affairs—to concentrate the po
litical power in the hands of a few
expert and professional politicians."
But the Constitution complains
that Dr. Felton’s harsh criticism is
made in face of the fact that the at
titude of the majority in that con
vention was confirmed and endorsed
by an overwhelming majority of the
people. Of course. That .majority
and the political managers and
schemers behind it, had no idea of
leaving off their work with the ad
journment of the convention. What
that work was, and the “methods”
employed to farther it, are doubtless
familiar to mauy others in the State
besides Dr. Felton. May genera
tions pass over her before Georgia
witnesses another snch a canvass for
tbe highest office in the gift of her
people.
It shonld not be forgotten that the
material composing this convention
entered largely into the composition
of the next “organized” legislature
that met—a body that resurrected
Jos. E. Brown and made him once
again a possibility and a power in
Georgia politics.

Get Married, Toons Man.
A young man rarely saves much
money nntil he marries. Tbe false
notions of life and the desire for
style in dress, and efforts to move iu
“tony society,” which seem to have
snch power over young people, are
grievous evils of oar period. Look
in any city and any community for
the leading men of business, of the
professions, or of the art, says the
Chicago Inter-Ocean, and find where
they are from. Did they have
$30,000 in cash and an income of
$1,500 or more ?” It is safe to say
that nine-tenths of them were mar
ried in comparative poverty, and
had only the broad, firm founda
tion of their own brains and ener
gies for future prosperity laid to
start upon. When a man has his
profession or business of art weU in
mind and hand, if he is sober and
reasonably discreet, he has every
reason to believe in future success
and has a right to ask some gooi
girl to share his fortune and help
him earn the prize of the future.
The thousand of good girls in every
community are ready and capable
of jnst such aid. The general pros
perity of the entire country makes
the opening year, 1882, a good
period to begin life. To “marry lor
love and work for riches” is a good
maxim for young people to bear in
mind.
Chargf ne tbe Jury.
In a country place in North Car
olina sometime after the war, they
electedas justice of the peace an old
white haired negro, ignorant, bat
honest, and well liked. His first
case was a jury trial. After the
pleading was over, the counsel in
formed his Honor that he could
charge the jury.
“H’m. Charge de jury ?”
. “Yes, your honor.”
“Wal, gemme ob de jury, it

A Washington paper offered $5

effusion that captured the prize:

and is called the “64—65” pnzzle.
Will some of our young friends
work it out and report?
Take a strip of paper or card
board 13- inches long and 5 inches
wide; thus giving a surface of 65
inches. Now, cat the strip diagon
ally as true as yon can, giving two
pieces in the shape of a triagle. Now,
measure exactly 5 inches from the
larger end of each strip and pnt
them into the shape of an exact
square, which will be just S inches
each way, or 64 square inches—a
loss of I square inch of superficial
measurement.
In order that the public may fully realize the
genuineness of the statements, as well as the
power and value of the article which they speak,
we publish herewith the/oe simile signatures of
parties whose sincerity is beyond question. The
truth of these testimonials is absolute, nor e*n
the facts they announce be ignored.

Gkntlkmen—For tweuty years I have suffered
more or less from my bladder and kidneys. My
business for many years had required me to travel
all over the Southern States. Whilst going to
Texas last fall, I saw in a paper an advertisement
ot Warner’s Safe Kidney and Liver care. I
bought a bottle, and in. less than a week the im
provement in my health was palpable. Since,
then my general health has improved wonder
fully, and I now enjoy a degree of health and
strength, In ;every particular, snch as I had not
hoped it possible to eojoy agaiu in this world—of
which I am satisfied, under God's blessing, lias
been due to your remedy.

Gentlemen—For e^hteen months I suffered
intensely with a disease of the kioneya aud a tor*
pid liver, and after trying every remedy that I
could hear of, besides being under the treatment
of some of our ablest physicians, X had about
given up my case as hopelessly incurable, wheu 1
was prevailed upon by my wife to try your Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure. I confess that I had but
little faith in its efficacy; but to my great joy and
satisfaction, after I had commenced on the second
bottle, I cont inued tbe use of the medicine until 1
became completely cured.

BUST PflOOF SEED OATS,
I OFFER for sale ten thousand bushels of
Genuine Texas Red Rust Proof Oats se
lected by a party on the spot with a view to
getting nothing hut the genuine article. They
are the same quality that I sold so many of
last season, which gave such general satisfac
tion; in fact I have not heard of a single in
stance in which they failed gi\e perfect satisfac
tion. If reports from the corn crops out West
are to be credited, the price of corn willr : le
much higher next season than it did th&past,
lienee the necessity of sowing more Oats and
earlier than last season, in order to secure a
stand before the freezes come on them. I am
prepared to fill orders for early sowing. The
demand for Seed Oats will be unprecedented
ly heavy this season, and I have advices from
Texas of a marked advance in the price of
them, and I think it advisable for those in
need of Seed Oats to secure them at once.
I will exchange Oats for Cotton Seed, or
will buy all the Cotton Seed I can get, at the
highest market price, for the money.
