General Gordon considers, accord

With these views, the manner of his

A JOINT DISCUSSION.
At the Barber Shop on a Saturday
3lifht.
Americus Recorder.
The barber shop full, as usual, and
there was an air of bustling actiuity as
the tonsorial artists gave a flourish of
tlifeir razors over the strop and drew
tears from the eyes of their customers
as the giittcriug blade was swiftly
drawn over the upturned faces in the
chairs.
^'he waiting customers beguiled the
time in looking over the “nude in art”'
as illustrated iu the Police Gazette, and
in talking politics.
The doctor had just got into the chair
and tlie barber was proceeding to till
his month, eyes, cars and nose with
hither, when tlie cotton dealer spoke
up and "remarked in his cool and quiet
way that he hadu’t much respect for
thermali who resigned his position iu
the trout and gathered up cow peas in
the rear.
“And I,” said the doctor, “haven’t
much respect for the man who resigns
tlie highest office a people can give him
for the purpose of letting a political
renegade take his place.”
“Ha! what’s that?” said the cotton
dealer. “Gen. Gordon had a right to
resign from the .Senate after he had
«aved the whole Southern States from
ruin.”
“Saved nothing!” said tlie doctor.
“He traded oil' Tilden for Hayes and
got nothing but a mess of pottage for
nis bargain. We have had too
much such saviours of the South.”
“He didn’tdo any such thing. He
had accomplished his mission and given
away all of hissalary to the old confed
erate soldiers, and couldn’t stand the
drain any longer.”
. “That’s two thin! our people are not
beggars, and if he couldn’t live on
$6,000 per year, how’s he going to live
on $3,000?”
“Oh, he’s rich now ami doesn’t care
for money. Beside’s he was swindled
out of the Governorship once ami
.we want to right the wrong of ’68.”
“So was Bacon swindled out of it
in ’83, and we want to right that
wrong.”
“Bacon’s a chronic office seeker and
thinks he liasu pre-emption right to the
office; but we’ll show him. He can’t
get it with his court house cliques and
rings.”
“Talk about rings ! Doesn’t Gor
don belong to the Joe Brown Constitu
tion Atlanta ring that’s licen stealing
the State poor for years?”
“Xo, he doesn’t, and besides Bacon
is a railroad attorney and iu favor
of busting tip the Railroad Commit
sion.”
“Xow hear him talk! What’s Gor
don but a railroad man, and all he
wants to be Governor for is to hand the
State road over to old Joe Brown and
his ring,”
“Xo such a thing,sir; no such thing.
If Gordon had wanted to he could have
made $50,000 out of the State road lease.
He was offered a share in it by Ben
Hill, but he was too holiest,'too honest,
sir, aud refused it.”
“Do you you mean to tell me that
Gordon was a honester man than Ben
Hill ? The man that says that is a falsi
fier, sir, and I can ram it down his
throat,” yelled the doctor, as he raised
in his seat aud barely escaped having
his nose cut off by the barber’s razor.
“You can take it as you please, sir,
but Gordon is an angel compared to
Bacon, who hid uuder a commissary’s
wagon during the the war,” shouted
the cotton dealer as he rose to his feet
and grabbed Hie back of the chair upou
which he baabeen sitting.
The doctor did not Wait to hear any
more, but with his face half shaved,
and the blood streaming from a cut
given him by the scared barber, he
jumped from the chair and made oue
bound for tlie cotton dealer. The cot
ton dealer made a pass at him with the
chair and missing his mark smashed
the mirror into a thousand fragments.
They grappled, and in the struggles
they upset the table, kicked over the
barber’s chair, scattered the waiting
customers, frightened the barbers hall
to death, and fell to the floor, a con
fused mass of struggling humanity,
towels lather aud sporting literature.
Their friends had by this time collected
their senses and separated the
combatants and restored comparative
order. ’ •
The doctor stood over in one corner,
spittiusr out great Hakes of lather, his
shirt split down the back, panting from
his unusual exertion.

Verna*
COURT HOUSE COXVEXTIOXS.
Albany. Ga.. May 22,1886.
Editors Seres ami Advertiser:
The liberality alwaj* shown by the
News and Advertiser in opening
its columns for a free and temperate
uUcosslonof topics of general interest
aud concern, howevpr at variance
with the expressed views of the paper,
induces me to trouble you with a few
suggestions on. a matter which at pres-
entoccuples, as it has in the past, the
thoughts of a considerable portion of
the people and press of the State.
And particularly when this matter Is
submitted, to us accompanied with the
emphatic approval and endorsement
of oue of the distinguished candidates
for tlie Chief Executive office, and uoc
expressly and distinctly disapproved of
by the other, it will be readily admitted
that a more fit and auspicious, time for
its calm and dispassionate considera
tion by the Democratic voters of
Dougherty could not well be chosen.
But a word or two drst as to tlie at-
tltude of the two Gubernatorial candi
dates now before the people, oh this
subject—viz: The adoption by tlie
people of the several counties of die
plan of primary elections in selecting
delegates to the convention, in the
place of county conventions. General
Gordon, in his. open letter to Major
Bacon of the 8th Inst., invites the lat
ter to unite with him in requesting (not
dictating to, as Major Bacon prefers to
construe it,) “the Executive Corpmit-
tee to' recommend to the voters of the
several counties” the plan of primary
elections, rather than the holding of
county conventions, in choosing their
delegates, as a better and surer means
of arriving at die real will of the peo
ple.
Major Bacon, in his reply, declining
the invitadon thus extended, after
stating that some ot die coutities had
adopted the plan of holding primaries,
while others continued to choose their
delegates and candidates through the
medium of mass meetings, says: “I
believe the people of the several coun
ties are. fully capable of determiuiug
for themselves which plan is Iiest
adapted to their convenience and the
projier ascertainment of die popular
preference.” And .again: “I believe
that the Democratic voters of the sev
eral counties can determine better
than the Executive Committee, or per
haps better thau you or myself, die
mode best suited to the situation of tlie
Severn! communities.”
The above t\\ o propositions certain
ly sound fair and plausible enough.
Undoubtedly the people of the several
comities have the right to determine
for themselves how their delegates and
representatives shall be chosen. But
when tlie respective merits of the two
plans are under discussion, it may
fairly be asked, whether oft-repeated
experience of these county conven
tions, or so-called mass meetings, has
not time and again resulted in defeat
ing Instead of expressing the popular
preference? Whether through the
agency aud skillful manipulation of
these little county meetings, generally
insign ificaut in point of uumbers and
influence, a representative obnoxious
to the mass of the people at large, has
not frequently been foisted upou them,
and the party lash then applied un
sparingly in his favor? And whether
the lengths to which these court house
caucusses, miscalled county conven
tions, have gone within recent ^eurs
in this .direction, be not what gave
rise to the substitution of primary
elections iu their place, ou all impor
tant Issues, in a number of die most
prominent counties in the State? Aud
further, whether any county that has
adopted the plan of primary elections
has ever gone back to the court house
convention plan, or is likely to do so?
And lastly, leaving out precedents
and their application altogether,
whether a surer aud more satisfactory
method of getting at the popular wil.
and choice could be devised than that
afforded by primary .elecdous?J
As to the argument based on the in
convenience of holding so many elec
tions in a county, called by lawyers
the argument ab-inconvenienti—as this
has but little weight in law, so it can
have little, or no application to the
plan of primary .elections. Whether
it is more convenient fora farmer,
living in a remote section of a county,
to lose an entire day in attending a
court house meeting, instead of riding
a few miles and depositing bis ballot
in his home precinct, is a query that
ueed not be answered.

say: “I have never feared a -full ex
pression of the popular will. I have
‘no fear of it now. I shall be satis-

no proper safeguard is given against

be carried ou with impunity. Grant
ing tbe possibility of all this, wonld it
not occur to tbe frieudsand supporters
of each candidate tio claim, as in State
elections, a light U> equal representa

recommend this course? Aud would
not its adoption go quite as far as in a
regular State election, towards secur
ing a fair ballot and a fair count? Aud
if despite these precautions occasional
irregularities should occur by which
one candidate should manage to secure
& very decided prepoudereuce of the
votes cast, would not this fact of itself
go far to show that he was in reality

and the only end of the election be
thus secured? It is not recollected
however, that any iustances of the
kind, foreshadowed In the above argu

counties that have adopted tlie plan of
primary elections, although several of
them have been the arenas of bitter
and heated personal and political cam

The combatants tlieu shook hands, a
The negro Is far from being such a
class. The blacks iu the South are
unthrifty and shiftless to a degree that
is positively sickening.”
I asked Mr. Lyon about tlie old con
dition of tlie blacks and he said:
Things were very much different,
before the war it cost but a little to
keep a negro. You bought him two
nits of summer aud two suits of win
ter clothes each year. He had to have
two hats one for each season, and two
or three jwirs of shoes. This entire
outfit used to cost on an average $12.25
a year. 1 was a merchant aud l speak
by the card. I have figured it over
many times. A good master would
distribute a quantity of flour at Christ
mas time, teu'barrels to a hundred
blacks. He would buy them a little
pork tlirough the year. Two barrels
of whiskey would last them for the
year. For the rest they would raise
their own vegetables and chickens and
catch their.own ’possums and cost noth
ing for keeping. They were pretty
well eared lor liecause they were prop
erty and it was the master’s interest to
have his property healthy and con
tented.”
“It Is much different now,” contin
ued Mr. Lyon, when I inquired about
present conditions. “There is no one
who would think for a moment of ask
ing the blacks to accept less thau 50
ceuts a day for their labor in the cotton
fields. Figure that at $180 a year for
each man occupied in producing cotton
in the South and you w ill find tiiat the
amount of cotton produced does not
reach in actual value enough to pa; for
the labor. The darkey has ,«o:ne money
now. But he speuds u, ‘.Lord help
him, in'the most foolish and extrava
gant manner and it does not seem pos
sible to educate him to do anything
else. There are few negroes in tbe
South who spend less than $25 a year
for whiskey. You- can understand
from this why the liquor question has
suddenly assumed such importance
with us. He will spend $15 more for
canned goods, such as cherries, apri
cots, and so on. I have seen darkies
who hadn’t a decent suit on their backs
spend $3 and $4 for sardines and can
ned salmon and canned beef. They
never bad anything of that kind before
tbe war and it completely gets away
with them now. The worst of it is that
every dollar pi id to the negro goes
' ' . Wefi,
Governor of Georgii. To show his
utter nnfaiuiliarity with State affairs,
he has invited you, my friends, to his
inauguration next January, two
months after the ii.auguratiou occurs.
[Laughter.] Should vou'go up there
in January, you will fiud the Governor
was inaugurated in November, and in
all probability will find it was
not the man
who lias extended you the iuvitation.
[Laughter and applause.] Years ago,

the Inauguration was io January, but
It was changed about uiue years ago.
He has been firing In Florida and Xew
York, interested in big railroad specu
lations, and so don’t know anything of
such unimportant matters as these little
State aflairs in Georgia. [Laughter.]
Iu Sparta a gentleman propounded
several questions to us that lie wanted

to answer. He did not answer one
about tlie public schools and one about
taxation. 1 don’t know if these were
tiie orieshe was unfamiliar w ith or not,
but
HE Dip NOT ANSWER THEM.
My position on the question of pri
maries has been persist*ntly nusrepie-
sented by Gen. Gordon. He tries to
create the impression that 1 am oppos
ed to primiary elections in the coun
ties; l- emphatically deny It. 1 dis

as devoted, although it may have been
less brilliant. [Great applause.] Any
assertion or insinuation that i left the
rauks for any improper reason, or for
any cause other than my physical un
fitness for service, testified to by the
regiment surgeons, by whoever made,
is utterly false antr
plause.]
With this statement 1 leave the mat
ter to my fellow-citizens.and give the
gentleman notice that be can proceed
with his little flings, for I shall con
tinue throughout the campaign to
freely discuss bis resignation. [Great
applanse.] General Gordon frequent
ly refers to my organs. If he means
by that the papers that are supporting
me in this campaign, I have only to
tell you they are nearly all in the
State doing so. [ Applause. ]
A voice—“You got there, EH,
then.”
1 propose to read something about
his resignation from—I will not say
his organ, since it has affirmed, with
so much earnestness that it is perfect
ly neutral in this race [laughter]—the
Constitution, which has always sup
ported him aud which 1 presume he
will not deny. He tlieu read an inter
view in which Governor Colquitt had
asked General Gordon to wait three
weeks till the session adjourned, bat
that he was obliged to resign In order
to enter at once upon tbe duties of his
new position. Then a telegram was
read trom Grady on the day of the res
ignation, saying Gen. Gordon would
first take a few weeks of needed rest,
when, as a matter of fact, tbe time ol
rest was spent stamping the State.
[Applause.] Gen. Gordon talks aheap
about the right of the people to elect
their officers; did he remember that
when he resigned and left tbe Govern
or to appoint his successor to the high
est place in the gift of the people, and
one which it was peculiarly their right
to elect? [Great applause.]

Death off the Bicheet lffefro in
Georgia.
Henry Todd, tlie wealthiest colored
man in Georgia, died at his home iji
Darien, McIntosh county, week before
last. His funeral was a grand event;
six of the most prominent white citi
zens of Darien were the pall bearers.
They were Messrs. A. C. Wylly, E. P.
Champeney, Louis Collat, Adam
Strain, James Walker and A. E. Dim-
mock.
Todd was seventy-three years of age
and had accumulated a fortune of over
one hundred thousand dollars. Tbe
Darien Gazatte says:
The will of the late Henry Todd, the
well-known and highly esteemed col
ored man of Darien, was opened and
read in the Court of Ordinary on Mon
day morning last. The willJfllls about
fifteen pages of legal-cap paper, and is
certainly a very interesting document.
We publish a synopsis of the contents
of the will: Mr. Todd bequeathed hU
entire estate and revenues to his wife,
Mary Ann Todd, during her natural
fife, at her death the entire estate to be
converted into cash. $500 of this
money will be spent in purchasing %
bell for and in repairing the colored
Baptist church of Darien. A sufficient
amount will also be appropriated for
the erection of a school house in Da
rien lor colored children. The balance
of tbe money will then be divided if
as follows: white Presbyterian cluird .

church, five percent.; colored Baptist
