It has been customary, so the writer
has been informed, for the ohorus at
the . Chautauqua Assembly, which
gathers in Albany annually, to greet
the appearance of the Governor with
“Dixie,” the air of which is familiar to
every loyal Southern heart. On other
occasions of significance also, the as
sembled multitudes Indulge in this
song of songs, wliioh never grows old
to Southern patriots.
On one occasion, however, (I think
it was tbe Becond assemblage of the
Chautauqua) when the Governor called
for “Dixie,” not a Southern voice re
sponded to the call; but a Northern
Indy, who was a member of the chorus,
sang alone nnd to the well-known air,
“I wish I was in Dixie.” Shv hap
pened to know n great part of the
song, and after repeating It, the chorus
sang it, though it brought n blush to
the cheek of many who knew so little
of the national song whloh should have
been nearest their lienrts.

There is a great discussion going on
just at present in regard to the taxes
imposed upon manufacturers in the

paid three per cent, of the total taxes,
and the consequence is that some ofL.
them are shutting down. This will^l

To tin* Editor of the Albooy Hkrald:
We the Central Democratic club of
tbe county of Decatur, desire to thank
you for tbe faithful stand you have
taken for Democracy in the Second
Congressional district, and congratu
late you on your fidelity and loyalty
to the worthy and nnflinohing Demo
crat, tbe Hon. Ben. E. Russell, and we
beg to assure you that whenever it is
within our power to promote your in
terests, we stand ready to do so, as we
will ever be faithful to all who standi
in the breaoh in this perilous hour to
true Democracy.
Mr. O. B. Stevens,after a caucus with
his clansmen in Thomas county, made
n clandestine and secret movement
through our county. He never showed
up at any public gathering. Upon the
contrary he was found at a cow pen
gap on Spring Creek, and insisted that
the parties to whom he made himself
known should not let Ben. E. Russell
know that he was in the county. He
came for the purpose of meeting the
Executive Committee, and to try and
throttle the voice of the people, and
tried to induoe them to have no pri
mary election, but have tlie delegation
system instead, as Decatur will go
when left to the primaries from five to

THE OLD, OI.D STORY.
Another PlstoMToler To In
Trouble.
, Georgia Davis, a Negro woman liv
ing in East Dougherty, swore out two
warrants against Sam Davis, another
Negro, who, from the nature of the
case, seems to be a dangerous citizen.
It seems that Sam belongs to the
gang known as “pistol toters,” and not
only that, but he is not careful about
keeping it closely concealed. He some
times delights in pointing it threaten-
* n ffly at his neighbors.
The result of Sam’s proolivlties was
that one warrant was sworn out for
him before Magistrate Greer for car
rying concealed weapons, and one for
pointing a pistol at another. Bailiff
Massey, armed with aforesaid war
rants, went out in the country about
twelve miles, and brought Sam in. He
is now safely lo d 8e d in Jail where he
will await trial, unless he Is released
in the meantime on bond.
