Vote the Full Ticket.
The primary election to be held
at the several precincts in Hous
ton county on the 7th of Jane will
be equivalent to a regular election.
The nominees-will surely be .elect
ed when the regular elections oc
cur..
in order that the nominees may
be truly the choice of the people,
every voter should cast a full tick
et It may be that in some in
stances it will be difficult to'deter,
mine which of two or more candi
dates should be voted for, but the
choice should be made all the
same, else some one else will be
enabled to choose for you.
In regard to the tickets for leg
islators and county commissioners,
this duty is greater than with ref
erence to the other offices.
There are two candidates, for the
legislature to be nominated, and
two men are clearly entitled to the
vote of every democrat who parfic
ipates in the primary. If aDy voter
should decide that his prime fa
vorite would be benefited by
“single shot” vote, he will .deprive
another candidate of a right that
justly belongs to him.
It is true that “single shots,” or
“plumpers,” count almost doubly
in favor of the candidate receiving
them, but they also deal unfairly
with the other cadidales, depriving
them without just cause of the suf
frage they have the right to ex
pect. So far the campaign has
been fair and open, and we sin
cerely hope tbe ballot itself will
not be used to unfairly assist any
candidate. This applies with equal
force to the candidates for county
commissioner, as five of them are
to be nominated.
We are emphatically opposed to
“single shot” ballots where two or
more men are to be selected, and
we hope every candidate for the
legislature and for county commis
sioner will unequivocally express
himself on the subject.
This article is not inspired by
any knowledge that “single shot’
ballots ars contemplated, but by
the knowledge that the practice
prevailed to a limited extent
1888. Such a practice rarely
suits satisfactorily, as the voter
may injure his next best friend by
depriving him of a vote that would
be given him were a full ticket
polled.
Tlie Candidates at Byron.
REPORTED BY X.
The political speaking last night
(Tuesday,) was most assuredly a
a success. The candidates, and the
people generally, commenced to
come in at about 4 o’clock, and
from then until about 8 o’clock, at
which time the speaking com
menced, the crowd had swollen to
nearly 200 in number. There were
at one time about 15 candidates in
town, but as the time drew near
for speaking, occasionally one
would excuae himself," until only
about 6 in number remained.
The meeting was promptly or
ganized; Maj. E. H. Ezell was call
ed to the chair, and Col. C. 0.
Richardson requested to act as
secretary, after which the speak
ing commenced. The first speak
er on the floor was Rev. J. F. Sikes,
who delivered a short address, but
to the point, and telling upon the
audience. The next speaker was
Mr. W. S. King, who favorably im
pressed the people. The next
speaker was Mr. J. H. Hodges, who
spoke for a quarter of an hour or
longer, explaining to the people the
different points and the principles
upon which he proposed to be gov
erned. His speech was universal
ly endorsed by all. Col. R. N.
Holtzclaw was next called on, and
spoke about one-half an hour. His
speech was eloquently, ably and
pointedly delivered.
The next speaker brought forth
was Judge TV. H. L. Barron, who
spoke for J of an hour, discussing
Joe Brown’s betterments and tbe
disposition of the state load, the
public school system, extravagant
and class legislation; heavy taxa
tion as it now is; the unfairness
and the great imposition now prac
ticed upon the farmers, and the
poorer class of people, which
points were ably and very point
edly discussed, and to whom the
greatest applause of all was ren
dered. The last, bat not least in
size or ability was Col. B. M. Bate
man, who spoke upon general
principles, and held the audience
spell-bound for an hour or longer,
delivering his speech in the high
est flights of eloquence, occasion
ally illustrating by a comical anec
dote, bnt it was acknowledged by
all, as the poet expresses it, that
there was more truth than poetry
in all that the Col. had to say. In
conclusion the Col. recommended
to the people of Houston county
and the state of Georgia for onr
next governor the Hod. Thomas
Hardeinan
It has occurred to us that it
would be a goo.l thing for a conso
lation banquet- to be given the de
feated candidates at Perry soon
after the nomination. We sug
gest that the expenses of this ban
quet be borne by the successful
candidates, and that they have
complete management of the affair.
As soon as the contest is decided,
let the nominees fliold a meeting,
decide when the banquet will be
given,*at what place in Perry,
whether it shalKbe a dinner or a
supper, aud who shall be iuvited
to attend. .
Our idea is that none but the
candidates, successful and defeat
ed, be present, and that the occa
sion be resolved into a regular
candidates’ experience meeting.
This should embrace a statement
from each candidate, how far the
result fell short of, or exceeded,
his expectations, and other inci
dents of the campaign.
The Home Journal would be
pleased to hear from every candi
date now in the field, in time for a
statement to be made iu our next
issue.
Up to this date the campaign, so
far as we know, has been conduct
ed decently aud in order, and no
harsh feelings have been engen
dered. We hope there will be no
change^ aud if the suggestion we
make above is carried out, there
will be no ill feeling between can
didates after the contest is de
cided.
We hope every candidate will
agree to having the proposed ban
quet, and so notify us at once.
Tbe banquet will not be given un
less all promise to attend.
The Primary Vote of 1SSS.
For the benefit of the candidates
especially, and generally all oth
ers who feel interested, we giye
below the total vote cast at each
precinct in the primary election in
1888. That election was held on
the 4th of July—Wednesday.
There were 1,131 voted polled.
There were sixteen precincts
open, and at each of them the
number of votes polled was as fol
lows.
At Perry 180; Fort Valley 259;
Powersville 64; Byron 70; King’s
26; York 68; LaVilla 71; Center
ville 65; Oak Grove 47; Factory

Mr. C. C. David, one oE tbe old
est citizens of Perry, or Houston
county, died at his residence
Perry last Monday night, of heart
failure. He had been in very fee
ble health, for some months, though
not prostrated, and his death was
not -altogether unexpected. The
burial took place yesterday
(Wednesday) morning at 10
o’cIock, at Evergreen cemetery, the
funeral services having been held
at his late residenc, Rev. N. D.
Moorehouse officiating.
Mr.* David was born in Salem,
Mass., in the year 1821, and- was
therefore at the time of his death
69 years of age. He was of French
parentage, and was reared and
trained in France, which led many
to believe that he was a native of
that country.' He came to Houston
county in 1845, and was married to
the wife who survives him, in 1846.
Directly afterwards they moved to
Perry, where they have since le-
sided. His devoted wife, one son
and four daughters are left to
mourn his departure.
He was a consistent member of
the M. E. Church, and died in the
triumph of the Christian faith. The
writer frequently talked with him
concerning the future state, and
alwavs found him just waiting for
the summons. He was a man es
teemed by all who knew him; pos
sessed of the many qualities that
go to make up a good and useful
citizen. He was a kind and affec
tionate husband and father, a true
friend, a loyal citizen aud a, Chris
tian gentleman. His best epitaph
is that he will be grently missed.
But his reward has come, and we
bow to the hand Divine. May that
hand dispurse blessings and com
fort to the bereaved ones.
We are requested to say that all
the candidates for the Senate and
House of Representatives are cor
dially invited to meet the people
at Bonaire next Tuesday after
noon, and at Perry next Thursday
afternoon.
At Bonaire the speaking will
begin at 5 o’clock, and the people
desire to hear from every candi
date. A large crowd of voters will
be there to hear them.
■At Fort Valley a genuine
democratic rally will be the order
of the day next Wednesday. The
leaking will begin at 8 o’clock in
ray’s Hall, and every candidate
for the.Senate and House of Rep
resentatives will be expected to re
spond to the call, and a large
crowd of voters will be in attend
ance.
At Perry there is a strong de
sire to hear the candidates speak,
and the people around about will
attend in large numbers. The
meeting will be opened, if the can
didates respond, at 4 o’clock p. m.,
and the speaking will commence
immediately thereafter. The Mayor
of Perry will preside. All who
can are cordially invited to attend.

pose to make it the most complete

two candidates in the present po

Mr. C. H. Jackson for county snr.

sincerely hope the people of Hous

possible, as Byron has not been

It is true that Mr. Green hired
me to assist him in collecting the
taxes, and has, in his card, asked
his friends to remember me, for
which I am very thankful, not
only to him, but any and all of my
friends and his for tbe past, and
for any help in the election just at

—The attention of our readers is
called to the change in the large
advertisement of W. B. Carhart &
Co., Macon, Ga. These gentlemen
have in store a large and choice
stock of shoes, of all kinds, boots,
slippers, bats, caps, umbrellas,
etc. They are now offering some
speciiil bargains, first-class goods
at the lowest possible prices. Com
petent and courteous salesmen are
always ready to attend the wants

See the advertisement on the
fourth page, and remember W. B.
1 Carhart & Co., 365 Second street,
May 23.—The hearts of nearly
five hundred of the colored people
of Perry and surrounding country
were made glad aud merry with a
pleasant trip to the Electric city
of south-west Georgia. We shall
say, before proceeding further,
that this was the day aDd place
chosen by onr different Sunday
schools for their picnic.
E’re the dawn of the day, the
roads leading from north, south,
east and west to Perry were alive
with those trudging with all their
might, lest their train might steal
off and deprive them of their an
ticipated pleasnre.
We left here at eight o’clock
sharp, aud arrived at Americas at
11:15. The conductors were in
structive, kind and obliging, thus
winning the hearts of all on board
to such an extent, that they kept as
quiet and peaceable as their white
brothers are wont to do when they
do their best. The ladies showed
their gratitude by selecting and
presenting to the conductors a
basket of their choice viands; snch
as would excite the salivary glands
of the most fastidious epicurean.
The moment we reached the de
pot, we could eee the whole corps
of electric cars waiting to take us
to the picnic grounds. And it was
but a short time before we were
winging onr way to our destina
tion by a power unknown to us.
Some of us, who are very religious
thought God’s hand was conveying
us, and, since we had started we
had just as well go on to heavan.
We reached the park safe, ev
erybody enjoyed themselves, and
no one’s pleasure was marred by
cross words nor disorderly con
duct- The mayor of the city came
out in the afternoon and made us
welcome by stopping the workmen
in a portion of the building being
erected for pleasure, that we might
use it for any amnsement necessa
ry for our pleasure.
We must say in conclusion that
we have never had a more pleas
ant and peaceable visit. We have
never been impressed more-favor-
ably by any city and its people.
Not only is the city electrified, but
the current seems no less in its
people. Seeing this we came back
home with new determinations to
build up our homes, improve our
farms and better our condition
generally. By so doing we verily
believe we shall give our white
brothers a key to their race prob
lem. Yery .truly yours,
