the fairs held there, for some rcaa

Col. E. M Word, of Decatur, is
prominently mentioned as De-
Kalb's candidate for Senator for
34 diet:
THE CONGRESSIONAL RAO A’.
It is rather early to open the
congressional race in this district
Out the aspirants are laying pipe
and maturing their plans to secure
delegations for the seyeral coun
ties of the district, and in this way
it may be considered that they
have determined to force the cans
vass on the people.
It has been understood for some
time that there would he a spiri
ted fight made on Gaudier this fall
ud ttat if he got the nomii aiion
again it would be by the skin of
his teeth.
The two most prominent aspi
rants for Caudlers place are Judge
Estes, of Hall, and Judge Brown,
of h'heerokee. These two Judges
have been swapping courts
qnently last fall and this spiiog,
as it is supposed to enable them to
enlarge their acquaintance among
the voters. Nothing rathe ra l a
dve ha u appeared from either, but
it is hard for a candidate to hide
hia light under a bushel or s peck
measure, as for that. The people
generally se6 the glimmerwf the
light through some crack.
Recent'y Mr. Asbury, of Jack
son, wrote letters to a number of
the supposed aspirants, asking an
expression of their intentions in
reference to the race for publica
tion
In reply ii will be seen that Col.
Cand/er declines at this time to
discuss his claims through the
press. Judge Brown also con
cludes it is best lo wait a while.
Judge Wei born and Col. Harrol
(hmks Candler is entled to another
term-
Col. Price will not be in the
race. Judge Estes is the only
one of them inteiviewed|wko an
nounces himself squarly a candi
date. He evidently wants it and
thinks he has claims on (he paity
or part of it at least, because Ben
Hill beat him several years age:
The half dozen other gentleman
who are reputed to have set their
eyes on the honor of serving a
term at IPaakington, have not
been interviewed'yet.
We copy below the letters from
the gentlemen who have consented
to talk for the public.
ESTES IN THE RACE.
G'AiNESvn.LE, Ga., March 11.—
John L Asbury, Jefferson, Ga.
My Dear Sir: Yours the 9th met
me on ray arrival at home from
Habersham court.
You say: ‘I have heard it said
that you had decided not to entei
the contest for congress from this
district, What are the facts in
the ca«e?’ You ask me to answer
that my reply may be made public.
For two years past many partial
friends in different counties ih the
district have spoken to me, and
goms have written, saying (bat
they wished me to represent them
jn congress.
I was urged by some to allow
my name to go before the last
convention. To this last sugges
tion, I in every instance unhesita
tingly and unequivocally answer
ed no, saying that it was due to
Colonel Candlei to re-elect him;
that he was entitled to it upon
every just consideration, and es
pecially from precedent in this
disirict.
For some months past I have
again been approached by many
men ar.d have received letters
from others urging me now to en
ter the field.
Some of these, and amongst
them people of your county, urge
that Colonel Candler has held the
position as long as did Jackson,
Hillyer, Stiickland, Ben Hill,
Price or Speer, and that they see
no good reason to make an excep
tion in favor of Colonel Candler>
or, to use their homely phrase in
the matter, they see no reason
why he should “homestead on the
office.’
Others say I took the ram
against Mr. Hill at the solicita
tion of Colofiel Bell, Colonel Can
dler, Major Logan and other lead
mg organized democrats, who in
that convention represented most
of those counties which now com
pose the ninth district, and sacri
ficed my prospects for the good of
the party, and that a debt of grat
tude is due me a* least.
The claims of other distinguish
ed gentlemen in the district have
been presented to me, and reasons
given why I should consent to be
come a candidate, and why I
should be nominated in preferance
to them. Then in addition to all
this I confess that I should be
very much gratified to be elected
to congress.
Wow these beveral considera
tions have induced me to consent
to let my name go before the peo
pie of the seyeral counlies in thei r
primary meetings as a candidate
for the nomination. If I should
be nominated I will represent the
people, and all the people of the
district, to the best of my abilitj
in congress. Il the people shall
nomina'e some other man, I will
most respectfully bow to their will
and cordially support their nomi
nee. I trust 1 have satisfactorily
answered your inquiries, and you
are at liberty to use tnis as you
see fit. I am, with great respect,
your obedient servant,
J. B. Estes.
HAUBRALSON PREFERS CANULER.
Blairlville, Ga., March 15 h,
1886.—John L. Asbury—Dear
Sia: Yours of the Dili iust receiv
ed, in which you ask if try name
will be before thf next congres
sional convention in this‘the ninth
congressional dis.rict,’ as a candi«
date for the nomination.
In answer to which I will fay
that I have made no such calcula
tions. It I thought I was quali
fied for such a position I could not
get my consent to do so at (his
time for several reasons, one of
which is, I believe, that Hon. A.
D. Candler is justly entitled to
one more terra, at least. He has
made us a faithful representative.
He had the nerve to take a race
when he liid over four thousand
votes to overcome, he made the
tace successfully, and redeemed
the district from worse than radi
cal rule, Red in my opinion it will
require one more term to fully
compensate him for the sacrifices
he has made, besides, he has ma le
us a faithful representative and
has sustained himself well, and
has and will continue to reflect
credit on his constituency.
I havg nothing to say in dispar
agement of the honorable gentle
men, whose names have been
spoken of as probable candidates
before the convention They are
men whom l esteem very highly,
but from the above stated reasons
I prefer Candler this time. After
that 1 think he should s i and aside
and make room for some one else.
We have no scarcity of good
material in our district. We have
a goodly number of young men
coming on, and all they need is a
little rubbing up to develop them
into fall fleded congressmeu. I
am too old now lo build up politi
cal fame, and would much rather
see the young mea of the district
put forward and let them be train
ed ready for anv emergency that
may arise in the future. Yours
truly, T- C. Harralson.
WELLBORN WILL NOT ANTAGONIZE CAN
DLER.
Blairsville, Ga., March 15th,
1886.—John L. Asbury, Jefferson,
Ga —My Dear Sir: Your letter
of 9tb instant asking me if my
name will be before the next con
gressional convention, is before
me, and as I take it that voui in
quiry Is made in a spirt of friend
liness towards mo, I reply at once
and say that I am not a candidate
and think it unlikely that 1 will
be. It seems to Oe understood
that Colonel Candler will be a can
didate again. As his record is nr
objectionable to the democracy,
and the circamstances peculiar
under which he restored our lost
prestige in the district, and as be
will be satisfied with another term,
I will not antagonize him. What
my course might be should any
thing occur which would eliminate
him from the race J could only
hereafter determine. I am, troly
yours. C. J. Wf.llborn.
CANDLER HAS NOTHING TO HAV.
House of Representatives U. S.,
Warhitgton, D. C., March 14th,
1886.—John L. Asbury.—My Dear
Sir: lam in receipt of your favor
of the 9th instant.
I thank you for your kindness
in the matter, but I really have
nothing to say now through the
press concevniug the next race for
congiess in the district 1 have the
honor to represent. Very trulv
yours, A. D. Candler,
price not in the race.
Dahloneoa, Ga, March lGtb.—
Jehu L. Asbury; Dear Sir—ln an
swer to your letter of the 9th in
stanl, desiring to know ‘if my
name will be before the next con
vention of the ninth district as a
candidate for congressional lion
ors.’ I will Bay that there will be
no delegate in that body author
ized to present my name. 1 shall
not be in the hands of my frienus
Since there are quite a number
of excellent gentlemen iu the.dis
trict able and fully qualified to rep
resent us, and who have expressed
a willingness, as well as strong <fe*
sire, to serve the people, I see no
reason whatever why my name
should be presented. Your obe
dient servant, \V. P. Price
JEFF DAVIS IS COMING.
The chairman of the Ben Hi!i
monument committee recently
wrote to Jeff Davis, inviting him
to be presen at ti e unveiling of
the monument, received the fol
lowing reply;
Beauvoir, Miss., 25, March, ’BG
—R. D. Spalding, Esqr.—Dear
Sir; I have received your letter
of the x9th inst., and gratefully
acknowledge the kind terms in
which you invite me to attend a*
the unveiling of the statue of the
late Senator Hill. You are quite
right in attributing to me boih
love and admiration for Georgia’s
great son, who, lising with pres
sure, shone brightest when weak
er na'ures were overwhelmed with
despair, if it be practicable, i
will be present at the unveiling of
the statue. More than this 1 can
not say.
Please present my thanks to
your associates on the monument
committee, and believe me respect
fully and faithfully yours.
•Jefferson Davis.
The Macon Telegraph says; “It
would not do to say that all Col
quitt men in Georgia are rascals,
but it is a dead sure thing that ev
ery rascal in the State, in and ont
of office, white or black, is for
Colquitt.”
Such broad, sweeping charges
ill becomes a newspaper that pro
fesses to be a Democratic organ
It manifests a S[ itetulness that
cripples, as it ought to use its in
fluence fcr good Wo like iode
pendence, bnt such sweeping
charges as this, exhibits o narrow,
contracted and vindictive spirit
that leads the public to believe
that the writer is controlled by
personal ai lmosity, rather than by
a just and fair criticism of a pub
lic official.
Co'quitt’s course in the Senate,
in giving office to his personal fol
ic wing and kindred, only, is in
defensible, bn/ it does not follow
that men who have heretofore
followed his slandaod are rascals.
If it do<>s the Democratic party of
Georgia is a hard crowd—except
Lamar.
Tuere is a greaf deal of talk
about Cleveland’s back-bone.
What is presidental back bone
worth, that hasn’t got the nerve to
fire out the fifty thousand radical
office holders, who are only spies
in the camp. The truth is the
President has le( the golden opor
porlunity slip. The recent reso
lutions adopted by the senate have
pledged that body to refuse to cor
firm the appointments of the Pres
ident uniess be consents to furn
ish the papers on file in the »evs
eral defaatment-, in reference to
the removals. And this be cannot
do without sacrificing his self re
spect and the respect of the coun
try.
In the debate, tho republicans
manfully admitted the right and
duty of the President to remove
from office every man who was not
in sympathy with the administra
tion. Still the administration
halts and daisies over trking a bold
equate Democratic stand upon
this subject. There is too much
mug-wumpism in the present ad.
ministration lor success in the
future. There is something more
demanded than that the Presi
dent should have back-bone.
Extensive preparations is being

RESTORED TO REASON.
Di. George W. King, superint
tendent of the Hudson County lu
natic asylum, at Snake Hill, N. Y.,
has reported to the Freeholders a
cure he had effected in the cases
of two patients, Patrick Ryan and
John Murphy, for many moths the
very worst lunatics in the asylum.
They were so violent tl at it was
found necessary to confine them
separately in padded cells. No
keeper could approach them with
safety, and it was impossible to
prevent tliem from destroying
iheir clothing, bedding, and fur
niture of the cells After every
o/ner method of treatment had
failed, Dr. King made an experi
ment. He put both in one cell.
The keeper feared they would tear
each ether to pieces. Each of the
patients, uowever, conceived the
idea that he had been placed in
| the cell for the purpose of takiug
caie of the other. They sat from
morning until night at opposite
sidas ot their small apartment, and
gazed compassionately at each
other- When the doctor called on
them after a week’s confiinemtni
he found them as quiet as if they
were perfectly sane. Each, possir
bly, hud Lightened the other into
good behavior
‘Well, John,’ said the doctor,
addressing Murphy, ‘how is Rys
an?’
‘Oli, the poor creature is gets
ting better, sir,’ was the cool re
ply. ‘lf you leave him here with
me a little langer. I’ll have him
cured entirely.’
‘And liow do you find Murphy?’
the physic an asked Ryan. ‘Well
to tell the truth, sir,’ was the an
swer. ‘l'm afraid he will never be
quite right in bis head, but he's
not as bad as he was.’
After the men had been tbps
confined for two months, the doc
tor reported, they were entirely
restored to reason, and wore dis
charged.
WHY THEY QUARRELED.
Two young ladies were over
heard talking glibly and confiden
tially i lie odicr day:
‘Now, ’ said one, ‘lell me
why Charley and you quarrel
ed.’
‘Because he’s a ninny, that’s
the jeaeon, Yon know he’s been
corniug to seo me for the last three
years, and I could see just as plain
as anybody that he was heels over
head in love with me. But h«
didn’t seem to have any snap to
him, and I got real impatient, just
as any girl would have done. A
few nights ago he called to see
me, and before he went away I
said:
‘Charley, l want to make you a
Christmas present, but I want to
be sure it will suit you.’ It ia
something real nice, warm, useful
and ornamental, and will always
stay with you.’ ‘A scarf?, he said.
‘No,’ not a scarf.’ I said, ‘though
it might embrace you. It weighs
about 120 pounds and I’ve heari
you say you though! it very pre
vious.’ *Oh, I know,’ he said, a bi
cycle!’ By this time I was nearly
mad, but I made one more effort.
‘Not a bicycle, ’I said, ‘but it can
walk, has a mouth, eyes, pretty
hair, and is very affectionate.*
‘Now I know,’ he said, and what,
do yoa think the ninny guessed
that time? A big Newfoundland
dog. I was never 8o disgusted in
my life, anjl have-not seen Charley
since. He’s treated me real mean,
and I just hate him. Ob, there he
is now. Ain’t he sweet* 1 wish
he would come aud talk to us.’—

SPECIAL ANNO UC EM ENT
I
It is commonly reported that the Georgia School f language,
is very much the largest patronized school, and its it tractors the most nr,.,,
ive teachers in this section. The facts fully snbstan ite this assertion. ’
Ihe growth of the school and the changes indion ed by, and uecesaarv tn
preseut flounshing condition have not come sudden,) or by accident The*
res. lied rather from persistent adherence to certain ’principles, the iwreetL
which set-m now to be reasonably well established.
FIRST
among these was the sparing of no t xpensr that would add to our eduona.
a facilities. We ars no believers in the old time method still in u*
old fogies, of leachiug only by rote, and making puppets and parrots out of tbsii
pupils and dupes out of their patrons, "
SECONDLY,
We have always strenously opposed the promiscuous herding together of bon
end girls. Ours is the only school in the county that has separate male and k
Irate departments. Some schools claim that it relines the boys to have them u.
ociate with the girls. l)o you wish to sacratice your lovely daughter to hal D
efine some xidy’f uncouth boy? WKTHiNB NOT I and therefore aitJ
o send her to our school. '
FINALLY
the School maintains a superior patronagw and can afford to offer Bgr
