SOLID SOUTH.
JOHN R MADDOX, K»iiter.
SATURDAY APRIL 17, 1880
It is sard that Mr. Uleveland, af¬
ter roa»3ingSenator Ingalls’ speech, |
CEclninled: “1 am almost pefsiiaded
to become lirooklyn an offensive partisan!,”
and the Eagle rises up to
f-lif.nt: Three or four ifiillipnsof Old
Hickory democrats would cheerful¬
ly help him to keep that persuasion
warm.”

“The dude never fails to attend
•church Sunday nights, and plant
himself unanimously in the vestibule
and around the front doors. lie is
extremely fond of being seen and
heard.”
The Star lias opened the congress¬
ional campaign in Douglas county by
declaring for Judge Stewart. Doug¬
las, some two years, ago, was almost
a unit for Capl. Jackson. It is tin
derstood, however, that Col. Hain
mornl has, within the lust two years,
made some material gains in that
county'. At this stage of tho cam¬
paign it is difficult to determine
whether Stewart or Hammond will
Becuve the delegation.
At tliis stage of the gubernatorial
campaign itseums that Gen. John B.
Gordon and Major A.'O. Bacon have
tho lead on their competitors, lie
tween Bacon and Gordon the state
press is about equally divided. It
the race narrows down to only these
•two gentlemen, controlling as they
do an immense following, it would
: be difficult., at this time to forecast
the result with certainty. However,
the friends of either candidate will
claim the state, but the result will
still be left in doubt. They are both
strong inen, and either will make a
practical and safe governor.
The season has opened up finely*
Gentle spring with her ruby lips,
crimson cheeks arid lovely ey es is
just upon us. She is a fine old gal
anyway, She blushes and smiles
with ns much earnestness and
promptitude as she did on Moses
in the bull rushes. On every side
the delicate touch of her maiden
fairness inspires all vegetation lo re¬
newed vigor, <vnd the little plants
leap up in joyful gladness to catch
one mellow ray from her brilliant
countenance, She's a noble old
gal. Along with her coming the
hens cackle more earnestly, fyet, piynics
arq more frequent,—in spyclls eleau every
thing looks better anti :
or.
Col. Hammond and Judge Stewart
are the only aotiye congressional
candidates before the people of this,
the 5th, district. As would be nat¬
ural to expect the ’friends of cither
aspirant are zealously hopeful for
the election of his man. Some hold
that ,Col. Hammond will mogt cor
. returned
tainly be to congress,
though he may possibly from fail ibis to se¬
cure the delegation supported conn-’ by
tyx This opinion is
the fact that while Col. Hammond
may have lost some few- votes here,
he made large and substantial gains
in other counties. On tho other
hand Judge Stewart’s friends claim
that be will sweep the heretofore
doubtful counties and go into the
convention loaded to the muzzle, ns
the expression commonly goes. Gov.’ In
this connection it isclaimed by
McDaniel’s friends, who are many
in this county as well as in the dis¬
trict and state, that this is his oppor
tunity. Should lie submit the use of
his name before the people election his many
friends feel assured of his to
congress, Two candidates in the
race rather strengthens instead of
weakens the governor’s chances for
congressional honors. Of course it
is next to impossible finally just now shape to
tell bow the race will
itself. But for congress which do
you prefer, McDaniel, Hammond or
Stewart?
Newton county is now in the ag
onies of a prohibition campaign. rattle
On the 22d instant she will
down the ballots. Both sides claim
-the county. The very large negro
vote in the county controls the elec
tions to a great extent. Hence the
prohibitionist have to be in a deed
ded majority in order to counteract
the “floating vote,” ns the negro is
commonly called. But, wo sec no
good reason why Newton should not
be voted dry. It is understood
abroad that most all her good and
progressive people arc in favor of
prohibition. This being the case,
as it certainly is in every county in
Georgia, why will the people, tho

An awfully homely man at a so¬

Senator Joseph E.*Bjwn sonde

defense of the president* while the,
senate and administration were
clamoring. Like everything from
him it has logic, power and point.

,T, M. Cox, of Milch oil county, is
in Macon for the purpose of presertt

with the burning of all ginhouses,
from matches left by accident or oth

Speaking of education in the
schools and colleges of the south
the Richmond Dispatch very con
siderately says: “We admit that in
the matter of equipment for educa¬
ting specialist some of our higher
institutions of learning are deficient
—deficient owing to lack of endow¬
ment—but in the domain of'liberal
education’ they have been kept
abreast with the times in respect
both of standard and thoroughness
of work.”
According to the News, Monroe,
Walton county, i*afflicted with a
“blind tiger” establishment. Some
mouths ago Monroe in a city elec¬
tion went dry, or rather adopted
prohibition. One or two or may be
a gang of violators have organized
and are selling liquor, as the News
claims without legal right. This
open and willfull violation of the
expressed will of the people throws
Col. Napier into a fury, and in very
strong language he denounces the
traffic both an insult aud outragejto
the people.

whether it was Mr. Alley, the wagon,
