SOLID SOUTH.
JOHN R MADDOX, Editor.__
SATURDAY - - MAY. 22, 1886.
The Chattanooga Times says the
support of Dr. Felton ought to heat
Bacon. It thinks “Felton is of the
American variety of Socialist—a
sort of mollified Herr Most ”
Last Saturday Gordon and Bacon
addressed the citizens of Randolph
county at Cuthbert. The crowd
was enthusiastic for Gordon and it
is thought that he will carry the
county by a large majority.
General Gordon and Major Bacon
met in joint discussion in Lee coun¬
ty Friday of last week and the coun¬
ty voted for delegates next day, giv¬
ing Gordon 84 and Bacon 57 votes.
This was the first fight and Bacon
furnished the blood.
The Methodist conference, now in
session at Richmond, Va.. has elec¬
ted the following Bishops: Rev. Dr.
William Wallace Duncan, of South
Carolina; Rev. Dr. Charles B. Gallo¬
way, of Mississippi; Rev. Dr. Eu¬
gene Russel Hendrix and Rev. Dr.
Joseph Stanton Key, of Georgia.
The President will leave Washing
ton Sunday evening, the 30th instant
for Brooklyn, where he will review
the Decoration day parade the follow
ingmorning, and will review a parade
in New York city in the afternoon, if
possible. At any rate, he will attend
the exercises at the Academy of Mu¬
sic. He will return to Washington
Tuesday morning.
The Board of Managers of the Lee
Monument Association, of Richmond,
Va., have decided that the corner¬
stone of the monument to General R.
E. Lee shall be laid October 23 next.
Colonel Charles Marshal, a promi¬
nent lawyer of Baltimore, has accep
ted an invitation to deliver the ora
tion on the occasion. The site for
the monument has not yet been se¬
lected, nor has the model been deci¬
ded upon.
The action of the Macon county
democratic executive committee
shows who is the popular candidAte
and who the '‘ring” candidate.
When the committee met, it found
present four Gordon men and three
Bacon men. The resolution to elect
delegates by primaries was carried
by the four Gordon votes against
the three Bacon votes. Thus the
people of Macon county may thank
the Gordon men that they are pemit
ted to vote. Another Bacon man on
the committee w'ould have forced a
selection of delegates by the ring.
The last Legislature of Tennessee
was rather tender-footed on the pro
hibition question. Instead of pass
ing a bill to submit a prohibition
constitutional amendment to the peo¬
ple, it adopted a resolution recom¬
mending the people to declare in the
next election whether they wanted to
vote on the question or not. In ac¬
cordance with this resolution the
Governor has issued a proclama
tion calling the attention of the elec¬
tors to the resolution, and they can
now express their opinions on the
question in the choice of members of
the Legislature.
Major Campbell Wallace, chair
man of the railroad commission's
one of the strongest and most earnest
supporters of General Gordon in the
present campaign. A committee of
gentlemen who were undecided as to
whom they would support, called on
Major Campbell Wallace and asked
him if he had any objections to Gener¬ stat
ing his reasons for supporting
al Gordon. “None at all,” said Ma¬
jor Wallace. “In the first race I
supported him in 1868, when he ran
against Governor Bullock and was
counted out, and I have never quit
supporting him since.” “Has his
position on the railroad commission
anything to do with your support?”
It has. I know that he is absolutely
sound on the railroad law and that
he can be depended on to maintain
it. If I did not know this of my own
knowledge I would not support him.
I would not support my own brother
if I did not know that he was right
on the question that I consider all
to the people.”
GENERAL GORDON IN AUGUSTA
General Gordon’s speech in Augus¬
ta was the most telling delivered
thus far.
Accused of resigning an office in
time of peace, by a man who did the
same thing in the face of the enemy,
General Gordon spoke with the earn
estness of a man who knew that he
was right, and with the courage of a
man who never fled under fire.
Notwithstanding that the meeting
was called in General Gordon's inter¬
est, and that Major Bacon was there
by courtesy, the friends of the lat¬
ter organized a mob of claquers,
whose purpose was to cry General
Gordon down • So great became
their disorder that even Col. Black
recognized the outrage that was be
ing perpetrated. words of General Gor¬
The brave
don, however, will not die in Augus¬
ta. They will go ringing into every

New .Tersoj - has developed a mns

The spring session of North Gcor
gin Holiness Conference will be held

On the 26th day of April celebrated, the peo¬
ple of Russellville, Ind..

dread and seventeenth birthday of

Mrs. Willian Shearcs, of Atlanta,
has fallen heir to a fortune of nearly
$200,000. The money was left her
by a brother, James Hancock, who
died a few months ago in En¬
gland.
An average of 2,000 postal cards

Milton says that “beauty is God’s

During the rendition of '‘Ten
Nights in a Bar Room,” on Friday
night in Harmony Grove, one of the
audience, Ii. S Cheney, was struck
with a bullet, but not seriously in
jured,
Jim Lester, of Jackson county, was
attacked by a mad dog Sunday. He
was walking along the road, the uog
met him and at once made an attack
and bit him on the leg. Lester saw
that there was something wrong, and
grabbed the dog by the throat and
choked him to death.
Mr. John F. Wallace showed us

vouches for the fact that a man in
the upper part of the county, some
time ago. ate at one sitting thirty
two biscuits and two baked hens,
drinking with it six cups of coffee
sweetened with sugar and flavored
with salt.
The Republican Congressional
Committee is said to be printing
thousands of copies of ex-President
Davis’ recent speeches so cut as to
make them available as campaign
documents. This is probably an
other Republican blunder.
The young men ot Atlanta, who
are the sons of Confederate veterans,
will soon form an association. V et¬
erans will be allowed to become

W. A. Pledger has moved back to
Athens, and will revive the Blade,
the first number to be issued Satur
day.
General John B. Gordon and Ma
jor Bacon met at Eutonton Monday
and Major Bacon grew very warm
over the report of his resignation
during the war. But he was pain
fully silent on his whereabouts din¬
ing that time. As usual he made
blank assertions and denials but
failed to refute the charges made.
Ordinary Williams, of Upson coun¬
ty, has in his office an old revolu¬
tionary sword that was used by Lieu¬
tenant Henry Riviere, the grand¬
father of Mr. James F. Riviere, in
the Revolutionary war and in the
British war of 1812. The sword has
engraved on the blade thirteen stars,
representing the thirteen original
States, and has the same old wooden
handle it had when used in the two
historic wars. It is in perfect order
and has the appearance of having
done some good work in the days
when the country demanded its ser¬
vice.
A man was fined one hundred dol
lars by the Recorder in Atlanta,

into what the president said in his
special message to the senate.
The State Democratic Executive
committee met in Atlanta Thursday
and after an animated descussion of
the place and time, Atlanta was se
lected as the place and July the 28th

This is about two weeks earlier than
any gubernatorial convention has
ever been held in Georgia.
