THE EXAMINEE.

CONYERS, GA., SATURDAY AUG. 17, 1S78
The Walton County YideUe hoists
the name of Hon. Thomas G. Lawson,
Putnam, at its most head for Congress,
subject to the decision of the Democrat¬
ic Convention of the Gt1i District which
assembles at Milledgeville on the 4th ol
September, The Yidette says:
“The name of Col. Lawson is by no
means a new one to the voters of the
Sixth Congressional District, neither is
his name unknown to Fame’s bright role
—lie having served his country for many
successive years with eminent distinction
in the State Legislature, and also in the
State Constitutional Convention. Aside
irom his political history—which beams,
from its commencement, with patriotism’s
effulgent Light, and with chivalrous con¬
duct—he elands at the top of his profes¬
sion of law, of which hi is an honored
member,-and is no doubt to-day the peer
of any man in the State in legal ability.
With a mind liberally endowed with Na
ture’s bright jewels, and a heart of no¬
blest virtues, he is an ornament to his
profession, to society, and to the Slate at
large.’’
Qukrijv.—W hat has the Athens Watch
man, the Independent organ of Emory
Speer, got to do with the nom’nation
Col. Billups by the G dncsville convene
tion t If the members of the convention
and the organised Democracy, who they
represent, are satisfied with the mannpr
of declaring Col. Billups their standard
bearer, wo can’t see that Emory Speer,
or his organ, has any right to object.
The Independent movement (socalled)
in the £4h, resolves itself into the forlorn
hope of a disoignnizer riding into office
on the prejudices of the people, and they
upped 1 only to the prejudices and baser
passions of mankind to suslahi their po¬
sition ! In tins they show how utterly
destitute their cause is of anything like
principle, 't hey are but following in the
footsteps of their notorious predecessors*
the Scalawag Independents of ’67 and
’68. The programme now is idenically
the same as that of the scheming Inde¬
pendents of the past, viz : to draw what
strength they con from the weaker ele¬
ments of Democracy, unite it with the
dormant elements of Radicalism and se¬
cure their selfish aggrandizement at the
expense of principle. The present op¬
position to the organized Democracy is
but a repetition of the contest of the
past. Why even the Scalawag Indepen>
dents made loud professions of democra¬
cy, but claimed to be in advance of the
party on the issues of the day ! But the
true Democracy were of a different opin¬
ion then, and the sequel will show, when
this campaign is ended, that they have
not changed.
The Democratic nominating conven
tion for the Gilt District, is announced to
bo held at Mi'kdpevi le, <n the 4ih
dny of September next. A mass meet¬
ing of the Democracy of this county
should be held at an early day, to se¬
lect dele, ales Id represent this county
in that convention. \Ye would like to
see a good old time movement of the
people in convention assembled, for the
purpose of giving expression to their
views and desires, with reference to the
approaching Congressional canvass.—
This is a high privilege that belongs ex¬
clusively lo the people, and it is their
duty to exercise it. Let us hear no more
“rings” and‘‘cliques such things can¬
not exist when the people do their duty
to themselves and their party. The idea
that a ‘*ring” or “clique,” composed of
four or five men, can “bulldoze' 1 an en¬
tire party of any county into the sup¬
port of their particular measures, con¬
trary to the wishes of the rank and file
the party, is as absurd as it is untrue ! —
When p call is made, it is an invention
for all Democrats to meet together fer
the purpose ot interchanging views with
each other, in which the humblest and
least indentions voter has as much light
lo be heard, as the most ostentatious
leader. Such bciug the fact, is it not
proper and light that all Democrats,
who have a common object in view, viz :
to devise the best method of securing
the triumph of Democratic principles,
•hould meet together, and by their units
ed counsels adopt such measures of agree
mer.t for the Jurthcrcnoei^if tha desired
object as will secure harmonious acliou
by all the members f •
By thorough organization the Democ**
racy have accomplished u great work fer
Georgia. Although throttled by Feder¬
al bagouels, they stood to their organi¬
sation with a determination that made
Ihe carpet-bag government quail before
♦heir onward march. In that great con
tekt for constitutional liberty, the people
were the leaders as well as the rank and
file, and no cry of “ring” or ‘ clique”
would have been in the least heeded.—
And why? .Because it was the move-»
ment ot a people united for a common
purpose w ho were determined lo con¬
quer. It is true, as our readers well re¬
member, the Scalawags of that day who
offered for oflke, called themselves J/i-
dependents, with the hope ot inducing
the weak-kneed Democrats to vote lor
middle ground. There were but tieo
then, .,,h! it was known ,c which
party every man belonged, I here
but two parties itt Georgia now, viz: the
triumphant organized Democracy, and the
dormant remains ot the Radical
that ... is only , wailing ... fur - ,, t.ie opportunity .
to show its hydra-head again.
We have been led into these reflec¬
tions by the so-called Independent move
ruent in other l'isiriotp, by men who
have heretofore affiliated with the Dem¬
ocrat^ party, and endeavoring to vend
assunder the proud old organization to
which Georgia is so much indebted for
her present blessings ot free government,
and which is the only hope of freeing the
General Government from the clutches
ot usurping thieves and plunderers.
We are proud that no Independent
movement has been set in motion in the
old 6tn, and we trust to see her, as she
has ever done in the past, present an un¬
broken front in the approaching Con¬
gressional contest—a solid ard harmoni¬
ous Democracy, marching triumphantly
to victor) under the banner of whoever
may be chosen by the Convention < f the
District as worthy of the position of ooK
or bearer.
THE ECLIPSE.
An Axeful Catastrophe in r Iexas.
(St. Louis Globe-Democrat,)
In the dark path of the late eclipse
across Texas, 116 miles in width, there
were thousands of ignorant people, both
white and black, who bad not heard that
anything peculiar was about to happen
Many of these people the eclipse surpris¬
ed at work in their fields. Many ludi
crous scenes are reported. Especially on
the plantation of United States. Smntoi
Coke, near Waco, was it that the negroes
went to praying, believing verily that
the day of judgment had come. A ter
lible tragedy in Johnson county may bt
set down to the. eclipse, Rphriatn Mil¬
ler, colored, with his fami y of wife and
four children, lived near Buchanan, in
that county, whither he had removed
from Tennessee six months a jo. On the
morning of the ecj’pse he said he had
heard the world was coming to an end
that evening, and if so, he intended to bt
so sound asleec-p the trumpet of the An¬
gel Gabriel could not awaken him. When
the eclipse commenced and the darkness
of totality came on, he run from the field
all the wav to the house with a small
hatchet in his hand “He was followed by
a negro woman, named Nancy Elwpn.
thought the world was coming to an end'.
As she got to the house Miller’s wifi
rushed out under the same delusion, and
looked up at the beautiful corona of liglv
around the black moon, screamed, ‘Com*,
sweet charriot!’ at the same time nislr
ing across a cotton field wringing hei
hands. In the meantime Miller, wishing
to take his ten year old hoy with him it
the other side of Jordan, raise tl his hatch
et and split his son’s head open, Leav -
ing the latter weltering in his b'ood and
struggling m the last throes of death,
the father, on a ladder ascended to tin
top of’he house, Here, with a new. r. *•
zor, he cut his throat f om ear to ear and
tell to the ground a corpse, His I wo
little daughters escaped by hiding und r
a bed.

IT IS P803 POLISH
For any retail merchant to sell Inferior
goods because lie can make
more money on them.
Instead of trying to find the cheapest
that can bo bought, he should always
eelact THE liUST in the market.
We know of no business anywhere, in the
city or country, that would not sooner become
permanently established, and in the long run
pay better, by handling only fair and honest
goods. To be sure, custom may for a while
be allured by low prices into the' purchase
of inferior and adulterated articles; many
eveii take up with short weight and other
swindling; but lime rights nil these
things, and nothing is more certain than that
H0KE8TY IS TH E BEST POLICY
TiIEN Bv) liuSIXESS
TO MMS MBMiYl
The surest way to accomplish this is to
build up a permanent trade.
Tills can not lie uMy te
if Merit pric are soli.
It is only by keeping the best articles of cheir
kind, even if they do not pay the largest
immediate profit, that a permanent business
is built up. Keep the best soap, the best
starch, the best spices, the best baking powder,
and so on through the whole list. We have
known a grocer to lose a customer whose
trade was worth a hundred and fifty dollars
a year clear profit to him, just because he
would not supply a bating powder that was
demanded by the best trade.

it is a first-class article, will do all we
claim for it, and never fails
to work WELL.
It is a credit to any merchant’s stock, and is
one of the few good things he can confidently
recommend to every customer. It will sell
itself a/ter one trial, for its great merits are
soon appreciated. And not only so, but one
lady using it will tell others of the wonderful
properties of Ska Foam, and where it can be
purchased, apd so the tide of trade will
gradually but surely set toward the enterpris¬
ing grocer who keeps it in stock. Actually,
the ladies of Georgia where Sea Foam has
been introduced, are noted for making better
bread, biscuit, com cakes, and other cookery
than can be found anywhere else, and they
give Bit a Foam <’;* credit, and won’t use any
other baking preparation.. And it is not to be
wondered at, either, lor SEA FOAM
NEVER FAILS
