UNION & RECORDER.
Milledgeville, July 6, 1886.
The Campaign.—On Saturday the
count stood, Bacon 64, Gordon 146,
Jones 6, Uninstructed 2.
Much good time has been lost this
year on account of rains, politics and
other obstacles to hinder the farmers.
General Gordon carried Monroe,
Thomas, Jasper, Hall, Floyd, Musco

The people of Atlanta are accepting
prohibition in good spirits and good
faith. We have an abiding confidence
that two years will prove the wisdom
and wholesome benefits of this great
moral movement,
The strikers in some places are still
defying the police, and by force are
preventing the movement of cars,
throwing off switches, and wrecking
ca rs. Is there no law.to prevent such
lawlessness.
Under the call of the county Execu
tive Committee, a mass meeting of
the Democratic party of Baldwin
county, will be held next Tuesday,
13th inst., at Amusement Hall, to se
lect delegates to the State Democratic
convention which meets in Atlanta on
the 28th inst.
Mr. Morrison’s plan to provide in
part for the payment of soldiers’ pen
sions by levying a tax upon the in
comes of the rich is a good and just
one. The Republican monopolists
warmly oppose it. The Democrats
favor it and wiil lose nothing by it at
the polls. The record is made and the
Democrets have the vantage ground.
Prohibition went into effect in At
lanta last Thursday. The Capitol says:
“The great rush at the saloons this
(Wednesday) morning points to a sig
nificant fact: Many people will have
their iugs at home, just to use when
they feel bad. And they will mostly
always feel bad. Gradually the snake
bite * provision will diminish until
it’s all gone, and then—a Macon
correspondence. The following form
of a note is furnished the people of
Atlanta gratis:
'•Mrs. Please lend me a little
whiskey. Will return it as soon as
mine conies from Macon. With great
respect, Yours, etc., ”
Vetoing Pension Bills.—The
President continues to veto objection
able pension bills. This is gratifying
to many Democrats who know that
the persons named in the pension
bills were not entitled to the appro
priations sought to be made. Some
of these persons never performed any
militarv services whatever, and the
President has the honesty and courage
to refuse sanctioning appropriations
for these false heroes. Doubtless
some of the names presented are fic
titious cliaracteis, and the appropri
ation goes to the use and benefit,of
the parties who profess to represent
persons who not only never handled
a gun in the war, but had no exist
ence at Hi. The President deserves
much credit, and is adding to his pop
ularity for rejecting such bogus claims.
The newspapers say that a number
of people in the neighborhood of the
illicit distillery where Brown was shot
and killed by the revenue officer last
week, sent word to the revenue offi
cials in Atlanta of what was going on
and requested them to “break it up.”
The officers accordingly went, to dis
charge their duty in the premises and
when they were fiercely attacked by
brawny men with rocks, struck down
and their lives endangered and their
warnings to desist set at naught,
they, or rather one of them, McDon
ald.* used his revolver in self defence
and one of the men named Brown
was shot and shortly died.
When the Coroner’s inquest was held
and the jury selected from the crowd
of many people who had collected and
the facts brought before them in evi
dence, it took only twenty minutes
for them to find a verdict of murder
against McDonald, and it is stated
mat there is a bad feeling against
that officer among the people and yet
Brown had repeatedly been arrested
before for similar infractions of the
law, had served some time in the Al
bany, X. V. penitentiary, and was
generally considered as a dangerous
desperado. •
Truly the people in the neighbor
hood of the place of the tragedy must
be a “peculiar people” but we fear
not “zealous of good works.” They
must have singular notions concern
ing the revenue officials and must
hold that they have no rights that
Moonshiners are bound to respect and
especially as regards their privileges
of self defence-
Pension Bills.
On the 24th of June the President
considered and acted upon 118 pri
vate pension bill. He vetoed 30 and
approved 88. He is a laborious work
er, for it is stated he wrote all the
veto messages without assistance, by-
dictation or otherwise. The labor
may be readily seen when it is stated
that his veto messages made about
fifty pages of closely written foolscap.
It is stated that the President has
personally written every message that
has been issued from the White House
during his administration. Every
body will admit that he was fairly en
titled to take a day off, on the follow
ing day, when he went fishing down
the river on a private yacht with
several members of Congress. The
next day he found on his return 203
bills ready for his action. All of these
but 62 were private pension bills.
While the President is a hard worker
with great physical strength, it seems
to us he ought to have aid in such ex
cessive labor. He would find relief in
dictating his messages to be written
by others. I
THE TARIFF.
We proposed to say something more
on the tariff upon the renewal of Mr.
Morrison’s resolution which was prom
ised, after its defeat, caused by the
opposition of a number of Democrats.
As it has been passed over by the vol
untary action of Mr. Morrison, doubt
less -with the consent of the great body'
of the party, we will defer an expres
sion of such views as we desired to
express in connection with such action
as the Democratic party might take
on the subject. It was deemed best,
no doubt, to abstain from further ef
fort at present,-as a renewal of the
question would, in all likelihood have
resulted as the first one. The party
will, unquestionably present to the
country some authoritative pro
gramme before the adjournment of
Congress. This will be necessary to
place it rightly before the country, as
the general convention, which nomi
nated Mr. Cleveland for the Presiden
cy, pledged the party to take some
action on the subject of tariff reform.
As some formal action will certainly
be had by the Democrats before the
adjournment of congress, that will be
the most suitable time for such com
ments to be made as we desire to place
before our readers and the Democrats
generally. We have entertained the
hope that such measures may be
adopted as will secure the approba
tion of all the Democrats. We found
ed this hope upon the universality of
the sentiments of all our representa
tives from Georgia, and other South
ern States, wittrtbe exception of four
in Louisiana, one in Alabama, and
one in Maryland. Surely the twenty
odd Democrats who opposed Mr. Mor
rison’s resolution will not finally
thwart the wishes of the immense ma
jority of the party who desire a grad
ual reduction of the duties, especially
as the Democratic convention of 1884,
pledged the party to use all the means
at its command to effect it. While the
Party is thus pledged to reduction,
it cannot be effected if its purposes
are defeated by the withholding of a
sufficient number of Democratic
votes, to prevent the success of its
legislative efforts. The tariff is deemed
by' the leaders and people to be the
most important question before the
country' and, in spite of Democratic
victory at the polls, a few obstinate
men may' relegate it to temporary if not
hopeless inefficiency' and defeat.
The people of the United States
have given to the Democratic party'
a safe conduct to political power
which may' he overthrown by' a few
misguided and reckless members—
men to whose tutilage, care and pro
tection, they have entrusted their
principles and hopes. We hold that
whatever their views may be they
are bound by honor and duty to main
tain and not betray them. This they'
can do, and afterwards, should their
scruples force them to disconnection,
they can retire with clean hands from
the* duties imposed upon them, and
seek other associations with the kind
feelings of old associates, -without
blots or wrinkles upon character or
conscience.
The number of the Southern Biv

GEORGE B. DAVIS HANGED.
The Columbus Enquirer-Sun of the
28th ult contains a detailed account of
the execution in Seale, Ala., of George
B. Davis for the murder of Archie
Reams, alias Archie McClellan. The
hanging was witnessed by a large
crowd. Davis made a dying statement
in which he said: “Well, people, See
what I have come to. I know I killed a
man like a rascal, but I will try to die
like a man. I hope my case will be
an example to the people. Oh, merci
ful God turn sinners from their sins
and save them.”
The Enquirer-Sun gives the follow
ing
HISTORY OP DAVIS, OR SPARKS:
Davis B. Sparks, better known as
George B. Davis, was born in Rough
and Ready, Ga., (supposed to be East
Fointnow), on the 25th day of July ’61.
Shortly afterwards his mother remov
ed to Washington county, Ga., where
she married A. T. Loverett. Davis
went to school at Camp Ground
school house for a short time. His
teacher was a Methodist minister
named Folsom, who learned him to
read, write and cipher tolerably 7 well.
IN me years ago Davis broke loose from
his mother’s restraining influences,
and launched forth into the by r -ways
of sin. He visited Macon, Atlanta,
Augusta, Sandersville, and other
pla.ces, leading a highly immoral life,
and returned to Washington county
m December, 1881. In January, 1882,
lie married a Miss Johnson, against
the wishes of his mother. He lived
with her only six weeks and
then deserted her, going to Augusta,
tiience to Sandersville. In Dodge
county', in August, 1884, Davis and a
reckless companion visited a camp
meeting, and behaved very bad
ly. Among other things, they sold
liquor without license. The people
became so indignant that Davis and
his evil associate were forced to leave
the county. Dayis seemed to like
this kind of business, and upon re
turning to Washington county again,
he visited several other camp meet
ings and continued to sell whisky
without license. He repeated this at
a negro camp meeting in Hancock
county, but things grew so hot for
him that he was forced to leave tlie
neighborhood. In September or Oc
tober, 1884, he came to Alabama and
obtained a situation with Mr. J. E.
Fitzgerald, where the murder was com
mitted. On the 25th day of Novem
ber, 1884, he married Mrs. Fields, who
nursed him when he ivas a baby'. He
lived with her only six weeks, during
which time he fell desperately in love
with Emma Reams, a sister of his
victim, because of which the murder
was probably committed.
Davis is about 5 feet 10 inches in
height, has dark hair and ey 7 es and
weighs about 170. He is a very ordi
nary looking man and his mental
faculties are weak.
Mr. Benj. Clark an old and promi
nent citizen of Putnam county, died
last Sunday. He attended church at
Ramoth, which celebrated its fiftieth
anniversary on that day. He was in
his usual health when he left home,
but soon after reaching the church
was stricken with apoplexy or heart
disease and died in a few minutes.
He was a devoted member of Romath
church and had probably been con
nected with it from its organization,
fifty' years ago. It is said he made
the last prayer in the church before
his death, when going out to look aft
er his horse he fell and expired. It
was at once determined that his fu
neral should take place then and
there, and the strange incident is
presented of a man riding in his usual
health, to his own funeral.
Colonel George T. Jackson’s
Cask.—Yesterday Hon. H. Clay Fos
ter, of Augusta, had a long conference
with Governor McDaniel relative to
a pardon for Colonel George T. Jack-
son, who is in the penitentiary camp
at Oldtown. Mr. Foster left with
Governor McDaniel voluminous pa
pers relating to the matter. It is
probable that some days will elapse
before Governor McDaniel reaches a
decision.

The cause of the fire in the base
ment of Messrs. Holloway & Co’s store
has not been satisfactorily accounted
for, so far as we have heard. But as the
rear window was protected by an
open iron grate, it is presumed that a
match was thrown into a box of straw
that sat near the ‘window, which
caused the fire either maliciously or
accidentally.

He Had Out-Traveled Him.
A traveler called very late for break
fast at a hotel kept by 7 Dr. Thompson,
of Atlanta, Ga., and who was a celebra
ted joker. The meal was hurriedly pre
pared and Thompson, feeling that
the feed was not quite up to the mark,
made all sorts of apologies all around
the eater, who worked on in silence,
never raising his head bey 7 ond the af
firmative influence of his fork or by
an act acknowledging even the pres
ence of mine host.
This sulky demeanor rather annoy
ed the doctor, who, changing the
range of his battery, -stuck his
thumbs in his vest arm holes, expand
ed his chest by robbing the room of
half its air and said:
“Now, mister, durn me if I hain’t
made all the apology necessary, and
more too, considering the breakfast,
and who gets it; and now I tell you
I have seen dirtier, worse cooked,
worse tasted, worse looking and a
durn sight smaller breakfast than
this is several times.”
The weary hungry one meekly laid
down his tools, swallowed the bite
in transit, placed the palms of his hands
together and modestly looking up at
the vexed and fuming landlord shot
him dead with the following words:
4 4 1 s—what—you—say—true?”
‘.‘Yes, sir,” came with vindictive
promptness.
“Well, then, I’ll be d—d, old man, if
you hain’t out-traveled me!”
COMMENCEMENT AT MERCER.
Macon, Ga., June 29.—The annual
alumni and literary addresses of Mer
cer University were delivered this
morning before a very large
audience. Hon. Thoe. Watson, of
Thomson, was the alumni orator.
His subject was, “Scepticism.” Judge
Logan E. Bleckley, of Atlanta, deliv
ered the literary address on “Truth in
the Spheres of Thought and Emo
tion.” The junior exhibition occurred
to-night, at Masonic Hall. While the
rain fell in torrents a goodly audience
greeted the young orators. The
speeches were very good. At the con
clusion of the speeches, Hon. Charles
Bart ell delivered, in a very fine ad
dress, the first and second medals to
the best declamators in the sophomore
classes. The first medal was award
ed to George Jones, Jr., of Macon, and
the second to Carl Steed, of Macon.
Parsons, the Chicago anarchist says
that when the bomb was thrown on
the night of the Haymarket riot, he
rushed home to his wife, and they
agreed, after consultation, that flight
was necessary. Parsons’hair and mus
tache are naturaly an iron gray, but
Parsons kept them dyed to a darker
hue. His nearest friends knew him
as a dark haired man. As soon as
Parsons decided; to fly he went to
work on his hair and mustache and
soon made a complete change in his
appearnace. By morning he was dis
guised beyond recognition, and
aboard a train was enroute to Oma
ha. He remained at a country house
twenty-five miles from Omaha, writ
ing regularly to his wife until lie was
advised to appear in court, which he
did.
Subsidy Lobbyists in Tearg.
[Special to the World.]
Washington, June 29.—Mr. Blount,
Chairman of the Committee on Post-
Offices and Post-Roads, received the
congratulations of the House this af
ternoon on his success at bringing the
Senate committee to terms on the
steamship subsidy to the Post-Office
Appropriation bill. The managers
on the part of the Senate, consisting
of Senators Beck, Plumb and Gor
man, held out till late this afternoon,
hoping to have a concession made by
Mr. Blount, but without avail.
For the past three weeks there has
been hanging about the halls of both
houses one of the strongest kind of
lobbies, composed of reputed mer
chants from the southern cities, main
ly New Orleans, Mobile, Pensacola
and Galveston. As the result of the
conference was reported to the
House there was a general outburst
of indignation from the outraged lob
by. They are talking loudly at the
hotels to-night, saying that no longer
can the Democratic party hold the
South solid and that any . amount of
money will be sent to Mr. Blount’s
district for the purpose of defeating
his re-election.

The Chronicle in Atlanta.
Atlanta Constitution.
Atlanta is becoming quite a news
paper centre and the leading dailies
of the State are establishing head
quarters of their own at the Capital.
The latest arrival is the Augusta
Chronicle, which makes the folloiving
announcement
“The Chronicle recommends its At
lanta- department to the people of
the Capital and the State. Mr. E. B.
Hook our agent .and correspondent,
will be found affable and capable, and
will keep the Chronicle before the
public and the public before the
Chronicle. He has organized for .bus
iness and the paper w ill be found at
his office at all times. Our new r s ser
vice will thus be enlarged and our
business facilities widened.” *
The Constitution is glad to w’elcome
the Chronicle in Atlanta, and be
speaks for its reprerentative, Mr. E.
B. Hook, the advantage of every fa
cility which should be extended the rep*
resentative, of such a journal. Mrr
Hook has served several years upon
the staff of the Chronicle in lAugusta,
is an accomplished gentleman and
will prove a valuable addition to the
ranks of journalism in Atlanta.
No one has attracted so much at
tention at the national capital during
the last ten days as Mrs. Cleve
land, and it Is improbable that any
future mistress of the white house
will have so many persons eager to
see her. The ladies who made a study
of Mrs. Cleveland at the two recep
tions held in the past week say that
she will be a credit to the white house,
and will give satisfaction to the people
who have to do with the administra
tion. If she interferes with the ac
tion of the president the ladies think
that her interference will be for the
better. There is all the difference in
the world between the general char
acter of Mr. Cleveland and his wife. He
is slow and phlegmatic, while she is
very energetic. He is methodical
and meditative, while she is gay and
somewhat quick to act. But those
who have seen most of Mrs. Cleve
land say that the match was a very
good one.—Baltimore American.
Dr. Orme Honored.—Saratoga, N
Y.,July 1.—Dr. F. H. Orme, of Atlan
ta,.was elected president of the Amer
ican Institute of Homeopathy. This
election vras peculiarly complimeata-
ryjfor the following reasons: For two
or three years there has been a dis
position to tender him this office,
which he has put aside for personal
reasons, with modest objections.
There is a by-law of the institute
which prevents the election of any
one who was not present at that
meeting to an office at the institute.
D». Orme was detained in Atlanta by
illness, but the by-law was put aside
and he was unanimously elected pres
ident of the association, a point with
out precedent in the history of the in
stitute. The Institute is the oldest
national medical association in A-
merica, and ranks among the first
medical associations of the world.
Atlanta appreciates the unusual
but deserved honor done one of her
citizens. No man stands higher or
is more beloved in Atlanta than
Dr. F. H. Orme and the American
Institute of homeopathy has hoir-
ored itself in honoring him.
' The Election of Senator Payne
of Ohio.—Charges have been made
that Senator Payne of Ohio, was elec
ted by the use of a large sum of mon
ey. The majority of the Senate com
mittee think there is not sufficient ev
idence to show this, or that this dis
tinguished Democrat was elected by
improper means, and the majority of
the committee will sustain this opin
ion. Several of the majority are Re
publicans among whom are Tiller, Ev-
arts, Logan and Saulsbury. This re
sult will be gratifying to the friends
of Senator Payne and the Democrats
generally. ^
On Monday, at noon, during a se
vere thunder 6torm, lightning struck
the house of Morgan Walton, on the

The deceased was seated nearest

passed down the chimney. Very lit

Blairsville, Ga., July 2.—The
most shocking and dreadful tragedy
known in the history of Union county
was enacted in Ivy Log district,
twelve miles west of Blairsville, on
Friday night, in which one man,
Washington Whitmore was shot
through the heart, and his twin
brother, Roll Whitmore, was mortal
ly wounded by a pistol ball through
the bowels, and who has since died.
Two others, Ed and Harve Hartness
were considerably carved up with
knives. The facts gathered are as
follows:
THE CAUSE OF THE TROUBLE.
Roll Whitmore is the father of an
illegitimate child by Marion Hart
ness’s daughter, a girl of fifteen years.
Whitmore was a few months ago mar
ried to a young lady by the name of
Hughes, and had induced the mother
of the child to give it to him tor raise.
She, on the day before the night of
the killing, asked to have the child
sent to see her, which request was
complied with. The child was carried
by Roll Whitmore’s mother in the
morning, with instructions to bring it
home in the afternoon. Being re
fused the child by its mother, Mrs.
Whitmore informed the boys of the
situation.
THE CALL TO ARMS,
Roll, together with his brother,
Washington armed themselves with
double-barrel-shot-guns, and starting
to the home of Hartness, said they
would kill the whole d—d set or have
the child. Their father, George Whit
more, appealed to them not to go;
that he w ould get the child and save
a bad fight. Tlie boys w 7 ould not
heed the old man, until, w r hen in
about one hundred yards of the house
of Hartness, he persuaded them to
stop until he could go and see what
could be done. He w r as informed by
the brothers of the girl, that it w r as
her intention to keep the baby, and
that they did not feel called upon to
force her to give it up. Whitmore
begged them to give it up and save
trouble and murder. He went back
to his boys, and told them what was
said. They became enraged, and
proceeded to the house. When w T ith-
in the yard, they were w r arned not to
come in the house.
MET BY POWDER.
Pushing Mrs. Hartness, the mother
of the girl, off the steps, they attempt
ed to go in, when Harve Hartness com
menced firing on them from inside
the house; killing Washington, it is
supposed, on the first shot, as he dis
appeared from the stage of action and
was not seen again until the fight was
over, when lie was found dead in the
yard with his gun by liis side. After
the first shot, all parties being by that
time in the house, the fight became
general, the report of a pistol being
occassionally heard. Roll Whitmore
was found, by Harve' Hartness, on
top of Ed. Hartness, stabbing him,
when he was shot by Harve, the
ball entering the right side near
the short ribs and ranging tow ard the
back, from which he died an hour
later.
Cure for Piles.
Piles are frequently preceded by a
sense of weight in the back, loins and
lower part of the abdomen, causing
the patient to suppose he has some
affection of the kidneys or neighbor
ing organs. At times, symptoms of
indigestion are present*, flatulency,
uneasiness of the stomach, etc. *A
moisture like perspiration, producing
a very disagreeable itching, after get
ting AA'arm, is a common attendant.
Blind, Bleeding, and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of
Dr. Bosanko’s Pile Remedy, which
acts directly upon the part affected,
absorbing the Tumors, allaying the
intense itching, and effecting a per
manent cure. Price 50 cents. Ad
