i 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 gee, Haralson and Elbert, last Satur day. n The Commercial College of Ky., University, Lexington, Ky., received the Gold Medal over all Colleges, at the World’s Exposition. See adver tisement. 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 ouac for July is unusually' full of good things. Morton Casseday' has an in teresting article on the “Trappist Monastery' in this State:” Major J. M. Wright, gossips about “Old Army Service.” The editor’s table has a sensible disquisition on newspaper in vention of great men, and Opie Read, and others, furnish good poems. Ma jor de Fontaine’s article on the “At tack of Sumter,” Dr. Oswald’s ac count of “Southern Resorts,” Miss Cunningham’s story and other good things go with the rest to make the Bivouac delightful reading.—From the Commercial (Louisville, Ky.) of June 80th. 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. A small fee will be charged for ad mission to the college concert tonight, the money to be used in the purchase of piano. I have made great reductions in Millinery, especially in White Straw Hats and Flowers. Parties in search of bargains, will find it to their advan tage to give me an early call. Miss S. E. Bkaeden. 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.

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 Martinez place in Columbia county, killing Walton, instantly. He and family, five in number were at dinner. The deceased was seated nearest the fireplace and consequently receiv ed the full force of the stroke as it passed down the chimney. Very lit tle damage done to the house, one plate shivered. The rest of the family unharmed. A Ring Around the Sun.—A curi ous phenomenon greeted the eyes of those who looked up towards the sun before noon Thursday. Around the sun was a large rainbow-colored cir cle, somthing which has never before been seen by this scribe—Early Coun ty, Ga, News. “Silver Lake” and other fine brands of Tobacco just arrived, at the neiv drug store of Dr. T. H. Kenan. 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.
