Mileedgeville, Ga., ) , * • J uly 20, 1886. > Hon. Rob’t. Whitfield: Dear SIR:—The undersigned citi zens of this city, in looking over the material out of which to *get an effi cient member of our approaching Legislature, have settled, on yourself a$ The best man in our opinion to represent the interests of this city and county, and indeed the whole State. Feeling and believing thaty ou possess the requisite qualigcations and know ing the energy with which you prose cute business entrusted to your care, most respectfully ask and urge you to be the people’s candidate for the Legislature the present year. Very respectfully your friend, P. M. Compton, John M. Clare, A. D. Nisbet, Hatch Turner, J. B. Wall, M. R. Bell, Adolph Joseph, C. H. Wright, H. E. Hendrix, C. B. Hendrix, Geo. D. Case. Milledgeville, Ga., Aug. 9, 1886. Messrs. P. M. Compton, John .M. Clark, Adolph Joseph, A. D. Nisbet, C- H. Wright, Hatch Turner, H. E. Hendrix, J, B. Wall, C. B. Hendrix, Geo. D. Case and M. R. Bell: Gentlemen:—Your letter of the 20th ult., handed me by Mr. Compton, would have received an earlier re sponse, but that compliance with its purposes required serious considera tion. Let this and my professional engagements be my apology, i You ask me to become “the people’s candidate for the Legislature,” and I take that to mean, a candidate that will serve the best interests of the city and county, without reference to past differences among our people,and with out an antagonism to any faction, party, or‘ institution. In this sense, I accede to your request. It will be remembered that our county has but recently passed through the pains and throes of a prohibition election. My personal view's were then made known to so many of the people as cared to know them, and now that the whole question is before the courts for adjudication, it does seem that should not be'permitted to enter our other public affairs, and that when it is decided, as it will be shortly, we should bow to the judgment with the same respect and submission as in all other cases. This county is extensively benefitted by two institutions located in its cen tre, viz: the College and the Asylum. That this is true, goes ..without say ing, and I need only say to you, that if I am successful, each will receive my warmest support. If I had doubts as to the wisdom of the man agement of either, I should sink them into mere nothingness for the greater public good, and strive for the achiev- ment of the latter. If the party shall decide to have a a nomination, I am willing for my name to be submitted; but I cannot refrain from saying to you here,, that inasmuch as one candidate, so I am informed, declines to enter the nom ination, and because of the discord and bitterness still existing in the party, and for other manifest reasons, I consider it inexpedient and unwise. Assuring you, gentlemen, of my high regard personally, as well as of my appreciation of your partiality, am; very respectfully, &c., Robt.

Corn, peas, potatoes, etc., will be an aver age crop, cotton cannot be over three- fourths of a crop. Watermelon raising has proved a E rofitable business to' the few who ave engaged in it this year. Mr. D. Branan has netted from a 12 acre field $300. Politics are quiet. All of the anti- Gordon men have gone into their holes and pulled the holes in after them. The result of the “Stock law” elec tion in Jones county, has caused great bitterness of feeling in one District, that was in favor of “fence.” Several of the stock law men have received letters of warning, coffins marked, and various other indignities. Rev. D. McGehee, P. E. of the Maj con district, preached a very instruc tive sermon to a large congregation at M. Chapel, on Sunday last. Mr. J. H. Stevens and family have returned home from a visit of a month to the summer resorts of North Ga. One of Milledgeviile’s loveliest young ladies spent some time in our community, and we will be very much pleased when she repeats her visit. Miss Lula Bagiev is visiting friends at Davis’ Ferry, Monroe county. Miss Belle Neal will spend a few weeks with her aunt in Wilkinson county. Our young friends Messrs Taylor Smith and James Finney have been distressingly ill for several months, and are improving slowly. The communication of Democrat in your last issue must certainly meet the approbation of true men looking to the good of the Democratic party in Baldwin county. Work on the “Artesian well” at the Pottery is progressing and if they fail in this it will be their first failure in any adventure. There are many voters around here who would like to cast their votes for Capt. W. T. Conn, for the Legisla ture. . We are always glad to see the genial and gay widower, Mr. T. S. Bagley among us.

Editors Union-Recorder: No more desirable place can be found-in‘which to while away the summer months than the lovely vil lage of Edgefield. It is situated on a high hill surrounded by fertile val leys, which again border another #ange of hills that entirely surround the village. Standing on the crest ofv one of these rugged hills, one cannot fail to admire the sublime scenery that meets the eye on every side. Edgefield village is twenty-six miles north of Augusta, and about fifty-two south-west of Columbia. The nearest rail road station, at present, is Tren ton, on the Charlotte, Columbia and Augusta Road, about seven miles from the Court House. Between that point and Edgefield a hack line runs twice a day, conveying passengers and carrying Uncle Sam’s mail. The Augusta, Edgefield and Newberry Narrow Gauge is being graded to this point, and by the middle of NovemJ ber will be carrying the fleecy staple from the. fields of Edgefield to the large warehouses of Augusta. Col. Mitchell, who has accomplished such wonders in the management of the A. G. & S. Road in Georgia, is Presi dent of this Narrow Gauge, and by his irresistable magnetism has obtain ed subscriptions enough from this peo ple to insure the completion of his road through their entire county in a few months. Great credit is also due to Mr. Goodrich, his canvasser, for his untiring efforts in behalf of the road. On the completion of the Nar row Gauge some > enterprising man can make a fortune by erecting a fine hotel on one of the ,many hills of Edgefield, and opening it as a sum mer resort to the people of Augusta and other places. The society of Edgefield is as fine as the South affords. Her people are intelligent, educated, and refined, and are noted for their hospitality. It is true that the sons of Edgefield have the reputation abroad of being des perate characters, and that the Court House square is often referred to as bloody ground. I admit that when the Culbreath lynching, the Brooker Toney affair, and the many homicides are mentioned, there is some ground for the accusation. But in justice to the peaceable and enlightened vil lagers it must be said that nearly all of these terrible deeds were commit ted by men living many miles from the Court House. Edgefield is prolific of great men. Before, and during the war she was represented in the Sen ate, the Courts of Europe, and oh the field* by her Butler, her Brooks, her Pickens, her Bonham, her Donovant and her Morague. She has already furnished three Governors, and her present incumbent—Hon. John . C. Sheppard—is one of her worthiest sons. One o’f the present United States Senators—Gen. M. C. Butler— and the Representative from this Con gressional District—Hon. Geo. D. Till man—were born, and live on her soil. Tfcen there is Ben Tillman, the far mer’s Moses, and a host of younger lights who will some day be heard from in the halls of legislation. There are five Christian denominations rep-, resented in Edgefield, viz: Baptists, Methodists, Episcopalians, Presbyte rians, and Catholics, each having a neat and substantial house of wor ship. Rev. T. D. Clarke is pastor of the Baptist Church, and is quite pop ular with his people. I heard him preach last Sunday, and was forcibly impressed with his earnestness, elo quence and boldness in advocating the word of God.- In some of his ex pressions he reminds one of Sam Jones. He frequently uses such phrases, as, Now put that in your pipe and smoke it.”—“Don’t forget to do it up brown.”—“I'll bet you a million dol lars,” &c., &c. He has succeeded in infusing new life into the members of his Church, and is just the man for the Edgefield people. Rev. L. F. Beaty preaches to the Methodists, and is doing great good for his church at this place. He is a young man, and preaches with great fervor. Rev. S. L. Morris has charge of the Presby terian pulpit. He is an old school mate of Houghton’s, and from boy hood gave promise of a useful life. He ranks among the ablest preachers of the county. With Rev. Mr. Cornish of the Episcopal Church, I am not ac quainted. He will soon leave this field where he has been preaching for only a short time, He is said to be an able and faithful herald of the Cross. Father Wilson occasionally holdsi Mass for the Catholics. The Baptists are the strongest denomina tion—outnumbering all the others put, together—and*the Catholics have the finest Church building. As the hack will soon pass for Tren ton, I must defer other items of inter est to my next letter.
