ENTERED AT DALTON COST OFFICE AS SECOND CLASS MAIL MATTER. 11. A. WRENCH. Editor and Proprietor. SA I UIIDAY, JUNE 21, 1800 For Congress R. W. EVERETT, of Polk County. The fanners choice, the people’s ser vant, a man who succesfully tills the 1 soil, energetic in business, conserva tive in methods,firm in his convictions, solid in judgment, and invincible in his convictions of right. A man with out political blemish,able, concientious and fearless. A Democrat without faltering, and every inch of him a man. The Argus submits him to the ratification of the Democratic conven tion. The season of exciting land sales is about over for this year, but there is every evidence that the next will be none the less eventful in its beneficial results. Public spirited communities that are preposed for the work will stand a good chance. Let us be ready. For a square, up and down, all around Governor, there has not been a man before the people of Georgia for many years, who better fills the bill than Northern That he is a farmer and a worker in behalf of an improved agri culture, should strengthen him on all sides. Some one has made a point that Farmer Northen was at one time a country school teacher. A man who knows of the weak places in our school system, might, as Governor, help to throw off the night-mare of its faults. A Washington correspondent no ticing the return of Congressman Clements to bis scat from a lection eering tour of this district reports him as having set his stakes. Does the Congressman mean by that that he has fenced in his catlie? The Tribune of Rome says that the man who beats Judson Clements must get up soon in the morning to do it. Well, Farmer Everett gets up with the morning star. How will that do? With Col. Hardeman as Governor, and Col. Boh as State Treasurer, Geor gia might set an original example by supplying places for the balance of the family. Hon. I. E. Shumate will deliver a lecture before the Georgia Chatauqua Assembly, at Salt Spring, July 20tb, his theme being entiled “Educational Misfits.” We do not know a subject that offers so wide a range of treat ment,or a man better quaifiedto touch with deep pathos the tragic pathways of its subjecte, or to round with graph ics humor the absurdities which trend its way. Col. Shumate’sclose shaving pliilosphy, keen perception of follies, and ready witted criticism, braces him foi a rich and analytical discussion of “Educational Misfits,” and that means a rarity of lecture well worth the troub le to hear. The return of Congressmen Clem ents and Carleton to Washington is noted by the Journal correspondent, with something like a high glee ex pression at Hardeman’s letter and candidacy for Governor, in which it seems that they take Hardeman’s an tagonism to the Alliance policy as an evidence that it is breaking down, and will spread over the State like wild-fire. Col. Hardeman may be able to hack the Alliance and turn matters to the liking of the politicians, as has been done in other instance; but it won’t do for every scared Con gressman to depend too largely upon it.

If the census enumerators have a correct idea of their duties there is one point in which a failure of serious im port will occur. A person who lives in the country, and may claim to be a farmer because of his ownership and cultivation of land, and may also do business in the city, is required to give no report of the latter, or of his town possessions, because the rural enume rators are only instructed to take re ports of farms and farm products. In the South this will leave quite a bulk f of unreported business and property. I The census taken should be aimed to get information without regard to boundaries. Col. Tom Hardeman's sudden tilt into the gubernatorial field may be worked as a sensation by some of the newspapers who are favorable to a | split and a chance nomination in the ; Democratic convention ; but it is no ! I surprise to those who have watched I his timid and no-commital course, ’ and have known his long desire. He is too jovial a fellow not to have a fol lowing, and the Houston county action cannot be considered other than as a preconcerted leader to this end. The simple question before the fanners of Georgia, to-day, is not that of favoi or objection to the sub-treasury law, or the possibilities of its success ; but ■ rather to show the strength and unity I of their purpose to demand political recognition in the legislative halls; and they must do this by standing fast to their recognized candidates in face of all the confusion which will beat tempted by a jumping up of other candidates. Northen is the farmers’ candidate. ■County Demodiaoy. Pursuant to a call of the chairman, the Democratic Executive Committee of Whitfield county, met in Dalton, at the Court House, at 2 o’clock p. m., Saturday, June 14th, at which time the f< Rowing business was transacted.

A Safe Guard. Few people living in a malarial country but occasionally need a vigor ous tonic, either to keep off the malar ial feeling or else to cure the disease if it once gets into the system. There is no more uncomfortable disease that affects humanity than chills and fever. It drives away energy and ambition. It makes one feel sick and mean all over. A safe guard against the disease and a sure cure is Smith’s Tonic Syrup, made by Dr. John Bull, of Louisville, Ky. A single bottle will do for an en tire family. It is far better than qui nine. as no derangement of the system cTl'r follows its use. The use of qui nine causes a buzzing in the ears, diz zy sensations, nausea and sometimes even convulsions and paralysis. Use Smith’s Tonic. Syrup and all such dan ger is avoided. In fact it has all the good medicinal qualities of quinine with none of its evil nature. The memorial address of Hon. W. C. Martin, of Dalton, published in the Argus of that city, is one of the most, patriotic and elequent we have seen. This young orator paid a glowing tri bute to Southern valor and pictured in j vivid colors the boro dead. The ora tion was enthusiastically received, and evinced the popularity of the speaker in his home town. “Will” Martin is a coming young man in North Georgia; keen your eye on him.—Cedartown Three Book Cases, three Side Borads three Hat Rock and three Parlor Suits all to be sold at greatly reduced prices, call at once and secure a bar. gain.
