Hon. Louis F. Garrard.
Hon. Louis F. Garrard, candidate for
the United States senate to succeed Hon.
Pat Walsh, spoke in Dalton Wednesday.
His audience was very attentive, and as
Mr. Garrard said to The Argus “one of
the most intelligent audiences he ever
addressed.”
His speech was a good one —strong and
to the point. He discussed the issues of
the day in a forcible, business-like man
ner, and there was no one in the audience
who was not edified and refreshed by his
pleasant oratory and sound, able argu
ment.
Mr. Garrard’s speech was as much a
plea for harmony in democratic ranks; as
much a strong exposition of sound de
mocracy ; as much a calm, unprejudicial
statement of the good work of the pres
ent administration, as it was an honest
and open appeal for Whitfield’s support
for himself for United States senator.
His speech did his cause good, and did
the democratic party good. His brief
was so clear, so true, so resonant with
facts and figures, that ignorance alone
could dare to refute it, much less belittle
and ridicule it.
Mr. Garrard is a good, strong, clean
man, and if he is sent to the Unitec
States senate Georgia will have cause to
be proud of Senator Gordon’s colleague.
He would make a strong able senator.
He is one of the best financiers in the
state, is the author of Georgia’s “baby
bond” law, drafted the last Georgia state
platform, and was on the platform com
mittee of the last Chicago convention,
and author of the clause in it calling for
the repeal of the ten per cent, tax on
state banks. All of which goes to prove
that he is well-equipped for the office.

Gordon Springs, July 26.—Pro
tracted meeting commences nextTues
day night, at Salem church. The P.
C. invites the neighborhood to join
in and help in the meeting.—Mr.
Crawford is at home, he left his son
Macon at Terrell, Tex., still unwell.—
The exercises on last Friday, at the
Academy, by the club, were fully up to
the expectation of the crowd that
gethered there on the occasion.—A
party of young people from West Ar
muchee was taking in the Springs
last Saturday.—“ Uncle Tmi Griffin”
is still confined to his room.—Miss M.
Evans, near Salem, is quite feeble
Now that the political convass is on
and warming up, let each esteem oth
ers better than himself, and keep
cool, rememberii g that in former con
vasses, we said some things that are
not pleasant to think of to day.
THE ARGUS; DALTON. GA.. SATURDAY. JULY 28. 1894.
Nice Affairs.
On Monday evening of this week quite
a crowd of young people and older ones
gathered in the parlors of Col. Ben E.
Green, on Thornton avenue, where a
most pleasant evening was spent in social
conversation and innocent games. The
reception was given by the Misses Green
in honor of their visiting kin, Mrs. C. G.
Noble and little daughter, of San Fran
cisco, Cal., and Miss Carrie Bond, of
Holt county, Mo. Those present were:
Dr. and Mrs. R. I. Peak, Col. and Mrs.
W. C. Martin, Mesdames H. C. Babcock,
M. L. Gudger, Miss Laura Matthews;
Rev. M. A. Matthews, J. O. Myers and
T. S. Shope. 11 was indeed a royal affair,
and highly enjoyed by all present, as are
all entertainments given by the Misses
Green, who left nothing undone that
tended to make the occasion more enjoy
able.
On Tuesday evening the same party,
with the exception of one or two, and
the addition of Mrs. Dollie Dettor, Mrs.
Jim Lowry, Hon. Jim Lewis, C. N.
Tremper and Master Harry Peak, went
out to the Mineral Spring, where the
most enjoyable moonlight picnic (with
out the moon) of the season was bad.
An ample supper of the best and most
varied edibles, prepared by the ladies of
the party, was devoured on short notice.
The party did not decide who got the
' menu prize, but it lies between Dr. R. I.
Peak aud Col. Martin ; they both ate so
1 much that it was impossible to ascertain
which one deserved the prize. Rev. M.
’ A. Matthews carried off the prize for
drinking coffee (or rather sugar) with
‘ first honors. All together it was a nice
' feast, and a delightful evening.

Pine Grove, July 24.—G. M. Mc-
Cune carried his first load of water
melons to Dalton one day last week.
—John Warmack has a fine water
. melon patch this year. He has a
great many melons that will weigh
40 pounds each.—Miss Beulah Turner
• has one of the finest cucuinbei vines we
i ever saw ; on 10 inches of the vine it
. has 27 cucumbers growing on it. Who
can beat that?—Joe Warmack is ser-
■ ionsly sick with fever.—Little Mattie
Wood is quite sick this week.— Henry
i Lasater is on the sick list, too.—Mrs.
Turner is worse.—Ed Conk and Tom
Dill went up to Chattanooga in their
’ buggy and came back Saturday.— I'he
i protracted meeting will commence
at Mineral Spring church, next Sun
day, at 11 o'clock. The delegates to
■ the Bapti-t Uni ci Meeting ate Mr.

Rocky Face, July 21.—Notwithstand
ing some of our farmers are through lay
ing by, many elated by the delightful
and refreshing rains of Sunday and Mon
day, are working with such renewed zeal
and energy as is kown only, as it were,
to the farmers of this section. As a re
sult of our efforts this year, corn has put
on its “Sunday clothes”, and cotton is no
longer looking as if it were sick, but it is
also looking its best. —The picnic at
Rocky Face Springs, last Saturday, was
quite an occasion for many to assemble
in pleasant circles of friendly gathering,
amt discuss the prospect of crops, politics
and strikes. All moved along nicely,
many to the gentle glidings of the bow
upon the violin, until a late hour in the
afternoon, when all mutually, without
song or ceremony, went to their respec
tive abodes. —School is progressing nicely,
under the effective tutorship of Prof. Al
verson. —Two of our very successfu
teachers, who teach at other places, Miss
Fannie Russell, Oak Grove, and W. A.
Ault, Woodlawn, were in our village Sat
urday and Sunday, aud spent the time
pleasantly, we trust, with friends ant
relatives.—W. C. Bearden’s family has
moved in our vicinity from Chattanooga.
We are glad to welcome them back. —
We are to have a meeting of the preach
ers and deacons at the Baptist church,
26th and 29th this month, which will be
quite a profitable occasion, as well as an
enjoyable one. Many are expected to
come, and we will have the pleasure of
hearing some of the best talent in the
county during these morning and even
ing services. It is very likely that we
will have a protracted meeting after
these services.

Who Are They?
No medical remedy ever put before
the people has received an endorse

among the thousands who have used
it as that which has been given to Dr.
King’s Royal Germetuer. These en
dorsements are not bought up from
unknown people, but are gladly given
by those who are widely known and
highly esteemed in their various lo
calities. Both as to character and

a parallel in the history of medicines,

this remedy does what is claimed for
it. $1 ; 6 for $5.

POLITICAL POINTERS I
The Lateet About la»crl and State
Poll Oral Moved.
The Ahous charges $5 for announcing candi
dates for county offices; 810 for state, congres
sional and United States senatorial offices. All
you candidates of high and low degree ought to
be sure to have your name in the winner.
The democrats of Whitfield hold their pri
mary for senatorial and legislative candidates
Saturday, August 11 Lh. Be sure to vote.
The wool hat boys in the third party ranks of
Whitfield are kicking vigorously. It is alleged
that the ‘•bosses” in this county had the long
speeches on docket for the first part of last Sat
urday’s convention so the wool hats would get
tired and go home before the voting commenced,
and that the “ring” candidates would be nomi
nated. Many of the country voters, they say,
left befora the voting commenced, and left the
‘•bosses” In charge.
Atkinson estimates his majority this fall at
100,000. Well, we’ll all help him get it.
‘‘Road-law Dispensary Giddens” is the way
the boys call him now.
Over in Alabama Kolb’s men are organizing
kuklux bands, and are trying to terrorize the
democrats. Last week a crowd of fifty of them
fired a volley into the school house of a demo
cratic teacher, and badly wounded some of the
children. In Chambers county a baud of them
has been organized, who have sworn to run
every democrat out of the county. Os course
they will come to gicf and ruin Kolb’s small
chances.
Both Giddens and Moore have the regulation
chin whiskers, of the Livingston “3 P” variety.
John W. Maddox will be the next congress
man from the seventh. Scab Wright and Mc-
Garrity are not in it. Whichever of the two
runs will fall behind Sibley’s vote in 1892.
Those who are trying to get the old soldiers to
vote for Hines are the enemies of democracy and
the enemies of the old soldier. Pay no atten
tion to their efforts to have you stulli’fy yourself.
“Riley Giddens has been nominated for the
senate,” said one third party man to a promi
nent third party man last Saturday. “Well, that
letsmeont,” was the reply. “Good-bye, 3P.,
good-bye ! I had rather be in a party run by a
ring, than in a party run by one man ”
Seth Gregory and T. Jeff Harris are out for the
legislature over in Murray county.
Judge Hines is an able man, they say. It is
hoped that he will be able to bear Atkinson’s
70,000 majority.
At a certain meeting in Dalton, the chairman
(one of Riley Giddcn’s sponsors) made this
statement: “I have here a letter from our rep
resentative in the legislature, Riley A. Giddens,
in which he says he is under obligations to the
‘wet’ element to introduce a ’dispensary’ bill,
and that he will do so. But, as he is under ob
ligations to the ‘dry’ element to oppose the plan,
when the bill comes up before the house he will
speak against it and vote against it.” Riley
seems to carry double with ease.
A three-hours’ harangue, “without a single
point,” as one of the wool hat boys said of Staf
ford's speech, is somewhat of a curiosity.
“Democracy has absolutely refused to repeal
the state bank tax, which they confidently af
firmed would bring relief to the country.”—
Third party resolutions passed last Saturday.
Why didn’t you state how the populist sena
tors voted ? The last one of them voted against
it.
A Whitfield third partyite admitted to The
Argus a few days since that half of his party’s
platform was absolutely rotten, admitted that
most of its leaders were anarchists and were
selfishly prosecuting their own interests. And
yet, he wound up by saying he would support
his party’s leaders and platform. Gee-whiz!
The third party of Whitfield will meet to nom
inate a full county ticket on the Saturday follow
ing the October election.
Our good friend, John J. Caylor, of near Var
uells, was not in close enough touch with the
“bosses” to get the legislative nomination. You
see John is a republican, and while the third
party bosses are glad to get the republican votes,
they do not propose to loosen their hold on any
of the officers. Come over on the Lord's side,
John! We will give you and your friends a fair
shake.
The man’who loves money never spends it, if
he can help it. So our third party friends love
sound doctrine; they never ennunciate it In
fact, they disseminate the other kind.
Peek wants to be buried under a landslide
again. He is going to run for congress in the
sis th, against Livingston.
The Montezuma Record thinks that the demo
crats are going to carry the state of Georgia by an
overwhelming majority, and adds: “Democrats
are falling into line everywhere. Genuine en
thusiasm is being kindled all along the line.
The people are aroused and are going to keep
their state government In the hands of demo
crats.”
The vote in Merriwether county’s primary, in
structing the members of the legislature 'from
that county on the senatorial question, stood 544
for Garrard, to 180 for Bacon. As that is Atkin
son’s county, it shows how the wind is not blow
ing for Bacon.
It begins to appear that it will read Congress
man Bartlett next time, instead of Congressman
Cabaniss.
There are a few men who pledged themselves
in the democratic gubernatorial primaries to
support the nominee, and who now declare they
will vote for Hines. Thank the Lord, such trai
tors are few: but few as they are they should be
watched and their small stings extracted.
Riley will never get in “smelling distance” of
the senate. Joe Moore will make the legisla
tive race very warm.
“1 am satisfied with what I saw in the south
that we can easily carry several states upon
which the democrats fancy they have a first
mortgage. The southern people are as much in
earnest as the people were in Kansas and the
northwest last year. Our battle next year will
be the south and the west against the east. We
will turn Masons and Dixon’s line around ”
The above is a report made by Jerrv Simpson
just after the Simpson-Weaver-Lease raid
through Georgia in 1891. Did they carry a sin
gle state? Notone, and no one has any appre
hension that they will ever be able to carry
even the weakest of the southern states.—Buch
