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. W. H.

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. Choice Breakfast Bacon at Davis’.

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. Any one wanting nice grapes for canning or preserving, call on B. F. Jones, at barber shop, Hotel Dalton. Who Are They? No medical remedy ever put before the people has received an endorse ment so universal and enthusiastic 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 number these statements are without a parallel in the history of medicines, and they prove beyond question that 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 anan Messenger. Longley for Representative.
