The Executive Committee of the sev -enth Congressional District of Georgia 4s requested to meet at the pat lorn of ■ihc National Hotel in Dalton on Thurs day 26th instant at 12 o’clock. J. W. HARRIS, JR. Chairman. TO THE PUBLIC. David Ilutnc sayß, “That one is apt to become vain who speaks long of hiuHtclf”. But 1 will ask the indul gence of the teadei 8 the Times for a few words which refer more to mv«elf than the public in general. Sometimes we receive communica tions, and hear it intimated, also as if pome doubts were entertained as to the success and perm a nancy of the Times. Now I wish it clearly understood, that it is mr desire that al ! , if there he any who entertain such thoughts, to keep them to themselves. In taking hold of this paper and the responsibility, ( and I feel the responsibility ) it was with no intention or expectation of failing. The matter and circum stance were too well considered. Icon si h-r my interest too well identified with Dade comity and too much a* stake to fail. It is my desire to make Dade county my home, I irav have o e o’-a; hut if they wish to do me an injustice they will have it all by them selves. I have confidence in the ] co p!« of Dade or 1 would not have under taken whai I have. All I want is a coiicort of action. T. A. Havron. Editor. *1 ltore art* a gicai many conjectures as to tli -result of the coming l*rosi- Wential election. For they can novel he otherwise than conjectures. The two great political parties of the na tion are too well ballancml, and pub lic tecling and sentiments too fickle to form a correct opinion as to which will he successful. It is tine, tint the leaders selected by the respective con ventions must bo to an extent porten tious of the consequences of each. We regard it as host not to spend onr opin ions unless there arc some solid facts t) base them on; therefore wc will wait ituti 11 after the election before telling which will be the successful party. We are unaldo to say whether there is any more indefinitinesß in life at tin present dnv than in the oast < r not But we ate not inclined to that sick It sentimental doctrine, that the moral world i« ou the decline.

Yni: nee. nut *hiuk you can live and client the world out of what you really are. You can not waste the early days of your life and then at the time you wish, change your course and accomplish the same results for good, had it been otherwise. You may m after days change your manner of thinking and acting to a great extent; and if you will sit down and neither do or attempt to do anything, all will go on smooth ly and the devil will not disturb yaor ease and past li r c. But just attempt to accomplish some laudable end, lot God or your country and see whether or not the world has forgotten your past life. Every evil acton ot your life will be brought against you to destroy your influence. There are men living to-day with a horning desire to do something towards elevating their fellow tnan morally and intellectually, but can scarcely, if at all, turn a wheel in that dirction from the only fact, that their past, lives are not consistent with the psefient. God will forgive and forget your past actions if evil, but when you come to the point where you want the world to do the same, you may expect trouble. Spencer Tknn , June 9. I have concluded to give ycu a few items from here, as a good many of your readers have an interest in this place and some ot its people. Old Burritt College is sacred in the of a good many “Dadeitos”, who in the happy ante belluui days were here. Messrs. J. C. Taylor, VYabli Paris, John Hannah, Bent Cole, Shook Tace and the lamented Dr. W. E. Brock all have records on file here. Just behind the church is the house built by Mr. Henry Smith and just across thE street is one built by Mr W II Hatfield. Yes there is much to remind us of those we knew in our boyhood. This town has improved greatly since the new college was built. We have a magnificent building and a fine piosperous school. I tell you, they make us toe the maik here, We are now looking forward to the exam ination and exhibition which begins on the 9lh ot July and ends on the 11th. A great many attend these ex ercises, and we anticipate a glorious time. And then for the two weeks va cation. 1 tell you we will talk to the girls till their heads and hearts will ache; for we do not get to say a word to them during tiie session. Mr. Editor yon may talk about your cyclones, your earth quakes and ship wrecks, but they do not camnare to a fellow having to look at beautiful young la dies every day for a session, without being allowed to say a word to them; but the old President says we must bide our time. Well, it is a long lane that never turns. Prof. W. 11 Sutton and family arc well and happy. The Prof., lias a good thing heu*. He has made many friends at this place. Ho is a little bine this week, he intended going fish ing last Saturday, hut it rained, so he could not go, and his face is as long as your arm over it. lie says be has been fishing hut once sine leaving Dade, but liis heart osten goes back to Mart Cvabtree and Sitton’s mill.

TO Tine WKEKI.Y TIMES.] Rising Fawn, Junk 21 I feel that justice is calling *hy should such a noble cause as the tem perence he looked on in the manner Rucker does? Yes Rucker what is object? what do yon fix your welfare on? do you have annythiug at your hart that is calculated to save one pore sole from perdition? Why is not one sole as good as a nother, thoug one be a negro and other white. '1 his is proof enough that you Rucker are void of every thing that every good man should have in doing good for his conn try. You say that you are a friend to th* cause; if so, you have Closed be hind the dark clouds when you Ren sure the Rev. C. for helping to organise a lodge for the colored people, and lhose who were wiuh him, whom I am told were some as good citizens as our coun try affords. Then when I read in the next issue of the Dade County Times, and seen in its columns the pciec that should have appeared under Rucker’s peice; and when they are put toge'lier what docs it amount to? is there anny motal worth cncouched in the line.-? Now Mr. Rucker have you a fanny? have you a sister? have you any neic cs? O thou man void of all good feel ing that is calculated, that has tend ency to build up society in votir coun try there is one thing certain, you have a mother, and when you advocate such principal as you have in your ar ticle. O what a broad stroke you mcke with your pen upon the prinei pals tnat sheilds your ancestors that has brought you up in tins life. Now Rucker don’t yog think that you ought to call back your reasoning faculties and study, yes, study well the road that all such advocates aio travelling Could you but see and lies re the ciies of the widdows and orhans that are in this land caused by intemperance; if you ha-1 any conscience I think there would be a knocking at yens heart. But sir, far be it, it was a uiflfereiq message; one tliut God will poie bis blessing bown upon tliis sin splitten w-orld: praiers of the good old mothers and fathers are assending uper wards your degraded principal will be grow ing blacker and blacker till von are sunk beneath the bottomless pitt where all such is bound to go. <) man what manner of man are yon! Had you not better turn your pen and use it foj somo good cause, yes, cause that will he of some help to dense your pore sole ann by so doing you tlnuld see need sesily of the temperance cause. I say to you Rucker that the tempcrencp cause is growing like the little stone that was hewn cut of the side ot the mountain. It is gothering 1 yes, it is gathering, and will gether till it will lill the legislative halls, yes the con gress hall i, for it is written in the holy writ! thatfQ’hen the sons God went up the devil went also: in ibis your cause is fully a representation of divine work that is gathering all over iliis land. It is but a mere span of time when your S oddom and Gomor row will tumble and fall.

Quite a severe wind with a little rain yes terday evening. The corn that is of auy size is blown down so Tufa "that it will be almost impossible to plow it. The wheat shocks are scattered and uncapped, so if it continue* to rain it will damage it considerably. I understand that J F Allison and some others intend to build a school house near the Stephens and Foicster mill. They contemplate building'a good end nice bouse, and painting it, and it will belong to no church, but will be a school house exclusively. Rev. L. N Brock held a two days meeting last week, under a brush arbor, near the Primitive Baptist church house, Mt. Zion. The Missionary Baptist arc preparing to build a church house, some fifty yards east of the Primitive Baj list, but it seems like they are making slow speed at it. Bazil Smith, of (bis place, lias as nice a piece of corn as I have seen this season. Bazil is an energetic vonner man Mr. Henry Smith has his hack in good running older, ami is just waiting and scratching his head for the harder to begin gathering at the Ssriags. Sulphur Springs Ala., is on a boom; it has four store houses, inclu ding family groceries and another one which is being erected. It will be a nice litte town in a few years, if it continues to improve. Miss Fannie Nisbct has been quite sick for sometime but is improving now. Mrs. John Slayton has been Buffering for some time with the tooth-ache, but has as yet to have it pulled. G A It Bible exerted bis muscular s’rength on it, but t lied to move it. The citizens of thi* com unity have organized a debating society at Mt. Zion. Question for last meeting (last Satnrdaynigbt) was: Resolved that it would be ot more interest t> the peo ple ot Dade Co., to send C M Tatum to the Legislature, than Dr. T J Lumpkin; Each man wsi ably defen ded by several of the citizens. The decision being left to the house, l)t. Lumpkin was selected almost t<> a unit. Must all the farmers are <b>ne har vesting wheat, and will soon be ready ,or the thrisher. The nop is moder ately good. Mr. P G Bible lias been u ill health lor some time, but is im proving. Curler. The Senatorial contest in this dis trict. promises to be somewhat warm. There arc several candidates in the field, already, in Walker county. That county under the rotation system, is entitled to the Senator for the next term and, as we learn, it is proposed to hold a county convention there and name the candidate. An incorrect idea seems to prevail to the effect that it is the light of a county not only to claim the Senator but fo dictate to the other counties which one of sever al candidates they shall support. The rotation rule is working very well and theio is no dispositio on the part ol the part of the oilier counties so far as we enow to abrogate it. But. we hold that if the Democratic party of the district is to bo bound by the action of a convention, it is just and proper that all of the counties should be rep resented in it. Of several aspiror.ts in one county the other counties should have the riget to express their prefer ence the whole district should be consulted in making the selection. Concerning the advisability of hold ing a district convention, under the circumstances, there can be no ques tion. It, as a party question, is light and pioper, now, as it lias ever been, for the , aity ol 11 it* di«trict to choi.se its candidate from among the con testing aspirants But, the support ol no county which has not an opportnni ty. at least, to be heard can de consis ‘ently claimed.—[Catoosa Courier. | Rcottsboro Ala., jpil is still well fill ed with felons. There are ton charged with capital offences: eight for murder and two for rape. The citizens are strongly incensed at the number of atrocious crimes committed and aie de termined to put such lawlessness down. One great trouble, when public feel inggs get wroiifTht up to such a height, aud so deeply intent upon avenging those crimes, is, that some poor inno cent personis apt to suffer for tl.e cri me* of a not tier.
