\V e must find one serious fault with
Ur. Felton. He is too much enclined
to anay labor against capital, which
should de promptly set down upon in
the South.
New Orleans has a ‘club on wheels,’
that has just bought an elegant bufTot
car with a demijohn attachment. One
of the rules is that no teetotaler need
apply lor membership,
A great effort will be made by the
Republican patty to capture the
Knights ot Labor organizations and
influence. They have already begun to
warn them not to trust the Democratic
party.
It seems inevitable that the Pana
ma Canal scheme, looking at the proj
ect as tavorable as possible, must
drag on for a far longer period than
has yet been fixed for its completion,
even if over accomplished,
It is calculated that one striker is
more noise in tbs land than ninety
men who are at work, It is evident
that general trade is more hurt by ap
prehension than by the actual extent
and magnitude of strikes. Over 5,000-
DOO laborers have continued to work
against about 40,000 strike! s.
Tennessee, gets $105,000 for 1300
convicts • Goorgia gets $25,000 for
1500 convicts, bosido* the incidental
expenses of keepers, chaplain*, etc., to
come from the $25,000, none of which
is taxed on Tennessee's $105,000.
Dr - Felton calls it an iniquitous sys
tem in our State, and undor tlie facts,
the assertion stands uncontradictory
true.
That people have to be duped seems
an unavoidable necessity. No esti
mation could be placed on the amount
of spurious cake soid at the rate of a
dollar a square inch in Washington
as pieces ot (he President’s wedding
cake. People who bought it belonged
to all circles of society, aud even the
svivos of State officials. The age of
fools has not passed yet.

Maj. Bacon, spoke in Dawson yes
terday. His speech was a masterly
one, and made him many friends.
Qen. Gordon spoke in Pulaski yes
terday, and created much enthusiasm.
The ladies in that county gave him a
grand welcome—Atlanta Capitol.
The above clearly presents tho char
acteristic difference between Maj. Pa
eon and Gen. Gordon enthusiasm.
Feelings are becoming so bitter and
personality, and so ficelj u*ed be
tween the two present candidates for
Governor and their immediate friends,
that a great many are becoming dis
gusted and wishing for a “dark horse."
i|£uch may be possible, yet it would
"moot our protest. It is not light to
force a man upon the party without
Jjis being placed fairly before the peo
ple. We h ave no reason to change
our preference for Maj. Bacon.
Dr. Felton, is credited with say
ing that he will not support Gordon
if he gets the nomination. We do
not think tho Doctor has the least in
tention of inning independent if snch
he the result, as is charged by litany.
In this particular he is far from re
reiving our endorsement. SYe be
lieve the estrangpment of feeling lias
become intense between many of the
respective friends of each candidate,
and that it will be difficult for them to
rote tor tho opposing nominee, but
they are not brave enough to admit
it, or they wi)l be diiven to it by the
party la*li.
Gborcha is a great State and a won
derful people. She is intent on con
ieriirg the highest honors in the gilt
ol tire people upon l»er Confeder
ate military officials—intent upon de
fying them if possible ; but the poor
maimed privatuer is lost to hor grati
tude. For them, her gratitude is 1
only sufficient to grant them the right
to j*eddle without license. If Gen.
Gordon reaches the executive chair
in the present contest, be can alone at
tribute it to his military service,
js'ah a contrast of gratitude shown
between our private soldiers and a i
general, should make every citizen of

A Scent of Mignonette.
Tncae old time letter* bring a I'nee
Of quiet, winsome, saddened grace.
Tied by tho ribbon, faded, old,
Tb-years have turned to leave? of gold.
Kevotilcd within each musty jingo
Is many a sayiug, quail and sage.
And through the packet lingers yet
An odour faint of mignoucttc.
Tho ink is faded, but each line
In characters wc.l rounded, fine,
Still frames a graceful sentiment,
Untouched by all that time has lent.
Ar. I untie the dusty band,
And so« tho trocos of hor band,
It seems I hear tho distant attain’
Uf music in a sweet refrain.
A saddened echo seems to swell,
And bring with it a magic spell :
Unbidden memories, thick and fast,
Come quickly thronging from the past.
A vision stands before me now
With eyes reproachful, and n brow
Of purc.it white, and light golden hair,
And rosebud lips—a picture fair 1
pomure and dimpled little maid,
Time has indeed rare havoc played
With you and me ; those vanished days
Arc stveotly sad in all thoir ways.
“Eheu fugaces I" They have whirled
Togethor with tho rushing world.
But still their memory lingers yet,
As docs this scent of mignouott.

entreaties of thoGon
tlo Sex, Decide
Whiskey i* a Necessity to
llie Growing Populari
ty ot* the tow n, anil
That It Would be Great Influence In
Building up and Advancing the
Interests of our School
Last Monday, the Commissioners ot
tho town of Trenton, mot and
granted the sale ot whiskey till Sept.
Term of court. In justice to one, T.
H, B. Cole, dissented.
It is a fact without testing, that the
majority of tho legal voters ot the
town would be in favor of the sale ot
whiskey. Rut there is a fact that
merits the consideration and unquali
fied respect of every man and legal
voter in town. We mean the protest
of the women against the existence of
an admitted evil, when its existence is
coutioiled by the volition of the legal
voters. By the protest, we mean the
petition circulated by the ftdios of the
town, praying of the Commissioners
iKit uo grant the license for the sale of
whiskey in Trenton. It is not onr
intention to detail in tho least, the
evils of the saloou, nor the use of
damning fire. It is simply to put the
query and bring to our thoughtful con
sideration, “Why it is, that the
weight of woman’s influence is wcakei
and her wish less respected in this
cause then any other she has over yet
enlisted We do not believe i.i
vesting hor with civil authority, oi
control of civil affairs ; but wo are as
fur from acceptimg as right, the tact
of eontcmtonsly disregarding her
prayer and wish in tho refusal to sup
press n vice by those who are vested
with civil authority. Wo do not mean
the representative body, but every one
vested with the franchise. Nothing
more clearly indicates this as being
the giant evil of the day, and man’s
servitude to it, Ilian such an utter
disregard to woman’s prayer for its
suppression. Everyone knows that the
saloon is the greatest evil of the day
and men are afraid of it. but none wi'l
admit it. Women have nothing to
lose in fighting it, tlrercfore, site is
fairer and more proper judge.
AnotT five years ago wcVweio a
resident of AfapaTia A:
there were several bar-rooms here, and
often after night and sometimes far in
to the night the citizens were treated
to land swear jug, shouts of drunken
men and firing of guns and pistols.
In those days a man dreaded to have
to go down town after night, not know
ing the moment he might catch a stray
bullet or become involved m a diffi
cult y with some person under the in
fluence ol whiskey. Very nearly all
this rowdpisin was by people not resi
dents of the town. Since that time
the sale of liquor has been abolished
by law, amJ tiie change lor tbe better
wrought thereby, seems almost mirac
ulous. Now there is no dr lnkenncss,
no rowdyism of any kind, and a per
son can walk through the town at anv
bom of night m perfect safety. More
interest is being taken in icligion, the
education ot the children claims mole
earnest attention and, in fact, and al
most complete revolution for the better
in er<r-'. -• ' '■ > - ft.,. ....

CORRESFONDECE.
From Ili’f*. 11. A. Slovey.
Lower Salem 0., Jun. 8, ’BO.
Ed, Times . —So many events trans
pire to interest us of the North, some
times 1 hardly know what to write
for you.
Since the Republicans have gained
the povvor in our State again, one good
law has been passed in regard to the
whiskey traffic. Every wine and heei
saloon is now taxed SIOO, per year,
and those that sell whiskey, S2OO.
This lias been the cause of a great
many low, vile places shutting up.
Whether it makes much difference in
the amount sold and drank is yet to
he seen ; but it makos a difFeienco in
our taxes. If we cannot bo rid of the
curse, better let it bear its share of
the burden.
Decoration day was observed this
year with more than usual interest,
perhaps because the old soldiers are
falling thick and fast on every side.
The liaidsips of war made old men of
many who should now bo iu tho piime
of life. I will give you a short sketch
of how we spent May 30th and
31st.
On the 30tli, tho Post and Relief
Corps met in their hall and marched
out in a body to the Baptist church,
where a grand memorial sermon was
preached by Rev, A. D. McCormick.
Next morning, the military compa
nies met with the Post alul a squad of
eight detailed from each to visit the
four cemeteries within out jurisdiction,
The citizens of each wero assembled
with loads of flowers, and after the
funeral servic was icad, the children
scattered the flowers, and the military
squad fired the salute. But the
most touching and impressive service
of all, was the tribute to the “unknown
dead.” This service was held in the
afternoon in the town hall, which was
crowded to the utmost capacity. The
Post occupied tho rostrum which was
elegantly trimmed with evergreens and
flowers. Two chairs unoccupied auii
draped in mourning, for the two gone
forever. On the floor in front of the
lost rum, was a cenotaph, nicely sod
ded and trimmed with mosses and
terns, on one side of which was tho
inscription, “to the unknown dead."
A beautiful cross and arch surmount
ed this, and above all floated the
American flag drapped with crepe.
After a funeral march played by the
Cornet Band, the iittle girls under ton
years of age, marched around the
cenotaph singing, “Cover them light
ly oe’r” and at the close of each stan
za laid a bunch of choicest flowers
upon it until it was a mass of beauty
and perfume. An address by tho
minister, a song, and the reading of
• a piece of •poetry, which I send y»u as
embodying the whole sentiment of
Decoration day, the exercises closed,
PUR FALLEN BRAVES,
Long year? have fled sineo Iho buglebl.isj
Called our Nation's son.? to st'ifo ;
And glancing back o’er the haptesr past,
Sad thoughts aro awakened to life,
And I seem to see Uu^asbing^stoel,
The bayonet glilP*f*the run.
Tho boys lopPgay, uiui how jiroud they fed
At. firmly they shoulder each gun.
Soo the stars and stripes above thorn ware,
And bear the sound of tho drum ;
Three cheer* reuouml, we try to look brave,
For our boy. gotdiers have become.
We turn again to our quiet homes,
As wo silently brea'ho a prayer
For those just gone,bow soon tho news comes
—-\ battle fought—wore our boys tboro Z,
Yes, our* and others ns true and
All th.it day wore fighting, to keep
The Union intact as ottr sires gave;
And many sunk in their last sleep.
How many stil! rest in nameless grave*,
Who have long t’.inco passed away ?
The Union blue ol our own doar bravos,
Lies mixod with Confederate gray.
Scatter flowers o'er each lowly bed,
And lovingly cherish ouch mound ;
Ii it. is not ours, ’ti* soico one's dead,
That lies buried beneath the ground ;
So mo one, perhaps, will think of our bonds,
Who are sleeping so far away,
And the North and South clasp hands
OVr thorn on Decoration day.
[Never yet have wo seen anv
iliog touching upon onr "iate uit
i pleasantness” that more favorably
impressed us than tiro above. No
one w!io has the spirit ot “peace amt
good will toward all men," can read
it without experiencing a fueling of
joy and throbbing of the heart that is
found expressed only in the sweetest
and most poetic language. Notice to
whose honor and memory Decoration
d»y i* given ; and for whom tho sen
timent and tribute in the verses is ox-
pressed. It is all foi those who fought
and gave their lives to save the Union.
When we are brought to tiie true
knowledge of the facts, we find that
the “true and the brave,” who fonghl
ami died in the armies of the North
and South, never really understood
each other and the issues that split
the Union in twain, if the North
ern mind could only he brought to
realize that the Southern heart lias al
ways heat with as warm a luvo for
the Union, and as passionate a desire
for its existence as has ever been
found in the most loyal Noil hern
hearts, it would hardly lie possible to
estimate ibe extent of tbe reconcilia
ronof feelings it would effect between
the two great and estranged sections ;
it would give ns the Union as first
forme.l, and the principles upon which
its perpetuation was intended to de
pend —Held together by virtue of an
iiitiiiisic all i act mu——a patiiotie love
tor its existence, the pride of the
American heart, and a deep venera
tion for its framers. But there is a
lu ni ‘y ad 1 wound '-of.
