DADE COOSTT WEEKLY JiEWS. ■'■l”!." 1 . " . i i Entered at the Postoffice as .Sec ond Class Matter. BEN. T. BROCK, : Senior Editor. ED. C. GRISCOIVI, : Junior Editor. TRENTON, GA., JUNE 8, 1888. ANNOUNCEMENTS. Senator. WE are authorized to announce T, J. LUMPKIN of Trenton, as a candidate for the next Senatorial race. WE are authorized to announce W. J. TAYLOR, of Cloverdale, as a candidate for the next Senatorial race. I am a candidate to represent the 44th Senatorial District, subject to the decision of the voters of Dade, at the grimary election ordered on the 2d aturday in July. J. C. Nisbett. Representatiue. WE are authorized to announco G. W. M. TATUM, of Trenton, as a candidate for Repre sentative the next election. W T E are authorized to announce T.J. KILPATRICK, of Cole City, as a candidate for Rep resentative the next election Sheriff. WE are authorized to announce J. T. WOOLBRIGHT, of Trenton, as a candidate for Sheiff the next election. WE are authorized to announce W. A. BYRD, of Trenton, as a candidate for re-elec tion as Sheriff. The fight has ended. The stnoke cleared away; and gentle peace reigns supreme in every breast where discord and dissatis faction were the predominating passions. The primary is not to be. The field is clear for any man in Dade who desires to run; and Dade, Walker and Catoosa are one har monious sisterhood of the 44th Senatorial district. We sincerely hope the time may soon come,when those who balloted to retain the primary as first order ed, may realize the disadvantages it would havo been to us to have contested our imaginary right with Walker and Catoosa. By recinding the primary we still retain all the advantages which put us on an equality with our sister counties assured to us by the system of rotation, which se cures us all the rights a just peo ple should require. May the blame never be cast , upon Dade of being tlio first to break aoompact. gotten up in har mony, and characterized by fair ness and justice. Surely, there is not a Democrat in Dade who for an instant could harbor a mo tive other than a perpetuation of the rotation system. Under the system agreed upon the three counties stand in the same relation to each other, and each are entitled to certain rights which should be untrammeled by the others. Dade has never claimed the right to dictate to Walker and Ca toosa the man lor whom they should vote, even when it was her time to furnish a candidate for the senate. I* rom the information our execu- ! tive committee had gathered they supposed it the wish of Waiker and Catoosa that Dade should name her candidate and that he would receive the support and en dorsement of the two other coun ties. It was the desire to comply with the wishes of the voters of our sister counties which prompted our committee in making a call for a primary. From certain vigorous demonstrations our committee learned that instead of meriting the approval of Walker and Ca toosa they had incurred their in dignation. Then, is it an unwise act of the committee in revoking the call for a primary election? We gay no from the depth of a heart as full of county pride as the most patriotic. Ra ther let it be said of Dade that she could correct a wrong where there was an injury than let -Hindi a wrong go without correction In the words of Chairman Evens, it was an error of the head and ‘‘not of the heart. CLEVELAND AND TV i. ~;MA The St. Louis convention has u . ■ journed. Cleveland and Thurman is the ticket put out by the national convention of our party- There is no dissatisfaction in Dem-. ocratic ranks relative to the re spective candidates, although be fore the convention we may have had our preferences for vice presi dent. With such a ticket which won four years ago, and with a record behind the pride of every true democrat, well may we hope tow ; r in the coming campaign. The platform which we are called upon to endorse, does not fully set forth the true principles of demo cracy as instilled into the fibres of our party, yet it is all the most sanguine could hope for under the existing circumstances. By a special resolution the Mills bill was endorsed by the conven tion, yet it was policy in not mak ing it a plank in the platform. Henry Watterson, the great tariff reformer, had the honor to report the resolution from the committee on platform. Although the Democratic protec tionists’ stomach is not in a condi tion to digest too much tarifi re from. we may give them an occa sional broken dose, as they are fit ted to retain it. Grover Cleveland has the honor of fighting on a platform of his own making several months before a convention had adopted its spir it. Morality is the theme the older people discuss on the streets dur ring the day, and from the man ner they heap it on the young peo ple their experience in immoral ity has been vast. While there are many expressions that fall from the lips of the young that are not of the highest moral standard, it is not to be supposed their per ception of morality are any the less dull. Moralizing 'in words is very common; some say morality proceeds from cultivation. Byron was a cultivated man and a great moralist, yet Byron was an im moral man, anu so are nine-tenths of the great-minds who have un dertaken to moralize the world. Before some of the old people. \ > we have the greatest respects for their gray hairs and opinions) belate the young people, for th» immorality of their actions, Tl would be well for them to stop and and think, liow many times the young people have tried to them interested in literary pur suits; how many times they have tried to establish a small library of books from the purest and most intellectual minds of the age. Did they interest themselves in their tastes and desires? We answer in their behalf, No ! So if some of the young are indifferent to such things, nine times out of ten, it is attributable to some of the people, whose “hobby” is “tis nothing hut a courting machine, and place of pleasure.” God, pity the iutellecu ality of any person, who is so obtuse as to barr his-children from social converse. It is a means of bring ing alxmt morality and not immor ality. Little Catoosa flaps her wings! and gives a spur at the Dade pri mary. There is an increase in real es tate at Marietta of over $(>0,900 in the last year. The Camilla Clarion estimated the melon crop of Mitchel county this season at $40,000. Mr. J. W. Blevins is a candidate tor Representative. He combines all the requirements necessary to fill the office with honor to our county. Fred Fowler and Will Ferguson, two suspected counterfeiters, have berm arrested at Chattanooga. I! is said that a large amount of counterfeit coin and .liver certifi cates is in circulation in that city, ■ ■ nrw- Mr. J. B. McCollum’s announce ment for State Swi a f e wid appoii in next issue. Mr. MeCotlum needs no commendation at our lv:n Is. Asa firm and high l y ■■m 'ct 1 cit izen of our courdv he com \s e:> to all the reqire* i •n. t- s.-arr to lit him for the office he seeks. -v i liam Piiaher, one of Sumter’s rive at home farmers, is threshing .'lis wheat, and expects to make about 150 bushels from twenty acres. Ho would have made more, but the rust struck it and cut o,; the yield. Giles Shoot, of Calhoun c f > ?n 4 /, has a steer 23 years old, with which he has made 19 crops and is now under good headway with the twentieth. During all this time the steer has been Mr. Shoot’s only plow animal. The first car of melons of the season reached Albany Saturday night. It was hilled from Pember ton’s Ferry, Fla., to a commission house in Atlanta. This is earlier, by nearly two weeks, than the first car of last season, which passed Albany on June 8. There were 121 new post-offices established in the State of Georgia in 1886. Only three States in the Union report a greater number— Virginia 197, North Carolina 193, Texas 147. This increase in the number of post-offices is suggestive. It means growth in everything— people, inteligence and business. James M. Edward, of Catoosa, has planted this season twenty bar rels of Irish potatoes on seven acres of land, and expects to raise 1000 bushels of potatoes. He once raised 335 bushels to the acre. The seven acres now in potatoes, he will plant in corn, and thereby get two big crops off of the same piece of land. The melon season of 1888 prom ises to prove unnsually active. The acreage is increased over that of last season, and the number of markets is annually growing. There are fully 4,000 acres in Mitchell, Dougerty and Lee coun ties, from which there will be 1,000 cars of the luscious fruit, laden with the sweets of the Southland shipped to Northern and Western markets. As the average carload 2/ a melons, that will make j i watermelons, which just three Georgia counties will „ tribute to the pleasures of a Northern summer. The weather jrop bulletin issued by the signal office says: The wea ther through the week ha- J. a generally favotable for all cm a ia the states of the Mississippi. Ohio and Missouri conditions have doubtless im proved, although in the extreme northern states the temperature has been too low for rapid growth. Portions of Michigan report too much rain for corn, and some dam age from hail is reported from Kansas. The season is well ad vanced in Tennessee and Soul li Carolina, where harvesting should be in proggess. The weather con ditions have particularly favored the crops in the latter. In the states on the Atlantic coast exces sive rains and almost total cloud iness have not been favorable for rapid growth, and have delayed planting in some localities. The Valley Eagle, published at Trenton, (ia., has changed hands. Mr. John 11. Hancock goes out and Messrs. Ben T. Brock and Ed 0. Giiseom take charge. The first copy under the new management is on ourdesk. It is neat, news}’, and full of life. We know Mr, Griseom personally; he has had considerable j experience in the newspaper line ! and lias good talent in that direc tion.—Sequatchee Herald. Georgia, Dade County. To all Whom it may Concern : Josiah Gass, attorney in fact for George H. Gass, the duly appoint ed guardian of his minor children, residing in the State of Texas, has in due form applied to the under signed for leave to sell the lands belonging to said minors in Dade county, and said application will be heard on the first Monday in July next.
