A PARALLEL CASE.
The Atlanta Constitution’s ac
counts of the utter annihilation of
Mr. Norwood and the speakers sup
porting him by Gov. Colquitt and
his campaign canvassers, remind us
of Smith’s description of his victory
over Jones in a fist and skull fight at
the Jug Tavern cross-roads.
Smith, to do him justice, told the
story of his triumph with a modest
reluctace which did him ihfiihite
credit. In reply to an urgent ques
tion as to the real facts of the fight
Smith said ;
“Well, it happened just about this
way. You see I wanted Jones to
exhaust his strength, so I let him hit
me a devil of a , lick in the left eye.
That seemed to weaken him consid
erably, and then I executed a piece
of artful strategy. 1 led him cn until
he tangled one of his legs Between
mine, while I kept one of his
arms twisted around my neck, and
then I lay down on my Back and
compelled Jones to come down on
top of me with a heavy thud that
jostled him considerably, Ti en I
ingeniously led liim to exhaust him
self by hitting me several licks in the
mouth, and then by a brilliant move
ment that heat Napoleon .ail hollow I
inserted both of my wr ste through
Jones’ har.il, and in another moment
I stuck my nose bet". ;en his teeth
aud then I had him! By George,
boys, I had Jones then where he
couldn’t move a peg. I did, pon
honor. Then we were separated,
and I never saw a fellow as much
exhausted as Jones was. And J. felt
somewhat fatigued myself.”
The Cclqnitt speakers arc wiyiung
just such victories as Smith was ’.'rag
ging over, ColumiM Enquirer;
| When senator Norwood made his
; speecli at Emory college, Gov. Col
: quilt was on the platforfn, warmly
: congratulated him and complimented
j the address. Now that Gov. Colquitt
I dishes the ballots of negroes, 4 he
j quotes passages of the speecli he
j praised so highly, to prejudice the
I colored people against Norwood
| Such conduct is generally thought
unbecoming in a demagogue, but how
should it be regarded when a cliris
' tian statesman adopts such a course
of. action ?—Enquirer-Sun.

Atlanta, September 7. —The Re
publican State convention was in
executive session all day,-trying to
determine wbat policy it*should pur
sue in the present campaign. An ef
fort to endorse Norwood for governor
! was overwhelmingly defeated, and a
resolution passed declaring it inexpe
dient to nominate a governor or other
officers. The sentiment is strongly
in favor of Colquitt,

The dose is too large for us to
swallow just now. We cannot stand
it any long t. We certainly muff
run.the race.for something, and as
we have never had the honor of hold
ing any office we now come out as an
independent candidate, fearing the
influence of no one ; but to be sure
ar.out it, it is for a better half. Ha,
ha, ha! what a! feeling it Produces
just to be a candidate!!
* We are glad to note the interest
our people are taking in the culture
of upland rice. It is fast becoming
a paying product, yielding a hand
some profit. A rice machine would
pay well in this county, and. Pearson
would be a splended place to locate it.
It is our presumption that the vision
of some of cur candidates are pretty
sumbre, and before the election is
over, there will be a grand prome
nade among them.
It was Saturday night. Not many
weeks past, was told ye reporter by
