An Enthusiastic Meeting
Congressman W. II. Fleming and
Hon. T. W. Hardwick, the two
(Candidates for congress from this
•district, met in joint debate at this
place Monday. The speaking was
Avoid of any sensational charges by
-either speaker.
Mr. Hardwick was the first to ad¬
dress the large audience that filled
every available foot of the court room,
he was introduced by Dr. W. B.
Crawford, chairman of the county
democratic committee, in a few well
chosen remarks.
Mr. Hardwick advocated the rota¬
tion system, claiming that his county*
Washington, had not had a repre¬
sentative in congress for more than
fiO years, while that honor had been
monopolized by Richmond county
for eighteen years. He criticised
Mr. Fleming’s action in voting
against his party in congressional
ruling and asserted that he was no
leader among the Democrats. His
remarks were received by long and
continued applause and bis friends
were much pleased with the effort he
made on this occasion.
Congressman Fleming followed :n
a speech of one hour and a half.
He reviewed his actions as a con
gressimm and stated that he wanted
the people of the district to be the
w* of w. ™ of
% but adverse# from
nothing chwcism
those who want to get ike if office. He
appealed 11 to the com mo sense of the
people, , saying . , he did ... not own a seat ,
in congress. He denied th ■ charges
as made by his opponent that be bad
no standing or influence with bis
colleagues and to show the falsity of
the accusation lie spoke ol the
different bills that he had been
instrumental in getting through
congress.
Taking his speech as a whole it
was a splendid presentation of his
side of the question, and he was given
an attentive hearing, and was fre¬
quently interrupted bv uproarious
demonstrations of approval during
its deliverance.
The friends of both Mr. Fleming
and Mr, Hardwick are very entlisi
astic in advocating the claims of
their favorite, both sides claiming
that victory will crown their stand¬
ard bearer alter tne battle of the bal¬
lots which will be decided on June
5th.

Ed. Home Journal: Mr. Flem¬
ing in his speech Monday proved
beyond any doubt that he accomplish¬ has during
ed his congressional than career other South¬
really more any
ern congressman. He also very ably
demonstrated why the people should
support his candidacy instead of his
opponent, Mr. Hardwick, but there
is one matter on which he failed to
touch, and which should have great
weight with us, and that was the
effort made by Mr. Hardwick and
liis friends in the last legislature to
kick old Lincoln out of the 10th
district. This is on file in the public
records of the state. This effort was
defeated by our able representative, *
lion. J. B. Hogan, and friends ol
Mr, Fleming. trying throw
Now after to us out
of his district Mr. Hardwick comes
and asks us to support doing his candidacy dis
for congress, and in so
plays great cheek.
Hon. Jno. T. West says that the
district would make a big mistake to
retire Mr. Fleming now. That he
is one of our ablest congressmen and
during hot times in the past he al
wavs found Air. Fleming conservative
and was never abusive to the peoples
party and condemned any action of
his Democratic friends that was
abusive or discourteous to people of
that party. Respectfully,
i°. L. Wilkes.

A Card.
Editor Journal: Will you give
me space in your paper, that J may
give Bill mv Fleming reason as to why I shall vote
for in the coining pri¬
mary, and why I, an humble citizen
of my county, think that Bill Flem¬
ing should be returned to the next
congress? Now Mr. Editor in the
outset. I wish to say that. I, as a voter
of my district, (the tenth), have no
more rights or privileges granted me
in the coming election than the
humblest of voters, or have I any
right to think harsh of any So man that
may vote for Hardwick. far as I
know, Mr. Hardwick is a clever,
deserves honest, brainy, brilliant man and
much at the hands of his
fellow man.
I believe we should encourage our
rising young men in every way ipos
sible that they might scale the
of bune to tlie topmost rou nd, blit
L
older ones that have stood by the old
ship of State when the flames were
seemingly about.to wiec.iv her, or do
f think that virlure and honestv
sllou]d be pr . lise( i more in one th:in
the other young or old. Again, 1
believe in rotation, I believe the
framers of our constitution were wise
possibly get we^ffl
some one in office clirtv
and low and there would be no way
to gc c rid of such—therefore rota tion
in office, therefore it seems to me to
be a part of wisdom that when we
get one into office who is clean, hon¬
est and manly without the fear of
punishment or hope of reward, who
under tire of the enemies gun prov¬
ed strong and courageous, never
faltering or failing, that has been
the record of Bill Fleming for the
last five years. If this be untrue
why wait till this late day to preach
H from the house top? Why did
not. Bro. Hardwick, as Sentinel give
a blast on his bugle ere th is? Looks
to me that it conies with little grace
to wait the end of the y ,i ar to chas¬
tise or abuse a servant, why not call
him to account at the time, that’s
the i tile of all business men in all
a\oo;Uions of Me, We farmers, if
we could get a servant that was true,
' le ' er giving us room for complaint
to i six Jong years of service learning
our rules of business growing in
favor year after year, how natural it
would be for us to want to hold on
to him for another term, or how
would it sound and how it would
hurt to hear, instead of well done,
good and faithful servant, thou non
ety depart in disgrace. Oh, then,
wouldn’t it be funny for the servant
to turn on the master with his rec
ord all marked failure! failure!!
Then I think there would be der¬
isive laughter on the democratic side.
\Vby, Mr. Editor, we o'"the tenth
(so far as I know) thought we had a
model Congressman until that star
of the south rose and told the good
people that that little star close by
• be moon had a darn poor way of
showing that it; was so many times
bigger than the moon. Mr. Editor,
1 just couldn’t help thinking that
did fit Bro. Hardwick so well
nice (dam poor way of showing
that he was the brighter.)
Fleming’s legislative career in our
stands as a beacon light, u:id of
we know, and it would be fol-
ly and a waste of time and space
from you for me to call to mind or
write, even our school girls and boys
know Bill Fleming,, because lie, with
others, made it possible for even the
poorest to receive some educational
advantages. llie Savannah
We farmers along
know that Fleming’s efforts in con¬
gress to have more money given us
for clearing the river for boats has
been of great and lasting benefit,
competing against the railroad
freights that are ready and willing
to sap life’s precious cord.
with a great many other reasons that
I could call to mind if space would
admit, are among many reasons that
shall and will cause me to cast my
humble vote for William H. Flem¬
ing, the gentleman from Richmond.
