Nev^sy Notes from Different
Sections of the County.
DOUBLE BRANCHES,
Onr debating club is becoming
more interesting evetsy meeting. The
subject last Saturday: “Resolved,
That cows is of more benefit than
horses.” Mr. W. L. Cloy laid his
platform on the affirmative side oi
the question. D. J. Bivins followed
on the negative, and after some more
\e ry able speeches from both sides,
ami especially the speech of W. T.
Harden, of 'Columbia county, he
sjMjke about an hour, and attacked
M. II. Holloway in such a way that
-Mr. Holloway arose to a point of
personal privilege, and things cooled grew
warm for a while, but was speech
down. W. L. Cloy in his i
conclusion made a very eloqneni
plea, he was followed by Mr. Bivens
who did equally as well. T he clmir
decided in favor of the affirmative
Mr. Holloway insisted that the ques¬
tion be placed on the statute hook so
when read it will read as follow. :
“Be it enacted by the Double
Branches debating club, and it is
hereby enacted by authority, that
the cows are of more benefit to ihe
people than horses from now on, and
all other laws conflicting with this
law be repealed.” After Selecting
a subject for next meeting meeting th. .
adjourned. Subject for next
is, “Resolved, That foreign immigra¬
tion should be admitted to the
south.” Leading disputants are M.
H. Holloway vs. J. D. Brown,
John Cartledge has instituted suit
against J. F. Wells for trespassing.
He «laims that Wells’ hens have b* 3f‘I!
scratching up Ids (Cartledge) cotton
in the cotton patch. II. Miller.
D. J. Bivens vs. E.
Bivens alleges that Miller is the
cause of the crows pecking his water¬
melons.
“Go way back and sit down,' was
the last orders of that devoted old
second hand populist, the Augusta
Tribune, who fought for the Augusta
people so gallantly, and who she said
nad defrauded the country people
out of a member of congress who
was fairly elected, in 1894, I wonder
what she has to suy about it now.
Mr. Fleming says that his defeat was
due to an old grudge that the also people
had against Augusta, he says
cratid that t I JSfSfSmHueo rjjjteAafttifths asserts of the that den,o- there
was more money spent in this election
than ever before. Well, I would like
to know who got it! I cannot here
of any country it. people The who got any
money out of Augusta pa¬
pers say that it was handled freely
lit the polls in that city; if it was
Hardwick’s money he must have
been doing some bad trading—they
say Fleming carried Augusta by
over 1,000 votes—we do not under¬
stand it; surely Fleming did not use
any or he would not have said any¬
thing about it in the been papers. Mr.
Fleming might he said have a little
mad when that, and wanted
to make out like Hardwick bought
we old people’s votes, hut he is badly
mistaken about that, for we just
want to vote so had that we were
willing to cast our vote for accom¬
modation. Yes, we were ordered to
“go way back and sit down,” and
that’s what we did do—we sat down
on them Augusta politicians and
mashed them so badly Unit they
won’t talk about it. Don’t wonder
that they tried to keep the day set
for Hardwick’s nomination hid from
us country heard delegates, tint some few
of us of it in time to be on
hand when the convention assembled
and we enjoyed it very much with
the rest of the Hardwick men; but
the Fleming men in Augusta, like
those up here, feel sore over their de¬
feat, and consequently they did not
fake in the convention, and wiien
you met one of them on the street he
would look like some of his folks
were sick. Well, they are beat at
their own game; they made the
primary machine themselves, and if
it wasn't tor that new fashion ma
chine we would liaye got whipped
again. The convention liked it so
well that they adopted it again, so
now can sorter tell
the result of our next congressional
election. But let me say in conclu¬
sion, that I, for one, am willing to
square off with Augusta, and from
now on with am willing her. to rotate con¬
gressmen We only wanted
to show to Augusta that we country
people, The had Tribune some resentment, they swindled about
us. says
us out of it before, and I believe we
beat them honestly this time; I don’t
believe that Fleming or Hardwick
time. bought any votes in the district tins
So let’s laugh it off and quit
even and all make friends.

intended day for Clarksville. It looks like he
to walk by starting so soon.
Don’t it look that way to you?
I never saw such a change come
over a man as it lias over George

brim to keep off the sun,
R. L. Cade was seen going down

R. E. Smith wanted to go to
Clarksville, but said his trip would

I don’t guess Tom Cade will take
any more pictures at Lisbon, as lie
made a failure on some of the boys.
