If reports are true, the conduct of
a part of the crowd at the joint dis

Maj Bacon, in Augusta, last week,
•was simply disgusting to every fair

The joint discussions between Gen
Gordon and Maj. Bacon ended at

have been avoided if such bud been
the case
Hon. Geo. T. Barnes, our able

a clear light.

The Democratic party of Columbia
county will meet at Appling next

great importance to the people and
every voter should lie present. It

Gubernatorial candidates, Maj. A. 0.
Bwon and Gen. John 15. Gordon,
took place at the Masonic Theatre,
May P.Hh. Mnj. Bacon reiterated bis
position, as stated in my last. Gen.
Gordon stated that he was opposed to ,
placing convicts so as to interfere with i
free labor; was in favor of the Rail
road Commission and said the State
Ilailr iad lease would not expire until
after the next Governor’s term expir
ed and lie did not think that was an
issue of the campaign at nil. Gen.
Gordon spoke first, Maj. Bacon fol
lowed and Gen. Gordon attempted to
close in a fifteen minutes sjieedi,
but tils crowd hissed him down and
yelled so be could not bo heard. —
Gen Gordon waa not (rented fairly in
Augusta. lam for Bacon, and do not
say this to harm him, bat I state
facta The meeting was overwhelm
ingly for Bacon. Both of the gentle
; men left for Lexington. Wednesday
morning.
A Bacon Club was organized here, I
on May 19th. Hon. Claiborne Snead
was elected President, Hon. John L.
Maxwell, Secretary, Hon. W. N. Mer
cier, Treasurer, and about fifteen
I prominent gentlemen of this city,
Vice-Presidents. About one hundred
1 ami sixty of Augusta's solid citizens
have enrolled as members. They nre
enthusiastic and will work the county
for Bacon. Their motto is, “Bacon
first, last and all the time."
The Knights Templar held their
annual conclave here on the 19th. A
grand bull and barbecue was given
i them at the Platz on the 2()tli, and
they were royally entertained by .
their fellow Sir Knights of this city.-
Tbe devotional services nt the First i
Baptist Church, on the night of the
19th, were very impressive. The ■
music was fine mid was furnished by
ths “Harmonic Society," assisted by
some of the finest musical talent in
, the State Your correspondent had
the pleasure of being present The
address was delivered by Hon. John
S Davidson, Grand Master ot the
Miisoiih of Georgia. It was a master
piece, and he was congratulated on nil
sides. •
The General Assembly of the Pres
byterian Church of the South met
here on Thursday, 20th, and will be
in session for ten days. One hundred
and six delegates were present at the
opening and forty arrived on Friday.
Dr. Raymond, the Moderator, deliver
ed the ojiemng sermon. The Con
vention was welcomed by Dr. Adams,
of the Fust Presbyterian Church of
tins city. Some of the ablest divines
in America are in attendance upon
tins Convention. The Woodrow dis
cussion will come up before the body
before adjournment. M. L. Cormanv
photographed the Assembly last Sat
urday morning nt 9 o’clock. Rev. J,
H. Bryson was elected Moderator for
the ensuing year.
The State Democratic Convention
was lost to Augusta by a vote of 12 to
6. Hou. P Walsh, Col. W Daniel, of
this city aud Col Whitehead, of War
ren, favored holding the Convention
here and made strong speeches in fa
vor of so doing, but to no avail. At
lanta will have it as usual. She never
gets enough— not even of baseball.
The river lias taken a notion to
“boom," and as a consequence is
“booming" to its satisfaction, ami at
the same time, is causing a great deal
of loss to the farmers, both on the
South Carolina and the Georgia
aide* To see the river you could
scarcely imagine what an immense
body of water the “Savannah could
show up." Hamburg, S. C., and the
upper part of this city have been sub
merged. Ixxiking from Jacksou
street across the river into Hamburg,
it looks like a sea. The canal ts
overflowing. Several of the factories

water goes down.
The May Queen was produced here

High School: Two prettier Queens
have never been seen than Miss Min

John F. Miller, Queeu of May, and
Miss Brooks, daughter of H. Brooks,
the Queen of flower girls and who Las

Prominent among the bevy of pretty
girls were Miss Lizzie l<ee Burwell,
Tillie Rainey, Kat ie Jacoba, Flors
Anderson, Faroe Gow. Bessie Miller,
Annie l?ee Albertina Brenner. The
' May Queen was again produced at a
a Saturday Matinee by request. The

Mr. Neely and the young ladies

Our base ball club has lost nine
games in succession and the people
arc getting disgusted. We know the
elub is ns good as any in the League
and we cannot get it through our
heads why they do not play. There
are numerous rumors that the club
has been bought off. etc., Harbridge
has been released and rumor has it
that Manager O’Brien is also released
I and Manning is now managing the
team. It is hoped that the club will
now commer.ee to play ball.
The ice cream cuke friend is abroad

when a little, weak eyed, weak lunged
newsboy yells “paper,” it is a great
offence against the peace and order

week. Everybody come that can, and

also delegates are to be appointed to
the Gubernatorial, Congressional and

fairly beaten by Grovetown in the
second base bull match lietween the
two towns, makes a feeble effort to
excuse the defeat by the former by
Attributing it to the “bad condition
of the grounds.” Our Harlem friend
says: * , Tlie diamond aud field are
composed of a freshly cleared new
ground, aud a recently ditched frog
pond.”
All this shows, we think, a lack of
observation and appeciation on the
Eart of our Harlem friend. We have
een accustomed to consider our
ground the first cousin to a macad
amized road, with beautiful shade
frees, and a surrounding belt of grass.
When the ladies attend our matches
they can sit in cool places, ami are
not compelled tc put up parasols as
they sometimes do in Harlem. Still
it is very natural that our Harlem
friend should croak a little, since he
compares our lovely ground to a
"frog pond." But we are generous,
and hope he wont become too much
discouraged. It is quite possible that
the Harlem boys may yet defeat us,
but if they do we think it will be due
not so much to their skill, which we
gladly acknowledge, as to the regu
larity anil loveliness of our ground,
which we are proud to have in the
canter of our town.
