In advocating the holding of a pri
mary election for the puqvoee of elect
ing delegates to the Gubernatorial
Convention, we did not expect under
the aireum stances the advice to be
followed out. We did not no far at
tempt to deceive oumelvee an to be
li» ve we wen' uttering the senti
ment>> of an “overwhelming majority”
of the citueni of this county. About
thia we cared but little. The one
tpiealion with us win to l>e on thr
aide of right. regiudleaH of who ap
proved or disapproved. We do not
pomtrvely assart that the reault, no far
■a the delegates are concerned,
would have lieen different, but
we do believe thia, that such a courxo
would have spared Columbia county
the unpleasant feature of being ad
vertiaed to the world aa unwilling to
give the people a full aud fair ev

In another column will lw found
a communication from Mr. George

We are not prepaivnl to deny one

It certainly has the endorsement of
several of the most reliable and intel

A Case.
In a few weeks the voters of this
county will lx- called upon to decide
at the ballot box whether the sale of
whisky shall be continued. For the
consideration of every voter, we copy
below an article from the Methodist
Advance It presents an argument
stronger than any we can write:
A poor woman died in Charlotte on
liwt Monday, and wits buried on
Tuesday. Two years ago she follow
ed her husband to a drunkard’sgrave.
Already her life had been blighted by
the rum curse, but liar trials did not
end till last Monday. She had two
sons who followed in the footsteps of
their poor, unfortunate father. 'I hey
are slaves to strong drink. As she
lay living, one of these sons entered
tier chamber and stoisl by her bed
side and cursed her for everything
that was bad, fairly exhausting the vo
cabulary of the bar room in impreca
tions upon the head of the mother
that gave him being the mother
, that cured for him in infancy, and
loved him in childhood uh only a
mother can. And she died with the
curses of this frenzied son ringing in
her ears. On the day of her funeral
lie was too drunk even to stagger
along in the little procession that fol
lowed her to the grave.
There was a time when that boy
prattled on that mother’s knee, and
was the joy of her heart The bar
room stole away the reason and the
! heart of his father, and broke the
; heart of his mother.
The bar room stole away the reason
and the manhood of her two sons.
The bar rooms caused the savage
scene that we have just described in
that chamber of death. Who can
i deny it?
The Mass Meeting’.
Huh ( ulumbia I'siibl v Max Fixed hr B;iron.
Ari-i.iNo, Ga., June 3.—Editors
Constitution: I hove attended nearly
<dl the political meetings that have
lieeli held in this county for the hist,
twenty-five years, and have never
seen such action as was taken nt the I
<me on the Ist instant, that elected i
Bacon delegates to the Gubernatorial
: convention. The following notice
was published in our county news
paper for three or four weeks previous
to the meeting, by Mr. JohnQ. Spires,
secretary of the county Democratic
executive committee:
“Democratic meeting"
"The Democratic party of Columbia
county are request™] to meet at Ap
pling on the first Tuesday in June.
•'The executive committee are es- !
pecially requcHted to be present, as
vacancies are to l>e filled and other
business of importance tninsncted.
“J. (). Si-nox Secretary.
The Hiipportera of General Gordon
thought that it was called merely to
elect n new executive committee, they
to organize and elect their chairman
and then the committee would appoint
the time and manner of selecting
delegates to the several conventions.
After the committee was organized
a resolution was offered that the
meeting proceed to elect delegates to
the Gubernatorial and Cot greasional
conventions. The Gorden men op- 1
|s>s<*d this and contended that it oouhl
not be done at that meeting as no
lattice of such action Innl been given.
The Bacon men contended that the
above notice was sutlicient The
Gordon men would have preferred a
primary election, but stated to the
meeting that they were willing to
leave it to a convention duly advertis
ed Mr Spires, who had the notice
of moating published, was called on
to know what the meeting was in
tended for, and he there stated that
it was merely to organize, as before
stated, and said further, that he and
Mr. Luke, another member of the
committee, were all of the committee
ttiat were present when the notice was
given and that as their chairman was
dead (the Hon. R. S. Neal, chairman,
died last year) he 1 uly advertised to
organized Notwithstsliding all this
the Bacon men passed their reaolulion
by a vote of t»0 U> 54. and appointed
delegates instructed for Bacon.
It has been the custom in this
county for the chairman of the exe
cutive committee to call a meeting to
organize mid appoint delegates to the
guliernatorial and congressional con
ventions, but it was always advertised
that th, se delegates would be ap(M>int
•d or elected at the meeting. I had
no idea how the county stood as to
Gordon mid Bacon until tins meeting;
but I now believe that if Gordon
oould have had a fair show he would
have camel it easily. The largest
porticn of men at the meeting was
from that portion of the county
through which th< Georgia Railroad
runs, the other districts of the oountv
being scarcely represented. General

of Messrs. Spires and Luke, the com
mitteemen, and who were both Bacon
men, as our county has been noted
for fair dealing in such matters and
resorted to primary elections whenev
er asked to obtain the voice of she
people. Several of the Bacon party
voted with the Gordon party against
the resolution forcing an election at
that time, and pronounced it an
outrage. I have endeavored to give
a true statement of the proceedings,
and liqpe you will publish it, ns I
believe the people should know it.
and that a large majority will con
demn it.
Yours truly, Gn> V,’. Gray.

party of Columbia county are true.

The Meetiojf ill (ulumbia Dimity
Commenting upon the above the
Constitution says:
The Democratic, citizens of Colum
bia county, regardless of preferences,
ought to bold a mass meeting and
demand that a primary be ordered
for a new election of delegates to the
State Convention. The statement we
printed yesterday, signed by leading
ami responsible citizens of Columbia
county, makes a case against the
Bacon men that is irresistible.
The meeting was called by two
members of the executive committee, |
the secretary and a member. It was :
stated that the object of the meeting
was to elect members of the executive
committee. A small crowd assem
bled in response to this call. The I
Bacon men discovering that they' had ]
the majority, proceeded to elect |
delegates. The Gordon men protest- !
ed against this, claiming that the I
meeting was not called for that pur- !
pose. The secretary of the committee, i
and the member who had called the j
meeting, both stated that the meeting '
was not called for the purpose of
electing delegates, but to elect mem
bers of the executive committee.
This made the ease perfectly plain.
In spite of this, the Bacon men over
rode their objection, and proceeded
with the election of delegates They
were successful by a majority’ of six
votes.
The question involved in this action
goes very much deeper than the
election of either Bacon or Gordon ,
It is a question of party organization.
In at least three counties this week
the Gordon men have been in over
whelming majority in the meetings
called for the purpose of electing an
executive committee or arranging for
the selection of delegates to the State
Gon vention. They might have pro
ceeded to elect delegates with even
more reason than the meeting in
Columbia county. But the Gordon
men adopt no such tactics. They |
adjourned the meetings and ordered
elections for a future day. This was
notably the case in Harris and Greene
counties. In both of these counties .
Gordon delegates might have been
elected without a bobble, but in
neither county was such an outrage ■
contemplated. The Democrats of
Columbia county owe it to themselves,
to the fair name of their county, and
to the Democratic party of the state
to assemble in mass meeting and
demand that a regular call be issued
for the election of delegates. Then
whoever wins the party will be right
ed, and Columbia county will be
vindicated.
