Wo present elsewhere a communica tion from a thorough Democrat which c 'iitains some wise suggestions, and which should cause sober reflection fr >m the people. The State Executive Com mittee has designated the 2d day oi AtCjust as a time fur the assembling of a c invention to nominate a standard bearer on the Democratic ticket for tho gubernatorial race. Primary meetings must be held and delegates selected to lepresent Gordon in the Convention.— If those upon whom this duty devolves issue no call, let the poo lo appoint a ti ne and assemble at the different pre cincts and vote for the men of their choice. There may be no fear of rings now existing, but the friends of each aspirant will weak zealously for his choice, and by manipulation the will of the people is of ten easily defeated. Af\ terthe people have sleptovcrtheir rights there is no time then to cry out against combinations and rings. A mau who might not control a corporal’s guard of votes could through his friends pre pare n slate which would carry the del* egation solid under his banner. To de feat all such possibilities let the people act, which is the only sure way. The national campaign which we are now entering is fraught with imminent .and gigantic issues which are to decide the destiny of this republic for four years, and it may be longer, and no Democrat true to the principles of his party can refuse to give his labors for a victory over the corrupt usurpations of the people’s will, and in all local and .State matters, his support and wise and deliberate action is as much in demand, eor the accomplishment of the end that through unity may bo reached to the of our political desires the Times will endeavor to be a fearless and faithful co-laborer with the living Democracy, to the end ol the struggle, maintaining what it believes to be the wise and judicious pdicy for the good •of our country, and the general welfare •of the people. the ioveryoksiiip. If, in the continued speculation of the Slate press and a full and free dis oussiou of the chances of this candi date a'-d then the other for the above place of executive honor to be filled du r ng the coming politi ;al campaign one fails to conjecture wjtli any degree of certainty who will be chosen as the stan dard bearer < f the Democracy lie lias only to wait and see who the delegates to assemble in convention on the 2d of August wil' place upon the track. In these extended discussions wo fear some, suddenly seized with too much, euthusi asm, have descended to the use of per., •oualities. and said unwise things which may disturb the unity necessary to a prudent choice. The Times recognizes the fact that the people ought to de ei le the ijualities which best befit a man fur the administration of our af fairs, and no matter how fervent the de sire for the nomination of any certuii ono, would with a zealous will support the choice of the convcnti n. \ ehe money amounting to abuse will do no good, but mildness in discussions ui’*e no fear because of corrupt opposing el ements. (Jen. A. 11. Colquitt possesses a strength which we believe will make him the nominee early in the light, lie is a man whose integrity none can chub i mge, the friend of all classes alike, aid the man whom the people wogld delight to honor for his virtues and the purity ni his r:cord ; and while come deliberately to the front with him as our choice, we cheei fully accord to other distinguished gentlemen whose i; tends have thought it wisdom to ad vocate many of the excellencies which should eiitiile them to f v >ruble coi.s’d eration.

Editor Times :—Now that the time Cor holding tho State Convention ty nominate a candidate for Governor is fix ed foi the 2d day of August by the Executive Committee, woul 1 it not be well for the people to begin to deliberate as to how is tho best, or what will bo the least objectionable method of elect ing delegates to said convention. Our county is entitled to two delegates, and cannot tho people of Gordon with a degree of harmony, if not absolute una nimity, elect two men, with whose ac* Lion in tho convention they would be sat isfied '{ We know Hie deplorable lack of interest heretofore manifested on the part of the good people of this oouoty in conventions—the election of dele gates, and the consequent deph ruble dif ferences and dissatisfaction springing therefrom, but all this may be obviated and malcontents silenced, if the people will turn out to their respective pro cincts on some day desi n ed and vote for two wen whom they can trust —per* milting the votes of said precincts tube counted and cons diduted, and the two receiving the highest number of votes to be the delegates, and the two receiv ing the next highest votes to act as al ternats I know it is the duty of the 0< unty Executive Committee to desig nate the mann r, time and place oi'eFc • ting delegates; and while I hope they will do so, their remissness of duty in the past, is the excuse l make in palli ation fur offending,if tueh these sugges tions bo regarded. They are not made with such intentions; but only with an honest,sincere desire to promote harmo ny and concert of’action among a peo ple who ought to be united. 'lbis is the head and front of uur offending You Mr. Editor, control the most po tent origin - -in framing, giving sh t e to and leading public sentiment or opin ion, then lot us come out on these questions and end a'or to keep down trout e foxmcnMng discussions and let us strive to promote an era of good will, harmony, absolute unity and con cert of action amongst the people of Gor don. More Anon. The Local Press. That the printing press moves the world in a higher sen-e and more posia tive manner than Archimides ever con tcmplated with his love”, is absolutely true. Christendom and Death end m alike depend upon pres nt and futuie aid of types and ink to save a-M be saved. Empires and republics, states and principalities, cities, villages, and rural districts, in all their interests, look to the metropolitan and local press for internal force to move forward. The country newspaper iu all that pertains to the progress of a people, keeps more Ihaa even pace with its city cotempo rary Its influence, if it be fur good, is felt ail through the community.— Many take no other paper, and their in formation is gained and opinions formed entirely from their town journal. As the chronicler of passing events —the record of county affairs, town occur rences, home trade, the business direc tory and encyclopedic of general knowl edge on ail subjects—it is invaluable to the intelligent citizen, and goes far tu give direction to public opinion and public action. How else, tlu-n, can the editor’s position be other than a re st onsible one? lie talks, not verbally, to thousands of people every week, but puts his words in print, so that his au ditors can make no mistake in his lan guage or assertions; therefore is it not true that he who thus informs and instructs the people, shuuld be careful how he performs the duties of his great mission? Ho holds in his hands the power of good or evil, and let him see to it that he upholds the char actor, dignity, veracity and usefulness of the Dress, for long after he lias gone to his reward, his words, his thoughts, his teachings will live after him —Printing Office Visitor. It is said that a young merchnt, liv ing a short distance from Canton, start ed to Atlanta a few days ago to buy goods. Uo stopped at a spring on the road and there n et a married lady who had been his sweetheart in years gone by. lie asked her fur a kiss, which, he says, she granted—he kissed her. any way The husband of the lady was in a field nearby, and saw the whole transaction, lie said nothing about it, however, to either of the parties hut wont to a jus tice and sued out a wan ant against tho young man fur assau’t. In due time the young man came back on his way home in blissful ignorance of tho troub le that awaited him. The husband let him pass a mile or two and then bailiff and a posse of five men, overtook a’d urrc3t the offender. He was taken a justice, and by paying fourteen dollars get out of the scrape.

WITH ATTACHMENTS For All Kinds of Work.' is fast winning favor in the household, as shown by the rapidly increasing sales. 4 his New Family Mticliiiio is capa ble of a range and variety of work such as was once thought impossible to perform by maoliincr/. We claim and can show that it is the cheapest, most beautiful, delicately arranged, nicely Adjusted, easily operated, * and smoothly running of all the family sewing machines. It is remarkable, nut only for the range and variety of its sew ing, but also for the variety and different kinds of texture wbicn it will sew with cqm*l facility and perfection, using silk twist, linen, or cotton thread, fine or coarse, making the inter elastic lock stitch, alike on both sides of the fabric sewn. Thus, beaver cloth, or leather, may be sewn with great strength and uniformity of stitch , and, in a moment, this willing and never wearying instrument may be adjusted for fine work on gauze or gossamer tissue, or Die lucking of tarlatan, or ruffling, or al most any other work which delicate fingers have bean known to perform. Ours having long been t he popular and ' practical machines for manufacturing pur poses, some dealers, using •• the tricks of trade,” take advantage of iliis in trying to • persuade purchasers that our Family Mn chine is not equal, for family sewing to our Manufacturing Machines for manufacturing purposes. But. purchasers—and they are apt to examine carefully before choosing have not been merely persuaded, but con vinced that our new family machine cnibod- - ies new and essential principles—simplicity of construction; ease of operation; uni formity of precise action at any speed; ca pacity for range and variety of work, fine or coarse-leaving all rivals behind it. Sewing Machine Sales 0f1874.- The table of sewing machine sales for 1874 show that our sales for that year amounted to 211,597 machines, b'ing a large increase over the sales of th ■ previ ous year.
