CALIIOUN times logal news. T. 0- Milneh has returned from the Centennial. Farmers are putting in a [good crop of small grain, we learn. We were pleased to meet Mr. llan bury of the Daltou Enterprise, Wednes day in Calhoun. lie was attending the mass meeting. If this issue does not reach its read* ers as soon as it ought to, and contaius less than its usual quota of reading, the same is attributable to the fact that a future editor at our house has divided our time with office affairs for the last lew days. The tinted leaves of autumn are cov ering the earth in the forest, there to mould and decay while the frosty morn ings and the chill breezes which make one enjoy the comforts of a blazing fire each goto remind us that the ad' tent of winter is very near. llow thank ful ought they to feel who bear not the desolating pangs of want and have piled around their hearthstones the necessi ties&nd comforts of life. The summer has been a hard one, and the winter will come on finding many struggling against adversities and gaining by the strongest efforts but a poor share of these comforts, and reader.there may be those near your door whose sufferings will ap peal to yourjsympathies for aid. Such turn not awav empty but heed the com mand of the Master, for He hassaid, “He that giveth to the poor lendeth to tf'.ie Lord.” A Card Irom C!ol. Jol&n W. Wof ford. Cartersville, Ga., Oct. 22, 1876. Editor Times: Dr. Felton and his supporters seem do think his election dependent upon -the downfall of their opponents. Where I have crossed their tracks in (the upper counties of the district I find ■this tale put iu circulation : '‘John VV. Wofford was nominated Elector for the State at Large, by mistake. The mem ibirs of the thought they were nominating Uetfl. William Tatum Wofford.” I will tell the facts and then let those who feel an interest in the ques tion say how it is. The tru h is, this is all p-etense. — wGen’l. William T. Wofford’s identity was as well known to the people of the State as that ofany man in it. He was Alternate Elector on the Seymour ticket an 1868,was Elector on the Greely tick et in 1872. was nominated for the Unit ed States Senate in 1868 by the Demo* *crats uf the Buliuok Legislature and re. fused to run against Gov. Brown who Avas the Republican candidate; had run a gait s •Young twice for Congress n the 7th. District, and agaiust Smith for Governor iu 1872. And to the fore going can be added, that when the Convention of the 7th District assembled iu Cartersville on May last fur the pur pose of sending delegates to the State Convention,Mr. John 0. Ayecockol the Bartow delegation announced the name .of Gen’l. William T. Wofford as a com. petitor with me fur the place; when ithe v ites were counted l reci veu 27 and 'Ceneial William T. Woftoid 2. This *Conven‘ioti was held in the county where we both live, abd where a ques tion of identity could, not well arise. In the State Convention my name was anounced as a candidate for elector bv Mr. McKibben of the county of Butts. Col. D. Waddell who ‘was Secretary of the Convention and who’s duty tt was to enter on he record the name (>f each candidate as it was announced, not understanding which it wis, asked from the Clerk’s desk which one was meant. Capt. Thomas J. Ly on, a member of the Bartow delegation, arose and said, in a distinct voice, “ It is John $. Wofford, and not Gen. Wm. T. Wofford. The ballot proceeded, and ! i was elected. It docs appear to me that this plain .statement of facts ought to put at re3t this silty story but I have no idea thut at will. John W. Wofford. Communicated. TO THE FARMKKS OF GOII DON COUNTY. Hurrah! for Our Farmer Con- Felton. He does not belong to the legal La dernity, therefoie they fight him. Did you ever notice the crowd who abuse and slander him ? If you did, you will find every lawyer north of the Chattuhoo. chec, with a few exception, (to their honor be it said) is fighting him with all manner of lies *nd vi!lficiation. Why is this? Let me tell you. We broke the back bone of that ring two years ago, with our farmer, and they in tend to crush him by all the cunning de wic s known to them. Afier the war,a set of cunning politicians got into power when honest men's hands were tied. They have made fortunes by it, and they don’t want a man in office icho is too honest to be bought,t oo honorable to be tribed, too independent to truckle and bend to party tricks. He is in their icay He docs not agree to lead the hard working sons of toil by •he nose, up to the polls—and then kick them back to the plow handles and say, ‘ you are only fit to pay the taxes' * He stands by the fanner, the producer. He kuows their difficulties—he knows the oppression of unjust legislation. Dr. Felton is a .farmer. This cry of Radical is only a ■bug-a-too to scare you off the track. Look arouud you and tell me if Dab* neyites have any claim to simon pure democracy? Farmers of Gordon —we are going to run the Congress machine a little. Let them cry Radical ,and then ■affiliate with Shears and Goodwin. — Let them cry disorganizer and yet start! confessed to the world as the greatest fet of disorganizes known to Georgia. Ihe corruption disorganized them and they knowjt. We will stand by our .farmer —Blue Jeans carried Indiana, tu d our farmer shall lead us. Countryman. PROGRESS OF THE CAMPAIGN. Old Gordon Wheels into Litife.- The Speaking and Barbecue Wednesday Young and Foster on the Slump. The People Aroused for the November Struggle. As last Wednesday’s sun bestrode her wonted path the streets of Calhoun were being filled with Gordon’s sturdy sons, who had laid aside their busy toils at home to join in the country’s effort tor liberation from the despoiler’s clutches and the oppressor’s iron heel. The earth had necome baked for the need of nature’s grand agency, and the welconu rain came to moisten the soil for plowing in small grain hut a while before the day this demonstration was to be held ; yet when misrule was to be checked, and equal rights secured to all throughout this broad land by the success of the gland old Democracy, the hearts of Democrats burned with patriotism, and knew no sacrifice too great for the occasion. The crowd gathered at the Court House, and we have not seen the day when her hon ored walls smiled upon so vast a politi cal gathering, and one which so well represented the patriotism and intelli" gence of our proud old county. Gen. P. M. B. Yonng was the first orator introduced. Many Gray-haired sires gathered near the stand to hear ttte truth as it flowed from the lips of this noble son of Georgia, and many of the crowd showed interest by gathering close around the railing, while the benches in the rear held a weighty share of the eager throng, whose tem pers woukl escape their bounds and with accordant voices give the occasional command of‘‘Down in front.” Gen. Yonng, in substance said : Friends and Fellow- Citizens : I am before you upon a few hours no tice and congratulate myself that I am able to meet you and discuss the ques. tions before us in the coming elections. I aui glad to meet so many of my fellovr ci izens of Gordon county. All ought to be here to>day. They should hear all sides before coming to final judgment. I am not here, my friends, to subserve any interest of my owl or any individ aul upon the face o f the earth, but in in the interest ol the party which se cures y< ur lights and liberties. I come also to tell of maladministration and mis government, which if you do not feel in because you have a few good men at home who guard with honest wisdom your local rights and interests. The first convention which nominated Giant for President promised you peace and press perity, and they have sinec with insult again and again flung those promises unredeemed into your face. Grant him* sell said, “Let us have peace.” Have you had peace 'l Go to Louisiana and ask your brothers there what kind of peace they have had. This administra trution sent the bayonet there to con trol her elections and thr< ttle the peo pie's will, and when a legislature had been elected under the statutes made by negroes and scalawags, and whin found Deuioc a tic, Phil Sheridan woo happened there notified the Secnttry of War that there was no safety for life and property in that State, and upon this he was immediate ly put in command. When it was found necessary to throw out a certain number of’votes to make a Republican majority, his soldiers marched in and violently took possesion of the persons of five members and ejected them at the point of the bayonet. That is the peace Louisiana got, and lie who goes to the polls and votes the Republican ticket endorses this sovereign out ~gc upon the people of Louisiana. The speaker then referred to the condition of South Carolina. Low many are here, said he, whose kindred lie buried upon the soils of that poor old State ? It was once an honor as great almost as that of being a member of Com gress to belong to the Legislature of tiiat State, but now a miserable set of scalawags sit within its walls; and troeps had at last been sent there to keep the people under subjection, and from casting a respectable ballot. That is the peace of South Carolina. The present party is not a party of peace but a party of war. Napoleon once said ihere was peace in France, but it was when the iron hoof of his squad - rons ramr upon every pavement and every road. Here the speaker void his hearers how Grant, counseled by bad adviseis, had brought disgiace upon the country, and detailed the mis-rable facts in the Belknap case,; nd the wliis* ky frauds, which had defrauded the government of one hundred million dollars, There is only one party you can belong to, said he, in this struggle You have either got to stand by the par ty of reform, or by this party of rot tenness and corraption. The cannon’s muzzle now stands ready to open upon your fellow-citizens in South Carolina because they are to vote for '.Fade Hampton for Governor. Are you ready to help them ? How can you hlep them ? You can only help them by stand ing by the only organization which has promised good to the country. Gen. Young next addressed his vast audience upon the questions ol disor ganization at home, and dwelt pleadingly upon the great issues involved in the casting of their ballots.. He expressed his feelings at reaching home bouyed up with hopes lor lilden alter a sojourn in the North only to find his fellow-citizens split iu twain, wnile their enemies at the North were in one solid column against them. Baid he, what care I for men when considering the good of my party ? Col. Dabney is the nominee of the party. We are crossing the stream and it is no time to swap horses. Why was Col. Dabney not fairly nominated t and what is the rea son you can not support him ? [A voice : We’ll all do it—all the Democrats will ] Why do the Republicans support Dr. Felton ? Ido not know wha promises be ha 9 made. But they can t eect one of their own party, and they do the next best thing—support the independ ent candidate who is i.i opposition to the Democratic party. Democrats, I admouish you to vote for true and tried men of your party —Tilden, Hendricks, and Dabney, and you will yet one day realize that you live in a country not bound by rivers and hills, but cemented by the affections of the people. Gen. Young took his seat amid the applause of the crowd, and Col. Geo. N. Lester was introduced, who made a lengthy speech, filled with solid sense and sparkling humor. He said he never thought ol Geor. gia but he did not thank God for cast ing his lot among her people. He told an anecdote in which a gcoa old brother at a class meeting once had reached the highest pitch of good feeling, and was rather anxious that those who sought the hand of mercy should show many signs of grief, and wondered why among those who gathered at the sanctuary there were none who bore upon their faces the evidence he wished to see. At last frooi far tack in the congregation a female figure glided to the front bench es and dropped upon her kuees with h aviness, while her exclamations and the distortions of her face plainly ex pressed her agony. Tb e good old broth er advanced, laid his hand upon her head and said “Brethren, my morey’s on this woman.” Like this old man, his money was on Georgia. Georgia was the first State to throw off the shackles of reconstruction. See again how proudly she marched up on the fourth of Octo her. Col. Lester reviewed the Democratic platform, dwelt upon the powers of Mr. Tilden to carry out its principles, find closed by aa allusion to Dr. Felton, and his course, calling upon the Democrats to stand by the organization in this hour of peril. Col. Lester by his tire less address completely sotr rnanded the attention and brought forth the applause of his hearers from beginning to end- Col.Trammell being present was called for loudly, and excused himself from an address. He proposed three cheers for Tilden, Hendricks and Dabney, which was responded to with great earnest. After the speeches were finished the crowd made its way to the groun s lo cated near the railroad in rear of the Calhoun Hotel, where was a mest temp ting display of barbecued meats wailing to win their affections. As night drew in her sable curtains, and the weary sun sank to rest beneath the western skies, the noble men of Gordon returned to their homes, many of them convinced that they had listeued to the truth and that the hope of the country laid in a solid front arrayed against the corrupt power,and the same would brim: a peace ful government, and reclaim the country from che disgrace of her rulers. Wed nesday will be remembered as a day for Democracy.
