,I>R. W. H. FELTON.
This distinguished gentleman, who is
known ns the independant candidate for
OongreS- Ironi this the seventh district,
delivered a ver)' eloquent and practical
speech at the Court. House in this place
lust Wednesday, to a latge assemblage
of voters of the county in support of his
eindid »cy. Ihe Doctor endeavored
to prove by his acknowledged powers of
argument that his p >licy wis right and
would prove more effectual in securing
Democratic success than nominations
held as they are at the present day.
While we, front what wc have pre
viously known of Dr. Felton, praise his
abilities, and have nothing to say
against him as a gentleman, yet in our
opinion the course he is pursuing cer
tainlv proves that he cannot have the
real good of the party of which he
claim? to he a member at heart. Be-
cause the people fail to take charge of
nominations as they shuuld do rings
place objectionable men before them.
This creates dissatisfaction and causes a
weakness in the party. J his weakness
Dr. Felton seeks to take advantage of
to secure support, instead ot placing
his name before a convention ami ask
ing the people to come up and by the
power they possess, control the nomina
tion and secure their choice of a can
didate. It is through organization the
Republican party in years past have
succeeded over disorder in Democratic
ranks and placed us even under negro
rule. Now that these results may not
again occur let Democrats maintain unity.
It must be remembered that there are
other good men in the district whose
claims upon the party are as strong as
those of Dr. Felton If all these
should adopt I)r. Felton’s course, the
Democratic vote would be divided, and
the Radicals through the agency of
perfect organization, would put in their
man. In truth, Dr. Felton is a disor
gatiizer and it his plan should become
a precedent Democratic success is uncer
tain.
THE STATE AGRICULTURAL SOCI
ETY.
We read with a great deal of inter
est the proceedings as published of the
nnuuul State Agricultural Convention
held at Stone Mountain on Tuesday,
the 11th inst. The address of the
President, General Colquitt, is an able
one, and presents many points of inter
est to the farmers. After giving a brief
history of the society and its ascendan
cy since its first organization and the
material benefits to the country resulting
from its workings at the present day,
he gives good advice to the farmers on
leading subjects, and condemns as hurt
ful the all-cotton plan. Southwestern
Georgia is planting more corn while
Middle and Northern Georgia plant
more cotton. General Colquitt was re
elected President, and accepted the hon
or in a tasty 'title speech. The ~'suits
of experiments were presented before
the society, various questions were dis
cussed, and it was urged upon the pea*
pie that all should take the proper in
terest in the coming State Fair, and'
make it a success. All labored during
the three days session with earnestness
and for improvement in agriculture.—
Verily, should it not be a source of con
gratulation among the masses that amid
legislative quibbling and all polit cal
turmoil, we can proudly boast of an or
ganization —an intelligent body of far
mers—who yearly assemble and in har
mony represent the largest and no s
important interest of our State, inter
changing views on themes relating to
the good of the land. Let county so
cieties awake to their duty and labor
more assiduously that the State organ
ization may be strengthened and ren
dered yet still better.
Thomnsville was selected as tho next
place for holding the convention.
TIIE Phrenological Journal and
L fe Illustrated for August must please
all who read it, so excellent is the vari
ety and treatment of the subjects which
311 its paor6. A glance at its contents
shows the following as worthy special
consideration : A problem of the king
dom—in vrhioh the author draws a ro
markable parade 1 between Job’s “Levi
athan” and the Great Eastern; Dr.
Thomas F. Hicks, editor of the “ Way*
side Hypnotism and Mesmerism—
showing the results of some naval exper
irnents : Glances at Faces —a welVwrit
ten and illustrated article ; Irish Court
ship and weddings—very amusing;
W'h'ab Women Can Do—as revealed by
the bite census; Uendrrng the Twig—
hints on child’ management; Colorado
for the Tourist and Health Seeker;
Genesis and Inter -KMatiwv of the Scien
ces—a learned and instructive paper;
tt. W. F. Hoick now, M. P , the English
iron maker; Venice illustrated;
Preaching and Lecturing—good hints,
etc. The “AH Day City Item, ,r of Phil
adelphia, dec-lares the sentiment of the
Journal’s many readers, we believe, when
it says : “ There is no magazine more
S3 a year, for tire number 30 cents. S. R.

The first State Fair ever held in
Georgia took place at Stone Mountain,
August 11th, 1847.
Ax exchange, referring to the Beech
er 1 ilton scandal, voluminous accounts
of which have filled the columns of the
daily newspapers, very truthfully says :
‘‘ If there was ever a time when we
needed a great gulf, an impassable bar
rier, to separate the South from the
North, it is now, when the filthy exha
lations. the foul miasma, the unuttera
ble rottenness of the lower depths of so
cial corruption, in the city of Brook
lyn, are poisoning the atmosphere of
this whole country. God knows, now
a-days, we are ashamed to place a news
paper m the hands of a woman or child,
owing to tho fact that they are nearly
ail lull of this loathsome, unclean thing
that almost makes one despair of hu
man nature. If we could, we would
encircle the orator? this foul drama
with a wall so high and so thick, that
no breath of air, and no sound nor
sight of them, could reach the outside
world any more forever.”

REPORTED BY KITTY CLYDE.
During several days last week the
thermometer stood at 102°.
Spring Square Academy was re open
ed on Monday last. Prof. Hugh G
King is principal and Mrs. 31. 31. Cate
assistant.
The second term of Prof. A. V.
Robinson & Son’s dancing school com
menced on Friday. The Professors
have won quite an enviable reputation
in Dalton, and the class this term is
even larger than the first.
We see a letter held fur postage in
the Dalton post office, addressed to
Alias Lizzie Reeves, Calhoun Ga.
We notice a slight error in the no
tice of the marriage ceremony a few is
sues ago. '[ he notice should have read
Miss Julia Simms and 3lr. Cornelius E.
Luekie. It was a slight error, still it
was gross enough to admit of unlocking
the forms for correction.
W e are promised a rich treat on the
29th of the present month. Woo
ten & Andrew’s Great Southern
Menagerie and Calisthenic Exposition
will exhibit on that day. The editor of
the Times should be on hand or have
an Agent to solicit subseribtion- “Jo
nh ’ will be here, of course, suppose you
label him “ Calhoun Ti.vjes.”
To the editor of the Citizen we will
say that on the eventful evening that
we wrote that little paragraph that
seemed to affect him so much, we were
sitting by an open window that looked
out upon a flower-yard where bloomed
several perpetual roses. Said roses were
plainly visible by the lamp light that
gleamed over said ya>'d. The idea of
seeing a rose by the light of a kerosene
lamp!! Strange, isn’t it!!! Next time
we will be more explicit for the benefit
of some whose comprehension is not
as bright as it ought to be.

The weather is hot and dry.
We are iu great need of a good rain.
A few days ago one of our citizens
lost a turkey, and in company with our
3larshal repaired to the house of a col
ored lady, and to the utter surprise of
the sable female found the turkey cook
ing. She said it was a strange ihing
that she only “ picked Up a little rock
and throwed at it, and it i’a now in de
pot,”
“ I attended divine worship” (not at
the “ First* Presbyterian' Church”) at/
Rowland Springs on yesterday and the
preceding week I did not hear brother
“ Jones ” nor any of the Jones family*
but I heard a good talk from old friend
Buford. He does not have to climb to
the top of the “ ladder” but is now
“ corruscating” on the top round. He
started up the “ ladder ” a Presbyterian
but stands on the top a rousing Bap
tist.
We had quite an* etrtbuskistic meet
ing in cur city on Saturday last, the
largest Democratic gathering sirree the
war, and Gen. P. M. B. Young Was the
man that they wanted for Congress.—
F. M. Ford, Dan Lunyes, John Craw
ford and Win. Wiliford, were elected
delegates to the convention at Calhoun
with the instruction to vote for Gen
Young.
A few nights back one of our citi
zens was forced to use powder and ball
to protect his potato patch, and the
next morning a report of a pistol wa s
heard in the house of another citizen,
and the cry was that he had shot him
self; but tli ball in his leg did not cor
respond with the size of his pistol.—
“Don’t this look thin ?”
Harry II was in your place last
Wednesday, and attended the supper
given by the ladies for the benefit of
the Baptist Chinch, and'gives his ac
count of it. The supper was fine, and
everything good, and tho ladies did
themselves a lasting honor. Mrs. B.
G Boaz had charge of the ice cream
department. Mrs. J. 11. Arthur seem
ed to be the leader in the other
ments. Miss C. Hudgins, Miss Young,
Mrs lain, and Miss Maggie, the P. M.,
contributed largely to the success of the
affair. Now for the men. A few no
ble hearts were present, but I do think
t ;»f them must be careless, or- all
would have been there. It was worth
75 cents to have looked at the table
which these noble ladies haa prepared,
and *hat too during the warmest weath
er of the season. Harry says if they
have another supper he will he there
He says if he was nUt a little afraid, he
would tell of getting the button p!a r ed
in the cake, but some of the girls might
think he played “ Bill Jones.” lie got
home next day, and was glad Sanford
Beil Charged him no extra freight on
his cake, large as it was.
JOAB.
Grand Jury Presentments.
We, tho Grand Jurors sworn in for
the first week of Gordon county Su
perior Court, August term, 1874, make
the following presentments :
The press of State's business during
the week has preven/ed our bo‘dy from
making as thorough examination of our
county affairs as we would like to have
done. We feel satisfied that tho jury
for the second week will take pleasure
in looking after all that we have omit,
ted.
We have examined the Justice
Courts’ dockets of the different dis
tricts of the county, and find that none
of them are full enough in their en
tries. Some fail to show service on de
fendants, others omit entering the dates
of issuing fi. fas. and near’y all neglect
to show where or in whose bauds the fi.
fas. arc, arrd none of the dockets show
the fctufft of the ft. fas. to the office,
satisfied of Otherwise, which omission
leaves the judgment standing open on
the docket, which neglect is liable to
give parties great trouble.
We would call the special attention
of the different Justices of the Peace to
those defects, and recommend that they
be remedied,
W r e call the special attention of the
Commissioners and Overseers to the
roads in tho different districts. Take
the roads as a whole we find them in a
bad condition with but few exceptions,
the most of the roads have been run
over recently by the hands, and a little
loose dirt thrown in the washes and
ruts to be washed out by the first rain.
We find that the roads have been
changed in SbiriO' places and fences set
in the old road, and the grubs, stumps,
etc., are left standing in the new road
to the terror of the traveling public.—
We also find Nesbitt’s bridge unsafe,
in fact dangerous, and call the atten
tion of the County Commissioners to the
same.
We have examined the jail building
and 4in4 undor % repairs
and being repainted without filling the
spaces between the bricks where the old
mortar has washed or fallen out. We are
sorry to see so much money spent on a
bui ding that never was fit for the pur
poses for which it was built, wnd we
now consider the house unsafe to live in
much less'for a prison.
W T e have partially examined the Tax
Receiver’s book, and find in several in
stances where we think the property is
given in at less than its real val&e, and
we would call the Receiver’s attention to
these defects, hoping the jury of* next
week will finish the examination.
We have examined the records of
the Ordinary’s office commencing at the
minutes, Record of Wills, Records of
Bonds of Administrators and Execu
tors, Records of Letters granted Ad
ministrators &e., Records of Appraised
Bills, Records of Saie Bills, 3larriasre
Licenses, Records of Widows support.
Docket Book of Administrate ns and
Letters granted, Records of Adminis,
trators Returns, and Records of Liq
uor Liecnse, all of which we find in
good condition and neatly kept.
We have thoroughly examined the
uriuutes for roads and county purposes
commencing <he Ist of January,- 1873,
while in the Ordinary’s hands, and
since they have been turned over to the
commissioners of Roads and Revenues of
the county, and we find the aggregate
amount of orders ordered paid up to
the present lime is $6,023,58r.
We have atso examined the Treasur
er’s book and s‘tid the following amounts
paid out since the first of January ’73 :
For Paupers, 51,700 50
Amount paid out for building
and repairing bridges, 009 38
Amount paid out for Coronors,
Bailiffs and Witnesses, 072 57
Amount paid out for Court
House expenses, 1'.0G2 00
Amount paid out set Election
Returns, 50 00
Amount paid out for* Jury Tick
ets, 1,938 00
Amount total paid out as «ier
Treasurers Book, £6:153 11
The total amount received by
Treasurer from the Ist of
January, ’73, as shown by
Treasurer’s book to the pres
ent time is, 7,788 79
Deducting the amount paid out
us above, 0,153 11
Shows a balance in Treasurer’s
hands of 1,035 08
The amount of orders paid as per
Treasurer's book is 0,153 11
The amount of claims approved
and ordered paid by Ordß
nary and Commissioners of
Roads and Revenues is 6,023 58
Shows the amount paid out in
excess of orders 129 53
We are inform <1 by the Treasurer
that he has orders in his hands that are
not entered on th*/ book to cover the ex
cess between the total amount received
and paid out,
We also find tout it takes about tea
per cent, of the indigent funds to pay
for issuing of orders to the Treasurer
for their payment for instance if at the
sitting of the bfxrd for county pur
poses. there is {’tree account; presented
one for sl2 00, or e for $1 50 and one for
G 50, all amounting to 820 00 and
an order is granted for the payment
of the above accounts and signed by
the Chairman *»f the Board. The
Clerk copies e-» ih account and attach
es a separate orlfcr to each copy, and
draws out of th/ Treasury seventy-five
cents for recording each copy, under
which charge and each copy we think
excessive and do'nnt believe that the law
makers ever contemplated such ape
cent, to be taken from the county funds
in addition to tl e per cent, allowed to the
Tax 'teceiver „tt-fflector, and Treasuier.
We reecrmm. Tfi that the School Cotnis
sioners of the county collect front the
State the uunouilfc due to our county fur
the year 1871 and pay off’ the claims of
teachers for that year as fast as possible,
the taxes are so burdensome of the coun
ty, now we think it would be imprudent
to recommend he levying ofataxfor
that purpose.
We have also examined the records
of the Sheriff’s office, and find them
neatly kept except failing
to enter the da}’’ and month property
was sold.
As there sec“;s to be a misunder
standing between the Ordinary and Da
vid Collins in .ega’d to the specifica
tions of the jC 1 repairs. We therefore
recommend th;.. David Collins be paid
one hundred au j sixty dollars extra of
contiact for gru as in jail windows.
In looking over the Treasurer’s books
we find various “mounts paid officers of
(lie Superior C art for extra sei vice out
of the taxes »\‘sed for other specific
purposes. As 'here ha3 been no tax
levied or coffee •• L for the payment of
such claims, feel that it is wrong to
take the money-- raised for other pur
poses and applyMt to their payment. We
feel confident t hat such claims should
take their chances with the insolvent
cost list and be paid out of the moneys
arising from fi.ies and forfeitures in said
court.
By running ver tho various present
meats for sevtfV 1 years of different Grand
Julies we fid’ mat there has ueen many
very important recommendations to the
interest of the county that have been
passed unnoticed by our officers, and we
can but say W consider it almost use
less to make any recommendation of a
public nature.
We further recommend that these pre
sentments be published in the Calhoun
Times
In taking leave of big Honor J W.
11. we can but express our
appreciation or the able manner in which
he has discharged his duty. Also to
the Solicitor General A. T. Hack-est, for
the maTry courtesies extended to onr
body.

Civil Rights in Alabama.—
Montgomery , August 14, 1871. —This
evening, on the Selma train, the conduc
tor ordered a negro out of the ladies car.
On his refusal to go the conductor took
the negro by the arm to force him out.
Busteed, United States District Judge,
took sides with the negro and drew a
pistol and told him not to go. Busteed
and the negro left the car and soon re
turned with some twenty negroes and
took possession. There was only three
ladies in the car and one gentleman.
Two white Republicans on the train per
suaded the negroes to return, after they
had possession of the ear some time.
Great indignation is manifested at such
conduct on the part of a United States
•Judge.
Hfre is the wail arid warning of an
unhappy Nebraskan : ‘‘Don’t 6ome to
Nebraska ! Don’t allow any one to come
here because it is h—ll in the shape of

harvest, and now everj* piece of corn and
potatoes is ruined. Dave Hill lost his
entire Crop of corn —about fifty acres in
all. Smith has lost all but two acres of
corn. The fact is, desolation reigns su
preme in the fields. There is a fair
prospect of want for the homesteaders,
and likely starvation for some. Should

might escape the impending doom.
