A PROPOSITION.

ga propersition to heal the diScor-
dant elements in the Democratic
party, of the 9TH Congressional Dis>
trict." Let each Democratic U0ter
answer the following questions
Do you desire the defeat of the
Radical party every where To do
this, is it not better to be united ?
Can house divided against itself
stand Which wing of the Demo-
cratic party is most likely to affiliate
with the Radicals, the Independent,
or the Organized ? If Radicalism
is wrong is not a tendency
in that direction wrong also ?
Which wing of divided Democratic
party do Radicals desire to over
throw Why do Radicals as a mat
ter of course unite with the Indepen>
dents If such utilization is mutual
do not independents desire the over
throw of organized Democracy ? Do
Independents seek office for the
good of the country, or is it ambi
ten. If for the god of the country
is it right to invite the enemies Of
the country to assist in the election
of Independents ?
If the Radical party were invited
to attend and vote in a Democratic
contention would they not vote for
the man most in sympathy with
themselves Would not the man
who invited them expect their votes I?
Is he as sound Democrat as he who
would not give such invitations 7
When Independents fight organized
Democrats and extend the right of
fellowship to Radicals, is not their
Democracy questionable ? When
there is breach in the Democratic
party is it right to throw the Radi-
cal party in to hcal that breach 7 Is
not the remedy worse than the dis
ease 2 who desires political amalga-
nation the Independents or the or
ganized Democrats 7 If conventions
are corrupt would it not be better for
the people to enter them and purify
them than to throw away the organ
izaton and thus give aid to Radical
ism
Are not Independents anti Dem
ocratic 2 Have not the people as
much right to say who shall run for
office as to say who shall be elected -?
Are no. conventions better qualified
to make a nomination than he .who
dominates himself a?
Is there not safety in a multitude
of connselors
Mr.. Editor, if each Democrat will
answer these questions and indeed a
patriot the organized Democracy will
triumph overwhelmingly over Radi
caIism aud It's allies.

LOCAL ITEMS.

The Cobb County Sunday
school Association will hold its sec>
ond session at Smyrna on Wednes-
day the Ssh of November. The oo>
casion promises to be one of much
interest and it is to be hoped that all
the Sunday School workers in the
county will take special pains to be
there. Rev. Mr.. Boykin, Baptist
Sunday School evangelist, Rev. w
F. Cook and Maj. Campbell Wallace
have promised to be present, and
thus with DR.. Branham, Rev Mr.
Buttolph, Rev. W. F. Glenn, and
others, who are warmly enlisted in
the work to do The talking, and Mrs.
Ward and her class to do the sing
ing, feast of good things. may be
expected.
III matters but little who Bob
Toembs is for or against. In a
speech at Sparta, Ca, a few weeks
ago, he is reported by the Sparta
Times has having severely denounc>
ed the St Louis platform upon
which our great reformers, Tilden
and Hendricks, were nominated, also
denounced the United States Gov>
eminent. His erratic judgment and
fiery impetuosity renders him an un-
safe adviser or leader for any peo~
pie.
Mr.. H. C. White, clever and
genial as ever, still holds forth on
Cherokee street, dealer in general
merchandise. He has a good as
sortment of goods and makes it to
the interest of his customers to trade
with him. Mr.. P. 7. Handy and
Mr.. Charlie Stephens are clerks in
this store and are ever ready to do
the agreeable.
DIR. Felton, says Col. Dabney
is an honest, pure and capable man,
and nice gentleman From this
admission it can be seen that Dr.
FELTON, is not making his fight against
Col. Dabney, the nominee, but
against the Democratic party, par
ty that hopes to elect Tilden and
Hendricks rulers of this country.

BARBECUE LAST SATURDAY.

There was grand rally of the
Democracy of Cobb at Glover's
Grove near this place, last Saturday,
in attendance of mass meeting and
barbecue. A large and enthusiastic
crowd was present including many
ladies. The meeting was addressed
by Gen. A. r Lawton, Electorate
large, Col. W. H Dabney, demo
cratic nominee for Congress, Col G
N. Lester, Chairman of the State
Executive Con- mittee, and Col. Jas.
W. Robertson, of Roswell. The
speeches Of these gentlemen were
able, pointed and scathing, and from
the interest manifested and applause
given, it was quite evident they had
an appreeiative and convincing eff
feet. We have since met gentle
men who tell us of the converts
made on that day, men who were
avowed supporters of FELTON,, now
boldly proclaim that they will cast
their sutfrages to defeat the Har>
grove "aIiance offensive and defen>
sive.' The barbecue was pleasant
feature and well served to a large
crowd. 1t was a grand day for the
democracy of Cobb and will prove
beneficial in the election of Tilden,
Hendricks and Dabney.

Andrew Beck is one of those
fellows who had as lief die for their
country and have their names spelled
wrong in the papers as to eat a good
dinner, and he enlisted at Atlanta,
and in few weeks would have been
trailing the blood thirsty savage,
bat it appears that Andrew Beck was
an escaped convict, he having been
sentenced to one year on charge Of
larceny by the Superior Court, but
managed to get away while at work
on the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad. So Andrew has smoothed
his wrinkled front, and will serve out
his sentence before he goes to fight
the Indians.

Editorial Notes.

TnE "railroad war has gone so far that
it is said that not a car or train now starts
from Chicago for New York on which the
actual expense of moving it does not exceed
the receipts.
The authorities OF New Brunswick re-
fuse to deliver up Ellis, the robber of the
Park Bank of New York city, on the same
ground on which the English authorities
chung to Winslow the forger. The British
government can have a colony of rascals
from this country. Spain did not refuse to
give up Tweed, although there was no ex-
tradition treaty.
The negro is making progress despite all
opposition. The american Missionary is
hereafter to be printed at Hampton, Va, by
the colored students of the school there on
press which is the gift of Richard Hoe of
New York. The editors propose to enrich
thepages of the monthly, which will assume
quarto form, with contributions from
writers of recognized ability on the problems
connected with the work of the American
Missionary Association.
The latest patented device for the heating
Of street cars in winter, is red hot ball,
weighing one hundred pounds which is put
in a neatly made case, lined with some non
conductor of heat, and fitted with small
air pipe and register to give out the heat.
1t is said that a shot will heat a car comfort
ably for two or three hours on the coolest
day. A small furnace is used in heating
these metallic balls. The device scarcely
seems practicable, but one of the Chicago
street railway companies will make an effort
to introduce it this winter

The Better Times.

Under the above head the December num-
Der of ScriJney's has an article which hits
the nail so squarey o. the head, and speaks
so pointedy of the financial evil and its rem
edy that we take occasion to quote from it
for the benefit of our readers. Speaking of
the periodicity of prosperity which has been
the lot of the country during past years--the
rushing headlong into business aud the con
sequent fall-it says Is this periodicity
necessary We cannot believe that ii is.
When we suffer as community, it is b.
cause as a community we have done wrong.
When legitimate business is properly done,
and not improperly overdone; when credits
are not illegtimately extended, and specula-
ton is not INDUCED in when public and
corporate trusts are managed without cor
ruption when true economy is practiced in
public and private life, a great financial ca
lamity, or crash, is simply impossible"
Every intelligent citizen of the country
every man of common sense-can see the
forceful truth contained in the above. This
reaching out beyond ones means; this striv-
ing to acquire wealth in remarkably brief
space of time this overdoing-these are the
prime causes of so many downfalls among
business men.
After speaking of the wide extension of
credit, feverish thirst for large profits, a
stimulation of extravagant habits and an
increasing love of luxury, the writer goes on
to say "There is but one natural and
inevitable end to all these, and that is dis
aster. 1t comes just as naturally as death
follows a competent poison. There is
no mystery about it whatever; and the
strange thing is, that nation of men are
so much like a nation of children that they
will not learn. The better times for which
we have waited so long seem to have dawned
at last. After the terrible lesson
we have received, it is good time to talk
of the future. Are we to go on again in
the old way, and ill up, within limited
period of years, the old measure of foolish
ness, and tumble again into the old conse
quences Let us live less luxu.
riously; let us tune all our personal and So
cial life to a lower key. We have bravely
begun reform in public and corporate affairs.
Let us continue this, and vigilantly see to it
that our trusts are placed in competent and
honest hands. Above all, let us be content
with modest gains, cease trying to win
wealth in a day, aud get something out of
life besidas everlasting work and ,vorr,

USE on TRoors The democratic and in
dependent press make great ado about
President Grant running the South Carolina
Legislature with United States troops They
talked just so about Lincoln, during the re-
belion, and all they need to do is to reprint
their old Trades Of abuse and denunciation,
substituting Grant for Lincoln. The pres
ence Of United States troops in South Caro-
lima, or any other state, is only warranted to
preserve the peace, which the Governor Of
the state coniesses his inability to preserve
without such assistance. But their mission
begins and ends as preservers of the peace,
and they clearly have no authority TO inter
fere otherwise. The use Of soldiers TO ex-
cude certain persons from the legislative
hall at Columbia, S. c., the other day, was
without the knowledge or consent of General
Ruger, the officer in command, and was
stopped as soon as it became known, which
was only a few minutes. President Grant
emphatioally disayows any such use Of the
military. 1t is for the legislature of South
Carolina to settle for itself the question of
membership. If men were found claiming
seats without proper authority the legis'a-
ture should order them removed by the ser
geant-at-arms, and the Governor should sup
port the order with the state troops. II this
were resisted, and conflict ensued, the fed
eral force could be called upon to assist the
legal authorities in maintaining peace But
clearly they have no right to interfere until
this crisis is reached
