LOCAL ITEMS.

Hon. George N. Lester, Chair
man of the State Executive Com
mittee, has issued a patriotic letter
to the people of Georgia, advising a
big vote be polled for Tilden and
Hendricks, Colquitt and the demo-
cratic nominees.
We learn that the democratic
convention at Canton, Cherokee
county, last Tuesday was tumul>
tuous and stormy, full of wrangling
and iIl>feeling, and broke up without
nominating delegates to the Dalton
convention, while some free fights
ensued. This state of affairs is to
be regretted by all peace-loving and
law abiding citizens, no matter who
are their favorites for office. This
decentralization is the direct fruits of
Feltonism.
-MR. Samuel X. Griffith, form
erIy of Marietta, died in Warren
county, Nd, on the 10Th ult., in his
18th year. At the time of his death,
he was one of the Judges of the Or
phan's Court, and prominent Sun
day School Superintendent and tenn
perance wor ker.
--THE burden of DR.. Felton's
speech was to prove that he acted
with the Democracy in Congress as
an Organiged Democrat. AS no one
had assaulted his record there, it
needed no defense from him. The on
ly issue, so far as he is concerned, is
that he was an organized Democrat
at Washington, aOhere he had to be or
be aoitbout influence, and that he IS
not an organized Democrat at home
an Inconsistency not at all appre-
ciated. -CaYterSuHIe Express.

/ Summer time up here yet.
Had a nice llitde tornado OF
| last Friday. The wind blew Mr.
IFKahn's tent down and the rain dam
aged his material considerably.
There had been no theft com
mittcd in this place for a long time,
until last week, negro boy who
had been staying at Mr.. Perkinson'i
stole small amount of money, and
was sent to Jail.
The last two meetings of the
a l. S have been largely attended
by ladies as we'll as gentlemen. !
learn that the members of this socie-
~ intend making an effort to estab-
Iish a library at this place. The
work is certainly commendable.
-Acworth has not as many for
eign bellies as Gainesville, but, oh,
my ! she has some charming home
pro 'u:'s.
The colored people of the Meth
odist persuasion are now engaged in
campmeeting near Acworth. On
Sunday there was 40 attendance of
at least one thousand. A woman
preached on the morning of the came
day.
Rev j. G. Ryals pastor of Ac-
worth Baptist Church has been
granted two months rest by his con>
gregation on account of his health.
"A we'll known and very popu-
lar gentleman ofthis village was go
ing to take a ride on Sunday even>
ing. He invited his principal rival
to accompany him to singing about
a quarter mile distant BY a pre-
concerted arrangement the first gen.
tleman named had tap on one of
his front wheels loosened. They
were riding along right me rily
having accomplished near half their
journey, when off ran one of the
wheels, throwing the "rival" on his
head while the other gentleman
camly KEEP: his seat. Seems to be
serious don't it
-Messrs. HOrch and Parkinson,
two valuable members of Acworlh
and Woodstock society are now on
trip to New York and the Centen>
NAL. Croquet has played out, and
John Turner has throwed away his
manual and now consoles himself
with Ayers almanac.
Cotton is opening rapidly and
as soon as the fodder is all gathered
cotton picking will commence in

WAsHIYeToN, March 22.-Ex-Senator
Stewart was again before the Committee
on Foreign Affairs to-day in relation to
the Emma Mine. 1t appeared from his
testimony that after negotiations had
been made with Albert Grant for putting
the stock on the market it was agreed
that Gen. Shenck should have some of
it. he having said he had money and
would like to invest. He gave circum-
stantiat account of the appointment
of the directors Of the COM
pany and remarked it was
not by acquiring any interest that Gen.
Schenck became director. The salary
was S2,5OO, and Gen. Schenck had time
to attend to the business. He had no
knowledge as to whether the General
paid for the stock himself, but supposed
Parke had arranged TO carry stock for
him. He could not, however, state in
what way. Witness read from Lyons
testimony, and denied several statements
contained therein.
He detailed the terms of the. contract
with Lyon by which he was to relinquish
his interest in the Emma Nine.
Stewart said commissions or

Grant, Lewis & Sons and others. Coates
& Hankey, the parties who introduced
them to Baron Grant demanded 10000
for the introduction, but it was not paid.
He was surprised at the amount OF
money they had to pay to number OF
people in England. He denied Lyons
statement that they gave Schenck 500
shares of stock.
The witness devoted his time to-day
mainly to the emphatic denial of the
main points of Lyons testimony and to
show Schenck WAS an owner OF stock
long before the organization OF the COM
pany and that he did not become a dir
ector till after the sale of the mine. He
said it could not be true that Baron
Grant went into office mainly on the
statement that Schenck was director
for the reason that Schenck did not be-
come director until after the sale Of the
mine. He said General Schenck's name
WIS first suggested on the I'd or I'd OF
November, long after the company was
organized
