T1r. Carse Explains,

Mr.. Carse Gags, 10 reply to the article
i q last evenings ARGUS, that he had no
connection whatever with the sale of those
bonds; that if there was any division Of
per centage he never received uiceI of
1t, and that he wants to be placed right in
the matter
The ARGUS did not charge that he
received any of the PERCENTAGE, nor did it
charge that he negotiated the bonds-it
sim ply said that he allowed the report to
go in without protest. This Mr.. Carse
says is uet the case, as the whole matter
was discussed by the entire council and
fully understood at the time, Mr.. Carse
is cheerfuily accorded the benefit of a
denial, and hence this article. The
ARGUS has no malice to crafty
against Mr.. Carse, being friendly,
personally to him, and although differing
with him politically has ever found him
courteous in business matters. The article
10 last evenings ARGUS was not charge
against bis integrity but in the nature of
an interrogation-and Mr., Carse's reply
is therefore given equal space.
THE ARGUS had intended to avoid all
personal references to candidates and had
hoped that the campaign could have been
conducted % friendly prineiples-and so
far as We are concerned would have been.
The Union, however, in its zeal to appear
unusually stalwart, had to resort to refec-
tious ION the opposition candidates leaving
no other recourse bu: retaliation in kind.
Its attack on Aster was an outrage. and
its wild statement about Cameron was
made without care-at least.

The above notice is being posted and

a few, to continue the drawing of their
support from the union. The committee
clain they were on the eve of victory when
some thirty made break and went to
work. The strike originating in Hampton
and Happy Hollow, there is no mention
made of any of their names for reasons
best known to themselves. They have
been DO nearer victory than they were the
frst day of last December. The strike is
ended and has been for some time and is
only fought by those that cannot get work
here. Even within a week have some of
these same committee applied for work,
thereby running the great risk of being
posted as blacklegs and none of them but
would work if allowed to do so. Not one
of the strikers have been asked to 60 to
work, but every one have applied person.

with colored men and if at any time there
are any lacking, more will be found to fill

Earning in Cobb.

Five years ago, Mr. j. l. Chamberlain Of
New York, came to Cobb county, and
bought 500 acres of land from Mr.. J. T..
Burkhalter, ON Powder Springs road, about
| five miles from Marietta He came South
in search OF health. He first stopped at
Knoxville. Tenn, and then tried Barlow
county, but is now satisfied that the climate
here suits him better, the water purer and
the atmosphere more invigorating. His in
vestments in Barlow county didn't turn out
well, and he was embarrassed some when
he took hold of the Burkhalter farm, but he
went to work, determined to succeed. The
first year the land yielded poorly and he
made only sixteen bales of cotton. He be-
gan to plow deep. save manure and apply
it to the land, and kept up constant I'M
provement. This last year he had Ito acres
seven bales of cotton, averaging 400 pounds
each This was an astonishingly largeyieid,
and the result was he cleared S. 600 lie
placed is tons of wheat bran on the land, at
cost of S14 per ton, and used p tons OF
guano. He is out Of debt, has spent 5000
in improving his farm. has fine stock good
pastures. believes in the stock law, and in
coming South has found both health and
wealth. He has demonstrated the fact that
there is as much in the man. as in the land
This year he will use ten tons OF guano and
we shall watch to see if he doesn't make
over 100 bales and profit of 81, 900.

THE closing entertainment for the sea-

locks last Tuesday night was a success.
The programme which was well selected
was both varied and amusing,a and consisted
of Tableaux, Dwarf Orator, The Debate
Some OF the tableaux were beautiful and
showed great taste in their selection and ar
rangement, whilst others were tarces and
ridiculous illustrations that amused the most
serious. Time and space forbids particular
mention of each scene, as we would like to
comment on them The Debate was Just
splendid and satisfied lis that some of the de
bators have profited by their experience
since the last decision. The question
"Whether Love is in the heart the soul or
the heel" was decided to be in the heel the
location of which seemed to be a satisfactory
decision to all. The supper which was
served in the spacious dining room, was sim
ply elegant and amply sufficient for the
large crowd that was present, which was
about $50 persons, a marked feature in the
entertainment was clearing away the entire
stage and putting the room in order in five
minutes The stage was made by Mr.. Ben
