WILL FULCHER AND HAMILTON ANSWER?
If Hancock, for whom you voted in 1880,
should be the nominee of the National Dem
oclatic Convention for President next year,
and Arthur, against whom you voted in
1880, should be the nominee of the Nation
al Republican Convention for President,
for whom would you vote?
Would you vote for Arthur as the Valley
VTginian says Sims, and Blain, and other
coalition leaders would do? The inference
is that you would, unless you answer that
you would not; and if you will not answer,
how can you expect any Democrat so to
stultify himself as to vote for you?
Whilst answering that simple question,
you might at the same time, say whether
you. like the leaders Of your party, favor
the policy of having negro trustees to gov
ern white schools.
The voters have the right to know your
views on these and other questions, and it
is your duty to them and to yourselves to
make them known. You have all to make
and nothing to lose by answering; for the
negroes and other Republicans will vote
for you, it matters not how you may answer,
for they recognize you as their candidates
the negroes especially, for they constituted
a majority of the meeting that nominated
you, and have the right to claim you as
their candidates, who will represent them
and their views in practical politics

A Card from Prof McNulty.

MEssRs EDIT0Rs:
In your issue of last week apear-
ed a communication from Miss
Baxter Mabry, of La Grange, Ca,
in reference to her standing in the
competitive honor for the Keely
Medal, awarded at our last com
mencement. If such an impress
sion was made in any manner that
Miss Baxter stood second to Miss
Birdie | am sorry for it. The
Medals were simply presented first
to Miss Birdie, then to Miss Bax-
ter, without any distinction being
made; yet, word of explanation
from me will, / hope, satisfy her
self and the public. The award
was made by Prof. English, a
graduate of Oxford, England, but
now in Pho Mono, Macon, Ga. He
made issue on a word in Miss
Bakers exercise, concupio, sup
posing it to be a poetical license,
for concupisco, because it does not
appear in Ainsworth. A part of
our Faculty endorsed Tire umpire's
decision. Hence really the error
in the public mind. | always, in
my publications, have reserved the
right to supervise every decision,
and while l most cheerfully ac
knowledge the superior classical
criticism of Prof. English, and the
mastery manner in which he rem
dered his decision, my gradus jus
titles me, in differing with him,
and sustaining Miss Baxter, in her
selection of the word concupio,
which means a settled desire,
while coacupiScd means a growing
desire. This being the only avail
able difference | was compelled to
make honors easy" and duplicate
the Keely medal for Miss Baxter.
This matter, gentlemen, may seem
of small importance to your read
ers, but to Miss Baxter, who
shared the first honor in LaGrange
Female College twoyears ago, and
who has eter since struggled with
Trojan assiduity to master the
classics, it was of the highest i'm
portance. | will add;tha this class
of young ladies is the only One in
the Union who can compose Latin
verses in all the metres Of Horace
in classic style and l am proud Of
them, and Georgia ought to be.
Their exercises in print is subject
to the criticism of any person who
may desire it. Thanking you for
the privilege OF giving this expla-
nation to the public l am res
pectfully, NJ. A. McNULTY.

Our Truckers.

No set OF men with whom we
ever had to deal is more clever,
courteous, heightened and accom-
modating than our truck men. Our
commercial intercourse with these
gentlemen has been especially
pleasing, and we trust that every
one of them may live to produce
many more crops of fine melons.
1t is pleasant thing to ride down
to Graves and catch half dozen
or more Of these jolly melon
growers loading getting ready to
sell or ship as the case may be.
1t would take the sourness even
out of the crusty old Telegraph to
make a trip down there and see
how much our truck men enjoy
life and how thoroughly sanguine
they are of success. We must be
excused, however, for referring to
that good old paper in this con-
nexion; it is getting all right now
on the 'truck business and may
be counted en- to do valiant service
in the interest of the truckers
another year. But all testing
aside, there is no man in Terrell
county who has engaged in this
bushes but what will make money.
and at the proper time we shall
publish certificate of experience
from every one of them. This
truck industry has already brought
into our county several thousand
dollars, and that, too, at a season
of the year when the value of
dollar is fully appreciated. 1t is
by no means failure. No man,
of whom we know, has lost a sin
gle nickel at the business, but on
the contrary we can cite dozen
who have made money. Upon this
subject Mr. o. B. Stevens, one of
our clearest headed business men,
who has been in St. Louis for the
past several weeks handling the
truck products of this section and
who has made it a special study,
declares, in private letter written
to friend, that we have only got
to ''B" in the business. He says
we must go entirely through the
whole alphabet before we can ex-
pect to make it such a success as
it is really destined to become.
Mr.. Stevens has abiding faith in its
ultimate success and believes that
it will prove great bonanza to this
section. Then, we say, to our
truck men, take courage. The
business is obliged to succeed.
