prietors, which has been ever since
1919, it has Loyalty and undertaking
ly supported the Democratic nomi-
neeS. The first vote We ever cast
was for General =. NJ. b. Young for
Congress. We were too young to
vote for General Gordon when he ran
against Rufus B. Bullock for Cover
nor, but we remember his grand and
eloquent speech that he delivered
during that campaign, as he stood on
fiat car at our depot and addressed
a large crowd of Marietta citizens,
when Federal bayonets glistened and
Federal soldiers stood around as a
menace to free speech. His stirring
words aroused our people to throw
OF the calling yoke ofmilitary despot-
ism and assert their manhood in the
redemption of Georgia, and ever
since that memorable occasion we
have always wanted an opportunity to
vote for the scarred-face soldier, and
now that he is before the people, we
expect to do what we can to right
the wrong that SHARP and quick
Hubert done him by counting him
out and counting Bullock in. And

in her stoves last Friday she had no

she was puzzled by the odor Of some
baked meat which had an unfamiliar
smell. On opening her stove door
she found her three house eats nice

stove to find comfortable mapping

the door without noticing them. AS

GORDON'S POSITION.

General Gordon is opposed to the
sale of the State Road, and opposed
to it being leased to the East Tonnes
see Road, because he wants the peo-
pie to have competing line that
frelghts may not be eXtortionately
levied on the people. Major Bacon
is the Attorney OF the East Tennessee
Road and the Pullman Palace Car
Company at salary of $4,000 per
year, and he is very likely to use his
influence in behalf of his railroad
friends. Gen. Gordon is in favor of
the Railroad Commission that the
people may not be Disseminated
against and oppressed. Major Bacon
wants the Railroad Commission mod-
fed. General Gordon is opposed to
)nvict labor being brought in com
petition with free labor. He is
squarely committed on these ques-
tons, and being the gallant soldier,
the Christian statesman and pure
patriot that he is, he should have the
support OF the people irrespective of
class or calling.

AN OUTRAGE.

In Joint discussion at Augusta,
Major Bacons organized claquers
were so bosterous and discourteous
to Gen. Gordon as to hiss and drown
his voice, and he had to conclude
his speech before his time expired.
Col. J. {. G. Black, Baconite, twice
attempted to silence the rough crowd
and said, mo cause, no matter how
worthy, deserved to succeed by such
means. But he was not needed.
The scene was disgrace to Augusta
and an outrage on General Gordon
that the people will rebuke at the
ballot box One Bacon man writes
to the Constitution and says: 81 be-
gan to wonder if John b. Gordon
ever thought, when suffering from
five wounds received in one battle,
where he fought for Georgia's honor,
that he would be denied the right to
speak before Il Georgia audience, es-
peciallX in behalf of man who had
lett the army and become commits
sary. He therefore says he will not
countenancc such an outrage and will
vote for Gordon.
