From letter written by Rev. j. Gun

permitted to make this extrat: 81 have
no hesitation in recommending DR..
Kings New Discovery, as the results
were almost marvellous in the case of my
wife. While l was pastor of the Baptist
church at Rives Junction she was brought
down with Pneumonia succeeding La
Grippe. Terrible paroxysms Iof cough
ing would last hours with little inter
ruption and it seemed as if she could
not survive them. A friend recommend;

REMARKABLE SHOOTING.
What Two GeorGians Have Done With
Rifles.

Rifles.
Editor ST Hawkins, of the Covington
Enterprise, is not to be turned down
when it comes to yarns. Recently he
read in the Early County News a state
ment that Uncle Buck Anthony was de-
cjdedly the best shot in that section;
that he could take lock of cotton with
one seed in it. stick pin through the
seed into board, stand off forty yards
and with an ordinary Winchester pick
every particle of the lint off the seed and
never touch it.
Editor Hawkins comes back promptly
with this:
ave wish that our old friend, Esquire
Marion Berry, was alive so that he could
give Uncle Buck few lessons in rife
shooting. The Squire, at the age of
seventy years, got our gunsmith, Mr..
Jesse Lamb, to make him a rife that
carried 100 bullets to the pound of lead.
He once bored hole in gate post, with
small gimlet, and stepped off one hun
dred yards to show the boys how we'll he
could shoot off-hand The first shot he
fired went through the gimlet hole with
out scraping either side, and for 100
straight shots he put every bullet
through the same hole, rubbing it 50
slick with lead that looked if some one
had been swabbing it out with a greasy
rag. The Squire had great confidence
in his rifle, and with little practice he
got so he could clip the wings off a
humble bee in the air at 100 yards with
out touching his body. The Squire got
so that he would shoot at board al the
distance of 200 yards, and after the first
bullet went through the board he would
bet ten to one that he could shoot 1000
though the same hole.

Captain W. NJ. Hammond, of Thomas
vile, has been talking for publication to
representative of the Chicago Record.
The sharp division that the
captain speaks of between the people
ON the money question is not so much
of a division as he seems to think. The
people of Georgia are as near unanimous
for the coinage of silver as a people well
be, and if there is ever a straight
out test of the strength of the two fac
lions the silver element will be oyer
whelmingly victorious. The captain
also fails to give Major Bacon credit for
his full vote in the legislature, which was
more than 90. If our memory serves
us correctly.
The prominence of Captain Hammond
IN the politics of this section of the state
makes the interview one of interest, how
ever, and TIE News gives it below:
The Interview.
Townsville, GA, March 26.-Capt.
w. M. Hammond may safely be referred
to as the leading citizen of this section.
He is lawyer and has been honored in
various ways by his fellow-citizens. He
has been repeatedly offered the congress
siOnal nomination and has been talked of
for the United States senate, but he pre-
fers his practice and private life. He is
looked up tolwithI confidence by all class
es in southern Georgia as leader, and
speaks with the voice of an oracle upon
political and all other topics that attract
the interest and affect the welfare of the
people. The captain has a great reputa-
ton as an orator also, and was selected
to make the address of welcome to Gov.
Mckinley when the people of Thomas
vile offered that distinguished visitor
puOnc reception the other day.
1t was a remarkable speech-one of
those warm bursts of eloquence that are
not often heard these days, for that sort
of oratory has gone out of style in the
northern states and can now be heard
only from the silver tongues in the south.
1t contained some rather striking passa-
ges, which set the people talking and
caused much commOtion, for Capt. Ham
mOnd is not in the habit of using idle
words, and there have been frequent
suggestions that he might take hand
in the political evolution that is now 60
ing on in Georgia and assist in the for
nation of new party out of dissatisfied
material in the old.

them to premature graves"

and all other phazes of sentiment. Mr..
Turner's vote would have been larger
had the campaign Of education been COM
menced two months earlier.
"Mr. Bacon's canvas was conducted on
the plan of the preacher whose salary
was paid in wheat. When committee
of the church called upon him to COM
plain that he was preaching unpopular
doctrines he replied: 1T isn't question
of doctrines with nae, but of wheat. So
it was with Bacon. He did not care so
much about political policy or principles,
but he was after votes, and he generally
gave the voters whatever they wanted
and preached one doctrine in one place
and another in another.
"The sound money democrats repre-
sent from 35 TO 40 per cent. of the white
people of Georgia, and in this district we
got y majority ofloveri5, 900. The senti-
ment is growing, and the vote will be
larger at the next election"

"What effect will the progressive
movement, of which Gov. Atkinson is
the leader, have upon the political future
of the state?"
"Atkinson's pro ressive' party will be
short-lived," continued Capt. Hammond.
"It lacks distinctive princi Pile. 1t is a
conglomeration, made up of all sorts of
material for temporary purpose. Gov.
Atkinson is an enthusiast. He was not
the choice of the regular organization
for governor, and started out on lines of
his own, appealing to the new genera
ton; but while the young men voted for
him on that occasion they will not go
very far from home. The Atkinson
movement was not so much the develop
ment of advanced doctrines as it was a
revolt against the recognized leaders of
the party in the state who held on to the
old traditions and the offices. Ny belief
is that the great mass of those who fol-
lowed him will return to their former
places in the organization.
Atkinson has some of the qualities
of leaders, hip, but he will not be perma-
nent leader. He is enthusiastic, bold,
aggressive, eloquent and dashlng, but
lacks bottom. His pretensc that he comes
from the people-that he belongs 10 the
poor white class-is either affectation or
imagination. His antecedents are no
different from those of thousands of
young men in this state who began life
when he did. We have all been pretty
poor down here"

Ono, sir; there were just as many pro-
tectionists in Gergia four years ago as
there are today but the growth of in
dustrial interests has developed it. l
think the split in the democratic party
will be IN the financial policy OF the
government rather than on the tariff
"What class of people compose the
silver par,y?"
"There are two. The more intelligent
and respectable parties are old-time dem
ocrats, who have gone off after the falla-
cy because of their belief that we were
once prosperous in the old times, when
we had free coinage of silver, and re
member the dollar of their daddies' as
good money when the democrats were IN
power years ago. The other class are
men who want to discharge their exist
ing Indebtedness with money that is
worth so per cent. less than it was when
the Indebtedness was incurred. The
former class will ultimately return to
their Senses"
eff there were to be two candidates
before the country for president, one
representing sound money and the other
free silver on 16 to l basis, which
would carry Georgia."
"The result would be exceedingly
doubtful, but it would require energetic
work on tee part of the sound money
men to carry the state,''
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1895-04-10

'Yes,'' said Capt. Hammond, as l
asked him for an expression of his vie US,
'it seems to me that. people of the same
mind in all sections of the country
ought to be getting together. The dem
ocratic party in Georgia is very sharply
divided upon the money question and
the tariff, and it does not seem possible
for us ever to get together again as long
as those questions are paramount in pol
itics. 1t would be easier to predict what
will happen in the future If all the sound
money men believed in protective tariff
and all the free silver men believed in
free trade. The differences of opinion
that exist in the several factions make
considerable confusion, but the lines
think there will be developments in the
next six months that will bring together
those of both parties who agree on sound
money and protection, not only here but
all over the country.
II think any effort to reinstate an ex-
treme policy ON the tariff will retard and
prevent such combination, but on the
basis of the present law, which seems to
be perfectly satisfactory to the entire
country, we can agree. There should,
no doubt, be some correction and amend.

and our people will insistupon restora-

articles, but l doubt if they can be re

ION the other side there will doubt
less will be fusion between the silver
dem ocrats and the populists, which will
not be difficult now that the latter have
eliminated from their platform the sub

ideas. So far as l can see there is moth

The Atheniau Social Club gave its
first Annual Outing Tuesday, August
9th at the elevated and picturesque
spot on the g. x o. Railroad known as
Nit: Pleasant. Early i'm the morning
carriages with green and yellow
streamers flying from their door han
dies could be seen in various portions
of the city occupied by gallant young
men who wore the colors of the Athe-
Man Social Club floating from the lap
pei of their coats. Later on these
same carriages could be seen on the
most popular thorOughfares of the city
occupied by gallant beaux with their
pretty lovers who were vending their
way in the direction OF the 9 4 D. De-
pot where a special train of three
coaches and refreshment car awaited
their arrival. The gentlemanly and
painstaking committee after satisfying
themselves that all guests were COM
fOrtably seated gave signal to start.
In short while the destination was
reached and the shout of Hurrah
went up from every throat. The mu-
sic under the direction of Prof. Harris
of the LIST Battalion band enlivened the
occasion. Those who danced sought
the pavilion and made use of the op-
portunities, while others sought
amusement in outdoor sports such as
baseball, swinging, bathing, boating,
fishing, etc. Nearing / O'Clock a
heavy cloud lowered over them and the
rain began TO pour in torrents which
forced all TO seek shelter in the spacious
pavilion. This did not last long how
ever, and only served as a means of
rest from the forenoon's pleasure. The
afternoon was equally as well enjoyed.
During this period there were some
new arrivals who could not conven-
iently come in the morning These
however caused a new smile to adOrn
the faces of those who were awaiting
their appearance. AS the sun com
menced TO disappear behind the West
ern hills, the pic-nicers began their
Journey towards the train Thus a
day OF boundless pleasure was abont
ended.
On reaching Richmond the streets
was about blockaded with carriages
awaiting the arrival of the train.
