bad typhoid fever is cvi-lcr.ce that there is a

We commend to the attention of our renders,
the open, frank and manly letters of Colonel
O. T. Calhoun, Capt. W. 1>. Mars, and
( eneral H. II. Hemphill. They leave no
doubt on the minds of the people as to what
they will do in the matter of the petition
which was sent to the Legislature a year ago.
We are unable to see how any citizen, no
matter what his views maybe on prohibition,
could endorse any action looking to the deni!>i
nf iiu> f-iii/.on of his natural born right to
vote upon matters of public policy. If there
should l>c only one hundred men in Abbeville
L-oi.niy who want to vote upon the question
i>f prohibition, who will assume to deny thcan
that right?
The following circular letter was sent
Inst Monday to all candidates for the Legislature.
The replies to the same will explain

When speaking the plain truth Greenwood
is often accused of boiii^ conceited. In this
accusation you err. so when you read this]
fact please be a I'ttle more charitable. Green
wood has no farmers' elul>. We are glad that
she lias none, I localise it shows that she has 110 ;
scheming sorehead politicians. Why our intclli-ient
farmers will not see the object which
their local leaders have in view, and will persist
in Intoning to unscrupulous ollice seekers
is a source of'astonishment to us. If the
farmers could only see that the evils to which
li'gricnlturo is subject do not emanate from
pernicious laws but are almost enliiely the
result of their carelessness and bud management,
then would we hope for their redemp- !
tioii and dream of better days to come. Until I
they seek a remedy for their i!l$ elsewhere
than in politics we fear they will only liud
disappointment.

MAJ. 11A CON XOMISATKD.
Col. Mnddox?"I rise to nominate n distill- f
Kiiished citizen of Georgia?n innn whoisea- lu
pnl>le and who is honest. Ills history is :i part si'
of the history of (Jenrgia. I nominate the ni
lion. A. <>. Bacon, of l'il>l>."
Mr. K. I j. Pierce, of Iliehmond, seconded tlie
nomination in eloquent terms saying "if their
t ,imv,, i, is ;oi 11) w.'1-s wen I. <lt IWII
with him. si ml, though defeated, I ike I he Spartans
of oid, I hey would hear him home alolt
oil their unstained shield." ? ?
r;i:n. goudon's nomination*. U
Hon. Milton Candler, of PeKalb, after a re- P1
view of (ion. Gordon's record for the past
quarter of a century, placed him in nomination
amid cheers. in
Col. Dupont (iuerry, in nrinslnj* speech, seerinded
the nomination, ami kept the Con veil- .
lion in enthusiastic applause. J1Gov.
Smith shrouded the nomination, referring
to Gordon as the Chevalier Uayard of the
South, a knight without fear and without re- *
p roach. IJ
Mr. Clark Howell, of Pulton, certainly the
youngest member <if the convenilon taking
.'etive part in iis deliberations, if not the 11
youngest upon tl-e Moor, rose and also seconded
the nomination of <Jen. Gordon.
The vote then proceeded and resulted: Gor- E
don, i")2; liacon, 72.
till-: motion to ma icr unanimous. 1>
I iUr. W.HS'l: MOOiinc inninrnj Hint |?
formed our whole duly to our candidate. Wc 01
now have a duly to [terform sis 1 icmoeraf.s, .is c,
that duty is tosubm tj-'racefully and acquiesce r
wlili the majority o: the Democratic party of ,c
I Georgia.
Speaking for myself, I ilcsirc in tliis pres- ,
once to express my esteem, res poet and conil- 1
jilenco for ilie man who will boar tlic standard tl
iof the party to victory and who will be our
Governor for the next two years.
Asa licniocrat I leel that it is tlie duty of U
the minority to acijuicsco in tno will ol the *<
majority when fairly expressed. This is true
Jeli'ersoiiian Democracy.
This has been a bitter campaign. For my- p
self and those I represent, I desire that all illfeeling
should bo buried and peace and liar- M
nioiiy should prevail in our ranks, [Applause.]
Therefore, in pursuance with thceuslom and '
the us:iires of our State and National run von- ti
I ions, I move to inakethe nomination of (Jen- u
oral Gordon unanimous by aeeiamation.
;Grmt i pplause.l
Col. Muddox, oft."ha Itooija, heartily endorsed
ttie remarks of Mr, Walsh, and seconded the
motion to make unanimous.
LOST 11Y OXE VOTK.
Tlic motion was lost by two votes, which ''
were greeted with jeers and hisses. Tlic conn U
ties then began changing to Gordon. 1'res- ti
eutly the moiion to make unanimous was
again introduced. A single voice voted "no." 1
alid Die shouts of derision were mingled with cues
of "put him put," "who is lie?"
Mr S. W. Roberts, of flie Ilaneoek delegation,
stood 111 his chair and repealed that. Ilaneoek
voted "No." The changes in the conn- r
lies (hen continued, and when the vole was
aiinourccd It stood Gordon, 3:2, and Macon 10.
Tl le counties not changing to Gordon being ft
Ilaneoek, I votes; IJerrien, Haralson, >;

SCOTIl-'YIJff; THE NOMrNKI-:.
A comnittee of one from each Congression:iI
District *vas then appointed l?y tlio chair,
as follow j, to notify Gou. Gordon of his nuinination:
r
l-'irsi district, IT. T>art; Kecoml, W. A. flnrris;

1J. Harris; Seventh, If. 1). Capers; Kighth, It. I,.
McWhorter, Ninth, J. II. Nichols; Tell 111,
l'alrlck Walsh.
When (ion. Gordon entered Use Coil volition
on the arm of Mr. Walsh the delegates rose,
threw up their hats and shouted themselves
hoarse. After siiepee was procured General N
Gordon addressed the C'onveiilion in ihel'ol- q
lowing linking words of .statesmanlike advice;
"
This oecnrrencc is lo me one for very serious
thought as well as of ?:vat personal gratlliea- ..
lion. Profoundly grateful for litis liomina- '
lion, I r.m nevertheless, deeply Impressed fr
wit li a sense ol the r? sponsibllity which it im- tll
poses, li means el'-el ion to the olllcc ??l Chief
Kxecutivo of this state. The great majority
I of the circumstances under whieh it has liven
given have not only touched and tilled my .
heart to iis inmost core, but have placed me '<
underIhe su prettiest obligation to Ibis conii'.ling
people, The presence of this, perhaps
the laricst body of representative men ever
assembled in Georgia, renders a few practical n
suggestions not inappropriate. ..
At iio lime has it been more Important to['
impress on our people the Iiisuon of wisdom, ,v
justice and moderation. p
In a f ee country the free press ought to bo
a most potential factor, but it, too, must be
controlled by wisdom, justice and modern- a
lion. The press occupies the pulpit of poliI
tics, and must ho characterized by elevation
rectitude and purity.
| JJul should there be n misuse of this great i
agency, then the great corrective lies in Ihe
j wise ::so of the free ballot, ami t li is, too, must
, be controlled by wisdom, justice and modern|
lion.
Perhaps no greater'Service cottl J bo done by
I the press than to urge the people to vote in
| the selection of candidates just as diligently (
las in the election of otllcers.
I In a populargoveriinient, dang- rlie-s in pon- L

therefore is tho best friend of liberty who

I believe the application of scionco to ,
common lifo has, however, been in no di- '
rection so completo and so admirable, as
in horticulture and gardening. Life is ren- ,
derod wonderfully rich of late in the way
of productions of art of this sort; now j
fruit3, vegetables, trees, dowers. Most of
those who plant or enjoy those things do
not roalize that they are not the products
of nature at all, but are absolute creations
of mnn.
On the lawn before my window stands,
first, a Governor Wood cherry tree, ono of
tho wonderful propucts of the skill of Dr.
Kirtlaud. To the right spreads away a
vineyard, whore that delicious grape, the
Delaware, attests ine creative science 01

Delaware, Ohio; thoro are besides the
Lady grape, from the same wise hands, the
liickett's seedlings, the Rogers' hybrids,
and others that boar the honored names of
their creators. From tho little town o?
Dunveitb, in Indiana, I get these golden
and crimson catalpas, and many more exquisite
a (fairs, caused to exist by the scientific
skill and enthusiasm of Ii Y. Teas.
Are there any more glorious names in our
annals than those of A. J. and Charles
Downing, l'atriuk Barry, CoL Wilder, to
whom we owe so many of our choice berries,
apples, pears and other fruits, but still
more the wisdom to grow them in every
poor man's yard? Do you know why nearly
all tho grapes and berries you eat, and the
roses you enjoy, bear tho name of somo
person' It is, for tho most part, because j
the originator wishes to immortalize hiinselt
by giving tho world a now aud pleasant j
thing.
SCIENCE AXD SOCIETY.
But the relation of science to society is
most important in the way of establishing
social science; tho science of health, of better
government, of purer morais, of higher
uianiioo I, involving manners ana genua i
bearing; in tho way o? reform of prisons, j
of charities, of reformatories for tho young.
Tho contents of Tho Journal of Social I
Science run from tho public charities, to in-1
tornation.il codes, from health laws, to pub- j
lie parks; l'rom municipal government, to !
Improved methods of voting; from public
vacination, to laws that govern suicide;
from savings banks, to industrial co-operation;
from the case of vicious cbildron, to
extradition of criminals; from recreations
for the people, to the management of inebriates;
from professional ethics, to the
American civil sorviee; from race problems,
to disfranchisement for crime; from tho
rate of wagea, to papers concerning finance.
Here is a range covering all our relations to
each other, and to tho state; a scalo of topics
discussing every pliaso of human need,
and every class in society.
Tho other day I roceived a paper published,
as the heading informod me, in the
interest of whisky, tobacco and pork; a
trinity cot supposed to be especially inter- j
e3tod in hoalth, morals or the public intol.i*
gence. But this sheet had a column headed
"Soienca" That column hold matter, that

SCTE.VCE FOB THE YOUNG.
Ten years ago it w;is iliillcult to secure ,
support for two science journals. Now
every week "scienco" gets abundant hoaring,
giving us tho constantly accumulating
data of investigation. It is found even on J
tho tables of workmen of tho average sort;!
side by side with some technical journal of
mechanics, or the constructive or fine arts. '
The present ratio of increase of science cul- j
turo will enable us to say at the end of this '
century that our common education has on-;
tirely dopartod from the three traditional >
"Its," and has gone over to an education by
means of biology, physiology and tech-;
hology. Boys more and more aro indi- j
vidualizod, and educated for what thoy have '
an inherited bias. At the present ratio of I
progress one moro generation will have j
worked over tho grouuds of investigation [
and reduced data to laws, so that our schoola j
can give the young a sciontiiic education \
from the start. Tue trouble now i3 that I
the generation that is at work, tho toilers of j
to-day, can not begin ovor again and work |
from a new basis.
On morals the peculiar effect of the eu-;
croachments of a scientific education has;
been to shift tho ba-ii from authority to
natural obligation, it is tin lacctnata,
man of to day stands as inheritor of all I
that nature has accomplished In past eternal!
evolution that makos him resijonsiblei He \
is trustoo and temporary possessor of all
that eternity has achieved. It is summed
up anu embodk-d in him. As ho usos it, as I
ho keeps his trust, tho future is to take;
shape. Man shapes bis own future. Scieuco
makes much of man's power and littlo of
decrees. It places on him a heavy weight1
of obligation. Tho whole burden and drift
of physiology is higher morals." Tho open-:
ing up of purposo and plan in nature startles ;
tho student to nobler purposo himself. The j
meannesses of common life are closoly as- (
sedated with ignorance of the great things i
and great ideas in which wo play a part.? |

until the host and an American journalist,
who together had lingered on the lawn, entered,
when they found eleven just seated*
Instantly a sad choru3 arose, "Thirteen, ,

nalist, who said: "And I, who sit down ' last,
am the fated one; consider this chair
the abyss and me your Quintus Curttus." -JNicollni

Garden Parties of tlio Aristocracy. _ J2
Above all, now Is tho time for garden
parties. Chiswick is a delightful seat of the
duko of Devonshire on the banks of fho
Thames, which somo. years he lends to tha r
priuco of Wales on condition that his high- i
ness gives two great breakfasts a season.
Tha parties on Strawberry Hill are bistorical,
as well a3 thoso at Sion house and Os- vi
terley, the parks of the duko of Northumberland,
and the dowager duchess of Cleveland.
Tho nearest of theso is ten miles from London,
but people think nothing of driving out
and back between luncheon and dinner
Closer to town are the lodges Of the duke of
Argyll, tho earl of Airlie, and Lady Burdett
Coutts, and, noblest of all, Holland
house, with its memories mors
stately, oven than its architecture, and
more unfading than its far-famed landscape
and lawn. All these are thronged
with peoplo of highest rank and oldest name;
as many statesmen and soldiers and diplomatists
as butterflies of fashion, wits on
belles, or dowagers or dandies. Even tha
ihi'nwj nnon the crarduns of Bucking- r 'A
'I"1"-" r o - _
hnin palaeo soinotimes in July and invites
a fow thousands of her greatest subjects to '
afternoon tea. *
Those garden parties are unique In effect
and lovclir.e.sa. The women wear costumed
of tho lightest fabrics and most delicate
colors, appropriate in tint and texture for
a boll; the men are the best dressed and
the handsomest in the world; the lawns and
trees and gardons make the most charming
background; there are marquees and music,
carpets spread here and there on the grass;
sometimes an archery match or an outdoor ^
play, sometimes Punch and Judy under the
blossoms for tho children. The scene is
worthy of Watteau's daintiest pencil?

had been utilised as a breakfast table, stood
neartho window. On the side toward me I

It is not of tea that a mau displays as
much fortitude as did one who died last
week in >'ew York. Ho was superintending
the removal of somo machinery when
Lj foil under tho wheels of a freight-car
and had tho t!csh stripped from one of his

to ^ivo orders to his mon, and wrote
a ir.ossage to his wife to meet him on tho
arrival of a certain train. ' ! have mec

with my own hand." Un arriving at the
depot ho n as borne on a stretcher through
the wahin j-roora. As soon as ho saw his
wifo in tho crowd ho waved his hand to reassure
her, saying gayly, with a smila
"Horo I nm, Annie." When told that tho
limb must I a amputated, "All right," lie roplii-d,
"(July leave enough for me to ride
horseback with." The announcement, a few
hours later, that ho would not survive the
operation was receivod with perfect calmness.
"It's odd," he observed dryly, "that
after dodging bullets for four yo-irs in the
war, and after facing danger for twelve
years in and around mines, I should at last
be killed by a freight-car." The next morning
ho was d*ad, having retained his coumousnoss
and calmness to tho end.?>'e*f
