lean on nobody, ask no favors, but
forgo ahead. Yes, they forge ahead
aucl carve their owji way iu the baitlo

are all poor, but are independent and
6uccessful. I don’t mean to say they
are poverty etrickea, but X never knew
a Candler who Vv’as rich, iiiehes are
not theiv goal. 1 know of two genera
tions of these Candlers and they are all
aliiie—the girls and the boya-^ahke to

‘‘vientlemen of tho Banks Connty
Ouardo, you wiil jjlea^e to right face.”
It was during the long winter of 1861-
whoa we were in winter quarters at
Centervilla, Va., we boys used to go
doY/a occasionally to hear Captain Can
dler driil his company. This Captain
Cfind.er was the faiher of our nest
Governor, and like all the other Cand
ors. had his own ways and methods.
Ho was a CheK^terfield in manners, a
otonewa I in patriotism and was never
known to use any profane language or
relate a vulgar anecdote. His polite-
n^s was intuitive. He conldn’bhelp it.
‘Gentlemon of the Banks County
Cxuards, please to give me your atten-
tion. I hold in my hand an order from
tno coionol commanding directing me
to take you on picket to Mason’s Hill
tomorrow morning at sunrise and that
you provide two days’ rations for that
service. I trust that it wilJ be your
pleasure to comply with that order. ”
All his commands were poiite requests
and evc^u the rudest of his men were im
proved an d refined in their manners and
conv^ation by association with him.

head and thanked them when tho drill
was over.
I reckon tjiese Candlers were or
iginally Chandlers, for I lind no Cand
lers in my biographies. Probably the
ancestor of tliis Georgia branch got dis«
gusted with those fanatical fellows up
north who abused us so and he, drop*
ped a letter from hia name and boycot
ted the whole concern. .E have met and
, domiciled with these Candlers in Geor
gia and ^A^issifisijipi. and they are alike
‘ in strength and force of character and
good citizenship. They use no cor-
rup^ meth^ gain their ends.
or teachers,
^i^^FCougress.’tney rank their ).lacea
without the aid of rings, or schemes, or
promises. I knev/ some of these Cand*
lers away back in the forties, at Nnck*
odlsville, when the Pigeon Koost gold
mme was considered an Eldorado and
a remnant of the Cherokees were still
hanging around. The fact is our Alien
came pretty near being an Indian, for
Old Mrs. Ira?cal was his godmother, and
t>l:o had li\el a.i.o:ig the Indians. Her
Bou married John Bidge’s daughter,
the ijrincess of the tribe. His cousin,
Milton Candler, looks more like an In
dian than a white man, and all of them
have the stoicism of the raco.
_\vnne Tuey aro all devoted to their
kindred and to their moral principles of
their ancestors, yet strange to say they
have separated in their religious faith,
for some are }3aptists and some are
Methodists and some Presbyterians.
But whatever they are they are that all
over and whatever they do is done
well.
rSo now let rings and combinations
take a back seat for a while and let the
people speak aud Colonel Candler will
go into office with the old time majority
oxau,uou, ana tnero wm oe a reuniou
of the old time Democracy. The rugged
honesty of the man will satisfy’and
gratify tho Populists eveivwhere and
all dissensions \vill be buried. He has
alreadyspokon for economy and lower
taxes and he means it. The truth is
that our taxes have got to be a burden
too great to bo borne, and every legis*
lature adds to it. I remember when th^
rato was only 10 cents on a hundred dol
lars, and now it is ten times that in the
country aud twenty times in a town or
city. Bome strong mind has got to take
hold of this thing and stop it. We
want a Moses to lead the people out of
their despondency. They have almo^i
•despaired of ever seeing purity in State
politics again and the late ’possum de-
bauch at Newnan, gives no harbinger
of improvement. ®
But Judge Pite said today that tlif
power of theso political combinations
f’oad nor dormant, aud that
while the voice of the people was al-
^ ^ov Candler, it was
sfTiTpcssibie to cisfeat him in a nomi
nating convention. County conventions
can atiil be packed by shrewd poli
ticians and the only remedy is to ha.ve
primaries jn every militia di.'^trict on
the same day. Bings may pack one
convention, but they can’t pack ten or
n dozcu in each county ou the same
aay.
-riendfl, Homan?, counttymen! Let
us all awake to the magnitude of the
situation and place sentinels on the
watchtower.-? and see tu U that honest
methods are uped in the next election.
Let the dead i ast bury its dead, but jet
us take care of the future, and as Col.
Candler once before united tho people
of his district and crushed independent-
ism and brought political harmony oi^^
of chaos, so ho will now compass a
wider field and r;;store harmony tu the
torn factions of our Georgia democracy.

Boston, (Special).--The sum total of
the new features in ihe pro^,,ra nme of
tho textile trouble^j is the shutting
down of the Cabot Hill at Brunswick,
Me., because of the ^desertion of help in
sympathy with thg^ striking weavers,
and the announ'ce,ment that a small
mill of the Social ?‘lanuficturing Com
pany, at WoonaocI:«t, ii. L, would be
TOID IN A FARAGRAP'H.
The Philadelphia (Fa.) Timas says
Wa^biBnton,
L). C., Qei*verGu Ui Acotyi'S, av ri.a»«JV»c«-
tion Hall, under the auspice's of the
Evangelical Alliance.' He took for his
Bubjeot, “The Mormons aud the Way
to Suppress Them.” He said: “The
subject which I have chosen may seem
an 'anDocessary one, but the dangers it
threatens make its consideration most
important. According to the official
accounts from the Mormon Propaganda
it lately received 65,000 converts each
year—a number almost incredible. It
has beside its nominal members 300,000
regular communicants.
*‘Iho Mormons, though essentially
the same as formerly, do not carryout
the old plan of conversion. They now
visit the houses of i)er8onsin pairs, and
are very similar in their methods to tho
followers of Moody. They present a
card on gaining admittance and pro
ceed to enumeriite the articles of faith,
which, as they are written, do not seem
so extravagant. They are careful not
to give offence, and, having won favor,
can obtain a satisfactory hearing.
Their hearers, finding no objection to
their mild, religious statements, be
come less horrified, oftentimes btjcom-
ing members of the Mormon Church in
spite of its atrocities.
“The Mormon faith in itself is to be
dreaded, but the probability of its un
healthful influence is still worse. The
State of Utah, though admitted into the
Union by promising to abandon polyg-
any, is now governed by ihe followers
of Smith, and as their religion is uni«*
versally adopted the State will make no
laws to destroy it. But the danger does
net cease hero. The State of Utah has
the right to send tTo Senators to Wash
ington. Two Mormons are, therefore,
living at the Capital with thoir wives
and admitted into our most respectable
American society. The danger of this
is obvious.- More than once social in
tercourse has resulted in the ultimate
conversion of ChristiaustoMormonism.
Many who have settled or visited Utah
began to worship in these pagan
churches because it was stylish to b«
iUor^ona in that’~~colintry,''au'<I 'tiieu
ruination soon followed.
“Another danger resulting in tho
power of Mormonisn in Utah is its po
litical strength. Even now nothing
could be done in the Senate against it
without being ei.rougly opposed by tho
two Senators just mentioned. ]a the
Slate itself no one but a Mormon will
be received favorably. It is beyond
doubt that Mormonisjn is spreading.
They have recently established two
headquartora in Mississippi, one in
Athens, Ala,; one in Tennessee, and
several in New York. New Jersey and
other localities near by. Even our
own State contains many Mormon con
verts. They are now erecting schools,
academies and even universities to
spread their infamous doctrine. ”
Wife Sliirdercr Hanged.
Edward Shannon, the wife mur derer,
has been sentenced to be hanged on
February 11th, at Wheaton, III., by

thing to say, ha trombiingly rose aud

reau of Ordnance, and Judge Advocata
General Lemley, appeared before the
Senate committee on nara! afiairs on the
19th. The Secretary said in response to
questions that the Navy Department
had prepared full plans and specifica
tions calling for an armor plant under
the last naval appropriation bill, and
that estimates on the cost of land,
tools and machinery necessary to equip
the plant had been made. The bids
were to be opened on the 29th instant,
and he thought several bids would be
made.
Secretary Long said also that in view
of the report of the committe which he
had appointed to consider the question
of a government armor plant, upon tne
great cost and delay it would involve,
he had- entered i-nto further negotia
tions with private armor plants, now
furnishing armor for other ships, and
he believed that ho could make a con
tract for the supply of armor plate for
the Ill'nois, Alabama and. Wisconsin,
now. under course of construction,
which would be ready whenever the
ships were ready to receive it, at the
rate of $400 per ton. The secretary
recommended, in view of the circum
stances, that an arrangement to this
effect be made.
From the Secretary’s statement, cor
roborated by statements by Commo
dore Hitchborn and Captain O’Neill, it
appears that the cost of a government
plant, properly equipped, would be from
83,500,000 to $4,500,000. He said that
tlieir-estimate included all machinery
for making armor-plate, guns and pro-
iectilee, and added that if tho govern
ment adopted the policy of providing
its own plant no aimor could be expect
ed from such plant for about three
years. The committee has taken no
action upon Jhe armor-plate matter,
and it is considered prob.ible that the
whole question will receive attention in
that connection.
