Gailford ami Alamance together
make a Senatorial District—one of
the political divisions ot the State.
The District is entitled to two Sena-tors.
Gailford is not entitled to a
Senator: Alamance is not entitled
to a Senator. Neither the Demo-cratic
party of Gailford, nor the
Democratic party nf Alamance
ouglit to be seperately entitled to
nominate a candidate for Senator.
The Democratic party of the whole
district should bold a convention at
some euitable place either at Gib*
sonville or Company Shops, and
nominate two aaitable candidates
for the Senate.
If Gailford should nominate her
man, and Alamance nominate her
man, acting seperately, it might
tarn oat that the Alamance man
doesn't soft the Gailford Democra-cy,
or that the Gailford mau doesn't
eait the Democracy of Alamance.
When the two candidates are
clioHen by the two counties in joint
convention, the party in each coun-ty
will consider both of them the
party candidate for the District,
and the Democracy of each coanty
will stand np to both. Let ns then
have a joint convention. We have
tried the other way to the defeat oi
the separate nominee of Alamance
twice, once in 1874, aud again iu
1878.
ID 1874, Guiltord alone nomina-ted
Col. J. T. Morehead, and Ala
maoce alone uomiuated Dr. Alex.
Wilson. At the election, the Guil-tord
Democrats, not feeling them
selves at all bound to stand by the
Alamauce mau through thick aud
thin, as they did by their man
wnom they uominaled, let Dr. Wil-son
go by the board and elected
their owu man and a Republican,
Mr. Holton. It would have been
different, and Dr. Wilson would
also have been elected if Col. More
head aud Dr. Wilson had both been
nominated by a joint convention of
the party ol the two counties and
both been put into the same boat
together.
Let us have a joint convention.
Again in 1878, Col. Scales, whose
untimely ile«ih we all greatly de-i
»rt, xi- nominated by Gailford
..' ;., ■• id Ool. liiilt iiy Alamance
,. ., rite do . .'til Democracy
no , II,g bound by their nun.ii
tiou tu go for any one tor Senator
but Scales, elected Scales, anil in-stead
of standing up to Holt, not
having anything to do with his
nomination, elected an independent
Democrat, voting by tlie dozen for
him and Scales on the same ticket;
so that twice Guilford has elected
two of her citizens Senators at the
same time, aud Alamance's Demo-crats
were benten each time. The
first time the party lost a member
iu the Senate.
Can Alamance stand it agaiu ?
Can Guiltord stand it again !
Can the Democratic party stand
it any longerl
Let us have a joint Convention,
and let that convention select two
men ; one Irom each county, and
the two will certainly be elected,
not only that, but the ticket being
led by candidates thns selected, will
iusure a party victory out aud ont
in each of the counties. If Hie
Democrats of Alamance want the
Democracy of Guillord to vote wiib
unauiuiity. tie the Guilford-Demo
ctacy to them with rods ot steel.
Give the Dtuiocracy of Guilford a
showing at your man, in a nominat-ing
convention iu which they par-ticipate
as equals iu the selection,
then I hey will be bound and feel
bound by those moral bonds that
always biud tberu so well to the
man they nominate. The Guilford
Democrac, always slick up lo Un-man
they nominate
Alamance has always done hei
duty towards Guiltord in the eleo
tion of Senators ; bnt it might turn
out that Guilford, if she acts aione
this time, will pot up a man that
the democracy ot Alamance, lor
some reason, would rather not sup
port, mad onaogh ol I hem may, by
not voting or by voiiug lor some-body
else, cause the defeat of the
Guiltord man.
But if the Alamance democracy
is bound by the action of a joint
convention of the two counties,
they will do, as they always do-stick
to the iiomiuec-8 to a man.
Let us have unanimity Let na
have harmony in.the tanks. Let
us have a District Convention. It
will help Hanoock and English. Ii
will insure Ibe success ol the whole
ticket in Guilford aud In Alamance,
Vox.
s. al : Distriel lh< - ibe
power iu a joint Convention to
nominate both candidates, will any
one say that this wonld be just, fair
or right t
Each coanty knows its strongest
man : one who might carry Ala-mance
might lose Gailford and
vice versa ; bat when each county
puts up its ticket with the seal of
its approbation upon it, and says
to the other here are our men, tnoy
are democrats, oar strongest mcD,
now bring np the Democracy of
each coanty and let as elect them.l---t
There is a farther objection, and
perhaps the most potent. The
candidates have always.been chosen
by each county separately, then,
why change now, when there is an
important election just ahead, when
we need harmony, unity and no
fault finding,
Alamance may rest assured the
democracy of old Guilford will
rally to a man to the democratic
candidates, and it will be thought
uo fault of hers if the ticket is
lost, either in whole or in part.
Let Alamance nominate her man,
let Guilford nominate hers—as they
have done heretofore: theu let both
work to secure their election and
ail will be well. It is not a good
time to make changes and ezpeii-meuts.
Let us do as we have al-ways
doue, and everything will be
right.

The army is laboring [under
disadvantages, and has been noed
unlawfully at times in the jndg
meat of the people, (in mine cer-taiily,)
and we have lost a great
deal of the kindly feeling which the
community at large once felt for
no. 'It is time to stop and unload.'
Our regular army has little hold
upon the affections of the people oi
to-day, and its superior officers
should certainly, as far as lies in
their power, legally aud with .right-eous
intent, aim to defeod the
right, which to us is the law, and

It has often happened that tbe
best things of the greatest men
are attributed to others who are
wholly incapable of them. The
opinion was industriously propaga-ted
and accepted by a great, many as
true that Hamilton wrote the Fare
well Address of Washington, but
the evideuce is conclusive which
shows that every word of that im-mortal
production came from Waah-ington
himself, and Hamilton could
not have written it any more than
he could have made a world. Some
of Jackson's most characteristic
papers, bearing the full impress of
his ov\ i tDiud, were habitually cred-ited
to persons of far inferior sbili-ty.
Wbeu it was charged against
Jefferson that he wrote Logan's
speech he solemnly declared that

more nor less than just the thiug he

qnivocal clearness, you may lie

is unjust to bastardize No40 by as-signing
to it an origiu totally differ-ent
from the true oue.
Why should my opinion be asked
or volunteered on General Baucock
as a civilian . Anybody else who
has watched his life is as good a
judge us I, and there are thousands
who know him much better. But
since the question is propounded I
will answer, subject to fair correc-tion,
that he has in him the highest
and best qualities of a republican
luler. I think his fidelity to
sound principles, coupled with
his sound judgment, will
entitle him to rank well
with the great Presidents ol former
times. I do not compare him with
Washington, for the grandeur of
that character is and will remain
forever unapproachable, but I do
say that Washington, if placed in
Ins situation, would have acted pre
cisely as he did. His patriotism
has not the impulsive ardor ot
Jackson's; but his fidelity to the
troth, his love ol justice nnd his
Morn ot wrong are quite as nnmis-lakable.
He is not a doctrinaire
like ,1,-ffersoii, lor his aa**/ life has
left him no time to study the ab-stract
philosophy of polltles,bnt his
practical good sense knows the
right intuitively and always catches
the nearest way to do it. If he be
elected, the ability of his adminis-tration
will inspire universal re-spect

Editor Patriot: As the " best"

suggest tbe name ot J. L. Ogbnrn
of Summerueld, North West part
of the county, as a very proper per-son
to represent tbe county in the

a plalu farmer, we think this will
not operate to bis prejudice in tbe
county. A better, or a stronger

SUHMERFIELD.
A Horrible Crime in Georgia,
A Mother Deliberately Poisons
Nine ol her Children and
Then Takes the
I' a I nl Drug
Herself.
[By Telegraph to the Pattiot-l
NEW YORK, August 0.—A spe-cial
from Americas, Ga., gives the
following particular of a crime
committed in Webster county, gO
miles west of that place on '.he
evening of August 4Ui
It states that Woodson L. Gun
nells, a well to-do Inrmer, left home
to visit a sick neighbor, and on re-turning
at 10 P. M. lound bis wile
aud nine, of ten, small children, in
a horrible, sleep from th_ effects of
morphia, a-lntieioteied in lemonade
by Mrs (. "inells.
There i iO doubt sh, pi pared
the fatal overage and administer-ed
it to the children and drank of
it herself with fatal intent.
Mr. Gunnclls was married to
this his second wife 7 years ago,
and lias by her four children ; the
other six are by his previous wife,
and as far as is known the step-mother
has been a dutiful and
kind parent to them.
Mrs. Gunnells is from a highly
respectable family. A
note in the hand writing of
Mrs. Gunnells, found under a mor-phia
bottle, on the table, in which
she stated that she had deliberate-ly
administered the morphia to the
children, and herself, with the in-tention
of destroying them all, and
that she was not actuated by any
domestic trouble.
Owing to the lapse of time be-fore
medical aid arrived. Mrs.
(inn nells' case was hopeless. She
lay on her back on the bed in an
unnatural sleep, produced by the
fatal drug, and all efforts of physi-cians
and sympathising friends to
restore her were futile.
The childrens cases were not so
hopeless, and by unceasing efforts
of taw physician some ol them
showed signs of returning con-sciousness.
All ol the stepchildren and some
of the yonuger children are now
thought to be out of danger.
The youngest—an inlant of a
few months—was saved by the
fact that its mother could not
introduce enough ot the fluid
dowu its little throat to de
stroy life. It is probable three ol
the children will die—these three
are presumed to have drank mote
freely of the deadly beverage than
the others.
The despatch concludes, "all
evidence taken nogatives the idea
ot insanity and points directly to a
cool aud deliberate determination
on part ot the hitherto quiet, kind
hearted lady to take away her owo
life aud that of her family, aud at
the same time conceal from the
world the cause of her act.
Political Soundings.
Editor Patriot: I notice in your
daily of August 2nd, an article
signed " Many Voters," in which
tbe anthor seconds my suggestion
ol bringing the name of Lev! M.
Scott, Esq., forward for Senator
on tbe part of Guilford county.
1 am glad to have the endorse
meat of "Many Voters" in this
matter, and 1 again say that I do
not think our friends can get a safer,
more cool and prudent man and yet
a good lawyer to help get our
laws (already enacted) in a better
shape, as well as his superior
judgment In such business as may
come before the next General As-sembly.
Bat "Many Voters" did not men-tiou
my other mau, Col T. M. Holt.
If Alamance will give osCol Holt^—
he and Scott in tbe Senate and Dr.
Nereus Mendenball from the west,
and some other good mau from the
east of the county, for tbe lower
house I am satisfied you will hear
old Guilford thunder on tbe first
Tuesday'of November.
Yours very truly,

How the Family Servants
Recoivod the News
Mr. Russell, Gen. _ Haaeoeh's
brothr-r-in-law, states that when old
Aunt Betsy, a colored servant in
his tamilv at St. L-uis, was inform-ed
that Geu Hancock had been
nominate,1, she respouded: "For
gracious ! 1 am oner rejoiced to hear
it. What church is be goiug to
join!" Sbe thought nomination
men:.' couvereum. Another color-ed
sei vaut gave a different meaning
to the word. Her main thought
was tor Ann Lee, the old colored
woman in IfcB floaci ''- household,
where she had b, . » gren
many years \ "The u-ueral, I sup-pose',
couldn't help it," said the
other servaut. "I recktn uow he'll
have to give up 'lonsekeeping and
go to boarding, but what then will
become of poor AUL Leo t"
Editor Patriot: In your issue
of tbe 2nd iust. appears an article
with the above caption, and signed
by D. G. Neelley. Now we do not
wish to provoke any discussion with
the Colonel, nor accuse him of any
intentional wrong, but we do think
he is very much mistaken in the
facts, when be asserts that South
Guillord has furnished but one
Representative to the State Legis
lature in lorty years. If we are
uot very ignorant of the history ol
Guiltotd, or sadly mistaken as to
the geography of the coanty. South
Guillord has furnished quite a
number of Representatives within
tbe last torty years; certainly a
much larger number thau North
liuiltord.
Where will the Colonel locate
Nathan nont, George C. Menden-hall,
William Doak, Calvin John
ston, C. H. Wiley, R W. Glenn, A.
S. Holton. G. W. Welker, David
Hodgin, Jonathan Harris, J. W.
Gilmer, W. M. Wiley, Nereus Men-denball,
C. J. Wheeler, and perhaps
others whose names I cannot now
recall.
Will some one inform us how
many Representatives North Guil-lord
has lornisbed dnring these
forty years. The citizens olGuilford
have always been a homogeneous
n-ople and never allowed sectional
iineiests lo divide them. If North
Guillord has sent more men to our
Stale Legislative halls thau South
Guilford has, as the Colonel would
seem to infer, it was because she
had be'ter material out of which lo
make that selection. If on the
other baud South Gnilford has sent
more mm to legislate lor ns than
North (iuiltoid. It is because she
has been more tortiiuate in produc-ing
gteal men. and uot that any
injustice has been doue to the other
half of the county. Our interests
are one and insepcrable.
It may be that we do not under-stand
what territory in Guilford
the Colonel alludes lo in speaking
of South Guilford, bat if be refers
only to tbe central southern part,
, „,l.,,v ,„^. tbe rirs,,sul Gn.dell
neighborhood, we still think he has
failed to make a correct count, lor
that part of Guilford certainly has
reason to be proud ol the number
of distinguished public, men sue
has produced.

August 4, 1880.
J. M Sutton for Sheriff of
Guillord.
JXilor Patriot: We suggest the
name of J. M. Sutton tor Sheriff ol
Guillord county. He has already
auaounced himself a candidate. Is
it uot the doty of eld Guilford to
unfold her banners for J. M. Sutton
lor sheriff: who served his county
laithfnlly and bravely tbjougb the
late war.
Wbo in the county can show a
better war record ! Secondly , -I.
M. Sutton was a deputy nuder Boon
aod Stafford for a niimb-r of years
ind is well qualified lo fill the
place. He is a good business man,
and is well known in the county.
His character is nnimpeachable,
ami be can carry more votes or aa
many, as any man iu Ihe county.

Mr. Editur .—In my fast letter I
spoke on civil sums reform so-call-ed,
and feel Inclined tu farther ex-amine
in-tu tbe subjeck tu see as
to the soundness ov that main
plank in Mr. Fraud Haymf plat
form; that plank sur, that soft
plank that be aud bis soft publikin
friends sich as Stanley Matthews
& Co, thought would du to bam-boozle
the Soethern people with.
Why sur that, tbey thought wus tu
be the soothiu oil. Yes tbe heal-

the brniso mails by the outrageous
fraud put upon ns and the whole
nation sur by them aud their card
managers in that Game ov 8 to 7.
You know that wus played in the
city ov Washington. Why, sur,
dont tbe great American heart at
large leel more aod more satisfied
from tbe developments sur, brought
oat by tbe committees that oar
Samivel wus elected, wus entitled
to his sent, most assuredly it is the
case. Sum may say this is a dead
issue—but no sur, it is ov tbe past
it is true but we could not forget
"easily a man who has cheated ns
badly or at al en as small a thing as
a horse swap, than much less can
we forget a set ov men or a party
that cheated ns out ov onr right
tally elected President : bnt it be-comes
as tu watch them the closer
or they will cheat us out ov anut her
one—but Mr. Bdttor, we will not
take any more ov the Radical So-natas
court in owru.
Well! Bet how about that plankl
I showed in my last thai it wns not
sound, and now lets see if 1 cant
show that it has got wus
and wus, yes, rotten' sure.
Nut long ago we saw it slated in
the press that a certain officer,
the Radicals sppibted 1 suppose,
went to the clerks -even the lady
clerks—iii the treasury department
ov the Government sur, and de-manded
certain con: hnlions, jay
$5, ov each oue tu b used ov
course in electing Qarueld—and
upon the lady's n monstratlng that
she had not been there long and
needed all she wus making tu
support her children, she was
threatened with expulsion. Again
wo are told thai the leaders
proposed levying a lax ov two
per cent upon tl,e salary ov
all the lady clerks and OV course
fore- them in Bubu ll or oil
theil heads like many are and have
been done hereabouts and others
put in win. had more influence and
would pay mole tribute 1 suppose.
Aud so they go on,now, have I not
shown prett] conclusively that tins
plunk in Hayes' reform platjorm is
not only rotten Inn has been a mere
larce. Who Is Mr. .Schnrtz, the
officer who we are told is going tu
stump or make so many speeches
in the West iu behalf ov Garfield
and Arthur.
And tu cum nearer home agin
there's oar postmaster, sur, in town,
besides the iiietnrs pal np in the
post ollis as a aorter ovaeleetion.
eering project, he isoi.e ov the very
busiest ov the publicans all ahoiil.
Why sum folks think when we are
in town that the postmaster is
