Robertson For the Senate.
By resolutions of our county and
several others Hon. J. W. Robert¬
son, of Habersham, has become a
candidate for the senate to succeed
General Gordon.
There is not in the broad con-
tines of the state of Georgia a man
who could rill the place with more
honor, dignity and benefit to the
people of Georgia than Col. Jim
Robertson.
Col. Robertson is a courtly gen¬
tleman of the old school and of the
old South ; broad-minded, cultured,
patriotic, conservative, and withal,
a splendid business man. There is
probably not in the whole South a
man w ho understands the vital pub-
lie questions now before the people
better than does Mr. Robertson.
Col. R. has been a life-long Dem-
and his services to the party
has at ail times been most excellent

1 he Kiinb th 11 tin sc robh\ is m
all times the political center of
Georgia, but the last few days has
seen it one solid mass of seething,
humanity; elbowing, jesticulating,
caucusing, lobbying, electioneering,
button-holing, and, in fact, plead-
mg one with another to help him
to be elected to such and such a
position, which he and only he can
till. The:e are to be a number of
Sohcitors-generai and Judges of
the Superior Court elected for the
ensuing four years, and candidates
and their friends are at work to
cute tbeii election h i c 1, is piop-
ei and solicit out \\ E do have a
LOT of candidates.
1 am glad to see an honored and
talented folio count} man, Colonel
Jhn Robeitson, in the ince for sen-
alo 1 to succeed Goidon. 1 he can-
cus of the people at Baldwin last
Monday, and the resolutions pub-
lished elsewhere in this issue put
forth by the best people of Haber-
sham. White and Banks counties,
! n asking him to allow his name to
p e used j n tills connection, is tlie
the reason for this. Col. Robert-
son did not go into the lace of his
own accord; his friends put him in.
He is not a politician, but being a
brainy man is his only excuse for
IIis candidacy is meeting with a
deal ot favor and support,
Colonel Robertson will accept
the office it it is tendered him, but
he will not scramble for it. He is
away, and lias been since yester-
day attending business engage-
m
T 1 here ere are are few tevv men men who w 1 o would wouJd
treat such a chance as lie has so
lightly.
The other candidates, Steve Clay,
E. P. Howell, and Atkinson, be-
side some others, are working hard
for the plum. Gov. Atkinson an-
nounced himself for the position
this morning in the Kimball House
iobb V . Atkinson has been a sue-
cessful governor, but his ambition
is nXlTf is a - someJ-Tnu” politi-
cal boss, but he is not tall enough
reach the coveted persimmon.
Robertson is the only man in
Georgia today who could fill the
position of senator in the manner
that responsible position should be
filled to r . dound to our honor and
good.
Without any flattery, whatever,
intended, I believe Colonel Robert-
son to be the best authority in Geor-
gia on the all important silver ques-
tion, and I believe him to be the
peer of any man in the United States
on all public questons.
The election will take take place
one week from next Tuesday, but
the tight will be in the caucus. The
Democrats will nominate in a few
days. Colonel Robertson’s chances
are good.
Charlie Bass, M. T. Perkins,
Mayor Fuller, Captain Wilson, of
Clarksville, Jim Adams, of Demo-
rest, and hosts of other friends, are
here working for Robertson.
The legislature assembled today,
and I expect our friend Jack Bow¬
den to make old Habersham heard
on all questions affecting the good
of our people. Jack is a little man
but he lias a good brain and a big
mouth, and he is not afraid to open
it in defense of the people, or I am
fooled. W. A. F.
Robertson in the Race.
i his morning^ when the Macon
train arrived, Colonel J. W . Rob-
ertson, who was on board, was
met by a delegation from Banks,
White, Franklin, and Habersham
counties headed by Colonel John
I oil of Habersham, who acted as
spokesman. Colonel Robertson
was asked to allow the use of his
name for the United States senate,
and was assured of the earnest sup-
port of northeast Georgia. Col.
Robertson was seen in the lobby
of the Kimball about two o’clock
and asked about his candidacy.
“Yes, lam in the race” said he

For Stock Law.
An election has been ordered by
ordinarv Hill for stock law in Toe-
coa district to be held Nov, 9, 96.
We think stock law a good thing
and would advise our friends to go
£h e po q s and vote for it.
With stock law we will have
better horses and cattle and the far-
mers will be at less expense in
keeping their fences in repair, be-
cause as matters now are it is quite
an expense to keep up long lines of
fence around individual lands, pas-
tures, crops, etc., and with stock
law they would only be compelled
to f ence horse lots and pastures.
Let us have no fence.

RESOLUTIONS FOR ROBERT-
SON.
Four Counties Urge Him to Seek
the Senatorship.
Aalanta Constitution:
Baldwin, Habersham county,
Octobor 26.—A meeting composed
of 1,200 persons was held at Bald¬
win, on the border of Habersham
and Banks counties, it being known
that Chas. F. Crisp, our candidate
for Senator, was no more, for the
purpose of advocating the claims
of Hon. J. W. Robertson, of Hab¬
ersham, for the office of United
States senator from the state of
Georgia. The meeting was open¬
ed by Mr. Charles F. Bass.
On motion Mr. J. P. Fort, of
the county of Habersham, was re¬
quested to take the chair. On mo-
tion. ^ir. Joe Erwin was requested
to act as secretary.
A committee was appointed to
prepare proper resolutions for the
consideration of the large assembly
present.
The following report was re-
ceived and unanimously adopted
w ith much enthusiasm :
“Whereas, By the hand of death
our state has been bereft of our be-
loved statesman, Chas. F. Crisp,
w hom we all with one accord ex-
pec ted to represent the state of
Georgia in the United States sen-
ate ; now, we, a portion of the cit-
i/ens of the counties of Habersham,
]$ an k s> White and Franklin, desire
to present to the members of our
state legislature £ ’ soon to assemble
nar e G f our fellow citizen, Jas.
w Robertson for election to the
nosition of United States senator.
There is no citizen of our state who
j s more j n acc0 rd with the mass of
our people upon the great national
questions that are before us. His
capacity, his integrity, his abilities
and character qualify him for any
office in the gift of the people. A
sterling democrat, a good neighbor,
a sincere friend, an honest and up-
right man, he was one of the first
men of our state who urged the
placing of silver on an equality
with gold. While advocating the
cause of the people for thirty years
he has never sought office, We,
his neighbors and friends, present
him for the position with a know-
ledge in our hearts that if chosen he
will so represent our people that
every citizen of the state will men-
tion the name of our senator with
pride. commit-
ResoIved further, That a
tee of nine from t h e counties of
of Habersham, Banks, White and
p ran kh n be appointed by the chair
1 of which Mr. J. P. Fort shall be

Bonds Within Forty Days.
Comptroller-General Wright is
in receipt of a large number of let*
ters from all parts of the State ask*
ing what time the bond of county
officers should be made.
Before the date of the election of
county officers was changed from
Tan. i to Oct. i the time for mak¬
ing new bonds was within fort days
after the election.
The law changing the date of
election did not affect this law and
the bond of all county officers of
the State should be made within
forty days after the election.—*

“The Code.”
Des Moines Review.
About the most absurd thing, it
seems to the writer, in the medical
profession, is some dreadful thing
the M. D.’s call “the code.”
We do not know what “the
code” looks like, we never saw it;
but it must be terrible to look
upon, as it prevents many physi¬
cians from doing that which rea¬
son, humanity and common sense
would seem to dictate they should
do; that is, tell people what they
can do along certain lines. Yes,
advertise! That’s what we mean.
It’s a fearful thing to say, isn’t it?
If “the code” should catch us at ljt,
the consequences would be terri*
ble. <
Leaving out all the self-styled
“specialists,” there are many men
in general practice in every city
who are specialists in something,
some in preference to one disease,
some another. You are afflicted
by some one of the diseases, which
some one of the doctors in your
city is especially successful! in
curing.
But you don’t know he is.
The doctor knows it, but his
fear or “the code” is so great that
he do-n’t dare print it in your news¬
paper and let you know it.
Like the woman in the Bible,
you spend your money on many
physicians, but get no better—-in
fact grow worse—finally you die.
The doctor who could have saved
your life said never a word — of
course,he knew nothing about you,
you know nothing about him. He
did not advertise! We have often
thought that the doctors of this
country were going to have a lot to
answer for one of these days.
Sometime they are going to be
called on for an interview with a
gentleman known as Saint Peter.
They will strike a case where
“the code’' won’t work.
“Did you do everything you pos-
sibly could when on earth to relieve
euffering, to cure disease, to save
the lives of your fellow men?”
This is the question they will be
asked . And the trembling M- D.
w ill answer :
“Yes, sir, I think I did.”
“Did you let everybody know
vour power to heal disease? Did
yoU tell to all the people the fact
fbat you were able to relieve their
suffering? I understand that you
are greatly skilled in the treatment
G f pneumonia, and yet a great
many peo ple died in your city last
year from, this disease. Had you
taken pains to let all these people
know you could cure them? ; In
short, did you advertise?”
Then the M. D., who has contin¬
ued to tremble with an. exceeding
great trembling during the course
of these remarks will reply 2
“But, Saint Peter, you must re¬
member ‘the code.’ It did not al-
low the doctors to advertise.”
“Code, nothing,! Is not human
life more than any code? Go be¬
low ; I’m busy.”
