CORRESPONDENCE ON THE SUBJECT
feet :'een Chairman WhatUy, of the Vopu-
Bk lists and 1 hairraau Hamilton, Os the
Democratic Par'y.
The populists of Floyd county will
have representation at the polls.
The old cry of fraud will not be
heard in the coining elections.
When the democratic deluge over
takes them they will have to flee to
the mountains, for they will have no
subterfuge of fraud to fall back upon.
Below is the correspondence be
tween ChairmanWhatley.of the popu
lists, and Chairman Hamilton, of the
democrats, that effectually disposes of
the matter. There need be no more
hue and cry on that line. Here are
the communication and the ansxyer :
Rome, Ga., Sept. 14, 1896.
Hon. Harper Hamilton, Rome, Ga :
As there has been considerable com
plaint among many of this county in
the past of frauds perpetrated in our
elections, and without discussing
whether or not such has been the case.
I desire you. as chairman of the execu
tive committee of the democratic party
of Floyd county' to co operate with me,
the chairman f the executive commit
tee of the people’s party of Floyd
county, in the enforcement of the fol
lowing agreement. , That in every
militia district where the justice of the
peace holding the election is a democrat,
the people’s party shall be represented
by onp manager clerk, and jVdca
versa,, Where the justice of peace
holding the election is a populist, the
democrats shall have one manager and |
one clerk. Said managers and clerks to
be chosen by the member of the county
executive committee of the militia dis
trict in which 'such' appointment is
made. , ’ l id 11 ' IJ,I! 1 ’' 11
Believing that as wUI usllj, fai’pf
an honest election, I make the above
proposition, hoping by our united
efforts we may guarantee to the voters
of Floyd county a free ballot knd fair
count, and thus remove from our
county |pyen . the. .appeayanpe of dis
honetety or ifraud. ': J . t , 1 ‘
Hoping this will meet your appro
bation and awaiting your immediate
resppnse, I am most ■ t

clerk.”
It is our desire to treat fairly with
your party and .a' t with you in any .
Way so as to insure a fair election.

of a banker's license tax froinW. J.
West and J. R. Cantrell by the mayor
and council.
At the last meeting of council it was
decided that' those two gentlemen
were liable for the tax.
Mr. Eubanks has discovered, so he
claims, that the tax act of 1894 repeal
ed that part es the city charter and
that bankers, money lenders and loan
negotiators, electric lights and gas
companies are exempt from specific
license taxes.
The order was granted and the case
set for a hearing September 25.
The city derives revenue amounting
to nearly SSOO from those (sources, and
if the order holds geiod who pa d
the tax last year may ask that the
amount be refunded.
The case is a very interesting' one
and involves some nice legal points.

The Trion K3ho Quote? Dr. Headden and
Give* Him One Better.
Rev. Dr. Headden, of Rome, who
has been on Lookout Mountain for a
part of the summer, tells of a fishing
party, one pf which he was. whose
outfit, ipstead of, thfe anglers rod; and
tackle; consisted ’bf a slbagb hamihter
and crowbar,
This seems incredible to any but a
North Georgia mountaineer, and most
of his listeners thought that the good
Doctor was laboring under temporary
mental aberiation; but he explained)
that in places the fettle river on the I
mountain is very clear and shallow, I
and the trout in the pool along take '
refuge under the ledges of rock, the 1
fishermen then strike the rock a heavy ■
blow with a hammer which kills the
the fish;if the rock j.<? broken the. crow- [
bar is used to prise it up so that the
fish can be had. Says the Trion Echo:
Mr. »Z. T. McKinney, who is an
adept in all matters pertaining to the j
anglers art, and authority on all
questions looking to the capture of aj
funny tribe, says: that in 1873, at a!
Park Pond near Nashville which was
frozen very deep, he saw a fellow with
a number fine fish and upon inquiry
learned that the fellow could locate
the fish beneath t’he ice and would cut
down through the ice with a hatchet
and tlie fish being numed with cold,he
could catch them.
This was plusible and no shadow of
a doubt crossed the face of hearers:
Seeing which, he continued saying
that once when he was standing just
across the river at Pelham, S. C.,with
a friend he saw a man who claimed to
be fishing, dive fiom a rock, for along
time he watched for his reappearance
and thought that he was hung under
a rock or log in the river, but directly
he came up with a fish in each hand
and one in his mouth throwing these
Out on the bank he took two more
from his pockets making five that he
|ha i caught at one dive. Mr. Mc
, Kinney kindly gave the crowd per
| mission to believe it or not to as they
chose, but said it was so, all believe of
course. One doubting Thomas, has
had a hard tustle to get it down, but
conquered his incredulous disposition
with the confession that he would
not believe it if he had seen it with
his own eyes, but as Mr. McKinney
was a man of indisputed veracity he
would have to swallow it.

A Llttl. Mute Girl Cared for by Mr. Frank
Hill.
■
LaSt Wednesday morning at 1 o’clock
one of the incoming night trains left a
passenger at the Southern depot in East
Horde who excited the interest and pity
of all who saw her. It wasalittle mute
girl about seven or eightyears of age,
with no protector and nothing to iden
tify her but a small Card pinned to her
cap;on which was written;
“NelJ Anderson, Richville, Ga. On
her way. to the Mute Asylum, Cave
Spring, Ga; Please consider her affle
tionl” 1••■
Mr. Frank Hill, one of the night dis
patchers, was the Good Samaritan who
found her and taking her to his owu
home, gave her lodging and food. She
seemed lonely and cried but after' Mrs.
Hill had kindly washed her face and
combed her hair and the children, Ethel
and Harry, ;brought out their play things
to entertain the little stranger, she
smiled and showed decided appreciation,
of these attentions.
At 10 o’clock m.,the morning Mr. Hill
put her in charge of a lady who was
going down to Cave Spring and who
promised to take care of her until she
reached her new home. ' 1
Such thoughtful kindness is worthy
of her highest praise but is only one in
stance among many unselfish and gen
erous deeds .performed by those kind
people, who have learned the joy of
doing good as they have opportunity.

WILL NOT RE IOVER.
Atlanta’s Wounded Police Officer in Bad
Condition.
Atlanta, Sept. 16.—1 t begins to
look as if Officer Bankston will not re
cover from the wounds upon
him by the negro, Will Turner, whd
may .yet be tried for murder instead
of assault with intent to murder.
In the criminal court this ‘ Corning
Mr. Rebuen R. Arnold, was appointed
to defend tne negro, Will Turner.
■Who was brought Out with a number
of other prisoners. Mr. Arnold, after
consulting with the,negro, announced
tljat Ije was ready to enter a plea of
guilty to assault with intent to
murder.
Solic.itor.Hill said he had just learn
ed that Officer Bankston was in a
critical condition, and he would not
receive the plea, as he feared the of
ficer might die from the effect of the
wounds made upon him by the negro.
It was then stated by some of the
officers in attendance on the court
that Bankston had attended the meet’
ing of the grand jury to test ify against
the negro and the:i gone home and to
bed, from which he had not since
arisen. It was represented that he
w-as in a critical condition and there
was great danger of death resulting.
Judge Candler stated that he saw
Bankston a short time after he was
struck by the negro. The wounded
officer happened to pass by him on the
way to the hospital and he thought
then that he would hardly live an
hour. He did not think it was advisa
ble to accept a pica in this case, as he
would be very much surprised if
Bankston lived. The negro was sent
back to jail to await the result of the
officer’s wounds.
