if imbed Hu whole tat, is not trealened.
and th. way it .onus alsout is this:
Last. week Mayor Price advertised in tho
column- of'l lic News lor snakes, lie want

bung over the limo <4 a tree in dry
weather would bring rain. He had tried
It 100 often and it had never failed.

But while it clouded up and looked
threatening the ram did not come, and an
Saturday n'ght flu mayor knew that some
thing was wrong.
Th. n tins, who had watched and had
aided In the proce. dlnjys for all this time
remind, d the mayor that he had tried
evtry -mike but the right snake and that
he had festooned every tree but the right
free.
He told the mayor that he must have a
coach whip make and that the coachwhip
must hang on the third limb from the
ground on a Mulberry tree.
Liki a flash it all came Lack to the

AN ANNOUNCEMENT
Bv William H, Fish to the
Democratic Voters of
Georgia,
Atlanta. Ga.. June 13.1898.
To the Democracy of Georgia:
On Thursday, the 23rd day of 'this
month, you will be called upoci to express
your choice for three members of the su
preme court, viz.: a Chief Justice, an As
sociate Justice for a full term of six years,
and an Associate Justice for an unexpiired
term of two years. 1 am a candidate to
sueecd myself and am offering for the
full term. ,
l\s almost my entire time has been, and
is now being, devoted to the discharge of
my official duties. I adopt this means'*of
pFvsen.tin.g some of the reasons ugtou whLb
1 ask your suppout. and 1 request each Jf
you to read this communication and give
it an impartial consideration.
'After an honorable contest in which 1
did nothing unfair or unbecoming. 1 was
nominated for the office 1 hold and subse
quently elected without opposition. Jus
tices Little, t’obb and myself were chosen
on a joint ticket, without disjunction as to
the length of our terms; but in drawing
for them, .is the law required, the short
term, by mere chance, fell to me. It has
be. n the unbroken usage of the Democratic
party to accord a re-election to every offi
cial. even after serving a full term, if he
has been faithful to his trust I have ear
nestly endeavored to be faithful to mine,
ami tli.-r. fore feel that I ouglw not to be
displaced after serving only onr-third of
a regular term.
I respectfully submit that tthe candidacy
of Judge Gobe was not begun, and has not
been conducted, in a fair and legitimate
manner Th. re are. as stated above, three
disttinet places to he filled. This was fully
understood from the beginning, for the
chairman of .the Democratic Executive
Committee of the State plainly so an
nouned. and at ithe same time prescribed
the form of the ballot to be used. Judge
Gob.r v.Ji knew this, and yet did not an
nounce far any .particular term, 'but gen
erally for "on.- of the places." I charge
that he pursued this course deliberately
and intentionally for the purpose of taking
his chance < a. ainst all three of the present
Bicurnb. nt- now seeking re-election. Fi
nally. w hen eoinpell. d to unequivocally
declare his position, it appears that he is
running against myself; but before saying
®o in plain En-Misb h < has earned on an
active canvass by which he sought to gain
all t tie advantages po.seible from a general
candidacy- without appearing to oppose
any one. The unfairness of this course is
Plain, and the various ways in which it
could be worked, and has been worked,
aaamst me aru obvious. I do not believe
lb.it such a method es seeking this high
office should be encouraged or endorsed.
It is unjust, not only to myself, but to ths
people. H> whom Judge Gober owed the
duty of saying promptly and candidly
■which justice of this court he desired to
supplant, so that they could understand
ingly express their ehoice.
What occurred in some of those counties
which, in -the recent primary, voted for the
nomination of supreme court justices,
forcibly- illustrates what is said above.
Tickets containing the names of the four
"* n didates, but not specifying <be particu
lar ittau lor which any one of them was
running .were prepared by Judge Gober,
er hi.- frieqds, and used to coticeaU t*ce fact
that he had al last decided to run against
me, the design, of course, being to pro
cure voles tor himself oy telling volets ;o
strike aoy one name they pleased, so long
as they left hi« on the ticket. No candid
man uati or will assert that this was deal
ing fairly, either with me or with the
voters, the more especially when this plan
was practiced in counties in which 1 had
no notice at all that an election as to me
justices would he held on that day.
in Fayette county tickets were used
upon which the following appeared: "For
Chief Justice, Thomas J. Simmons. For
Associate Justice (full term), GEO. F.
GOBER, tor Associate. Justice (unex
pired term, two years), h. T. Lewis, W. H.
b'ish. Ibe purpose could have been noth
ing else but to mislead voters into the be
lief that there was a contest for the SHORT
term between Justice Lewis and myself,
and thus leave an open field for Judge
Gober for the FULL term; whereas, the
persons who prepared this device knew
perfectly well that there was no opposition
between Judge Lewis and myself, but that
1 was a oar *didate to succeed myself for the
b ULL term. It would be difficult to con
ceive anything mare palpably unfair than
this.
1 have letter from a reliable gervtleman
in which, speaking with reference to
Walker county, he says: “There was no
election held in this county on last ..Mon
day, the 6th instant, tor supreme court
judges. Ibe executive committee met on
Tuesday, the 7<h, juat to <onsolila . -m '
vote cast for governor and state house
officers and congressmen, and, after con
solidating the vote, then selected delegates
lo attend the convention to nominate su
prem count judges, and selected delegates
favorable to Judge Gober. The people did
not vote on it. This requires no comment.
Judge Gober has sent out numerous let
ters and circulars, many of which are full
of cheap “clap-trap” to catch votes. For
instance, in a number of them addressed
to farmers, he i>oses as an agriculturist;
and to some he sent photographs represent
ing himself as superintending the packing
of peaches for shipment to the market.
Surely such methods are not -to be com
mended. 'Everybody knows that we want
for Judges men who have a knowledge of
Ihe law. and that farmers, however hon
orable their calling, have not the train
ing for such offices. This sort of elec
tioneering is a direct reflection upon the
intelligence of our farmers, but I do not
•believe they are so densely ignorant as to
approve of Judge Gober’s absurd sugges
tion that they put him on the supreme
bench, forsooth, because he is a “farmer."
But the judge, in some of his circulars—
and in at least one newspaper articles
signed by himself —is doing something
even less -worthy of public approbation.
He is attacking the efficiency and insinu
ating against the uprightness of the mem
bers of the present bench. Four of them
(Justices Lumpkin, Little, Cobb -and my
self) hold their present commissions di
rectly from the people under a unanimous
election. The chief justice has been re
peatedly elected by the legislature with
out opposition; and Justice Lewis is now
holding under an executive appointment.
I do no't believe that the people will re
ceive patiently or view favorably attacks
of this kind upon their highest court; and
in my judgment, they will hesitate to
place on this bench a man whose ambi
tion is so inordinate that he does not
scruple to charge that this court is per
vehting the law and that he should be put
upon the supreme bench in the role of a
“reformer.” This method of campaigning
ought, in my opinion, to be rebuked at the
polls.
In a published communication Judge
Gober skates, in effect, that he cares very
little personally for a seat upon the su
preme bench, and that his candidacy arose
from the fact that he was put forward by
these to whom it seemed that reforms in
'the administration of the law were
needed. This statement accords but Ml
with the fact that he has sent out thou
sands of circulars seeking support, and is
not consistent with his otherwise indus
trious candidacy, nor with the fact that
he is resorting to the above and other
like means for the purpose of securing a
nomination. The call of Cincinnatus from
the plow did not evoke from him such re
markable evidence of the fact that it had
been heard, nor such an unseemly exhi
bition of personal eagerness to respond to
it.
The judge has been making a button
hole canvass of the state, going from one
place to another and making personal ap
peals for suport. This is not only unfair
to an opponent who is remaining at his
post of duty, but is not, I submit, becom
ing in a race for this exalted office. In
placing the election of judges before the
people, it was never contemplated that
this sort of tactics would prevail or be
countenanced. If it should be rewarded
with success. I predict that the time is not
distant when the judiciary will be
dragged.into the mire of general politics—
an evil Which every good citizen will de
plore.
In some of his circulars Judge Gober
states that he was defeated in the con
vention which nominated me by a “com
bination.” In making this charge he
must have been oblivious of the.means he
employed prior to the meeting of that con
vention. and during its session, in advan
cing bis own candidacy’ before it. and he
must have entirely forgotten how he be
gan and ha® perpetuated his career as an
offlce-holder. There are in Georgia scores
of men whose memory in this respect will
be found more accurate.
In conclusion I beg to say that though
|I have used some very plain language,
every word I have said has been carefully
weighed and is the truth. And while I
regret the necessity which has been forced
upon me of publishing this communica
tion, I cannot in justice to myself remain
silent and allow the means which have
been and are now being employ to defeat
me. to pass unnoticed and unanswered.
This is the only way in which I can get
before those who are to pass upon my
stewardship the facts upon which their
judgment should be based. I am simply
seeking at the hands of my- countrymen
a fair showing, of which I feel extraord
inary- and unwarranted efforts have been
made to deprive me. and to which the
humblest citizen is entitled.
Your obedient servant.

RAY’S IMMUNES
MAY BE CAUSE
For Delay in the Call For the
Third Regiment From
Georgia.
Ray’s regiment of immunes is charged
in some quarters .with being the cause of
the delay in the call being made for the
thir regiment of Georgia volunteers.
But the war department has ailready an
nounced that the regiments already formed
in the differunt states will be allowed to
recruit to t'hciir full strength before the
second call is made in the various states.
If the war department is delaying tho
call to prevnt a conflict between the re
cruiting officers of Ray's regiment and thu
new regiment, the delay is absolutely use
less, it is said. It has already been an
nounced that the Georgia regiment would
be raised, and this simple announcement
has determined many to wait for the Geor
gia regiment, as they much prtefer to go
with the state volunteers than to go with
the imunes. •
One company which was raised for the
regiment of imunes will not go, but will
wait until the Georgia regiment is called.
This company wil be "commanded by Cap
tain Ripley, of the Atlanta Rilles. He can
easily get enough men for a company
withoin two days’ time, he says, and
Messrs. Westmoreland and Haralson, who
were going with Captain Ripley, have gone
to work to raise their company and have
succeeded in raising over thirty. They
will soon have enough men to make up the
company.
The public is responding to the calls for
troops very slowily. Immediately following
the announcement that the Georgia regi
ment would be raised there was a great
falling off in the number or recruits en
listed at Colonel Ray’s recruiting station
here. Ther sefcms to be a feeling among
the people that the Georgia regiment will
have a better showing in tihe war, and
they show a preference for this regiment.
Many mtlhers ass the state milwia will
respond to the call when it comes. They
are all of a high class of men and are men
who would not go except with a fine state
organization. So far it has been impos
sibel to gain any satisfactory information
from the Washington authorities and
nothing is known as t'he class of troops
which will be called for from this state.

The French Red Cross.
According to the Figaro of Paris, the
French Red Cross has recently opened a
subscription for the benefit of the future
wounded of the Spanish-American war
and has headed it with a contribution of
50,00'0 francs. “To speak frankly,” saya
tho writer of the article, “we owe this ac
tion to foreign nations, for they all showed
an admirable generosity toward our
wounded during the war of 1870-1. The
United States sent us at that time (500,00()
francs; Canada, 300,000; Spain, 20,000;
Italy, 19,000; little Denmark, 160,000;
the Argentine Republic, 250,000; Chile,
100,000; Peru, 60,000; Russia, 50,000; in
all about 3,000,000 francs.
“Our Red Cross, having spent more
than 12,500,000 francs for our wounded
during the fatal year, had still remaining
in its treasury more than 2,000,000 francs
At present the society has on hand 8,000,-
000 francs. It sent to Spain 30,000 francs
for the wounded in the Carlist yvar, 29®’-
000 in the Turco-Russian war, 90,000 for
the wounded in Tunis, 530,006 for Ton
quin, 316,000 for Madagascar—in all
8,000,000 francs since the war with Ger
many. Tho president of the society is now

Ride Easily.
The ease and comfort with which an
eye-glass “ rides a nose” depends more on
the manner of adjusting than the kind of
frame. “Hold Fast,” Kant Kum Off,”
“■Never Sli'p” are only relative ‘erms. They
ALL slip unless properly adjusted. There
is a knack in boning and adjusting frames
to fit a nose that is only mastered by one
of practical experience in their construc
tion and a thorough knowledge wf facial
contour. We study these things as well
as study to please. It pays us to please you.
