Both Sides Raised Boodle,
It having been charged that the
opponents of the Bush bill, now
pending before the legislature, had j
raised a corruption fund with which !
to bribe the legislators, a commit
tee of the legislature has been in
vestigating the charge, and have
found that both sides have raised a
fund.
Both declare, however, that the
money raised has only been used
in a legitimate way.
And thus the charge of bribery
has fallen to the ground.
Of course we do not believe there
was any’ - corruption in the matter.
of Elder Wm. Adams.
Elder William Adams, one of the
purest and best men that ever lived
f thls count died at ^ , 1S . home, ,
111 y>
near Dixie, at one o’clock, on Fri
day afternoon, November 22, 1895,
after a severe illness of several
weeks.
Elder William Adams was born
in Jasper county, Ga., February 2,
1831, and died November 22, 1895,
and was, therefore, aged 64 years,
9 months, and 20 days.
He was a prominent minister of
the Primitive Baptist denomination,
and was the pastor of Beulah and
Harris Spring churches,
and was greatly beloved and ad
mired for his pure and upright life.
As . exemplar , of . the . Christian , . .
an
religion, the daily walk and up
right life of Elder William Adams
was one of the purest and noblest!
examples we have ever
He was firm and decisive in his
convictions, yet he was exceeding
ly conservative and liberal in his
views on all questions of public in¬
terest.
Elder Adams was the father of
sixteen children, fourteen of whom
are still living, and all are noted for
their firmness of character and cor¬
rect lives.
Mrs. Adams, his devoted com¬
panion, still survives him, and has
the sympathy of everyone in her
great bereavement and sorrow.
His remains were interred in the
family burying ground, near Dix¬
ie, on Saturday, the funeral servic¬
es being conducted by Elders Wil¬
liam Almand, F. M. McElroy, and
F. M. and W. C. Hurst.
In the death of Elder William
Adams our county has lost one of
its truest, purest and best citizens;
the Primitive Baptist church, one
of its ablest ministers; and his
family, a kind and affectionate hus¬
band and father.
Hon. Hoke Smith to Speak
Secretary Hoke Smith has been
invited by the legislature to ad
dress the general assembly on the
political issues of the day, and has
accepted the invitation.
He has designated Wednesday
night, the 4th of December, as the
time for delivering the address.
He will no doubt have a good
audience.
A Word about'Drop" Letters
A great many people are not
aware of the fact that they must
pay postage on a letter simply
dropped in the post office for a per
son in town.
The postage on a drop letter at
the Covington post office is one
cent, and must be paid, or the let¬
ter will not be delivered by the
postmaster.
Many letters are dropped into
the post office without a one cent
stamp, and if the person to whom
they are addressed does not pay
the postage, the letter is sent to
the dead letter office at Washing¬
ton.
We trust our readers will re
member this, and hereafter be sure
to place a one cent stamp on all
letters they drop in the post office
to be delivered where they are
dropped.
The Chrysanthemum Show.
The chrysanthemum show at
4 < Music Hall,” last week, was a
wonder and surprise to everyone
who saw it. No one ever even
dreamed that there were so many
and such fine flowers, in all of
Covington and Oxford, as were on
exhibition at the show. Everyone
was proud of the show, proud of
the women who conceived it, who
cultivated the flowers, carried them
to the hall and arranged them with
such fine skill and exquisite taste,
that the impression made upon all,
will for days and weeks and months
to come, abide in pleasing recollec¬
tions and beautiful memories.
The show was creditable, not
only to Covington (and by Coving¬
ton we mean to include all who had
flowers on exhibition) but would
have been creditable to any town
or city.
The chrysanthemum show held
\n Atlanta, not lotAg since, was a
notable show. The flowers were
numerous, of great variety, and
most excellent quality. They came
from different sections of this state,
and from a number of other states,
They were all grown by profes
sional florists, by those whose bus
inessit is to raise flowers, and
whose bread and meat depend on
their success in the business. The
flowers on exhibition were the pro¬
duct of long experience and large
expenditure of time, labor and
money, and it was unquestionably
a remarkably fine and beautiful
show, and attracted much atten
d° n an d high commendation, run¬
ning as it did side by side with At
lanta’s big exposition.
The show at Music Hall, from
opening to closing, was the work
of amatuers. The flowers on ex
hibition were grown by amatuers,
and ... all grown in Covington A . . and ,
Oxford, right here at home. Tak
ing all these facts into considera
tion, the show at Music Hall beat
the Atlanta show. Leaving out
these considerations, and throwing
each show absolutely on its own
merits, and one would have to look
twice before pronouncing the At¬
lanta show the better one.
It would be pleasant to mention
individual exhibits, and write of
the merits of each, with the skill
and taste and beauty of the
different arrangements ° ; but our
s P ace an< ^ , time . or bid. , .,
Suffice it to say there was not a
^ exhibit in the hall; and on
exhibition there were over 200 pot
^ reat variety . of cut flowers,
an< a &
together with many ornamental
plants.
The greatest variety of flowers
on exhibition, by any one indi¬
vidual, being thirty five.
To Mrs. James M. Pace was
awarded two prizes, to Mrs. James
W. Worsham and to Mrs. H. M.
Speer each, one prize.
The show was largely attended,
and was the occasion of much so¬
cial pleasure and enjoyment.
Again, we were proud of the
show, and are proud of our women.
May they live long, die easy, and
thus go, all of them, to the fair
land, where flowers never wither,
where fragrance never dies, where
love never grows cold, and where
the bloom of youth abides forever.

Seven Days in One
Thursday, November 28, will be
the greatest day in the history of
the exposition.
It will consist of seven special
days in one.
It has been designated and set
apart as Inman day, Atlanta day,
Savannah day, Macon day, South
Carolina day, Charleston day,
and last, but not least,
Thanksgiving day.
It is expected the attendance
will he the largest in the history
of the exposition.
We hope there will be 100,000
paid admissions to the grounds on
that day.
The exposition is complete in
every particular and everybody
should see it.
The Silver "Craze” Dead
The goldbug papers announce
week that the “silver craze”
dead.
And they are right.
The silver “craze” is dead.
But the silver queition is still

The “craze” about silver was
anything but the goldbug
to it, and we naturally
thac that is dying out un¬
the common-sense reasoning of
silver advocates.
Yes, gentlemen, the silver

is left free to assert its sway
“pap and prejudice,” of course
the opposition to silver will soon

HEALER HEARD FROM. I
Schlader, the New Mexico “Messiah, tr
Says He Will Be in Chicago
On the 30th.
MANY MIRACLES PERFORMED.
He Made the Blind to See, the Para
lized to Walk, and the sick
Well—79,000 Letters
In One Pile.
Denver, November 18.—Francis
Schlader, the New Mexico “Mes¬
siah,” who disappeared from Den
ver last week, has written to a
man in Chicago that he would be
in that city November 30.
In the newspaper offices here
there are to be found thousands of
well authenticated records of won¬
derful cures perlormed by Schla¬
der.
Among those who came to him
by the thousands were the railway
men of the west, and it is an open
secret that just previous to his de¬
parture some of the managers of
important lines gave their employ¬
es carte blanche to go to Denver to
take advantage of the wonderful
powers of the strange healer
Among the last of the distin¬
guished to receive treatment was
the wife of Edward Dickinson,
manager of the Union Pa¬
system, and the daughter of
Dunby, of the United States
at Omaha. Others as weal¬
thy and intelligent have come long
to test the magnetic in¬
fluence, but as most of them have
careful to keep their identity
no effort has been made to
the names of those who
were too timid to brave the scorn
their associates. Vast numbers
have been treated and allowed to
without the world being the
wiser. Schlader established one
and that has been preserved
no questions shall
asked, and that there shall be no
between the rich
poor.
ABC money was returned.
In an empty bedroom in the res¬
of Edward Fox, where he
been a guest, Schlader spent
and nights attacking a moun¬
of letters that, heaped to the
of a low room, seemed to
the energy of the most tndu*
The slack of letters Is «»
l>> tht post office people at
not less than seventy-nine thou
sand, the accumulations of his so¬
journ in Denver. He had the aid
of a large number of .enthusiastic
admirers in opiening and resealing
them after he had laid hands on
them in the shape of a blessing.
Where there has been any money
the contents are carefully restored
and the compensation returned to
the writers. This has been the in¬
variable rule, and the honesty of
the healer is attested by his host of
volunteer aids, whose attention is
restricted to gumming the envel¬
opes and checking the contents,
that no handkerchief might go
astray.
Among the most remarkable of
the cures made by Schlader in
Denver were the following :
John Davidson, of No. 1,217
Seventeenth street, Denver, twen¬
ty-one years old and has been a
cripple from birth, and had only
partial control of his senses.
About fourteen days ago he was
Liken to the healer and he has re¬
turned to him to personally thank
i’.itn for his complete recovery.
The young man’s family had had
m operation performed on him
everal years ago, at a noted En¬
glish hospital, and when it was
suggested that he be taken to the
healer they ridiculed the idea, but
consented out of curiosity. They
are simply overwhelmed at the
•hange w’hich has taken place.
OTHER MARVELOUS CURES.
A little daughter of “Jack” Mc¬
Combs, of Leadville, had a stiff
arm. The member had been brok
and not properly set. A
tr« fitment from Schlader stopped
t'»i- pain, and she is now perfectly
cured and the stiffness has vanish

Janies Cavanaugh, of Leadville,
tud been blown up in a mine ex¬
plosion four years ago, and had not
light from that time until he
ri.-Gt.ed Schlader. He can now see
•a* well as ever.
Dr C. M. Caffetty. of Axtell,
¥*n was so blind that he could
aot see a ditch when he came to it.
Now he can see the clock on the
Denver anion depot from the Six¬
teenth street vi*mt, two hundred
yards away.

ladies of Covington, Oxford and Mid¬
way, in Music Hall, last Tuesday am
Wednesday, was a grand success fron
every standpoint. The hall was fillei
with all kinds of chrysanthemums. Be¬
sides these winter beauties there wen
various other kinds of flowers to be seen
at this grand exhibition. The first prizi
was awarded to Mrs. J. M. Pace, and tin.
second prize was given to Mrs. H.M.
Speer.
Last Tuesday night, about one o’clock,
several families on Floyd street werr
aroused from their peaceful slumbers tn
a hoarse yelling, which was issuing fron.
an adjoining house. ‘‘Oh, Auut Geor¬
gia ! Oh, Aunt Georgia ! Somebody is in
here. Oh, mercy! oh, mercy! Ob.
Lordy ! come here ! Joe, Bob, Mr. Perry,
run here, quick ! He has me hemineo
up!” “Dry up, Ed, before you alarm
the neighborhood,” was heard in a fem¬
inine tone. “It’s nothing but a dress i
have been hanging up to keep tin
sleeves in shape.” After a careful ex
amination of the harmless object, Mr.
O— quieted down and went to sleep.
The next morning “Ed” said that In
had a nightmare during the night, ami
hoped he had not disturbed any one.
It’s an old saying, “There is no use
having a dog if it won’t bite.” There i
no use having a city- clock if it don’i
