JEFFERSON,
FKIUAY JEIHCItB.TO, Nov’ber. 5, 18N9.
All of the Georgia Congressional Districts
wont Democratic.
Our opinion is that Ex Gov. Brown is the
choice of Jackson county for Senator.
President Hays has set apart the 25th day
of November as the National Thanksgiving
Day.
It is estimated that it costs from forty to
fifty million dollars to pick the American
cotton crop.
A terrific gale visited the coast of England
last Saturday, attended by great destruction
of property and loss of lives.
A writer in the North Georgian suggests
the name of the lion. A. T. Bennett for the
Senate from this District in the next election.
It is to be Imped that Georgia will retain
the flag which goes to the State giving the
Democratic candidate the largest majority.
In the last Presidential election the vote
exceede 1 eight millions. It is thought that
in the present election it will exceed nine
millions.
Hancock’s defeat comes unheralded by any
doubts upon our part. We thought it was a
dead certainty. This comes from seeing
only one side of a question.
The oil wells of Pennsylvania are supply
ing more oil than can be stored ; the surplus
is turned loose upon the ground. While the
production exceeds the demand, the price is
continually rising. What is the matter?
The Coolie companies of the Pacific coast,
who control the importation of Chinese
laborers to this country, subscribed large
sums to the Republican campaign fund. They
know that if Garfield is elected the} 7 can still
import cheap labor into the country.
The Athens Banner is in favor of sending
Gen. A. R. Lawton, of Savannah. totheUrfi
ted States Senate from Georgia, in the place
of (Jen. Gordon. It says that, notwithstand
ing it is thought that Colquitt’s elect ton was
an endorsement for Ex-Gov. Brown, it would
be an act of magnanimity to elect General
Lawton.
We have noticed that during the last two
weeks of the campaign both the Speer and
Bell partisans have been circulating circulars
and handbills in regard to each other. The
matter contained in some of them iias been
abusive in the extreme. This mole of
political warfare should be frowned down ’ty
all true men. It makes no voters, and we
have heard lots of good men on both sides
.regret the circulation of such literature.
NO SEAT FOR liAFiCGCK.
The latest and most reliable news tells n
<*rf Democratic defeat that would dis
heartoß &he bravest and most resolute. Had
ft been .a close boat we would have been
more content, but as it is there is nothing
ieft upon which the Democratic party could
iUaug a bit of consolation. Even Now York
2tas given Garfield a handsome majority, and
it is said that aII of the Northern States have
given him a majority, and what is worse the
South is ro more solid, for it is reported
that L'doci la is Republican. This wholesale
de r eat artr-a have been expected, or if not
what has can c e 1 onr leaders to be so much
mistaken? We have been led to believe that
Hancock was sure to be elected. We have
been most woefully deceived. What has
caused it, and who has caused it, are the
questions that a disappointed party asks.
It is defeat every time ; one whipping after
another right straight along, and nobody
learns any experience, if they do it benefits
but little.
There are two propositions, one of which
the Democratic party must accept, viz : Tim
principles of the party are wrong, and if this
is true we do not deserve success and should
abandon them and get on a solid founda
tion. The second is, if our principles are
right, we cannot make the voters of the Uni
ted States agree with them, or vote for them.
It is our opinion that the second prnposi
ton embodies the trouble. The reaso g ,vhy
we are unsuccessful are numerous, and it
look as if we never will overcome them. Ti e
Republican party has got the go on us, and
they use it to their advantage every time.
Everything conspires to help them; no kind
of fortune seems to hurt them or their party.
For instance, it did no good to prove that
Garfield was a liar and an acceptor of a
bribe. They stole the Presidency from Til
den. It was thought that tills would damn
the party, but, on the contrary, a majority of
the citizens of the United States, ou last
Tuesday, endorsed the transaction.
Taking also into consideration the poten
tial fact that the}’ control the governmental
purse-stringy and the wealth of the country,
and we see tne job undertaken by the Dem
ocrats is an up-hill business. It is useless
for us to hope for success as long as wc labor
under all of the disadvantages we did in the
last race. Something must be done to put
the two parties on a fair footing. When that
is done we are willing to a defeat if it comes
to our part. But we are beaten this time.
There will not even be any use for a commis
sion to decide the matter. There will be no
use for Hancock to take his seat- by force,
for there is none for him to tkae.

Belts to the afflicted upon 30 days trial.

John Robinson tviverlise* a s;tle of
circus stock, consisting of horses, mules,
brood mares, ponies, etc.,, at Dalton on the
Ctli of November.
It is said that the State Road authorities
will dispute the right of the Selma, Rome
and Dalton Railroad to cross its tracks at
Dalton. If the movement is a success the
road will be forced to make Dalton its ter
minus again.
A white man in jail at Morgan, Calhoun
county, attempted to burn our last Friday
night, but when the smoke began to stifle him
he called for help, and was rescued in time
to prevent his being smothered. lie was in
for stealing a mule.
The Rome Tribune complains that every
once in a while wagons and agricultural im
plement arc brought in largo numbers to that
city from the North. It informs its readers
that there is an abundance of timber and
iron in that section from which all such arti
cles might well be made.
The Dalton Citizen say : “There is a hole
in Penitentiary Cove, in Fannin county, from
which there constantly issues a volume of
wind and smoke. Its depths has never been
fathomed. Large rocks have been thrown
into it, but no sound of their striking the bot
tom has ever reached the ears of the listener.”
The LaGrange Reporter , under the head
ing, “ Good Farming,” says that three boys
of Mr. J. F. Jones, of Hogansvillc, Wiilie
Hugh and Gordon, aged respectively four
teen, eleven and nine \’ears, cultivated twen
ty-five acres of land this year, on which they
raised 30 bales of cotton, average 500 pounds ;
100 bushels corn; 30 bushels rice: I.GOO
pounds fodder; 3,200 pounds hay ; 200 bush
els potatoes ; 6 fine beeves and 9 line hogs.
On ten acres they raised 99 bushels wheat,
and on eight acres 4,000 bushels oats. Only
sll were paid for extra work.
Augusta News: “Between ten and eleven
o’clock Sunday morning Mrs. Holliman, of
Thomson, attempted suicide by drowning
in a well. It seems that for some time past,
in consequence of ill health, she has made
threats of self-destruction, and has made
several attempts in this direction. At the
hour mentioned Sunday she wenttoan adjoin
ing lot, from whence the people had all gone
to church, and let herself down with the bucket
and cope. She was soon missed and an alarm
was raised. The Marshal efthe city hearing
a woman’s voice proceeded to the spot and
discovered the poor woman at the bottom
holding on to the rope. With some assistance
lie succeeded in drawing her up, but she was
nearly dead with cold. It seems that after
taking a plunge the action of the water re
stored her to reason, when she raised the
outcry for help. At last accounts she was in
a precarious condition.”
The Montezuma Weekly reports a terrible
tragedy, which lias come to its knowledge as
follows : “ Mr. G. F. Bell, our county Sheriff,
informs us of a terrible mistake made
by a clerk in the store of 51 r. S. Iv.
Johnson, at Grangerville, in this county, a
few days since. Li ke nearly all of the country
stores in this section, Mr. Johnson keeps for
sale such drugs as quinine, morphine, etc.
Mr. Cook, who live3 in the neighborhood of
Grangerville, had two small children that were
sick with chills and fever. She sent to the
store forasmall bottle of quinine. The clerk,
by mistake, sent a bottle of morphine. Mrs.
Cook measured out the usual dose, of what
she took to be quinine, and gave it to the
children. She soon discovered that the
medicine was having an alarming e fleet. The
family physician was sent for immediately,
but when he arrived his services were not
needed, as the children were beyond the aid
of human hands. The mother had not dis
covered tliG fatal error until informed by the
physician.”
A citizen of Greenville who returned from
Atlanta on Friday night tells a good joke on
Atlanta. lie states that on Friday morning
a letter was received by the Governor, ac
companied with an old silver watch valued
at about three dollars, the letter purporting
to be from one of the gang of pick-pockets
which infested that city during the fair. The
writer stated in substance that they had met
with the most encouraging success, capturing
so may watches that they had no use for the
one accompanying the note, and had decided
to present it to the Governor as a memento
of the admirable police regulations of the
Gate City by which the}' had been enabled
to ply their avocation withoutdangerof arrest.
The writer expressed thanks for the kind and
courteous manner in which they had been
received by the people of Atlanta, and desired
that* when the next fair occurred they be re
ceived with the same courtesy, and assuring
His Excellency they would be represented by
larger numbers of their class as an acknowlegd
ment of the generous hospitality extended to
them.”
Death of Mr. James S. England.
This gentleman, so well known to our
readers, and who has been a resident of this
county for several years past, was stricken
with paralysis last Tuesday week and died
soon thereafter, lie was, at the time of his
death, living at Dowdy, in Madison county.
His remains were carried to Athens, where
he was buried. The Athens Banner makes
the following comments:
“ Trie deceased was well and favorably
known to the people of Athens. For about
forty years he was in business here. He was
a Methodist class leader, a zealous Christian,
and a man universally esteemed. Ilis re
mains are expected to arrive in Athens at
two o’clock to-day.”

To Whom it may Concern :
I take great pleasure in making the follow
ing statement: I have been afflicted with a
disease of the kidneys for the past two years,
and have tried numerous remedies with only
partial and temporary relief. Warner's Safe
Kidney and Liver Cure was recommended to
me, and after taking it the pain and distress
left me, and I am to-day feeling strong and
well. lam perfectly satisfied that Warner’s
Safe Kidney and Liver Cure is the medicine
needed, and can cheerfully recommend it to
others. G. W. Stamm.
Mrs. J. B. Wilson, Tiffin, Ohio, says :

Pad. and received more relief than from all.
remedies I have ever tried. I cheerfully re
commend it to all sufferers.— See Adv.
How Watches are Rlade-
It will be apparent to any one, who will
examine a SOLID GOLD WATCH, that
aside from the necessary thickness for en
graving and poli-hing, a large proportion of
the precious metal used, is needed only to
stiffen and hold the engraved portions in
iilr.ee, and supply the necessary solidity and
strength. The surplus gold is actually need
toss so far as utility and bcautv are con
cerned. IN JAMES BOSS’ “ PATENT
GOLD WATCH CASES, this waste of pre
cious metal is overcome, and the same so
ltdity and STRENGTH produced at from one
third to one-half of the usual cost of solid
cases. This process is of the most simple
nature, as follows : a plate of nickle compo
sition metal, especially adapted to the pur
pose, has two plates of solid gold soldered
one on each side. The three are then passed
between polished steel rollers, and the re
sult is a strip of heavy plated composition,
from which the cases, backs, centres, bevels,
&c., are cut and shaped by suitable dies and
formers. The gold in these cases is sulfi
ciently thick to admit; of all kinds of chasing,
engraving and enamelling; the engraved
cases have been carried until worn perfectly
smooth by time and use without removing
the gold.
THIS IS TIIE ONLY CASE MADE
WITH TWO PLATES OF SOLID GOLD
AND WARRANTED BY SPECIAL CER
TIFICATE.
