THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE.
Thursday, October 25, 1888.
NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC TICKET.
FOR president:
GROVER CLEVELAND,
OF NEW YORK.
FOR VICE PRESIDENT :
ALLEN G. THURMAN,
OF OHIO.
FOR CONGRESS, NINTH DISTRICT:
ALLEN D. CANDLER,
OF HALL.
' VOTE, DEMOCRATS! VOTE!
The election is only twelve days
off, and It behooves every good citi
zen to turn out and vote. While it
may be true that Col. Candler’s re
election is reasonably secure, yet
this is no excuse for any true demo
crat t<> stay away from the polls.
Other counties are wide awake and
will cast full votes, and will roll up
grand majorities for the nominee,
and it will be a burning shame if our
candidate’s own county suffers itself
to be surpassed.
Hall will give Candler 2,000 ma
jority, if our people will turn out
and discharge their duty to him and
the noble principles he represents.
Let every man not only vote him
self, hut resolve to induce as many
others to do so as he can. Again
we say, Vote, democrats, vote!
The farmers in th fl Georgia legis
lature number 133, the lawyers 74,
with a sprinkling of doctors, preach
ers, merchants, and men of other
callings.
No democrat who is entitled to
vote should neglect to go to the polls
on the Gth day of November. It is
a duty they owe themselves and their
country to vote for Cleveland and
Thurman. The South should poll a
full vote*in the coming election.
Three persons were found dead in
their beds in Atlanta, on last Satur
day morning—two men and one
woman. They lived in different
parts of the city, ami all seemed to
have died at \ery nearly the same
time. Excessive use of whisky is
said to have been the cause of all
their deaths.
Pleasant Plains, N. Y., is a repub
lican stronghold, and one of its citi
zens is Mr. .John Harris, who has
placed in a window of his residence
a transparency bearing this inscrip
tion : “I am a republican, but no
crank. Hurrah, for Cleveland.”
are a good many republicans
of the John Harris way of thinking.”
The man who refuses or neglects
to pay his debts when he has the
money is an obstructionist to the
prosperity of his community to the
extent of his liabilities. The prompt
payment of debts keeps the money
in circulation and keeps up confidence.
If a man hasn’t got the money he
can’t pay, but if those who have it
won! : pay, he would probably soon
get it.
Manv >dd bets have been made on
the r- tof the presidential election.
One o In latest is that of two Maine
f.armeis. If Cleveland wins, the re
public i » is.t<> cut from his own woods
ten .co.- s of wood, and haul it to the
yard o" the democrat. If Harrison
wins, :he democrat will perform the
same s rvice for the republican. In
genuit seems to have run to elec
tion lots.
Mr. { ’.swell P. Flower thinks that
New fork city will give Cleveland
and '■ ai.rman GO,OOO majority, and
that Lings county will give them
20.0e . G< n. Spinola concurs in the
estim * with regard to New York,
and > - generally admitted that
King. : ’iity will give not less than
20,00 b o inocratic majority. It is
thoughi tin* total vote in New York
city will be about 270,000.
There has been a great deal of
trouble in getting the correct names
of the electors in some of the dis
tricts of Georgia. Those who are
having tickets prepared should be
careful in seeing that they are printed
properly, and managers of elections
must be careful that on the returns
made to the Secretary of State the
names of electors are written as they
should be.
That great railroad Octopus, the
far-famed Richmond Terminal, has
scooped the great Central system of
Georgia. Now that this powerful
syndicate has nearly every southern
road in its power, what will be the
result ? Will it discriminate in favor
of a few places and against the in
terests of all others, as monopolies
usually do, or will it deal justly and
impartially with all? We will soon
see.
It. is said that when Mr. Thurman
spoke at Peru, Ind., the other day, a
horrible accident wa t s averted by his
coolness. The building in which he
spoke was packed, and the strain on
the gallery was so great that the
outer wall of the building was
cracked, ami there was danger of a
collapse of the gallery. The audience
knew nothing of this. While Mr.
Thurman was speaking a note was
handed him, informing him of the
situation. He brought his speech to
a close, but not in away to excite
suspicion, and left the building, two
thirds of the crowd following him.
There were thirty-one new cases
bf yellow fever reported at Jackson
ville up to G o’clock yesterday even
ing, ami four deaths. Making total
number of cases 3,903, deaths 337.
Owing to the warm weather several
new cases have developed at Fernan
dina, Enterprise and at other points
in south Florida. The many friends
of Bishop Weed, who was stricken
down a day or two ago, will be glad
to learn that his attack is a light one
and that there are reasonable hopes
of his speedy recovery. Il is devoted
wife is endeavoring to make her way
to him, but she may not be allowed
to enter Jacksonville at present.
CANDLER AMONG THE PEOPLE.
Since our last issue, in fact, ever
since his return from Washington,
Col. Candler has been circulating
among the people of the district,
speaking at almost every prominent
point, mid large and enthusiastic
crowds have met at every place to
hear from his own lips an account of
stewardship. That he has made a
fine impression everywhere —that he
has successfully met and refuted the
slanders and misrepresentations of
his opponent —that he has brought
back into the democratic fold hun
dreds that had been inclined to go
astray, being misled by the sophis
tries of the arch demagogue and dis
organizer Pickett, is conceded on
all hands.
It is true that, while Candler was
at his post in Washington, Pickett
had things pretty much his own way,
and by his peculiar methods and
reckless assertions, created some dis
sensions among hitherto true and
loyal democrats; yet since bis return,
and since he has followed I’ickett’s
track and exposed his duplicity and
demagogy, this has been changed
to a great extent, and now it is gen
erally acknowledged that for the
past two or three weeks Pickett has
been losing and Candler has been
steadily gaining ground, and no well
informed man in the district now
doubts that Candler will beat Pick
ett worse than he beat Speer in 1881.
Among the many accounts we have
received from various sources, we
only have space to publish the fol
lowing extracts this week. Speaking
of Col. Candler’s speech at Dahlon
ega on Monday of last week, the
Signal says:
“According to previous announce
ment, the dinner hour on Monday
last was occupied by Col. Candler
in a two hours speech to a crowded
house. He made a most excellent
speech, showing his very faithful
record as our congressman, and
showing up, with marked ability, the
conditions and principles of the dem
ocratic party in the present cam
paign.
“He was loudly applauded, and
the large assembly present indicat
ed that Lumpkin would give him
a handsome majority the Gtli of No
vember. He explained all the charg
es that have'been hurled against him
very satisfactory to his constituents,
and made many votes by his speech
which otherwise would have went
against him.”
The Athens Banner-Watchman, of
the 23d, thus speaks of Candler’s
campaign, and thus appeals to the
democracy of the gallant old Ninth
to rally to his standard:
“A large crowd will go from Ath
ens to hear Mr. Candlerat Nicholson,
Wednesday. The Clarksborough
district Candler club, of Jackson
county, will attend en masse and will
make the welkin ring for their game
little representative.
“Democrats of the Ninth should
awake; this is no time for indep md
entism or radicalism in democratic
Georgia. It is not simply a fight be
tween Candler and Pickett, but be
tween Cleveland and Harrison, be
tween democracy and radicalism, be
tween pure government and corrup
tion and centralization.
“The result’ of the vote in the
Ninth will have its effect in the na
tional, election.
“Let every true Georgian, every
true southerner in the old Ninth re
solve to walk up to the polls on the
Gth of November and drop in a bal
lot for Cleveland and Thurman and
Candler.”
The Baptist Sun, of yesterday, in
a truly Christian spirit and dignified
manner, comes out in its .own defence
in reply to certain bulldozing letters
it recently received from two of the
Rev. Thad Pickett’s supporters in
Forsyth county. That this attempt
to blackmail a consistent and well
conducted religious journal, was dic
tated by Pickett himself, is the can
did opinion of many, but whether
this suggestion be true or not, all
good men will agree that it will cer
tainly fail of its object, and that the
reverend gentlemen who edit the
Sun will stand vindicated before the
more enlightened, not only of the
large ami influential denomination
they are serving so faithfully and ef
fectively, but of the better elements
of all churches and all parties. We
expect to publish the able and Chris
tian like defence of the Sun next
week.
Rome is moving to put up a levee.
Rome has secured a government en
gineer who has made a survey, and
reports that the work can be put up
for $30,000. It is to be hoped that
competent engineers will be employed
by Augusta or that the government
will send some there to definitely
ascertain whether that city cannot
be protected from inundations in the
future. Some think a levee can be
so constructed as to prevent the city
from being overflowed, while others
think the remedy would likely prove
to be worse than the disease, and
that the only solution of the problem
would be to construct a canal or
canals, leading into the river below
the city and thus give an outlet to
the excess of water during freshets;
while others again can see no possi
ble remedy but by tilling in the streets
and lots and raising the houses above
high water mark. Os course this
latter plan would be most effective,
if practical. However, some feasible
plan will no doubt be suggested, if
experts can be secured to make sur
veys and ascertain exactly what can
or cannot be done, what it will cost,
the time it will require to do the
work, etc. There is one thing certain
and that is, that Augusta must do
something to defend herself agatnst
such disasters in the future, and the :
sooner she goes about it the better. 1
THE FAIR AND THE FARMERS.
The farmers of Hall county must
not forget that this is their show.
You have had long years of work,
now come out and have a few days
of sight seeing and recreation.
What is the matter with farming
anyway?
It is the God-appointed destiny
and employment of mankind.
The townman, with his daily ex
penses to meet; his bills to pay; his
constapt grind in the store or at the
desk, is, after all, a slave in compar
ison. The farmer belongs to nobody;
is dependent on nobody’s trade or
patronage; his farm is a small king
dom, and if he avoids debt, with
moderate labor, he leads the most
independent life in the world.
'fhe trouble with our farmers is
that they isolate themselves too
much, and hence too often lag behind
in the race of life—no man can make
much of himself unless stimulated
by a certain amount of contact w-ith
others. The fair affords just what
we need.
At these exhibitions the farmer
sees what his neighbors are doing;
he sees the latest inventions of all
kinds; compares the yields of pro
ducts under different styles of culti
vation; examines new breeds of stock
and the result of improved methods
in every department of farm work;
he returns home with his mind
brightened up and goes to work with
renewed interest.
It is such things that have made
the western farmers the live, pro
gressive, prosperous men they are.
Let us also keep up with the head of
the procession!
What makes the west so enticing
to young men? It is the change, the
variety, the bustle of a new country
which stirs the blood and gives life a
fresh flavor.
We have the chosen spot of the
Union, but we allow ourselves to rust
and our country to stagnate. Life!
excitement! progress! that is all we
need in this old land of ours.
The fair, with its flags flying, its
bands playing, fine horses, the bright
displays, the crowds of men and wo
men, will do more to infuse new en
ergy into our people than anything
in the last ten years.
Let all come out, and let us bring
something to exhibit—if it is only a
jar of tine preserves, a log cabin
quilt, or a pound of well made but
ter —let u§ contribute our part.
This way of sitting down and
waiting for something to turn up to
bring wealth to our county will nev
er do—but with a little pushing—all
together—we can make our section,
with the means already in our hands,
the most attractive in America—a
blessed heritage for our children and
our childrens’ children.
••Keep pushing, "tis wiser than standing aside
And Sighing, and watching, and waiting the
tide.
in Life’s earnest battle they only prevail
Whodaily inarch onward, and never say fail!”
The coming election will have some
surprises in store for the politicians
who think an appeal to the prejudices
a safer method of campaigning than
an appeal to the reason of American
voters. Therc.are ten men interested
in the reduction of taxation where
there is one* man benefitted by high
taxes. The Tariff Reformers have
sought to set the ten men to think
ing, and they are thinking. The
result will be shown when the votes
shall have been counted. An honest
confidence in the public intelligence
in this country has never been dis
honored.—Philadelphia Record.

There is a well known lady in this
county who lias enjoyed perfect
health since the earthquake of two
years ago. For several years up to
that time her health had been de
clining, and she was then quite feeble.
The physicians said the trouble was
that she never perspired. When the
great, earthquake occurred she was
considerably frightened and in a few
moments the perspiration came freely
from every pore. She began to im
prove from that moment, and soon
entirely regained her health.—Wash
ington Gazette.
Among the cotton received at
Charleston last Monday was one lot
of fifteen bales from Cheraw, S. C.,
which was covered in bagging made
from pine straw. The entire lot was
quickly disposed of and readily ac
cepted by sorters. It is probable
that by next spring over ten factories
for the manufacture of p'ine straw
bagging and matting will be in oper
ation between Raleigh, N. C., and
New Orleans. The adaptability of
the bagging to covering cotton will
'result in a wonderful revolution in
the south.
The Richmond and Danville has
put into service on the Atlanta divis
ion five new and elegant day coaches.
Thev are models of comfort and the
trains on this road are now the best
equipped that run into Atlanta.
With the control of the East Ten
nessee system added to their present
mileage, the Richmond and Danville
is in a position to give At’anta the
best train service in the south with
excellent connection for important
points.—Constitution.
Governor Lee, in a speech made at
Staunton, Ya., said that the excess
of the Federal troops over the Con
federa • forces in the several battles
named was as follows: In the seven
days around Richmond 14,238, at
the second battle of Manassas 25,501,
at Sharpsburg 51,907, at Fredericks
burg 21,772, at Chancellorsville 75,-
000, at Gettysburg 43,000, and in the
campaign from the Wilderness to
Petersburg 77,176.
I I
Os the fifteen more important daily
papers published in New York city,
eleven support Cleveland. This is a
larger proportion than in 1884, and
we will be able to see which is the
more powerful at the polls, the argu
ments and appeals of editors or the
$2 bills of Chairman Quay.

OUR EDUCATIONAL INTERESTS.
The Boston Journal of Education
prints a table, purporting to be taken
from the forthcoming report of the
United States Commissioner of Edu
cation, showing the attendance upon
the colleges and scientific schools of
the United States and of the differ
ent states for the scholastic years of
1875-’7G and 1885-’BG. A compari
son of the figures for the United
States shows that during the last de
cade the per eentage of increase in
the attendance upon these schools
has been greater than the percentage
of increase in population. The in
crease in population was 11,355,972,
or 25 per cent, while the increase in
students was 8,950, or 27 per cent.
In 1876 the population of this coun
try was 41,943,739; the number of
schools named was 370, aiid the at
tendance was 32,211. In 1886 the
population was 56,299,711, the
schools named numbered 371, and
the students numbered 41,161.
With a population in 1876 of 1,-
387,515, Georgia sent to eight col
leges and scientific schools 581 stu
dents, an average of one-student to
every 2,388 inhabitants, while in 1886
her population had increased to 1,694,-
809, her colleges and scientific
schools to 12, and the number of stu
dents to 875, being one student to
every 1,937 inhabitants. It will be
seen that with the increase of popu
lation in this state there has been
also a steady advance in sentiment
respecting higher education.
No doubt the attendance upon the
public schools of the state also has
increased with the population. The
public school system of Georgia,
however, is not what it should be.
Outside of the schools of this kind
maintained by the cities, it is doubt
ful if there is anything in Georgia
worthy to be called a system. Per
haps the state has done the best she
could under the circumstances, but,
before the free schools are allowed
to remain at a standstill, it ought to
be very' clearly established that noth
ing more can be done now’. If pos
sible, pupils should be given the
privilege of at least six-months at
tendance upon them. First thing
we know, families will be leaving
Georgia for other states, where their
children can attend free schools more
than three months in the year. —Sav-
annah News.
Robert AL Alorse, who was chair
man of the Alassachusetts republican
convention of 1884, and supported
Blaine that year, has declared himself
in favor of Cleveland, Thurman and
tariff reform. He w-as in favor of
tariff reform in 1884, but then took
the ground that only republicans
could be trusted to revise the tariff.
He now says that the republicans
have proved false to their profession
on the tariff question.
King Hall, the gallant New York
correspondent, who has recovered
from the yellow fever in Jacksonville,
has gone home. He says he learned
to love Bishop Weed, whose brave
heart and kindly spirit has been a
comfort through* all the sad scenes.
Hall is a brave, talented fellow- and
his friends hope to see him in a much
better field for his courage and ca
pacity.
BOWBBE ITEMS.
We are having some more wet
weather, and the open cotton will be
considerably damaged. There will
not be as much cotton made in this
county this year as there was last,
and we think we ought to have a
better price for it.
Corn shuckings are the order of
the day, and nearly every farmer is
filling his crib heaping up and run
ning over. The corn crop is good.
There has been more weddings in
this neighborhood this fall than was
ever known before in one season, and
there will be more before Christmas.
That’s right, boys; take them in and.
don’t live so lonesome. Remember
that you will soon be a -bachelor, and
no girl loves an old bachelor.
Mr. J. M. Head, P. M., at Bow
dre, has a strange dog. When you
see Mr. Head’s cow you can see the
dog right along with her. He fol
lows her every where she goes.
The candidates don’t seem to be
stirring around much this fall. We
haven’t seen but one in our settle
ment yet, though it is time enough
for them.
Well, the presidential and the
congressional election will soon be
here, and we do hope the boys will
go to the polls that day and vote for
Grover Cleveland and Allen D. Can
dler. There are many people who
fail to vote, and some times just a
few votes elect a man. We know
you can afford to lose one day and
vote for Mr. Candler to go to con
gress and Mr. Pickett to stay at
home.
Success to the Eagle.

OCONEE MILLS.
As it has been some time since 1
wrote, perhaps I can give your read
ers some items ol interest.
The cotton crop will probably fall
short of what was expected, owing
to the late heavy rains.
The people of this section are solid
for Candler. We have a club 200
strong.
Mr. Win. Al. Buffington says as
soon as he can gather his crop he is
going to Alabama. He is a live, en
ergetic young man, and we wish he
would conclude to stay with us.
Air. A. W. Langford has been
very sick, but I am glad to say is
couvalescing.
Lebanon Sabbath school is still in
a very flourishing condition. A
Christmas tree is contemplated.
Aliss Elizabeth Eberhart is very
low at present with fever. We hope
she may soon recover.
Prof. IL A. Langford’s school
closed a short time ago. Nearly all
his pupils were present the last day,
as well as a majority of the patrons.
Professor treated his pupils to as
much candy as they could eat, and
all appeared to enjoy themselves and
to appreciate his kindness very much.
Speeches were made by Prof. Lang
ford and J. Thompson. The day
passed off pleasantly and will long be
remembered by all present.
Your correspondent from Gills
ville boasted of the pretty girls over
there. I would like to remind “She”
of the fact that we have some pretty
girls over this way.
I will close for fear my letter may
be considered too lengthy and not be
published.
Success to the Eagle. She is
making a noble fight for pure democ
racy. Juniper.
A BSA LOM ITEMS.
' Cotton picking is on a boom and
there is being a lot of it picked.
O’possnms and sweet potatoes are
ripe and the old darkey is happy.
Air. John A. Gould is doing some
fine work with his new gin.
Air. Jim Orr and family has moved
to Flowery Branch.
11. C. DeLong has a fine new girl
baby at his house.
Dr. A. 11. Wingo is building an
addition to his residence.
Prof. G. W. Ellis’ school at Pleas
ant Hill, closed the 27th ult., and all
the children were made happy by
a nice treat. Prof. Ellis is an excel
lent teacher.
Air. John P. Smith, of Dawson
county, who is well and favorably
known in Hall, was recently married
to Aliss Emily Lynch, of Whitfield.
We congratulate John in securing so
charming a bride.
Married, at the residence of the
bride’s father, in this county, Air.
George W. Gould to Aliss Amanda
Mooney. We wish the young peo
ple much happiness and prosperity.

FROM CLINCH EM.
I am glad to see that there is a
two hundred and fifty dollar banner
offered to the county voting the larg
est majority for Hon. A. D. Candler,
according to the voting population.
1 want old Hall to carry that banner;
and I think Clinchem will be the
banner district.
The Clinchem Candler club has
arranged for a big meeting on Satur
day night of Nov. 3. There will be
some interesting speeches delivered.
Everybody is invited to turn out on
that night. Clinchem is more solid
for Hon. A. D. Candler than ever,
and don’t you forget it.
Clinchem is somewhat like the in
dividual who was suffering from a
drunk—sick! Yes, she is sick of in
dependentism; and does not want
any more “Dear Mat’s” in hers.
CLINCHEM.
The Southern Club of New York
is making splendid strides, and has
just set aside $50,000 to erect a new
club house somewhere between Alad
ison avenue and Thirty-fourth street.
The southern movement is taking a
firm grip in New York. Recently
an exchange for the promotion of
southern enterprises has been inau
gurated, which, although in its infan
cy, promises well. Then, two daily
papers in the same' interest is seri
ously mooted. There are many
prominent writers ’in the city, and
the society has grown with such rap
idity that an organ would not be so
surprising a luxury as outsiders
would imagine. IL Victor New
combe, Logan C. Murry and Roger
A. Prior are among the leaders of
the society.—N. AL Truth.
Roswell P. Flower is betting that
Cleveland will carry New York and
Kings counties by 90,000 majority,
and Gov. Hill has been making
speeches in New Jersey and the west.
Here are two prominent democrats
at least who do not seem doubtful
about the result.
The country is safe because Air.
Cleveland will be elected again.
From all which it-may be inferred
that the American people have a
great deal of faith in themselves.
Their judgment is not disturbed by
the statements of political orators or
organs that so vigorously contend
that, unless this candidate or that be
elected, the country’s prosperity will
fall into wreck and ruin. They have
listened to the facts, the law- and the
argument, and they will find a true
verdict on November 6th. They
trust themselves to do it, and they
may be trusted to do it, for it is their
own welfare which is to be served by
a just verdict. They are going about
their business of manufacturing,
sowing and reaping, buying and sell
ing, sending ships to sea, marrying
and giving in marriage, as if there
was no such things as politics. This
does not imply indifference on their
part, but supreme confidence in the
wisdom and justice of the majority,
whose will is law.—Philadelphia
Ledger.
The Old Roman can put t hings jn
a homely wav that is highly effec
tive. This, for instance, in his letter
of acceptance: “I cannot too strongly
express my dissent from the hereti
cal teachings of the monopolists that
the welfare of a people can be pro
moted by a system of exorbitant tax
ation far in excess of the wants of
the government. The idea that a
people can be enriched by heavy and
unnecessary taxation, that a man’s
condition can be improved by taxing
him on all he wears, on all his wife
and children wear, on all his tools
and implements of industry, is an
obvious absurdity.”—Boston Herald.
The news that comes from the
north-western states of the uprising
of the farmers against the republican
party is not surprising to those who
have watched the current of political
events in that part of the country
. to those who are at all familiar
with the relations of the farmer to
the tariff. AV hat is surprising is the
fact that occasionally some person
telegraphs to the newspapers that
there is a great uprising among the
farmers for the defense of their
homes and crops against “the free
traders.”—New York Times.
The horse swapping brigade was
here in full force last week. They
swapped all day, and when dark
came they “throwed horses” like
boys do knives. Late at night a
man, who claims to be from I lull,and
who was full of “branch water,” rode
up to a stump and said: “Hello, how’ll
ye swap? Give ye my horse fer
your’n.” No reply. “I say, how’ll
you swap?” • Finding he could get
no reply, he rode off down the street
swearing he was “the best man that
ever trod shoe leather.”—Gwinnett
Herald.
An exchange truly says that when
this country becomes plastered all
over with spareribs, backbones, sau
sages, etc., instead of mortgages,
then we will begin to see daylight.
