WAR IT IS.
Il was decreed in the counsels of
eternity that there should be war,
and war it must be, and war it is.
However much we may have
wished that war might be averted,
it is now here, and all Americans
must rally to the flag.
In another place will be found a
summary of the principal events of
the past week. The war may be
prolonged, but as to the final result
there can be no question, as America
and Spain must have it out. Eng
land has declared for iron-clad neu
trality, and the other nations must
follow, for Britannia rules the ocean.
England’s fleet could whip the world
combined.
There will probably be a naval
battle before a week. The Spanish
fleet has sailed from Cape Verde,
and we are left in the dark as to
where it will strike.
Fitzhugh Lee and Fighting Joe
Wheeler will be made generals—
probably major-generals—of volun
teers.
Cuba will be invaded as soon as
our volunteer troops are organized
and drilled, which will be in a few
weeks at most.
A RIDICULOUS LIE.
The most absurd thing in the gub
ernatorial campaign is the rumor
now being industriously circulated
that Col. Candler is a Roman Cath
olic. Two gentlemen from Quil
lian’s district told us the other day
that many people in their community
believed the story. There is perhaps
no man in Hall county who is further
from being a Catholic than Col.
Candler. The rumor is the veriest
rot. It is ridiculous. It is an At
kinson lie.
We shouldn’t be surprised if some
one starts the rumor that Candler
is a negro.
DOESN’T WANT TATE.
From Young Harris News :
We have been conservative in our
columns in regard to politics, but like
most other people we have our pre
ferences, and our preference in this
congressional race is Howard Thomp
son.
We have said nothing but what we
had to say about Mr. Tate, as every
one knows we were attacked and
after our reply said we would not
give room to ans more of their dirt.
They have again attacked us in a
cowardly, vulgar manner that we do
not propose to reply to in our col
umns, but will settle with them in
person.
As we before stated, Howard
Thompson was our choice in the mat
ter and is now doubly so. We now
propose to use these columns in his
interest, but propose to be decent
and truthful.
We do not fall out with others
who may be for Mr. Tate. They
have that privilege and we have the
same, and if any subscriber to the
News who is not generous enough to
give us the same privilege that he
takes and wants his paper stopped if
he will drop us a postal stating that
fact we will accommodate him.
Towns county is for Howard
Thompson by a large majority and
if Mr. Tate continues to send his
cowardly, lying, vulgar and indecent
sheet to this county it will be solid
for Thompson.
Take Mr. Tate with his six years
appointing power, his post-masters,
mail clerks, deputy marshals and
collectors, clerks at Washington, his
marble interest, his bank account and
that great seed list, and of course a
man will have to be a hustler to de
feat him, but it can be done and the
man who is going to do it is Howard
Thompson.
THOMPSON IN LUMPKIN.
Col. Howard Thompson interested
a large number of voters by about a
two hours speech Wednesday of this
week during the court’s recess for
dinner. He was given the closest at
tention by all present and from their
appearance showed that they were
fully satisfied that the Colonel would
make an able representative in the
balls of our national legislature
There is no doubt in our mind but
what Mr. Thompson has on this trip
erected a big high political fence by
which will be the means of his rais
ing a large crop of votes unless his
opponent comes along with his frosty
tongue and injures the plants before
they mature —Nugget.
It is understood in Washington
that Fitzhugh Lee will not go into
the field as the commander of South
ern troops alone; it is proposed to
give him a brigade in which both the
South and the North will be repre
sented, in about equal proportions.
Lee’s staff, also, it is said, will be
composed of men from both sections,
so that there will be nothing sec
tional in the organization. “Yankee
Doodle” and “Dixie” under Fitz
Lee will be a medley to the tune of
which the enemy will have to dance
lively.
THOMPSON TO TATE.
The Light is Turned On Some of
Tate’s Shady Work.
Gainesville, Ga., April 27, 1898.
Hon. F. C. Tate,
Washington, D. C.:
Dear Sir: I bad hoped that dur
ing our canvass for the Democratic
nomination honorable means only
would be employed, but from the
following letter you have sent out to
people in White county, which is
only one of many which you have
circulated, I am convinced that my
dream has been dispelled :
House of Representatives U. S.,
Washington, D. C., April 8, 1898—
Mr. , Parks, Ga. (Personal)
—Dear Friend : I had hoped to be at
your court next week, but with war
staring this country in the face I
cannot leave my post of duty for the
purpose of advancing my own politi
cal interest; therefore, tied down
here as I am, 1 must rely upon you
and my other friends to take care of
my interests. I have at all times
kept my promises and endeavored
honestly and faithfully to discharge
my duty, and I am sure that you will
agree with me that no fair or truth
ful man will assert that I have not
done so.
Every scheme and plan known to
the slick politician will be resorted to
for the purpose of prejudicing the
people against me. As I can’t be
present, I ask that you look after my
interest and see to it that I am not
misrepresented. I understand that
Mr. Thompson claims that he has
done me great service in my political
campaigns. This is untrue, as every
Democrat in the district is aware.
You know he never made a Demo
cratic speech or helped the Demo
crats in any campaign in your coun
ty. Ido not suppose you can find a
voter in your county that Mr.
Thompson ever asked, either in pri
vate or on the stump, to vote for me
or any other Democrat, and how he
can so far forget the truth as to stand
up in the very face of men like you
who have worked for me and claim
the credit for what you and my
other friends have done for me I
can’t understand.
In reply to Mr. Thompson’s at
tacks .on me, I desire to say, that
there is nothing which he now says
against me that he did not know at the
time when he claims that he alone
elected me—the only difference be
ing, at that time he was not himself
a candidate for Congress; therefore
his own criticisms of me show that
he either deceived and misled the
people by not telling them what he
knew against me when he was not a
candidate, or there is no truth in
what he says about me now, and he
can take his choice of positions and
by either he condemns himself.
Mr. Thompson should at least be
truthful and fair. I have done more
for him and his brother-in-law, Sam
Dunlap, as you are aware, than for
any other two men in the district,
and they seem to appreciate it less.
Hoping to hear from you soon,
and assuring you of my appreciation
of your loyal friendship, I am,
Your friend, F. Q. Tate.
Ist. You claim “that with war
staring this country in the face you
could not leave your post of duty,”
etc., yet on the 17th of March last,
the day before the committee met in
Atlanta to arrange for a joint dis
cussion between us, you were on
hand “to advance your political in
terest” and advise with your friends
on the committee, and again when
the executive committee of this dis
trict met here on the 22d instant for
the purpose of calling a convention
to nominate a candidate for Congress
and arrange the preliminaries there
for, you left your “post of duty,”
although war was actually on, and is
now officially declared to have begun
on the 21st, “to advance your politi
cal interest,” and were on hand to
advise with your friends for that
purpose.
2d. You say, “that every scheme
and plan known to the slick politi
cian will be resorted to for the pur
pose of prejudicing the people
against” you. The whole context of
the letter shows that this charge is
intended for me. I defy you to pro
duce a single letter that I have writ
ten, personal or otherwise, that will
in any way prove this assertion. In
my speeches before the committee
failed to arrange a joint discussion
between us, I never uttered your
name, and since that time I have as
saulted you only in the open, and if
I have done you an injustice I hope
you will meet me face to face in the
three discussions arranged by the
Democratic executive committee of
Habersham county and prove it.
Don’t now stab me in the back un
der the guise of personal letters. If
I cannot prove all I have charged
against you when in your nrerence I
will take pleasure in withdrawing
them.
3d. You say further, “I under
stand Mr. Thompson claims that he
has done me great service in my po
litical campaigns ; this is untrue, as
every Democrat in the district is
aware.” Had you the proper appre
ciation of truth and that gratitude
due a loyal friend you would not
have written this. You know, and
so do the records show, that I have
been a member of the Congressional
campaign committee of this district
and did all I could in your behalf,
and in the last campaign in the con
vention in this county I tried to
have delegates instructed for you by
that meeting, notwithstanding the
executive committee of the county
had named a later date for the selec
tion of delegates to the Congressional
convention. I did this for you in
spite of the following letter from
you :
Washington, June 3, 1896.
Dear Howard: 1 have done as
you suggested in reference to White
and Lurrfpkin. We can carry both
of these counties. Look out for del
egates io the State conyention and
see to it that our friends are selected
as delegates to the convention. I
don’t see how you can select a regu
lar delegation from your county on
Saturday unless it is authorized by
your executive committee. The
trouble is the delegates to the county
convention were not selected for this
purpose, or in the original call there
was no authority given the county
convention to select delegates to the
Congressional convention. We have
got them beat; don’t give them any
just ground to kick.
Your friend, F. C. Tate.
I was actively aiding you in every
county in this judicial circuit in your
last canvass, and you and thousands
of other Democrats of the district
knew this to be true. You came to
my house the Sunday before the ex
ecutive committee of this district
met, with S. C. Dunlap, who held the
proxy of Oliver Wyly of Towne
county, who is your cousin, and ear
nestly begged me not to go to White
Superior court, which met Monday
morning thereafter, but remain in
Gainesville to be present at the meet
ing of the committee, and to aid you
in devising ways and means to de
feat Col. Perry. After full confer
ence it was agreed that I should go
to White court, as I could be of
more service there than at Gaines
ville, and I went and Dunlap re
mained, met with the executive com
mittee and aided you in every way
in his power. In your other two
campaigns I was equally as active
for you.
4th. The charge that I never
asked a voter to vote for you or any
other Democrat, etc., is equally as
barren of truth.
sth. The charges I now make
against you were, I confess, unknown
to me in your previous canvasses,
and the fact that you now fail to
speak of them, so the people may
know what they are, shows that you
think they cannot be satisfactorily
explained to an exacting public, and
if they could your friends on the
joint committee to arrange for our
canvass would have been glad to
have you meet me.
6th. Again you say, “Mr. Thomp
-1 son should at least be truthful and
fair. I have done more for him and
his brother-in-law, Sam Dunlap, than
for any two men in the district,” etc.
In the face of the record, you again
deceive yourself. You know that
the first time I ran for solicitor gen
eral of this circuit, in 1882, you were
a member of the legislature and
promised to vote for me, and had
you kept your word 1 would have
been elected, as I was only defeated
by one vote, and your vote for me
would have changed the result. In
1886 I was again a candidate for the
same office and you voted against me
but I was elected. In my last elec
tion, at my request, you were neu
tral. These are the only races I ever
made when I had opposition. Now
in what way have you ever helped
me ?
On the question of gratitude and
veracity I let the record speak for
itself, and upon it I am willing to
stand or fall. I am not engaged in
the building of my political fortunes
and stabbing an opponent in the
back under the guise of personal let
ters at the expense of the truth.
Very truly yours,
Howard Thompson.

From Extreme Nervousness.
•4JL
THAT no one remedy can contain the
elements necessary to cure all diseas
es, is a fact well known to everyone.
Dr. Miles' System of Restorative Remedies
consists of seven distinctively different
preparations, each for its own purpose.
Mrs. L. C. Bramley, 37 Henry St., St. Cath
erines, Ontario, writes: "For years I suf
fered from extreme nervousness and annoy
ing constipation, developing into palpitation
and weakness of the heart. I was unable to
sleep, suffered much from headache, pain in
my left side, palpitation and a constant
feeling of weakness and prostration. I began
using Dr. Miles' Nervine, Heart Cure and
Nerve and Liver Pills and the Anti-Pain
Pills to relieve sudden paroxysms of pain
and headache. I soon felt much improved
and the pains and aches and weariness left
me. I then took Dr. Miles’ Restorative
Tonic and am now restored to my former
good health."

. GOOD FRUIT TREEST
There is nothing better under the
sun than for a man to enjoy the
fruits of his labor.
A change of diet is essential to
good health, and of all diets, fruits
are the most palatable and the most
healthy.
Fruits were the only diet provided
for Adam and Eve, and while part
was forbidden them, nothing is de
nied us, but we may feast our ap
petites year in and year out, if we
but judiciously select and buy trees,
etc., from a well-known and strictly
reliable Nursery—one whose honesty
and fair dealing is thoroughly estab
lished in the South-Atlantic and
Gulf States.
The proof of the pudding is tast
ing it; in like manner, men who
bought nursery stock from the At
lanta Nurseries 15 or 20 years ago,
will tell you that they never patron
ized a nursery that gave them better
satisfaction.
The Atlanta Nurseries deals not
in second-hand stock ; but .keeps, and
has in stock now, an immense stock
of fruit, ornamental and ever-green
trees, small fruits, flowering shrubs
and roses, all of which have been
INSPECTED BY
The Entomologist Georgia State Experi
ment Station,
and have been found free from ALL
diseases and insect pests.
The salesman can not see all the
people in the county this season, but
he respectfully solicits the trade of
the people in Hall and its frontiers
make your wants known by mail,
and they will receive cheerful and
prompt attention.
Special discounts given on all
orders for 500 trees, or more than
that number.
P. B. SIMMONS,
GAINESVILLE, GA.
Salesman for the Atlanta Nurseries.
Persistent
Coughs
A cough which seems to hang
on in spite of all the remedies which
you have applied certainly needs
energetic and sensible treatment.
For twenty-five years that stand
ard preparation of cod-liver oil,
SCOTT'S
EMULSION
has proved its effectiveness in cur
ing the trying affections of the
throat and lungs, and this is the
reason why: the cod-liver oil, par
tially digested, strengthens and
vitalizes the whole sys
ftem; the hypophosphites
act as a tonic to the
mind and nerves, and the
glycerine soothes and
'JU I heals the irritation. Can
> i \ you think of any combi
nation so effective as this?
Be sure you get SCOTT’S Emulsion. See that the
man and fish are on the wrapper.

WAR!

In times of war there it apt to be a change in the affairs of
the country that will bring about harder times.

money, and the consequence of all of it is, money gets
scarcer, and is worth more than ever. And now the
man or woman who has a little hard cash to spend
should look out for the place wpere they can get the
