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 had 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 LT. S.,
Washington, D. C., April 8, 1898—
Mr. , Parks, Ga. (Personal)
—Dear Friend : 1 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, I 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. C. 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 ou 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 J 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 prerence I
will take pleasure in withdrawing
them.
3d. You sav further, “I under-

stand Mr. Thompson claims that be
has done me great service in my po
litical campaigns; this is untrue, as
every Democrat m 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: I have done as
you suggested in reference to White
and Lumpkin. We can carry both
of these counties. Look out for del
egates to 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 bouse the Sunday before the ex
ecutive committee of this district
met, with S. C. Dunlap, who held the
proxy of Oliver Wyly of Towns
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.
stb. The charges I now make
against you were, 1 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
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 yon 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 persona] let
ters at the expense of the truth.
Very truly yours,
Howard Thompson.
The American blockade in Cuba ex
tends for some 120 miles. That, of
course, does not begin to cover the coast
line of the island. It may be asked, why
is not the whole coast blockaded? There
are two reasons why. The first is that it
would take a greater fleet than we have
to accomplish that purpose: and the next
is that such an extensive blockade is
hardly necessary. The Spanish strength
is concentrated in and around Havana,
while the eastein end of the island is
virtually controlled by the insurgents.
If the United States bottle up Havana
and Matanzas, and one or two other
ports, the insurgents can be depended
upon to keep supplies from reaching the
Spaniards through the other parts of the
island.

~ AM ERICAN FROG EATERS.
They Consume Twice the Quantity That
French Epicarea Absorb.
France has long been regarded as
the “nation of frog eaters,’’ but it is
an established fact that the United
States of America now consumes
just twice as many frogs as France.
The value of frogs as food is now
thoroughly recognized. The meat
is white, delicate and very whole
some and palatable. Although eaten
at all seasons, it is in best condition
in fall and winter; in spring it is of
relatively inferior quality. Only
the hind legs are commonly util
ized, the meat on the other parts of
the body being edible, but m very
small quantity. In some localities,
however, the entire body, after the
removal of the viscera, is fried with
sggs and bread crumbs. The legs
are usually prepared for the table by
broiling, frying or stewing. The
prejudice that formerly existed
against frogs as an article of food
was probably based on their uncan
ny appearance and the association
in the minds of the people with
witches, and their disgusting habi
tat of marshes, pools, etc.
In a very complete pamphlet on
the “Edible Frogs of the United
States,” issued by the fish commis
sion, it is pointed out that the edible
batrachians which are associated
with the families of toads, tree
frogs, newts, salamanders, etc., be
long to 13 species and 6 subspecies
or varieties.
From this same source it is learn
ed that frog hunting is carried on in
all sections of the United States,
and is of economic importance in 15
states, while in nearly all the re- ’
maining states and territories frogs
are taken for local or home con
sumption. The states supplying the
largest quantities for the markets
are California, Missouri, New York,
Arkansas, Maryland, Virginia, Ohio
and Indiana, and of these New York
leads the list.
The special localities where frog
hunting is done are the marshes of
the western end of Lake Erie, the
Lewis and Grand reservoirs, in Ohio;
the marshes of the Sacramento and
San Joaquin rivers, California; the
valley of the Kankakee river, In
diana ; Oneida lake, Seneca river and
other waters of northern New York
and the St. Francis river and sunken
lands of the • Mississippi river in
Arkansas and Missouri.
The species commonly eaten are
the bullfrog, the green frog, the
spring frog and the western bull
frog. The most widely distributed
is the common frog,known variously
as the spring frog, shad frog or leop
ard frog. It is found from the Atlan
tic coast to the Sierra Neyada moun
tains, and from Laker Athabasca, in
Canada, to Guatemala,. Central
America. It reaches a length of
inches, exclusive of legs.
The green frog is found in the
eastern part of the United States
and Canada. This frog is especially
aquatic in habits, not bunting for
food on land, and frequenting all
kinds of fresh waters.
The pickerel frog, marsh frog, or
tiger frog, resembles the leopard
frog, but may l»e readily distinguish
ed from it by the bright yellow on
the thighs and legs. This particular
frog has a disagreeable odor, and it
is but rarely eaten.
The bullfrog is the largest of
North American frogs, reaching a
body length of over eight inches. It
has very much the same geographic
al range as the spring frog. The
western bullfrogs are not so well
known, and range from Montana
west to Puget sound, thence south
to California. —Philadelphia Record.
Cau’t Stoop to It.
“It’s a singular thing, but the
commission of crime seems confined
to certain kinds of people,” said
Bluff, putting on an air of wisdom.
“Yes,” rejoined Miggs. “That’rf i
well known. It’s confined to crimi
nals, of course.”
“Certain persons are almost sure
to become criminals,” continued •
Bluff, ignoring the interruption,
“w’hile others are never, or very
rarely, found in prison.”
“Because they are too lucky,”
murmured Miggs.
“It may seem strange, but fat ,
men seldom commit crime. This is
the assertion of criminologists. ”
“It doesn’t seem strange at all to
me,” remarked the irrepressible
Miggs. “Everybody knows that it is
difficult for fat men to stoop to any
thing low.”—Pearson’s Weekly.
When the sun sets at the extreme
western boundary of Alaska, it has

“Kill him,” was the mandate of the
