CANDLER OPENS THE BALL.
Hon. A. I). Candler formally
opened the State campaign last Sat
urday at Milledgeville. The speech
was well worthy an aspirant for the
highest office in the gift of the peo
ple of the great state of Georgia.
Col. Candler in his political
speeches, as in his daily conversation,
is honest and sincere and talks right
to the point.
He has gone into the campaign
with a vigor which characterizes him
in all his undertakings. He will
mAp.t. nannla nf all nartipfl in all
meet me people oi an parties in an
parts tpf Georgia face to face before
the election m October and will give
them good talk “straight from the
shoulder.”
In his speech last Saturday he ex
posed and denounced in proper terms
seme dirty methods which are being
used against him as the Democratic
candidate and he will continue to
strike in the same sturdy way.
Allen I). Candler has all the
elements which Georgia needs in a
governor. He is already well known
to the masses of the people, but be
fore this campaign is over they will
know him still better. As a con
sequence they will give him one of
the greatest majorities, if not the
very greatest, that any man ever re
ceived in this state.
There is no doubt that fusion is on
hand between the Republicans and
Populists this year, the former to
help the latter in the Governorship
and the latter to help the former in
the Congressional eleetions. While
this amalgamation is in no wise
dangerous, it is reassuring to know
that we have a gubernatorial candi
date who will not have to be toted
by the party, but who is himself an
invincible leader.
GOLD FOR COTTON PICKERS.
If the statement sent out by the
New York banks is correct cotton
pickers will be paid to a very great
extent this year in gold. It is the
custom of Southern banks to get
currency from the New York banks,
at the beginning of the cotton sea
son, with which to harvest and move
the cotton crop. They, get small
bills to facilitate the paying of the
cotton pickers. This year it seems
that the New York banks are not
able to respond to the demand of
their customers in the South for pa
per money. They have not more
than enough for their own needs,
and they cannot get any from the
treasury. The consequence is that
gold will have to be used in moving
the cotton crop. The prospect is
therefore that there will be plenty of
gold in circulation in the South tins
year.
w
WE WANT TO HEAR CANDLER.
There will be a mass meeting of
Hall county Democrats at'the court
house on first Tuesday in September
to select a new executive committee.
Perhaps four-fifths of our people
are anxious to have an address from :
Cel. Candler, and he tells us that
as he has no other appointment on
that day, in all probability he with
speak to the people of Hall county. ;
We will give notice definitely next
week, and in the tnean time expect
to have the Plow Boy of Pigeon
Roost with us.
MOTHER ENGLAND’S NEUTRALITY.
It is impossible to calculate the as
sistance England has been to us
during the war with Spain. When
England announced her neutrality it
meant that other nations must fol
low, for Britannia rules the ocean.
It meant that there must be a fair
tight. Then acting on her neutrality
England pushed Dewey’s ships from
the banks at Hong Kong that they
might go to Manila and smash the
Spanish fleet.
Being a young nation and used to
the ways of peace, we are not up on
the fine art of diplomacy, which con
sists mainly in saying nothing and
making the enemy think you hold a
royal flush ; but old Mother England,
who understands all about the busi
ness, did the diploming for us by
giving the world to understand that
the old blue hen would stand by her
chickens. It was no infraction of
the laws of neutrality when the Stars
and Stripes were floated all over
England on the Fourth of July, and
the Queen’s troops came over the
line of Canada and marched with
ours, but the incidents were worth a
thousand cannons to our cause.
A short while ago the French and
German papers were vehement in
the declaration that Dewey would
not be allowed to bombard Manila.
A strong German Squadron was sent
there, and it became very officious
and meddlesome. Prince Henry of
Germany went to Manila, and
Dewey met him courteously and
told him he was glad to see him, but
advised him to keep out of the line of
his fire when the trouble began with
the Spanish.
That Germany contemplated inter
ference there can be no question, but
the shadow of the English Jack was
always across her path. In his
anxiety the commander of the
German squadron asked Captain
Chichester of the English squadron,
what he expected to do in case
Admiral Dewey began the bombard
ment. The captain answered, sen
tentiously, “That is only kuown to
myself and Dewey.” That was
worth another thousand cannon to
the American arms.
Then the critical hour came, on
that fateful 12th of August, when
Dewey had demanded the surrender
of Manila and it had been refused.
The German war vessels stood in
Manila bay, bristling with guns ready
for action. The ships of Russia
were there and the ships of France
and Japan. Destiny brooded over
the scene. Something was going to
happen—and what ? Was American
nerve equal to the emergency? We
will see. The incomparable Dewey
stepped upon the bridge of the
Olynjpia and .with the international
signal,’ So’that all could read, he
signaled these words : “f Will need
the waters of the bay. All foreign
ships must move away.” No one
moved. There was suspense for per
haps a minute. Then the British
vessels began to move. They went
among Dewey’s ships and passed to
the rear. The ships of Japan fol
lowed. Then the band on Her
Majesty’s Ship Imraortalite struck
up the “Star Spangled Banner.”
That was worth several thousand
cannons to us, yet it was strictly
within the bounds of neutrality.
They could play whatever tune they
wished.
The ships of Germany slowly and
sullenly moved out to the other side.
The French and Russians followed.
Then Dewey blaz'd away at
Manila.
Long live the Anglo Saxon ! Long
live grand old England.
THAD PICKETT, GUERILLA.
Col. Candler addressed the citi
zens of Forsyth county at Cumming
Tuesday. Just before the speaking
began, which was te be from a stand
erected in the court house yard,
Sheriff Strickland approached Col.
Candler and said that Rev. Thad
Pickett was on hand and wanted a
division of time.
“All right!” responded Candler
“On equal terms ?” inquired the
sheriff.
“Yes, sir; on equal terms,” re
plied the Democratic standard
bearer.
Strickland hurried away. Can
dler waited about 20 minutes, but
no Pickett. Then George Bell
went to find him. Mr. Bell re
turned and reported that he had
found Thaddeus, who had told him
he was “going to dinner.”
Col. Candler proceeded with his
speech, but pretty soon the sheriff
appeared on the court house steps
and cried: “Everybody come into
the court house and hear Rev.
Thaddeus Pickett address the peo
ple on the issues of the day I”
Most of the Pops skedaddled away
to bear their idol, and the result was ,
a double-barreled speaking.
There is no need for us to com
ment on the action of this rabid dis
organizer. Au intelligent public can
form their own verdict.
BURYING THE HATCHET.
If Gen. “Joe” Wheeler thinks that
anybody in this part of the country
likes him less because, in the excite
ment of the moment, he dropped
thirty odd years out of his calendar
at Santiago and told his men to go in
and clean out the infernal Yankees,
let him come to New York and see
how a touch of nature makes the
whole country kin.—N. Y. Tribune.
KNOCKED OUT AT LAST.
Among the hopeful signs of the
times is the apparent consent of
many of the free silver leaders for
prosperity to come under the reign
of the gold standard. Only a short
while ago, according to these silver
phobists, the horizon in all directions
was filled with portents of calamity.
Conspicuous among these phobists
have been the Atlanta Constitution
and Augusta Chronicle, both of
whose editors ran for national dele
gate in 1892 and were allotted tin
medals, and both of whom W’ere
elected in 1896 on the crest of the
free silver wave and went to Chicago
rampant, clamorous, and spitting cot
ton for Teller, a chronic and unre
lenting Republican. After helping
to baptize the Democratic party in
the infamy of repudiation and
anarchism in behalf of the free silver
heresy, it was natural to expect these
gentlemen would hold out as nearly
forever as possible that the country
was going to the demnition bow
wows at a reasonably rapid gait in
consequence of the crime of ’73.
But the gentlemen have become
wearied of their hopeless uphill job.
The tasks of Sisyphus at his stone
and Ixion at his wheel were no less
fruitful of results than the tasks of
Messrs. Walsh and Howell in
barking at the irresistible march of
the inevitable. But being better
situated than their pagan prototypes,
they can stop when the procession
runs over them. We are glad to see
these two unregenerate and unrecon
structed organs of gastritis tuning
their lutes to the higher and better
strains of optimism and sunshine.
As strange as it may seem, the Con
stitution of last Sunday contained
this:
The Constitution predicts a splendid
business winter. Conditions are ripe for
a change.
There are better times ahead, and from
all sides come testimonials of the
awakening impulse of trade revival. The
farmer sees it in his overburdened store
houses and overrunning granaries; the
merchants and the factories feel it in the
increased demand for their goods and
when once trade revival has been started,
it wiil not stop until it has gone the full
length of the line.
With return of peace, after glorious
victory to American arms on land and
sea, confidence in the stability of the
government, which, though never
doubted, has now established itself more
firmly than ever in every section of the
country, has started off the revival in
trade interests of every kind.
It is the opinion of many of the lead
ing business men in the city that the
flood of prosperity has already started
and that the interests which are usually
the last to feel the presence of good times
have begun to revive and give token of
still further advancement.
And our friend the Chronicle,
whose editor once pretended to be
lieve the gold standard meant un
qualified disaster, has this:
All of the political economists and the
expert authorities in matters of com
merce predict a season of prosperity in
trade, and those interested in the sputh
foresee unusual opportunities for the
business men of this section.
* Augusta merchants are on the qui viVe
for a business this fall and winter.
One of the substantial evidences that
Augusta is all right is to be found in the
considerable amount of building that is
going on this summer. There is no bet
ter evidence of the prosperity of a city
than the fact that its monied men are
putting their money in real estate.
We gladly welcome the Constitu
tion and Chronicle into the ranks of
those who think more of the country
than free silver.
WILL IT EVER STOP ?
The State tax rate was fixed Mon
day by the Governor at 6.20 mills,
instead of 5.21 as was the rate last
year.
Returns from 136 counties have
been received, which show a falling
off from last year’s values of $7,750,-
000.
The increase is made necessary by
the increase of $400,000 in the com
mon school fund.
Where is this thing going to stop ?
Is it reasonable to suppose that the
pensioners and the schools have
reached the point of contentment
that they will not clamor for
more ?
Those three estimable men who
ran for governor last spring were
loud in their declarations that taxes
were too high and that the brakes
would have to be put on and the
leaks stopped. And yet these three
gentlemen held an astonishing unity
of opinion that the schools and the
pensions should not be touched.
Now, to the mind of a layman who
has no axe to grind it is patent that
the place to apply the brakes
and the corks is the common schools
and the pensions.
The pension laws should be revised
and no pension paid to a man who
does not need it to aid him in sup
porting himself and family. Many
of our wealthy men are drawing
pensions paid for by the poor. Many
of them draw their money and loan
it to their poor neighbors at high
rates of interest. This is an outrage,.
The way to better the common
schools is to get better teachers, and
not by stringing the term out over
six months in the year. Very few
poor children can afford to go more
than three months, and many can
not go at all, for they have to work
all the time to enable their fathers to
pay their taxes.
A PROPHECY.
We wish to go on record early.
Here is the way we will guess the
Republican national ticket will read
in 1900 : .
For President—William McKin
ley of Ohio.
For Vice-President —Theodore
Roosevelt of New York.
And in addition we will guess that
the ticket will be elected.
COL. CANDLER ON SILVER. * ]
> There is likely to be a question as
. to what Col. Candler said in respect
to silver at Milledgeville in his
• speech opening his campaign. 1
The Macon Telegraph quotes him 1
as follows : “Free silver is not a car- <
dinal doctrine of the Democratic ,
party. There are Democrats as true
1 and loyal as I am who believe in the
, gold standard. I will not read them
i out of the party. I don’t know what '
is absolutely best to be done. I ex- 1
. pect them to get into line with me. 1
If I find I am wrong, I will go to '
• them and say so. Democracy is
i worth more to me than either gold '
, or silver.”
; Our report of the speech does not '
1 touch upon what Col. Candler said
’ on the silver question, but the Con- 1
• stitution, which purports to give .the ’
full text of the speech, has quite a ’
, different report of what he said on '
’ that question.
We do not undertake to say
whether the Telegraph’s or the Con- '
■ stitution’s report is the correct one, 1
i but if the Telegraph’s report is the '
correct one Col. Candler has strength
ened himself greatly with those Dem
ocrats of the State who are confident
that the best interest of the country |
i require the maintenance of the gold ,
standard. There is room for an hon
, est difference of opinion. Besides,
the declaration appeared in the na- 1
tional platform of the Democratic
> party for the first time in 1896. It ]
i is a declaration that is not essential
; to the success of the democratic
party. Indeed, it is a question wheth
' er the party’s chances for success
would not be better without it than
■ with it. Os course, as long as it is a
, part of the Democratic platform it
will have the support of the great .
majority of Democratic votes, but 1
there will always be enough Demo
crats in national campaigns who will 1
1 oppose it to endanger the success of i
■ the party.—Savannah News, t j
We can dispel all doubt on this
’ question. We showed Colonel
Candler the above editorial of the
j News, and after reading it he said,
’ with his usual emphasis and direct
, ness, that the Macon Telegraph’s re- ,
’ port was correct. Said he : “I have ,
J declared in every speech I have made
’ in the state during the present year
[ that free coinage of silver is not a
i cardinal doctrine of the Democratic
’ party.”
’ We think this settles it. ■

MRS. HOBSON’S PLAN.
. The heroic act of Lieutenant Hob
-1 son, in sinking the Merrimac, is hav
. ing a beneficial influence in more
’ ways than one. It is not only in
l-- . , J
r spiring our navy with an unconquer
’ able spirit, l?ut it is creating in moth
ers a desire that their sons shall be
ready to perform acts of heroism
. whenever the opportunity presents
. itself, and is showing them thate if
they would have sons who would ’-e
--} fleet credit upon them and their cor!n
- try they must be good mothers. Zy
J saying that they ipust be good m jfc
s ers is meant something more tfyan
j that they must be kind. It is mei#nt
that they must train up their stliis
t r I
, properly. They must make thia
s God-fearing men with high idealsfof
’ the duties and obligations of Ise.
’ Lieutenant Hobson was fortunatewn
having a good mother—a mot®>r
who made it possible for him toße
what he is. In an interview, in
7 New York a day or two ago, Mrs.
Hobson gave her views as to how a
boy should be trained. In the course
of her talk she said :
“Teach boys first to fear God and serve
» Him. Teach them to be upright, honest
t and to do their duty always and to be
frank and amiable. A mother should be
a companion to her sons. There’s a
5 great deal in that. By companionship
with him a mother keeps her boy’s confi-
> dence. Give him the best books to read
. —books that will give him high ideals,
high purposes; books that will stimulate
him and teach him never to fall short of
j his most lofty purposes.”
The foregoing should sink deeply
in the minds of mothers who have
? sons. The wish of every mother
j who is worthy of the name of mother
» is that her sons shall become worthy
t citizens, and shall achieve success of
r some kind. They can, in almost ev
ery instance, make or mar their ca-
> reers. Those mothers who follow
> the course marked out by Mrs. Hob
-3 son are certain to be well repaid for
3 their trouble, by seeing their sons
> become honored and respected citi
j zens and, in some instances, called to
r high and responsible positions.
i
BUSINESS PROSPERITY.
> The return of peace will mark the
; era of business prosperity. For some
; time natural conditions have been ia
i vorable to a healthy state of com
merce and manufacturing. Last
I year’s crops were good and prices
i fairly high. This year holds out a
■ promise of a repetition of last year’s
' wealth of crops. During the past 12
; months exports both of agricultural
and manufactured products have
i been unprecedented in the history of
i the country. The majority of rad
. roads are reporting an increase .n
i their earning and bank clearances 1
I have been constantly on the gain
• within the last few months.
> . JUDGE ESTES.
We commend to the legislators
from this section of the State the
candidacy of Judge J. B. Estes, of
Gainesville, for the judgeship of the
Northeastern circuit. Judge Estes
will be remembered by members of
. the recent convention for his admira
s ble speech placing Colonel Candler
I in nomination for governor. To the
people of North Georgia and the bar
of the State he is known as a fine
lawyemnd excellent judge, as well *
as an honorable and honored citizen
of Georgia. It is likely that Judge <
Estes will be elected by a compli
mentary vote.—Augusta Chronicle, i
FREE COINAGE OF HONESTY NEEDED.
We are glad to see the press of
the State take up the matter of
needed reform in our tax laws. The
Greensboro Herald and Journal, in
closing a very timely article, com
menting on the returns from Green
county, says:
“We admit, the rate of taxation in
Georgia is high. It will continue to
be so, until people act honest when
they face the tax receiver. What we
need is rigid enforcement of law.
Let a board of equalizers be appoint
ed, and where false returns are made,
let the individual who made the re
turns be indicted and prosecuted.
By the method we suggest really dis
honest people will be punished, and
the conscience of those who do not
intend to do wrong, but follow the
debauching example set by perhaps
wealthier neighbors, will be aroused.
Then taxes will cease to be a burden
to the poor, and the State will make
an honorable, creditable showing to
the world.”
JACKSON COUNTY DEMOCRATS.
The Democrats of Jackson county
held a primary last Wednesday and
nominated the following ticket:
For Representatives, J. N. Hold
er, J. R. Hoscii.
Clerk and Treasurer, A. C. Ap
pleby.
Sheriff, W. T. Stevens.
Tax Collector, A. H. Brook.
Tax Receiver, G. M. D. Moon.
Surveyor, C. O. Pittman.
Coroner, Lee Johnson.
About 1,300 votes were cast, which
is a good showing.
The old regime having been prac
tically eliminated, the prospects of
success are very bright for the party
in Jackson county.
BEFORE AND AFTER TAKING.
Most all of the foreign nations,
now that the war is about over, are
parading the fact that they are our
friends. A little while ago, old moth
er England was about the only one
of the lot that exhibited anything
like substantial sympathy for our
government. The man on top usually
has plenty of fair weather friends,
while the “under dog” gets a kick
from everybody. We are at least
happy that we are not the under
dog.
BLEEDING KANSAS.
There is more money in Kansas
than the owners of it can find any
use for. Bank Examiner Briedenthal
has been advised by a number of
bankers that their vaults are full to
oveiflowing, and that they cannot
find profitable investments. In one
town of 400 population there is a
bank which has deposits of more than
SIOO,OOO, with only $25,000 loaned,
and with cash and sight exchange
amounting to $82,000. The exam
iner says there is more than S2OO for
every man, woman and child in the
town. _
TGu MUCH SINGING.
Editor of The Eagle :
I was sorry to read in the Eagle,
under the heading of “Much Sing
ing,” a notice of an all-day singing
in South Bend Methodist church on
the 3d Sunday in September. “Too
Much Singing” would have been a
more appropriate heading, when the
duty of that church to its conference
is considered. South Bend cannot
be ignorant of the decision of the
District Conference in our midst,
some years ago. That conference
condemned all-day singing meetings,
especially on the Lord’s Day, as be
ing opposed to the interests of
Christ’s kingdom. I hope South
Bend will reconsider her action and
wisely resolve to leave all-day sing
ings, especially on Sabbath days, to
Sabbath-breakers and to worldlings
who fear not God and observe not
His day.
This day, says Ralston, a standard
Methodist authority, can only be
properly hallowed by being devoted
strictly and fully to the worship of
God and attendance upon religious
duties. It is idle to say that all-day
singing has anything to do with the
worship of God. It is neither wor
ship nor a religious duty. It has no
more to do with the worship ©f
Almighty God than the religion of
the Comanche Indians has to do
with the salvation of the human race.
There are six churches in Hall
circuit. South Bend is one, and a
prominent church. It is said it
evinced its independence (for want
of a better word) by discarding the
services of the conference appointed
preacher and calling a Baptist preach
er to rnn a protracted meeting within
its walls last year. The churches
see the fruit of that meeting in the
present attitude of that church. The
all day singing meetings are exclu
sively Baptist. I mean nothing but
love to my Baptist brethren when I
say that only Baptist churches have
opened their houses of worship for
all-day singing meetings. It is quite
foreign to use Methodist churches
for such purposes.
The churches call upon South
Bend to repair the breach by chang
ing its notice to an all-day religious
meeting, instead of all-day singing
meeting. What if the crowd is less
because the way is narrower; the I
blessing of God will attend a meet
ing that has for its object the salva
tion of souls and the sanctification of
believers. Chas. R. Clemons.
The Glades, Aug. 22, 1898.
The Augusta Chronicle thinks that
Georgia farmers have lost $1,000,000
by not canning, preserving and dis
tilling their peaches this year.
Leisurely Lane.
la there no road now to Leisurely lane? We 1
traveled it long ago, ]
▲ place for the lagging of leisurely steps, sweet
and shady and slow. ]
There were rims of restful hills beyond and
fields of dreamful wheat, . *
With shadows of clouds across them blown and ,
poppies asleep at our feet.
. <
There lads and maids on a Sunday met and
strolled them two and two. 1
The leaves they laced in a roof o’erhead, and
only the sun peered through.
And there was time to gather a rose and time
for a wood bird's call
And plenty of time to sit by'a stream and (
hearken its ripple and fall.
la there no road now to Leisurely lane? God
knows we have hurried afarl
There was once a lamp through the brooding ,
dusk and over the tree a star.
There was once a breath of the clover bloom—
Sweet heaven, we have hurried so long!— ,
And there was a gate by a white rose clasped
and out of the dusk a song.
That song—the echo is strange and sweet. The
voice—it is weak and old.
It hath no part with its fierce, wild rusa and
/ this hard, mad tight for gold.
It hath no part with the clamor and din and
the jarring of wheel and stone.
Oh, listen, my heart, and forget—forget that i
we reap the bread we have sown!
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane, where
lingering, one by one.
The summoning bells of t wilight time over the
meadows blown
May find us strolling our homeward way, glad
of the evening star?
Is there no road now to Leisurely lane? God ;
knows we have hurried afar!

The Song of the Corn.
I was dry and dusty.
I was weak and weary.
Now I'm glad and lusty,
And the earth looks cheery.
Oh, the soaking,
Mirth provoking,
Laughter making raiul
Soft and silky,
Mild and milky,
Grows my golden grain.
Listen to the laughter
That my leaves are making
When the winds come after
Kisses, softly shaking!
Oh, health giving,
Breathing, living,
Heaven pouring rain I
Come, caress me.
Kiss me, bless me,
Once and once again!
Let your hearts be singing!
Peal your paeans, peoples!
Set the joy bells ringing
In the lofty steeples!
Praises render
To the sender
Os the joyous rain,
Os the living,
The life giving,
Os the precious rain!
—John P. Sjolander.
A Man of War.
He perched himself upon a box,
And loud of war talked he.
He fairly frothed to drive the dons
Pellmell into the sea.
He did not fear torpedo boats
And mines and cruisers—no.
We thought we'd have to hold him back
Or else to war he'd go.
The way he talked of what he’d do
Made every cheek grow pale,
And often 'neath his warlike glance
The stoutest heart did quail.
A thousand Spaniards could not scare
Nor put him once to flight.
You would have thought he oould have
checked
The lightning in its might.
The while I listened to his boasts
A chill ran through my blood.
I saw the Spanish navy sink
Into the angry flood.
And some one said, “Let Uncle Sam
Just hire this hero true,
And Morro's flag will not be seen
When he his job gets through."
At last a woman small and weak
Before us did appear.
She, stopped the moment she beheld
This fearless volunteer.
"Josephus!” That was all she said.
Each syllable we heard.
He left his box and followed her
Nor spoke another word.

What Frances Willard Lived Vox* *
. She lived for those yho ioved her,
r or who knAw her true,
For the 1 wen that smiled above her
And'r ■ ■ ted her spirit, too,
For human ties that bound her,
For the tasks that God assigned her,
For the bright hopes yet to find her
And the good that she could do.
She loved to held communion
With all that was divine,
To feel there was a union
'Twixt nature’s heart and thine,
To profit by affliction,
Reap truths from fields of fiction,
Grow wiser from conviction
And fulfill God’s grand design.
She lived to hail the season,
By Rifted ones foretold,
When man shall live by reason
And not alone for gold. ,
For “the cause” that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance,
For the future in the distance
And the good that she could do.
