REGISTER. REGISTER.
The registration books will close
on the 14th of this month. Every
Democrat in the county who has not
already done so should register at
once.
Nearly every Populist in the
county has registered, while scarcely
half the Democrats have performed
this most important duty.
General apathy and overconfidence
slay their thousands and often turn
good majorities into minorities.
We trust a word to the wise is
sufficient.
Register at once.
BARKER AND DONNELLY.
The Middle-of-the-Road Populists
held their national convention at
Cincinnati this week and nominated
theiu Presidential ticket for 1900,
with Wharton Barker of Penn
sylvania for President and Ignatius
Donnelly of Minnesota for Vice-
President.
The platform adopted is the
longest on record, containing over
7,000 words. It declares for legal
tender greenbacks and against gold
and silver.
Marion Butler was denounced
as a second Benedict Arnold.
If any fusing is done in 1900 the
Br)unites will have to do it all.
ABOUT COTTON.
Secretary Hester’s New Orleans
cotton exchange annual report was
issued in full last Saturday. He puts
the cotton crop of 1897-98 at 11,199,-
994 bales, an increase of 2,242,030
bales over 1896-97, and says that of
this increase 827,090 was in Texas,
including Indian Territory.
Mr. Hester puts the average com
mercial value of the crop at $28.62
per bale against $36.76 last year,
$41.09 the year before, and S3O in
1894-95, and the total value of crop
at $320,553,000 against $321,925,000
last year and $294,095,000 year be
fore last.
Before the war the largest cotton
crop ever grown was 4,861,000 bales.
This was in 1859, and it was not un
til 1878 that a greater crop was pro
duced. That crop was 5,074,155
bales. In 1887 the crop for the first
time exceeded 7,000,000 bales. In
1891 the crop reached 9,000,000
bales, and in 1894 very nearly 10,-
000,000 bales were produced. The
crop of 1894 was the banner or rec
ord crop down to the crop growm
last year.
The exports of cotton to other
countries rose in the season just end
ed to the unprecedented figures of
7,508,694 bales, about equally divid
ed between Great Britain and the
continent.
The price of cotton has had a wide
range. In 1825 it stood at 13 cents
a pound, falling in 1831 to 7 cents,
and rising in 1835 to 15 cents. Five
cent cotton was unknown in New
York until 1843, but in 1850 the
price was 11 cents. During the war
the price went up in New York to
$1.90. This was in 1864. The low
est price in that year was 72 cents.
In 1870, long after the end of the
war, the price was nearly 26 cents ;
in 1880 it was 13 cents, and in 1890
it stood at about those figures. Af
ter 1895 prices began to seek lower
ranges, and now five-cent cotton is
no longer a novelty.

MR. CLEVELAND’S GIFT.
Ex-President Cleveland has given
sixty five acres of land near Prince
ton to be used as a school farm for
boys from the city slums. This in- •
stitution will be conducted in away
that will cause it to accomplish much
good.
There will be no suggestion of the
average juvenile reformatory in con
nection with this plan for saving
bright boys who would otherwise
grow’ up in an atmosphere of vice
and crime. Instead of confining the :
boys to one large building, so sug
gestive of a penal institution, cot-1
tages will be erected and occupied
by small groups of the boys. The I
belief is that the farm soon will be
self-sustaining, as it is desired to
avoid all appearance of charity.
Associated with Mr. Cleveland in
this practical reformatory movement
are several other prominent men,
some of whom are educators and
others business men. The farm
school will be well equipped in all
respects and will be under the direc
tion of skilled instructors in farming,
as well as excellent teachers in the
ordinary branches of common school
education.
Mr. Cleveland cou'd hardly have
devised a better plan for the rescue
of boys who are being carried into
lives of worthlessness and crime.
The farm school which the ex
president has founded will, we be
lieve, become a model reformatory,
for there is everything in the plans
for it to suggest the possibilities of
great usefulness.
THE SHRINKAGE OF HONESTY.
We think a reform in our tax laws
is absolutely necessary and without
such a reform the burden of taxation
will continue to rest unevenly upon
the people. The man who gives in
his property at its true value under
the present system, while his neigh
bor returns his property at one-half
its value, bears more than his share
of the burdens of taxation. There
is no remedy for this injustice under
the present laws. The next legis
lature should pass a law providing
for a board of assessors in each
county in the state, so that all
property shall be required to be re
turned for taxation at its actual
market value. When this is done,
the tax rate in Georgia can be re
duced one-third or one-half, and the
burden of taxation will rest more
uniformly upon all of the people.

A PERTINENT INQUIRY.
Editor Eagle :
The time is at hand, according to
the opinions of some of our citizens
io that part of the city known as
“New Town,” that a night-watch
man should be placed on duty, with
headquarters at the Southern depot,
for the better and quicker protection
of life and property in that part of
town. What say our city fathers ?
Will this become an issue in the
next municipal campaign? It may.
Think about it. Citizen.
LET IT SPREAD A LITTLE.
Editor of the Eagle :
Why is it that for the past few
years the suggestions for Aldermanic
honors have been men who are
centrally located, or very near the
public square ? Why not get one
now and then at a respectable
distance from thS center? It looks
like a ring, and a small one at that.

Instead of gold the returning ad

JIM BLUDSOE.
By John Hay, the new Secretary of State.
Wai, no, I can’t tell whar he lives,
Because he don’t live, you see;
Leastways, he’s got out of the habit
Os livin’ like you and me.
Whar have you been for the last three year
That you haven’t heard folks tell
How Jim Bludsee passed in his cheeks
On the night of the Prairie Belle?
He weren't no saint—them engineers
Is all pretty much alike;
One wife in Natchez-under-the-Hill,
And another one here in Pike;
A keerless man in his walk was Jim,
And an awkward hand in a row,
But he never dunked and he never lied —
I reckon he never knowed how.
And this was all the religion he had:
To treat his engine well;
Never be passed on the river;
To mind the pilot’s bell;
And if ever the Prairie Belle took tire,
A thousand times he swore
He’d bold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last soul got ashore.
All boats has their day on the Mississip,
And her day come at last;
The Morningstar was a bAter boat,
But the Belle, she wouldn’t be passed;
And so she come tearin’ along that night—
The oldest craft on the line—
With a nigger squat on her safety-valve,
And her furnace crammed with pine.
The tire bust out as she cleared the bar
And burnt a hole in the night,
And quick as flash she turned and made
For the willow bank on the right.
There was runnin’and cursin’, but Jim yelled
out
Over all the infernal roar,
“I’ll hold her nozzle agin the bank
Till the last galoot’s ashore I”
Through the hot, black breath of the burnin’
boat
Jim Bludsoe’s voice was heard,
And they all had trust in his cussedness,
And knowed he would keep his word.
And sure’s you’re born, they all got off
Afore the smokestack fell—
And Bludsoe’s ghost went up alone
In the smoke of the Prairie Belle.
He weren’t no saint—but at judgment day
I’d run my chance with Jim
’Longside some pious gentleman
That wouldn’t shook hands with him.
He seen his duty, a dead-sure thing—
And he went for it thar and then;
And Christ ain’t a-goin’ to be too hard
On a man that died for men.
TOO MUCH SINGING.
Editor of the Eagle :
I am before you again. I wish
you would tell your correspondents
not to be personal in their remarks.
Brother Dickerson suspects me of ill
will towards the Baptist church, and
Brother Scoggins accuses me of
“bossyism.”
The people are not edified by
personal reflections. They want the
merits of the subject discussed. It
devolves on those who are of a con
trary opinion to prove by scripture
and reason that the statements I have
advanced are not correct. We want
no thought or surmises on a question
of such vital importance—a question
concerning the people.
Are </ZZ who go to “all day Sunday
singing” meetings sabbath breakers
or not? The affirmative of the
question I expect to prove by scrip
ture, reason, and example.
First, in regard to Bro. Scoggins’
reply : He says he believes singing
a part of worship. Who said it was
not ? He says singing is the life of
religion. That he believes. I do
not. In the ministry of Christ there
is no mention of singing, except the
Paschal hymn on one occasion.
Were none converted under Christ’s
ministry? Bro. S. says a protracted
meeting “with good preaching but
without good singing will drag.”
That Ido not believe. My brother
puts song in the place of the Holy
i Ghost. On the day of Pentecost
Peter preached and 3,000 were con
verted without song. Peter preached
again, and 5,000 were converted
' without song. The meetings, preach
. ings, and labors of the Apostles, as
recorded by the Acts of the Apostles,
were without song. The word
“song,” or “singing,” is not found in
that Book. The Holy Ghost was
the quickening power, and not song.
My brother claims he neither
knows me nor Ralston. Has he
heard of Adam Clark ? On the
words, “I will sing with the spirit,”
that great commentator says:
“Those whose hearts are right with
God have generally no skill in music,
and those who are well skilled in
music have seldom a devotional spirit,
but are generally proud, self-willed,
contentious, and arrogant.” Os all
the liberal arts surely music is the
least useful, however ornamental it
may be. And should anything be
esteemed in the church <f God but
in proportion to its utility ? A good
singer among the people of God,
who has not the life of God in his
soul, is vox et prceterea nihil. As
Heliogabalus said of the nightingale’s
brains on which he desired to sup,
“he is nothing but a sound?'
But Bro. Scoggins says the Geor
gia Musical Convention is doing good
—that since its organization, 17 years
ago, it has produced from its ranks
one missionary preacher !
Brother Scoggins has evidently
misapprehended the subject. It was
not affirmed in my letter to you that
singing is not worship. There is
singing which is worship, and there
is singing which is not ’ worship, ac
cording to Adam Clark. I wrote
what I did on the authority of
Ralston, whose teachings concerning
the Christian Sabbath and its ob
servance are received as scriptural
by all the Methodist churches on the
continent of America. Those teach
ings are in direct conflict to all
organizations having for their object
Sunday singings, or, as Bro. Dicker
son calls it, “all day singing.” There
is no worship in such gatherings on
the Lord’s day, and they that en
gage in them violate the spirit of the
Sabbatic law.
Bro. Dickerson’s letter to you is
wide of the mark. He speaks of a
certain class of persons. My ex
hortation is to all. The brother asks
us to satisfy him that all are Sabbath
breakers who may engage in the “all
day Sunday singing” in South Bend
church. What kind of evidence will
satisfy my brother? Os course he
knows that he that breaks the Sab
bath fears not God, for he sins
against the commandment of God ;
and he that fears not God will not
regard His Day ; so it follows, a Sab
bath breaker fears not God and re
gards not His Day.
My brother forgets the resolutions
of that District Conference to which
I referred in my letter to you. That
conference condemned the “all day
singing” meetings on the Lord’s
Day as being opposed to the interests
of Christ’s Kingdom. Will not the
united voice of the preachers of the
District satisfy my brother?
Ralston writes concerning the
Lord’s Day: “There is a sacred
stillness which marks this consecrated
day, a solemnity connected with the
sound of church going bell and its
peacefully assembling multitudes,
that all must feel and acknowledge.
LTnder these influences thousands of
the thoughless and the gay are led to
the house of God, and thus brought
within reach of the blessed word ;
and in this way each returning Sab
bath numbers its multitudes reclaimed
from vice ; and washed and sanctified
by redeeming grace, to swell the
numbers of the saints on earth and
prepare them for the mansions on
high.”
Is not the trend of the “all day
Sunday singing” meeting the other
way ? Does it not draw the
“thoughtless and the gay” from the
house of God, and from the sound of
the blessed Word ? Who is re
claimed from vice by going to an
“all day Sunday singing” meeting?
Who is “washed and sanctified” by
the songs sung in an “all day Sunday
singing” meeting ? Do not these
meetings draw away men and wo
men, especially the young people,
trom the house of God, from the
preaching of the Word, from wor
shiping God in spirit and in truth,
praising Him with solemn song, and
from attending to the ordinances of
His house? Are not these “all day
Sunday singing” meetings responsi
ble to God for the lost thousands led
astray by them, the thoughtless and
the gay, who, neglecting the means
of grace, died Sabbath breakers,
without fear of God and regard for
His Day, and who now people that
hell prepared only for the devil and
his angels? Oh, what an awakening
from the “all day Sunday singing”
to the wailing of the damned !
Will not Ralston, an authority en
dorsed by the Methodist church
South, satisfy my brother ?
Singing as a means of instruction
may be profitable and interesting, if,
like other worldly undertakings, it
be practiced on week days. It has
no more right to rob God of His
Day than scholastic institutions have
the right to open their doors for the
instruction of music and song and
like arts on the Sabbath day.
I turn to Methodist Discipline.
How shall we guard against formal
ity in singing ? Answer: By choos
ing such hymns as are proper for the
occasion. 2, By not singing too
much at a time—seldom more than
five or six verses. 3, By suiting the
time to the words. 4, By often
stopping short when the words are
given out and asking the people,
“Now, do you know what you said
last ? Did. you speak no more than
you felt?" (The italics are mine).
Can any one tell me what hymns
are proper for an “all day singing”
occasion ? Can any one tell me if
“all day Sunday singing” is not too
much singing? Who ever says,
‘ Now, do you know what you said
list? Did you speak no more than
you felt ?” Hear these “all day Sun
day singers” and tell us how they
feel.
At the cross, at the cross, where I first saw the
light,
And the burden of my heart rolled away;
It was there by faith I received my sight,
And now I am happy all the day.
But, alas, how soon backsliddt n
Where is the blessedness I knew
When first I saw the Lord?
Where is the soul-refreshing view
Os Jesus and his word?
But, alackaday—
Tormenting pangs distract his breast;
Where’er he turns he finds no rest;
Death strikes the blow—he groans and cries,
And in despair and horror dies.
Which is most suitable for an “all
day Sunday singing” meeting?
Will not the Methodist Discipline
satisfy my brother ?
The General Rules of .the Metho
dist church include all the ordinances
of God. Here is the list: The pub
lic worship of God. The ministry of
the Word, either read or expounded.
The Supper of the Lord. Family
and private prayer. Searching the
Scriptures. Fasting or abstinence.
These are all. “All day Sunday
singing” is not here.
Will not the General Rules satisfy
my brother ? Adam Clark, Ralston,
the Discipline, General Rules, Dis
trict Conference. Are these not
enough ? Let me add the united
voice of the Methodist church, bish
ops, pastors and itinerant preachers,
each and every one will answer the
question with me in the affirmative.
Will not all these satisfy my
brother ?
I exhort my people, I exhort Meth
odists, Come out from these “all day
Sunday singers.” They will do you
no good, but harm. If South Bend
has chosen a Baptist preacher to con
duct revival services she has acted
un-Methodistic. The churches of
Hall county pray for her. There is
no harmony between Methodists and
Baptists in doctrine. They are apart
in doctrine as far as the east is from
the west. There is no spiritual sym
pathy between them. Each consci
entiously believes the other is wrong.
It is only a belief in a common Lord
that binds them at all. They live
courteously as brethren, love one an
other, and hear one another preach,
but any further spiritual tie is out of
the question. South Bend did right
to call a Baptist preacher within her
walls if her object was only to hear
the views of his church on election,
immersion, the table of the Lord and
the rejection of children to the ordi
nance of baptism.
I hope South Bend is satisfied.

THE BEAUTY OF GOOD ROADS.
A Delightful Summer Jaunt From
Clayton to Turnerville.
The lawyers who, after attending a
three weeks court at home and then
want to Rabun and went through a two
weeks term there, were a tired and care
worn looking set of men on their return
to the city last Saturday night.
One grew so tired that he went out
fox-hunting on the last morning of court
in order to get a fresh breath of moun
tain air, and to relieve the mental strain
he was on, before court opened.
Another grew so tired that he took a
young attorney into a criminal case, on
the side of the defense, with him. This
attorney stated to the jury that they did
not expect them to acquit the defendant.
When court was over and they got in a
hack to start home they breathed a deep
sigh of relief. But their worry was not
yet at an end. The rains had been heavy,
and the mountain roads were very decep
tive. The apparently hard roadbed in
many cases proved to be only a hard
crust on top, which the weight of the
horses and vehicle would crush and fall
through, leaving nothing but the sides of
the animals and body of the back visible.
Then the tug of war would begin. The
horses would have to be unhitched and
helped out of the mire, and with main
strength and the use of jack knives sap
lings were cut down and used as skids to
get the hack out. Then came the quick
sands on the branches which caused
more troubie. In some of their strug
gles to get out of the bogs the leg of one
of the horses was badly cut which made
the anxious attorneys long for an ox
team.
Still this was not all. They drove into
a swollen stream and their valises were
baptized and the white sheets of type
written documents were changed to a
beautifully tinted purple hue.
Finally the railroad station was
reached, and it is said that railroads
were never so much appreciated. They
forthwith passed a resolution declaring
that the back of their hands would for
ever be against any of their traveling as
sociates on this occasion who would
hereafter take a case against any rail
road corporation.
However, they might not relish any
clients taking this resolution seriously.
The Milledgeville Union-Recorder,
in referring to the present unjust
method of assessing taxes in Geor
gia, says: “The next legislature
should take up the matter of bring
ing about the needed reform in hand.
There should be a board of tax as
sessors in each county.”

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company
