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. x 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. —Columbus Enquirer. 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. Vox. Instead of gold the returning ad venturers from Alaska are bringing resolutions denouncing the liars who led them into the bootless chase. And they usually specify the trans portation companies as the liars. The transportation companies simply, we suppose, reaped a harvest of fools, 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. Chas. R. Clemons. The Glades, Sept. 6, 1898. The fact that the salary of the Archbishop of Santiago has been re duced from SIB,OOO to $6,000 a year is very apt to cause the good man to subscribe to the views of war as ex pressed by Gen. Sharman.—Nashville American. Multiplied Sorrow. Prof. H. J. Pearce was called yester day to Columbus to the bedside of his two bright little boys, Hayward and Thomas, who have fever.

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.” Miraculous Benefit RECEIVED FROM Dr. Miles* New Heart Cure. f W WRi*' ELI P. BABCOCK, of Avoca, N. Y., a veteran of the 3rd N. Y.

I suffered for years, as result of army life, from sciatica which affected my heart in the worst form, my limbs swelled from the ankles up. I bloated until I was unable to button my clothing; had sharp pains about the heart, smothering spells and shortness of breath. For three months I was unable to lie down, and all the sleep I got was in an arm chair. I was treated by the best doctors but gradually grew worse.
