THE SEWER QUESTION.
Some time ago a largely-signed
petition was presented to the City
Council urging the necessity of a
system of sewers for the city.
At the meeting of the Council last
Thursday night a committee was ap
pointed to wait upon the County
Commissioners and endeavor to en
list their co-operation in the move
ment. This committee presented
the matter to the Commissioners
Monday and were told that the
county would be unable to undertake
the matter this year, because of the
increased expenditures on account of
repairs to bridges and roads made
necessary by the recent heavy rains,
and because of the extraordinary ex
penses of the recent session of supe
rior court.
Thus the matter stands. The city
authorities are willing to go any
reasonable length toward the accom
plishment of this much needed im
provement, yet they can hardly see
their way clear at this time to under
take alone the excessive expenditure
which the work will involve.
A NOBLE SPANIARD.
Admiral Cervera, together with
his staff and the seamen captured at
Santiago on the fateful July 3, de
parted for Spain iast Saturday. The
admiral addressed the following note
to the people of the United States:
Portsmouth, N. H., Sept. 11.
To the American People:
To-morrow 1 sail for Spain and wish
to say to you, that I sail with my heart
full of gratitude for the sympathy that
has been shown me by the people of this
country. My farewell takes with it ev
ery assurance that the memory of this
sympathy 1 shall warmly and actively
conserve during the rest of mv life.
I take advantage of this occasion to
subscribe myself as your faithful and
obedient servant, who kisses your hands.
Pascual Cervera.
There is a beautiful sentiment in
the career of this knightly man since
the day of the brave deed of Hobson
and his men. When he lifted those
daring American sailors upon the
deck of his flagship, and kissed them
each on the forehead in recognition
of their extraordinary heroism, he
opened the way into every American
heart.
He is the only man that was ever
wined and dined and lionized while a
prisoner of war in a hostile country.
It was all a noble tribute to Admiral
Cervera and the people of America.
HEARTS BOWED DOWN.
The entire country will sympathize
with General Wheeler in the death
of his son, Thomas H. Wheeler, who
was a cadet in the naval academy.
The young man, in company, with
Lieut. Kirkpatrick, went in swim
ming at Montauk Point, last. Friday,
and both were swept out to sea and
drowned. Late that night the bodies
were recovered. Young Wheeler
was attached to the Columbia during
the war. He was a promising young
man and gave promise of becoming
a credit to his distinguished father.
SEEMS TO KNOW HIM.
The hatchet-faced imbecile who
runs at the Pickens County Herald
in Albert Turner’s absence continues
to steal the only readable paragraphs
in his fly-specked sheet. We are
surprised that Albert will allow such
a numskull and literary thief as
Boyd Mincey to hang around his
office.—Alpharetta Free Press.
WILL BE CANDLER DAY.
As a fitting round-up of a victori
ous campa'gn, Col. Allen D. Candler
will make a speech to his home folks
at Gainesville on the first Tuesday
in October, which is the day before
the election.
Other distinguished speakers will
be with us_on that occasion, and a
great basket dinner will be given, in
which all the people of Hall and ad
joining counties will participate.
Several thousand people will be
here and it will be a grand reunion
and a revival of old fashioned De
mocracy.
CAN’T COME MARCHING HOME.
In spite of all reports to the con
trary, the State Administration has
received a telegraphic despatch from
Col. Bryan that he will not be in
Nebraska in time to take part in the
fall campaign. The managers of the
fusion forces are very much exasper
ated over the turn affairs have taken
concerning the Silver Battalion.
As a matter of fact a very large
percentage of the privates and all of
the officers of Col. Bryan’s command
are fusion politicians of more or less
influence. The loss of such a body
of managers means a potential men
ace to the fortunes of the fusion
forces of the State.
Gov. Holcomb has repeatedly tele
graphed the War Department and
the members of the Nebraska Con
gress delegation in Washington who
affiliate with the fusionists to use
their influence to have the silver bat
talion mustered out at once. In fact,
however, the War Department has
declared now that the Third Nebraska
wiJ be held until peace is formally
declared.
In the|mean time there have been
numerous charges by leading Demo
cratic and Populist managers in the
State that Col. Bryan is being delib
erately kept away from the State in
order to affect the result of the elec
tion. Col. Bryan refuses to intimate
such a thing, though he hag been
called upon to do so by the Nebraska
State officials. He replies that he
will have nothing to say until he
quits the service of the Government,
but intimates that he will then have
something to say about the treat
ment of the Third Nebraska.
THE NEW SMOKELESS POWDER.
The general public has learned in
a practical way during the war the
great superiority of smokeless pow
der over the now obsolete brown
powder. The interference of our
own smoke with our guns at San
Juan and Santiago, and the way in
which the Springfields, with which
the volunteers were armed, drew the
Spanish fire, were object lessons
easily understood and laid to heart
by a practical people.
The decision of both the Army
and Navy Departments to make the
Srfew powder the standard type in
3t>th branches of the service will be
received with unfeigned satisfaction,
as will the announcement that large
orders are being placed for its manu
facture. One of the chief causes of
our backwardness in this matter has
been the fact that, for lack of en
couragement, manufacturers have
hesitated to enter extensively into
the manufacture and do the neces
sary but costly experimental work.
Now, however, they do not only
start with large orders for an excel
lent powder, but the experience they
will gain must necessarily result in a
steady improvement in the art as
carried out in this country.
THE TAX LAWS.
The tax laws need a radical revis
ion to bring about true returns of
taxable property. This is a matter
of such vital importance that it can
not be further ignored, and our law
tnakers will have to inaugurate meas
ures to lift the burden from those
who honestly return their property
at its true value. If all property
was equally assessed, then taxation
could be reduced. The adjustment
of values will bring a new era of
prosperity to Georgia and an influx
of capital and investments which is
now kept out by high taxes. People
with money to invest always inquire
as to the tax rate. It is high enough
in Georgia now, and must not be
raised another mill.—Marietta Jour
nal.
STICK TO THE HOME FOLKS.
The home merchant is the man
who gives you credit when you have
no cash to buy the necessaries of
life. The home merchant is the man
w’ho helps you to pay the taxes that
run your schools and pave your
streets. The home merchant is the
man to whom you appeal in limes of
distress for favors. Then why should
you ignore him when you desire to
make a purchase ? He sells as good
goods at as low figures as the man
who does business in the big city.
The hills look green far away.
WILL SOON BE HOME.
An order was issued Monday
morning mustering out the First and
Second Georgia regiments.
This settles the question finally as
to which regiments from Georgia are
to be kept in. The regiments will
go home as soon as transportation
can be arranged for and other details
attended to.
The Third Georgia regiment will
go to Jacksonville.
The Gainesville boys are in the
Second regiment, and may be ex
pected home in a few days.
THE ANARCHIST’S DAGGER.
The Empress Elizabeth of Austria
was murdered by an anarchist last
Saturday at Geneva, Switzerland.
She was in the act of boarding a
vessel, when the anarchist stabbed
her in the back, the stiletto passing
through her heart. The murderer is
an Italian named Luccheni. He
made no effort to escape.
Late dispatches from Geneva say
that Luccheni, the assassin, did not
attack her Majesty from in front,
but approached her from behind and
stabbed her in the back. The wound
he inflicted was only only one-six
teenth of an inch wide. This accounts
for her walking, with the assistance
of one of her ladies-in-waiting, to the
private steamer that was waiting for
her at the pier to take her back to
Montreaux. She thought that only an
attempt had been made to steal her
watch.
Countess Sztaray asked the Em
press as she entered the boat if she
was suffering any pain. Her Majes
ty answered “No.” The truth was
not suspected until a drop of blood
was seen issuing from a small wound
when her corset was unlaced after
she became unconscious, her attend
ants at first thinking she had merely
fainted. The last sign of life she
showed was a sigh when Dr. Golay,
who was summoned to attend her,
cut her bodice. The hemorrhage
was entirely internal.
Countess Sztaray says that she
did not see Luccheni touch her Maj
esty. As the Empress fell she caught
her in her arms and asked her if she
felt any pain. The Empress replied:
“I do not know ; I think I feel a
pin sticking in my chest. I must be
frightened.”
The Countess then asked the Em
press to take her arm, but her Maj
esty straightened up and said : “No,
thank you.” She then walked firmly
to the boat, upon reaching which she
asked if she was pale. The Countess
told her that she was. Then the
Empress sat down and fainted. The
Countess opened her bodice, but saw
no blood. A little later the Empress
recovered consciousness and rose to
her feet, saying in a clear voice : •
“Tell me what has happened.”
These were her last words. Count
ess Sztaray says she is positive that
the Empress did not know that she
had received her death wound.
Empress Elizabeth was 51 years
old and was one of the most beauti
ful women of Europe. She was
almost idolized by her subjects be
cause of her many kindly and noble
traits of character.
Wholesale arrests of anarchists
have been decided upon in France,
Switzerland and Italy.
BRYANISM’S BLACK EYES.
Bryamsm two set-backs
during .tbe/ftast ten days. The New
Hampshire Democratic State Con
vention administered the first set
back by overwhelmingly voting down
resolutions endorsing the Chicago
platform. This turning down of the
Bryan wing was, however, not unex
pected. But right upon the heels of
the New Hampshire convention, the
Democratic Wisconsin State Con
vention came together. It was firmly
believed that the convention would
vote to fuse with those Populists of
Wisconsin who are silver men, first,
last and all the time. But the Demo
cratic politicians, counting up the
chances of victory, deemed they
would gain more votes by making
a platform upon which gold Demo
crats could stand than they would
lose by refusing to fuse with the
Populists. So after a bitter fight
the convention decided to cater to
the gold Democrats, not the Popu
lists.
The Democratic State Convention
of Delaware was held Tuesday, and
it studiously and effectively ignored
the Bryanic heresy of free silver or
bust.
A QUESTION ASKED AND ANSWERED.
The New York Tribune, which
has never been accused of any special
partiality for the South, prints the
following in its editorial columns :
“The question is asked whether
ex-Confederate organizations shall be
asked to parade in a peace demon
stration of national veterans. ‘Ex-
Confederates ?’ That means fellows
who used to ride behind ‘Joe’ Wheel
er doesn’t it? Well, then, the ques
tion answers itself. Room for the
‘Johnny Rebs !’ No place where the
flag flies is too good for Joe Wheeler,
and where he goes his old comrades
must likewise go.”
SENATOR GRAY.
Justice D. E. White declined to
serve on the Paris Peace Commis
sion, and the President appointed in
his stead Senator George Gray of
Delaware.
Senator Gray is a Democrat. He
is highly equipped for the exacting
duties of the place.
The commission will leave for Paris
Saturday.
The Spanish Cortes, by a good
majority, ratified the protocol this
week.
On last Monday the commission
held an important conference with
President McKinley, for the purpose
of receiving final instructions io ref
erence to the duties of the commis
sion. It is stated that the commis
sion will be allowed considerable lat
itude in dealing with the Philippine
question, in order that it may act as
circumstances may dictate during
the sessions.
GIVE IT TO THE FARMERS.
The surplus arising from the fees
for the inspection of fertilizers
amounts to approximately 112,000 to
sl4 000 per annum. This money is
now turned io to the school fund,
where it is practically “only a drop
in the bucket.” Hon. O. B. Stevens,
who is to be the next state commis
sioner of agriculture, thinks this fund
should be expended for the extension
and expansion of the work of the
agricultural department. He thinks
the farmers should have whatever
benefits accrue from the department,
and it is his idea that all of the bul
letins aud other publications of the
department should be given full and
free distribution among the farmers.
Not one in fifty of them now receives
the department’s publications, he
says. His suggestion is certainly
worth the careful consideration of
the legislature.
DEWEY WILL HAVE THE OREGON.
The navy department has definitely
determined to send the battleships
lowa and Oregon into the Pacific
and station them in Hawaiian waters.
With these vessels at Honolulu they
will be in excellent position to respond
to a call from Manilla if matters there
assume a critical condition through
European interference. The ships
cannot get away before October Ist,
but they will make a quick trip
around South America. They will
be accompanied by four fast colliers.
WELL SAID.
From the New York Press, Rep:
If there are any politicians in this
country, high or low, north or south,
republican or democratic, who are
trying to head off military celebrities
on their road to the highest of politi
cal distinctions they should keep
their eyes on General Joe Wheeler.
It is rarely that such a really charm
ing character is introduced, or rather
is emphasized—for the General was
long ago introduced—on the stage of
public affairs. The south prizes him,
and the north must envy the south in
the opportunity to prize him. The
man has a perfect simplicity of char
acter associated, so far as military
matters are concerned, with a pene
trative shrewdness as well as a high
and intellectual order of courage. He
is saturated with good humor, having
an approving word for everybodv
whose achievements he is asked to
estimate. Yet every certificate of
character he gives is of value to every
one who receives it, from his com
mander in-chief down through the
list of dashing young colonels in his
division to the much berated native
auxiliaries. Everybody thinks better
of General Shafter, Colonel Roose
velt and . Garcia’s* ragged

OUR OWN BILL.
Col. W. F. Findley of Gainesville,
gave Dawsonville a call on profes
sional business last Tuesday. He
has many friends here who are ever
ready to give him a hearty handshake.
Bill would not be a back number
with his many friends in this section
for congressional honors in the
future. He is well known through
out the district and has many ad

THE SINGING.
Editor Eagle :
Here I come again, but with very
few words, as my Brother Clemons is
so inconsistent in his letter and asked
Brother Scoggins and myself not to
be personal in our remarks, and turns
right around and tries to pick the
last feather off us, and speaks in an
unknown tongue, and then positively
disputes what the Word of God
plainly says in regard to song singing.
I declare to you I don’t know how
to reply to such a letter. I can
speak for myself, and I venture to
say that Brother S. don’t know but
that vox et pro?terea nihil Helioga
balus is General Rules of Religion of
the Mancanchee Indian. I am so
glad that the Bible is not written for
ripe scholars alone, while I can find
the word song and sing from back to
back. While my brother cannot
read it thus, he can write in an un
known tongue. He says my letter
was wide of the mark. I think his
missed the mark altogether. He
asked me time and again if I was
satisfied. I am satisfied of the fact
that as long as the church of God
lives singing will also live. When
singing stops the church will die.
»I stand on th© same platform I
started out on. lam far from toler
ating anything that would be hurtful
to the church.
Now, brother, let me ask you this
question : Which is the most damag
ing to the church, singings or bar
rooms ? Please answer this, and
write in a tongue that me and my
Brother Scoggins can understand.
You need not put yourself to the
trouble of loading a cannon to shoot
at gnats. So no more.

MORE ABOUT SINGING.
Editor of the Eagle :
I see in the last issue of the Eagle
a very lengthy article from Brother
Clemons. First he asked the editor
to tell his correspondents not to be
so personal. I am not 'surprised at
that. Second, he wants some proof
from the Scripture in regard to
singing: Exodus 15:1—“Then sang
and the children of Israel this
song;” 2—“ The Lord is my strength
and song.” Num. 21:17—“Then Is
rael sang this song.” Deut. 31:32
“Moses therefore wrote this song
and taught it to the children of
Israel.” 1 Kings 4:32—“And his
songs were a thousand and five.”
1 Chron. 6:31,32 —“The service of
song,” etc. 2 Chron. 39:27—“And
when the burnt offering began the
song of the Lord began.” Neh.
12:46—“Songs of praise and thanks
giving.” Isa. 38:20—(How is this,
Brother C.?) “The Lord was ready
to save me, therefore we will sing
my songs to the stringed instruments
all the days of our life in the house
of the Lord.” Eph. s:l9—“Hymns
and spiritual songs,” etc, Col. 3:15;
Rev. s:9—“And they sung a new
song.”
The Psalms are full of songs of
praise. The book of Acts does not
say there was no song sung when all
of those people were converted.
Brother C. says there was not. As
my brother quotes Ralston and Clark
for his authority, I will take some of
our best musical men of the South,
and some I am personally acquainted
with ; read their hyms, and then see
if you think they are proud and
self-willed. First, Prof. E. T. Pound,
one of the revisers of the old Sacred
Harp, the book where we get a num
ber of the standard hymns we use
to-day. He attends these all-day
singings, and is a good, true Metho
dist, as far from breaking the Sab
bath as Brother C. Second, J. L.
Moore, a good writer, and author of
several good song books. He is a
good old-fashion Methodist, and goes
to these all-day singings. Ido not
believe be is a Sabbath-breaker.
Third, John B. Vaughn, the sweet
singer of the South, who composes
some of the sweetest songs that ever
were sung. He attends all-day sing
ings.
Brother C. asked, could any one
tell him what hymns are proper for
all-day singing occasions. I will say
sacred or revival songs, such as
“Praise ye the Lord, Oh, praise Him
every nation;” “Grace is free, yes
grace is free;” “With thankful hearts,
O, Lord, we come, to praise thy
name in grateful song;” “Accept the
off’ring, Lord, we bring, and help us
loud thy praises sing.”
I will say all of the Methodist
preachers- opposed to all-day
.Singings ‘ oce > endurance «... «

Brother C. will have to come with
better proof to convince Hall county
that all who attend all-day singings
are Sabbath breakers.

road tickets will be sold at all coupon
offices in the State, for one fare.
The special train, for the accommo
dation of the party, will leave At
lanta at 8:50 p. m., the 27th inst.
Will you not do me the kindness
to extend, through your local papers,
a genera? invitation to the citizens of
your city and the people of your
county to join you in personally rep
resenting your section on this occa
sion. ?
I trust it will be your pleasure to
give this matter consideration.
Yours truly,
W. J. Northen,
Chairman State Commission.
In pursuance of the above request
from Ex-Governor W. J. Northen, I
give the above lettei to the public
and trust that as many of our citizens
as t can will attend the Omaha Exposi

Respectfully,
J. B. Gaston, Alayor.
The weekly papers all over Georgia
and Alabama are filled with com
plaints about the condition of the
cotton crop. 801 l worms are report
ed nearly everywhere, and imm mse
damage to the crop has alnaly been
done. The concensus of opinion is
that the crop prospects have fallen
off from twenty-five to fifty per cent,
in the last three or four weeks.
A TRIUMPHAL MARCH.
Col. Candler made a rousing speech
at Homer Monday. The people of
Banks, the “common people,” heard
him gladly, and will roll up a big
Democratic majority all along the
hne.
Your Uncle Allen is not driving
tacks in the populistic coffin, but big
20-penny nails, and lots of them at
that.
There is now nothing that holds
the populist party together but the
small and uncertain loaves and fishes
of a few county offices that they ex
pect to hold on to.
These they are gradually giving
up in the triumphant return of De
mocracy to claim its ancient heritage.
The Spanish - American commis
sion to arrange the evacuation of
Porto Rico have about reached an
understanding, and the Spanish
troops are expected to embark from
ihgt island in a few days.
The President has appointed Capt.
Evan Howell on the commission to
investigate the conduct of the war.
General Gordon received the appoint
ment, but declined.
The Cubans are disarming every
day and are being put to work on
the wharves and in warehouses in
Santiago. Its the first manual labor
many of them have done in three
years.
Populist Speaking.
lion. J. R. Hogan will address the peo
ple at the courthouse on Thursday, 22nd
instant. Al' the citizens of the town and
country are invited to be present and
hear the great reformer, who is battling
for the good of the common people.
Come and hear him, in order that you
may vote intelligently. Populism is
either right or it is wrong. Let’s inform
ourselves and get on the right side. If
we haven’t got truth and a good cause at
heart, we want to find it.

Suffered 20 Years.

a constant sufferer from nervcuis prostra

alarming; the least noise would startle and

the medicine seemed to have no effect, but
after taking a few bottles I began to notice

Shorty's Great Scheme.
One of the most novel methods of
hiding a dispatch from the enemy is
attributed to “Shorty ” Gonzales, an
American scout at Santiago. He
was entrusted with an important dis
patch, and being in danger of falling
into the hands of the Spaniards he
put it into a rubber tobacco pouch
he had in his pocket, and forced his
mule to swallow it. He was captured
but nothing being found upon him
he was allowed to go, and on his
arrival at his place of destination
the mule was cut up by a
veterinary surgeon. “Shorty ought
to be given a medal for his clever
ness.
We Raise the Spanish Flag.
Havana, Sept. 11. —To-day is the
eighteenth anniversary of the birth
of the Infanta Maria de las .Mercedes,
the eldest sister of King Alfonso,
who was Queen of Spain until the
birth of her brother.
Every ship in the harbor displayed
the Spanish flag in honor of the day,
including the Resolute, the vessel
which brought the American Military
Commission to this port. Special
services were held in all the churches.
Exactly at noon a salute of twenty
one guns was fired in honor of the
Infanta.
Thirteen carloads of watermelons
were given away in New York the
other day. The market was over
stocked, and they could not be sold
at any price.* It cost S2OO per car to
get the melons to market. They
were not Georgia melons, however.
They came from the West. The
Georgia product strikes the market
at the beginning of the season, and
usually by the time the market be
comes glutted and the people begin
to be surfeited with melons, the
Georgia crop is all sold.
