A GREAT VICTORY.
Candler won a great victory
yesterday. About two-thirds of the
counties that went Populist two
years ago have been redeemed.
Candler’s majority will not be less
than 70,000. Last year Atkinson’s
majority was 34,000.
A light vote was polled yesterday.
TAX DODGING IN GEORGIA.
The annual report of Comptroller-
General Wright renews the discus
sion over the taxation of invisible
property. It is a subject that Mr.
Wright has discussed many times in
his annual reports. He estimates
that $300,000,000 of intangible prop
erty escapes taxation each year in
this state. The value of stocks and
bonds returned in the state is ridicu
lously inadequate, scarcely exceeding
four millions. About thirty millions
of money, notes and accounts are
returned, although the bank deposits
of the state exceed that sum. Fer
tlizer notes are known to aggregate
eight millions, and crop liens fully
thirty millions, and accounts due
merchants are probably as much
more. Taking the item as a whole,
it should be one hundred millions
instead of thirty millions.
He asks the holders of tangible
and visible property—the real estate
owners, in a word—to aid him in
securing honest ond full returns. He
mentions the back-tax law of this
state, but he favors the enactment of
a law that would make notes, judg
ments and mortgages invalid unless
returned for taxation. The com
bined holders of intangible property
beat the bill last year, but he hopes
to secure the passage of such a bill
in the coming legislature. Mr. Wright
is confident that if such a bill were
placed on the statute books, holders
of intangible property would fall
over each other in their haste to see
the tax receiver for the purpose of
getting such property listed.
A MILLION PENSIONERS.
The annual report of the commis
sioner of pensions, which is soon to
appear, will show a roll of 1,040,356
pensioners, practically all of them
having been granted claims on ac
count of the civil war, which ended
thirty-three years ago. Os these
63,648 were added to the roll during
the year ending June 30, 1898. A
good many pensions lapsed because
of the death of the beneficiaries, but
the net increase on the list is nearly
18,000. This is a big roll, and it
certainly would cause General Grant
and President Garfield to stare with
astonishment were they aliye to-day.
Twenty years ago they predicted
that from that date there would be a
rapid decrease of the pension list,
but it is evident now that they were
mistaken. Instead of decreasing,the
growth of the list has been steady
and the payments of it exhausts
more than one-third of the entire
revenue of the government on a
peace basis. The war with Spain,
which so far has cost less than one
year’s payment of the pension roll,
will produce another large crop of
pensioners and more money will have
to come out of the pockets of the
people.
Claims for pensions growing out
of the Spanish war are now begin
ning to find their way into the pen
sion bureau. Up to the middle of
last week the number of claims filed
on that account amounted to 525,
and they are being received every
day. The pension payments next
year will hardly be less than $200,-
000,000. For the last fiscal year
they were about $150,000,000.
There are ten pensions still be
ing paid on account of the Revolu
tionary war—three to widows and
seven to daughters. There are three
soldiers of the war of 1812 still liv
ing and drawing pensions, besides a
large number of widows.
DEVELOPING PORTO RICO.
The American Indies companies is
the name of a new association that
has filed articles of incorporation
under the laws of New Jersey. It is
capitalized at $18,000,000 and organ
ized for the purpose of promoting
electrical transportation, mining, and
other industries in Cuba and Porto
Rico. The company is composed
of Philadelphia and New York
capitalists who will take ad
vantage of the extraordinary
economic transformation now at
■’jffork in our new possessions. Its
e are to renovate old enter
prises and create new ones in those
prodigiously rich islands. The in
corporators of the company are
wealthy and progressive men, who
represent the commercial aspirations
of Philadelphia and New York.
A TERRIBLE STORM.
A terrible storm of rain and wind
swept over South Georgia Sunday
and Sunday night. Great damage
was done at Brunswick by the rising
tide, and several lives are reported
lost.
The rice crop in the Savannah
river valley is said to be a total loss.
Cotton has sustained great damage
throughout Georgia and surrounding
states.
DAUGHTER OF THE CONFEDERACY.
There appears to be danger of an
unseemly squabble for the now ex
tinct title of Daughter of the Con
federacy. Many worthy and estima
ble young persons, daughters of
prominent Confederate commanders,
are being “mentioned” in connection
with the honor. Meantime, it may
be stated plainly that unless some
one of them can arrange to succeed
to the personality and parentage of
Winnie Davis, she will not be ac
cepted by the old Confederates. No
“new” Daughter of the Confederacy
is needed ; none is wanted. Posterity
will know that “Daughter of the
Confederacy” means Winnie Davis.
The gold output of the Cripple
Creek district for Septen her is said
to have been the largest on record,
being nearly $1,500,000 for the thirty
days. As a gold producer, Cripple
Creek appears to be more of a suc
cess than the Klondike.
Miss Wilkins’ New Serial is Humor
ous.
Miss Mary E. Wilkins’ new serial
is the humorous story of an up-to
date city woman who attempts to re
form a quiet village and educate the
people up to the latest fads of the
town. It is called “The Jamesons
in the Country,” and its serial publi
cation will be commenced in the
next issue of The Ladies’ Home
Journal. It will have Mrs. Alice
Barber Stephens as its illustrator.
Against a Problem.
The city council has given considerable
attention to the sewerage question for
several weeks past. Experts say that it
will cost SSOO to survey the town, make
maps, charts, etc. They estimate that a
complete sewerage system will cost $30,-
000. This makes the sewerage question
a problem to be solved in the future.
There is no hope of raising $30,000 at
present.
The Little Property.
The property on Green street belonging
to the estate of Mary A. Little, deceased,
was sold at executor’s sale Tuesday. It
consisted of a lot 150 by 200, a splendid
2-story residence, and a small one-story
brick dwelling. It was bought by \V. J.
and E. C. Palmour for $3,000. JP
October Ladies’ Home Journal.
For the first time, in print, General A.
W. Greely tells,in the October Ladies’
Home Journal, the fearful experiences of
himself and his ice-imprisoned band of
explorers as they faced death for two
hundred and sixty-four sunless days at
the North Pole. Man after man dropped
dead at the side of this commander, and
the rest simply waited for their turn.
It is a wonderful story. Bright in con
trast is “The Anecdotal Side of Mark
Twain,” in the same magazine, in which
the humorist’s closet friends tell twenty
funny new stories of him. Mr. S. T.
Rorer prescribes “The Right Food for
'Different Men,” and gives receipts for
‘f Twenty-five Desserts for Every
Stomach.” Four illustrated pages on
scenes in dining rooms, girls’ rooms, etc.,
are also given. It is, on the whole a
capital number of this magazine; the
best, perhaps, it has ever issued. By

To Build a Court House.
Union county is to have a new court
house and has hit upon a novel way of
adding to the funds for that purpose.
The fall sesion of Superior court, which
was appointed for this week, was aban
doned so that the court expenses could
be turned toward the erection of the new
court house.
A great idea.
May Do Some Good.
It is probably a fortununate thing,
from the health point of view, that
Monday’s storm came along just when it
did. Drains and low lands have now
been freshly flushed, and the stagnating
water from the September rains has been
swept out. The season is now so well
advanced that before the ponds and low
places become stagnant again, cold
weather will be upon us and cut off the
danger of resulting sickness.
THE GLADES.
The heavy rain has done a great deal
of damage in this part to crops and
bridges.
The Bellton bridge was swept away
and lodged about half a mile below, on
the north side of the river in Dank
Carters bottom.
The Lula bridge is still standing.
Quite a number were at the Lula bridge
Tuesday morning who expected the
bridge to move off at any time, though it
still stands unharmed, as far as can be
seen at this writing.
Quite a number of people were on
either side of the river anxious to cross,
among whom was Joe Gunnels, the Pop.
candidate for Senate. Joe looked very
gloomy; he was between two straits —the
river and home—and the Hon. Polk
Thompson was awfully in bis way. Joe
was bound to stay till Wednesday morn
ing before he could cross.

Democrats Get Everything.
There was a first-rate turnout of voters
in Hall yesterday all over the county.
The vote at Gainesville was 1,015, and
owing to the length of the ticket the
count had not been completed when we
went to press. The Democratic majority
is a good one, as usual.
The following precincts have been
heard from:
Wilson’s Flowery Branch, Roberts,
Friendship, Clinchem, Morgan’s, Candler,
Tadmore, Glade, Quillian’s, Big Hickory,
Bark Camp.
In these the majorities are as follows:
Mundy 91, Sloan 347, Smith 195,
Robertson 230, Charles 347, Bell 225,
Boone 256.
The Democratic majorities will run
from 350 up to 600.
Old Jackson Redeemed.
The very gratifying news comes this
morning that the entire Democratic ticket
has been elected in Jackson county by
majorities ranging from 200 to 500.
And Forsyth Goes Too.
The Democrats got everything in For
syth county yesterday except Clerk and
Tax Collector. Col. Bell goes to the
legislature. Democratic majorities small
but comfortable.
Tragedies in Jackson.
News comes that two negroes were
killed and a third fatally wounded at
Miller’s court ground on night before
election.
The negroes were holding a political
meeting. Speeches were made and the
debate finally degenerated into a free
fight. Knives and pistols were used with
the result told above.
The negroes charged with the murder
have been arrested and are now in jail at
Jefferson.
We also learn that a man named
Barnett, living some two miles from
Jefferson, threw an ax at his son which
struck him on the face and arm, cutting
a great gash in his face and nearly
severing his arm.
The young man was taken to Jefferson
and his wounds dressed. He is not ex
pected to live.
JARRETT.
Henry Lancaster wended his way to
Gainesville last Saturday with an ap
parently healthy specimen of the South’s
staple, but much to his surprise he found
that his bale had a high fever. Dr. K.
A. Smith was called and after feeling its
pulse pronounced it a “burning” fever.
Dr. Smith at once gave the bale a big
dose of cold water from a hydrant hard
by, which allayed the fever. Mr. Lan
caster then carried his soggy cotton back
to the gin where it had its clothes loosed
for an airing. It caught fire while in the
press.
On Wednesday of last week, Mr.
Leonard Fuller fell from a wagon and
broke his right arm. Dr. Tom Hawkins
was called in and treated the limb, and
Mr. Fuller is now doing well could be
expected.
Miss Anna Lee Brogdon suitably and
sumptuously celebrated her “sweet six
teenth” birthday last Saturday night by
giving a pound supper. This vicinity is
possessed of the belief that Rube Whaley
is a great eater, and his demeanor during
the occasion in question, adequately sub
stantiated this belief.
John Usher has another pretty little
girl at his house. She arrived last
Thursday and will perhaps encourage
some of the many bouncing boys here
about to be her spouse at some distant
day.
Wm. E. Deason and W. O. Wilson re
turned from South Carolina last Friday.
Miss Jessie Brown of Atlanta, who
has speflt the past two months with her
grand-parents, Mr. and Mrs. L. Fuller,
returned to the Gate City last Saturday.
Miss Zepha Morgan, a pretty little girl
from Flowery Branch, visited Miss Liz
zie Lott last Saturday and Sunday. Wil
lie Fuller monopolized her society while
here. She will perhaps not come any
more.
Floyd Bainwell, who resided with his
father near Tadmore, died last Sunday
afternoon. Hit remains were interred
at Harmony churchyard on Monday after
noon. Floyd was a youug man—about
twenty years of age—and gentlemanly
in appearance and of a friendly disposi
tion. Our people are much in sympathy
with the bereaved family.
Will Build two Houses.
Dr. M. P. Watkins, who bought two of

Three Doctors in Consultation.
(From Benjamin Franklin.)
“When you are sick, what you like best
is to be chosen for a medicine in the first
place; what experience tells you is best,
to be chosen in the second place; what
reason (i. e., Theory) says is best is to be
chosen in the last place. But if you can
get Dr. Inclination, Dr. Experience and
Dr. Reason to hold a consultation to
gether, they will give you the best ad
vice that can be taken.”
When you have a bad cold Dr. Inclina
tion would recommend Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy because it is pleasant and
safe to take. Dr. Experience would
recommend it because it never fails to
effect a speedy and permanent cure.
Dr. Reason would recommend it because
it is prepared on scientific principles,
and acts on nature’s plan in relieving the
lungs, opening the secretions and re
storing the system to a natural and
healthy condition. For sale by M. C.

Will Build a Fine Residence.
W. J. Palmour will in a short while
build a fine 7-room residence on the lot
on corner of Sycamore and Oak streets,
which he purchased Tuesday. This lot
is one of the handsomest and most
eligible residence lots in the city, being
located near in, with excellent natural
drainage, and graced with magnificent
oak trees.
Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness is caused by an in
flamed condition of the mucous lining: of the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hear
ing, and when it is entitely closed deafness is
the result, and unless the inflammation can be
taken out and this tube restored to its normal
condition, hearing will be destroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused oy catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure.

A RALLY IN THE WET.
But a Big Thing and a Success all
the Same.
■ 1
Tuesday was an exceedingly unpropi
tious day for a rally and barbecue, but
despite the frenzied efforts of Jupiter
Pluvius to strangle the whole thing, it
was a spendid success.
To be sure, there was not such a crowd
out as would have been had the day been
a fair one, still there was a large turnout
of people from all portions of the county,
so that the court house, at the hour for
speaking to begin, was packed and jam
med with people, a large number of
ladies being present inside the bar.
The excessive storms the day and
night before prevented Hon. A. S. Clay
and non. F. C. Tate from coming; but
Candler was the man the people came to
bear, and he was on hand and in excel
lent trim. Hon. W. D. Tutt of Elberton,
known as “Plain Bill Tutt,” was also
present. Both gentlemen made speeches
that edified and delighted the audience,
especially that of Col. Candler. Candler
talks good sense and a heap of it. He is
as logical, almost, as mathematics and
makes things as plain ai the nose on
your face.
Candler’s life-long friend, Judge Estes,
introduced him, while Snollygoster Ham
did the honors for “Plain Bill.”
The speeches were listened to with
marked attention and sometimes ap
plauded enthusiastically.
Then the dinner. The court house
halls were filled to overflowing with it.
Nearly 1,000 people, in columns of three
and four deep, faced the tables, and when
the command was given to charge the
enemy, it was delightful to see the boys
fire and fall back.
The day was in every possible respect
a great success, despite what looked like
insurmountable obstacles, and our new
county chairman Charley Webb, is to be
congratulated. To him belongs the credit
more than to any other. From the very
inception of the idea of holding a grand
rally and barbecue he has put his whole
soul and energy into it.
Every Democrat in the county should
give three cheers for Chairman Webb.

A Populist Candidate in Trouble.
W. E. Hill, Populist candidate for tax
collector of Jacksomoounty, was arrested
Monday by Deputy Marshal Landers
charged with running an illicit distillery
on his farm, two miles from Hoschton.
The facts seem to be that on the 26th
of last August, Deputy Collector War!
and Deputy Marshal Landers found i
still in running order near Hoschton.
Two negro men were at the distillery
and they fled to the house of Mr. Bill,
and were not captured. Upon investiga
tion it was discovered that the distillery
was on the land of W. E. Hill. After
ward a warrant was issued against Mr.
Hill, and on Monday of this week he
was arrested. He was brought to Gaines
ville, but Commissioner Gaston being
away, he was taken to Atlanta and given
an examination before a U. S. Commis
sioner there. He was placed under bond
to appear at a sitting of the U. S. court#
Several of Mr. Hill’s friends accompa
nied him, among them Mr. L. F. Sell and
Mr. T. T. Cooper. These latter gentle
men furnished bail.

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

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
