The Gainesville Eajle. Entered at the Gainesville Postoffice as Second-class mail matter. Ni. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, October 13, 1898. Democratic Ticket. For Congressman, F. C. Tate THINK OF THESE THINGS. Last Wednesday’s election in Hall county brings us to the considera tion of some things worthy of pro found thought. We see a recurrence of the necessity for an exclusive white Democratic primary, so as to exclude, the participation of un friendly elements whose only motive is to put weak candidates upon the party. The Eagle has for several years advocated this course, as its readers will bear testimony. It now renews its pleadings for this the only thing that can properly be called a Democratic primary. A primary participated in by conglomerate ele ments is a fraud and bumbug. It is a witches’ cauldron into which can be pitched dead toads as well as wholesome flesh. Os course we will keep our gates open for the returning prodigals, the Populists, but those we receive must be either by letter or profession, as our good Baptist brethren would say, and must be known to have hon esty of purpose. This thing of Tom, Dick, and Harry, hit or miss, will not do for Democracy. And there is another thing which we must take into serious considera tion, a question of most vital import to the Democratic party. We refer to the traitors in our own ranks, the knifers who stab the nominees in the dark. How to reach them we do not know. They are the deadly germs, the baccilli that are eating away the tissues of the party. With an open enemy, we have nothing to fear; but we may well tremble with alarm when we find that men who pretend to be fighting with us shoul der to shoulder carry good fellowship in one hand and a stiletto in the other. Far over and above the question of white Democratic primaries looms the momentous question of the in tegrity of our own voters. A num ber of hitherto Populists voted with us in the last primaries, and they stuck to us generally on election day. Look at the result two years ago : Robertson for tax receiver 548 ma jority, and Redwine for senate 130 majority—a difference of 518, and both of them nominees of the party. Look at the result last week : Charles for tax collector 907 majority, and Mundy for sheriff 544 majority, a difference of 363, and both nominees of the party, men whom the voters had pledged themselves to support. It will not do to say that Charles got more Populist votes than Mundy. The only solution is that Mundy was the victim of the traitorous knifers. Through it all we see the trail of the serpent. The situation is alarming. It has come to the pass with a vast number of Democrats, who are Dem ocrats only in name, that if a nom inee suits them they vote for him; if not, they give him the vest-pocket stiletto. We believe in absolute honesty in politics, as in business matters be tween man and man. Eyery one who knows us knows that we claim to be a Democrat, and if we should ever so far lose our sense of honor as to vote a ticket with as much as a fly-speck on it we hope to be from that time forever dis franchised. We do not say it is as honest to steal a peck of potatoes as to steal a name off a ticket that you have given your pledge to support, but we had just lief do it. We may be extreme, but that is our preference, and no one else is responsible for it. Let us, then, again lift our eyes and our understanding to the urgent necessity of a straight white Demo cratic primary. And, above all, let us look to the cleansing and dis infection of our own ranks, where treason, with dissembling fingers, is working the sure and deadly work of disintegration. JACKSON REDEEMED. The result of the election in the Populist-ridden county of Jackson is particularly gratifying. The Demo crats won by majorities ranging from 265 for Brock for tax receiver to 419 for Holder for legislature. The Democrats won by putting new men and good men on their ticket and then healing all differences among themselves and getting their voters to the polls. This is the whole story. Jackson is naturally a Democratic county. The Democrats of Jackson now know the road to success, and if on every election year they do as they have done this year they will suc ceed. If not, they may be handed over to the heathen for punishment. The Lord loved his people, Israel, but when they sinned, the Philistines were allowed to have it out with them. Keep your phylacteries rubbed up and your lights on the hilltops, brethren of Jackson, and it will be well with you henceforth as now. HALL COUNTY’S PUBLIC SERVANTS. Hall county has this year, as she has almost invariably done in the past, elected her best man to office. The majority of them have been elected to succed themselves, having been found true, loyal, and efficient public servants. The others are men whose competency and high integrity in other places is a guarantee that the people’s interests will be well served at their hands. OUR LEGISLATORS. A. R. Smith, our senior member of legislature, is a man handsomely equipped for the exacting duties of making and helping to make our country’s laws. His long career as Clerk of the Superior court has given him an intimate acquaintance with the laws, and having once been a farmer boy, he knows the needs of all classes from the laborer to the capitalist. We predict that he will take a leading part in legislative affairs. He is the very essence of courtesy, a good-fellow without a peer, and has as many personal friends as any man in the state. W. B. Sloan, our junior represen tative, is a popular and talented young lawyer, who has resided in Gainesville for the past five years. He, too, will take a leading part in legislative proceedings, for he is a ready debater, a clear and forceful reasoner, and has those fine qualities of suavity that draw men to him. He also came up from the plow handles and is in close touch with the aspirations of the common peo ple. They do say that he told it around during the canvass that he used to plow a bull when a boy. Whether this story is true or not, the people setm to have believed it. We can state it as a fact, however, that he kissed several hundred ba bies and was very popular with the ladies, which shows that he is quite “fly” as a politician. OUR COUNTY CLERK. Who is there in North Georgia— man, woman, or child—that doesn’t knows Tom Bell? He knows more about politics than the man that made them. He can beat the ex perts at kissing babies and “making up” to the ladies. But the secret of Tom’s popularity is his hair-trigger readiness to do a favor. In this he stands pre-eminent. Unselfishness is his strongest characteristic. We may safely say no one ever appealed to him in vain. This is the reason that he, a man with the highest order of business efficiency and for years enjoying a good salary, is still empty handed in this world’s goods. But he has that which is more precious tharf* gold—the affections of multi tudes of people. Tom will make a Clerk whose work can well afford to be weighed in the balance of the most scrutinizing criticism. Hall county can congratulate herself upon her Clerks. Alf Smith has made a record for accurate and conscientious work that is known throughout the entire state. OUR SHERIFF. Andy Mundy has been sheriff so long that the words “Mundy” and “Sheriff” have become synonymous terms. His splendid efficiency is the only explanation for his long term of office. A man must make a good officer in order to be elected as often as Mundy. He is thoroughly prac tical in the affairs of the Sheriff’s office—a quiet, unexcitable, pains taking official, and will probably occupy the office as long as he wants it. As illustrative of his thoroughly business-like turn of mind, it used to be told of Mundy that when he was first elected J. P. in Wilson’s district many years ago, a culprit was brought before him for trial. Justice Mundy heard the evidence through, which was very damaging, and then after methodically thumbing through his law books for an hour or so, he quietly sentenced the fellow to be hung. This may not be true, but it is true that Andy is the fellow who carried the election news to Uncle Aleck Stringer once upon a time. Uncle Aleck had been running for something or other, as was his habit in those days, and Andy had staid in town until the votes had been counted, and on his way home dropped in on Uncle Aleck to talk about the result. After the votes of the various aspirants had been told over, Uncle Aleck inquired, “Well, how many did I get?” Mundy replied, in an absent-minded way, and stammering a little, “I—l —never heardyour name mentioned.” TAY RECEIVER. W. Rufus Robertson has polled great majorities in the three races he has run, which eloquently attests his popularity among the people. He is amiable, accommodating, agreeable— the very soul of courtesy. He per forms his duties as becomes an honorable and efficient public servant, and enjoys the esteem of his fellow citizens. TAX COLLECTOR. Mel. Charles, though a bit lame, is a great hustler in a canvass, and gets there with the foremost. He is, first of all, a No. 1 tax collector. Next in order of importance, he is a No. 1 Democrat, and always gives strength to the ticket. He is a handy man with the pen, keeps nice books, and makes them balance to a penny. Besides, he rakes into the treasury all the money to be had. TREASURER. Joe Boone, “Old Honesty,” has been there a long time, and we can’t remember the election year when some one wasn’t going to beat him because he had “been there long enough.” This is the only kick. The fact is, this is a mighty important office, and it is something to the county to have a treasurer who is known as “Honest Joe.” Many counties have suffered from not hav ing an “Honest Joe” to fumble over its money. Some time ago, on a committee of the grand jury, we ex amined Joe Boone’s books, and we were almost amazed at their neat ness, and the care and system with which he did the business of his of fice. A few days before the election we met Brother Moon, who was go ing to beat Joe out of his socks. He had been among the’people and had talked to them all, and they wanted a change. We could easily see that this was Brother Moon’s first trip— that he was an amateur. We tried to caution him against that inscruta ble quantity, the election har. We to’d him to subtract twothirds for sure liars and then divide the remainder for probabilities. We reminded him that David had said, without much apparent provocation, that “all men are liars,” and we asked him what he reckoned David would have said af ter running for office in Hall county. We dare say Brother Moon is now a more discriminating politician than two weeks ago. SURVEYOR. Major Moreno is the very soul of mathematics, and it would be a won der if he should make an error with the compass. As becomes-a man for this office, he is cool-headed, careful, and invariably accurate. The Major is of Spanish descent, but delights most ardently in seeing the Spaniards licked. This shows he is a patriot as well as a mathematician. To illustrate his mathematical bent we will relate an incident. Some one told in the Major’s hearing the story of the colporteur who was traveling through Hancock county, Tenn., and upon retiring at night gave the good lady some store tea to prepare for his breakfast, and she boiled it with a chunk of bacon. After the crowd had finished laughing, the Ma jor, with perplexity on his eyebrows, asked, “What the dickens did she boil it for ?” CORONER. A. B. C. Dorsey is so popular that all parties vote for him. He knows everybody in the county, and their ages, and everybody knows him. Although one of the kindliest of men, and the soul of honesty, no one will trade with him unless they are obliged to, and he is the last man on earth that you would like to see com ing to your house on business. But he enjoys life, and even smiles some times. CANDLER’S GREAT VICTORY. The result of last Wednesday’s election shows that the Populist party has been practically annihi lated in Georgia. The result is par ticularly satisfactory to the Demo crats of this State. Notwithstanding the lack of any interest for county offices in many of the counties in the State and the acknowledged fact that the Populist State'ticket stood no chance of even approaching the elec tion of a single nominee, the people of this State have given a majority of over seventy thousand to Col. A. I). Candler. It is perhaps the most complimentary vote that has ever been cast for a gubernatorial candi date in Georgia, and in Governor Candler’s popularity and acknowl edged superiority the rest of the State ticket has shared. It has been a magnificent showing for the State and is a severe rebuke to the fusion ists who have been touring the south ern part of the State for the last few weeks in an effort to enter a wedge into Georgia that would open a yawning abyss like to that which is pictured in North Carolina. It is evident that instead of secur ing the support of the Populists of this Stale, the fusionists and Repub licans have driven them back into the Democratic ranks and if they had been possessed of half the sense of donkeys they would have known that this would be the result. De mocracy is bound to be triumphant in this State and in this country. It is the party of the people and repre sents all that is purest and best for which men live. On its principles the country was founded and under its principles honest men prefer to live. In 1896 Wright carried 31 coun ties, namely: Baldwin, Cherokee, Coffee, Columbia, Floyd, Forsyth, Franklin, Glascock, Gordon, Greene, Haralson, Hart, Jackson, Jefferson, Johnson, Laurens, Liberty, Lincoln, Lumpkin, Marion, McDuffie, Oconee, Polk, Quitman, Screven, Taliaferro, Taylor, Warren, Wayne, White, and Worth, with an aggregate majority of 6,499. Last week Hogan carried 13 coun ties, namely : Appling, Coffee, Co lumbia, Forsyth, Franklin, Glascock, Jefferson, Johnson, Lincoln, McDuf fie, Oconee, Taylor, and Warren, with an aggregate majority of 1,586. The only Democratic losses were in Banks and Liberty. In Banks Can dler lost 62 votes from Atkinson’s majority of 1896. In Liberty the Populists increased their majority from 478 to 508. In the next legislature the Demo crats will have 210 votes on joint ballot, the Populists 7, and the Re publicans 3, with 1 other who is classed as a reformer. In the senate there is not a single member who was not elected on the straight Dem ocratic ticket, and the result practi cally makes the legislature unani mous. In Coffee county the court house was burned the night of the election and the returns were destroyed. The Populists had carried the county, but one precinct, on account of irreg ularities in making the returns, bad been thrown out, giving the county to the Democrats. The idea is of course prevalent that the burning was Os Populist origin. There was a wonderful revulsion in some of the counties, some giving great Democratic majorities that gave large Populist majorities in 1896. Hogan only got 5 votes in Chatham to over 2,000 for Candler ; 3 in Dougherty against 226; sin Lee against 158 ; 5 in Putnam against 260. Two years ago Atkinson car ried Lumpkin by 2. Candler carries it by 521. Fulton gave Candler his largest majority—3,7Bß. Next is Irwin— -2,560. Candler’s smallest majority was in Haralson—lo. Hogan’s largest majority was in Lincoln—soß. His smallest in Jef ferson—2o. Candler’s majority, according to the latest corrected returns, is 70,415. Last issue the Eagle predicted “not less than 70,000.” Our table on Ist page, which was taken from the Con stitution, had Floyd county left out. That county gave Candler 1,272 majority, which must be added to the 67,923 majority. Later returns give Candler larger majorities in Madison and Towns, and 42 more in White and 76 more in Union. Twiggs gave Candler 1,707 ma jority, instead of 588 as indicated in the table. All these errors are due to our putting confidence in the Constitution, which is the pink of reliability. However, we didn’t lose our pants and hat, as the Texas man did who relied on that paper’s judgment and bet his clothes on Bryan’s election. Candler’s majority will be abdTut 71,000. It will be the largest ma jority ever given a governor of Georgia, the Constitution says*. It may be so. JARRETT. Our county commissioners, with their usual foresight for the convenience of the traveling public, have had some big rocks taken out of the road at the Davis hill. These have been formidable im pediments for some time and we ap preciate their removal. Miss “Tiny” Poole has been critically ill for some time, and likewise Mrs. L. M. Wills. Mr. Wm. E. Deason will move to Piedmont, S. C., at an eaily date, per-1 haps in next month. He will be ac companied by his family and they will work in the big cotton mills at that place. Past Hall county Grand juries have recommended the construction of court houses at the precincts that were without them, and we hope ere long the proper authorities will give con tinued evidence of their progressive policy by building them. Our J. P’s. and N. P’s. will unite with us in certifying their need. Gentlemen, we hold court in open air, and have it to do. Ben Hatfield and wife visited relatives in Banks county last Saturday and Sun day. Rube Whaley has had sixty dollars worth of lightning rods strung out over his house. Mr. Tom Cato has likewise ornamented his home with rods. We met Col. Candler in Gainesville last Saturday and their perched quite a sunny smile on his honest face. Mr. W. R. Sweatman, a contractor from Gainesville, has been employed to build the new Odd Fellows hall at Oak Grove. Mr. J. R.

The thief found Mrs. Candler’s purse in her trunk and carried it off, but fortunately there was only a few dollars in it. An Even 150.

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 entirely 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. Send for circulars, free. F. J.

The number of horse-swappers from a distance is estimated at 2,000 people. A cleverer class of men would indeed bo hard to find. The large attendance, and the succes of the occasion generally, is due largely to the splendid efforts put forth by Mayor Gaston, who spared no pains to properly advertise the date of the meeting of the Association, the incucemeuts Gainesville offered, and some of the attractions, such as racing on one of the best tracks in the state, which would make this one of the most interesting meetings yet held by the Association. To reach this end Mayor Gaston opened his purse and counted not the cost, which has been considerable. President Geo. T. Arnold of Winder has done all in his power to make this a meeting which will forever live in the memory of the horse-swappers present. There were at least 1,500 people from the different States assembled at the race track Tuesday afternoon to witness the races. Most of them were run by typical trading stock, a description of which can not be portrayed. They were great and were hugely enjoyed by all classes of people. There were, however, some good horses entered. The “Derby” was won by Mayor Gaston‘s racer, “Prince.” Prince is of the Kimble Jack son family and is an excellent horse. He came under the wire several lengths ahead of the others. A still larger crowd attended the races yesterday, and at times the on-lookers went wild with excitement. There were several races between the various shades of horses entered. The slow races will come off this after noon, with every fellow riding the other fellow’s horse,or mule. That it will be funny beyond all expectations there is but little doubt. There will also be some racing between blooded stock. This will be exciting. A very large at tendance is expected. The fun begins at 4 o’clock p. m. Capt. Moss Dead. Capt. C. F. Moss died to-day at 12.10 at his residence on W. Spring street. He had been ill from fever for about a month.

Last week’s freshet is regarded as the worst on record, both as regards the height of the water and the extent of damage done. The Chattahoochee river was several feet higher than it has ever been known to be, and the same is true as to the streams entering it above Na coochee Valley. Immense damage has been done to the corn crop, and the land all along the water courses is also seri ously injured. The Nicholls bridge, sit uated at the head of the Valley,was com pletely demolished, as was the Asbestos Co's bridge further down. Besides the total loss of these bridges crossing the Chattahoochee, others were seriously in jured, and the public roads rendered im passable in many places. It will take some time to get these latter in anything like shape. The damage done to farms amounts to thousands of dollars. Indeed every farm on the streams in the upper part if the county is more or less damaged, some very badly. The fodder crop had been almost entirely lost through the long continued rains and previous freshet, and the added misfortune of this latter loss, will fall heavily on a great many. Spoiled Cane Creek, on the headwaters of the Chattahoochee, played terrible havoc with crops and land along its banks, in places carrying away the soil down to rock or gravel. Not one of the farms on this stream escaped serious damage. The same is true of *be farms on the river below the mouth of Spoiled Cane as far down as the Hunnicutt farm. Be low this point the damage is not so ap parent. In fences alone the loss is large. A number of narrow escapes from drowning have been reported. In some instances the waters had undermined houses before the inmates were aware of their danger. About midnight Monday the waters weie at their highest, and the sudden rise in the volume of the flood after night set in added to the troubles of those who were unfortunate enough to live near the bank of a stream.
