A CENTURY FOR SPAIN.
The experience that Spain is now
undergoing in being forced to give
up her possessions in the Antilles
and the Philippines is undoubtedly
hard, hut we may fairly point out
that at least it is not novel. The
loss of colonies and dependencies has
formed so great a part of her modern
history that what she now parts with
only continues what was already a
very long list.
We need not go back to the days
when she lost the Netherlands, Por
tugal, portions of France and Italy
and valuable islands in the East In
dies. Within the compass of a hun
dred years we shall find examples
enough of her steady diminution of
territory.
In the year 1800 she ceded to
France Louisiana, which she had ac
quired at the Peace of Paris in 1763.
The region so called comprised the
enormous area which Jefferson after
ward purchased from France, run
ning northward to Canada and west
ward to the Pacific. Two yea r s later
she lost the island of Trinidad, which
Columbus had discovered for her in
1498. The British had seized it in
1783, and their possession of it was
confirmed in 1802.
In 1819 she sold Florida to us, and
before that time she had become in
volved in revolts which sooner or
later stripped her of all her mainland
and some insular possessions in
North, Central and South America.
From about 1810 through many suc
cessive years these revolts went on,
and the result was the loss to Spain
of the great regions now constituting
the republics of Mexico, Guatemala,
Honduras, Salvador, Nicaragua, Cos
ta Rica, Colombia, Venezuela, Ecua
dor, Peru, Bolivia, Chili, Argentina,
Uruguay, Paraguay and San Do
mingo.
It is clear from such a list of coun
tries which have thrown off the
Spanish yoke within a hundred years
that the addition of a few more
islands in the Gulf of Mexico and the
Pacific will only serve to continue
Spanish experience along ite accus
tomed lines. The whole course of
recent history shows her inability to
hold distant colonies. One exception
has been suggested, that of the foot
hold she gained in Morocco in the
year 1860; but this deals with a small
region directly at her doors. Some
of her own people begin to see that
demoralization and disaster attend
her possessian of colonies across the
sea, and that even should we allow
her to hold the Philippines she would
have the prospect of long, costly and
devastating war there, only to end in
independence, as her wars in all her
American colonies have ended.
THE DECADENCE OF HONESTY.
The annual report of Comptroller
General Wright renews the discus
sion over taxation of property. It
is a subject that Mr. Wright has
discussed many times in his annual
reports. He estimates that $200,-
000,000 of property escapes taxation
each year in this state. The value of
stocks and bonds returned in the state
is ridiculously inadequate, scarcely
exceeding $4,000,000. About thirty
millions of money, notes and ac
counts are returned, although bank
deposits of the state exceed that sum.
Fertilizer notes are known to aggre
gate eight 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 visible and
tangible property —the real estate
owners, in a word—to aid him in
securing honest and 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 combined
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 was
placed on the statute books, holders
of intangible property would fall
over each other in their haste to see
the t-ax receiver for the purpose of
getting such property listed.
Mr. Wright thinks that with good
efficacious tax laws the state tax rate
could be cut in two in the middle.
COLONEL BERNER NOW.
A commission was issued last Sat
urday to Colonel Robert L. Berner
to succeed Colonel John S. Candler
in command of the Third Georgia
regiment. ,
Colonel Berner was appointed I
lieutenant colonel by Governor W. '
Y. Atkinson when the Third Georgia J
was being organized. He had (
previously been a member of the ;
local company at Forsyth. He is
, well known all over Georgia, having
been a member of the house for
several years, chairman of the Demo
cratic party, president of the last
: state senate and a candidate for the
Democratic nomination for governor
last spring. He is said to prefer
military life to political life and his
= friends state that he will remain in
the army for two years unless
mustered out earlier.
SOLONS ASSEMBLE.
. The legislature jnet yesterday and
organized. Hon. W. A. Dodson of
Sumter was elected president of the
Senate and John D. Little of Mus
cogee was elected speaker of the
House. Charles Northen elected sec
secretary of the Senate, and John T.
' Boiffeuillet clerk of the House.
( DECLINE OF POPULISM.
r The decline in Populism is shown
by the decrease in the number of
> candidates put in the field by that
I party in the present congressional
i contest. One thousand candidates
i in all are reported running for the
i 357 seats in the House of Represen-
tatives, and of these but 67 are classed
, as Populists. Two years ago there
were 126 avowed Populist candidates
, for seats in the Congress. The
. falling off is especially noticeable in
. the South, there being but 22 candi
j dates for Congress this fall, against
f 57 in 1896. The third party is but
a fragment of its former self. The
> best elements of it have been swal
. lowed up in the old parties, the De
. mocracy securing the larger part of
j those quitting its fold. Again has
. the fact been demonstrated that
. there is no room in this country for
. more than two great parties, and no
• national reforms desired whieh can
i not best be secured by working with
i in the party lines.
' GOVERNOR ALLEN D. CANDLER.
’ On next Saturday Allen D. Can-
I dler will be inaugurated Governor of
Georgia. This will be a proud day
for Georgia, and all Georgians should
I feel proud to have such a man as he
as chief executive of the State. He
1 is the man of the hour and in every
sense qualified to fill this responsible
position. He is plain, practical, sen
’ sible, and, like Thomas Jefferson, he
1 is pre-eminently a man of the com
-1 mon people; he knows their wants
' and needs and has the courage of his
convictions to carry out any propo
sition he believes to be right and in
' the interest of the people he repre
sents.
For the most part of his eventful
life he has lived in our midst, and
through all the vicissitudes and
changes of life he has stood like a
rock, immovable in the defense of the
laboring man, a shelter in the time of
storm, and he has never faltered when
called upon to perform a duty.
Strong of mind, sharp of tongue,
is Allen D. Candler, the central figure
in Georgia politics to day, and as
staunch a son as the South ever pro
duced. He is a Tartar in feature and
temper, but his ruggedness is that of
a perfectly honost and fearless man,
true to his people, true to himself,
and worth more than the gloss of a
thousand others. His election as
Governor will be good for the State,
good for the South and good for the
Democratic party.
Taos. M. Bell.
May Attach Gen. Lee to the Regular
Army.
Washington, Oct., 25.—1 f General
Fitzhugh Lee does not make the
senate, a thing he is not likely to do,
if the news from Virginia can be re
lied upon, he will in all probability
be given a permanent appointment
in the army. It is said here that he
has already been urged by the
president to accept a permanent
commission of major general. Gen
eral Lee would prefer to be in the
United States senate, but failing in
this his friends assert that he would
rather remain in the regular army
than retire to private life again.
Barn and Stables.
The Standard Oil Company has com
pleted a commodious barn and stables
on their property near the Southern
depot. The company has also purchased
a new trip wagon and a new team.
Faculty Concert.
The Faculty Concert which will be
given tomorrow night at the Auditorium
promises to be a rare treat. It is a well
known fact that the Faculty concerts of
the past have ever proved the most
enjoyable of the seasons.
At this one Mrs. Annie Sanford
Cochrane of Columbus, the new music
teacher, will be introduced to the
audience. Mrs. Cochrane was formerly
director of the department of music at
the Gordon Institute of Barnesville. She
is a musician of the highest order. She
was once a pupil of Prof. Wallace, with
whom she is now teaching.
A Big Land Deal.
One of the largest mining deals which
has been made this season was made bv
C. A. Dozier in the sale of the A. J.
Stowe gold mine, through A. W. Irvine,
who represents an Eastern syndicate.
This syndicate is thoroughly familiar
with the property it has purchased and
will put in improved machinery and be
gin operations at an early date.
The same syndicate came near buying
the property two years ago. It is
valuable and will most likely pay band
some dividends.’
Mrs. Mark Bell.
News has reached the city of the death
of Mrs. Mark Bell, which occurred at
her home in Cleveland Tuesday after
noon. Gus Bell, Mrs. W. A. Gilmer and
other relatives of this place attended the
funeral service, which took place yester
day. Mrs. Bell was a daughter of W. A.
Reaves.

Tried to Shuffle off.
Rev. Mr. Parks, pastor of the Baptist
Church at Dahlonega, spent Tuesday in
the city. He brought the first news of
the attempt made by a prisoner of the
name of Callaway to commit suicide.
Callaway is confined in the Dahlonega
jail and is wanted in North Carolina.
Seeing no way to escape, he made a des
perate effort to commit suicide by break
ing a lamp chimney, powdering a part of
it, and swallowing the fine particles,
believing that this act would produce
death. Not caring for the torture of a
slow death, such as powdered glass taken
inwardly would produce, if fatal, he took
a larger piece and cut a terrible gashjn
his throat and attempted to draw his
wind pipe out with one hand and sever
it with the glass in the other. Such a
terrible and desperate effort would be
pronounced an act of an insane man, but
it is said that Callaway shows no other
signs of insanity and talks in a rational
manner.
Settling With the City.
Sam Jennings, colored, was fined $5
yesterday morning, by Mayor pro tern
Blats, for fighting.
J. E. Harmon and Charlie Bray, two
white boys, were fined $9.50 for acting
disorderly last Saturday night. They
had appeared before the Mayor before on
a similar charge.
To the Executive Mansion.
The family of Col. A. D. Candler, ex
cept T. C. and John, moved to Atlanta
Monday. Rod and John will continue to
reside in the city, where they both have
lucrative positions.
Gone to Thomaston.
The family of D. H. Standsbury leave
this week for Thomaston, where Mt.
Stansbury has a good situation with a
shoe factory. The furniture and house
hold goods were shipped yesterday.
Mrs. Cox Better.
Mrs. W. S. Cox of Wilson’s District,
who has been dangerously ill from
pneumonia the past ten days, was re
ported some better yesterday evening.
Her son-in-law, Dr. J. A. Parsons, of
Milton county, is attending her.
•
Has Sold Out.
Johny Ashford, who recently moved
his stock of goods from the Red store
on Green street to the Sanders building,
on Bradford street, is now confined at
home suffering from yellow jaundice.
While sick he decided to dispose of his
stock of goods and retire from business.
This he did Monday.
All On the Quiet.
J. T. Walker, Guy Evans, Edwin
Smith and Howard Smith have completed
the construction of a telegraph line which
connects their residences and affords
them an exclusive system over which
they can conduct secret communications
without a “Central” to listen to them, or
a cross wire or open switch to convey their
messages to ears which they were not
intended to reach.
These four young men are to be con
gratulated. Their work is to their credit
and to carry out their purposes they will
acquire a knowledge of telegraphy which
may be of service to them in the future.
Nip and Tuck.
J. O. Adams, who has been in Atlanta
since Monday, returned home last night.
He says the caucus which will determine
the fate of the aspirants for Judgeships
and Solicitors-General’s places will be
held tonight. He says the races be
tween Kimsey and Estes and Charters
and Johnson are close and spirited.
Each one of these gentlemen is said to
be sanguine and will be disappointed if
defeated. Tonight, however, will de
termine their fate.
The Coming Grain Crop.
From all indications a larger grain
crop will he sown this fall than ever be
fore, and all progressive farmers will
want the most approved implements.
Read ad of Dinkins & Co. of this city.
Their implements are the very best
made, according to the test of years of
experience, and they are now selling
cheaper than ever before.
How to Prevent Croup.
We have two children who are subject
to attacks of croup. Whenever an attack
is coming on my wife gives them Cham
berlain’s Cough Remedy and it always
prevents the attack. It is a household
necessity in this county and no matter
what else we run out of, it would not do
to be without Chamberlain’s Cough
Remedy. More of it is sold here than of
all other cough medicines combined.—J.

The Narfes Good Enough.
A petition will be circulated this week
asking the city council to change the
names of Park and Prior streets, or,
rather, to exchange their names.
Park street runs from Race eastward to
the city limits, which is parallel Wfth the
city park, but does not come within a
block of the park, as Candler street lies
between them. Prior street, on the
other band, runs parallel with Race and
leads to the center of the park. There
fore it is held that Prior street should be
named Park and Park street should take
the name of Prior; that the name of these
two streets should be swapped, on the
idea of preventing strangers from being
misled and driving to a bluff, instead of
the city park after entering Park street.
R. V. Cobb, who made the city map
and who laid off these two streets, says
that he made the error in labeling the
two streets, that he intended that the
one leading to the park should be called
Park street and the other Prior street.
As it is the council alone can correct
this error and it will be asked to do it.
We would like to know what difference
it makes whether Park street leads to
the city park or not. There is nothing
in a name, and there are many other
streets in the city that do not lead to
their namesakes.
The editor of this paper lives on Park
street, and he has had great trouble the
past five years in teaching his country
wood-haulers where Park street is, and
he doesn’t want the.whole thing rubbed
out and have to start all over again.
When he first moved to Park street he
found that neither the mayor nor any of
the councilmen knew where the street
was. The whole tribunal knows now,
through efforts to have Park street
opened through to Green in order to
connect with other places in the outside
world without traveling more than a
mile around corners.
If our esteemed city fathers want to do
something for Park street let them ex
tend it about a block westward. Then
they can call it Bill Jones street if they
wish. If this is not done, then Park will
do as well as Prior, and Prior can still
get to the city park as quickly and with
as little trouble as though it were named
Park.
As the situatien stands at present, you
can get to the park byway of Park by
as little circuitousness as you can reach
the public square.
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.

Some of our farmers are as blue as a
bag of indigo because of the current price
of cotton. We hope they will ’put on a
more cheerful disposition and amend the
matter by planting less cotton and sow
ing more wheat. We have made close
inquiry and have learned that there will
be more wheat sown this fall than in
many years past.

Mr. George Cato celebrated hie birth
day by giving a big dinner last Sunday.
It was a family reunion, too, and there
were thirty or forty guests, which in
cluded his children, grandchildren,
great-grandchildren, and many other
relatives on his side of the house and his
wife’s side. It was quite a sumptuous
dinner and was thoroughly enjoyed.
Freeman Deason, who went to Atlanta
on his bike some time since, had the
misfortune to get his wheel stolen, and
as a result he made it home last Saturday

Aside from looking a little hungry, he
appeared all right.

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 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.

She suffered excessive nausea and attacks of

“ Another bad symptom was a cough, which
was so unremitting that it was the general
opinion of our friends that she was consump
tive. She lost flesh rapidly. Sometimes she
would be confined to the bed for two or
three weeks, then be around again, but only
to suffer a relapse.
“ She was not only a physical wreck, but
her mind was affected, and at times she had
no realization of what she was doing. We
feared, in fact, a complete mental overthrow
and consequent removal to an asylum, for
although we had two of the best physicians
in the city, and had tried several proprietary
medicines, none benefited her.
“We had read considerable about Dr.
Williams’ Pink Pills for Pale People, and
had also heard of some cases where they
had done good and we decided to give them
a trial. We purchased some at the drug
store of White & Burdick, of this city.
“ Hattie began to take the pills in the
early part of January of this year. Im
provement was noticeable after the first box
had been taken. The first hopeful sign that
I noticed was that she did not complain of
headache. The attacks of dizziness also be
gan to abate in frequenev, and she ceased to
cough. One after another, the distressing
symptoms left her. She took, in all, nine
boxes of the pills. At the present time she
is in perfect health. The alteration in her
mind and body is almost past belief.
