of business during ’96 and ’97, and as a result Os
the war with Spain prices reached their lowest

A MARY ELLEN SPANKED.
Au amusing instance of the turn
ing of the crushed worm came to
light in a New York police court the
other day. The accused was a Mr.
Mary E. Lease sort of man, who had
to stay at home and cook and mind
the babies while his wife went out to
lodge meetings and made speeches.
Finally the man rebelled, when his
wife joined still another lodge, and
slapped her. The justice before
whom the case was tried admitted
that the new woman business was
very tiresome and that the man had
some provocation, though assaulting
ene’s wife could not be condoned by
the law. In view of the mit
igating circumstances, the fine was
placed at $5.

THE TAX PROBLEM.
Governor Atkinson, in his message
to the legislature last week, says of
the problem of tax returns in
Georgia :
Under the present system of mak
ing tax returns, outside of where the
returns are affected by local assess
ment systems of towns and cities,
each man is his own tax assessor and
places upon his property such
value as be sees fit, even himself in
many instances confessing that the
amount at which it has been re
turned by him for taxes bears no
approximate relation to the real value
of the property. While the legisla
ture nominally fixes the tax rate for
the state to be collected from her
citizens, each citizen has the power
to fix his own tax rate, and many of
them do fix it at an unjustly low rate
by placing a valuation upon their
property far below its value, and on
a scale much lower than that by
which the property of their neighbors
is valued. The man who pays
taxes upon property unfairly valued
at SSOO, while on property of the
same value his neghbor pays on
SI,OOO, is lowering his own tax rate
one-half, depriving the state of its
just revenue and placing an unjust
burden upon his honest neighbor
who values bis property correctly.
I most earnestly recommend that
some pla« be devised by which the
state can arrive at something like a
just valuation of the property of its
citizens subject to taxation, and pro
tect the man who honestly returns
his taxes against proper valuation.
It is well to bear in mind that any
plan which you may adopt will,
when put into practical operation,
prove imperfect; but as these de
fects appear it will be the duty of
your successors to correct them and
continue to perfect the law. Certain
it is that no system that can be
adopted can be open to greater
abuses or more flagrant injustice
than the law under which our
property is now returned for taxation.
A proper plan of assessment of
property for taxation will not only
equalize values, but place upon the
tax-books a vast amount of personal
effects which now escape taxation.

A CLEAN ADMINISTRATION.
This week will see the end of ring
domination at the state capitol, and
the beginning of an administration
that is more in touch with the peo
ple than the politicians.
Rugged, honest old Allen D. Can
dler wifl go into the executive office
with the full confidence of the peo
ple, and we are willing to stake our
future on the prediction that he will
do nothing, during the entire four
years of his administration, that will
betray that confidence or cause the
people of Georgia to regret that they
have so honored him.
We have been taught to speak
gently of the dead, therefore we have
no further criticism to offer against
the outgoing administration. The
people have registered their disap
proval of peanut politics, and their
meaning cannot be misunderstood.
Os the new state house officers it
can be truthfully said that not one
of them is undeserving of the honor
conferred. They are in thorough
harmony with their chief and we con
fidently look for the best and alto
gether most satisfactory administra
tion of the state’s affairs that has
been known in years.—Macon News.
Parsnip Complexion.
It does not require an expert to detect
the sufferer from kidney trouble. The
hollow cheeks, the sunken eyes, the
dark, puffy circles under the eyes, the
sallow parsnip-colored complexion indi
cates it. w
A physician would ask if you had
rheumatism, a dull pain or ache in the
back or over the hips, stomach trouble,
desire to urinate often, or a burning or
scalding in passing it; if after passing
there is an unsatisfied feeling as if it
must be at once repeated, or if the urine
has a brick dust deposit or strong odor.
When these symptoms are present, no
time should be lost in removing the
cause.
Delay may lead to gravel, catarrh of
the bladder, inflammation, causing stop
page, and sometimes requiring the draw
ing of the urine with instruments, or
may run into Bright’s Disease, the most
dangerous stage of kidney trouble.
Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-Root, the great
discovery of the eminent kidney and
bladder specialist, is a positive remedy
for such diseases. Its reputation is
world-wide and it is so easy to get at any
drug store that no one need suffer any
length of time for want of it.
However, if you prefer to first test its
wonderful merits, mention The Gaines
ville Eagle and write to Dr. Kilmer &
Co., Binghamton, N. Y. for a sample
bottle and book telling all about it, both

The war investigating board is now in
the South. It seems that the board is
not unearthing anything of a very sensa
tional nature. The truth is, we suspect,
that there was more smoke than fire in
the reported neglect and mismanagement
of the war department authorities. Un
less the commission “cusses” out some
body and raises a big racket, it will be
said that they put up a first-class job of
whitewashing. We don’t belong to that
gang, and hope that they will find things
square and right. At all events, let the
report be based on the facts, whatever
they may be. __

THE SECOND GEORGIA STAYS.
Senator Bacon has obtained the
consent of the president for the Sec
ond Georgia volunteer regiment re
maining in the United States service.
Senator Bacon was accompanied by
Col. Oscar J. Brown and Capt. Wil
coxson of the Second Georgia.
The First and Second Georgia
regiments were ordered mustered
out some time ago, but a large num
ber of the men in both
preferred to remain in the service
The order of the president will allow
the men of both regiments who want
to go out to do so, while those who
wish to remain in can go in the Sec
ond. It is thought there will be
more men than vacancies in the
regiment.
McKinley May Come.
Washington, Oct. 28.—A commit
mittee of prominent citizens of At
lanta, Ga., called at the White House
to-day and invited President McKin
ley to attend the celebration of the
peace jubilee to be held in that city
in the near future. The date for the
celebration has not yet been defi
nitely decided upon, the committee
informing the president that the date
would depend upon his convenience.
The president expressed his earnest
desire to make the trip but stated
that it was not likely, owing to the
pressure of public business, that he
would be able to leave Washington
before December 15. The commit
tee thereupon informed the piesident
that the celebration would be fixed
at that date, as it was greatly de
sired by the people of the State that
he should be present.
Gold Galore,
The gold reserve in the treasury
now amounts to $245,000,000, which
is a higher figure than it has ever
reached in the history of the United
States. Those pesimists who pre
dicted that war with Spain would
derange our financial system and
undermine the public credit ought to
have learned a valuable lesson by this
time.
Japan is making great headway in
the mari*hfacturing world. It is a
strange sac that it is now manufac
turing modern war material for the
use of western nations. Six big guns
turned out at the Japanese govern
ment arsenal at Osaka were supplied
to the Portuguese government.
The recent decision in the court of
appeals at Albany, N. Y., that prohi
bition of the sale of prison-made
goods is unconstitutional will be far
reaching in its effects. In the opin
ion delivered the court declared that
neither the constitution of the State
of New York nor of the United
States will sanction this prohibition,
which, it further declares, will work
to the benefit of one man against
another.
The Sparta Ishmaelite says: There
ought to be reform of the pension system
in Georgia. No one not absolutely indi
gent should draw a pension. The ten
dency is to pension every man who was
in the Confederate service. The motive
back of it may be all right, but the taxes
are already too high. The pension and
school funds should both be reduced.
Derivation of the Word Klondike.
“The River Trip to the Klondike”
is the title of an article by John Sid
ney Webb in The Century. Mr. Webb
says:
From Dawson City the trail to the
mines leads over a steep hill to the
creek made so famous by its tribu
taries, for there is not a single mine
on the principal stream, which in
the miners’ slang is called Klondike,
and yet this stream does in reality
bear a characteristic name given it
by the Indians, which is utterly
murdered by this pronunciation,
now so common.
The Indians name the creeks
throughout the country from some
characteristic in connection with the
stream itself, and as this one is so
swift that in order to set their salm
on traps or nets they were obliged
to use a hammer to drive the stakes
to anchor them the creek was named
by them Hammer creek, or, in their
language, phonetically, Troan Dik.
The spelling Klondike means abso
lutely nothing, but has been accept
ed, so I learn, by the board of geo
graphical names of the United
States.

observed, one on each side. If the
latter finger be regarded, two phan
toms cf the nearer linger will be
observed mounting guard, on* on
either side.

SAM DAVIS.
When the Lord calls up earth’s heroes
io stand before his face,
Ob, many a name unknown to fame
Shall ring from that high place,
And out of a grave in the southland,
At the just God’s call and beck,
Shall one man rise with fearless eyes
And a rope about his neck!
For men have swung from gallows
Whose souls were white as enow.
Not how they die nor where, but why.
Is what God's records show.
And on that mighty ledger
Is writ Sam Davis’ name.
For honor’s sake he would not make ,
A compromise with shame.
The great world lay before him,
For he was in his youth.
With love of life young hearts are rife,
But better he loved truth.
He fought for his convictions,
And when he stood at bay
He would not flinch or stir one inch
From honor’s narrow way.
They offered life and freedom
If he would speak the word.
In silent pride he gazed aside
As one who had not heard.
They argued, pleaded, threatened—
It was but wasted breath.
“Let come what must, I keep my trust,”
He said and laughed at death.
He would not sell his manhood
To purchase priceless hope.
Where kings drag down a name and crown
He dignifled a rope.
Ah, grave, where was your triumph?
Ah, death, where was your sting ?
He showed you how a man could bow
To doom and stay a king.
And God, who loves the loyal
Because they are like him,
I doubt not yet that soul shall set
Among his cherubim!
O southland, fling your laurels,
And add your wreath, O north!
Let glory claim the hero’s name,
And tell the world his worth!
—Ella Wheeler Wilcox in Confederate Veteran.

girl, “what is a labial salutation S’’

“Why not, Mr. Trimmer? Here

Mr. Trimmer trembled with agita

“I am such a poor hand at illus

“Please, Mr. Trimmer.”
“Well,” he gasped, “if you will
promise to shut your eyes while I’m
doing the d-drawing, I’ll t-try.”
The pretty girl closed her eyes,
the wicked Trimmer leaned trium
phantly forward, there was a long
drawn chee-chee-cheep, and all was
over.
“Why, Mr. Trimmer,” said the
pretty girl as her eyes flew open, “is
that what it is?”
“Yes, yes,” cried the frightened
youth. “It is, indeed. I’ll get the

Claret and Tin de Grave.
Many young travelers on visiting
Bordeaux have been struck by the
fact that “the word claret as ap
plied to red wine is unknown in
France. ” But readers have the op
portunity of becoming aware, even
in prehistoric dictionary days, that
Basselin in the fourteenth century
used the word clairet of the wine
produced about Tours, and that his
memory was kept ruby down to the
present century in a version of one
of his songs, Englished as “Jolly
Nose.” Also Beaumarchais makes
his Figaro contrast wine so named,
perhaps of Bordeaux, with wine of
Burgundy.—Notes and Queries.

OAKS AND THISTLES.
The boy you dandle on your kuee with all a
parent's joy,
You reckon he’ll a great man be some time,
that little boy.
In dreams you think you see him staud with
thousands at his feet.
His fame is borne throughout the land; the
voice of praise is sweet.
He shall attain the highest place, your foolish
heart declares,
And all the world shall own his grace—the
world which little cares—
But here’s a maxim I suppose is worthy of your
heed—
Thistles do not from acorns grow, nor oaks
from thistle seed.
My neighbor Ginty is a man whose head is
somewhat flat.
He always wears, and nicely can, a six and
one-half hat.
And Teddy Ginty is a kid such as you often
note.
In whom more cussedness is hid than twenty
boys should tote.
But Ginty ewears that boy will be the wonder
of the age,
And to dispute the case, you see, would Ginty
much enrage.
And yet I doubt it, for, you know, I cannot
fail to heed
That thistles don’t from acorus grow, nor oaks
from thistle seed.
Oaks do not grow from thistle seed nor saints ■
from wicked dads,
Nor men of brawn from pas, indeed, who run I
to liver pads.
A twelve ounce brain has never yet to genius
given birth,
And when two fools in love have met their
child won’t sway the earth.
No knavish fellow breeds a saint, no roses
weeds adorn;
The boys who handle carmine paint were not
of angels born.
In short, as here 1 strive to show, all facts de
note, indeed,
That thistles don’t from acorns grow, nor oaks
from thistle seed.

the creditors and next of kin or T. N. Bryan
to be and appear at my office within the time
allowed by law, and show cause, if any they I

The Philadelphia Record says that
the cost of the railway from Guaya
quil to Quito, in Ecuador, which is
now being built by American cap
italists, is estimated at $18,000,000
for 400 miles. It will be the highest
railway in the world, with stations at
an elevation of 8,250, 9,360 and 10,-
000 feet above the sea level.
Washington will soon have more
and better hotels than any other
place of its size in Georgia. The late
Robert Toombs always opposed the
erection of a hotel. He declared
that when a good man came to town
he was welcome at Toombs’s home.
If he was not a good man he was not
wanted in the town at all. Craw
fordville never had a decent hostelry
till Mr. Stephens died. Every vis
itor to that town put up at Liberty
Hall.
Some of the cannon captured at Santi
