A REPUBLICAN DAY.
The elections held Tuesday
throughout the country tflis practi
cally a sweeping Republican victory.
But North Carolina was redeemed
from negro rule by a majority of
over 20,000. As we have predicted
all along, Roosevelt won in New
York, his majority being about 20,-
000.
The House of Representatives will
be Republican over all by about 10.
The Senate will be Republican over
all by about 13. Republicans gained
a Senator in following states, each :
New York, West Virginia, Delaware,
Wyoming, Wisconsin, California,
Indiana, and New Jersey.
The following states went Repub
lican: Ohio, 60,000; Indiana, 10,-
000; Nevada, 2,000; Pennsylvania,
150,000; New York, 20,000;
Delaware, 2,000; Massachusetts, 85,-
000 : California 15,000 ; Illinois, 30,-
000 ; Nebraska, 40,000 ; Wyoming,
2,000 ; lowa, 45,000 ; Wisconsin, 40,-
000 ; Michigan, 5b,000; South
Dakota, 1,400.
The Democrats won all over the
South, carrying Kentucky and North
Carolina by almost a clean sweep.
They also carried Utah by 3,000;
Colorado by 50,000, and Minnesota
by good majority.
FACING THE PROBLEM.
Last spring when three prominent
leaders in Georgia politics were
canvassing for the governorship the
pressing question of high taxes was
the paramount theme on every
stump throughout the state. Each
of these excellent gentlemen declared
that taxes must be reduced, but how
they did not say. They were a unit
in the expression that the schools
and the pensions must not be
touched. At that time the Eagle
advanced the opinion that when we
entered upon the task of tax re
duction we would find that the only
available place to apply the pruning
knife would be the appropriations
for schools and pensions. We are
now confirmed in that opinion. No
cut will relieve the situation that
does not run through at least six
figures. It must be a cut of hun
dreds of thousands.
Now that a deficit of $1,000,000
is turning up in* the treasury, and
the state as well as the citizes is on
the verge of bankruptcy, the Atlanta
Constitution has came to see it as
the Eagle saw it several months ago.
Ina well-timed and able editorial this
paper says:
“'faking into consideration the
circumstances and conditions sur
rounding the taxpayers, recent legis
latures have indulged in the wildest
forms of extravagance. For instance,
the public school fund is $1,600,000
a year, and our pension list is in
round numbers $700,000, which is
more than is paid by all the other ex
confederate states combined. Now,
a school fund of $1,600,000 may
place us on the top wave of civiliza
tion, and it may be the most desirable
thing in the world viewed in and of
itself. A pension list may be the
very essence of patriotism, and it
probably is. But there are other
considerations. The members of the
legislature must ask themselves
whether they can afford to bankrupt
the state or give the screw ®f tax
ation its last awful turn in the name
of civilization and patriotism.
“When taxation becomes confisca
tion it is time to call a halt!”
THE INCREASE OF GOLD.
The increase in gold production in
the Uuittd Statesjlast year over 1896
was $4,275,000; in Russia, $1,709,
790; in Australia, $10,502,249; and in
South Africa no less than $12,854,-
192. The world’s gold product alone
for 1897 is said to exceed by $7,450,-
000 the value of the combined gold
and silver product of all countries
only 10 years earlier, in 1887. For
the current year it is anticipated by
the mint experts that the gold out
put will far surpass the record of any
preceding 12 months. The United
States lead other countries in gold
production, and Colorado leads all
the States in the production of both
gold and silver. It is estimated that
Colcfrado alone will produce $28,-
000,000 of gold this year.
The United States coinage during
the year was 1 Gold $76,028,485;
silver $18,487,297.
Gold produced in the United States
last year, was $57,363,000; in Africa,
$58,306,600; in Australia, $55,684,-
200; and Australia produced nearly
16,000,000 ounces of silver. The
next highest producer of gold is
Russia, $23,245,700.
A QUESTION OF SINK OR SWIM.
It is said that the coming report,
of the State Treasurer will show an I
alarming deficit in the State's 1
finances on the first of January. At
that date the appropriations due and
unpaid will foot up $1,649,035.61,
with cash on hand to meet this
amounting to $421,611.76. This will
leave a deficit of $1,227,423.85.
Governor Candler was asked his
views on the subject and said :
“I am not yet officially informed
on the subject, but I understand that
there will be a large deficit in the
treasury next year if something is
not done to meet the emergency.
“I think patriotic men should get
together and agree on a plan to
meet this difficulty. I am not desi
rous of cutting the school fund, the
pension fund, the salaries of officers
or the appropriations of the state in
stitutions. I am not prepared to
discuss those details, but on one
point my views are clear and well
defined. We must not increase the
tax rate.
“The first thing to do is to catch
the tax dodgers and make all pay
who are not paying.”
Comptroller General Wm. A.
Wright said on the subject:
“It will enough to meet
the emergency if we can go at it
with a heroic spirit. There are two
ways to do it; either cut the school
and pension funds half in two or
bring up the tax dodgers and make
them pay.
“My plan is to have assessors in
each county to equalize values. Let
tax payers list their property and let
the assessors put a valuation on it.
“Let every man be required to list
his notes, accounts, n ortgages, liens,
judgments and other evidences of
debt. Let him have two columns,
one for the face value and one for
the market value, and file the list
with the ordinary or county commis
sioners. Then make all debts uncol
lectable if not returned for taxation.
In other words, don’t give the pro
tection of the courts to property
which refuses to bear its share of the
burden of government.
“Then let each corporation return
its bonds and require the treasurer to
pay tax on them, deducting it from
the interest coupons. That would
get an immense amount of property
that is unreturned. The corporations
would fight it, but the holders of
bonds should be made to pay.
“If the legislature will enact a law
of this kind it will not only relieve
the present situation, but will perma
nently reduce the tax rate to the
great relief of the honest tax payers.”
TO STUDY AUSTRALIAN SYSTEM.
The legislative has appointed a
committe of eight to visit other
states and look into the working of
the Australian ballot system. The
committee left Monday morning to
visit Alabama, Ohio and other states
that operate under the system.
Representative A. R. Smith of
Hall was made chairman of the com
mittee, and we must say that no bet
ter man could have been found for
the place.
THE ORNAMENTAL MILITARY.
Governor Candler last week ap
pointed his military staff and the
announcement of the appointments
was the only event of importance in
legislative and political circles. It
was generally understood that he
would have a smaller staff than
Governor Atkinson, but few people
were prepared for the sweeping re
duction that he has made in the chief
executive’s military family. Gov
ernor Atkinson appointed 104 on his
staff and Governor Candler has ap
pointed thirty-six. The following is
a correct and official list of the new
appointments:
Judge-Advocate General, Geo. M.
Napier of Walton, with rank of
colonel.
Quartermaster-General A. J. West
of Fulton, with rank of colonel.
Aides-de-camp, with rank of lieu
tenant-colonel :

WAR TAXES LIKELY TO REMAIN.
Secretary of the Treasury Gage?
gives but little hope that the war
i taxes will soon become a thing of the
past. As he views the future the?
expenses of the country must he
much greater than ever before. The
billion dollar congress will be out
done. Expenditures on the navy,
both in the construction of new ves
sels and the increased cost of main
tenance, and on the army with its
i probib’y trebled strength, will neces
| sitate appropriations that will far
surpass the maximum set by the
! Republican House several years ago.
The contemplated expansion ofter
; ritory will add many millions to the
annual budget of expense. The in
come from the “colonies” will not
j for j ears, perhaps never, reach the
j outlay caused by their possession.
LEGISLATIVE COMMITTEES.
The speaker of the house an-
I nounced his committees yesterday.
The assignments of our Hall county

GONE DOWN FOR GOOD.
The cruiser Maria Teresa, recov
ered at Santiago from Cervera’s
sunken fleet and bound for Norfolk
in tow, was lost at sea off San Sal
vador, Bahamas, Nov. 1. A furious
■ storm overtook her and in her condi
tion she was unable to weather the
; gale.
The strain opened the rents in her
i hull, which had been patched to en
able her to make the journey, and
she began to fill rapidly.
SOME BIG BRIDGES.
Contractor Nunn of Gainesville,
Ga., who is building the bridge
across Broad river between Ogle
thorpe and Elbert counties, secured
the contract for erecting the one at
Bell’s ferry last Thursday. The
, bridge will be located about a hun
dred yards below the ferry. Mr.
Nur.n’s bid was the lowest one, being
for $3,300.
That makes the two bridges across
Broad river cost only $5,500, or
about half what was generally sup
posed the bridges would cost.—Eiber

In sentencing a man for wife-beat
ing at Thomaston, Judge Atwater
slid : “If I were the judge of the su
perior court I would send you to the
penitentiary for two years. As it is,
I will fine you $25 and costs. The
sentence of two years would be none
too severe for a wife-beater. The
man who beats a woman, and that
woman his own wife, too, is too mean
to be anywhere except in the peni
tentiary.”
A considerable explosion occurred
in the National Capitol, under the
Supreme Court room, last Sunday.
It was caused by bursting of the gas
meter. Great damage was done to
the building and some valuable docu

The New York municipal assembly
adopted a resolution commending
the work of Miss Helen Gould during
the war. In her letter of thanks,
she said, “An American woman
should stand ready to serve her
country to the extent of her ability.”
Miss Helen Gould is doing much to

Governor Candler says that when
he was a candidate for governor be
asked the people to hear him, and
now that he is governor he deems it
his duty to hear the people whenever
they have anything to say to him.
The Atlanta Journal thinks that is
trne Democracy.
The city council of Macon has
granted Chief of Police John T.
Boifeuillet a 50-day leave of absence
while he discharges the duties of
chief clerk of the house. Boifeuillet
is a resourceful fellow.
Mrs. S. C. Harris, the mother of
the first child born in the city of At

day. She was fitly called the “moth

Cobb county, and moved to Marthas
ville in 1842.
Appropos of the trouble between
the whites and blacks in North Caro
lina, the Richmond Times tells a
story of an old negro, soon after the
Danville riot in 1883, who was asked
by one of the men patrolling one of
the roads leading into town, “Are
you a readjuster negro?” “‘Naw,
boss.’ replied the black man ; ‘I aint
no Reinjester, I aint no Dimecrat, I
aint no Publican. I aint no nothin’
but a po’ nigger, and I done made
up my min’ dat I am never gwine
projic no mo’ wid dat angry Saxon
race.’ ”
A bright woman’s quick wit at
Constantinople the other day turned
the laugh on the German Emperor.
The woman was Mrs. Oscar Straus,
wife of the American minister to
Turkey. It was at the gala banquet
given at the palace by the Sultan in
honor of the Emperor. Evidently
mistaking Mrs. Straus for the wife of
another diplomat, the Emperor said
to her that he knew her Queen very
well. “I presume,” Mrs. Straus re
plied quickly, “that your Majesty re
fers to Mrs. McKinley.”
DORA COMES BACK.
Tires of a Sinful Partner and Re*
turns to the Old Home.
Dora Haynes, the 14-year-old daughter
of Shelton Haynes who went off with
Andrew Brock on Friday night, the 28th
ultimo, returned home last Friday, one„
week from the day she had been induced
to leave her father's roof.
The girl’s story is one that appeals to
; sympathy of the community. As related
ito ns by a friend of the family, Brock
i came to the city Friday and hired a horse
and buggy from Buffington’s stable. He
i drove to his home in Morgans district,
arriving about 9 o’clock at night There
he found that his wife had gone to sit up
with a neighbor, Webb Ash, by his re
quest. In her absence he ransacked the
house for a new suit of clothes his wife
had put away. On failing to find them
he tore up the beds and cut some of them
with his knife. He then stole the girl,
Dora Haynes, and drove to town wit
her, stopping at Tom Cooper’s near the
Southern depot until the 4 o’clock
passenger train came. Procuring tickets
to Anniston, Ala., they boarded the
train. From Anniston they went to
Little Rock, Ark., Brock telling the girl
all the while that he was carrying her to
visit Dr. Will Crow, who he alleged lived
I in Little Rock.
On reaching Little Rock she was left
lin the waiting room while Brock went
out to look for Dr. Crow, He returned
a few hours later and said Dr. Crow had
gone to Texas and they bad better go
there too. This, however, the girl de
clined to do. She further informed him
that if he did not send her back to her
mother that she would make his conduct
and purposes known to the civil author
ities. Brock then brought her back to
Anniston, Ala., and purchased a ticket
■ for her to Gainesville and gave her 35
' cents.
She came back, arriving at Tom
Cooper’s last Wednesday night. From
there she was carried to J. R. Reed’s,
who notified her uncle, Thos. A. Hiynes,
and Prof. A. W. Morrow of her return,
j They broke the news to her parents and
carried her home last Friday, one week
from the day of her departure.
The girl was 14 years old in September.
She still wears short dresses and looks
and acts like a girl. Her father is a
highly respected citizen. As he was re
turning from a Masonic meeting of the
Chestnut Mountain Lodge about a year
ago he fell and broke one leg, which was
afterwards amputated.
The tender age of the girl, together
with the fact that the father has but one
leg makes Brock’s crime appear more
heinous than it would were the girl
older and the father not a cripple.
Brock is about 35 years of age and has
a devoted wife and three beautiful chil
dren. Before this occurrence he bore a
good reputation.
Aunt Sallie Gone.
Ordinary Rudolph received notice Mon
day of the death of old Aunt Saliie Tug
gle, an old negro woman who was sent to
the asylum a few months ago. She died
in that institution and was given a Chris
tian burial.
Hoyt Evans Run Over.
Hoyt, son of Mr. and Mrs. J. P. Evans
of Athens, happened to a very serious
accident last Friday. He was c.<?ssing
one of the streets of Athens when he
was run over by a Mr. Price, whose horse
and buggy passed over him breaking one
of his legs just above the knee and in
flicting several painful bruises.
Mr. Price was engaged in a buggy race
with a Mr. Phinizy. As young Evans
crossed the street in front of the racers
he fell and was run over.
Mr. Evans and family have many
friends here, this being their former
home.
Suddath’s Mill Burned.
The Suddath mill and ginnery, belong

very valuable property.
It is supposed that the fire started
from a spark from the engine.

sonal friends.
Damages for Lynching.
The supreme court of Ohio has de
clared the anti-lynching law of that state
to be constitutional. The law provides
that the heirs of the victims of a lynch
ing party may sue the county in which
the lynching occurs and recover damages.
A $5,000 verdict under this law has just
been sustained by the supreme court of
Ohio.
It is said that the sword to be pre
sented to Admiral Schley by the
people of Pennsylvania will cost
$2,500 and will be the finest eword

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 Strep
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
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,
