REBUILD THE BRIDGE.
The storm of last Saturday night
blew Brown’s Bridge off the pillars
into the river.
The county authorities should have
the timbers taken out of the water at
once and saved, and have the bridge
rebuilt.
For the past fifty years this cross
ing has been one of the most impor
tant thoroughfares leading into Hall
county.
Just below on this side is an impor
tant mill site.
Despite the calamity howlers that
usually appear to stop the wheels of
progress, the bridge should be rebuilt
without delay.
PUNCHING THE NATIVES.
Fighting is still going on in the
Philippines. There is a fight or a
skirmish, or both, almost every day.
On Tuesday there was quite a brush,
in which 250 Pagans were killed and
one Christian.
If these naked savages just won’t
be civilized and converted, there is
nothing like ramming in down them.
This is by far the most effective way.
It covers the ground more quickly,
and bears fruit in a hurry. Suppose
Mahomet had been content to sow
the seeds of his peculiar religion and
then sit down and await the slow
process of germination and growth?
Ha didn’t do that, but buckled on
his sword and went forth, and when
he got through with the nations,
what was left of them were most
devout Mohammedans.
Uncle Sam is taking lessons from
the Prophet of Medina, to wit:
when you go to do a thing take the
nighest cut.
THE COST OF THE WAR.
It cannot be stated with any degree
of accuracy what the cost of the war,
begun to free Cuba from the yoke of
Spain, has been up to the present
time, but it has been stated on the
floor at congress to be about $600,-
000,000. How much more we shall
have to spend before Cuba has a gov
ernment of her own and order and
law are restored in the Philippines
no one can say. It would not be sur
prising if our expenditures growing
directly out of the war, including the
increased cost of our army and navy,
should amount to $1,000,000,000.
That is an immense sum, but if we
have spent $600,000,000 thus far, we
see no reason why our expenditures
should not aggregate $400,000,000
more before we are through with the
job.
A TRILLION-DOLLAR CONGRESS.
The 55th Congress, which came to
an end last Saturday, appropriated,
in both sessions, $1,566,890,016.28.
Os this sum $482,562,083 47 is
directly chargeable to our late war
with Spain or incident thereto.
Deducting this charge from the
whole amount of the appropriations,
the remainder, $1,084,327632.81 rep
resents the ordinary or normal appro
priations made by the Fifty-fifth
Congress.
The result is an actual deficiency in
current revenues, amounting on the
first of this month, to 99,109,554,50.
This deficiency, as shown by a recent
conservative estimate by Chairman
Cannon of the appropriation com
mittee, will probably reach $159,-
000,000 on the 30th of June next.
GOLD MINERS MEET.
The Southern Gold Miners’ Asso
ciation, an organization for the
development of the gold mining
interests of the South, held its first
convention in Atlanta last Saturday.
The convention was called to order
in the Chamber of Commerce build
ing by the president. H. D. Jaquiah,
of Gainesville.
President Jaquish addressed the
convention, setting forth the objects
of the association, which were, he
said, to disburse information and
mutual benefits relating to the gold
mining interest of the state and sec
tion.
Addresses of welcome were made
by Mayor Woodward, Capt. Neal
and Capt. Lowry. Capt. Lowry has
made a study of the gold mines of
the state, and made many valuable
suggestions to the convention. Ex-
Gov. Northen made an address, ask
ing that the association make a fine
exhibit at the state fair in October.
Following are the officers of the asso
ciation : H. D. Jaquish of Gaines
ville, president; John Martin of
Nacoochee, vice president; Walter P.
Andrews of Atlanta, secretary; Otto
Scupin of Auraria, u-easurer; George
W. Sciple of Atlanta, George E. Col
lins of Nacoochee and G. W. Shep
par of Tallapoosa, executive com
mittee.
A permanent association was
formed, to be known as the Southern
Gold Miner’s Association. A con
stitution and by-laws were adopted,
and it was decided to hold the annual
meeting in Atlanta in December
The miners have come to the con
clusion that there is very little to be
made out of free milling propositions,
pure and simple. There ought to be
concentration when the ore is run
through a stamp mill, and the con
centrates can be chlorinated or
smelted. A number of miners said
that they could not afford to ship
their crude ore, but could mill and
stamp their concentrates, which
would stand the cost of hauling,
freight and smelting.
WORK ON THE FARMS.
The farm work throughout the
entire State has been greatly delayed
on account of the unprecedented
weather that has prevailed since the
first of the year, and it will require
several weeks of good weather before
the farmers can catch up with their
work.
Hon. O. B. Stevens, commissioner
of agriculture, issued last Friday bis
weekly talk to the farmers and there
are a number of interesting questions
discussed from a scientific standpoint.
Commissioner Stevens says in bis
monthly bulletin that the farmers are
from three to five weeks behind in
their work. He urges that the far
mers make haste slowly, warning
them not to plow their lands when
too wet.
“Neither will it pay to plant your
corn before the land is thoroughly
prepared,” says the commissioner.
“I had rather be two weeks late in
seeding my crop, with the land wsll
broken and bedded, taking special
care to put in compost or commercial
manure, than to plant the usual time
with the ground hastily and ill-pre
pared and the grain and fertilizer
put in in a careless manner.”
CARLISLE ON THE PHILIPPINES.
Hon. John G- Carlisle, ex-secretary
of the treasury, is opposed to the an
nexation of the Philippines. He
says: “Such an acquisition would
not strengthen us; on the contrary,
it would be a constant drain on our
resources without any substantial
compensation for the outlay. Even
when not in a state of actual insur
rection the people are turbulent,
cruel, and unmindful of the rights of
person or property, and it will require
a most vigilant administration of the
law by honest and capable officials
to preserve order among them, even
in the most enlighted parts of the
islands, while in some parts it is at
least doubtful whether this can be
done at all. Spain has tried it for
more than three centuries and has
signally failed. Millions of dollars
have been expended and thousands
of lives have been lost in a vain
effort to inforce obedience to the
laws. If we acquire the Philippines
we will find it more difficult to defend
them against any great European
naval power than it will be to defend
the whole coast of the United States
against the same power. They will
add comparatively nothing to our
strength or prosperity in time of
peace and they will be a positive
weakness to us in time of war.”
Dr. Hawthorne Quits Pulpit.
Nashville, Tenn., March 6.—After
his sermon at the First Baptist church
yesterday morning Dr. J. B. Haw-
Thorne, pastor, announced his inten
tion to resign the pastorate.
In making this announcement the
preacher said :
“After 41 years of labor in teach
ing men to become reconciled to
God, the Lord seems to be saying to
me ‘Enough.’ Now comes the period
of final trial in which will be made
manifest the real elements of my
character. If it bo so, if my work in
the Christian ministry be done, and
I must be laid aside, my prayer is
that I may have the grace to say,
‘Thy will be done.’ ”
Dr. Hawthorne has recently been
suggested as the man to succeed Dr.
Wbitsitt, president of the Baptist
seminary at Louisville.
Will Betain Five Volunteer Generals.
Washington, March 7.—Though
not fixed beyond amendment, at this
moment, ths list of five officers who
are likely to be retained in the grade
of major general of volunteers is:
General Otis, commander at
Manila.
General Lawton, about to arrive at
that place and take charge of the
active military operations.
General Shafter in command of the
department of California.
General Fitzhugh Lee and prob
ably General Wilson, in Cuba.
Owing to the severe limitations
imposed by the army reorganization
bill, the war department will find
itself unable to bestow a major gen
eral’s commission on such a man as
General Henry, now in command of
the entire island of Porto Rico.
Suspected of Wife Murder.
Blairsville, Ga., March 6.—Mrs.
John Scroggins was found dead Sun
day near her home in Gum Log dis
trict, eight miles north of this place.
Her husband, John Scroggins will be
implicated in some way with the
affair, as it is said he was very cruel
to her. An inquest will be held by
the coroner.
Killed While Ringing Church Bell.
Plymouth, Mass., March s.—Wil
liam A. Hoaxie, 88 years old, was
struck by lightning and killed while
ringing the bell of the Congregational
church in Chiltonville today. The
lightning badly wrecked the tower
and front part of the church, but
fortuately did not set it on fire.
Tom Watson for Commencement
Orator.
Hon Joseph W. Bailey, of Texas,
has declined the invitation of the
Phi Kappa society to deliver the ad
dress before the literary societies of
the University at the approaching
commencement.
Mr. Bailey in his letter to the Phi
Kappa committee, stated that it
would give him great pleasure to ac
cept the invitation and address the
young men of the University, but his
business engagements were such as to
preclude the possibility of his being
in Athens during the commencement
week of the University.
The society then decided to extend
an invitation to Hon. Thomas E.
Watson, of Thomson, Ga., to deliver
the commencement address.
Through a committee of the young
men of the Phi Kappa society, Mr.
W atson has been invited, and now
has the invitation under consider
ation. It is hoped by one and all
that he will accept, and it is believed
that he will do so.
This invitation, coming as it does
from a large number of enthusiastic
young democrats, is, indeed, a high
tribute to the ability of Mr. Watson
as an orator and lecturer.
Mr. Watson has always been a
bard student and a lover of literature.
His recent contributions to
literature, “The History of France,”
is in itself full proof of his ability as
a writer and thinker. There is no
doubt of his powers as an orator.
If Mr. Watson should accept the
invitation of the Phi Kappa society,
all who attend the exercises at com
mencement may rest assured that
they will be highly pleased and
entertained by his address.—Banner.
Damage Done by The Blizzard.
The inquiries which have been
made throughout the state respecting
the damage done by the recent cold
spell shows that our farmers and
fruit growers suffered to the extent
of several millions of dollars. It is,
of course, impossible to give an
estimate which approaches accuracy,
because of the difficulty in finding
out what injury was done in every
part of every county, but it is quite
evident from the reports that in all
of the southern counties the peach
crop will be a failure. In the north
ern counties there will be some
peaches, but there will be no such
peach crop in the state as there was
last year, when the fame of the Geor
gia peach reached every city and
town of importance in the country.
Wheat and oats have also been dam
aged to a greater or less extent. Os
plums and figs there will be but a
limited supply. It is safe to say
that, when all the facts are taken
into consideration, the estimate of
the damage is not too great.
We have had a great many reports
from Florida, and, whlie all agree as
to the damage done to the vegetable
crops, there is a wide difference of
opinion as to the damage done to
the orange trees. This difference is
due, probably, to the fact that the
reports come from different localities.
In some sections of the state the
trees were damaged much more
seriously than in others.
Both Satisfied.
Though Kansas and Maine hold on
to state prohibition laws an effort is
being made to resubmit the question
io both those states.
It is not probable that this efiort
will succeed. John J. Ingalls
analyzed the situation in Kansas and
Maine pretty well when he said the
prohibitionists bad their prohibition
and the whisky men their whisky, so
that both are satisfied.
There is little difficulty in obtain
ing liquors of almost any kind and ic
any desired quantity in any part of
either of these prohibition states.
The reports of the internal revenue
department show that immense quan
tities of liquor are sold in these states,
and it is said that many of those who
are engaged in this traffic are in
favor of the continuance of the pro
hibition laws, because under them
they can carry on their business with
out the expense of state and local
licenses. Prohibition may prohibit
in some localities, but evidently it
does not do so in Kansas and Maine.
He Did Not Have It.
Htre .is a characteristic story of
Hon Isaac Parker, famous as the ter
rible judge at Fort Smith, Ark., who
probably sentenced more men to be
executed than any judge that ever
lived. This was not, however, be
cause he was so unrelentingly severe,
but because he bad the hardest and
most numerous lot of criminals to
deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One
day, when there was an unusually
large batch of culprits to be sen
tenced, the judge compassionately
looked over his spectacles at oae
young scamp, and said:
“In consideration of the youth and
experience of this prisoner I shall let
off with a fine of SSO ”
Before the judge had done speak
ing the very fresh young man very
coolly stretched his right leg and ran
his hand into his trousers’ pocket on
the side, remarking nonchalantly, as
he did so:
“That’s all hunky, Judge; I’ve got
that much right here in my jeans.”
“And one year in the penitentiary,”
continued the judge. Then, looking
over at the convict in a quizzical sort
of way, he added, “Do you happen
to have that in your jeans?”
Work Wins.
The great obstacle to success on ths
part of many boys and young men is
the lack of perseverance. They do
not stick to any study or pursuit leng
enough to become proficient in .it.
They are seeking an easy and short
road to success and honor.
Disappointed in their early dreams,
they soon lose hope and all ambition
and settle down to a commonplace
existence. Teachers are often
grieved at the carelessness of bright
boys and girls of the present day.
What is the verdict of history?
Have presidents, statesmen,and great
generals found an easy task to attain
their lofty positions? By no means.
Through poverty, hardships and suf
fering they worked their way to the
top and were never discouraged by
petty failures. Work made an Ed
ison and a Vanderbilt; persistence
made a Grant and a Lincoln; faith in
the right made a Paul and a Wash
ington. Let us be encouraged by
these noble examples, and remember
that “Work wins.”
President McKinley expects to
leave Washington in about ten days,
for a vacation of two or three weeks.
His present intention is to spend the
time at Senator Hanna’s winter home
at Thomasville, Ga.
Joe Bailey, of Texas, resigns the**
democratic leadership of the House
for the reason that bis party would'
not vote to unseat General Wheeler
because he held command in the
United States army. Bailey is young
and handsome and thinks so much of
himself that he hasn’t time to con
sider ir. what regard he may be held
by others.
General Wheeler will be given a
division in the Philippines, and will
be ordered there at an early date. It
is understood General Wheeler him
self prefers to go to Cuba, but the
president desires to send him to the
Philippines instead, where his states
manship will be as valuable as his
military experience.
Rattled at the Rat Tale.
Col. G. H. Fuller, the able and enter
prising General Auditor of the G. J. &
S. Railroad, has received the following
batch of suggestions anent the horrify
ing rat experience which he passed
through some time ago;
Mr. Geo. H. Fuller,
Gainesville, Ga.:
My Dear George: I lead with a keen
relish and with considerable amazement
the account of the wonderful feats of the
Green street rats as portrayed in the col
umns of the Eagle.
In all candor I must say that you are
an able-bodied rat-tale teller and that
you have some able-bodied rats in your
settlement.
Geewhiz! what strong rats you raise!
What do you diet them on?
I am fearful that they will turn over
your residence some night when you are
wrapt in slumber and 'kill you and you?
entire household.
Let me beg you to get rid of these rats
before they do something terrible.
I have read of snake and fish stories
galore, but this rat tale takes the cake in
a walk.
Like the Eagle, I would be very slow
to put in question your veracity, but on
extraordinary occasions like this I can
not gulp down this tale without a grain
of allowance.
In support of the truth of it you will
have to produce your affidavit, and it
corroborated by other evidence before I
will accept it as genuine and true.
Pardon me, please, for making a sug
gestion. You might use these rats for
motive power on the various railroads,
thereby saving a great deal of expense.
Consider the matter and let me know
what your conclusion is; and if you think
it advisable I will join you and we will
inaugurate a brand-new thing in the field
of invention.
Yours very sincerely,
L. D. Puckett.
Another Handsome Residence.
Dr. Bailey will this summer build one
of the handsomest residences in the city
on his vacant lot on the corner of Green
street and Seminary avenue. It will be
a duplicate of the house in which he
lives, except that it will be a wooden
building.
Several contractors are now figuring
on the plahi, and the Doctor does not
yet know who will get the job. It is not
probable that work will begin before the
middle of May.
The lot upon which this building is to
be erected is one of the prettiest and
most eligible in the city, and we are
glad to know that a handsome residence
is to be erected on it.
Tribute of Respect.

death of Mrs. B. Gardner we feel that
words are inadequate to express our re
gards for the lovely traits of character
that distinguished this well beloved and

who knew her, her presence was wel
comed wherever ghe was known, as all
recognized in her those qualities that
mark the type of a true and earnest
Christian woman.

SOME WEATHER.
Summer Saturday, Hurricane Saturday
Night, Snow Monday, Zero
Tuesday.
The city was visited by a terrific
storm at 10.15 o’clock last Saturday
night. The electrical display which
preceded the storm and which prac
tically lasted through it was the
grandest ever witnessed by even the
oldest of our citizens. It was a con
tinuous torchlight procession from
the horizon on up. Geo. Latbem,
G. D. Lay and others who were out
in it said that the electricity burned
their faces as though the atmospher*
was charged with fire.
The fury of the storm lasted only
a few minutes. The hail which fell
was large and it came thick and fast.
The storm traveled at the rate of
about eighty miles an hour.
On reaching the Hall county line
it took Brown’s bridge from its pil
lars and dashed it to pieces. This
bridge had stood the storms of a
quarter of a century and had never
been shaken. Property throughout
the county was badly damaged and
several houses were demolished. At
the edge of the city J. T. Boyd’s
barn was blown down and three cows
were drilled. Dr. Green’s barn at
bis home on Broad street was blown
away, but was lifted from over the
stock. The roof of the Council
Chamber, over R. D. Mitchell &
Son’s market, was blown off and car
ried in midair across the street, strik
ing a large cedar telegraph pole,
snapping it in two as though it were
a reed. A hole was torn in the roof
of the Dean building and the Masonic
hall was flooded with water. J. T.
Hargrove’s gin house was almost
completely demolished. The rear
end of the warehouse on W. Spring
street, used by the city to store the
fire J apparatus and for stable pur
poses, was blown in, but no damage
done to the city’s property. Trees,
fences and small outhouses were
blown down and in this way nearly
every one suffered some loss. The
weather vane on the Presbyterian
church was blown off. East Side
Mission, on E. Spring street, was
badly damaged, while Oak Street
Mission was completely demolished.
The wreck of the latter is so com
plete that only a very small portion
of the timbers will be fit to use in
the erection of a new church.
This storm seems to have been not
a cyclone, but a hurricane, and cov
ered a large scope of country, being
particularly severe in parts of East
Tennessee, almost totally destroying
the town of Madisonville, killing sev
eral persons and wounding a large
number. The hail seems to have
been a part of the storm in all parts.
Jn--Atlanta the hailstones were 7
“inches in circumference, many of
them.
In Toccoa several houses were
blown down, two of them being large
business bouses, and a woman was
killed.
The storm was very severe in parts
of Walton and Jackson counties.
On Saturday afternoon the tem
perature was 76. On Tuesday morn
ing it was 7. A fall in 56 hours of
69 degrees. And yet the croakers
say we can’t get anywhere in the
way of climate. The grand elec
trical display of Saturday night was
caused by the meeting of intensely
warm and cold currents and the
attempt of nature to effect an equilib
rium. It did it, although in
doing so it came near pushing over
the country. The weather these
times is no one-horse affair. We
have more respect for it than we
used to have. We can’t say we
admire it much, but we readily con
cede its ability.
That inevitable citizen, the weather
critic, who always says, “I never saw
such a spell” has been in his glory
since this little flurry began some
eight months ago. No one has
arisen to say him nay. That obsti
nate Oldest Inhabitant, who could
put to soak the ebullient feelings of
the critic by an oracular reference to
the year eighteen hundred and some
thing, has been robbed of bis ammu
nition and his guns spiked effect
ually. Even Dr. Fowler, with his
profound store of philosophy and
reminiscent fact, has nothing to say,
and is now awaiting the full returns.
Dave Johnson, who has been around
here ever since the first new-ground
was cleared, and has seen a heap of
things and beard tell of a heap more,
says the whole shebang slipped his
bold and got away from him away
before Christmas.
Yes, sir, the festive weather critic,
with bis “bow doss this suit you?”
has it all his own way, for indeed
no one ever before saw such weather.
Not since the days of Noah has the
weather ever before established an
original record and permanent stop-
where the Oldest Inhabi
tant was compelled to rub out and
begin it all over again.
And it isn’t through with yet.

C. R. Stringer will erect a new brick
building 22%x40 feet on his lot adjoining
the Lizzie Carroll property on East
Washingtou street. Dirt has already
been broken and the bricks are being
placed on the grounds.
J. H. Hunt contemplates building on
his lot which joins Mr. Stringer’s, lying
between it and Dr. Ryder’s dental office.
Miss Lizzie Carroll also contemplates
removing the wooden structure on her
lot and building a brick store on it. It
is highly probable that she will do this,
and within the next few months one may
expect to see a solid brick row of build
ings on E. Washington street, from the
corner at Hunt’s bank to Dr. Ryder’s
office.

The official report shows that Tuesday
in Atlanta was 10 degrees colder than it
has been in March for twenty years past.
At Atlanta the mercury went down to 7
degrees. The next coldest day to this
was March 19th, 1892, when it ran down
to 17. According to the best local ther
mometers here it was one degree colder
at Gainesville than at Atlanta. One
extremely singular thing is that the ther
mometers made their lowest record about
9 o’clock a. m., the cold wave having
increased in severity after sun-up, when
heretofore about 6:30 has been consid
ered as the best time to get the lowest
record.

attempt to get a little sleep is on the
down grade to nervous prostration, in
sanity and death. There is no time then
to experiment with new and untried rem
edies. Neglect or delay in this respect
may prove a fatal mistake.
Dr. Miles’ Nervine is the best of all
medicines for the nervous, tired out and
sleepless victim of the grip, just as it is
the best remedy for all other weaknesses
and disorders of the nervous system. It
attacks the minute germs of impurity
clustered in the blood and thoroughly
routs them out of every hidden corner of
the body.
“I was extremely nervous and although
I doctored with several physicians I could
not gain strength. My nerves became so
completely unstrung that I could scarcely
sleep at all, and I thought I should surely
die. I began taking Dr. Miles’ Nervine
and in less than a week I was feeling
very much better. After taking six bot
tles I was completely restored to health.”
C. E. Hackett, Greene, N. Y.

Paintings that Breathed.
The entertainment given by the Senior
Class of the Seminary, under the direc
tion of the Department of expression,
last Friday evening was of high order
and duly appreciated by a large audience.
The tableaux introduced as a means
of reproducing famous pictures were
excellent. The reproductions were splen
did, almost perfect. Then, too, they bad
the life-like animated appearance which
gave them a charm that no painting can
possess.
Great artists of the past will live in
history and this work will be an inspira
tion to those following them, but bow
ever much expression the master painter
may give to his portraits all paintings
will ever lack real animation.
The striking resemblance of these
tableax to the original paintings they
represented, and their natural living
appearance, made each scene superb
indeed, and many were the times that
the encore was so prolonged that the
scenes were given again.
The music, which was under tjie direc
tion of Prof. Wallace, added much to the
pleasure of the entertainment.
I have been afflicted with rheumatism
for fourteen years and nothing seem< d
to give any relief. I was able to be
around all the time, but constantly suf
fering. I had tried everything I could
hear of and at last was told to try Cham
berlain’s Pain Balm, which I did, and
was immediately relieved and in a short
time cured. lam happy to say that it
has not since returned. —Josh. Edgar,

An Excellent Combination.
The pleasant method and beneficial
effects of the well known remedy,
Syrup of Figs, manufactured by the
California Fig Syrup Co., illustrate
the value of obtaining the liquid laxa
tive principles of plants known to be
medicinally laxative and presenting
them in the form most refreshing to the
taste and acceptable to the system. It
is the one perfect strengthening laxa
tive, cleansing the system effectually,
dispelling colds, headaches and fevers
gently yet promptly and enabling one
to overcome habitual constipation per
manently Its perfect freedom from
ev>y objectionable quality and sub
stance, and its acting on the kidneys,
liver and bowels, without weakening
or irritating them, make it the ideal
laxative.
Irf the processor manufacturing figs
are used, as they are pleasant to the
taste, but the medicinal qualities of the
remedy are obtained from senna and
other aromatic plants, by a method
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only. In order to get its beneficial
effects and to avoid imitations, please
remember the full name of the Company
printed on the front of every package.
