H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, March 9. 1899. 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. The Daughters of the Confederacy met March 3rd and the following resolutions were unanimously adopted: Whereas we have met to perform one of the saddest duties that have fallen upon us; be it Resolved, Ist, That in announcing the 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 widely known lady, who was an esteemed member of our chapter. Beloved by all 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. Resolved, 2nd, That we extend to her bereaved family our sincere sympathy in this time of sorrow, that a copy of these resolutions be sent to them and also be published in the city papers.

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. U. R. K. P. Uniform Rank Knights of Pythias at their last Meeting organized with the following officers: W. B. Smith, Captain; L. P. Canning, Ist Lieut.; H. M.

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.

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. Rev. E. Edwards, pastor of the English Baptist church at Minersville, Pa., when suffering with rheumatism, was advised to try Chamberlain’s Pain Balm. He says: “A few applications of this lini ment proved of great service to me. It subdued the inflammation and relieved the pain. Should any sufferer profit by giving Pain Balm a trial it will please me.” For sale by M. C. Brown & Co. Will Build Again. Mrs. John F. Little has let a contract to Jno. A.

When grip attacks a person of nervous temperament there is usually a great de pression of spirits, the patient is plunged in despair, and no amount of argument or raillery has any effect on bis misery. The man or woman whose nerves become so shattered that it is a torture to remain in bed, and the night is passed in a vain 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.

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.
