GOOD ROADS.
The condition of the public roads
in Hall county during the last three
months convinces any one that we
ought to look to the betterment of
said roads at the earliest possible
moment. The present system of
working our roads promises nothing
better in the future than we now
have. As all the bridges in the
county are free, which means that
no great amount of money will be
spent in this direction, would it not
be wise to turn our attention to good
roadt-? Our legislature has provided
a law by which the roads can be
worked by taxation. It can be found
in Acts of 1890-91, vol. 1, page 135.
This law provides that our commis
sioners shall have the power and
authority to lay out, open, change
and discontinue public roads in the
county, and the sole management of
the working of said roads ; and said
authorities shall have the right to
appoint superintendent, overseers,
guards, and officers, and fix terms of
office and prescribe compensation.
Each male citizen between the ages
of sixteen and fifty shall be subject
to road duty. The commissioners
shall fix and levy a tax, additional
to any now authorized by law, of
not more than two-tenths of one per
cent, on all taxable property of the
county, and a commutation or road
tax not exceeding $5 in any one year.
This money shall be known as “pub
lic road fund,” and be used for work
ing, improving, and repairing the
public roads.
The commissioners may work a
chaingaug, free hired laber, or those
who do not pay a commutation tax.
Any one subject to road duty has
the privilege of working out his time
on the roads instead of paying the
commutation tax.
The commissioners will have
authority to purchase machinery, im
plements, tools, wagons, and stock
necessary for working the roads, and
build houses or stockades for pris
oners. If any one fails to pay his
commutation tax or work on the
roads, then a trial becomes necessary,
which is fully provided for in the
law. For this law to become oper
ative any grand jury can recommend
its adoption, and when put in force
it must be tried for three years before
it can be abolished. Altogether it
is a very good law.
Hereafter we will try to show the
necessity and benefit of good roads.
OUR BILL-IARY ADVERSARY.
Our Bill-iary friend, “Democrat,”
is still hammering away on us through
his organ, the Cracker. If it is giv
ing him relief we say, pump away.
Nothing is so soothing and satisfying
to him as for some misguided news
paper to give him a chance to air
himself.
In his effort in last week’s issue
of his organ he scatters more than
usual and scarcely succeeds in run
ning against the truth at any partic
ular point. He says that in our
article some time ago we admit every
thing he had said in his first article,
when in fact we took issue with him
on every one of his propositions.
He says we carried the banner of
Speer in 1880, when in fact we voted
for Hon. N. J. Hammond for Con
gress in 1880.
He says Speer secured us a position
in the Government printing office,
when in fact Speer did not secure
said situation, nor did he have any
thing to do with it.
He says we did not support the
Democratic nominee in 1890, when
in fact we supported Col. Winn, the
nominee, through our paper and
voted for him at the polls.
And now our Bill-iary friend runs
up on something that he appears not
to be certain of—that is, whether or
not we got pay for printing gold bug
literature during the Bryan cam
paign. We can’t understand why
he doesn’t know about this as well
as the other facts which we have
mentioned He ought to be able to
get around a little thing like not
knowing.
We will relieve him by telling him
that we in fact did not receive pay.
The stuff was the solid and everlast
ing truth and we published it with
out asking pay. Had we been offered
a little donation we would gladly
have accepted it. We have known
ministers to accept pay for preaching
the Gospel and no one thought there
was anything wrong about it.
But our Bill-iary friend tells the
truth twice in his last epistle. He
says we were boycotted by the
Alliance and that we went to Texas.
It seems as though every one we get
into a controversy with throws it up
to us about going to Texas. But
there is one redeeming feature about
our going to Texas : We came back.
Yes, and we were boycotted by the
Farmers’ Alliance, at a time when
you couldn’t fire a gun into the
woods without bitting a truckling
Democratic coward. What would
“Democrat” have done if he had
been publishing a newspaper then,
when the waves of blind, unreasoning
fanaticism were beating upon the
front door of his office? “Stood in
with ’em, d—n ’em,” wouldn’t he,
as other papers did, and as we were
advised to do by men high in the
Democratic councils to-day?
If there is anything in this world
in a political way that we have
always been proud of it is that Al
liance boycott. We have always
regarded it as a decoration of honor
—a testimonial that we stood up for
the right when the right needed
defenders and when others were
running for their cyclone cellars.
We told the members of the Al
liance that the day they entered pol
itics as an organization their disin
tegration would begin. For this we
were boycotted. We told them that
the day they entered politics as an
order on that day the formation of
a third party would begin. When
they stole the livery of Democracy
and went through the mockery of
making a Democratic nomination we
denounced it. For this we were
boycotted.
We all see now bow it turned out.
And to-day when you come to count
noses it is pretty hard to find a man
who wasn’t “agin ’em all the time.”
As to reading us out of the Dem
ocratic party, that is only a lot of
imbecility on the part of “Democrat.”
He is not the Reading Clerk of the
party. He is only a cheap and use
less camp-follower—a Jonah, in fact,
for he hoodoos eyery person or cause
that be becomes attached to. If
there were enough of him to go round
and we would join the Gold Bugs,
Bryan’s cause might have a chance.
And now we wish to ask our Bill
iary friend if he voted for Tom Winn
in 1890. And please tell us what
you would have done in 1896 if John
G. Carlisle had been nominated for
President and you had been running
a paper.
ANOTHER ONE OF THEM.
Among the conglomerate assort
ment of “Another One of Thems”
that are editing the Cracker we rec
ognize a hebetudinous hebdomidal
crank with a mania for writing
hogwash poetry. He tried some of
it on us once and it would easily
make a buzzard throw-up. We
selected a couple of these poems
whose imbecility, if possible, was
more rampant than that of the others,
and published them. We did this
because we had never seen their
equal. Their attrocious and excruti
ating flea-bittenness raised them to
the plane of an unparalleled and
uncontested eminence. Kipling never
wrote anything like them. He
couldn’t, to save his life.
We are glad that this particular
one of the “Another One of Thems”
has become annexed to the Cracker’s
able editorial corpse. We may now
expect some intellectual pabulum
that will take the dub-edge off the
dull neutralities of life.
GETTING MONOTONOUS,
For the past month there has been
scarcely anything in our North Geor
gia exchanges except the Constitu
tion’s two-column “missing-word con
test” and B-flat Perry’s appointment
as fertilizer inspector. We want a
rest, but will say right here that we
think Brother Perry has struck his
talent. He has been tending toward
something of this kind for some time,
and we are glad that fruition and
adaptability have at last so happily
met.
As for the Constitution, we are so
glad it doesn’t exchange with u«, so
we don’t have to give it this extra
fifty dollars’ worth of advertising
space to boot. When it cut us off
last summer for saying Candler’s
victory appeared all the more re
markable considering that paper’s
support of him we thought some
good would finally come of it, and
we sat down to wait for the silver
lining to the cloud or the green grass
under the snow. And now we see
it. “All things come to him who
waits.” “11l blows the wind that
profits nobody.”
HAD FORGOTTEN SOMETHING.
In just two more years President
McKinley’s successor will be inau
gurated. but no man kwows who he
will be. It may be McKinley him
self elected again; or it may be that
there will come a revulsion of feeling
against the administration’s war pol
icy or a kick against the high taxes,
and elect somebody else.—Pickens
County Herald.
But what about the free silver
issue ? Aren’t we going to win on
that ?
CONDUCT OF NEGRO TROOPS.
The conduct of the negro troops
mustered out of service in firing
their pistols from the trains and com
mitting other disorders is highly dis
creditable to the race. We think the
negro has demonstrated bis unfitness
for service in the army, and espec
ially as volunteer troops under
colored officers. The comparatively
few negro volunteers have given the
country more trouble than all the
white troops combined.
The negro was given a fair chance
to demonstrate bis fitness for the
duties of a soldier, it being thought
especially desirable to have negro
troops for duty in Cuba, as it was
believed they would stand the cli
mate there better than the white
troops. The disgraceful conduct of
the few negroes sent to Cuba after
the war with Spain bad ended on the
island so discouraged the war
department that it apparently aban
doned its original intention of send
ing a large number of negro troops
there for police duty. This aation
was wise, and doubtless prevented a
great deal of trouble. The Cubans
do not seem to like the American
negroes, realizing that negro troops
would be a constant source of
trouble and danger on the island.
The conduct of the negro troops
on so many occasions in this country
has been so disgraceful that the war
department will hardly accept many
negroes as troops in future.
WE FOOT THE BILLS.
Under the provisions of the sev
enth article of the peace treaty with
Spain, which stipulates that the
United States shall adjudicate and
settle the claims of its citizens against
Spain, growing out of the insurrec
tion in Cuba, there have so far been
filed with the Department of State
claims aggregating nearly >30,000,-
000. President Cleveland, in the
closing days of his second adminis
tration, sent to the Senate a list of
claims filed up to that time, aggre
gating in round numbers >10,000,000.
A list of the claims which bad been
filed since then was sent to the Sen
ate by President McKinley at the
end of the session just closed. These
foot up some >20,000,000, not in
cluding three claims where the
recompense is not named.
BUSINESS NEVER BETTER.
The situation is without precedent.
Business has never been better on
the whole, and in some great indus
tries the gain is astonishing. Exports
surpass imports as much as last year,
though the excess over imports
then was heavy. Failures are smaller
than last year, and smaller than in
either of the six years past. Stocks
are stronger, the average for the
active railway .'•> a
little higher, and for*-u-JL<« much
more owing to the extraordinary ad
vance of >48.75 in tobacco. Pay
ments through exchanges show a
greater volume of business than ever
before at this season, and nearly one
half larger than in the best of pre
vious years. The outgo of bread
stuffs and cotton continues heavy.
But there are some who fear that
such prosperity cannot last.—Dun’s
Review.
ORANGES KILLED.
The most reliable reports from
Florida are to the effect that the
orange trees have been generally
killed to the ground and that the
same thing is true as to lemons, limes,
bananas and guavas. It will be
many years before a full crop will
again be gathered. The devices for
protecting the trees from frost have
ail proved inefficient and many per
sons believe that there has been an
actual change in the climate. This,
however, is energetically disputed.
But it is the long wait of five years
for the trees to become bearing again,
even without another frost, that has
disheartened so many of the growers.
STRENGTH OF THE MORMONS.
It seems that the Mormon church
is gaining new converts. The census
of 1890 showed 1,058 Mormon com
municants in Nebraska, 1,106 in
Kansas, 1,336 in Wyoming, 1,396 in
California, 1,540 in Michigan, 1,762
in Colorado, 5,303 in lowa, 6,500 in
Arizona, 14,972 in Idaho. In Utah
the Mormons are about three-fifths
of the entire population, which is
about 280,000. The church has
1,700 missionaries out, and last year
reported 63,000 converts. It con
trols Utah and exerts a strong polit
ical influence in Idaho, Wyoming and
Arizona. A minority of the church
opposes polygamy, but this institu
tion is said to be still maintained by
the majority.
A syndicate with a capital of >l,-
000,000 has been formed for the pur
pose of developing industries in the
Philippines. The syndicate will
build railroads, deal in lumber and
timber, and engage in agricultural
and manufacturing pursuits. Cooley
labor is plentiful, and extremely
cheap in the Philippines, hence the
syndicate will probably make money
in sugar, rice, and, possibly, cotton
growing.
Some enterprising statistician says
to fly lays four times each summer
and 300 eggs each time. The
descendants of one female fly in a
single season may number 2,080,320.

but we have seen the time when we
were willing to believe it.

A Bucking Bicycle.
Tuesday night the city electric light
wires and those from W. H. Summer’s
private plant became crossed in front of
the Council Chamber and as a result the
corrugated iron awnings and posts in
front of Moore Bros.’ and Will Summer’s
stores were charged with electricity from
the wires which contained the combined
current from both plants. This was first"
discovered about 8 o’clock, when Walter
Ham went to enter his buggy in fronf of
the latter’s store. The ground was wet
aud to avoid stepping on it he put his
foot on the buggy step and caught the
iron awning post. When he grasped the
post be fell broadside in the mud. He
was soon on bis feet again and though
be had been rendered unconscious and
felt the effects of the terrible shock, he
was not badly hurt.
Mr. Summer told Gus McCrary, col
ored, to take his wheel, which was lean
ing against the same post, to his bicycle
room. Gus caught the handles of the
wheel and he and the machine were
hurled into the street. As Gus fell he
carried the wheel with him. Both were
covered with mud.
It was then discovered that both awn
ings were charged. Will Summer then
put his wheel back against the awning
post and offered a free ride to any stray
coon who would without turn
tdfs "it loose or sassing. Several tried it
and as many made their bodily acquain
tance with terre Anna. The wheel was
soon denominated the bucking wheel.
Mr. Summer would insist that it must
rest after it threw a man and would
again lean it up against the post. No
would-be-rider would tell how be felt,
hence all of the colored wheelmen who
stood by wanted a chance to ride “dat
buckin’ wheel.” All struck the ground
alike.
Yesterday morning the wires were
thoroughly insulated.
May be Mistaken.
Painting your house or any of the out
buildings anew may not be the expensive
matter that you imagine—you may have
an exaggerated idea of the cost. Better
come in and talk it over with us. It’s
always good economy to protect your
building with best of paint.
Best of paint here means no higher
prices—no greater cost. Light margins
with us means low prices for you—that’s
why it’s the place for economical people
to buy paint.

An Old Citizen Gone.
E. S. Wiley died this morning at 5:30
o’clock at his.home on S. Bradford street
at the age of 59 years. Hi 3 death resulted
from Bright’s disease and he had been
seriously ill but a few days.
Mr. Wiley was the truest type of a
Christian gentleman and to know him
was all that was necessary to find this
out. He had been a devoted member of
the First Methodist here from the time
he came to the city from Gwinnett
county in 1871. After coming here he
became one of the most prominent bus
iness men of the city for a term of 23
years, when he sold out to H. J. Brandon
in 1891.
Mr. Wiley leaves a wife, formerly Miss
Alice Brandon, a number of relatives and
hundreds of friends.
The funeial service will occur at the
Methodist church to-morrow at 11
o’clock a. m.

Hard on Bridges.
The freshet Tuesday night did consid
erable damage throughout the county.
Some streams were reported higher yes
terday than they had ever before been.
Indian Ford bridge, across the Oconee
river, which has stood far above the
water for a number of years, was com
pletely washed away.
The bridge across Chandler creek, near
Gillsville, and abridge across a tributary
to the river near Oconee Mills, were also
swept away.
It is supposed that the timbers of the
latter bridge can be saved and used in its
reconstruction.
These reports came in yesterday after
noon. It was then thought that the
water would continue to rise until night
and that other similar news will come
in this afternoon.
As yet the damage done to public
property cannot be estimated.
At noon yesterday the Oconee River
was reported 18 or 20 inches higher than
all previous high-water marks.

A Male High Schjol.
Rev. J. A. Bell has leased the Pied
uJont hotel for a term of years. It is
his purpose to establish a high school
for young men and prepare them for col
lege work. That is his plan now, but
within a few years he expects to estab
lish a male college which will go band
in hand with the Georgia Female Sem
inary and stand as high in the
educational world.
The brother and the sister can then
come to the same city to take their
collegiate course and one college in this
way will prove a great advantage to the
other. And by its establishment here,
Gainesville will become the recognized
seat of learning for the state. Mr. Be 11
says that while traveling last year in the
interest of the Seminary he found many
families who wanted to send their girls
to the Seminary but also wanted to send
a son off to college and did not want to
send them in different directions. And
while discussing this matter he was often
asked why a similar institution of learn
ing for young men was not established
here so that the boy and girl could leave
home side by side to finish their educa
tion in a distant town and be together.
Mr. Bell has begun work with an
energy which means success. Ofcouise
he desires a public meeting where he can
come face to face with the people of the
city. An educational rally should be
held at an early date. The large audience
tbat'greeted Dr. Boggs last Friday night
is an evidence that our people are
intensely interested in college education.
The interest our people have ever man
ifested in anything looking toward
educational advancement, whether to be
conducted as public or private enterprise,
is the highest evidence that they are
always ready to hold an educational
rally, and with such a population, and
Wjith our past record to speak for itself,
can anyone doubt that Gainesville is des
tined to become an educational center?
Let us hold a rally. Talk it up. Get
ready for it. Those willing to risk their
time and money are at hand to enter the
movement to found a male college here.
Mr. Bell has already moved to the
Piedmont and will superintend the work
to be done on the building, while it is
being converted into a structure suited
to the purposes for which he has leased
it. He expects to open the school about
September next. Let nothing stand in
the way of the establishment of such an
institution.
Story of a Slave.
To be bound hand and foot foryeais
by the chains of disease is the worst form
of slavery. George D. Williams of Man
chester, Mich., tells how such a slave
was made free. He says: “My wife has
been so helpless for five years that she
could not turn over in bed alone. After
using two bottles of Electric Bitters, she
is wonderfully improved and able to do
her own work.” This supreme remedy
for female diseases quickly cures ner
vousness, sleeplessness, melancholy,
headache, backache, fainting and dizzy
spells. This miracle working medicine
is a godsend to weak, sickly, run down
people. Every bottle guaranteed. Only
50 cents. Sold by M. C. Brown & Co.,

One by One They Cross Over.
God, in his infinito wisdom, saw fit to
take from our home, on the 6th day of
March, 1899, our precious darling lister
Minnie, the light and sunshine of our
home; but Oh! how to have to part with
such a dear one; but one by one they
cross over, and sooner or later we must
all go, and if we could just be ready, like
she was! She leaned her head on Jesus’
breast and breathed her life out sweetly
there, without a groan—just peacefully
left this sinful world without a blot, not
knowing of the sin nor the trouble of
this world. It is our loss but Heaven’s
gain. It was just a little light went out
of our home to shine around the great
white throne in Heaven.
That dreadful disease, membranous
croup, was the cause of her death. But
she has gone where there is no suffering,
and she won’t have to struggle for
breath any more, like she did about 36
hours before that dreadful summons.
But Oh! how we miss her! we are so
lonely without her. Her smiling face,
her gentle voice, are seen and heard no
more here. And all we can do is to live
better in the future and prepare our
selves to meet her in Heaven.
She was nearly three years old.
Mr. George Brown conducted the ser
vices from our home, and then her little
precious lifeless form was laid to rest in
Pleasant Hill cemetery, no more on
earth to shine.

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plainfield, 111.,
makes the statement that she caught
cold, which settled on her lungs; she
was treated for a month by her family
physician, but grew worse. He told her
she was a hopeless victim of consump
tion and that no medicine could cure
her. Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s
New Discovery for Consumption; she
bought a bottle and to her delight found

Hanging Postponed.
Cassius Law was granted a respite of
two weeks by Governor Candler Monday
and therefore he did not hang yesterday.
The date now set for his execution is
Wednesday, March 29th. It was made
to appear to the Governor that the negro
was hardly morrally responsible for the
crime he committed and as the prison
commission was not at band the respite
was granted so that the matter could be
brought before them.
It is argued that justice will be sat
isfied if Law’s sentence is commuted to
life imprisonment.
He seamed to appreciate his respite.
All Want to Come-
The Southern Bible Association, which
is composed of some of the ablest men

tauqua will prove a drawing card for the
season, as this is the second great
organization that wants to meet in this
city during the next Chautauqua season

The itching r.nd burning I suffered in my feel

they were worse, and would keep me awake a
greater part of the night. I consulted doctor after
doctor. None knew what the trouble was. I
concluded I would have to go to a Cincinnati
hoepital before I would get relief. My wife
finally prevailed upon me to try Cuticuka reme

and it is a permanent cure. I feel like kicking
some doctor or myself for suffering three years.
