Official Organ of Hall County. Official Organ of White County. Official Organ of the City of Gainesville. W. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, March 16. 1899. 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. We are not going to figure it out* but we have seen the time when we were willing to believe it. MISS WILKINS’ NEW book. In April Miss Mary E. Wilkins’ latest story, “The Jamesons in the Country,” which is now running serially in The Ladies’ Home Jour nal, will be published in book form by the Doubleday & McClure Com pany of New York. After Miss Drescher’s first concert at the Chicago Auditorium a critic wrote the following: Another great violinist has arisen to claim the attention of the musical world. Hear her at auditorium March 23d. The Georgia railway commission will appeal from the decision of Judge Emory Speer to the effect that the commission has no right to re quire the Southern Express Company to pay the coat of revenue stamps. COUNCIL PROCEEDINGS. Council Chamber, Feb. 22, 1899. The Council met in regular session, Mayor Gaston presiding. Aidermen Castleberry, Hubbard, Little, Hudson, Hynds and Webb present. Minutes of preceding meeting read and adopted. Mayor Gaston vacated the chair and appeal case, City vs. Abe Barksdale, con victed of keeping for the purpose of ille gal sale spirituous, malt, or intoxicating liquors, was called and tried by the Council, and the mayor’s decision in said case was sustained, Mayor pro tern C. S. Webb presiding. Mayor Gaston resumed the chair. Committee on Watei and Lights was granted further time to report on loca tion of lamp on Oak street. Committee on Public Property reported that they had purchased the land of Jno. A. Smith as directed for the purpose of opening new street. On motion the water and light com mittee was instructed to look into the extension of the water main on West Bread street, and report the probable distance necessary and the cost of same. Account of Eberhart & Co., coal, >8 30, approved by the finance committee, was ordered paid. No other business, Council adjourned. J. B. Gaston, Mayor. G. P. Boone, Clerk. 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. John F. Little Drug Co. 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. The Modern Way Commends itself to the well-informed, to do pleasantly and effectually what was formerly done in the crudest manner and disagreeably as well. To cleanse the sys tem and break up colds, headaches, and fevers without unpleasant after effects, use the delightful liquid laxative remedy, Syrup of Figs. Made by California Fig Syrup Co. 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. THE MILLINERY OPENING For the Spring Season of the J. E. Murphy Co., will occur on Monday, Tuesday and Wednes day, March 27th, 28th and 29th, 1899. Everybody cordially in vited to call and examine our beautiful line of French Pattern and Trimmed Hats. 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., druggists. BLACKJACK.

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. Her Sister, Laura Wingo. 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 herself benefited from first dose. She continued its use and after taking six bottles, found herself sound and well; now does her own housework, and is as well as she ever was. Free trial bottles of this Great Discovery at M. C. Brown & Co.’s drug store. Only 50 cents and $1; every bottle guaranteed. lu , Wuar shall we no* 1 ■■ 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.
