The Gainesville Eagle. Entered at the Gainesville Postoffice as •Second-class mail matter. Official Organ of Hall County. W. H. CRAIG, . Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, April 5, 1900. THE NIGGER IN THE WOODPILE. Ever since the State Executive Committee made the remarkable in novation of demanding a re-registra tion as a qualification for voting in the remarkably early primary of May 15th we have been trying to make out what was the “nigger in the woodpile.” There must needs be a nigger in the woodpile in this case, for the remarkable action of the State Com mittee cannot be explained on any other hypothesis. Whatever was the motive that impelled the com mittee to over-ride reason and run away with precedent will probably never be fully known. Perhaps many considerations entered into the matter; but we think now that a couple of candidates for solicitors general had something to do with it —that is to say, Mr. Osborne, who lives in Savannah, and Mr. Ham mond, whculiyes in Augusta. Both these gentraoien were very anxious to have a handicap put upon the country people of their circuits in the matter of registration, knowing full well they could get their city constituents duly registered, and they could count on thesp to stand by them. These candidates had strong friends on the committee, who could use their influence on other members who could be easily inveigled, for it must be remem bered that on executive committees as well as elsewhere there are always to be found negative minds that can be dominated by others while not suspecting harm. There were at the Kimball House before the committee met, and while it was in session, those who knew that a great mistake was about to be mado, and did all they could to prevent it. Among those who earn estly urged that no new registration be required, but that the primary be held under the general law as amen ded by the Act of 1897, was Gov ernor Candler, who even went so far as to prepare a substitute and send to the committee providing that— “ All white democratic voters who were registered and qualified to vote in the general election of 1898, and also all white democratic voters who wejje not registered in 1898, but who being otherwise qualified, reg ister at any time prior to ten days before the date of the primary here by provided for, shall be given an opportunity to cast their votes for Governor, Secretary of State, etc.” It is understood that a large minority of the committee favored the Governor’s substitute and that it was rejected by a few votes. Thus two things are made clearly to appear: first that the rule requir ing registration to vote in the pri mary was adopted only by a scratch, and secondly that the Governor, always for fair play, was opposed to the innovation. When a State Executive Commit tee meets to transact business for the party it is an unfailing custom to consult with the Governor as to whether he has anything in the way of party policy to suggest. This was done in this instance, and the Governor’s suggestion to give the farmers a fair chance to vote in the primary was directly ignored. But the thing is done, and it amounts to almost an outrage on our honored chief executive, who has made one of the best and most pop ular Governors Georgia has ever had; for while his vote at the pri mary must needs be extremely meagre on account of the restric tions put upon the farmer vote, it would assume the proportions of a rousing and enthusiastic endorse ment if a full expression of the peo ple could be taken. We don’t think we have ever wit nessed so much mud-headed sophis try as is being employed in defense of the illogical and untenable posi tion taken by the sponsors for the very unusual action of the executive committee—all of which tends to thicken the atmosphere of caproic acid that envelops the woodpile. There is only one question in volved in the matter, and that is a plain one, namely, the qualification of a voter at a certain date. The law says a man who registered in 1898 is qualified to vote at all times up to the day before the October election of 1900, in the selection of any officer from Governor down. Then, in the name of heaven, why is he not qualified to vote in any primary election held for the put ting of candidates in the field during this same period of time. Bear*n mind, it is a question of qualifica tion of the voter. All this talk about “constituting a new electorate which is to make itself effective at the October election” is simply * a tawdry sentiment, a wormy ideal, a contravention of the law and the voter’s unquestionable right. But now as to us locally, let the county executive committee do its duty by the toilers in the fields and give them ample time to register, and give the new candidates a fair chance to get before the people. Let it not be to the discredit of the committee that they perpetuate the sin of the State committee. BLIND TIGERS. Some wise ptople believe that the illicit sale of whisky cannot be en tirely suppressed. Are they right? If we, the people, continue to fight with increased vigor, and the pen alty for violation is made heavy enough, which thing we want and expect, then the last blind tiger will soon disappear. No whisky can be sold if you keep the people awake, and turn on the light. We all went to sleep in Gainesville. Took a Rip Van Winkle nap, and awoke with sur prise to find that things had gone wrong. It is surprising how quickly peo ple find out what is going on. The penalties that have already been im posed, and the prosecutions that will come up in our next courts, will have a wholesome effect. A man is more effectual as a pro hibition worker after liquor has had its blasting hands upon him. Shall any one that sees this article wait to sacrifice a boy* before beginning to do something? What is a blind tiger? One that cannot see? No; not that. It is one that cannot be seen. It is like a carbuncle on the small of your back. You cannot see the thing, but you know it’s there. It hurts, too, and does much harm. If it were possible for a good man to engage in the illicit sale of whisky the work would soon make him bad. We ought not to suffer our people to do things that undermine char acter. Stop a man from selling whisky and he will either go to" work at some legitimate business or leave town. If one man leaves town because law is enforced, a bet ter man will take his place. Then it will bedtime to sing “welcome the coming and speed the parting guest.” I understand that our new cotton factory will not employ drinking men at all. Though they will likely taks new converts on probation. How-difficult it is to find a position for a drinking man! This is be cause the world is getting wiser and better. A. A. Tilly. WHY NOT HAVE (T. circuit courts/in GAINESVILITf* Mr. Editor: We have been try ing for several years to secure an appropriation of one or two hundred thousand dollars for the erection of government buildings in our city, but without success. It has often occurred to me that we should come at the thing a little differently, for while we have nothing in the way of government offices here but a postoftice,we are not likely to secure the appropriation. We ought to devote our efforts first to having the United States Court held here twice a year and the benefits resulting from that to the U. S. government as well as to the people would be so manifest that the erection of public buildings would soon follow. The saving to the U. S. government of the vast amount paid annually for mileage from this city to Atlanta to U. S. marshals and their prisoners, guards, and witnesses would in a few years amount to enough to pay for the government building. And, then, think of the immense saving to the people of Northeast Georgia in relieving them from the cqgt of travel by railroad fififey-thrtflMl| from here to Atlanta in apjrearing before that court and carrying their witnesses there at their own cost. It would be an immense saving to the people as well as to the govern ment. Good and convincing grounds for the holding of a court here twice a year can be shown, and anything like an earnest effort by the people of our city would secure it. lam ready and willing to do all in my power to accomplish it, for it would be worth a great deal to our grow ing city. Very respectfully, Henry P. Farrow. Gainesville, April 2nd. Near Stuart, in Patrick county, Va., at the foot of a spur of the Blue Ridge mountains, there is an apple tree which measures nine feet five inches around. Five feet from the ground are four branches, the largest being six feet around, the next five feet, the smallest four feet five inches. The tree is fifty-two feet high and seventy-one feet broad. Although it is about sev enty years old, it bore last year a very large crop. It has been known to produce 110 bushels in a season, and, as might be supposed, the soil in which it grows is exceedingly rich. Mr. H. B. Smith of Gainesville was the moving spirit in inducing capitalists and manufacturers to con struct a million dollar factory’ at that place.—Savannah Press. Mr. John H. Montgomery, pres ident of the Pacolet company, w'hich is to construct the >1,000,000 cot ton mill at Gainesville in this state, is a hustler. He is president of the Sparta mills at Spartanburg and the Vesper mills at Charleston and the combined capital of the factory companies over which he presides is >3,000,000. This shows, to a cer tain extent, the magnitude of the cotton manufacturing interests of a few men who see the wonderful resources of South Carolina and Georgia.—Savannah Press. Do not permit the children to form the habit of disputing and quarreling with each other. It may be prevented, like other bad habits, by watchfulness, particularly if the training is begun when the children are very young. Separation is best punishment, breaking up the play and taking away the cause of the dispute. Children are social beings and do not like to play alone. They dislike solitude, and if they find it is invariably the result of quarreling they will take pains to be more amiable so as not to be forced into it.—April Ladies’ Home Journal. American freedom of thought or action was never intended to be con strued into license. Yet, so far as our marpage laws are concerned, that is precisely the direction in which freedom is tending. We are horrified at the thought of free love; we go into spasms of .virtuous in dignation over free divorce; we frown down mightily upon Mor monism. And yet we sanction, free marriage—absolutely free with eve rything eliminated: minister, magis trate, and license. There’s where our sublime inconsistency comer, in. —Edward Bok in the April Ladies’ Home Journal. Gainesville is to have a >1,000,000 cotton factory—the largest in the state. Hurrah for Gainesville! She always was a mover.—Dalton Argus. A Wonderful Invention. Frank W. Hall bas invented the most peifeet business desk, especially for hus inees men who travel, we have yet seen. When closed up and locked it assumes the form of a drummer’s trunk and is about feet high and about 2 feet in width. It is compactly built, with iron trimmings, and will come within the railroad regulations as to size and weight. It can be carried as baggage without fear of injury to it or its con tents by rough handling while being transported. When you open this trunk desk you let down the front side which you use as a writing table. In front of yon are all of the pigeon-holes you wr-nt, for it contains a typewriter case, letter press case, places for several ledgers, places for letters, envelopes, documents, and every manner of business papers. The top above these apartments divides and opens as a trunk. There is room in it for two suits of clothes and all of the linen one would want to carry oh a pro longed trip. No' rotter-top desk is so complete. Everything is held in its place to prevent damage in shipping. Any traveling man can carry it with him and open business at any place he stops, with all the conveniences of his office at hand, including a typewriter and letter-press All that is needed is a small table, which can be found in any hotel pr boarding house, or a stump, which can be found in any neck of the woods, to set it on. It is also a nice and convenient piece of office furniture. It will be to an office what a folding bed is to a well furnished house. Capt. Hall may or may not have had an A. M. degree conferred upon him by some literary college from which he graduated. The A. M. degree means a diploma, as every one knows, which de clares that the holder thereof is a master of arts w hether he is a master of arts or not we do not know, but we do know that he has that which is better, the art of mastering. Were not Capt. Hall a wealthy man already he wpuld doubtless become so from the sale of this the most modern of all desks. Don’t Miss It* i Don’t miss the Ottumwas Quartette at the Auditorium on next Monday evening, April the 9th. Ottumwa is the beautiful Indian term for “rippling water,” and the thrilling power and tender sweetness of the Ot tumwas’ music renders the name super latively appropriate. The abundant honors thrust upon this organization from the music-loving peo ple, from the gulf to the great lakes, and from the classic Bay State to the breezy Black Hills, have given this con stellation of musicians the brightest place in the firmament of America’s male The harmony of their voices, of volume and tone, the rendition of the classics, and their abundant fund of rich and rolick ing humor, in the hundred concerts and eight Chautauqua assemblies the past year, have so charmed twenty-seven states that there is no hesitancy in prom ising that no similar company will better please the public for the season of 1900 This is a $l5O per night attraction. The Ottumwas will be assisted by Miss Jessie Kleiman, Chicago’s most gifted reciter. Gifted by nature with magnetism of voice and stage presence, she bas by insistent and intelligent study lifted her art into the realm of positive oratory. Her splen did dramatic recitals and impersonations make a choice setting for the scholarly and artistic renditions of the Ottumwas. Do not miss this attraction —the second in line of the Gainesville Lyceum Course.

Perry received in honor of Messrs. Van Hoose, Shonert, and Governaleat. their residence on Race street. Misses Beulah Evans and Alice Barnes met the guests at the reception hall and the ladies were ushered to the cloak-room on the second floor where they were gracefully received by Misses Alma Boring, Georgia Dixon, and Fannie Perry. After returning to the parlors the guests were served with chocolate by Misses Leila Banks, Estelle Sims, Julia Palmour and Lucile. Ham, who were as sisted by Mrs. A. M. Evans and Mrs. W. H. Evans. After the reception and before taking their leave the guests were served with dainty refreshments. The ice cream was frozen into the form of wicker baskets which contained whipped cream. This form displayed artistic taste and was unique in every particular. Mr. Perry has an elegant home and it is so arranged that the parlor, reception hall, library and dining hall can be thrown into one by throwing open the great folding doors which divide them. The house was brilliantly lighted and artistically decorated with palms, carna tions and violets. The colors, white and violet, were carried out in a most happy way. Mr. and Mrs Perry entertain in a most charming manner and the evehing was one which the one hundred and more guests enjoyed supremely. Congressional Committee. The Democratic Executive Committee of the Ninth Congressional district will meet in this city next Thursday, April 12, at 10 o’clock a. m. to transact such business as may be deemed necessary to the best interest of the party. The place of meeting in the city was not desig nated by Chairman Henley, but the r em bers of the committee will most likely congregate at the Arlington Hotel and then agree on a place to hold their meet ing. As yet no candidate for Congress has announced from this but Hon. F. C. Tate, who now represents the district, will probably be a candidate to succeed himself, and if the future can be judged by the past he!will win. Several other prominent gentlemen of the dis trict have been mentioned, but none has announced. In Flong|*•. A. R.

Judge G. H. Prior received a largd qpcoanut Tuesday morning from Mrs; Moore of Palm Beach, Fla., sent just as it was plucked from the tree. It had the appearance of a huge chestnut, and as tbe husks are always taken off of the cocoanuts before shipping, this one in tbe form that it grew was a curiosity to most of those who saw it. It had 20 cents in postage stamps on it and the address was written on its smooth outer covering. Will Make Pills. Juo. F. Little Drug Co. began taking stock yesterday morning and it is under stood that G. 11. Fuller will purchase the business. Mr. Little has enjoyed a good trade and been vpry successful. Mr. Fuller, who will most likely buy tbe stock, is a very popular man, widely known and has fine business qualities. His friends predict that he will be eminently successful. Curfew Rang on Sarah. Sarah Roberts, colored, was fined $1 and costs last Thursday afternoon by Mayor Mitchell for violating the “curfew law,” which prohibits women from loaf ing ox the streets after 9 o’clock p. m. Sarah and a woman of the name of Mamie- Conn had been on the streets from 9 p. m. to 6 a. m. the night before, and as the latter was a comparative stranger the warrant against her was held up to allow her to leave the city if she desired to do so, and this she agreed to do. These two are the only cases which have been made under this law for a time. After its passage by the City Council a. few years ago IF was'an interesting flight to* see women who were accustomed to stand on the street corners break for home when the ci y clock would strike 9. The ordinance has been well ob seived. Revival at First Methodist. Revival services are now in progress at First Methodist church. The pastor is expecting Rev. Geo. W. Duval of Social Circle to help him this week and next. Mr. Duval has just conducted one of the. most successful meetings at Oxford had in that place for many years. This is a time when all Christians of tbe various churches should unite for the salvation of souls. The power of such unity bas just been seen in the effect of the temperance rally on tbe community. Vould it not be well for the stores to close at 7 p. m. a few days earlier than usual? This will give all the clerks and others an opportunity to attend these meetings. This is a suggestion from the pastor, Mr. Thomas, and if some one will take a petition to the merchants doubtless they will agree to it at once. “Gone to Sleep.” Mrs. Joe Blalock, aged 37 years, died at her home in Hoschton last Friday afternoon from pneumonia after an illness of about three weeks. Her remains were interred at Bethlehem Methodist church Saturday, Rev. Mr. Erwin conducting the burial service. Mrs. Blalock leaves a husband and six children, two boys and four girls. She was Miss Alice Pinson before marriage and had many friends and relatives who sustain a great loss in her death. She was a woman whose influence for good was far reaching and the memory of her will cause those who knew her best to live exemplary lives that others may profit by their example. Apart from the grief of the husband, one of the most pathetic things witnessed after her death was when her little 15-months-old daugh ter, Lizzie, looked at her and said, “Mamma gone to s’eep.” Improved Machinery* A E Ramsdell of Venezuela spent a few days in the city this week visiting his old friend U- R. Waterman. Wfijle here out with Otto C. Scb'J*~t£ the Betz mine to examine some mining machinery and found just what he wanted and saw it in operation. Mr. Ramsdell is engaged in the minirg business with Mr. 'Waterman’s brother in Venezuela and he is m need of just such machinery as is used here.

Thosr who attended the Baptist Con vention at Griffin last week bring back word that Brother Wynne preached the convention sermon on Thursday night J Ind created a wonderful impression on I arers. He took as his text Ephe | :23 of Him that i.flileth all things”—stepped out-u&-4tov I platform and spoke for an hour and I twenty minutes, and it is-eaid that such ■ a sermon has rarely been heard within < the borders of the State. At the conclusion es the discourse brother Ferd McConnell led in prayer, and with a voice full of emotion he began witn “Oh, Lord, we thank thee for Joe Wynne.” Prof. Van Hoose, who was a delegate to the convention, says the sermon is going to give us trouble —that churches from all over the country will be after Brother Wynne. However, we think it will take a great deal to induce him to leave Gainesville, whose people he likes very much and whose people like him equally well, and where he has a wide field of usefulness. This session of the convention was en thusiastic and successful. The subscrip tions for education and charity were large and freely given. The convention will meet at Valdosta next year. Coming. A.

SEVEN RUNNING SORES CURED BY • _ Johnston’s Sarsaparilla QUART BOTTLES. THE GREAT SPRING MEDICINE. JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA as a Blood Food and Nerve Energizer, is th# greatest SPRING MEDICINE ever discovered. It comes as a rich blessing from heaven to the “ worn out,” the run down, the overworked and debilitated. That ** tired feeling,” those “sinking spells,” the languor and despondency which arise from badly nour ished nerves, from thin, vitiated blood and an underfed body, vanish as if by a magic spell. The weariness, lassitude and nervous prostration which accompany the- spring, time and the heat of summer, are conquered and banished at once. For every form of neurasthenia, and all ailments of the brain and nerve, insomnia, hysteria and nervousness generally, it is almost a specific. It furnishes the very elements to rebuild worn-out nerve tissues. It feeds brain, nerve centers and nerves, calming and equalizing their action; it makes rich, red, honest blood. Newness of life, new hope, new strength follow its faith ful use. It makes the weak strong, and the oldyoung again. It was the antiquated (but now happily exploded) method in the good old times, to treat Salt Rheum, Scrofula, Cancer and other troublesome disorders arising from BLOOD TAINT with powerful alteratives, such as mercury, arsenic and other mineral agents. It was expected by this treatment that the poison could be killed while the blood was left to course through its channels homing in its circulation the specific germs of the disease. But in this way, every part of the body became more or less diseased. Noth ing can be more terrible than a horribly destructive blood taint. It not only attacks viru lently the different structures of the body, but many times the bones are honey-combed and destroyed. It often seeks out the nerves and spinal cord, and again it will bring de cay and death to some vital organ, as the kidneys, liver or stomach. There is only one scientific method for the cure of blood taint. That is, PURIFICATION I Every particle of the blood must be removed through the execretory channels, the lungs, kidneys, bowels, liver and skin. “ First pure, then peaceable.” The great restorative, reconstructive and vitalizer of the blood, JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA, not only radically and ex haustively removes the taint, but also removes all mercury, calomel and other minerals, and fills the veins and arteries with the ruby, glowing current of vitality. “The blood is the life.” Good health means pure blood. The old and reliable remedy, JOHNSTON’S SARSAPARILLA, is universally regarded as the greatest Blood Purifier ever discov ered. This fact is now established beyond question or cavil.
