COTTON STATISTICS.
According to the cotton gin cen
sus taken by the government on
Dec. 13, Hall county had ginned
10,897 bales, with about 300 more
to be ginned, making a crop of
approximately 11,200 bales, 77 gins
reporting.
Georgia stands second to Texas
on the list, 5,046 gins reporting,
with 1,376,850 bales and about
75,000 more to be ginned, giving a
grand round total for the state of
1,450,000 bales.
All the' cotton ginned to that
date shows a total of 9,311,835
bales. In this total were 812,661
round bales averaging 253 pounds
each. Counting each bale as a half,
as is the custom in the commercial
community, the net total therefore
is 8,905,503 average bales.
According to the estimate of
ginners 10.2 per cent of the crop
remained to be ginned after Dec.
13th, and according to estimate of
the special agents 9.8 per cent.
Applying these estimates and the
general average bale weight ob
tained from combining round and
square bales, the crop according
to the ginners is 9,996,300, and
according to the canvassing agents
9,954,106 bales, of an average of
500 pounds.
The report states the final cen
sus to be issued in early March will
probably not miss this estimate by
50,000 bales.
Thus for the first time in the his
tory of cotton the crop is made
practically known by Jan. Ist.
A NEGRO EDITOR ROASTS ROOSEVELT.
John L. Dickerson, Jr., editor of
the Norfolk News and Advertiser,
an influential negro, in a strong ar
ticle roasts Roosevelt, whom he
accuses of pampering to a few ne
groes at the expense of many.
He says that the president’s action
will put an end to the cordial rela
tions existing between the races.
He calls Roosevelt’s policy stubborn
and says the blacks should decline
the courtesies extended. He says:
“While there is nothing we desire
more than the legitimate advancement
of the race, we fail to see wherein the
pampering of a few of its leaders can aid
or tend to the welfare of the masses;
and if such is detrimental to the peace
and good will now existing between the
races of this country, we are plain to
say that as between a presidential invi
tation to some individual of the negro
race and the welfare of the great masses
of them, we would say by all means let
the president’s invitation go.
“The News has promised to speak the
truth to its people— not that part of the
truth which they like to hear, but the
whole truth, naked and unadorned.
“We feel and know that most unfor
tunately there is no people upon the
earth less willing or inclined to self
sacrifice for the benefit of their own race
than the negro.
“Where is the negro that is great
enough or grand enough to say to Mr.
Roosevelt: ‘I thank you, sir, for the
honor, but my race is toiling manfully
upward and I do not wish to disturb
them or to hinder them by exciting more
race prejudice. ’
“Let the negro look to it that when
he bursts the bonds of ignorance he does
not enmesh himself with the fetters of
false pride and empty vanity.”
RAINBOW-CHASERS.
The restless tide of humanity
that is leaving their homes in North
Georgia and North Carolina, while
not so great as formerly, is u still on
the move going to the West and
Southwest, looking for a better
country. The good country Is
never found. Many of those who
have gone West, to Texas, Arkan
sas and Oklahoma, are still looking
for a better country, and are mov
ing on a “little further,” some have
yone to Mexico under the alluring
promises that the “promised land”
of great opportunities and wealth is
still ahead; like the bag of gold at
the end of the rainbow, they never
reach it. Others who have moved
to Texas, try one county one year
and then the next year move on to
another county, thinking surely
they will find all their heart’s desire
in another part of Texas or in the
Indian Teritory. We read a letter
the other day from* a former
Mariettan. He located in a thrifty
section of the West about a year
ago, and now he writes that he is
going to the Indian Territory,
where the opportunities for making
money are greater. He adds, how-
I ever, that the price of success out
there is the same that it is in Geor
gia—unremitting toil, self denial
and economy. When a man puts
as much labor in the soil of Geor
gia as he does in western country,
he succeeds just as well. Here are
no drouths, chills nor fever nor bad
water, as is the case out there.
The young man can do as well here
as there if he will try. There is
more in the man than m the land.
Stay in Georgia. Marietta Jour
nal.
THE LAW AND WOMEN’S SKIRTS.
Those who realize the untidiness,
to say nothing of the absolute dan
ger from disease-germs, in trailing
long skirts about the
and in stores, the floorings of which
are necessarily far from immaculate,
hail with delight anything that tends
towards discouraging the wearing of
such skirts on the street, or the
more general custom of holding
them up. For this reason much
interest has been expressed in a suit
for damages recently tried in
Chicago.
It seems that a woman of that
city who wore an elaborate silk
skirt while marketing one morning
caught the skirt on a nail in an
orange box and tore a large hole in
the garment. She said the garment
was worth $45 and made an attempt
to obtain that amount from the man
in whose store was the box causing
the trouble. The justice refused
the protection of the law in this
case, declaring that the fault was
with the wearer of the skirt, and
practically making it illegal for
women not to hold up their long
skirts and prevent their trailing over
other people’s property.
Looking at it in one way, it is
none of the law’s business as to
whether a woman does or does »ot
wear a long skirt, and lets it drag
or holds it up; but it is a well
established fact that disease is
spread rapidly because of skirts
being allowed to trail through the
streets, and the health officers at
least should be permitted to have
something to say on the subject.
.NORTH OCONEE.
We have had a great deal of rain
for the last week and the roads are
very muddy in this section.
Mr. Will Wright bought a wild
mule from Mr. Turner Quillian, the
other day and Mr. Wills Eberhart
and Mr. John Gaines and Mr. Will
Pruitt came over to help him break
it. They got the collar and harness
on it and he got away from them.
They ran him up and down the
river for a while and finally he
jumped in the mill pond, and when
they got him out Will carried him
back to Mr. Quillian and swapped
for another mule.
Mrs. J. B. Harington of Banks
visited her father, Mr. Stephens,
at Dunagan last week.
Miss Florence Walker visited
Miss Jerusha Jo»es Sunday.
Mr. Kit Harwell has swapped for
a fine pair of mules.
Old Grandma Eberhart’s mule
died the other night. I suppose it
died with old age. It was a very
aged mule.
Misses Birdie and Daisy Berry
visited at Mr. Bud Stephens’ Satur
day.
Mr. 11. S. Walker has swapped
for a fine pony. I guess he will
ride high now. He says he is a
good traveler.
Miss Julia Butterworth visited at
Mrs. Eberhart’s Monday.
Mrs. J. W. Stovall is very low at
this writing.
Miss Jerusha Jones visited her
uncle, T. J. Jones, in Glade district
not long -since.
Fiye New Cottages.
Dr. J. B. Rudolph and Mr. R. W.
Dodgen have bought several vacant lots
on Race and Center streets. They will
at once erect five four-room cottages to
rent on this property.
THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, FEBRUARY 5, 1903.
PERUCHI-BELDENI COMPANY.
Something About Two Clever Mem
bers of the Company.
The leading lady in the Peruchi-
Beldeni company, which opens a week’s
engagement in the Gainesville opera
house Monday night, is Miss Maud
Reindollar, whose portrait is given
herewith. She possesses unusual his
trionic talent, and being in love with
her profession and working hard, she is
making a decided success. She distin
guished herself last season in the per
formance of “Lady Agatha Carlisle”
under the management of Belasco and
Hall, and has scored repeated hits this
season with the Peruchi-Beldeni com
pany. Her first appearance here will
\ . /
We i
be Monday night in “The Hour of
Nine.”
Mr. James A. Devine, the Irish come
dian with the company, is doing un
usually clever work this season. He is
an artist, and when you see him you
will agree that it is not a misnomer to
apply the term “artist” so a comedian.
The Greenville Herald speaks of liis
appearance in Greenville last week as
follows: “Devine is an exponent of
the original and genuine, and in every
piece in which he has a place there is no
lack of mirth.”
/
Better than Gold.
“I was troubled for several years with
chronic indigestion and nervous debil
ity, ” writes F. J. Green of Lancaster,
N. H. “No remedy helped me until I
began using Electric Bitters, which did
me more good than all the medicines I
ever used. They have also kept my
wife in excellent health for years. She
says Electric Bitters are just splendid
for female troubles; that they are a
grand tonic and invigorator for weak,
run-down women. No other medicine
can take its place in our family. ’ ’ Try
them. Only 50c. Satisfaction guaran
teed by M. C. Brown, druggists.
She Sleeps in Jesus.
Mrs. Octavia Hayes, wife of Jefferson
Hayes, who lives two miles out of town,
on the Brown’s Bridge road, fell asleep
in Jesus Jan. 23, 1903, being at the time
of her death 42 years 2 months and 23
days old.
She had been a great sufferer since the
first of last August. Her disease was a
complicated one and baffled the skill of
the best physicians, but she was a pa
tient sufferer, never complaining.
She professed faith in Christ during
her sickness, and manifested a desire to
be baptized, but her feeble condition
would never allow.
The community has lost a good neigh
bor, the children a fond mother, the
husband a loving wife.
Unconscious now, in peaceful sleep,
From all her cares at rest,
While friends around are called to weep
She is divinely blest.
Away from Satan’s tempting snare,
Her faith no longer tried,
In Jesus, she is sleeping there,
For in bright hope she died.
She sleeps in Jesus, soon to rise,
When the last trump shall rend the
skies,
Then burst the fetters of the tomb,
To wake in full immortal bloom.
She sleeps in Jesus; cease thy grief;
Let this afford thee sweet relief:
That, freed from death’s triumphant
reign,
In Heaven she will live again.
We laid her to rest at Poplar Springs
church Sunday, Jan. 25, at 11 a. m.
The funeral sendee was conducted by
Elder J. B. Parks of the S. D. A.
Church of Gainesville, using as a basis
for his remarks Ist Thessalonians, 4th
chapter, 12th verse and onward.
May the sweet spirit of God be with
the sorrowing family and bring them at
last with the mother in the saints’ eter
nal-rest, for Christ’s sake!
J. B. PARKS.
Escaped an Awful Fate.
Mr. H. Haggins of Melbourne, Fla.,
writes: “My doctor told me I had con
sumption and nothing could be done for
me. I was given up to die. The offer
of a free trial bottle of Dr. King’s New
Discovery for Consumption induced me
to try it. Results were startling. I
am now on the road to recovery and
owe all to Dr. Bang’s New Discovery.
It surely saved my life.” This great
cure is guaranteed for all throat and
lung diseases by M. C. Brown, druggist.
Price 50c. and sl. Trial bottles free.
BELLTON.
Bellton it seems at present is
affected with every known malady
that this climate permits. Small
pox, itch, not exactly nine kinds of
lice, but a political contest which is
more aggravating in its make-up.
Bellton can probably boast of
having three mayors and two sets
of councilmen, five preachers, one
doctor and a half, one postmaster
and two assistants, one lawyer, one
depot agent and more dogs than
any other town of its size in the
world.
Water is retailing at 40 cents per
gallon in Bellton, flavored with
sweet milk, and 20 cents with but
termilk.
Some time ago it was said that
there was not a grain of salt in Bell
ton. Judging of the butter we get,
it is rather scarce now. However,
a card received by our postmaster
from a firm in N. C. offers to
donate salt to all who need it.
Tom Wilson offers one hundred
dollars to anybody who will drive a
team through Bellton’s back streets
and not get his neck broken. We
want to state that if anyone accepts
the offer and attempts to make the
journey no insurance company
would issue him a policy, knowing
the condition of the route.
Bellton has three public wells for
sale and only one in use.
The picnic grounds seem to be a
pleasant retreat for a few.
Col. Spencer has sold his carriage
manufactory to Mr. Long, late of
Lincolnton.
We regret that our ex-marshal,
J. M. Patton, has smallpox in his
family.
We regret that Judge Kimsey
did not pass through our town and
see the condition of the streets.
He doubtless would have lent us a
hand m the way of a reprimand or
a fine. We hope Judge Russell
will not fail to take cognizance of
the fact.
The question for Tom Hill to de
cide is, who is boss of Bellton now.
Everybody is anxiously awaiting
the end of the contest. We are
afraid such measures will give this
place a bad nanle.

“Roll on, thou deep and dark blue ocean, roll.”
When as a boy I was told that “a roll
ing stone gathers no moss,” I was more
impressed with the idea of the active
life of “a rolling stone” than with the
desirability of becoming a “moss-back.”
This is a “rolling country,” not only as
to its physical surface, but also in the life,
energy, nr ogress, and wide-awake active
ity of its citizens. The hills and val
leys, the babbling brooks, the sparkling
streams, and the laughing waterfalls,
life and joy, health and strength, land
that responds freely to care and cultiva
tion, and “a thousand bills” for “cattle”
are all here waiting to bless the denizens
of the dreary monotonous prairies, the
pine barrens, the swamps and mud fiats,
the malarial districts, the frozen north,
and the scorching and debilitating south.
If some of you suffering ones will write
me, or come and see me, I will supply
you with homes where you can enjoy
life and happiness, and numbers of ruddy
jaced children will rise up and call you
blessed.

What to Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that Dr. Kilmer’s Swamp-
Root, the great kidney remedy fulfills every
wish in curing rheumatism, pain in the
back, kidneys, liver, bladder and every pat%
of the urinary passage. It corrects inability
to hold water and scalding pain in passing
it, or bad effects following use of liquor,
wine or beer, and overcomes that unpleasant
necessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many times
during the night. The mild and the extra
ordinary effect of Swamp-Root is soon
realized. It stands the highest for its won*
derful cures of the most distressing cases*
If you need a medicine you should have the
