The Gainmille Eaflle. Official Organ of Hall Countfi. W. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager, Thursday, February 5, 1903. 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.

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.
