HON. FARISH CARTER TATE.
In the near future, during the early
summer, the democratic party of the
9th congessional district will nomi
nate a candidate to succeed Hon.
harish Carter Tate in the next con
gress.
Mr. Tate is now serving his fifth
term, and if reports from Washing
ton are to be credited during his
past ten years of service, he has
grown steadily in worth to the dis
trict and country, holds a very high
place in the confidence of his col
leagues, both democratic and repub
lican, and at all times commands
respect and attention.
Mr. Tate has nothing of the spec
tacular about his methods. As
is generally known, the work of
congress is done in committee rooms,
and it is there that legislation is
shaped. When Mr. Tate first went
to Washinton, he was given com
mittee appointments of minor im
portance. This is a fate of all new
members.
Some men haven’t the grace to sub
mit to be shelved on some commit
tee where there is nothing to be
done and where nothing can be done,
and as a consequence such reach no
position of prominence. Not so
with Mr. Tate. As soon as his first
committee appointment was an
nounced, without pique at not being
given something better, he went
faithfully to work, grasping at once
the idea that a member makes him
self felt and grows in influence only
as he faithfully and laboriously per
forms whatever duties present them
selves even on committee of minor
importance. Mr. Tate also realized
new members do not spring into
prominence by virtue of oratorical
efforts on the floor of the house,
but by proving untiring and astute
committee workers.
Mr. Tate’s worth was soon recog
nized by his colleagues, his influence
felt and faithful work was rewarded.
During his second term he was
placed on the naval affairs com
mittee, one the most important of
all the major committees, and it has
been on this committee that his best
work in congress has been done.
Mr. Tate is now the ranking dem
ocratic member on the committee.
For years he has served on the print
ing committee, one of no meaA im
portance, and, as on the former, he
is the ranking democratic member.
Besides he holds second place on
the democratic side on mines and
mining committee.
Long and faithful service has re
warded Mr. Tate with prominence.
But what is all this worth to us?
Just this: Should Mr. Tate be
returned to congress, and should
the next house be democratic, he,
being the ranking democratic mem
ber of naval affairs committee, would
be made its chairman and thus prac
tically control legislation in that
great branch of government. To
have the 9th district represented
by a man whose worth and merit
have placed him in such a position,
can but reflect credit upon the dis
trict.
With a democratic house, by rea
son of Mr. Tate’s high position on
the three named committees, he
would be of enormous moment to
the 9th district.
Mr. Tate merits the opportunity
to attain this high place in the af
fairs of the nation.
It would but a fitting reward for
his faithful service.
It is only thus that he can reap the
fruits of his labors.—Toccoa Record.
Dislocated Her Shoulder.
Mrs. Johanna Soderholm of Fergus
Falls, Minn., fell and dislocated her
shoulder. She had a surgeon get it back
in place as soon as possible, but it was
quite sore and pained her very much.
Her son mentioned that he had seen
Chamberlain’s Pain Balm advertised
for sprains and soreness, and she asked
him to buy her a bottle of it, which he
did. It quickly relieved her and en
abled her to sleep which she had not
done for several days. The sou was so
much pleased with the relief it gave his
mother that he has since recommended
it to many others. For sale by M. C.
Brown, Gainesville.

Tom Winn Marries.
Hon. T. E. Winn of Greene coun
ty, ex-congressman of this district,
was married last Thursday afternoon
at 3 o’clock at the home of the
bride in Grcenesboro, Ga., to Miss
Minnie Linton. The bride-elect
is a popular young lady of the his
toric old town of Greensboro.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. Mr. Smith, the bride’s pastor.
Mr. Winn is a native of Gwinnett
county and his many friends in this
section will be pleased to learn of
his happy marriage.—News Herald.
Saved from Terrible Death.
The family of Mrs. M. L. Bobbitt of
Bargerton, Tenn., saw her dying and
were powerless to save her. The most
skillful physicians and every remedy
used failed, while consumption was
slowly but surely taking her like. In
this terrible hour Dr. King’s New Dis
covery for Consumption turned despair
into joy. The first bottle brought im
mediate relief and its continued use
completely cured her. It’s the most
certain cure in the world for all throat
and lung troubles. Guaranteed. Bottles
fifty cents and one dollar. Trial bottles
free at M. C. Brown’s and Dr. J. B.
George’s drug stores.
Tuose Frisky Gainesville Clerks.
The boys tell a good one on Tax
Collector Walden of this county.
It is this: Some time ago Mr.
Walden visited Gainesville and step
ped into a store while trade was dull
and the clerks were all in the
room sitting around the stove. ‘ ‘ Walk
right back,” said one of them, mean
ing for him to come farther down
the room. In an instant Mr. Walden
wheeled and was out of the door,
wondering why they had ordered
him out of a store which was sup
posed to be open to everybody.
Before getting very fai', however,
a clerk overtook him and fully ex
plained what was meant and he re
turned and spent several dollars
with them.—Dahlonega Nugget.
A Very Close Call.
“I stuck to my engine, although every
joint ached and every nerve was racked
with pain,” writes C. W. Bellamy, a
locomotive fireman of Burlington, la.
“I was weak and pale, without any
appetite and all run down. As I was
about to give up, I got a bottle of Elec
tric Bitters, and after taking it, I telt
as well as I ever did in my life.” Weak,
sickly, run down people always gain
new life, strength, and vigor from their
use. Try them. Satisfaction guaran

George. Price 50c.
Gus Now Major.
Dr. G. T. Canning, now a staff
officer of the U. R. K. of P., has
been appointed surgeon of the 2d
Georgia regiment, Uniformed
Rank, Knights of Pythias of Geor
gia, with the rank of Major. Dr.’s
friends congratulate him upon this
deserved promotion.
Wonderful Nerve.
Is displayed by many a man enduring
pains of accidental Cuts, Wounds, Sore
Feet, Bruises, Burns, Scalds, or stiff
joints. But there’s no need for it.
Bucklen’s Arnica Salve will kill the
pain and cure the trouble. It’s the best
Salve on earth for Piles, too, 25c at

Longstreet Monument. >
“I’ll tell you,” saidaveteran who
followed Longstreet through the
thickest of the fight on several oc
casions during the war, “Gaines
ville, his home town, especially
honored by reason of his residence
here, and the south generally, that
cannot realize fully now as we who
were with him, did the service he
bravely gave to the stars and bars,
will be neglectful of their duty and
recreant to a rare privilege if a
handsome monument is not erected
here to the memory of the gallant
general. Without disrespect or
disparagement to the other gener
als, we veterans know that Long
street won his fame and right to
greatness in the war where every
day of the four long years ot con
flict his name was on the soldiers’
lips and in the citizens’ conversa
tion. Others endeared themselves
to the people after the war, but
Longstreet was in the immortal
trio during the strife.”
Aching in the small of the back is an
indication of Bright’s Disease. The
proper course in such cases is to take a
few doses of Prickly Asli Bitters. It is

THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE, JANUARY 21,1904.
Goy. Smith Buried Here.
Comparatively few persons are aware
that the dust of one of Georgia’s former
governor’s, one in whose terms of office
some events of unusual interest trans
pired, lies buried in Alta Vista ceme
tery, this city, unmarked by more than
ordinary marble tribute. That governor
was James M. Smith.
After Bullock had been made military
governor and resigned, Benj. Conley,
president of the senate, succeeded him
and held office till an election was or
dered and Smith sworn in. Smith was
elected Dec. 12, 1871, and was inaugura
ted in January following.
To Gov. Smith ex-Gov. Jenkins, on
returning to Georgia, surrendered the
great seal of the state, which he had
held to “keep it from the hands of a
military governor.”
Gov. Smith was elected for a four
years term as governor in 1872.
During his administration the public
school laws first became operative; the
N. G. A. college at Dahlonega was
opened; public credit was restored; the
state bonds went to par; and the state
was relieved of fraudulent debts. Du
ring his term, too, the last woman ever
hanged in Georgia was executed.
Gov. Smith was born in Twiggs county
in 1823; he was a colonel in the Con
federate service, 13th Georgia regiment;
member of the legislature in 1871 and
1872, and speaker of the house. After
being governor from ’72 to ’76 he was a
member of the first railroad commission
of the state, in 1879.
His wife died while in Gainesville for
her health, and afterward Col. Smith
died in Columbus and was brought here
for burial beside his wife’s grave.
Croup.
The peculiar cough which indicates
croup, is usually well known to mothers
of croupy children. No time should be
lost in the treatment of it. and for this
purpose no medicine has received more
universal approval than Chamberlain’s
Cough Remedy. Do not waste valuable
time in experimenting with untried
medicines, no matter how highly they
may be recommended, but give this
medicine as directed and all symptoms
of croup will quickly disappear. For
sale by M. C. Brown, Gainesville.

Women as Well as Men
Are Made Miserable by
Kidney Trouble.
Kidney trouble preys upon the mind, dis
courages and lessens ambition; beauty, vigor
Sand cheerfulness soon
disappear when the kid
neys are cut of order
or diseased.
Kidney trouble has
become so prevalent
that it is not uncommon
for a child to be born
afflicted with weak kid
neys. If the child urin
urine scalds the flesh or if, when the child
reaches an age when it should be able to
control the passage, it is yet afflicted with
bed-wetting, depend upon it. the cause of
the difficulty is kidney trouble, and the first
step should be towards the treatment of
these important organs. This unpleasant
trouble is due to a diseased condition of the
kidneys and bladder and not to a habit as
most people suppose.
Women as well as men are made mis
erable with kidney and bladder trouble,
and both need the same great remedy.
