The Gainesville Eagle. Entered at Gainesville, Ga., post-office as second-class matter. Published Every Thursday. Eagle Call: Bell Phone No. 56. Official Organ qf Hall County W. H. CRAIG, Editor and Business Manager. Thursday, May 10, 1906. COULDN’T TOUCH HIM. It is gratifying to know that for all the boodle of the railroads and their henchmen Henry Perry was triumphantly nominated to the Gen eral Assembly last Saturday. The plot was well laid, and it was a deep one and pretty thoroughly under ground, but the people got onto it in good time to set off the fuse and blow up the conspirators. There are some of the sly old tools of the corporations who would have given their small, swiveled, flea-bitten souls to beat Perry, but they are hereby warned that they will never do it so long as the hon est yeomanry of Hall county are able to get to the polls. THEY WILL BE THERE. Those of the voters of Georgia who have in the past belonged to the Populist party seem to be taking a mighty sensible view of the mat ter of a-handful a ring-straked-and striped ringsters meeting in solemn conclave and calling themselves the Democratic party. It is indeed amusing enough to make a brass monkey smile. Just think of it— Hamp McWhorter, Warner Hill, and a small coterie of their ilk— they are the Democratic party. And the proud commonwealth of Georgia has delegated to them the right to take the blood and bone and sinew and virtue of the Democratic party ahd tie them up in assorted lots and say, ‘ ‘This lot shall vote, for they are for Clark Howell and the corpora tions, but that lot shall not, for they are liable to vote for Hoke Smith.” That is exactly what it amounts to, and the populists see it. And they are going to refuse to nave their consciences put in the keeping of the McWhorter-Hill combination. And the populists know that with the help of their votes the oligarchy pf rascality that for years has been a festering sore on the body politic will be torn asunder and cast to the four winds, and with new and hon est leaders they will be proud to be counted m the organized Democ racy. If ever there was a time when the State of Georgia was passing through the crucible that time is now. TILLMAN IGNORED WHITE HOUSE IN VITATION. President Roosevelt invited Sena tor Tillman to attend the banquet given Monday evening at the White House to the officers of the French squadron, which came to this coun try to attend the ceremonies subse quent upon the final interment of John Paul Jones, but Senator Till man did not go to the White House. As the senior democratic member on the senate committee on naval affairs he was entitled to an invitation and would have been a notable guest. To day he declines to discuss why he did not obey the invitation, for socially an invitation from the president is regarded in Washington as a com mand. Senator Bailey, of Texas, is another democrat who received an invitation to the same reception at the White House and who likewise did not heed the summons. Two years ago Senator Tillman was invited to meet Prince Henry of Prussia at a dinner at the White House. After the invitation issued and before the dinner had occurred Tillman had a personal conflict on the floor of the senate chamber with Senator McLaurin of his own state, South Carolina. The incident was given widespread publicity, and fol lowing that the president withdrew his invitation to Tillman. Since that time there has been no inter course between the senator and the executive. The matter was further complicated by the refusal later of the nephew of the senator to present a sword to President Roosevelt upon the occasion of the latter’s visit to the south. Although Senator Tillman has been by Republican action made |e£e rep resentative of the president'in sen ate of Mr. Roosevelt’s side on the railway rate legislation, he has not up to the present time consulted with the White House in the matter. It is believed here that the feud be tween him and the president will continue indefinitely. Officers Caught the Burglar. Columbus, Ga., May s.—The Columbus police department broke its own record this morning at 1 o’clock when it captured a mule burglar in a leading Broad street store. Officer Lawson was pacing his beat when he heard curious noises inside the Columbus Paper Company’s store. He quietly in vestigated and marveled at the bold ness of the burglar, who was blun dering around in reckless fashion. Another officer was summoned and the two went in to take the in truder, dead or alive. The burglar advanced to meet them and the of ficers held up fire until they could see the whites of his eyes, which was fortunate, as the intruder was none other than the company’s mule. The animal is kept in the back yard of the store at night, and the back door being left un locked or open, from oversight, the mule proceeded to enter and take a ramble through the store late at night, in the same matter-of-fact manner that “Maud” is depicted as entering restaurants and saloons, in the Sunday comic supplement. Fruit in Great Abundance “We are going to have a dead load of peaches in Georgia this year,” said Judge Gober of Mari etta a few days ago when asked as to the prospects of the crop. Having said this, he continued: “My only fear is that we will not have help enough to pick and pack the fruit, and ice in sufficient quan tities to ice the cars. Last year, with a comparatively small crop, we were considerably short on ice, and hundreds of tons had to be brought to Marietta to be used in refrigerating the cars, and this will be done again this year. The rail roads did all that they could for us, and we have no complaint to make against them. One thing is quite certain, that we are going to have an abundance of fruit this year, and I believe that the fruit growers will all make money, for the reason that the fruit will be fine as well as abundant, and the people have the money to pay for it.” Jack Frost this Morning. May 10th is pretty late for frost, but there was frost in many places this morning and young plant life was seriously affected by it. It is not supposed to have done any se rious damage to fruit, but it is thought that cotton is badly dam aged in some parts of the county. A telephone message from Flowery Branch is to the effect that the cot ton is killed there. Mr. Roberts, the operator there, says that he has seen some that has been brought in, and it is perfectly dead, and that one farmer reports 3 0 acres killed and is buying seed to replant. Mr. R. F. Quillian has telephoned to Mr. J. H. Hunt to stop sale of cotton seed from the Jennings property, that the cotton around Bellton is killed. Mr. J. L. Ellis reports that he came in from the upper part of the county, and that he never saw so much black cotton, but not all of it is killed. From the telegraph offices we learn that the frost extended almost throughout Georgia, and several messages to the effect that cotton is killed have passed over the wires. It is not generally believed, how ever, that the damage is so bad as these messages would indicate. It snowed in Kentucky day before yesterday and the cold wave reached here last night. The thermometer registered 42 degrees this morning, and overcoats were in evidence be fore the sun took the chill out of the atmosphere. THE GAINESVILLE EAGLE. MAY 10. 1906. TRADING IN FLORENCE. It Is Hard to Tell Who Wins, the Buyer or the Seller. A man observing a hat marked 12 francs thus reasoned to himself: “The price is marked 12 francs. That means 10. The shopman will offer it for 8. It is not worth more than 6. I don’t want to give more than 4, so I’ll offer him 2.” This suggests the principles upon which trade is carried on. The fol lowing is an illustration of the proc ess: Buyer—What’s the price of that hat? Seller—Twelve francs, sir. B. (in a tone of astonishment) — Twelve francs? Heavens, what a price! S.—lt’s not dear, sir. You couldn’t get it as cheap anywhere else in town. B.—Nonsense! What’s the lowest price you’ll take for it ? S.—Well, as it’s you I’ll sell it for 11. B.—Per Bacco! Why, it’s not worth half that. S.—Well, what will you give for it? B. —I won’t give a centime over 6 francs. (This very decidedly, as if he really meant it.) S.—Six francs! Why, it cost me more than that. B.—Go along! (Tries on the hat, which is very becoming, and contin ues in a coaxing tone): Come, now, let’s finish this affair. Name your price. S. —Well, take it for 10 (seizing it as though everything was settled and hurriedly wrapping it up). B.—Stop, stop! I’m not going to give that price. (Makes for the door, as though he also thought the affair ended.) S.—Stop, sir! Tell me now frank ly the highest price you will give. (This in an encouraging tone, with head on one side and a sweet smile.) B. —Come, I’ll give you 7. (Makes show of pulling out pocketbook, with the air of having made a hand some offer that would be snapped at.) S. (now beginning to get excited) —This is more than I can bear! We will talk no more about it! B. (Seeing too much decision in shopman’s manner) —Well, come now. How much will you take? I’ll give you 8. There! S, —No, no, no! I won’t sacrifice the hat! \ This is the moment for the buyer to rush from the shop, sometimes even getting to the corner of the street, when the excited seller will dash after him, imploring him to come back again and take it for 9 1 /2. Then work begins in earnest, and they rise and fall alternately by half francs and sometimes fight over the last two sous. When the bargain is completed amid a torrent of words and wild gestures the conqueror (which is the conqueror?) goes off with his hat as proud as the victor of a score of battles to admiring friends, who turn it over and peer at it and examine it critically, praising him for his shrewdness in making such a bargain. —London Mail. At Least a Help. “Uncle David” was an Oldtown character, some of whose sayings have been put into black and white by Mr. Norton in his “Sketches” of that vicinity. David used to run rafts of lumber down the Penobscot and was wont to boast that he “al ways sold to one man, and when he didn’t sell to him he sold to some body else.” One day Uncle David was stand ing on the river bank when a stern wheel steamboat passed. He gazed long and thoughtfully at the vessel and then, turning to a bystander, said in a tone of deep conviction: “That wheel is a great sarvice to that boat.” A Foe of Feuds. Stranger—You say that man has killed forty people ? Mountaineer Yes, in a feud. Feuds is ba’d things, and we don’t want no more of them in these ’ere parts. Stranger—But that man is going right along attending to his busi ness as if nothing occurred. Why don’t you arrest him ? Mountaineer—Arrest him! Gee Willigan, stranger, that ’ud start another feud, and I just told ye we don’t want no more feuds.—New York Weekly. Real Muscular Christianity. A preacher was the other day de scribing true muscular Christianity and gave an instance of the meaning of the phrase: “I once had in my Sunday school class a young urchin from a poor neighborhood. He was a bright lad, doing his best at all times. One aft ernoon I said to him: “ ‘Billy, don’t you think you could induce one or two boys to come to | Sunday school ?’ ‘“I could bring one,’ Billy an swered, ‘but all the other fellers in our alley kin lick me!’ ” WITTE’S CAREER. Count Witte is not a man of hum ble origin, according to the By stander. His family was influential. He was born at Tiflis on June 17 (29), 1849, and his father was di rector of the department of agricul ture in the Caucasus. Through his maternal grandfather, General An drei Fadeyeff, who married a Prin cess Dolgouruki, he is related to the Dolgourukis, to Mme. Hahn (the Russian George Sand) and Mme. Blavatsky. In 1866 he became a member of the new Russian univer sity at Odessa. While an under graduate he displayed strong lean ings toward journalism. He went into the service of the Odessa branch of the Southwestern railway in 1870 at a salary of SSOO a year, but soon obtained a high position. How They Reached a Verdict. At a session of the superior crim inal court held in Worcester a pris oner was tried for setting fire to his dwelling house in a nearby village. The prisoner made a very plausible explanation in his own defense, but notwithstanding the general im pression in the courtroom was that a verdict of guilty would be speedi ly reported by the jury. To the as tonishment of the court the jury returned a verdict of not guilty. Judge Holmes of the superior court, who was presiding, turned to the jury and, in a surprised and sharp tone, said: “Mr. Foreman, how did you ar rive at that verdict ?” The foreman, after deliberating a few seconds, replied, “By ballot.”— Boston Herald. An Interesting Paperweight. An interesting paperweight has just been given to Epworth universi ty at Oklahoma City. It is a section of the brass pump rod of the steam ship Sirius, the first steamer to cross the Atlantic. The trip was made in 1838, and the vessel left Cork on April 3 and arrived in New York on April 22. The ship was lost on the English coast in June, 1847, and was salvaged in 1896, fifty-one years later. The metal work of the vessel was purchased by the Masons, a firm of Birmingham (England) ship suppliers, where the pump rod was cut into sections and the souvenirs made. The paperweight is about half an inch thick and four inches in diameter. It looks as bright as if it had never seen the bottom of the sea. Not All He Expected. A boy who had accomplished a good deal in football, but little in his studies, says a writer in the Booklovers Magazine, was dropped from one preparatory school and immediately invited to enter anoth er. He had been there a few days when he met a member of the fac ulty. “Well,” said the professor, “how do you find it here ?” “Pretty fair,” said the boy. “That’s good. Find it smooth going, eh?” The boy considered. “Well, I shouldn’t like to say that exactly,” he said. “The field’s sort of rough yet in places, sir.” Plants and the Moon. Camille Flannnarion has been making experiments in Paris to see whether the moon exerts any influ ence upon the growth of plants, ac cording to the legend. He made different sets of plantings ’at dates which corresponded to the different phases of the moon, using peas, beets, carrots, potatoes, beans and many other vegetables of the ordi nary kinds. The results were ex tremely variable, and no fixed rule seemed to govern them. The plants appeared at periods which had no connection with the moon’s phases. Buying Weapons In Russia. In Russia before a weapon of any kind is purchased a permit must be secured from the local authorities. The name of the purchaser, with the number of the weapon, must be re corded by the storekeeper in a ledger kept expressly for the purpose. If the buyer ever w’ants to dispose of his weapon he must again notify the authorities and cause the transfer to be recorded on the books of the firm that originally sold it. Criminals In Italy. Italian prisons got so full this year that the government had to re sort to royal clemency to some of the occupants in order to make room for delinquents crowded out. A de cree was issued last August, and since then 1,536 prisoners have been pardoned and 3,072 have had their sentences reduced. Rubber Cat o’ Nine Tails. In some of the mines of South Africa, where it is necessary to flog the miners, strips of rubber have been substituted for the scourge, as the rubber, while causing very sharp pain, does ‘not cut the flesh like leather thongs.—lndia Rubber Jour nal. Hoke Hunt Seriously Assaulted? The latest report from the bedside of Hoke Hunt, who was seriouely if not fatally assaulted last Sunday about noon in the woods near Chat tahoochee church, is to the effect that there is a change for his recov ery. A telephone message from there states that Dr. E. P. Ham went out to see him this morning and thinks there is- grounds to hope for his recovery. Mr. Hunt is a son of Dr. A. W. Hunt, who lives about two miles from Flowery Branch. Young Hunt was attending an all-day ser vice at Chattahoochee church, three miles out from Flowery Branch, and left the grounds about noon. Others are said to have gone with him, but reports here conflict. After about two hours young Hunt was found lying on a log, with his skull crushed in. His face was up turned and a large dead limb was lying by the log. It is supposed that he was struck the blow that crushed his skull with this limb. The blow was received on the left side of the head and the skull liter ally crushed in, with fractures ex tending in every direction. He was taken home in an unconscious con dition and was operated on Monday night by Drs. K. A. Smith and E. P. Ham of Gainesville, W. W. Lyle of Oakwood, and J. D. Cobb of Flowery Branch. The skull was raised and many fragments of the broken bones were taken out. Up to this morning he was in an unconscious condition and his death was expected at any moment. Tuesday morning Jim Reed, son of Bud Reed, of near Oakwood, was arrested by Sheriff Crow and lodged in jail. Later Monroe Hope, son of Laws Hope, who also lives near Oakwood, was arrested and placed in jail. Mr. Crow is sup posed to be out now to make addi tional arrests; anyway, he is out of the city, and it is reported from Flowery Branch that others are im plicated. The boys arrested say that they know nothing of the affair, and it is possible that reliable information will not be available before the evi dence conies out in court, as all par ties concerned are guarding against giving out any definite information that they have at hand. There are many rumors, but none sufficiently authentic to use. Hunt and both prisoners are young men. A Distinguished Visitor. Mrs. J. 11. Estill of Savannah will spend the summer in the city.
