HARDMAN IN HALL COUNTY. There is no question that Dr. Hardman will carry Hall county. We ask every one we see. especially the people from the. country, and four out of every five are either pos itively for Hardman or inclined that way. Post cards have been sent out to all the voters in the county with an invitation to join the Hardman Club. So far hundreds many have been returned properly signed. Many others who favor Hardman have failed through neglect to return the cards, and every one is admonished to hunt up these cards, which have been laid aside, and sign and return and become a member of the Club. Captain Mitchell, secretary of the Hall County Hardman Club, sent some of the cards to Stephens coun ty, inviting voters to become mem bers of our Club, and he has received more than 150 members from Ste phens, fifteen signing one card. These names have been sent back to Stephens and a Stephens County Hardman Club organized there. The names of the Hall county Hardman Club will be published in next Sunday’s Atlanta Journal. At this stage ol the game, and prospects are growing better every day, it looks like Hardman for gov ernor. The Macon Telegraph says that in South Georgia there are only two candidates —except the counties near Savannah. These two candi dates are Nat Harris and Dr. Hard man. Dr. Hardman’s element of strength is his well-known character for po litical integrity, the purity of his private character, and his ability as a practical business man, manufac turer, farmer, and his stand for ed ucation am' the principles of tem pereuee. Another element of strength is the fact that he is abusing no other candidate, but toting his own skillet, i He expects to be elected, not on | what other candidates are not. but j upon what lie is himself. This being the fact—this being the attitude of Dr. Hardman—should a deadlock occur in the convention, it will be very easy for him to draw ■ from the ranks of his opponents. Since writing the above, M. J.; Harris has withdrawn from the] gubernatorial contest. Phis will be ■ a decided advantage to Hardman. ; It is a question of how much j strength. Harris had, but he must ■ have had considerable, lor he was i said to have been the Hoke Smith ' candidate. Now. a very large pro-' portion of his strength will doubtless ■ go to Hardman, because of the war ■ that had already arisen between the . two Harrises—W. J and Nat. For Hardman was and is fighting no one. We may expect Hardman to carry the Ninth and Seventh Congression al districts by good majorities. MR. BELL’S GREEN STREETER. Last Friday morning one of Mr. Beil’s Green Street supporters, in conversation with a member of the Charters Club, spoke in very sarcas tic terms of the Charters meeting the night before because there were some men participating in the meet ing who were stopping in a wagon yard. "Ah,” exuitingly spoke this Green Street supporter of Bell, "you Char ters men had to rob the wagon yard to get a crowd at your meeting.” These men were from the moun tains amt after arriving at the wagon yard heard of the meeting of the Charters Club and wished to attend it, and they did. They came in overalls, ami received a hearty wel come. Now. we are ot the opinion that the men who stop at the wagon yards are just as honest, just as intelligent, just as virtuous as this aforesaid Green Street supporter of Mr. Bell. Tt is true this Green Street suppor ter of Mr. Beil rides in an automo bile, stops al the best of hotels —but there are so few of him, and so aw ful many of the boys who wear over alls and stop at the wagon yards. Mr. Tom Beil is trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the boys who stop at the wagon yards by posing as the friend of the poor man, but when lie has a good plum to give out he gives it to the wealthiest men he can find. For Norcross post-office, McElroy, a rich man —the richest in the town. "1 love the poor man, but O you McElroy—you can give to my campaign.” In Lawrenceville, Mr. Cornett, the rich cotton seed man; in Winder McCants, the rich est man in town; in Dahlonega. Meaders, of the richest family in y - I Lumpkin county. At Ball Ground. Jack Lovelady, the richest man in town: In Gainesville, Andy Mun dy. worth tens of thousands. got the job of making the gin returns from Mr. Bell. When Mr. Bell came to make the appointment of cadet to West Point he gave it to McNieli, a Carolinian, a ball player, because some Beil fans and Col. Nash of Riverside Academy wanted him to. Polk Niblack, a poor boy oi Jackson county, and many other good coun try boys, tried for the place; but they weren't rich, and didn’t have the backing of the fans and a big I Colonel. These appointments are the best ' Mr. Bell had to give out during his ten years in Congress—and he gave them to gentlemen who aggregate over a million dollars in wealth. Oh you poor boys’ You have waited patiently for these ten years for the waters to be troubled —when Mr. Bell might do something for the poor man, whom he loves with a love that passeth understanding (during the cam paign). Then when the angel comes down and stirs the waters — the rich man enters the pool. It is the poor man wld> stops at the wagon yard that Mr. Bell is try ing to deceive into re-electing him, by empty promises. But don’t you think it is rubbing it in for Mr. j Bell’s Green Street supporters to be I making fun of the Charters Club ■ for receiving them as participants | in their meetings? Oh, Mr. Bell, you have fooled the j people long enough with your prom- | ises. After a long experience they I have finally located you—they have found that you carried your elec- > tions under false pretenses of your , loyalty to the cause of the poor — j while you shower your choicej blessings upon the heads of the ' rich. And another little incident that ; we might mention in passing: Last i winter when Mr. Fuller was dying! at his home at Gower Springs and! the news came that his family was : destitute, Mr. Bell and John Martin ' rode out to the home with a sack of : flour. John bought the Hour and ; Tom made the speech of present a- ; tion. Court'was in session at the; time. One of the despised lawyers' mentioned the case inside the bar. ; Col. Charters handed in livedoliars; i another lawyer two dollars; another I two dollars; several more gave two I dollars. Then they sent it to a lady, : I who carried it to tire stricken family, and none knew who gave it. .Did Charters get- a certificate from Mrs. Fuller that he had given five ; dollars? And did he have this cer- 1 titivate published in the papers? , I Nol much, for he is not a peanut I ! politician. i - | ■ THE NINTH DISTRICT SINCE THE WAR If you hail made the attempt,! 'without reading this, to tell who' I have been elected to Congress, and I j what year, since the civil war, you j ■would probably have misled it sev-; era! yard-. The thing hard to come I at was the terms up to isfi and 75. | 'But we found one who knew and re-I j membered —Mrs. McMillan, mother of Solicitor Bob McMillan, whose husband was elected to Congress but died before he took his seat. The first man elected to Congress J after the war was John H..Christy, i editor of the Athens Watchman, jHe was refused his seat. This was j 1866. In 1868 Wier Boyd of Dahlonega i was elected, but was also refused his ■ I seat. •! In 1870 W. P. Price of Dahlonega I was elected and served a full term. ' 111*1872 Price was beaten for the . nomination by H. P. Bell of Cum- i ming, who served a full term. i i In 1874 Bell was beaten for the nomination by Garnet McMillan of Clarkesville, who was elected, but died in J uly, 1875. . i A special election was called in ' 1875 and the convention held in ■' Gainesville lasted eight days. Dur | ' ing all this time Ben Hill, of Athens i and Atlanta, received 28 votes on . every ballot. For the first seven days Parks Bell received 32 votes on every ballot. Then Bell adherents ; j tried various other candidates, all , i of them receiving 32 votes —and Hill [ I the same 28. On the eight day J. B. , ' Estes was put out as a majority . ' candidate —the convention rule be- ■ ing two-thirds—and Ben Hill was > put out as a minority candidate. - Hill was elected by a large ma jority. - In this race W. P. Price •ran as an Independent. During 1886 Hill was - elected to the Senate. Parks Bell > ; secured the nomination for the r House. In this race Emory Speer t ' ran as an Independent, and Col. M. ■ .r. Archer, posimaster of Gaines- ■ ! ville, was the Republican candidate, , i and his vote defeated Speer. Archer t had been put out by Col. Farrow in , 1 revenge for trying on a former occa- ■ sion to break up a Republican meet , ' ing at the court house. I In 1878 Col. Joel A. Billups of - Madison beat Bell to the nomination, but Speeu- defeated him by 125 votes. i In 1880 Bell again was the nominee, I ut Speer was elected by 4.445 votes. IsSO A. D. Candler was the nominee, because no one else wanted it. He beat Speer by more than 2.600 votes. Candler had a fair Held until 1888. when Thad Pickett ran against him as an Independent. Candler was elected by about 1.300. After this race Candler declined to run again, because, a* he said, "the leg-pullers cost him a lull term’s salary.” In 1890 “Col.” Tom Winn, through the Farmers’ Alliance, secured the nomination over F. C. Tate and was elected. He got tired in one term and quit, and in 1892 Mr. Tate was elected and served without opposition till 1896, when he was opposed by IL H- Perry on the gold standard plat form. This year the country was crazy over free silver and Perry carried only one precinct in the w hole <1 ist i icl New town in Jackson county. In 1898 Tate was opposed by Howard Thompson lor the nomina tion, but was re-nominated. In 1900 J. N. Twitly opposed Tale for tile nomination, but Tate was successful. In 1904 Th os. M. Bel 1 opposed Tate and was successful —and is still on the job, with signs oi being pulled loose by the people. SOME OPTIMISM. Congressman Thos. M. Bell spoke to a big crowd at Buford Saturday afternoon at 4 o’clock. The crowd was so large that speaking in the COURT HOUSE had to lie aban doned and the people gathered around the platform of the depot, in the open air, where Mr. Bell ad dressed them. —Gainesville News. Now, Brother Hardy, that is good. You advise the Bell men to keep up their optimism, and be of good cheer. How much optimism will it take to to believe there is a Court House in Buford? We don’t think it would take many Bell men to overcrowd that court house. Brother Hardy, aren’t you a little out of practice? HE FLUNKED, OF COURSE. And so Tommie has refused to meet Charters in joint debate. Os course he has. You should have known it without asking. Tommie’s claquers said it was be cause Tommie didn’t want to use himself to draw a crowd for Char ters. Tommie said joint debates engen dered bitterness —and he wanted no bitterness. Now, isn’t that a bitter statement? Behold Tommie endeavoring to avoid, bitterness! You know the reason why Tom mie doesn't want to meet Charters face to face before the people. But Tommie is following Char ters around whenever possible. JACK AND TOM. Now, these two fellows, Slaton and Hard wick—well, it is about a standoff with us. And therefore we are in a position to see things: straight. We thought yesterday, after the speaking, what a beautiful idea it was— what a beautiful sentiment — to see the governor of the State and tin 1 “First lady of the State” stand ing side by side shaking hands with the yeomanry. But no one could get rid of the thought that his |Ex cellency was running for oilice —and that night be the cause of it all. And Hardwick—he tore himself badly in that Lockridge matter. And so it goes. Now. don’t you get it in your head that we are saying these things in the interest of anybody. We are only saying how it looks to a man up a tree. Hardman Will Carry the Ninth. From Atlanta Constitution: Dr. L. G. Hardman, candidate for governor, will carry the ninth con gressional district certainly and very probably the eighth district also, ac cording to State Senator John T. Peyton, of Mt. Airy, hi the thirty first senatorial district, who was in Dr. Hardman’s headquarters in the Kimball house on Monday. “Dr. Hardman’s chances in my section of the state are brighter now i than they ever have been,” he said, 1 Band he is steadily gaining in strength. There is no doubt that he will carry all of the eighteen coun ties in the ninth district, and it would not at all surprise me if he carried the eighth district, too.” A TEXAS WONDER.
