GAINESVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 01. 1014 SOUTH CAROLINA HAS NOW EVENED UP WITH BLEASE. “The Mills of the God’s Grind Slew; But they Grind Exceedingly Fine.’’ —Cole L. Biease Got His. ( BY STICK EM) “First in war,’’ but not in peace, but loved by her countrymen, is South Carolina, where the first gun of the Civil War was tired—no. not a “civil” war, far be it from such — but South Carolina iias lost the blackleg Governor, Cole L. Blease, who aspired to the U. S. Senate fiom that grand old State. And Cole thought he had the bull by the tail and a down hill pull, ami he did, so far as the gamblers and rag-tag were concerned, but they played out before he got a majority —thank goodness. Three times during the Blease re gime telegrams were passed between the “late governor” and Senator B. R. Tillman, who in our private esti jjjation is next best to Hoke Smith, fed whom the South Corolinians have honored for the past eighteen teen years. Yes, three times were telegrams passed between these hard fighters and heavy hitters. 'Here is the telegram sent Blease by Tillman when Blease was first 1 elected Governor: Hon. Z?ole L. Blease, Newberry, S. C. Congratulations; let the heathen : rage. B. R. Tillman. Now, in 1912 Tillman bitterly op ! posed the election of Blease, but j notwithstanding this fact, Tillman 1 couldn't control the vote, and Blease was elected. Then Blease sent this to Tillman: B. R. Tillman, Trenton, S. C. Let the heathen rage. They still rage. Cole L. Blease. Tillman, at the last primary, was ' still reformed as to having suppor- I ted “the late governor” in his first i race, and being overjoyed by this ’ defeat of the gambling governor, he sent the following telegram to Blease: Hon. Cole L. Blease, Newberry, S. C. The heathen still rage, but the people rejoice—see Dent. 3:2-15. I Goodbye. B. R. Tillman. ! - - - French Class for Gainesville. Mr. P.

The Robertson Drug Company and the Far mers and Merchants Bank Have— You May See Them. Perhaps nothing is doing more good to keep down the hard-times scare than the instigation .of “Buy a Bale of Cotton at 10 Cents,” which started in Atlanta daily papers. But it won’t end in Atlanta after it once gets to going, for the progres sive citizens of Gainesville will fall right in line It is a safe wager now that in a few days time every mer chant in Gainesville and every citi zen that can raise the money will have a bale of cotton. There are many of Gainesville’s men and women that could buy a bale of cotton and hold it from one to five years and never miss the money tied up, while others, if they only held it for a short time, would help the farmers who are compelled to sell and it, bring a good price by Christmas. Aou will not lose a cent by paying 10 cents for cotton today, for there will not be as much planted another year as was this; and if there is, the demand will he as great as the supply. You will help the farmer, you will help the the merchants, and you will help yourself, by buying a bale of cotton at 10 cents—don't pay less. You won t miss the money inves ted and you will help the farmer— and he will spend it with the mer chant and help him. Don’t howl hard times. Buy a bale of cotton and “.blow” good times. And report to the Eagle. We will an honor roll. Pay Attention. If you know of a child of school age, whose father is dead and who is unable to buy school books, please communicate with the Eagle office. We want only genuine cases. Mr. and Mrs. Scoggin's Guests. Mr. and Mrs. I. H. Sullens and Mr. and Mrs. F. M. Caudellof Bald win were last week guests of Mr. and Mr. J. W. Scoggins. Mrs. Cau dell and Mrs. Sullens are sisters of Mr. Scoggins.

A coming together of the congregation is especially re quested in entering upon the fall season. Small Blaze at Mr. Harrison's. The fire department was called out to the residence of Mr. W. T. Harrison last Friday morning to ex tinguish a blaze that was caused from a defective stove flue. Very little damage was done. No Dinner for Parker. An Eagle reporter dropped into the Parker Book Store after the rush Monday. The proprietor was panting and puffing. The fact of the business is he hadn’t had time to stop over for his dinner and hadn't even had time to get but one drink of water throughout the day. Mr. R. B. Hardie went into thestore that morning to make a purchase and Mr. Parker put him to work and he didn’t get away until night. Like wise one of DeLacy Law’s boys went into the store and he was put to work and he didn’t get away any more. A fine baby girl made its arrival at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Dathan 1 Jones Monday.

SI.OO a Year in Advance NUMBER 37 SHOOTS AROUND CHURCH BECAUSE BOY TAKES GIRL Will Jones Raises Considerable Disturbance 1 on Factory Hill Friday Night—was Drinking. Will Jones, a young white man on Factory Hill, last Friday night carried his best girl to church, and being a little intoxicated left her at the door and stayed on the outside of. the church. After the services were over the young man returned for the girl, but she had decided that another young man should have the honor of her company home. This raised Jones’ Irish and he pulled his gun and began firing into the air. Sheriff Spencer was notified of the event ami Style Buffington, his deputy, immediately went in quest of Jones. The latter was in the vicinity of the Southern depot when Mr. Buffington first saw him. and also there was a freight train at the depot. Jones, seeing Mr. Buffing ton, grabbed the freight train just as it was leaving the station and waved a hearty farewell to the deputy. But Brother Buffington wasn't going to have it rubbed in like that, so he wired the police at Buford to pull Jones from the train when it arrived. Next morning he received a message from thete saying that Jones was awaiting the Sheriff's arrival. It was decided by counsel for Jones that he would get trial in City Court. Judge Looper called a special sitting Monday afternoon. There were three cases against Jones. He plead guilty in one ease —paying the costs to be allowed to do so—while in the other case he also plead guilty with a fine, while the third case was no! pressed. Judge Looper at first fined Jones SSO and costs, but as Col. Gaillard made such a strong plea lor the young man. saying that he had not been in court before, . udge Looper reconsidered and made the three cases cos; Jones SIOO even, including costs Jones said that he would leave town alter he had paid the fine. BRUNAU’S PATRIOTISM. From Macon News: This is a free advertisement for Brenau College. It is the sort of ad vertising that money cannot buy, since the editorial space of this paper is not, and has never been, for sale. I’iie News desires to commend the officials ot Brenau College as pro gressive, patriotic citizens, with the welfare of their state and the cause of education close at heaft. By agreeing to accept cotton at a ten cents valuation in payment of the tuition and expense of farmers daughters who are attend ing the college, Brenau has fallen in line with the plan inagurated by the American National Bank of Macon. Brenau accords cotton the merit of currency. No country girl desirous of at tending Brenau need hesitate for want of money if her father has cotton and is willing to proffer it as a collateral. The -Macon bank. Brenau and several other intitutions have shown the way for the maintenance of the prosperity ot this state. If their examples are followed, there is no reason why the European war should cause us any distress. Slaton Spent $9,516,55 in His Race. Washington.
