SAM JONES FOR GOVERNOR.
EVANGELIST TO HI N AS A\ INDE
PENDENT CANDIDATE.
He Say* He AVill Proinnlunte Hl*
rialfurni on Monday—Belief K.v
|>resed In Some Quarter* That He
Could Get the Vote* of Populist*,
ProhibitionlKt* and Many Chnreh
People—Candler to Init *>n a
White Primary.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 19.—Sam Jones, the
noted evangelist, is the latest entry into
the Gubernatorial race. He made his an
nouncement this afternoon, and to-mor
row Is billed for a “sermon” at the big
Moody tabernacle in this city.
He said, when asked over the telephone
this afternoon, that he did not Intend to
talk politics at to-morrow's meeting, but
his announcement for Governor will give
him a packed house just the same.
The evangelist’s entry has created a
sensation here. To-night it was the all
absorbing topic of the political situation
about the hotels. Some regard it as a
joke, or a bid for advertising, while others
believe Mr. Jones means business.
He declined to give out much in the
way of an interview to-day, but declared
he was going to run for Governor, and
would print his platform Monday. Wheth
er he Intends to run as a Democrat or
Populist, Prohibitionist or independent, ho
declined to say in advance of his formal
address to the people.
His candidacy was promulgated by the
following telegram received like a thunder
bolt from a clear sky at the Journal office
this afternoon.
Cartersvilie, Ga., Feb. 19.—1 arrived here
early this morning from an extended tour,
and after going hurriedly through my
mail and seeing the great pressure on
ell sides and consulting no one but my
eeif and wife I have, upon mature delib
eration, decided to announce myself as
a candidate for Governor of Georgia, with
the assurance that I will not be the hind
dog in the race. I* ask the public
to await further announcements of my
platform and plans, reasons and regrets.
6am P. Jones,”
Those who take the evengelist's an
nouncement seriously think he will be a
formidable competitor for the honor. They
figure it out that he will run Independent
on a "Sam Jones” platform and will
gat the support of Prohibitionists, Popu
lists, church people and the class who
are most devoted attendants upon his
meetings.
If he really Intends to get Into the
game he will certainly make a lively time.
The state would be treated to the most
picturesque contest of the generation. One
of Sam Jones’ sayings is that he “hates
a dull time.” and there is no doubt that he
would do all he could to dispel the enntil
of the contest, and in the language of
the yellow kid "what he could do on the
stump would be a plenty.”
■As intimated in these dispatches several
days ago. Col. Candler will insist upon a
white primary when the executive com
mittee meets next month to arrange for
the convention. When questioned on this
line this afternoon, he replied: “Yes, most
assuredly, unequivocally and loudly. If I
am not the choice of the white voters of
the state, I would not accept the Governor
ship, Rather than do so I’ would go to
Mexico and shovel dirt on a railroad beside
a Mexican greaser. When I say a white
primary, I mean a white primary. If the
Populists want to vote in this primary,
they must be allowed to do so If they agree
to support the nominee. Yes, sir, I want a
white Democratic primary conducted In
every county in the state on the same day.
I have received a great many letters from
all parts of the state, and the majority are
from South Georgia. They all assure me
the support of their counties.
There were many rumors of new candi
dates to-day. One was that J. C. C.
Black of Augusta would enter, but that
gentleman telegraphed a denial of the re
port during the afternoon.
Judge Atkinson’s stock was given a big
boost locally by the publication of a list
of 300 prominent citizen calling for a meet
ing to organize an Atkinson club next
Monday night. Judge Atkinson has de
veloped unexpected strength here and al
though this Is the center of the Candler
boom, he stands a fine showing to get Ful
ton in the primary.
Following Mr. Berner's announcement,
Gov. Atkinson was quoted this afternoon
as saying Col. Candler Is already a beaten
candidate, though it remains to be seen
who will get the plum. When asked as
to the authenticity of this statement the
Governor said he had said nothing of the
kind for publication. He believes It just
the same, and probably expressed the
thought in private conversation.
GARRARD THINKING IT OVER.
Ha* Taken Qnentlon of Becoming a
Candidate Under Advinement.
Columbus, Ga.. Feb. 19.—Hon. Louis F.
Garrard has given the press a statement
that, owing to the urgent request of
friends, he has consented to take the mat
ter of running for Governor under advise
ment. He says he stated to friends he
did not think his views would be satis
factory to some persons In the Democratic
party, whose ideas on spending public
money do not agree with his, giving as a
reason that while the general property of
the state has increased since 1879 nearly
100 per cent, and railroad property about
450 per cent., the expenditures have so in
creased the tax rate that it is now the
highest in thirty years, notwithstanding
that property has doubled during this pe
riod.
He says further that notwithstanding
that the interest paid by the state on the
public debt has been reduced half, the
rental of the state road largely increased,
the educational fund this year is much
greater than the entire amount raised by
taxation in 1883.
1 He says he told his friend* that while it
might be political death to demand a rc
ducton of the prodigal appropriations in
view of the poverty stricken condition of
the people and their gradual approach to
confiscation, he would not hold the Gov
ernor’s office and allow them to be taxed
us now taxed with the rate constantly in
creasing. Instead of temporizing with the
question of taxailon he would under the
circumstances not run for Governor with
out open announcement that the battle
ax of the Democratic party should be ap
plied to the present tax rate, and all ap
propriations reduced till prosperity returns
to the people. He says even this did not
deter his friends from insisting on his
making no declaration that ne would not
be a candidate, and that he nas considered
the question no further.
Senltorn Wright for Nam Jonri.
Rome, Ga., Feb. 19.—Hon. Seaborn
Wright says that he is for Rev. Sam
Jones "against the world, flesh and devil.”
He telegraphed him this afternoon: "I

POLITIC s IN BROOKS.
Berner Not Looked Ijion n* Strong—
Bennett'* Cnntlldacy.
Quitman, Ga.. Feb. 19.—Hon. J. W.
Bennett and family of Brunswick, have
been visiting Mr. Bennett’s father here
for several days. Mr. Bennett was raised
in this county and practiced law here for
several years before moving to Brunswick.
He is very popular in this gnd adjoining
counties, and while here, received assur
ances on every hand from the people of
their hearty interest in his candidacy for
judge of the Brunswick circuit. Mr. Ben
nett, in speaking of the race for the judge
ship, seemed confident of success, while
he by no means underrates the possible
strength of his opponent, Hon. John C.
McDonald of Waycross. Mr. Bennett in
timated that with the assurances of sup
port, which he has already received from
all over ihe state, he could not see how he
can fail of election. The people of this
section knowing Mr. Bennett’s ability so
well, and feeling such a deep personal In
terest in his success, will watch his can
didacy with much Interest.
Mr. Berner's announcement as a candi
date for Governor was like a clap of thun
der from a clear sky, and set the people
and politicians to talking and speculating
at a great rate. It is almost impossible,
of course, at this time, to ascertain with
any degree of definiteness how his an
nouncement will be received. Your corre
spondent made inquiry of a number of
prominent citizens, who will take a hand
in the election, as to Mr. Berner's chances
in this section, and none thought that he
would be able to run ahead of Atkinson.
When Col. Candler snagged his skiff with
the famous letter the Candler sentiment,
which was never very strong here, van
ished into the air, and all
hands announced that they would
support ' Judge Atkinson. Mr. Berner
made a speech here six years ago in the
NorthenJPeek campaign at a big Demo
cratic rally, which made a very favorable
impression In the county, but with that
to his credit, it is not thought by those
best qualified to make a forecast that he
can stop the Atkinson tide.
A band of Gypsies, composed of Russian
Jews.has been doing a land office business
here to-day. The men trading horses and
the women telling fortunes. They were ns
hard favored a lot as ever struck the
town and attracted a great deal of at
tention. The town was full of people and
whenever the strange looking foreigners
would stop on the streets a crowd, large
enough to block the sidewalk, would col
lect.

Macon, Ga., Feb. 19.—Three more new
cases of small-pox were reported this
morning. The patients are pupils in the
South Macon School. The school Is clos
ed temporarily to await developments.
A small-pox patient at the Roff home
ran away this morning while the guard
was asleep, and going through Vinevllle
stampeded everybody on the streets. Of
ficers went in pursuit, captured the sick
man and have him isolated and guarded.
Physicians think there will be a general
spread of the disease now that it has ap
peared in various sections of the city.
The burial of Col. B. L. Willingham this
morning was attended by an Immense
concourse of citizens. His nine sons were
the pall-bearers.
Mrs. Matthew Daly died this morning at
10 o’clock. She was the wife of a promi

Great Revival at Davlsboro.
Davisboro, Ga., Feb. 19.—Evangelist L.
McConnell has just closed a revival at the

crowds came from the country and nearby
.towns to hear the Wonderful preacher. At
the last services more than 100 people gave
testimony to the great spiritual blessings
that had come to them. A wave of salva
tion has com© over the county, as a re
sult of these meetings. William R. Mac
kay, as musical director, accompanies
Evangelist McConnell, as well as Mrs. Mc-
Connell, and they make the singing an
important factor in the meetings. They

BIG FIGHT ON DU BIGNON.
WAR TO THE KNIFE TO BE MADE
ON HIM BY JUDGE ATKINSON.
Juke Beach and Brunswick Crowd to
Aiakr a Grand Stand Play to Secure
Control of South Georgia Politic*
During the Pinning Campaign—Hu
mor That Jndge Atkinson AA ill Ap
point Gov.’ Atkln*on Railroad
CommtHMioner if Elected Governor.
Washington, Feb. 19.—Prison Commis
sioner Jake Beach of Brunswick has re
turned to Atlanta after a two days’ visit
here. His coming had a direct bearing
upon Georgia politics, and his presence,
therefore, created much comment in Geor
gia circles.
Commissioner Beach came to Washing
ton in the interest of Judge Spencer At
kinson, whose candidacy for Governor he
Is managing. The object of his visit was
to confer with the Georgia senators find
representatives about the situation. He
talked with a number of members of the
Georgia delegation, but how much he ob
tained that was favorable to his purpose
it is impossible to say.
One thing of particular interest to South
Georgia did develop during his visit. This
is that the Atkinson plan of campaign is
war to the knife against Fleming dußig
non. Whether they win or lose the Gov
ernorship, it is the puriiose of Mr. Beach
and the other Atkinson men, as explained
here, to relegate Mr. dußignon to the
rear. Incidentally, it assumes the attltjde
of a light by the Brunswick crowd for
control of South Georgia against Savan
nah, but more particularly, of course,
against Mr. dußignon.
Ex-Secretary Hoke Smith, who is here
on legal business, seems to have joined
forces with the Brunswick friends of
Judge Atkinson in this plan of campaign
and is quoted as having declared that the
Judge is the coming man in Southern
Georgia politics, and that Mr. dußignon
is, tn the slang of the day, out of it. Sec
retary Smith was talking strongly for
Secretary Candler on his last visit here,
but seems to have changed front.
•Commissioner Beach expresses ihe belief
that Judge Atkinson is sure to win in
the contest against Col. Candler, and in
support of the belie* states that most, if
not all, of those who were for the pres
ent Governor in 1894 are now for Judge
Atkinson. In this connection it is a part
of the gossip that Judge Atkinson has no
idea of resigning his place on the railroad
commission, but if nominated will hold
it until his inauguration and then will
appoint the present Governor, Hon. H. Y.
Atkinson, to the place. Very little cred
ence is put in the idea of such a deal, but
It is talked In Georgia circles.

THE' GREAT" MUTUAL RESERVE
FUND LIFE ASSOCIATION.
Tamlin & Toombs. State Manager*.
From Frank Leslie’s Weekly.
One of the moet interesting meetings
ever held by the members of the Mutual
Reserve Fund Life Association was the
last nnnual gathering of that body, held
on Wednesday, Jan. 26. The enthusiasm
of the members over the annual report
presented by President Frederick A.
Burnham was abundantly justified. The
report showed that the company’s finances
have been placed on “bed rock.” Every
insurance company carries, of necessity,
more or less securities of fluctuating, un
certain, and. in many instances, question
able value; and the time eventually comes
when thes© must be reclassified, readjust
ed, marked off, or disposed of In some
manner. The annual report of the Mutual
Reserve shows that its securities are gilt
edged, clean-cut, and inventoried at their
Just valuation.
The income of the association last year
aggregated over $6,000,000, an increase dur
ing the past two years of over half a mil
lion dollars. It is specially noteworthy
that the company paid out during 1897 to
its policy-holders about two-thirds of ail
the moneys it received, viz.: $4,102,000. The
business during 1897 was considerably In
excess of that for 1896, and aggregaed over
$71,525,000 of insurance. Another commend
able feature of the administration of the
company is the fact that during the past
year its business has been conducted on
lines of extreme conservatism; that is, a
larger number than usual of applications
for insurance, which were deemed ques
tionable risks, were rejected. The Mutual
Reserve, as originally planned, was intend
ed to give a very low rate of insurance
without promising investment to the insur
ed. It has been found by experience that
the average expectation of life does not
warrant the very low rates first fixed by
the company, and it has, therefore, very
promptly, very sensibly and honorably
brought these **tes up to the limit of per
fect safety. Every member of the asso
ciation who stops to think for a moment
will realize that if the company' had not
taken this action it would properly have
been charged with dereliction.
The new five-year combination option
Plan of insurance offered by the Mutual
Reserve is also worthy of approval. It
provides straight life insurance of the old
fashioned kind at a lower figure than has
generally been charged for this sort of in
surance, but at a figure sufficiently high
to make the risk safe. Those who want
investment insurance, by which they will
secure not only a death payment, but also
some return while they live, must, of
course, expect to pay more for both in
surance and investment. The Mutual Re
serve does not propose to go into the in
vestment business; it confines itself solely
to the field of life insurance, and it starts
out in the new year in better condition to
do that business than it ever has been bc
fore - The Hermit.

On the eyes is a tax which may impair
the sight permanently. No one can af
ford to take such a risk. Fortunately, no
one need do so, as the remedy is easily
obtained. Our examinations (which are
free) determine just what the eye needs
to preserve it from Injury, correct de
fects, and strengthen the optic nerves.
It’s exceedingly unwise to neglect the pre
caution of an examination which costs
nothing. Our low prices make cost of
glasses a trifling matter.
