JONES FIRES OFF HIS JOKE.
LEAVES THE GATE OPEN SO HE CAN
ENTER THE RACE IF HE WISHES.
Bay* He 1m for Hliiinclf If He Hum.
and if He Doeun'l 1m foe Candler.
The So-Called Platform Snppoed
to Be In Candler's Interest, But the
Latter. Nevertheless, Comes In for
Sonic of It Ridicule.
Atlanta, Ga., Feb. 21.—Sam Jones' "plat
form” for Governor came forth on sched
ule time this afternoon, but, as stated in
these dispatches last night, the document
did not put the evangelist in the race. He
aays he is a candidate, but is not running
yet. The letter, which is four columns
long, is a roast of the politicians, Gov. At
kinson and his followers In particulars. Al
though the purpose of the letter is to help
Col. Candler, he too comes In for a share
of ridicule. Here are a few choice selec
tions from the evangelist's political espis
tle. Referring to' Col. Candler's famous
recently letter, he says: "Allen
I), was worse scared than he was hurt,
dead sure, or he never would have written
that second letter. If I had been him I
would have stuck to that letter and fought
it out with them as long as I eould kick
or hit or shoot or cut, and when hands
and legs were gone and teeth worn out,
I’d a gumed ’em till I died. Oh, if Mr.
Candler had stuck to that first letter and
said: ‘Gentlemen, I have made a lot of
shoes, they are my shoes and your fit. I
call no names but every fellow knows his
number.’
“But, In all seriousness, Gen. Evans was
the choice of the common people of Geor
gia in 1894, just as Allen 1). Is the choice
Of the common people of this state In 1898.
'That candidate, who ever he may bo,
■who shall manipulate the machine po~ <cs
of this state, so as to get the nomination
and be elected, will as certainly defeat the
will of the people in this state In 1898 is
it was most surely done in 1891, and he is
the fellow 1 want to sit up with.
"No one can charge me with selfish ends
in my announcement. A man who is
preaching to a million of people a year
with a 825,008 salary, cannot be charged
with selfishness or self Interest when he
announces for a little job like the Gov
ernorship of Georgia, when he knows that
it is only its emoluments he will get, for
some of his predecessors! have knocked
the bottom out of the honor of the thing.
"If I couldn't run Georgia better tnan
it Is run to-day, on half the funds that
they are running It with, I would resign
before my term of office was half out. I
atn everlastingly against a fellow draw
ing his salary for anything, from Gov
ernor down to bailiff, and pocketing the
money, monthly or quarterly, with the
consciousness that he has no more earned
his salary than the tramp at your back
door has earned his breakfast that you
hand out to him.
"The reign of the demagogue hurts, from
Governor down to bailiff.
"We have had the most extravagant ad
ministration for the last four years that
Georgia ever had, and opr state taxes to
day are nearly twice what they were be
fore this administration came into power,
with an assured future increase for years
to come.
"Judge Atkinson is well known in public
affairs in Georgia. He may be doing a
great deal of thinking, but, to my mind,
he is not doing much talking.
“And there is President Berner of the
Senate of Georgia, a leader among this
gang on the extravagant side of every is
sue coming up, telling the members thut
pledges must be fulfilled and promises re
deemed.
Gentlemen, for one, V am tired of that
gang. I am candid when I say I don’t
believe one of these fellows is much bet
ter than the other, 1 believe Georgia can
get a good governor outside of those who
participated In the schemes, tricks and
trades of politics in this state in 1894, by
which they came into control and which
robbed Gen. Evans of the governorship
and defeated the will of the people. I
would not lug into this campaign gold
buggery and silver-diggery and the tariff
issue, for the Governor of Georgia and
the state house officials have no more to
do with the enactment or non-enactment
Of laws on that question than the frosts
of Alaska have to do with the oranges of
Florida.
“I am sick and tired of the average lit
tle politician racking around over the
state preaching gold-buggery or cham
pioning silver-diggery. which he uses sim
ply as a blindfold to hide from the eyes
of the people his own Inefficiency for the
offices he proposes to fill, or to raise an
enthusiasm on a question about which he
himself has views that he couldn't sell for
10 cents a dozen in any intellectual mar
ket
"Nor would I be a little political trick
ster riding over the state denouncing cor
porations and monopolies, and then when
the people sent me to the legislature of
Georgia cram free passes on all the roads
in Georgia in my pocket and give as a
reason for non-action on all these ques
tions that It was impossible to do any
thing because the lobby was 100 strong
"If I am a candidate one hundred times
I shall speak from the platform as I
speak from the pulpit, denouncing wrong
and championing right, and handle pap
euckers and pot politicians just as I han
dle pharises and hypocrites in the church
of God. ,
“Gentlemen, I believe I can get a hear
ing if this candidacy lasts, and if we can
have a few joint debates there will be
blood and hair and the ground torn up
for live miles all round the speaker's
platform.
“If I don’t run, gentlemen, these are
my principles.
“If I should run these are still my
principles.
"If I do run I am for myself.
"If I don’t run I am for Allen D. Can
dler.”
TAKEN’ SEHIOI SLY AT HOME.
Jones Expected to He a Candidate
for Governor in Earnest.
Rome, Ga.. Feb. 21.—A sensational ru
tpor Is current here to-night to the effect
that a big independent movement in state
politics is on foot.
A well known politician, who is on the
inside, says a full ticket will be put out.
Rev. Sam Jones will head the state
ticket, getting the Populist and Prohibi
tion support.
It is said to be the plan to put
Seaborn Wright for Congress in this dis
trict. Mr. Wright has long been desirous
of running for this office. His friendship
for Rev. Sam Jones, who supported* him
for office, is well known.
The announcement of Mr. Jones is re
garded seriously here. This was his old
home and he has many friends here.
If Col. Candler should fail to get the
nomination it is understood that Mr. Jones
will appeal to his disaffected followers,
who will not vote for the nominee of the
Democratic party.
It is thought here that tickets will be
put out in other parts of the state on
•he independent platform.

HIKE RACES AT BELLEAIR.
The Cracks of Several Countries to
Hide Against Each Other.
Bellealr, Fla., Feb. 21.—T0-morrow morn
ing at 9 o’clock, there will be held a yacht
race in Clear Water bay. The race will
start from the Bcileview Hotel and will be
tho commencement of the celebration of
Washington's birthday.
On the Belleair quarter-mile coliseum cy
cle track the champions or the world will
fight for honors, and money. The great
est Interest has already been displayed in
the cycle races, owing to the initiation of
the great six-cornered pursuit race, the
first which will be run In this country.
Arthur Gardiner, Kiser and Nat Butler
have been training hard for this race. Ed
ward Taylor will attempt to ride a mile In
1:40 or as fast as any express train trav
els. Taylor has already ridden very t ear
the mark, and Is confident that he will
break the record for the track, and bring
It down to where it will stand for many
years.
At the track the men have been sprint
ing daily, testing their speed. The Euro
pean riders use long sprints, and the
Americans are practicing the same with
the intention to outdo the foreigners.
Quarters are ridden in :26 4-6 seconds by
several of the men; eighths are ridden in
from :12 4-5 to :13 1-5, times that have very
seldom been equaled heretofore, and which
shows that the men are in as fine condi
tion as any racing men ever were.
Twelfth-mile sprints are brought down as
low as :08 and even a shade lower. Many
of the men will attempt securing some of
the records after the races in such good
condlton are they and so fast is the track.
August Lehr, the German champion, will
make an attempt to lower the world’s
quarter-mile record unpaced. This will be
the first record tackled and should the day
be satisfactory, lehr will lower the record
by at least a second. I>r. Brown. Gard

DEPEAV HURRIES NORTH.
Hanger on the Stock Market Salil to
He tile Pause.
Brunswick, Ga., Feb. 21.—Hon. Chaun
cey M. Depew hurried back to New York
to-day in his New York Central private
edr, accompanied by his niece, Miss Pauld
ing. They have been visiting Jekyl since
Saturday. The cause of their hasty de
parture was their receipt of a telegram
early this morning by Mr. Depew. It
sounded a warning note of trouble In the
stork market, and conveyed a request that
he hasten back to headquarters.
Mr. DepeW intended to remain on Jekyl
two weeks. President McKinley and ex-
Secretary Cornelius M. Bliss were to Join
him Friday. They were detained by the
Maine disaster.
On this subject Mr. Depew said: “I am
ready to talk on the Maine horror in any
way except as to its cause. We must be
careful in discussing that feature until
after the board of Inquiry has gone over
the situation. At this juncture it will not
do to excite the public mind by any wild
conjectures. The results which might arise
from any unwise step are too awful to con
template. One disaster must not follow
another, and we Americans ’must keep
cool for the present. First learn what the
investigation proves and then if there is
any talking to do I will do as much of it
as any one."
J. T. Terry, a big stockholder in the
Western t'nion Telegraph Company, left
Jekyl hurriedly for New York to-day. An
early morning telegram out snort his in
tended stay of several weeks. It stated
that war rumors were sending prices of
stocks tumbling down, and every resource
must be brought to bear to stop the trou
ble. The departure of Messrs. Dopetv and
Terry on similar missions has excited some
talk among business men here who have
been informed of it. They view with ap
prehension the attempts of New York's
yellow journals to create a war scare.
Disastrous effects of the work already
done in this direction are becoming more
and more apparent to close observers here
daily.
Talk of Gubernatorial Canilldatefi.'
Waycross, Ga., Feb. 21.—There are .
few supporters of Berner in this section,
but the number is very small. So far as
South Georgia has to do tho issue at pres
ent is between Candler and Atkinson, the
latter being more enthusiastically advo
cated than the former. Louis Garrard
would stand a better show in South Geor
gia than Berner will have and Candler
will do still better than both of them to

BOIES’ NEW CURRENCY PLAN.
NEITHER GOVERNMENT NOR INDI
VIDUAL WOl LI) LOSE.
Man llringina Silver Bullion to the
Treasury Would Receive fur It
Certificates to the Amount of Its
Market \itl ii e—On Returning the
Certificates He Wonlil Heeeive
Bullion lit its Then Market \nlue.
Des Moines. 4;i., Feb. 21.—Ex-Gov. Boies
has sent the following letter to the Leader,
replying to the criticisms of the currency
plan advocated in his recent speech at
Fairfield:
"Many of my critics think they see a
yawning abyss In the plan for currency re
form outlined in my Fairfield address, into
which the treasury of the nation would be
in constant danger of dropping if the plan
was adopted.
"Let me see if I can quiet the fear.
"Suppose (the plan being in force) A.
brings to the treasury to-day 106 ounces
of silver worth in the world's markets 50
cents an ounce. He would receive for it
850 in certificates that would ever after In
the treasury or out be full legal tender,
and the treasury would receive his silver.
"One year later he or some on© else
brings these certificates back to the treas
ury for redemption. Silver has doubled In
value. He would receive for them 50
ouqces of silver. The treasury would own
his certificates. With these or some other
850, the treasurer would purchase In the
open markets fifty ounces of sliver and
cover it into the treasury. That would
close one transaction. What is the result?
The treasury has gained fifty ounces of
silver. A. has neither gained nor lost a
farthing.
"Multiply similar transactions to any de
sired extent. The result Is always the
same on a rising market. The treasury
gains the rise. Individuals lose nothing.
No pit there. Then reverse the market.
"When A. returns with his certificates
for redemption silver has fallen to 25 cents
an ounce.
He receives 200 ounces of silver and the
treasury owns his certificates. With these
or some other equally good fifty dollars,
the treasury immediately buys in the open
market 200 ounces of silver and covers it
into the treasury. This closes that trans
action. What Is the result? The treasury
has neither gained nor lost a grain of
sliver, nor a farthing of value. Individ
uals have neither gained nor lost a farth
ing of value. No pit there.
"But suppose silver Is cornered in the
markets, what then? Simply redeem with
gold and buy gold instead of silver for
the treasury.
"A world of work this buying of bullion
with which to redeem certificates some
one suggests. Don't worry. There would
be no rush for the redemption of these
certificates any more than there Is for
the silver certificates with silver dollars.
Every bullion certificate would be worth
more to every man outside of the treasury
than the bullion It would represent.
"But what of the certificates! the dol
lars Involved In these transactions? In
all the years of rising and falling prices
they would float along the channels of
business hand In hand with their brothers
Issued for gold, incapable of indentlfica
tlon among any number of such as soon
as in the conscience of the just for they
would know (or would if they could
think) that whether the market was up
or down there would always be behind
them their exact face value in one or the
other of the money metals.
"Would they be a floating currency?
Let my critics try again.
"(Signed) Horace Boles.”
FEDERAL PRISON IN DIXIE.
An Appropriation to He Put l n the
Sundry Civil Bill,
Washington, Feb. 21.—Representa
tive Livingston of Georgia has
succeeded in getting a practical start to
ward that much-needed Southern federal
prison. For several days he worked with
the Attorney General and Secretary of the
Treasury for thedheeessaVy estimates, and
finally succeeded in getting the necessary
formal letters from both officials.
The letter of Attorney General Griggs
suggested the appropriation of 865,000 to
cover preliminary steps, and start on the
buildings, but the committee, ln view of
the heavy increase in the fortifications ap
propriation made by the Senate, decided
that it would go no further than to pro
vide for the selection of a site and the'
preparation of plans and specifications.
The item which, by unanimous report
of the committee, goes into the sundry civ
il appropriation bill reads: "To enable the
attorney general to have prepared plans,
specifications and estimates, and for ex
penses connected with the selection of a
prison site south of the thirty-ninth de
gree of north latitude and east of the
Rocky Mountains,•sls,o6o to be immediate
ly available.”
Under the existing law, the site Is to be
selected by the Attorney General, and the
Secretary of the Interior. All the other
details come under the department of jus
tice, of which the Attorney General is the
official head.
IS IT CURABLE?
A Question Often Asked by Those Af
flicted With Files.
Is a strained Joint curable? Is local in
flammation curable? Of course, if proper
ly treated. So is piles.
People often become afflicted with piles
and ask some old "chronic" who has al
ways persisted in the wrong treatment
and naturally he discourages them by tell
ing them that their case is hopeless.
They in turn discourage others, and
thus a disease that can in every case be
cured by careful and skillful handling ts
allowed to sap the energy of thousands
who might free themselves of the trouble
in a few days.
Pyramid Pile Cure will cure the most ag
gravated case of hemorrhoids in an as
tonishingly short time. It relieves the con
gested parts, reduces the tumors instant
ly no matter how large, allays the inflam
mation and stops the aching or itching at
once.
Thousands who had resorted to expen
sive surgical treatment have been cured
by Pyramid Pile Cure—in a number of
Instances iiersons who had spent months
in a hospital under a pile specialist.
It is a remedy that none need fear to
apply even to the most aggravated, swol
len and Inflamed hemmorrhoidal tumors.
If you are afflicted with this stubborn
disease you can master it and master it
quickly.
This remedy is no longer an experiment,
but a medical certainty. It is manufac
tured by the Pyramid Drug Cos. of Mar
shall. Mich.
Druggists sell it at 50 cents per box. It
is becoming the most popular pile cure
this country has ever known and drug
gists everywhere are ordering it for their
customers.
