During the few weeks of the extra
ordinary session of Congress just clos
ed Hon. Carter Tate lias shown his
entire fitness for the position to which
the voters of thin district called him.
lie was prompt in hisatlendanee upon
the sessions of the House, and his vote
was always recorded in conformity
with his pledges to the people and us
lie thought to tile host interest of his
const it iieuts and t he country at large.
True In' did not vote with the admin
istration in tlie unconditional repeal
of the .Sherman law, hut he did vote
for every amendment that proposed to
recognize silver iu the least respect
and conditionally repeal this “cow
ardly makeshift.’'' in t Inis casting his
vote he more nearly redeemed the
pledges of his party and the construc
tion placed upon the party’s pint form
in his campaign before the people last
fall than did those who voted down all
amendments proposing to recognize
silver and for unconditional repeal
alone. For bis honesty and courage
to stand up to the pledges made Un
people his constituents tlie more ad
mire hi in, especially to have done so
In direct opposition to the views oft lie
Bresideut and the patronage dispens
ers. But an honest tuuii is the noblest
work of God. Carter Tateisa worker,
too. There is, perhaps, not a commu
nity in the ninth district that Ims not
already been favored wit li some change
(hut the people desired, or in which
does dot live some man or men who
have not been made the recipient of
some kindness or labor of his while in
Washington. Certain it is the ninth
showed tip n larger per cent of post-
office changes in the first few months
of Uie present administration thnnnny
other district, and tin* changes arc
continually going on, too,and will un
til every office is tilled by a Democrat
or at least one who is not specially
offensive or obnoxious to Democrats.
Carter’s record thus far is satisfactory
and if t here is any oppnsitIon to his re
elect ion next fall it has not been made
known. Certainly there should be
none and I do not believe there will
be any if he desires to be returned.
V
('apt. Sam Tate, who is Congressman
Tate’s aid and spends the whole of his
time while in Washington visiting the
departments in tin- interest of the peo
ple of tlie ninth district and is ever
ready to do them a favor In any way
possible, was in Canton this week. Hi

Tile excitement over the recent gin
posting lias about djed out in < herokee
and but little is heard of it now-a-dnys.
However the honest, law-abiding citi
zens have not forgotten the outrage
done tlie different localities and the
people at large and they have their
eyes and cars open ready to see and to
hear what is going on. if tlie move
ment is again started hy tin- white
caps to post or burn or otherwise harm
property or persons it is quite proba
ble they will he the worse surprised.
Honest people of all classes and par
ties do not propose to again lie intim
idated anil outraged by (lie lawless.
***
A gentleman was in town last, Tues
day who told me lie hud enough evi
dence now to convict two and perhaps
others of gin-posting. Doubtless there
are others who are prepared to give
like testimony. The gin-posters are
spotted and when one prosecution is
determined upon others will follow.
However, so long as all goes on peace
ably and there is no more gin-posting
or oilier intimidations engaged in it is
probable all will stop where it is, hut,
if not, lookout—something will be sure
to drop.

There were some extraordinarily fine ,
agricultural exhibits at the World’s
Fair, and tlie corn exhibit was partic- |
ularly attractive, but if our Cherokee I
farmers had tried to make an exhibit |
of corn 1 believe old Cherokee would
have shone out resplendunt and at-1
traeted much attention to l.lie Empire!
State of the South. John T. Ilastey, I
wlio farms near Canton on the Etowah
river bottoms made this year a little {
more than 200 bushels of corn from
three acres. One of the stalks from
this piece of ground measured 7 inches
in circumference—it is more like unto
a sapling than a corn stalk, and will
make a first-class club, “l ode John”
is a good farmer, lias good laud and is
a good worker as well as a good talker
and he always lias good crops. While
others may complain of short crops,
low prices, etc., lit- is happy and says
bis crop is as good and times as good
as ever with him. He is happy and
cheerful and one of Cherokee’s very
best citizens.
* *
Tlie Irving Society of the Etowah
Institute has struck upon a new and
original idea. It is proposed to give an
entertainment at the court house to
night for the benefit of those who did
not attend the World’s Fair, at which
it is expected that those who did go
w ill tell something of what they saw
and how they were impressed. In
other words the World's Fair is to lx*
brought to those who could not goto
it. We shall see how interesting this
may be.

Mrs. Jeff' Beck is moving in the mat
ter of establishing a post office at her
place, midway between Can I on and
Walesca. She has selected Mount Edna
as the name for Liu* office. Since the
discontinuance of Keeter postoffice a
few weeks since the people of that pari
of the county have been put to great
inconvenience in receiving and dis-
putcliing mail. An office at this point
would be very accessible and conven
ient to a large number of people and
should be established.
*»*
Another postofflee and postal route
should be established somewhere in
tiie neighborhood of the Worleys, Cor-
nelisons and others, near the intersec
tion of tlie road leading from Walesca
to Bail Ground with tlie Canton road
posted:
in Clayton district. Since the dis-
eontiiiiianee of the office at Bag* and
the postal route from Canton to Sharp
Top there i* i large scope of country j within a fc-v to; . of I
with a great many families thrown ! ten uin n-a x n,„,
without n ,ii facilities. Tlie only , , T
offices now in that sect ion are Wall sea, Cl),in *’ ^ 10 morning after
Sharp Top and Ball Ground. From
Canton to Walesca it is S miles, to
Sharp Top 12 miles and to Bat) Ground
12 miles, aud from Walesca to Ball
Ground about It miles. The heeds of
the people require an office somewhere
in tlmt section, and i believe if Un
people interested will move in the
matter the department will establish
an office and provide for its serviee
from Canton or some other point as
often as two or three times per week.

Tlie fourth quarterly conference of
('anion church and circuit was held
last Sunday afternoon. The llnaneial
report ns to the salary of the presiding
elder and pastor in charge was very
gratifying, although neither were paid
in full. However more will yet lu
poid and a very creditable showing
will he made for Canton church, con
sidering the old debts of more than
$500 besides which have been paid, and
the conference claims also. There
may be some changes made iu t he work
for next year: it may go back to a sta
tion, or, perhaps. Walesca or some
other church be added. The services on
Sunday were very Interesting and well
attended. The sermons preached hy
Dr. Ileidf were powerful, logical and
impressive. There are jfew abler
men in die ministry limn Dr. tteidt.
Elections were held in several stales
last Tuesday, tlie result of which may
lie more or less significant. If so De
mocracy may be the loser thereby in
fut lire contests for nearly all t lie states
went overwhelmingly Republican.
However, there is a grain of comfort
and consolation in tin- fact tlml the
Democrats carried Virginia, defeating
the Populist--, Prohibitionists and Re
publicans hy a handsome majority.
They carried some other state's, too.
Well, this is an off'year and it is better
to lose iu such contests than to have
lost last year or to lose in the next na
tional contest. Another tiling demon
strated in Tuesday’s contest is that Hu-
Third party or Populists were not “in
it’’and that one of the I wo old purl ies
will coni inue to control the destinies
of this Nation. This is hopeful.

It seems (hat It has been difficult to
muster a quorum ill either the House
or Senate this week and legislation
has, therefore, been more of less re
tarded, and, perhaps, what Ims been
done may result in much litigation
over i I s const it ut tonality, lit lie mem
bers have no! the time to quit their
private aff airs and attend to the dot ies

and are being paid it occurs to me it

who have more time and regard lor t In

Prof. McCalln, of the State Geolog
ical Department, is iu tlie county this
week making surveys aud examina
tions of tlie marble deposits in tills

deposits found and says tin- leads seem
to be well defined and extend through
the coinR). lie is making a pretty
thorough survey, taking tlie location
and trend of tile leads, names of tin-
owners of the property and samples of
the marble with a view of giving it
more critical and scientific office Icsls
and analyses, lie is well pleased witli
the surveys made in this county and
says the marbles of this section are
equal to any he has seen and unlimited
in quantity. Prof. Met alia Ims been
t hroiigh all the northern cniinties of
this state and will complete his Held
surveys probably by the first of Jan
uary. lie is only interesting himself
in the marbles. Prof. Ycales, Ha
state Geologists, is out locating Hu-
gold deposits, and will reach this enmi
ty in a lew weeks. Prof. King, also of
the Geological bureau, is also in the
Held hunting up corundum. They are
meeting with a hearty reception and
co-operation wherever they go and
their surveys and reports will unques
tionably be of great worth aud interest
to tlie whole stale.Tliis is just what the
Advance has’ advocated lor years and
I rejoice that it is now being done by
competent men.
The mineral development of I his sec
tion is attracting more attention than
in several moot lis past. Resides I lie
opening up of many old mines and
some new ones in quite ail extensive
way, a great deal of tribute mining is
being done anil more or less money iu
this way being put in circulation. The
Worley mine Ims been recently sold

I went out to Judge lirnwn’s lovely
country villa last Wednesday and en
joyed one of tin- best old fashioned
dinners it Ims been my pleasure to sit
down to in many days, if, in fact, ever
before. Of course I did it full justice.
The occasion was acorn shucking,and,
as this was the first regular old-time
corn shucking I ever attended, it, too,
was a real treat and greatly enjoyed.
There was a large crowd present, of
whites and blacks, men aud women,
and all were merry. At night tlie
young people from town and t lie neigh
bors nearer by gathered and enjoyed
themselves as young people only can
in innocent games and with such hosts
as Judge anil Mrs. Brown. Sorry I
could not remain with them, and I am
sorry, too, tlm Advance will not give
more space in which to tell of this corn
shucking and the merry company
present, the large crops grown on tlie
place, etc., etc., but I am merely a con
tributor now and must cut iny w ritings

It is a sad fart that iu such a favored
land as ours any man lias to cover his
possessions with a mortgage indebted
ness in order In ut lam the necessaries of
life.
Novortlieleis statist,ies prove that this
is true. The reason or cause for this
state of things should he sought after hy
every man in order, if possible, that it
might In- removed. Is not a man's ab
solute freedom and independence more
or less hampered by the mortgage debt
that hangs over him?
Malls!ies emiiialing from the United
Mates census bureau show the mortgage
indebtedness on farms and homes in
several states. According to those the
per capita iiult hlodnt ss in Georgia is
$15, which is the lowest iu twenty-tlime
states.save one, and that one is Arkansas.
While comparatively this is a good
showing for Georgia, vet, tho fact is not
promising to her citizens over whom
hang this mortgage indebtedness.
The important question to this class is,
Imw to relieve themselves from the
mortgages. Of course there is lmt one
method hy which they can he gotten off'
the ilebtoiN and out of their way, aud
that is to pay them. But can they pay
them? If mi. In w hat way and by what
means? Will national legislation in ac
cord with the demands of tlie national
llemoeiatie plalfoim lilt this bullion
from Georgia farmers? Not altogether
hut it will help largely to do so. Will,
or can, tlie national government fratur
nally assume this indebtedness, pay it
off; ami roliuve tlie debtois? Never!
Any such idea is misleading. Will tlie
persistent production of uollon, at cost,
and less Hum cost ol production hy said
moligagois, pay off ilioir mortgage in
debtedness? Not in a thousand years.
Will borrowing money at extortionate
rates of interest help tlie debtor elans
out of their difficulty? Observation and
experience leach differently.
Theneveiy debtor wlumo home and
fai m is covered with a mbrtgage, asks,
“How can 1 get rill of my mortgage in
debtedness?” We know ol and am con
ceive of no butter way iiy which to do
that Hum Hie plain, simple way that has
broil presented millions of liluos, name
ly, quit buying provisions and produce
them at homo. This method will iu Hie
course of lime, free tlie homes ami farms
from m a tgages, anil make Hie owners
thereof prosperous and independent of
money lenders.—Monroe Advertiser,

I'llii.Aiio, November 7.—The lion.
Cluirlus F. Crisp, speaker of tho house of
representatives, arrived at the Biilmur
house last, night. In speaking of Hie re
peal light, Mi. ( l isp said:
“The house will have some very im
portant legislation before it at tlio be
ginning of the regular session in Decem
ber. Mr. Wilson’s eominitteu will iiave
its tariff liiil lemly at mi early day. The
subcommittee Inis already decided on
the rates iu tho schedule and the general
committee w : ll consider them sometime
next week.
“1 believe Mr. Wilson’s committee will
recommend a reduction of tlie tariff to a
revenue basis in accordance witli the
declarations of tho national Democratic
platform. The tax on refined sugar may
lie reduced considerably, lmt tlie tax on
whisky and beer and tobacco may In- in
creased. It. is estimated, I believe, that
an increase of t pov cent on whisky will
add $1,000,000 to tlie revenues.
“The present tax on whisky is tH) cents,
and say it is increased to $1.20; Unit
would mean an increase of $50,000,000 iu
revenues to the government.”
Speaker Crisp said that besides the
tariff bill the house would come to a vote
on the hill to take off tlie 10 per ceut.
tax on state banks.
Mr. Crisp said that, tlie Democrats
might lose a few votes iu somu sections
of tlie South on account of | assing the
repeal Dili, hut lie did not think it would
amount to anything serious, as tlie S iut.li
generally believed iu the Democratic
party. In Alabama, where the populists
are strong and where some free silver
Democracv may go over to them, tlie
Democratic party may have a more in
teresting time than usual, but he pie-
dieted no disastrous results, lie did not
think the Democrats would lose a single

Dr. Dio Lewis, the eminent Boston
physician, in u magazine article sa\s:
“A radical error underlies nearly all
medical treatment of catarrh. It is not
a disease of tlio man’s nose; it, is a dis
co c of the min, showing itself in the
nose—n local exhibition of u Constitu
tional trouble.” Therefore, he argues,
the use of snuff and other local applica
tions is wrong, mid while they seem to
give ti-mpoiii.y relief, they really do
moreJiarm than good, other leading
nut hot i» ii-*. agree with Dr. L'wis. Hence
tlie only proper method of euro for cu-
tarih is by taking ae institutional ri'inn-
dy like Hood's .Sarsaparilla, which,
teaching every part of the body through
the blond, lines eliminate all impurities
ami makes the whole man benltlilor. It
removes tlio cause of the trouble and re
stores tlie dileased membrane to prnpei
condition. That tins is tlio practical re
sult is proven by thousands ,,f people

ing Hood's Sarsaparilla.
