VOL. II. The Times W. Al. Fowler, Editor and Weekly at $i a Year THE PULLMAN STRIKE Never did a strike change more quickly.from a public inconvenience to a national calamity, as the pres¬ ent Pullman strike. It began at Pullman, Ill., May 6, more than two months ago, and has been in continuous and successful operas tion, so far as the strike itself is concerned, ever since, only the strikers grow more violent each diy and the measures used by them more desperate. The traffic of the west is tied up and the whole country, in conste quence, feels’the effect, and Chica¬ go is a seething bed of anarchism. Human lives have in the past few dtys been ruthlessly slaughtered, the soldiers shooting a number of the strikers down. On the other hand, the strikers have burned up hundreds of railroad cars, railroad tracks, etc. The city and state authorities were, powerless to handle the mob and government of¬ ficers in Chicago asked President Cleveland for regular soldiers. This has been granted. The president also issued a proclamation that un less all lawless acts were ceased by 13. o’clock, Mdnday last, he would give orders to fire. Monday morning things looked better for the peaceful ending of the strike. Some trains began to under the protection of t[. S. soldiers add things assumed a brighter aspect. Tuesday there were great changes in the strike on all sides. The gov¬ ernment is grasping thd situation with a mailed hand and exerting every effort to restore quiet. The city is on the eve of a revolution; streets are thronged with people wearing significant emblems and au<T signs seem to point to a gen¬ eral upheaval.

It is time this rebellion was put down and We now say Cleveland is more of a patriot than we -had given him credit for. All honor to Cleveland. Immigration is not only falling off m numbers, but emigration to Europe has greatly increased with in the past few months. The causes which have led to this dhange are twin-fold. The financial depression, the decline of manufactures and a constant decrease, of employment for workingmen and their families; these and the turning of theftide of emigration from the United‘States to Africa and other counties has wrought th* difference bet ween this and former years- Many foreigners bijber no doubt, who come with no ie money and Sr r± ; muhwed rity mtthfem retoceoM the ocean. ■ Indie -*»' rity dfttMgijin? for revis ■I w , V % 4 Si* * " i ijrj % ML ^ m - ' v. r • ggl ftp ffl BSSg m TM -m" •=•••" m?wm ~ M v * fcm M i 1 m ASi ■ Rf ■ 7 t^ y* >- DEHOREST, HABERSHAM COUNTY, QA., JULY 13 , * 1894 . directly, to anarchist influence. The previous outrages comniited in the republic by the anarchies furnish an excellent basis for any new hatred that may be aroused against this lawless and dangerous class, and it will not be surprising to learn, at an early day, that anarch¬ ism no longer has a foothold in France. Later intelligence shows that Santo was the chosen instru¬ ment of a foul conspiracy. In the senate recently the income tax bill was passed. This is a good measure. When the whiskey schedules were under discussion, a hazardous amendment offered 1 by Senator Hoar was tentatively ac¬ cepted, which permits the use of untaxed alcohol and spirits in man¬ ufacturing,including the manufact¬ ure of medicines. When the en¬ tire bill came before the senate for disposition, an amendment making the sugar schedules go into opera ation immediately, was carried. This requires the sugar trust to pay the tux ort all raw sugar purchased after the passage of the act, instead of having six months in which to accumulate an untaxed stock. What greater humiliation ever befell any state of the union’ than that which came to Nort h Dakota when her governor telegraphed to Debs asking permission to bring the state militia back by rail from the state encampment? , ’ Men’s Shoes ere selling nt Cost at Starkweather’s Shoe Store. The Cbautamqua. The next sessidri of the North East Georgia Chautauqua is expect¬ ed to eclipse all former attempt* of this nature in this part of the sttfte. 1 President Sliaw is making difos for some of tiie greatest attractions that has ever been -ip.- a southern chautauqua. One of the four great¬ est violinists in the United States will be here, and' a contract has been made for the grandest display of fireworks on the lake ever seen in Georgia, outside of Atlanta, and on that day a grand excursion will be run from all parts of the state, bringing thousands of people to the city. Arrangements are being perfected by which a daily paper will be issued during the chautauqua to be called the Assembly Herald, at 2 cents per copy or 10 cents for the whole session. The Herald will be four pages, and just half as large as The Times and will give all the official news, notices and pro¬ grammes, beside the local nevjrs of the day. It is desired that every family in the city take as many paper* daily as possible and'send to friends out of the city so as to acU vertise both the chautauqua 'and Demorest. . - . From Texaa It gives us a great deal of pleas¬ ure and a certain amount of pride to print the extract below from the Decatur (Wise county, Texas) News, on which paper we learned the art of printing, and if we understand the business at’all, we owe it to L. W. Tyler, for whom we commenced work some thirteen years ago: “The editor of the News was considerably surprised the other day to receive a copy of the Demo best Times, Demorest, Ga., with the _____of W.‘ Allen Fowler as and proprietor ot its bead. W. Allen FoWler was formerly a resident of Aurora, Wise being a son 4- 4 < * > V 4 4 ■ y •; -s A 5,000 Mile Trip (Continued from last week) There are many unmistakable signs that this valley has undergone some very great changes. First it appears to have been the bottom of an arm of the ocean. This con elusion is arrived at by the fact that 300 to 500 feet of sand and gravel stone formation and thirty to fifty feet of fine alluvial deposit covers the whole valley. Then, also, it appears that the whole country has been fearfully torn and shaken by volcanic eruptions, which is at¬ tested by the many high and barren lava peaks. It also appears that the country was at some remote time very thickly populated, which is proven by the ruins of villages and water ways to be seen every ¬ where. • Cushing and others estimate that this population reached as high as 10,000,000, whereas, now there is no trace, except these scattered ruins, oj this once dawning civili¬ zation of America before the time of Columbus. But in these ruins of that mysterious age the student finds the lesson of how little man¬ kind really knows of his race. That the country is capable of supporting a great population there can be no doubt, the efforts of the last twenty years are positive evi¬ dence of that. 4 - y „ Whil^ thetfe is an erroneous opin¬ ion in ' the minds of many > that Arizona is a desert waste incapable Of reclamation, -the truth is there is no nlprc fertile section in the whole country;, and it only needs the application of water to produce untold results. The man with a quarter section of land and a good water supply-ii> the Salt River valley is to be envied, as bis independence of the world is assured. But water is king, and everything else depends on the water supply. The supply at pres¬ ent is limited and is a great bone of contention. One half of the litiga¬ tion of the country is over water. The man who can get his neigh¬ bor’s supply of water, makes an extra crop, as every application means a crop. Everything grows here, from strawberries to cotton. ’ Alfalfa or Chilian clover is probably the great¬ est success and the most profitable farm product, as It grows contin¬ uously the year around, affording fine feed for horses, cattle,hogs, etc All the necessaries of life are raised ■4 and are reasonably cheap. Last season Phoenix shipped to other markets 400,000 pounds of honey, 22,000 head beef cattle and 50,000 tons of hay . 4 V •The climate of the valley is warm and dry, frost being seldom liefest and the rain-fall about six inches per year, A cloudless sky is the rule and a cloudy day the excep¬ tion. Owing to these facts all persons suffering from consumption and catarrhal or pulmtnary diseases are pretty apt to find relief.

(Continued next week.) A PEDAGOGICAL CONVENTION About Seventy Teachers Spend a Week In Demdrest. In persuance of a call of County School Commissioner Blair the teachers of Habersham couhty met in convention Monday, and, in the the Normal school building of the city of Demorest, Y The exercises opened by a few appropriate remarks from Commis¬ sioner Blair to the effect that >the purpose of the institute is tha't of learning how to teach others and that if all have met with that object in view we shall have a suc¬ cessful week's work,but if we have (ome together simply because the la tv Requires it we cannot expect to get muqh benefit from our associa¬ tion. He then introduced Prof. Reynolds, of Milledgeville, Ga., who had been previously chosen as expert for the institute. ‘••A The professor’s introductory' re¬ marks were very appropriate and suggestive. He sought to do^ just what any teacher should do on his first day in schgtjl,-and that is to establish between hhtaself and his pupils a friendly relationship—-a mutual feeling that the success of future work does not depend on the .teacher alone or on the pupils alone, but on the hearty co-opera¬ tion of both. - <}> The institute then proceeded with its work, following with slight modifications the syllabus furnished by State Commissioner Brad well. Professors Jennings, Ayers, Frankuin, Frye and Van Hfee were appointed by Commis¬ sioner Blair to assist the expert when necessary in conducting the work and they rendered very ef¬ ficient aid. I believe I voice the sentiments of all the tea&Mjjrs / in atterfderice when I say that Professor Reynolds in his introductory talk made a good impression and that he has constantly grown in their estima¬ tion from the first. The f readiness with which he takes hold of the work proves him to be master of the situation, the thoroughness with which he treats his subject matter is evidence that his educa¬ tion has not been superficial' and the attention with which hi* in¬ structions are listened to are an as¬ surance that the teachers feel that they have not made a mistake in the choice of an expert. ./'* For some years Prof. Reynold* has occupied the chair of English in the Milledgvillc Military 'Col¬ lege. He is a teacher of twenty four years experience add a gradu¬ * ate of Mercer University,' A# the glorious fourth approached the patriotism of the teacher* waj» manifested in a unanimous vote to adjourn and celebrate the anniver¬ sary of American liberty. The work of the institute was resumed , on Thursday morning. At the opening of the exbreise* Mrs. Moore, of Atlanta, read a very excellent paper on physical culture.
