f he Toccoa Times
In launching tlie Toccoa Times
on the sea of journalism it is not
to “fill a long felt want,” but to
give the people of Habersham
county a worthy exponent, and, as
h side issue, to make money for its
proprietor; but in so doing iyjopcs
to treat everyone fairly, and be
treated, as by our conduct, we
deserve.
TJiisis the largest paper ever is
sued in the county, and we hope to
make it tlie newsiest as we 11 as
*riiR county paper.
We think Toccoa large enough
for two papers and when the News
gets herself out of her difficulties
and appear again, as she has so
long before, we shall welcome her
too. Two papers cannot hurt
the town, and probably will do
Toccoa more good than anything
elite that lias happened here for
years.
Now as to our politics: The
Times will be conducted in the
school of the Democratic faith, but
at the same time wc reserve the
right to call things by their right
name —a goat is a goat—not a
sheep because it wears long hair.
We arc in favor of free coinage
of silver and we want more mon¬
ey —the currency must be inflated—
but nt the same time it must be
staple.
We vfant to see silver put on a
parity 'with gold, and as Senator
Walsh says: “let England do as
•he will, we are not compelled to
toady to her”—we are large
enough to take care of our o\yn af¬
fairs and perfectly competent.
England does a very large credit
business away from home and as a
consequence she wants a single
gold standard. We think tariff for
revenue only is what the American
people want—and especially Dem¬
ocrats, and those who call them
selves Deinocruts and want protec
tion, are such poor specimens of
the Jeffersonian brand that a pow
erfui magnifying glass would be
compelled to be used to find it out.
We arc for Toccoa first, last, and
all the time. We have come here
to make this our home and we ex¬
pect to do all we can for building
up the city and this section.
If Toccoa wants the Court
House and there is an election or¬
dered for bonds, we will do what
we can to kill the bond question
and bring the Court house here.
To make a success of this enter¬
prise we must have the encouragtw
meat of every citixen of Toccoa?
WU1 you give it?
the Elections.
*‘The experiment of holding our
} election primary
state and city on
the same day worked so admirably
Yesterday, and gave such general
satisfaction that a proposition to
consolidate all of our elections will
doubtless be favorably received.
“Yesterday’s elections and pri¬
mary bad the effect of drawing out
* larger number of voters of all
SbisSs than has been the case for
many years past. Our best citi
*en* manifested a lively interest in
the work of the day, and cheerfully
end gave their
!*» a chance to go to the polls.
i» is precisely what is needed
lity with a repre
m it. If the peo
e in our local,
deral affairs there should
lest and fairest possible
of their will at every
industrious citizens Ho not like to
have so much time unnecessarily
consumed in this way. It was a
step in the right direction when
the city consolidated the city pri¬
mary wjth the state election, and
the new plan worked .so well yes¬
terday that there is a general desire
to see jt emended.
“We must still go through with
a federal election in November, a
city election in December and a
county election in January next.
This multiplicity of elections is all
wrong. Why not consolidate
jhenv? -If the legislature at its
coming session ivill pass an act
moving the state election forward
from October to the day set for the
■federal election in November, like
in almost every other state, and
appoint the same da}’ for the county
election now held in January, our
cities and towns will gladly accept
that day for their local elections.
Then there will he only one elec¬
tion day and primary day instead
of the eight days now devoted *to
those purposes.
'fv “The change will save a great
deal of time and the thousand of
voters who have been accustomed
to lose half a day or a whole day
on these eight occasions wall be the
gainers by it, and the state will
also gain by the time and produc¬
tive labor saved in this way. We
canndt think of any sound objec¬
tions to this plan, and it is to be
hoped that the next legislature
will give it due consideration.
Surely it will not be claimed that
there is any advantage in polling a
small vote at our elections. If
that is the case, then we might as
well leave the control of our affairs
to a few small rings. Of course
this is entirely opposed to the
theory and the spirit of our gov¬
ernment. The very essence of
democracy is the idea that the peo¬
ple rule, and they cannot rule un¬
less they fully express their will in
our popular elections. Anything
that tends to bring out a large vote
should be encouraged, and the full
vote polled in this county yestetday
should convince everybody of the
advantages attending the consol¬
idation of our elections.
“We believe that the suggestion
here made will be very generally
endorsed by the best people of the
state, and the next thing in order
is to shape it into practical ex¬
ecution. The new system would
prevent to u great extent the
trading of votes for the different
candidates, for the simple reason
that there would be too many of
them to make such trading effective.
Each voter would be more likely
to use his own judgment than he
is under the present system. It
will do away w ith the ward heeler
for with such a consolidation the
vest-pocket vote will prevail, and
this is the vote which is prepared
at home.”
The above we quote from the
Atlanta Constitution. *>
We say amen to the above. It
seems the people have speftt en¬
ough money and time going to and
holding elections this year to make
them forever disgusted with voting
and yet we are net through with it.
Tigs is one of the greatest im¬
positions (a that has ever been foisted
on free, people. These laws
giving lis so many different elec¬
tions certainly emanated with the
ringsters and politicians, who
made them simply to give their
hirelings and satilights ti few days
work at the state’s expense.
The Constitution has covered the
ground well, with the exception of
the expense. This expense to be
borne by the people of the state
so often amounts to thousands of
dollars every election year.
Why not stop this immense
drain on the pocket books of the
people ? ' ^ ;
Let us have one election day and
that day be the day of the year on
which the president of the United
States is elected 1

We thank cur friends for their
generous support, and in the. fu¬
ture, they will find The Times not
oiflv the largest paper irf the coun
'fyjlhitihe newsiest, and one that
will ever strive to build up the
whole county,and do all that is in
its power for the advancement of
this beloved southland,*
That thumb paper, the Advertis¬
er, read The Times a long riot act
in its first pedagogical issue
about wanting the court house
changed from a “three quarter of a
century” town to the new town of
Demorest. Clarkesville wants the
new court house because she never
did anything for the county and
Queen Victoria has Anglo-Saxon
blood -in her. • The Times said
Demorest ought to have the court
house because she was as large as
Clarkesville and was only four
years old and offered free a $15,000
court house and new brick jail.
The tax payers will have some¬
thing to say about this matter, and
if we are not badly fooled, unless
Clarkesville shells dojvn the coin
she won’t be known in the race.
That little thumb paper, the
Clarkesville Advertiser, has finally
struggled to life again and came
out confessing in blazing types
that it is edited by a former peda¬
gogue,—but now wig suppose lie is
a demogogue.
If the people of Toccoa want
the court house, we will do all in
our power to help get it. Let
them make a move in that direc¬
tion.
Dixie Fair
, At Macon, on .the 33d of this
month, there will be opened one of
the greatest fairs that has ever been
held there, and they number num¬
bers. The promoters promise to
have a very large line of attractions
from abroad as well as a very tine
state exhibit. The fair is under the
auspices of the State Agricultural
Society, which has done so much
good for Macon, and now a perma¬
nent fixture for that city, Macon
having donated, a large sum of
money to have the fair held there
annually. This will afford a pleas¬
trip for those who desire to see
more of Georgia and the farming
belt in particular.

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper , whether it be
measured by the cost of its production or by its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It’s so
cheap and so good you can't afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of ■
the world— the news you care for—every day,
and prints it in the shortest possible space. You *
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day's
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word—it’s a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west — 125,000 to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of f he Northwestern
University says: **THB CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideal daily jour¬
nal as we are for some lime likely to find
on these mortal shores. ”
