GARRARD, off MUSCOGEE. 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 ■*1 Ht it, or the I-A % I „ a 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. How’s This?

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. ” Sold by newsdealers everywhere, and sub¬ scriptions received by all postmasters.
