VOL. III. The Populist Platform. From the Nebraska State Journal. ]t's a heap of consolation, this general stag¬ nation, when w© find a fellow mor¬ tal, an official; or a State, That we can just get a shot at, curse, be¬ labor, anil get hot at—We can stand ' so. much the better the unhappy frowns of fate. HowJt fosters resignation if the tide of im¬ migration Strands our bark upon a sand bar, where it seldom rains or snows. To attribute lack of rations to the banks and corporations—how the fireside faces brighten I wliat intelligence it shows! . What we want's a clap of thunder tluit will burst the banks asunder—a division of the plunder is the tiling for which we sigip help But to talk of thrift of labor, that may to feed my neighbor, but for me, I must confess, it’s a little bit too dry. I’m a true-born politician, and it plainly is my mission, to secure a seat in Con¬ gress when my bleeding country calls. That is why I am engaging in the war the Pops are waging, though the north west winds are raging in my summer overalls. Mart Howe. Hon. Carter Tate. lion. F. Carter Tate the present able member and candidate for re election to Gongress from the Ninth district, addressed the citi zens of Toccoa and surrounding section in, Matheson’s Hall last Saturday night. Owing to the limited notice given of the speak¬ ing, and it being on Saturday night, when the business njen are .busy, the audience was not so large as it would otherwise have been. This was Mr. Tates first time to speak to these people, and the im¬ pression made on all who heard him was very fine, in fact the uni¬ versal opinion is, that, his ability us a statesman has been very much underrated. The speech was not what the world terms a “silver tongued” oration, but was "something,far bet¬ ter, it was a plain, common sense statement of facts, well delivered and easily understood by all. His speech was devoted.mainly to the record of the last Congress, showing that they had been earnest¬ ly laboring for the people and had succeeded, notwithstanding the op¬ position of the enemies of Democ¬ racy in enacting various legisla¬ tions that saved to the common people millions of dollars. Mr. Tate had been present at every roll call, and had not dodged a single vote. He paid his respects to the popu¬ list members of Congress and prov¬ ed by the records that they had proposed legislation, had it been passed whicji would cost the United States more money than there is in the United States. Another mak ing an appropriation to “test the ad¬ visability of plowing and hoeing by electricity. Another making all lands the common inheritance of a.H the peo pie—providing,however,if you had built you a house on your land and some other fellow concluded to take your land, he must pay you for your house. This was very condescending in that great states¬ man, but we fail to see why the house should not be taken for noth¬ ing as well as the land that^you have paid your money for. Mr Tate’s visit here made his friends much stronger for him, and his majority at this box on the 6th of November will'be a handsome one. The Circus is Coming. Walter L. Main’s grandest and best shows on earth will exhibit in this city on November 5th. Toc¬ coa will have within its limits one of the largest and best railroad shows of the present day. For several days agents of the Walter L. Main’s Grandest and Best Shows on Earth have been with us contracting bill boards, lots, livery, feed, hotel, etc., and now everything is in readiness for. the first advance car. No other circus in the world has grown like Mr. Main’s enterprise, and a week ago when he visited Cleveland, Ohio, for trfb days over people visited Ins shows and wm*-& ■B--S*-# ' 4 l TUB TOCCOA . j ^ ^ — —.

Here is what the Cleveland \ papers said of Mr. Main’s shows : It was one of the largest and best circuses ever in Cleveland.—Lead er. The entire show will be in Toc¬ coa on Nov. 5th* and everybody should make arrangements to see the Grandest and Best on Earth. Excursion rates will be given on all railroads, and this will be made a gala day. The Senatorial Race. J * The Senatorial race seems to lie an uncertain quantity just now.. There are four arrowed candidates with their friends “soft soaping” the members of the State Senate and Legislature, each one claiming that he will most surely draw the lucky number. Major Bacon and his friend are more sanguine than the others, claiming that if the Ma¬ jor does not get elected on the first ballot, he will “most.” Congress¬ man Turner and his friends say if they have’n’t got as much grea.se in them as “Bacon,” they have near¬ ly so. \ Garrard and His friends say “us tpo. ■5 5 While your uncle Patrick Walsh and his friends are so mod est they only claim-,twelve \otes on the first ballot, but givey notice that they will make tl\efiij/fly on the second, as they are the second choice of more folks, than anyone cise that .to be.iSenatorv All of the candidates are able men, and would honor Georgia by represent¬ ing her in the United States Sen¬ ate. The vole as given by those who claim to be in a position to know, is—Bacon 60, Turner 56, Garrard' 38, Walsh 12, but when the tiling is over this vote ^jnay be changed. If th.e people elect Garrard Geor¬ gia wi!i have just cause to feel grateful and indeed exceedingly proud. Garrard is a man in whom there is no political’blemish and a true Democrat who has never stul tified himself, and who would guard the interests of the people of Georgia as lie would guard his own ho nor.Elect Garrard and brainsand make the people of Georgia once again feel preud that they are Georgians! * Mr. John Tabor, the popular salesman, who has been with J. L. Martin for a number of years, has resigned his position with Mr. Mar¬ tin, to accept a clerkship with Edwards & Bush a. Mr. Henry Crawford, from near Avalon, is working for The Toc¬ coa Banking Co. Mr. Thos. D. Collins of Law renceville, has moved with his family to this place, and occupies the house known as the church house belonging to Rev. P. S. Whitman. We want to impress upon our readers that the mercliants who advertise in The Times will always give you better bargains than other people. They buy large stocks of goods and they want to gfct rid of them, hence they advertise—and hence they are cheap. Try them. sold The Toccoa News outfit was at Clarkesville on the 19th for $135. Messrs. Edwards & Keese bought the plant in mortgage notes. They have not yet decided wha't they will do with the outfit. Mr. George W. Edwards has bought out the Spoke ^d Handle factory and is now operating some. Col. J. W. Owen visited Clarks¬ ville Thursday. Mr. T. W.

Much attention has been attract¬ ed by the great offer of the South¬ ern Pacific Company of New Or¬ leans. They are making a free distribution 'Of-- books to advertise their wonderful new train now running from New Orleans to the Pacific Coast, and which is said to be the finest, fastest and most lux¬ uriously appointed train ever con¬ structed. The train consists of a composite car/in which is embrac¬ ed a barber shop, bath room, li¬ brary, ©afe and smoking parlor, a dining car, in which meals are served at all hours, day or night, passengers- paying only for what they order ; also, a full complement of Pullman’s latest and most mag¬ nificent drawing-room sleeping cars. The speed of this railway wonder, covering the vast distance between New Orleans and Lps Angeles in 60 hours, and to San Francisco in 77 hours, has never been attempted or equalled. Con¬ trary to the usual practice of other great railway lines, no expense will be incurred other than the cus* tomary first-class ticket and sleep¬ ing-car fare for traveling on this superb train. “Now westward Sol has sent the richest beams of*noon's high glory.” And much of civilized America is following rapidly in his train, seeking homes, wealth and health in California. The great Sunset Route, South¬ ern Pacific, is now the favorite one with those familiar with the differ¬ ent lines of Western travel; and its management, gratefully recogniz¬ ing the ready appreciation which the traveling public has shown their excellent fast-train service, embracing through Pullman and Tourist sleeping-car facilities in the past, and which will be continued from Cincinnati, Chicago and New Orleans, h^ve determined to outdo the. most splendid railway achievements, and to provide their patrons with a combination of luxury and comfort hitherto un¬ equalled. To this end the mag¬ nificent train, “Sunset Limited,” taking its name from the solar lu¬ minary, whose path across valley and plain and over hill and moun¬ tain it follows "with the speed of the w ind, has been put on between New Orleans, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Leaving both terminals every Thursday during the season of 1894-95, passing through the balmiest regions in all America, delightful even in Jan¬ uary, “fleeing city” covers gulf to coast in a trifle over two days. Every comfort of home is found in the luxurious vestibuled coaches— dining, sleeping and composite— which comprise “Sunset Limited,” and the scenery along this line is unsurpassed. Few further particu¬ lars, addressS. F. B. Mouse, Gen’I Pass’r Agent, New Orleans, La. A Happy flarriage. Col. A. H. McAllister with his bride, to whom he was married in Dalton Ga., October 4th, arrived in Toccoa Tuesday last from an ex¬ tended and pleasant bridal tour through Kentucky, Indiana, and other states. The bridal party consist of Mr. and Mrs. McAllister, Mrs. B. F. Frazier and children, and a little son of Mrs. McAllister. They will remain in the city with rela¬ tives ten days before going to Dal¬ ton, and as soon as satisfactory business arrangement can be con¬ summated, will return here and make Toccoa their permanent home.. Mrs. McAllister was a Mrs. Tay¬ lor, the very efficient and popular postmistress of Dalton, Ga., where she has many friends that will regret her removal from that city to this. Col. McAllister is a leading and has popular citizen of this city who hosts of friends that congratulate him on his happy union, and will be glad to know that Toccoa is still to be his home. Edwards & Dance are having - a Jr r . .-..c ? .... -cales put up in - front of their store on Sage street. It has been suggested that our city' dads change the name of Sage street to Scales street. EDITORIAL NOTES ^ Keep your eye on the “Pops.” It is rumored that they will repeat their tactics of circulating bogus circulars perporting to comer from democratic headquarters on the eve of election. Be prepared on short notice to .smash the life out of all unfair means resorted to, by the “high moral” party’on the eve of elec¬ tion, to secure the vote of the un¬ suspecting for their candidates. When J. Newton Twitty goes above the river he tells the people that he will come up to the river with 2,000 majority. And when J. Newton Twittv goes below the river he tells, the people that he will come down to the river with 2,000 majority. We suppose J, Newton means the river he used to think the Capi¬ tol was located on, and is it not very probable that J. Newton is as badly “off” on his majorities as he was about the location of the Capi¬ tol. The sixth of November will tell “ah, J. Newtie.” Hon. JT Newton Twitty untrilcT" may be a good man, but he is Hon. Carter Tate has been tried and found to be the friend of the common people. Therefore Mr. Tate will be elected on the 6th of November, and Newt left at home Hon. Carter Tate favors an ex¬ pansion of the currency and all other practical legislation looking to the interest of the common peo¬ ple, as his record in Congress will show, consequently he will be re¬ turned to Congress on the 6th of November by a handsome majority. Hon. Carter Tate is the servant of the people. He staid at his post during the two years of his mem¬ bership in Cpjngrcss, not missing a roll call or dodging a vote. Such a record is a rare thing, and w'ill be endorsed by the people on the 6th of November. Col. W. B. Thomas, who for a number of years operated the Blue Ridge & Atlantic railroad, from Cornelia to Tallulah Falls, has been appointed eceiver of the At¬ lanta & Florida railroad. When J. Newton Twitty makes the statement above the river that he will come to that stream with 2,000 majority, he does it presum¬ ing that the “Pops” of Jackson (his home county) will be able to vote 10,000 by the process of re¬ peating, importing and other ille¬ gal means practiced so successfully in the late State election. Jackson, the home county of J. Newt. Twitty, voted iri the state election 700 more votes than there is poll tax payers in the county. Thereupon J. Newton Gushed to the mountain counties and yelled i t I’m coming to the branch with 2,000 majority.” OufMjnimb paper friend,the Ad¬ vertiser, trieXto be funny again and remarks that “we may conclude to advertise The Toccoa Times if wq are sure they have at last loca¬ ted.” We have moved once and have never suspended. The head of the editor of the Advertiser still remains soft. The Advertiser can’t advertise anybody or any¬ thing, as is conclusively proven by Clarkesville merchants standing aloof and not giving that penny sheet but one single advertisement and it is so small it can scarcely be seen.
