VOL. HI. GOV. NORTHEN Writes a Letter to 1 he Times De tailing: His Plans for Advertising Georgia. Atlanta, Ga., November 5, 1*894. Mr. W. A. T'owjer, Toccoa.Ga. Editor The Toccoa Tnir.s. Dear Sir :—In reply to your in quifties as to my views upon gration, 1 beg to say that I am now actively engaged in the work of bringing into this^Sta-te a desirable class of settlers, with a view to building up the material interests of the State, and insuring for its people'll larger share of prosperity an d progress than they have here tofore enjoyed. I shall make this my life work. I have always been, greatly interested in the upbuild ing of tiie State, and have since been convinced that the only way this could be secured was. through the bringing into the State new blood and more money. We need more people and a new class of people, and we need more man ey and money invested in develop ing the vast natural wealth of Geor gia. Georgia is now given up to one or two industries ; such as farm ,ing, mining, milling, and the manufacture- of cotton. We need diversified farming, and the inten¬ sive fanning that.U possible only on small holdings. Instead of rais ing more cotton than we can sell, and even selling what we can at ruinous prices, we should raise stock, fruits, grasses, vegetables for the northern market,, wheat, provision crops, and other agricultural products that are¬ as well suited to our soil ami ate, and which offer to our fanners and gardeners surer and belter comes from their holdings. The large farms could very profitably be cut into smaller farms, and thus support from three to four limes as many people in our rural districts. I am confident that thisMvotjkl not only greatly increase the tion of the State, but would ly enhance values of rural ty, reduce the burden of taxation, and insure prosperity to our people. I believe that the best—and only way to bring this about is to induce a good class of settlers to come to this State. We could place the agricultural classes and the gar¬ deners upon the farms of the State, and wc could interest those who come with money in the vast op portunities offered for profitable-in¬ vestment in manufacturing. I think that the future of Georgia is assured, and that it will be hastened and'brightened by just the methods I am pursuing, of bringing good people into the State, and in in¬ teresting capital to invest in the growing industries and help in de¬ veloping the great natural w-ealth of our section. I am now- trying to advertise every county of the State. I am appointing agents to represent the Bureau, and am urging upon them he necessity of having their coun¬ ties thoroughly advertised all over the North and West. It is my pur¬ pose to secure as large subscrip¬ tions as may be possible from each county for this purpose, The lo cal agent in each county will fur¬ nish me with such advertising mat¬ ter as will be of interest and bene¬ fit to intending settlers; and this matter will then be puplished by me *nd distributed all through the northwestern section of our coun try, as well as in the northern and eastern. The expense of this work xCill be very heavy and it is with a view of aiding the distribution of such matter that subscriptions will be solicited from the several coun¬ ties. V You are firing in one of the best sections of Georgia; a section rich in natural wealth, and in possibili¬ ties. You have everything neces¬ sary to make a prosperous and hap¬ py people. You need others to help you develop your resources .and help build up the industries HE TOCCOA TIMES TOCCOA, HABERSHAM COUNTY, GA., NOVEMBER 9* 1894. arc sailed to your locality. You have vratef power and a healthy, and salubrious, climate. But you need money uv establish manufacturing enterprises. Your section is not sufficiently known. should be widely advertised, and the Georgia Immigration and In¬ vestment Bureau, of which I am Man age r, will be in position to ad vevtise any and every section of the State in the most thorough and ad vantageous manner. I am trying to bring a sobeitf-kulustrious, enter prising class of settlers to Georgia, I shall advertise the resources and attractions', of the State with this view ;*ahd I expect to be successful in bringing thousands of good pco pie-and thousands of paying capi tal into tire State. Your -section* should take an interest in this work ; and I hope that your paper may be instrumental in impressing upon the people of north Georgia the lie ecssity for such work, and in stimu luting them to aid inc in' the effort to advertise the advantages of the State, 1 will be glad to receive aid from them in (he shape of liter ature, or otherwise ; and shall do my best to make full returns in the way of securing for that section good immigrants and good invest- ; ors. Thanking you for your kindness in this matter, and wishing you success in your efforts in the educa¬ tion and upbuilding of the people, I am, Very truly, etc., W. ]. Nouthkn, Manager. V We Win. Thk Tl.MKsis happy to announce success of Toccoa's candidate for sheriff. Mr. A. M. Gri'oble won the nomination over all competitors by sixitv-tl: roe vote*, and, too, over men who have *often ran for office aiu i were well known alj over the county. This was the first time Mr. Gribblc ever ran for a county office, and we are proud to know a ncw ,n;>a U 4©'go kito-difBee.. Mr. dribble will give satisfaction to all, atu i. v ,iH conduct the office in a NV;1V t h.»t will add credit to both himself and the office. Toccoa gave him a good vote and her promise in Giihblc’s behalf lor faithful performance of diyfy, with his own popularity, won him the nomination. Henry Hopkins was beaten by- a small majority. Henry is well liked by the people who know him as the vote given him here will show, but he was a novice in electioneering and his successful op¬ ponent a man who had run several times and consequently was well known to the people. The county missed getting a good officer when she turned dow n Hop¬ kins. We are satisfied wfith the ticket in full and shall vote it straight, but it has come to us__that there are some people at Clarkesville who run in this primary have said they would not support the nominees. If you are a true demo¬ crat vou will. When the people up in the mountains want office they make a big fight for Toccoa, but when Toccoa asks for a fair division of office there is a mighty howl set up. It is stated that the prohibition candidate for sheriff wants the en¬ dorsement of the Populists, and if he gets it he will make a big tight for the office. To be forewarned is to be forearmed : Democrats of Habersham county know their duty and will do it! Justice Court. Justice Goode held court Wed¬ nesday, the case being J. N. Duke, the executor of the Estate of J. M. Duke, deceased, versus Zadick Wilbanks, possessory warrant. Judgement in favor of defendant for cost. Hon. M.T.

There arc said to be about i,S6o polls in the county and this election shows 1,443 democrats, and 436 populists. The consolida ted return^ show Tate, for con gress got 1,360 votes against 436 for Twitty. The democrats of Habersham must support the nominees, Do not let a few fellows who were beaten insist upon you not doing all you can for democratic success. If you are a good democrat you won’t. Let the soreheads do their own croaking, “There is life in the old land yet.” Two Georgians. ~Mr. Clyde Shropshire and Mr. _ Donald , , T Harper , are achieving . . . much , 1 glory in l’aris. Atluntians . and l Georgians who were abroad past summer bring back glow ing reports of their success. Both are recognized as shining fights in the American colony and hold their own with the wittiest French j women and the foreign nobility. - At a recent swell* wedding break-: fast in Paris ill honor of Mr. James, of the French banking house of Drexel, Hqrgcs & Co., and his beau tiful American bride, Mr. Shrop¬ shire and Mr. Harper were- among select company of 100 guests. Mr. Harper responed to the toast, “The American Girl,” which must have been a bright gem, judging from the reports of applause and compliments lavished upon it. Georgia girls who arc acquainted with Mr. Harper can judge fro™ his well known gallantry how famously he must have risen to the occasion and how well he acquitted himself. “The Mother-in-law’ was Mr. Shropshire’s toast. Of coarse he made a hit, as he always does when he speaks. . , ^ Mr. Shropshire as vice consul general for the United States at Paris has won much fame for him¬ self and sustained himself most a d . mirably. A prominent Frcnc cb lawyer recently said i t\ Washington that Mr. Shropshire was the best official this government ever had in He discharges his duties ably and promptly and to the satis¬ faction of all concerned. Mr. Har¬ per lias bright prospects in his pro¬ fession of the law. He is associated with Hon. Arthiy E Y r alois, the foremost lawyer at the Paris bar.

There was - quite* a slump in the Democratic party last Tuesday, e can hear that dull thud—like something had dropped,way down here. Senator Hill. Senator Hill developed all the qualities of a bull terrier in his fight against fate. He has emerged front his tight as full of “scrap iron” as ever and ready next set-to. All the news- papers with few exceptions were against hip*and the job was a big one, but like the democrat that he is he made the fight of his life, and lost. Tammany was no friend, as that old feline had all slip could do lodging brickbats on its own ac count and slie, too, lost. Hill’s only friend, real and true, was the American spirit which runs oiff to the under-dog in the fight—and which he proved to be. That spirit was admirable in it¬ self, but upon analysis it is always found more productive of senti ment than of votes. New York was not all the state that was lost—every state that vo ted’was lost. All politicians have diagnosed the case and each liaye a different 7 name for the disease. V Ve can only find one name and that, viz : Pure cussedness of the American people. Both houses of Congress will be re p U blican. The New Pastor. Rev. II. C. Fennel of Lounds ville, S. C., lias accepted the call to the Pastorate of the Presbyterian church at this place and will occu py the pulpit on the first Sabbath in December. Mr. Fennel is an earnest worker and has been a very successful pastor to his charge. Toccoa extends a cordial wel¬ come to him and his family. Mr. Fennel w ill occupy the Manse Otl the south side of the Railroad, the late residence of G. W. Edwards. 1 Hon.

Hoke Smith, Secretary of the Interior, a letter from the Belgian minister, favorable to the Congo exhibit which is to be placed at the Exposition by the King of Belgium. This feature may be considered assured, and it completes the life history of the negro at the Exposi¬ tion. It will be interesting to glance at the outlines of this his¬ tory. First comes the negro in his native state as shown by the Con¬ go exhibit and the first features of the panorama in the Negro build¬ ing. Then come the negro’s period of tutelage in bondage, his struggle up to citizenship after emancipa tion, and finally his attempt at self government in Liberia, We now send back to Congress an honest and conscientious repre fcirWivh, NO. 16.
