are resenting, sell them is the imitations efforts for of
some to
the real Simmons Liver Regu¬

money by little the imitation ; and
they people care that they swindle

inferior article. It’s the money
they are after, and the people can
look out for themselves. Now
this is just what the people are
doing, hard and merchants are'taving

to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg¬

Congress.
Congress did one elegant thing
when it expired Monday. Of all
ridiculous farces perpetrated
the people of this country, the
most ridiculous were the actions of
the Congress just expired. They
did nothing for the good of the
people; the President has done
nothing to endear him to the hearts
of the American people, but on
the other hand, he has shown that
he is either a tool of Wall street or
fool, or else he would not have
let a few rich men take bonds of
the government at 104 and
diately sell them at 112.J, thereby
robbfng the people of the United
States of six millions in six
minutes. '
This bond issue has given a black
eye to the Democratic party, it
would certainly- be a grand thing
if >vt> could utterly obliterate the
past two years of strife and divi
sion m our party from history—
but we are sorry we can’t.
A party that can’t work together
in unity when it has such a large
majority as the Democratic party
has had in the two houses of C011
gress, had better give way to one
that will—whatever it is. The south
has become disrupted and broken,
and the Republicans and popu-.
lists control in some States where
the Democrats ha've for years been
in power, and would yet be in
power but for this division in our
own ranks.
Something must be done, and
that soon, to bring confidence and
unity in the grand old party of our
fathers.
What will it be?
A Tiger Caught.
' Mayor Matherson is out gunning
for blind tigers. On Saturday An¬
dy Dockins was arrested charged
with illegal sale of'liquor in the
town.
Dockins plead guilty and was
lined $100 and cost or 30 days on
the streets. On appeal to the coun¬
cil the sentence was sustained.
The prisoner said he would ap¬
peal to the Superior court, and
asked to be allowed to secure a
bondsman., Dockins in charge of
Officer Renney and Deputy Jackson
spent several hours hunting up
some one to go on the bond, finally
securing'C. S. Christian.
In the meantime Jackson had
gone home, and while Renney’s
attention was directed to the sign¬
ing of the bond in Christian’s st^re,
Dockins alipped out the side en¬
trance and took leg bail down the
alley and disappeared in the woods
of the Simpson house. In his
headlong flight he ran over a negro
woman and prostrated several
lengths of barbed wire fence.
It is said that Dockins has con¬
ducted a blind tiger here for a year
past, yet so well has he managed
to cover op his tracks, that it
hot until a regular detective was
placed upon his trail that he
caught.
Officer Renney has been
ed from the pplice force for
ing the escape of hi#
pending an investigation by the
lice
lay of last
$25 and costs or 35 days on the
streets, for the illegal sale of liquor.
Ben. is a well known character, and
an qld offender, and his settling
of the sentence is fully in keeping
with his reputation.
After spending five days in the
lock-up, he settled the balance in
part with cash and two hogs,
ing still unpaid $5.50, for which he
gave as security a bull, which is
now in the custody of T. S. Davis,
chairman of the committee on pub
lie property.
The Mayor deserves the encour¬
agement and support of all law
abiding citizens in his efforts to stop
the illegal sale of liquor in our
town. ’
That Colony.
Would it not be a good idea for
the citizens of-Toccoa to call a
meeting to see what can be done
toward securing the, Pennsylvania
colony to settle in and immediately
around Toccoa ? This colony wants
to establish a high grade college
and wherever they locate they will
not only improve the section in
which they live, but the college
establish will be an ornament to
any city. '
What does Toccoa need more
than a good college? Beside the
good it would do our city in indqc
ing people to settle among us, it
would bring a large number of
scholars from a distance to board
in our hotels and private families,
Tugalo offers the land and will
probably build and donate a large
and handsome building for a college
if the colony will settle there.
Can Toccoa sit idly by and let
Tugalo outbid her?
We think not.
Would not the people who have
subscribed the $1,000 to have an
auditorium built here rather give
that money toward a college? It is
not too late and something must be
done. 1.
An agent of the colony will be in
Toccoa in a day or so to‘inspect our
country and town.
Will we let him go away with¬
out trying to get him to name Toc¬
coa as the place the Pennsylvania
colony will settle?
We hope not!

from a countryman’s wagon last
week. He carried them home and
placed them in a coop, giving them
the freedom of the yard the next
morning. At noon the drake waa
gone. Passing Vickery Bros.’
store in the afternoon Mr. Burgess
discovered hia drake sitting on top
of the identical coop from which
he had been purchased the day be
fore, and talking duck talk to
fellows inside. The purchase
made in front of Dance’s store.
The remainder of the ducks,

THE COTTON MARKET.
Hubbard, Trice & Co’s., Cotton Circular.
New York, March 1,
A discouraged, disheartened
market is the condition of the cot
ton mafrket at the present time.
The volume of the .eceipts has
shown an incrcase beyond what
was expected as the natural re
bol|nd from the curta il m -nt of the
movement, caused by the severe
weather throughout the South
in the latter part of January
and the first weeks of February.
This has brought about a liquida¬
tion, which, in some instances, has
proceeded until it has been com¬
plete, and the cotton found lodg¬
ment in other hands. The factors
weighing upon the market at the
present time show little or no
change in their bearing upon prices,
as everyone is waiting to learn
whether the South will readily de¬
crease its acreage this year, or
whether it is simply another ex¬
pression of sentiment to be fol¬
lowed by an actual planting to the
utmost ability of the planter. Ad¬
vices from the South, however,
lead us to believe that the reduction
in acreage will be larger than is
expected by the majority of the
trade. It seem? as though the dis
couragement which exists here is
only intensified the further one
proceeds sotith of Mason and
Dixon’s line regarding any im
provement in the value of cotton,
and as the South was enabled last
year, for the first time in our re¬
collection, to dispose of any crop
besides cotton for cash, it is pro¬
bable that the planter will do his
utmost to raise other crops, either
tobacco, corn, oats, peas or various
other local crops, which have a
value above that given by cotton
at 4 cents per pound. On the
other hand, it must be confessed
that the movement of the crop has
been upon such a scale as to stun
those who up to this time have
entertained a favorable opinion of
the market, based upon the idea
that the crop would not exceed 9,-
500,000 bales, and that therefore
the amount to be carried over
would not be so excessive as it now
promises to show. There is little
or no disposition throughout the
country to speculate in any enter¬
prise, and probably this apathy
and lack of hopefulness on the
part of the community was pever
more pronounced than at the pre¬
sent time. From such periods
there is always a rebound, and it
is this reaction which conservative
merchants on both sides of the
water are anxiously looking for.
The market which digests as much
cotton as has been thrown upon
this market during the past three
months, without materially weak¬
ening the price,*%as either reached
the bottom, or else is on the eve of
a further break to a lower level of
prices. Experience has shown
that a market which remain# dull
either after a long period of ac¬
tivity at high prices, or a period
of dullness at low prices, changes
its ground 'very quickly, and the
minor fluctuation# which have oc
curred during the past six weeks
are due to tile knowledge of this
feature of the market , for tbc ^

tbe market, but at a loss to him¬

remains for him to decide whether
be will continue to lose money by
producing cotton at these prices,
