THE TIMES
Official Paper of the City of Toccoa and Coun¬
ty of Habersham.
Let Us Have Peace.
Under the above caption the
Gainesville Cracker throws up
both hands and cries for “peace,
but at the same time it is the leader
of all this racket. The editorial is
on the right line, but it was fired
from the wrong mortar.
Among other things the Cracker
says: -
But here are Brethren Perry and
Rucker up to the throat-latch in a
red hot discussion as to whether a
certain man could be elected to
congress or not. A Marietta cor
respondent affects to have un¬
earthed a slate with marks and hcir
oglyphics pointing to Who, which
and what concerning pertain offices.
Brother Fowler of the Toccoa
Times and the Dahlonega Signal
man are looking askance in this
direction, ruffling up their neck
feathers like a hen when she sees a
hawk, and giving little intermit¬
tent cackles. These are only a few
of the evidences of threatened
trouble.
We agree with the Cracker “that
we must have peace,” but know of
no one that could set a better ex¬
ample than the Cracker, The
friends of the different tall timber
that is likely to be struck by
congressional lightning are not go¬
ing to be quiet and let the Cracker
trot out its candidate ready for
the race, which it has probably
been grooming for sometime, and
thus get the start by several lengths
Therefore, we nominate Col. J.
W. Robertson of Habersham coun¬
ty, for congress from the ninth
Georgia district.
- There is not a broader minded
man in the district,or state,or a man
who is more capable of represent¬
ing our people than Col. Robert¬
son. He is the friend of the work
ing classes and could win with all
ease if left to a vote of the people.
It is high time that good solid
citizens were put into these
offices of power and trust, instead
of so many small calibered,jack-leg
lawyers, who usually prove to be
running sores, a carbuncle on the
body politic; they succeed only in
sucking the very life blood from
every office they hold, big or little,
and leave noth ing but a dry and
rotten carcass.
We demand a square shuffle and
a new deal. It is time, gen tie men,
you were showing your hands if
you think you have a royal straight
on Carter’s seat.
The Japanese Ind em nity.
The latest advices from Asia show
little more than that Japan will in
«ist that the indemnity demanded
of China shall be paid in gold and
alao that the cession of Part Arthur
snd Formosa.to the mikado’s em¬
pire shall be permanent. The de-

mand of Japan is for 400,000,000
yen. In our currency a yen is rated
at 99 cents, practically $1. How
long China may have to pay this
large indemnity is not given, but
it is the rule that such forfeits are
to be paid in cash within a reason
able time. Such was the case in the
French-German indemnity and also
in the award in the arbitration be-*
tween the United States and Great
Britain. J
The total stock of gold coin in
the world is given, in the report of
the United States mint, as $3,901,
900,000, from which it appears that
the Chinese indemnity will require
over one tenth of the entire amount.
And as China has not a dollar in
gold, coin the whole sum, If paid,
must be drawn from other coun
tries. The countries which have
practically no gold coin, or so little
that it does not cut much figure in
the aggregate, are Greece, Spain,
India,' Servia, Sweden, Turkey,
Mexico, the Central, and South
American states, Japan, China,
Canada, Haiti, and Bulgaria. None
of these has more than $2 in gold
per capita of population, and some
have none. Most of the gold is in
Great Britain, France Germany,
Australia, Egypt, the United
States and Cuba. These have gold
amounting to from $9 to $23 per
capita of population.
The annual product of gold in
the world varies considerably. In
1883 it was $95,400,000, and in 18 -
93 it was $157,228,100. The world’s
gold coinage for .1893 was $232,-
485,668, of which $50,912,807,
was recoinage, showing that of the
gold product of 1893 $141,572,861
was coined, the rest being usdd in
arts. From this statement it is rea¬
sonably clear that the Chinese in¬
demnity jnust ^ P a ‘ d L° m tfie ac '
cumulated stocks of gold coin.
There is none of the nations that
hold the world’s gold that can af
ford to part with a dollar of it.
England will not, and her position
is invulnerable. France, Germany
and Egypt are about as well pro¬
tected as England. The United
States holds about $600,000,000 of
gold coin, but by a very slender
thread. We have been able to buy it
with bonds but we have not been
abje to hold i^t.
The congress that will meet in
December next will undoubtedly
be called upon to pass some law
looking to the protection of our
gold reserve. The measures that
have been urged consist in retiring
our treasury notbs, which are now
used to draw gold from the treasury
for exportation, and requiring that
some portion of our customs duties
be paid in gold coin. The adoption
of these measures, it is believed, will
both protect our gold reserves and
furnish a gupply that will be ample
to meet the gold demands against
the government. Whether they
will protect the country against
sock abnormal conditions at are
likely to arise in Asia remains to
bestru. ' •

Prof Perry spent Friday and
Saturday in Atlanta. He visited the
schools while there, looking for
improvements that he could adopt
in our schools. Toccoa can well feel
proud of Supt. Perry, as he is
thoroughly progressive and keeps
up with the times.
Miss Blonde Cappq, was the
guest of Miss Lula Ramsay at Tug
alo the latter part of last week. The
Tugalo Literary and Social Club
met at Miss Ramsay’s on Friday
evening and Miss Capps pronounces
the meeting delightful, and the pa
pers read, charming and instructive,
The Methodist Church choir will
give a concert at Matheson’s hall
in the near future, and it promises
to be equal in every respect to the
delightful entertainment given by
the same assembly last year, and
remembered so pleasantly by those
who attended it.
The Woman’s Literary Club will
meet Saturday afternoon at the
home of Mrs.W. M. Kilgo. At the
last meeting only the first act of
“Hamlet” was read, because so
few of the members were present,
A full attendance is desired tomor¬
row afternoon.
Misses Lida and Willie Ramsay
returned home last Saturday eve¬
ning after a charming visit to
friends and relatives in Walhalla
and Seneca S. C.
Dr. Will Carter of Gainsville Ga,
who has just completed a medical
course in Baltimore, Md, ( jrvas in
Toccoa Monday and was most
gladly welcomed by his numerous
friends.
* Recently an order was issued by
the manager of a Brooklyn, N. Y.
restaurant, requiring the young
women wao acted as waitresses to
comb out all df the frizzes on the
sides of their heads and plaster the
hair down and hold it with combs if
it is inclined to curl; further that
the back hair should be tightly
braided and that the fashionable
large puff sleeves should be re
placed by the tight-fitting,old style
ones. Of course the young women
were indignant, and ail who had
not home people dependent upon
them quit their positions. The de¬
pendent ones cried plastered their
hair, took up their sleeves and are
giving orders and waiting upon
customers with their mouths pessi¬
mistically turned down at the cor¬
ners. No wonder! Wbo of us
cannot sympathize with our sisters
who are really martyrs, under such
trying circumstances?
-The Misses West have returned
much fo ^ regfet of
hosts of friends in Toccoa.
Mr. Davidson, of Atlanta visit¬
ed the Misses West last Sunday.
Mr. C. Will Fisher the photog¬
rapher has moved his business from
Toccoa to Clarkesville.

Qgcar Wilde the asthctical Lon
don dramatist of peculiar—epigram
memory, who as proved by the
famous libel case which he brought
against the Marquis of Queensbury
England, has been one of the un¬
suspected but monstrous factors
in undermining English society is
lying now in prison with a sen
tence- of t wo years hard work
, hanging him, and the mdig- . ,.
B over I
nant and unsympathetic . eyes of the
civilized world turned toward him.
All the charges which the Marquis
of Queensbury brought against
him were proven, and many things
were so scandalous that they were
not telegraphed to the American
papers though published in Lon¬
don for the public good. Many
thank the Marquis of Queensbury
for starting the ball which may be
the means of checking and destroy¬
ing the vice which underminded
the civilization of the Romans,
and is gaining strong hold upon
our larger cities. Publicly is an
awful price to pay for over coming
such evils, but those engaged in
the Wilde case are convinced that
the situation demands desperate
remedies.
Most of Wilde’s plays have been
taken off the boards both in Lon¬
don and New York, because people
will not attend them if Wilde’s
name is attached. So the day of
“An Ideal Husband*’ “Lady Win¬
dermere’s Fan,” and “A Woman of
No Importance” is drawing nigh.
The genial and popular Supt. of
our public school, Prof. W.F. Perry
is fourth cousin to the famous Com¬
modore Perry, under whose com¬
mand a part of the American
vessels, forming the little navy dur¬
ing the war of 1812, accomplished
such glorious results for the U. S.,
whjfb was contending with Eng¬
land the greatest naval power in
the world at that time.
Prof. 'Perry’s great grand¬
father and Commodore Perry’s
father, who were brothers, came
from England together. Prof. Perry
has in his possession now a cane
made of a piece of wood* taken
from Commodore Perry’s flag ship.
Mrs. H. C. Fennell’s father, Dr.
J. O. Linsay of of Due West S. C.

There will be no services at the
Presbyterian church on Easter Sun
day.
Little Leila Dillard a dear bright
little tot of five years, while
playing with her little friend
Louise S-r— recently, suddenly
looked up and said to Mrs. S-
“The first time I came to this house
I thought you all were p-o-o-r peo¬
ple.” “You were right, we are,”
answered Mrs. S—. “Oh, no, you
are not poor, I know now you are
rich, cause I saw your f-i-v-e roos¬
ters out in the yard just now.”
Perhaps she has inherited an ab¬
surd appreciation of chickens, at¬
tributed to all Methodist ministers.
Sunday, there will be preaching
at the Baptist church by the pastor,
Rev. Keese.
A Pleasant Trip.

It was very easy to distinguish
who were sweethearts. We think
there was a ring placed upon
a pretty little white finger. .
Two old maids and two old
bachelors went too, but of course
they had nothing to do with
the younger folks, After enjoying
themselves several hours—enjoying
nature in all its budding beauty, and
the majestic, the beautiful Toccoa
falls, they started homeward and
reached the city about suppertime,
with appetites considerably sharp¬

closed out last Friday by the sheriff
on a mortgage given Kiser, Moore

invoices at $1,400 and there is said
to be $2,000 due the firm on notes
and accounts. The stock will be
sold on the 23d.
The failure was caused by dull
times, inability to collect and
not advertising. , ft
