Bm «-KV*ERY PAOKAGK-GI the Z Stamp tn red’on wnpom J.B.ZXUMH * C0 4 fU1alilpUt,Vk 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.

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. ' • Social * # Personal 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. Mr. Howell Cox visited friends jn Westminster S. C. f last Sunday, ^ There will be special Easter ser¬ vices and beautiful music at the Methodist church next Sunday. Miss May Rhyne a beautiful young lady of Westminster S. C. is the guest of Mrs. John Mcjun kin. Mr. R. M. Wceler, who has been suffering with rheumatism for sev¬ eral days, is still confined to his bed. The marriage of a popular rail¬ road man to a very estimable young lady of Toccoa is announced for next month. 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. made her a visit the first of the week. 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. The pupils of the public school having too much respect for Prof. Perry to run away the first of April, waited until Saturday and all walked out to the falls. They left about half past twelve, an< ^ reached their destination about They J ** gathered flowers, jumped . , and , in . fine, - ropes, aang had a nice time generally. They^ were chaperoned by Miss Willie - McAvdy and Mrs. Mcjunkin. 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¬ ened by the walk.
