The Latest Outrage
which the people of . the South
are resenting, sell them is the imitations efforts of
some to for
the real Simmons Liver Regu¬
lator, because they make more
money by little the that imitation; and
they people care in selling they them swindle
the an
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, and merchants are having
a hard time trying to get people
to take the stuff they offer them
in place of Simmons Liver Reg¬
ulator—which is the “ King of
Liver Medicines,” because it never
fails to give relief in all liver
troubles. Be sure that you get

Official Paper of the City of Toccoa and Coun¬
ty of Habersham.
Since the politicians elected Ba¬
con as senator last year would it
no| be the correct thing for the
people to elect Louis F. Garrard,
their candidate last year, to suc¬
ceed Gert. Gordon in the United
States Senate? There is no better
man in Georgia than Garrard and
none stands closer to the people
than the statesman from Muscogee.
Harmon the Man.
Washington, June 7.—At 5
o’clock this afternoon the following
appointments were announced
from the White House: —
Secretary of State—Richard 01 -
ney of Massachusetts.
Attorney General—Judson Ilar
mdn of Ohio.
Mr Harmon is a man of about
fifty years of age, possibly a few
years over that and a resident of
Cincinnati. His name had not
been used in the gossip about the
successor to Mr. Olney, except pos
sibly in private. For some years
he was judge of the court of coin
mon pleas of Hamilton county and
upon the removal of ex-Governor
Hoadley to New York he became
the head of the law firm with which
the latter had been associated. He
is said to be one of the foremost
lawyers of the central states.
HE WILL LEAVE POLITICS.
General Gordon Will Not Be a
Candidate Again.
The latest political announce¬
ment, and one that created more
than the usual amount of interest is
that Senator Gordon will not be a
candidate to succeed himself in the
United States senate.
The announcement is authorita¬
tive coming in a letter from the
senator who writes from his plant
ation in Taylor county, The letter
is as follows:

Senator Gordon’s successor will

Thky exhibition Saw It All.
At the Friday night
two country 'tnen were playing
“Peeping Tom,” with their heads
poked through the end covering of
the stage, about four feet above the
lightning producing apparatus.
No amount of warning as to their
dangerous position could persuade
them to move. A few minutes af¬
terward Ed Bryant’s half pound of
powder went off accidentally, fill¬
ing the end of the stage with a ter¬
rible flash of fire. When the
smoke had cleared away there were
two vacant holes in the bagging,
which had served as framings to
the heads of the country men and
an odor of burnt whiskers.

TO BOOM TOCCOA
A Project on Foot to Develop the
Falls.
The Toccoa Land Co. have sent
for a competent Civil Engineer to
test the size of water power the
company can expect Toccoa Falls
to furnish.
The company want to know
whether they can get power enough
to run a dynamo large enough to
furnish the city with electric light
and power for factories, etc.; be¬
sides they want to know whether
Toccoa city can not be furnished
with water also.
There are two falls, one above
the main falls, from which it is
to get water for the city
and by natural pressure it would
be delivered to any part of the city
at a very small cost; while at the
greater falls it is proposed to set
up a dynamo and generate electricty
for both light and power. /
If there is power enough for these
then there is no doubt but that
Toccoa would take on the biggest
boom in her history.
Light and water would both be
sold to citizens of Toccoa and the
railroad and the remainder of the
power would run our factories and
workshops.
The company will probably put
up a fine hotel at the fulls, also, be¬
side a number of cottages, and a
plan is on foot by which it is hoped
to interest some of the most prom¬
inent men of the state in such a
manner that they will build sum¬
mer houses out there,—all to be
supplied with water and electrcity.
Most certainly this is a grand
movement and should find a hearty
co-operation from all our citizens.
It would increase our business
greatly and it is probable that Toc
coa would -entertain 15000 to 20000
visitors—summer boarders—a year.
The plan is perfectly feasible
and if it is found there is enough
water to accomplish what the com¬
pany have in view, there will be
no lack of funds to carry put their
project.
If there is not enough water to
run both an electric plant and wa
ter works theri is certainly a great
sufficiency for the electric plant,
which will furnish light and power
to the city and factories beside the
hotels and cottages located at the
falls, and probably also an electric
railroad from Toccoa to the falls.
If a hotel and some summer cot

The company is composed of
some of Toccoa’s best business men,
which is in itself a guarantee of
success, if they once take it up.
A subscription list for stock was
passed around town yesterday and
about $3,ooo in new stock was se¬
cured for the erection of the hotel.
The company also contemplate
building a dam for a large artificial
lake near the hotel site to j>e used
for boating, etc., which will add
greatly to the beauty and attract¬
iveness of the falls.
Success to you gentlemen ; leave
no stone unturned to accomplish
your purpose in making Toccoa
not only the “Beautiful City of the
Mountains’’ but the “Progressive
City of North Georgia."
