The Epidemic.
Wednesday the trains entering
Atlanta were crowded to overflow¬
ing with refugees from the South¬
ern Country,—about Mobile, New
Orleans, and the cities on the Gulf.
There were over $7cx> worth of
tickets sold at Mobile for Atlanta,
Wednesday. All the interior towns
including Chattanooga, have quar-
•mteened against the infected
points. Savannah, Brunswick.
Macon, Jacksonville, Fla., and
other places have also quaranteen-
ed. Atlanta, Toccoa, and other
mountain towns, of N. E. Georgia
stand with gates open, inviting the
refugees to enter, and rest till the
dreadful scourge lias abated.
The outlook now is that there
will be a great epidemic—in fact
the Doctors sent to these places by
the Federal government look for a
dreadful time from now till frost
comes to stamp out the plague.
Our nisdemeanors.
Last week’s Record went on
record as favoring the working
of our misdemeanor convicts on the
public highways of Habersham
county. We based our reasons on
the proposition that since Gov. At¬
kinson has ordered that all misde¬
meanor convicts—those who are
sentenced to the chain gang for
twelve months or less—be returned
to their respective county authori¬
ties, and as Habersham county has
several—we do not know just how
many—the county commissioners
ought to make preparations to work
them at home. There is a law al-
lowing the commissioners to hire
these convicts out to other counties,
but Habersham has need of all of
hers, and now, too, to put our roads
in first-class condition. Then, too,
the cost of preparing to take care
of the convicts will be small, and
if they are worth $100 a year hire
to private parties, they are certainly
worth their board and clothing to
the county of Habersham. Gov.
Atkinson says :
“Convicts are now being worked
by private individuals in every sec-
tion of the State. If these men can
pay from $60 to $icx> each for these
convicts and work them at a profit,
surely the county authorities need
not fear entailing loss upon their
counties by having to take charge
of them, even if required to employ
them on other business than work-
ing on the public roads.
“lf, in any instance, the county
feel! that her convicts are not suffi-
ciently numerous to justify the or-
gamzation of a county chain gang,
it can cooler with other counties
similarly situated and consolidate,
There is no judicial circuit in this
State which will not furnish enough
misdemeanor convicts to justify at
least chain *
one gang.
“1 wish, however, to emphasize
the lact that in almost every section
in Georgia it will be the part of
wisdom to put these misdemeanor
convicts at work upon the public
highways. To improve the road-
ways in Georgia will be of immense
value in the rural districts. I ex-
pect to see the breaking up of pri-
vate convict camps in Georgia give
a great impetus to the movement in
behalf of good roads.

Allan D. Candler.
Secretary of State, Allen D.
Candler, an honored son of Georgia,
and a man who does not know
that he is a candidate’ for Govern¬
or of the great state of Georgia—
but he is—because the common
people, and not the politicians, are
pushing his name forward for that
great office, said last Saturday, in
an interview, “I do not think that
any political campaign should be
inaugurated this year in the inter¬
est of anybody. It is more than a
year before the next election. The
people want a rest. For some
years past we have had a surfeit of
politics, both in quality and quan¬
tity. What the people want next
year, if I read their wishes aright,
and I believe I do, is a short, clean
campaign. This year God has
blessed us with the finest crops in a
generation ; we want to gather and
market those crops and pay our
debts as far us we can before the
politician is turned loose on the
people. What we want now is
more peas and pumpkins and less
politics; more peanuts and fewer
peanut politicians. 9 J
These are patrioic words from a
patriotic man, and they are above
the heads of the average politician.
The politician is out for all he can
get, and he is an eternal agitator
who would swap the liberties of
the people at any moment for a
chance to help himself to political
preferment.
Candler is different. Allen D.
Candler has been put to the test,
and the “Plowboy from Pigeon
Roost” has never been found want¬
ing or derelict of the duties encum¬
bent upon him as a representative
of the people. Candler is a demo¬
crat, stands flatfooted (and has al¬
ways stood there; not a recent
convert as are other aspirants for
the governorship) upon the Chica¬
go platform, and is in favo^ of the
repeal of the iniquitous prohibitory
ten per cent tax on state banks,
and opposed to government by in¬
junction. Can you think of a
clearer, more logical, or better plat¬
form than this? Can you think of
a more worthy man in the state of
Georgia to help carry these articles
bf faith into execution than Cand¬
ler? Candler is the cleanest man,
today, in Georgia politics, and is al¬
so the best man in Georgia for
Governor.
That Lively Corpse.
Augusta Chronicle.
The prominent men and papers
that habitually insist upon silver or
free coinage being “a dead issue,”
are periodically reminded that they
are the victims of misplaced confi¬
dence. These men are either wo-
fully ignorant and blind, as well as
deaf, or they simply resort to delib¬
erate mendacity. If a Southern or
Western bimetalic editor assures
them that they are laboring under
delusion, they pay no attention to
the admonition. But here comes
the New York World, with the il¬
lumination of recent events before
it, and significantly says :
“The dispatches in the World on
Saturday and yesterday from Na-
tioual and State Democratic com-
mitteemen, unanimously affirming
their adherence to free silver and
their allegiance to Mr. Bryan, were
an astonishing revelation.
“It was perhaps to have been ex-
pected that the Democrats who man-
aged last year’s campaign in the
Populistic States of the Northwest
and the South should still ‘stand to
their guns,’ in spite of dollar wheat
land 40-cent silver dollars. But that
the committeemen in the now pros-
perous States of the West, and in
the Middle and Eastern States that
accepted the Chicago platform sim-
ply to be ‘regular,’ should take the
same position is a striking and dis-
turning proof of the strength
party spirit and the vitality * of a
delusion.
“The representatives of New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
New Hampshire and Vermont align
themselves with the committeemen
of Indiana, Michigan, Iowa, Mis-
*? uri .’ Kansas ; Kentuck >' aild West
A lrgima, in looking to Brvan as
the leader of the party and in
cepting free silver as its shibboleth.
“Taken in connection with the
similar action of the State conven-
tion this >' ear ’ k shows a surprising
popularity for a defeated candidate.
It is a warning, furthermore, that
the battle for sound money and for
the national honor and authority is
not yet over.” '
Only men who are wilfully or in¬
voluntarily out of touch with pub¬
lic sentiment and the course of facts
need be astonished at these revela¬
tions. Such men should read pa¬
pers on both sides of the contro¬
versy, instead of sticking to jour¬
nalistic organs that appear to be
intent upon misrepresentation and
suppression of truth. As for the
financial battle it has just begun, as
it were. Even the Maryland De¬
mocracy might safely have re-af¬
firmed the Chicago platform, for
the bolting mugwumps, in the mass,
have had their dose of Republican
rule in that State. The Washing¬
ton Post, although opposed to free
coinage, is.a fair paper, and, after
discussing the Maryland situation,
from the stand of Republican ad¬
ministration in Maryland—made
possible by Democratic defection—
says :
“Nobody is better off. Nothing
has been improved. The Demo¬
crats who, in 1895, joined with the
Republicans to deliver the State to
their party enemies, can now point
to no substantial achievement, to no
puDlic benefit or betterment, that
will excuse or even palliate their
apostasy. They cannot justify them¬
selves before the tribunal of their
own consciences. Theirs is a har¬
vest of Dead sea fruit.”
Unhappy mugwumps ! Their on¬
ly safety is return to the fold of or¬
ganized Democracy. When a man
ceases to excuse himself he is in a
bad way. The poet makes a des¬
perate character exclaim :
“I have ceased to justify myself'unto myself,
The last infirmity of evil.”
The loss, a few days ago of sev¬
eral large guns offTybee light by
the government, caused by the
shifting of one of the large guns on
the deck and thus sinking the
schooner on which they were load¬
ed has drawn attention to the sec¬
recy with which the government
is proceeding with the work of for¬
tifying the coasts and strengthen¬
ing port and harbor defences.
Nobody seems to have known that
the guns were on the way to Tybee,
and but for the accident they would
probably have been landed with a
little more publicity than they were
shipped. Other and simular ship¬
ments are being made from time to
time, of which but little is heard.
It will probably not be a great
while before the world will wake
up one fine morning to a realiza¬
tion that the long-discussed de¬
fenseless condition of the Ameri¬
can coast has ceased to exist and
that we are ready to defend our¬
selves against the world.
William Jennings Bryan, “the
noblest Roman of them all,” recent¬
ly said: “The weekly newspaper
plows the ground; sows the seed
and cultivates the crop—and too of¬
ten is forced to step aside while
those who neither planted or culti¬
vated reap the ripened grain. The
cause which you advocate, the can¬
didate you support and the party
you love will be immeasurably
strengthened if each of you will
step into the office of your local
paper that is patiently and uncom¬
plainingly keeping alive the spark
of true Democracy and pay up your
subscription for a year or two in
advance.”

Rev. Chas. R. Nisbet, after sup- I
plying the Presbyterian pulpit here
for the past year, to the entire sat¬
isfaction of that congregation, left
for the Theological Seminary at
Princeton, N. J., IastTuesday. Mr.
Nisbet is a young man, and a tho¬
roughly consecrated Christian and
earnest worker for his Lord and
Master. Mr. Nisbet made here
many warm and true friends, who
wish him the greatest success in life
and in his chosen profession, the
ministry. Mr. Nisbet is a good
preacher now though young,and we
predict for him a high place in the
councils of his church. He returns
to Princeton to complete his course
in the ministry, which will take two
or three terms yet. He has minis¬
tered to this church as well and as
faithfully as any minister who ever
occupied that pulpit, and the con¬
gregation has been well pleased with
him. We hope he will again return
to Toccoa and take up again his
ministerial duties here.
Recent dispatches from Haiwaii
say that the nations of those is¬
lands do not want to be annexed to
the United States, but by what
right do the natives presume to
have a voice in the affairs of their
own country? Have not the car¬
pet-baggers and sugar barons from
New England said the islands shall
be annexed? Have they not made
their deal with the Republican
party for annexation? There are
only some fifteen natives to one
New' Englander in the islands, but
the New Englanders have the
friendship of the government at
Washington, and the government
owns the war ships ; and that set¬
tles the question. The Haiwaiians
lose.
The 73,000 surplus marriageable
women of Massachusetts are mak¬
ing the lives of the bachelor politi
clans of that State sad. Mayor
Qumcy, of Boston, comes in for a
large share of the criticism, and it
has already been hinted that he is
looking around for a wife, in order
to escape the opposition of this dan¬
gerous element during his coming
contest. The women are right;
they ought to have some show. If
they cannot do anything else, they
should form a trust and get them¬
selves a favorable section in the
tariff bill.
From the numerous letters writ¬
ten by Judge Sweat of the Bruns¬
wick circuit, on the convict lease
system and his orders to return mis¬
demeanor convicts to their respect¬
ive counties instanter, one would be
led to infer that that astute gentle¬
man is planting his lightning rods
in pleasant places, mayhap to catch
an}' political lightning that might
come his way for the Governorship
nomination.

Call and see me. I guar-
Down With the Bible.
Some twenty-five years ago, a
politico-religious combination was
formed in Cincinnati, Hamilton,
Piqua and other Ohio towns, the
single purpose of which was to le¬
gislate the Protestant Bible out of
the public schools of that State.
Young and inexperienced but pliant
individuals were sent to the Legis¬
lature to support the measure which
a junta had already prepared. The
contest in both houses of the Gen-
eral Assembly was bitter and pro-
longed, and in many of the counties
of the State feeling became almost
feud. The conspiracy, the object
and the propagators were over¬
thrown, and the Bible remained.
The same arguments which the
moral sense of the people of Ohio
repudiated a quarter of a century
ago, have now been advanced by a
clerical gentleman of Georgia, who
declares that it is contrary to the
spirit of our institutions to read the
Word of God to the public school
children of Georgia, (and of any
other State, of course.) He de¬
nounces the custom, and invites the
agitation of the question of its pro¬
hibition. The two pointed reasons
which the reverend gentleman ad¬
vances are : 1. That Jews, Catho¬
lics, infidels, atheists, as well as
Protestants, are taxed for the main¬
tenance of the public schools, and
therefore, “the taxes derived from
a people regardless of religious faith
or non-faith,” are misapplied when
“applied for the furtherance of doc
trinal teaching;” that the custom
is “un-American.” 2. That the
reading ot the Protestant Bible in
the public schools “is distasteful to
our brethren of the Jewish, Catho¬
lic and other faiths, and to the in¬
fidels and atheists,” and therefore
the custom should be discontinued.
We incline to the opinion that if
there are any “infidels and ath¬
eists” among the schoolchildren of
Georgia the reading of the word ot
God to them in a brief chapter
each morning will be a beneficent
sending. We want no infidels or
atheists in this country any more
than we want anarchists ; and anar¬
chists indeed are made out of just
such material. We also believe
that the people of this country are
by a very large majority Protest¬
ant ; and if the reading of the Pro¬
testant Bible in the public schools
is prohibited because it is distaste¬
ful to the Jews, Catholics, infidels,
and atheists, “then we deprive the
many rather than offend the few.”
We also think that the clerical re¬
former is going away outside his
accredited mission ; and since he so
heartily endorses Sam Jones’ prop¬
osition that any method is right
which seeks to inculcate religious
ideas and spread the Gospel, he
appears to be inconsistent in seek¬
ing the suppression of this innocent
and beneficent method. The next
step, in the line of consistency,
would be to abolish the custom of
opening our legislative and con-
gressional sessions and sittings
\> ith prayer ; for there are unhappi¬
ly “non-believers” sometimes in
every legislative assembly, as well
as people of various faiths differ¬
ing from the faith of the chaplain
to whom they are forced to listen ;
and the prayer of a protestant chap-
lain may be .-dUtasefui” to
brothers, F.nally, let us drive God
out of the Const,tut,on, (to be con-
s,stent, brother,) and let the civil-
,zed world understand that not only
in politics and in government, but
in religion also, we are an\thing
and nothing.

GLOVER FOUND NOT GUILTY]
18-Year Old Youth Acquitted of
Charge of Killing HU Grand¬
mother.
Clarkesville, Sept. 14. —The
jury in the case of St. Clair Glover,
charged with the murder of his aged
grandmother, returned a verdict of
not guilty at 8 o’clock last Thurs¬
day morning.
This is the somewhat unexpected
ending of a very remarkable and
sensational case. The defendant is
a youth of 18 years, very boyish
looking, but had already been found
guilty at a former trial of the shock¬
ing crime. He received a life sen¬
tence, but secured a new trial. He
was convicted on the strength of a
confession which was alleged to
have been drawn from him by fraud,
and for this reason it did not play
so important a part in the second
trial. Opinion has been about
equally divided as to the boy’s guilt.
The crime for which he was tried
was committed on the night of Oc¬
tober 16, 1896. Mrs. Glover was
found dead in bed, with a bottle of
chloroform under her pillow and a
saturated handkerchief across her
face. Miss Ella Glover, the daugh¬
ter, and St. Clair and Joseph Glo¬
ver, grandsons of the old lady, were
placed under arrest. The former
two w r ere immediately released,
however, and St. Clair was held
for the crime.
In the confession which young
Glover is alleged to have made, he
stated that he killed his grandmo¬
ther because he learned that she had
made her will and had left him out
of it.
An Innocent Man Lynched.
The worst feature of mob law is
that it is about as likely to punish
the innocent as the guilty. Henry
Wall, a young white man, was
lynched near Friend’s House, Pat
rick county, Virginia, a few days
ago, for “ the usual crime.” After¬
wards it was found that he was
innocent of the charge. There is
much indignation at the officers of
the law who gave the man up to
the mob, but the real blame lies
with the public sentiment which
endorses lynching under any cir¬
cumstances.
New Depository.
Last week cashier Bruce of the
Toccoa Banking Co., forwarded
Gov. Atkinson a bond for $50,000,
which was accepted and now the
Toccoa Bank is a State depository.
This speaks well for our bank
and local bankers. It also shows
what outsiders think of the busi¬
ness ability of the officers of the
Bank of Toccoa.
There is not a better bank in
Georia than the Bank of Toccoa,
and few better bankers than Bob
Bruce.
