On October 1st every signal sta¬
tion in the United States reported
“fair weather” at 8 a. m.
The First National Bank of Nash¬
ville has decided to reorganize witli
a reduction of capital stock from
$900,000 to $400,000.
Charles L. Bass, editor of the
Clarkesville Advertiser and a pro¬
minent attorney at the Habersham
bar, has decided to quit the law
and to enter the ministry.
Let Habersham county have less
taxes. This is the hardest year,
probably, in the memory of man,
and our taxes should be less this
year, instead of more than it has
been for fifteen years.
The Demorest Home, Mining
and Improvement Go’s property,
which has been in the hands of a
receiver for the past three or four
years, is advertised for sale the 1st
Tuesday in November at Clarkes¬
ville.
Notice is given that the next Gen¬
eral Assembly will be asked to
“change the charter of the town of
Cornelia so as to allow said town
to issue $4000 of bonds for the erec¬
tion of a school building and for
other purposes.”
Notice is given in the Clarkes¬
ville Advertiser that a bill will be
introduced in the next legislature
to “establish a City Court of Clar¬
kesville for the county of Haber¬
sham.” From the reading of this
notice it seems that if Clarkesville
can’t get the whole coon skin with
the tail thrown in for good meas¬
ure, she won’t have any at all.
Secretary of Agriculture Wilson
will visit the Tuskegee (Ala.) Nor¬
mal and Industrial institute on No¬
vember 17, to deliver an address at
the formal opening of a new build¬
ing to be devoted to training in
agriculture, horticulture, dairying,
etc. This is the school of which
Booker Washington, the noted col¬
ored teacher, is president.
The lawyers of several of the
neighboring counties are speaking
ot having a bill introduced in the
next Legislature, making a new
judicial circuit, to be known as the
Tugaio circuit, and probably COiii-
posed of Elbert, Hart, Franklin,
Habersham and either Madison or
Rabun counties. The Record is
decidedly in favor of this new cir¬
cuit.
The county is in debt $2,000 for
borrowed money at ten per cent in¬
terest, which was borrotved to run
the last Court and Court will be
held again in November, which
must be paid lor. What, in the
name of good government, will the
taxes of Habersham countv be next
year ? 1 he tax this year is $ 1.49 on
the hundred, next year, the wav
the officials are piling up the expen¬
ses, and taxes will be $5.^0 per
hundred. \\ hy not call a halt on
expenses?
Foreclosure Sale.
Notice has been given publica¬
tion that the Blue Ridge and At¬
lantic Railroad running from Cor¬
nelia to Tallulah Fails will be sold
by special Commissioner Black at
Clarkesville, Saturday, Nov. 6,
1897, for a debt owed the Central
1 rust Co., of New York, It is
hoped arrangements will be made
by” the new purchasers—if there
are an y—to put the road through
to some northern connection.
The Race for Supremacy.
Chronicle.
There can be little doubt that a
large majority of the people of E Ll-
rope and the United States desire!
bimetal ism, with open mints to
gold and silver, but a comparatively
small faction, prepotent with cash
capital and solidly uni r ed, baflle the
aspiration of the masses. Even the
British government and the Bank
of England would like to help the
silver cause, but, so far, they are
“held up” by what is known as the
money power. We have arrived
at a point where the governments
must rule or abdicate. They shrink
from absolute surrender and are
afraid to do so actually, but their
subordination is plain and pitiful.
Even President McKinley, a free
coinage man at heart and by con¬
viction, is “held up” by the men
who hold his notes and made him
chief magistrate. At present, the
so-called House of Representatives
is a subservient tool, while the Sen¬
ate, the one bulwark of the people
is denounced and every effort made
to change its political complexion
on the financial question. What¬
ever the President may secretly de¬
sire, he has thwarted, as far as he
can, the bimetalic movement by
appointing Lyman Gage treasurer
and Preston director of the mint.
Meanwhile the fall in prices con¬
tinues. Even the bull stocks could
not be maintained, and, while wheat
halts below the dollar mark in sell¬
ing centres, cotton declines and
nearly every other commodity.
The wheat situation, with gold
shipments from abroad, is at pre¬
sent the one pleasant feature of the
agricultural situation. On this
point the American cays •
“This it is that brings measure of
hopefulness to the wheat grower
to-day, and if our agricultural class¬
es were interested in nothing but
wheat, then would assuredly come
agricultural revival, followed by an
increased demand for manufactured
products, and, hence, manufactur¬
ing revival. But, as this is far from
true, as the corn crop will be in all
probability short of last year's by
500,000,000 bushels, so that the
crop, though fetching, perhaps, 3
or 4 cents more a bushel than a year
ago, will probably bring considera¬
bly less money to the farmer than
last year’s crop, as the oat crop is
also apparently under last ye; ;ir s.
so that the advance in price, will be,
in good part, if not all, neutralized,
and as with the coming of the new
cotton crop on the market the
price of cotton has suffered a de¬
cline that makes it exceedingly
questionable whether or no the
planter will realize more money for
his crop this year than last, there is
grave reason to doubt the coming
revival. And so far there has been
no appreciable revival in industrial
lines, a boom in stocks, indeed,
which is top heavy, and threatens
to fall crushing those who cannot
stand from under, but no boom, no
great demand, no marked increase
in prices for the products of labor,
a fact which no number of news¬
paper reports can hide from manu¬
facturers and merchants.”
This is not a bright outlook, but
it is the view of a northern philoso¬
pher. The only question is as to
its accuracy, It is not easily dis--
proved.
Mr. Dingley’, hope for the fu-
ture is not in dollar wheat, for even
he admits that wheat will present-
1\ tumble in price, but the high pro-
tective tariff. But even Mr. Ding-
ley cannot tell us how, with shrink-
ing prices tor agricultural commodi-
ties, involving a smaller amount of
money” in circulation among the
agricultural classes, there will be a
profitable market for manufactured
goods advanced in price.
According to Mr. Reed’s “Christ-
ian Science. fatalistic theory, 1
something always happens to
change situations, however desper-
ate, we may have to look for the
occurence , the unexpected. L
or n-
fortunately for the Reed theory.
there are well defined reasons for
foil falling -,- price,, in the contraction of f
(he money units, and until that con-
dition be changed, prosperity must
have a hard road to travel.
So the battle of the money stand-
ards will go on until it shall have
been decided whether the govern-
ment is to govern the people or ab-
dicate its powers to a European
syndicate, camped chiefly at Lon-
don and New \ ork.
A Unique Incident. !
The action of certain Kansas
City snobs in ruling out Miss Edna
Whitney, of Chillicothe, Mo., as
maid of honor to the queen of the
Kansas City festival last week, be¬
cause she was only a working girl
without social position, was the
means of giving her distinction
which she never would have enjoy¬
ed as one of the maids of honor.
It seems that at the Kansas City
festival other towns in Missouri
were invited to send maids of bon¬
or to the queen. The people of
Chillicothe elected Miss Edna \\ hit-
tiey to represent their town, but
when she reached Kausas City the
managers of the function declined
to allow her to serve as maid of
honor because she was “only a
working girl.”
The story went to the papers, of
course, and the poor girl was mor¬
tified beyond all measure and the
people of Chillicothe greatly incen¬
sed. But here comes in the unique
part of the story and Miss Whit¬
ney’s revenge. “Pride goeth be¬
fore a fall,” and sometimes the rule
works the other way and the hum¬
ble are exalted. Topeka, Kansas,
had a great festival the week fol¬
lowing, and here is the story as it
was sent out over the wires :
“The feature of the Kansas Pros¬
perity Festival today was the recep¬
tion given Miss Edna Whitney, a
working girl of Chillicothe, Mo.,
upon her arrival here to become
Queen of Labor. Miss Whitney
is the heroine of the interstate so¬
ciety and labor war, which occurred
last week. “She was elected maid
of honor to the Queen of the Kan¬
sas City (Mo.) "Festival by Chilli-
cotb’e, but was barred by the
“Four Hundred” of Kansas City,
which declared her occupation a
barrier.
“She was immediately invited to
become Queen of Labor of the Kan¬
sas festival. A . pecial train was
sent for her, and when she arrived
there this afternoon she was met
by Governor Leedy, the state and
city officials, and a multitude var¬
iously estimated at from 10,000 to
15,000. No such demonstration
has ever been witnessed in this city
before. The procession was sever¬
al miles long. Some of the ban¬
ners read :
«< Snubbed by Missouri; Honored
by Kansas.’
“We have prosperity in Kansas,
but we had to work for it.’
“Miss Whitney honors labor;
Kansas honors her.’
k No royal road to honor in Kan-
sas.’
“Incompany with the state offi¬
cers, Miss Whitney will review all
the parades of the week, and will
be a central figure in all the exer¬
cises.”
The State of Kansas has effectu¬
ally and signally rebuked Kansas
City snobbery, and as Miss Whit¬
ney seems to have deported herself
becomingly in the face of all this
adulation and conspicuity, it is safe
to say her deportment as maid of
honor in the Kansas City festival
would have indicated far better
manners than were displayed by
the people who humiliated her.
Dry Weather.
For the last 8 days no rain of any
j ! consequence borhood of Toccoa. has fallen This in theneigl 1-
long dr\
spell is unprecedented in the re-
cords of the weather bureau except
two instances. Once in ’84 when
39 days passed without rain, and
again in September. October and
November 1886 , when 50 da\ s went
by without enough rain to lay the
dust.
The last rain that tell about Toe-
eoa was on the 16th of August when
1.10 inches fell, except a
tation too small to be measured on
August 30th. Since then only
hundreths of an inch # have fallen,
on the 23 ^ of September. F So tar In
October no rain has fallen and there
isnonein sight, ...... according to weath- .
er prophet Marbury.
September was 3.77 inches
irnd the normal rainfall for the
'
month , and , » 6. r for, c he whole , , year,
Th.s a marked mcrease in defi-
ciencv over August, w lien the year
was only 5.S4 inches behind, while
for today, the ^th of October,
deficiency 'rainfall is 10.12 inches,
that the is getting more in
arrears every day.
The records show that Septem-
ber and October are always the I
dryest months in the year, and the
greatest amount of rainfall ever re¬
corded in either of those months for l
the past iS years came in Septem¬
ber, iSSS, when the rain instru¬
ments ticked off 14.26 inches.
The least—two hundredths of an
.
inch—fell in October. 1S91. j
Both those records stand for the i
greatest and least amount of rain
for September and October, ’97 and
can be stated in one figure, namely
.50 of an inch—the only rainfall re¬
corded.
The whole situation in a nutshell
amounts to this : No rain has fal-
len in the past 38 days, which
comes near the record for the long¬
est dry spell. September closed
9.61 inches behind for the year,
and 3.77 for the month. October
so far is without rain, or .42 hun-
dredths of an inch behind in month-
ly precipitation, and 10.12
for the year. There is no rain in
sight for the next 36 hours, and the
situation is gradually growing
worse. Crops are suffering all ov¬
er the state, and farmers from the
couutry districts say that unless it
rains soon every one will be chok¬
ed with dust.
We Favor the County Court.
The Southern Record, with
much honesty says, that while in¬
clined to be against the establish¬
ment ol a city court they want to
know how it will benefit the coun¬
ty. The benefit comes in two ways,
in reducing expenses, first it will
reduce jail fees in giving a prompt
trial and bringing defendants to
trial without keeping them in jail
for months awaiting the semi-an¬
nual session of lhe Superior Court.
Then it will reduce jury fees as it
will transact business with less jur-
ies than other courts Again, it
reduces expenses in doing away
with the large number of bailiffs.
Now as to the expenses of the
court: the judge will receive such
a salary as the bill provides, the
solicitor will not get $300 as the
Record understands, but only fees,
all of which comes out of fines and
nothing out of the county treasury.
And then the advantage of prompt¬
ly disposing of the litigation of the
county must be considered It is
to the advantage of business in
every line that the courts dispose of
cases rapidly. We favor the court.

City Court.
It is understood that Col. J. B.
Jones, of Toccoa, is a candidate for
Judge of the embryo city court,
which will probably be instituted
for Habersham county by the next
legislature.
Geo. P. Erwin is a candidate for
solicitor for said court, Mr. Er-
win presented his petition for the
signatures of our citizens this week,
asking the Governor to appoint
him.
No one seems to know just how
things are going to work out for the
new court There is an unknown
quantity against its establishment
and if it takes shape, it will devel-
j °P a g re£ *t influence.

A SONG OF REST. at
Oh. weary hands, that all the day
Were set to labor hard and long!
Now softly fall the shadows gray.
The bells are rung for evensong.
An hour ago the golden sun west.
Sank slowly down into the
Poor, weary hands, your toil is done.
’Tis time for rest! ’Tis time for restl
Oh, weary feet, that many a mile
Have trudged along a stony way,
At last ye reach the trysting stile,
No longer fear to go astray.
The gentle bonding, rustling trees
Book the young birds within the nest
And softly sings the quiet breeze:
n ’Tis time for rest! ’Tis time for restl
Oh, weary eyes, from which the tears
Fell many a time like thunder rainl
Oh, weary heart, that through the years
Beat with such bitter, restless pain,
Tonight forget the stormy strife
And know what heaven shall send is best.
Lay down the tangled web of life.
’Tis time for restl ’Tis time for restl
—Chambers’ Magazine.
Champ Clark’s Wit.
Champ Clark of Missouri is not only
one of the wittiest men in the house of
representatives, but he is one of the
best posted on the tariff question.
In ridiculing some of the rates of the
Dingley bill that to him seemed subject
to criticism, he recited how a man of
the name of Goodyear went before the
ways and means committee and secured
the tariff he wanted by some skillful
palaver about the great statesmen that
Maine had produced. Then he said:
“Mr. Chairman, that piece of ‘soft
soap’ made it harder for every poor
man in the United States to build a
house. Governor Dingley swallowed the
bait as quick as a trout would swallow
a fly (laughter], and next summer some
poor devil out we 3 t, living in a dugout
100 miles from a railroad station, who
voted for McKinley under the deluded
idea that prosperity would come under
his administration and who has not
heard of this tariff bill, ciphers it out
can build him'a two room cot-
tage with lumber and other building
materials at the old rate. He goes to the
station to get the lumber and finds that
the price has gone sky high, and he goes
back to his home and says to his wife:
‘My dear, I am sorry that we must stay
in the dugout. We cannot build our lit¬
tle house. A great man by the name of
Governor Dingley has put the price of
lumber and other things so high that
we cannot do it, but, thank God, he
has left dragon’s blood free. ’ [Laughter. ]
Next year, when my handsome friend
from Iowa (Mr. Dolliver) returns to
that fine agricultural district which he
represents, some man who has not been
able to buy a coat because of the high
price of woolen cloth will say to his
neighbor, ‘There comes Dolliver, who
put up the price of woolen goods.’ But
the successful candidate far the post-
office m that district says, Oh, but
liver put divi-divi on the free lis !’
And in chorus they sing, ‘Dolliver and
divi-divi forever.’ ” [Laughter. Ap-
plause on the Democratic side. ]
Why Increase the Coal Duty?
Under the existing tariff bituminous
coal pays 40 cents a ton. The Dingley
bill proposes to make this 75 cents. In
1895-6 the imports of bituminous coal
into the United States were 1,243,835
tons. The exports were 2,246,284. The
figures for Canada were: Imported from
Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, etc.,
123,404 tons; from Quebec, Ontario,
etc., 39,987; from British Columbia,
627,257; exoorts to these three divisions
respectively, 418 tons, 1,671,302 and
8,094. Canada now proposes in case the
Dingley rate is imposed to retaliate by
a high duty on our coal, which will
certainly not stimulate exports. Here
is an export business worth twice as
much as the corresponding import bnsi-
nesSj audits proposed to run the risk
of ruining the former for the sake of
screwing $350,000 taxes out of the lat-
ter, and this on the plea of reviving
American industry. Can any sane man
fail to see that, even assuming that
imports do not fall off, it is hardly
worth while for the sake of a paltry
$350,000 to tempt Canada into ruining
an established business nearly twice as
large as that which is to yield the tax?
Yet this is the way in -which “the old
thing works.”
