Do not pledge yourself to any candidate yet. Wait till matters settle down and you can see your way clear. There is too much log¬ rolling just now for a fair view of the political situation. The lawyers are at loggerheads in the legislature and the people are mad. Between the two, what a d —1 of a fix the state of Georgia is in. We are in favor of Judge Joel Branham of Rome, for Attorney General. We are of the opinion he would make an able and accep¬ table Chief Attorney for the state. The County Court will not be abolished in Franklin county. The committee to whom the bill for abolishment was referred reported unfavorable, and called it a “popu¬ listic scheme without merit.” We notice that the legislators are so bent on attending to their duties (on the outside) at the state capital that the speaker has been compell¬ ed to lock them in to get a vote— when they happen to need to vote on a question. In these days of McKinley’s plen- tiousness, banks are failing every day from one end of the country to the other. McKinley ought to call a halt on such poor showings. If banks cant make money, we are at a loss to know who can. The Georgia legislature costs a figure approximating $1,400 daily. There are 219 members, with clerks, pages, porters, etc. This sum mul¬ tiplied by 50, the number of days to which a session of the legistature is limited, will give a $70,000 result —the cost of the entire session of 50 days.—Ex. Politics in Georgia is in the seer and yellow leaf. We need another Bob Tooms to inject the requisite amount of red matter into the body politic, and at the same time knock sky high the pestilential small fry and bob-tail politician who infest the state house at various and sun¬ dry seasons. The Carnesville Tribune has been turned over to the populists party, and the name changed to The Franklin County Organ ; we sup¬ pose they intend to grind their own organ, and possibly furnish their own wind. The wind is the all and the indispensable with the ordinary country paper. Politics are growing warm “in this neck of the woods,” The boys are caucusing,guessing and figuring but of course there is nothing as ' sured this far away from the elect- ion—we wish they all could ,, win; . if it were so there would be a great deal less disappointment than there is going to be when the primary conies off. We are told by an eastern journal money crisis in the east that it is pro-1 foundly depressed, and as a desper- ate expedient, those manufacturers “are now seeking to cut the wages of their 200,000 operatives 5 per cent.” The manufacturers told the British cabinet their trouble, j hundreds of trades unions and the agriculturists petitioned the gov- to save them from ruin*, but the ise and betrayed England’s pro- ducers at the same time—Salt Take Tribune. STAR LIVERY STABLES, Howard Thompson is hot on the trail of Carter Tate. Neither of these gentlemen are allowing I the grass to “grow much” under their feet in their race for congress, Both are good men and we believe it will be a cjosely and, probably, a hotly contested nomination. The Democrats of Ohio can eat their Thanksgiving turkey pleasant -1 ly. As the World says of Hanna : “What has he done for the party in Ohio? Under his personal can- vass for election to the senate the Republican majority of 87 in the T^^!, l rlVtv S r,f 1 ^°r^ dlSa ' 1895! ^ Pea ? d ; j election for' governor, has melted away to less than one-third that figure, while the legislative plurality on the popular vote is on- ifomeVml tion.” The Ohio Democratic turkey may not be a very big bird, but it is a substantial fowl. For a New Circuit. Elberton, Ga.. Nobember 16— A new judicial circuit to be com¬ posed of Elberton, Madison, Hart, Franklin and Habersham counties is being agitated at Hart Superior court this week. Solicitor General Bob Lewis says the good of the people demands a new circuit, and while it will injure him financially, he feels it is tke thing for the pub¬ lic good. Judge Reese is also quo¬ ted as favoring the new circuit Mr. Lewis says it will take three weeks to try the felony cases in Elbert and nearly as long in the other counties, not to speak of the civil side. He says the business of the courts all over the circuit is crowded. A determined effort will be made to get the present legisla¬ ture to give some relief as herein suggested. The above is a special to the Constitution. We are convinced that a new circuit would be a bene¬ fit to our people, and The Record is in favor of the move, and hopes that a new circuit will be estab¬ lished. A Blast from the Combine. Augusta Chronicle. The Atlanta Journal is evidently favorable to the schemes of “the straddlers, compromisers and dod¬ gers,” who are forming under the leadership of David B. Hill, Croker & Co., to control, if they can, the next Democratic national conven¬ tion, in order to “drop Bryan and free coinage.” The Journal, after sketchily reviewing the situation and endorsing the presumed New York plan, says : .. There are two ways before the old party : One way leads to safety and honor and triumph ; the other leads to madness, disrepute, disrup¬ tion and ruin.” Does tlie Journal really imagine that the Democratic party will “drop silver and Bryan” without disruption? We believe that the events of the near future will not only make Bryan and free coinage more potent, in all sections of th country, but that the Hill factions will be dropped more summarily thau the y ' vere last time - Th e dropping of free coinage would be simply a fight between gold stan- dard Democrats and gold standard j Republicans, merely for spoils and ! really to enslave the people to Pier j pont Morgan and his European masters. What kind of “triumph” does the Journal find in that, even if such a Democracy could possibly succeed at the polls? We commend to our Atlanta con- temporary the following language f tbe bpringheld c Republican f \ s . Boston „ wise correspondent. He says : “It would be just as well for the | Republican and mugwump news- papers and stump orators to cease nicknaming Democracy “Bry an- planking more than nine-tenths of j the Democracy of 1S92; to which are added so many Republicans and Populists that this reunited party appears to have ^5 per cent, and possibly three-fifths of the voters of the whole country. For better or worse this is the present aspect;, and abusive nicknames like “popo- ‘jacobin,' ‘Locofoco,’ ‘hunker’ and of odd positions in political : our j story ; but fundamentally they were the party of the many against the USE n ,'c OELIH J For more money? provided you are doing your trading w itli BEN.

They are not in j urin g his political future by ^offing at him, and iterating and reiterating that he is‘dead’or damn- ed,’or any of the other petty adjec- tives they so childishly apply to him. On the contrary, they are making him one of the’most forrni- dable candidates for the vice presi- dency, on tbe ticket with Mr. Bryan, when he makes his second >9- oo. R I s early to make predictions; but .Bryan now stands before the people—not of New England but of that considerable section of tbe country outside of our potato-patch, much as Jackson did after the elect¬ ion of Adams in 1S25. lie is the one party leader who rouses enthu¬ siasm ; he is believed by many to have been unjustly kept out of the presidency and he has the political good fortune to be Helped in his ambition by his defects as well as by his qualities. Ask any ten of the shrewd old politicians today, who has the best chance to be chosen three years hence, and six or seven of them will say, as I do, ‘Bryan, if he lives till 1900.’ McKinley out of the question ; it is hard to re-elect any president—and his weakness has done in eight months vvliat it took Andrew Johnson a full year to accompish—made him the one candidate who cannot be nomi- nated, except by himself, as Tyler and Johnson were. His second tariff is going to hurt his reputation almost as much as his first one hurt his party; his currency policy is not going to unite his friends, and as for his foreign policy who can guess what it will be? That Hanna hangs as a dead weight about his grateful neck ; and Hanna cannot do the financial trick twice, by which he frightened and bought his way to success last year. The Ohio election—whether he squeezes through into the senate or not— shows what his future luck would be in the whole country.” The Journal may do some mischief and help encourage the mugwumps of east and west, but we believe that their efforts will be m vain. It is just as well, how¬ ever, to know what they design and be prepared for them. A Cure tor Sleeplessness.

Mr. Simpson Preached Two Excellent Sermons, Elbmton Star, Last Meek. Rev. L. A. Simpson, the newly elected pastor of the Presbyterian church, assumed charge last bab- bath and Pleached two excel ent ■’Crmons.

In it he urged ! upon all the necessity of the confidence, love sympathy and prayers of the church foi the pastor, and harmony :ind co-operation of the members for the upbuilding of the church -d .he advancement of the cause of Christ. The service at night was appropriate and instructive, bein . scriptural to the S a answer question; “What has become of the believer’s sins?” There was an unusually large congregation at each service. Evin¬ cing the fact that our people know and appreciate good preaching.

SAID TO BE MAD. A Demented Person Frightens Women and Children. Special Correspondence to tlie Record. Mize, Ga., Nov. 16th, 1897. This community has been in a state of confusion for the last few days over the appearance ot an in¬ sane man, who has been perambu¬ lating and noctamhulating over the community generally. His name is Brock and he lives somewhere near Big A. He seems to go to houses, open doors and enter, teror- izing women and children. He has done no harm more than that of frightening people. Mr. Abner Manus, near here, chased him about a day and night without capturing him. Recently he has been caught and carried to parts unknown, however, it is hoped to a place of safety. J. C. w.

ANOTHER FAILURE. T. H. Ellard, of Turnerville Closed Out. Monday attorneys representing the creditors of Mr. T. H. Ellard G f Turnerville, closed his store and j put his business in the hands of a rece iver. Mr. Robt. McMillan of Q ar kesville, was named as the temporary receiver. Mr. Ellard had his stock of goods mortgaged for $3,000 and beside this there was about $2,200 of un¬ secured indebtedness, making tbe whole liabilities about $5,200, and assets about $2,000. THIS IS A SPLENDID SHOWING. Which the Elberton District Will Send Up to Conference. Rev. J. R. King, the presiding elder of the Elberton district has a very flattering report to make to the North Georgia Conference, which meets in Athens the latter part of this month. Under the skillful management of the presiding elder four new churches have been built in the dis¬ trict this year. One at Toccoa cost¬ ing between |5,ooo and $6,000, one at Hartwell between $7,000 and $8,000, tbe Elberton mission $900, and the one at Lincolton $700. Besides this the debt has been raised from the parsonage at Toc¬ coa, Elberton, Jefferson and Mid¬ dleton, and twelve or thirteen churches have been remodled and improved. What other district can make as good a showing? All the churches have increased the amount of their contrabutions and every church in the district ex¬ cept one has unanimously petition¬ ed for the return of their present pastors, and the quarterly confer¬ ence has also unanimously asked for the return of the presiding elder. Of course Elberton would not give up Rev. B. F. Fraser, who has so endeared himself to this people during the past year, without a vigorous protest. It is conceded that he will return to his present charge.—Elberton Star. The Greatest Discovery Yet. W. M. Repine, editor Tiskilwa, Ill., “Chief,” says: “We won’t keep house without Dr. King’s New Discovery for Consumption,Coughs and Colds. Experimented with many others, but never got the true remedy until we used Dr. King’s New Discovery. No other remedy can take its place in our home, as in it we have a certain and sure cure for Coughs, Colds, Whooping Cough, etc.” It is idle to experi¬ ment with other remedies, even if they a’-e urged on you as just as good as Dr. King’s New Discovery. They are not as good, because this remedy has a record of cures and besides is guaranteed. It never fails to satisfy. Trial bottles free at E. R. Davis & Co.’s drug store.

He writes : “My wife insisted, that I go for the doctor at once, but as he was out of town, I purchased a bottle of Cham¬ berlain’s Cough Remedy, which re¬ lieved the child immediately.” A bottle of that remedy in the house will often save the expense of a doctor’s bill, besides the anxiety al¬ ways occasioned by serious sickness.
