FOR GOVERNOR:
ALLEN D. CANDLER, of Hall.
FOR CONGRESS, 9th District ,
HOWARD THOMPSON, of Hall.
Joe Terrell has proven himself a
man of sagacity in not running up
against Allen D. Candler for gov-
ernor. Mr. "Ferrell has announced
Ins determination not to run for
governor. Sensible Terrell!
Gen. Clay’s child wfife, after a
general row with her brother and
some clandestine lovemaking with
her sister-in-law’s brother, lias had
to return to her aged husband’s pro¬
tection. She ought to have arrived
at this conclusion before she left
Gen. Clay’s home.
Bob Berner, an aspirant for gov r«
ernorship honors, has had the honor
thrust bodily upon him, by Gover¬
nor Atkinson’s continued absence
in Mexico at tending bull fights on
Sunday. This comes about by
reason of Berner being president oi
the Georgia senate.
Fort Gaines Sentinel says :
“Uncle Mien” Candler is a Dem¬
ocrat of the old school, and those
who have become disgusted with
political demagoguery, delusive
subterfuges and new-fangled isms,
are rallying under his banner, The
professional politician of the slate¬
making order had as well hunt their
holes; their reign of traffic in pub¬
lic trust is fast drawing to a close.
It may now be possible that Un¬
cle Sam will be compelled to back
up his iron clad warships to Tur¬
key’s back door, prepared to load
her revenues, before we can get a
settlement for damages done to our
missionaries in Armenia about two
years ago, in destroying property
and lives, for which repreation has
been asked and refused by his au¬
gust potentate, the sultan. It was
necessary for Austria to back up
her claims with guns to get a set¬
tlement.
Dr. Steel’s lecture “Life in Dixie
During the War” was a most beau¬
tiful eulogy to those who stayed at
home to take care of their planta¬
tion and negroes and help those at
the front as best they could by fur¬
nishing them something to eat and
wear. Ilis descriptions were life
like and real, and his deleanea-
tions of character and persons were
as beautiful, clear and dramat¬
ic as if they had been upon the stage
themselves.
At our mast head to-day will be
found the names of Allan D. Can¬
dler for Governor and Howard
Thompson for Congress. They are
both good men and we want to set
them elected. We propose to make
a straight, clean fight for them, be¬
lieving them to be the best repre¬
sentatives of the people of this sec¬
tion, and we also believe the peo¬
ple of Georgia could in no wise do
better in electing Candler governor
and that the people of the Ninth
district would honor themselves in
honoring Thompson with their vote
as congressman.
There is no longer any doubt as
to Col. Howard Thompson being
in the race for congress in this dis¬
trict. His letter of announcement
uppears in this edition and also his
letter to Hon. Carter Tate asking a
joint discussion throughout the dis¬
trict. If we were to add that there
is no doubt but that Col. Thomp¬
son will represent the Ninth in the
fifty-sixth congress we don’t believe
we would miss it by a big majority.
Howard Thompson is capable, true
and honest and woifid make the
Ninth district a representative that
could be pointed to with pride and
to the Ninth’s ascendancy, In
short, Howard Thompson is a good
man and will be one ot the leading
bers of the 56th congress,

An Outrage.
Last week, before day, on Thurs-
day, the men who are presumed to
be the contractors for erecting a
new court house, at Clarkesviile, on
their own volition or with the apro-
bation of county J officers or some
one who , is supposed to be respon-
sible, and in authority, demolished
Habersham’s court house. Where
the contractor got his authority to
destroy the building and, that too,
at the dead hours of of night (it is
said the work of tearing do wn com-
menced at midnight) ought
investigated by proper authorities
a nd also the Grand J Jury. The
people of Iiubersham county ought
know who is responsible! It U
said dynamite was used to blow the
building up beyond repair.
There is something at the bottom
0 f t his affair that ought to be ex-
posed, and justice meeted out to
the guilty ones.
Unless Judge Hill, the ordinary,
can explain this matter he will be
looked upon as the promoter of this
travesty on justice and the rights of
the people. There is an injunction
against collecting taxes for building
a new court house, but it seems Mr.
Hill has paid no attention to the
injunction or the recommendation
of the last grand jury, but let the
contract January 3d, for the erec¬
tion of a new court house before
the injuntion case, now in the su¬
preme court was settled.
Mr. Hill are you responsible for
the blowing up of Habersham’s
court house? If you are not re¬
sponsible, who is the responsible
party and where did he get his au¬
thority ?
Candler, Candler, everywhere :
from Tybee light to Rabun Gap
this veteran gentleman and scholar’s
name is the one to conjure enthusi¬
asm from the soul of the sturdy
yeomanry of the empire state of the
south for Georgia’s next governor.
And it is Gov. Atkinson of the
state of Georgia who desecrates the
Holy Sabbath day and turns out
with his military staff to see a
bull fight in Mexico a week or so
ago. The more we knew of Atkin¬
son the smaller, in our estimation,
he grows.
A Good Start.
It gives 11s a great deal of
ure to return thanks to our subscri¬
bers and advertisers for their kind¬
ness and support during the three
years we have been in Toccoa, and
especially, for the bright
before us, made hopeful only by
their effort and sympathy, and the
substantial encouragement given us
for the ensuing year. We start on
our fourth year as publisher of The
Record with at least double the
patronage of any previous year.
Wc shall strive hard to make The
Record the best paper ever pub¬
lished in Toccoa; we shall strive
hard, as heretofore, to build up our
town and our county and we shall
also strive hard to be worthy of the
confidence reposed in us by our
good friends in Toccoa.
Crossing Sketches.
The school at Liberty has swelled
to about sixty this week.
There has never been so many
new school houses being built in
this part of the state as are beiiw
erected now, which speaks well
for Habersham and Franklii
counties, in the interest of educa-
tion. 1 rejoice to see a grow¬
ing interest in such a noble and
useful cause and hope to see the in¬
terest get broader and deeper unti
every boy in our whole countrx
realizes a liberal education.
The post office has been mover
from William Haves’ to John H.
Hayes’.
Mrs. W. A. Flanagan was quite
sick Sunday but is better now.
John Wiley is preparing to build
him a nice and comfortable resi¬
dence. John is one of our most

old, had spent most of his life on
the farm lie died on. He was high¬
ly respected by every one and noted

The Business .Situation.
From The Patriot’s Bulletin.
The gold is being more firmly
established with each opportunity
of the present administration ; and i
gold, is as it has been for many |
Years the only primary money of
” '
the nation. Its r . .
continuation in-
sures the appreciated value of mon-
ey with periodical panics that must
attend each financial scare resulting
from an attempt to have the secon-
dary forms of money redeemed in
To swap the government off, as
redeemer, for the national banks
will in no tv ay lessen the demand
for redemption lr. gold, except in
so far as the banks become the
hoarders of all forms of money and
the people are without the usual
forms of money upon which re-
demption is asked. In other words,
with about total paralysis to busi¬
ness, redemption in gold could be
expected to stop were it not for our
foreign creditors who will demand
gold.
In the meantime, those believing
in the McKinley administration
and who own about nine-tenths ot
the money in existence, have had
their “confidence” established, and
are letting out their money. And
those of that persuasion engaged in
business and needing and able to
borrow money are gettting it by
becoming borrowers, believing that
it is an opportune time to branch
out in their business. We believe
that this latter class little dream of
what the gold standard and result¬
ing low prices mean and that they
will principally make up the rest of
bankruptcies of the next few years.
A debt, under present circum¬
stances, is ruinous to the debtor.
We advise our people to be frugal,
industrious and watchful, and if
possible to keep out of debt. With
an intelligent knowledge of the
situation one can by being aggres¬
sive and yet conservative save him¬
self and family from distress that
will come to others who are blindly
walking into a trap that the money
dealers have unconsciously^ set tor
them. The money that is now’ be¬
ing turned loose on account of a
mistaken confidence will tempo¬
rarily better conditions, to be fol¬
lowed later by a more serious sit¬
uation than before. And, our peo¬
ple should take advantage of it for
their protection.
There are two things to keep
constantly in view. One is to make
suitable provisions for one’s self and
family, and the other is, to be
watchful and take an interest in a
common movement for the protec¬
tion of the republic ; for, events are
hurrying us on to that time when ii
we have neglected the latter dut)
nothing will save us from humilia-
tion and distress.
Taxes are becoming more onerous
with each year and cannot be avoid¬
ed until unselfish intelligence gets
charge of the government, national
and local, when it can be made to
decrease instead of increase, until
it is brought to a minimum, or, the
franchises in charge of the govern¬
ment can be made to pay all of its
necessary expenses. At the present
time the government is looked up¬
on as something to be plucked and
the army of vampires, all well
dressed, are constantly increasing
in number and efficiency for accom¬
plishing their purposes.
It is a condition of affairs that is
mfortunately increasing the num-
)er of criminals, suicides and in¬
sane; for poverty brings with it a
biiglxting effect upon society.
What is needed is courage, indus-
ry, hope and good temperament,
with an unalterable determination
to get after the real criminals who
are responsible for our misfortunes.
Not, however, in the sense of ven-
geance, but to extricate them from
the influence of the devil, in whose
service they are engaged. To save
them is to save ourselves.

The Destitute.
Thev incy come come enrlv earl} hv D} ones ones ana and
twos, in groups 1 of six, in dozens
and hundreds, and when they had
congregated before the doors of the
t i New Volunteer Shelter” at 475
State street there were thousands
ot ... them. , hey , hungry and .
T were
thinly clad. Faces were pinched and
shriveled. Many of even the thin
garments were torn almost to rags.
There were old men and women,
chidren; boys and girls—and crip¬
ples, too—persons of almost every
age, but all joyful because the im¬
mediate future offered a few mo-
ments of warmth and a bountiful
Christmas dinner.
By 10 -.30 o’clock yesterday morn¬
ing State street, from Harrison al¬
most to 12th street, was filled with
the habitually hungry, who had ac¬
cepted the invitation of charity
through the American Volunteers.
Then the doors to the shelter open-
e d, and 500 of those closest to the
en trance were let in, where vast
quantities of edibles were piled on
j- be long tables. The people stood
up and ate. They went out and
500 more were let in, and so the
feast went on until 10:30 o’clock
last-night. When the shelter doors
were closed it was estimated that
the Volunteers had given a Christ-
mas dinner to 10,000 persons.—Chi-

not know why “thugs ’’and

and beautiful scenery, Toccoa
falls are just two miles away, and
a drive of sixteen miles through a
picturesque region brings one to

noted objects there are many spots
of charming verdure, clear, swift¬
flowing streams and abrupt hill¬
sides, massive rocks and yawning
precipices, that delight and awe

wells and streams, and the mild sea-
sons with their gentle changes, all
combine to make this favored re

No malaria exists, and malarial
diseases are unknown in the vicini-
