A school house is needed in Toe-

If Toccoa is too poor to build a
decent school house, we might past
around a hat and get people who
are not interested in 'J'occoa, to
build us one.
There is considerable talk among
the friends of Dr. Jno. Mcjunkin
of presenting his name to the voters
of Habersham county as a candi¬
date for representative. Mcjunkin
would make a good one.
It will become a matter of won¬
der that there could ever have ex¬
isted those who thought it admira¬
ble to enjoy, without working at
the expense of others who worked
without enjoying.—Herbert Spen¬

A Georgia marble man says if all
the houses, not only in the Uniteu
States, but on tlie American conti¬
nent, were destroyed, so inexhaus
tible is the supply that they couh
every one, large and small, be re¬
built out of Georgia marble.
Capt. G. A. Cooper’s name i-
being mentioned in the different
sections of the county as a proba¬
ble candidate for state senator.
Capt. Cooper has a host ot friends
in the county who would rally ti
his support, should lie announce
himself for that office.
In a well executed eulogy on ou.
school house Superintendent Bar
rett asks if lie can again punch tin
bull's eye for more and bettei
schools; most certainly Professor;
we hope you can make the people
of Toccoa feel ashamed of the pres¬
ent barn, that patrons, by apology,
nickname “school house.”
Lay this away in your mind,
dear reader and think it over! \\\
will never have,on God’s footstool,
a government of the people, for thi
people and by the people until wt
have employment of the people, foi
the people and by the people. It
is possible upon no other basis

A good many honest Republican
are beginning to discover that th
Dingley bill, which as a revenu
measure is falling short every da \
was passed exclusively to reimhurs

Toccoa wears the proud
ion of being the first citv in tlu
state to organize for work for Allei
D. Candler for Governor of Geor-
georgia. The club has 100 mem-
bers—enthusiastic and devoted.—
The organization was named the
“Candler Club of the City of Toe-
coa.” The club proposes to
Col. Candler to address it at bi
earliest convenience.
We saw a telegram from Con
gressman 1 ate last week d.reeled
to a prominent man ra Toccoa tell-
ing of the passage the day
in the House of a bill which won hi
pay the church of which he was a
member a large sum of money, and
at the same time make this
man (a voter) feel kindly toward
candidates and Tate particularly.
We also noticed that the telegram
was dead-headed. Tate is “on to
the rope s’ and he is work ing them.
The Athens democracy, in call-
ing upon Col. Candler to allow his
name to be used as a candidate for
governor said :
“After the death of the lamented
General Phil Cook, you were

reta D' state - The duties of this

The Survival ot the Fittest.
Sotne who have learned the
Darwinian law of the survival
.he fittest, fane, that princ.pi. to
he an argument against Socialism.
Tbi* notion may be confuted in
either of two ways. In the firs,
place,one is to discriminate between
.he fittest and the best. By , he
fittest Darwin means only those
,
whose qualities are least combatted
by the conditions of their time and
surroundings, and as those condi-
unis may be evil, the evil individ¬
uals may be the best fitted to survive.
.n nines ot reiig.ons or govern-
nen.al persecution the unthinking
md the hypocritical survive. In
t ue Arctic regions polar bears and
•cals survive, while in either ol
these cases able and honest men
w ould perish. 13 ut unthinking and
uypocritical persons and polarsand
Mails are not better than able and
mnest men nen.
When we leave the fittest am.
come.to the best, we find something
quite different. The best men are
those who most enhance the hap
pi ness of themselves and ot hers.
An examination of the men who
iave accumulated the greatest
anes will show that they are not oi
ihat constitution which most en-
dances the happiness of self and
others. They are narrow, ableonh
.n one particular direction,
ly prejudiced and flagrantly
Headed in all other fields of human
thought and feeling, and intolerably
dishonest, unscrupulous, unpatriot¬
ic and rapacious. Of the fittest,
ur present unlovely millionairs art.
1 ivpe; ot the best, Abraham Lin-
In.
And, in lhe second place, wt
.’.ust distinguish between amassing
aoney and surviving. To set up 1
■a raid between the Darwini.i
Principle and our economic systen ,
would be requisite to show that
le wealthy kill off the poor, a
nong he ists of prey, or that ihe
:1 breed them. This they do 1 ol
lo. They do not exterminate t! t
.vorkingmen, but make them inN
-'able; they torture, but do no
upplant them, and they ire so fai
rom outbreeding them that tht \
beget a smaller percentage of c j i j_
dren. Either of the
refutations is sufficient.—Cominon-

Dr >’ Goods Chronicle spoke of the
advanta ge to southern mills of their
oleven-hour day, and noted a move-
ment, then proposed in the Ameri-
enn Federation of Labor, to agitate
tor a shorler du in lhe soulhern
inills - The differences in cost now
lamented were then perfectly ob-
v ,OUh ’ and were discussed in this
paper, full credit being given to
the respective advantages of North
and South. And yet, in that same
month, one of the largest cotton
manufacturers of New Engl nd,
icing inteviewed on the subject by
The Chronicle, refused to admit
hat there was such a thing
-outhern competition with Fal
River.
It is remarkable that during all
ns time no effort has been made
> bring about Mr. Coolidge’s other
i.ernative. It is unfortunate that
nployers feel themselves shut up
xclus vely to movements in out
irection, and that to the distress
1 tlie woikers. Some mills have,
uleed, been run without profits.
AfMblv the surplus of print cloths
as been accumulated in a benevo-
ent desire to pay wages as long
o>sible. Let us give full credi ;
vet the direction of the present
move is none the less unfortunate.
Is there no other alternativer It
is said that southern mills are to a
„ t extent- free from taxation,
while those of New England bear
“ k ' rge ‘ hare °‘ ,he P ubl,c bardc " > '
Why should not the Arkwright
Ciub’s Legislative Committee ask
he state to decrease .he taxation ol
the mills a half, if not all? That
ls . fegithnate request, much urn
so than that to abolish the work-
wee k limit, and more hkeiv to bt
*
., r anted
Again, it is clear that market foi
cotton goods, at least for prin
cloths, is overproduced. Reducing
wages won’t lessen it, except b\
, n eans of a strike. Congress is 11
seS si on . Suppose tne
Club petition that body to
the eight-hour law, which prevail.-
the na\ y vards and other Gove n-
me nt employment,where the seven-
b° ur ru l e does not appl\, to ab tlit
cotton mills of the country. Such
a law enacted would sUiaik the re-
cent output of cottons to quite
within the consumptive capacity of
the market, and enable all hands to
defer the discussion of wage adjust-
ment to a more suitable season. Jt
would put the Is ot all .
mi sections
on an equality as to hours,and give
N v' E igiand a new lease of life.
Besides, it would probably be but
,n anticipation of what labor, with ,
the ballot in hand, will in a few
years bring to pass.

Why should , ,, a national . , bank , ,
permitted to issue money on a gov¬
ernment bond when other owners
of such bonds are allowed no such
privillege? Just stop a moment
and think of that proposition. If
I own $1,000 of United States
bonds why should I not be allowed
to send them to Washington and
get circulating notes for their fuli
value? Is the bond any better se¬
curity when forwarded by a bank?
Gage has proposed the grandest
steal ever suggested, Under hi>
plan the banks would own the
whole country in a few years. No
wonder the Standard Oil Company
has gone into the banking business
in anticipation of the passage of
Gage’s plan. The few big banks
which now hold the greenbacks,
ireasury notes and silver certificates
will found and own all the small
branch banks. They will have for
all time a monopoly in the mone}
business, and the government will
stand the losses and pay interest on
ts own money . There are billion
in it , and it mav be possible to buy

Rabun Gap, Feb. 1.—We have
had a protracted meeting here at
the Baptist Church for two weeks
which has resulted in much good
being done, as there have been
wards of twenty conversions and
several accessories to the church.
On Friday last Mr. Wesley Cui-
tis attended church and went home
with Mr. H. A. Keenor to spend
the night. After eating a hearty
supper he complained of feeling a
little queer, and Mr. Keener had a
bed arranged for him and he lay
down; broke out in a profuse per¬
spiration, after which he com-
plained ot being cold. Mrs.
Keener prepared some stimulants
for him which he took. Mrs.
Keener informed her husband that
Mr. Curtis was breathing very
heavily, and he went to Mr. Cur¬
tis’ room and found him dying,
1 nd he drew only a few breaths
ifterMr. Keener went to him. Mr.
Curtis was a member of the Bap¬
tist church, and had been for
many years. W. T. N.

sons with their gentle changes, all
combine to make this favored re¬
gion the most surpassingly health¬
ful on the face of the earth.
No malaria exists, and malarial
diseases are unknown in tlie vicini-
y oi Toccoa. No epidemic has
tever prevailed.
This region is absolutely free
of yellow fever visitations. That
fatal desease has never been epi-
demic in any part of the world
with an altitude of 700 feet or more
above sea level.
During the summer of 1S88,
when the yellow fever was decima¬
ting the population of Florida, and
spreading consternation
the cities of northen Alabama,
when it dealt death daily, and in
1893 when Brunswick was devas-
tated by this dread disease, north
Georgia opened her generous arms
to receive the fear stricken refu-
gees, even though the yellow
-courge had already attacked them.
The terrified fugitives came
housands, came with fever
onsuming them ; came with the
<>uch of death upon their sallow
tees: came almost hopeless and
-paring—and breathing the pure
1 r of Georgia’s highlands their
ea 1th and strength returned.
And northen Georgia did not suf-
cr for its generous welcome. The
ever did not spread. - No new
tses were reported from contact
v it h the refugees, and those who
aught ti e infection before they
one, speedily recovered.
For more than two generations
this part of Habersham caunty has
>een famed throughout the entire
-outh for its unsurpassed healthful-
ness.
