FOR GOVERNOR:
ALLEN I). CANDLER, of Hall.
FOR CONGRESS, 9tli District.,
HOWARD THOMPSON, of Hall.
Thompson for Congress.
Candler will carry Habersham 2
votes to both of the other fellows
one.
Thompson would not sell coun-
try post offices if you sent him to
represent you.
Paul Grant, the keeper of the
Pauper farm, has withdrawn from
the race for Tax Receiver.
One week from next Monday
the primary election will come off.
Be sure you vote for men who will
make good, conscientious officers.
Vote for Howard Thompson for
Congress and when you want a
post office you’ll not be compelled
to pay $100 and a ton of guano for
it.
Nesbit for commissioner of agri¬
culture is a good man to vote for—
a good deal better than the harping
politicians would have you to be¬
lieve.
Candler’s vote in this county
will be between 1000 and 1200.
Both Atkinson and Berner togeth¬
er will poll from 150 to 500 votes
—we rather think 300 will be their
limit, though.
The United States Government
has decided to hold the Phi Hi pine
Islands indefinately or permanent¬
ly, and to that end is organizing a
large army of invasion to be sent to
Manilla soon under the leadership
General Otis.
Laying Corner Stone.
Ordinay Hill writes the editor of
Tiik Record that he would be
pleased to have half dozen copies
of The Record to put in the cor¬
ner stone of the new court house at
Clarkesville which will be laid
with Masonic honors on tomorrow
(Saturday). The judge says -.“Come
yourself and tell everybody else to
come. It will be a public occasion
and the whole country is cordially
invited; the house belongs to the
people and I want them all to
come.”
Col. Candler lias been invited to
address the people there that day
and we hear that Bob Bernei will
make a speech that day in Clarkes¬
ville.
It Cost A Little.
What it cost the newspapers to
report the news of Admiral Dewey’s
great victory at Manila may be
judged from one illustration. On
May 7 and 8 the Chicago Record
received two special dispatches
from Hong Kong, aggregating 2,-
S86 words, for the transmission of
which the telegraph company was
paid $1,759.20. U nder ordinary
circumstances, it could not be said
that talk was cheap at that, but if
the telegraphic tolls had been ten
times as high the papers would
willingly have paid the rate for
such a glorious story as was that
which came from Manila.
The Evening Post of Cincinnati
says that the steet railway company
has beat the city out of over $1,000,^-
000 in taxes in the past 5 years and
that the gas company has turned
the same trick to the tune of $1
200,000. In Cincinnati a poor
man would have to pay for the
privilege of keeping a dog, but
these industrial buccaneers may
shift the burden of taxes to the
workers' shoulders in order that the
rotten royalty of Europe may dis¬
sipate its life away. For the street
railroads of Cincinnati as well as
the gas plan of that same town are
not owned in Ohio. People who
never saw the city, to say nothing
of having done any work there, are
the ones who derive the benefit of
this immense tax steal. Will the
voting mule ever tumble?
Bartering Post-Office.
Gainesville Eagle
Last week we sounded a warning
as to the v icious and unholy methods
which Carter Tate and his army of
heelers are fastening upon the poli-
tical system of this Congressional
district. The perfectly organized
scheme of trading and
in remunerative offices, cool cash,
and various kinds of personal favors
is enough to cause serious alarm to
all friends of good government and
upright methods. In these scandal-
ous things the Ninth district is tar
* adv , of , political , ** , division , ■ • •
in ince any
of which we have and any knowl-
edge. This debauchery of the pub-
lie , . midst stands
conscience in our
alone in its utter abandon, shame¬
lessness,and disregard of publicity.
In the days of reconstruction,and
since when menaced by negro and
carpetbag domination, many good
citizens have been willing to atone
for such political devices as were
necessary to beat an unscrupulous
foe. Then it was a fight between
Democracy and a dangerous enemy
of the commonwealth. But when
such methods, and much worse, are
invoked in a contest between two
Democrats for individual prefer-
ment, they must be abhorrent to all
right-thinking persons.
When we say the methods of the
Tate machine for perpetuating its
chief in office are unequaled in their
fiagrancy, we believe we state only
the facts. We have definitely lo¬
cated some of the doings of this
systematic machine of many wheels,
whose gearing connect with the vo¬
ters at almost every part of the dis¬
trict. As they are all of a kind,one
small part will suffice to show the
whole.
We will begin with Banks coun¬
ty, from which by reason of its
closeness to us we have been able
to get at the facts, backed up by
sworn testimony. For four years
past scandals have been rife in
Banks regarding the barter and sale
of post-offices by a certain firm
known by common consent as Tate
& Furr. The front end of the firm
is a Congressman, with influence at
the Capitol, and the rear end is a
cousin of the front end, a general
boss and whipper-in,with residence
in Banks county. The firm seems
to be prospering, as their receipts
in cash, guano, and other things of
value have been considerable.
To particularize: In 1893 there
were two applicants for the post-of¬
fice at Cornelia—J. H. Moore and
J. T. King. Mr. Moore saw the
home member of the firm post-office
brokers, to wit, Mr. P. F. Mack
Furr. Mr. P. F. Mack Furr con¬
sulted his price list and informed
Mr. Moore that Cornelia was rated
at $100 f. o. b., cash on delivery.
Mr. Moore agreed to take one. Mr.
King, who is a merchant at Cornelia
and wanted the P. O. in his store,
heard of the transaction and was de¬
termined to beat Moore, the rival
merchant. He studied awhile,mean¬
time scratching his head to help
himself think. An idea struck him.
He knew of a wise counselor, to
wit, A. J. Wafford, known as Ab.
To Ab he went in his extremity.
Said he, “Moore has swiped the
post-office at Cornelia, and I am
undone.”
“How did he swipe it?” said Ab,
chewing his tobacco.
“Offered Mack Furr $100,” said
the disconsolate.
“Huh!” grunted Ab. “Raise his
bid a ton of guano. 5 5
A gleam of sunshine fell athwart
the clouded face of King. There
might be a chance; and, too, he
was loaded, for he dealt in some
choice brands of Patapsco. But he
ventured :
“Furr has already promised the
office to Moore.”
“Huh ! You don’t know that fel¬
ler,” replied Ab, the philosopher.
In the fullness of time, it is re-
corded, the w r agons of Cousin P. F.
Mack Furr were seen wending their
way over hill and dale in the direc-
tion of Cornelia, and were seen
wending likewise back again, with

THE EXCELLENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
. due . not . only ,
is to , the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Syrup
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
5
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par-
ties. The high standing of the Cali-
fornia Fig Syrup Co. with the medi¬
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken-
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial

the air redolent the time with a
tragrance no akin to the balsamic
zephyrs from Araby the Blest,
Guano is generally able to hold its,
own against all comers in the matter
of unterrorized and aggressive
odor, but if it attempted on that
fair day f o outstink the transaction
that was the cause of its journey,
we venture to say that one time at
least it met its Waterloo. And the
smell of that guano has never yet
died out of Banks county. It is still
there on guard and crying for ven¬
geance. It will be a spur and an
inspiration to the sturdy Democrats
to place the seal of condemnation
on the iniquities of the Tate ma¬
chine that smells to the heavens.
When Mr. Wofford saw that out-
come of the guano premium that
had been added to Mr. Moore’s bid
tor the post-office he very naturally
did considerable talking. Ihe
brokers Messis. late & Furr,
hear of it. They ran across Mr.
Wofford in Atlanta one day and
triedjto bluff him. They told him
he would have to stop talking about
the matter. Mr. Wofford, who, as
he expressed it, “had a gun in his
breeches,” told them he’d be d—d
if he’d stop. They then told him
if he did’t stop they would tell of
certain transactions of his in regard
to the liquor business at Lula.
P. J. Shore of Cornelia is an hon-
orable and upright citizen, as every
one will bear witness who knows
him. We have secured an affidavit
from him covering the post-office
barter. Read it:
Georgia, Habersham County.—I,
P. J. Shore, certify on oath that
some time in the early part of the
year 1893, P. F. M. Furr of Banks
county, Ga., and a cousin of Hon.
F. C. Tate, in my house and in my
presence agreed to use his influence
with said F. C. Tate, then a mem-
ber of Congress from the Ninth dis¬
trict, to have J. H. Moore, who is
my son-in-law, appointed postmas¬
ter at Cornelia,Ga., if Moore would
pay him one hundred dollars if he
succeeded in securing Moore “ap¬
pointment. This Moore agreed to
do, and the said P. F. M. Furr
promised in consideration thereof
to help him, the said J. H. Moore,
secure the appointment. Moore
did not get the place,but J. T. King
did. When the latter received the ap-
pointment I afterwards heard King
had paid the said Furr one hundred
doilasand one ton of guano in ad¬
dition thereto. Afterwards I met
the said Furr, and in conversation
about the appointment of the post-
master at Cornelia, I told him I
, knew what 1 . , he, r* Turr, n had j done,and j ,
oh' Va d dJnot a m /e

In 1S93 Mrs. Smith, a capable

turned ..... out ot the post-office . * at Lula,
where she had served only a short
while, and II. N. Gowder, a cousin

In 1893 Mrs. Margie Morris,who
had five children dependent on her
W£Hi ~ turned out the post-office P at
and a Republican put in her
place. We do not know that this
Republican paid Cousin P.F. Mack
Furr for the office, but rumor to this
effect has been prevalent all over
Banks county from the time of the
appointment to the present.

To Satisfy the Hungry Man.
The Feudal Lord had a big Teu¬
tonic surf. The Teuton was un¬
satisfied. He said he would like
more comfort and less abuse.
“But,” said his owner, “your mis-
are due to intemperance.
What you need is a high license.”
“\\ ell,’ said the Serf, “let us try
it.” His condition did not improve,
d hen said the Serf : “I need more
privileges.” “Not at all,” said
the Feudal Lord. “Your wretched
condition is due to drink; what you

P :
4 4 That should be enough.” His
state was worse than ever. “i

the fellow. “Not you,” returned

yet more miserable.
“I get too little of what I pro¬
duce, said the Serf again. 4 4 Yon-
sense, 9 9 replied his Lord, 4 4 You
have too many children ; you re-
quire well organized charity.”

the serf. “You can choose your
own overseer,” said the Lord, “I
should govern myself,” said the
fellow. “Ob, no,” said the Lord,

life of the Teuton grew harder and
harder.
“I am going to have co-opera-
tion. 9 9 4 4 Dear me,” said the Land
Lord, take universal suffrage.”
The Serf grew poorer and shabbier.
“Give me a better currency,”
said he.
“It is time,” said the Land Lord,
“to resist these demands.” And
he lied to tlie Serf, and wheedled
him out of his purpose. The Serf
asked for just taxation. The Land

Remarkable Rescue.
Mrs. Michael Curtain, Plain*
field, Ill., makes the statement,that
she cauget cold, which settled on
her lungs; she was treated fora
month by her fatnil}’ physician, but
grew worse. He told her she was
a hopeless victim of consumption
and that no medicine could cure her.
Her druggist suggested Dr. King’s

with Scrofula, and he suffered so that It was
impossible to dress him
for th ree years. His
