Judge Wm. Fish, who is a candi-
date, asking the suffrage of the vot-
ers of this section and of Georgia
to return him to the bench of the
Superior Court He has made an
excellent reputation on the bench
and should be returned.
Vote for J. W. Renfroe for Pris-
son Commissioner to succeed J. S.
turner, the author ot _ the , r tamous
Duncan Rape circular. A
m$n who could write such a circu
iar and offer it to the negro to pur-
chase his vote ought not to ex¬
pect the white people of the state
to support him. We will not!
Hon. Mark Haidin, for 20 years
the polite and gentlemanly clerk of
the House of Representatives, was
in town a few hours last Sunday.
Mr. Hardin is a candidate for sec-
retary of state. He is a good man
for the position and no doubt he
will be elected. He has a number
of warm friends here.
Let none falter who thinks fie is
right, and we may succeed. But
if, after all, we shall fail, be it so;
we still have the proud consolation

Col. J. W. Renfroe is a mighty
good man to vote for as Prison
Commissioner to succeed L S. Tur- ,
ner, the author of that heinous At-
kinson document, the famous Dun¬
can negro circular. That one act
of Turner ought to brand him with
infamy as long as he lives, We
cannot see how an honest father or
brother could vote for Turner. Be
sure you scratch Turner’s name off

Remember Nesbit for Commis¬
sioner of Agriculture. He has
made the state a good official and
now that a few politicians want to
make political capital out of a mole
hill, we are in favor of returning
him to the office of Commissioner
of Agriculture as a rebuke to those
who would take undue advantage
of a good man. Mr. Speight, a
valuable citizen of Toccoa, says he
never knew a better man than Bob
Nesbit. Vote for Nesbit.
A system of public work having
much to commend it is that of “co¬
operative contract” in vogue in
in New Zealand. Under that sys¬
tem a public work is divided into
small sections by the engineer in
charge, and an estimate is made of
its cost. Each section is then let
out to a group of workmen, who do
the work under a foreman of their
own choosing, but who receives no
more than bis fellow. They ob¬
tain the full profits, which would
otherwise go to professional con¬
tractors and they share the payment
equally.—Exchange.
Prof. Jesse Macy of Iowa Col¬
lege thus concludes an editorial ar¬
ticle on “The Relation of Private
Property to Christian Character”
in “The Kingdom” for April 21st:
“The most dangerous form of com¬
munism with which this age is threat
ened is exaggerated variety of the
Egyptian type, in which a limited
privileged class will gain possess¬
ion to the means of subsistance and
reduce the masses to a state of per¬
petual dependence. The private
ownership and control of railways
and telegraphs and city monopolies
cannot permanently coexist with a
system of private property. If the
people cannot be taught to own and
administer all monopolies on prin¬
ciples of democracy, they will in
the end be compelled to submit to
a despotic form of communism.”—

The absolute security of our ter-

The acceptance of the Monroe
doctrine by the country that has
the most occasion and the most
power to dispute it.
The assurance that in whatever
part of the world an American
heard his own language spoken he
would be among friends.
The probability that such a com¬
bination, with its inexhaustible re¬
sources in men, money and ships,
would discourage attack and make
for universal peace.
AGAINST.
Among the things we should have
to take into account before consent¬
ing to anything in the nature of an
alliance with England are :
The chances that we might be
involved in numberless quarrels,
not of our seeking, and not natural¬
ly affecting us.
The danger that we might find
ourselves obliged to depart from
our traditional policy of opposition
to large standing armies.
The risk of losing some of the
absolute independence of action
that has hitherto been the chief
feature of our foreign policy.
The disadvantage of admitting
another power into such intimate
relations that it might claim a voice
in the settlement of purely Ameri¬
can matters.
The enomous expense in which
we might become involved for ob¬
jects of no immediate interest to
Americans.
The probability that such an al¬
liance would embroil us with other
powers that were our friends when
England was not one, and that
might be expected to continue so if
we maintained our isolation.
On the whole, it may be said that
while the discussion of an' alliance
may not be premature, its conclu¬
sion would be,in present conditions.
We are engaged just now in a little
war with Spain. We certainly
need no assistance for that. But if
three or four of the great powers of
Europe should form a syndicate
and undertake to gauge us out of
our victory, as they did with Tapan,
we might be glad to have England’s

On the other hand, we certainly

In the last issue of both the
Gainesville Eagle and Georgia
Cracker appeared an affidavit from
Mr. P. J. Shore, with lengthy com-
ments from each paper. Following
is tlie affidavit :
Georgia, Habersham County.—I,
P. J. Shore, cetify on oath, that
sometime in the early part of the
year, 1893, P. F. M. Furr of Banks
county, Ga., and a cousin of Hon.
with said F. C. Tate, then a mem-
berof congress ° " front the Qth district ’
to have J. II. Moore, who is my
son-in-law, appointed postmaster
at Cornelia, Ga., if Moore would
pay him one hundred dollars if he
succeeded in securing Moore the 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. \\ hen the latter received tht
appointment I afterwards heard
King had paid the said Furr one
hundred dollars and one ton of
guano in addition thereto. After¬
wards I met the said Furr and in
conversation about the appointment
of the postmaster at Cornelia,! told
him I knew what he, Furr, had
done,and he walked away and made
no reply. He did not deny the
charge when I told him what he
had done about said postoffice.
(Signed) P. J. Shore.
Sworn to and subscribed before
tne, this May 13th, 1898.
T. O. HARDY r .
This affidavit is quite a serious
charge—a serious charge against
Mac Furr for selling a postoffice,
and charge against Mr. Tate for
giving the postoffice patronage to
one man to be bartered away.
In reply to the affidavit we have
received the following affidavits
with a request to publish, which we
take pleasure in doing :
Cornelia, Ga.,May 20,1898. Hon.
F. C. Tate,Dear Sir :—I understand
that a charge is being made against
you in the Gainesville papers on ac¬
count of the appointment of Joe
King of Cornelia.
This is my postoffice, and King
was appointed on*my recommenda¬
tion, and had the endorsement of a
majority of the Democrats getting
mail at this office. Any statement
that other influences secured King’s
appointment is untrue,and in justice
to you I make this statement, and
you are authorized to use this letter
as you see proper. Yours truly
Jas. W. Robertson.
Georgia,Banks County.—Person¬
ally appeared J. T. King, who on
oath says, that he is the person
named in the affidavit ofP.J. Shore,
which affidavit of said Shore ap¬
pears in the Gainesville Eagle of
May 19, 189S. That he was ap¬
pointed postmaster at Cornelia,Ga.,
in 1893; that his appointment was
made on the recommendation of
Col. Jas. W. Robertson, of Haber-
shoin county, one of the patrons of
Cornelia postoffice, and on the en¬
dorsement of a majority of the
Democrats getting mail at tat office.
The statement that I paid,or agreed
to pay P. F. M. Furr or any other
person any money or any other
thing of value to secure my appoint¬
ment as postmaster at Cornelia is
untrue, nor is it true that I was ap¬
pointed through the influence of P.
F. M. Furr. T. T. King.

T. F. Hill, Ord’y. Banks Co.
Georgia, Banks County.—Per¬
sonally appeared P. F. M. Furr,
who on oath says,' that he has read
the article in last week’s issue of
the Gainesville Eagle, in reference
to the appointment of J. T. King
for postmaster at Cornelia, Haber¬
sham Co. The statement that Ire-
ceived from said King or any other
other P^on thing ^ny money, of property or any
value to secure their
appointment is an absolute lie. I
I bad nothing to do with King’s ap-
pointment, nor did I ask for or try
i to secure King’s appointment.

POWDER
Absolutely Pure
ROYAL BAKING POWDER CO., NEW YORK,
Furr had nothing to do with King's
appointment, and this whole article
in the Eagle is a dirty, stinking
campaign lie, and shows how low
and mean some people can be, and
how far they will go in their efforts
to advance the cause of their candi-
date. The statement in regard to
a quarrel between Tate, Furr and
myself, is as untrue as the dirty 'lie
in reference to King’s appointment.
Tate has all along been my friend,
and I have been his. He is a pure,
upright and honest gentleman, and
has made.the people one of the best
members of congress they have ev¬
er had. Such lies as are ground
out each week in the Gainesville
papers can, and should have but
one effect with all honest and fair
men, and that is to make votes for
Tate. A. P. Wofford.
It is to be seriously regretted that
men and newspapers supporting the
two candidates for congress are be¬
coming so personal. That is not
the proper way to conduct a cam¬
paign .
M:. Tate and Mr. Thompson
,iave met in joint debate, and per¬
sons who heard the debate say it
was conducted on a high plane,
commensurate with the honor and
dignity of the office of congress¬
man, and the friends of each should
certainly not descend to a lower
plane than the candidates them¬
selves.
This affidavit from Shore was too
contemptible to use in the campaign.
We did not believe the charge that
Tate had given to his cousin, Mac
Furr, the power to appoint all the
postmasters in his territory, nor did
we believe that Mac Furr sold his
influence.
Carter Tate has always shown
himself to be a clean politician,
whose desire has been to yield to
the wish of a majority in all local
matters.
We know Mac Furr, and we
know him to be an honorable gentle¬
man, and a good citizen.
We also know Howard Thompson,
and we do not believe this affidavit
of Shore was used by his friends
with either his approval or consent.
Vituperation and calumny always
injure the cause or candidate they
are intended to aid. Such things
should not be indulged in by candi-
dates or their friends, for the fur¬
ther reason, there is an election after
the nomination.
A Triumph of Competition.
Behold how good and how pleas¬
ant it is for brethern to dwell
together in unity. The Carnegie
and Bethlehem establishments
are affording a touching ex¬
ample of this fraternal harmony in
their bids on the armor for the bat¬
tle ships Illinois, Alabama and Wis¬
consin.
Congress fixed $400 per ton as
the maximum price to be paid for
these ships. By curious coincidence
each company bid at precisely this
rate, to one cent. By a still more
remarkable coincidence one of the
establishment happened to bid only
on the light armor for the Ulinis
and . the other .. on ,, the heavy . armor.
It occurred to the Bethlehem com-
pany that it would like to make all
the armor for the Alabama and none
for the Wisconsin, while Mr. Car-
! negie was willing to make all the
armor for the Wisconsin and none
! for the Alabama. Each company
1 is willing to deliver 300 tons P er
month, which is about half the
; amount the Government ought to
j have, and to begin deliveries next
winter instead of now.

would have the Government resort

INDUSTRY’S
CONDITIONS
Report of the Hassachusetts Investiga¬
tion Committee—Ideas, Deduct¬
ions and Conclusions.
Boston, May 20.—The Committee
on Labor of the Massachusetts
Legislature, in response to an order
authorizing it . to investigte . .• , the ,1
” ”
causes ot wage reduction in the cot-
ton mills of the State,has submitted
its reoort A to the General Court.
The committee admits the present 1
condition of the cotton industry to
be much depressed. It
that it nothing else has been accom-
pushed, as a result of the extended
hearing . both employers and
given,
employees , now understand , , , condi-
tions better than they did before,
It sought to determine what effect
the Dingley tariff and the Southern
m,1U ... . U bu .
on ' e C0t ‘ 0 " f"
Iiess of the state. It considers the
present tariff to be substantially the
same as the Wilson tariff, except 1
that . . somewhat higher the
it is as to
1 finest good, ° which are mostly made
*
i° ^ evv England. It is agreed on
all sides that the present tariff is
sufficient to give all necessary pro¬
tection to the cotton
against foreign importation.
The committee acknowledges
that the Southern mills are larger
competitors in business. The num¬
ber of spindles in the South has in¬
creased in the last few > ears eon-
siderably, but not sufficiently,in the
the opinion of the committee, to
menace the industry in New Eng¬
land seriously. It says that the
wages paid on the whole are good;
that most of the new mills in the
South are being built by Northern
capita’ ; that the cause of recent re¬
ductions of wages is the increase
m production and competition
:herefrom; that the mills have not
used sufficient of their earnings in
improvements and repairs, and that
they have continued to make com¬
mon grades, thus aggravating the
situation.
Recommendations were made
that Congress shall fix the hours of
labor and in general control labor
legislation to secure uniformity in
all the States ; that the law limiting
the hours of labor of women and
children to fifty-eight a week be
kept as it is, and that other States
should reduce the labor hours to the
Massachusetts standard, and that
die employees on their part ask no
amendment or addition to the pres¬
ent labor laws, as the. time, so soon
after a serious business depression,
is not favorable for such action.
It is a little amusing to staid, but
progressive, old Dry Goods Chron-
| icle advocating socialism,as it clear-
ly does in the above art i c l e .
It did the same thing once before
w j ien jt advocated a congressional
eight-hour law. But it probably
would have a fit if it was told that
it’s views were distinctly socialistic,
as are all these attempts at regula-
! ting competition and hours of labor,
uniformily in all the states, etc.
The trouble is,and it is the only
trouble,the competitive system as a
system,is doomed. And we will go
on blindly, adjusting and adjusting
by law until it is simply eliminated.
The trusts have a quicker and a
surer way. They just eliminate it—
and go ahead without wating for
laws, courts or legislatures.
When we are all members of the
Universal Trust there will be no
longer any excuse for either force
or suterfuge. Its a-coming, all
j right enough.

A Call.
To the people of Georgia:
Our common country is now in
I the midst of all the horrors and evils
of war. The military of the State,
in patriotic response to the call from
the President, promptly volunteer¬
ed their brave services, and they
are now in camp awaiting orders.
These brave men have made great
sacrifices in accepting these duties
in defense of their country and in
the furtherance of civilization. They
will be exposed to many physical
and spirtual dangers.
Not accustomed to the hardships
of camp life, these men will be sub¬
ject to despondency, disease and
demoralization. Far away as they
must be from the sacred influence
of home, and practically deprived
of accustomed religious influences,
it behooves the Christian people of
i the State to provide for them such
| j privileges and loving comforts as
1 may be possible.
i When the call came from Presi-
dent McKinley for volunteers, the
State Committee of the Georgia
Young Men’s Chistian Association
was quick to realize the opportuni¬
ty for practical helpfulness which
was presented to them. An army
committee has been appointed to
undertake definite religious work
for these men. The plan as out¬
lined has the indorsement of General
Miles and the hearty approbation
of the officers in charge of the Geor¬
gia troops.
It is the purpose ot the army
committee to establish a Young
Men’s Christian Association tent
with each regiment, to provide for
the spiritual welfare and material
comfort of the soldiers. These tents
will be provided with reading mat¬
ter and writing facilities; young
men’s prayer meetings will be con¬
ducted, Bible classes organized,and
other lines of religious work under¬
taken. A commissary department
will be provided for the benefit of
young who are sick. In this de¬
partment young men who are sick
will be furnished with light ^tiet
and needed delicacies gratis on the
order of the army physician.
To do this work efficiently money
is needed. Every citizen of Geor¬
gia should have part in providing
these blessings and comforts for our
sons. We earnestly request that
men and women in all parts of the
State will consider it a religious
dut >’ and privilege to have part in
P rov ' din g for »«* work. Cash
contributmns are needed at once.

the case prompts us to again solicit
a hearty and prompt response to
th j s appeal.
