We feel very proud that we were
one of the original Candler men in
Georgia. His majority of over
25,000 more votes than Atkinson
got two years ago, shows that oth¬
er people in Georgia thought a right
‘mart of the one-eyed pigeon roos-
ter.
The Record was the first paper
in Georgia to editorially endorse
and commend Candler to tHe peo¬
ple of Georgia for governor. Our
prediction that he would win,
hands down, has come true, and
the people of the State seem to
have taken us at our word “that
he was a good man to be made
goveinor.”
One of the signs of the times is
twenty-two Populist counties were
redeemed Wednesday. There are
a heap of good men in the populist
party who ought to return to the
party of their fathers. This elec¬
tion shows that they are seeing the
error of their way and are now help¬
ing to push forward democratic
success,and the only party needed in
the south.
Hurrah! for Jim Woodward,who
has been nominated for mayor of
Atlanta against all the^odds the op¬
position could muster—which was
considerable. Jim is a good,honest,
common, every day man and a prin¬
ter, and we think he will make the
best mayor Atlanta ever bad.
A Lesson.
The Democarts of Habersham
county and the thirty-first district
have been, or ought to be, taught a
salutary lesson by the election just
passed.
Democracy has not been organ¬
ized (rigidly) in this county for
some years, and as a consequence a
very small vote was polled and the
populists came near doing consider¬
able damage to tbe democratic ma¬
chinery.
People in this section—and for
that matter, all over the State,
were disgusted with our primary—
in fact it was a farce and did not
represent democratic sentiment in
some instances, and probably in
many. Therefore there was luke¬
warmness in the party at the gener¬
al election. This was caused by
populists, republicans and indipen-
dents helping to nominate tbe dem¬
ocratic candidates.
We suggest this plan : That
the next primary be strictly a dem¬
ocratic primary; that the executive
committee draw the rules strictly
and assuredly ; that no one but an
organized democrat, be allowed to
vote in democratic primary; a man
must have his name on the rolls of a
democratic club to be eligible to
vote ; that a club be formed in every
militia district in the county, by this
means democarcy pure and simple
would be the result.
We throw out these hints because
the election is now over and we
have time to get ourselves aligned
for business two years hence. Let
us be done with these apathetic
elections, and make them of service
to the true manhood of the country
and the citizens who control it.
Perkins Wins.

sham and Franklin give M. T. Per-
kins, the democratic nominee for

A Georgian’s Invention.
Tifton, Ga., October 5 . —Mr.
H. Peterson, of Willacoochee, a
practical long-cotton ginner, has an
invention on which he has just re¬
ceived a patent which is calculated
to almost revolutionize long-cotton
ginning, and greatly lessen the
time and labor required
for putting the staple on the mar¬
ket.
It is a covering for the gin roller,
which he claims will extract the
seed without tearing or injuring the
lint; will make a larger yield from
seed cotton, and last as long as
three ordinary roller coverings.
His son is an inventor of an axle
or bearing for wagons, vehicles of
all kinds, or machinery, which is a
novelty of genius. It takes up all
lost motion as soon as it becomes
apparant, always presents a new
surface to wear, keeps out all grit,
dust or dirt, and will prctically,
never wear out. He has been of¬
fered a large sum in cash for his
patent, but refused, and intends at
an early date to make a tour of the
large vehicle and machinery manu¬
facturing concerns of the nojth and
west and sell the right to use his
patent on their products.

HELD AS HOSTAGES.
Bear Island Indians Decoy U. S.
Harshal and Inspector to
Reservation.
Walker, Minn., Oct. 4.—There
is intense excitement here. A story
has come in that United States Alar-
shal O’Connor and Inspector Tink-
er haye been captured by the Bear
Island pillager Indians and held as
hostages.
Early today two emissaries from
the Bear Islanders put in an appear¬
ance and announced that the bucks
for whom warrants had been issued
would surrender provided that the
entire tribe be permitted to confer
with Marshal O’Conner and the
inspector, The officers were ad-
vised not to trust to the represen¬
tations of the Indians who stipulat¬
ed that they would not treat with
the whites if any other persons than
the marshal and inspector went to
the island.
O’Connor and Tinker at once
made arrangements to leave. Half
an hour after their departure some
of the Indians about town began
boasting that they would never re¬
turn. No stock was taken in these
assertions at first, but as the talk
became louder it began to be be¬
lieved that a preconcerted plan of
the indians for the capture of the
two officers had been carried out.
The distance to Bear Island by
steamer is about thirty miles. Both
tbe marshal and inspector went en¬
tirely unarmed.
The arrival of General Bacon
with re-inforcements from Fort
Snelling this evening is anxiously
awaited.
A Toast to Our Flag.
At a champaign supper to some
captains of the navies of England,
Russia, Turkey, France and Amer¬
ica, a toast from each one in honor
of the flag he defended was called
for and the following are the toasts
given :
The Russian said : ( t Here is to
the bars and stars that have never
been torn down. 9 5
The Turk said : “Here is to the
moon of Turkey whose wings have
never been clipped.”
The Frenchman said : “Here is
to the cock of France whose feath¬
ers have never been pulled. 9 9
The American said : “Here is to
the stars and stripes of America,
which have never known defeat. 9 9
The Englishman concluded as
follows: “Here is to the rampant
roaling lion of Great Britian, that
has torn down the stars and bars of
Russia; who clipped the wings of
the inoons of Turkey; who pulled
the feathers of the cock of France
and ran like h— from rhe stars and
stripes of theLmited States of Amer¬
ica.”—Exchange.

your commercial work for you in the highest style of
the art of simplicity—something to give distinctive-
ness to your letterheads, billheads, cards, etc., and
we’ll do the press work equally as well.
