Democrats should all turn out
and vote for Cartea Tate next Tues¬
day, just to see how large his ma¬
jority will be.
Two years from next Tuesday
the democrats are going to see
whether they are going to elect a
president or not. Who will be the
democratic standard bearer tor that
election ?
Popular Bill Charters, of Dahlon-
ega, beat Fletcher Johnson, of
Hall, for Solicitor General of the
Northeastern cfrcuit, and will suc¬
ceed Howard Thompson. Mr.
Charter’s majority in the nomina¬
ting convention was three votes.
Chas. L. Bass, Habersham’s rep¬
resentative, will most assuredly
look after the people’s Interest.
Charley is honest, and being hon¬
est, he is not the man to betray the
people’s trust. We think there
are better things in store for Char¬
ley.
M. T. Perkins, our senator is not
lost in the discharge of his duties
as senator. Mr. Perkins was twice
a member of the legislature, and
made many friends while there who
are now glad to help him in any
new legislation which affects his
constituents. We believe Mr. Per¬
kins will do as much, or more than
anyone who has heretofore repre¬
sented the 31st.
Judge J. B. Estes, of Gaines¬
ville, will be our next judge. He
beat Judge Kimsey by twelve votes
in the democratic caucus of the
two houses of legislature last week.
'In Judge Kimsey, our district
looses a good man, and in Judge Es¬
tes our district gets an able, com-
petant and honorable successor to
Judge Kimsey. We congratulate
Judge Estes.
Let every man who is a friend to
Hon. F. C. Tate go to the polls on
Tuesday, November the 8th, and
vote for him. Nothing can be gain¬
ed by doing otherwise. There is
not a truer friend to the people of
all classes than Mr. Tate has prov¬
en himself to be, and their is no rea¬
son to believe that he will be found
to be less true to the interests of the
people in the future than he has
been in the past. It is true that the
opposition to him in the present race
will amount to. very little qn the day
of the elction,but <Jon’t let that keep
anyone from doing his duty. Every
man ought to take an interest in hel¬
ping to give Mr. Tate the biggest
majority he has every received—

We heard a gentleman who
travels for a grocery house say the
other day “that there was no mon¬
ey in the grocery business; unless
it be those fellows in the city who
own a corner grocery with a whis¬
ky shop in the rear; I had few such
customers and I thought they
would sell enough whisky to pay
their grocery bills, but it is a fact I
was beaten out of a good deal of
money.” Another listener spoke
up and said : ‘‘Why you are not
the only man who loses money;
now I am in the drygoods business
and I cant collect because my custo¬
mers must first pay for their guano,
and the farmers can hardly raise
enough cotton to pay for their
guano, aad so the merchant is out
a good portion of his money and,
as a consequence I am out quite a
little. There’s no money in any¬
thing now.”

Sf ult & Uvcr I r^TifS Dillc
Some Good Points.
In Gov. Atkinson’s messagedast
week to the legislature, we find sev-
eral things that are commendable,
and his ideas on ballot reform,
started by Col. Candler are good.
We give them below :
“No possible opportunity should
be given to the briber to see that the
vote corruptly purchased is faith¬
fully delivered, and thus corruption
will be discouraged. Neither
should an employer have any meth¬
od of ascertaining how his employ¬
es really vote, and thus the laboring
man, wh ^se interest may not al¬
ways be the same as that of the
capatalist, but whose views are
equally worthy of expression in g
free government, cannot be success¬
fully coerced. This becomes more
vitaily important every year, as
industrial and corporate factors en¬
large their scope and employ in¬
creasing numbers of intelligent
suffragists, whose franchises cannot
be too vigilantly protected against
any improper influences.”
He recommends that a day be
fixed by law for a general primary
for each party and that candidates
be voted for directly. By such
provisions and the adoption of the
the Australian ballot by statute for
primaries as well as elections the
purity of politics in this state would
undoubtedly be promoted and the
influence of political bossism largely
reduced.
Governor Atkinson’s wise words
on this subject will, we hope have
their proper effect. The legislature
at its present session should enact
some well-devised law for the bet¬
ter.protection of the ballot both at
primaries and elections.
The unequal taxation of the peo¬
ple due to the failure or refusal of
many persons to give in property
and to its undervaluation Governor
Atkinson rightly says that this
abuse and this injustice should be
speedily remedied.
We hope to see this matter re¬
medied. A bill has been introduc¬
ed in the senate by Mr. McLester
for the appointment of boards of
equalizers, which we think should
be done.
“I most earnestly recommend that
some plan be divised by which the
state can arrive at something like
a just valuation of the property of
its citizens subject to taxation, and
protect the man who honestly re¬
turns his taxes against imposition
from those who return their proper¬
ty at an improper valuation. It is
well to bear in mind that any plan
which you may adopt, will, when
put into practical operation, prove
imperfect; but as these defects ap¬
pear it will be the duty of your suc¬
cessors to correct them and continue
to perfect the law. Certain it is
that no system which can be adopt¬
ed can be open to greater abuses or
more flagrant injustice than the law
under which our property is now
returned for taxation. A proper
plan for assessment of property for
taxation will not only equalize val¬
ues, but place upon the tax books a
vast amount of personal effects
which now escape taxation.”
What the Southern Railway Is
Doing For The South.
[From Manufacturers’ Record, Baltimore,
of October 21.]
The Southern Railway Co., has
just issued, at a very large expense,
a magnificent volume, entitled
“The Empire of the South,” which
is artistic and beautiful enough to
adorn any library, and which
equals the best work issued by any
Western line. Such a work is a
credit to the road, and must prove
of very great value to the entire
South. It is a book which a great
system such as the Southern can af¬
ford without curtailing its regular
expenditures for attracting capital
and immigration, and in this par
ticular this road deserves the com¬
mendation of the entire South for
the broad scope of its work and the
persistency with which it is push-
ed.
When the old Richmond Termi¬
nal, which for several years had
been a football for a lot of specula¬
tors, and which, because of its fi¬
nancial and physical condition,rath¬
er retarded than aided Southern
development, was taken hold of by
Morgan & Co., with a view to re¬
organization, the Manufacturers’
Record said that it regarded the
entrance of the Morgan interests
into the Southern railway field as
of tremendous importance to the
whole South. “Their reorganiza-
tin of these bankrupt properties
and the development which they
will necessarily help to bring
about,” will, the Manufacturers’
Record said, “addjto the prosperity
of the entire territory tributary to
these roads.” Notwithstand the
long period of financial and indus¬
trial depression through which the
country has been passing since this
system was reorganized, we can see
many evidences of the great work
already accomplished. Partly
through the co-operation of this
company the building of the steel
plant at Birmingham, which is the
greatest single factor in Southern
industrial development for several
years, has been made possible;
through the work of the samecom-
pany Alabama coal is displacing
Pittsburg coal on the Mississippi,
thus opening a market which has
consumed millions of tons of Penn¬
sylvania coal; some of the great
cotton mills which have been built
South by New Englanders have
come,in part at least,because of the
work of this line; Norfolk’s termi¬
nal facilities have been vastly in-
creased by this system, the number
of good settlers which it has loca¬
ted South already runs up into the
thousands, and in every direction
are proofs of its active work. These
are but a few of the many things
for which the South is indebted to
the management of the Southern
Railway Co., and the publication
of this new book makes timely these
words of commendation.
Gov. Candler Takes Office.
Hon. Allen D. Candler was in¬
augurated governor of Georgia in
the hall of the house of representa¬
tives Saturday.
While the ceremonies were sim¬
ple and unostentatious, they were
highly impressive and were observ¬
ed with the deepest interest by the
members of the general assembly
and a great many visitors on the
floor and in the gallery.
After the able inaugural address
had been delivered, the oath of of¬
fice was administered by Chief
Justice Simmons, and Colonel Can¬
dler impressively kissed the Bible.
The great seal of the state was
delivered by the retiring governor,
Hon. W.Y. Atkinson, to his suc¬
cessor, and the ceremony was com¬
plete.
As the inaugural party passed
out of the house the new governor
was kissed by a lady. This incident
attracted considerable attention, it
being thought that Governor Can¬
dler had been Hobsonized. The
lady was, however, a close relative
of his,
The governor and the ex-govern¬
or went to the governor’s office.
The first duty performed by Gov¬
ernor Allen D. Candler was that of
administering the oath of office to
Hon. Philip Cook, secretary of
state.
The Wrong Man.
In last Thusday’s Constitution
we find a good picture of Senator
Perkins of this district and a citizen
of Habersham, but under the pict-
is this legend :
HON. J. M. WOOTEN.
“As a member of the last legisla¬
ture he was prominent in every¬
thing that concerned counties and
county matters, and he is a tireless
and persistent worker for his con¬
stituents.”
A man in Atlanta who made the
gallows in Fulton county jail has
been sentenced to hang. Should
he be hanged on the gallows he
built, this would recall the Biblical
story of Haman, and illustrate the
irony of fate.
If the people of the United States
had the money to pay for all the
cotton goods they need, the present
cotton crops would not be too great
to supply the demand. It is the
poverty of the people that causes the
supply to be in excess of the demand
That is the truth of the matter, but
some alleged wise men refuse to see
it.
Georgia has won many laurels at
the Omaha exposition. Governor
Northen will bring home a dozen
or niore medals which have been
awarded to the collective state ex¬
hibit and to various exhibits in the
Georgia building. It is a very for¬
tunate thing for the state that there
was among its people enough enter
prise and patriotism to make a
showing of Georgia resources a this
great exposition. The state has
never had a better or more valuable
advertisement.—Atlanta Journal,
A Narrow Escape.

“Was taken with a bad cold which
settled on my lungs; cough set in
and finally terminated in Consump¬
tion. Four Doctors gave me up,
saying I could live but a short time.
I gave myself up to my Savior, de¬
termined if I could not stay with
my friends on earth, I would meet
my absent ones above. My hus¬
band was advised to get Dr. King’s
