THURSDAY, JAN. 13, 1898. —lB9B. FOU THE BANKS COUNTY JOURNAL. Means a great deal; as we begin very earlv in the year to get out home prin ted paper, and this will enable us to secure more and better advertise meets, this means that we can devote more time to local hapenings and on that account we hepe to please those lhat like to leaßn what is going on right among the near neighbors. We will also endeavor to satisfy all those who like the news of the outer world, but as this town has not tele graphic service, we trust that you Will not expect the foreign news to appear on the same day that the best newsy events occur. And we desire to Bay that from the present we will use every effort to get out on time; and we wish that the correspondents would contiuua.ly bear in mind the importance of having their letters in this office not later than Saturday. This being the Journal’s first r ear in politics, it is deemed wise for us to let our position on all public issues be known right at the start, so that the public ninv know just what can be expected ot the Journal; and we desire to say further that we have ?s yet, the first state and county ticket to vote in this county, and it remains to be seen as to what the Journal favors and as to what it opposes. But to express our position very briefly, all we have to say is as follows; We are to be found always fighting for everything that we concientiously believe is right, and that which is cal culated to do justice toward the lar gest number of the world's population —realizing, as we do, that earth’s po'itieal affairs are now in, by far, the worst condition ever known, and of course as it is brought on by corrup— tion; we will be for anything or for anybody that will work for the better ing of humanity at large. Therefore, the man, men or measure > regardless of all political parties, that displays the strongest disposition to ward doing right; and also toward any thing that will crush all that is, in our humble opinion, wrong can always find strong support in the Banks County Journal. It seems like Col. Albert Ilowell, who was beaten so badly in the last City election held in Atlanta, ought to he satisfied. lie represents an element of Atlanta's people who do not care very much what comes of the public funds and it is to hoped that he will not even enter the race for mayor of Atlanta, our chief city of Georgia. The total debt of the United States on the first day of November 1896, was One billion Seven hundred and Eighty five Million, four hundred and twelve thousand, six hundred and for ty dollars and ninety cents. More easily expressed thus $ 1. "85. 412. mo-.’oo. This is running it down to .a very fine point, but it is not down far e nough yet; This includes all Treasury Notes, but just think of the size of this debt. Is it not enough to turn old Uncle Sam's hair white, make his whiskers drop out and fear having another pull of his long legs n.ade by another very extravagant Congress by bis trying to determine how this debt is to be paid and at the same have good and ecomomical govern— ment and at the same time please all the suckers like Hanna and Morgan and other big Bankers and Money len tiers?.

Places Himself Before The People of The Ninth District, s A full fledged candidate- Truly this is a “Political Year in Georgia." And judging from the out look at present, one would arrive at the conclusion that it is going to lie a long and hot year politically: but then we cannot complain, for we all like to ■e a grand batile faught, and very of ten we, as individuals bring about a battle solely for tbs purpose of seeing it faught out by others; and then if we bavo a friend, whom we have by our defires to see a fight, brought in. to a fight, who calls for assistance ef any friend that may be in hearing, it then becomes our duty to stick to our friend through thick and thin. Hon. Howard Thompson of Gaines ville, Hall county now comes out as candidate for the office ot represen tative, of this the ninth geugressionol district, in a very strong end nice let ter to the Democratic voters of this district; and after saying that he now standi, as he has stood, squarely on every plank of the national Democrat ic convention’s platform which was a dopted at Chicago, and whichofccursc makes him stand for free silver; He asks his friends to consider him as a candidate to occupy the position in the United States House of Represen tatives which is now occupisd by Hon. Farisli Carter Tate, of Jasper. Mr. Howard Thompson's letter to the people is as follows. “To the Democrats of the Ninth Congressional District— At the solicitation of friends through out the district, and to gratify an hon orable ambition, I announce myself a candidate for your nomination to the fifty-sixth Congress of the United States. Having been honored by you a* one of your delegates to the late national convention whieh assembled at Chicago, and which promulgated your principles ane nominated your candidate, Ho, W. J, Bryan, and having taken part in the deliberations of that body, I deem it useless to further express my views in this announcement. Time has dem onstrated the wisdom of that platform, and I stand now, ns I did then, on every plunk thereof ; and should I receive the nomination, and the same should be ratified at the ballot box, I will do all in my power to enact ir.to law the declara tion of principles therein enunciated; believing that the only hope for genera' paosperitv and the happiness of our piop'e lies in the triumph of the democracy, an i the successful promulgation of its principles into such enactments as that the masses may be able to earn, With industry, an honorable competency for themselves and families, Good gov rrnment can never come to our homes and our firesides through any other source. Hoping that my candidacy may meet with such consideration at your hands as that of a co-worker in your ranks ’e serves, I remain, with great resprat, Your obedient servant, Howard Thompson Gainesville, Ga., Jan, Bth 1898. I( is a well known fact that Hon. F. C- Tate is not ready to retire from the race to succeed himself; And of course he will make a hard fight in order to retain big position, which he has held for several years. And as we all know that both candidates have laige numbers of friends and strong sup porters throughout the district, this promises to be one of the liveliest of the many political races in Georgia this the “poptical” year, The friends of both candidates are very confident that the man of their choice will become victorious; and both candidates firmly believes that he will walk out with a large majority Asa joint debate is probable, we may now look for some lively times over in this corner of the diistret.

A Business Parable. o Once a farmer had one thousand eight hundred bushels oi wheat., which he sold, not to a single gram mer chant, but to ore thousand eight huu died different dealers, a bushel each. A few of them paid him in cash, but tar the creater number said it was not convenient then, but would pay later. A few months passed, and the man’s bank account ran low “How is this?” he said. My one thousand eight hundred bushels of gram should have kapt me in affluence unt'l another crop is raised, but I have parted with the grain and have instead only a vast number of accoun* is, so small and scattered that 1 can not get arouutl and collect it fast enough to pay expenses.” So he posted up a public notice and asked all those who owed him to pay quick ly. But few came. The rest said, “Mine is ouly a small matter, ami I will go and pay, one of these days;” forgetting that though each accent t wi s very small, when all were put to gether they meant a large sum to the man. Things wont ou thus: the mitn got to felling so badly that ho fell out of bed ann awoke, and run ning to bis grsnery founn his one thou saud eight hundred bushels of wheat still safe there. He had only l._en dreaming, and hadn’t sold his wheal at all. Mora!—The next day the man saw the publisher of his paper and said: 1 Her*, sir is the pay for your paper, and when next year* subscription is due you can depend on me to pay it promptly. I stood ir. the position of an editor last nigut, and I know how it feels to haa one’s honestly earned money scattered all over the country in small amounts. —Ex. Lamps, L? me Chim neys, -A.

Bren Men Attacked—Convention to Con eider the Suggested. Owners of great herds on the ranges of northwestern Nebraska have come to the conclusion that something must be done to prevent the killiug of so much stock by the wolves. The largest range herds in the state are to bn found to the north of Kearny, Neb. An ostmato of the losses of cattle owned by members of the North weft Nebraska Stockmen’s association has re cently been completed by Secretary Church. -L shows that 15 per cent of tbe herds are lost from year to year, and 00 per cent of the less is attributed to the wolves With the ext- -ption of severe uud sudden storm; the wolves are about the only source of serious loss to tbe producers of range stock in this and adjacent states. The reports to tbe sec retary agree that the damage is increas ing at the rate of 5 per cent a year, and various foremen say that wolves are becoming as great a menace to range stock producing as jack rabbits are to agriculture iu Australia. The reports estimate that about 10,- 000 wolves are destroyed annually in the territory. Most of them are killed by poison administered by the employ ees of various ranches. In view of the fact that ranchmen have been trying poison without any material benefit, tho reports agree that other measures are necessary at once, as the wolves are increasing in numbers. During tho past year all cowboys who ride tho ranges have been required to oarry rifles and shoot all wolves to bo seen. Some of tbe foremen propose that companies of sharpshooters shall be employed by tbe various stock associations of tho west and that they shall ride tho ranges in pairs and shoot wolves. This would be expensive, but it would enable indit'd nal companies to do their work with fewer men. Another plan suggested iB the em ployment of great wolf dogs to hunt the range in company with frainorg and rnn down and kill the pests. This plan is not regarded with much favor. The stockmen of this section have repeatedly had offers of packs of Irish wolf hounds guaranteed to catch and destroy any wolf however strong and wary in a very limited time. But the men who know the wolves best are not inclined to look with favor upon this scheme. They as sert that any wolf hunting dog that was ever bred would bo killed in one season on tho ranges around here if he came into contact with a few health' speci mens of the mountain wolf such as como into this section every fall and remain during the winter. They are as tough as*pino knots and as ferocious as tigers. They will frequently fight men alone, and in packs aro dangerous to range riders. They are as large as a blood hound and have fangs and tusks that are us sharp as knives. Two can run down and kill the strongest steer on tho range. They usually Fiieak up as close to the bunches of cattle as possible, and then rush down on the herd, scattering as they approach. Frequently a steer is killed for every wolf in a pack. They are not content with plenty of flesh to eat, but seem to kill for tho satisfaction of tho warm blood they find to drink, though when very hungry tho packs clean the bones. Tho mountain wolves are cunning and cannot be induced to touch a car cass handled by tho cowboys. They ap pear to detect the presence of the human being, though days may have elapsed since the bait was touched by human hands. Ordinarily tho cowboys put in tho best part cf tho winter poisoning tho pests. They take the carcass of an old cow, eut it in half and fill the pieces with strychnine. Then the poi soned meat is dragged to some isolated point i thei. nge. The nieat is greedily devouiud by the coyotes, and every one that partakes of it dies. But this air pie method will not work with tho moun tain wolves. These feroi .ous animals approach a carcass carefully. If it bas not been tombed by human hands for days, their keen scout wains thtm, and they have to b hungry indeed to touch it. Bo the cowboys ha-e to wear hcu> v gloves in ham ling tho carcass. If the cow man does not touch the carcass with his hands, but inserts tho strych nine with gloved hands, he may catch a few gray wolves, but these strong beasts find it nearly as easy to spring into a bunch of steers and kill several fine ani mals as to tear a dead carcass to pieces. They love the warm blood so much that it affords an additional reason why they pass the poisoned carcass when the live herds are browsing in the immediate vicinity. When spring approaches, the packs of mouucain wolves retire to tho fastnesses cf the mountains where for age is plentiful, ouly to return to the ranges as soon as cold weather sets in. Near Kearney, Neb., the states of Nebraska, Wyoming, Colorado and South Dakota come together. Within a radius of 50 miles from where these four 6tr.tes join more than #IOO,OOO worth cf stock is destroyed annually by wolves. This applies principall. -o cat tle, because there are few sheep herds, and these are ou privato stretches cf range. Foreman Henderson Clark of Three Bar ranch, in the extreme north western part of Nebraska, says in his re port on the damages from the wolf evil: “As an evidence of the strength and daring of mountain wolves I recite the following experience I had with two gray wolves of a great size late last spring. I was searching for a small bunch of my cattle that had wandered into an isolated section near the South Dakota line. I had seen a number of big, gnnnt wolves in the foothills, which slunk away, snapping their ugly jaws as I rode by. 1 had a six shooter with me. but did not anticipate t üble. “Suddenly as I was riding through a Persons who are troubled with id digeslion will be interested in the ex p irience of Win H.

T THOMPSON, Iloiner, Ga. small draw where the grass was nnusu ally rank and underbrush thick, tny horse gave a snort and a.bouud, and two enormous gray wolves sprang from the cover at me. One actually grasped my horse by tbe leg, while the other fas tened his fangs in the thick leggings I wore. The horse neighed with fright and pain and attempted to escape. I beat ono of the wolves over tho head with my whip, forgetting my pistol for a moment. Ho released the grip on my leg and again sprang at mo, this time getting a better hold with his teeth iu my horse’s shoulder. By this time I re gained my presence of mind, drew my six shooter and shot the brute hanging on to the horse's shoulder. At tho re port of the pistol the other wolf, which had been very industriously gnawing my horse’s bind leg, ran away. The dead wolf, I should say, weighed fully 160 pounds. He was six feet lorg from nose to tip of tail and looked as danger ous as a pnuther. My horse was so bad ly lacerated that he could not carry me home, and I was later forced to shoot him. This damage was accomplished in less than throe minutes. “This year the big gray fellow a are so numerous and dangerous that ull the range riders in my territory carry thoir winchesters on all trips of any distance. I believe if something is not dono to solve this problem the range of the great northwest, including Nebraska, will have to be wholly abandoned by stockmen, and the cattle industry will have to be confined to narrow limits where eaoh bunch of steers can be care fully watched by riders. ” The association will suggest a con vention in the near future for the dis cussion of a plan that can bo applied generally in these four states looking to the total destruction of mountain wolves. They maintain that it will do no particular good for the cattlemen of this part of tho state to wage a war of extermination against these posts unless they have the assistance of the stock men of the adjacent territory, since the wolves take shelter in other sections more remote when hunted too closely iu northwest Nebraska, only to return iu greater numbers when tbe hunt is less vigorous.—New York Sun.

Question.— ls ic too late to apply lime to my laud? How shall I puc if ou, and how much to the acre? Answer.— As a general tliipar it is best to apply lime iu the fall. It should be applied eveuly to the surface of the fall plowed land. It will gradually sink into the soil and perform a wonderful work there. To aid iu its even distri bution, on wl-.oh much of its beneficial effect depends, a harrow should be run lightly over the land. There are ex ceptional oases in which the application may be made later. For instance, if the soil is very sour, or if fertilizers without nitrogen are to be used. If ni trogenous ferti izer9 are to be used the lime should be applied iu tho tall. The usual rate Is from uue to Iwo tons to the acre. Gn very dry, sandy soils smaller applications must be made than upon moist ones. Other things being equal, the productiveness of the soil is, iu a measure, dependent on a certain per centage of lime.—State Agricultural Department __ _ THE HUMAN STOMACH NOT CONSIDERED A VITAL ORGAN BY SOME SURGEONS. They Claim the Present Operation on Anna Landis at Zurich Proves This to Be So —Complete Excision of the Stom ach Heretofore Considered Fatal. The medical profession o? New York is deeply inter jsted in the case of Anna Landis, the stunachloss silk weaver of Switzerland. Although Anna is 66 years old and has but one tooth she is not only alive, but is gaining iu health and strength. When Dr. Charles E. Wendt of New York saw hi rs late as Dec. 9, she was not only doing her full share of work about the Zurich hospital, but bad an appetite quite remarkable under tbe cir cumstances. Heretofore persons who have been deprived of their stomachs have had to get along with specially prepared food, but Anna Landis, ac cording to Dr. Wendt, retains and di gests without discomfort solid food. “I cannot give a better opinion of tbe conclusions to be formulated from this operation,” said Dr. Emil W. Hoetet, “than is furnished in The Medical Rec ord by Dr. Wendt. Every doctor will admit that this is tho first iustr’ce in the histor • of surgery of the complete removal of the stomach. This achieve ment upsets all previous notions and supposed physiological laws in regard to the stomach as au organ of digestion. If the stomach can be removed without injury to the digestion, it certainly tends to show that tho importance of the functions of thiH organ has been greatly overestimated. This case will then bo the beginning of a revolution of tho physiology and pathology of diges tion. “Dr. Carl Schlatter is a first class surgeon. Previous to this operation he had published some important articles. If there could be auy doubt about the history of this case, this doubt would he completely removed by the personal report of Dr. Wendt. “A complete excision of the stomach has heretofore been considered an ab solute impossibility without tatal re sults. It is au interesting fact, however, that this revolution in regard to pre vious views as to tho stomach is in con formity with similar revolutions which have been prod'uced of late by observa tions of the possibility without fatal re sults of injuries to the lungs, heart and even the brain. ” “It has long been known, ” said Dr. Alfred H. Little of New York, “that the bile, pancreatic juice and secretions from the intestinal glands have taken the major part iu the digestion, espe cially of starchy material. We knovV that the stomach digests albuminous substances from the fact that the stom ach has been found digested by its own secretions. “The first case of this kind was that of Alexis St. Martin, a Canadian who w r as shot in the stomach. A large fistu lous opening was made from the outside directly into the stomach, and Dr. Beaumont of the United States army made many interesting and valuable ex periments with the gastric juice, de termining the part it took in the diges tion. “Since then theft' have been other similar cases. For instance, there was the interesting case of Senator Murphy, who had a stricture of the esophugus and who was fed through an opening. He gained strength aud flesh and still lives. “Fora long time we have used en emas, keeping persons alive for months when tho stomach would not bear any solid food. “It is evident that the stomach plays a very important part in digestion. “Without doubt the case of this Swiss woman is a wonderful one, but previous operations have led up to it. It remains to be seer if sho continues for any length of time i retain her health. There have been cases, of course, where persons ex isted for a time upon these enemas, but after awhile they began to fail. The enemas probably received the benefit of the bile, pancreatic juice aud secretions from the intestinal glands. “In removing the stomach weremove only one of the elements of digestion— viz, the gastric juice or pepsin, tho ac tive principle. The spleen, which we know very little about, has been entire ly removed from an animal without great change, except that its appetite has been so increased that it would eat anything it could get hold cf. “The bile has been found to be one of the most important elements in the digestion of food. It is doubtful if an individual could live long without it. “I think that this Landis case, view ing it in any light, opens anew field for thought. Individually I have long believea that the action of the gastric juice was of less importance than sup posed, from the fact that in the use of pepsin in cases of indigestion I have never teen certain that the patients gained any benefit from it. Pepsin would naturally be supposed to help if gastric juice was necessary in cases o£ indigestion. “The stomach undoubtedly is very necessary as a receptacle. In cancer of tho stomach, many cases of which havo come under my observation, if it is at the cardiac end food will be rejected; if in tho pyloric, food v ill be retainsd several hours; if in the center, food will not be at all rejected. We know that under normal conditions food is re tained several hours aud that there is quite a change before it enters tho in testines. The combined elements might carry on digestion, hut 1 think that aft er a time the loss of '.he stomach would be very much felt. “Iu my opinion this single case as it stands is worth very little. 1 don't con sider the stomach a vital organ. It is nothing more than a dilatation of the intestinal canal. Without a stomach, however, a person would have to eat much more slowly than with a stom ach. ” —New York Journal.
