THE FARMER
Has the Remedy In His Own
Hand if he Will Only Use It.
Notwithstanding the hard times
scarcity of money and low price of
cotton; there are occurrences taking
place every day which has a ten
dency to divert our mind for the
moment from the great financial
depression, that hangs like a dart,
pall over our once happy and pros
perous country.
For instance, tlie gold excitement
In the far ofi‘ frigid regions of Alaska,
is attracting no small degree of at
tention; many are preparing to try
their foitones in the land of the
walrus and polar bear; there is a
great unrest pervades a large por
tion of our people; and the discon
tented depressed and dejected are
willing to take desperate chances to
recuperate their fortunes. It is to
be hoped that success may attend
their venture; for at best it is a per
ilous and hazardous undertaking.
Then comes the Cuban muddle;
many sniff the reft field of carnage
from afar; already one of Uncle
Sam’s big battle ships is gracefully
riding at anchor in the harbor of
Havana, guns shotted; and ready for
any crisis that may arise.
Then the political outlook in Geor
gia at this early stage of the game, is
assuming vast proportions; hundreds
are reaching out for government
pay: They find it much easier to
draw a good fat salary from the pub
lic crib; than it is to get down to
hard work and earn it All of which
presents a gloomy prospect for tlie
countrv; and simply demonstrates
the fact that ail occupations are on
the wane.
The gallant plow boy seems to be
in the lead for governor; and from
the present outlook is likely to re
main so to the finish. It is now
generally conceded that Colonel
Candler will have no opposition; and
the race will he altogether a one
sided affair. We hope when he as
stiines the responsibility of governor,
that he will remain at his post of
duty; and not be junketing about the
country on free ] a ses, attending
hull fights aud other like refined
entertainments; just now the papers
are out with blazing dead lines an
nouncing the arrival of Governor
Atkinson front a ti ip into Mexico,
and making as grand a display ovtr
him as if he were some prince or pon
tate just in from an inspection of his
vast possessions; the people have
had enough of such lot.
We are looking forward to seine
hot times in the old fifth; Tom 1 1-
der has thrown dowu tnc gauntlet to
our Uncle Lon, and it is piedicted
by the knowing ones, that Tom will
run square up against a live wire.
Lon is an old stager at that kind of
business, and there is not a shrewder
or a more adroit politician in the
state than L. F. Livingston; there
are three other candidates m the
field; hut if we make no mistake,
Lon will make it extremely lively
foi the whole push. Politics is an
uncertain factor in life’s somewhat
cbevured career; and when a man
takes up his cudgel to fight his way
into office, there is no telling where
lie may land. The corrupt methods
employed to secure office have be
come so glaring, that hundreds of
„en, possessed of marked ability:'
gggg'
have such a high sense of self respect
that they decline to enter into the
scramble. They prefer to remain in
private life, rather than subject them
selves to the manipulations of a gang
of shrewd political tricksters. It is
Indeed lamentable that we should be
burdened with so many corrupt
methods resorted toby the wise pol
itician, in order to secure the plums
made possible by Uncle Sam’s toil icy
millions. Of all these toilers "ii
contribute their hard earned dollars
to sustain the government, the far
mer is the most submissive. There
is no problem in Kctid more difficult
of solution than the status of the
farmer, all syndicates and combina
tions of capital at the money centers,
is demoralizing to his interest. We
started out to write so.nothing of
polities and politicians, but find no
have diverged from tlio main tract,
and will conclude by stating that if
we wish to better our condition we
must act independent of all parties,
and support only such men as adhere
to the principle that all legislation
must be in the interest of the masses;
do this and the day is not far distant
when monopolies lings and corpora
tioiis will have lost their power to
oppress the people, choose whom
you will have to serve you; and don't
waste your strength in wrangling
over the success of any self consti
tuted candidate, tor in so doing you
3ie engaged in a useless work, ro
member the great value of the ballot
to the American people. It is the
magnacharta of American 'liberty.
The farmer has the remedy in his
own hand, if he will only use it intel
iigently. Juit feeding the iov
while the other fellow gets the milk,
and all will be lovely;

Bringing About Gen
eral ltctoruis.
Athens, On., January 18, 1898. Hon.
Allen D. Candler, Gainesville, Ga.—
Dear Sir: We, the undersigned citi
zens of Athens and Clarke county.
have noted with pleasure the frequent
and favorable mention of your name by
,he press of the state in connection
with ihe next gubernatorial election.
Your peculiar fitness for the high office
of governor is reudily recognized by all
who know you. Active, able and hon
est, you have fully met all the duties
and responsibilities of private life and
public station.
In 1861 you responded promptly to
the call to arras: and in camp, on
march and battlefie.d illustrated by
your conduct the fortitude and hero
ism of the eonfederata soldier, sealing
with your life’s blood your devotion to
Georgia, and to principle. You volun.
toered with the firs; you returned with
the last. After the termination of
that disastrous conflict you were
culled to represent the county of Hall
in the general assembly of the state.
There you acquitted yourself with
honor.
In 1882- :n the hour of dire need,
you were named by the democracy of
the ninth congressional district as its
standard bearer. In the two preced
ing campaigns defeat and disaster
had attended the result, and her cho
sen <l,amnions had gone down before
the fierce assaults of the opposition.
The party was demoralized, the op—
position flushed with repeated visto
vies, was confident’ Without bolicita
tion or knowledge on your part you
were nominated and the convention
adjourned. The result is history'.
The man and the hour had met.
After the most brilliant contest in its
history the glorious old ninth was re
deemed, and once more the triumph
ant banners of democracy waved
pri ully and high over her mountain
tops. Your services in congress to
your people and the country at large
were emminentlv efficient and satis—
factoiy. At the end of your congress
ional career, embracing eight years of
continuous service, you voluntarily
surrendered your commission to th
people without stain or blemish.
After the death of the late lamented
General Phd Cook, you were railed
to the honored office of secretary of
state. The duties of t-' is position you
h ive discharged f litlif illy and well.
A veteran yourself, you will not tor
{get the veteran. One of the eomma.n
people you are touched with a feeling
of their infirmaties. A public man.
you are faniilliar with tho affairs oi
state. Ripa in operienee, loyal in
party feahy and patriotic in purpose,
you are tne man tor the place. Again
the man and the hour have met.
Believing that your nomination
w ill heal all existing breeches in the
party and that your election would be
accomplished by an old-fashioned dem
uccatic majority of IUO.OOO votes, we
earnestly urge you to enter the race
for governor at the not ensuing elec
tion. Very truly yours,

About all that can be said for or even
against Col. Alien D, Candler in con
nection with the coming gubernatorial
race can be found in the letter from the
citizens of Clarke County; and in the
reply to the same, both of which are to
he found in another colon) of this issue
of the JorKN.it, wliifch was the first of
newspapers of s>e stale that made the
announcement that'Col. Allen D. Can
dler, the "l’lowboy of Pigeon Roost,”
would be in the race for the democrat c
nomination for that office; We there
fore propose to stick to him: because
Ist. he is a true and tried old-time and
pure Democratic man ; and has been in
active public service long enough for it
to have become a well established and
tin undisputed fact that he is the most
worthy man in Geotgia, for the highest
office in Ga ; that lies within the power
of our free thinking people, those who
would completely destroy all cliques or
rings now composed of strong believers
in, and supporters of the spoils sistems
of government, when the opportunities
fer so doing are offer,-d.
It is satisfactory to know that our
trade relations with Canada are on the
whole satisfactory, in spite of the at
tempt of editors on both sides of the
line to stir up bard feeling, heaven
knows why. Canada had last year a
much heavier trade with us than with
Great Britain. It is well to bear in
mind in connection with this that Can
ada has given to the United States bet
ter reciprocal trade arrangements than
she has to Great Britain itself. Duties
on British goods imported into Canada
are 4 per cent higher than on American
goods entering the Dominion.
Spain still whines that filibustering
expeditions continuo to leave United
States ports for Cuba. Well, why do
not Spanish cruisers stop them from
landing in Cnba then? With a half de
cent navy and half decent vigilance
Spain would keep the Cuban coast so
guarded that no little schooner could
run in and unload. The United States
has the whole' coast from the bay of
Fumly down to the Mexican border to
guard. Spain lias only the line drawn
around the shores of an island not as
large as an average stato of the Union.
What is Spain herself about?
It is of first importance that the
Alaskan Indians sliould in all ways be
conciliated and treated fairly by miners
and others in their country. If their
good will is gained, they will be of
great help to white people developing
the country. The Indians themselves do
not ears for tbe gold, or they would
have bad much of it long ago, but if
they t’hould become irritated against us
by being cheated or ill treated by those
who do want tho gold it is in their
power to make things extremely un
pleasant for ns.
Booker T. Washington, principal of

Brain Cells In the Finders.
A medical man recently assisted in
an autopsy ou a person blind from birth,
and he sought to discover by scalpel and
microscope tho secret of the extraordi
narily delicate touch the blind man had
acquired during life. Sections perhaps
a sixteenth of an inch thick were care
fully sliced off the inner surfaces of the
index and middle lingers of tho right
hand. Under a high power these show
ed instead of a single nerve trunk and
artery and vein of tho average man a
most complex and delicate ramification
of nerve filaments, dainty and minute
nerve twigs in immense numbers
branching from the main system.
Through constant use the finger tips of
the blind acquire this unusual develop
ment, with more and more perfect per
formance of function. —Chicago Record.
Buried Money to Avoid Alimony.
Conrad May, a man who figures here
m a divorce suit, acknowledged in oourt
that ho had buried $45,000 on his farm
in Wisconsin to save himself from pay
ing alimony to his wife. He refused to
say where it was buried, but yesterday
it was discovered by a farmer who was
hunting squirrels. He was crossing
May’s land when his dog ran a gopher
into its hole. The farmer began to dig
for the gopher and was astonished to
como across a number of shot sacks con
taining gold, silver and paper. It was,
in fact, May’s buried treasure. May
hoard of the find and claimed the mon
ey, which was paid over to him by the
finder, in all over $45,000. —St. Louis
Globe-Democrat.
Max Dukes Dug Up 84,500.
j Max Dukes, who lives iu Baltimore
j Hundred, while cutting timber on the
farm recently, struck something that
blunted the sharp edge of his ax. He at
once went to work to see what it was
and soon discovered it to be a large
stone buried in the ground. After work
ing for some time the stone was re
moved, and to his surprise a large iron
pot was hidden beneath it. Dukes was
not long in digging out the pot, and it
was full of silver money. He counted
the treasure over and found that it
amounted to $4,500. It is thought the
money was buried thero by a man who
lived on the farm during the late war
and who was known to have consider
able money, but bis heirs never knew
what he did with it.—Baltimius Amer
ican.
Large Cargo of Grain.
The mammoth tramp steamer Algoa
sailed from Tacoma a few nights ago
with the largest cargo of grain over |
loaded in a singlo vessel, carrying i
117 7,509 bushels of wheat, valued at
$312,000. The Algoa is bound for tbe
northwest coast of Africa and is expect
ed to bo about 70 days making tbe voy
age.—New York Telegram.

“Mr. Ward L. Smith, of Fredericks

had become fully satisfied that it was
only a question of a shoit time until he
would have to give up. He had been
treated by some of the best physicians
in Europe and America but got no per
manent relief. One day he picked up a
newspaper and chanced to read an ad

Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy, he got
a bottle of it, the first dose helped him
and its continued use cured him.

Longest Street Car Line.
What will be for a time at least the
longest street car route in the United
States is under process of construction
in Ohio. It is an electric road which
will utilize the ordinary public high
ways from Cleveland to Cincinnati,
thus bisecting the state. The lino
will bo 2C2 miles long. Its object is
to get the way passenger and froigbi
traffic between villages through which
it passes. Many of these have not
at present railroad facilities of any
kind. It will also pass by farms, en
abling the agriculturist to stop tho cars
at his own door aud load upon them his
grain aud live stock, convoying it thus
to market.
The line will pass through 14 coun
ties on the route from Cleveland to Cin
cinnati. The projectors expect to do a
great business in conveying excursion
parties, and in this they will not be dis
appointed. Special excursion cars of the
double deck cr two story pattern are
provided, fitted with smoking rooms aud
accommodations similar to a parlor car
on long distance trains. There will be
special freight cars and trains. The mo
tor attached to each car will be small,
of merely 25 horsepower, but it will be
sufficient, aud tho curs will run at very
short intervals. They will he operated
on the trolley plan and will make an
average speed of 35 miles an hour.
The possibilities open to a road liko
this aro hardly to be estimated. It will
connect directly with large business
centers sparsely settled districts that
will wake as from a Rip Van Winkle
sleep. It will scatter population from
the largest cities aud populate suburban
country districts. The small expense at
which such a line can ho operated will
| enable it to charge low rates. That of
| itself will boa boon. For summer tour
ists there could not be invented a pleas
anter mode of travel than this, doing
away as it does with steam, smoke aud
cinders and much dust. The only won
der is that nobody thought of each a
long distance street car line before.

of a physician at all. “Local taeat
ment” or “private examinotions
have been shown to he entirely un
necessary. The simple, pure wine ol
Cardui, taken in the privacy of the
home insures quick relief.
It is entirely unnecessary' for any
woman to suffer from these almost
universal complaints. She can get
a bottle of AlcElree’s Wine ol Cardui
at, the nearest drug store for SI,OO
and quickly put an end to the un
pleasant pains and derangements
Thousands of women are well to-day
cause they did that.

A STEP BACKWARD.
“The Loud bill to regulate second
ei s-i mail matter, which is now on
dt-r consult*r&t to i by Congress, is a
distinct step backward, and it is to be
hope i that no self respect mg legis
lator •-mli give his vote for a measure
which is bound to work detriment to
the educatioeal interests of the peo
pie Mr. Loud proposes to make the
H-<tal Dcpai ti '.ei t self sustaiuidg by
raising the rates of postage for all
ornirv ot complete books which now
pass through the mails at ono cent per
pound and to abolish the privilege
which publishers now have of sending
'■'ample copies at the same rate. The
result of this will be an incrense in the
price of books, which are so cheap
nowadaos that the poorest working
man may secure a nice little library of
his favorite works, A bill that raises
the price of books, pats a premium on
illiteracy, and should nos be passed.
Tlmre are better ways of mrking the
Postal Department self-sustaining.
For instance, why not make the rail*
roads carry the mails as cherply as
they carry the shipments of the exprefs
companies? It has been estimated that
this alone would accomplish the object,
we give in another column an article
upon this subject which will repay
careful rending. Our readers will do
much to defeat the bill by a postal
card pn t st, as snggesied.”
