Tb Governor of Georgia lias said
that the line between Ranks and Jack
son counties has been surveyed and
jtermanently located. By that decis
ion Banks county became several
thousand dollars worth of property
better off- but as yet we have not been
ble to hear of the taxes on tins new
territory being received by our Coun
ty Treasurer. Officers, how about it?
Perhaps Grand jurors will see about
these several dollars.
The three leading political parties
meet in Atlanta this month to pre
pare for opening the campaign in
Georgia. The People's party meet
on the 10th, the democratic on the
17th, and the Republicans on the 21st.
The state conventions of the parties
do not meet this tiihe, but only exec
utive committees and leaders of the
respective parties.-—Cherokee Ad

When Allen I). Candler decided
lo become a candidate for Governor
he resigned the office he held as
Secretary of State, hut we have yet
heard nothing of his fcllow-totVns
man resigning the office he holds as
Solicitor General of the Northeastern
circuit to become a candidate for
Congress in this district. Mr, Thoinp

Yes, brother, it will be mighty
nice foi Mr. Thompson to step down
aud out, at the expiration of his term
of office as solicitor; and thereby
give room for his probable successor
Mr Fletcher M. Johnson,
Mr. Tate will in ail probability be
compelled to step down and out, to
make room for his probable successor

Why sli on Id Hon. Howard Thom;.

You will notice that the race for
solicitor-general for the Northeast
ern circuit is between Mr. C! a ttrs:nd
Mr- Johnson and not between Mr.
Thompson and any other man. ,
This being the case, it cannot be
compared lo the Candler—Atkinson

For the Hanks Cotntj .tourntl
Politics iu this section for the past
week has become a back member; it
is submerged by the universal erv
of War; wc hear nothing but the talk
Battle ships, armored cruisers, mon
itors and dynamite gunboats; these
mighty engines of destruction with
their frowning batteries are concen
trating of! the little island of Cuba-
Two hostile fleets are now in close
proximity to each other, and maneuv
ering for position, so at hny houi
we may look for these Maine mon
sters to come together in deadly con
flict; they arc only looking for the
signal from Washington or Madrid
to clear Hie decks for action, and
belch forth their deadly missels o f
this signal is liable to
come at any moment. We are lis
tening every every day for the first
hostile guns to be fired, infact mattois
have gone so far that it seems almost
impossible to avert the great calam
ity of war. Troops are being sent
to the front, and heavy size guns are
passing through Atlanta almost every
day to strengthen our coast defenses -
Notwithstanding the boys are putting
on the war paint; and there is blood
on the moon, our uncle Allen is in
the lead for governor; and so far as
we can judge of the situatint the peo
ple propose to ket p him there. Bo
Bernei has slued his caster in the
ring, and is making ready to open a
raking fire on his antagonists in a
few days

On last Thursday the od in-t, our
community was saddened by the
sudden and unexpected death of one
of its most prominent citizens Mr-
Crandall L. Poole who was well
known to many readers of the Journal,
he quietly passed away at the home
of his childhood in the soutnern part
of this county. Without any warn
ing the brittle thread of life was
snapped. Mr. Poole had been feel
ing bad for several days; but his
friends little thought the end was so
near, he died as he had lived at peace
with ail the world, he had reached
the age of 60 years, and had lived all
his life in this(Fulton) county; ex
cepting four years which he spent in
the Confederate service; he was bad
ly wounded in one of the desperate
engagements of the War; from Which
he suffered more or less up to the
time of bis death, he was ever genin'
and afiia’jle with his friends, ns well
as courteous and polite to strangers,
the fact that he is no more will sad
den many a heart outside of the cir
cle of his own kindred who loved
him so well, he was a man trusted
and beloved by all who knew him.
The memory of his good acts will
long be cherished by those who were
the recif icnls of his unbounded bene,
volence; no worthy object of charity
ever appealed to him in vain, he was
no less remark able for his liberale
and generous contributions to the
needy, than for his amiable social
qualities: lie left a stainless record
and a memory which will live long
in matiy hearts; his funeral was the
longest that lias occurred in this
eommnnity for many years, One of
the most striking incidents of this
mournful occasion, was the large
number of magnificent floral gems
that enveloped the beautiful casket
that contained his mortnl remains.
In the death of Crandall l’oole
the writer of these lines lias lost a
friend whose memory will he cher
ished while i'e lasts, and ilio only
consolation we find in this sad be
roreavement, is, that the fiat of na
ture is inexorable. There is no ap
peal fur relief from the great law
which dooms us all to dust.
Peace to the ashes of our friend! a
happy thought pervades our heart,
that his spirit at this moment is
mingling with loved ones who have
gone before:
“Friend after friend departs,
Who has not lost a friend?
There is no union here but hearts.
That finds not here an end”
Fulton.
March llth 1893.
To the above wo desire to add that
in the death of Mr Crandall L. Poole
the editor of the Banks County .Ton--
nal lost one of bis best and lifelong
friends* whose dace caimat be filled.
The news of bis uentli wiien it was
received was such a sudden shock that
we hardly know bow to express our
profound sorrow.

PENSIONS ARE GROWING
The following extracts are taken
from a letter which appears to have
been received by all the Ordinaries'
from Pension Commissioner Johnson
relative to payment of pensions that
will bo read with interest. The com
missioner says:
“ It seems that ctio npprrpmtfon of
sooo, OOf) by the last iefidatim? for
psnsions for crippled and indigent
confeeerate soldiers and indigent Wid
ows of soldiers is not sufficient to sat
isfy the demands of all who have a
legal claim to shore in these benefits'
la answer to many inquires as to the
payment ot unenrollcd claims, the fol
lowing statement is made:
„ In all proability all widows’ claims
meeting the requirements of the law
wiil be paid.
The only fund available to paid un
enrolled soldiers’claims, both invali
mid indigent, is .uch as may be lett af
ter paying the respective rolls of 1807.
AVlint sue h margin may be cannot be
determined until the rolls are paid, and
every enrolled claim should be in this
office not later than the 15th of May eh
fas was stated in the circular sent out
on December lStli instant). After that
date they will be treated as paid,
though they will be paid if received be
fore the funds are'exhausted,
“It is also estimated that 250 heW indi
gent claims can he enrolled. There
will likely be more titan 3, 000 of such
applications.
“ You can, therefore, see how slender
the chances to pay new claims of either
class;
“The examination of now claims was
not finished in 1807 until July, and it
will probably take us long this year.”

—lt is clear, however, that these fig

relative strength- at all nccuratelj.
The figures for the United States
include the four big battleships and
other vessels now in process of con
struetion, while the figures on Spain’s
strength are entir !y inadequate
The recent additions to her navy
are not noted; and the Spanish ail
tborities have kept to themselves the
facts about the strength of their bat
levies.
Wlii'c these figures do not show it,
Spain undoubtedly has some advan
rage of us in that portion of her
navy- that can be reliev'd on for active
sen fighting. We probably have t**o
advantage in coast defense vessels,
being better equippeiij in that than
any other branch of Lie navy

KELLY CttAHA, INU TER
February 1898.
Editor Banks totality Journal,
] )ear Sir: — I promised you and
a £rrodly number of frrends to write
something of our trip; but circuufstan
ccs have beeu such as delayed me SO
long that I will say but little of our
trip. We left our old home on Satuv
day Jan fith; and spent Sunday pleas
antly, yet sadly with our friends in
Rigeivay Settlement. Monday Morn
bright and burly we started to the
IE R. a). Ma.vsv,fie. Wc met Capt’
J H.Latimer 1 leket Agent of L& N
It- R. and tsooVi had our tickets and
Baggage aianged as North bound
Train steamep up we bul farewell to
kind friends, and started. Nothing of
interest oecured until we readied At
lanta. We arrived jat Atlanta at 5 o’
t-lok P. M. and all that interested us
j much 'vas keeping away from the snial
pc-x. Wc left Atlanta 8- 30 oclock and
had a quiet night, and next morning at
daybreak was in Nashville, and it wit!
pouring down rain,and did notecase all
dav. When we crossed the Tennessee
River and got into what is called a west
Tennessee we down a stream toward
Jackson, and I never saw as much land
covered in water, and have no desire tc
ever ride on the cars at jugt, such a thru
any more. Ther wnf. miles and miles
that uou could not see a foot of land,ex.
cept the road bed. and. in places the ties
were covered in water, and in two pla
ces for quite a distunce the water war
running over the rails and danger sig
nals up all along- but we came safel)
through after six hours of this kinc
of traveling, and landed at sundown
on the banks of the Father of waters
in the city of Memphis. Thero wt
bad a tiresome layover until 8: 20
Then we .rosed the great river anc
entered the Great. Mississippi Swam;
in Ark.’ and it was so dark and rain)
that 1 could not seo anything outsidi
the car. At 2: oclock A, M we Under
at. Little EctekAnktit <kjr break fotUU
the R. R. men wild with excitement
A groat cyclone in Ft- Smith was
all the talk among newspaper men and
trying to get dispatches, but the wires
were all down and no satisfactory news
could be had- We boarded the Mis
ouri Pacific train for Ft. Smith. Our
crowd was so increased by anxious peo
pie going to see their dead and crip
pled friends that standing mom was
at a premium la-tors we arrived. It
was a sad sight to see them digging
the dead bodies out of a mass of ruins
and to add horror to the sight fire
broke out in the nearest buildings anq
so burned some bodies that the
friends could hardly recognize them.
1 did not have but a few hours to
stay at the Fort, and was thankful that
we did not get there in time for the
storm. At 12; oelock P- M. Jan., 12
We boarded Bt. Louis & San I- lancisco
train, and next morning found us at
Cameron, Choctaw Nation. There
we took private conveyance cut five
miles, and located near the foot of
Sugar Loaf mount ain; on the edge of
a large Prairie, known as Cothron,s
Prairie, where we have a grand view
of the mountains on the Ea=t, while
on the West you may look just as far
as you can and you will see just a sue
ession of lulgcs, one rising just a
littio above the other. It is a grand
sight to sec hundreds of head of cattle
in a bunch grasrg as busy as if sprin
had opened up in earnest. We rind
hogs fat out in the range, and lots of
them. I think this is a good country
to furm in, and to raise stock of all
kinds. I will not say much about the
country this time, if desirable at some
time in the future, I will give my idea
of the country, and what 1 think of
people coming here to maife ah honest
living, I tfill say there ismoonp for
l* jd honest industrious people here.

the coast, It is obvious, however, that
trained tjieh for the manipulation of
these heavy bat tdrics are quite as req
uisite as the guns themselvs. Even if
the very imminent danger of war with
Spain should pass away, this country
would have been the permanent gainer
by reason of the efforts put forth in this
flurry of pre.parationi The safety and
dignity of the nation demand that its
defenses be nioderii and am pig. we have
no need of a huge navy, but the cause
of peace in the world regnires
tliatouL- navy should be manifestly effi
cient and that it should be easily stron
ger than that of any other country-ex
cepting the two or three principal naval
and colonial powers of Europe. With a
navy considerably stronge than wo now
posse is, We might have dictated peace
in Cuba long ago, without the firing of
a single gun, upon terms which vvquud
have been greatly to the advantage <>f
Spain herself, and would have saved
her great cost and misery. A moderate
but progressive increase in onr military
and naval strength, together with de
fensive preparations along the coast
will constitute our best and cheapest in
insurance against war, and will redound
in many ways to our national advatage.
