Subscribe for The Journal only $l - in the J O U ll N A L. 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 vance. 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 (or knows * good thing when he secs and enjoys it. —Cherokee Ad vance. 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 Mr. Howard Thompson- Why sli on Id Hon. Howard Thom;. son resign his office of solicitor -gen eral when there is no necessity fof suen action on his part, so long us hl-i duties :*s solicitor general arc •atistactorily carried out? 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 race at all. *IOO Reward *IOO.

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 Bob is an eloquent fellow; and hard to turn down on ihe stump, he will find it quite difficult to combat the sound and convincing logic ol die ‘‘Plow Boy of Pigeon roost. 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. 11l the person of Crandall L.

For spring 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.” A Clever Tricks It certainly looks like it, but there is rcaly no trick about it.

LETTERS FROM THE PEOPLE Atlanta, Ga., March 1, 1393 Editor War Department, Atlanta Constitution, City-Will yon please tell me the strength of the navy of England, France, Germany, Russia- Italy, -gpain and the United S.-’tes? lam seven years old. Respectfully, ARTHUR COTTON LEIDY, 340 Courtland Street. The largest navy of the wMnd by ovg odds is, ©: course, that of Greet Britain. France comes [-.ext with a navy of. wonderful strength £c>r die size and population of the republic. Russia,s and Germany’s navies are next to that of France, and then comes the United States and Spun, Italy 1 Turkey and Austria-Hungary follow close in the procession. The navy of Great ilritam is com posed of 29 first-class battleships 21. second and third elms balk-ships, 18 seagoing ami non-sea going coast defense vessels, 19 armored cruisers, G 2 gunboats of the first, second and third class?, 198 torpedo uoats, 193 torpedo boat destroyers and about 400 hints, dispatch, training tugs, subsidized and miscellaneous vessels.

Having accomplished its pttrpoo of weeding ofit the tricksters find dema gohgs who under the cloak of DerV ocracy were committing all kinds of disreputable acts, Thomas R Watson the brilliant leader of the Populists, now - thinks that populism has served its end and he declines to have any further connection with the party as a leader or to be a stuiub mg block .n the way of Democratic reform. Populism in Georgia at first, was InU a revolt agai list Democratic Inch oils (trickery of the men who control) rather thou against Democrotic pmi ciples, and now that it has accom plished its good work, it shou return to tho party and bv uniting with men good and true, who constitute that parly it can control it, and by judi cious noimi ations and honest dec larations of principle keep it pure.

Italy—Heavy terms, 179, secondary battenes, I, 293; total, 1, 172, —lt is clear, however, that these fig ur< s so far as they relate to the United States and Spain do not present the 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 COASTWISE DEFENSES From the Review of Reviews.

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. 11, C. Me Donald 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.
