W« notice, in Sam .tones’ ser
mon ill Atlanta Sunday that he is
the same Sum .lones, and calls
the Indies “old gals,’’ uhd ap
plies equally as elegant appella
tions to the other portion of his
congregation.
In years past our young men
would gn to the north and west
to seek their fortunes. Now the
South is lining multitudinously
repaid in northern and western
immigrants. We hope wo are
getting as “good Mull’” ns we sent
them.
The Gainesville Eagle says
that there is no abler or truer
man in the ninth district than
Hon. A. 1). Candler and that if
he tell* the people he wants to go
to Congress there will lie a shak-
iiur up of dry hones. Thu Eaglo
is correct.
It would indeed he refreshing
to find in the present congress a
member who cares more for the
welfare of the country than foi
his own selfish interest. Chican
ery and not patriotism is the rul
ing passion burning in the breasts
of our little statesmen.
, \\v It is gratifying to learn that
«■£ IkTohn B. Gordon will not he a
candidate for re-election to the
Senate, and that ho has decided
to retire from politics. The poo
pie would have thought a great
deal more of Senator Gordon if
ho had retired several years ago.
Last Sunday’s Constitution
contained an excellent likeness of
Judge Richard 11. Clark and a
sketch of that gentleman’s life by
W. I*. Reed. We would like to
see Judge Clark promoted, lie
is well qualified and deserving al
most any office that Georgians
could give him.
Two hundred and twenty
thousand steerage passengers ar
rived at the port of New York in
1896. Nearly one fifth of this
number were unable to read or
write, and practically without
money. This promiscuous immi
gration should he restricted in
some way. Our country should
not be a dumping place for the il
literate ijnd poverty stricken of
other nations. It is time to call a
halt.
The announcement of the suc
cess of the bond loan produced an
instant advance in stocks upon
the market. W bon the bids wore
opened Wednesday of last week i 1
was found that the subscriptions
amounted to *550,000,000,000,
and at. a much better price than
was received for the last issue,
the average price being 111. It
is gratifying to the people to note
the remarkable successs of this
loan, aud the confidence main
tained in the government to men
tion its credit.
An exchange suggests that if a
district in which a lynching oc
curs were made to pay heavily
for the act there would bo lower
lynchmgs. It is true that a
uutuiici' of lynchings are unde
served, for instance, the Perdue
nit air in Montgomery county, but
in a majority of the eases, the ex
ecution of that unwritten law will
coutinue as long as the barbar
ous crimes which provoke it. The
avenging wrath of wronsred civil
ization cannot lie stopped nor
stunted by the forfeiture of mere
dollars and vents.
missiouers have authority to lev
a direct lax, and raise one year
the amount required—*5000.
This will nearly double the tax
upon the people’, and those who
complain of heavy taxe.- now will
have double cause to do so then,
hut their “blood will be upon
their own heads."
Since the establishment of a
hoard <>f roads and revenues the
county has prospered,
the coinniissioiieis’ administra
tion the past three years more
improvements have boon made
than ever before in the county’s
histoiv. Three good covered
hiidrres have been built, the court
house covc'cd, and dozens'of oth
er improvements of minor imp r-
tance made. During this period
the tax has remained al one dol
lar on the hundred, and at the
pres ait time there is a handsome
surplus in the treasury. We have
it from best of authority that
should the bond issue he made
that there is not the least proba
bility that the piesant rale of
taxation will he increased, hut
on the contrary it is very proba
ble that the tax rate may drop to
seventy-five cents, and perhaps
less per hundred m the future.
In another column in tins issue
will he found a eommunieaiion
from Mr. Allison Smith on the
bond question. Mr. Smith says
lie was solicited by a number of
citizens for his opinion and lie
gives it. Mr. Smith is an aged
and valuable citizen of White
county, and is no doubt a think
ing man, but his thinking in this
instance amounts to hut little for
it is on the side of bias rather
tnan sincerity.
If the bonds are floated at 5
per cent, as advertised, the lar
gest amount to he raised anyone
year during the term of twenty is
*500 and the smallest, *330, hut
it is probable that these bonds
may he floated at as low a rale as
8 per cent.
Mr. Smith stands aghast at
the idea of parents heaping such
debt upon there “dear, helpless,
innocent children.’’ We might
ask if it is just, for our old de
crepit parents in their feeble and
declining years to draw with pal
sied lingers thelv hard earned
coins and donate to the coming
young and vigorous generation
a jail? Mr. Smith is in favor of
every generation hearing its own
expenses. So are we. The jail
which will he built will last for
ages and the present and coming
generations will share alike the
benefits; why then shouldn’t they
share alike the expense? And
additional reason for so doing
is that the debt will he so divided !
that to the man who pays taxes
upon thousands of dollars of
property there will he no percep
tible increase in the assessment.
Mr. Smith even hints that we
might “make out” with the old
jail. Does anyone who is the
least, acquainted with the condi
tion of the building need to lie
| told that this would he inipossi-
• hie? Haven’t we at the present
time prisoners in t'larkosville jail,
| because our own is not tit to
I house pi isoncrs?
Do our citizens need to he re
minded that during the last win
ter a prisoner in the ii I thy hole,
which is utterly devoid of any
comfort, had his toes so frozen
that it was thought that they
would drop oil'? Can anyone
deny that this fact is a shame
upon civilization? A jail is not a
place of punishment, hut one of j
confinement.
Mr. Smith speaks of the far- |
mcr’s condition at this time. I

Are you in favor of paying the
same rate, or perhaps smaller
rate, ot tax as heretofore and
electing a decent jail? Or do
you prefer doubling the taxes for j
