CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, NOVEMBER, 4, 1898.
GOVERNOR CANDLER.
The New Executive is Duly Inau
gurated-
RECEPTION WAS ENTHUSIASTIC.
Ceremony the Simplest Ever Re
corded in the Annals of
the State.
Atlanta, Ga., Oct. 2D.—ln the pres
ence of as many people as could
crowd themselves into the hall of
the house of representatives, Allen
D. Candler was at high noon today
formally installed as the governor
of Georgia for the next two years.
At a few minutes before noon,
and while the chamber was dense
with ladies and their escorts, the ar
rival of the senate was announced.
Arm in arm the senators pushed
their way down the crowded aisles,
and after much delay and inconven
ience seats were procured for them,
many being compelled to rest on
the steps leading to the clerk’s and
speaker’s desk. President Dodson,
of the senate, replaced Speaker Lit
tle sa presiding officer of the joint
session, and called the buzzing
crowd to order. Shortly after com
paritive quiet was restored, it was
announced from the chair that the
governor and governor-elect, to
gether with the state house officers,
requested admission. As this sen
tence traveled the rounds of the
house, a thunderous cheer broke
from all present, and in the midst
of it, the incoming and outgoing ex
ecutive marched down the central
aisle arm in arm, and took seats
near the speaker’s desk. The cheer
ing continued while the state house
officers entered and sought refuge
from the enthusiastic greetings of
friends and admirers in the assem
bly.
When President Dodson had
pounded with his gavel for about
five minutes to restore order, in a
lew well selected words he stated
the object of the joint assembly, and
introduced Colonel Candler. As
tie diminutive statesman came to
the front and bowed to the repre
sentatives and senators, and the
spectators present, the enthusiasm
knew no bounds. It must hare
been gratifying to those who have
long insisted that Candler was the
most popular man in the state, to
see their contention so fully justi
fied. When the babel had subsided
Col. Candler began to read his in
augural address in a clear, distinct
voice, which penetrated to every
part of the densely packed audito
rium.
At the conclusion of the address,
which had been broken several
times by strong applause of points
which those present approved, the
oath of office was administered in
solemn style to Colonel Candler by
Chief Justice Simmons, of the
supreme court. Governor Candler
kissed the Bible, and turning to ex-
Governor Atkinson, who sat near
by him, formally received into his
hands the great seal ot the state of
Georgia. With the ending of the
ceremonies, the governor’* party
left the hall, followed by the state
house officers. Those aewly elect
ed were accompanied to their de
partments by the former ineurn
beats, who turned over the port
felio to their successor*,
Candler’s address.
Th inaugural address of Gover
nor Candler was a very short ©n,
and below is found that part which
refers to the elections and taxes:
“Our election laws should be re
vised and improved in such a way
as to render effectual the voice of
the virtue and intelligence of tlye
state and to prevent the balance of
power from finding lodgment in the
hands of an ignorant or corrupt
minority. Severe penalties should
be enacted as well for those who,
directly or indirectly, buy vetes as
tor those who sell them. These
penalties should go to the extent, if
necessary to correct the evil, of
depriving both the vote buyer and
the vote seller of the right te vote
or hold office, without regard to
party, creed, race or color. This
would be a severe remedy but when
the safety of society demands it, it
should be unhesitatingly applied,
for it would deprive no honest, in
telligent man of his right ef suf
frage, but would affect only the ig
norar t and vicious.
“Another matter of vital impor
tance is the question of taxation.
In times like these, when a univer
sal paralysis has settled down upon
all business enterprises and th*
products of the farms of the fa t
übou which all our prosperity de
pends, scarcely bring in the markets
of the world the cost of production,
when the fires have gone out in our
furnaces, when the fair fields in a
large portion of our state have been
blasted by flood and storm, and
honest men beg in vain for work
that they may bu bread, it be
hooves us to practice the most rigid
economy in every department of the
state government, establish no
more institutions to be supported
by the state, and see t® it that not
a dollar of the state’s revenue, no
matter from what source derived,
is diverted, by legislative enact
ment or otherwise, from the pur
pose to which it is now applied.
‘‘The burden of taxation, though
less in Georgia than in some other
states, is already as great as oar
people ought to be required to bear;
and the rate should be, if possible,
lowered, but, under no circum
stances, should it be allowed to go
higher.
“All irregularities in our taxing
system should be removed and the
burden should be so adjusted as to
fall qually on all classes of proper
ty and ia all parts of the state. The
lands in no country should be valu
ed for taxation at a higher price
than equally productive and equally
profitable lands in any other county.
The burden of taxation should not
only be lessened, if possible, but so
equalized as to bear alike upon all
the citizens and ®n all the propeity
of the state, but all property which
now escapes taxation should be
hunted out and made to bear a
proportionate share of the burdens
of government.
‘‘To devise means by which the
hand of the tax gatherer may reach
the hidden wealth of the dodger,
who enjoys the protection of the
government but is unwilling to
share its burdens is a delicate and
difficult duty which now devolves
upon us; but it can be performed
with benefit to the state and infinite
relief to all honest tax payers, and
we should meet this, as well as the
duty of more carefully guarding the
ballot box, fearlessly and consci
entiously looking only to the best
interests of the commonwealth and
of the people, and regardless of the
clamor oi those who, by fraudulent
ly withholding the tribute they owe
to the state, impose heavier
burthens upon their moro consci
entious neighbors.”

lam very pleased to state that
since I took the agency of Cham
berlain’s mediciaes the sale has
been very large, more especially of
the Cough Remedy. In two years
I have sold more of this particular
remedy than of all other makes for
the previous five years. As to its
efficacy, I have been informed by
scores of persons of the good results
they have received from it, aud
know its value from the use of it in
my own household. It is so pleas
ant to take that we have to place
the bottle beyond the reach of the
children.

MRS- MILAM-
The Widow of Mr. Riley Milam Dies
at Home of Her Son.
Mrs. Martha Milam died at the
home ot her sob, Mr. Fred Milaui,
in this city, on Friday morning
last at about five o’clock, from par
alysis, from which she had been a
sufferer for some time.
Mrs. Milam was the wife of the late
Mr. Riley Milam, who died some
four years ago, and who was one of
the most honorable and substantia!
citizens of Bartow county. Their
home was at Stileshoro, but about a
year ago Mrs. Milam came to Car
tersville with her son, Mr. Fred
Milam. She was a sister of Dr. W.
L. Kirkpatrick. She was the
mother of seven children, who are
all living.—Mrs. Boler, Mrs. Wal
lace, Mrs. John Hammond, Miss
Allie Milam, Messrs. H, H., John
and Fred Milam.
Mis. Milam was a member of the
Presbyterian church and her lifp
was full of good deeds and she died
as one confident of the fulfillment ®f
the premises of the Redeemer to
the faithful.
The funeral occurred at the Pres
byterian church at Euharlee, on
Saturday mtnning, and the remains
were interred at the Euharleecem
tery. Rev. E. M. Craig officiated at
the funeral services.
WANT A LUMP SUM-
Spaniards Will Resist American De
mands as to the Philllppines.
London, Nov. I—The Paris cor
responent of the Daily Telegraph
says.
“The disagreement between the
American and Spanish peace com
missioners which under ordinary
circumstances might have caused
alarm throughout Europe is hardly
noticed owing to the Fashoda af
fair. The Spaniards, who are in a
position to know assert that theii
government will resist American
demands and will offer the Phillip
pines for a lump sum. If this pro
posal is not accepted Spain will re
call her commissioners and let the
Yankees do what they choose.
“I am assured, however, that a
rupture on Friday is improbable
Spain will endeavor by arguments
and appeals to gain whatever con
cessions are possible, but she wib
not risk a renewal of h< stilities.”

Freeman & Hall know a goeal
thing when they see it. As their
perception leads to the purchase of
the best for their customers in the

baccos. Two brands “Red Apple”
and “Vaughan’s Natural Leaf” are
favorites elsewhere, so they will be
here when once tried.
