POWSES CO„ new YORK. 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.” From New Zealand.

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.

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.” Roll of Honor- Following is the honor roll of the Cartersville public schools for the month ending October, 1898: EAST SCHOOL.
