County Exhibit Takes Second Prize
at State Fair-
J-Q-GASSETTGETS SI,OOO PRIZE
On Best Negro Exhibit—Some In
dividual Prizes Are Obtained.
A Good Showing.
Baatow county has made a good
showing at the state fair. Mr. H.
.J- McCormick took second prize on
county exhibit, besides several in
dividual prizes, and J. Q Gassett
took first prize for the best county
display in the negro building.
The Atlanta Journal tells the
story of the prize getting thus:
The judges of the agricultural
department at the State Fair fin
ished the work of awarding prem
iums to the exhibitors in the agri
cultural building for the best dis
plays. The first premium for the
best county display goes to Cobb
county. It is SI,OOO in cash, and
those who have visited the build
ing and observed the display will
agree with the judges that Cobb’s
exhibit is worthy the distinction
and financial award which lias fal
len upon it.
The premium for the Best pump
kin display goes to Mr. H. J. Mc-
Cormick of Bartow county. Thus
one of the most heated, interesting
contests at the fair is finished and
though the race tor the victory has
been close, it is the consensus of
opinion that Bartow put up the best
and biggest pumpkin show and
deserves the prize.
The following are some of the
winners in the agricultural contests
with the cash premiums which will
be paid tomorrow:
First premium, best county" dis
play, Cobb county, SI,OOO.
Second premium,Bartow county,
ss°°-
Third premium, Bibb county,
S3OO.
INDIVIDUAL PRIZE WINNERS.
First premium, for individual
display, J. Gid Morris, of Cobb
county, S2OO.
Second premium, for individual
display", Miss M. J. Rutherford,
Sumter county, $150.00
Third premium, for individual
display, John A. Manget, Cobb
county, SIOO.
First premium for one-plow farm,
B. B. Lumsden, Bibb county, $l5O.
Second premium for one-plow
farm, Jo 11 nA. Manget, Cobb coun
ty, $75-
First premium for best display
of Georgia raised forage, John A.
Manget, Cobb county, S2OO,
First premium for best display
of pumpkins, H. J. McCormick,
Bartow' county, five dollars.
Bartow county took the first
premium for the best county dis
play in the negro building, and the
managers of the exhibit are richer
today by a cool $.1,000 for the ex
cellent manner in which they have
shown the products of the Bartow
soil as extracted by members of
the negro race.
The Bartow display in the ne
gro building is exceedingly inter
esting. Every product of the coun
ty is represented in a most attrac
tive manner, and the judges had
little trouble in awarding the first
premium.
Pulaski county negroes took the
second premium, which is SSOO in
cash. The display of Pulaski is
attractive and reflects much credit
on the negroes who instituted the
display. One of the features of the
display is the collection of horse
collars, baskets and foot mats made
in Hawkinsville from the fibrous
grasses and bark.
The third premium of S3OO goes
to the negroes of Floyd county.
Professor Peyton Allen, who is
in charge of the negro building,
says the exhibitors are the happiest
members of his race in the state.
They are all jubilant at the suc
cess of the negro department.
TIE ELECTIONS
II MANY STATES
Results or the Contest Seem to. Be
Considerably Mixed.
K‘ NTEJCT Y IS YLT IN DOUBT-
Maryland Democratic and Nebras
ka Fusion-Ohio Proba
bly Republican.
Elections were held Tuesday in
twelve states, as follows: Ohio,
Kentucky, Nebraska. lowa, Mary
land, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania,
Virginia, New York, New Jersey,
Mississippi and South Dakota.
Interest centered most in Ohio
and Kentucky, where results were
likely to have a bearing on the
presidental car paign next year,
and Nebiaska, Mr. Bryan’s state.
The republicans seem to carry
Ohio and probably Kentucky, but
at last accounts both sides were
claiming a victory.
DEMOCRATIC HOPES.
Frankfort, Ky., Nov. 7. —Sena-
tor Blackburn and others at Goebel
headquarters at midnight admitted
that the returns from many demo
cratic counties are disappointing,
but that is partially offset by pri
vate dispatches from the eleventh
district, indicating a falling off in
the republican vote.
ANOTHER CLAIM.
Louisville, Ky., Nov. 7. —By the
combined effort of tne republicans
and anti-Goebelites, Attorney-
Gen. W. S. Taylor (republican)
has been elected governor of Ken
tucky by a majority variously esti
maated from 7,000 to 15000 over
Goebel (democrat.) Returns re
ceived up to midnight also indicate
the election of the entire repulican
ticket, while the complexion of the
legislature is in doubt.
Chairman Long of the republi
can campaign committee said at
midnight that Taylor’s plurality
would not be less than 15,000. This
estimate, he said, was based upon
estimates received from a majority
of the counties in the state. Gov
ernor Bradley estimates Taylor’s
plurality at about 15,000 to 18,000.
fusion wins.,
Lincoln, Neb., Nov. 7. —Mid-
night.—Returns up to midnight
continue to show the same Fusion
gain as earlier reports, and there is
no longer the least doubt of the
Fusion ticket’s election.
Chairman Edmonton of the pop
ulist state central committee, said:
“We have carried the state by 15,-
000 and have made gains in county
offices.”
Chairman Tefft, of the republican
committee, declined to make a
claim, but one of his associates ad
mitted defeat, though not conced
ing it by as large a majority as
claimed by the Fusionists.
ABOUT MARYLAND
Baltimore, Nov. 8. —Returns
from both the city and state have
been very slow in coming to hand,
and at 2 o’clock this (Wednesday)
morning the full vote from only
thirteen wards of Baltimore city
had been received while in the
state not a single county is com
plete. The thirteen complete wards
in the city, with the balance esti
mated, show a plurality for Smith
(Democrat) for governor of 7,451,
while in the balance of the state his
plurality will probably be between
2,500 and 3,000.
OHIO IS RePUBIJCAN.
Columbus, 0., Nov. 7 —At 12:30
the republicans claim that their
plurality would exceed 50,000
with over 1,00,000 for Jones out of
a total of less than 900,000. The
republican majority in the legis
lature is larger than usual, but no
senator is to be elected.

Mrs. Postell Read Paper Giving
History of Church—Organ
ized Sunday Night-
A large congregation was pres
ent at the blast Side chapel last
Sunday afternoon to witness the
formal dedication services which
were held at three o’clock.
Rev. E. M. Craig, pastor of the
Presbyterian church, was in cliaige
of the sevices, and he was assisted
by Rev. E. I). McDougall, of Thom
asville, Rev. B. P. Allen, pastor of
the Methodist church, and Rev. A.
W. Bealer, pastor of the Baptist
church.
• Mrs. G. H. Aubrey presided at
the* organ, and a large choir of
splendid voices made excellent
music. Mrs. Felton Jones and
Mrs. A. B. Cunyuseach sang a solo
which added much to the interest
ing service.
Mrs. Kate Postell read an inter
esting paper giving a history of the
church, and making personal men
tion of those who have assisted in
completing the building.
Rev. E. D. McDougall was pas
tor of the Presbyterian church in
this city when the work on the
East Side chapel was begun, and
rendered valuable assistance in or
ganizing and pushing the work
forward. It was very appropriate
that he should preach the dedica
tory sermon. He took his text
from Ephesians sth chapter, 26th
and 27th. verses: “That he might
sanctify and clean: e it with the
washing of water oy the word.
That he might present it to himself
a glorious church not having sport,
or wrinkle, or any su:h thing; but
that it should be holy and without
blemish.”
He delivered an able discourse
which received the undivided at
tention of the large congregation.
Services were again held 111 the
evening at which Mr. McDougall
preached, and will be contin
ued throughout the week both
morning and evening. Mr. M v -
Dougall was compelled to return
to Tiionasville Monday morning
as his time here was limited owing
to an important engagement at
home.
Those who have interested them
selves in the building and com
pletion of the church are to be con
gratulated upon the fulfillment of
their desires in witnessing it. 1 ? dedi

“STOP THIEF!”
It is an old trick among the light
fingered fraternity to divert attention
from themselves by raising the cry of
“ stop thief’’ and so putting the public
on a false scent.
There is a certain kind of advertiser
who is expert in similar methods. One
of his tricks is to tell women that it’s
“revolting’’ to write to a man in con
sultation about disease. “Women
should write to a woman.” The remain
der of the advertisement invites women
to write for advice, and is carefully
worded to convey the idea that the ad
vice offered is that of a physician. But
a close examination shows that there is
no physician’s advice offered and the
whole clamor of “write to a woman”
is raised to divert attention from the fact
that the woman offering advice is not a
doctor, and therefore not competent to
give medical advice :
For the advice of an unqualified
woman is just as dangerous as the
advice of an unqualified man.
Women who are sick can obtain medi
cal advice free by letter, by consulting Dr.
R. V. Pierce, chief consulting physician
of the Invalids’ Hotel and Surgical In
stitute, Buffalo, N. Y. As an expert in
the treatment and cure of female dis
eases Dr. Pierce takes the highest rank.
In over thirty years’ experience he has
treated half-a-million women and of that
great number ninety-eight per cent, have
been perfectly and permanently cured
Each letter is held as private and its con
tents guarded as a sacred confidence.

Mr. Beater's Lecture.
The audience assembled at the
opera house last Friday night to
hear Rev. A. W. Bealer’s ueiv lec
ture, “John Smith, Yesterday, To
doy and Tomorrow,” were charm
ed. The lecture abounds in choice
passages of humor, pathos and
good sense, and was delivered in
Mr. Bealer’s well known pleasing
style. Mr. Bealer has made a fine
hit with his other lecture, “The
Georgia Darky,” wherever he has
delivered it, but his new lecture is
thought by many to surpass that.
The lecture was lor the benefit
of a fund to build a pastorium for
the Baptist church and netted a
nice little sum for that purpose.

STILL CAPTUREDr
Deputy Collector Carter Makes a
Successful Heul in Cherokee.
In Cherokee county a few evenings
ago, Deputy Collector B. F. Car
ter, one of the most successful
revenue officials in the state, made
one of the most important hauls
made in this section in many a day.
The officials being exceedingly re
ticent, it is hard to get facts, but it
has been ascertained with strong
show of credability, that a man
who has been running a large still
of 160 gallon capacity for at least
15 years and often spotted without
success, had loaded up a wagon
with the product of his still and
started to a moonshine market; he
was met by the and eputy and his assis
tant, and realizing the danger of
arrest fled, leaving his team and
load. The revenue men easily
took charge of the wagon, loaded
with two 14 gallon kegs, a 5 gal
lon keg and a 2 gallon j ig of corn
whisky, which they drove back
into the woods and let stand at a
convenient spot until they recon
n litered and found the still. It was
well hid under rocks in a crag in
the hills, long secluded from hu
man search. The still was well
buried under earth, the cap and
worm.only being visible and that
only on close approach. All the
accoutrements were taken charge
of and placed in the wagon with
the whisky, and the confiscated
team with the entire stilling outfit
driven to Cartersville, whence it
was shipped to Atlanta.
It was only a few days previous
to this raid that Mr. Carter and
the same assistant captured a small
still in Paulding county, which
they had to fight for valiantly, the
disabling holes with a hatchet be
ing punctured in the rim while bul
lets were flying from a near-by
knob with ominous precision and
uncomfortable frequency.
