A certain man who voted for a
republican in the last election in
Lumpkin county, is thinking of
making the race this time for an
office subject to the democratic
primary.
Wo understand that Hon. F. C.
Tate will not likely bo able to visit
Lumpkin county soon, on account
of boing busy in congress, but
has friends here who will look af
ter his interest.
Preacher West, who made the
race for tax receiver in Lumpkin
county as an independent, says ho
is going to try it for the samo
office this time, subject to the
democratic primary.
At Butte, Mont., last Saturday
as tho judge was delivering his in

of Alfred Beckman, accused of

cut his throat and fell to tho floor
fatally wounded.
Senator Marcus A. Hanna died
at Washington City last Monday
afternoon, causing deep regret
among prominent republicans all
over tho country. Both houses of
congress adjourned until after his
funeral.
As we havo heretofore stated,
we believe it will be to the best in
terest of the democratic party of
Lumpkin county to hereafter have
strictly democratic primaries—al
low no ono to vote in them except
democrats. In this way no one
cxcopt democrats can havo any
hope of getting into office unless
they belong to tho party and
come in this way. Later we
willgho our readers some facts
and figures, showing that other
than democrats rarely ever stick to
the primary after voting in it
when a republican or independent
comes out.
A man in Dahlonega, who has
always voted the republican ticket,
said the other day that this party
was losing its strength in the south
very fast. We are not surprised
at this when so many negroes are
holding offices in tho United States
under its administration. Why,
down here in Gainesville a few
nights ago, when the republican
executive committee was called to
gether, there sat Bob Chamblee, a
negro, as it3 secretary. Just as
long as negroes are given offices in
preference to good white republis
cans, tho latter will continue to
withdraw from the party in the
south.
Mining Notes.
Although we have had some rain
the water course? do not show it
much, and miners needing ad
ditional power can do but little
moro than heretofore.
Mr. Wharton Anderson informs
us that the Calhoun is still mov
ing along as it has been for sever
al years. Every person acquain
ted with this property knows what
this means—making big money.
Work at the Lockhart, though
short of water for months, has
been continued all along, giving
satisfactory results. It is opera
ted by native miners who are
thoroughly acquainted with this
property.
Messrs. John Huff and Yirge
Moose, who tried to mine some on
the Chestateo river with a lift, had
to suspend work there for the lack
of sufficient water power. They
have moved on the Columbia
property and hope to be benefit*
ted.
Mr. Fry of the Jumbo, was at
home a short while last Sunday.
This gentleman has mined both
here and in the West and stated
that he never saw anything to
compare with Jumbo. It seems to
be no trouble to strike good veins
on the property.
Riley and Stovens are taking out
ore on the Findley property, be
ing the first mining that has been
done on it in a long time. The
dam washed away some years ago
rendering them unable to run the
mill on tho property, causing the
ore to have to be hauled quite a
distance to the Lockhart, making
it much more expensive.
No active work has been done
at the Betz mine for some time
but Mr. Arnold is back on the
ground making arrangements to
begin. Not long ago some new
machinery of the most modern va
riety was installed, and all miners
here are anxious to see it put in
motion so as learn results with
something that was never tried in
this country before.
Mr. Campbell of the Singleton,
still continues his prospective
work and beating custom
ore for the different parties who
are engaged in mining on this
property at several places. There
is already veins opened by Mr.
Campbell that he could work for
the company if he had sufficient
water, not having enough to run
the giants and mill at the same
time.
Superintendent McAfee of the
McAfee-Lin Gold Mine, who is
engaged in enlarging the mill, in
formed us that five stamps of this
mill would be put in motion again
next week aud by the first of
March he expected to havo all the
stamps ready for operation. This
property has already proven itself
first-class, and with a good mine
and a man having practical ex
perience m the business nothing
but good results nre expected.
Mr. Tregent of the Barlow was
up a short while the other day.
We are always glad to see the gen
tleman for he makes every
thing pleasant -where ever he goes,
but that is not often for he stays
close about his business is one rea
son why this mine is paying so
well. Many years ago when the
Barlow was run by Pride, he had
his walking bosses and riding
bosses and the mill operated by
steam and plenty of water handy
that could be turned on to the
mill at little expense. The result
was the mine failed, just simply
for the lack of good judgment.
The Ingersoll & Crisson dredge
boat is moving along as usual in
the Chestatee river. It is not far
now from the Boley Fields vein
property where a person could
stand on the bank when the vein
was first discovered in the river
many years ago and see the glit
tering gold it the water below at
shallow places. After taking out
thousands of pennyweights of gold
the vein was lost. A number of
miners have tried since to find it
without success. Many nuggets
have been picked up by this boat
recently below and it may be
when it gets nearer this no
ted vein will be struck again aud
its owners made vastly rich in a
few hours.
Mr. Grant Woody at Quebec,
came near getting Ins new hotel
burned the other night. The
fire caught from a stove pipe.
It is belived that the state ex
ecutive committee will set the
state primary in May. This is
rather early for the farmers and
will be a disadvantage to new eng -
didates.
War between Russia and Japan
has caused the Atlanta Constitution
to take on new life. We get it
here now at 2 o’clock instend of 5,
three hours earlier in Dahlonega
than usual which pleases all its
patrons up here.
The war between Russia and
Japan has resulted, so far, with
big victories for the Japs. Many
of the Russian vessels haye either
been suuk or crippled. The Rus
sians stand lint little ehnneo light
ing on water, for tho Japs get
the best of them every time.
Heretofore the county primary
of Lumpkin has been held on the)
same day of state house officers, iu
May, it will not likely be the case
this year, as it is too early and the
wrong time of the year for far-j
mere to participate and the county
primary will no doubt be fixed for
a later date.

Heretofore persons who had not
paid any poll tax and were on the
insolvent list for years, could go
into a republican convention and
vote just the samo ns those who
pay thousands of dollars taxes.
All persons hereafter parlicipa^
ting in republican meetings must
be qualified voters. The follow
ing paragraph is iu tho instructions
sent out by tho Republican Stato
Executive Committee to each
county executive committee: That
no person shall vote or participate
in any mass meeting or conven
tion called in any county of the
I State for the purpose of electing
delegates under tho call or for
electing delegates to a county
convention convened for the
above purpose unless ho be a legal
and qualified voter of his county at
the time of th9 holding of such
mass-meeting or convention. No
person shall act for a delegate by
proxy to tho convention unless he
be a bona tide resident and voter
of tho county represented.
The gross receipts of cotton at
New Orleans from September 1st,
1906, to January 30th, 1904, were
1,581,170 bales. The Semi-Week
ly Atlanta Journal had $8,000 con
test in connection with its sub
scription. A nnmbet of guesses
were made by Lumpkin count y
citizcus but we don’t think any of
them guessed close enough for a
part of the money to come this
way.
Tho Lumber Association of
Georgia lias donated material for
a Georgia building at the St. Louis |
Fair, and now ail that is neces
sary to do, is to procure funds for
tho transportation, erection an 1
cure of this building. An effort
is being made to secure it and it
is hoped by the Tiie Nugget it
will lie done as a nice display of
Georgias resources in a suitable
building at the World’s Fair will
cause thousands of dollars to be
invested within her borders.

It will be well enough to remem
ber that all widows who have mar
lied since April 9, 1865, cannot
receive state pensions. Only the
widows who married before that
time will be put on the pension
roll. Or at least this is the law.
The price of cotton is declining
again.

Tf your liver does not act reg
ularly go to your druggist and
secure a package of Thedford’s
Black-Draught and take a dose
tonight. This great family
medicine frees the constipated
bowels, stirs up the torpid liver
and causes a healthy secretion
of bile.
Thedford’s Black - Draught
will cleanse the bowels of im
purities and strengthen the kid

colds, biliousness, chills and
fever and all manner of sick
ness and contagion. Weak kid
neys result in Bright's disease
which claims as many victim*
as consumption, A 25-cent
package of Thedford’s Black-
praught should always be kept
in the house.
