It is claimed that parties citbcf
than democrats are running for
offico in Lumpkin county subject
to the democratic primary. It
not right for u person to cover
themselves with a demdfcfattic cloak
for a month or so jifst fo £bt the
support of the democratic yoto.
Wouldn’t it bo well enough to And
but a little something about this
fcuuttor before the primary and let
every fellow shinny ou his own
Side? What candidates now runs
ning will say publicaliy that they
ktb democrats and will stick to the
ub'difnees iu the dual election,
wheth'ct defeated or elected ih the
democratic primary? fa r e will
tmblish their names next Woek
with pleasure. Send them in.
Recently wc published the fact
that a rural tree delivery route
had been requested, covering a ter
ritory north of Dahlonega, and
we asked why our Congressman
had not secured it. Since then wc
have investigated this matter and
wc find that Congressman Tate has
dono everything he could do. Wc
learn that it is a rule of the post-
office department to consider thecc
requests in the order in which they
arc filed, and that owing to the
fact that there arc so few inspec
tors the department is just now en
gaged in pnssing on requests that
were made in the early part of the
year, 1903.
Tho regulations first require that
a petition bo sent in, signed by the
heads of 100 families. This peti
tion is sent to the congressman,
and in tho caso wo refetred to,
Congcessmnn Tate, immediately j
upon receipt of the petition filed ;
tho same and recommended the j
establishment of tho route. The j
matter has not yet been taken up
by tho authorities, owing to the
fact that there are so many peti
tions ahead of this one, which, un
der the rule, must be considered
before this ono can. When this
route is reached in its turn au in
spector will be sent hero and the
route inspected and laid out. In
other words, it appears that the
rule of being served at mill, applies
hero—first come, first served. The
congressman, of course, can’t re
commend a route until the petition
is sent to b/r», and it therefore be
hooves tho people, if they want
these routes, to send iu their pe
titions so that they may be con
sidered in turn. Tho congressman
can’t be blamed for not getting
routes unless the peoplo first send
in their petitions and then ho
can only uso his influence to re
commend awl bwye them taken up
according to the regulations*
Wo learn that Congressman Tate,
with others, is actively at work to
have the number of inspectors in
creased iu order that these matters
may 6e dfsposed of Wore rapidly.
ID tfiul? appears that Mr. Tate is as
usual alert and wido-nwke to tho
interests of his constituents.
Wo are glad to be able to state
the facts as we have done. When
wc said Wlkit wo did we were
simply trying to see whether tho
interests of oar people were be
ing guarded. Wo are fully satis
fied that they are. HWo has nev
er been a time since he fraS’been in
congress that Mr. Tate has not
been quick to respond to any re
quest mado from Lumpkin county.

Mr. W. B. Townsend,

Dear Fhiend:
I enclose herewith a copy of let
ter written me by Mr. Con rani,
Acting Fourth Assistant Postmast
er General, in regard to the in
spection and laying out of R. F.
D. routes. I havo also gone over
with him tho situation at your of-
fleo and have sent Judge Tate,
your postmaster, petitions for R.
F. D. routes out from your office.
I think from this conference that 1
will be able by early summer to
have such routes inspected out
from Dahlonega ns you, Judge
Tate and others interested will
send mo petitions for. Of course,
nntbfttgcan be done until these
matters arc reached in their order,
but it is important that when an
Inspection is made that all tho
routes to be laid out bo inspected
at tho samo time, so that one route
will not infringe upon the. tern-*
tory of another and so that they
all can be laid out nt one time in a
way to give the best possiblo mail
service to the peoplo to be served.
Tho doublo daily service from
Gainesville that I have had estab
lished for your place, makes it
“such, that efficient rural service
can be secured.” I also enclose
you, under separate cover, InsfMo
tions for laying out R. F. D.
routes.
With best wishes, 1 am

cratiou of every Voter.
JaMes L. Davis.
We arc authorized to announce tlio
tiartie of M. F. Whelchel as a candi
date for County Treasurer, subject to
tnfe Democratic’ primary. “tJnclc
Dick*’ is "Well kuoWn to all the voters,
hrhb, if elected, promises to fill the
duties of the office With satisfaction.
A resolution will lie introduced
today before the democratic exec
utive committee to throw out. all
tickets cast 111 the coming pri
mary for candidates who uso lh
qnor in it. If the committee can’t
keep republicans from running 111
the primary, it can’t keep a demo
crat from using liquor.
C. H. Jones Successful.
After a great deal of effort and
correspondence Dr, O II. Jones, the
popular druggists, has succeeded in
getting the Dr. Howard Co, to
make a special half-price ; ntrodiic-
tory offer on the regular fifty cent
size of their celebrated specific for
the cure of constipation and dispep-
sia.
This medicine is a recent discov
ery for the cure of all diseases of
the stomach and bowels. It not on
ly give quick relief, but it makes
permanent cores.
Dr Howard’s specific has been so
remarkably successful' in curing
constipation, dyspepsia nd all liv
er troubles that Dr. Jones is
willing to return the price paid in
everycase where it does not give
relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills
of 1 arsb purgatives will soon be a
thing of the past. The best phy
sicians are prescribing Dr. How
ard’s speceific because it really gives
the desired results and on account
of the small and pleasant dose that
is needed.
Headaches, coated tongue, diz
ziness, gas on stomach, specks be
fore the eyes, constipation, and all
forms of liver and stomache trouble
are soon cured by this scientific
medicine.
So great is the demand for this
specific that Dr. Jones has been
able to. secure only a limited supply,
and every otie Who is troubled with
dyspepsia, constipation or liver
trouble should call upon Dr. Jones
at once, or send 25 cents, and get
sixty closes of the bestnnedicine ev
er made, on this special half-price
offer. With'his personal guarantee to
refund the money if itdoesnot cure.
