Why is it when Mr. C. J. Jnr-

requests us to say to the people
that ho is still in the race and will

Mrs. Wood, who goes to the state

Those who did not register in
to be found on our first page, were
introduced by Dr. H. C. Whelchel.
Capt. F. M. Will iams was opposed
to t he paragraph closing the gates
to republicans to a certain extent,
but the committee didn’t agree
with him nnd the resolutions were
passed. Then a temperance-plank,
by Mr. .1. W. Williams was read,
but the meeting adjourned without
taking any action on it.
Are Democrats and Will
Stand by the Nominees.
In our issue of the 12th, we
stated that it was reported that
there were republican candidates
running in Lumpkin county subject
to the democratic primary, and
asked that all candidates who were
democrats and willing to stick to
the nominees, either elected or de
feated at the primary, to send us
their na nes for publication, so the
people of this county might not bo
deceived in casting their ballots in
this county last year are requested tho pl . jmary< So far> tbo f() |i ows
to do so by the 10th day of April, injr is , hc list . others will be ad-
if they want to vote in the demo-1
cratic primary April 20th.
We feel confident that Chief
Justice Simmons will carry Lump
kin county, for those acquainted
with him here know that he is tho
best qualified candidate in the field.
If you aro a democrat and a can*
didato send in your name so wo
can tell tho voters about it in time
for the primary. If yon aro not
you should not try to slip in to
office undor a democratic cloak.
The primary for governor and
stato house officers, members of
congress and county officers in
Lumpkin all come off on the 20th
of next month. The time is short
and candidates are getting a move
on them.
The democratic executive corns
mitteo of Cherokee county wants
Parker for president. So far as
we aro concerned cither will suit
us, as they aro both good men.
The biggest trouble is getting
them elected after the nomination.
Mr. Tom Bell, said to be candi
date for congress from the Ninth
District, opened his campaign
by mnkiug a speech down at Bu
ford last Monday night, accom
panied by Richardson Bros band.
Tom is a hustler and will likely
give the people of Lumpkin coun
ty some free music before the cam
paign ends.
It’s customery for candidates
forcongress to anuounce, and
some districts in Georgia they
have already done so, but so far in
the 9th it’s a blank. Just a week
ago it was reported that Hon. F.
C. Tate had decided to withdraw
from the race. Had bis announce
ment been in the papers of the 9th
no such reports as this would have
been made.

“Dr. E. W. Watkins, candidate
for congress, made a speech here
Wednesday before a small audi
ence. His speech however was
not of the small kind but convinc
ed us that he is a good man, well
qualified for tho position he seeks,
and if elected no doubt would
make us a better congressman
than the man that’s in there now,
drawing his twenty-five dollars
every day, getting ulong first-rate,
haying a good time, resting easy,
and who imagines everybody else
is resting as easy as himself.”
Tho above paragraph is clipped
from the Cleveland Courier, tho
editor being a republican, explains
his child-like expressions. This is
what all the congressmen receive.
Should Mr. Tate servo for less?
What do you want Mr. Tate to
do? Turn to a republican? Then
in tho eyes of the Courier he would
bo the ablest congressman in Geor
gia.
Don’t forget what Air. C. A.
Conrard, acting Fourth Assistant
PodLMaster General, said in his
letter published in The Nugget,
“That Hon. F. C. Tate had caused
37 rural routes established in tho
9th District since July 1, 1903,
which is more than have been es
tablished in any other district in
the state of Georgia during the
time.” The above is exactly what
Mr. Conrard said. This shows
that Mr. Tate is not idle, aud the
people of Lumpkin county can be
accommodated if they will send
tho department a petition signed
by 100 heads of families in a 20 or
25 mile route, as the law directs.
This we don’t believe can be done
here. We have not tho popula-
Mr. Tate can’t help this.

There seems to bb a disposition
in some quarters to kick on the
early primary, says the Cobb
County Courier. Had tho day
been fixed later on we would have
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
cry for the cure of all diseases ot
the stomach and bowels. It not on

permanent cures.

Why should not the state conven- ^ troubles that Dr. Jones is

stato primary, say the third Thurs- J relief.
The old-fashioned idea of dosing
with mineral waters, cathartic pills
or 1 orsh purgatives will soon be a
tiling 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 one who is troubled with
dyspepsia, constipation or liver
trouble should eall upon Dr. Jones
at once, or send 25 cents, and get
sixty doses of the best medicine ev
er made, on this special half-price
offer, with his personal guarantee to
relund the money if it does not cure.

when to expect to be ready? If in
future an opposing party should
arise making it necessary to time
the democratic primary differently
a change could be made. A fixed
day would give all an equal show
ing and do away with the kicking
so common, some because of the
earliness and others because of tho
lateness.
Some few persons are bellyach
ing around because the democratic
executive committee of Lumpkin
county last Saturday didn’t put a
temperance plank in its rules—
throw out ballots of candidates or
whoso friends who use liquor dur
ing the campaign. Tho wise leg
islators havo already made ample
provisions for this violation of
law, and if grand jurors fail to
take tho matter up an executive
committee cannot bo expected to.
Another thing. Some of tho com
mittee consulted tho wisest law
yers of Dahlonega before the
meeting, and they stated that a
committee had no right to leave or
order ballots cast fora candidate
thrown out.
A special from Washington
says: Commissioner of Pensions
Ware, with the approval of Secro
tnry Hitchcock, last Wednesday
promulgated the most important
pension ruling that has been issued
in a long time. It directs that be
ginning on April 13 next, if there
is no contrary evidence and all
other legal requirements have been
met, claimants f<\r pension under
the general act of June 27, 1890,
who are over (12 years old shall he
considered as disabled oue-half in
ability to perform manual labor
and shall he entitled to$(5a month;
over (55 years to $8; over 68 years
to $10, and over 70 years to $12,
the usual allowances at higher
rates continuing for disabilities
other than age. The order will
not he retroactive.

tax returns for the City of Dahlonega
