MAJ. JOHN F. C. TlLLSON,
Commandant Cadets of N. G. A.
College, Dahlonega, Ga.
tired army officer. On his return
from the Philippines and Chinese
war, and while serving as Major
of the -1th Regiment, and in Com
mand of Fort McIntosh, Texas, he
was again assigned by the Secre
tary of warn.® Commandant of Ca
dets at the college here, being per
haps the only officer holding the
rank of Mu jor and in active duly,
that has been assigned to any Ag
ricultural college in the United
States, as Professor of Military
science. This appointment was
made upon urgent request of the
Board of Trustees, and the friends
of the college in congress from
Georgia. 11 is tine military knowl
edge, and excellent discipline has
been of incalculable service to the
college. Among his former stu-
dents are two Cadet Majors, now
with the I4tli Regiment ir; the
Philippines, to wii: 1st Lt. Fred
Price, and 2nd Lt. Smith Harris.
Capt. Noel Grant, now a pay
master in the navy, was also, in
structed by Maj. Tillson, together
with numerous other young men
now filling important stations m
government and railway and tele"
graph and telephone service.
A short biographical sketch of
Maj. Tillson may not bo uninter
esting, We obtain the facts from
a recent publication, “Who’s who
in Now York city and State:”
Born at Elmira, Now York, May
26, 1850; was graduated from El
mira Free Academy in 1874; ap
pointed to West Point Military
Academy in 1874, and graduated
in 1878. Appointed 2nd Lieuten
ant dune 21, 1878, and assigned
to 5th Infantry, and was com
missioned 1st Lieutenant 1888;
made Captain in J 1th Infantry
March, 1*97 and became Major of
4th Infantry March, 1902. Per
formed military service in Mon
tana, Texas, Florida, Louisana and
Georgia, and on recruiting service
at Cleveland, Ohio. It was while
in the Philippines, his Regiment,
the 14th Infantry, was dispatched
with the China Relief Expedition
in 1900; after the capture of Pekin,
Maj. Tillson was made provost
marshal; American District of Pe
kin, and served in this capacity
until the allied armies left China.
He received the thanks of Prince
Oiling and Li Hung Chang for
humane administration in Pekin.
After the return of the Regiment
to America, Maj. Tillson was
placed in command of Fort Mack
intosh, Texas.
Maj. Tillson, while living in
Dahlonega, has always been acs
companied by Mrs. Tillson,
whom he married in Frankfort,
Kentucky as Miss Adelaide Meek.
Their household is a happy one,
brightened by the presence of their
accomplished daughter, Miss Ma
rine Tillson, who has boon for sev
eral years a popular pupil of Ag
nes Scott College at Decatur, Ga.
Their only son, John Tillson, Jr.,
will enter West Point Military
Academy this summer, being np-
pointed thereto by President
Roosevelt.
These excellent people have,
during their stay in Dahlonega,
added much to the social enjoy
ment and pleasures of the town.
Maj. Tillson delights in his horses,
and when not engaged in collego
work may often bo seen driving
his Texas pontes in real army
style. His work at the college is
appreciated by the Trustees and
by his fellowmembers of the fac
ulty. For years to ccrne his la
bors will he remembered grate
fully by hundreds of young men,
and young women too, who have
been benefitted by his learning and
discipline.
MR. TATE WILL RUN.
False Rumors Set at Rest by
a Letter From our Con
gressman.
In regard to the recent rumors
that Mr. Tate would decline to
stand for re-election, much infor
mation may be gained by reading
the following correspondence:
Gainesville, Ga., Mar. 12,
1904.
Hon. F. C. Tate,
House of Representatives,
Washington, D. C.:
My Dear Sir: It has been pub
lished in the newspapers that there
was some doubt as to your being a
candidate for re-election to Cons
gress in the coming election. Be
cause of these publications many
persons are confused. In view of
these facts, I request that you ad
dress the people of the Ninth dis
trict, through the Eagle, so that
they may fully understand the sit
uation.
Very truly, yours,
W. H. Craig,
Editor Eagle.
IIOl'HK OK R K P It E H 1C N T A TIV K8,
Washington, D. O.,
March J4, 1904.
Mr. W. II. Craig,
Editor Eagle, Gainesville, Ga.:
Mv. Dear Sir: Yours just received.
The publication in the newspapers, re
ferred to in your letter, does me a great
injustice. The effort to construe my
failure to engage in a canvass of our
district, while I have been tied down
here in Washington by my official du
ties since the beginning of the extra
session early in November, as evidence
that I would not be a candidate for re-
election, is unwarranted, unjust, and
unfair. I am a candidate for re-elec
tion, and thank you for this opportu
nity of so announcing to the people of
the Ninth Congressional district.
As you arc aware, I am endeavoring
to pass a public building bill for your
city, and have already secured a site
for tin's building, and that I am also
vitally interested in (lie bill reported
by my committee, and now on the cal-

CEtjidren’s a Specialty.
Call and See my Spring Goods,
Mining, of which I am the ranking
Democrat, for the establishment of a
Mining Experimental Station. Jf I
can secure the passage of this bill I
hope to be able to locate this station,
for testing minerals, in our section of
the Stale. With measures like these,
and others of great importance, pend
ing before the House requiring my at
tention, I felt that it. was my duty to
remain here and look after the busi
ness of the people rather than abandon
my post of duty to advance my person
al political interest.
I l ake this opportunity of calling the
attention of the people of the Ninth
Congressional district to some of the
considerations upon which my candi
dacy for re-election is based.
The office of Congressman differs
from a State or county office, for the
work of shaping legislation in Congress
is done almost entirely by committees,
and only members of Congress who
have had long service and experience
are placed on important committees.
I am now the ranking Democrat on
two, and second on another, of the
great committees of the House, and
will bo chairman of one of these com
mittees if re-elected to Congress and
the Democrats carry the House of Rep
resentatives, which I confidently be
lieve we will l>e able to do. tf a new
man is sent here he must start at the
foot and work It is way up, and in view
of the large increase in the number of
Congressmen, from 357 to 380, no man
can hope, even in the length of time I
have been, in the future to secure the
committee assignments that I now
have.
While the office of Congressman is
one of the highest in the gift of the
people, I have always regarded as a
trust to be used for the benefit of the
people rather than to be handed around
from one man to another solely for the
benefit of tin: holder and not for the
benefit of the people. The people
should have the opportunity to pass on
the record of their Congressman often,
at least every two years, hut if that
record is good it should he endorsed.
The highest usefulness of a Con
gressman to his people comes from his
| experience and familiarity with the nu-
j memos duties which he is called upon
I to perform. The service I have had in
Washington has added to my exper
ience and efficiency as the people's
representative. The interest of our
people hns been my constant study
since I have held the office of Congress
man, and I believe my votes and ut
terances here will sustain my state
ment that I have always acted solely
for the interest of our whole people. I
have zealously looked after the per
sonal interest of our people in matters
here, and in this respect my usefulness
to Liu- people of our district, on ac
count of my experience, has increased.
What I say about this office applies
to every business in life. The filling
of a political office is but doing the
business of the people, and in this busi
ness of the people the fairest test that
can he applied to any candidate is his
intelligence, honesty, fidelity and ex
perience.
My record in Congress, on all
ques
tions of public interest, is well known,
endar, for the establishment of a School and on that record I ask the people of
of Mines and Mining This hill will the Ninth Congressional district for a
continuance of their support and conti-
of Mines and Mining. This bill will
give to the North Georgia Agricultural
College at Dahlonega a School of Mines
and Mining for the purpose of training
the boys of our country as expert mi
nors, mineralogists, and mining engi
neers. This is of the greatest impor
tance to the people of our district, and
especially to the mineral section, i
am also interested in a bill, just re
ported by the Committee on Mines and
deuce. In doing so, I renew to them
the promise that in the future, as in
the past, the best efforts of my head
and heart shall be used in their inter
est, and in submitting my candidacy
again to them I confidently rely upon
their unbiased and enlightened judg
ment for a renewed expression of their
confidence and approval of my course
as their public servant.
Yours very truly,
F. C. TATE.
A Card From C. F. McAtce.
Fellow Citizens of Lu^pkjn
County:
Having been confined to my bed
with imflanimutory rheumatism
since my announcement in Tre
Nugget and Signal which has pijos
vented me from taking an evon
start with my compeditors for the
office of Tax Collector of Lumpkin
pounty. Having confidence in
myself and the many kind solicita
tions by my friends, and hope to
see you face to face, I desire to
inform you that I am in the race to
iiuisli, and if 1 should share your
confidence and votes on April 20tb,
the day fixed for the Democratic
primary, I shall feel gratified to
my countrymen of the county that
gave me birth, and pledge myself
that 1 shall so conduct the affairs
of the office of tax collector that
you shall have no cause to regret
having voted for me.
Yours obediently,
Charges F. McAfee.
The Woman who Makes
Home Unhappy.
As a rule, women are more utii
selfish than men, but very often
they lack the right kind of con-,
sideration for their husbands,
They will treasure up all the cares
and worriments of the day for
their husbands’ ears when they
come home at night probably feeL
ing weary and tired. If the hus
band appears unsympathetic, the
wife imagines herself a much in,
jured person. Then follows “the
little rift in the lute” that de
stroys the sweet harmony of the
homo. The woman who makes
her home happy and who is al
ways pleasing in her husband’s
eyes is the one who exercises those
two indispensable qualities, tact
and cheerfulness. Speaking mild,
ly, the woman who “nags” has
precious little loveliness in her
character. Her husband deserves
the greatest sympathy, for cer
tainly the man with a “nagging”
wife has an unhappy lot. A wo,
man is only increasing her bus.
band’s faults when she is forever
depicting them to him. One
sweet quality in a woman will dq
more good than any number of re*
provals.
A Minnesota cow recently
slaughtered by Swift & Co., at
their Chicago plant, was found to
have in hor stomach a ball of pins,
firmly welded together with their
points all turned inward and
weighing fourteen ounces. This
partially answers the mooted ques
tion, “Wlmt becomes of all tho
pins.” But whether our dairy ex
perts will decide that pins, prop
erly digested, possess milk-mak-
I ing properties, fernajnsto bo seen.
