A special from Grand Rapid,

So far, Judge Simmons has re
ceived tho endorsement of evory
county in tho stato. This is as it
should he, for ho has discharged
his duties ably and satisfactorily.
We feel confident that there arc
candidates for office in this county
subject to the doinocrutic primary
fliat arc not now democrats nor
never have'boeir. AM such should
be snowed under.
We alroady'havc tho democratic
ticket in type for tho primary in
this county and it contains the
names of> forty 7 candidates includ
ing, governor, stato house officers
and congressional aspirants.
Chief Justice Simmons is too
fibc a jurist, too pnro a man and
tdo good a soldier f soys the North
Georgia Citizen, for tho people of
Georgia tothink’of removing from
tho supreme bench, however fine a
mah he is-that wants the chief
justiceship-.
The lritc republican convention
iti Atlanta was enough to disgust
every white republican in Georgia,
ft! was no lily white meeting by
any means, as there wefe about
ttoo negroes to' every whilo man,

tBo do legation.
J;1 S. Turner is tho present
chairman of tho prison’ com mis-
mission; Ho is a candidate for ro-
election and from what wo learn
ffotn these'who are personally acs
qtlaifited with the gentleman in
DahlOinogrif be should succeed in
ifiis efforts. Mr, Turner has per
formed his duties to the satisfac
tion of all, and what more could
be asked of him?
Judge Kimsey of this circuit,
held court jn Ranks county last
Week for Jhdgo Russel, and this is
if ~ ' i
the kind of a cofftplimefit tho
dpmmor<;o News pay3 him: “Judge
KimseyV charge to the Grand
Jhry wits one of 'the best wo havo
over heard. As ^ presiding officer
he is a model. He is positive but
kind. While protecting the rights
of citizens m meeting out justice
to violators of law, ho at tho saitio
lime manifests a disposition to
save the criminal. Taking all in
all wo., regard him a'3 tx inode!
judge.”
Among the republican executive
qommitteo of the 9th district of
Georgia} is a negro shoemaker at
Gainesville. He can peg shoos
and at tho same time lay plans for
the white race of his party to be
governed by. White people of
Georgia, why do you mix' and
mingle with these nogroos any long
er?' Change and join a white
nian’s party, so you cun vote for
your friends and neighbors. Don’t
slick to this party just because
you hold an office under tho
present administration, or ex
pect to got one. The negroes
stick to each other and most cer
tainly intelligent white peopi'o
should learn to do the same.
Neither Populist or. Demo
cratic Doctrine.
A while before the meeting of
the democratic executive commit
tee of Lumpkin county wc stated
in Tiik Nugoktt that Mr. Carl
Shultz, candidate for the legislas
ture in this county, was re
ported ns saying to a gentleman
in [substance that ho believed
a man could voto in tho primary
and if ho didn’t get his choice he
could leave the nominated persons
name 1 blank at tho final election
and not violate any obligation, yet
Mr. Shultz said in his platform of
last wcok that ho “is as- sound a
democrat, so far as my knowledges
teaches me as there is in the demo
cratic party today.” Mr. Shultz,
informed us that ho didn’t remem
ber making th«o assertion. Wc
state to you that he did say it
and we are nblo to procure a sworn
affidavit that he edid, naming all
parties present at tho time. In ad
dition to this, Mr. Shultz in a con
versation with Mr. John Moore, af
ter* the executive mooting was held
showed by. his actions-[ that le
was very much [displeased because
his friend, Capt. F. M. Williams,
failcdjjo get the paragraph in the
democratic* resolutions prohibit
ing republicans from voting in tl e
democratic primary struck out.
Jf Mr. Shultz “is as sound a demo
crat as there is in the democratic
party,” why did ho oppose the
door being closed to republi
cans in a democratic primary? An
swer: Recause.ho has republican
friends in this : county who will
vote for him if the wayvia open
to them.
Mr; Shiiltz-says that he “was
once a populist,” We were once
but never heard o-f any such doc
trine as the above in the populist,
democratic or any other party.
Not oven the “knownothings.”
What wo havo said has been
done in [a perfect good humor.
Personally wo like Mr. Shultz."He
is a good, nice, intelligent young
man, who has a blight future be 1 *
fore him, provided that he does not
get his politics'mixod upjtoo much,
Wc wilt admit that Mr. Shultz
is very forgetful, So much so|
that he failed to return his state |
and county taxes to tho receiver
hist year, and they are on the
back of the receiver’s book, enters
ed by hisjwarm friend Mr. M. J,
Williams. Mr. Williams may an
swer as Mr, JShullz’s advisor hero
and keep him correctly sbowD up,
bnt he can’t do it for him in tho
Legislature should he bo elected,
for every tub has to stand on its
own bottom there, and if a fellow
gets on the back of the book in the-
legislature hhi county goes miarep
resented 1- .
Mo says that ho has practically
been a citizen of Lumpkin county
since 1897. Why is it then that his
name doesn’t appenr on the tax di
gest before 1900?
Consider these things carofully.
Four years ago his opponents,-
Cols. Huff and ftrysoh, helped to
Organize the democratic party and
helpod to work for it, and Mr.
Shultz couldn’t be persuaded to
vote in' the primary.
Let us seriously consider this
matter for a fe>v minutes. Now
when a than is so careless aud for
getful as to fail to return his
state aud county taxes after the
receiver has given notice in his
county paper for two or three
months and tho gentleman a week
ly reader of the same,' h'Ow ban he
be expected to accomplish any
thing, admitting that ho is a trttS
democrat, saying nothing of his
bad recollection of what hb said
concerning persons Voting in th*e
primary only a few weeks ago,
should ho be elected to the legisla-
laturc? This is fodd for thought
ahd wo don’t ask for all to speak
at obco.
As stated before, what we have
said about Mr. Shultz is through
no enmity. Neither is it because he
Is running tho Signal in opposi
tion to us, for ho only has it leas
ed and its owner wants to sell it to
tis-^-giving us the preference to all
cithers, and it may be that we will
own that paper in a few months.

CARTER TATE.
Why Should Lpmpkin Coun
ty Support Him?
By reason of his present posi
tion in congress, as the leading
democrat' on the committee on
Mines and Mining. Carter Tate is
where he can probably do tnoro to
stimulate the mining industry
than either of his opponents. He
has introduced a bill and it has
already passed the committee
whereby a School of Mines will
be located here in Dahlonega. It
would be run by appropriation
made by the government and in
connection with the North Geor
gia Agricultural College. The di
rect off'ect would be to double the
attendance and the usefulness of
the college, to create the best kind
of a market for our farmers to
sell their produce, to ennae- thou
sands of dollars to be annually
spent here, to turn the attention
of mining investors here, because
a school would tend necessarily to
tv development of our mineral re
sources. Our miners would be
given employment at home and
the necessity of their going to the
death-pits of Alabama' would be
avoided. Mr. Tate’s position
would immensely help us in this
matter. Why not vote for him?
Certainly neither of his opponents
could do better and they could
not now do as well.
FOR SALE bl DR. C. H. JONES.,
Gentlemen, wo have been a pop
ulist r but since returning to the
democratic party, matters not how
hungry wo might be for an office
we could not ask democrats to vote
for us in preference to one who
has always been a democrat and
stuck light square to tho old party
in time of need, yet it is being
done by leading democrats right
here in Dalilonega—-even’for par
ties who have heretofore fought
the primary and made independ
ent races. Shove out life long dem
ocrats and give their places to new
converts. It is wrong, aud has
a tendency to cripple tho demo
cratic party that will cause negro
Rucker in Atlanta to dress up in a
smile as large ns a broad
aXe. Don’t do it.
Ome candidate t'of congress
Seems to be trying to joke hi's way
in. Another seeuis to be tin-span
ning or brass banding his way in,
but Carter Tate is standing on his
record and getting the Votes.
Jokes are all right and brass
bands and sFdo shows are too, in
their place, but when a fellow
wauts to go to congress he needs
something better than either.
The folks ate not to be led oft' by
jo'kes and brass bands.
It is reported that “Shotgun”
Walker, wlio is a candidate for the
office of comity treasurer subject
to the action of the democratic par-
ty* stated at some time that
ire yoted for a republican
president and democratic lo
cal officers. Is this so? We are
working for the democratic party
is why wc ask the question;
The report last week that Cob
Bryson, a candidate for the
legislature, would withdraw from
the race, was “knocked in the
head” when tho gentleman walked
up and paid his assessment since,
being tho first candidate in Lump-
kiu county to do this.
There is not a singlo candidate
for coroner in Lumpkin county
this time.
It was reported that if Sheriff
Davis \Vns defeated in the prima
ry that he would make an inde
pendent race for sheriff. His sig
nature under the proper heading
elsewhere proves this to be false.
A north Georgia farmer who
raises a lot of Irish potatoes in
packing the same for shipment lost
his pocket knife. He always
plants eastern potatoes. This year
in opening a barrel of extra fine
eastern (?) potatoes for which he
had paid a fancy price, he found
his knife. You can figure out how
it happened.—West Point News.
To the democrats.—Don’t you
believe that some of you are maks
ing a big mistake by supporting
new recruits 10 the democratic par
ty for office in [preference to those
who have stuck to it all through
life? It’s true that] we welcome
them, bnt wouldn’t it be best for
the party to let them be with it in
time of peace awhile longer?
Take them in *on probation,! like
the Methodist church used to do
new converts. By doing this it
will strengthen the party. Rut
offering a man an office just to get
him to return or join it, is] a bad
example, and will eventually injure
the democratic party, because if
some of these new converts fail to
got an offico this time they will
never utter a word in behalf of
the democratic party any more.
It’s the office that some of them
want and they arc not particular
how they get it. Why didn’t they
talk democracy before they expect
ed to announce for office? If you
have a fruit tree that has always
borne good fruit are yon going to?
cut it down to give place to a
faulty produces?
At a mass meeting of tho demo
crats of Habersham county the
following resolution was passed,
which we most heartly indorse,
wishing that there was time
enough before the primary in
bumpkin county to call a mass
meeting for this purpose: That
all candidates for senator, repre
sentative and county offices shall,
on or before the 10th day of April
1904, subscribe their name to the
following pledge, tOMvit: I, -
a candidate for the democratic
nomination for of Haber
sham county, hereby obligato
and bind myself not to uso any
money, liquor or paid workers
during tbo campaign or at the
polls, and hereby agree that in the
event I violate any of the condi
tions of this obligation, that no
vote cast for me in the primary
election to be held in said county,
shall be counted—hereby agreeing
to all the conditions passed by res--
olutions of tho democratic mass
meeting and tho executive com
mittee of said county, as touching
a violation of this pledge.
The communication againts Mr.
Tom Ward, candidate for sheriff,
wo refuse to publish on account of
its length aud pefsonal nature. As
far as Mr. Ward being unable to
read and write, and that. Mr. Ful
ton Williams will be his deputy if
elected, wo do not know. The law
gives any sheriff a right in this’
oi’ aDy other eouuty in Georgia,
to appoint a deputy if he deems it
ucCessalv.
Carter Tate and Tom Bell met
in joint debate down at Lawrences
ville the other day. Carter took
Cousin Tom on surprise and made
tho fur fly, Mr. Tato will likely
be in tho district until after tho
primary is over.
Mr. J. C. Stargcl is out of tho
race for tax receiver. So is Mr.
Moses Moore for tax collector.
They are both tillers of tho soil
and have decided that they can
make more by farming than by
mixing up with politics.
It is being reported out in the
oountry that the people of Dahlon
ega havo formed a Apolitical ring
here. This we can safely brand
as false, for there are so many
candidates, and friends to the
people here that they are say
ing but little.
Are Democrats and Will
Stand by the Nominees.
In our issue of the'J]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 Jto
thefnominees, either elected or de
feated at the primary, to send us
their names for publication, so the
people of this county might not be
deceived in casting their ballots in
the primary. So far, the follows
