Althongh Mr. Shultz lives or

to the country and says there is a
town ring here. By this he con
fesses that he is not expecting to
get many votes in town. And if he
fails to do well where he is known
best ho will not get much of a vote
for the legislature where he is not
known. This is the way wo look
at it, for people out in the country
are not likely to east their ballots
for n stranger until they make
some onqutry of people who know
him. And he says that “Bill Price

list. All tho candidates in this
county have signed This obligation.
Of course several will bo de-r

Will stick—go right up to the polls
at the final election and carry
out this obligation,
Last week an effort was made-by
some of tho political enemies of
Col. Huff to get his two opponents
to withdraw from the legislative
race and put up Capt. F‘. M. Wil
liams of Two Run. But after au
investigation they soon found that
this wouldn’t take well as Capt.
Williams endeavored to get tho
clause in the democratic resolu
tions prohibiting republicans from
voting in the primary loft out.
And in addition to this it is re
ported that, Captain Williams says
if I10 does not get his choice in the
primary that ho is not going to
Vofco against his friends in tho elec
tion. if this be true the Captain inccs .\. The way was then open to
* republicans m the primary and
is not as strong a democrat as Mr.
Shultz and will not even be entis
llch to a vote in the primary. Mr.
Shultz, with all his democratic
weakness, has pledged IiilUself to
stick to the nominees.
From reports from all parts of
the county it looks as if Tate will
receive seventy-five percent of the
total vote for congress. This is
as it should be. Carter Tato has
ever been faithful to Lumpkin
County. No demand has ever been
made upon him that ho has not
responded. He has looked after
our mails, llo has looked after
our private interests. He has fa
vored our people in roccivirfg ap 1 -
pointmonts wherever possible. He
has contributed to our institutions,
but above all bo has worked and
voted for the interests of our peo
ple. Whenever Lumpkin county
has wanted anything Tato could
always be relied on foT help. It
was thought a few weeks ago that
he possibly had not been active
for rural free delivery; but inves
tigation showed that he had Tint
only done everything in his power,
dot only that he looked aftef our
interests most carefully, but that
in fact he bad accomplished more
in this respect than any other con
gressmun in this state. This in
formation came direct from the de
partment. We congratulate our
county that our people ore giving
Tule such hearty support.
might hurt him in Ins race. And
later when a short editorial did
appear in tho Signal praising our
able and most worthy congress
man, it was while Mr. Shultz was
absent and the senior editor had to
insert a notice in the paper show
ing that he was responsible for all
the editorials and locals of that is
sue. And yet Mr. Shultz says he
is a democrat. Ho may bo but is
too tender footed to do t>t>y good
in the legislature. Just think of a
man believing in the populist doc
trine, running a neutral paper in
politics, making a democratic race
and electioneering with every res
publican he can find in tho county.
Four years ago Mr. Shultz refused
to go into the primary, and two
years ago if so he didn’t use
any influence. If he did Tt had no
effect for many of those who yoted
in the primary of the dsitrict where
he stayed turned right round in
the final election and voted for
republican and independent candi
dates against tho democratic nom-
this is what they did, not only in
that district’ but throughout the
county. Nevertheless Mr. Shultz
says they oifgfft to be allowed to
voto in the primary again. And
in addition to this he wants the
democrats to give him an office,
yet ho does not utter a word in his
paper or in any other way that we
have beard of in behalf of the dem
ocratic party.
Why doesn’t he urge all tho peo
ple to pull together instead of try
ing to create bad feelings between
the town and country people. In
this ho would accomplish more
good even if they do not choose to
send him to tho legislature. If he
wants the help of the people he
should not try to get up strife and
discord among them.
This is why we are against Mr,
Shultz, and one reason Col. Price
has for not supporting him is be
lie fought and voted against a res
olution presented by tho board of
education asking that I10 and all
other school teachers of this coun
ty, devote fifteen minutes in school
each day in either singing, praying
or reading the scriptures.
LaTeu.—Mr. Shultz tells 11s that
he is now talking and preaching
democracy. He ought to have be
gun tliis sooner. It would have
had a better effect. Like the poor
old drunken man giving the boys
a temperence lecture the other day.
Ho said many interesting things
and his advice was good but they
wondered why he had not been
practicing what I10 preached long
ago. His words weut like chaff
thrown to the wind. So goes Mr,
Shultz’ democratic talk.
dared (hat, lie should be re-elected
and that ITall county should cast her
vote for him. His speech'ivas greeted
With applause. Mr. Tate spoke for two
hours and gave a satisfactory account
of liis stewardship and showed that lie
had ever been true to bis people.
The large court room was filled to its
utmost capacity and a great many
standing through the entire speech, all
giving close attention to the speech
and applauding the speaker on every
proposition.
At the conclusion of the speech Col
onel S. C. Dunlap olfered the following
strong resolutions endorsing Mr. Tate
and pledging Hall county for him.
The motion was seconded by a number
of leading citizens and pnt to the house
by the chairman and were carried by a
ringing unanimous vote with the ex
ception of one dissenting vote, that be
ing the chairman of the Bell club.
THE RESOLUTIONS.
Resolutions indorsing Hon. F. 0.
Tato for re-election passed by the Hall
comity Democrats:
“Whereas the Honorable F. C. Tate,
congressman for this district has se
cured ah appropriation of $5,000 for the
purchase of a site for a government
building at this place and the land lias
been purchased therefor, and
“Whereas, lie lias introduced a bill
in congress to appropriate $150,000 for
the purpose jnf erecting a building
thereon and the same is now pending
before congress with flattering pros
pects for its passage, and
“Whereas, The long service of Mr.
Tate in congress only adds to his ef
ficiency and liis high standing on the
minority representations on some of
tho leading committees of the house of
representatives in congress gives him
a prestige that lias been well earned
and to which no new member could at
tain until after long years’ of service.
“Whereas, A mining school for the
education of the young men of our sec
tion is one of the pressing needs of
this community and lie being the rank
ing Democrat on the committee on
mines and mining gives Mr. Tate all
advantage not easily won and hard to
secure, and,
“Whereas, Gainesville is the head
quarters of mining section of the state,
and while the proposed school will be
an adjunct of the North Georgia Agri
cultural College at Dahlonega, it wifi
be of incalculable benefit to 11s and the
Whole state; and,
“\\ liereas, A free mail delivery in
this city is one of the pressing demands
Upon us, and Mr. Tate’s prestige will
be of inestimable value towards secur
ing the same; and,
“Whereas, Under the industry and
alertness of Mr. Tate more rural free
mail delivery routes have been estab
lish than in any other district in the
state, thus carrying and delivering a
daily mail to the intelligent rural pop
ulation and farmers in every county in
the district.

The First Campaign Guns.
The first joint debates between
Col. Huff and Mr. Shultz, candi
dates for the legislature from our
county, occurred up at Cane
Creek last Saturday and the fol
lowing night nt Oak Grove. Some
twenty voters were present at the
first place and about forty at the
latter. They had no brass band
and the children remained away.
The speakers didn’t use any hot
shot, only explained their plats
forms in a very pleasant manner.
Mr. Shultz favored one plank
of the people’s party platform—
allowing women lojvoto which his
opponent knocked into a cocked
hat by showing that the people of
this county didn’t want to see
their wives and daughters making
their way to the polls through a
crowd of drunken men.
During his discourse Mr. Shultz
referred Oto what “old father
Townsend” lmd said about him in
a sarcastic manner. This is the
only way he could for what fath-
or Townsend charges him with are
facts that he cannot deny.
We believe there a number of men
in Lumpkin county with much
more democracy about them than
Mr. Shultz who won’t even vote
in the primary, much less ask
for an office through the demo
cratic party.
Now Mr. Shultz says that he
can’t see why we keep picking at
him when there are candidates in
the field asking for office with less
democracy than he lms. Their of
fice is of much less importance
than the one he is seeking. Be
sides they are permanent residents
and well known and the demo
crats of Lumpkin have no no
tion of electing them. In ad
dition to this they are not ac
quainted with populism like we
are. It and democracy will no
more mix here now than tar and
water. We attended a’state meet
ing in Atlanta once and there
found two big black negro dela-
gates.' We returned home and quit
the patch in disgust. For these
reasons we don’t believe the dem
ocrats of Lumpkin county have
any notion of trying to hoist a
populist kite with a little bit of a
demcratic tail, especially when
the phonograph attached repeats
some political doctrine that ought
to be a warning.
And last but not least, if Mr.
Shultz has been converted and is
a democrat, why does he crave for
the republicans to be allowed a
vote in the democratic primary.
Tho Gainesville Eagle has this
to say about Carter Tate; “Wo
need Tate yet. Wo havo never
yet heard a charge against Mr.
1’ate’s loya’ty and efficiency except
by persons who wanted his place
for either themselves or their
friends. The fact is you cannot
find a flaw in his record. He is one
of the hardest and most experienc
ed workers in congress today.”
The Superior Court of Union
county has been postponed until
the 4th Monday in May on account
of the prevalence of smallpox in
that county.
The Gainesville Cotton Mills re
sumed operation last week.
Blue Ridge had a $20,000 tire on
Sunday night.
Quite a good sized list of now
sucscribers received last week for
which we return thanks.
CHALLENGE FROM
C. H. JONES.
Dr.
Oiler to Refund Money if Dr.
Howard’s Specific Will Not
Curo „.uy Case of Consti
pation or Dyspepsia.
Dr. C. II, Jones is seeking the
worst case of dj’spepsia or constipa
tion in Dahlonega or vicinity to test
Dr. Howard’s new specific for the
cure of those diseases.
So confident is he that this remark
able medicine will effect a lasting
cure in a short time, that he offers to
refund the money should it not be
successful.
In order to secure the quickest
possible introduction Dr. Jones will
sell a regular fifty cent package of
this medicine at half price, 25 cents.
This specific of Dr Howard’s will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings,
constipation, dispepsia, and ail
forms of malaria and liver trouble.
It does not simply give relief for a
time; it makes permanent and com
plete cures.
It will regulate the bowels, tone
up tho whole intestina' tract, give
you an appetite, make food taste
good and digest well, and increase
vigor. Joy and happiness will take
tho place of that “don’t care wheth
er I live or die” feeling.
Take advantage of Dr. Jones’
challenge and secure a bottle of Dr.
Howard's specific at half price,
with his personal guarant e to re
fund your money if it does not help
you.
There is no need of suffering with
constipation, dyspepsia or liver dis
ease when you can get sixty doses
ot a scientific nuaPcine for their cure
like Dr. Howard’s specific for the
small sum of 25 cents.
Court Postponed.
Chambers, Cleveland, Ga.,
April 5, 1904.
It appearing to the Court that the
April Term, 1904, of Lumpkin Superior
court, can be held the fourth week in
April instead of the third week in said
month, and that on account of the Rri •
111 ar y Election occuring the said week
the court has been adjourned over to
the fourth week all except the first day
Monday, the usual time for holding
said court, and it now appearing that
it is not necessary even to have Mon
day, as nothing ean be done of much
importance but organize, and that can
be done the fourth Monday as well, it
is therefore ordered that said court be
adjourned over to ton o’clock Monday
of the fourth week in April, 1904, and
that there will be no court at all tire
said third week, and that the clerk of
said court is directed to notify all ju
rors by writing them a postal card not
to come till said fourth Monday, all

ted in said superior court are required
