DAHLONEGA, JUNE

City and
It 18 said that the Japs lost t‘2,-
OOO men during the fight at Kin
Chou on the 27th nit.
The News reports tho theft of
two houses in that city recently,
showing thnt they take big things
as well as little ones in Atlanta.
Last Tuesday ouo year ago, one
of tho most destructive cyclones,
that ever struck this country
swooped down on the city of
Gainesville.
One day last week William Stepp
killed Tom Winner, a negro, who
was walking across lus field con
trary to Mr. Stepp’s rules. It
is not beat to trod on forbidden
grass.
State Treasurer Parker has
raised the question as to the con
stitutionality of the act calling for
a summer session of the Georgia
legislature, and his right to pay
the members of tho general as-
sembly and their per diem and
miledge. Tho states’attorney will
render a decission very soon.
Should he decide it unconstitution
al to pay the members of tho sum
mer session thorewill be a larger
number to pensioners than usual.
We told you that, the democratic
gate was being swung open too
wide to the republicans during the
late democratic primary, causing
some men to be nominated who
would not have been otherwise.
Now those republican voters will
turn their backs in a different di
rection in the general election and
fight those that they wero for then,
like men who went across tho lino
during the civil war. They got a
pension in that caso, but they won’t
in this.
A strong effort has been made
to get Col. Pay, a republican of
Jasper, to make the race for con*
gross against Mr. Bell, but he
wisely declines. A leading res
publican laBt week informed us
that he stated to Mr. Pay that he
would take tho field for him and
contribute three hundred dollars
to the campaign fund, and still
Mr. Day said no. The gentleman
has lived his throe score years and
ten almost and is fully awaro that
the people of tho Ninth district aro
not going to elect a republican
this time, if ever.
Col. Farrow, while on his way
to the Queen of the Mountains last
week, said that his same relatives
would run the hotel again this sea
son. This is n year of politics and
tho Colonel being a politician,
takes great pleasure and much in
terest in a campaign when there is
a republican in the field or likely
to be. He will devote much time
and money in pushing his mans
interest. But when it comes to
trying to put a republican in con
gress from the Ninth the Colonel
knows that his timo, engergy and
money is all lost. Yet he wants to
show a willing hand.
A telegram from Washington
City says: The department of
agriculture today announced that
an ant has been found in Guuta*
mala that is an effective enemy of
tho boll weovil. It will bo immedi
ately introduced into the cotton
states. The greatest significance
is attached to the discovery which
is made by 0. F. Cook, the botan
ist in charge of tropical agricul
tural investigations of the bureau
of plant industry. Cabled instruc
tions have been sent to him to re
port immediately to the depart
ment what assistance he needs iu
the way of men and money. Dur
ing a trip in Central America last
year Mr. Cook discovered a cotton,
grown by Indians, which gave evi*
deuce of being immune from the
attack of the boll weevil and ou
orders from the department he
later began an investigation in
cortain points in Guatamala and
Mexico.
The State Convention.
*
The state democrotic convention ;
has met and adjourned. Every- (
thing was harmonious and nice.
The delegates were instructed
for Parker. Below is a list for
the state at large: M. .1. Yec*
man, John D. Maddox, James M.
Smith, C. it. Penticton.
Ninth District delcgalos: W. K.
Candler, Cnion; W. W. Stark,
Jackson.
State Exceutiye committee !>th
District: C. 11. Brand, Gwinnett;
W. A. Charters, Lumpkin; J. H.
Witzell, Fannin.
About Those Telegrams.
As requested by Bro. Perry of
the Cherokee Advance, wo publish
his reply to Mr. Bell in reference
to the tclogrnniR sent out during
tho piimary, as follows:
“We print with pleasure the let
ter of Mr. Bell, and the above
statement also ofCapt. Jones, but
we will not undertake to reconcile
them. Tho marshal and Mr. .Tones
say that no such thing as stated in
the telegrams occurred. Mr.
Bell justifies Mr. Walker in send-
iug the telegrams. What effect
this telegram had at Toccoa and
other precincts in Habersham
county in giving Mr, Bell that
county by seven majority, wo are
unablo to say, but Capt. .Jones
says that these telegrams at Toes
coa iu Habersham county, and
other places, hurt Mr. Tate badly.
But as to whether or not there was
captured and in the hands of the
marshal at Norcross on election
day *127 of Tate money and whis*
key, asstuted in tho Walker tele
gram justified by the above letter
of Mr. Bell, we must leave to Mr.
Boll, Mr. Walker, Capt. Jones and
the town marshal, and tho public
themselves can say whether or not
such political methods, if true as
reported, are disreputable.”
Col. Farrow Wants Mr. Ash
ley to Run.
While Col. Farrow, was on his re
turn home from Porter Springs last
Sunday, we dropped in toseothe
gentleman whilo he was waiting at
the post-office for tho down stage
to his city, and while enjoying the
company of the Colonel the con
gressional race iu the Ninth Dis
trict was sprung, and ho said that
wo might announce that he was
for Mr. Ashley—was talking for
him, corresponding for him and
doing all he could to advance his
interest.
It might be well enough for us
to say here that wo had a conver
sation with Mr. Ashley the day
previous who stated to us that he
was not a candidate for this faonor-
orable position, yet ho gave us to
understand that he would ho in the
field if he believed there were
enough dissatisfied democrats that
would help tho republicans defeat
Mr. Bell, the democratic nominee
for congress. In fact Mr. Ashley
asked us what we thought about
his chances of being elected, and
wo were frank enough to give him
our honest opinion—that there was
none whatever. That tho sore
ness would be out of all those who
failed to get their choice iu the re
cent primary and on the day of the
election they would step up to the
polls uud cast their ballots for Tom
Bell and send him to Washington
by an oyerwheling majority, mat
ters not what republican runs or i
how well known or influential lie j
is.
It’s true that Col. Farrow is a |
wheel horse in politics, for he is I
willing to put in much time and
money into the republican cam
paign basket. notwithstanding
all this our friend is not strong
enough 'o turn tho Ninth district
republican. Every republican in
it knows this to be a fact. Often
it has been tried. A strong effort
has been made to get life long re
publicans of the district to make I
the race without succoss, and now
Mr. Ashley, who has not been from
Ohio long enough to acquaint him
self with the political situation here
is the last chance. If he declines a
blank leaf will have to be left in
the republican record of this dis
trict.
Matters not who runs Lumpkin
county can now be put down in
the Beil column by a big majority.

The N. G. A. College Once
More.
Well, this will make tho fourth
year we have seen tl&e concluding
exercises of the North Georgia Ag
ricultural College. Her com
mencement will begin on Jlune
12th and end on the night .of tho
15th.
While this is our last tame it
will probably be the best time we
have ever seen at this institution.
We are no longer a student uuder
her direction but we will ever be
as loyal a friend as she can pro
fess to claim.
Within the last four years we
have undergone many trials and
troubles that it takes to make up
a college life. We have burnt a
little midnight oil. We have
dreamed about the Latin verb.
We have dreamed of the right tri
angle. We have dreamed that we
were writing compositions. We
dreamed that water and H2 O
were different properties. We
dreamed that we were sailing
in the aerial regions within a par
adise of flowers where the walks
were lined with gold and the fair
ies reigned in universal peace,
when,Lo! our slumbers are dis
turbed by the sound of the college
bell and we must rise from our re
pose of refreshing sleep and go to
school.
There would be many things to
talk about in connection with our
college just at present but the one
we are most anxious to speak
about is the personnel of her excel
lent faculty.
Prof. Galllard, the senior mem
ber, has been in connection with
the college since it was establish
ed. He has always won the es
teem of his students. He has led
them successfully into the study
of science. They respect him for
his sympathy. Prof. Gaillard is
now acting president (of the col
lege.
Prof. J. W. Boyd is at the head
of the department of mathemat
ics. Prof. Boyd has been with the
college quite a number of years
and his students have always
thought much of him. They have
too much respect for him not to
prepare his lessons. They admire
him for his firmness. After being
under him for four years we can
join all his students when they
say, “I think a heap of Prof.
Boyd.”
At the head of Latin and Greek
is Prof. Vickery. Prof. Vickery
has been teaching Latin and
Greek for some time. He thinks
much of his students because they
study his Latin and Greek with a
manly determination. If they do
this he is pleased with their work.
They, in turn, respect him very
highly for making them toe the
mark. We voice the sentiment of
all his Btudents when we say that
he has learned us how to study
Latin and we shall always remem- j
ber him for it too.
Miss Josia W. Clarke, who is at
the head of English, is surely a
faithful teacher and sympathetic j
with her students. She enjoys to 1
see those under her direc- 1
t.iou love literature for liter*
ature’s sake. If she has ac
complished this she thinks as ;
much of her student as any one ‘
ever did. She is very strict and
wins respect by being so. When
they first begin under her instruc
tions they think she is too thor
ough, but when they have finish-
and Tonic Pellets. The rib sfnvii * t
vtf ro> its proper \vorl< and the «• ■- mv ;

ed her work she line raised them
to a plane before unknown.
Prof. Charles W. Davis is in
charge of Agriculture. Prof. Da
vis has been here only one year
and the success lie lias made is ap
parently wonderful. We have on
ly been under his instruction for a
short while but we are convinced
that he is an excellent teacher.
Prof. Charles P. Hiller has
charge of the Business Depart
ment. Prof. Hiller deserves much
credit for the excellent results he
'has obtained by hard work.
Though we did not go to his de*
parturient we are sure of his splen
did ability as a teacher.
Prof. K. C. Moore has had
charge of History and Economics
for one term. His short'stay with
us has proven him to be a teacher
of excellent ability.
Prof. J. C. Barnes has assisted
in Mathematics for two years and
lie lias proven himself to lie a
splendid teacher.
Prof. J. S. Byers came in last
year aB assistant in English aud
Civics. Prof. Byers with his
scholarship is quite competent to
teach.
In conclusion, as we now leave
college, we extend to them, one
and all, a hand of respect and
reverence, surrendering to their
name the credit to whatever we
may be able to do.
J. F. Broach.
We have received a pamphlet
containing the pleading and argus
ment on behalf of N. A. Morris,
candidate for judge against Geo.
F. Gober, in the Blue Ridge cir
cuit, charging fraud in the late pri
mary, and must confess that it is
the rotteness affair we ever read.
By all means, let the next general
assembly change the present man
ner of electing judges and solici
tors.
CHALLENGE FROM Dr
C. IL JONES.
Offer to Refund Money if Dr.
Howard’s Specific Will Not
Cure Any Case of Consti
pation or Dyspepsia.
Dr. C. II, Jones is seeking the
worst case of dyspepsia 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
tins medicine at half price, 25 cents.
This specific of Dr Howard’s will
cure sick headache, dizzy feelings,
constipation, dispepsia, and all
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 the whole intestina' tract, give
you an appetite, make food taste
good and digest well, and increase
vigor. Jov and happiness will take
tlie place of that “don’t care wheth
er I live or die” feeling.
l ake advantage of Dr. Jones’
challenge and secure a bottle of Dr.
Howard's specific at half price,
with his personal guarani-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
of u scientific me i : uinc for their cure
like Dr. Howard's specific for the
small stun ul 25 ceui. .
Comptroller General Wright,
the cripple confederate soldier,
who has held this office for a num
ber of years, received the largest
vote cast in the last democratic
primary. Ills vote was 170,104.
It is not often that an old confed
erate yet. is forgotten when asking
for a favor of ibis kind for a state
house office, but sometimes when
one asks for a county office he is
left to take care of himself the best
he can.
