That excursion to Atlanta which
was advertised in The Herald last

by nine wide, and is supposed to be
an Indian pipe. It is quite a curi

can do so by calling at this office.

were well pleased with the debate.
grand rally AT hoschton.
Colonel Charlie Brand Expounds Deni
ocratie Doctrine.
Colonel Charles H. Brand, of Gwin
nett county, addressed the people of
Jackson county last Tuesday, at II
o clock, at Hoschton, upon the politi
cal issues of the day.
By the appointed time the Demo
crats of the surrounding country had
assembled in the grove in rear of the
Institute, where a platform and arbor
had been erected. There were pro
fuse decorations about the stand,
made beautiful by the fair ladies of
Hoschton.
The Populists were represented by
several of their party, who had come
out to hear pure, old time Democratic
doctrine preached—something they
had not been accustomed to hearing
from their orators. A good many
ladies were present; also, a large
number of colored people. The mer
chants closed their doors and were on
hand to lend their aid and presence.
Mr. Brand made a clean-cut, pre
cise exposition of Democratic princi
ples ; refuted the charges made by
the Populists that the Democratic
Representatives had proved them
selves traitors to the people ; proved
by the records that our members in
the House and in the Senate had done
everything in their power to relieve
the people ; that they bad been true
to every pledge made, and still de
served the confidence of the people.
He also quoted from the Record four
bills, introduced by Populists in Con
gress, which, if enacted into laws,
would bankrupt the country and send
us all to the poor house. He said
that the acts of Populist represents
tives and the writings of Populist ed
itors could be construed into an er
dorsement of anarchy, and that some
of the things for which they contended
would utterly destroy our beloved
land.
He appealed to the colored people
present to vote with the party that
had been their beet friend since the
war. He showed them what the State
government had done for them, they
paying only sl9 000 tax and receiving
$430,000 to school their children.
He appealed to the soldiers and
sons of soldiers, whose mothers are
now widows, to stand true to the
parly that has provided pensions to
the amount of nearly $400,000 an
nually.
In conclusion, he paid a glowing
tribute to the ladies present, and said
if the women of this country could
control the ballot-box they would bury
Third party ism so deep that it could
never be resurrected.
Excellent music was furnished by
the colored brass band of Hoschton,
and eveiybody, especially the Demo
crats, ladies and colored people, en
joyed the occasion hugely.
Joint Discussion.
A j fint debate between the Demo
crats and Populists took plsce at the
Institute chapel at Winder on last
Friday evening.
J. N. Holder opened the debate in
a thirty miuutes talk, oiid was follow
ed by candidate T witty in a speech of
forty five minutes. J. N. R >ss follow
ed the redoutable Congressional aspi
rant in a forty five ruinutes speech.
Then came Candidate MabafL-y, who
sp< ke forty five minutes in behalf of
Populism. W. P. Boggs closed the
debate in a fifteen minutes speech.
In several points the Populists
were shown where they are wrong,
and admitted it, and the Democrats
successfully controverted every charge
brought against the Democratic party
and clearly pictured to the people the
Populist inconsistencies.
All the speeches, on both sides,
were free from personalism and abuse.
The Reason Why.
Editor Herald :—ln answer to the
question of “Confederate, in your
last isssue, asking why the Jackson
county Confederate veterans did not
hold their usual county reunion this
year, I have this to say : I was unde?
the impression (until too late to take
any action in the matter of an annual
reunion for 1894) that the Post of
United Confederate Veterans, organ
ized in the county last September,
was to succeed the Jackson County i
Confederate Veterans Association, of
w hich I was president, and the latter,
as an organization, did not now exist
at all, and, being under this impres
sion, of course I thought my authority
in the premises at an end, and hence
took no action in the matter whatever.
If I have acted under a wrong impres
sion in the matter, and the old organ
ization still exists so far as county re
unions are concerned, I will hereafter
take great pleasure in calling the old
veterans together and doing all in my
power to make their annual reunions
a success, as heretofore.
Respectfully,
A. T. Bennett.

ANOTHER LANDMARK REMOVER.
One of Jackson County’s Most Promi
nent (itizens Passeth Away. *
Mr. M. J. C. Slathan., the Naatox
of the pretty little town of • Statham,
is dead.
He died last Sunday, after an ill
ness of several weeks.
For many years he has been passed
life’s meridian, and was traveling
along beyond the summit.
No doubt, just as he was nearing
hiß j mrney’s end, on last Sabbath,
and as the sun was shedding his rays
of gold about him, he drew the
drapery of his couch closely around
him and closed his eyes in solemn
death, feeling happy and contented
with his labors here^elow.
Just before the curtain closed on
the last scene, no doubt he took a re
trospect of his life, mißgled with all
its solicitudes, beatitudes and trials.
As his deathly, but pensive eye gazed
out on verdant nature, and as he
caught the glimpse of business struc
tures and dwellings about him, no
doubt he thought of those bv-gone
days when he was the only inhabitant
of the now beautiful villa. He thought
of the large hickories, on whose limbs
the nimble squirrel would play in the
mellow morning sunlight; he thought
of the tall pines and stately oaks tow
ering their heads upward as if monu
ments to the great handiwork of na
ture. As he gazed at the great engine
rushing headlong through the country
his mind reverted to the time when
there was no sound to disturb the
solitude and silence of the hour save
the voice of the owl, the whistle of the
whippoorwill or the wild shriek of the
midnight varmint.
Mr. Statham lived to see the forest
transformed into a busy place of trade.
As his eyes closed in death he could
feel satisfied that, in his own humble
way, he had been useful—useful to
his county, useful to his community,
useful to his neighbors and friends,
useful to his family and upeful to him
self. He is dead, but the name of
Statham surviveth him and will go
down to posterity for generations to
come.
Mr. Statham had his faults; but
every man has faults. Mr. Statham
had some enemies, but many friends.
He suffered many trials and tribula
tions, but such things come in every
one’s life.
He reared a large family, and was
devoted to his wife and children. Ho
was a member of church.
He was about years of age at
the time of his death.
He leaves a large number of rela
tives in Santa Fe district who will
shed tears of sorrow over his demise.

A SAD DEATH.
Mr. I). A. Hopkins, of Dry Poasl, Dies
Suddenly.
Ou la3i Friday morning tLI; entire
community was grief stricken by the
announcement of the death of Mr. D.
A. Hopkins. His death was very un
expected, and his many friends, to
gether with his family, share the loss
of one of the best men of Jackson
county.
There is a hidden mystery about
his death that is known only to him
and his God. On Thursday night he
told his good wife that he would not
live long, and that his death would be
sudden, and that he had no fears of
death, only he hated to leave her and
the children.
Friday morning he was enjoying
his usual good health, and had com
menced to rob a bee-gum. After lift
ing out a bucket full of honey and
handing to his wife, who was stand
ing near by, he asked for a plate, and
she handed it to him. He at once
reached it back and said, “I am
gone!” and fell to the ground,. and
breathed only a few times. Medical
aid was at once called in, but too late,
for that immortal spirit had winged
its way to the God who gave it, and
only that which was mortal remained.
How touching the scene! He stands
with hands full of dripping honey,
which he holds out to his wife. It makes
a picture worthy of the greatest artist.
“I am gone!” was his last note of
triumph, and to-day he is with God
and his hands filled with sweetness
and consolation. To me the compari
s n seemß wonderfully apt and sug
gestive. Cany the honey of kindness
in your hands; though it drip all
around, no hurt will come of the spill
ing. There are always little ones
waiting for such drops. Mr. Hopkins
had can i 1 the honey of kindness in
his hands from childhood to the day
of his death, and everybody that knew
him had learned to love and respect
him.
A large concourse of people were
present to witness the interment,
which occurred Saturday morning, at
11 o’clock, at the Oconee Baptist
church.
Mr. Hopkins was one of the best
citizens of this oounty, a loving hus
band, a faithful companion, a devoted
Christian, and leaves a stainless record.
E. Morgan.
Dry Pond, Ga., July 30, '94.
DRY ROND,
The Union meeting held with the
Oconee Baptist church Friday, Satur
day and Sunday was well represented
from all sections of the county.
Among the delegation from Jefferson
was one pair of No. 14 shoes. Guess
whose feet were in them.
A protracted meeting is being car
ried on at the Oconee Baptist church
by Rev. J. J. Bennett and others.
The meeting will probably last all
the week, and it is hoped that much
good will be accomplished.
The death of Mr. D. A. Hopkins
was a shocking surprise to his many
friends. The burial services were
largely attended. The funeral was
preached by Rev. J. J. Bennett, and
it was indeed a masterly sermon.
Mr. J. O. Stockton has registered
his name on the page of shrewd de
tectives. By his diligent search and
wise manipulation, he succeeded in
arresting the two negroes that broke
into his house. They confessed their
guilt and are now locked up, awaiting
the decision of the court.
Watermelons seem to be the order
of the day. But the fellow that
hasn’t a patch is in a pickle, for his
neighbor’s melons are not ripe.
If Mr. “L” finds another tree up
in the mountains of extreme North
east Georgia as loDg and as large as
those he tells us about in his last let
ter to The Her'ld, I’ll take pleasure
in calling his attention to a few
smaller trees in the same “milk sick’
cove. Now, Mr. Editor, I know
every branch, cove and saplin in that
entire country. I even know what
side of every tree the bark is on. I
have chased fox, coons, squirrels and
other small insects all over those
mountains, and have never found a
tree so large that I had to go on the
opposite side of the mountain in order
to pass the tret*.

THE FIRE FIEND.
I he South Corner of (he Pnblie S<jnarc
Swept Away.
moning, about 1
o clock, the people of our quiet little
town were awakened by cries of fire,
and soon it was found that the dwel
ling, known as the old Billy Thompson
place, occupied by Mr. E. M. Thomp
son, was in flames. Everything pos
sible was done to save the building,
but, being old and dry, it burned so
rapidly that all efforts to save it were
in vain. Soon the flames spread to
the Thompson corner, occupied by
Mr. S. A. Johnson, and that, too, was
in a short time a falling mass of rums.
The law offices of Colonels Pike and
Langston were next found to be burn
ing, and from here the flames epread
to the house occupied by Mrs. Jen
nie Anthony, burning both buildings
to the ground.
The tire originated from a box of
ashes on the back veranda of Mr. E.
M. Thompson’s house, and, had
everything not been so dry, the build
ing might have been saved.
Everything belonging to Mrs. An
thony and Colonel Pike’s law office
were saved, but, while Messrs.
Thompson and Johnson saved a
greater part of their furnature and
household goods, yet many things
were burned.
At one time it was thought that the
hotel just across the street would also
be consumed, but, by faithful work
with wet blankets and quilts, it was
saved.
The burned buildings belonged to
Dr. J. B. Pendergrass and Messrs. AY.
I. Pike and J. E. Randolph.
Estimated loss about $2,500,
covered by about SI,GOO insurance.

We have been called upon to draft resolutions
In memory of our friend and brother, C. S. Hill,
who was born May 12th, 1828, and departed this
life July 23d, 1894, aged sixty-six years, two
months and eleven days. He was born and
raised In Jckson county, and was burled at his
father’s old home, near center mil, with Ma
sonic honors, July 24th, by his lodge and breth
ren, with the esteemed friend and brother, John
Adams, of Walton county, officiating. He was
made a member of Rockwell Lodge September
26th, 1863, and Joined the Royal Arch Chapter in
April, 1865. He was a great lover of Masonry,
and we hope he Is now In the Golden City, at
tending his Father’s business He was not
afraid to die; in his last days he desired to de
part, which, Paul says, Is far better. Brother
Hill was a good neighbor. We have often
thought that he was too liberal. Yet, he did
not die for the want of bread. “Among the
righteous there is favor.’" In 1862 he shoulder
ed his musket and marched to the front under
that great and daring General, John Morgan, of
Kentucky. He was not In the service long be
fore he lost his left hand, leaving him to light
this rugged road of life with orlv one hand,
which he did with honor to himself, family and
fraternity. Old Rockwell’s bright lights are
going home, “not by might, nor by power, but
by spirit, salth the Lord.” To show his charity
further, he was a member of the Unlversallst
church, a strict religion to live by and a liberal
one to die by.
To the bereaved widow and family we have to
say that the great I Am, who has arid “the
cattle upon a thousand hills Is mine, the gold Is
mine, all is mine,” will not let His children suf
fer more than Is best for them and to His honor,
If we will only keep Ills commandments and do
His will, as laid down In the great Book of
Rooks. He doeth great wonders through His
sheep that hear Hls voice “My sheep hear my
voice.”
Resolved, That Rockwell Lodge be draped In
mourning for thirty days.
Resolved, That The Jackson Hkrai.d be re
quested to publish and send a copy to the fam
ily of the deceased.
Resolved, That the Secretary of Rockwell
Lodge be requested to make a record of this on
the minute book.

Inveslig'ation Invited.
Of course it is proper to inquire, about
what any man says, Is it true?
The most rigid investigation is invited
into the testimonials published in behalf
of Hood's Sarsaparilla. Special attention
is called to the high character of the per
sons whose testimonials are published by
the proprietors of this medicine, as evi
denced by their occupations or indorse
ments. In fact.’no matter where a testi
monial in behalf of Hood’s Sarsaparilla
may be from, it is reliable and as worthy
of confidence as if it came from your
most trusted neighbor.

down with Pneumonia succeeding La Grippe.
Terrible paroxysms of coughing would last
hours with little Interruption ana It seemed as
If she could not survive them. A friend recom
mended Dr. King’s New Discovery. It was
quick In Its work and highly satisfactory in

Mkssrs. Lipfman Bros., Savannah, Ga.
Gents—l’ve used nearly four bottles of P.P.P.
I was afflicted from the crown of my head to
the soles of my feet. Your P. P. p. has cured
difficulty of breathing and smothering, pa'plta
tlon of the heart, and relieved me of all pain:
one nostril was closed for ten years, now I can
breathe through It readily.
I have not slept on either side for two years,
In fact, dreaded to see night come, now I sleep
soundly In any position all night.
I am 59 years old, but expect soon to be able
to take hold of the plow handles; I feel proud I
was lucky enough to get P. P. P., and I heartily
recommend It to my friends and the pub ic
generally. Yours Respectfully,
A. M. RAMSEY.

Before the undersigned authority on thlsday,
personally appeared A. M. Ramsey, who, after
being duly sworn, says on oath that the fore
going statement made by him relative to the
virtue of P. P. P. medicine Is true.
