Attention Committeemen.
The Democratic committeemen of
each militia district are requested to
call the Democrats of their district
together for the purpose of selecting
a campaign committee, said cam
paign committee to consist of five or
more (in each district). Let this be
done before the first Saturday in
September, at which time all com
mittees will bo called to meet in Jef
ferson. J. N. Ross, Ch’n.
The readers of The Herald will
take notice that John N. Ross is re
sponsible for whatever may appear
editorially on this page of the paper
from this date till after the election
in October. He will endeavor to
put therein matter of a political na
ture. He does not call it Democratic
literature, or beg you to send it to
your neighbor. He simply tells
things as they are told to him, and
expresses his individual views on
subjects, and is responsible for the
same.
OUK NOMINEES.
Last week the Democratic party
of Jackson county, in primary elec
tion, nominated the ticket which ap
pears at the top of this column. The
voters have said this is a good ticket,
and so we say.
Holder and Hosch are enterpris
ing, industrious, progressive men,
who have an abiding interest in the
prosperity of our county and its
every citizen. Intellectual and capa
ble, they will, if elected, do honor to
the people who place them in legisla
tive seats.
Mr. Appleby of Harmony Grove,
candidate for clerk and treasurer, is
possessed of those qualities which
make an honest, faithful, reliable
officer.
Mr. Stevens, candidate for sheriff,
stands forth the peer of any man in
worldly reputation, for uprightness,
honesty and purity of character.
For deputy sheriff, Mr. Stevens
names happy, handsome Hugh M.
Appleby, whose smile carries a hearty
good will to everybody, and whose
hand is well adapted to business
Mr. Brock, candidate for tax col
lector, moves quietly as deep water,
commanding the respect of his
neighbor by his honorable demeanor
and business qualifications.
Mr. Moon, candidate for tax re
ceiver, brushes forth with an energy
that bespeaks qualification in accents
strong as the endorsement given by
his home district.
Mr. Pittman, candidate for sur
veyor, stands sturdy as the oak on
his convictions. Worthy, honorable
and well qualified, he will hew to the
line of right.
Mr. Johnson, candidate for coro
ner, bears into the arena the scars of
war and a record for hospitality,
courtesy and faithfulness to friends
and to duty.
PRETTY RACKS.
Jackson county never witnessed
two prettier contests than the races
(for nomination) in the late Demo
cratic primary for tax receiver and
tax collector. The contests were
conducted on a high plane and hon
orably. The party would have been
pleased with either of the contestants
as nominees. A choice had to be
made, however, and the result was
flattering to Messrs. McDonald and
Hancock, the defeated candidates—
they accept the verdict of the ballot
gracefully.
The men who can show that 8 and
4 is an improvement on primary elec
tions is now in demand. No objec
tion will be urged if they present
themselves in pairs.
AN AIMPICIOL'K OPBNIKO.
The Atlanta Journal has this to
say of the opening of the state Dem
ocratic campaign at Millcdgeville on
last Saturday:
“At Milledgeville last Saturday
Hon. Allen D. Candler opened the
state campaign in a speech that was
worthy of the Democratic candidate
for governor of Georgia.
“It was straightforward, manly,
sensible and full of Democratic fer
vor.
“Col. Candler knows how to talk
to the people. W T e believe his late
opponents for the Democratic guber
natorial nomination will admit this.
There is about the man an evident
sincerity of conviction and honesty
of purpose which give his words
force and effect. He holds in the
present campaign an enviable, but at
the same time a very responsible po
sition. By an overwhelming major
ity of his party he was called to be
its standard bearer in the state. He
was chosen over two able and wor
thy competitors and there is a popu
lar expectation that he will sweep
the state at the general election as
completely as he swept it in the pri
mary.
“That he will do so we have not
the slightest doubt. He has gone
into the campaign with a vigor which
characterizes him in all his under
takings. He will meet the people
of all parties in all parts of Georgia
face to face before the election in
October and will give them good
talk “straight from the shoulder.”
“In his speech last Saturday he
exposed and denounced in proper
terms some dirty methods which are
being used against him as the Dem
ocratic candidate and he will con
tinue to strike in the same sturdy
way.
“Allen D. Candler has all the ele
ments which Georgia needs in a
governor. He is already known to
the masses of the people, but before
this campaign is over they will know
him still better. Asa consequence
they will give him one of the great
est majorities, if not the very great
est, that any man ever received in
this state.
POfi’UJLIHT BKEAH IN TEN
NEMBEE.
When the Populist state executive
committee met in Tennessee on last
Thursday to complete its organiza
tion, a surprise was sprung in the
shape of the resignation of three
members, which left the committee
without a quorum, and the commit
tee adjourned until September the
Ist.
The members resigning are J. H.
McDowell, W. J. Flatt and T. J.
Ogilvie, and in the letter jointly they
say:
“Realizing the impossibility of
bringing about the returns for which
we have heretofore labored, with the
party in its present disintegrated
and disaffected condition, and hav
ing determined to support Hon. Ben
ton McMillin for governor of Ten
nessee, we feel that the honorable
course to pursue is first to resign,
and we hereby tender to you our
resignations.”
Mr. J. H. McDowell, who has been
the most influential Populist in Ten
nessee since the party’s organization,
and is one of Tennessee’s members
of the national Peoples Party com
mittee, says in explanation:
“The Populist party has abso
lutely no hope, because of the disin
tegration of its state and national
organization. The Democrats have
nominated a man for governor in
whom we have confidence. Both
his moral and political character are
above reproach. Just what he says
we believe he will do. We believe
his pledges of reform will be carried
out, and have the utmost confidence
in his ability and integrity. While
always vigorously opposing the Pop
ulists, he has treated us courteously,
and never abused us. Mr. McMillin
could have been nominated for gov
ernor at the time Buchanan was
nominated if he had consented to
run. He was offered the nomina
tion by those of us who afterwards
named Buchanan. So you see Mr.
McMillin was our choice eight years
ago. Ido not think Richardson, for
governor, will get over 2,000 or 3,000
votes if he stays on the track.”
CLASSIFY Til IM RUG.
Some boys once presented a pecu
liar bug to a college professor for
classification. It had the body of a
beetle, legs of a grass-hopper, wings
of a butter fly, and head of a dragon
fly. The professor declared it a hum
bug.
There is a class of politicians at
large in Georgia who can be classi
fied in no better way than the above.
They have clamored for silver 4nd
nominated Bryan on that platform,
then voted the Republican ticket.
They swear they will fuse with no
body, then fuse with everything in
sight. They don’t want office, but
never sought anything else in their
lives. They talk prohibition to dry
men, and drench wet ones with free
liquor. They condemn corruption
with their mouth, and practice what
they condemn. They want two
heads to their party, and have no
head at all.
Some people are inquiring what
has gone with that crop of “jint” de
baters and those great principles the
Populists used to discuss. Others
answer the Democrats have taken
the principles, and Pops can’t discuss
what they have not. They have a
leetle record now—won’t that do for
discussion?
NO PEACE IN KIUBT.
Fellow Democrats: Again we are
in the midst of a political battle, in
which neighbor is arrayed against
neighbor, friend against friend, and
relative against relative.
Democrats stand as they have ever
stood since the formation of this un
ion, giving, battle to all who see fit to
assail their party principles. For
six years we have witnessed in Geor
gia a fratricidal contest, which low
ered the dignity, if not the manhood,
of Georgia. During these six years
we have contended with a peculiar
opponent—one who claims to be a
Democrat of the old school, and yet
he unites with every foe to choke
down the party of our fathers. Con
cessions have been made to them
that we might have peace; but peace
is not in sight; we must fight it out.
If we must fight, let us fight like
honorable men. Though we call a
spade a spade, we should not allow
political zeal to lead us to defame the
reputation of an honorable opponent.
When warrior meets warrior, it is
with clash of steel; when manhood
meets manhood, ’tis face to face.
We should advocate the soundest
principles; we should practice the
fairest and purest methods, and sup
port our ablest and most worthy men.
Greed for office should not be per
mitted to lower our standard of man
hood. Right and reason has ever
held the ascendent of spite, spleen,
and envy in Democratic ranks, and
will ever hold it in patriotic breasts.
“Next to a fair friend we love a
bold foe.” Then let us hope that
our political opponents will come
“out in the open,” and give us a noble,
honorable battle.
The gentlemen who have office
hours at the court house are con
spicuously some where else. They
did not give us a list of their ap
pointments, but people do say they
are making patriotic speeches over
the county. We have heard nothing
of hash suppers or free licker thus far,
but what a tale of woe they do un
fold endeavoring to roll up that
boasted majority. We doubt if they
have any idea which gate that ma
jority wishes to enter. You had
better go into camps, gentlemen,
and advertise your dances. There
are others in the race.
Little Billie—Mamma, what does
8 and 4 mean?
Mamma—Ah, Billie, that is a Pop
ulist dozen.
Little Billie—A dozen what, ma?
Mamma—Child, I am busy, dear.
Don’t ask such questions. Go talk
to your pa.
There are now two tickets before
the people of Jackson county. One
nominated by the people, the other
called by the office—so they say.
Look at them, gentlemen, and say
who displayed best taste and judg
ment —the office, or the people.
A Populist for whom we have a
high regard bewails the poverty and
persecution that he endures for Pop
ulist principles. We can offer no
relief save a free ticket to the Demo
cratic band wagon.
Those who have not registered,
may do so by coming to Jefferson.
The books will close September 14th.
All should register at once.
“Go to work,” is the war cry of
our political opponents. Well, thaf
might help matters.
Political Notes.
Since the smoke of battle has
cleared away, with peace prospects
so bright, and the glory of our own
nation so magnificent, let us now
turn our minds from the field of
carnage and sea of blood, to the
things pertaining to civil rules at
home.
Yes, let’s leave the ultimatum of
affairs with our presiding diplomates,
trusting that international agree
ment will soon prevail, and the two
conflicting nations be restored to
their former place of friendly rela
tionship, and return to the home af
fairs that are demanding our atten
tion.
Jackson county isicalling for or
der and attention of her people.
Let’s be enthusiastic, but not reck
less. Let’s be proud, but not boast
ful. Let’s be united, but not selfish.
And last of all, let’s be Democrats,
and once more hoist the ensign of
prosperity and unity, and let it wave
aver a people who will be made to
rejoice for the restored “good old
times” that they once enjoyed, when
party conflict was unknown, and
every man pulled together for right
form of government, and for the ad
vancement of our county’s interests.
We have a tender feeling for our
Populist friends, for there are some
noble braves in the party’s ranks that
all admire. We believe that they
divorced themselves from Democracy
for a good motive, but no one has
failed to observe the failure of their
attempt to reform. Now, since an
opportunity has been given them to
bring prosperity back to us, the loss
of which they attribute to the Dem
ocratic party’s bad government, and
we find during their rule that no ad
vancment has been made, but that
depression upon us has grown even
greater, let us again rally around
those principles that have made us
what we are, and be true and united
again to build up self government.
Then shall we start the undulation
of prosperity that will sweep our
land.
Is it not true that the panic which
has been upon us since 1892, came
hand in hand with a revolting party
that made a desperate effort to sur
mount the success our country was
enjoying and plant anew party on

The executive committee met in Jefferson on August 18, 1898, and
consolidated the vote, and find the following parties receiving a majority
of the votes: For representatives, J. N. Holder and J. R. Hosch; For
clerk and treasurer, A. C. Appleby; For sheriff, W. T. Stevens; For tax
collector, A. H. Brock; For tax receiver, G. M. D. Moon; For surveyor,
C. O. Pittman; For coroner, L. J. Johnson. They are the nominees of
the Democratic party. J. N. ROSS, Ch’n.
W. W. JORDAN, Sec’y.
our riches? Is it not also true that
this mighty upheaval of dissatisfac
tion has had a demoralizing effect
especially upon the south? Then
let’s come together again and forge
Democracy to the front and show
to the masses once more that it is
the only party that can give them re
lief. We had good times all over the
south up to the time Populism spran g
into existence. Abolish this conten
tion, and prosperity is already here.
Jackson county is a Democratic
county when sounded at heart,which
fact shall be proven next October
when she announces her old place in
the Democratic column.
||The ticket adopted by the Demo
crats at the recent primary is a se
lection of the very strongest and best
men this country affords. They are
all honorable men, perfectly fair and
fearless in their dealings, competent
to manage the county’s affairs in a
most thorough and satisfactory man
ner. Give them your support, and
help tow the good old ship of state
once more into her harbor.
For our representatives in the
state legislature, we have the names
of two men who have won the
admiration of every one for their con
servatism and good judgement on all
public matters—Messrs. John N.
Holder of Jefferson and John R.
Hosch of Hoschton. Personal ac
quaintance with Mr Holder prompts
me to attest to his superb merit as a
legislator. He has always been found
promoting the interest of his county
by tireless and earnest labor. Public
opinion of the other gentleman, Mr.
Hosch, attests a man of much re
serve avd energy, and one who has
the good of his country at heart.
His acquaintance I have never en
joyed, yet I realize his influence and
true worth. If these gentlemen are
elected, old Jackson may congratulate
herself upon her good fortune.
To have the criminal charge of the
county in the hands of such men as
Wm. T. Stevens of Harrisburg and
H. M. Appleby of Cunningham dis
tricts, will be a boon to old Jackson
long to be felt. It goes without say
ing that these two gentlemen are two
of the county’s most popular and in
fluential eitizens. No doubt is en
tertained by the most sanguine men
but that these two men will be the
next jail officers in Jackson county.
It promises to be the prettiest and
most surprising scoop ever known in
the history of the county’s politics.
Then for clerk, we will have a man
who has the respect of every man,
both Democrat and Populist, in the
county, a man who stands spotless
before the people as a public officer —
Mr. Alvin C. Appleby of Harmony
Grove.
To complete the strongest ticket
could have been put in the field, we
have the names of Messrs. A. H.
Brock of Jefferson for tax collector,
and G. M. D. Moon of House district
for tax receiver, and C. O. Pittman
of Harrisburg district for surveyor,
and L. J. Johnson for coroner.
Observe the symmetry and strength
of the above ticket. Not a reproach
of any nature can be charged to a
single man composing it.
Eugene S. Whitehead.
HARMONY GROVE.
The tax collector, whose duty it is
to go over the county that the peo
ple may register in order to vote,
was nearly two hours late in reach
ing our town last Monday morning.
He was advertised to be at our town
from 7 till 11 a. m , and it only lacked
fifteen minutes till nine o’clock when
he came in town. After he came,
over 275 registered. As there are
more voters in this district than any
other in the county, our people cer
tainly think that Mr. Head onght to
come back some time, and at least
give us that two hours lost time, as
several from the country went home
thinking he would not come.
Ordinary T. F. Hill and Sheriff
Parks of Banks county, were in town
last Monday. They say they think
Banks will go Democratic by several
hundred this year.
Mr. C. J. Hood has gone to Den
ver, Colorado, to attend the United
States Bankers Convention.
Ex-Representative Z. W. Hood
was in town last Monday. He said
he registered some time in the
spring, but as he could not find his
name on the book, he had to regis
ter again.
Harmony Grove and Winterville
played three match games of base
ball here last week, and our boys
won all three of them. Mr. Charley
McCurdy of Maysville pitched a very
fine game for our boys on the second
day.
There is not an empty house in
town, and the other day there were
two persons in town wanting to rent
houses.
Prof. M. L. Parker says he has
very fine prospects this fall for a
large school.
The Richest Legacy.
A parent may leave an estate to
his son; but how soon may it be
mortgaged! He may leave him
money; but how soon it may be
squandered ! Better leave him a
sound constitution, habits of indus
try, an unblemished reputation, a
good education, and an inward ab
horance of vice in any shape or form;
Lr these cannot be wrested from
him, and are better than thousands
of gold and silver.
Costly raiment and gay equipage
cannot conceal ignorance, nor can
the garb of poverty hide wealth of
intellect.
If fathers and mothers thoroughly
understood that inherent force is all
that child or man possesses, that it
may be increased by cultivation and
diminished by passivity, no amount
of labor or sacrifice on their part
would be too great in order to sub
ject their children to the influences
that tend to strengthen an individual
activity. Education means the as
certainment and assimilation of truth.
Mere knowledge is worthless with
out the power to use it. The world
does not ask, “What do you know?”
but, “What can you do?” The
world does not conspire against a
man, but simply ignores him until he
finds a way to make himself of use
to it. Education enables us to domi
nate the conditions and circum
stances that surround us. Its object
is not to relieve man of the necessity
of toil, but rather increase hi3 capacity
for labor. God has not given us
lungs by which we can blow fleets
before us, and wings to sweep over
ocean waters; but He has given us a
mind, a soul, a capacity for acquiring
knowledge and appropriating the
energies of nature to our own use.
Instead of an eye to pierce the depths
of the universe, He has given the
power to invent the telescope and
microscope. Instead of ten thousand
fingers, He has given inventive gen
ius to construct the loom, and the
printing press. Education has en
abled us to lasso the lightning from
the skies, to harness it with wires
and send it galloping over the plains,
and to lead it captive to light our
homes and firesides. Education in
structs in the art of extracting health
giving properties from root, flower
and seed, enabling us to wrap in
utter unconciousness our nervous
filaments until we can resist like a
rock every arrow of pain. But to
enumerate the blessings of education
is to count the sands upon the sea
shore.
I trust the readers of this paper
have not tired of my frequent con
tributions to the cause of popular
education. I know that politics, re
ligion and other matters are upper
most just now in the popular mind.
But church nor political parties can
be kept pure by insane cries for pa
triotism if we neglect the sources
from which purity and patriotism
must come—the nursery and the
school room. The children are now
at home and at school, upon whose
shoulders the responsibilities of
church and state must soon rest.
Will the burden be too great for
them to bear? That depends very
much upon you, fathers and mothers,
and teachers, to whom God has
given the responsibility of rearing a
generation. It is a disgrace to us if
that generation does not become
wiser and better than ours. Nature
imposes no obstacle, Heaven imposes
none. ~
Much has been done in our homes
and schools for the young, much is
being done, and much more remains
to be accomplished. God bless our
homes and common schools. May
His choicest blessings rest upon
Martin Institute, that grand old
school, of which the writer of this
article is proud to be president.
No earl was ever prouder of his earl
dom. Great has been her usefulness
in the past, and greater still, let us
hope, must be her future. Care has
been exercised in the selection of a
new faculty, and from all over the
county come expressions of renewed
interest and. love for our dear old
school. Many parents, once pupils
here, will send us their boys and
girls this fall. We expect a full at
tendance.
Some people like to speak of Mar
tin Institute as “once a glorious
school.” It is a good one still. The
mill can never grind with the water
that is past, but there is more water
up the creek, and there’s a good
miller, though anew one, at the
hopper. The streams of patronage
ought naturally flow this way, and if
there are any extraneous obstruc
tions, help remove them.
Don’t talk too much about the
good old times, and too little of the
good time just ahead. Eden may be
lost, but Heaven is to gain. Don’t
get your face turned around where
the back of your head ought to be;
if you do, your chin may grow to
your back bone, and you will advance
backward.
With the patronage and support of
the good people of Jackson county,
this school is destined to long years
of usefulness. I believe we will have
it. Sincerely, Ebnest Neal.

WORSE THAN A COMMON “HOOK-BILL.”
There are people in the world
whom it would most kill if they were
not to try to look after and run every
body’s business. Why they do this,
we don’t know. They may think
they are better managers than any
one, or they are simply better suited
in every respect to attend to every
body’s business than the individuals
are themselves; and for the interest
they have in the welfare of humanity
in general, they take it upon them
selves to try to run ihe whole busi
ness.
If you want to know the latest
general news, they can tell you. If
you care to know who wrote some little
article in the “Johnnies column,” and
to whom it had reference, etc.,
they can tell you all about it, and
more besides. If you want to know
the latest love affair, family row,
scandal, or in fact “just any old
thing,” they can give it to you.
In addition to the above, we will
say these people who are “going
about doing much g od,” (“seeking
whom they may devour”) are not
only a bureau of general informa
tion, but they furnish you gossip free
on tap delivered at your door, and if
business is not too pressing, they
will bring it in your home, that will
make you not speak to your neigh
bor when you meet them on the
streets, if you pay any attention to
it.
If any of this should chance to
touch you, please don’t get mad with
us, because it is the truth, because
you made it—we didn’t. If it don’t
include you, and we don’t think it
does, all O. K.
THE SONG OF SONGS.
Two little girls In blue, lad.
Went out with Daisy Bell;
Nellie and May, sisters were they,
To Llnney Murphy’s daughter Nell.
I don’t want to play In your yard,
Her picture Is next to mine,
Maggie Mooney and Annie Rooney,
And the girl I left behind.
When summer comes again, lad,
There Is no place like home,
With the whistling coon and the man In the
moon,
Since mother’s dead and gone.
Awl tow’s plea for her son, lad,
What could the poor girl do?
There was never a minute this girl wasn’t In
it,
I couldn’t blame the girl, could you?
Mary had a little lamb,
The band played peek-aboo—
The old oaken bucket, took two to work It,
I’m a dandy, but 1 ain’t no dude,
There’s a tight up in window, lad,
By the steeple on the hill,
But the sweetest to me Is Kosey McGhee,
or her bright eyes haunt me still.
1 owe ten dollars to O’Grady,
I am the father of a little black coon,
Better than gold, will soon be two old
To be the popular tune.
I’ve gone to join the angels
With Nancy G’hancey’s beau,
What will you say, sweet Kitty Shea,
To a kiss behind the door?
I’ll be all smiles to-night,love,
Dear Robin, I’ll be true;
Maggie May and Nellie Gray,
Both take the Keeley cure.
Lay my head beneath the rose,
Over the garden wall;
Down went Mcuinty to see sweet Marie,
The pride of the ball.
Just tell ’em that you saw me,
In the cottage by the sea;
Poverty row and old black Joe
I will whistle and wait for Kat-le;
There’s only one girl in the world for me,
M y pearl Is the bowery girl;
You heard of the song of, oh uncle John,
But I’m cast aside with a whirl.
Note—Th first verse of above song Is sung
by the the tune of “Two Little Girls In Blue!"
The rest 18 sung to tune of chorus of same song
—very fast.—Atlanta Constitution.
Deafuess Cannot be Cured
By local applications, as they cannot reach the
diseased portion of the ear. There Is only one
way to cure deafness, and that is by constitu
tional remedies. Deafness Is caused by an In
flamed condition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. V. hen this tube gets Inflam
ed you have a rumbling Bound or Imperfect
hearing, and when It is entirely closed deafness
Is the result, and unless the Inflammation can
be taken out and this tube restored to Its nor
mal condition, heailDg will be destroyed for
ever, nine cases out of ten are caused by ca
tarrh, which Is nothing but an Inflamed condi
tion of the mucous surfaces
We will give One Hundred Dollars for any
case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that can
not be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for
circulars, free.
