Confident that he has discovered

its great merits kuowD, he will send
free, three bottles of medicine, to auj
reader of The Jackson Herald who
is suffering from chest, bronchia),

Already this “new scientific coarse

The Doctor considers it his relig

He has proved the dreaded con

Ihere will be no mistake in sending
—the mistake will be in overlooking

'JOHNNY APPLESEED."
A Unique And Tery Uaeful Character of
Piciieer Days.
Among the heroes of endurance
and of creative action was one man
whose name deserves to be perpetu
ated. He was “Johnny Appleeeed,”
by which name Jonathan Chapman
was known in every cabin on the
Ohio river to the northern lakes and
west to what is now Indiana. With
two canoes lashed together this in
trepid youth of 26 transported a load
of apple seeds to the western frontier
for the purpose of creating orchards.
He passed down the Ohio to Mariet
ta, ascending the Muskingum on up
ward to the head of navigation. A
long, hard voyage it was, for the
lone traveler stopped at every invit
ing place to plant his seeds.
His canoe voyage in 1806 appears
to have been the only occasion upon
which he adopted that method of
transportation, all subsequent jour
neys being made on foot. Securely
packed in leather bags the seeds
were sometimes conveyed on the
back of a horse and sometimes on
his own shoulders, when he would
often journey a distance of 150
miles. The frontiersman who felt
himself protected by his rifle against
wild beasts and hostile Indians
found it necessary to guard against
the insidious enemies in the grass
by wrapping bandages of dried grass
about his buckskin legging, but
Chapman would shoulder his bag of
seeds and with bare feet penetrate
to the remotest parts. Even in the
coldest weather he went barefoot,
but sometimes for long journeys he
would make himself a rude pair of
sandals. It seems to have been a
matter of conscience with him nevei
to purchase shoes, though he nevei
was without money.
One cold winter day he was trav
eling barefoot through the snow
when a settler forced the acceptance
of an old pair of shoes upon him. A
few days after the donor met John
ny contentedly plodding along with
his feet bare and half frozen. With
some anger 1m inquired into the
matter and learned that Johnny had
met a poor man who seemed to need
them more than he did, so he gave
them up.
He was very eccentric in dress,
wearing a garment made of a coffee
sack in which he cut holes for his
head and arms and pronounced it “a
very serviceable cloak, and as good
as any man need wear.” In the
matter of headgear his taste was
equally unique. His first experi
ment was a tin vessel that served
for his cooking, but this was open
to the objection that it did not pro
tect his eyes from the beams of the
sun, so he constructed a hat of
pasteboard, with an immense peak
in front, which became his perma
nent fashion.
During the war of 1812 Johnny
Appleseed continued his wanderings
and was never harmed by the bands
of hostile Indians, who regarded
him as a “great medicine man” on
account of his ecoentric dress and
actions.
For 4G years he devoted his life to
this self imposed mission, and died
a placid and beautiful death at the
age of? 2. Thus passed one of the
memorable men of pioneer times,
who never inflicted pain or knew
an enemy A self denying benefao
tor of ljis race, homeless, solitary
and ragged, he trod tho earth with
bleeding feet, intent only upon mak
ing the wilderness fruitful. His
deeds will last as long as the applet*
blossom, and the story of his life
will he a perpetual proof that true
heroism, pure benevolence and no
ble virtues that deserve immortality
may be found under the meanest
apparel.—Detroit Free Press.

DEVOTED TO JACKSON COUNTY AND THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY.
JEFFERSON, JACKSON COUNTY, GA., FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 2.1898.
BAZAINE’S MARRIAGES,
The Two Romantic Courtships of the ttsr
•hl of France.
In The Century there is an article
on ‘‘Maximilian's Empire” by Mrs.
Sara Y. Stevenson, who wasiu Mex
ico during the entire period of the
French intervention. Mrs. Steven
eon says of a romantic character in
French history:
General Bazaine was at this time
the most popular man in the army.
Hitherto eminently successful in all
his military undertakings, he bad
risen from the ranks, having won
bis honors tfep by step upon the
battlefield, af first by his courage,
later by his remarkable military
ability.
He was a plain looking man, short
and thickset, whose plebeian fea
tures one might search in vain for a
spark of genius or a ray of imagina
tion, and yet under the common
place exterior dwelt a kindly spirit,
an intelligence of no mean order,
and, despite a certain coarseness of
thought and expression too com
mon among Frenchmen, a soul upon
which the romance of life had im
pressed its mark iii lines of fire.
The story went that, when a colo
nel, he had in Spain come across a
little girl of great beauty and per
sonal attractions who seemed to
him out of place amid her surround
ings. He picked up the little wild
rose as it grew on the roadside and
conceived the notion of transplant
ing it into good, rich soil, and of
giving it its share of sunshine. He
took the child to Paris, where he
left her in a convent to be educated.
The soldier continued liis brilliant
career in the Crimea, Italy, Syria
and Africa, and when, after some
years, he returned to Paris he found
the little girl had grown into a
beautiful and attractive woman,
whose heart was full of warm grat
itude for her benefactor. He fell in
love with her,and, breaking through
all rules of French matrimonial
usage, married her.
Her charm won for her many
friends in tljo circle which liis posi
tion entitled her to enter, and her
death, which occurred under pecul
iarly distressing circumstances,
soon after Ins promotion to the
command of the army in Mexico, was
a cruel blow.
The news of her death reached the
general while away from the capital
on the brilliant campaign which
added the greater part of tlio coun
try to the projected empire (Novem
ber, 1863). After a funeral mass,
which he heard with his officers, he
retired to his tent, and, alone, fought
that hardest of all battles and con
quered bis own heart. In a few
days he returned to his duty, and
no one ever knew what had passed
in his innermost soul.
Two years later a ball was given
at the quartier general. Bazaine,
who had lately been promoted to
the rank of marshal (1864), had
stopped for a moment to say a few
words, when one of his guests, a
young Mexican girl who was waltz
ing by, suddenly stopped near us,
having torn her dress. Pins were
produced, the damaged ruffle was
repaired, and the girl passed on.
‘‘Who is it?” asked, tho marshal,
evidently much struck with her ap
pearance. “It is extraordinary,”
he muttered, “how much she re
minds me of my wife.” He looked
distrait, and shortly after excused
himself and wandered off in the di
rection Mile, de la Pena had taken.
The courtship was a short one,
Maximilian, in order to facilitate a
union which he deemed to bo in the
interest of his government, gave the
young girl as u dowry the palace of
San Cosine, valued at £lOO,OOO, and
thus was May united to December.
Two children were horn to the mar
shal, one of them in Mexico, and
never was father prouder of his
young wife and of her offspring than
was the marshal.
A Minister’s Wife.
A Toledo woman who hasn’t had
much experience with high diplo
matic folks and that kind of func
tionaries on her native heath went
to Washington last winter for a
month to thoroughly familiarize
herself with the usages of the best
society. During tho course of her
giddy whirl she struck the annual
charity ball—tickets, $2.50 per—and
while there one of the ladies dancing
attracted her especially.
“Who is that lady over there in
the corner now with the low' necked
dress on!’’she inquired of her chap
eron.
“It is the wife of one of the min
isters here,” her triend explained.
“You don’t say!” was the sur
prised response.
“Yes; there’s nothing unusual in
that. ”
“Well, well,” said the visitor cu
riously, “it’s a mighty queer place
for a preacher’s wife, now ain’t it!”
—Detroit Free Press.
Rose Again.
A story is told of a colored preach
er who was holding a meeting in a
large tobacco barn in a rural district
in Kentucky. An empty tobacco
hogshead was impressed into service
as an elevation upon which to stand
while delivering his discourse.
Warming up with his subject, he
soon became excited. Throwing his
arms into the air above his head and
elevating one foot, he exclaimed,
“De righteous shall rise and de wick
ed shall fall!” At the word “fall”
he brought his foot down vehement
ly upon the head of the hogshead,
and, like a flash, it gave way, and
he dropped out of sight, being short
of stature. Amid the precipitated up
roar he reached up and grasped the
chime of the barrel and drew him
self into view,shouting, “Bress God.
dey shall rise again I”—New York
Tribune.
A TALE OF AUTHORS.
Kksine Links Which You May or May
Not Be Able to Supply,
A brave and hardy yeoman had
been riding slowly over the plain
anti through the autumnal ,
whose leaves of red, yellow and
were drifting slowly to the earth,
covering the grunting in his
wallow and frightening the timid
■ that was bleating for its moth
er. It was nearing evening and
the eim was hidden by a huge
cloud, whose vivid lightning portend
ed a storm. An icy wind from the
made him shiver in spite of his
thick clothing. He began looking
fora place of shelter when he saw
coming a floury coated —> —. and a
portly —— who ruled over a neigh
boring monastery. The three trav
elers greeted each other courteously
and passed on in friendly converse.
The dainty and delicate church
man complained louder that, “The
hot sun my face fearfully. In
deed it is it so that my com
plexion is nearly ruined.”
It now began to rain and they
conmienoed to —— in earnest for
shelter. They had begun to despair
when they reached a modest cottage
in the woodland. The peasant own
er of it made them welcome and sent
them up into the of the house
to change their wet clothing. The
apartment seemed to be a general
storeroom for odds and ends of all
kinds. From the rafters hung huge
flitches of strings of dried ap
ples, and collections of seeds of va
rious kinds. In one corner were a
dozen of grain.
The churchman picked up a book
and began to it, but soon threw
it down with the remark that if he
were the or even one of his car
dinals he would burn the heretical
author of it. Neither of his com
panions was listening to him, for the
voices of the people below stairs
could bo heard. The man remarked,
‘We must kill the old , but it
will be awfully lonesome without
him around the house.”
His further remarks were inaudi
ble for the and barks of the
dug drowned his voice. The woman
was not to he outsqualled and her
voice rose clear and triumphant as
she asked, “How will you kill him?
Won't wringing his neck him?”
“No —than if 1 put the knife in
to his breast and cut his out,”
he answered sadly. “I’m afraid they
ure hearty eaters, his reverence is a
of a big man.” “Yes, he is fat
ter hut he is not such a as the
other tw’o.” “My sister says they
all drink lots of wine. She gave me
her word that his reverence is . ”
“Your sister’s not so much as
you think for,” he said sneeringly.
“We must satisfy them if possible,”
she said, trying to change the sub
ject. “If it keeps on raining, we
will have to keep them all night. I
guess we can them away some
where.”
The travelers were just sitting
down to dine when the setting sun
broke out from behind the clouds.
The churchman clapped his hands
like a —•— as he cried out, “We can
all go to our or, as the Indian
would say, each to his own
The storm was indeed over and soon
the peasant and his wife were alone
dining on the meal prepared for
their guests.—Kansas City Star.
The Number of Languages.
The least learned are aware that
there are many languages in the
world, but the actual number ifl
probably beyond the dreams of or*
dinary people. The geographer
Baldi enumerated 860 which are en
titled to be considered as distinct
languages and 5,000 which may be
regarded as dialects.
Adulguns, another modern writer
on this subjeot, reckons up 3,064 lan
guages and dialects existing and
which have existed. Even after we
have allowed either of these as the
number of languages we must ac
knowledge the existence of almost
infinite minor diversities, for almost
every province has a tongue more
or less peculiar, and this we may
well believe to be the oase through
out the world at large.
It is said there are little islands
lying close together in the south
seas the iuhabitants of which do not
understand each other.
Of the 860 distinct languages
enumerated by Baldi 89 belong to
Europe, 114 to Africa, 123 to Asia,
417 to America and 117 to Ooeania,
by which term he distinguishes the
vast number of islands stretching
between Hindustan and South
America.
The Wage Question.
A young colored philosopher was
employed in one of our stores at a
salary of $3.50 a week. He told his
employer one morning that he was
going to leave, having got a better
place.
“A better place?” echoed his em
ployer. “What wages are you to
get?”
“Three dollars a week.”
“But that is not as much aa you
get here.”
“No,” said the boy, “but then it’s
better to do less and not get so much
than to do more and not got
enough.”—Boston Transcript.
Clarified Apples.
Pare and core the desired quantity
of small, rather sweet apples; weigh
and to each pound allow a pound of
sugar. Put the sugar, with just a
little water, over the tire; boil and

juice to each 2 pounds of sugar. Put
the apples into the hot sirup; allow
them to stand over the back part of
the stove until they are perfectly
tender and transparent. Drain, dust

THE POPULISTS
FLOCKING BACK.
Letter From Robert Donghtery, a
Prominent Third Party Leader.
The mail of Chairman dußignon,
of the Democratic state committee,
is heavy with letters from all parts
of the state notifying him of the re
turn of the Populists to straight De
mocracy, and the one hundred thous
and majority which was predicted
for Colonel Allen D. Candler even
before he was nominated seems to be
already in sight. It was Colonel
Candler who, in his direct and homely
fashion, pointed out to the Third
party men in his speech at Milledge
ville the conditions which confronted
the people of the state, and he sound
ed a key note that has echoed and
re-echoed from Dade to Tybee light.
When he said that it was only within
the Democratic ranks, and not out
side of them, that real reforms could
be accomplished in the state govern
ment he spoke a truism that others
have spoken before, but which it
seems to have taken the Populists
several years to take good hold of.
Among those who have returned
to the Democratic fold are many who
have been prominent in the councils
of the Third party, and it is said that
others who do not wish to openly
announce their position will, none
the less, vote for Colonel Candler on
election day. Colonel Robert
Doughtery, of Lindale, Ga., whose
name was misspelled when it was
first announced that a well-known
Populist in the Seventh congress
ional district had come out for Can
dler, and whose identity the Peoples
Party Paper challenged, has written
a letter to the Constitution, in which
he states his own position clearly,
and there is no doubt that it reflects
the views of many others who have
taken a similar stand. In fact,
Chairman dußignon has received a
great many communications couched
in language equally plain and em
phatic, and to the same purpose.
Mr. Doughtery’s letter in full is as
follows:
“I saw the typographical error in
your issue of the 13th, and notice
what you say in yesterday’s paper
under the head of ‘Mr. Watson’s
Mistake,’ and am sure when he reads
your correction he will remember me
as chairman of the Populist executive
committee, chairman of two of the
three congressional conventions the
party has held in the district since
its birth, and as a Populist, always
opposed to political cranks and dead
beats who on all occasions sought to
engraft their isms on the platforms
of the party, thereby destroying all
or at least a great portion of the good
they might contain, and producing
nothing but discord and ridicule—
the two hardest obstacles for anew
political party to overcome.
“But enough of Mr. Watson, his
party, his official organ and me. The
beginning of a great change in Geor
gia politics is now on hand. The
people—not the politicians—started
the move, and in this state campaign
we may look for a joining of forces,
under the flag of the old party, that
can now redress our wrongs or
guard our interests; reunite that
party in Georgia, and elect (in Octo
ber) for governor and statehouse
officers men who have always stood
squarely by the land marks of true
Democracy, whose political charac
ters are above reproach. The people
have the utmost confidence in the
ability and integrity of each and all,
and believe their pledges of reform
will be carried out, and (when elect
ed) will give the state a clean, hon
est, economic, business administra
tion.
“Again, a large majority of Geor
gia Populists are, and always have
been, simply Democrats disgusted
with the methods and betrayals of
self-constituted leaders, were never
untrue to Democracy, but to Cleve
landism, and left the party because
of that. We could not, nor would
not, go into the Republican ranks,
and when (in 1896) the Democratic
party at its last national convention
formulated a platform and nominated
a candidate who (we believed) would
construe it in the interest of the
country, and not in the interest of
the money loaners of the world, and
who would not betray any principle
or part of it—then hundreds of us
came back to the party, and hun
dreds more will return now to help
carry the principles of that platform
to victory under the leadership of
the Hon. Allen D. Candler, and at
the same time solidify the only party
that has any chance to win in 1900
in the fight between the people and
the money power of this republic.
“But all Democrats should remem
ber the adage, that ‘opportunity
comes once to all,’ and that opportu
nity and the Democratic party now
stand face to face. Also should they
remember the saying that there are
two gates that have never been
known to swing shut on their hinges,
namely, the gates of the Democratic
party and those of that kingdom of
soot, sorrow, and vain regrets, and
they should now always keep the
gates of the party wide open, offer
every inducement for all to return,
and hundreds of the rank and file
will come—come to stay, as long as
Georgia Democracy stands squarely
on the Chicago platform and nomi
nates such men as they now have to
lead them.”—Atlanta Constitution.
Prodigals Returning.
The Populist party is going to
pieces in Tennessee as it is every
where else. It has not even “the
cohesive power of public plunder”
to hold it together. A few days ago
three of the most prominent mem
bers of the Populist state executive
committee of Tennessee, namely,
Messrs. J. H. McDowell, T. J. Ogil
vie, and W. J. Flabt, published a
card in which they state that “re
alizing the impossibility of bringing
about the reforms for which we have
heretofore labored with the party in
its present disintegrated and disaf
fected condition,we have determined
to support the Hon. Benton McMil
lin for governor.”
The Populist leaders who have
taken this stand and who will carry
thousands with them have acted like
sensible men and true patriots. They
realize, as all men who think must
realize, that the only choice in Ten
nessee or in any other state is be
tween the rule of the Democratic or
the Republican party. The Popu
list party is a mere show. It has
less excuse for being than ever any
party had is this country. In the
south it has taken hundreds of
thousands of men from the Demo
cratic party and in the west it has
made even greater ravages upon the
Republican party. And the last
party of all these seceders was worst
than the first.
Benjamin H. Hill in his great
speech exposing the treachery of
Mahone, declared that there are only
two parties in this country and that
where a man leaves one he gravitates
toward the other. This is true as
gospel. A man may not have any
party. He may be an independent
in politics and there is much to be
said for men who hold themselves
bound by no party ties, but if a man
chooses to be a partison in this coun
try he must be either a Democrat or
a Republican or a bump on the polit
ical log. This great truth is becom
ing clearer every day. It has been
discerned by the three eminent Ten
nessee Populists to whom we have
referred, and in its light they are
walking to better ways. It is being
recognized and blessed every day
by men long gone astray into the
mist and mire of Populism but who
have never gotten beyond the reach
of saving grace. The leader of the
Democratic party of Georgia in the
present campaign is a wise man and
knows how to win back the straying
prodigals. He has already been ef
fective in this work, and when the
100,000 majority for Allen D. Can
dler comes to be counted among the
ballots that made it will be found
thousands and thousands which were
cast by men who for years have been
in open array against the Democratic
party.—Atlanta Journal.

to ask a division of time. Colonel
Candler replied that he would be
glad to accommodate his former op
ponent for Congressional honors, and
requested that he be on hand
promptly. At the appointed hour
for the speaking to begin Colonel
Candler ascended the speaker’s plat
form which was surrounded by a
large crowd of Democrats and Pop
ulists. Mr. Pickett was not pres
ent, and Colonel Candler waited
twenty minutes for him to put in
appearance. Failing to come, a
messenger was dispatched to Mr.
Pickett’s hotel to inform him Colonel
Candler was waiting. Mr. Pickett
asked for what, and the messenger
replied “to give you a division of
time.” Mr. Pickett stated he didn’t
want any time, and that he was go
ing to dinner. Colonel Candler be
ing informed of this, proceeded with
his speech, and was getting there in
a hallelujah way when the Populist
sheriff announced from the court
house that “Rev. Thaddeus Pickett
will speak to the people in the supe
rior court room.” This did not dis
turb Colonel Candler or his audience
but added zest to his great Demo
cratic speech, and the crowd stayed
with him and listened attentively.
Mr. Pickett tried to hold forth in
the court room, but for the lack of
an audience could not arouse any
enthusiasm.
Forsyth county has been treated
to lots of Democratic doctrine this
week. Senator A. S. Clay spoke
there Monday, Colonel Candler spoke
Tuesday, and Congressman Carter
Tate stirred the boys up with a
speech Wednesday. Mr. Pickett’s
flash at Colonel Candler Tuesday
hurt the Populist cause in Forsyth,
without a doubt. —Georgia Cracker.
VOLUNTEERS FOR
THE CAMPAIGN.
Prominent Democrats Tender Service®
to State Committee.
The s cond day of the Democratic
campaign was a busy one at the
headquarters of the state committee
in the Kimball house, and Chairman
dußignon had no leisure while he
was iu his office. Prominent Demo
crats throughout the state are send
ing in letters or calling in person to
volunteer their services on the stump
or eLe where during the campaign,
and there is scarcely one who has
not in some way indicated not only
his willingness, but his anxiety, to
serve the party in whatever capacity
the committee may elect to place
him. Already the list of accepted
speakers is a long one, and includes
not only United States Senators Ba
con and Clay, but every one of the
eleven members of congress in the
state. It begins to look as though
the Democratic volunteers in Geor
gia’s political fight, like the volun
teers who responded to President
McKinley’s call, would exceed the
demand.
General Clement A. Evans, who is
one of the nnmber selected, called at
the headquarters yesterday and re
ported for duty. He told Chairman
dußignon that he was ready to go
anywhere at any time, and expressed
his gratification when he was told
that early appointments were already
being made for him. Congressman
Charley Adamson, of the Fourth dis
trict, also dropped in on the same
errand, and received the same re
sponse. Hon. H. W. J. Ham called
to say that he wanted to enlist, and
he staid in the headquarters all the
afternoon shaking hands and chatting
with his many old friends among the
visitors. In truth, there was a sort
of Democratic love feast in the chair
man’s private office, and at one time
it was almost uncomfortably crowd
ed.—Atlanta Constitution.
The editor of the Irwinton Bulletin
print this: “Col. Hogan, the man who
thinks he is running for governor,
says that he can plow as straight a
row as Col. Candler can. Well, that’s
nothing; we have an old bow-legged
colored woman in this county, 75
years old, who can beat CoL Candler
running a straight corn row, but she,
like Col. Hogan, lacks a devil of a
sight of being qualified to be the
governor of Georgia.”
