Democratic Ticket.
For 56th Congress, 9th Ga. Dist.,
' F. C. TATE.
NOVEMBER ELECTION.
The election for congressman of
the Ninth district will be on Tues
day after the first Monday in Novem
ber, and not the first Tuesday—as
some think. The month of Novem
ber comes in on Tuesday this year,
so the election will be on the Bth of
November—one week from next
Tuesday.
Every Democrat should go to the
polls on that day and cast his vote
for Hon. Farish Carter Tate. And
no doubt there are many Populists
in the county who will do the same
thing—we believe so, at any rate.
Mr. Brooke, the Populist nominee,
is not known to our people at all, and
has not the least hope of being
elected. On the other hand, Carter
Tate is liked by everybody, and has
made the Ninth district a good rep
resentative. He may not be so elo
quent as a Bryan, but he has a cool,
clear head, and is always in his place
looking after the interests of his con
stituents. He is well thought of in
Washington, and has considerable
influence among the congressmen.
Don’t forget the day—the Bth of
November, and everybody come out
and vote.
THE LRUINIiATI'RE CONVENES*
The legislative halls of the state
capitol were thrown open Wednesday
morning, and once more the Geor
gia legislature is in session.
A meeting of the Democratic mem
bers of the senate and house of rep
resentatives was called in the hall of
the house at 9 o’clock to determine
whether there should be a caucus for
the nomination of officers to be
elected by the general assembly. At
this meeting, the motion to hold a
caucus, excluding all but Democrats,
was passed.
At 12 o’clock the two houses con
vened in their respective cambers and
effected organization. Immediately
Hon. W. A. Dodson of Sumpter was
elected president of the senate, and
Hon. C. S. Northen of Fulton secre
tary. Hon. Render Terrell of Meri
wether was elected president pro tern.
In the house Hon. John D. Little
of Muscogee was elected speaker,and
Hon. A. O. Blalock of Fayette speak
er pro tern. Hon. J. T. Boifeuiilet
of Bibb won the race for clerk J.H.
\V Uliford of Fayette, a one-legged
soldier, was made doorkeeper. F. M.
Durham of Bartow was elected mes
senger of the house.
It was two o’clock when the joint
committee left to notify the governor
that the legislature was ready for
business. Immediately afterwards,
the house adjourned for the day.
This legislature has more new
members than any legislature that
has assembled in recent years. The
members are of all ages from 23 to
three score and ten, but the propor
tion of gray hairs is very large. Both
houses are well frosted and seasoned
and may naturally be expected to
show conservatism.
There were eight ministers in the
last legislature and three in this.
There are also fewer lawyers, and
more merchants and farmers. Last
time there was one negro—Law, of
Liberty—and now there are none.
Last time there was a minority of 44;
now the minority, including independ
ent Democrats,is 11. There wasone
ex-governor in the last legislature,
and there are three ex-congressmen
in this one. Two-thirds of both
houses are absolutely new to legisla
tive service.—Atlanta Constitution.
Through the efforts of Hon. Win.
Clifton and Congressman Livingston,
army rations are to be issued to those
people along the coast who lost
everything in the recent floods. Gen.
Richards, acting attorney general,
when asked for his legal opinion, said
that while there was no direct stat
utory authority for it, he knew of
none against it, or words to that ef
fect. We are glad that aid has been
extended to these unfortunate peo
ple, and we believe the whole coun
try will endorse it.
The postoftice authorities have re
cently arrested some citizens of
Paulding and Haralson counties
who it is charged had organized a
scheme by which the government
was being robbed. The operators it
seems were men with mail contracts;
and the scheme was the establish
ment of postoffices along their routes,
to which offices bogus mail matter
was sent, thus increasing the pay of
the mail carriers, they receiving an
amount equal to two-thirds of the
cancellations. It is said that along
some of the routes they had a post
office at nearly every farm house.
W. J. Head, of Dallas, has been ar
rested, charged with being general
manager of the scheme in this sec
tion. Further developments and ar
rests are expected.
Bryan 111 in Savannah.
Savannah, Oct. 24.—Hon. William
Jennings Bryan, commander of the
Third Nebraska regiment, United
States volunteers, is at DeSoto hotel
ill. He has been indisposed several
days, and to-day wired Mrs. Bryan
to come to him at'once. Col. Bryan
will see no one, sending out word
that he is too indisposed to receive
callers.
FEN DERG RASH.
The called meeting of the Jackson
County Singing Choir, which met
here last Sunday, was in every way
a success. Pendergrass, Dry Pond,
Jefferson, Virgil, Mountain Creek,
Hoschton and Hebron, were well
represented.
A little child of Mr. Satterfield,
living one mile below town, was
burned to death last Wednesday
week, and was buried at Mountain
Creek Thursday. We sympathize
with the family. We have drank
from that cup once in our life, and
know it to be a bitter one.
Miss Lizzie McHan returned to
her home in Jasper last Tuesday,
after a few days visit here. Miss
Lizzie made many friends while here,
who regret that she has left us.

attend the all-day singing at Chest
nut Mountain the fifth Sunday in
this month.
Pendergrass will be represented
at Gray Hill at the all-day singing on
the fifth Sunday of this month.

fect Christ.”
Rev 4 A. J. Kelly of Jefferson was
up Sunday collecting money for the

men who are now in school. The
Academy church contributed more
than was asked of her.

Fortunately, by quick work, the
house was saved, with but little dam
age done.
Our three (not old) bachelors, Jim

people like to name their children
after, saying the people like to name
their sons after great generals and
presidents, hoping they may become
great men.
Aunt Jinsey says she named her
little son after a pig, so if ho gets
so low down as to become a drunk
ard and wallow in the dirt, he will
bring disgrace upon no one except
his father and mother’s name and
pig’s name.

as he is individually concerned, he
would not care if cotton would go
to 3 cents and stay there.
One of the Brockton boys recently
went out in the country to pay court
to a lady to whom he had taken a
fancy, but before the courting had
proceeded very far, she took it on
herself to acquaint him with the fact
that she had a husband still in the
land of the living, and then, while
the band played, he retired in good
order. He is, very naturally, some
what discouraged, but we would ad
vise him to hold his base and try it
again—somewhere else.
WILNER.
Rev. J. W. Stipe filled his appoint
ment at Lebanon church last Sat
urday and Sunday. He preached
two excellent sermons. The one on
Sunday especially would do justice to
any pulpit or congregation.
Our church attendance has been
better for the years ’97 and ’9B, which
is one of the best indications of the
state of religion in any community.
If there be neglect of the sanc
tuary, we may be sure that religion
is in a declining state in that commu
nity.

time to preach at this place; but his
many friends here hope that confer
ence will see fit to send him back for
another year.
Several from this place attended
the singing at Pendergrass last Sun
day. They haven’t made their re
port yet.
Dr. Hardy has decided to quit
the practice of medicine, and will

Results of “Work Day” for the
Orpliaus.
200 Oak St., Atlanta, Oct. 21, ’9B.
Editor Herald:— l send a letter,
and ask you to publish it in your
paper, as many want to know how
our “Orphans’ Home Work Day”
succeeded:
Many want to know the results of
the recent “Work Day” for ilia ten
der sufferers. If any one doubts of
the sympathy of Georgians, he ought
to read a few of the letters which
brought gifts, varying from sfio down
to five cents. They show love and
sacrifice.
What did they do? Many had
cotton picking; the bales rolled high.
They picked peas and peanuts, pulled
hay, and did all kinds of farm work.
They run engines, kept store,
“picked” type, drove the saw. The
ladies sewed, taught, made cake, ice
cream, dressss, and above all made
sacrifices. An old moravian saint
of 74 made a pair of fleecy slippers
to warm the feet of some heart hun
gry, sick orphan.
Boxes with deeply needed winter
garments are coming in.
Only a part of the money has
reached the agent, but enough to
make him thank God and humanity.
Already over SI,OOO has reached him,
and many friends and Sunday schools
have not acted yet or sent their gifts.
In addition to the money, are the
boxes.
The Orphans Home at Decatur,
like other such institutions, feels the
injury to crops and depression of
trade more than the public appreci
ates, for poverty throws many little
dependents on others, at our doors.
Twenty pinched faces have begged
a helping hand this week. What can
be done for such needy ones?
All the Orphans’ Homes in GeorjJ
gia are crowded, and the public
ought to put each of these where
they can do all that is needed, for
the Homes save the prblic much in
taxes by making those who wou ] and
probably be criminals into upright,
valuable citizens

Arrive at Washington.
Washington, Oct. 24—A delega
tion of Georgia citizens arrived in
Washington to-night to tender for
mally an invitation to President Mc-
Kinley to attend a peace jubilee to
be held in Atlanta. The
delegation comprised the following
gentlemen: W. A. Hemphill of the
Atlanta Constitution; Judge W. R.
Hammond, Dr. R. D. Spalding,Frank
Rice, Col. A. J. West, ex-Governor
R. B. Bullock, Joseph S. Jacobs,
Thomas B. Neal, president of the
Atlanta chamber of commerce, and
W. J. Kincaid. After the members
of the delegation had told him the
purpose of their visit the president
stated that it was his desire to go to
Atlanta, and that he would certainly
do so if a convenient date could be
arranged. He finally said he would
be able to get away about the mid
dle of December. So the 15th was
determined upon as the date for the
visit.
Yellow Fever is Declining’.
Washington, Oct. 24.—The rapid
decline of yellow fever in the south
is shown by the few reports now
reaching the marine hospital service,
not a single new case being reported,
aud but a few dispatches relating to
the fever having been sent here in
the past forty-eight hours. The cold
weather is accomplishing all that was
expected.
Shore Duty for Sampson.
Washington, Oct. 25.—There is
some talk in naval circles that when
the treaty of peace with Spain is
concluded and Rear Admiral Samp
son completes his duty as a member
of the military evacuation commis
sion he will be relieved from the
command of the North Atlantic fleet.
No official consideration has been
given to the matter of Rear Admi-
ral Sampson’s assignment to shore
duty, but that officer will probably
be relieved when peace has finally
come. It is appreciated by the de
partment that Rear Admiral Samp
son has had most arduous service
and is entitled to some rest. Rear
Admiral Howell was detached from
command of the first squadron of the
North Atlantic fleet, aod is awaiting
orders for shore duty in Washington.
Rear Admiral Schley has been de
tached from sea duty and will be
given a shore assignment immedi
ately upon his return.

literally filled from bottom to top. Our stock is the most complete ever
brought to Gainesville, embracing everything needed for man, woman or

Short Crops and Low Prices.
There are no two classes of men whose interests are nearer the same
than the farmer and the merchant. When the farmer prospers the merohant
prospers, and when crops are short and o jtton low the merchant is effected
by the blow the same as the farmer. Realizing this to be a fact this season
we have selected our stock and made our prices to suit the times.
