F. C. TATE,
A Word to Onr Subscribers.
The time of the year has come
when the newspaper man expects,
and must have, some money. "We
have waited until the Ist of * Novem
ber, in order to give you ample op
portunity to be prepared to settle
your accounts. Now, you are due
us a small amount, but we need it,
and hope when you come to town
you will drop a dollar in your pocket
for The Herald.
We have secured the services of
Mr. H. B. Mathis to collect for us
in the county. He will be with the
tax collector at most of his appoint
ments, and will be glad to write re
ceipts for all who are indebted to us for
subscriptions or accounts.
BVKBV VOTER NUOI'LD VOTE.
We wish to impress upon the vot
ers of Jackson county again the im
portance of goiDg to the polls on
next Tuesday and casting your bal
lot for the Hon. Farish Carter Tate.
W e hope not one will stay away,
thinking his vote is not needed. Of
course, there is no doubt of Mr.
Tate’s election, but Jackson county
should do her part, and give him a
good majority. There is no excite
ment over this election, as there was
in October, but it is just as neces
sary that you vote, and vote right, as
it was then. Mr. Tate is our nomi
nee, and is well worthy of the honor,
and every voter of the county should
do his duty on next Tuesday, Nov.
Bth, and carry the county for him.
JI'DOE K. B. UIJNHELL.
The Western circuit, composed of
Clarke, Oconee, Walton, Gwinnett,
Jackson, Banks and Franklin coun
ties, has anew judge for the first
time in sixteen years. The present
legislature, after a close race, excit
ing from start to finish, elected Hon.
It. It. Itussell over Judge N. L.
Hutchins.
Judge Hutchins has presided over
the bench in this circuit for sixteen
years, and during that time has
shown remarkable ability as a judge,
and it is said has had fewer decisions
reversed than any judge in Georgia.
He was endorsed almost unanimously
by the bar of his circuit, which was
a high tribute, although he lost the
race.
However, all things must change,
and Jackson county now has the
honor of furnibhing the judge, the
first time in the history of the cir
cuit, Judge Russell is comparatively
a young man, but everybody who has
attended court in the Western cir
cuit during the last fifteen years is
well acquainted with him. He is a
genial, whole-souled fellow, and has
more friends than most anybody in
the county. Mr. Russell graduated
from the University of Georgia in
1879, ond for the next six years rep
resented Clarke county in the legis
lature. He made a good record as
a legislator, serving on some of the
most important committees in the
house. In 1888 he was elected so
licitor general of the Western circuit,
which oflice he held for eight years
with much credit to himself, being
defeated in 1896 by Col. C. H.
Brand (f G winnett. We predict for
him a successful term, and think
Jackson is to be congratulated for
honoring one of her most noble sons.
■ X IN NOW OV. CANDI.EK.
Shortly before noon last Saturday,
the hall of the house of representa
tives was packed from center to cir
cumference with people from all
parts of the state who had collected
there to witness the inauguration of
Colonel Allen D. Candler governor
of Georgia. It is said that it looked
as if all Georgia was there to pay
honor to the “one-eyed plow boy of
pigeon roost.” So crowded was the
building that it was with difficulty
that President Dodson of the senate
made room for the governor’s party.
In a short, eloquent speech, Presi
dent Dodson presented Col. Candler,
and as he mounted the speaker’s
desk, the pent up enthusiasm of the
immense crowd broke loose, and
cheer after cheer shook the ceiling.
Three times Colonel Candler en
deavored to speak, and each time the
applause was so deafening he could
not be heard. Finally order was re
stored, and he was allowed to de
liver his inaugural address. We wish
that we could give it in full, but
space forbids. It was sound and
sincere, like its author,‘and there was
no waste of words. The closing
words were: “With a profound
sense of the responsibilities lam
about to assume, and invoking your
kindly co-operation and support in
an honest, earnest effort to perform
them with an eye single to the glory
cf Georgia and the best interests of
all her people; and with a fervent
prayer to the god of nations and of
states that I may be endowed with
wisdom to govern in justice and
moderation, I will now take the oath
of office.” He kissed the holy book,
and thus became governor of Geor
gia.
Immediately after the inaugural
ceremonies at the capitol, Governor
and Mrs. Candler and Ex-Governor
and Mrs. Atkinson were driven to
the executive mansion on Peachtree
street, where the party dined.
The executive mansion was then
formally delivered to the new gov
ernor, and Ex-Governor Atkinson
and family left for their future home
in Newnan that afternoon at 4:20
o’clock on the Atlanta and West
Point vestibule train.
Ex-Governor Atkinson will prac
tice law in A/ianta, and it is quite
probable that he will go into part
nership with some prominent lawyer
of that city, although he has up to
the prosent made no arrangements.
WHAT OI K I.AW nAKEBN ARE
DOING.
Most of Thursday’s session in the
house of representatives was con
sumed in the selection of seats and
in the joint session with the senate
to open and consolidate the state
election returns.
The first bill of the session in the
senate came from Senator McLester
of the 24th district. It was one to
revive the old law for a board to
equalize the value of taxable prop
erty. In brief, the bill provides for
the appointment of three citizens
from each county to constitute a
board of equalizers. These gentle
men shall receive $2 a day while they
are in the discharge of their duties.
It shall be the duty of the board to
assess any property at its real value
when it has been returned at too
small a figure by the owner. It also
provides that no tax returns shall be
accepted until they have been passed
on by the board of equalizers. It
was referred to the finance commit
tee.
On Thursday night the Demo
cratic members of the legislature met
at the capitol to nominate candidates
for judges and solicitors. There
were nine candidates for judges and
two for solicitors who were nomi
nated without opposition. There
were six ia which the contests were
warm. Of these the most excitiDg
were for the judgeship and solicitor
of the Noreheastern circuit, and the
judgeship of the Western circuit.
In the Northeastern circuit W. A.
Charters of Lumpkin won the so
licitorship over F. M. Johnson of
Hall by a majority of three votes. In
the same circuit Judge J. B. Estes of
Hall defeated Judge J. J. Kimsey of
White for judge by a vote of 106 to
94. In our own circuit, the Western,
Hon. R. B. Russell defeated Judge
N. L. Hutchins by a vote of 116 to
85. The candidates nominated by
the caucus were elected by the legis
lature on Monday.
Several bills were introduced on
Friday, and referred to the different
committees.
Little of interest transpired Satur
day in the house and senate, both
branches adjourning early to witness
the inaugural ceremonies.
A bill that created considerable
comment was introduced on Mon
day by Mr. Davis, of the Thirty
seventh. It was a very short bill,
but provided for the repeal of the
law in requiring the registration of
voters in the state.
“I introduced that bill,” said Mr.
Davis, “because the present registra
tion law has proven very unsatisfac
tory. lam not opposed to the reg
istration of voters, but I am opposed
to the present system It is incom
plete and bungling, and a more com
plete system is demanded by the
people. They would rather have
nothing than the present system. I
have no plan of my own, but hope
someone will introduce a bill dur
ing the present session that will be
satisfactory to the people. Even the
Australian ballot system which Sen
ator Redding’s bill provides for
would be more satisfactory to the
people than the present system of
registration.”
The bill of Mr. Mullins of Meri
wether, to cede territory for a fish
hatchery to the United Slates gov
ernment, was read for the third time
and passed by a vote of 112 to 0.
This was the first house bill to be
adopted. On account of the fact
that negotiations were pending and
that Attorney General Terrell had
already drawn up the papers, the
matter was pushed through in ad
vance of other business. The gov
ernment intends to establish a large
fishery in Meriwether county, near
Warm Springs.
I.ETTER FROM TUE EDITOR.
Atlanta, Ga., Nov. 2d, 1898. —
Thinking it would be of interest
to the readers of The Herald to have
some news from the state capitol, I
decided to write a short letter this
week.
An account of the organization of
the legislature has already been pub
lished, and it is not necessary to re
iterate that here at the present
time.
The legislature is composed of
two branches—the house and senate
—but when a governor is to be in
augurated and judges and solicitors
elected, the two bodies meet to
gether and the two constitute a
joint assembly, and the joint assem
bly is presided over by the president
of the senate.
Wednesday morning, before the
hour for the legislature to convene,
the Democrats met at the call of
Chairman dußignon, and decided to
hold a caucus to nominate the differ
ent officers of the house and senate,
and candidates for judges and solic
itors general of the superior court.
A caucus was held at once to nom
inate a speaker, president of the sen
ate, etc., and on Thursday night a
caucus was held to nominate candi
dates for judges and solicitors. Great
interest was manifested in the se
lection of these officers. Friends in
great numbers of the different can
didates were here, and were cease
less in their efforts for their favor
ites. The scene of political hostili
ties was in the Kimball House lobby,
which was as busy with humanity as
a hive of bees just about the time
they swarm.
Some of the candidates had no
opposition, and of course these
viewed the battle afar with
silent satisfaction. One of these
candidates was the Hon. Joseph W.
Bennett of Brunswick, who once
taught school at Martin Institute in
the old Institute building which was
burned down and right where the
Baptist church is to-day. It afford
ed us great pleasure to cast our bal
lot for our former tutor, and he
seemed to feel greiit interest in Jack
son county.
The Hon. Joseph W. Bennett is
judge of the Brunswick circuit, and
was once our teacher, and the Hon.
John W. Bennett is solicitor general,
and he was our classmate. The
Bennetts are thoroughly in evidence
in South Georgia, and like the Ben
nett’s of Jackson county, are thor
ough hustlers.
The race for judge of the north
eastern circuit was close, indeed, but
Judge John B. Estes of Gainesville
was elected over the present incum
bent, the Hon. John J. Kimsey, by
a vote of 104 for Estes, and 96 for
Kimsey. It will be a source of
pleasure to the people of Jackson
county to know that Judge Estes
will hold court for Jackson in all
probability in February.
The race for solicitor general of
the northwestern circuit between
the Hon. W. A. Charters of Lump
kin, and Hon. F. M. Johnson of Hall,
was even closer and more exciting
than the race for judge of the same
circuit. These two contestants for
the solicitorship ran neck and neck,
and when the last ballot was an
nounced, the vote stood 103 for
Charters, and 100 for Johnson. Mr.
Johnson made one of the best races
ever run in Georgia,considering that
he fought his fight almost single hand
ed. Mr.Charters is a brainy man.and
no doubt will make a most excellent
prosecuting attorney.
The hardest fought of all the con
tests was between Judge N. L.
Hutchins and Richard B. Russell,
for judge of the Western circuit.
More interest was manifested in this
race, seemingly, than all the others.
Each candidate had his faithful lieu
tenants. Judge Hutchins was backed
by Ex-Governor McDaniel, Judge
Fish, Capt. W. B. Burnett, Col
James M. Smith, Judge Hamp Mc-
Whorter, Hon. Dave Meadow, Hon.
Weldon Price, the entire Athens bar
with one exception—Col. H. S. W’est
—and his own home people. Mr
Russell had for his lieutenants:
Judge Geo. F. Gober, Hon. O. B.
Stevens, Hon. Jim Dupre, Hon Newt
Morris, Solicitor General Tom
Hutcherson, Senator Walter E.
Steed, Hon. J. F. Redding, Hon.
A. S. Clay, F. G. dußignon, Con
gressmen Griggs and Lewis, and his
home people. All were faithful
and tireless workers for him, but of
all these, the most indefatagable and
ceaseless worker was Ihe Bon. Jim
Dupre of Montezuma, who served in
the house with Mr. Russell for six
years, and who used every energy at
his command to make his old col
league Judge of the W T estern circuit.
Never did we see as much political
work done as was done on Thursday.
Every energy that either side could
demand was put into action, and
both sides felt confident just at
night. On Thursday night when the
two candidates were placed in nomi
nation breathless silence reigned su
preme, but when Mr. Russell receiv
ed the vote of 29 senators, and Judge
Hutchins 11, it was seen that Mr.
Russell would be elected, and the
final vote showed his election by 31
majority. No man was prouder of the
result than Henry W’est of Athens,
who was a zealous supporter of Mr.
Russell, and the only member of the
Athens bar who did support him.
After Mr. Russell’s election, three
cheers were given for Henry West.
When the result was announced,
Hon. Weldon Price of Oconee said:
“I am satisfied. I did all I could to
elect Judge Hutchins, but I could
not, and since I have been licked I
will make peace with the’ enemy.”
And he found Col Russell, and to
gether they went to a restaurant, and
Mr. Price set ’em up to an oyster
stew. Mr. Russell visited 133 out of
the 137 counties in the state, and re
ceived 120 pledges from members
before they ever reached Atlanta.
After the judges and solicitors
were nominated, then the next most
important affair of state was the in
auguration of the Hon. Allen D. Can
dler governor of Georgia.
No great preparation was made
for this august event, for Col. Can
dler expressed a desire to have a
plain and unostentatious inaugura
tion. But the Dahlonega cadets
were present in full force, and so
were the students of Mercer Univer
sity, of which institution Col. Can
dler is an alumnus. The galleries
were filled with people, and many
friends of the governor were on the
floor of the house, among whom was
Judge Emory Speer, whom Col.
Candler defeated for congress in ’B2.
Judge Speer walked into the place
just about twenty minutes before the
inaugural ceremonies began, and he
and the Hon. H. P. Bell, who is now
a member of the house of represen
tatives and whom Judge Speer once
defeated for congress, shook hands
in the most cordial and friendly
manner. Both took seats just in
front of the speaker’s stand, and
chatted very pleasantly for several
minutes.
At 12 o’clock the house and sen
ate went into joint session, and at
12.15 the messenger of the senate
announced that their honors, the
governor, governor-elect and state
house officers, were ready to enter
the chamber. President Dodson of
the senate answered, “Let them be
admitted.” Then Governor Atkin
son and Governor-elect Candler came
in arm and arm, closely followed by
the state house officials. Governor
Atkinson and Governor-elect Can
dler went to the speaker’s stand to
gether, and President Dodson intro
duced Col. Candler to the audience
in very beautiful and appropriate
words. As Col. Candler arose to
make his inaugural address, he was
warmly applauded. His inaugural
address insisted on ballot reform and
lower taxes. After concluding his
speech, Chief Justice Simmons de
livered to him the oath of office, and
Governoi Atkinson handed him the
seal of state, which made Hon.
A. D. Candler governor, and Hon.
W. Y. Atkinson ex-governor.
J. N. H.
During the present session of the
legislature Governor Candler will
have the appointment of between
thirty and forty county judges and
solicitors, and it begins to look as
though there were contests in nine
out of every ten of these places. For
one little solicitorship twenty-two
interested supporters of the several
candidates, by actual count, called to
see the governor yesterday, and as a
matter of fact the man who gets the
position will not be able to take the
bench for eleven months hence.
There are even applicants for office
that will not be vacant until after
Col. Candler’s present term expires.
The friends of Former Congressman
Charles F. Crisp, of Sumter, are
urging him for the office of judge of
the Sumter court, although the ap
pointment will not be made until
February, 1900, so anxious are they
to head off the opposition. It is not
the fault of the candidates or of
their friends that the races start so
long before they can finish, but they
are forced to begin their work early
because it has for many years been
the fashion in Georgia to do so. —At-
lanta Constitution.
A Family Reunion.
There was an interesting family
reunion at the old homestead of Mr.
H. H. Brock on October 26th. There
were about twenty-five of his chil
dren and grand children present, in
cluding his sons of near fifty years
of age, and infant grand children in
their mothers arms.
An artist was present, who took
pictures of the entire crowd present,
which no doubt will be kept and
viewed over and over during this and
the next generation.
Rev. Mr. Kelly was present, and
conducted short religious exercises,
consisting of reading, prayer, and a
short talk. Reference was made to
the advanced age of Mr. Brock, who
was encouraged to congratulate him
self on the interesting scene before
him. All his children were pi’esent
save one, and all well-to-do in the
present life, with a bright prospect
of a happy life in the world above.
The remarks were closed in a few
words of encouragement and advice
to the children.
A heavily loaded table was set in
the dining room, of which all par
took, and left enough to supply an
other reunion. Witness.
DRY FOND.
Mr. F. C. Evans went down to
Athens last Thursday on business.
Mrs. Eliza Gordon and daughter,
Mrs. W. E. Merk, of Bogart, are vis
iting relatives and friends at this
place this week.
Dr. Morgan says that the time has
come when people will have to quit
making remarks about his bald head.
Well, I will not say any more—“that
makes it right, alright.”
Prof. Moore has moved into the
house recently vacated by Mr. T. J.
Barber, and will devote from now
until Xmas drumming up his school.
We are glad to have Prof. Moore
and his charming wife in our midst,
and we feel safe in saying that Prof.
Moore will make us one of the best
teachers we have ever had at Dry
Pond, and we bespeak for him a full
attendance.
Our scientist is now trying to
solve the mysteries of perpetual mo
tion. Verily, verily, this is the day
of wonders.
And it is his honor, Judge Russell.
For the information of the recently
promoted “Big Tom” of the Popu
list party, we will state that there
are some indications to the effect
that there is life in the old land yet,
and that the Democratic goose still
hangs altitudinal.
Next Tuesday is the day to go and
vote for F. Carter Tate.
The sociable given by Mr. and
Mrs. F. C. Evans last Saturday
night was highly enjoyed by all
present. The music rendered by
Mr. A C. Wilson and Miss Lucy Wil
hite was just simply out of sight.
The singing at Gray Hill last Sun
day was well attended, and some fine
music was rendered by the choir,and
everybody present (except ye scribe
and a few other old bachelors)
seemed to enjoy themselves splen
didly.
AFFLE VALLEY.
Let everybody turn out next
Tuesday, the Bth day of November,
and vote for F. C. Tate for Con
gress, as he is a man who will stick
to his duty at all times, and that is
the kind of man the people need.
We are proud of our new judge,
Hon. R. B. Russell. We believe he
is a man who will not shrink from
duty, and will give every man jus
tice, matters not which way the wind
blows. However, Judge N. L.
Hutchins is hard to down deciding a
case, giving justice to all mankind.

Sunday at the all-day singing, but
when I reached my destitution and
was unboxod, I found myself in the
midst of a vast crowd of people from

In the grand Adam Forepaugh and

is to exhibit at Athens on November
Bth, all the elements contribute their
rarest living wonders to instruct and
entertain. Uniquely conspicuous
among these will be found Capt.
Woodward’s only school of perform
ing sea lions and seals, a whole
family of gigantic and daring am
phibious artists, whose rare intelli
gence has been developed to a most
unique, surprising and ludicrous de
dree, when the grotesquely unwieldy
character of their bodies is consid
ered, and tails and stumpy flippers
have to be depended on in the place
of arms and legs. To take these
creatures from their native element
and make of them soldiers, music
ians, soloists, mimics and clowns,
superior in many respects to any
quadrupeds, and funnier than all of
them put together, was an undertak
ing requiring positive genius and un
limited patience and kindness on the
part of their trainer. The result is a
triumph of originality, surprises and
entertainment. See it, and you will
also say so. —Ex.

I send you a “Paraphrase of
Thompson’s Robin.”
Tamed by the cold, the fowls of heaven,
Crowd ’round the winnowing stove,
And claim the boon which God has given
Hard by the farmers doors.
But one alone, the redbreast wise,
Sacred to household geds,
llegardfut of the the unfriendly skies,
Seeks friendly man’s abode.
In joyless fields and thorny brakes,
Uls shlv’rlng mates he leaves,
To trusted man his course he takes,
His confidence he give s.
But half afraid, at first he beats
Upon the window pane,
Then off on wing he quick retreats,
But soon returning again.
Then brisk alights Just in the door,
Then on the hearth so warm,
And hopping nimbly o’er the floor,
Till more familiar grown.
The smiling family he eyes,
Picks up the ciumbs so sweet.
Then off on nimble wings he flies,
His hungry mates to greet.
