JACkNON PBnOI'KATIC-
O I IIKK ELECTION NEH'N.
The election in this county on last
Tuesday was very quiet. Nineteen
hundred and twenty-two votes were
polled, and Hon. Farish Carter Tate
carried the county by 470 votes
The sixteen other counties in the
district also went for Tate, thus giv
ing him a handsome majority over
his competitor, Mr. Brooke.
The next congressional delegation
from Georgia will be solidly Demo
cratic. Every district in tho state
elected the Democratic nominee by
large majorities.
The Democrats have made gains
all over the United States, and will
have a majority in the next house of
representatives.
Van Wyck, the Democratic candi
date for governor of New York, was
defeated by about 20,000 plurality.
He carried Greater New York by
72,000 majority.
North Carolina was redeemed.
The fusion tickets were utterly
routed, and the state is Democratic
again.
THE I.EUIHLATIJRE.
An important step taken in the
matter of organizing the work of the
new legislature was put forward
Wednesday of last week by a num
ber of the members who served in
the last session. They issued a se
cret call early in the day for a meet
ing of all represensatives who favored
what are known as the reform bills
to meet in room 31, at the capitol, at
3 o’clock, and in response to the in
vitation, a large number of repre
sentatives turned out. The body
organized by the election of Hon.
A. O. Blalock of Fayette as chair
man, and Hon. E. W. Copeland of
Walker as secretary. On roll call
forty-seven members of the lower
house answered to their names, and
the promoters of the meeting said
later that the tardy members would
easily run the list up to fifty.
The declared object of the new
committee is to reduce state expen
ditures, and it is probable that they
will take up several of the bills which
were introduced in the last legisla
ture as a result of the work of the
Blalock investigating committee. In
addition they have several bills of
more recent birth, and among the
whole, the following may be men
tioned as those which the committee
is most likely to endorse:
1. To abolish the department of
the state geologist.
2. To reduce the salary of the
chairman of the railroad commission
from $2,500 per year to $2,000, and
of the associate commissioners from
$2,500 to sls a day for actual ser
vice.
3. To cut in half the salaries of
the oil and fertilizer inspectors of the
department of agriculture.
4. To abolish the appropriation of
$25,000 a year to the national guard
of the state.
5. To abolish the appropriation of
SIO,OOO a year to the department of
agriculture.
There are numerous other sugges
tions as to the curtailing of expenses
which may or may not be incorpor
ated into bills actually submitted for
consideration by the legislature, but
there will doubtless be many more.
A joint resolution passed both
houses Wednesday to adjourn from
Saturday over to noon on Wednes
day in order to permit the legislators
to go to their homes and vote, the
intermediate days being declared
dies non.
The legislature is determined to
study the Australian ballot system.
A resolution was adopted Thursday
by the senate and concurred in by
the house providing that a joint com
mittee should visit some state where
the system is now employed, and ob
serve its workings on Tuesday, the
day of the election. The resolution
provided that the trip should be made
without any cost to the state. Presi
dent Dodson appointed as the com
mittee on the part of the senate
Messrs. Perkins of the 31st, Redding
of the 22d, and Morrison of the 34th.
Speaker Little of the house appoint
ed Messrs. Smith of Hall, Holder of
Jackson, Harwell of Dodge, Hard
wick of Washington, and Watkins of
Gilmer. These gentlemen left Mon
day for Cincinnati, where they spent
Tuesday observing the workings of
the system in Ohio. They will make
their report to the legislature.
The committee appointed to look
into the applications for pensions re
ported that an additional appropria
tion of $50,000 would be needed to
pay off the applications now pending.
President Dodson of the senate
announced his committees Thursday.
Hon. J. K. Thompson was appointed
chairman of the committee on privi
leges of the floor.
Both branches of the legislature
have joined in a demand for an exact
statement as to Georgia’s financial
condition, and it is no exaggeration
to say that the legislative wheels will
not turn, at least so far as appropria
tions are concerned, until the infor
mation is forthcoming. The senate
has already acted, and Friday tne
house adopted unanimously, under
a suspension of the rules, the follow
ing resolutions:
“Resolved by the house of repre-
sentatives, the senate concurring.
That the state treasurer aDd comp
troller general!’lrtish to the general
nibly ah egrlv as_p< st- bie state
ments showing the precise condition
of the state treasury as evidenced
by the records in their respective de
partments on the Ist of November,
1898, based on the amounts hereto
fore appropriated for particular and
all purposes, including all funds paid
to the state treasury from whatever
source received, with the amount
now in the state treasury to the
credit of each of said several appro
priations, ond that the state treas
urer furnish with the statement to
be made by him, a report showing
the amount at said date, due to the
state by each of the several state de
positories.”
Quite a number of new bills were
introduced on Friday, and were re
ferred to the different committees.
There may be a constitutional con
vention in Georgia next year. A
bill providing for such a convention
was introduced in the house Satur
day by Mr. Ellis of Bibb.
Governor Candler appointed his
military staff on Saturday and the
announcement of the appointments
was the only event of importance in
legislative and political circles. It
was generally understood that he
would have a smaller staff than Gov
ernor Atkinson, but few people were
prepared for the sweeping reduction
that he has made in the chief execu
tive’s military family. Governor At
kinson appointed 104 on his staff and
Governor Candler appointed thirty
six. The following were among the
appointments:
Judge Advocate Genenal—George
M. Napier, of Walton, with the rank
of colonel.
Aides-de-Camp, with the rank of
lieutenant colonel—Charles S. Webb
of Hall, H. W. Wooding of Banks.
wnu WILL KE LEOKIiIA'N NEXT
SENATOR?
Friday’s Journal announced that
the Hon. Leonidas F. Livingston
would be a candidate for the United
States senate in 1900, to succeed
Senator A. O. Bacon, whose term
expires then. It said: “The an
nouncement of Col. Livingston’s
candidacy was made by him to his
friends here yesterday afternoon and
to one gentleman he declared that
he would get more votes than either
of the other candidates and that he
would win the race.”
A close personal friend of Congress
man, Livingston however, said in re
gard to this publication: “I have
known Lon Livingston for twenty
years and I think I know him pretty
well. Some fool folks have been anx
ious for the past month to get someth
ing in print about his alleged candida
cy for the sen ate,and they seem finally
to have succeeded. What their game
is Ido not know, but I want to say
as publicly as possible that even if
Uncle Lon were a candidate for the
senate he would have sense enough
not to say so at this time. Those
who are acquainted with him
will not take the publication seri
ously, but there are many who don’t
know him who ought to be warned.
When the old man wants to be sena
tor he will say so, but it will never
be two years before the legislature
which is to elect him meets.”
It is thought that Senator Bacon
will be a candidate to succeed him
self, and probably Hon. F. G. dußig
non will be in the race, and although
Ex-Governor Atkinson has not an
nounced himself, it is said that he is
sure to run.
ECHOES FROM MARTIN INSTI
TUTE.
Our chapel exercises are made very
interesting by each pupil stating a
geographical or historical fact, or
quoting from a popular author, at
roll call. The primary department
does not come up wanting in this by
any means.
Miss Eulalia Collier entered school
Monday.
The subject for next Friday after
noon’s debate is, “Resolved, That the
expectation of reward is a greater
incentive to exertion than the fear of
punishment.” If this debate is as
lively as the last one, it will be very
interesting.
Several from our school attended
the show at Athens Tuesday.
Miss Hattie Allan, a bright junior,
has been unable to attend school
part of this week.
Prof. Pool’s father paid him a
short visit a few days since.
Notice to Teachers—lß99.
The board of education of Jackson
county will meet in the court house
at Jefferson on Thursday, December
Ist, 1898, for the purpose of employ
ing teachers for the year 1899, on
the following conditions:
Ist. The license of every applicant
must be submitted to the board for
examination.
2d. Except in cases of incorporated
schools, applicants must submit to
the board a written contract signed
in good faith by patrons who live as
near the school asked for as to any
other public school. The signatures
of patrons must be in their own hand
writing, and the contract thus made
must be to the extent of at least
twenty subscribed pupils.
3d. All contracts made will be sub
ject to the rules formulated by the
board after the adjournment of the
legislature now in session.
By order of the board of education.
G. J. N. Wilson, C. S. C.
P. S. The impression that some
counties have received the third
quarter payment from the state, is a
mistake. In cases where payment
on third quarter has been made, it
was done with borrowed money with
interest at banking rates. C. S. C.
THIS BURNS IT ALL UP.
£* ;
Sc rend Reply of Andrew J. Bell, Esq.,
to T. S Johnson in Ihe Economist,
Editor Jackson Herald:
How much, me thicks, I could despise this man,
Were I not bound It charity against It.
Shakespeare—Henry VIII.
When I first resented the insult
given me by Parson Tomtit Johnson
in the Economist of two weeks ago,
I really felt much resentment against
the man, but after reading his last
poor “Weary Willie like,” rambling
reply in the last issue of that paper,
all resentment was at once succeeded
by a genuine pity; and I am now
sorry for the fellow. Why, great
Scotl! just listen. In the first epis
tle of that gentleman, he writes thus:
That bald headed ljjnoranious In a rage asked
“who made you an official? We will run this as
we please.”
And when I proposed in my an
swer to prove by the chairman of the
campaign committee of his own party
that I never uttered any such words,
instead of owning up as any other hon
est man would that he had knowingly
misrepresented me, he tried to get
out of this false statement by mak
ing another, to wit:
I did not know, as I was not present when the
polls were opened, that said Andrew J. an
nounced that the authority was vested In him
by belsg api>olnted by the ordinary to hold that
election and he was going to hold It as he did
the election lour years ago.
What I said was this, that I should
make the same ruling in this matter
that I did four years ago, when the
Democrats objected to the Miller’s
district Populists voting at Jefferson
precinct (after the election had been
broken up there by a riot). And that
was this: That no man would be pro
hibited from voting unless he were
challenged. And what a strange coin
cidence it is that this same Parson
Tomtit should have been the leader
of the Miller’s district rioters at that
time, and that he should have cheered
me then from the top of a chair for
the very same ruling that he damns
me for to-day. Oh, consistency,thou
art a jewel; but none of thy gems
gleam in Parson Tomtit.
And then it is so funny to read
him thus in the last Economist:
Wbat does be mean by such language? Would
he have good citizens In other sections ol the
state believe that It would take shedding of
blood to hold an election according to law?
And then to remember him as he
rushed in at the head of the Miller’s
rioters in 1894 with eyes blazing as
fire and his religious beard fairly
glittering with the sparks of battle,
and then again only last month when
he sprung in the midst of the super
intendents of the county election
and so inspired the crowd with his
fearful wrath that even the other
two managers of the election (for
getting for a moment their dignity)
arose and came in an inch of mortal
combat. Oh, heavens, was there
ever such a two-faced colt folded
afore?
But listen again, what gibberish
he breeds when he knew in his heart
at the time that there was not one
word of truth it it:
Now, we defy any living creature to say that
that board of managers i>ald any attention to
any list whatever. No man can say so and tell
the truth
Oh, Tomtit, Parson Tomtit, re
member your cloth and the charac
ter of your church, and take that
back; for you well know that the
voters list not only lay open before
the managers all day long, and not
only was referred to whenever a vote
was challenged, but that you , oh, Tom
tit, oven you, your own precious self,
came at least four or five times and
requested permission to examine the
status of some voters, which request
was alivays courteously complied
with by none other than this same
“Old Reck” himself. Don’t deny
this, or by heaven I shall go mad.
Oh, urn! some good man pray for
us all.
But the work must go on, let it
cost what it may. My God! listen
again:
Disgusted, I started to the phone to ask the
governor s opinion, in company with Mr. Ed
McDonald. While on our way to the phone we
passed Messrs. J. R. Shield?, Sr., C. C. MeSl
hannon and some other gentlemen, and I stated
to them, and I say here, that I did It la the
highest respect, to come aid go with us to hear
what the governor had to fay.
Oh, Tomtit, this last blow breaks
my heart, for did not that honest old
relic of a' more truthful day, J. R.
Shields, come clear in my office to
tell me not two days ago that so far
as he was concerned in the above
paragraph, that there was not one
word of truth in it, and worse than
all, Mr. C. C. McElhannon has re
cently informed one of the most re
liable men in this town to the same
effect, word for word.
And now hear me, man, for jest
ing is now over, and I mean just
what I say. Ido not charge you
with deliberate falsehood; I have
simply presented the evidence and
leave the public to judge for them
selves. But in conclusion, Ido say
this: I may be the drunkard that
you charge, and my two noble boys
now nearing manhood may follow in
my footsteps. If they do, I shall
follow them to the brink of the grave,
and no chiding word shall ever fall
from my lips. But, by the eternal,
if either one of them ever so far for
gets his blood, my blood, and the
blood of my honored father, whose
pure and noble life illustrated Jack
son county for seventy years, as to
originate or repeat a slanderous
falsehood upon an innocent man for
selfish ends, by heaven! I will dis
own him then and there, so help
me God, and will never look into
his face again.

To The Public.
An effort is being made to take
from me the solicitorship of Jefferson
city court. I trust no one will criti
cise me for honorably endeavoring to
retain what was part of the office of
solicitor general when I was elected.
I won this office after a long and hard,
though a fair and honorable fight,
and I feel that I should be allowed
to retain it at least until my present
term expires. lam told I ought not
to object to this movement because
the city court of Gwinnett, provided
for a county solicitor,was established
when Mr. Russell was solicitor. This
is true, but our bar were informed
Mr. Russell had no objection, and so
far as I know he made no protest.
The two courts are not at all similar
in their workings. In Gwinnett only
a small per cent of the misdemeanor
business is transferred to the city
court, while in Jackson almost the
entire misdemeanor business is so
transferred. So Mr. Russell was not
injured by Gwinnett city court,while
I would be materially injured and
hurt if I am deprived of prosecuting
the business in Jefferson city court.
I only ask to be permitted to hold
this county solicitorship,which I won
in an honorable contest, during the
remainder of my term, and then if
the people prefer to have a home so
licitor, I shall not utter a word of
dissent. I can attend to the busi
ness of the city court as now none of
the terms of the superior court con
flict with those of the city court.
Whether I am permitted to do so or
not, I desire to remind the people
who bear the burden of these courts
and pay the taxes necessary to their
maintainance, that if you have a
county solicitor you will have the
city court running practically from
one end of the year to the other, and
this means more trouble, more ex
pense and more lost time for the la
boring people, a consequence they
can ill afford to bring upon them
selves during these hard and dis
couraging times.
I have no unkind word for any one
opposing me is this movement, yet I
trust the people will not endorse it.
Respectfully, C. H. Brand.
