JACKHONN KBFRBNENTATIVR,
Saturday’s Constitution had the
following to say of one of Jackson’s
representatives in the legislature:
“Prominent among the sturdy
business men of the present legisla
ture is Hon. John R. Hosch of Jack
son county. Jackson was one of the
best counties in Georgia that fell in
the Populist hands. The Democrats
failed to rescue control in the two
fierce struggles of 1894 and 1896,
losing by large majorities. This
year Messrs. Hosch and Holder were
nominated by the Democrats and
won a brilliant victory after a hard
fought campaign, the county polling
the heaviest vote cast by any county
in Georgia. It is regarded the most
signal triumph of the year. Mr.
Hosch, to whom much of the suc
cess is due, won upon his merits.
He was born in Walton county at a
time not yet sufficiently remote to
put him beyond the class of the
younger men. He has lived in Jack
son county the larger portion of his
life, where his enterprise and busi
ness foresight have been profitable
to himself and beneficial to his peo
ple. He was the foremost factor in
his county in building the Gaines
ville, Jefferson and Southern road in
the early eighties. The town of
Hoschton. the principal station on
the main line of that road and one of
the best business points in north
Georgia, was founded by and named
for him. Mr. Hosch has been en
gaged in manufacturing and mer
chandising for many years and has
acquired by his own efforts a snug
fortune. He is a careful, practical
and preserving man. Prudence and
business judgement will be the ear
marks of any measure which he may
propose. Those who know him best
prophecy that he will become a po
litical figure in Georgia. The elec
tion of Judge Russell of Jackson
county, as judge of the western cir
cuit, was due in no small degree to
the efforts of Mr/'Hosch.
NO MIDI)I,E-OF.TIIE-KOA DEKN
LBVT.
The practical elimination of the
Populist party is one of the features
of Tuesdays elections. The middle
of-the-road element has been com
pletely wiped out and nobody be
longing to that wing or faction is left
in public life.
There will be some Populists in
the next congress—a few, but they
will be to all intents and purposes
Democrats. In other words, they
are the men who acted in good faith
with the Democrats in the last cam
paign and who can be counted on to
do the same thing in the next.
These western Populists are to all
intents and purposes Democrats.
They are men who believe in Demo
cratic principles but who realize that
the Republican party could never
have been overthrown in those west
ern states by the Democratic party,
so strong was the prejudice growing
out of the contests after the war of
the sixties. They therefore went
into the Populist party and they
dominate it. Perhaps in some in
stances their platform may contain
side issues that are not Democratic
but in all the essentials they are
Democrats.
The middle-of—the-roaders were
the people that gave their party
trouble. They tried to play into the
hands of the Republicans in 1898—
some of them purposely, most of
them through the misrepresentations
of their leaders —and they would
have given trouble in 1900 if they
could. The people have seen through
the efforts of these leaders, however,
and their power for harm has been
wiped out. The people can be
fooled sometimes, but not always.
They now see that there is rot m for
but two parties—one the party of
the protected and plutocratic classes,
the other the party of the people—
and that their only chance for relief
lies through the party of the people,
which is, of course, the Democratic.

THE LEGS IMMATURE.
When Speaker Little called the
house to order on Wednesday of last
week, several had not returned from
their homes. The most important
business before the session was the
announcement of the committees af
ter which the house adjourned until
Thursday.
Mr. Hosch was appointed on the
committees of general agriculture,
manufacturing, pensions and rail
roads. Mr. Holder was made chair
man of committee of excuse of mem
bers, vice-chairman of counties and
county matters, and was placed on
committees of auditing, education,
appropriations and penitentiary.
The upper house was only in ses
sion twenty-nine minutes, but sev
eral important matters were intro
duced, among which a bill by Sena
tor R. T. Nesbitt, of the thirty-fifth
district, which is composed of the
counties of Fulton, Clayton and
Cobb, to make the offices of county
judges and solicitors elective by the
people, the change beginning with
the next election of the general as
sembly.
The house committees organized
on Thursday and held lengthy ses
sions.
Two interesting measures intro
duced in the house Thursday were
offered by Mr. Brandon of Fulton,
for the purpose of amending the
pension laws in operation at present
in this state. Mr. Brandon’s first
bill provides that section 1255 of the
code of 1895 be so amended as to
prevent any person who enlisted in
the military service of the confeder
ate states or of this state during the
war from drawing any pension from
the state, regardless of whether or
not he is drawing such pension at
present, unless he can show by af
fidavit or otherwise that he is unable
on account of poverty to support
himself. Mr. Brandon’s second bill
provides that section 1262 of the
code be so amended as to apply the
same restriction to the widows of
confederate soldiers. Both of these
bills were referred to the committee
on ways and means for considera
tion.
The house was in session for some
time on Friday but did not take
final action on any measure. A num
ber of bills were put on second read
ing, including the Slaton-Knowles-
Brandon ordinance to elect the
judge and solicitor of the Fulton
county court by the people. Repre
sentative McDonald of M are, came
to the front as the temperance man
of the house and introduced a state
prohibition bill. Representative
Hiram P. Bell, the veteran of the
legislature, introduced a series of
resolutions favoring the election of
United States senators by the peo
ple, the free coinage of silver, the
repeal of the 10 per cent tax on state
banks, the repeal of the Spanish war
tax and the construction of the Ni
caragua canal. They all went to the
committee on the state of the repub
lic.
In the senate quite a good deal of
time was spent in discussing the
Davis bill to repeal the law which
makes women eligible to the office of
state librarian. The general judic
iary committee reported it favorably,
but the members declined to let it
came up on final passage and sent it
back to the committee.
When the time came to read
house bills for the third time the
two bills conjointly introduced by
Messrs. Slaton, Knowles and Bran
don, providing for the election by
popular vote of the judge of the city
court of Atlanta and of the judge
and solicitors of the criminal court of
Atlanta, were taken up on Saturday
for final action. Both of these bills
had been favorably reported by the
general judiciary committee and
there was no opposition on the part
of the house. When the vote was
announced it stood, yeas 114, nays
none. Under the provisions of these
bills the first election will be held on
January 7, 1899.
The first bill passed Monday when
the house took up bills for third
readings, was the bill introduced by
Mr. Swift of Elbert, requiring the
weight to be stamped on sacks and
packages of cotton seed meal and
hulls.
Another bill which passed the
house was the bill introduced by Mr.
Calvin of Richmond, providing for
the return of marriage licenses to the
ordinary within thirty days from the
issuance of the same, and to pres
cribe certain penalties for failure to
comply therewith.

Deadly Cancer
Cured at Last!
Do Not Give Up in De
spair—There is Hope!
For ages it has been thought
that Cancer is incurable, and
those so unfortunate as to have
this dreadful affliction have con
sidered themselves beyond hope of
recovery. The doctors are ab
solutely unable to afford any re
lief, and the poor sufferer might
well consider himself on the way
to an early grave.
It is now easy to see why the
doctors have failed to cure Cancer.
Their theories have been all wrong,
and hence their treatment mis
directed. They have made the
mistake of thinking that by cut
ting out the sore or ulcer, known
as Cancer, the disease would be
gotten rid of, and the patient re
stored to health. But the cruel
knife accomplishes nothing, for
the Cancer promptly returns,and is
always more virulent than before.
It has been demonstrated, beyond
doubt, that Cancer is a blood disease,
and can not be cured by the surgeon’s
knife because the blood can not be cut
away.
“Several years ago my wife had an
ulcer on her tongue, which, though an
noying, was not regarded seriously at
first. It refused to heal and began to
grow, giving her much pain. The doc
tors treated it for quite a while but
