BARNESYILLE GAZETTE. BARNF.SVILUE,GA, APRIL l 6 !■*■■■■"" 11 ■!-■ It ie estimated tlat Ti xs alone will raise 3,000,000 ba'es of cotton this year. We b lieve tbepejpleare “cutting their own throats” in clamoring for free silver. > The colt n mills mutt be among the cotton fit Ids. It was a long time coming, but it is coming. Crisp speaks for the entertainment and amusement of the crowd; Smith spiaks to enlighten and instruct the people. Alabama has gone for free silver, nominating Johnston over Clmke for governor. It is not very surprising, but it is bid. What will the harvest be, is afl unanswerable question in the politi cal world this year. The futuro is one of doubt. It is popular to advocate free coinage of ailver and to abuse IVull street and gold bugs. It is betler to be right however than to be popular. It is time some of these murder ers wLo are pronounced crazy afier i (he deed is committed, should be bung. The crazy dodge is danger on9‘ Hon. Charles F. Crisp las been compelled to cancel all his engage ments for speeches, on account of *he condition ° f his tLroat. This ;e to be regfSlkd i It is not probable that Congress man Churles L. Bartlett will hive any opposition in the race for con gress. He is popular through the district and would bo hard t) bent. Hod. FI oming O. Dußignon. aj candidate for the Senate, is making the welkin ling in South Geoigia. We hope we will have opportunity to tprak in every section of the state. Tie present outlook is that there will be lively tines politically iu Georgia this year, but if Suollygos tor Ilam is iu the campaign, mujbe be cau keep the people iu a good hu mor. I’iko county will have plenty of good meu as candidates Iroui whom to make a selection for < ft’ cere, a number of the best meu iu the county have annouucid themselves lor the various < fftets. The total coinage for the month of March was $1,540,555 in gold, $1,083,530 in silver and $48,817 iu minor con . And jet this is a gold bug eia and silver is discriminated against 6ays the Columbus Enqui rer. Candidates for county, state aud federal officer aregettiug thick, and it is certain that more will be defeated thau will bo elected. It cau not be said of auy defeated can didate this year that “when he weeps, he weeps alone.” The courts of our country should always be strict iu the enforcement of law and technicalities should not be allowed to defeat justice. This has beeu a serious tiuubb', which has led to much crime and which has brought the law ami lire courts iuto dispute. CATARRH CANNOT HE CURED. With Local Applications, rs they canuot roach the seat of the disease. Catarrh is a blood or constitutional disease, ami in order to cure it you must take internal remedies. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken iuternally, and acts directly ou the blood nod mu cous surfaces. Hull's Catarrh Cure is not a quack medicine. It was prescribed by one of tue best physi cians iu this country for years, and is n regular prescription. It is com posed of the best touics known, com bined with the best blood purifiiers, acting diiectly on the mucous surfa ces. Tie perfect combination ( f tire wo ingredients is what products Buch wondeiful results iu curiug Catarrh Seud for testimonials free. F. J. Chenk\& Cos., Props , Toledo, O. The World's Fair Tests showed *lO baking powder so pure or so great in leav• £ ening power as the Roj a!. SNAP JUDJE MEN f. Judg Tbrmftß G. Lawson represente the Eighth district in congress. He is epposi and to free silver, aud says if the naiioDal platform of tbe demo cratic paity declares against free sil ver be will be a c ndidate for con gress again. If it declares for free silver, tie can not consistently be a j candidate and will not be. This po sition will be indorsed by honest men (very where, and in this day of political triikeiy and cb-ap state men, the politicians at him3 ar:- . doing every thing possible to beat him and to fix things before LawtOD has an opportunity to re-pieseut himself. In some counties primaries; have already been called for June 6, at which date Lawson will still be iu Washington. This is little short of outrageous and roust bp condemn ed by every one who has an appreci ation of fairness. r I his is largely the manner of cam paign ibis tear, it seems, since the party is in the hands of manipula tor?, uud we predict hero and now that the people will Path some les sons, that will Dot soot be forgotten, if these unfair methods arc not aban- Jontd. We are sorry fhat the machinery of the democrat c party ever fill in feuch hands. IMPORTANT TO FRUIT GROWERS. The leading fruit growers of Geot giu having organized the Georgia Fruit Grower’s Association , propose here after to ship their fruit through the mediums of a shippiug master, chosen by a board of nine directors, elected by the Association. 'J be board, at present, is composed is follows; Hod. N. H. A1 bough, Tadmor, Obic; John D. Cunningham. Marietta. Ga; J. F. Wilson, Panlon, Go; J M. Hughes, Danville. Gi; Hon. W. T. Cope, Columbus, Ohio; 8, M. Wtiman, Pomona, Ga; B. T. Moore, Mar.ballville, Ga; W A. Branuon, Moreland, Ga: J. W, Rawlep, Cuth bert, Gt. | The board will meet the latter! part of April to arrange for the hand ling of the present crop. A preliminary meeting of fruit growers of Pike and adjoining coun ties will be hell at the court house in Griff gou Tuesday, April 21, at 10 o'clock a iu., to discuss plune, col lect information aud suggestions from experienced growers aud ship pers that may prove helpful to the board if directors. All growers, whether members of the association or not, are invited to be present to riiseuts the methods proposed. It is of the greatest importance that all growers, however small their snip ment, unite in h pl-rn that will insure an i qual distrabutiou of fruit in all the markets and avoid a glut in any city. ABOUT REGISTRATION. The registration law will have to bo observed and enforced in the elec tion this year. As it is a matter of much importance, e give below a letter from Attorney General Terrell as to the law. Under tbe General Itegistaatiou Law of 181*4 n person will not be permitted to vote in the general elec tion iu October, 1890, unless be bus registered since the first, day of Jan uarv, 18%, in tbe voters’ book men - tioned iu that law. Tbe schemes for registration us prescribed by this law provides for annual registrations, and tbe registration of au off election Gladness Comes With a better understanding of the transient nature of the many phys ical ills which vanish before proper ef forts gentle efforts —pleasant efforts— rightly directed. There is comfort in the knowledge that so many forms of sickness are not due to any actual dis ease, hut simply to a constipated condi tion of the system, which the pleasant family laxative. Syrup of Figs, prompt ly removes. That is why it is the only remedy with millions of families, and is everywhere esteemed so highly bv all who value good health. Its bcneticial | effects are duo to the fact, that it is the i one remedy which promotes internal without debilitating the organs on which it acts. It is therefore alt important, in order to get its bene ficial effects, to note when you pur chase. 1 hat you have the genuine article, w bicli is manufactured by the California Fig Syrup Cos. only, and sold by all rep utable druggists. If in the enjoyment of good leaiui, and the system'is regular, then laxa tives or other remedies are not needed. If afflicted with any actual disease, one ninv l>e commended to the most skillful physicians, but if in need of a laxative, then one should have the best, and with the well-informed everywhere, Syrup of Figs stands highest and is most largely used and gives most general satisfaction. year amounts to nothing except in case of special electionfor one of the purposes mentioned in section 1 of the Act. Regibtratien by tbe Tax Receiver I instead of the Tax Collector would I have beeD far more convenient to a I majority of the votejs in the state j under our present election laws, and I I suppose the duty would have been j placed upon the tax receiver instead 11 f the collector Lad the person who dralled the bill known that the same legislature which enaciei this law would have changed the time of holding tbe county elections from i January to October. I have no doubt but that the legislature at its mi> session will make this amend cent, as under the law rigiatrati m in the winter of 1895 whm the taxes were paid to the collector will not relieve the voter of the mcetsity cf register ed in 189(5 prior toibe closing of the books for the October electi <a, bence m a majority of Calks such registra tion is absolutely ustless. If an election hod been b M in 1890 within fifty days from tbe first of January, 1890, then those who registered in 1895 would have been entitled to have their nines entered upon the lists of registered voters, but iu no case where tbe election is bell in 1890 after fifty days from the first of January will the registra tion of 1895 be of any service what ever. Yours very truly, J. M. Terrell. | Grand Jury Present ments. * We the Grand Jury, chosen aDd swora for the March Term 1896, of Pike Superior Court beg leave to make tbe following General Present ments ; Ist. vVe desire to congratulate the CouDty Commissioners and tbe Coun ty upon tbe completion of tbe new Court House. When we consider its cost it is a splendid and a lasting monument to the intelligence, pub lic spirit and honesty of the Commis sioners. There was a most pronounc ed med for a suitable and convenient Court House; that need has been met and satisfied, without the expen diture of a single unnecessary dollar.

We believe these olficers have been faith ful in the discharge of their respec- I tive duties. We find the records of County Commissioners well and satisfactorily kept. We find from the records of tbe County Court that said Court has disposed of seventy five criminal cases, since tbe last sessiou of our Superior Court, which is a great sav ing to our County. We heartily en dorse tbe action of bis excellency, the Governor, in tbe reappointment of tbe Hod. F. F. Dupree as Judge of said court, and we recommend that his salary be 400 dollars a year.
