Now for u Big Victory.
Everything now points to the tri
umphant election of Grover Cleveland
next Tuesday.
Let no democrat fail to vote, and
the great victory of the state election
will be confirmed.
From all over the Union comes the
most cheering news for democracy.
There is only one Democratic ticket
in New York City and that is backed
by the full power of Tammany Ilal!.
Never were the democrats of Now
York more harmonious nor in better
command of the situation. This meaus
that New York is going Democratic.
A. S. McClure, of the Philadelphia
Times, one of the closest and most in
dependent political observers, says that
the republicans have given New York
up. The Herald says the republicans
in the interior of the state will not
give Harrison his usual majority, while
the city’s tremendous registration
means a greater democratic majority
there. So that New York State may
be set down as safe for Cleveland.
New Jersey is always democratic,
and it is figured that the following
votes are certain for Cleveland : New
York 36, New Jersey 10, Southern
States 159—total 205.
Michigan chooses her electors by
congressional districts, and the repub
licans concede four to the democrats,
raising the total to 209. Fourteen
more votes are required to elect. In
diana is claimed as certainly demo
cratic, which would give one more than
necessary.
Then there are the following States
which are more than likely to be dem
ocratic than republican this year, ac
cording to the best - estimates that can
be made: California 8, Connecticut 6,
Illinois 22, Wisconsin 11.
More sanguine calculators figure on
Massachusetts and lowa going for
Cleveland, but democrats are satisfied
with the above showing for obtaining
223 electoral votes.
It may be a landslide.
Go out—
And help make it so.
It is strange bow some newspapers,
as well as people, can only see their
side of a question and understand one
way, no matter what the facts may be.
Atlanta boasts newspapers that are
“especially gifted” in this direction. A
statement was sent them this week by
a prominent citizen, placing the credit
for the capture of the murderers of
Capt. Sloan where it justly belongs.
They not only paid no attention to
it, but the Constitution actually came
out in the next issue and gave all of
the credit to Atlanta’s Detective force.
It’s Atlanta “first, last and always”
with these newspaper.
Don’t think your vote will not be
needed next Tuesday, but be on
hand and help make the dual victory
sure.

The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting directly
upon the blood and mucous surfaces of
the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up the
constitution and assisting nature in do
ing its work. The proprietors have so
much faith in its curative powers, that
they offer One Hundred Dollars for
any case that it fails to cure. Send for
list of testimonials.
Address, F. J. Cheney & Co Toledo,
O.
by Druggists, 75c,
A WORD OF COMMENDATION
For the Efficient Officers Who by
Their Efforts Captured the Mur
derers of Capt. A<lam C. Sloau.
The murder of Adam C. Sloan was
one of the most attrocious and fiend
ish crimes ever perpetrated in Henry
county, and all our people feel more
safely now that the perpetrators have
been ferreted out and brought to jus
tice.
In this connection it will not be amiss
we think to speak of the part enacted
in this tragedy by those great aids to
and upholders of law—the detectives,
for the part they took forms one of the
most striking features in the history of
the case.
It is a well known fact that the fam
ily and enraged citizens jointly offered
a reward of SI,OOO for the apprehen
sion of the murderer or murderers with
proof sufficient to convict, arid although
every effort was put forward at the
time it appeared that the guilty parties
would go unpunished.
Daniel Webster gave utterance to
a truth that is being substantiated every
day, aud was in this case : “Murder
will out.” Although this act was com
mitted in the dead hours of uight,
wheu darkness hung heavy*over earth,
and all mankind was wrapped in slum
ber, and though the assassins with
cunning shrewdness endeavored to
cover the crime in mystery, still they
left behind them signs which when un
raveled by an expert gave a clue that
lead to their appreoeusiou and finally
to their conviction.
After the reward was offered our
efficient Sheriff, to whom great credit
is due for the aid aDd assistance ren
dered in bringing these bloody-handed
criminals to justice, went to Atlanta
aud laid the case aud Burroundiug cir
cumstances before tbe Atlanta Detec
tive force, who refused to take any ac
tion in the matter at that time, so we
have been informed, unless guaranteed
a certain fee for their services whether
they proved successful or not. This
proposition was, of course, not accept
ed.
At last the attention of Detective
Ike Gimble, of the Alabama Midland
railway, was attracted to the case, aud
ho at once decided to make some inves
tigations. The history of how he,
through the aid of Sheriff Glass and
his negro assistant, Bill Williams, suc
ceeded in gaining a confession from the
murder, is already upon every body’s
lips, therefore it is useless for us to go
into a recital of the same.
After Gimble’s success in tracing the
negro, Jim Schaefer, down, then the
Atlanta detectives became interested
and succeeded in capturing Ben Bivins;
but to Ike Gimble, of Alabama, the
the credit of bringing the murders of
this aged arid honored gentleman to
justice, is due.
“Honor to whom honor is due.”
Dwellings Burned.
Two serious fires have occurred in
our county during the past week.
The first was the residence of ’Squire
Charles Patterson, near Tunis, on Sun
day night last, the 30th ult. The
building together with all of the house
hold effects of this worthy family were
consumed. The origin of the fire is
unknown. Mr. Patterson's loss is
very heavy, as he was carrying no in
surance.
The second was the dwelling of Mr.
Q. A. Dickson, situated on his farm
about a half mile north of the public
square, on the Atlanta road, known as
the Judge Allen Stewart old home
place. This fire occurred on Tuesday
morning 'ast, between the hours of nine
and ten o’clock. It originated up
stairs, and had gained such headway
when discovered that it was impossible
to check its advauces, or succeed in re
moving but a small amount of the
household effects. Mr. Dickson was
in town when the alarm was given, and
he, together with a number of friends,
succeeded iu arriving rm the scene in
time to save all of the out buildings.
Mrs. Dickson was at home, but not iu
the house, and therefore failed to dis
cover the fire before it had become un
controllable. This was also a total loss
to Mr. Dickson, he not carrying any
insurance.
These gentlemen, and their families,
have the sympathy of their numerous
friends in their heavy losses.
Primary Elections.
The people of Henry county are
confronted with one of the most pecu
liar circumstances that has ever trans
pired in their political history.
On last Tuesday both the Demo
cratic and People’s party Executive
Committees met at this place, and both
bodies assembled for the same purpose,
viz : To set apart a day for holding a
primary for county officers.
Both were in session at the same
time, and strange to say, each appoint
ed and set aside the same day for hold
ing the primaries. This brings about
an occurrence ueyer before witnessed
in our county and without a precedent,
so far as we can learn, in state history:
Two separate and distinct elections be
ing held at each voting precinct iu the
county at the same time.
Both primaries are called for Satur
day, the 3rd of December next.
A CHILD SUFFERS,
■
While Its Father Refuses Relief for
It from the Doetors.
The following special wliieli appear
ed in the Constitution a t> w days ago, 1
will be read with interest by the ciii
zens of Henry county, as the party re
ferred to formerly lived in Sandy
Ridge district, where lie was well
known :
Athens, Ga., Oct. 26.—Watkinsville
is considerably stirred up over what
seems to be a case of faith cure crimi
nal carelessness—at least that is the
aspect of the story that comes from
there.
The story is to the effect that Rev.
J. 8. Cowan, the evangelist who goes
over the country trying to out-Jones
Sam Jones himself, Las a little four
year old child whose little life is being
literally consumed with something like
scurvey, and who is absolutely refused
medical attention at all.
Cowan is a faith cure crank, and
has been engaged for some time in
trying to establish a faith cure asylum
in Florida. His little child has been
an invalid for a long time. For mouths
and months the disease has been grow
ing worse, until now the report is that
the little one’s teeth have all fallen
out and the leading physician says its
jaw bones are decayed almost entirely
and will soon come out. The little
body is covered all over with sores and
ulcers. When, in this condition, the
helpless child cries for relief its father
simply tells it to go pray.
It is said that when the neighbors
call to interest the father and mother
to have the child treated by a physi
cian that no attention is paid to them,
aud that the child is watched as close
ly as a hawk watches chick
ens, to see that no one slips medicine
to it. An old negro woman stole it
out the other day and was touching its
affected parts when its mother, who
holds to the same senseless faith as its
father, found her and abused her terri
bly.
'The citizens are becoming very in
dignant over the affair and declare
they will interfere. Cowan was licensed
to preach in Watkinsville something
over a year ago for one year on the
conditions that if he showed up all
right his liceuse would be reuewed, but
when he presented them for renewal
about two mouths ago he was ques
tioned on Lis faith cure religion aud
after making a statement the credeu
tials were promptly cancelled. This
story was printed in the Constitution
at the time.
Cowan held a meeting here last
spring and was boycotted by both the
local papers on account of his whole
sale attack on the ministers of the city,
because they advised against open air
meetings on account of measles aud
other diseases being prevalent in the
city at the time. Ho is reported as
saying that nothing shall be done for
his child other than what he can do
through his faith methods ; that if God
wants to take it He can do so.
He claims to have cured a number
of people, one a man at Stone Moun
tain, of consumption, by his faith
process. This story was given me by
several of tbe most responsible people
in this section, some of whom have vis
ited the Cowan home to plead with th 9
parents to do something for the child.
Wasps in Church.
The Methodist church iu this city is
infested with wasps, and several ladies
have been stung by them recently,
while attending services there.
It is deplorable that McDonough
caunot furnish a better house of wor
ship. What has become of our “new
church” enthusiasm? We learn that
the lady members have decided to take
the matter in hand, raise the money
and build a new church. We fully
believe that if they will take charge of
the work they will be more successful
than the male members, and the new
church will he built.
May their every effort be blessed
with success.
Who will be the first to come for
ward with a good sized subscription ?

A Card of Thanks.

friends who contiibuted to my relief
from my sore calamity on last Tuesday.

loss as I have sustained, but if ever
either of those who sought to save my
property from the flames or contribu
ted to my financial relief shall need
my assistance iu the future I shall be
happy to aid them as far as it is in my
power to do so. With deepest grati
tude I remain, Your friend,

CATARRH
Is a most loathsome, dangerous, and preva
lent malady. It Is a blood disease, usually
ot Scrofulous origin, and for which local
treatment is useless. Before health Is pos
sible, the poison must be eradicated from
the system, and to do this
SUCCESSFULLY
the disease must be treated through the
blood. For tills purpose no remedy is so
effective as Ayer’s Sarsaparilla.
“ For tlie past eight years, I have been
severely afflicted with Catarrh, none, of the
many remedies I tried affording me any re
lief. My digestion was considerably im
paired, and my sleep disturbed by phlegm
dropping into my throat. In September

began to use it at once, and am glad to
testify to a great improvement in my health.”
