OFFICIAL ORGAN OF THE COUNTY.
DAWSON, GA., Nov 18rH, 1896
bR Y e e
It seems there’s nothing the matter
with Hanna,
Those democrats who are being turn
ed out of office by the Cleveland admin
istration are acquiring valuable marks of
distinction.
¥An Ohiz man, arrested the other day
for bigamy, acknowledged that he had
seven wives, but ‘‘supposed it was all
right because he had changed his name
each time.”
Senator Hill is said to be ready to un
dertake the work of reorganizing the
democrcatic party. It may occur to
some people that the senator should be
gin by reorganizing himself,
Who said Tom Watson was not in it?
He will have 21 electoral votes for vice
presiden;. Men famous iz the country’s
history have run for vice-pretident and
gotten less. We congratulate Mr. ANat
son,
As a result of McKinley's election, the
Brunswick canuning factory will rerume
operations,.—Waycross Herald. Now
that does settle it. But so will the Fort
Valley factory—when the fruit season
begins, says the Macon News.
Mr. Branch has introdued a bill in the
legislature to make any kind of obliga
tion payable in any kind of legal tender
money of the United States, without re
gar'd to contract stipulations for pay
ment in any certain kind of money,
Through the efforts of Congressman
Bartlett a bill is to be introduced in the
Georgia house of representatives chang
ing the hours of election in this state so
as to allow all voting plazes to remain
open until 6 o’clock p. m., the same as
at the court house precinct. 4
Already reports of increased industry
in eastern factories are published, and
gold in consideracle quantities has been
offered in exchange for certificates and
other bills. This may be a part of the
republican campaign, but, neyertheless,
it will have a good effect upon the busi
ness of the country.
Hon. Ed. L. Wight has introduced a
joint resolution in the legislature to have
a commitltee consisting of two from the
house and one from the senate appoint
ed to have a portrait of the late Hon.
Charles F, Crisp painted and hung in
the capitol, aud appropriating one thous
and dollars, or so much thereof as mav
be necessary, to pay for the same.
A somewhat queer colony is to be
planted in North Carolina, it is said.
colonists are to come from Michigan,
and nobody is to be permitted in the
community who does not believe in and
speak up for free silver coinage at the
ratio of 16 to 1. It is to be hoped that
the colonists will not devote all of
their time to coinage and pone of it to
corn. :
Those nervous democrats who feared
that the influx of Union soldiers into
Georgia would change the political situa
tion of the state may have their fears
alayed by the announcement of the
Fitzgerald coluny’s vote in thke recent
election. Ac:ording to the Fitzgerald
Leader the election passed off very qui
etly in that city. There were 214 votes
cast, of which MecKinley rec ived 132,
Bryan 76, Levering 3. For representa
tive in coogress Milliken, populist, re
ceived 111, and Brantley, democrat,loo.
In Baltimore the other day a truck
driver saw a wounded bird upon the
ground and deliberately set about to cut
it to pieces with his horse whip. Be
fore he had fairly commenced, however,
a big blue-coat knocked the whip out of
his hand with Lis club and nrarched the
fellow off to the police station, to be
locked up on a charge of cruelty to ani
mals. It could be wished that all po
licemen were as prompt to protect ani
mals from cruelty, even though the un
fortunate acimal were as insignificant as
a little wounded bird. |
In the winter of 1895, when la grippe
was so pievalent, Mr. S T, Wiley, a well
known school teacher of Gibbon Glade,
Fayette Co., Pa., had a very severe at
tack. In order toget rid of it as quickly
as possible he purchased a bottle of
Chamberlain’s “ough Remedy, It gave
him pfompt and permanent relief. He
says: ‘‘Since then I haye used it when
ever attacked by any throat trouble, and
it has always effected a prompt cure, I
am very much pleased to certify to the
efficacy of this great ramedy.” For sale

A REMARKABLE GAMPAIGN.
The history of politics 1n this country
and elsewhere show nothing in the way
{of personal effort ¢ >mparable with the
{ carupaign of Mr. Bryan. He traveled
‘ nearly 19,000 miles, and made 600 speech
es, containing about 875,000 words, in
1447 towns and cities of twenty-seven dii
‘ ferent states to audiences aggregating
| wver 2,000 000 persops,
| No man of bis age probably was ever
before heard by so many people. As a
mere physical achievement his campaiguo
is without a paraliel. His longer speech
es were without exception aole presenta
tions of the principles f his platform
and lie never failed to arouse great en
thusiasm among his hearers. His audi
ence at Toledo numbered 40,000 and was
by far the largest cro~d of people ever
addressed by a candidate for president.
Mr. Blaine, in his remarkable campaign
of 1884, never had audiences anything
like as large as those which on several
’occasnons greeted \r, Bryan. When he
entered upon his campaign he was com
paratively unknown to the masses of the
people, and now there are few men in
the United States who have been seen
and heard by so many of his fellow citi
zens, Mr. Bryan sustained himself won
~derfully well, and it can hardly be doubt- J
‘ ed that he polled more votes and carried 1
more states than any other advocate of
the free and unlimited coinage of silver ;
possibly could.--Atlanta Journal. |

Nearly every Terrell farmer you meet !
will say 1896 has becn a poor crop year.
Yet you will scarcely find a farmer who
has not made nearly as much corn as the
1895 crop produced, has gathered his
cotton earlier, paid for his guano, has a
few.peas, enough syrup, potatoes, ete.,
to supply farm needs, and has enough
hogs to make plenty of meat. It may
be that the purse is not full of dollars,
but the fact remains that the crop, ta
ken all through, is one of the biggest
shoit crops eyer harvested in Terrell,
The farmers are not complaining very
loudly.

SENATOR STEVENS WANTS LESS
ELECTIONS IN GEORGIIA, . g
‘ |
And Introduces a Bill to Elect Congres =
men at Governor’s Election, |
Thinks It Will Pass, |
Hon. O. B. Stevens has introduced a
bill in the senate to change time of elect
ing congressmen in Georgia.
The “senator wants to decrease the
number of elections in Georgia, aud he
thinks the peopl: are with him. The
bill, should it become a law, would do
away wi'h an extra election every four
years, and would cause members of con
gress to be elected at the governor's
el ection every other year.
The bill chanyges the time for election
of congressmen from Tuesday after the
first Monday in November every two
years to the first Wednesday in October
every two years. Should it pass it would
cause a clecrease of only one election ev
ery four years, as the congressmen are
elected every other term of two years on
the same date that the piesidential elec
tors are voted for. :
Senator Stevens thinks his bill will be
‘passed by both houses.

POISOY IN THE SEED,
London Physician Charges That Cotton
Seeds Are Poisonous.
In the third edition of Dr. Blythe's
work on poison, which appeared some
time ago, and which has just been re
ceived in this country, thereis an article
on cotton seeds. In this article he states
that cutton seeds contain a poison of
which nothing is chemically known, ex
cept that it is poisonous.
Dr. Blyth 1s one of the best known
chemists, and is authority on poisons,
His works are read and studied by chem
ists throughout the world and the arti
cle referred to has attracted nmo small
amount of attention.
Dr. George F. Payne, state chemist of
Georgia, has answered the statement of
Dr. Blyth in regard to cotton seeds being
poisonous by an article which appeared
in the last edition of Chemical News, a
paper publishéd in ‘London and well
known throughout the world.
WOMEN DO NOT VYOTE.
Statistics Show They Do Not Care to Exor
cise the Right.i
The fiist eleclion in which the women
of Illin is participated was held in 1892,
and no less than 30,000 Chicago women
qualified to yote then. This was a strong
start, and neaily every body predicted
that the number of women voters would
increase with each succeeding state elec
tion. But instead of am increase in the
number of female voters in Chicago there
has been a heavy falling off, Though
the total registration of the city has far
exceeded that of 1802, and gone to the
eunormous sum 377,318, the registration
f women has fallen from above 30,000
10 5,725, We have seen no explanation
of this remarkable fact. It must staz
ger the advocates of woman’s suffrage.

The Discovery Saved His Life,
Mr. G. Cailouette, druggist, Beavers
ville, 111,, says: ‘“To Dr. King’s New
Discovery I owe my life. Was taken
with La Grippe and tried all the physi
‘cians for miles about but of no avail
and was given up and told I could not
live. Having Dr. King’s New Discovery
in my store I sent for a bottle and began
its use and from the first dose began to
get better, and after using three bottles
was up and about again. It's worth its
weight in gold. We won’t keep store or
house withous it.” Geta free trial at

Legislator’s Home Robbed,
The residence of Dr. H. M. Kaigler,
five miles from Georgetown, was entered
by thieves a night or two ago and cloth
ing, provisions and money amounting to
over $lOO were carried away. Dr. Kaig
ler is a member of the legislature and
