SIDE REMARKS
BY THE IRON CITY NEWS OF
CEDARTOWN, GA.
ANENT THE CAMPAIGN
EVERETT ONLY RECEIVED 502
VOTES IN HIS COUNTY
Alter Weeks and Months of Dram
ming, Pleading and Threatening
With Two Thousand Voters—
Felton’s Majority 500!!!
The long agony is over, and after near
three years nursing, drumming, whipping
in and corralling his forces, the “Baron
of Antioch” comes out with 502 voters in
old Polk who express themselves as wil
ling to see him go to congress —a lame
show we think, when it is
that Polk has a voting capacity of not
l<jss than 2.000. This indicates that at
the election in November be will not be
able to rally more than one-third of the
voters of the county to his support, and
with “Etowah Bill” in the ring, this
means good-bye, “Robert William.”
You are left by at least 500 majority in
old Polk, so stand up, my boy. and take,
jour medicine like a little man.
If the Cpdartown Standard, organ of
the “BaroD of Antioch,” will consider
before hastening to conclusions, it will
find that the Democratic mass meeting
held in the court house Inst Saturday
week was composed of the leading citi
zens of old Polk, and a large number of
them.
t
If the Alliance is a representative of de
mocracy, why is it that the candidates
put out by that secret, oatli-bound organ
ization are all Alliancemeu ? And again,
why is it that Democrats who are not
members of the “mystic circle” are not
allowed a say so in the selection of candi
dates?
The “baron,” we contend, is not run
ning for congress on the democratic plat
form. Democracy means a government
of the people and for the people and
not the government of the people, by a
clique for the benefit of a class.
Felton made the grandest and noblest
speech to the convention to-day that
ever the old Seventh listened to. Hurrah
for the great Democratic cbieftian!
We .understand that the “Baron of
Antioch” is opposed to the sub-treasury
bill. What will you do with him, broth
er alliancemeu, lay him by on the shelf ?
The Standard presents the Baron of
Antioch as “the farmers’ candidate for
congress.” Right you are, boys, tell it
again! The Demociats have put up a
hero in the person of W. 11. Felton.
Barbucue at Taylorsville.
Oa last Saturday the Alliance had a
big. barbecue at TaylorsviHe. Speeches
were made by Tom Lyons, the whipper
in of Bartow county; T. Warren Akins,
the barker for said Lyons and R W.
Everett, the man who pulls the string
that makes the above two worthies
dance.
It was thought, being Everett’s day,
that he would have a majority, but when
the crowd was polled it was found to be
evenly divided, between Evert tt and
Felton. •
There is no two ways about it, Felton
is rapidly gaining ground, and it looks as
ii he would be elected by the biggest ma
jority ever given a candidate in the
Seventh. ,
Oh, no, the Farmers’ Alliance, as man
aged by the bosses, is not a third party,
but candidate for Congress W. T. Tal
bert, of South Carolina, gets off the fol
lowing, nevertheless: “When a man joins
the Alliance he takes a solemn obligation
to do a good many things. If he fails to
do them he violates the obligation.
Amongst other things, when he joins he
solemnly swears to support and protect
the principles of the Alliance. Now, this
sub-Tre3sury scheme has been adopted
and endorsed by both our National and
State Alliances. It is one of the prin
ciples of the Alliance, and the Alliance
man who refuses to support that prin
ciple violates his obligation. He who
refuses to be governed by this principle
violates his gating.” Brunswick

The Susquehanna river rises in cen
tral New York, and flowing southward
enters the northwestern corner of Penn
sylvania, near Great Bend, Susque
hanna county, and taking a westerly
coarse follows closely the boundary
line of the two states. Ranges of hill*,
rising almost to the dignity of mount
ains, skirt its banks on either side and
present a rough, ragged and rocky sur
face, so that cultivation is almost out
of the question; but wild and hilly and
barren as it was in many parts, the
pioneers of the country, intent on se
curing homes and farms and a living
somewhere in that region, found here
and there a valley and a naming
stream and a flat place where they
could plant a house mid clear up a-few
acres of land for farming.
- Among those streams is one named
Snake creek, which, rising In a beauti
ful lake near Montrose, meanders
•trough a valley and finds its way Into
the Susquehanna about twelve miles
from the lake in which' it rises. This
creek was so named by'Oik early settlers
because of the fact that, while bears
and wolves and other ferocious beasts
were very numerous in all that region,
snakes were conspicuously more numer
ous. One of the highest hills, whose
head rises well up into the sky, was
named Blue Top, because the large and
luscious blue whortleberries were found
on it in large quantities. The large
rattlesnake was found there, as he Is
today, neorly as plentiful as the berries,
and in the season of ripe berries he Is
exceedingly restive and hostile to all
Intruders.
On Buake creek, a few miles above
its mouth, an old man of the name of
Chalker lives all alone, who is so familiar
with the snakes that by common con
sent he is. called Bnake Chalker. His
largo farm lies along the creek, extend
ing up either aide to the very top of the
hills. On one occasion, while passing
that way, the writer hitched his horse
at his gate and went in to see him.
Hanging up all around the old fash
ioned fireplace I observed wliat ap
peared to be dressed eels proparing for
the table. They were exceptionally
large of the kind, and I asked where he
canght such large eels.
“Eels?” said he. “Those are my rat
tlesnakes. ”
“And what are you going to do with
them ?”
“Eat them. They are much finer
than eels.”
Passing toward his back door he
said:
“Come out and see what I have in
the yard.”
In the yard were snakes by the score
—all kinds, but blackonakes and rat
tlesnakes in great numbers. How he
caught them, how he put them where
they were, he explained as follows:
“You see those tubs, as I call them,
In which I keep them ? These are hol
low logs sawed off about ten feet,
burned out and made smooth inside, so
the snakes can’t get out. Iplaceoneend
of the log or tub about five feet in the
ground. I then put the snakes down,
about twenty or thirty in each tub, and
keep them, feeding them every day until
I want to use them. Snakes, you know,
come out of their dens on warm, pleas
ant days and lie on the rocks to sun
themselves. I cut a small stick with a
short crotch at one end. I approach
them quietly, and placing the crotch
on the snake’s neck hold it firmly down
until I put a stout, pin through his lips.*'
Then twisting it about so he can’t open
his mouth or bite I fill my pockets or
a basket and take them home and re
plenish my tubs. When I want a snake
to eat or sell I slip a noose over bis
head and bring him up.”—New York,
Sim.
Advertising Does Pay.
Years ago, when Henry Grady was
struggling to bring the Rome Commer
cial into front ranks, he came one day and
asked the Rounsaville Brothers for an ad
vertisement. Mr. J. W. Rounsaville re
plied: “Why, Grady, nobody reads your
paper, it is of no use to advertise in it.”
A happy thought suggested itself to Mr.
Gradv. He went ti his office and wrote
the following advertisement, which ap
peared nevt morning in the Commercial:
“Wanted, fifty cats, liberal price for the
same. Apply to Rounsaville Brothers.”
Well, the picture that presented itself at
Rounsavnlle’s corner next morning beg

sizes, boys of all tints, from the fair-haired
youth to the sable Ethiopian, Imre, foot
