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 Times. _____ Buck leu's Arnica Salve. The Best Salve in the w;orld for Cuts, Bruises, Sores, Ulcers, Salt Rheum.

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 gars description.
