Reminiscences of Early Days in
North Georgia.
Rev. W. J. Cotter In Chataworth (Go,) Time*.
Few people living then are alive to
day. The name had first been changed
from the Cherokee Nation to Hall, my
native county. I was there when the
county was laid off and named, and 1
waa there in 1838 when the Indiana left.
When the soldiers came to move them
1 delivered the first corn for their horses
at Ft. Gilmer, Rock Spring, or the Car
ter place. They were handled gently
by the soldiers, and it was a sad sight
to see them leave their native land;
but it was for their lasting good. The
educated Indian girl's goodbye was,
“Farewell to Cohutta's high peak in
the dale! Farewell to Sumach’s bright
stream in the vale! Farewell to the lone
spot where my kindred sleep. For them
alone the willow must weep."
The county-site was first known as
Van's, for Soe Van, who built the brick
house. 1 remember him. He left in
1834. The Moravians came in 1817 and
built at the Rig Spring. They named
the place Spring i’lace, and left in 1830.
After both left I spent many nights in
the brick house, und a few in the mis
sion home. When the county was or
ganized the capitol was named I’oinsett.
The people did not like the name, and
continued to call it Spring I’lace.
All the good that comos to Murray
county brings joy to me. 1 was glad to
see the petition of your noble jurors
asking.Judge Fite to present it to the
Governor for State-wide prohibition.
The grand jury is an index to the coun
ty's intelligent nnd honorable citizens.
Now, let mo respectfully suggest a
name for your county’s capital a name
that links you with the American Rev
olution. The name is Elias Doudinot,
who was born at Philadelphia, Pa.,
May 2, 174(1, and died at Burlington, N.
J., Oct. 21, 1821. He was a member of
the Continental Congress in 1777, and
in 1782 was its president, in which ca
pacity the following year he signed the
treaty of peace with Great Britain.
From 1785 to 1806 he was director of
the United States mint at Philadelphia.
He wus the first president of the
Americun Bible Society, guve much of
his means to charity, and wrote a book
in reply to Thomas Paine’s “Age of
Reason," with the title, "Ago of Rev
elation."
And yet there is another honored
nume linked with the first. More
than one hundred years ago there was
born an Indian boy in the heart of the
Cherokee Nation, on the Coosnwatteo,
and this baby Indian possessed a great
mind. Diamonds are found in yellow
dirt, but the polished hand of the
skilled lapidary can make them shine
and sparkle, gems of great price. The
dark ages of heathendom had almost
frozen the genial current of his soul,
but under his yellow skin wus a dia
mond mind of the first water, and in
some way a faint spark of light shone
upon his intellect, and as it increased
he wus led to the mission school at
Cornwell, in Connecticut. There, by
close application, he developed a high
state of intellectual and moral culture,
and commended himself to the wise nnd
good. He asked of Mr. Boudinot if he
might assume 1 hits name, and the re
quest wus granted. He won and wed
Miss Harriet Gold of an excellent fum-
ily. The noble Indian came buck at once
to help his own people, und was sue
ccssful in more ways than one. He be
came the chief editor of The Cherokee
Phoenix, lived in a commodious house,
was visited by some of the best people in
the State—especially from Washington,
Ga. The newspapers of that day teemed
with praises of his noble hospitality.
His fuilhful wife was truly a helpmeet
in all his work, but died in 1836—taken
from the evil to come, us the sequel
will tell. Her grave is well marked at
New Echota. In 1838 he went with his
people to their new home in the West.
While working to build a house for his
motherless children in 1838, by venge
ful savages he was cut to pieces with
knives. On the same day Major Ridge
nnd his son, John, were killed, because
they favored removal to the West. So
Boudinot died as a martyr to his peo
pie. His son, Elias Cornelius Boudinot
was a lieutenant-colonel in the Confed
erate army, and loyal to the land of his
fathers.
Thtre is not a drop of ignoble blood
in the veins of a Cherokee. They are
capable of the highest cultivation of in
tellect and morals. In proof of this
they have advanced in civilization till
they are now denationalized, and are
bona fide citizens of the United States,
entitled to all the privileges of citizen
ship.
On the Warpath.
Mmllann M«dl»onlAn.
The following “hot stuff is from a
recent LaGrange Graphic:
“The editor is a very necessary ad
junct. Necessary when you want fa
vorable mention of yourself or any
of your folks. Necessary when a lit
tle angel makeB its advent into the
world. Necessary when you want a
double column notice of your daughter’s
brilliant wedding. Necessary when
you want a column and a half of slush
about some old hypocrite when he dies.
Necessary when you want to see your
self boosted as a great big nobody; but
the editor is not worth your considera
tion when he asks you to pay what yi u
owe on subscriptions. If that is the
way you think about it, or if that is
not the way you think about it, send us
along the dollar you Owe, and you will
feel better. That is, if you have any
conscience. If you have no conscience,
send it along anyhow, and we will feel
a whole lot better.”
This is a unique manner in which to
“dun” folks. What a pity that folks
need to be reminded of their debts any
way! Why not walk up like men and
pay notes and accounts when due? The
people arc growing worse and worse
about paying debts, anyway. Time
was when our forefathers would ride or
walk through snow or sleet, hail or
rain, hot or cold, to pay a bank note
the day it was due. There are a few
people who are still as prompt in meet
ing their honest obligations— a few
only. A vast number of people think
if they fiay a note any old time they
are doing well.
In discussing this situation with one
of our local merchants the other day he
said that it requires about two years to
collect for that which he sells in one;
that one year’s credit is not now suffi
cient; that most people want two years.
The credit system is the bane of the
South, and The Madisonian doesn’t
blame The Graphic editor for occasion
ally going on the war-path after his de
linquents.
Gov. Harris Signs Prohibition
Bills.
Atlanta, Nov. 20.— A complete triple
victory for the Prohibitionists of Geor
gia, leaving nothing to be desired from
their point of view, is embodied in the
three new prohibition bills which Gov.
Harris has signed, and which will be
come laws on May 1, 1016. They will
give Georgia, in their combined effect,
one of the most stringent and radical
prohibition laws ever passed by any
State in the Union, not even excepting
Alabama. The first bid called the “om
nibus bill,” absolutely prohibits the
sale of liquors, wines or beer or near-
beer in Georgia, and prohibit their man
ufacture as well. It even limits to a
minimum amount per month the quan
tity of whiskey which a man may have
in his own home for personal use. The
second bill is called the anti-shipping
bill, and prohibits the shipment into the
State, or from one point to another in
the State, of any kind of liquor or beer,
excepting only the minimum amounts
to be used by private individuals. The
third measure, regarded by many as
the most radical of all, absolutely pro
hibits the advertising of any liquor,
wines or beers in the State. This in
cludes not only papers and publications
printed in the State of Georgia, but
means that no national magazines or
out-of-State papers can be Bold at all in
Georgia until all liquor, wine and beer
ads. have been clipped out bodily, or
covered with lampblack by the dealers.
CLEANSE THE BIPOD BEFORE WINTER
Free yourself from the menace of bud health when the cold and

Eczema are worse in winter. Take S. S. S. now.

“Charge It!”
Brown wagered White $10 that ho
could ask ten men the Hame question,
and all would answer it in the same
way. White took the bet.
Brown’s question wus: “Have you
heard thut, Smith is dead?" All ten men
answered by saying: "What Smith?”
And that’s how Brown made $10.
It is very nearly a safe wager, up to
nny amount, that the most frequently
used phrase in many places, especially
large cities, is “Charge it!” Those two
words are Hung across the c 1 unters of
stores thousands of times every day.
"Charge it!” snys milady huuglitily
when she buys a live-hundred dollur
ring.
“Charge it!” timidly whispers the
poor woman in exchange for her o-cent
loaf.
“Charge it!” write half the guests of
hotels andjall the members of the clubs
for everything they get.
“Charge it!” mutters the furtive
eyed, sorrowful-looking habitue of the
corner saloon as he edges toward the
door, wiping a bit of foam from his
lips.
“Charge it!” is the only currency
that passes in hundreds of mercantile
transactions daily and for all kinds of
commodities, from the little boy’s
school pencil to daddy's newest limous
ine.
And this "Charge it!” habit is one of
the things that adds at least 5 per cent,
to the cost of existence, economists
say.

The following card of thanks recently
appeared in a Kansas paper:
”1 wish to thank the city authorities
for quarantining my family and me for
three weeks recently because one of
them had smallpox. During that time,
my wife caught up with her sewing,
we had three square meals a day; as no
one came in and she was not permitted
to go out, we enjoyed three weeks of
good night’s sleep. And best of all, a
cousin with four children had arranged
to visit us, but saw the smallpox sign
on the door and left town so scared
that she will never come back again.
So for these and other blessings, we
are very thankful for the quarantine.’’

Advice of this character has been
given by our trained specialists year
after year as summer began to wane
and the coming of Fall heralded the
time when storms and cold are
near. We rppeat this warning
here. Sufferers from Catarrh will un
doubtedly find the symptoms much
aggravated as Winter approaches.
With the first chill blasts the Rheu
matism lets itself be felt. There are
forms of winter Eczema—one in par
ticular — called Tetter that causes
real suffering when cold weather
comes. The mere aches and minor
pains of Rheumatism not only change
in winter, but the changes nre apt to
be so decided in their violence as to
cause the most Intense suffering. Hor
rible aching pains In the limbs, in the
back, in the joints, even rheumatic
pains in the head and face sometimes
supposed to be neuralgia. Catarrh is
back again, more intense than last
winter with the continual hawking and
spitting, headaches, dripping of
phlegm in the nose and throat, the
stopped air passages and the
odor from the breath. Is it
foetid
not a
common-sense thing to do to avoid
these troubles, to eradicate them from
the system when it can be so easily
done with a positive remedy such as
S. S. S.? Remember, first of all, that
the troubles we mention are blood
troubles—deep-seated ones. Laugh at
the man who recommends lotions,
salves and local medicines. The trou
ble must be washed out of the blood.
Thousands of people have been perma
nently relieved of blood and skin dis
ease of every kind by the use of
S. S. S., and many of those who, per
haps, at first did not find the results
entirely satisfactory, wrote our physi
cians a full statement of their case,
and a little advice hastened the relief.
The only reason for wanting you to
write us Is that we may use every ef
fort to see that you get the best re
sult from the medicine. You can then
help us by advising your friends to use
S. S. S., which you will know from ex
perience is all we claim for it. You
can write with the assurance that all
correspondence Is held In strictest con
fidence. and that our physicians will
give you helpful advice without
charge. For sale at all drug stores.
