Official Organ City of Gainesville
Gainesville, Ga., sept., lO, 1902
A GOOD TIME TO BEGIN.
There seems to be, a general de
I . -> - ' - 5 1 ’A..
sire on the part of the citizens
Gainesville to eliminate the negro
from our city politics. This is
jbealthy sentiment, and is in line
with the plan adopted in nearly
all the principal towns and cities
of this state. That the negro has
not been shut out long ago is our
misfortune, for he has no place in
the selection of those who admin
ister the affairs of our municipal
ity. He is here to be bought at so
much per head, and the unscrupu
lous politician, with plenty of the
filthy lucre, can get him by paying
the price, and thus demoralize the
race, disgust the best citizens, tan
talize the whole community, ana
create untold friction where peace
should abound. The sooner we
eliminate the “brother in black,”
the better for us ’twill be.
This is no new idea to us, though
some of our citizens have been
long time getting to the point
Five years ago, after a campaign
of disgusting toadying to the negro
for his vote by the opposing fac
tions in a heated contest, this pa
per phaded for a change from the
vicious system. What was saic
evidently fell upon deaf ears, for
the practice has been kept up. anc
is still in vogue. Whether
change will now be made rests with
the citizens.
Vote buying and vote selling is
an evil we must abate in some
form or another. A good way to
get rid of a heap of it in our city
politics is to have a white pri
mary.
THE SUPREME COURT JUDGE-
SHIP.
Associate Justice H. T. Lewis
has resigned from the Supreme
hench, and last Friday Governor
^Candler appointed Judge George
F. Gober to serve until October
1st., when an election will be held
to elect his successor. Judge Go
ber did not want the empty honor,
-especially since he has a four years
term on the superior court bench
to play with and, therefore, de
clined. Governor Candler then
appointed Col. Samuel B. Adams
of Savaunah, one of the brainiest
lawyers in Georgia, who has ac
cepted.
Tho state executive committee
met Monday and decided not to
have a primary, unless a Populist
•or Republican should offer for
election. Judge John S. Candler,
Judge W. It. Hammond and Judge
Dick Russell are candidates for
the longterm.
DUR RAPID GROWTH,
'borne idea of the immense
^growth of the United States since
1850 is given in a monograph just
issued by the Treasury Bureau of
Statistics. It is shown that the
area has grown from 827, 844
square miles in 1800 to 3,025,600
square miles in 1900, exclusive of
Alaska,, and the islands belonging
to the United States. The nonuL
ation per squaie mile, which was
3,6 in 1810, was 26.1 in 1902. The
total wealth has grownfrom seven
billion dollars in 1850 to an esti
mated 94 billion dollars in 1900,
and the per capita wealth from
#307 in 1850 to $1,235 in 1900, In
1800 the public debt was $15 per
capita; in 1840 it had fallen to 21
cents per capita; m 1852 it
$2.67 per capita; 1861, before the
beginning of the war, $274, and
the» mounted rapidly until it be
came $77.98 per capi ta in 1866,
gradually falling again after the
war. It is $12.97 in 1902.
The money in circulation
amounted to $13.85 per capita in
1860, and in 1902, 28,40 per capita,
the highest point that it has ever
reached. Deposits in savings
banks have amounted to $1,138,576
in 1820, and $2,597,094,580 in 1901.
The individual deposits in nation
al banks have grown from $500,
910,878 ljn 1865 to $3,111,690,196
in 1902.
The number of' farms increased!
The College Boys.
In the course of the-next few
weeks, a good many of the Gaines
ville boys will leave for the re
spective colleges at which they
will attend. Quite a number go

George Telford. Waldo Marion
and Leo Hudson, who went last
year, will return, and Messrs. Aus

also enter. Messrs. Kelsey Dozier,

657 in 1900; the value of farm
property from four billions to
twenty billions, and the value of
their product, which was not meas
ured until 1870, grew from $1,958,-
000,000 in that year to 3,764,000,-
000 in 1900.
The value of farm animals in
creased from $544,000,000 in 1850
to $2,981,000,000 in 1900. The
value of the product of the manu
facturing industries grew from
one billion dollars in 1850 to thir
teen billion in 1900; the number
of people employed therein grew
from less than 1,000,000 to six and

exceptions, shown equal gains.

Mr. John Schofield Dies,
Mr. John Schofield, superinten
dent of the Moultrie cotton mills,
died Monday at his home in Moul
trie, Ga. Mr. Schofield was a res
ident of Gainesville before he
moved to Moultrie and was here
about two weeks ago with his bro

He made many friends while here
who will regret to hear of his

Grading the Streets.
The grading of the streets has
been progressing finely for the
past few weeks but it has been
stopped this week on account of
rain. Green street which has been
graded almost its entire length,
and part of Washington street are
almost impassable on account of
the mud. This is, of course a nui
sance to the citizens, but* they
cannot help but feel that “the
darkest hour is just before dawn”.

To Decide Definitely.

Mrs. Bell Entertains.
Mrs. Joe Bell entertained the
Thursday Morning Card club, Sat
urday morning, at her home on
Green "street. The affair was a
**
most delightful one, card playing
being the special feature, and the
prize, a “Venetian Scene,” was
won by Miss Mamie Simmons. The
occasion will ever be remembered
as one of the most pleasant in the
was ] history of the T. M. C. club.
I often by the members of the First Bap-
j tist church in the past few months, and
| at the meeting next Sunday afternoon
they will, in all probability, settle the
question permanently.
Most of the merchants who went
East this fall to buy their fall goods,
have returned. Messrs R. E. Andoe,
Harry Bell, and G. F. Turner returned
yesterday, Mr. Herschel V. Johnson
came back last week, and Mr. Geo. P.
Estes will return the latter part of this
week. They have quite an extensive lot
of fall goods and are now prepared to
offer to the people the best goods of the
eastern markets.
A Revival.
A revival service is being conducted
this week at the Second Baptist church
on Chestnut street by Rev. J.C. Otwell.
The meeting was begun Sunday and a
great many people have already joined
the church. The meetings have been
well attended regardless of the weath-
and they have prospects of a fine re
vival. .*
