KIMSEY AND JOHNSON.
The Grand Jury saw fit, in its
recommendations, to endorse
Judge J. J. Kijnsey for re-election
as Judge of the Northeastern Cir
cuit. The Cracker takes this oc
casion to add its indorsement to
that of the Grand Jury, and hopes
that he will he re-elected ny the
next Georgia legislature. So far,
no one has been mentioned to op
pose him, and we presume there
will be no opposition. In any
event a better man could not
grace the bench than Judge
Kimaey.
The Grand Jury also recom
mended Mr. Fletcher M. Johnson
for Solicitor-General of the North
eastern circuit to succeed Hon.
Howard Thompson, f Vho has so
acceptably filled the position for
a number of years. Mr. Johnson
is eminently qualified for the
office, and would make an admir
able prosecuting officer, the state’s
interests being in competent
hands when entrusted to him.
The Cracker hopes the Georgia
legislature will elect Mr. Johnson,
and honor a man who deserves it.
HALL IS PROSPEROUS.
As will be seen by’!the;[general
presentments of the Grand Jury,
Hall county is in an excellent con
dition. It is out of debt, has
money in its treasury and has a
lower tax rate than three fourths
of the counties of the state. This
speaks w T ell for those who have
had the affairs of the county in
charge, and for the good people
who compose its citizenship.
Hall ranks far ahead of the
counties of North-east Georgia,
and far ahead of three fourths of
all the counties of the state. Her
people are good citizens, wise, con
servative and energetic, and stand
not back for others to say the
word, but progress with the times.
Much money has been spent in
various improvements by the
county, but the entire indebtedness
has been paid, and other improve
ments are going on.
The tax rate, 4.79 has been held
down by the County Commission
ers, and the people feel thankful
for it. They can persue their
daily avocations, and not be bowed
down with the thought that the
burdens of taxation are more than
they can bear. This comes large
ly from leaving the affairs of the
county in the hands of business
• men who have system and regular
ity in all that they do. hence theii
wise administration of the
county’s business.
The county bids fair to prosper
as never before. A good roads
movement has been inauguiateo,
and it is probable that the public
highways will be better kept than
ever. Necessity has forced the
letting of a contract for one new
bridge, and the probable erection
of others, thereby giving the peo
ple of other counties an oppor
tunity to come among us, an op
portunity many have not had
heretofore without great incon
venience occasioned by poor and
out-of-the-way ferries.
The future for Hall county looks
unusually flattering. A united
effort on the part of its citizens
will result in making this belief a
happy realization.
PEOPLE’S PARTY MEET-
Resolutions Adopted, and Dele
gates Appointed to State
Convention.
At a meeting of the People’s Party of
Hall county held in Gainesville, Ga.,
J. N. Twitty, Chairman of the County
Executive Committee, presiding, the
following persons were selected as del
egates and alternates to represent the
People’s Party of Hall county in the
approaching State Convention: Dele
gates: B. T. Brown, Dr. A. L. Nance,
W. D. Hawkins, J. T. Waters, I. F.
Duncan, J. B. Pool, J. N. Twitty, Dr.
A. J. Cavender; Alternates: Thomas
Tumlin, Capt, W. S. Cox, H. Kenedy,
Homer Thompson, Thomas Hulsey,
Braxton Buffington, Virgil C Thomp
son, H. H. Stephens.
The following resolutions were of
fered by Mr. W. D Hawkins and unan
imously adopted:
Whereas the People’s Party did
make a great blunder in its fusion with
Bryanism ctt St. Louis, Mo., in 1896,
thereby delaying the great work of
reform; therefore,
Resolved, 1st, We utterly reject
fusions and Bryanism in any and every
form but favor an early national con
vention and straight Populism to the
very letter.
2nd. We fully endorse the Omaha
and St. Louis platforms, and urge that
a thorough system of education be at
once begun and persevered in.
3rd. We fully endorse the action of
the Nashville Conference, and recom
mend the reorganization of our party
throughout every state in the union
4th. We favor the late action of our
State Executiye Committee, and rec
ommend that our truest and best in
formed men be selected in every county
in the state as delegates to our State
Convention to be held cn the 3rd, Wed
nesday in March.
5th. We favor the initiative, referen
dum and imperative mandate, and ask
every Populist in Georgia to send their
first choice for governor to John T. Full
wood, Cedartown, Ga.
6th. We condemn the action of the
Democrats in the last legislature in vot
ing against a bill prohibiting gold con
tracts in Georgia. Also for the enor
mous increase in taxes, and their fail
ure to give us a good law to enforce
honest elections, that would have pre
vented the crimes recently committed
in Augusta, Brunswick, Columbus, Ma
rietta, and other Georgia cities.
7th. We demand the election of
judges and solicitors by the people of
each judicial district. Also the election
of school officers by a direct vote of the
people.
8th. We instruct our delegates to the
State Convention to vote first, last, and
all the time for a straight middle-of-
the-road-policy, and that they see to it
that three national executive commit
teemen be elected that will carry that
idea into effect.
9th. We congratulate ourselves for so
pure, noble and fearless a leader as Tom
Watson, and endorse his course aud
commend him to Populists everywhere
and pledge him our hearty co-operation.
10th. That the Hon. T. E. Watson is
our choice for governor.
11th. That we invite all patriots who
feel that the politics of the old parties
are against the teachings of Jefferson,
Jackson and Lincoln, and extend a
hearty welcome to all those w T ho will
join us for patriotic purposes.
Towers of Babel.
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton is
opposed to tall buildings, and as
there is in contemplation the buil
ding of one by a rich syndicate of
80 stories high she is making her
protest against the modern tower
of Babel through the press.

At New Bedford, Mass.., nine
thousand cotton mill operatives
are out of employment. The sit
uation is everything but pleasant
to the laborers. The enly perma
nent solution to such a state of
affairs is for owners of these mills
to bring them to the cotton fields
of Georgia.
