CANDLER'S SCORCHER.
The following letter written by
Hon. Allen D. Candler to a citizen
of Rome, and published- Wednes
day in The Rome Tribune has cre
ated a sensation in political cir
cles all over the state. It is
written m Colonel Candler’s char
acteristic style, and has stirred up
jhe politicians as nothing else has
done. It is expected that Hon.
Spencer R. Atkinson will now an
nounce his candidacy for Governor
to oppose Colonel Candjer. The
letter largely arrays the support
ers of Governor Atkinson in the
Evans-Atkinson campaign against
Colonel Candler, which means,
doubtless, another bitter ana
exciting campaign.
The letter is as follows :
' “Without any solicitation on my
part I find myself a candidate for
the Democratic nomination for
Governor of Georgia* The men
who are behind the movement are
not the professional politicians,
“the men who control,” but the
rank and file of our party, the
great middle class who pay the
the taxes and bear the burdens of
government. I have never seen
such an uprising of the common
people in my life. It is a rebellion
against the men and their meth
ods who ravished the Democratic
party in 1894 and have dominated
it ever since, the men who by
methods peculiar to themselves
deprived Gen. Evans of the nomi
nation after he had fairly won it.
“I was against them and their
methods then and they are against
me now. I therefore feel at liberty
to call on those who stood with
me by Gen. Evans in that contest
to stand by me now. We fought
them in the same phalanx for pure
Democracy and clean methods
with Gen. Evans as our leader.
Now that the same flag has been
put into my hand, and I am bat
tling as he did for the same prin
ciples, I invoke that support for
myself that we all gave the general
at that time. Then by political
trickery we lost, now by united
action and honest methods we will
win. We are right and the people
are with us. Many who were with
the tricksters and traders then,
disgusted with their methods, are
w r ith us now. Let us, therefore,
be vigilent and active, and we wdll
in October bury them and their
nefaridus methods so deep that
the hands of resurection will never
reach them.
Sincerely yours,
“A. D. Candler.”
WASHINGTON.
A Chicago man declares that he
can rob the gallows of its terrors
for condemned persons. He says
hypnotism will do it. There is in
the Cook county jail a condemned
murderer named Merry who wish
es the hypnotist to try the exper
iment on him. It has not been
decided yet if the jail authorities
will permit Merry to be hypno
tised.
Written For The Cracker.
BY J. D. BLACKWELL.
The 22nd of February 1732 was
destined to be a memorable day
for all Americans. On that day
on the Virginia side of the Poto
mac river, 20 miles south of the
present site of Washington city
was born the greatest American
that has ever lived. His picture
hangs in every home. His name
is on every patriots tongue.
Priest, people and king do honor
to his name. “He was first in
war, first in peace and first in the
hearts of his countrymen.” His
tory and tradition are searched in
vain for a more noble character.
His ancestry coveted the privilege
of giving to the world such a char
acter; his posterity cannot boast
a greater.
When a boy he scorned a lie; he
loved, aye more, he lived the truth.
You remember well the story of
his cutting his father’s cherry tree.
He was manly and just. Every
one could trust him, nay more,
he made his associates feel it their
duty to do so. He never sneered
at any one. George never stood
on street corners making remarks
about passers-by. He was above
listening to vulgar stories. He had
a great deal of self-respect, not
associating with those whom he
would not like for his sister to
associate with. George knew he
must fee her associate, and that if
he became contaminated with evil
boys, their influence should affect
her seriously through himself.
Washington did not have best
educational advantages, but he
excelled most of his class-mates
in part of his studies, at least.
At an early age he became a suc
cessful surveyor.
When he had reached manhood
he was successful as a farmer, but
at a time when his country was in
such need of genuine philanthro
pists the plantation could not hold
him. His love for freedom and
national independence over-ran
the borders of the most extended
farm. He was wealthy for a man
of his time, and owned a great
many slaves; yet, where Washing
ton was there were no lords, . all
were men. As a husband, he was
one of the very noblest. As a
friend, he was that to every one,
and no one knew him but to love
him and admire him. His ene
mies could not but speak respect
fully of him. ’ He was probably
the most influential citizen in his
community.

What is
Scott’s
Emulsion?
It is a strengthening food and
tonic, remarkable in its flesh-form
ing properties* It contains Cod-
Liver Oil emulsified or partially
digested, combined with the well-
known and highly prized Hypo-
phosphites of Lime and Soda, so
that their potency is materially
increased*
What Will It Do?
It will arrest loss of flesh and
restore to a normal condition the
infant, the child and the adult* It
will enrich the blood of the anemic;
will stop the cough, heal the irrita
tion of the throat and lungs, and
cure incipient consumption. We
make this statement because the
experience of twenty-five years has
proven it in tens of thousands of

\vu 8hall see whether he did his
countrv faithful und valuable
service, whether his character is
worthy of future studv, whether
his life is to be imitated. He car
ried his tender, yet manly, dispo
sition with him there, and, unlike
most men, he did not lose his self-
respect and sympathy for others
in the associations of men onl3 r .
He suffered the same hardships his
soldiers suffered, he risked the
same narrow escapes his soldiers
risked, he underwent the same
privations they underwent,, that
the warfare might not be so
burdensome to them. He and his
brave fellow-soldiers firmly estab
lished our government, v He in
spired them with the idea that
defeats were only pebbles thrown
in the way to victory, but that
each victory was a huge stone re
moved from their pathway.
As a national leader and chief
executive, his career and adminis
tration were as full of tenderness,
wisdom and justice as his former
life had been. He served two
terms as chief executive and re
fused a third one. Well might
Washington Irving, the prince of
American biographers, spend his
best energies in giving to the world
a history of such a man. Nor
were the strongest energies of the
greatest poetic gen ; us wasted if
exhausted in portraying the ehar-
acte and virtues of Washington.
Getting’ Photographs.
Mr. J. D. Ruden. travel mg passenger
agent of the Southern railway, was in
the city Wednesday getting- up photo
graphs of different buildings and other
views to be used in the advertising-
pamphlet soon to be issued by the road.
He will perhaps use photographs of the
banks, hotels, manufacturing- enter
prises, the auditorium, court house and
other buildings. The pamphlet will be
of great yalue to Gainesville as it will
be widely distributed throughout the
country.
