The Democratic Executive Committee of Hall comity met at the court house
Tnesdav afternoon at 2 o'clock. Chairman John E. Red wine, Jr., presiding-. On
a call of the roil by Secretary W. B. Sloan the following members were present:
Gainesville. J E. Redwine, Jr., H. H. Dean. C. S. Webb, D. O. Johnson; Tad-
ore j. g. Whaley: Candler, P. B. Simmons; Glade, J. M. Hulsey; Narramore,
R F. Quillian; Polksville, M. L. Cantrell; Bark Camp, A. H. Jackson; Fork, W.

Roberts. J. L. Gaines, V. M. Beard; Clinchem, T. H. Fraser; Gillsviile, Z. T.
Suddath. Quillians and Big Hickory districts were not represented.
It was decided to hold the primary for the nomination of county officers,
including two Representatives to represent the county in the General Assembly,
| on Frida v, July 15th. It was also decided to hold the primary for the nomina
tion of Supreme court justices on the same date. The-committee thought it
wise to have only two primaries, and to have the county primary and the Su
preme court primary to come on the same day, July 15th. The gubernatorial
primary comes on June Oth, the date decided upon by the State Executive Com-
► mittee. §
The action of the committee was practically unanimous in all that was
done. There was not a dissenting vote to hold the county primary and the
i Supreme court primary on July 15th. This was deemed the proper time, as the
.farmers would not be through work on June 6th, and would not have the time
[to turn out and poll a full vote.
As soon as the dates of primaries were agreed upon a committee consisting
[of Col. II. H. Dean, Mr. F. T. Davie and Secretary Sloan was appointed to draft
'a set of resolutions embodying the action of the committee and providing for
1 the qualification of voters in the primaries. The committee reported the fol-
Ilowing resolutions which, after a short discussion, were adopted:
Resolved: That we. the Democratic Executive Committee of Hall county,
[believe that Che only fair way of nominating candidates is by a Democratic
■primary; and we further believe that ample time should be given the farmers to
finish their crops so that a full* vote may he polled.
Therefore, in order to give the candidates for the various offices a fair
chance to present their claims for office before the voters of the county and that
Iso dissatisfaction over the result of the primary and no complaint of lack of
lame to canvass t he county that the primary for the purpose of nominating all
■county officers, including two candidates to represent the county in the General
■Lsembly, he held in each militia district on the fifteenth day of July, 1898.
■ It is further resolved: That the primary for the nomination of justices of
ihe Supreme court be held at the same time of said county primary.
Resolved: In pursuance of the recommendation of the State Executive
■Committee that a primary for Governor and state house officers be held in each
[militia district cr. the sixth day of June, 1898.
Resolved: That the qualification of voters shall be that all Democrats shall
■be entitled to participate in said primary, and also all other voters who
[have not heretofore affiliated with the Democratic party provided they are will
ing to pledge their honor, if challenged, that they will support the candidate
in the general election so nominated in said primaries.

The County Sunday School Associ
ation met in the First Methodist church
last Saturday. On account of the ab
sence of several who were on the pro
gram it was changed a little from the
original copy. The meeting was a very
pleasant one, however, and representa
tives were present from nearly every
[Sunday SchooPin the county.

sometime during the summer, and
President Pearce has appointed the
following committee to arrange a pro

Moved In.
The Hynds Company has moved into
the new building put up by Dr. Dixon
and Mr. Cam Brow n on Mam street.
The entire first floor will be used as a
wholesale department. Heretofore the
company has been crowded for quar
ters and had not room enough to dis
play the immense stock of goods. The
room is large and the goods can be dis
played to advantage.
The Fruit Crop.
The cold snap of Tuesday and Wed
nesday damaged the fruit crop, it is
thought, but to what extent nobody
can just as yet tell. In some localities
it w r as hurt worse than in others. Mr.
I. D. Iludgins, who is in the nursery
business, states that his fruit is dam
aged but little. Others say their crop
is cut in half by the freeze. Every
body hopes the fruit is but slightly
damaged.
Homes will be Provided for Them.—Rev.

Mr. W. S. Withiiru's Address.—
Members International Com
mittee to be Here.-r
Graud Chorus.
The preparations for the State Sun
day School Association which meets
here April 18th, are going on. The
committee appointed to solicit homes
for the delagates met Thursday after
noon, and discussed the coming of the
visitors.
Prof. H. J. Pearce, president ©f the
county association, has been notified
by 150 delegates that they will be here,
and he expects fully that many more.
Rev. J. H. Miller, field worker for the
state association, was here Monday
conferring with Prof. Pearce. He
feels confident that the association will
have the best meeting in its history in
Gainesville.
Some have asked why the association
opens its meeting on Monday. This is
because the international committee,
which is preparing the Sunday school
lessons for the next five or six years,
meets in Atlanta Friday, Saturday and
Sunday, and in order to get some of
the members at the state association
the meeting begins the following* Mon
day night. The members of the com
mittee are the ablest men engaged in
the Sunday school work, and their pres
ence will prove a great help to the State
Association.
On Sunday afternoon April 17th, at
3:30 o’clock at the auditorium, Mr. W.
S. Witham of Atlanta, one of the most
prominent Sunday school workers in
the state, will deliver his famous lec
ture on the “Vestibule Limited vs. the
Freight Train Sunday School.” It is
desired that representatives from each
of the Sunday schools in the county he
present. His,address will be of value
to all who hear it.
The Sunday schools of the city meet
at the auditorium to-morrow afternoon
at 3 o’clock to practice a chorus for the
state association. Prof. Wallace will
perform on the grand pipe organ, and
the chorus of voices will be great.
Everybody invited to come out and join
in the chorus. Last Sunday afternoon
a good crowd was present.

County Board of Education Re-
Organized Tuesday.
Census Enumerators Appointed to Take
School Census of County.—Pay Fixed
at $2 per day, and all Reports
Must be in by May 1st.
The County Board of Education met
in the office of Commissioner Robertson
at the court house Tuesday. The terms
of President J. 15. Estes and Messrs. I.
F. Duncan and D. T. Quillian having
expired, the board was re-organized by
the selection of Mr. W. I. Hobbs as
president. The other members of the
Board are Messrs. H. H. Beard, W. A.
Crow, B. W. Lockhart and J. R. Mason,
who were appointed for the term of
four years by the last grand jury.
The following gentlemen were ap
pointed census enumerators for their
respective districts to take a census of
the schools: Gainesville, G. R. Coch
ran; Clinchem, J. M. Deaton; Wilson’s,
R. C. Burns; Flowery Branch, B. A.
Carlisle; Friendship, J. T. Smith; Mor
gans, F. G. Abernathy; Bark Camp, A.
H. Jackson; Glade, H. F. Walker; Tad-
more, L. L. Blackstock; Candler, P. B.
Simmons; Quillians, D. J. Blackwell;
Polksville, R. L. Blackwell; Whelchels,
Thomas E. Highsmith; Fork, J. R.
Robertson; Roberts, Virgil Beard; Gills-
ville, G, W. Holcomb; Narramore, Mrs.
Lou Rogers; Big Hickory, John Bryant.
The pay for the enumerators was
fixed at $2 per day, and they are given
until the first of May to have all their
reports in. They will begin their work
immediately and .will take an accurate
census.
The last school census of the county
taken in 1893, gave it a school popula
tion of 5,582, while the school census of
Gainesville amounted to 1,034. It is
expected that both will be much larger
this year, though the census cannot be
correctly estimated.
The board took no action with refer
ence to the renewal or adoption of
text books, postponing action on this
matter until the first Tuesday in June.
At that time the board will make con
tracts for text books for the next five
years.
Mr. J. H. Stiff of Atlanta, represent
ing the Georgia agency of the Rand,
McNally Company, was here Tuesday.
He Thinks of His Mother.
While at the post-office a few days
ago Postmaster Farrow handed us a
► money order he had just paid off. It
was from Dallas, Texas, was from J.
M. Miller to Mrs. J. A. Miller and was
for one dollar and fifty-five cents. We
saw nothing peculiar about it and asked
what about it? Colonel Farrow re
plied, it evinces affection for a mother
by her boy a thousand miles away.
Mrs. Miller lives on the top of the Blue
Ridge near Porter Springs, in an hum
ble cabin, with few comforts of life
around her though they are of our best
people. One of her boys on becoming
of age went to Texas and though a poor
man he came all the way from Texas a
year or two ago to visit his mother.
While under the parental roof on that
visit he heard his mother and others
conversing about some neighbors who
had just drawn their pensions and in
that cqnversation his mother remarked
how glad she would be if she had a
Died Tuesday.
Mrs. Harry Breezer died at her home
on Oak street Tuesday afternoon of
consumption at the age of sixty-seven
years. Her remains were interred at

Lipscomb-Little.
Miss Daisy Lipscomb, a charming
young lady of Bellton.and Mr. Bob Lit

married last Sunday. The friends of
both wish them a long and happy life.
Their future home will be in Harmony
Grove.
Spoke at Monroe.
Judge J. B. Estes addressed the vo

Tuesday in behalf of the candidacy of
Hon. Allen l>. Candler for Governor.

she could do with that small amount, j
This boy spoke up and told his mother
that if he lived he would send her that
amount monthly as long as she lived.
And he never forgets his mother, for
these little money orders come v.ith
perfect regularity, monthly, in advance.
What a lesson this is to a great many
bovs who never think of their mother.
In New Quarters.
The J. E. Murphy Company has
moved into new quarters in the Dean
building. Wednesday, Thursday and
Friday were opening days and great
crowds thronged the handsome store
so well filled with elegant and tastily
arranged goods. It is undoubtedly one
of the handsomest stores in Northeast
Georgia and no doubt the company
will do a large business. The millinery
display is highly creditable and can
not be surpassed by many more pre-
tentious concerns. The store has the
appearance of many of the larger city
dry goods houses and is an emporium
of which any city should be proud.
Mr. C. A. Dozier sold at auction Tues
day the lots of Dr. R. B. Adair between
Maple and Grove streets. Bidding was
Orator Not Yet Selected.
The Daughters of the Confederacy
have not yet selected an Orator for
Memorial day but a committee has been
appoihted to confer with some one and
secure a speaker. It is probable that
this selection will be made sometime
next week, and a full program made
out. The committees appointed to ar
range the different details of the pro
gram are at work, and will give the
people one that they will enjoy Apri
26th.
