OOL. HOWARD THOMPSON AT
HOSCHTON.
Editor Cracker: Col. Howard
Thompson addressed the citizens
of Hoschton and vicinity Friday
night of last week. The weather
was cool and unfavorable and not
a large crowd gathered to hear him,
but those present were highly en
tertained for an hour and a half
by the young democrat from our
sister county of Hall.
Mr. Thompson was hoarse on
account of a severe cold and look
ed fatigued but he warmed up with
his subject and made a fine speech
and a good impression. Mr.
Thompson did not indulge m any
smuttv yarns or anecdotes; nor
did he abuse his opponent, Mr.
Tate, or lash the populists, but
discussed questions of grave im
port to his people and the demo
cratic party. The address was
clear, logical and convincing from
start to finish—many avowing it
the best speech ever delivered at
this place on a similar occasion.
Knowing that the war was tak
ing precedence over all other ques
tions he gave his views as to its
causes, and how it might have been
averted which received round af
ter round of applause.
Mr. Thompson’s canvass has
had a tendency to strengthen and
solidify the democratic party in
this county. Two gentlemen who
have hitherto affiliated with the
Populists said to your correspond
ent on Saturday “Mr. Thompson’s
conservatism will cause many
Populists to support him and the
democratic party to unite more
closely.”
We have not a word of abuse
for Mr. Tate. We have supported
him in the past. We are for Mr.
Thompson because intellecually he
is Mr. Tate’s superior. After re
fusing to meet Mr. Thompson m
joint debate we do not believe that
Mr. Tate ought to desert his post
of duty at Washington and go by
stealth into the upper end of the
district where he knows he will
not meet Thompson for the pur

Take Care of the Old Newspapers.
Old newspapers form an import
ant item in domestic economy,
and are useful for polishing win
dow-glasses, for cleaning lamp-
chimneys, for testing and cleaning
flat-irons, and for a dozen other
things; you will also need heaps
of them when you come to pack
away the winter clothing. The
clothes-moth, like other evil-doers,
has an aversion to printer’s ink.
An excellent moth-proof bag, sec
ond only to the expensive tarj
paper, and costing nothing, may
be made of two thicknesses of
newspaper, with the edges folded
as if for an inch-wide hem, and
securely fastened. Bags of the

A New School of Diplomacy.
It is seldom that anyone, espec
ially in Europe, has a good word
for the diplomacy of the United
States. We are told that most of
our diplomats abroad belong to
the awkward squad and that they
no sooner acquire a little profic
iency than they are called home
to make room for other raw re
cruits wearing political coats of
another color. Our state depart
ment is said to have been no
match for the wily Spaniard in
the negotiations which preceded
the present war and it has been
intimated that the Andalusians
outtricked us in diplomatic points
two to one.
Taking the diplomacy of Spain
for an example, we doubt whether
any discredit rightfully attaches
to us for not being adepts in the
art as understood by her. Spain’s
theory of international politics is
and always has been essentially
Machiavellian. Any promise, any
subterfuge, any means which will
serve the end is uot only permis-
sable but desirable. The nation’s
diplomatic history is one of eva
sion, procrastination, broken
promises and hideous treachery,
The United States, not being
skilled in the subtler deviousnesses
of diplomacy, has always proceeded
on the theory, so seldom accepted
by the politicians of continental
Europe, that promises are some
thing to be respected. Thus we
were credulous enough to believe
fora long time that Spain might
eyentually do justice to Cuba under
any other persuasion than that of
force. We guilelessly put Spain
on the same plane of honesty with
ourselves.
We plead guilty. We are proud
of our shortcomings. We have no
desire to matriculate m the Euro
peans school of diplomacy. The
art of circumlocution is not at
tractive to us. Splitting political
hairs while innocent people are
being murdered by starvation or
otherwise is not to our taste. We
have a tendency to speak out in
meetin’ which is bad form and
hard to overcome. Therefore, we
shall continue to conduct a school
of diplomacy of our own; a school
in which truth, honor and princi
ple are held to guide and justice
is perferred above expediency; a
school which shall, by the mighty
power of its own right purposes,
in the far distant future establish
the precepts of the golden rule as
the common standard of internat
ional relations among all the peo
ples of the earth.—Chicago News.
Doctors Can’t
Cure It!
BlOO Reward. JSIOO.
The readers of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages, and
that is Catarrh. Hall’s Catarrh Cure
is the only positive cure known to the
medical fraternity. Catarrh being- a
constitutional disease, requires a con
stitutional treatment. Hall’s Catarrh
Cure is taken internally, acting direct
ly upon the blood and mucous surfaces
of the system, thereby destroying the
foundation of the disease, and giving
the patient strength by building up
the constitution and assisting nature
in doing its work. The proprietors
have so much faith in its curative pow
ers, that they offer One Hundred Dol
lars for any case that it fails to- cure.

Contagious blood poison is absolutely
beyond the skill of the doctors. They
may dose a patient for years on their
mercurial and potash remedies, but he
will never be rid of the disease; on the
other hand, his condition will grow
steadily worse. S. S. S. is the only cure
for this terrible affliction, because it is
the only remedy which goes direct to
the cause of the disease and forces it
from the system.
I was afflicted with Blood Poison, and the
best doctors did me no good, though I took
their treatment faith
fully. In fact, I seemed
to get worse all the
while. I took almost
every so-call e d hi o o d
remedy, but they did not
seem to reach the dis
ease. and had no effect
whatever. I was dis
heartened, for it seemed
that I would never be
cured. At the advice of
a friend I then took
8. S. S., and began toim-
/ prove. I continued the
medicine, and it curea me completely, build
ing up my health and increasing my appetite.
Although this was ten years ago, I have never
yet had a sign of the disease to return.

In capturing monkeys, it is said
that their curiosity is the thing
that makes them an easy prey.
Nearly all the monkeys that we see
in this country come from Gorno-
na, a little village situated a short
distance from the Panama railroad.
The inhabitants of this district
are mostly native negroes, for a
few white men could bear the cli
mate. The region is marshy,
and covered with tropical vegeta
tion. At night there arises a
thick vapor, laden with fever,
which hangs over the woods like
a cloud.
The region of woods is the para
dise of the monkeys. They travel
in troops, led by an oldjmonkey.
When the people receive infor
mation that “the traveling mon
key troops” are nearjthe village,
they go to the woods in crowds to
chase them.
Their plan is very simple. They
cut a hole in a cocoanut large
enough for a monkey’s paw to en
ter. The nut is then hollowed
out, and a piece of sugar placed in
it. A piece of string is*then fas
tened to it, and it is placed in the
road of the approaching’monkeys.
Is is well known that monkeys
are very inquisitive. When they
see the cocoanut in the grass
they hurry to examine it. It does
not take them long §to find out
that the inner part contains a
piece of sugar. One of "the bold
est and greediest sticks a paw into
the nut to get the sugar, and
grasps it as tightly as he can.
but his fist is so large that he
cannot draw it out of the hole
again, with the sugar, to which he
holds fast, cost what it may.
The natives now pull the string
until nut and monkey arrive in
vicinity of their ambuscade. In
the meantime the other monkeys
wonder what is the matter with
their comrade. They hurry to see
where he is being pulled to, with
his paw in the cocoanut. They
crowd aronnd him chattering and
gesticulating and the natives, who
have a large net ready, cast it ov
er them, and before they know it
all are prisoners. They are sold
to the employees of the Panama
railroad, and reach the North
American markets through com
mercial dealers.—Philadelphia

An Inferno on Earth.
The heat in Australia has been
something awful to think about.
Thermometers in many localities
registered over 160 degrees in the
sun. In the Melbourne Observa
tory 109.5 degrees were recorded,
under severe shade conditions, on
Jan. 11, while at Boort the shade
register w r as 116 degrees. Of
course this intense heat works
enormous mischief. This is what
the Australian Review of Review's
says of their effects :
“The earth seems to faint under
the white blinding jkies. The
harvests shrivle. The orchards,
with all their leafy promise, are
smitten as with the blast of a fur
nace, The grass turns to dust
over the wide plains. In Adelaide
many of the animals in the zoolog
ical gardens died. Fish perished
in shallow lakes; birds fluttered
dead out of the sun-scorched airT*
The heat seemed to rob earth of
its greenness, and the air of its
oxigen. How much sick people,
and old people, and little children
suffered can hardly be expressed
in figures. The heat, indeed,
turned the crowded suburbs of
great cities, and hundreds of tiny
shadeless bush townships, with
scanty water supply, into »o many
circles, little or big, of an inferno
such as Dante hardly dreamed of.”
The Gainesville Cracker shouts
in great glee, “Pickens is a Repub
lican county! ” Of course it may
be, says The Pickens County Her
ald, but these same Republicans
are as honorable and sensible as
any in the state.” Who said they
were not?
