THIS EDITION.
The Cracker is pleased to be
able to present this Commence-
ment-Chautauqua edition to
the people. ft is issued in
the interest of the Gainesville
Chautauqua, and this section of
Northeast Georgia—the garden
spot of the state.
10.000 copies are distributed
over the state, and the great Chau
tauqua, and the many and varied
advantages of Gainesville are set
before the people.
The best energies of the manage
ment of The Cracker will be ex
pended in . making it a paper of
great usefulness to this city and
.section. Gainesville is a great
town. Northeast Georgia a great
section and The Cracker will
always be an earnest advocate of
their interests and advantages.
Watch Gainesville and The
Georgia Cracker!
A FIN.E INSTITUTION.
The pet of The Georgia Cracker
is The Georgia Female Seminary
and Conservatory of Music. It is
an institution of which Gaineville
and Northeast Georgia is justly
proud. Profs. Van Hoose and
Pearce have built up an educa
tional institution which is the
peer of any female college in the
South. From all oyer the South
ern states, young ladies come here
to receive instruction, and the fact
that more students from this in
stitution are filling responsible
positions than from any other col
lege is an evidence of the thorough
ness of the work of the nary.
The 18th annual^ commence-
• ^ -
ment, which has just come to a
close, has been one of the most
successful in the history of the
school.
The faculty is composed of capa
ble teachers who are in love with
their profession and whatever they
undertake is carried to a success
ful culmination. Earnestly and
zealously they work to advance
the pupil in each department un
til the student has mastered each
study and is ready to receive a di
ploma. Moral, mental and phy
sical development go hand mhand
at the Georgia Female Seminary,
where parents should send their
daughters to be educated.
NEGLECTED INTERESTS.
Colonel Tate has been absent
from his post of duty about six
weeks. He chose the most impor
tant time to leave that there has
been since he has represented the
Ninth District in Congress. He
voted to plunge the country in war
and immediately came home to
campaign, leaving the faithful at
Washington to guide the helm of
state.
However, it is hardly probable
that he is missed by them as he
has always been a mere figurehead
and voted for whatever the man
with the string directed, but* it
does seem that a man who desires
to serve his constituency would
have some appreciation of their in
terests and in a trying time in the
country’s history like this would
at least stay in his place and do
the best he could for them.
Blit these things never enter in
to the head of the beefy Congress
man from the Ninth. He is too
anxious* to be nominated again
and is too busy distributing boodle
to remain at his post of duty.
His heelers need direction and he
must give it to them.
By far the most flagrant outrage
perpetrated by Colonel Tate, as is
reliably reported, is the use of
money in an effort to buy his nom
ination. He has gone from county
to county over the District, if re
ports are true—and they are very
trustworthy, scattering boodle
among his heelers who have been
placing it where it will be of best-
advantage. This way of securing
a Democratic nomination is un
heard of before, and it should fly
back and strike him who attempts
it in the face.
But Thompson will win—and its
farewell to Tate and hoodie. i
A GREAT CHAUTAUQUA.
The Gainesville Chautauqua j
promises to be the biggest and
best chautauqua ever held in Geor
gia, or in the South. The pro
gram includes the best and ablest
lecturers,and finest talent engaged
in chautauqua work, all of which
was secured at a great expense.
The directors have spared neither
pains or expense in putting before
the people the very best attrac
tions.
Gainesville is pre-eminently the
place for a great chautauqua like
this. Its ideal location in the heal
thiest, richest and best part of the
South, with its many and varied
attractions as a health and pleas
ant resort, and inhabited by a
great and good people, make it,
we say, the place of all places for
a truly great chautauqua.
We venture the assertion that
no chautauqua was ever held in a
more beautiful or more magnifi
cent building than the handsome
auditorium of the Georgia Female
Seminary where the exercises of
the Gainesville chautauqua will
occur. It has a seating capacity
of 1,200, is well lighted and ven
tilated, and is comfortable always.
Be sure to notice a list of at
tractions presented elsewhere in
this issue, and do not fail to at
tend the chautauqua in July.
HON. HOWARD THOMPSON.
Today witnesses the close of the
Congressional campaign in the
Ninth Congressional District of
Georgia, and Monday the battle of
ballots begins.
From every indication now Hon.
Howard Thompson will receive
the Democratic nomination for
the 56th Congress. He has made
an able, clean campaign, and from
the day he entered the race his
strength has increased. From
quarters where he did not expect
support he has developed remark
able strength, and hi9 friends have
been doing him yeoman’s service.
It would be fittingly appropriate
for the Democrats of the Ninth
District to nominate Colonel
Thompson. He is able, brainy
and fearless and would represent
his people well. He is experienced
in affairs of state, and, being a
fearless champion of the people’s
rights, would give his best efforts
to the shaping of legislation which
would promote their best interests.
Do not fail to go to the polls
Monday and cast your ballots for
the Hon. Howard Thompson.
Let his home county of Hall roll
up a big vote for her favorite son.
He is worthy of the honor, and in
honoring him the people of Hall
will honor themselves.
Here’s to Hon. Howard Thomp
son, the next Congressman from
the Ninth District of Georgia.
THE CHARGE IS TRUE.
It has positively been proven by
affidavits and sworn statements of
P. J. Shore, C. R. Faulkner, L. D,
Puckett, B. W. Grant and Dr. J. H.
Moore that Colonel Tate and P. F.
M. Furr traded off the Cornelia
post-office, Furr receiving $100
and a ton of guano from J. T.
King for securing him the ap
pointment, this being §l ton of
guano more than the amount J.
H. Moore offered Furr for the
place. The affidavits and state
ments are from men whose hon
esty and integrity is beyond ques
tion.
Now, this settles the matter and
shpw9 conclusivelyAhat the asser
tions and affidavits published in
The Cracker week Before last are
true beyond the shadow of a
doubt.
Such trickery and trafficking in
post-offices, as was true of the office
at Cornelia, to gain votes and ' in
fluence for Colonel Tate, and to
put coin in the pockets of Furr, is
disgraceful and the people of the
Ninth Congressional district
should rebuke such practices at
the polls Monday by voting for
that clean, honest and fearless
statesman—the Hon. Howard
Thompson.

GEORGIA’S NEXT GOVERNOR.
Monday next Hon. Allen D.
Candler of the county of Hall will
be nominated Governor of Georgia.
That he will carry 100 of the 187
counties in the state is conceded
by everybody who is in position
to know the sentiment of the peo
ple of Georgia.
Upon the solicitation of the peo
ple of this state he entered the race
for the nomination,and by the vote
of these same people he will receive
the nomination. The campaign
which has been waged against him
has been bitter—though a futile
one. Charge upon charge has been
made against him but all to no
account for the will of the people
cannot be# defeated, and Allen D.
Candler will be nominated.
The time has not been forgot
ten when Allen Candler led what
seemed to be a forlorn hope
against that brilliant Indepen
dent, Hon, Emory Speer, and de
feated him by an overwhelmingly
majority. The people were wil
ling to follow him then, and they
are ready to fight with him now.
He has never known defeat, and
success is perched upon his ban
ners now.
The people of Hall county
should turn out Monday and poll
a big vote for Colonel Candler.
Although there is no opposition to
him here his home people should
pay Him the compliment of a large
vote.
THE HEELERS AT WORK.
It is rumored that an effort will
be made to vote negroes in the
primary in this county Monday.
Those who have the interests of
the party at heart will not at
tempt any such thing, but some
boodler9 who care more for the
price thats in it to them than they
do for the Democratic party are
willing to perpetrate such a dis
grace.
Negroes are not eligible to vote
in the Democratic primary be
cause both the county and State
Democratic Executive Committees
have resolved “that none but Dem
ocrats be permitted to participate
in this primary.” NegroeB are
not Democrats, therefore they are
ineligible.
It is currently reported that
Colonel Tate has put money in
the hands of several of his heelers
here to buy up negroes and vote
them for him in the primary Mon
day. The managers, if they carry
out the instructions of the county
executive committee, will not per
mit negroes to vote.
• Mr.
FROM
TATE A FIXER
AWAY BACK.
From now on Hon. Carter Tate
who misrepresents the Ninth Dis
trict should be known as General
Carter Tate from the fact that he
has deserted his post of'duty in
the city of Washington and come
down to Georgia to fix his politi
cal fences.
He came to Gainesville on last
Sunday morning and during the
blessed Sabbath he was closeted
with one of the most prominent
republicans in Gainosvilte “fixing”
things,and on Monday he was en
gaged in walking the streets shak
ing hands with negroes.
While he and his political heel
ers are endeavoring to intimidate
the republicans in the mountain
counties and threatening to pros
ecute any republican with temer
ity enough to vote in the primary
on the 6th day of June he is down
here in .the lower end of the dis
trict ‘ifixing up” matters for
“cuffy” to cast his ballot for him.
Did it ever occur to Mr. Tate
that this is a democratic primary
and that it will be run by demo
crats and not republicans? If it
has not got through his hair into
his brain if he will only keep his
eye on his number the truth will
dawn on him in all its glory on
Monday next.
That political iodaform, com
monly known aB boodle, which
Colonel Tate has distributed over
the Ninth Congressional District,
can’t cover up the stink of his
political record.

TATE APPLIES THE BOYCOTT.
The Blue Ridge Post-Record
which has been doing yeoman’s
service for Hon. Howard Thomp
son in his brilliant race for the
democratic nomination for Con
gress, has been boycotted by Tate’s
friends. He was fully warned that
such would be the case unless he
changed for Tate. This he refused
and a new paper was started by
J. F. Holden, « brother of one of
Mr. Tate’s gaugers, and the people
believe by Tate’s money, and upon
the issuing of the first number,
notice from the Ordinary and
Sheriff came out of their intentions
to change their advertising. The
outrage was so palpably political
that the grand jury of Fannin took
up the matter and passed the fol
lowing resolution : “Whereas, It
has come to our knowledge that
notice has been served on J. M.
Hackney, of the Post-Record of an
intention on the part of the ordi
nary and sheriff of this county to
change the publication of their
notices and sales from said paper
to the Southern World, which has
just issued its first number, We
therefore enter our protest against
said action as we think it violative
of the public policy of county to
change said adverisments from an
old established paper to a mere
campaign tbeefc. We respectfully
ask a re-considefation of said ac- j
tion and by said officer* and that
the change not be made.
Read before the body and adopt- !
ed unanimously.”
Boon Crawfod, Foreman.
W. N. Foster, clerk.
The grand jury is a non-politi
cal body, and the meanness of the
boycott aroused their indignation.
With argument exhausted, with
the cause warning, with heelers
pressing for more boodle and an
indignant public crying for Tate’s
scalp, the boycott is the last re
sort of the feeble minded states
men from the Ninth.
We do not charge that Tate had
anything to do with the boycott,
but add, that he held a conference
with his friends on the 23d, the
ones to whom the sheriff and or
dinary had allowed to decide about
the change, spoke to the people of
Fannin on 24th inst., and a strik
ing coincident is, that the notice
of change bears the same date of
Mr. Tate’s address at Blue Ridge.
THE SEMINARY BUILDINGS. j
Just three blocks from the public square, and located in a ten-acre natural
oak grove, in the most beautful part of the city, where it is quiet and free from
noise, heat and dust, with beautiful lawns, tennis courts, fountains, ptc., is sit- ;
uated the boarding department of the Georgia Female Seminary, which I will
open for summer visitors from June 7th to September 7th, in connection with ,
the Arlington Hotel. This is one of the most magnificent buildings in North- j
east Georgia, and is modern and beautifully furnished throughout, snppliet
with hot and cold baths. To thoroughly appreciate this building aad its sur- '
roundings is to come and spend the hot summer days and enjoy the oaths in j
this magnificent swimming pool of pure mountain water, and mdia&e j
pleasures afforded here. |
THE SWIMMING POOL. f j
Attached to the Seminary buildings is a large swimming pool. : 'xTOleeL j
supplied with pure mountain spring water to which guests have access, A
nice ten pin alley also furnishes amusement for guests. Leading out of the j
city in each direction are

pavilions and rustic seats. At livery stables best horses and stylish turnouts,

In melody trembling to prayer.
Did thy Mary remember in heaven
Her love by the braes of Ayr?
We know not, but earth that heard thee

Must cherish thy song to her latest spring.
Deep heart, so lavish in loving!
Oh. wayward and broken heart!
As safe from our shallow reproving
As deaf to our praise thou art.
Yet thy song shall thrill us while love

And thy sorrow move us till death be past.

The fact that Coca Cola is the
most popular drink at all soda
founts is indicative of its merits.
Several years ago the formula was
discovered and Coca Cola was put
on sale. Since that time its sale
has constantly grown until now
millions of gallons are dispensed
every year from the soda founts of
this country. The business of the
Coca Cola Company, of Atlanta,

immense proportions. Try a drink

Wliy the Irishman yaiu
There was once an Irishman who
sought employment as a diver, bringing
with him his native enthusiasm and a
certain amount of experience. Although
he bad never been beneath the water he
bad crossed an ocean of one variety and
swallowed nearly an ocean of another.
But he had the Hibernian smile, which
is convincing, and the firm chanced to
need a new man. And on the following j
Monday morning Pat hid his smile in a
diving helmet.
Now, the job upon which the crew to
which Pat had attached himself was
working was in comparatively shallow
water, and Pat was provided with a
pick and told to use it bn a ledge below
in the manner with which he was fa
miliar.
Down he went with his pick, and for
about 15 minutes nothing was heard
from him. Then came a strong, deter
mined, deliberate pull on the signal
rope, indicating that Pat had a very de
cided wish to come to the top. The as
sistants pulled him to the raft and re
moved his helmet.
