Elections This Tsar.
While 1899 is an off year in
politics, some very interesting
elections will be held inNovember
In fact there will be contests in
eleven states, four of which were
carried in the last election by the
democrats and seven by the re
publicans. The following list
shows the states in which elections
will be held in November, and al
so the offices to be filled:
lowa —For governor and other
state officers.
Kentucky—For governor and
other state officers.
Maryland—For governor and
both houses of the legislature.
Massachusetts—For governor,
state officers and both houses of
the state legislature.
Mississippi—For governor, state
officers, a legislature and all coun
ty officers.
Nebraska —For justice of the
supreme court and two members
of the board of regents.
New Jersey—Eight state sena
tors, sixty members of the assem
bly and county officers.
New York—Two justices of the
supreme court in first judicial dis
trict, one juetice in fifth district,
three justices in eighth district,
and one hundred and fifty mem
bers of the assembly.
Ohio—governor and all stnte
officers.
Pennsylvania—State treasurer,
two judges of the supreme court
and one judge of the superior
court. •
Virginia—Secretary of the com
mon-wealth, treasurer and minor
state officers.
These elections are important,
in that their results will, to some
extent,influence the voting iu 1900.
The eleven states are widely
scattered throughout the Union
and the New York World says the
November elections will afford a
fair test of public opinion. Ne
braska and Ohio are expected to
be the center of interest in the
campaign of this year, one being
the home of President McKinley
and the other that of Hon. W. J.
Bryan, already an active candi
date for the democratic nomina
tion for the presidency. The out
look in Ohio is more than usually
encouraging for the democrats, on
, account of factional differences
and disseutions. Senator Hanna,
the leader of the McKiuley forces,
has antagonized some very strong
republicans in Ohio, especially in
the recent elections in Cleveland
and Toledo. The situation is en
tirely hopeful for the democrats,
so far as Ohio is concerned. As
to Nebraska, the republicans and
democrats who oppose Mr. Bryan
are especially active in trying to
defeat Jiim at home, and thus de
stroy his chances for securing the
nomination for president. In the
other nine states, party lines will
doubtless be well drawn and the
campaigns fought without any
anecial incidents of importance.—

GEORGIA’S MONUMENT
The First Erected to Her Con
federate Dead at Chic
amauga.
Dedicated Last Thursday,
After the lapse of thirty-five
years, Georgia has erected on the
bloody field of Chicamauga a me
morial shaft “In memory of those
who fought and lived, and those
who fought and died—Those who
gave much and those who gave
all” to their country’s cause. This
magnificent monument, the hand
somest on either the battle-field
of Chicamauga or on Missionary
Ridge, is located near the center
of the battle-field and where the
contending armies battled for two
days for victory, and which ended
in one of the most complete victo
ries ever achieved by the Southern
armies.
In company with “Capt. W. J.
Born, Dr. T. K. Mitchell, Mr. M.
E. Ewing and Col. C. H. Brand,
the writer had the pleasure of at
tending the unveiling of this mon
ument on the 4th inst.
The battle-field is about ten
miles from Chattanooga and is
connected with the city by rail
and a splendid road graded by the
Federal government after the
park of 6,000 acres was purchased
and dedicated for all time to come
as a Federal park.
The ceremony of unveiling the
monument was impressive and ap
propriate. At ten o’clock about
three thousand people had assem
bled on the grounds, and Gov.
Candler, his staff, the park com
mission and many invited guests
assembled on the platform facing
the monument. A fine band was
in attendance to furnish music for
the occasion. After prayer by
Dr. Boggs, the park commission
presented the monument to Gov.
Candler, who accepted it in an el
oquent speech. He then delivered
it to Gen. Boynton who represen
ted the United Btatos. General
Boynton was a Federal general in
the war and is now in charge of
the park. At the close of his
speech, Col. J. C. C. Black, of Au-
gusta, delivered the oration. The
selection of Col. Black was fortu
nate. He is a Confederate veteran
and fought on this field and there
fore had an inspiration in the
memory of the stirring times in
that memorial battle. His ad
dress was a grand effort, adding
new laurels to his reputation as
one of the strongest and most elo
quent speakers in the State. It
was a speech that met a hearty re
sponse from the old soldiers pres
ent, and it is well worth preserv
ing and being read by the genera
tions that come after us. After
the conclusion of his address many
of the old soldiers who fought un
der him, pressed forward to shake
hands with Gen. Longstreet who
was on the platform.
This monument was erected by
the State of Georgia under an act
passed iu 1897, appropriating $25,-
000 for the purpose of erecting one
or more monuments in commem
oration of the gallantry of her
sous engaged is this battle. This
monument cost about $17,000. It
is of Georgia granite flanked by
four large bronze tablets bearing
inscriptions of the several com
mands engaged in the battle. The
apex of th < shaft is surmounted
by the heroic figure of a Confeder
ate soldier holding in one hand a
furled flag of the Confederacy.
On one of the tablets is inscribed
the name of one company from
Gwinuett:
“Peeples’ Battery, Command'd
by Capt. T. M. Peeples."
There ar.- a number of small
monumeuts locating the positions
occupied by Georgia troops at dif
ferent times during the battle.
Kentuky dedicated her monu
ment on Wednesday, and while it
is an imposing shaft it does not
equal in size or beauty Georgia’s
monument.
After the dedication, the writer
and Capt. Born spent the day in
visiting the other portions of the
battle-field. Dr. Mitchell, Mr.
Ewing and Col. Brand went back
to the traiu and visited Lookout
Mountain.
There is something peculiarly
fascinating to an old soldier in
visiting the battle-field where !16
years ago amid the roar of cannon,
the rattle of musketry, the shouts
of men, the dash of an hundrd of
couriers at break-neck speed,
death held high carnival. The
government is keeping everything
us near as possible just like it was
in 1863. And Capt. Born and my
self found with no difficulty our
exact positions at every point dur
ing the battle. At the first posi
tion occupied by the Gwinnett
Battery two cannon now stand
and near them a suitable granite
block withe the names of the com
pany chiseled in large letters up
on it.
Standing on. an elevated point
where we could get a good view of
this field of death, on a bright
Muy morning, with a gentle breeze
furring the leaves of the trees,
and a drowsy stillness prevailing
ihe entire scene, where hundreds
of monuments rise up to tell of
ihe terrible conflict, it seenn like
a dream of long ago—of a romance
rather than steam reality. And
vet right here, on this spot, I
seem again to hear the roar of the
battle, the “Rebel yell,” as our
men, led on by Kershaw, charged
the Yankees from one hill top to
another.
The battle of Chicamauga was
fought Saturday, the 19th, and
Sunday 20th, days of September,
1808. The Federal army was com
manded by Gen, Kosencrans, and
the Confederates by Gen. 11 rax ton
Bragg. The Federal* had driven
our army hack step by step through
Tennessee and at last captured
Chattanooga, and were preparing
to march their army down into
Georgia, the heart of the Confed
eracy. They had a large and splen
didly equipped urmv, in command
of able and distinguished generals,
with a splendid base of supplies.
The Confederate government de
termined to make one grand effort
to check the invasion of Georgia.
To this end Bragg’s army was rap
idly re-iufoiced by Buckner’s com
mand in East Tennessee, Long
street’s corps from Virginia and
other troops from different sec
tions.
For two or three days the ar
mies maneuvered for position,grad
ually drawing nearer to each oth
er. On Saturday morning the
lines of battle were rapidly formed
and our armv moved right forward
to the attack. The rapid fire
along the picket lines and the
bursting shells from the enemy’s
batteries told that the battle was
on. In less than an hour the roar
of the battle could be heard on
the right, and it moved rapidly,
until the entire front was engaged.
All day long it raged with deadly
fury. There was no intermission
until dark stopped the combat,
und then the weary Boldiers replen
ished their cartridge boxes and lay
down to sleep on their arms, ready
for a moments’ call, amid the dead
and dying. Neither side had made
important advances.
Sunday morning the battle was
renewrd with more energy and vig
or, and by 12 o’clock the Confed
erates were breaking the enemy’s
lines at various points, and the
shouts of victory inspired their
comrades. The battle now raged
more fiercely, and by sundown the
Yankee army was in full retreat,
hotly pursued by thß victorious
Confeds. As the shouts of victory
floated over tl e bloody field aud
reverberated back from old Look
out, the men forgot their thirst
and hunger *tnd their tired limbs
and rushed on, capturing one line
of works after another. That fine
army went back into Chattanooga
a panic-stricken mob, throwing
away their guns. All that saved it
from total wreck was the corps of
Gen. George H. Thomas, that in
good order covered the retreat and
held our army in check by contin
uous fighting as they retired.
Night ended the pursuit. It
was a sweet night’s rest after the
hard conflict, amid 27,000 dead
and wounded soldiers of the two
armies, f. M. Peeples.
Early County News: Wednes
day morning Mrs. W. H. Stuckey,
while sweeping up her bedroom,
saw something in a corner of the
room. Not having on her glass
es, she stooped down and picked
the object up, which pr- ved to be
a fourfoot chicken snake. She
was not bitten, but dropped his
snakeship in a hurry and called
to her husband, Capt. Stuckey,
who came and killed it. On cut
ting it iu two the captain found
the snake had made a meal off
five of his little chickens.
Conductor Thomas M. Bryson
has filed a suit for SIO,OOO damag
es against J. C. Dunlap, as recei
ver of the Gainesville, Jefferson
and Southetn Railroad, iu Jack
son Superior Court, at Jefferson
ville. Mr. Bryson sets forth that
the train he was running on the
18th day of last October was
wrecked on a trestle near Hosch
ton, in this county, and thrown to
the ground, twenty feet below,
and he sustained injuries which
will cripple him for life.
The last hanging, and perhaps
the only lawful hanging that ever
took place in Harris county, was
in 1888. The subject was a negro,
and he was sentenced by the old
inferior court. His crime was
burglary, and five judges sat on
his case. He broke into a store at
Whitesville and stole a watch.
He was hung on a gallows on the
old Whitesville road. In 1840
another negro was sentenced to be
hanged, but died on the day he
was to be executed. He was sen
tenced for the murder of his mas
ter, and his own untimely death
was caused by a gunshot wound
from one of his guards, received
on the previous night.

OEITUAB7.
Last Saturday night a week ago,
just as tj]<> toils of tlip day were
over, the calm and gentle life of
Mr. David Carter, of Hen Smiths
district, was called forth for high
er and nobler purposes.
“Uncle David,” as every one
knew him, had lived his allotted
time, and for some months had
been patiently waiting the death
summons to alleviate his suffer
ings.
Mr. Carter was a man of noble
character, and lived a life that
can well be used as an example
for any one. For a number of
years he was constable of the 816th
district, and made a most efficient
officer. In pleasure he was with
us all, but in business knew no
one.
A greater democrat at heait has
never lived. You could always
rely on “Uncle Davy’s” colors be
ing conspicuously displayed in
Ben Smiths.
In his religious belief, he wat
not a man to make so much pub
licity of his duty to God, but
lived a Christian life from early
manhood. We hespeak our lioart
felt sympathy for his bereaved
family, and to the community.
