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.— Exchange. HOW'S THIS!

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. LOCAL NEWS. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS.

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. A Friend. GOOd MOOd! Your heart beats over one hun dred thousand times each day.
