THE NEWS-HERALD.
CANDLER'S MAJORITY IS 70,000.
Innocuous desuetude fulls short of the mark a* representing the
state of the populist organization iu Georgia after gHe general election
of Wednesday. Ab a landslide the election will go cm record as one of
the most decided type, for the fuller returns of yesterday indicate
that Governor Candler’s majority and that of th » full state ticket
will go to 70,000.
Half a score of counties that have for years n taintaiued a popu
list majority are finally redeemed to the democratic® told, while in only
two, Haralson and Paulding, out of the entire 187, are any populist
gains noticeable. In Coffee, Forsyth, McDuffie, Gflascook and "W hit
field a pvrotechnic effort was made by the populist spellbinders, but
in all of them the decision of former years has bean revuo-sod and dem
ocratic rule substituted by the vote of the majority.
The consolidation of McDuffie’s vote has presented an assortment
of hard, cold facts to the adherents of Candidate Traylor. Here at
the home of Thomas Watson, higli priest and prophet ms the populist
organization, the result shows a majority of 800 votes Tor the demo
cratic ticket; the largest democratic majority recorded iu McDuffie in
years.
In Whitfield, the home of Chairman McKnight, where an organi
zation represented to be invincible, had been effecied, the outcome
was the same—Governor Candler carried Whitfield by ov6r 400 ma
jority, and all the populists could do was to name the county’s repre
sentatives in the legislature. Forsyth, conceded even by some demo
crats to be populist by a big majority, turns up with a complete dem
ocratic majority.
As a result of the election on Wednesday there will be two negro
representatives in the house when that body is called to order this
month. The responsible oounties are Mclntosh and Liberty, in both
of wnich a natural negro majority prevails and where the democrat!,
white candidates were beaten without trouble.
In Wilcox conuty the battle between the two factions, represent
ed by Rochelle and Abbeville, was one of the bitterest and most de
termined of any in the state. As in the last race for the legislature,
the friends of Rochelle have named the member and G. V. Gress,
formerly a well known citizen of Atlanta, will occupy the seat iu the
general assembly reserved for Wilcox county. The majority for
Gress is fifty-two and both factions have begun already to bring
charges of open corruption.
The people of Abbeville attiibute the defeat of their candidate to
the fact that they did not have the money to pay for negro votes, as
they charge was doue in Rochelle. The election of G. V. Gress
means the introduction of a local bill in the house at an early date
after that body convenes changing the county site of Wilcox from
Abbeville to Rochelle.
In the twenty-seventh district where the democratic nominee for
the senate was opposed by a populist, the contest was a warm one,
but the election of A. C. Stoue iB a foregone conclusion. While the
returns from Oconee show that county to have been carried by Stone’s
opponent, the remainder of the district is safely democratic.
The race made by W. T. Smith for the seuate in the thirty-fourth
was a victorious one over his populist opponent. Colouel Smith car
ried his home county, Gwinnett, by a majority of 561 Iu DeKalb he
received 450 votes to 250 given bis opponent. This shows a majority
for the democratic candidate of 750 with Henry county still to be
heard from.
In spite of the hard struggle of the populist-independent forces
iu Floyd, that connty is safely democratic not only for the state tick
et by 2000 majority, but for every democratic countv nominee. In
the face of a bitter personal ffght, W. A. Knowles comes to the gen
eral assembly and Tax Receiver Sanford is elected.
One of the most important results of the overwhelming victory
of the democratic ticket is the feeling of confidence and assurance
which 70,000 majority will carry to the struggling masses of the party
in the doubtful states. Seventy thousand not only represents the
majority for Governor Candler and the state ticket, but it stands as a
direct indorsement of the national democratic candidates and the
Kansas City platform.—Constitution.

During the winter of 1897 Mr.
James Reed, a leading citizen
and merchant of Clay, Clay Co.,
W. Va., struck his leg against a
cake of ice in such a manner as to
bruise it severely. It became very
much swollen and pained him so
badly that he could not walk
without the aid of clutches. He
was treated by Physicians, also
used several kinds of liniment
and two and a half gallons of
whiskey in bathing it but nothing
gave any relief until he began
using Chamberlain's Paiu Balm.
This brought almost a complete
cure in a week’s time aud he be
lieves that had be not used this
remedy bis leg would have had to
be amputated. Pain Balm is
unequaled for sprains, bruises and

Iu au interview in Macon on
Wednesday, Mr. Harvie Jordan’
president of the Cotton Growers,
Protective Association, said:
“I am not expecting any great
derliue in the price of cotton now.
It may be made to fall down to 10
cents, and the bears are doing their
best to carry it down to 9 cents,
but I don’t believe they can suc
ceed. lam advising farmers to
sell at present prices, because ad
vice from Wall street leads me to
understand that this is a fair
price, but the farmers will quit
sefling as soou as the price goes
below 10 cents. They have paid
nearly all of their debts by this
time, and although they have very
little cotton left, the bulk of their
crops having bsen marketed, yet
they do not have to ask anybody
to help them hold what remains.
They can wait until it suits their
pleasure to sell. Suppose every
farmer should refuse to sell a bale
for forty-eight hours, whatapanie
there would be on Wall street I
We will be able to manage tricks
like this ourselves when we get our
cotton growers organiiatiou !per
fected. The bears work tricks on
the jarmers now, but the farmers
will yei have their turn if they
will just continue to live at home,
planting cotton as a surplus crop,
and then keep thoroughly organ
ized so they can conteol their
yield. ”
Mr Jordan’s parting words were
“Plant wheat ond oats, and plant
them early.”
Mr. Jordan’s parting words form
the key-note to agricultural pros
perity in Georgia during future
years. High prices for cotton
come once in a decade, and then
as a result of providential condi
tions, but the farmers can make
their cotton bring high prices ev
ery year if they but plant it as a
surplus crop.
Plant oats and wheat, and all of
the things needed on the farm,and
plant enough of them to supply
the neighbors and the folks in the
town. Then plant all of the cot
ton you can. With the provision
crops safe, the profits iu cotton
will be large, whether tbe price be
high or low. —Ex.

A fellow who has evidently been
bitten recently by a “blind tiger”
gets off the following—
“ Sing a song of penitence, a
fellow full of rye; four and twen

When his eye was opened he shout
ed for his life; wasn’t he a pretty
chap to go before his wife ? His
hat was in the parlor underneath
a chair, his boots were iu the hall

his trousers in the kitchen, his

GOOD NEWS FOR OUR READ
ERS
Who have scrofula taints in
their blood, and who has not?
Scrofula in all its forms iB cured
by Hood’j. Sarsaparilla which
thoroughly purifies the blood.
This disease, which frequently ap
pears in children,is|to be dreaded.
It is most likely to affect the
glands of the neck, which become
enlarged, eruptions appear on the
head and face, and the eyes are
frequenttly affected. Upon its
first apperance, perhaps in slight
eruptious or pimples, scrofula
should be eutirley eradicated from
the system by a thorough course of
Hood’s Sarsaparilla to prevent all
the painful and and sickening
consequences of running scrofula
sores which drain the system, sap
the strength and make existence
utterly wretched.
