Editor of the Union Recorder:— Dear Sir and Brother:—My mail brings to day the sad announcement of the deatli of the loved Inend and asso ciate of my childhood and manhood days, Jere N. Moore, and while in the course of Nature, it must be ex pected that men of our age must steadily move off the staae of file’s ac tion, yet, still the same, the heart bows down in sadness as we witness the loosening °f 'lie chord, and the break ing of the golden bowl, I can scarcely realize here, in my distant western home that the old playmate of boyhood —ihe one who stood side by side with me for so many years tit the case in the old Federal Union office—the one who bid me friendly God speed when 1 lelt old Milledgeville lor other fields— the one who always had a sincere wel come and cordial grasp of the band as Irom time to time I revisited my old home—I can scarcely realize that no more on earth I shall meet hint again. It has been lor sometime my intention, should my file be snared to visit Geor gia next May, and amid the dear an ticipations of that visit was the meet ing with Jere Moore, and the purtak ing of the hospitality ol him and bis which upon every visit lor forty years lias been a tact or in our fives. But the Master “had need lor him and lias called.” He ieaves behind him the priceless legacy of an honorable file. Uf him it may truthfully said: "His life was senile And toe elements so mlx«d In film That Mature might stand up And say to all the world— This was a MAN.” Unobtrusively, yet perseveringly, he trod the pathway ol a uselul citizen. His nature abhorred that which even savored ot dishonesty or chicanery. The questionable methods by which wealth and influence are sometimes ob tained, were never tolerated by biro, lor a moment. The honest results ol patient, honest labor, he worked for and enjoyed, but the riches ot the world bad no glitter tor him unless they were tree Irom suspicion. This peculiarity, for in these days, and even in the days ot our childhood, it was peculiarity, often led to the commert that he would never be a rich man, so far as pecuni ary wealth was concerned. And pos sibly, that was true, but at a time like this, “what is true wealth.'''’ And what would rot one give for the epitaph which community and people can wiite above bis resting place: “Here lies an honest Man.” Before such an inscription the fame of many so-called sages, statesmen and warriors sink into insignificance. Their deeds, their very memories will be tor- gotten, while the good deeds ol an honest man but brighten, expand and bless, as the centuries go by. Others will pay a merited tribute to the citizen, the neighbor and loved one who has left us. I but desire to lay an humble wreath on the grave of my as- soc’ate ot many years, to extend my heartfelt sympathy to his loved ones in this sad day ot bereavement, and to point to all that we can meet, again. His file has assured him an abundant entrance to the home of the blessed. May we so order our lives that there will be a reunion in that land beyond the shadow where partings are not known. Fraternally, Wm. H. Bahnes. STERLING! WASHINGTON LETTER.

REPUBLICANS WIN BY REDUCED MAJORITIES. All the Provical States Are Carried by the Party Now in Power. Elections were held last Tuesday in lorty-two states, and the latest indica tions are that the republicans have car ried all tbe doubtful states by greatly reduced majorites. The republicans will have a majority of 25 in the House. In the east chief interest was center- ed in New York and Pennsylvania. The republican majority in the Empire State will be about 10,000; in Pennsyl vania it will run up to 150,000. In the south there was little opposi tion to the democratic nominees for congress. In the close districts repub licans gained slightly and indications point to tbe election of their nominees. Georgia elected eleven democrats. The west gave the party in power a majority of its congressmen, by re duced majorities. The election in Georgia was light, and a fight vote was polled. A solid democratic congressional delegation was elected. The members of the house of repre sentatives from this state, elected yes terday, are as follows: First District—Rufus E. Lester, Sa vannah. Second District—James M. Griggs, Dawson. Third District—Elijah Lewis, Mon tezuma. Fourth District—William C. Adam son, Carrolton. Fifth District—Lon F. Livingston, Kings. Sixth District—Charles L. Bartlett, Macon. Seventh District—John W. Maddox, Rome. Eighth District—William M. How ard, Lexington. Ninth District—F. Carter Tate, Jasper. Tenth District—Thomas W, Hard wick, Sandersville. Eleventh District—W. G. Brantley, Brunswick. UNIFORM TEXT BOOKS. The bill providing for uniformity in the text books used in the public schools ol Georgia is a most important measure. Thu bill introduced by Mr. West, of Lowndes, places the selection of the books to be used in the hands of a com mission headed by the Governor, in cluding the Chancellor of the State University, and provides a term of of fice of five years for the commissioners. The commission, in the event the bill is made a law, will advertise for bids for school books to be furnished for a period of five years and samples of books must be submitted. Under the provisions of the bill only uniform, none-sectarian arid non-sectional books may be contracted for and a provision is made for the contractor to furnish bond to secure the faithful performance ol the contract. In the event ot its adoption the bill will go into effect January 1st, 1904, Will Investigate; A remarkable case comes to light at Elizabeth, W. Va. An old man there by the name of G. W. Roberts had long suffered with incurable cancer. Everybody believed his case helpless until he used Electric Bitters aDd ap plied Bucklen’s Arnica Salve. The treatment cured him completely.

Columbus Enquirer-Sun: There is a strong probability that there will K e a bitter fight made in the present legis lature on the convict lease system, as now carried on in Georgia. The state prison commission has recommended that the present system he continued, but there is much opposition to the sub-leasing of the convicts by the lessees. It is alleged that in many stances the state is paid a certain sum for a convict and that the lessees sublet the convict tor a sum considerably gieiter than that received by the stale. A good many legislators think all this money should go to the state. From Our Regular Correspondent. Washington, Nov. 3rd, 1902, Chairman Griggs talked recently of of the results to be obtained by u thor ough revision of the tariff. He point ed out that Americans pay just double what other people pay lor their lead pencils because ol the high tariff on them. The [triceof American graphite pencils, to the trade, is $3.75 per gross, while they are sold to the for eign trade for $2.25, The pencil trade "of the United States is supplied by just four firms which are so protected by the present tariff that competition is impossible and they are charging American customers nearly doubly what they charge the foreigner. * * * There have been many remarkable features about the campaign that has just close.d. The President and mem bers ol the Cubinet have been most positive in their promises ot reforms which the real leaders ol the party op pose the opposite vigorously, Mr, Moody has, on several occasions, prom-i ised the immediate repeal of the duty on anthracite coal, while Hanna, Aid- rich, Allison, etc., have protested that there must be no change in the sacred tariff schedules. Attorney General Knox has been promising the people that there would he additional legisla tion looking to the control ol the trusts. The real leaders have said, half heartedly, that there would he a change in present statutes if it was demonstrated that such change was necessary, but Mr. Knox says unqual- ifidely that scuh change is necessary and points out the instances where he Has been unable to prosecute (rusts be cause ot the inadequacy of the law. The President has caused it to be known that he intends to recommend a bipartisan board to consider tariff* revision while benator Hanna bus as sured the people they must “stand pat” and not permit any schedule to be re vised. The Minnesota republicans have promised sweeping tariff reform and the eastern republicans have urged the reelection of tbe party becanse such reelection would prevent tariff the anthracite field who were not com mitted to the arbitration proceedings and who were not even consulted in the negotiations preliminary thereto. Were it not lor the. fact that the elec tion is lo close and that so much hinged on'the belie! Ih it the coal strike was settled and settled (or three years, it is more than probable that the Presi dent would have communicated with Mr. Baer and asked him what he meant by that statement, in view of his rep resentatives at the White Mouse. As it is, tlie people believe that Air. Roos evelt has settled the strike and it is desired that they shall do so, at least until after the election.

Heavy eating is usually the first caused indigestion, Repeated attacks inflame the mucous membranes lining the stomach, exposing the nerves ot the stomach, producing a swelling after eating, heartburn, headache, sour ris ings and finally catarrh of the stomach.

For sale by C. F. Barrett, A race issue is going to cause a lot of trouble in ihe Transvaal. The bulk and the best d the Boer farms have been ti.fm possession ol by blacks, who rtfuT to give tbern up to their repatri tied owners. The Boers de mand that tbe government shall re- reform. The democrats, however, have ad hered to one issue and that is tariff re vision. They believe that the infant industries have been nursed into trusts by the tariff and they are anxious to reduce that tariff in the interest of the consumers. Mr. Bryan and Mr, Cleve land and Mr. Hill, all the ablest men in the party in fact, have stated the issue to be the same and ftave emplrn* sized the necessity of tariff reduction lor the welfare of the country. That the people have not heard the last ot the tariff or of the trusts is evident on all sides and that they demand some steps toward their relief is equally evi dent. That many persons will vote for the republican candidates with the belief that they will effect the desired ends is doubtless the case, bnt those voters will have an opportunity to see that no republican vote is ever cast against tbe interests of the trusts and the capitalists. * * * The apprehension is felt m administration circles over the state ment which President Baer made to the Anthracite Coal Strike Commission that there were numerous operators in The argument which it is feared Mr. Baer and his tissociaiee, in the event that the Commission finds against them will advance, is that it ivouid be unreasonable of the President to ask them to abide by the decision of the Commission without insisting on (hat decisions being equally respected by their compeditors. Of course the Fret* ident cannot insist on anything except through Baer and the other railway presidents who participated in the con ference and subsequent agreement at the White House. The commissim has invited the other operators, those whom Mr. Baer declares were “in nc way compromised” by his agreement, to participate in the sessions of the Commission and to voluntarily submit themselves to tbe same inquisition as the railway presidents but there is no reason to believe that they will do so unless Mr. Baer and the other trust magnates insist and that they have practically refused to do. There is no doubt but that the work of the commis sion will be watched with painful anx iety from Washington ami it is more than possible that the next meeting will bring cut important developments. The President accepted, last week, the invitation ol Representative Rixey of Virginia and lett Friday night lor Mr. Rixey’s farm where he will enjoy two days shooting. This evening he will pass through Washington on his way to Oyster Bay where lt« goa? uto cast his ballot. On his return lie iWfi bring Mrs. Roosevelt and they will occupy rooms in the renovated Whitp House, (, X Never Knew Painkiller to fail before, what can the matter he? Where is the bottle?

The Boers do not care to resort to force, but the bad feeling between the blacks nnd the whites is steadily growing stronger. Thy outcome will be, of course, that the blacks will have to give away, but they will probably not do it until there been more or lees bloodshed.
