THE CLEVELAND COURIER
Devoted to the Agricultural, Commercial and Industrial Interests of White County
VOL. XV, No. 84 .]
W. A. Charter’s Strength
Is the Ninth District.
Congressman Thos. M. Hell is
a candidate for re-nomination and
is opposed this time Jay Col.Av. A.
Charters. Friends of each are now
lining up for the fight. As show¬
ing the strength of the two men in
the district the returns of the pri¬
mary election of jwo years ago are
interesting. Two years ago. ow¬
ing to his late announcement. and
thinking he would not run. many
of Mr. Bell’s friends pledged them¬
selves to one or the- other of his op
ponents«before he got into the race*
nevertheless Mr. Bell was over¬
whelmingly nominated.
In the face of (he fact that Mr.
Charters and Mr. Holder announc¬
ed in January, and both made a
vigorous canvass of the district six
months Before Mr. Bell announc¬
ed, and fired their guns at him for
more than a month After he an¬
nounced, Mr, Bell polled 10.679
votes, nearly as many popular ^vot¬
es as both opponents combined,and
received 22 convention vbtes—
tjrhieh is a more than both oppon¬
ents combined received.
Two years ago, 24,176 voles wqre
polled in the district. Mr. Char¬
ters received only 4,858 voles in the
entire 18 counties of the district.
This about one-fifth of the
polled; while Mr. Beil received 10,
679, or nearly one-half.
The combined majoiity against
Mr.*Charters in' the district
19,318. The combined majority
against Mr. Charters in
home county, was 770 ; in Lump¬
kin—his former home count}-, too;
in Jackson, 3,25*: in Gwinnett,
3,051 ; in Habersrshum, 521 ;
Stephens,/»2b‘; fh White, 588;
Forsyth, 1,085; in Milton, 400;
Cherokee, 2,068; in Banks,
Rabun, 287 ; in Gilmer, 942.
Of the 5 counties carried by Mr.
Charters he only received a
ity in 2, viz: Dawson, 11 :
Pickens, 22. There was a major¬
ity of 199 popular votes against
Mr. Charters in the 5 counties
ried by him. It would
fore, that he has only a small
lowing in the district, as lie
polled about 30 per cent of
vote, about 8 o percent being
st him.
Mr. Bell carried his native
ty of White by 525 ; his home
ty of Hall by 630;
former home county of Mr.
ters—by 76; and only lacked
votes of carrying
home comity of his other
Mr. Holder—where Mr.
only received 78 votes. Mr.
only lacked 78 votes of
Banks; 142 of carrying
304 of carrying Pickens, 98:
carrying Towns; and 88 of
ing Union, several of which
would have doubtless carried
there only two in the race.
* Mr. Bell carried out of the
precincts of his home county
Hall, only losing one by 2
his plurality in the county
77°.
It is said that hut few men
public life have ever had more
friends than is possessed by
Bell, due to his devotion to
and his faithful service to the
pie.

There is more Catarrh in this section ot
the country than all otlibrf'diseases put
together, and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a
great many years doctors pronounced it a
local disease and prescribed local reme¬ -
dies, and by constaptly orontlv failing fail to cure
with local treatment, pronounced it incur¬
able. Science has proven Catarrh to be a
constitutional disease, and therefore re¬
quires constitutional treatment. Hall’s
Catarrh Cure, manufactured bv F. J.
Cheney & Co., Toledo. Ohio, is the only
Constitutional cure on the market. It is
taken internally. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the system.
They offer one hundred dollar* for
case it fails to cure. Send for circulars
and testimonials. Toledo, O.

For modes of faitii l^t senseless bigots

Ho can't be wrong whose life is in the

The God of various nations may
be venerated, for wherever the real
and sincere worshipper is found, it
is the Supreme which he adores,
under a change of names, and we
ought to always jict upon a safe
course, which the Buddhist “Ar¬
ticles of Faith” well illustrate, by
saying :—“Honor thine own faith,
but never slander that of other people” ;
a maxim which it would be well
for some conceited pep pie to put in
practice. There is a portion of the 5
same primeval Hermetic Wisdom
underlying every ancient popular
religion, knojyn and practiced by
the Initiates of all countries. Those
doctrines relate to the human Soul,
its Divine** parentage, its human
progress, and its restoration to the
jfppreine, by being Reborn or Re¬
generated. When men like Pytha¬
goras, Plato, Plotinus, Apollonius,
Jesus of Nitisareth, St* Paul, etc.,
well known for their admirable and
strict virtues, took part in such Di¬
vine Mysteries, and spoke^f them
with the greatest veneration, we
need not linger and listen ter-what
ignorant and prejudiced critics may
say otherwise.jg|
It ,js oulv through the doctrines
of the Ancient Wisdom, that, the
religion preached- by Jesus the
Nazarene, can be completely under¬
stood in all their beauty, grandeur
and profundity, and it is solely by
a careful and intelligent- compre¬
hension of Plotinus, Confucius,
Plato, etc., tlwit one can properly
understand the ideas which the
term Father implies in the New
Testament. Plato’s ideal of (he
Deity, whom he describes as the
everlasting, invisible God, the
Fashioner and Father of all things,
is the Father of Jesus. It is this
Divine Being whom the Grecian
Sage represents as being neither
envious, nor the originator of evil,
and who can produce nothing but
what is good and just. He ap¬
plauds His all-embracing Divine
power and omnipotence, lie is
omniscient and nothing escapes Ilis
constant vigilance ; Ilis justice is
embodied in the laws of compensa¬
tion and retribution ; He leaves no
crime unpunished, and no virtue
unrewarded. This pupil of
Socrates utterly rejects the idea of
God having a material form, and
repudiates with disgust those fables
which ascribe passions, quarrels,
etc., to the Deity. What impud¬
ent, ignorant and base injustice
| therefore is it for fanatical people
to slander such exalted men, and
! vilify them with such terms as
“Pagan”, “Heathen”, and other
S epithets of a kindred character, for
we may well say with Xenophanes
of old :—“There is one God Su
•preme over all Gods, Diviner than
mortals, who has no form iike unto
I j man’s, and as unlike his nature;
I ^ ^ morta , s imagine thatGods ,
j, like themselves are begotten with
j human sensations, and voice, and
corporeal members.”

Thos. M. Bell’s Strength
In the Ninth District.
The race for Congress in Ninth
District has about settled down to
a race between Bell and Charters.
Many claims arc made by their re¬
spective adherents. Some of those
who support Bell think he is invin¬
cible. It may be iiff resting to
examine the returns of the last elec¬
tion. At that lime Bell was op¬
posed by two candidates who
naturally split the opposition.%|lt
is always to the advantage of the
incumbent to have more than one
candidate against him.
It is a fact Mr. Bell lacked a
great deal of receiving a majority
of the popular votes in the last elec¬
tion. To be exact, there were
3,918 more votes polled against
bj m . He therefore represents a
minority.
He however had 22 votes in the
Convention as against 20. This re¬
sulted from the fact that he carried
several counties by a mere plurality
vote and not by a majority.
The combined majority against
him irf .Stephens county was 198,111
Habersham 93, in Forsyth 101, in
Milton 118." Notwithstanding
this he received the countils. eigb^-Conven
tion Votes of thjpe These
eight votes Taken 22 would! leave
only fourteen, or just one-third; of
Convention votes.
Tin again his majorities in
othdr counties were very narrow.
For instance, in Lumpkin lie had a
majority of only 52, in Gwinnett
155, in Cherokee .86.
His majority in Hall in 19x0 was
nearly 1,000; iti 6 '!912 it was reduc¬
ed to 490.
It would not appeur therefore
ti^it Mr. Bell is any to strongly en¬
trenched. A change of a very few
votes would defeat him.
Reports are that there is disaffec¬
tion in all parts of the district.
With a two-handed race this will
count strongly against Mr. Bell.
The contest is just opening—but
the indications are ominous.
