There will Hg 910 votes bi the convention ;of these the M-rald giv<*s the free silveritesso3 the gold men 373 and doubtful 34. The Five Great Panics. In all the discussion of the fi nancial question there are few speakers and writers who go back of the period of 1873 and most of the argument begins at that point. It seems to me that the history of previous panics and periods of i depression in this country should ; have been taken more into account in discussing the question by men who oppose the single gold stand ard. The reason we oppose it is main ly because gold alone supplies too narrow a base on which to build the great column of credit and j business of the world, and will af ford the owners ofgoldatall times the ability to shako or tumble the whole column without warning, and at any time precipitate busi ness disaster, by contracting the money supply. As evidence that a contraction of currency is always followed by financial pai ic, I glean the follow ing facts from “A Dictionary of American Politics,” prepared by Everitt Brown and Albert Strauss, and published by r A. L. Burt, of New York, and which volume has the endorsement of Senator John Sherman, and I understand has been warmly recommended by the Atlanta Journal. In 1819 was the first groat panic followed by a long period of de pression. It came on the heels of a call by our Government for a balance due on the Louisiana pur chase which had to bo paid to Franco. The call was for seven and a half millions and took that amount out of circulation. Con traction ; panic. The great panic of 1837, which was followed by a long and fearful period of depression that lasted into the forties, and which was not finally relieved until after a bank | nipt bill by Congress and the gold finds of California had supplied the means for doing business, by 7 settling old debts and providing a largo increase of currency. Like the panic of 1819, this one came on the heels of a great contraction ; which contraction came of the go ing down of State banks, which banks went down under a demand for coin to redeem outstanding bank bills, which demand was in duced by the Government attempt ing to stop speculation in wild lands, and cnly receiving gold and silver at the land offices. The third great panic was in 1857 and followed on the heels of a demonitization of foreign coin to the amount ol some $1 £0,000,000. This panic was of short duration but some writers put the estimate of loss through shrinkage in values, at the large sum of $500,000,000. The next great panic was the fearful one of 1873 which followed a calling in of greenbacks and the issue of bonds. About a billion of greenback were destroyed and those people who were making contracts, giving mortgages, signing five y 7 ear notes, and transactions of like character when money was plenti ful and cheap had to go to the wall when selling day camo and it did not take long to get up a black Friday when once it started. With a bankrupt law and limited coinage of silver the country grad ually 7 emerged from disaster. The next panic was a small one in 1884, when, from 1881 to 1884 • the National Banks had gradually [ reduced their circulation and crea ted a demand for gold which : threatened a panic and it was only prevented from precipitation by Daniel Manning Secretary of the Treasury saying to the banks that a run by them on the gold reserves would be met w ith silver payments. The next great panic, and from which we are still but faintly breathing, and which carried a hol icaust of ruin, was the greatest on i record, that of 1893, which follow ed a gradual contraction of circu lation by the National Banks and was perhaps superinduced by the. failure of the Barings in 1890, and the consequent demand for gold, causing American securities to be thrown on the markets first, and what silver advocates think, an unwise attempt on the part of our Government to pay gold on a con-, tract which could and ought to have been paid in silver.

The primary held in this county last Saturday was especially quiet, yet considering the busy season of the year a fairly 7 good vote was p lied. Mr. Shropshire had no opposi tion for the sjnate and the fight between Judge Maddox and Judge Milner was so one sided that it created very little interest and the same was true of Dr. Rudicil and Mr. Eve. No election was held in Alpine district. Below will be found the vote in the other districts. Summerville.

The following gentlemen were elected members of tne county Democratic Executive committee for their respective districts in the primary 7 held last Saturday. Summerville, J. S. Cleghorn. Haywood, B. F. Dunaway. Subligna, R. W. Doak. Trion, W. H. Penn. Dirtseller, K. R. Foster. Lyerly, A. S. Williams. Coldwater, T. J. Worsham. ; Seminole, J. L. Johnson. Dirttown, R. B. Johnson . J. T. McWhorter was elected in Teloga but declined to serve, and S. M. Knox was elected by the committee to serve in his place. No election was held in Alpine and therefore no committeeman elected and to fill this vacancy Rad Wyatt was elected by- the committee. The new committee organized by electing J. S. Cleghorn chairman, and A. S. Williams secretary. After perfecting organization the returns from the various pre cincts were canvassed and consoli dated. which showed the following general result. For State Senate. Wesley Shropshire 617. For Representative. R. Y. Rudicil 565 R. Eve 67 For Congress. J. W. Maddox 524 T. W. Milner 76 For U. S. Senator. C. F. Crisp 588 F. G. Dußignon 23 After the result was announced the gentlemen receiving the high est vote, to-wit Messrs Shropshire, Rudicil, Maddox and Crisp were declared the nominees of the Dem ocratic party 7 of Chattooga county. I After this came the e'ection of the delegatee and alternates to the state, congressional and senatorial conventions as follows: To the congressional convention which meets’at Ringgold July 7 4,' John W. Wyatt and R. W. Doak, delegates, and W. 11. Penn and J. L. Pollock alternates. To the state convention which ' meets in Macon June 25, J. M. Bellah and J. W. Cain, delegates and J. L. Johnson and G. B. Myers, alternates. To the senatorial convention , which meets in Rome June 20, J- M. Bellah, A. S. Hamilton and T. J. Worsham delegates and R. B. j Johnson, J. M. Rose and E. W. Sturdivant alternates. There being no further business to transact the committee then ad-l journed subject to the call of the , chairman. In Floyd County. In Floyd county the old ticket for connty officers was nominated entire last Saturday. John J. Black, for tax collector, got a majority of 258. W. E. Beysiegel, clerk, majority of 291. J. P. McConnell, sheriff, got a majority of 169. Congressman Maddox got a ma jority7 in the county of 1353, while Crisp come out ahead 1946 votes. Messrs J. 11. Reece, W. II Ennis and Felix Corput were nominated for the legislature. J. F. Ward law, prohibition candidate, got 767 votes. R. L. Foster was nominated for tax assessor. The Seventh District. Judge Maddox carries all of the counties in the seventh that acted except Bartow. There are thirty four votes in this convention. Bartow —Milner, 4. Catoosa —Maddox, 2. Chattooga —Maddox, 2. Cobb —Maddox, 2. Dade—Maddox, 2. Floyd—Maddox, 6. Gordon —Maddox, 2. Haralson —Maddox, 2. Paulding—Maddox, 2. Polk—Maddox, 2. Total—Maddox, 24; Milner, 4. Murray, Walker and Whitfield I have not acted yet, but Judge Maddox already 7 has six votes more than enough to give him the nomination. The State. Os the nearly eighty counties in which the democrats at their pri maries Saturday gave specific in j structions on the senatorship, just : one instructed for Fleming Dußig -1 non. who has imagined that he 7 was running against ex-Speaker Chas. F. Crisp. That county was Baldwin, where Dußignon spent his boyhood, and where his moth er now lives, and yet Baldwin sent strong silver men to the state con vention. In almost every county where there was a contest, Crisp polled many 7 more votes than there were cast for the silver ticket on which he ran, and that, as told in these dispatches last night, made a clean sweep of the state. In other words, Crisp is even stronger than the issue and that was evidently 7 strong enough. The probability 7 is that no other name will be presented to the dem ocratic caucus. Dußignon has an nounced that his fight is over, un less the Chicago convention adopts a gold plank. So it will be Sena tor Crisp, unless perchance, the man from Georgia should be called on to take a place on the presiden tial ticket, which is here not con sidered unlikely. The effect of the silver cyclone on the Georgia delegation in con gress, briefly 7 stated, is: First District—Lester: without opposition. Second district—Judge Griggs, silver, will beat Judge Bower, ad ministration. Almost all the counties in the district send silver delegates. The congressional nom ination comes later. Third district—State Senator Lewis, silver will succeed Crisp. Fourth district —Congressman Boils It is often difficult to convince peo ple their blood is impure, until dread ful carbuncles, abscesses, boils, scrof ula or salt rheum, are painful proof of the fact. It is wisdom now, or when ever there is any indication of Impure blood, to take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, and prevent such eruptions and suffering. “I had a dreadful carbuncle abscess, red, fiery, fierce and sore. The doctor at tended me over seven weeks. When the abscess broke, the pains were terrible, and I thought I should not live through it. I heard and read so much about Hood’s Sarsaparilla, that I decided to take it, and my husband, who was suffering with boils, took it also. It soon purified our Blood built me up and restored my health so that, although the doctor said I would not be able to work hard, I have since ! done the work for 20 people. Hood’s Sar saparilla cured my husband of the boils, and we regard it a wonderful medicine.” Mbs. Anna Peterson, Latimer, Kansas. Hood’s Sarsaparilla | Is the One True Blood Purifier. All druggists. sl. cure liver ills, easy to take, llOOu S i 11 1 S easy to operate. 25cents. Moses may be beaten; there sro five others in the race, all silver. Fifth District —Congressman Livingston will succeed himself. Sixth District—Bartlett has no opposition. Eighth District —Judge Lawson, who as one of the administration leaders, is badly beaten by Col. Howard. Howard carried all ex cept Lawson’s home county. Ninth District—Tate succeeds himself, carrying everything. Tenth District—No action. Black can succeed himself if he wants it. Congressman Turner, in the Eleventh district, u ill be the sound money man of the delegation. Ho will bo renominated, but will have strong opposition in the election. His friends say that if the Chicago convention declares for silver, lie will not run, but it is noted that the congressman has not gone on record on this point. Floyd’s Senatorial Delegates. The senatorial delegates elected iu Floyd Saturday are as follows: W. 11. Steele, T. W. Scott, J. K. Williamson, I. J. Berry, Albert Ewing, J. E. Dean, R. G. Hackney, A. B. S. Mosely, J. T. Crouch. These gentlemen received an average vote of 1360 each. These gentlemen are all strongly in favor of sustaining the rotation system for state senator, and will endorse the nomina tion of Mr. Shropshire for that office. The ticket opposed to Mr. Shropshire’s interest, and in favor of the tactics al ready inaugurated by a few of the Car tersville politicians, received an aver age vote of 127. This action on the part of the voters of Floyd county is exceedingly gratifying to Mr. Shrop shire’s ftiends in this county and shows that they are not willing for the usages and customs that have prevail ed so long in the 42nd dirtrict to be set aside to gratify the personal ambi tion of any one man, however 'worthy and deserving he might otherwise be. Chattooga asks for nothing but what is right, and Floyd has shown by her votes that the right shall be maintain ed.

In December, 1894, the astrono mers beheld the most wonderful sight that has ever greeted mortal eyes. They were watching the queer antics es a star of the ninth magnitude when all at once it flamed up like a smouldering brush pile to which fuel had just been added. Within forty-eight hours its brilliancy increased sixteen-fold and then the star slowly disap peared from view. The astrono mers believe that what they saw was a sun “burning up.” The fin al flash which they saw probably left the doomed orb twenty or even fifty years ago. It is a well-known fact that there are stars removed from us by distance so great that they might have been wiped out of existence 10’) years ago and the light still be coming to us through space.
