Maddox’s Campaign.
Congressman J. W. Maddox, who <
is the nominee of the Seventh Dis
trict Democracy to succeed him
self in congress, opened his cam
paign at Dallas last Monday, and
from this time on will wage a vig
orous fight.
As is quite well known, Col. M .
R. Rankin, of Calhoun, is the in
dependent candidate, while J. A .
Massey, of La Fayette, will be in
the field as the Republican candi
date, and J. W. McGarrity, of
Paulding, will uphold the Populist
cause. This will make a four cor
nered light, and it docs not need a
political prophet to predict tho
result.
Unless all signs fail J. W. Mad
dox will bo re-elected to congress
by a larger majority than ever be
fore; but the judge is taking noth
ing for granted, and has gone to
work in earnest.
Hon. A. S. Clay, Chairman of
the State Democratic Committee,
is urging the people to register.
According to the registration law, .
he says:
First.—Only voters who have ,
registered this year (1896) can
vote in the elections to be held
this fall; consequently, any per
son who may fail to register this
year, under the law, will be depri
ved of his vote.
Second. —In order to register, I
the voter must apply to tho tax ,
collector and register in person,
either by writing his name or mak
ing his mark. He is required, un
der tho law, to sign tho oath, and
one person cannot register the |
name of another. The impression
has gone out that tho tax collector
can get tho names of voters and
sign tho oath for them. This is a
mistake, and all such registration
is illegal. The voter must apply
to the tax collector, or his clerk,
and sign the oath himself, or make 1
his mark.
Third.—ln order to facilitate I
tho work, the tax collector is al
lowed to appoint a clerk, or clerks,
to assist him in carrying on the
registering of the voters. The
acts of such clerks, done in pursu
ance of the registration law, will
bo just as legal and valid as if done
by the tax collector himself.
'l'he August McClure’s justifies
its title of a “Midsummer Fiction
Number” in five short stories, all
of them of such fresh and ready
interest that ono can read them
without forcing himself and in
spite of heat and humidity. Oc
tave Thanet contributes a strong
story of Western life; Stephen
Crance relates a dramatic episode
in the later life of the hero of “Tho
Red Badge of Courage;” Clinton
Ross tells a booming battle story,
based on Perry’s historic victory
on Lake Erie; E. M. Thompson
tells a humorous tale of the Cana
dian fishermen; and Annie E iot
describe a double love episode in a
Yale and Harvard boat race. It
is not often that five really good
stories, as these certainly are, get
into a single magazine. Then, in
addition, there is in this number a
fairly “stunning" instalment of
Anthony Hope’s new romance, (
“Phroso.”

A young doctor in north Georgia |
recently sent the following letter,
to a well known physician of that I

What do you think about this
chert the city is having put on the
streets? Will it prove a success
or will the money be thrown away?
A prominent member of the coun
cil told me this morning that he
did not think it the stuff, and con
sidered it a waste of money.—Rome
Commercial.
This same chert, except not quite
so good a quality, has been in use
on the streets of Summerville for
the past four years, and we have
never heard of but one objection
to it. and that is the reflection of
the sun from it on hot days makes
it disagreeable and unpleasant to
the eyes. With this exception Ro
mans will be delighted with it when
they givejit a fair trial.
MR. JONES’ INTERVIEW.
Senator Butler Says McKinley’s
Election Would Mean a
Calamity.
Atlanta, Aug. s.—Senator But
ler, chairman of the populist na
tional committee, telegraphed the
Atlanta Journal this morning the
following signed statement in re
gard to Senator Jones’ interview
criticising the southern populists:
“You wire me purported inter
view with Chairman Jones, as it
appears in Monday’s World, and
ask me for a statement with refer
ence to tho same. lam not pre
pared to believe Senator Jones was
quoted correctly. The election of
McKinley would mean not only
four years more of Shermanism
and Clevelandism, but also many
additional andcumunlativeresult
ing evils.
“No intelligent patriotic voter,
no true American citizen can, by
his action or inaction, be respon
blo, directly or indirectly, for such
a threatened calamity. The only
possible way that it can be averted
' is by a complete, harmonious and
■ enthusiastic union of all parties
'opposed to the destructive rule of
: corporate greed and British gold
I upon tho candidates for President
and Vice-President that represent
' just the opposite to what McKin
ley and Hobart represent.
Those upon whom is the groat
responsibility of the consumma
! tion of this end, should not say or
I do anything that would produce
; friction, but should on the other
' hand subordinate all minor differ
j ences and bend every energy for
I harmonious union and victory
i when the cause of outraged and
' suffering humanity is trembling
in the balance, when victory for
: American independence and pros
' perity is in sight.
“What a humiliating and sick
| ening spectacle it would bo should
i tho folly of personal ambition and
the demon of party spirit step into
| cons use and divide tho allied ma
jority and deliver our people into
the hands of the enemies of repub
lican institutions. But this can
not, this will not happen.
“The American people are not
in any humor to bo trilled with.
They realize the cause of our evils;
they fully appreciate the threaten
ed danger. They will this year
drive tho British money changers
and their American tory allies
from the temple of liberty and
take charge of their own affairs.
“It would be better for candi
dates and chairmen to do less talk
ing for the present. But in spite
of the indiscretions of individuals
and recalled leaders, the American
people have determined to win
this fight and they will do it.”
MARION BUTLER.
Obituary.
Nirs. Alary J. Tucker was born
in Lincoln county, N. C., in 1823.
She died in Chattooga
Georgia, at the home of her daugh
ter, Mrs. Hawkins, June 12, 1895.
She was married to Win. H. Tuck
er, of this county, in 1845. For
fifty-one years they lived happily
together. They reared a family of
six children—all of them now liv
ing. When about eighteen years
of age she joined the Methodist
church and lived a consistent
member of it to the day of her
death. She was a kind neighbor,
a good wife, a devoted mother.
About three years ago, while on a
visit to Texas, she was stricken
with paralysis. From that time
she gradually declined in health .
until death released her from her
suffering. When the end drew
nigh she had no fear of death, but
for several days before she passed ■
away she was often saying, “What,
a grand and glorious thing it is to I
be prepared for death.” She left
a parting message for each of ‘her
absent children, clcsing each one
with the sweet request, “Meet me
in Heaven," and then entered into
“the rest which remaineth to the I
people of God.” J . C. R.
Vacation Time
Is at hand and is gladly welcomed
by all, especially those whose du
ties in life have caused them to
greatly run down their system to
meet the requirements, physical
and mental forced upon them.
With these and others, it is impor
tant, whether at home, at the sea
shore or in the country that some
thought be given to diet and as
further assistance to Nature, a
good building-up medicine like
Hood's Sarsaparilla had best be
resorted to. If the digestion is
poor, liver deranged and frequent
headaches seem to be the general
rule. Hood’s will change all this
and enable everyone to return to
their home and business in a re
freshed state of mind and bodily
health.
TEE G. N.& I. COLLEGE.
Some Interesting Facts Concern
ing This Model School For
Georgia Girls.
At Milledgeville, Baldwin coun
ty, is located one of the best prac
tical educational institutions in
the south, or even in the whole
country—the Georgia Normal and
Industrial College for girls. Fol
lowing are a few brief but interest
ing facts concerning th© history
and purposes of this model institu
tion.
The original bill for the estab
lishment of this college was intro
duced in the House of Representa
tives of the Georgia Legislature, in
1889, by Hon. W. Y. Atkinson, then
a member from Coweta county.
The measure met with great favor
and passed both houses by a large
majority and receiving the Gover
nor's signature, became a law . Af
ter the college was opened it stead
ily grew in popularity, its success
surpassing the expectations of its
most sanguine friends.
There is a bit of unwritten his
tory about the college that is very
interesting. It is generally known
that the idea of establishing this
college first originated with Mrs.
W. Y. Atkinson. A few weeks af
ter their marriage Mr. and Mrs.
Atkinson wore driving about the
country near their homo one day
when they saw two girls working
in a field. As they approached
the young women drew their bon
nets down, but not before Mrs. At
kinson caught a glimpse of their
faces and saw that they were both
intelligent looking and handsome.
A vision of their limited opportu
nities and narrow lives rose up be
fore her and she thought of what
such girls might be, and do, if fit
ted for broader and more congen
ial work, and with this thought
came the idea of a school for Geor
gia girls. From this tiny seed
grow tho Girls’ Normal and Indus
trial college. It has been careful
ly tended and watched over, since
its germination, by some of the
broadest minded and biggest heart
ed people in Georgia until it has
grown to its present proportions.
In no other school in America can
a girl got such splendid advantages
at so small a cost.
The object of tho state in estab
lishing this school is to provide for
the young women of Georgia the
special instruction and training
that will prepare them to earn
their own living by the vocation
of teaching, or by those industrial
arts and fine arts suitable for wo
men to pursue. Besides these two
main objects the student is taught
those branches of learning that
constitute a general good educa
tion. Thus any young women is
thoroughly equipped so far as edu
cational advantages go, to face life
in any situation.
Some young women may bo fool
ish enough to object to tho school
on tho score of its being for
poor girls. It is truly not a train
ing school for what is known as
society, but its students receive a
systematic education in the higher
branches of learning which pre
pares them to sustain themselves
in any circle of cultured society
in which they may have a place.
But the institution is thoroughly
practical in its methods and aims
because to the girls it is intended ,
to benefit most life is a thoroughly '
practical affair,
, Ail Georgia girls are admitted ,
free of tuition costs, the total ex
pense being for books, board and
I matriculation fee. Ono hundred
and ten dollars ($110.00) is a lib
’ eral estimate for all expenses, in
cluding every sort of incidental.
The school ] ast session had an at
tendance of 384, coming from 89
different counties in Georgia.
Many girls were turned away
from the school on account of the
limited capacity of the dormitory.
■ But the college is now prepared to
furnish ample accommodations to
all Georgia girls who may wish to
come, as a magnificent new dormi
tory has just been completed and
furnished throughout in the best
style at a cost of about $35,000.
The plan formerly pursued of re
quiring applicants for admittance
to pass the entrance examination
under the County School Commis
sioner at home has been abolished,
and hereafter all students will be
examined by the faculty after they
arrive in Milledgeville.
This school should receive the
patronage of Georgians on its mer
its as a school, and because it is
. one of the noblest institutions on
southern soil.
A handsome new illustrated cat
alogue of the schoel is just out and
may be obtained by those wishing;

the school upon application to the

“The editor sat in his office cold,
whence all but him had fled, but

his loyal editorial soul goes scoot
ing to the sky; when he’d roam
tho fields of paradise and sail over
jasper seas, and all things glorious
would combine, bis every sense to’

he'd look across the great gulf
dark and drear, that yawned be

who swindled here; and then for
water they should call and in agony

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
he ear. There is only one way to
cure deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta-
I chian Tube. When this tube gets
I inflamed you have a rumbling
i sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless theinflam
j mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi-
I tion, hearing will be destroyed for
ever; nine cases out of ten are
caused by catarrh, which is noth
ing but an inflamed condition of
the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dol
lars for any case of deafness caus
ied by catarrh that cannot be cur
led by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send

I hereby announce myself a can

Believing as I do that “a public
office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by the people is their
servant and not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing the money question as
the greatest issue of the day and
favoring tho fiee and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16
to 1 and following the teachings
of Jefferson and Jackson that
National Banks and Banks of issue
are dangerous to the welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Hence if elected
I will do all in my yower to elect
a man to the United State Senate
who favors the same.
Education is tho hope of tho
state, therefore I am in favor of a
liberal support of the public
schools.
