trouble about it is that too many
of us cannot bring ourselves to
sympathise* with hearts that have
the misfortune to ache outside the
pale of respectability.
The senior editor of the News is
away, on a much needed vacation
and is not to be- held responsible
for any of the political or other
eccentricities that may appear in
those columns during his absence.
Col. Rankin, who wants to go to
congress from this district, is run
ning independent of all political
parties and when the final count is
made it will bo seen that he has
been running independent of all
voters. See?—Ringgold New South.
The fact that Warren A. Cand
ler and Sam Jones, two of the lead
ing Prohibitionists in the state,
have repudiated the Populist can
didate for Governor should do
much to hold prohibition demo
crats in lino.
Dr. Nansen should take a slice

Sam Jones and Dr. Chandler
have political sense as well as a
tin-rough knowledge of men. They
/ are themselves men of deep thought
sound reason and lasting convic

Young Sewall is a Republican

against his father, the Democratic
imminei- for Vice-President, Hon.
M *ses R. Wright of Rome is a
Democrat and will stump the state
against his brother Seab, who is
the propopi boss and wants to be
Governor of the sore head element.

After a careful investigation of
all official reports received at his
office, and after a personal inspec
tion of the crops in nearly all parts
of the state, Commissioner of A
griculture Nesbitt estimates the
damage from the heat and drought
t ■ the cotton crop at 33 per cent.
A conservative estimate of the crop
this year places it at 8,000,000
bales. The original estimate wont
above 10,000,000 bales.
Speaking of the prohibition
plank in the Seab Wright platform
adopted by populist bosses, Mr.
Atkinson said that Georgia Demo
cracy had many years ago taken
the position that the liquor traffic
wa- right or it was wrong, and had
euact“d the local option law under
which 100 counties in Georgia are
today “dry.” ‘‘And, 5 ’ said he, “no
d- tnocratic governor of Georgia
ha« over vetoed a prohibition mea
sure that had been enacted into a
law.” As to himself he had always
in local option lights voted a dry
ticket —Rome Hustler.
The Wesleyan Christian Advo
vocate, the Methodist organ, has
a strong editorial in its last issue
which is in line with the interview
from Dr. Chandler. It does not
think that the Prohibitionists of
Georgia should lend themselves to
the Populists to be ridden into of
fice on.
After forty-eight hours of obsti
nate deadlock in the fourth dis
trict convention at Warm Springs,
W. C. Adamson was nominated for
Congress on the 239th ballot. He
succeeds C. L. Moses. His home
is at Carrollton and he has a splen
did record as judge of the city
court, having held that position
since 1885. Judge Adamson is a
good Democrat and has been ac
tive in the councils of the party
for years.

In Memory
Os Jonathan H. Ellison, who
departed this life July 20th 1896.
He was born in Walton county,
Ga-, May 5, 1822; at the age of 18
years his father moved to Tennes
see near Chattanooga. There they
lived 7 years when they moved to
Lookout mountain, Ala., where he
lived the balance of his life.
June 2, 1850, he was married to
Miss Lamirian Baker near Menlo,
Ga. March Ist 1863, ho moved to
the George O’Rear place. Near
Little River falls, some time in '
the year 1856 he professed a hope 1
in Christ and joined the Methodist
church after which thechurch was
disbanded and he joined the Bible
Christian church, from which he
has since lived a true and upright
Christian life. He raised a family
of 9 children to be grown and lived
to see them all converted and bap
tised but one. Ho raised his chil
dren to be strict, upright and hon
est, and he himself, was ever faith
ful and true in all his dealings and
all he come in contact with honor
ed and respected him.
Ho bore his sickness with pa
tience and was never heard to mur
mur or complain. He had faith
ful and devoted attention from
physicians and friends, but noth
ing could stop the progress of the
fell disease, cancer on the face.
His remains were followed to the
grave by a large host of friends, he
being buried in the Little River
cemetery. The funeral services
were conducted by Revs. J. W. S.
Higgins and J. L. Pauter.
A Friend.
The pops claim that the demo
crats have endorsed or accepted
their platform. When Chairman
Clay, of the State Democratic com
mittee, and Tom Watson met on
the streets of Atlanta the other
day, he asked Watson if the demo
crats had stole their platform why
did they not unite with the demo
crats. Watson only smiled and
passed on . “Where was he at?”
The joke of the season is to see
Seab Wright posing as having nev
er been a member of a political
party. It has been less than, or
only about, four years since Seab
Wright was chairman of the Dem
ocratic Executive Committee of
Floyd. Mr. Wright held that of
fice in the Democratic party when
he called on his Maker in that
year's State convention to witness
the purity of his democracy—and
that was about the time he bought
the Rome Tribune and was trying
to succeed Mr. Everett, of Fish
Creek, in Congress. If the Hustler
of Rome remembers there was no
prohibition planks in the platform
he wanted to mount, either. Seab
is all right personally—politically’
be is Seab Wright, the heir appa
rent to that prince of Hoppers, Dr.
W. 11. Felten. —Rome Hustler.

Tarver McAfee Shot.
’ Tarver McAfee while out on a
government raid after moonshin
ers a few weeks ago was shot bv
. one of two brothers named Strick
r
land up in Northeast Georgia. The
’ bullet went into the scalp behind
the right ear coming out just be
hind the left ear. He was taken
to a hotel in Gainesville where Dr.
Bailey’ waited on him for two weeks.
The matter was kept quiet for two
reasons, one, to keep it from agita
ting his family here and the other
to make sure as to who did the
dastardly deed. One of the Strick
lands hung around Gainesville
several days and went home and
bragged about it thus giving him
self and brother away. They are
now apprehended and in jail. He
is a brother of Mayor Glenn Mc-
Afee, of Dalton.—Dalton Citizen.
On the 13th of August, 1895, the
first bale of new cotton was re
ceived in Augusta. On the 13th
of August, 1896, 240 new bales
i had been received and they are
I coming into that market at the
rate of 100 a day.
Among the poorer classes in
England there are some strange
notions regarding the law of hus
band and wife. A woman solemn
ly appealed to one of the London
: Magistrates the other day to advise
her whether she was compelled to
wash her husband’s brother’s shirts
j and seemed surprised to learn that
i she was not.
The death of Jose Maceo, the late
dashing loader of the Cuban field
forces, was characteristic of the ir
repressible spirit that made the
American colonies free, and will
certainly free Cuba in the end. An
eye witness, who has just arrived,
says that Maceo, being shot through
the neck with a rille ball, fell hoad
ong to the ground, half raised him
self for a moment and shouted:
‘‘We have won the fight! I am
glad to die! Cuba! Cuba!” That
cry will echo round the world,
striking a sympathetic chord in
the heart of every true lover of
liberty.
Fully 1,500 people from Polk and
the surrounding counties gathered
at Rockmart on Thursday to wit
ness the reunion of the surviving
members of the gallant old Firs}
Georgia cavalry. After dinner the
regiment, which numbered about
100 strong, all the companies being
represented, held its annual elec
tion. Dr. W. 11. Boyd, of Rome,
was elected president; Lieut.
James Gilreath, of Bartow, vice
president; and W. C. Edwards, of
Cartersville, secretary. Carters
ville was chosen as the next place’
of meeting, on the first Thursday
in August next year.
Schley is a prohibition county
but the old spirit of true Democ
racy is as strong here as ever, and
the Populist-Prohibition fusionists
need not count on receiving sup
port from a single Democratic vo
ter. Hon. Seaborn wright, the
Populist nominee for governor, is
no doubt a good man, but the tend
ency of Populism is towards so
cialism and we cannot afford by
division and strife to hazard Dem
ocratic success in the state. In the
settlement of all issues we must be
one in party purpose and in devo
tion to the principles of Jefferson,
Jackson and other distinguished
Democrats whose names are an
“aureole around the brow of the
nation.” —Schley County News.
It has been rumored for some
time that Secretary of the Interior
Hoke Smith would resign, and he
has actually done so and his resig
nation has been accepted. After
the nomination of Bryan and Sew
all Secretary Smith was the only
member of the cabinet to announce
an intention of supporting the tick
et, and this, presumably,led to his
resignation, Ex-govornor Francis,
of Missouri las been appinted to
succeed Mr. Smith.

LaFayotte McWhorter can no
longer be numbered with the
Methodists. Saturday he rode in
to Duck Creek at the Rogers Ford,
on his filly, and dropped the bridle
to let her drink. As he looked
around he saw an impudent moc
casin swimming toward him. He
had a green walnut in his hand,
and thought it would be a credit
able thing if he could kill the
sake with it. Ho drew back and
throw. Just as the walnut struck
the water, the filly jumped from
under him. He went o'Ver back
wards and was lost to sight, covered
with water. The first intimation
his mother-in-law, Mrs Alexander,
had of the occurrence, was when
Jasper Adkins rode up to the gate
and asked her: “Did they sing
‘Will the Waters Be Chilly,’ when
they baptized LaFayatte?”—Wal

Deafness Cannot Be Cured
by local applications as they can
not reach the diseased portion of
’he ear. There is only one way to
euro deafness and that is by con
stitutional remedies. Deafness is
caused by an inflamed condition
of the mucous lining of the Eusta
chian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling
sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed deafness
is the result and unless the inflam
mation can be taken out and this
tube restored to its normal condi
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
ed by catarrh that cannot be cur
ed by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send
for circulars, free.

I hereby announce myself a can
didate for the office of Tax Receiv
er of Chattooga county and ask
the support of the voters at the
coming election. Respectfully,
11. J. Perry.
For Representative.
I hereby announce myself a can
didate to represent the people of
Chattooga county in the next Gen
eral Assembly.
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 the flee 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 issqe
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 the hope of the
state, therefore I am in favor of a
liberal support of the public
schools.
I oppose the present convict sys
tem as it is inhumane and in com
petition with free labor.
As the price of the products of
’abor has decreased and the pur
chasing power of money has in
creased and I deem it just and
right that fees and salaries be re-I
duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county J am very’ respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
For Clerk.
Thanking the votersol the coun
ty for past favors shown me, I

ty- . J. V. Wheeler.
For Treasurer.
I hereby’ announce myself a can
didate for re-election to the office
of County’ Treasurer and respect
fully’ solicit the support of every
voter in the county. My friends
know my’ physical condition and
their support at the October elec
tion will be greatly appreciated by
one who has tried and will contin
ue to tiw to fill the treasurer’s of
fice with squareness, fairness and
