CHATTOOGA NEWS fl 00 Per Year Is Advance. J. W. CAIN, Editor and' Proprietor. MISS EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summerville, Ga., AUG. 26,1896- Entered at Summerville P. O. as sec ond class matter. DEMOCRATIC TICKET. For Senator 42nd District. WESLEY SHROPSHIRE. For Representative. R. V. RUDICIL. Woman’s way : woman sway. The man who is bravo enough t<> face Hanger ami death has not nerve enough to have an aching tooth extracted. It is hard to please people. A few weeks ago the gold bug organs v re abusing McKinley for his si lence ami now they are after Bry an for talking too much, People who watch the weather and know about its signs and such like, say that there will bo no more hot nights. After the middle of August there is always a touch of autumn in the night air. - All of us are sympathetic. The 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 of this weather to the north pole and cool it oil. —Dalton Citizen. Why not bring down a splinter fr->m the Polo and cool the weath er where it is? 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 tions. Os course all such men choose Atkinson, the orator and statesmen over Wright, the orator. —Rome Hustler. . I I ■■■ ■■ Young Sewall is a Republican and is stumping the state of Maine 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. Rome Hustler. 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. - - <1 1W St 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.

I 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. In Memory. Os Nellie Lois, infant daughter of Henry and Mannie Chinn, was born April 22, 1895 and died at Lovejoy, Ga., August 18, 1896. For sixteen months had she glad dened and brightened the home for father and mother, but no more will her sweet dark eyes smile a welcome to papa or look confidingly in the fond niether’f face and hold out her little hands to be taken to her rare Jesting place. Weep not father and moth er for the babe that has gone. She is now safe in the arms of the Heavenly Father and of such is ■ the kingdom of Heaven. * TRION NEWS.

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 ker County Messinger. 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. F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, O.

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.
