Every man who has brains enough
to vote knows if he should vote for
Wright; his vote would be counted
as a populist vote and not as a pro

crats. but not many.—Dallas New

Some little time ago Benjamin
M. Blackburn, of the Atlanta Com

What apolitical gyration! There's
lots of funny things to be found
under the tent of the political cir
cus other than the proverbial cage
of monkeys.
The nominations for congress
from this state have all been made.
The list shows that only five men
of the o’d delegation will go back
to Washington, these are Lester,
Livingston, Bartlett, Maddox and
Tate, *»f the First Fifth. Sixth,
Seventh and ninth districts re
spectively. The in w men will be
Griggs succeeding Russell in the
Secmd, Lewis succeeding Crisp in
the Third, Adamson succeeding
Moses in the Fourth, Fleming suc
ceeding Black in the Tenth and
Brantley succeeding Turner in the ;
eleventh. *|
When Mr- Atkinson was a can*
didate for governor two years ago
there were many people who re
garded him of a mere political ad
venturer, and for that reason were
loth to give him their support,
even after he had received the
nomination. Now that he has
passed through an ordeal of watch*
ful scrutiny such as few’ governors
of Georgia have ever before under
gone, and has come out with a rec
ord for faithful, able and efficient
service equal to the best, it is but
a matter of common justice for
his former opponents to recognize
this fact and give him their hearty
and enthusiastic support for a sec
ond term. The people of Georgia,
as a rule, are willing to amend
their judgment when they find
themselves in error, and we be
lieve that Governor, Atkinson
will receive an overwhelming en
dorsement at the polls in October.
Mr. Hester, the famous statistic
ian of the New Orleans Cotton Ex
change, says that during the twelve
months just closed, the southern
cotton mills increased their con
sumption of cotton by 41,868 bales,
while the northern mills did not
use so much as the year previous
by 483,000 bales. The natural drift
of the cotton manufacturing inter
ests is toward the south, and this
tendency is likely to be increased
rather than diminished when the
advantages of this section are more
' fully understood by those who have
capital to invest. With an abun
dance of cheap coal, with a climate
• unsurpassed, plenty of excellent
■ help, and with cotton right at the
mill doors, the south will one day
lead the world in the manufacture
of cotton goods.
i .—««
Gov. Atkinson’s administration
has been progressive and aggress
ive. He has saved the state about
$15,000 by compelling the banks to
1 pay interest on the state deposits.
' Ho has been aggressive in his ef
forts to suppress the evils of lynch
ing; he has used every possible es
. fort to abate the abuses of the co'i
. vict system, and in fact he has
been alive and alert to every inter
est of all the people, both white
and black. The colored peojWe of
’ Gergia are not slow to show their
1 appreciation of his efforts to pro
tect them from mob violence, and
if present indications count for
. anything, he will get at least three
fourths of the colored vote in the
state.
I • ■
Cockran’s speech is well calcula
ted to make votes for Mr. Bryan in
1 every southern state, for southern
ers will delight to resent this par
agraph :
Will you submit to this conspi
racy between the professional far
mers, the farmers who cultivate
the quarrels of their neighbors, far
mers who labor with their jaws,
populist agitators of the west and
the unreconciled slave-holders of
the south? This is a conspiracy
between professional farmers, who
wan’t to pay low wages, and the un
reconciled slave-holders, who would
Ike to pay no wages at all.
Rev. Mr. Lovejoy, pastor of the
Fit st Methodist Church of Athens,
has written a play for the Banner.
It is a drama in two acts and is
chiefly condemnatory of the dis
pensary system. He charges that
three young men have been crazed
by drink in the Classic City during
the past three months and driven
to suicide's graves.
No one of the Georgia congress
man have represented their constit
uents more faithfully than John
Maddox, of the Bloody Seventh.
And they do say that the boys are
going to send him back for another
term.
Secretary Hoke Smith has proven
his loyalty to the Democratic party
at no small sacrifice and his course
in tendering his resignation as a
member of Mr. Cleveland's cabinet
is, under the circumstances, worthy
of all commendation.
At the bolting, gold Democratic
convention held at Indianopolis
last Thursday John M. Palmer, of
Illinoir, was nominated for presi
dent. and Simon B. Buckner, of
Kentucky, for vice. The general
impression is that the action of
these disgruntled soreheads will be
in the interest of Bryan rather than
McKinley. It is not thought pos
sible that the ticket will cut any
figure in the campaign, as these
gentlemen represent practically no
body but themselves.

Murray is one of the counties in ■
the State in which the taxable I

this county.—Murray News.

“A plain-goin’ man, with a heap
o’ sense, and bein’ sociable like, he
, catches the boys. They can’t beat
him,” was the judgement of an old
' New York farmer on Air. Bryan
after meeting him.

moonshiner only 14 years old. The

idea that the early bird catches the

Unless all signs fail Mr. Bryan
■ will receive a vast majority of the
popular vote of the country. If the
Populists had been as patriotic as
i they c’aim he would have been elec
ted easily. Even with the present
i division of the silver forces his
chances are good.
The Pops are now surprised to

LYERLY, GA..
To the churches of the Chattooga
Association :—As President and
Financial Secretary of the board
of Lyerly High School, I desire to
call your attention to the fact that
the property at Lyerly, purchased
by the Association, has not yet
been fully paid for. I would es
pecially urge that each church do
its part in this important matter.
Send your delegates to the Associa
tion prepared and equipped to meet
this obligation. If any church
cannot raise the money before the
Association meets send your dele
gates fully instructed as to how to
act in the matter.
Brethren this is not my property)
nor is it my debt, but it is the debt
of each and every Baptist in the
Association, and when the debt is
paid it will be the property of the
whole Association. AV ill you meet
the obligations and own the prop
erty? How can we, as an Associa
tion, afford not to do this?
Fraternally,
J. H. Glazner.
There is more catarrh in this sec
tion of the country than all the
other diseases put together, and
until the last few years was sup
posed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced it
a local disease, and prescribed lo
cal remedies for, and by constantly
failing to cure with local treatment
pronounced it incurable. Science'
has proven catarrh to be a consti
tutional disease, and therefore re
quires constitutional treatment.
Hall's Catarrh cure, manufactured
by F. J. Cheney & Co., Toledo, Ohio,
is the only constitutional cure on
the market. It is taken internally
in doses from 10 drops to a tea
spoonful. It acts directly on the
blood and mucous surfaces of the
system. They offer one hundred ,
dollars for any case it fails to cure. (

great need. Will the churches please

tion and all the churches send pledges
in their letters to the Association, sla

Oliver Waters Dead.
Mr. Oliver P. Waters, of Haywood

heart disease last Monday evening. He
was in his usual health during the day,
and came in from the field in the eve

he fell from his chair and in a few
mfnutes was dead. It is thought that
heart disease was the cause of his
death.

had lived in Chatooga the greater part
of his life and was quite well known
throughout the county.

Chattooga county in the next Gen
eral Assembly.
Believing as Ido that'“a public
office is a public trust;” that a
man elected by tho people is their
servant find not their master;
therefore if elected I will, to the
best of my ability, represent the
people regardless of any party.
Viewing tho 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 issue
aro dangerous to tho welfare and
liberties of the people and ought
to be suppressed. Hence if elected
I will do al! 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 a,m in favor of a
liberal support of the public
schools.
I oppose tire 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
duced.
Asking the support of every man
in the county I am fefy respect
fully. A. J. Moore.
For Clerk.
Thanking the voters of thecoun
ty for past favors shown me, I
again ask their kind consideration
of my candidacy for Clerk of the !
Superior court of Chattooga coun
ty- J. V, Wheeler.
For Treasurer. ,
I hereby announce myself a can
didato for re-election to the cilice
of County Treasurer and respect
luily solicit the support of -rvery
voter in the county. My friends
know my physical condition and
their support at the October elec

one who has tried and will contin
ue to try to fili the treasurer’s of
fice with squareness, fairness and
accommodation to all. 1 feel very
