CHATTOOGA NEWS fl 00 Per Year In Advance. J. W, CAIN, Editor and Proprietor. MISS EDNA CAIN, Associate Editor. Summerville, Ga., Sep. 0, 1896- Entered at Summerville P. O. as se< ond class matter. DEMOCRATIC TICKET, For Senator 42nd District. WESLEY SH HOPS HIRE. For Representative. R. Y. RUDICIL. The silver craze just keeps a dy in’ out. Don’t it, now. 'l'ho Chattanooga Timos is doing yeomen service for McKinley. The recent hot weather is thought t) have been caused by Mark Han na’s fat frying process. - —•— ♦——• And now it is said that Bryan will carry the ward, city, county ami state of Billy McKinley. Mizzes Lease says Tom Watson is no gentleman. Tom retorts by s lying she’s not, either. The cotton crop us 1895amount* •<1 to 7,157,346 bales. This year’s crop will probably be less. ♦—> The editor of the Collinsville Clipper advertises that he has a h>g for sale. Ho don’t say wheth er it is a wild hog or not. It is siad that David B. Hill has accumulated in his wood shed a sufficiency of sawed fuel to last all winter. Commissioner Nesbitt says that the cotton cron in Georgia is one third off, and predicts that the price will go to 10 cents. No candidate for president ever aroused so much enthusiasm among the massesof the people as William J. Bryan. The records in the office of the weather bureau in Atlanta shows that the month past was the hot test August in the last eighteen years. The Murray County News is a new' venture in journalism at Spring Place, Henry and Watts, ed ters. It is a very newsy and inter esting sheet. —« A Methodist preacher in Western New York, the other day told his congregation that if they would give as much attention to free sal vation as they were giving to free silver, they would all be better off. "If we must part company with those w ho believe in a Government of syndicates,by syndicates for syn dicates, may we not appeal with confidence to those who believe that a Government of the people, by the people and for the people, should not perish from the earth." —W. J. Bryan. -4 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 hibition vote. Os course this dir •pensary plank will catch a few people, who think they are demo crats. but not many.—Dallas New Era. Some little time ago Benjamin M. Blackburn, of the Atlanta Com mercial, was known throughout Georgia as the "original Cleveland man," while now he is engaged in boosting Tom Watson for vice president- Ye gods and little fishes 1 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. Li Hung Chang. N. P.. of China, is over to see Grover, and incident ally to lay in a fresh supply of le gal blanks. Exchange Clippings. The people enjoy Seab Wright's speeches, but they are going to vote for Atkinson.—Enquirer Sun. There is a striking resemblance i between Li Hung Chang and Montgomery Folsom.—Dalton Cit izen. Mr. C . A . Howell, of Taliaferro ■ county, has a hen that he says is twenty-four years old and still does her duty in laying and raising chickens as when she was young. John Maddox is a winning card in this county. He suits the re-1 quiroments of the people. The peo-1 pie have tried him and they know he is alright and they are going to send him back.—Spring Place Jim-1 plecute. Murray is one of the counties in ■ the State in which the taxable I property has increased in value du ring the last year. The tax re turns show an increase of four thousand dollars over last year, al though the amount is small we think it is a very good showing for this county.—Murray News. , Only three months more and Leap Year will close. We will hftvo . no Leap Year in 1900, so if you j don’t want to wait girls, now is your time. Aint it, Jim Hall?— 'j . . ) Dalton Citizen. “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. > Paulding county has produced a moonshiner only 14 years old. The precocious youth operated on the idea that the early bird catches the worm,butin thisinstance the reve nue officers caught bird, worm, and still all at one swoop. 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 learn that their candidate for Gov ' ernor of Georgia is a stockholder in the Atlanta National Bank. This ’ is the ground on which the Popu lists refused to support Mr. Sewall for vice-president.—Marietta Jour nal. ——— ♦ -4 ♦ Arkansaw sees Vermont’s ante and raises it by 45,00 majority. Arkansaw is all right. 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. ( Send for circulars and testimonials. Address, : . F. J.

Congressman Livingston and Maddox are two of the four Georgia members who voted for silver first, last and all the time. They are two of the most energetic and active work ers in congress today, and they are ready to give an account of their steward= ship. COME AND HEAR THEM! Col. Livingston is con= ceded to be one of the best political debaters in Geor= gia today. He has a fund of wit, humor and anec dote that will amuse and instruct you. Judge MaddoX Wants the people of his home county to hear the message that he brings., He is especially anxious for the people, among whom he was born and raised, to know whether he has faithfully dis= charged the trust reposed in him or not, and he asks you all to meet him here next Saturday. Next Saturday! Next Saturday! Arkansaw wont Democratic last ’ Monday by 60,000 majority, an in crease over two years ago of about 25,000. That’s not bad. Notice to Baptists. To the Baptist churches comprising e Chattooga County Asssociation:—l desire to call attention to the fact, that at our last association wc agreed to support our aged brother, Rev. J. J. Andrews. About one half of the churches have contributed (some of them liberally) while the other half has done nothing. I wish to state to all the churches that Bro. Andrews is in great need. Will the churches please send their contribution to the Associa tion and all the churches send pledges in their letters to the Association, sla ting what they will agree to do another year. J. N.

Davis, democratic I ■ candidates for the legislature, today 1 i submitted their claims to a committee I consisting of two men from each of the ten districts in.the county. The com ! mittee after much discussion decided that Cureton was the strongest man, when Davis withdrew from the race. Oliver Waters Dead. Mr. Oliver P. Waters, of Haywood district, one of the best known citizens of the county, died very suddenly of heart disease last Monday evening. He was in his usual health during the day, and came in from the field in the eve ning and sat down to rest. Suddenly he fell from his chair and in a few mfnutes was dead. It is thought that heart disease was the cause of his death. Mr Waters was about 79 years of age, and was a hale and hearty old man. He had lived in Chatooga the greater part of his life and was quite well known throughout the county. * t BIG SILVER RALLY To Be Held at Dalton Saturday September 19.
