The friends of Mr. Lewis Archer,

several r ays.
Miss Jessie Caldwell, the only
daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Joe Cald
well, was married on Wenesday. Oct.
4th, at the home of her parents on

City. The bride was a lovable and
popular young lady. They «ill reside
in New York City.
The Primary Election.
We have said that primary elections
have been diverted from their original
purpose. We still think that the sys
tem has been diverted, but we cannot
say perverted. We still think that the
plan of a bunch or knot of men get
ting together and scheming to set for
ward any special set of candidates, is
not proper, after the setting of a pri
mary for the selection of candidates.
It forestalls the true primary. It cats
off fair competition at the polls. It
overrules the plans of the constituted
committee, who are authorized to pre
pare plans for the primary. Such
methods of forestalling and overriding
properly constituted committees we
do not believe is the way for fair play
and true harmony. But in the plan
of conducting the primary, we believe
it is a fine system. It prevents many
,<jt tha old ele.«tfa>a ivami- election
days.
Candidates have a fair and equal
chance at the polls. Hack hirelings
and ward heelers have passed away.
We commend _the system, and we
heartily approve and endorse the
primary system at the election pre
cincts. We think the City Executive
Committee did a graceful and proper
thing when they gave a vote of ap
proval and thanks to Capt. W. H.
Brotherton, who has so faithfully
worked out and and set in practice
such an excellent plan for manage
ment at the precincts. We think he
deserves much praise for his skillful
plan. Now let the executive commit
tee prepare appropriate rules to pre
vent any more forestalling, and re
quire all candidates to stand squarely
out before the people without any
previous dining saucuses, or any
back-room indorsement, by self-con
stituted committees. Let them do
away with any preliminary so-called
massmeetings, gotten up to favor cer
tain men, or corporations, and let
such tricks and schemes be set aside,
as with the heelers, and the primary
system may have much in it to be fa
vored. Such preliminary schemes are
but another plan and advance action
of hackers and heelers, on a concen
trated form. Away with them. Let
us have a canvass open to all who wish
to be candidates, let the people choose
of them, and give us a free ballot and
fair count.
ENTERTAINMENT.
The ladies of St. Mary’s Guild, of
the Church of the Incarnation, in West
End, will give an interesting enter
tainmentin Caldwell’s Hall next Tues
day evening, October 10th, with oyster
supper, coffee, cakes, and tea. All
the generous folks are invited to at
tend and contribute. The charge is
moderate, only 25 cents. Fun is to
.fee the order of social enjoyment.
DECLINED TO RECONSIDER.
Carolina Board of Control Keep«
Douthit Out.
A Columbia, S. C., dispatch says:
Thursday morning the state board of
control upon assembling took up the
■Pouthit case, and voted down a reso
lution by Mr. Williams looking to a
further hearing for Mr. Douthit. The
division of the members was the same.
As soon as the official notice of
removal is served on Mr. Douthit his
attorneys will serve a paper on the
board setting forth that Mr. Douthit
declines to vacate the office until
“legally removed.”
This will doubtless cause tjie whole
matter to be aired in the courts.
PRESIDENT’S ADDRESS
On Handing Dewey the Congress
ional Sword of Honor—The
Admiral’s Reply.
In presenting to Admiral Dewey the
magnificent sword at Washington
Tuesday, President McKinley said:
“Admiral Dewey: From your en
trance in the harbor of New York with
your gallant and valiant ship, the de
monstrations which everywhere have
greeted you reveal the public esteem
of your heroic action and the fullness
of the love in which you are held by
your country.
“The voice of the nation is lifted in
praise and gratitude for the distin
guished and memorable services you
have rendered the country, and all
the people give you affectionate wel
come heme, in which I join with all
my heart. Your victory exalted Ameri
can vqjor and extended American
authority.
“There is no flaw in your victory,
there will be no faltering in maintain
ing it. (Great applause.) It gives me
extreme pleasure and great honor in
behalf of all the people to hand you
this sword, the gift of the nation
voted by the congress of the United
States. ”
The president handed the admiral
the sword with a deep bow, and there
was a roar of applause as Dewey re
ceived it. The crowd was hushed as
he turned to reply. Admiral Dewey
said:
“I thank you, Mr. President, for
this great honor you have conferred
upon me. I thank the secretary of
the navy for his gracious words. I
thank my countrymen for this beauti
ful gift, which shall be an heirloom in
my family forever as an evidence that
republics are not ungrateful, and I
thank you, Mr. Chairman and gentle
men of the committee, for the gracious,
cordial and kindly welcome which you
have given me to my home.”
CARTER IN COURT.
Hearing in Habeas Corpue Proceeding#
Held in New York.
Oberlin M. Carter, the engineering
captain, who is under sentence of five
years’ imprisonment after conviction
on the charge of conspiracy to defraud
the government, was taken from Gov
ernor’s Island to the United States
circuit court in New York Wednesday
on a writ of habeas corpus in his be
half obtained Monday. Judge La-
Combe was on the bench.
On the question of sentence it was
claimed by Carter’s attorneys the
court had acted in excess of its pow
ers, beyond jurisdiction and contrary
to law. ,
Colonel Clous, in reply, held that
the action of a courtmartial cannot be
reviewed by any civil court.
Counsel submitted briefs. Judge
LaCombe reserved decision on the
writ and ordered Captain Carter back
to the custody of Captain Roberts, of
Governor’s island.

from his long career in crime, “Jim
my” Logue, the famous ex-convict

B AIL "REFUSED ACTRESS.
Judge Bstill Remandi Miss -Julia MorrS.
son to Friso*.
At Chattanooga, Tenn., Wednesday,
Judge Floyd Estill refused to graat
Miss Julia Morrison, the murderess of
Actor Leidenheimer, bail, and she was
returned to jail to await the January
term of court. When Judge Estill
announced his decision Miss Morrison
broke down and wept bitterly.
In delivering his decision Judge Es
till stated the proof against the pris
oner was of such a damaging nature
that, under no circumstances, would
■he admit her to bail. He said the
state had conclusively proven that the
murder was malicious, yvillful and
premeditated.

Mt. Zion avenue, in the village of Mt.

Six acres on Satterfield Ford road,
5 miles from Greenville, in Greenville

Three lots at Montreal, on G. C. &
N. railroad, DeKalb county, Ga.
One lot 52x120 feet, on west side of
Violet avenue, Atlanta, Ga.
1,100 acres; 700 hammock, 400 up
land, in Screven county, Ga. This is
a fine place, divided by the Georgia
Central railroad, 50 miles from Savan
nah. Railroad station on the place; good
location for country store. Splendid
situation for factory for staves and
cooperage works. Enough good tim
ber on the hammock land to pay for
the place three or four times over.
Investors are invited to examine this
place.
1.149 acres on west bank of Savan
nah river, in Effingham county, Ga.,
giant of 1784, and descent of title to
present owner.
1.150 acres on Satilla river, in Cam
dem county, Ga., grant from state,
and deeds on record for 100 years
back. Good title, by descent to pres
ent owner.
1,150 acres on St. Mary’s river, in
Camden county, Ga. Grant aud deeds
on record 100 years back. Good title,
by descent to present owner.
430 acres on west bank of Savannah
river, in Screven county, Ga. Deeds
on record since 1827. Good title, by
descent to present owner.
All of these lands are available for
agriculture, stock raising, mining,
or timbers. Some few of the lots in
north Georgia are in the hills, but
they have the advantage of being sit
uated in the finest section of country
for minerals. Several of these lots
have been examined, or, as the assay
ists and miners would say, have been
prospected, and found to bear fine de
posits of gold, silver, iron, copper and
marble. The state of Georgia is de
veloping some of the finest mineral
resources in this country, in coal, co
rundum, gold, silver, copper, man
ganese, and other minerals,and marble,
also a variety of the finest timbers for
all sorts of manufactures of wooden
wares and furniture. The state is
noted for its salubrious climate, and
its remarkable adaptability for all kind!
of agricultural products, fruits and
vegetables. Some of these lands, now
offered, are as fine as any in the world
for fruits and cereals.
A prominent real estate journal, the
“American Land and Title Register,"
recently used a paragraph under the
head of “Investments and Specula
tions,” and it impresses me as being
so appropriate, that I quote it here as
follows: "Real estate is the thing,
above all others, that furnishes a field
for investment that is absolutely safe
”?d profit bearing. It is the material
interest itself, and it cannot be de
stroyed by bad management, extrava
gant methods, competition, ’ casualty,
dishonesty in management or legisla
tion. Its value cannot be depressed
by any of these causes. Investments
in real estate, judiciously made, can
not fail to be profitable. If you want
to get rich, buy real estate aud know
what you are getting; if you want to
gamble, buy stocks and let some one
else know what they are giving you.”
I desire to sell these lands as soon
as possible, and they must go at low
prices, very low for cash, or on easy
terms and long time with 5 per cent
interest, as purchasers may desire and
prefer. Persons desirous of investing
money for future profits by enhance
ments should examine these offers at
once. I have other lands, which I
will sell on good terms and low prices.
In writing for information about any
of these lands, refer to them by th/?
number, district, section and county,
and enclose two stamps, 4 cents, for
reply. Robert L. Rodgbbs,

408 “Tho Grand” —Office of
“The Georgia Record,”
Atlanta, Georgia.
To Readers of The Record:
Perhaps yon are aware of the publi
cation of “Tub Georgia Record,” a
weekly newspaper issued every Satur
day. It is increasing in interest amongst
those who have been reading it from
the first issue. We desire aud hope
to make it still more, interesting as we
progress with it. We are particularly
desirous of having your name on our
list as a regular subscriber and reader,
and as a helper in our progress and
improvement. We are planning to
make it a first-class journal of the
times, or, as its name imports, we
wish to make it “The Gbobgia
Record” of all notable persons or
noteworthy events. In order to ac
complish our purpose, it is necessary
for our patrons to aid us in a substan
tial way, and so it becomes essential
to have subscriptions paid up in ad
vance, or as closely as possible, for the
mutual benefit of subscriber and pub
lisher. Our subscription price is very
small, simply about the cost of the
paper. If we can have it in advance we
certainly can apply it for better ad
vantage than if wo have to vait for it
some time. Os course the small sum
of one subscription can be paid by
yon as well at one time as another. To
you it is a small item. In the aggre
gate the matter is important to the
publisher. One subscription may be
merely a mite. One thousand may be
mighty or much to the progressive de
velopment of the newspaper. Os
course the mutual advantage of ad
vance payment of your subscription
will bo obvious to you on a moment’s
consideration.
You are now respectfully requested
to let us have your subscription money
by return mail, or otherwise as may be
convenient to you, as early as practi
cable. Will yon not be pleased to re
mit the price for one year,—one dol
lar? Os course for a shorter time, if
you prefer it, but a year will be the
better for both of us. If it is not con
venient for yon to remit, just write us
a few words on a postal card to call on
you, and we will appear before you
very soon.
We feel confident that a trial of
subscription will so interest you, that
you will continue to be n regular sub
scriber. Please respond promptly.
Very Cordially Yours,
Robert L. Rodgers,
Editor and Publisher of “The Geor
gia Record.” If
