Goldsmith Elector, came down the line
and the auctioneer yelled, ooh what
sweet trotter," Uncle Bob brushed all
the buttons off the crowd as he went to
him like hot cakes and said, 81 take
him, how much do you want" At any
rate the boys owned one of the incest

Owners Statement.
Goldsmith Elector is one of the
incest representatives of the Electioneer
family. A rich mahogany bay with left
front pastor and both ankles white.
He is grand stock horse but we haye
good many of his FLIES and must re-.
place him with something to use on
them. Goldsmith Elector is one of the
finest drivers man ever sat behind; can
go fast, is good headed and all you will
need is harness and vehicle for he goes
without weights, boots or trappings. l
shall bring his speed and good manners
to the sale with him so look him up and
keep watch of him."
The boys will stand this horse next
spring and Decatur county is fortunate
to get into its midst such fine horse
as there are. plenty of young driving
fllies here and good breeding and nice
dryers bring the top price.

POLITICAL RUM0RS .
Will J. M. Smith Be Doomed for Governor
Of Georgia.

Atlanta, Dec, 7.-Poiitical rumors
are floating around fact. And they
are arising because so many politicians
are in town. Hon. J, M. Smith. Hop.
J. M. Terrell, He = Pope Brown, Hon
Fleming G, duBignon, and Hon. K.
T. Brown met in the office of Cover
nor Gambler yesterday afternoon.
This big conference set the politicians
to talking and they have been talking
ever since,
And yesterday afternoon It was
reported that Pope Brown and Jim
Smith held lengthy conference in the
Office of the railroad commission. To-
day the question is bsing asked,
"What means this oonference?" 10 it
that Jim Smith is going to be in the
race for governor. or does 1t mean that
Pope Brown has agreed to retire?
hear that Pope Brown has been
promised reappointment as railroad
commissionerwhen his present term sx-
pires il he does not run for the place,
Then / hear another crowd is going
to make an effort to get Jim Smith, j.
II. Estill, and Henry G. Turner in the
mix.up against Joe Terrell, 80 as to
send the delegates 60 the convention
about evenly divided. But 1t is possi
BILE to hear almost anything here now.
Still, as have said all along, the olos
ing days of the Legislature are always
the most interesting and the political
men fiOck here from all sections of the
6 country.
All Of them seem to be anxious to get
into the schemes that are being arr
ranged, and nobody seems to desire to
get left.

A. L. FRANKLIN,
w. s., TAYLOR,

, ed Of Messrs. w. B. Cook, M. Kaiser,
A, v. Wood and A. T.. franklin. Mr..
Wood declined to accept this nOmina at
ion, and = subsequent meeting of
citizens substituted the name of Mr..
W. 8. Taylor for that of Mr.. Wood.
These meeting we're called in good
faith. Tdey were attended by a large
number of our best citizsns. They
represented the business interests of
our city. They were nominated by no
clique, ring or faction. They wers not
run by politicians, but by our best
business men. The leaders of the
faction known as the "Law and Order
League" we're urged to attend these
meetings and unite with other good
citizens in the harmonious adjustment
of faotional differences. Many of the
most prominent citizens belonging to
that organization did attend these
meetings, participated in them. and are
now endorsing the action there taken.
Some of them who were dissatisfied ON
account Of their failure to control the
second meeting Pepudiated its action
and subsequently nominated another
ticket.
Your support for the ticket compos-
ed of Messrs. Cock, Kaiser, Taylor and
Franklin is invited upon the following
grounds:
1t stands for unanimity of action on
the part Of all good citszens in an ef-
fort to lay aside factional feeling and
join the procession of progress.
Ills composed of intelligent, capable,
progressive, honorable men, who re-.
gard public office as a public trust.
1t is composed OF men who cannot be
controlled in the interest of any clio g
or ring, but whO will administer public
affairs solely for the public good.
The gentlemen on this ticket, while
they dc not advocate the reinearnation
Of the ancient "Blue Laws" of Come
ticutt, all stand, and for many years
have stood both by precept and exam =
pie, for the observance Of law and the
preservation Of order.
They represent the business men of
the city and have been nominated by
business men who have stake in the
welfare Of the city, rather than by a
faction willing to venture the whole
future upon one narrow idea peculiar
to themselves.
Upon these grounds your cordial
support for the business mems ticket 10
solicited, and 1t ia urged that you not
only cast your ballot in it's favor, bat
that yen also exert your in Auencs with
your friends to the same end.

PEOPLE ARE DRINKING
STAGNANT WATER NOW
Hamakua District That is Suffering
Most Hilo Has Not Seen
Such Dry Weather for
Many Months.

There has been such a drought on
the Island of Hawaii fer the past two
months or so that people living there
have become very much wrought up
over what 1t to be done along the line
of relief. In Hilo, known broadcast in
the Islands as the Rainy City, there
has been lack Of rain the like Of
which has not been experienced in
many years.
However. the complaints OF greatest
distress come from the District of Ha-
makua where people are forced to de-
pend entirely on the rains for their wa
ter. At several places during the last
fortnight, people have been forced to
procure their water from the bitches
where II has become stagnant through
long standing. The people are suffer-
ing terribly and the live stock is be-
ginning to die Off.
The situation is most alarming since
what is known In Hawaii mel as the dry
season is just coming on and the ex-
tent of the hardships from the lack Of
rain Is something that the people are
looking forward to with great fear. II
the present state Of affairs continues.
1t will be necessary for people living
ir such places as the Hamakua district
TO carry what water is absolutely ne
cessary to existence, from such districts
of Hawaii as Kona.
This Aiming lack Of water all over

at once.
There are always plenty Of clouds

rain has been lacking Tor such a long
time but they show great distaste for
the earth. Rain makers on the Main

where the people have suffered from
drought and they would be Just as
beneficial here. To send for a couple OF
these men would be money well spent.
1t would mean thousands Of dollars to
the men who trust to the soil for their
livelihood. One has only to look over
the records of the rainmakers on the
