LOVING TRIBUTE TO
CAPT. JAKE MOORE.

Mr.. j. w. Fuller, of Smyrna,
called at the office to renew his
subscription and when asked about
the progress of his little city, stated
that the entire community had been
thrown into deep gloom by the
recent death of Captain Jake C.
Moore probably their most promi-
nent citizen, and for two years
mayor of Smyrna.
Among other things Mr.. Fuller
said:
In the twelve years of my
residence in Smyrna | consider the
passing of Captain Moore the great
est calamity we have had. 1t was
my pleasure to know him personally
for six or seven years and during
the last three or four years | had
been very intimately associated with
him in various ways. This gave me
an insight into his nature. He was
pre-eminently prince of good
fellows when it came to doing good
and helping humanity. This seemed
to be his chief source of pleasure.
He did more for the town of
Smyrna and community in the brief
time that he lived in it than any
half dozen men have ever done. He
was the undeniable friend widows
and orphans, the church, the school,
charitable institutions and all man
kind.
am glad that | have not waited
until after his death to say this
about him. | have not only stated
this about him during his life time,
but also stated it to him. He filled
mission that few people are capable
of filling.
In the death of Captain Moore
have lost one of the best friends
ever had and the town, community
and county a great loss. We shall
all miss him and miss him sorely. F."

Five Large Porkers Victims of the
Knife-Largest Weighing $40
Pounds and Smallest 400.

Last Thursday was hog-killing
day at Governor Browns home on
Whitlock Avenue and five fine pork
ers were victims of the knife. They
were Duroc Jerseys and had been
fattened on citron melons, sorghum
cane and corn. Of the five the
heaviest weighed $40 pounds and
the smallest 400 pounds. Mrs.
Brown, as usual, superintended the
making of sausage, lard and pressed
souse of the feet and heads.
Neighbors and friends of Gov.
and Mrs. Brown are always re-
membered with spare-ribs, back
bone and other dainties, so many
people have cause to rejoice over
hog-killing time" at Gov. Browns
He is to be congratulated also on
his success in raising these magnii-
cent hogs that form such an i'm
portant contribution to good living

great many of Mr.. Moore's old
cities came to pay their last tribute
of love over his casket. He had been
sheriff of Floyd county for twenty
years, and the Rome Tribune Herald
said of him in the course of a long
editorial:
above everything else, amid all
the storms of politics and struggles
for supremacy, Jake Moore was al
ways big hearted, generous to a
fault and true to his friends. Even
his opponents admired his poise and
unfailing good humor, when the
clouds of defeat lowered around him.
In many respects he was a remark
able man. Known to all classes and
conditions of society, there are many
today in Floyd county who mourn
the death of a true and generous
friend, one who could always be
counted on for help when the hour
of adversely came. He was not only
a unique character but a strong,
courageous man, and, amid the va
ried fortunes of career that was
always picturesque, sometimes spec
tacular, he never failed to exhibit
those dominating qualities of cour-
age and persistency that were his
chief characteristics.
The town of Smyrna and Cobb
county will miss happy-hearted, whole
souled Jake Moore, who was the ami
mating spirit Of all-day singings
and other social gatherings. To his
sorrowing family we extend our
deepest sympathy.
A number OF Mr.. Moore's friends
ON Rome, including several ladies',
sang his favorite songs from the
Sacred Harp. Among these was Prof.
b. + White, of Atlanta, the venerable
song writer The songs came between
the tributes to Mr.. Moore, and includ-
ed "Home, Sweet Home, 1.-THE Prom
ised Land, !" THE Lone Pilgrim" and
I'm Going Home to Die No More. F."

annually in the court house here.

CANDIDATES ARE
/ COY This YEAR

Although the time for fling nomina
tions for the primary to be held on
September will expire in one week,
candatses for office seem rather coy.
Thus far not more than a half dozen
have been fled with Clerk Davey.
The only real "easy money! in
Humboldt county seems to be the office
of constable of Lovelock, for which
there are at present six aspirants 1t
is understood that several more are
considering the propriety of stepping
out" for the job.
In county circles there is very little
doing. The only candidates thus far
to "throw their hat into the ring are
two for attorney, and one each for
commissioner, clerk and surveyor. 1t
is intimated that some of the old Off
cials, who have held down their posi-
tions for many years, may conclude to
skip one election and hold over.
1t is probable, however, that many
candidates are waiting to see what the
other fellows are going to do before
making their announcement. In case
they should fail to get in for the pri-
mary would make little difference, for
it requires but comparatively small
number of signatures to get their name
on the ballot as an independent can
date.
Although nothing has been heard
from Commissioner Stoker, it is stated
that he will probably again make the
race for county commissioner from the
south end of the county. Commission
er Stoker has made good official, and
it will be hard matter for the Demo
Gratis to pick out man to beat him.
Socialists Will File petitions.
1t is understood that the Socialists
will have full legislative ticket in the
field, in addition to candidates for sew
eral of the county Offices. They pre-
fer, however, to wait until after the
primary and nominate by petition.
Although an article has been going
the rounds of the state press, which
was copied by the Silver State, to the
effect that candidates filing nomina-
tion papers by petition are required to
pay the same fees as those filing for
primary, this is disputed by the So
cialists, who claim that no fee is re-
quired. If this is the case, it will ac-
count in a measure for the lack of can
didates to announce themselves for
the primary, for by securing the rev
names necessary to file by petition
they will be able to save fee rang
ing from $1,000 to $500.

WILL G. HIGGINS HAS
CROUCH AGAINST EXPERTS

1t is not known what the mininr ex-
perts have done to Will G. Higgins,
but in his column in the Salt Lake
Mining Review he touches them up in
the following entertaining fashion;
"Some experts are born, some are
made and some are turned out = col
leges and universities, continued the
prospector. "But it is only the ones
who are born that are any good. The
rest of them become famous for the
many good mines thy turn down. 1t
was the made order expert that turn
ed down Tombstone in the earlv days,
IL was the same order of duckling that
passed up the Silver King mine in
Arizona, and the United Verde in the
same state. The same nifty fellows
condemned Cripple Creek, Tonopah and
Goldfeld; and, even now, they are
swarming over the country spelling big
mining deals and losing big money for
their clients; and it is wonder, judg-
ing from the black eyes so many min
ing districts are getting from them
every year, that the industry keeps up
its lick so well and that so many new
mines are developed into big producers
and dividend-payers. OF course, this

| is to the man of means who really
wants to buy promising property;
but, any man with nails in his shoes
and grease smear across his face can
readily solve the riddle. Ask him and
he will tell You that it is the man who
works in the mine, who broke the first
ore from the outcrop, and who knows
the formation like book, that is the
real expert. And he will tell you also
that it was an intelligent miner, and
not an expert, who induced Senator
Clark to buy the United Verde; that
it was the success of leasers which pre-
vailed upon Philadelphia capital to in
vest in Tonopah, and that it was Q
grizzly prospeetor who first commended
}oldfeld prospects to eastern capital
! sts and that All of these mines have
made good Notwithstanding the fact
that buyers were duly warned by ex
pert friends and employers that they
were being handed gold bricks

LA TOILETTE WOOL
BILL PASSES SENATE

Ten insurgent Republicans overthrow
the regular Republicans in the session
of the senate late Thursday and joined
with the Democrats in passing the
LaFollette wooden tariff revision bill
as a substitute for the Democratic
measure framed by the house of rep
resntatives. The LaFollette bill was
adopted by vote of AZ to 20 less than
two hours after the Republican leaders
had achieved what they believed was
a victory, when a compromise substi-
tute submitted by Senator Penrose was
passed in committee of the whole.
Insurgents who joined with the
Democrats in adopting the LaFollette
substitute were Borah, Bristow, Clapp,
Crawford, Cummins, Gronna, Kenyon,
LaF'ollette, Poindexter and Works.
1t is thought there will be little
difficulty in reaching compromise in
this case. A bill almost Identical with
the one President Taft vetoed on
August H. 1911, probably will go to
the White house within few weeks.
The former bill was vetoed on the
grounds that the tariff board had not
reported on its investigation of sched-
ule x. Both houses say the LaFollette
bill follows the conclusions of the
board quite closely.
The essential points of the LaFol-
lete bill and the house bill are:
Raw wool--LaFollette bill, 10 to 35
per cent; house BILL 90 per cent.
Wool waste and rags-LaFollette
bill, 25 to 30 per cent; house bill, 90
per cent.
Combed wool or tops-LaFollette
bill As per cent; house bill, 80 per cent.
Yarns-LaFollette bill, 45 per cent;
house bill, 30 per cent.
Clothes, ready made fine clothing,
knit fabrics, women's dress goods,
etc.-LaFollette bill, so per cent;
house bill, 35 to so per cent.
Carpets-LaFollette bill, 35 per
cent; house bill, 25 to so per cent.
These are the more striking compari-
sons. When the house and senate con-
ferees reached compromise a year
ago the raw wool duty was comprom-
ised at 20 per cent, wool waste at 20
per cent, combed wool at 32 per cent,
yarn at 35 per cent and ready made
clothing at 40 per cent.

DEAFNESS CANNOT BE CURED

by local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure deaf
ness, and that is by constitutional
remedies. Deafness Is caused by an
inflamed condition of the mucous lin
ing of the Eustachian Tube. When
this tube is inflamed you have a rum
bling sound or imperfect hearing, and
when it is entirely closed, Deafness is
the result, and unless the inflamma-
tion can be taken out and this tube
restored to its normal condition, hear
ing will be destroyed forever; nine
cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh,
which is nothing but an inflamed con
dition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars
for any case of Deafness (caused by
catarrh) that connot be cured by
Halls Catarrh Cure. Send for circu-
lars, free.
