BcMlMlIwa Pmenird bf Ctoavml M«r- Knn of Dougherty. The following is the text of the reso« lutions presented and put on file in the Supreme Court by Gen. H. Morgan in memory of the lamented Louis Arn- heim: In north Prussian Germany, on the shores of the Baltic, in the Duchy of Mecklinburg and town of Warin, amid the remains of rank pride, distinctions, social supremacy and class superiority, engendered by former feudal institu tions in these times of their greatness and grandeur, Louis Arnheim was born on the 22nd of March, 1852. The off spring of an ostracised, despised race, every chance of social equality or rank or elevation was extremely distant. The future prospects of men of his class for any distinction was apparently a rayless blank, devoid of hope. The proud de scendants of the old Teutonic knights ipimortalized in the Crusades—the fa mous ancestors of the German, Dutch and An^lo-Saxon races^—the renowned cCnquerers of Prussia, Livonia and Pomerania, ate an imperious people and little disposed to recognize as equals those whom they have been taught to regard as inferiors. Hence to all men of any mental pride, in the class to which Arnheim belonged, the future appeared not only gloomy but discouraging. The strong incentive which stimulates to ex ertion, the inspiration of hopes which lends ambition its stimulous to excel in contests for etniuence, were all wanting. In addition to these obstacles to ad vancement, he was well aware that in cdmrnon with all other German young men, as soon as he reached maturity, under the existing law, if he remained in his native land, he would be compell ed to undergo a military servitude of seven years—seven long, tiresome years in the morning of life to be thrown away and wasted was a fearful prospect, when without any means he had to make his way in the world by his own unaided exertions. During his apprenticeship in receiving a practical education for a mercantile life, mingling as he did in the routine business of his daily occupation, among the different classes eagerly seeking to embark for this western hemisphere, he became enthused with the spirit of the •emigrants and inflamed with a desire to try his luck in the land of Washington, where all hereditary aristocracy was un known—the land of hope and prosperi ty where each race stood on the same broad platform of equality, and merit was the only stepping stone to wealth, honor and distinction. Fascinated with warm youthful dreams of imagined re alization of his cheerful expectations from fanciful representations of this far famed El Dorado of the western world, he availed himself of the first opportuni ty to cross the Atlantic. Arriving in New York some time in 1868, without delay he hastened to find his uncle, a wealthy farmer living near Lincoln in the State of Illinois. There for a short time, he assisted in farm work, but the monotony and physical drudgery was so foreign to his inclina tions and former employments that he soon sought and found a more congenial occupation in Milwaukee. After a short stay in that city he came south, to Sa vannah, and thence to Brunswick, where he got employment on the Bruns wick and Albany railroad, then in pro cess of construction under H. I. Kimball. When that road suspended work lie drifted to Albany with a few hundred dollars of Kimball bills in liis pocket. Without money or friends he com menced in Albany by securing a clerk ship 011 a small salary and worked up until lie’could command as much, if not more, for his services than any other clerk in the city. Dissatisfied with the daily routine duties of a merchant’s clerk, and the lack of intellectual stimu lus consequent upon such occupation, lie applied himself to the study of law. When he was admitted to practice in 1878, Judge Wright, the presiding judge, said his examination was the best he had ever heard, and commended him for his proficiency. He commenced after his ad mission'with a small practice in the lower courts, and being the only Hebrew lawyer in that portion of the State, soon got all the legal business of that class of merchants and of all his own race. By close attention, dilligence, promptness and assiduous application, his practice soon expanded and became lucrative. Ambitious to succeed in his chosen pro fession, he left no stone unturned, but devoted his time alternately to study and the preparation of his cases, vigi lantly persevered in hunting up all the necessary evidence and authorities until he was fully armed for each Court House contest. His previous education and habits ac quired in mercantile life enabled him to classify, systemize and arrange his facts and law so as always to be ready to present the points in his cases with good order, precision and clearness. What most young members have to learn by long practice, to him therefore came as if by intuition. He had by association and dose study mastered the English language and spoke it with little if any foreign accent He had a strong, musi cal baritone voice, cultivated by study and modulated by a natural talent for music. This enabled him always to at- tract tlie attention of jurors, and gave what he said, great effect Familiar, pleasant aud social in deportment* greet ing all with warm, genial smiles which usually played upon his face, he was ever a welcome companion at all times and in all places with almost everybody. Hence he was In the true sense of the word, unusually popular with all classes of men in every sta tion of life. He was sympathetic and generous, frank, intelligent and honest Possessing these high and popular quali fications, he succeeded in his profession and was elected to a seat in the House of Representatives in the Legislature of 1886 without opposition, and re-elected in 1888. In hi9 first term ot 1886 he was not only a useful, popular and influential but a leading member of the House. In the session of 1888 his health made him unable to take an active part, and during the session he died. lie caino in manhood's morn, Knthused witli freedom's name. Where all are equal born And merit lends to fume; In mental gifts tho peer Of any in the land, For in Ilia short career, None did ubove him stuiid Unaided and alone. He fought life's battles well, Aniid its strifes he shone And brightened till he fell. Afar mini native shore, Across Atlantic’s wave, Ho sank forevermore, And sleeps ill yonder grave. We gaze upon his toinli With heartfelt grief sincere, And mourn his early doom With an unbidden tear; We hoar his widow’s moan, 11 is orphan's infant cry, Hut trust ho readied tho throne Of Judah's God on high. Therefore, resolved, that we will cher ish in lasting remembrance his many shining virtues, his genial disposition, warm heart, generous impulses and high character as a man and a lawyer. Resolved, that in the death of Louis Arnheim the State has lost a good, worthy citizen, and the bar a meritorious member. 1 Resolved, that a copy of these resolu tions be sent by the clerk of this court to the family of the deceased. THE STATE HERE AND THERE. HERE IT IS! HOW DOUGHERTY’S NEW COURTHOUSE WOULD LOOK. A HANDSOME STRUCTURE AND A FINE PIECE OF ARCHITECTURE—SHOULD HAVE IT BY ALL MEANS. DOUQHEHTY COUNTY-8 NEW COURT HOUSE. Hon. J. 0. C. Blaok and Gen. John B. Gordon will be at Ltnoolnton on Saturday, the 16th Inst., to speak on the political issues of the day. Hon. C. L. Moses will perhaps be there also. #*. The State Normal School at Athens opened its doors yesterday. .** The expenditures of the city of Sa. vannah preparatory to scouring deep water for that port have amounted up to date to $6,000. The visit of the leg islature to that olty took the biggest single lump, the cost to the oity being about $1,600. #% An old Confederate battle flag, form erly carried by the Forty-thirfl Geor gia, was found in Atlanta a day ortwo ago, among tho unclaimed express packages. It was opened up to be sold for charges, but when the local ex. press manager found out what It was, he kindly donated it to the Veterans’ Association of Fulton County. The Republicans of the First district have united with the Third Party This is enough to disgust the average Third Partyite with his following. Atlanta has changed her base-ball team enough times to have employed every league player in the country. The people of the State hope they have got something at last which will win a game now and then. •** The latest movement among the Ne groes of the State is that of organizing a Democratic club, under the name of the Northern club. The move origi nated in Atlanta and will probably be followed up by similar organizations throughout the State. This is a move ment in the right direction, and it is certain to be productive of good re sults to the class with whom It has originated. **« The average yield per acre pf the wheat crop in Georgia is nine bushels and of oats thirteen bushels. WOMAN IN PROVKBHS. Here Is how It would look when com pleted. Tlte Hkiui.ii has obtained, for the benefit of its readers,a out of the front ot the new Court House, acoordipg to Mr. Norman’s plans. The building is, ns will be seen, somewhat antique in style, with old style tower In the foreground, spacious balconies and large windows opening towards the south, the direction from which come the Gulf breezes. As a piece of architecture, nothing more elaborate could be desired. It would fulfill a long felt want of more room and better aooomtnodatlons for the carrying on of Dougherty’s court business. So here are combined pio- turosquo beauty and the beauty of utility, whioh should make the build ing doubly essential to the enterpris ing people of the county. In regard to the obange of such a structure as the present one for that proposed, it cannot be understood how there can be any hesitanoy on the part of our enterprising oltizens. The building proposed is one of which any county in the State might be proud— the one we have is one of which any county, especially Dougherty, ought to be ashamed. Counties around us have oourt houses costing far more than the one now proposed, yet we can safely say that none of them have a more tasty or convenient struoture than this proposes to be. Well, the work will probably be postponed for some time, perhaps some years, the plans will be stored away In the oounty’s arohlves, disoussion will oefcse; and all on aooount of what?— Well, the story has been told too often In these oolumns. Here’s hoping that our oltizens will soon relent, and work heart and soul for an enterprise whioh should long ago have been on foot In Dougherty oounty. unanimously voted to call a primary, In accordance with the recommenda tion of the Dlstrlot Executive Com mittee, oh tho 80th of July. And yet the orowd that refused to vote for Editor Allen’s Democratic resolutions, and that found Itself in control of the meeting, proceeded to appoint delegates to represent the oounty in the Congressional conven tion. And now it is proposed, as we un derstand It, to hold another meeting of some sort for the purpose of “legaliz ing” the delegation already appointed, irregularly, to the Congressional con vention. What’s the matter with Col. Bill Harris and Ills Executive Commltteo anyhow? At the meeting of the Dlstrlot Exec utive Committee the Colonel was per haps the most bold and uncompromis ing member of the committee, when it came to using the party yard-stlok. He announced tlint lie would go back home and “purge” his committee of all reoaloltrants, and of any who might be in collusion with the Third Party. But, Instead of purging Ills commit tee, the latter, with the assistance of the orowd that met at Isabella, seem to have purged the Colonel and to have taken his Democratic yiird-stiok, held so horizontally by him at tho dlstrlot committee meeting, away from him. The situation over in Worth seems to be anything but encouraging from stralghtout Democratic point of view, and those who were with Col. Harris in the meeting of the District Executive Committee in this olty and heard him talk there have been listen ing and looking In vain for “somethin’ to drap” over in his dominion. Has the glory of King William departed? A primary for the eleotiou of dele gates to the Congressional convention has already been ordered for tho 80th of-July. Now let tho loyal Democrats of Worth oounty ant accordingly, and send a delegation to the Congressional convention, nnd all will be well. Til SB NBBDM OF TUB HOUR. ABUSE OF TUB PRESS. in Women’s jars makes men’s wars. Women and glass are always danger. Women are wise on a sudden and fools on reflection. Women laugh when they can and weep when they please. A foolish woman is known by her finery. A melon and a woman are hard to choose. A bag of fleas is easier to watch than one woman. A young wife is an old man’s post horse to the grave. A widow is as dangerous as a horse that has cast his rider. A gossiping woman talks about everybody and everybody talks about her. .

One hair of a maiden’s bead pulls harder than ten yoke of oxen. Ill these days and times of petty pre judices and small opinions of still smaller men, public organs are too often used for malevolent private pur poses. The politician will make his paper the organ of self-praise, and one of abuse and libel ngalnst his political enemies. The editor who has a grudge to pay wants no better means than the column of his daily which goes into thousands of homes, wherever a mild Insinuation may cast a slur over the fairest and noblest of characters. The reporter who fails to get a much de sired interview, hesitates not to reach beyond the realm of facts, and quote what never has been said. The sensa tionalist, in his eager desire to pander to a depraved public taste for scandal, foolishly searches in the depths of a diseased imagination for scenes which, although they bear the stamp of false hood, are, nevertheless, eagerly de voured by the horde of scandal and sen sation-mongers. While a multitude of the readers of tho day may countenance such abuse, the true journalists of the day, and there are journalists among the read ers of great newspapers as well as among the writers, set their stamp of disapproval upon the men who seek to vent their spleen through the medium of the press, or who desert the realm of facts to cater to such depraved pop ular tastes. It is just such writers who are to a great extent responsible for such a condition of public tastes and desire, for they have added fuel to the flame of the rapidly increasing conflagra tion. We are glad to note, however, among the higher classes that the purity of the press is becoming more and more a necessity day by day, and we ihall rejoice to see the time when these moulders of publlo opinion shall pre sent only facts, embellished only by that literary art which their talent may afford, and express only such hon est opinions ss may be in their judg ment for the enlightment of their read ers.

The “Iron-ribbed Demooraoy” of the Second dlstrlot now have Candidate Stevens on the run. He is working hard and will die hard, but his taotios are. fast finding him out, and those who have been counted as his secret political friends are beginning to give him away. Here ip a letter which found Its way to the Herald office to-day. We omit the name of the gentleman to whom it was addressed; but it is genuine, and we have the original in our possession It will be seen that Candidate Stev ens has oomo to realize that the Alii ance political machine, which brought him out, is losing oast, and lie there fore makes no allusion to himself as the candidate of tlint secret organiza tion, but reminds his would-be con stituent that he Is “a candidate of farmers,” “representing their Inter ests especially.” But here Is his letter: Office of O. B. Stevens, Dawson, Ga., July 11,1892. Dear Sir—You are no doubt aware that I am a candidate from tills, the Second district. A convention of far. mere assembled at Cuthbert, Ga., Feb. runry 25th, unanimously requested me to make the race as representing their interest especially. I agreed to do so, and my name was submitted to the people, subject to the Democratic nom. ination, and I am making the race ac cordingly with very bright success. It requires eighteen votes td nominate In the convention, nnd I already have sixteen. If it is agreeable with your feelings, I would be glad to have your support. Anything you will do in my interest will be duly appreciated. The 30th of July is the day appointed for the primary in most of the counties, Yours truly, O. B. Stevens, THE SITUATION IN MOUTH. Word comes from Worth county that there is some prospeot of another meeting being held in that county for the purpose of “legalizing” tbe action of the meeting held some time ago, at which delegates were irregularly ap. pointed to the Congressional district Democratic convention. It will be remembered by those who read the report of the proceedings of the Worth county convention that the meeting refused to vote for resold, tions introduced by Editor Allen re. affirming allegiance to the Democratic platform, and pledging support to the nominees of the Chioago convention, No previous notice had been given that delegates to the Congressional convention would be appointed at this meeting. Upon the. contrary, If the Herald has been correctly informed, tbe County Democratic Committee had All D«l«|>in That the country Is passing through one of the most eventful periods of its history every thinking American will allow. We have just passed through the rigors of a Bepubllonn administration with all the dangers ot a barbarous co ercion, in the shape of a force bill, staring the Southern people in the face. MoKinleylsm has for years oppressed the poorer olasses, and increased the riobesot the millionaires st their ex pense. The outoome of this burdensome tariff system has been numerous strikes and labor riots, and the crowning hor ror of all has been the Homestead riot, and the inhuman attack of Pinkerton’s men. The Third Party is running ram. pant through the oountry with their Innumerable imaginary woes, and gold-plated promises of Impossibili ties. This movement threatens the oountry with still-further division and it is reported that they are draw ing numerous Republicans of the South into their ranks. The unsolved raoe problem presents itself every day in the form of fro qnent Negro riots throughout the Southern cities. The farmers are suffering, as indeed are many merchants, from n depressed condition of the money markets, and the silver bill for the relief of the flnunclal condition of the nation, Is' now tied up in Congress with very lit, tie chance of being made a law. The reokless extravagances of a He. publican administration, and a cor. rupt pension system, have thrown the nation into debt from whioh it will take some time to extricate It, All these momentous questions and numerous others of less importance hampered ns they are by a corrupted and immoral oivil service, and a Be. publican government whioh knows no law or propriety hut that of the lob byist and the briber, can never come anywhere near a proper settlement, Now is the time for the country to decide, nnd to decide quick. What it needs is a statesman at its helm, a statesman who can steer it safely through these rocky seas which now surround it on every side, and threaten the grand old ship of State with Im mineut destruction. Grover Cleveland is the man upon whom should.bo conferred this mo. mentous trust. The honest and loyal nominee ot an honorable and upright party; the man whom a typical He. publican leader has dubbed as tbe typ. ioal American; the man who knows more about the nation’s affairs than any other inhabitant; the man who is backed by the experience, the wisdom and the loyalty whioh the hour de. inands,—he is the man above all others who should and will control the nation’s affairs. Democrats, Southerners, all, behold what oonfronts you, and do your duty in sustaining that Demooraoy whioh is tbe country’s only hope of salvation. Evxby one is. unanimous in tbe de 7 sire that Mr. Wm. 0. Whitney accept the ehairmansbip of the National Dem ocratic Committee. Mr. Whitney is too good a Demoorat not to heed the call of the ei Prenenl Kuepl •m IVorlh. From Tuesday’! Kvr.NlNO 1IMALD.
