THE NEW YEAR'S OUTLOOK
We wish we eould hope for a year
of prosperity to all classes of the peo
ple of this whole laud. We wish we
could know that this bright new
3'ear’s morn were indicative of a
brighter prosperity and a happier
year for the toiling masses every
where. Providence lias smiled be
nignly upon our fields of grain and
cotton the past year. The laliorer
lias toiled and struggled and hoped ;
but the year ends to him in gloom
because his labor is not requited in
consequence of the stringency of tiie
times. He sees that he is the victim
of a financial system on the part of
the general government that sends
each year his brightest adrift,
dissipated into the “baseless fabric
of a dream.” Ho finds himself at
the beginning of each new year no
belter off than ho was twelvemonths
before, with a leaden sky of gloom
overshadowing the hopes of the fu
ture.
Aivb then, how many thousands
of ivnest, skilled and unskilled, me
ihoiies are sent abroad upon the
aramp” seeking employment and
finding none because every branch of
industry and enterprise is pa mb. ;;od
and destroyed—the whir ot machin
ery hushed, ominous silence preys
ing and agonizing despair ber’.iud
on every face? And, then > i, M)| the
thousands of women and children
pinched with hunger au* shivering
with the vigors of winter, having
little or no hope for better condi
tion —all because th'jy have been en
slaved by a financial system institu
ted and enforced in the interest of
the bondholders and the lordly auto
crats of the national banking system.
The new year may dawn never so
brightly and heaven may send the
showers to fructify tho eartli ever so
graciously throughout the seasons,
but these avail but little of prosperity
to the masses as the great blessing'
(Jod has poured upon this goodly
land of freedom are turned only to
the advantage of tlie favored few who
roll in luxury, and pay no tribute to
the government, while the toil and
sweat of the laboring masses consti
tute the blood of the Republic.
Yet, amid the sorrow and despair
of a long suffering and struggling
people Congress hesitates and dailies
and fails to act for the welfare of the
Sfclliil&'fcounlry, while the autocratic
bondholders stand with millions cf
money to defeat the ends of justice I
if necessary to use it for that object.
If forced resumption is permitted
next year, and the fiat goes out to
that effect, the clouds of despair will
hang ever the whole land with still
blacker hues and become still more
appalling to the hopes of the masses.
This is a gloomy picture, we know,
but it is certainly not overdrawn.
Would that it were. Year after year
wo have seen these clouds thickening
and spreading over the sky of hope—
the hearts of millions of honest toilers
sinking as they see themselves be
coming more and more the abject
slaves of the bondholding aristocracy.
Is there any hope for the people
from Congress ? Will the money
power prevail over the destiny of
this country and reduce the toiling
millions to abject and hopeless sla
very ? Will the Federal capital be
come the seat of a great moneyed
despotism to grind industrial energy
and subvert all enterprise to the base
purposes of the Shylocks who seek to
secure the pound of flesh exacted by
the perfidious Jew ? Will Congress
have the manhood to intervene its
power to prevent the enslavement of
the masses and shield honest labor
from the fierce exactions of the inor
dinate greed of the monsters who
would despoil a nation for the base
purposes of increasing their fabulous
wealth ? Is it possible no higher pa
triotism exists in Federal legislation
than to consummate these despotic
ends?
But, there are noble hearts in Con
giess? There are a few who have
raised their voices like men and pa
triots in behalf of the people, and
'there are millions of anxious and
sorrowful hearts pleading in their
poverty, that the voices of these
brave men may be heard and that
the power of right over wrong may
yet prevail, and this great country
saved from desolation and ruin, and
the people from poverty and starva
tion. Will not tho pleadings of
hunger avail in tho impending crisis
of the repeal of the resumption act?
Will not the appeals of paralyzed
industry and idle men for work have
their proper influence over tho hearts
of Senators and Representatives who
have it in their power to avert the
further distress of this country ?
May God, in His infinate wisdom,
so turn the hearts of Senators and
Representatives that they will yet
act in the interest of suffering hu
manity !
We notice the Chattanooga dailies
have struck against the Associated
Press’ exhorbitant charges for dis
patches and have discontinued iak
ing them. If all the daily papers in
the country would do likewise they
could break down the most disgust
ing monopoly that exists. The news
is what the people demand, but
they would be willing to forego the
daily dispatches a little while to see
a diabolical and merciless monopoly
broken down. Why don’t our met
ropolitan brethren make the effort?
PRETTY VERSES.
Il is not often that we indulge even
in reading the inspirations of the
poetasters usually found iu newspa
pers- and it is more seldom we pub
lish such matter in our columns. We
occasionally publish such contribu
tions when presented, and then often
more out of courtesy than otherwise.
But when we find such verses as the
following, so appropriate to the sea
son, we aro inclined to extend their
publicity. Mr. Harris is an editorial
writer on the Alianta Comfit ulion t
and ii the author of most if not all
the pungent paragraphs that appear
in that paper. These verses appear
ed in the Constitution on New Year’s
moroing, and were doubtless written
the midnight preceding:
THE OLD AND THU NEW.
I.
Clasp the hand of those who are going;,
Kiss the lips that are laised to ho hissed,
For the life ol the Old Year is flowing
And melting away in the mist.
IT.
Greet the New Year with music awl laughter,
Let tiic Old pass away with a tear,
Kor we shall remember hereafter
The many who die with the jear:
111.
A ml t lie song* of the children of Sorrow
Shall unite with tie echoes of mirth,
Ere the sweet, glad sun of to morrow
Smiles dowa on the night-smitten earth.
iv.
And the meek, stricken daughters of Angu isb
Shall Hit their sharp burthens of pain,
Atul loug, a thev linger and languish,
For CUrLt’* blessed presence again.
V.
For Time hath struck down the heart’s i Jols—
The fairest, the dearest have died,
And Death hath gone grimly to bridass.
And claimed tlie first kiss of the bride.
VI.
But the glory of noon and the gray -light
Are gathered and mingled in olio.
And the darkness of dawn and the daylight
Precede the approach ot the sun.
VII.
A y.oor mother-bird is often lifted
From the ttoriu-shaken bongu where she
clung.
And cruelly driven and drifted
Far away from her nest full of young.
vm.
But the wild storm that liVtfl'ets and hurries
This lone bird about ir. the west
Lifts up on its bosom and carries
Another bird sale to her nest.
TX.
Ab! the span of the heavens is spacious—
I",ear sight is vouchsafed to tne blind:
The bitterest griefs are made gracious,
The cruriesi fate rendered kind.
x.
Clasp the hands of those who are going,
Ki-s th lips that are raised to be kissed,
For the life of the Old Year is flowing
And melting away in the mist.
C. 11 A KRIS.
There is great delicateness of ex
pression in the above lines withont
the passionate fire of the more ardent
muses. Asa paragrapliist, Harris is j
pungent and sometimes cruelly sar
eastic, as many of the victims of his
pen too well know; but there is no
venom, though there may be. some
times a little spile in the temper of
his paragraphs. But Harris centres
the smoother expressions *of his pen
in poesy, and sings in strains of gen
tle harmony and excellent rhythm.
If lie were a musician, the guitar
would bo his instrument and “Annie
Laurie” the theme of his song, if lie
eould attune his voice to those gentle
and pathetic strains. But we don’t
think Harris can imlosure bars of
music so well as he can feet in poetry.
How poesy over inspired such a man
wo do not and will not undertako to
solve.
But, tadmago aside, we have read
the foregoing verses with pleasure.
If we were a critique on suen matters
we could -better .express our feelings
in regard to their merit. There is
sijioothnds aud rythm in them and
the gentlest sentiment pervades the
whole, which we find

THE CARTKRSVILLE EXPRESS.
This paper enters with this issue
upon its nineteenth volume. We
believe it is tho second oldest paper
in Cherokee Georgia. It has occupi
ed a prominent position in tho jour
nalism of tho State. In better times
it was a flourishing paper, and gave
profit to Its owners. But in these
imes, when it requires a great strug- j
gle to kej> best circumstanced ‘
papers afloat throughout theconutry, j
Thu Express has been barely able :
to exist, and with the utmost
difficulty it has existed. Hard times
affect journalism more severely than
almost any other business. The cur
tailment of advertising patronage
only increases the expenses of publi
cation. The expenses of all other
business may be curtailed as the
patronage grows less. Paper bills
are the same whether there is an ad
vertisement in the paper or not;the
space in its columns must be tilled
every week whether there are adver
tisements to till it or not.
Wo have endeavored to give our
readersagood weekly journal. How
far we leave succeeded we leave the
public to judge. But how many
hours of painful anxiety and solici
tude and unrequited labor we have
spent tojdo so none can know but those
who faithfully attempt the task.
How many discouragements and dis
appointments have stood in our
path, but few know. Indeed, they
have been sufficient to quail the
hearts of tho stoutest. But hope has
been the inspiration and disappoint
ments and discouragements the chief
results of our labors.
There is no reason, why Carters
ville and the surrounding country
should not sustain such a paper as
The Express well. This is one of
the best sections of the country ever
given to man. It needs only to be
known to secure the development of
its boundless natural resources, To
effect this end our whole heart has
been enlisted. If properly conduct
ed and sustained, The Express
could be made a powerful agent in
the work of developing this great
country. We are glad to know that
it has created large enquiry in dis
tant parts of the country as to the
resources of this county within the
past throo months. A few more
such papers as wo published on the
11th of October would bring thou
sands of dollars of capital to our
county in a few years.
But The Express has greatly
lacked material support. It has been
crippled in its usefulness in conse
quence. With a literal and prompt
patronage its agency in the building
up of our town and county could
scarcely be measured; without it, its
usefulness and strength is greatly
diniinished and weakened. If the
people desire a good loeal journal
they must makeup their minds to
support itsomethingof liberality,and
not subject it to an uncertain and pre
carious existence.
THE EDITOR S HOLIDAY DINNERS.
The senior, not being able lo have
a good dinner at home because de
linquent subscribers fail to pay up,
accepted an invitation to dinner on
Christmas day with Mr. and Mrs*
Ronald Johnston, of the Cartersville
High School. It is enough to say
that we spent the time most agreea
bly because our host and hostess
know exactly how to make guests
comfortable and at home under their
hospitable roof. May they long live
to prosper and be happy.
Our New Year’s dinner was taken
with Mr. and Mrs. It. L. Sellers, in
company with Gen. Young. It was
an oid fashioned Georgia dinuer, pre
pared iti elegant stylo by our kind
hostess, who understands the culina
ry art to the greatest perfection. Our
friend Sellers possesses in his “better
half” a companion worthy of the
highest praise. She is, indeed, a true
wife in all tnat the term means.
\Ye don’t kuo.v that we ought to
speak of these things in the paper,
and wo are afraid our kind friends
may not forgive us for so doing. But
you sco there is in the depths of an
editor’s heart a gratitude that com
mon mortal don’t possess. The poor
devil, always impecunious, feels like
praising somebody whenever he is
invited to a square meal.
The only pang wo felt was the
thought of those at home who had to
take the usual frugal meats while we
were faring so sumptuously. But it
is all because delinquent subscribers
fail to pay up that those depending
on us have to indulge in common
fare for their Chrrstmas and New
Year’s dinuors. And such is an edi
tor’s life.
TO DELINQUENT SUBSCRIBERS.
We have made every kind of ap*-
peal to those subscribers who are in
debted for The Express to pay up.
Avery, very few have responded —
so few as to amount to but very, very
little cash. It seems to us that al
most any person who can pay at all
can pay once a year and in advance
for their local paper. The amount
each one owes is small, it is, true ;
but when all are aggregated it be
come a big consideration to a pub
lisher. The loss of it is ruin to him ;
neglect to pay is not only embarrass
ing but the cause of great harass
ment to the editor.
Now, we must collect all indebted
ness to this office of any kind. We
must have money. We have notifi
ed every subscribe two months ago
as to tho time he or site is indebted.
All know what they owo and we ask
all to send in or bring in the money
at once and without delay, or else
we shall be compelled to place all
bills in the hands of a collecting
attorney, how-ever much wo may
dislike to do so. Necessity is our
master in this ease.
Now, will not every one indebted
to us for subscription, advertising or
otherwise, at once respond to this
earnest, this honest appeal.
HON. W. 11. FELTON.
Dr. Felton and family have spent
the holidays most agreeably among
their neighbors and friends, who aro
always glad to greet them. The
Doctor was the more cordially greet
ed on account of the bold stand he
took on the bill to repeal the resump
tion act in Congress. The people
feel that he is a champion in their
fight against the bondholding aris
tocracy and the money changers who
are the favored few of the govern
ment. Nine-tenths of tho people of
Georgia are with Dr. Felton on that
line.
As something has been said in re
ference to the future political aspira
tions of Dr. Felton, it is proper to
state that he desires no position that
is not conferred by the people of this
Congressional district. He has re
ceived letters from many who have
heretofore opposed him for Congress
urging him to continue iu Congress.
This is complimentary to him and is
evidence of the public confidence felt
in his acts.
The Savannah News , one of the
best journals in the South, appeared
on Tuesday morning in a new' dress.
We congratulate the proprietor and
editors of that paper upon its hand
some appearance. Mr. Estiil is one
of tho most successful newspaper
men in the country, and old Maj.
Thompson (long may be bloom) is
one of our most solid editorial wri
ters. Altogether, the News is a pa
per every Georgian may feel proud
of. We wish all hands success.
Candidates are already out for
Clerk of the House of Representa
tives. Wo would remind all con
cerned and “the rest of mankind,”
that Mark A. Harden will be on
hand about that time to contest for
the honor if he will listen to the ad
vice of friends. What he will do in
the premises, we cannot now say.
But, be assured that Cherokee Geor
gia will go solidly for him, and a
number of representatives below the
liuc will do the same.
We notice that our old friend, Mr.
W. A. Ilarp, who tor a number of
years published tho Covington Ex
aminer, has purchased tho Rockdale
Register, and will cliange its name to
the Congers Examiner. Brot her Harp
is a good editor and we wish him
much success in his new field.
