Felton Knowingly and Advisedly Votes With the Monopolists, And Sends the Free Salt Bill to the Graveyard of all Bills Which Looke to Lessening the Bur dens of the Pepple. Rom<s Conrivr. The repeated assertion of Dr. Fel ton’s organ, the Cartersvilie Free Press, that Felton voted for free salt at the last session of Congress, re quires us again to refer to the sub ject, and show the truth of the mat ter. Felton’s attempted deception on.the stump on this subject and the perversion of facts by his organ both show how severely the truth hurts bun before the people. We ask close attention to the two following ex tracts from the Free Press of last Thursday, as we propose to show clearly that it was the deliberate pur pose of the writer of the article to de ceive the people, and make them be lieve something ihat is not the truth. Th e Free Press says; “In the congressional record dated April 6th, 1880, Mr. Townsend, of ID inois. introduced a bill to repeal the duties on “salt, printing type and pa per, etc.” Mr. Townsend called for the yeas and nays. The yeas aud Bays were ordered. There were, yeas 112, nays 80—not voting 100 Cook, Blount, Felton, Persons, Nidi oils and Smith voted yea. •Ham mond, Speer and Stephens did not vote. Judge Wright read it all aloud at Summerville the day Dr. Felton spoke there.” “We hope our readers will see the vote for themselves—for it is there— oeyond the doubt of a mistake, aud Harris will certainly acknowledge it later.” The bill referred Join the foregoing extracts was not introduced on April 6th, 1880, as the writer of the extracts tries to make the readers of the Free Press believe, but was introduced in March, and the vote of the 6th of April was on a motion to suspend w™ U S ftfeier "b’y the votes of such friends of the monop olists as Felton, Chittenden, Conger, Kelly, Garfield and that crew, on the 25th of March. The congressional record of March 26th, giving the proceedings of the 25th, shows that nearly the w hole of the day was spent in a parliamentary war over the question of taking from the committees on revision of laws Mr. Townsend’s bill to admit salt and some other articles free of duty. During the excited debate between the Iriends of monopolies and the friends of the people, Mr.Townshend made a telling speech, and had read irom the clerk’s desk, for the infor mation of the house, a telegram sent from Washington the 22d of March, telling of the rejoiceing of the friends of tariff reform over the success of Mr. Townshend’s scheme, as there was no doubt the committee on re vision of laws would report the bill to the house. Mr. Townshend had read also an extract from an editorial of the New York World upon the same subject, the last sentence of which is as fol lows : “Mr. Garfield and his coadjutors have nobody but themselves to blame if the monopolists whom they represent have been caught napping by a resolute reformer, and their at tempt to prevent the opening of the question of tariff reform by falsifying the record of the house is more ob jectionable, not only that of anythiug of which they pretend to accuse Mr. Townshend, but than anything done even by Mr. Garfield heretofore in the house.” Let the people of the seventh dis trict remember that Fetion was one of Garfield’s coadjutors in this cou test between the friends of monopo lies and the friends of the people. We give two extracts Irom the speech of Mr. Townshend, which go to prove that Felton had full knowl edge of the effect of his vote to send the bill to the committee on ways and means, and that he did it advis edly and for the purpose of burying it in the graveyard spoken of hy Mr. Townshend. Mr. Townshend said : “I knew as well as I know that I am standing here that if I agut that bill to the committee on ways and means it would oe buried forever. I knew as well as I know anything that if 1 brought in that bill and sent it to the committee on ways and means I would send it to a grave yard in which has been buried every bill in this congress seekiag reform in the tariff/’ “Jills of this character have been befere that committee for months, and no action ha3 been reached upon then, and we have been informed that the committee not long ago de cided not to change the tariff laws. I i-sy that the conduct of the commit tee justified me in fearing that if my bill were sent Jo the committee on ways and means it would be buried forever.” The resolution was divided, and the house voted first on that portion taking the bill from the committee on revision of laws, which passed, ayes 143, nays 100, not voting 49. On this vote, Felton voted with his coadjutors, Chittenden, Conger, Garfield, Kelly, and other monopo* listsof like character. On the other side, aud standing side by .side with Towa hend and all other friends of the people, we find every other member from Georgir, including Mr. Stephens, whose vote is recorded on page 66 of the congressional rec ord of March 26th, against that part of the resolution, and against Felton, Chittenden, Conger, Garfield, Kelly and their coadjutors. On the second part of the resolu tion, to refer the bill to the commit* tee on ways and means, that is, to bury it forever from sight, Felton voted aye again with Chittenden, Conger, Kelly, Garfield and such friends of monopolies. Felton having thus been insfru* mental in taking from the commit* tee on revision of laws Mr. Town* Bhend’s bill to admit salt and other articles free of duty, and in sending it to its death in the pigeon-holes of the committee on ways and means is fairly, justly and truthfully ebarg able with aiding the friends.of mo nopolies and opposing the interests of the people. And we believe his course was so diametrically opposed to the wishes of tne people he mis* represented by his votes, that they Will send him to his political grave at the coming election. The action of the house on the 6t.h of AnrLL ■ -**>-*• *■**> bill in the ha mis el the committee on ways and means, and required a two-thirds vote to pass it. The bill was introduced on the 22d of March, and not in April, as false ly stated by the Free Press ; and Dr. Felton voted on the 25tu of March to take it from the committee on revi sion of laws anti send it to its death, in his own committee, which had by the aid of Felton’s own vote resolv ed to do nothing in the way of tariff v reform. Thi3 is Felton’s record on the free salt question, and it shows him to have been hand-in-glove with Chit tenden, Conger, Garfield, Kelly and the vile crew of monopolists. It is well for the Free Press to say that it hopes its “readers will see the vote for themselves,” for the Free Press is never going to publish it for them to see it. We have pub lished ir, and the vote proves that we are right and the Free Press wrong— that we give the facts as they are, and that the Free Press per verts them. COUNTY MATTERS. We copy from the Free Press of last week the following reply of John H. Wikle to “Scrutator” in that paper of tne 14. h, instant : To The Free Prese: In your last issue “Scrutator,” under the head of “Information wanted,” asks: Information Wanted. —Will the county commissioners, or some one else, please inform the citizens of Bartow, by what authority they have levied one hundred per cent, on the state tax ior county purposes? Also explain the clause in “tax assessment’’ no ice: “past due and to become due, which occurred since the first day of June, 1805.” (Scrutator. lam glad to have the Questions pro pounded and of the opportunity thus af forded to say something on these sub jects. To the first interrogatory, I an swer : the commissioners of Bartow coun ty derived the authority to levy one hundred per cent, on the state tax ior county purposes. From the constitution of the State of Georgia, 1877, (second paragraph of 6th section of the 7th arti cle,) the Code of Georgia, 1873, sections 511 to 515. The decision of the Supreme court of Georgia. The decision ot the same court, Spann, et al. vs the board of commissioners of roads and revenues of Webster county, rendered March 10, 1880, and published in pamphlet of decis ions of February term, page 23, and the statutes referred to in these decisions. I would gladly incorporate all these here, but they would take up more space than ! you would care to devote to this matter. I This tax as assessed, giving the" churrty ‘ $3.50 on the SIOOO, is not a large nor an j unreasonable assessment, in fact a much lighter tax than our people have paid in 15 years, excepting 1879. The taxable property of Bartow county as returned to the receiver for ISBO, is $3,251,223. At the rate levied this will nett into the treasury a little over SIO,OOO, which ad ded to the fund wp now have will leave us on fhe Ist January, 1881, with near $12,000,00, perhaps more. This appeal’s a large suni, but we must remember Bar tow is a large and populous county and burdened with heavy dockets in our courts. Xow, let us sec where this money must go. It will require near $5,000 to pay jurors fees alone for 1881. This ad ded to $3,500 jury certificates now out standing, takes $8,500, of this sum. Oth er necessary Suprior court expensed, non resident witnesses, bailiff’s and sheriff’s fees, fuel,.etc., not less than SI,OOO. Cost 1 of keeping prisoners and jail expends $1;000; paupers $800; care of lutnßi<> transportation etc., $250; repairs lie buildings, roads, bridges etc., cost of commisstopers court, s34ojpWffi ing a total of $13,890, that it will take at a very reasonable estimate to pay the ex penses of Bartow county from Ist of Jan uary to Ist January 1882, saying nothing of coroner’s fees, election expen ses etc. So it will be seen that we wil be extremely fortunate if we make “both ends meet” and find ourselves out ot debt next fall. | I desire to call the attention of “Scrii \ tator,” as well as all our other good citi zens, to the fact that our Superior court and the jail expenses (which are as ncc . essary as the courts,) will absorb two thirds or more of the whole tax paid inn the county treasury. We, with all on people, would he glad if some tfiean could he devised tohastcu trials, to preven crime and enable us to reduce this bur den of taxation for that purpose. As it is the burden is on us and we must hear i until reiiePcan h© had. It is notin th power of your commissioners to do it. 1 think our whole people will admi that we have been as economical in ev ery department over which we had con trol as was possible. If not, they would I am sure, be glad to know wherein the; have failed. A little enquiry will .sho it is no pleasure to officials to burdei the people with high or unnecessary tax ation. The pleasure would he in light- ening them. Business is reviving, and altogethei this has been a fair year on all class es; it was the desire of the commission ers to lay as light a tax as was consisten with the true interests of the citizens oi the county 5 and we believed that coun ties, like individuals, do best when the} “pay as they go,” and it is unfortunate and humiliating to see your county scrij and jury certificates hawked about the streets, and discounted heavily by thos who are .fortunate enough to have read} cash. It is an injustice to jurors, an* when we go into the market to huy lum her or anything for county use, or le contracts for public works, the first que. 1 - | tion is: Can you pay cash ? If not, w* I must pay an increased price, and my ob | servation is, a considerably increase I price is asked. I can’t believe the goo* people of Bartow, one of the foremos counties of the empire state of the south i desires to behold any such state of affair- again. And just here, it is proper t< state*why we fell short last year—’ti this. During the January term, 1879, o the Superior court, when estimates wet laid before the Grand Jury of the fir week upon which to base a tax levy, " nor the Jury knew what per cent, tlx state would levy that year, and as man.', of that Jury will remember, I wrote tlx Comptroller-general for his opinion. 11 answered he could give none as the? would not levy until after July, wlx i the tax receivers made their returns, so they were in the dark as to that The state tax had been tor many yeat - ; before five-tenths of one per cent. i . . . i,i i, Assuming that the state tax would 1 but little, if any less, they recommends 77> per cent, on the state tax. When tli state assessment was made it was only mills. So instead of getting tor coun ty ~P u rp (,ses 37M cents per SIOO we got on ly 27>0, reducing the amount expected very considerably. l have been asked why we levied one hundred percent, when we were satis fied with the 90 per cent, recommended by the Grand Jury of the first week J an uary term, ISSO, which was afterwards annulled by a subsequent jury. To this I reply, that since January, and at last July term the Grand Jury, fixed the pay of jurors from $1,50 to $2,00 per day for 1881, an increase of nearly forty percent, of Jury expenses.- This we added the additional 10 percent, to partly provide for, this increase of Jurors pay will add near $1,500 to expenses. It is said that some of the Christian brethren enjoy singing “In glad salva tions free,” above all others in the hymn book, and the comity commissioners would be happy if they conld join in a much-to-be-wished-for song, if it could be true that “county afiairs could be run S. A. CUNNINGHAM. free,’ and would gladly welcome the day when roads would work themselves; bridges and cross-ways, spring up and span our streams, rough places, sponta neously without cost or labor, when no paupers are among us, when crime shall cease to exist, and disputes cease^among us; when all men*hall“(io u*to others as they would have others do • unto them;” .and as we ate taught to pray, ‘‘Thy wiff done on earth as ft is done in leaven.” Bid t)iese things are not to be just now. .‘Therefore, let us do the best we can, bury the hitter sectional deeliug and prejudice that sometimes warp our better judgment, and rngke the most of the work before us. tho second interrogatory, I answer: m regard to the clause, past doe and to become due, which accrued—lt should be—since Ist of June, 1805, that there •ife certain bonds, about which some of >ur people have some knowledge, issued hiring the war, and which the comrnis doners since the creation of that court, atid the ordinary before them, have been bitterly fighting for some 13 or 14 years, and that clause is to provide for any debt lue or to become due other than .those created prior to June Ist, 1865. This '■apguage has been used just as it is i* 4he present assessment, in every one made dnee the war, which “f*brutatdr has ob serve,*, if he scrutinized them. Fortu mtely, we o’we not one ccat outside of of the jury scrip issuer! this year, heretofore referred to, and that will all be paid by the 25th of December. I have tried to make all the estimates ind figures herein fairly and correctly, unj have answered the inquiry at some ength and would be glad to add more if 1 could do so without trespassing too nuch'on your valuable space. lam al* v-tfys Willing and glad to give the citizens >f the county all information I can con erning their affairs. It is their right to enow, and the board of commissioners .re ready and willing to render an am ount of their stewardship. In conclusion I will state that as my bird term will soon expire. In retiring t lesire to return thanks to my fellow-citi lens for thrice honoring me with the re* •ponsible position I have held, and wish hftm all i* uate the cost of our superior court, for lext year, he may safely calculate, 12 veeks of court, 5 jury days to the week, .ye generally have at least 44 regular jurors, at $2 per day—sßß 00^ Sheriff and deputy, fees prescribed Uy law, $2 each —$4 00.
