CORNELIUS WILLINGHAM, Editor.
For the cause that lacks assistance ,
For the xcrong that needs resistance ,
For the future in the distance ,
And the good that ice can do.
Cartersville, G*„ Th*rs4ajr, Feb. 3d, 1881.
From Kentucky there comes the
news that Buford, who murdered
Judge Elliott some time ago, has
been found not guilty on account ol
iasanity—Talk about hanging a man
in Kentucky? Why you are “off.”
The state of the weather recently has pre
vented Colonel William Moore, of Augusta,
from receiving his usual supply of bouquets. —
Constitution.
** Four dollars to a cent he got in his
smiles all the same.
Howard Williams is still keeping
up his fusilade on the lion. Emory
Speer. He now accuses the Honora
ble Emory of stealing thunder from
the Hon. Henry Persons of the 4th
district.
The Are alarm at the Rome Hotel on Satur
day night was given by the baby of Mr. John
Hawkins which fact doubtless saved the build
ing and ever so many lives. — Exchange.
And which fact also goes to prove
that the baby is second only to its pa
when it comes to furnishing chin
music—Eh ! John ?
The daily publication of a list of
the absentees in congress is a right
move and something like it should
extend down into the state represen
tative bodies. It gives stay-at-home
people a splendid idea of what the
Hon. Patephar Peagreen is doing
while he is spending their money.
Tom Burney has quit the newspa
per business and taken the position
Of southern agent of the Cincinnati
Southern railroad. Mr. Burney has
the gentlemanly address, business
promptness and suavity of manners
that will place him at the head of
railroad agents, though this is anew
experience with him.
Uncle Remus caught the mumps
list week and the way Miss Sallie
tortured him is enough to make any
man’s jaws ache and his salivary
glands run a quart. Sunday’s Con
stitution told the story and we’ve had
the lockjaw ever since we read it.
There’s no doubt about the success ©f
UucJe Itemus after his last conversa
tion in the Constitution editorial
roc m?.
In a lete interview with a Philadel
phia Press reporter Ben Hill ups and
says that the solid south is ripe for
dissolution and for a dose of republi
canism. Many more such utterances
as these will make the people believe
that Ben is a Hill that water never
runs down. Nobody ever knows,
however, what our distinguished
senator is going to say until he has
Slid it.
#
Anent the Yazoo literature now
being written up for the Constitution
by Col. Sparks, it is justice to say
that the official record of the whole
business was published in the Car
tersville Free Press a year ago—gath
ered from the official’ records at
Washington. It was thought to be
at the time a campaign document
and did not receive the attention it
deserved. A re-publication is now
in order, while politics are at a rest.
We are just in receipt of the Daily
Phonograph— and a spicy daily it is.
Messrs. Christopher have launched
it out after the most careful survey of
the ground and will thoroughly put
to the test the national question as to
whether or not another daily journal
for Atlanta will pay. The price of
the daily is $6.00 —and anybody who
wishes to subscribe may remit that
amount to Messrs. Christopher, pub
lishers.
In our local columns will be found
a full account of the recent trouble at
Rockrnart, related by an eye-witness.
This is one of the most unfortunate
affairs that has ever happened in
North Georgia. Full-grown double
barrelled shot-guns weie the instru
struments. This affair will long be a
matter of regret to the good citizens
of Rockrnart, as it will give the
sprightly little town a back set from
which It will not soon recover.
Judge James R. Brown sets the
example right. He was returning to
Marietta from his home, where he
had been to spend Sunday, the train
of the Marietta and North Georgia
railroad ran off the track and he ar
rived thirty minutes late at the court
room, whereupon he ordered the
clerk to enter a fine of five dollars
against himself, after duly apologiz
ing for ti e accident which was not
his fault. One pf the lawyers pro
teste 1, but he paid the money, say
ing no cculd decide the matter
bit himself.
It is said that, one of the most
charming women to be met at Wash
ington is the wife of Senator Zeb.
Vance. She is a native of the blue
gra-s region of Kentucky which has
always borne an enviable reputation
for splendid horses and brilliant
women. Mrs. Vance nobly main'*
tains the reputation of the latter.
She is a Kentuckian by birth and a
very handsome woman with black
hair and sparkling black eyes—a de
cided brunette. Her manners are
graceful; she is a fine conversational
ist and a mo9t captivating hostess.
The question as to whether Geor
gia’s vote is to be counted will come
up and be settlad within the next ten
days. The republicans are solid in
their opinion that the Georgia vote
should not be counted. The demo
crats are split. Messrs. Stephens,
Felton and Speer will not vote to
count in Georgia. As Geosgia’s vote
does not amount to a row of pins the
three distinguished gentlemen are
doubtless glad of this opportunity to
place discredit upon the present
Georgia executive at whose door the
blunder is lain.
And now the Rome Daily Courier
is before us, and a comelier sheet does
not issue from the Georgia press. It
is clean, bold looking, and has enough
reading in it to spring its chases.
The heavy editorials of the paper
emanate from Judge Harris, who has
so ably directed the politics of the
Courier for the past three or four
years. Our young friend John Tow
ers leaps into editorial harness as the
local editor, and his work suggests
that he has struck his proper avoca
tion. The telegraph news is pub
lished, and no doubt Romo will hur
rah over its new daily.
We are not sorry that we have
yielded the greater portion of our
outside to the interesting remarks
made to “H. W. G.” by that old
connecting link, Col. W. H. Sparks.
The four columns read like a novel
and will no doubt be eagerly grasped
at by our readers whose persual will
be amply repaid. Col. Sparks i9 now
engaged in writing Sunday install
ments of the great Yazoo fraud for
he Atlanta Constitution, which should
be read by every person not familiar
with that great American swindle
perpetrated during the time when
politicians w T ere supposed to be
honest.
Judge Howell Edmunds Jackson,
the new senator from Tennessee, was
born April 8, 1832, at Paris, Tenn.
He is the son of a Virginia physician
and was educated for the practice of
law, graduating at the University of
Virginia. His practice of his pro
fession was at Memphis, and during
the war he w r as appointed to a civil
position in the confederate govern,
ment. He has served several terms
on the supreme bench of the state by
appointment. In 1876 Judge Jackson
removed to Jackson, and four years
liter was elected on the state credit
platform as the representative of
Madison county to the legislature,
from which he was elected to his
present office.
The wife of Bob Shivers, of the Warren ton
Clipper is the assistant editor of that paper.
Few Georgia editors can boast of having 6ucb
a better half. —Phonograph nnd other ex
changes.
This item has haunted our “State
news” eve long enough. There is a
little brown-eyed, enthusiastic, high
spirited lady, who, after she has
cooked breakfast, cleared the things
away, set the house to rights, at
tended the call of the bread wagon,
milked the cow', dons her hat and
cloak, comes into this office, yanks us
out of the editorial easy (?) chair,
pounces oti the exchanges, ampu
tates every item of interest, stacks
them on the copy hook, grabs up a
Faber, travels it over a quire of edi
tor’s manuscript paper, removes her
snowy white apron, shoves up her
sleeves, grab3 up a stick and rule and
sets it all into type, reads the proofs
and corrects every error. That’s our
wifo and she’ll get her reward in
heaven.
Mr, Randall, the talented Washing
ton correspondent of the Augusta
Chronicle , writes thus touchingly of
the faithful colored servant of Mr.
Stephens:
“The death of the faithful, the de
voted, the virtuous Harry Stevens
was a great shock to our distinguished
representative. Harry originally be
longed to the Googer family, and, in
1850, was purchased for SBOO by Mr.
Stephens. In 1843 Mr. Stephens had
bought a little colored girl named
Eliza,who afterwards became Harry’s
wife and the mother of a numerous
progeny. For more than thirty
years Harry has been to Mr. Stephens
a servant, a friend, and major domo.
No mother could have watched over
and nursed a child with mere tender
ness, constancy, and patience than
Harry did his old master and friend.
The results of the war made no dif
ference between the two, save in the
civic status of the colored man. He
had been allowed to do as he pleased
as a slave • he had not much more
liberty as a freedman. Nor did it
ever enter that noble mind, lor an in
stant, that there should be a sever
ance of the relation between him and
Mr. Stephens. While life lasted both ,
were faithful to each other and to i
themselves, and now that the black
man has gone before, the white man,
who never expected to survive his
his colored brother, mourns for him
as David did for Jonathan. There is
no sadder heart in the wide world to"
day than the illustrious Alexander
H. Stevens, who, under the vast
dome of the capitol, sorrow’s to think
that in a distant Georgia village his
faithful Harry lies cold and stark and
dead. Yet, if there be life eternal, as
I believe, for all mankind, what par
adise of the redeemed can be lost to
such a man as Harry ?
“ Mr. Stephens computes that Har
ry’s income for a number of years has
been at least $1,500, and that he has
left ap estate worth about $20,000,
gained by his honest thrift and in
dustty. He was universally respected
by all classes of people. His funeral,
we venture to say, will be attended
by the Crawfordville folks en masse.
“He is worthy of such a tribute, for
he embodied and illustrated virtues
that are not too common in any race.
Peace to his ashes and an abode of
light and bliss for his spirit! ’’
