GENERAL PRESENTMENTS.
Grand Jury, Bartow County Superior
Court, January Terra, 1881.
Third Week.
We, the Grand Jury, sworn and
empannelled for the third week of
of said Court, would beg leave to
make the following presentments:—
By our committees we have exam
ined the books of the Tax Collector
and Clerk of the Superior Court.
We find them in our opinion correct
ly and neatly kept.
We have also examined the books
of those Justices of the Peace which
were not inspected by the last Grand
Jury, which we also think correct.
We adopt the recommendation of
the last Grand Jury in reference to a
bridge over the Etowah river. We
recommend that the bridge across
Two Run Creek, near Kingston, be
repaired. We would call the County
Commissioners’ attention to the ne
cessity, in our opinion, of building a
bridge across Raccoon Creek, near the
ford, said location on the Alabama
road near Raccoon church.
We recommend that D. V. Stokely
be appointed to fill tne vacancy in
office Notary Public and ex officio
Justice of the Peace io the 819th
Dist. G. M.
We concur in the recommendation
of the first week’s Grand Jury in re
lation to the county taxes.
Unfortunately there exists in our
county an evil which has grown to
an alarming extent, which is the
tlealing of seed cotton and other agri
cultural products, not only from
places of storage, but from the open
fields. This matter has become so
serious that our county at large calls
tor protection; and our body, for
themselves and for the people
of the county, earnestly insist
that our representatives in the
legislature try to have passed at the
next session of the legislature a bill
to secure this end. We suggest that
such bill provide that it be a misde
meanor for auy person to purchase
seed cotton, lint cotton, or any other
agricultural products after sunset
from any person whomsoever. And
further, any person purchasing any
cotton or other agricultural products
in quantities or conditions not con
sidered to be in merchantable and
marketable shapes in the daytime
shall be required to keep a record of
the name of the person from whom
purchased with date of purchase,
and, on failure to do so, he or
she oe deemed guilty of a mis
demeanor ; such record to be kept
and subject to the inspection of any
citizen, and, on refusal to produce
such record for inspection when de
manded, this refusal to be deemed a
misdemeanor.
A law of this kind, we think, will,
in a great measure, enable our peo
ple to protect themselves, and we ap
point W. H. Gilbert, M. L. Pritchett
and James H. Gilreath a committee
to act with the county commission
ers in having such a bill drafted, the
proper notices published, and such
other steps to be taken as may be
necessary to secure the presenting of
the bill, and we entreat our repre
sentatives to secure the passage of
same.
We find the roads in wretched con
dition.
We agree with the first grand jury
in the necessity of having a water
closet in the court house. Carters
ville has been long agitating the sub
ject of water works, and this is a
small move in the right direction. It
will save the time of the court by
giving the jurymen no excuse to take
rujai walks when a case is pending,
and being located close to one of the
jury rooms, it will compel a jury to
c< me quickly to a verdict in sum
mer:
For you may break, you may ruin the va*e if
you will,
But the scent of the roses will hang round it
still.”
The constant agitation of the re
moval of the court house has pre
vented the commissioners from add
ing some necessary improvements to
the building.
We recommend that the court
house in its present position be con
sidered a fixture—a monument of the
short sighted policy of those who
allowed it to be placed where it is,
and we would request the county
commissioners to have built a fire
proof vault to preserve the public re
cords of the county and add other
necessary improvements. This mat
ter should not be delayed.
We congratulate our county in hav
ing such a worthy successor to the
late judge in the person of his honor,
J. C. Fain. We take this occasion
to tender him our best wishes and
sincere thanks for his able charge and
kind and courteous treatment of our
body during its session.
Solicitor-General J. W. Harris, jr.,
is one of our Bartow county boys, and
coming from the county he does, his
efficiency, kindness and courtesy is
what we expected of him.
The other officers of the court have
our sympathies*
We reeommend that these present
ments be published in our county
papers, provided they do so at half
rates.
Respectfully submitted, this the
28th of Jan. 1881.

Married.
At the residence of the bride’s fath
er, in Cartersville, by Rev. A. J.
Jarrell, on Tuesday evening last, Mr.
H. C. Crowley to Miss Demarius E.
Williams.
The marriage was quiet, only
members of the family were present
to witness the happy occasion. Mr.
Crowley is an unobstrusive quiet and
worthy young gentleman. During
his residence here he has mingled but
little with our young folks, but those
who do know him recognize in |him
a true man in every respect. The
bride has a large circle of friends and
acquaintances, and truly does she de
serve them. The only daughter of a
noble and devoted mother, she has
received the most careful training
and enters the married state fully
qualified to discharge every duty of a
true woman. We join, most heartily
other friends in wishing the couple
the happiest and most prosperous
future.
Sudden Death.
Capt. Robert A. Harkie, of Kings
ton, died very suddenly at the Bar
tow House on Wednesday night last.
He came into the room where a par
ty of his friends were enjoying a so
cial game of cards complaining of
being unwell and laid down on the
bed. In a few moments he asked for
some one to bathe his face with a
wet towel. was then seen to be
very ill and a messenger was started
for a physician but the unfQrtunate
man died in a very few minutes.
Capt. Harkie was a generous
whole souled gentleman, was once a
conductor on the Ceutral road of this
state and leaves a devoted wife. His
remains were interred in Atlanta.
Oyster Supper.
The ladies of the Episcopal church
will, on Friday night next, present
for the patronage of this community
an elegant oyster supper, at the St.
James hotel. The proceeds of the
entertainment are to go towards re
fitting the interior of their church

RIOT IN ROCKMART.
A Pitched Battle in which one man is
killed and Several Wounded.
Saturday night, after the recent
congressional election a young man
named William Simpson, came into
Rockmart, a small village, situated
in Polk county, on the line of the
Cherokee *ailroad. After imbibing
copiously of the town’s hurrah juice
he proceeded to cut a bachanalian
big six of sufficient dimensions *to at
tract the attention of the marshal of
the quiet little village. The marshal,
Alex Bullock, arrested him, when
L, B. York, a citizen of the place,
and uncle to the arrested man, drew
near and demanded his release. Upon
a refusal by Bullock, York sailed in
for a fight and cut the marshal six
times. Bullock made a return in the
fight and knocked York down.
Bystanding friends of York then be
gan mingling in the fight, the mar
shal was overpowered and the pris
oner was rescued. The marsha 1
made his escape from the mob, which
pursued him and occupied the re
mainder of the night in their search,
breaking in doors and vowing the
deadliest vengeance. Not being suc
cessful the mob dispersed and the
affair was thought to have died out,
York keeping out of town and avoid
ing arrest.
Thursday morning last York came
into town and spent several hours in
drinking, playing billiards, etc. The
marshal, who had aU
the morning in attentions to a sick
family, came down town about half
past nine o’clock, and learning that
York was in town, immediately
staated to arrest him, Before Bul
lock had neared him York, menacing
and defiant, fired off his pistol. Al
though unarmed, Bullock continued
to approach him. until he had gotten
within about thirty yards of him
when York presented his pistol and
warned him (Bullock) to go back,
sayings “I will blow' your d—d head
otf if dou don’t.” The marshal then
turned back, being, as we have pre
viously stated, unarmed. York, his
son and brother followed, the broth
er, however, making every effort to
quiet the disturbance. The marshal
retreated to where he had a shot gun,
procuring which, he turned upon his
pursuers, presented the gun at York
and detnabded a surrender. As the
demand was made the son, Hurd
York, fired two shots from his re
volver at the marshal, who imme
diately changed his aim to the son
and fired, the load of bird shot tak
ing effect in his face and arm, com
pleteiy blinding him and placing
him hors du combat. During the
time occupied to do this the elder
York fired upon the marshal three
times, neither of which shots did any
harm. The marshal quickly turned
loose, with hi * remaining charge, on
the old man aud put the load into
his hand, shattering the arm and
three fingers. Then Bullock closed
in and easily arrested the two Yorks,
disarmed them and carried them into
Ferguson’s store, where they gave
bond and were released.
The town th n resumed its quiet
and maintained it until nightfall.
Jim Dean, a brother-in-law of York,
had been in town during the morn
ing’s trouble, and at about three
o’clock had left for his home in York
town, a village ol Paulding county,
about six miles distant. He returned
at night and rallied about him a
company numbering about thirty
men. Dean, his son and Caleb Clark,
armed with double-barrelled shot
guns, commenced patrolling the
town, and gathering about Marshal
Bullock, began making insinuating
remarks about lhe bird-shot battle,
etc., and insultingly endeavoring to
get up a fuss with Bullock. The
mayor of the town issued a warrant
of arrest for intimidation and au
thorized the marshal to summon a
posse for assistance. This was done
and the marshal demanded a surren
der of the whole gang. Jim Dean
then stepped back and said: “I’ll be
d—d if I don’t die first,” and with
his remark fired a load of buckshot
at the marshal, four of them enter
ing his right .side immediately uu*
der the right arm. Then an indis
criminate firing commenced between
the posse and the mob. The marshal
tried to fire his gun but both barrels
refused to fire.
After the smoke of carnage had
passed away it was found that Jim
Dean had been shot in the head, the
load which mu9t have come from a
shot gun, blowing part of it entirely
off.
Joseph Dean, a son of James Dean,
was shot in the back and"neck. His
\tound is considered mortal.
A man named Elep Parks was also
shot in the back.
These wounded were of the forces
of the rioters. Aside from the ugly
wound received by the marshal none
of the posse were hurt, though the
marshal’s half-brother was shot in
the clothing and a young man named
Prince caught one bird-shot in the
upper lip.
The dead man was taken into
Whitehead’s store and laid out and
the wounded were cared for.
Alex Bullock, the marsha), is now
in Cartersville at the home of his rel
ative, Mr. Kit Conyers, recuperating
from his wound and keeping out of
the reach of the mob. He says he
will return as soon as he is well and
resume the duties of his office.
This is a truthful history of the
unfortunate affair at Rockmart,
learned from an eye witness.
