Jh ANNIN SUPERIOR
.COURT.
Last week Fannin county held
its regular semi annual adjudi
cation of differences between her
citizens and the Slate, and each
other. Judge J. C. Welborn pre
sided for Judge Brown who held
the court of Union county for
the former gentleman. Judge
Welborn is a clever gentleman,
and much beliked by the bar
that practiced under him. Sol.
Gen. Gober, as usual was hard
after law-breakers, and it is a
compliment to his ability that on
)y one criminal case come clear
out of the entire week’s work.
It is a remarkable fact connected
with the work of the court that
every case tried exceDt one re
sulted in conviction for crime or
for the plaintiff in all civil cases
Fannin seems to be moving up
on her disapproval of crime.
The most important cate was
the one of Web Findley charged
with an assault with intent to
murder. He was found guilty
of shooting at another, and fined
S4O aud cost. His counsel moved
for anew trial. The most nota
ble speech of the week was that
of Col. Bill Glenn who defended
Mr. Findley. The effort was his
best at this court, and was com
plimented by all who heard it.
It was eloquent, forcible and
convincing.
A considerable amount of bus
iness was transacted, and court
mdjourhed Friday evening.
Sheriff Willson, although anew
officer, attended promptly to his
duties.
Olerk D. W. Garrett, with the
assistance of his predecessor Mr.
L. G. Oulcher, kept the proceed
ings et .court well up with the
progress of the work.
The grand jury sifted several
eases, and found 25 true bills.
It is a noticeable fact worthy
of mention that at the recent
terms of Pickens, Gilmer and
Fannin superior courts an unus
ual number of convictions were
had in criminal eases. There
can be no other explanation of
the matter than that the people
of this section are seeing the ne
cessity of stopping crime, and
tbe only effective way to accom
plish such is by vindicating the
law when guilty parties are ar
raigned for offenses before the
courts. We are glad to see this
march of law and order, which
means leßs crime, more happi
ness and lighter taxation.
STILL WAGING.
The recent revival meetings of
Sam Jones and Small in Rome,
Ga., has stirred up the prohibition
sentiment in Floyd county, and
many think it will carry in that
county at the approaching elec
tion. All the churches, the Young
Men’s Christian Association, and
every other Christian organization
of tHe city of Rome are taking an
active hand in the light for prohi
bition, which promises a very
warm contest. Walton county
also votes on prohibition in this
month, and the prohibitionists say
they will carry the county, the
negro vote being the only de
ment they fear at. the ballot box.
The truth is the principle of pro
hibition is bound to take this
s'ate, and, sooner or later, these
United States.
Texas is in the midst of a heated
eampaign, Alabama will vole on
a constitutional amendment also,
as will Tennessee during this year.
Tbase three will be the scene of
excitement all summer until the
great issue is decided by the bal
lot. Several or nearly all the
northern states are more or less
prohibition in sentiment, and the
fact that the great state of Mich
igan came within 6,000 on a popu
lar vote of carrying a constitu
tional amendment, demonstrates
the fact the right will eventually
oversweep this country. The
theme gains strength every day,
while whiskey loses its adherants
daily. The principle of sobriety
and humanity couched in this
word, prohibition, is marching to
certain triumph, and the day is
coming when this immediate sec
tion will turn its back on its rec
ord of to-day and join the swell
ing column of prohibition com
munities. We look for gladsome
results from these counties, and
eonfldantly expect the better im
pulses of their manhood will tri
umph at the coming elections.
IHS WESTERN TRIP.
hIITKA Col'RlKß:
At 1 have been west and re- •
cently returned to my old home
1 feel it my duty to give to my I
friends throughout this section j
through the columns of your val
uable paper a syopsis of my trip I
After traveling through Arkan- j
•as by rail to Vanburen, 1 then |
took private conveyance forSal
lasaw, Cherokee Nation, the dri
ver taking the wrong route car
ried me 40 miles west of the place
I intended to go, which proved
yery pleasant indeed, for I got to
see some of the finest country on
the face of the globe surely. Bo
on we went as happy as a pair of
prairie wolves, occasionally en
quiring the way aud always get
ting correct information from the
natives. One route leading
through beautiful and fertile
prairies and also some of the fin
esl timbered lands lha< my eyes
ever beheld; those prairies were
dotted over with fine herds ol
cattle, sheep and swine, and ihe
grass was fully knee high, looking
at a distance more like a wheal
field than the wild woods. We
finally came to a beautiful resi
dence, (he landlord a full blood,
and by Ihe way a physician, intel
ligent,clever and courteous,whose
name was Dr. E l ward Fleet wood,
mv stay with him was made per
fectly homelike by his kindness
for which I shall never forget.
On leaving here night overtook
us at the gate of a full blood by
the name of Fields, we called in
our native tongue and he answer
ed in the same language telling
us we couli stay, and were kindly
treated, our bedding and board
being excellent. The next day
carried us through Sallasaw val
ley, the soil rich, very heavily
timbered, and there I saw grape
vines 12 inches in diameter, the
section is thinly settled on ac
count, I suppose, of some malaria
in this rich ball, and is not very
healthy. We arrived at Sallasaw
court house in Flint district, and
there 1 met several old Georgia
friends and relatives, and then
followed a regular handshaking.
We traveled six miles further to
the residence of Judge Benjamin
Baden,a half breed, judge of the
district court. His lady is a full
blood Cherokee, wild I will remark
that I never met a man who treat
ed me with any more kindness
and hospitality. He possesses h
liberal share of education and ap
pears to be very popular as as of
ficial aud has the character of
dealing out strict justice to all
alike and very gentlemanly. The
circuit court came on while 1 was
there and being invited to attend
I did so more from curiosity than
any thing else. Expecting to Bee
something, 1 did not know what,
but to my astonishment I saw a
court conducted wilii as much
dignity ns you will find in the
States. It was presided over by
Judge C. L Lynch, I met him and
the bar. The juries are similarly
arranged to ours, except that they
aie composed of only five men
instead of twelve. His charge to
the jury was very strict, and was
as strict jn meeting out justice to
all as was Napoleon in instruct
ing the picket guards of his army.
Solicitor Ellis Starr with an inter
proter aided the grand jury. Some
of the petit jury were white men,
and only those having business
attended court. In all cases the
questions are asked in English
and written down by the clerk,
and if answered in English are
reported to the jury in the Cher
okee, and vice versa. The attor
neys were Capts, John Welch,
Littlejohn nnd, and K. W. Walker
a native of Cherokee county, N. C.
Any person wishing to smoke had
a perfect right to do so, the judge
joining in, although belter order
was never maintained. The sher
iff, Charles Smith, is a full blood,
the deputy sheriff, Richard Taylor
a quarteroon.
I wish to stale here for the in
formation of the people of the
States that instead of the Indians
being savage, ignorant,selfish and
unchristian, they are kind, hu
mane and quite intelligent, many
being well educated. They have
a good system of public schools,
running nine months in the year,
with a fine corps of teachers ol
both sexes, a fine college at Tal
laquah, the capitol of the nation.
Before closing I wish to speak
of the kindness shown me by Mr.
King Seabolt, a well to do farmer,
on my way back to the States, and
all during my trip, I received
marked kinduess and hospitality,
taken all in all, the beautiful
country, tha thrift, energy and
kindness of (tie people, I have
determined lo cast lot* wit It them
for the future.

HE COME TO TIM h.
Seme time since we gave a Mr.
A. W. Davis of A lanla, a hay and
lumber man, a complimentary!?)
notice about an advertisement in
this paper. Mr. Davis come to
time this week or, the fee lor the
ad., and so far as we are concern
ed he stands square with us, for
which he will accept, the thanks
of t his office.
A marked change of sentiment
on the prohibition question is very
percepible in this county since
the election last August. People
are becoming convinced almost
every day of the fact that the
ways ol whiskey will sooner or
later down a man. He may pros
per for a season, or a community
may bear witli it for a lime, but
there is an inherent principle in
it that will rob a man of his wealth
after a while, and will throttle
him eventually, if persisted in.
How many instances have we of
such ? It is a dangerous thing to
tamper with, its wily ways wiil
secretly encompass a man, and
before he is conscious of it his
fortune, his name, his all, is lost
in the crash. People are gradu
ally becoming convinced of its
evils and they are quietly but
surely deserting its walk?.
Prohibition will lake this coun
try, and those now living will
witness it.
