The Carroll County Times. CARROLLTON, GA. March 8,1872 EDWIN R SHARPE, Editor. <Sg-LI. ir'i *. ■■ , Our Trip to West Point. Having business at the abbve place, we paid it a hasty visit lsst week, making the trip through the country on horseback, in two days. As we left Carrollton, the first of the week, our trip going was a very very' pleas ant one indeed. The return, however, on Friday and Saturday was very dis agreeable, owing to the rain, cold weather and bad condition of the roads. In going down, we stopped over at Franklin Monday night, and enjoy’ed the hospitality of Brother Barroft of the News. Barron is undoubtedly one of the best “ country’ editors” in the State, and though he don’t look like it, is full of humour. He is mak ing the News a lively and spicy sheet, and we are glad to know that it is ap preciated by the Heard county peo ple. The immitable J. Day Barron, brother to the editor, better known by' his nom de plume “ Sandy Higgins,” contributes regularly to the News, and his humorous sketches so full of gen uine Country human nature, are al ways read with avidity by the fun-lov ing public. We consider some of “Sandy's sketches as not second to those of Jonce Hoopers, the great humourest of his native State, Ala bama, and can not but regret that he has not devoted his life to the profes sion of humorous literature, for which undoubtedly he has shown great ge nius. We learn that Mr. Barron is now living in the “ back woods” of Cleburn county' Alabama, where he owns some fine mills, but i3 anxious again to return to the profession of journalism, having been connected be fore the war with the press of Ala bama M est Point we found as lively as ever. In fact her merchants claim that they have done a larger trade this winter, than any season since the war. There is no getting round it, that this place is one of the most thriving, and prosperous little com mercial cities in the South. It re ceives annually a large quantity of cotton, for which, always the highest prices are paid. Being backed by a line country, and a thorough go-ahead* and enterprising set'of merchants, not withstanding the desperate efforts that are being made, by rival towns and enterprises to break down her com mercial prestige, we predict that she will always hold her own, and by her Superiority as a market and shipping point, being at the termini of two im portant lines of railway, be able to bid defiance to the efforts that are being made to break down her trade. W e met many friendsand acquain tances in YY est Point, whose familiar faces reminded us forcibly of “Aidd Lang Syne,” for here it was our ear liest days were spent, and “as far back as memory runneth” many pleasant scenes and incidents are intimately as sociated with the past history of this stirring little city. West Point News, As stated in our weekly Press cob umn, Mr. R. D. Harrell has become connected editorially with the YY r est Point News. We know Mr. Harrell well, and look upon him as a young man of more than ordinary ability and promise. If He will but devote his talents sedulously to the editorial management ot the News, with Boully who is a number one printer to take charge of the mechanical de partment, we do not see why the News should not take rank among the first "weeklies of the State. Adkins has been appointed by President Grant. Collector atSavan nah, in place of Robb resigned. The State Teacher’s Associa tion will convene in Augusta, during the first week in May. L. A. Godey, publisher of Godey’s Ladies Magazine is on a vis it to Savannah with his wife. £&* The Industrial Association of Savannah, after repeated efforts to raise funds to pay its indebtedness, has concluded to go into bankruptcy. Col. Avery, Editor of the At lanta Constitution, is on a trip to Flor ida. His last letter to his paper was written from the St. Johns river. tS&T A freight train on the Georgia Railroad, ran oft’ the track two miles below Rutledge, on last Saturday night. Seven or eight cars were smashed up. SaT* Mayor Scriven of Savannah has resigned. A special committee from the city council has been appointed to confer with him, and if possible in duce him to reconsider his action. «. These “ country editors,” are never satisfied, except when they are trying to “ chaw ” each other, as wit ness the weekly effusions of the La Grange Reporter, Heard County News? 'West Point News and a few others. Georgia Press Association. We do not believe that tire objects for which the Georgia Press Assoc-ia tion was formed, have been attained, nor evc-r will be, until the Association gets the co-opperation of the entire press of the State. Those, therefore, who have heretofore, failed to attend the meetings of the Association, have no right to complain of its failing to accomplish anything, sine'e they them selves, have been by their non-atten dance, the principal cause of this fail ure. The object of the Association is not only laudable, but beneficialtothe profession, and it seems would receive the hearty co-operation as a matter of self-interest, of the entire press of the State. We hope therefore that the proposed meeting in May will be more largely attended than any herto fore, and that such prestige will be given to the Association by a lull at tendance, as will make it a pov er. vhi h no member of the l ress can afford to be indifferent to. Mailing Newspapers. —An order has gone out for a strict enforcement of the new regulations on newspapers sent by mail ; and as our readers may not all be posted with reference to what they are, we condense them as follows: Name of sender cannot be written on paper as was the old cus tom. No memorandum or intelligible inscription must be made inside the wrapper. No printed card, handbill or advertisement must be enclosed. No written notice, letter or written Blip of any kind can be folded in ; printed slips soliciting notices of the press pasted inside newspapers or periodi cals, or on the outside of the wrapers, are in violation ; also cross marks to indicate that subscriptions have expir ed. All other regulations areas form erly. A violation of any of these points subjects the matter to letter postage, and the perpetrator to fine. Inport ant to Justices of the Peace. —The following act of the General Assembly, approved Dec., 12th, 1871, will be found of impor tance to the various justices of the Peace throughout the country. See. 1. Provides that Justices of the Peace and Notaries Public, who are ex-officio Justices of the Peace, shall keep separate dockets of all causes civil and criminal disposed of by them, thte actual disposition of each and the amounts of costs collected and from whom. Sec. 2, Provides, that these officers shall lay their doektts before the Grand Juries of their respective conn ties, the first day of each session for their inspection. Sec. 3. Provides, that a failure to do so, shall be deemed a crime, for which these officers shall be indicted, and the trial of their cases shall have precedence over all other cases civil or criminal, and if convicted shall be punished by a fine not to exceed one thousand dollars, six months in jail or both in the discretion of the Court, or to work in the chain gang twelve months as the Court may determine. These officers might do well to bear this law in mind, as it is but little trouble to keep these dockets, and a failure to comply with its provisions might put them to considerable annoy ance and cost Robbery with the Aid of Chloro form. Dr. Stephen R >gers, of New York, in a report on “Can Chloroform be. used to Facilitate Robbery f” records some facts which prove it to be of no use to robbers. Ist. As to its use to promote the greater security from the disturbance of the sleeper, even were that practicable, the very time that would be consumed in the gradual and cautious administration of the vapor —the only possible theoret ical manner accomplishing it—would so increase the danger ot detection that few thieves would think of em ploying it. 2d. During the course of the administration of the chloroform, whatever manner may be adopted, the patient or subject, as a rule, be comes excited, often very violent and turbulent, with an inepressible pro pensity to sing or shout, which is ot ten so loud as to alarm the inmates of the whole house. He is in a state of wild chloroformic intoxication. The exceptions to this rule are so few that no prudent thief would think ot run ning the *risk of meeting one ot those exceptions. 3d. Supposing the two proceeding obstacles overcome, and the victim thoroughly quieted in to a narcotic sleep, a third and very frequent complication arises; he begins to vomit, and, while he does not gen erally make much noise about it, still, he may; and he always requires attention lest fatal strangulation oc cur. The knowledge, among the criminal classes, that the abandonment of their victem, with a towel still over bio face, to the liabilities of vomiting and strangulation, would often add the ci ime of murder to that of robbery, would have great effect in detering them from the futber employment ot it. Land in Crrroll county is said to be rapidly advancing in price as a consehuence ot the rail-road in process of construction through that section.- JVcicnan Defender. Georgia weekly Press. The Superior Court of Clayton conn ty convened on hast Monday at Jones boro. * The Clayton Banner reports pat- j ridges selling in Jonesboro at eight and ten cents apiece. Prof. Garst proposes to continence the publication of a Phrenological Journal nt Jonesboro at an early day. * . j The Albany News reports business : dull. There is a letter in the Albany P. O. for the belle of that place. The Heard County News tells of a7j pound cat fish caught in the Chattahoochee near there. Hiram McDonald formerly a highly respectable citizen of Heard county, died recently in Cleburne county Alabama. Barron of the Heard County News, and Col. Beall of Franklin are discuss ing the question of Life Insurance through the columns of the News. Barron is opposed to it, and presents some very plausible and sensible ar giunents in faro? of his position. The Macon Telegrajffi of a recent date says: “ Mr. B. 11. True, of Mor gan, was in our office yesterday, and stated in conversation that about fifty Northern families had been introduc ed into that county since the war, bringing with them between thfee and four hundred thousand dollars in cap ital, and adding largely to the improve meuts in the county. They were gen erally well pleased with the situation, and permanently improving their lands and habitations. They were in troducing white labor very extensive ly, and of late had obtained a number of English farm laborers, who gave great satisfaction. ’’ The instruments for the LaGraoge Cornet Band have arrived, and Wil lingham is now happy. West Point is making grand prep arations for a Fireman’s Fair on the 2oth prox. Mr R. D. Hart-ell, a promising young lawyer of West Point is an nouneed in the last News as associate editor of that paper. We welcome Mr. Harrell to the Fourth Estate, and wish him great success in the ardu ous duties of Journalism. Covington boasts of a manumitted female who can put herself out-side ot nineteen large hen eggs after supper. A “Flee Club” is being organized in Covington. The Covington Enterprise reports hogs and cattle dying in that vicinity. The Local of the Enterpise wants to employ a double-jointed, freckle faced, knock-kneed, red-headed, cross eyed ruffian to du the boxing for his column. The police of Rome have been Uni formed in gray with brass buttons. Mrs. W. R. Smith, one of the most accomplished ladies of Floyd county died in Rome on the 11th February. Mr. Moses Lee of Houston, Heard county had his kitchen burned on the 21st ultimo. The McGee Brothers of LaGrange have erected a fine Merchant Mill at that place. The LaGrange Reporter says: There lives, near Hogansville,- in this county, two very old persons, to-wit: William Kilgore and wife. They were born near Powellton, Hancock county, Ga., about the year 1780, and must now be 90 years of age, or older. Previous to the war they had a good property, largely composed of negroes- They still nave their land, and for thir ty years have rarely left their house for any purpose. They have ever been scrupulously holiest and exact in all their dealings. Mrs. Kilgore has al was done her own house-work, sucli as cooking, milking, churning, Ac. She has, with her own hands, spun and wove all of their clothing during their long married life Mr. K. never be longed to any church, never buys on a credit, and deals in no currency that does not have the “ring of the true metal” about it. Mr Kilgore settled in Troup county, where he now lives, more than 40 years ago, and has not been to the county site in 2o years. And noW Palmetto is trying to have a brass band. The tax payers of Pulaski* county are agitating the building of a Court House. A meeting was to have been held on last Tuesday at Hawkinsville to consider the subject. Judge Parrott held court last week in Gordon county. The Newnan Defender reports Newnan as still improving. The McDuffie Journal published at Thomson, boasteth in its last issue up on the various improvements, now go ing on in that villiage, and closes its article with the following sensible sug gestions, which we commend to the citizens of Carrollton: Now, let us be wise, and foster the growing in terests of our town by building hous es—of which there is great lack—to accommodate those who wish to come among us and bring with them their capital, their talents, or their skill. By so doing we serve our own inter ests, and enhance the value of our prop erty; by adopting an exclusive or su percilious manner, we commit a suici dal act, and will suffer all the bad consequences of so foolish a policy. How Grant was Nominated. Colonel Forney published in the Sunday Chronicle a remarkable account of the manner in which Grant was first, nominated for President. He says Judge Carter and Senator Thayer suggested to him, in November, 1867, to write an exhaustive article favoring such a nomination. Forney replies: I answered that General Grant was not a candidate for President, and did not desire to be, and if I printed it without authority there was little doubt that some gupeiserviceable politician would call upon him, and ask him if he had been made a candidate with his sanction. He will, of course, reply that l>e never saw the article till it was in print, and so all your scherns to make him President will “gang e glee.” Then Rawlins took it to Gen eral Grant, and stayed quite a long time. When he returned he said : “General Grant is quite pleased with your statement ot his political record, and surprised that ne proves to be so good a Republican.” Upon this hint I printed. YY hen Kawlins came back from General Grant with the editorial he told us with great emphasis, “Gen eral Grant does not want to be Presi dent. He thinks the Republican par ty may need him, and he believes, as their Candidate, he can be elected and re-elected.” “But,” said Rawlins, “what is to be come of him after his second Presiden tial term? What, indeed, during his administration ? lie is receiving from seventeen to twenty thousand dollars a year a& General of the armies of the republic, a fife salary. To go into the Presidency at twenty-five thousand dollars a year for eight years is per haps to gain mote fame, but what is to become of him at the end of his Pre- ideney? He is not a politic-aim— He does not aspire to the place.— Eight years from the 4th of March, 1869, he will be about fifty-six years old. Os course, he must spend his salary as President. England, with her Wellington, her Nelson, and her other heroes on land and sea, has nev er hesitated to enrich and ennable them through all their posterity. Such a policy is in accordance with the char acter of the English government, but in our country the man who fights for and saves the republic would be a beg gar if lie depended upon political office: and mark it, if Grant takes any thing from the rich, whose vast fortunes he has savt and, after he is President, he will be accused as the willing recipient of gifts.” It will thus be seen that Grant in tended to run for the Presidency for a second term when lie was working for the first. Wiiat Good Roads Do. —An ex change truly says: Good roads benefit every one resi ding along their course. Good roads save horse flesh. They facilitate the transportation of produce to market, and save your temper*- Good roads increase the value of your land, and lend attractiveness to the eye of a stranger. Good roads increase the traffic and business of a town hv its vitality in all branches of trade. Show us a town which receives a large country trade by means of the line roads leading to it and we will show you a place that is lively, pro gressive, and thrifty, with money cir culating plenty, and men in all branch es of industry as busy as beavers. Pennsylvania Central Railroad. —The above road is said to be the most powerful organization in the worM. The road proper embraces 358 milfcr of main track, and 258 of branches; but these constitute a very small part of the lines controlled by the company. The statement is, that in addition, the Central manages 3,2t)0 miles of leased lines, making a gaud aggregate of 3,816 miles road practi' cally under one control. The gross receipts of this vast property for the fiscal year just closed, were $22,2< 2, 100 58, and the net profits of the company for the year were $6,896, 463 51. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
