MATTERS IN FORSTTII COUNTY.
MUn-Ciwuninc Srhool*—Thfi Farmer# |
Wakt-I l p, etc, etc.
Editors Oomtitution: Since your |
valuable paper has quite a large eircu-1
la lion, anil is valuable as a staunch
and leading journal in the State, I ;
venture a few thoughts on matters in ;
general.
This, Forsyth, is an up-country |
county, bordering on the mountain
counties, and considered poor, yet, if,
properly developed, it would compare
favorably with many other counties
of the State. Her up-land soil is
generally ]»oor, but susceptible of
grwit improvement. But we have !
quite a numl>or of creeks and two 1
rivers, the Chattahoochee and Etowah j
—which afford a large number of j
acres of fine land, though generally
in -mall bodies, which produce freely
and remunerate the Industrious farm
er handsomely for his lal>or. These j
streams afford an abundance of water
power capable for any machinery.
We have eight flouring mills, besides *
numerous com and saw mills. Our j
people nre generally industrious and I
well-behaved. Not a so-called K. K. |
outrage ha* been committed in the j
f-ouuty; oar jail is uninhabited, ex-j
cent by a few fleas during summer, j
The county town, Gumming, is a j
qiffet village, of some four hundred ;
inhabitants, and not a loafer; live dry
gtxxls stores and one family grocery, j
three shoe shops, all doing a fair '
business; no licensed retail shop in
the place; live regular wagon shops
arid manufactories, which turn out
about three hundred wagons annually
beside* several others in the county,
which make about one hundred more
-a pretty fair trade this for one
small county. Besides this, Gumming
has a fine High School, under the
charge of Professor James U. Vin
cent ayoungond|energetic man, which
now numbers, notwithstanding
the continued severe cold weather
since January, 95 students, with a
fair prospect of an increase* to at least
12a by commencement of the second
quarter, which will be on the second
Monday in Alnreh. It is not only a
good school, instruction thorough, etc,
but a cheap school; board in good
families sin to M 5 per month, and
tuition low in proportion. Now when
von consider that the location is as
healthy tw any in the State, iim
mountain atmosphere and pure water,
no grocery to entice the young man
from bis books, can parents, do better
than to send their sons and daughters
to this school? Certainly not.
A few words more and I will close:
The few fair days past seems to have
waked up our farmers; in passing
through a portion of the county
one of those days, 1 found them
hard at work sowing oats and break
ing up their land if blessed with favor
able seasons, will make tine crops
this year. Many are preparing to
increase their cotton crop, it is a cash
staple and easily marketed, hence
tin* farmers are planting sufficient of
tin* cereals for home consumption
intend the surplus for cotton. C.
Messrs. Editors : —When I look
around ine and see that I dwell in the
midst of successful merchants, and
eloquent lawyers, and fluent Minis
ters of the Gospel, and then consider
that I was brought up in almost ob
scurity and between the plow handles,
l almost shudder at the thought of
lifting my pen to write for the eye of
a criticizing public. But standing
musing on the present and future
condition of things pertaining to the
welfare of the country, I, in my imag
ination, hear the widow and orphan
cry speak ; i hear the mechanic cry
speak, and I hear the Editors cry
speak, and the merchant and farmer,
alsd cry speak. And how shall I re
frain from speaking. 1 don’t propose
to speak for all in this article, but
from time to time I will speak for
them all. I will first speak for the
widow arid mechanic, and in so doing
I speak loudly for the good of my
country. And in speaking for them
T call on our people to know if we
can’t make this (Bartow county) a
manufacturing county. We have all
the facilities necessary. We have the
men, and they have the brains to
build cotton factories and rolling
mills. And the great Etowah river
with its rumbling shoals spans our
entire country, affording ample site
for millions of machinery. And now
ltd us suppose one or two cotton fac
tories in full operation on its verdant
shores near Cnjrtersville, do you not
think they would give life and vig
or to our town in the way of trade
and business? And then the many
widows who have large families of
girls, and are almost suffering for
bmul, would have employment, and
live happy and comfortable. Yes,
Messrs. Editors, those vine clad hills
where the lazy serpent now crawls
from the cliffs of rocks to bask himself
in the sun, and the hooting of the owl,
and the shrill whistle of the whip
. poonvill is heard reverberating along
their vallies, would be tilled with
happy little villages, and instead of
croaking of the frogs along the hills
of our river, we would hear, at night,
the sweet voices of the now east down
widows and orphan children lifting
heir notes in praise to God and our
country that they now had homes and
plenty. In view of these tliiugs let
us all put our shoulders to the wheel,
and try to build up cotton factories in
our midst. We raise the cotton at
home, so the raw material can be had
v right at the door of our factories. And
then the farmer can obtain a better
price for his cotton at home. I will
say more about iron manufactories in
the future. We all know our moun
tains are full of the useful ore, and so
1 will defer any remarks on that sub
ject, and now say a word for the Edi
tors.
In our midst we have talented Ed
itors who are striving to buildup our
trade and country, and I am sorry to
say (but alas it is so!) that a great
many of our citizens send off to for
eign markets for their news and job
work in printing, even when they
could get it cheaper and better done at
home, and then we would retain the
money here among us. Often when
I think on the.se things I am con
strained to cry, “O shame where is
thy blush?” We should remember
that if we build up our own paper we
build up ourselves. How proud it
must make any citizen of Bartow feel
to hear persons at a distance praising
our paper, The Standard & Ex
press, and how must such a citizen
I blush to hear such, and then think “I
f don’t help it any.” Come citizens,
i let us swell its subscription list to two
i thousand, and then we can look for a
I good paper, or a better paper, as we
| now already have a good paper, but
lif we will double its number of sub-
Iscribers we have a right to demand of
lour Editors stronger exertions on
■their part. So with a strong pull
lind a long pull and a pull together,
tip goes our count y and paper.

The late Ejection in New Hsunj»-
Niirc Future Prospects, <&c-
The election for Governor in New
Hampshire has resulted in favor of
the Radicals by a majority of fifteen
hundred votes, and a large majority
In the Legislature. The local elec
tions in New York also strongly in
dicate that a similar result is to be
expected there, and Connecticut, it is
believed, will follow suit, in the same
direction. However undatable it
may be, these are but evidences of
the ]K>pularity of Gen. Grant in the
Northern States, and foreshadow not
only the now undoubted fact of his
re-nomination, but of the decided
strength which he will bring to the
contest. We have never yielded our
assent to the opinion so confidently
expressed by experienced and lead
ing men, that the Democratic party,
united, would be able to triumph in
the next political contest; and the
result in the alxive States and the
general expectation as to what it will
in all probability under present as
pects be, serves the more to confirm
our doubts .i- to the correctness of
any such opinions. If it is based up- i
on estimates of party strength which j
existed prior to the war, had no
change taken place in party eonnee- j
tions since that time, it might be re- ;
lied upon as perhaps altogether cor- j
rect. But the war itself and the
events following have produced such
an entire revolution in the opinions
and positions of the people, that no
such calculation of party strength can
now be made with anything like ex
actness, and is altogether uncertain |
and fallacious. The Radical party as I
is well known, is made up not only 1
of the Abolition party proper, of the I
anti-slavery men, and as a general j
rule of the almost entire Northern
wing of the old Whig party, but also I
received a very large and strong and J
valuable addition from the ranks of
the Democratic party itself. Indeed,
while it has received overwhelming
aid from all other sources on the conti
nent from theold partii existing prior
to the war, to which is to be added
the immigrant voters and the whole
body of the negro population, the
Democratic party, laboring under a
fatally lamentable depletion has be
come, if not disintegrated, yet so
fearfully weakened as to render it
unable to contend successfully with
its huge plethoric adversary. In our
judgment, it Is all told, decidedly the
weaker of the two, anil in any elec
tion which may come, unaided it
must and will meet with inevitable
defeat. A victorious war party will
always prove a victorious political
party, and gathering strength from
its prestige of success defies opposi
tion. Whatever causes may be as
signed, and however true they may
be, for Democratic defeat in New
Hampshire or New York, or else
where, defeat exists, and the Radical
is in the ascendant. If the adminis
tration is to be defeated, it is to be
done, not by Democracy single-hand
ed, but by the bringing to her aid
every element of strength which can
be obtained from any and from every
quarter. Anew party or at least
new party allignmentsmust be made,
especially if in so doing, the aid re
quired shall come from the adminis
tration party itself. Let us rely not
upon the vain yet cherished hope
that our strength is as groat as in the
olden time when Democracy swayed
the destinies of the Republic, but re
membering our past defeats, our ut
ter prostration, dwindled down to a
hopeless minority in Congress, the
patronage of thy Government array
ed with its thousands of office holders
against us, and nothing in reality to
sustain us but our adherence to right
and indomitable attachment to the
principles of our time honored party,
let us, convinced of the necessity, for
the sake of the public good, liberty,
and the Constitution, seek for and
eagerly accept any and all aid which
may be offered us. If a “new de
parture,” not at the sacrifice of prin
ciple whatever may be the expedi
ents adopted, may affect the end,
take it; if an alliance with Liberal
Republicans may secure the battle
against Radicalism, take that; if the
Labor Reform is the most feasible,
then let us gather there ; in short,
whatever may add to our strength,
fair, honorable and just, which may
secure the redemption of the cause of
American liberty and the Constitu
tion of the fathers, should meet with
our hearty and instant approval and
endorsement; or else each successive
conflict with our powerful adversary
will repeat the oft told tale of Demo
cratic defeat and Republican victory.
To defeat him, we must divide his
forces; for undivided it is useless to
deny, he is unconquerable.
Accident. —On Thursday evening
last, as Capt. Sainford and Dr. J. L.
Pierce were riding down quite a steep
hill in the bounds of the incorpora
tion of this place, the straps which
hold the buggy back broke, throwing
the vehicle upon the horse, Avho in
stantly commenced kicking and run
ning. Both gentlemen were thrown
out of the buggy, which latter became
a complete wreck. Dr. Pierce was
severely bruised about the head, and
narrowly escaped very serious injury.
Capt. Samford escaped comparatively
unhurt, save in the loss of his buggy.
The hill is decidedly steep, and we
congratulate the parties that the re
sult is no worse than it is.
THE COURT-HOUSE.
We call the attention of the Ordi
nary, or the Sheriff, or whoever is the
proper officer, to the condition of this
building. Several bad leaks exist,
and the plastering over-head exhibits
many large wet spots. Unless some
thing is speedily done to remedy the
evil, we may not be surprised if a
t umble-down of the plastering over
head will sooner or later take place.
It is one of the finest court-houses in
the State, was built at large expense,
and deserves to be protected. We
give this notice, hoping that the prop_
er authorities will not pass it by unre.
garcled.
Gumming, Ga.,
March 16, 1872.
Editors Standard & Express:
—According to an Act of the late
Legislature compelling students to
work on the public roads, the stu
dents of Gumming High School were
summoned to work on the streets of
the town. Many of the students feel
ing indisposed to loose the time from
school, made applications to the town
commissioners to assign them a cer
tain portion of the streets to work on
Saturdays. The commissioners as
signed them Dahlonega street. The
students willingly turned out “en
masse” on the 16tli inst., drawing off
their blacked boots, paper collars and
cravats, worked with the same zeal
that they are noted for in the school
room. Sawnee.
The Necessity for a Criminal Court.
Bartow Superior Court, which has
been in session for two weeks, ad
journed on Friday evening last.
Many old cases, which had been on
the docket for years, were disposed of,
but unfortunately leaving so many
others behind, that an adjourned term
has been appointed to be held the last
of April. J udge Harvey, from Rome,
presided the last week, very much to
the satisfaction of the jieople and the
bar. Judge Parrott is a working
Judge, and by his prompt attention
and expeditious movements has done
a good deal towards diminishing the
docket. We regret that it is still so
large, as it necessarily operates as a
drawback upon the other business of
the county. In this respect, howev
er, we are in much better condition
than many other counties in other
circuits, if our information be correct;
the cases untried being so numerous
that it is impossible in the nature of
things to reach them. In one county
we learn that the number reaches sev
en hundred. It can easily be imagined
what a burthen, delay and expense
must lie incurred by all the witnesses
and parties concerned, and whatade
nial of justice and law is necessarily
felt. From whatever causp this state
of tilings results, a remedy is not on
ly vastly needed but ought to be ap
plied by the legislature.
It has occurred to us that the idea
of separating the civil and criminal
courts would probably best answer
the purpose. One or two important
criminal eases sometimes occupy
nearly the whole of one week, and
the multiplicity of indictments for
lesser offenses, also demanding trial,
must always sadly interfere with a
speedy determination of civil rights.
The jails are crowded with criminals
almost every term, and the court is
always bound to see that it is cleared
if possible. Cases for petty misde
meanor- consume time, and under
the present political status, the freed
man will always in this way prove a
stumbling block in the speedy deter
mination of rights. As it is, the case
which stands seven hundred on a
docket, has but little opportunity of
being heard for years, and court after
court must pass away before it can be
tried, heaping up the costs and call
ing the people from their homes and
business. A separate criminal court
where all these cases were to be tried
would modify if not remove the diffi
culty, and as we think to advantage
in every respect. Time, money, and
possibly, in many instances, rights
would be saved by such an arrange
ment. We think this subject w r orthy
of the consideration of the next Legis
lature.
Cartersville, Ga.,
March 18, 1872.
Messrs. Editors:— Please allow
me to state a few facts for the benefit
of your many readers, in reference to
the sale of the narrow-guage engine,
the property of the Cherokee Rail
road Cos., by Jordan Farmer, L. C.,of
the 1073 district, Polk county, on the
15th inst. As there seems to be a
great deal of gossip and erroneous
ideas about its validity, etc., etc. On
February the 23 last, past, I had
twelve justice court fi fas levied on
tin* narrow-guage engine and six flat
cars, as the property of the Cherokee
Railroad Cos., by Jordan Farmer L.
C. Said L. C. advertised, as usual for
a E. C., that he would sell the same
on the 4th day of March, 1872, by vir
tue of the several fi fas. By request
of Col. Johnson and Hon. John \\ J
Wofford, I had said sale postponed
till Friday the 15th inst. On that
day. between the legal hours of sale,
said Constable did offer said engine
for sale, and knocked the same off to
me at §IGS. 00, and delivered posses
sion and made bill of sale, etc. The
property was sold under anil by vir
tue of one fi fa in favor of A. P. Smith,
and A. P. Smith, agent of James
Thurman ; both being fi fas issued un
der the laborer’s lien law, they were
regularly obtained before John C'oxe,
J. P. of the 822 district, G. M. There
was nothing done in secrecy, and in
any other than an honorable and open
manner.
The claims were just and unpaid,
and all parties at interest knew that I
was proeeding against this property.
I never refused or evaded giving any
information called upon for in refer
ence to what 1 was about to do or in
tended doing. Even furnished par
ties interested with a list of my fi fas,
and told them the day of sale.
Yet I am being proceeded against
by one D. W. K. Peacock, “a pur
ported Receiver,” for being in con
tempt of court, etc., etc.
Since Capt. Peacock’s appointment,
all the road lying in this county was
sold at sheriff’s sale to John W. Wof
ford, and all that portion in Polk
county levied on and advertised first
for February sale day; then postpon
ed for March sale day; and now post
poned for sale by the Sheriff on April
sale day. And this by Capt. Peacock
himself, to satisfy a pretended claim
of bis vs. said Cherokee Railroad Cos.
In all good conscience are not credit
ors of this mysteriously managed rail
road on equal terms? Has not A. P.
Smith as much right to sell property
to satisfy his claim, as Peacock, Cook,
or anybody else? As all the facts
will be developed on Saturday next,
before Judge Parrott, I will only add
that I know my rights and will dare
maintain them. At the proper time
I will furnish your paper with other
startling facts about the sale.
Respectfully,
Thos. W. Dodd.
(communicated.)
Abairsville, Ga., March 18,1572.
Messrs. Editors : Thinking you
would cheerfully publish a short ar
ticle upon the subject of the I. O. G.
TANARUS., I propose telling you what has
been done in this village since Jan
uary.
Philo Udor Lodge was organized
In January last, with about thirty
members.' She now numbers about
seventv-five, and is flourishing. The
Good Templars have done a good
work; they have put the ball
of reformation in motion, and from
present indications it will continue to
roll until it becomes the mightiest
foe to King Alcohol. One of the
most gratifying features in the case
is there have been no bitter feelings
excited between the Templars and
those who sell and those who drink
ardent spirits. The success of Philo
Udor Lodge is owing, in a great
measure, to the quiet and peaceful
manner in which it has been conduct
ed. There has been no vain boast
ing and gaseous effusions indulged in
by officers or members. Every one
seems content to work for the good
of the order. Too much could not he
said in praise of some noble souls
who have gone into this institution
to do good. Much good has been
done, and we indulge in the pleasing
hope that much more will be done.
The men who sell liquors here are
gentlemen ; they do not do as some
sellers do, curse the Templars: they
let us alone, and sell what they can.
Philo Udor.
EDUCATIONAL PAPERS.
BY MISS A. t*. SAFFORD,

Written for the Standard k Expre-#.]
SCHOOL TEACHING.
I remem!x*r still the amm-<ment
I felt at a remark made to me some j
years ago when I was engaged in my
first school— “ Oh, it is easy to teach !
All you have to do is to keep some '
kind of order and ask quest ions off the
books. If ever I have to make a liv
ing I will go to teaching.”
Simply absurd as this idea seems,
it Ls very prevalent, and the proof is j
plain in the crowds v. ho -eek for em
ployment as teacher
Persons who have l ken down in j
other professions, persons who enter
this merely that they may win their
bread while waiting like Mieawber, j
for something letter to turn up, per
sons who need a litth* pocket-money,
and, worse than all, amateurs who
solemnly declare that money is no j
object with them, that they teach on
ly for pleasure,—these fill the ranks ,
of instruction to repletion. When the j
war ceased our necessities engendered
a species of “cocoethcs discendi”
which still rages.
Teachers of all grades may be ob
tained from the experienced veteran j
down to the amateurs aforesaid, who j
are usually the most impecuniousand I
the least valuable,—not worth em
ployment even at the modest price—
nothing.
Is the vocation indeed so easy that
those who are not intended for it by
art or nature can serve in it accepta-1
bly at a moment’s notice ? Let us
look at a few essentials of true school
teaching as distinct from the mere
school keeping so common in this
age, that we may intelligently deter
mine the question.
School teaching, then, requires a
knowledge of human nature.
A good teacher must vary the sys
tem of instruction and discipline to
suit the varied dispositions of pupils.
There is no patent cast-iron method
for cultivating the intellect any more
than for training flowers and vegeta
bles.
The farmer does not attempt to cul
tivate a cabbage-patch as he would a
cotton-field, nor does be force upon an
apple-orchard the treatment that
would make thrifty pumpkin vines.
He knows that some plants are raised
from seed, others can only be devel
oped and improved by repeated graft
ing ; that some seeds will germinate
best in a moist and shady place, oth
ers require abundant sunshine. Un
derstanding this, he provides suitable
ground and treatment for different
plants and seeds.
The same reasonable principles ap
ply in mental culture. Schools in
which system and order are most
beautifully illustrated have a sleep
less genius behind the scenes varying
the application of every rule so as to
produce harmony in the midst of di
versity. To govern without seeming
to do so, and not to govern too much
is the secret of success. Is this easy ?
One had better break stones by the
road side, go out house-cleaning by the
day, do any drudgery, rather than
tamper ignorantly with God’s fairest,
most mysterious work, the human
mind and soul.
With this tact in reading character
there must be mingled genuine po
liteness, having its origin in a kindly,
sympathetic heart. Children deserve
respect and consideration, and they
will not be put off with a sham arti
cle.
The French varnish of fashion with
its graceful bows and smoothly-utter
ed nothings does not deceive them,
but a heartfelt courtesy they will
rarely fail to return in kind.
“ I have scolded, and stormed, and
threatened, and punished,” said a
teacher of some unruly pupils. “ I
watch and fight, whetheNl pray or
not.” This may be one way of school
keeping, but it is not school teaching.
An old writer gives a more excellent
plan. “ Cultivate,” he says, “ a per
sonal interest and love for all your
scholars, and show it, and perforce
you will render them polite and
agreeable.” Touch the heart if you
would open a door to the mind.
Education is a wider thing than in
struction, implying the power to de
velop© ideas from the minds of the
pupil as well as to implant knowledge
therein, and t his is certainly laboriuos
brain work being far more exhaust
ive than hand work.
The primary meaning of the word
educo, from which our word educate
is derived, is to draw out, and the
highest aim of teaching is to call out
the scholar’s abilities for thought and
work, to cultivate a keen, liberal in
telligence reaching to the roots of
things, and to strengthen the mind by
making it labor for itself. Without
this,
“ The students brain is filled
With unconnected matter half-dis
tilled
From lettered page,”
| and in after years gladly sinks the
j memory of what it neither compre
-1 bended nor loved amidst the plati
tudes of conventional life.
True, the teacher’s own mind must
be stored with knowledge, and there
must be the capacity to give it out
when needful in the form of illustra
tions, and of lucid explanation, but
these should be given as guides, not
crutches for mental inertia to depend
upon. It is a far nobler thing to en
voi ve one new idea from a youthful
brain than to launch into it twenty of
one’s own, and this thing is not an
easy task. No teacher should be ig
norant of the conditions of healthy,
physical life, or venture to violate
them in the training of the pupil lest
the cultivated mind and beautiful soul
be unfitted for action by an unsound
body. In what Coleridge calls “ the
unfledged years,” sufficient healthy,
bodily stimulus from innocent sources
must be thrown into the life to ren
der it joyous and varied. One of the
most celebrated physicians of this
country declared—“ Education is an
affair of the laws of our being, and
J that there is a large amount of men
tal perversion, and absolute stupidity,
as well as of bodily disease, produced
in schools by measures which operate
to the prejudice of the growing brain
is not to be doubted.” All teachers
who by the hot-house system force
precocious scholars, depart from the
rules of plain common sense. While
a child studies let there be real ment
al concentration, but there must be
afterward as absolute relaxation, and
to insist upon severe mental exertion
from a child argues a stupid ignorance
of the laws of life. Even grown peo
ple must have recreation, and when
this constant study is urged upon lit
tle children I am reminded of the pu
ritanic man who averred, “ I want
everything around me to work. I
j would cut off my kitten’s tail if I
caught her playing with it,” anil of
the reply made by hisfrien*
tell me >rho taugb* rfie kitten to
play ?”
It i* mqxissible to determine how
ueeply a youthful heart is influenced
through life by the teachings and ex
ample of the schoolroom. The pecu
liarities, the words and looks, smiles
and frowns of a teacher are remem
bered and quoted long after that
teacher has passed away. The char
acters of children are crystallizing in
to permanent forms, and their finer
sensibilities receive'an ineffaceable im
pression from the instructor—just as
the coin bears always the impress of
the mint in whien it was cast.
To produce : results a child
must be taught to act from the best
motives, and these can only lx? deriv
ed from strong moral and religious
principles. EvenVith aid like this
—poor, faulty human nature finds it
hard to live so as to inspire in others
that high-toned sense of honor, truth
and justice, which is essential to per
fected manhood or womanhood. True
school teaching does not concern it
self solely with the mind and body,
but strives also to train the affections,
nor does it neglect those nobler spir
itual impulses which are the rem
nants of the life of God within the
soul of man.
If these views l>e correct, rash foot
steps ought not to crowd so eagerly
towards the precincts of the teacher’s
calling, and those who have already
entered them have much to do to re
deem teaching from its present unsat
isfactory status, and magnify and
make it honorable. Lord Bacon ut
tered a true maxim when he said, “ I
hold every man to be a debtor to his
profession ; from the which, as men
of course do seek to receive counte
nance and profit, so ought they of
duty to endeavor themselves by way
of amends to be a help and ornament
thereunto.”
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS,
Os the Grand Jury of the Second Week,
March Term, 1872, Bartow Superior
Court.
We, the Grand Jury, selected for
second week, March Term, 1872, beg
leave to submit the following Gener
al Presentments:
We have, by the usual (Commit
tees, gone over much of the ground
of our predecessors of the past week,
in relation to the various county of
fices, and matters of public interest to
the county; and take pleasure in
agreeing with, and corroborating all
they have said in relation to the man
ner in which the recurds of said of
fices are kept. But we have gone
further, and have examined into the
administrative policy of some of the
county officers.
We have examined the various
items and orders of expenditures of
the Ordinary of the county, for the
past two years, and we feel constrain
ed, and beg leave respectfully, to say
that we think said administration has
been characterized with an extrava
gance quite up to the time ; and es
pecially so when we take into view
the impoverished condition of the
people of the county ; to illustrate,
and to say nothing of the jail prop
erty, we would refer to the costly
mansion attached to the jail. We
cite this becanse<nf its magnitude in
amount, but we could, if necessary,
refer to other eases less in amount,
but equal in degree. We regret , too,
to find that in most cases the wants of
the county are obtained at exhorbit
ant prices. When we look back to
the past and see the annual expenses
of our county, and when her citizen’s
fortunes were counted by thousands
and when they are now counted by
hundreds, and compare it with the
present expenses, we confess we feel
alarmed.
We are aware that nothing
that we -may? or have said
upon this subject can remedy the
past, but we feel called on to enter
our protest against the future. Ex
travagance, indulged and tolerated,
begets extravagance, as “vice begets
vice.”
In view of all this, as well as from
piinciple, we are opposed to the un
checked and absolute power of the
ordinaries of the State, to assess and
levy a tax at will; and we would
therefore respectfully recommend our
members of the Legislature to intro
duce a bill at their next meeting, and
have a law passed, if put
ting some check upon, or taking this
power, from the several ordinaries of
the State, and place it in the hands
of the Grand Juries or some other
body of men ; and if not a general law
to this end, at least as to Bartow
county.
We have also had the Superintend
ant of the Pauper Farm of this coun
ty, before us and take pleasure in cor
roborating all our predecessors have
said in relation to that institution or
its worthy and efficient Superintend
ant. We learn from Mr. Linn that the
expenses of the Institution over and
above the income for the past year
was §1,341.
We are prepared, too, to indorse
the compliments paid to our public
buildings, except in so far as they
say “ they very correctly represent
the county to which they belong.”
We do not think they represent the
condition of the people of the county.
The people are poor!
We were invited as a body, by the
gentlemenly and courteous Sheriffs
of the county to visit the “ magnifi
cent new jail,” and we think it comes
fully up to the grand description giv
en it by the Grand Jury of last week.
We find it neatly and well kept. We
find there are at this time seventeen
prisoners within its comfortable walls
—three whites and fourteen colored,
all of whom are comfortably pro
vided for, and most of the later seem
to be enjoying themselves, and happy
and contented —decidedly more so
than they-would be “ wid de shubel
an’ de ho.” The Jail is well venti
lated in all its parts, and we would
suppose it would be decidedly more
comfortable quarters for persons of
little sensibilities of mind and morals,
in the month of July, “dan de cotton
pach. ” Hence we agree with his Hon
or, Judge Harvey, in the remark that
he would be almost afraid to send
one to this splendid jail as a punish
ment for crime, least it should prove
a pleasure rather than a punishment.
And in view of this, we would most
defferentially and respectfully re
quest his Honor, Judge Harvey, and
also Judge Parrott in the future, and
in whose stead Judge Harvy is now
presiding, when they can do so ac
cording to law, would inflet some
other mode of punishment. It would
perhaps be a great saving to the
county; for we find this county
boarding-house-jail costs the county
upon an average from* about $l5O to
S2OO per month!
In all other matters we agree with
the Presentments of the Grand Jury
of the past week, and adopt them as
our own; and further recommend
that the Ordinary look to the condi
tion of the bridge that crosses Euhar
lee creek at Tumlin’s mill, and repair
or build said bridge as he may think
best.
And also, that portion of the Canton
and Adairsville road, between Mr.
Hoges’ residence ami Thos. Stevens’,
at Ballord’s creek, be fixed by the Or
dinary at the county’s expense, not
to exceed a cost of two hundred dol
lars.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Harvey, we take pleasure in bearing
testimony to his able, faithful and
impartial administration of the law.
And we beg leave of tendering him
our sincere thanks for his kindness
and indulgence to this body. We al
so tender to the Solicitor-General, Col.;
Broyles, our thanks for his aid, cour- j
tesv and attention.
\Ye recommend that the foregoing
presentmens be published.
