IHBSEMI-WEEKLY EXPRESS. *' W. HARRIS, \ *. ". rrkwstkr ) E ‘ l ‘ torsaud Proprietor*. CARTERsyiLLK. Q,\. t QCtT G 1871 hig I air week, in our apology for tha lack of locals in this inane. The Fair Is progressing finely. We were fearful that there was too much diffi deuee exhibited on the part of the cit izeu* of Bartow couuty, towards an enterprise upou which so much of her future welfare vas staked, but we are more than ever l>efore hopeful as to its final results. The year has been a ▼ery inauspicious one for fairs. The people are in debt. The wheat and o and crops were almost an eutiro failure, the cotton crop not much better, while the corn crop will barely supply home consumption with a considerable sup of the old one to help. The hay | crop has been very good, but unfortu nately but little was raised for market. In addition to all this, a grievous and burdensome tax is npon us, which most be speedily met and liquidised. Under all these adverse circumstances, we are truly rejoiced to seo such a gratifying display of both the beauti ful and useful handiworks of the household and farm. Iu the ladies de partment, while we do not find as great variety us we would like to see, and as we know, under more favorable auspices, would have beeu exhibited, yet that which is ou exhibition is of a very superior quality, and will com pare, as far as it goes, favorably with any like exhibition iu the South. Just enough is .xhibited there to show to the world what our ladies can do, and what they will do, when it comes to the test. We challenge the world to beat it as far ns it goes. The dairy, garden and pantry, are exceedingly thinly represented, which we are sorry to see. Notwithstand ing the year has been a hard one, we know our people could have done much better in these departments if they had willed it. There is a consid erable falling off here from last year. The agricultural department, outside of live stock, is almost a total failure. This is more for waut of interest than for lack of resources to make it inte resting, and, we don’t know but that the word “Agricultural” is a misnomer when coupled with these fairs, for there is not enough in this department to make it even a side issue, yet every farmer makes a little wheat, corn, cot ton, outs, rye, barley, hay, bacon, etc., and might, if they would, make this department passuble if uot exceeding ly interesting. The mechanical department is also very thinly represented, but what specimens are on exhibition, are truly worth}’ to be. They speuk in louder tones thau we can iu the praise ol tue dosig mrs and executors of the work. The artistic department, though limited, is not only good but very good. The live stock department is far more numerous than lust year. Iu fact, the exhibition should be called the Stock Fair,” as this depart ment seems to create all the sensation* The speed ring well nigh absorbs eve rything else. We are glad to see our people interesting themselves iu the improvement of live stock, and it would iucrea.se our joy very much if they would only muuifest the same in terest in all other kiudred depart ments. Then we would have an agri cultural fair indeed. Notwithstanding fill the drawbacks which we have enumerated above, the fair is interesting, olid allows us to bo|>e that better things may be done in the future. All that remains to put it beyond a peradventure, is a little more zeal and energy on the part of onr people, whieh we are encouraged to believe will be fully demonstrated n the future. The greatest drawback, fin our opinion, to the complete suc cess of the enterprise, is the indiffer ence shown on the part of the citizens of Cartersville. We did expect that inasmuch as the fair was at their doors, and inasmuch as the business men of Cartersville would derive more benefit from the fair than anybody else, that they would manifest a great er degree of interest in it. But we find in this we are mistaken. But a very few of our mechanics exhibit any thing. and not one in ten of our citi zens even honor the occasion with heir presence. Ob yesterday the crowd was consid erably increased from the day before, and things looked a little more like business. The able and practical ad dress of Hou. Thomas Hardeman, Jr., of Macon, Ga., was replete with words of wisdom and wholesome admoni tions to the people of Cherokee Geor gia, It was the effort of a master mind, eloquent, logical and spirited, and should be read and heeded by the people of the entire JSta'e and South, Misapplied <«cnii»* Genius is a vigorous plant. In the exotic splendor of the cultivated intel lect or the weediness of an untrained di-pravity it flourishes with equal (strength; in the one it entwines with j gentle thoughts, noble emotions and i honorable ambitious; in the other it chokes all these which are weaklings in such a soil and absorbs them in its own rack profusion. The sweet sub limity of the juoet, the colossal grand cur of the statesman, the sparkling effervescence of the wit, and the com prehensive coiiceptivenessof the mech anician are but the cultured fruit of the same plant that, bearing but pois onous berries, luxuriates iu the brain of tlie schemer, the forger and the co .spirutor. You may call genius by a hundred other names when you see it gross and base; it may be **mere low cunning,” “cuteneis,” “sharpness” or “ingenui ty,” but it is still genius; and you may as well deny the cat consanguini ty with the lion as say there is no rela tionship between the mind that frames a bridge to sp.m a river and the one that forges a key to pick a lock; or be tween the general who plans a siege and the magsmun who concocts a bur glary. Quickness, resolution and tact are the requisites of each operation, and these are essentially the qualities of genius. Opening the great book of human nature, let us take a passing glance at the way Band doings of misapplied ge nius—the weed, not the fljwer. In London it abounds on all sides, and we need not seek far for a specimen. There is a demi-semi-respectable man sauntering down Regent street. He is too anxiously peering into the faces of the passers-by to be a loung er, he is too careless of the gaudy win dows to be a countryman, he is too cleanly shaven, white cravated, and well brushed to be a pickpocket, but he looks what he desires to look, like a waiter out of a situation. Suddenly his little eyes twinkle with mischief, and he darts among the c.tbs and car ringes to the other side of the road, ami for the next ten minutes dodges the footsteps of a young genthman who is strolling leisurely along, gazing w’iih undisguised wonder at the shops and the people. The quarry stops to look at u photograph, and, with the timidest tone and stealthiest step, the hunter approaches him. “I beg your pardon, sir,” says the misapplied geni us in the accents of abashed modesty, “but have 1 the honor to speak to Cap tain Bigboy of the Blues?” and before the fluttered and astonished young gentleman can deny the imputation, huadds: “Ah, sir, glad to see you’ve not forgotten your friend Charles, the waiter at the club, sir; but I am not in the club now. No sir, as you may remember, I went into the tobacco line—don’t you recollect the subscrip tion, sir?—and got on well till lately, ami then, sir, if you only kimw what I’ve gone through—but time hours ago the bailiffs were put into the house, and I’ve managed to smuggle away from the shop five or six boxes of cigars, which, sir, I’ve got in the back parlor of a house close handy, and if you will ouly purchase one from me, Captain, you shall have it as cheap as dirt. ’ For a moment he pauses, and the young gentleman tells him he is mistaken. There is such an air of deep disappointment upon the coun tenance of the misapplied genius, us with a sigh he retires, that the good natured young gentleman recalls him and says: “If you really have the ci gars to sell cheap—and five minutes afterward he finds himself in the back parlor alluded to. There awaiting their arrival is a boy, ingenui v alt us purr, ingrnuiaur purdoris, who is intro duced as "my son, sir.” And several boxes of cigars are brought forward, and one selected for inspection, con turning a couple of hundred of the choicest Havanas, worth at least two guineas a pound. The victim chooses one cigar, lights it, finds it perfection, and gives the ex-writer thirty shillings for the box. More he would buy, but having little over that amount in his pocket, he is forced to refrain. “Jim, wrap it up for the gentleman, while I show him a merschaum, and the mis applied genius produces one or two • laborutely curved pipes from his pocket, bul being unable to conclude a bargain, shows the young gentleman with much courtesy to the door, and bows adieu. When that young gen tleman reaches the quiet of his own chamber, and unwraps the box he has been carrying so carefully, he is not pleased to rind it contaiu three two penny bundle* of wooden spells. Another misapplied genius stands at Charing Cross. Iu his arms he bears a little Maltese terrier of about the size and whiteness of a ball of worsted, and at the end of a string tug two little shivering black and-tans.— A lady passing by fulls in love with his tiny ship of the white worsted as pect, and, after a little haggling, buys him for a sovereign. She hurries home with her canine atom in a glow of anticipation and delight, and fully impressed with the mans directions “not to let him go, as he is a lively creeter.” The drawing room is reach ed, the maiden sisters called to partic ipate in the rapture, and the treasure is placed upon the table. There is a sudden start on the part of pet, a frisk, a dash, a scramble at the win dow curtain, and before ten seconds have elapsed, quick as the harlequin’s magic in a pantomime, all that remains of the Maltese beauty is a bundle of fur and a half stupefied, large brown rat, who, by a copious narcotic dose, hus been induced to play the role of the puppy. A gentleman’s servant iu a groom’s livery, one hot summer’s day rested for refreshment at the bar of a hotel in the strand. In a common wooden cage he had a bird, the beauty ana gorgeousness of whose plumage sur passed the bird of paradise in hue— green, gold and crimson rivaled each other in splendor, and when the by ! slanders were informed tliat he coaid t "talk like a Christian,” their admira tion was uubouuded. “But,” said tb< man-servant, seriously, “he has one fault—he swears—not often; hut when he does swear, he’s dreadful.” And here he looked approvingly at the bar maid, who began to giggle. “Now, my mistress,” he continued, “can’t abide swearing, aud she’s sent me to sill him to one of the bird dealers iu St. Ma: tiu s lane for two-|xmnd-teu, and she gave a ten pound uoteforhim not four mouths ngo.” The landlord was a too well to do man to let a chance like that go away; so, calling j the mau-aervant one side, he purchas- I ed the bird for a trifle less than the sum asked, and sent for an appropri ate brass cage to put him luto. Tl at same afternoon, the happy owmer was exhibiting bis purenase to a friend, when the beautiful bird stuck its head on one side, gave a comical look at the ceiling, and solemnly cried out, “Caw Jack.” The plumage was a paradisai cal, but the voice was the voice of the vulgar; and the astonished laud lord ami visitor stood aghust at the denoue ment. Some w'ater and soap soon de veloped the black wings and back of the jackdaw', and I question whether the host would at the present moment take the two pounds, odd, he gave for the bird three years ago. That same unappreciated genius sold, simply in’ public houses, to the knowledge of the first victim, no less than eight of those variegated jackdaws iu London, to the discomposure of the purchasers and the aggrandisement of his art. Here stands another genius. A man on the pavement is selling little black dolls, aud as he vends, he cries, “Here you are, here you are, a little black doll that squeaks like a child, and ain’t no bigger than a man’s thumb.” He holds up the tiny black effigy, and squeezing its sides, a most ludicrous squeak is emitted from its interior; a well dressed man makes a hurried raid upou the hawker, dashes down a pen ny, and rushes off with his prize, fol lowed by twenty little boys, yelling to the top of their voices, “Please, sir, it ain’t him that squeaks; it’s the man that squeaks;’’ and that well dressed mail quickly awakens to the reality that he is dealing with a misapplied genius, for the doll is dumb and he has become an object of ridicule. To guard against imposture you de mand a sample, which he conveniently has in his pocket and seek the wife of your bosom, whose word in such mat ters is undeniable. She reports favor ably—very favorably—and you return to the room with a coraphauce. All that remuius for you to see to now is that the bales are up io the sample.— The test is again satisfactory, aud the misapplied genius walks away with the £ls, and leaves you a hieroglyph ical receipt and a promise to call again aud settle iu due time. But ten times ten days have elapsed, and you go to G Hawk’s Court, which you find to be a squalid coffee-house where they nev er heard of Kite but once, when he called for some letters he had got per mission to have directed there. If you are a strictly honorable person you will upou this insert an advertise ment in the Times , informing Kite that unless he fetches away certain property left iu your hands it will be* sold to pay expenses, and having fail ed to receive an answer, when you en deavor to carry out your threat you will discover that the “pique” is sim ply stamped cotton, worth about sd. a yard, but so well gotten up that even a haberdasher could hardly tell it un til it had been watered, and then the imposture shows itself with a ven geance. If you are lucky you will get a five pound note for your five bales, aud some experience toward conduc ting your next commercial transaction with a missapphed genius. But generally the advertiser, wish ing to borrow money upon “ security,” is a watchmaker, and brings you speci mens oi his workmanship, which are so carefully manufactured at Briming ham that a j<-weller himsdf might be taken into believing them valuable property. Upon these he rarely fails to raise money; but the introduction of machinery lias rendered this branch of industry nardly worthy of the at tention of the nnsappled genius, who is gradually forsaken it, for the “ prof it ” is so small, now that we have ma chine made watching, that much of such industry is checked. The daily newspaper affords a capi tal emporium to the misapplied gen ius, and enables him to communicate freely with his less gifted bretheru. Here he daintily baits his hook with offers of diamond rings and pins, clus ter brooches, or gold lever watches, which an afflicted widow or a depress ed invalid has been obliged to pawn and whose “ tickets” she will sell you for a trifle. In this speculation there are generally two misapplied geniuses, the adveit;ser and the p iwnbrokt rs; for the articles are sufficiently gold to swear by, and although the sum lent upon them—or supposed to be lent upon them—represents the double of their value, it is difficult to prove col lusion. iwo misapplied geniuses made bul '*&' r 'l.' a nio>t successful tour through the provinces, exercising their profes sional capacities with such tact that there is hardly a watering place in England in which they have not left a trail of their footsteps. Into the best hotel of the place would come two dashing officers of Her Majesty’s navy —the one a flue young fellow of twen ty in a “ middy’s” uniform, the other a genial rollicking, stout man of for ty, sunburnt, with black crisp, curly beard and pearly teeth. Calling for ihe best the house afforded, the choic est wines and costliest dinner, they speedily ingratiated themselves vvim tne landlord. In the possession of the eld r was a magnificent stick, real ly worth fifty pounds, which, of course, fell iu for its share of admiration. Iu the course of the evening the landlord ami pci haps one or two favored cus tomers were to share a bottle of wme. Then fell from the lips of the^e : affable squanderers stories of money literally thrown away—of a two roontus’ “cruise ashore,” a scamper i over the continent, a raking week in Loudon, interlard* and with so many amusing adventures, that the listeners sat entranced till the small hours of , morning, whilst their enjoyment was | uot lessened by the unbounded bospi- I tab,tv of the narrators. On the uext i morning there was a whisper over the j place that these wild sailors had pawu ed in Loudon some immensely valua ! bte jewelry, aud that the lucky land j lord had, for a ten pound note, bought j the ticket. The “ ticket” iu question was l.ke a page from the leaf of a fairy book, one long list of diamonds, rubies, cameos and pearls: but when the fortuuate landlord redeemed the nr. idea at eighty or ninety pounds, he found, to his chagrin, that they were not worth forty. From the very wri ter of this article these misapplied I geniuses succeeded iu extracting thir tj-fiv© pounds, and he met them at One of the m* *st fashiouable club hous es of a fashionable watering place. Bu I had resulvod to restrict my self to the very lower order of misap plied genius—the rankest of the w eeds aud I am already encroaching upon a class above that I had inten ded writiug about. Tuis more raudy and more poisonous social nettle is sufficiently common to deserve an ar ticle to itself. Now, if by the work of education all these powers of evil could be turn ed into agents of good; if all the thought, resolution and courage spent here in doing ill were brought to bear on honest industry; if, instead of fight ing society, all this misapplied genius fought for society, a mine of wealth would be added to the common good and much misery spared; for the most peculiar feature about misapplied gen ius is that, however successfully it may be for a time, iu ninety cases out of a hundred it dies iu a workhouse or jail. JftaT "Sambo, is your master a good farmer ?” "Oh, yes, boss first-rate farmer; he make two crops in one year.” “How is that Sambo ? ” “Why, he sells all his hay in the fall, and make money once; Jen in de spring he sell he hides of de cable dat 4ie for he want of the hay, and makes money once.” An old negro woman near Richmond, Va., is the veritable oldest inhabitant.

The most of our time having been em ployed in attention of other matters, we have not give county matters the attention we desired. By our committees, we have exam ; ned the Records of our county officers, and find them to be neatly and correctly kept, as for as we have had time to make the examina tion. We find the public roads in the county in good condition, with the exception of the road leading from Gilliam’s Old Ferry to the line of the 4th district, towards Carters viile, which we recommend the Commis sioners of Kingston district te have worked out immediately. We recommend that the change, peti tioned for, in the road leading from Adairs ville to Fairmount, should not be granted; and that the Ordinary suspend further ac tion on tho same. We also recommend that the road leading from Cartersville to Capt. Puckett’s Ferry be opened and put upon the original ground where it originally was; and that the Ordi nary be required to give a preemptory or der for the same. By referring to the presentments of the jury of last week, we find that they recom mend hands to be put on the road known as the ‘’lsland Ford” road, in the 17th district We find, on investigation, that said road is not a public road; therefore, bauds cannot be put on it. We would respectfully recommend that the Ordinary publish and let, out contracts, in future, to build bridges, to the lowest re sponsible bidder. We do further recommend that, the prop er authorities rent the dwelling house at tached to the jail to the jailor, at a reasona ble rent, and the proceeds go to the benefit of the county. We have examined the General Present ments of the Grand Jury of last week, and endorse the same as far sa relates to county matters, with the exception of the “Island Ford Koad” in the I7ih district. We hereby tender to His Honor, Judge W. F. Wright, our thanks for the ability, im partiality, and able charge delivered to this body. We do also, tender our thanks to the Solicitor General, C. E. Broyles, for his promptness, courtesy and attention to this body. W’e recommend that these presentments be published in both the Cartersville pa pers, THOMAS TITMLIN, Foreman. John C. Maddox, Clerk.
