THE SUCCESSION.
We have been asked to state the
order of succession in the presiden
tial office. It is fixed by chapter
4 of the acts of the Forty-ninth
congress, first session. It provides
that in case of the removal, death,
resignation or inability of both the
president and vice-president, then
the secretary ot state shall act as
president until the disability of the
president or vice president is re
moved or a president is elected.
If there be no secretary of state,
then the secretary of the treasury
will act; aud the remainder of the
order of succession is as follows:
The secretary of war,attorney gen
eral, postmaster general, secretary
of the navy and secretary of the
interior. The acting president
must, upon taking office, convene
congress, if not at the time in sess
ion, in extraordinary session, giv
ing twenty days’ notice. This act
applies only to such cabinet officers
as shall have been appointed by
the advice and consent of the sen
ate, and are eligible under the con
stitution to the presidency.
The portfolio of agriculture was
not in existence when the act was
passed.
The Forty-ninth congress was
chosen in 1884. The act here
summarized was inspired by the
assassination of President Garfield,
i.i 1881.
As originally drawn and reported
to the senate the bill included the
speaker of the house aud president
pro tempore of the senate, in the
order named, to come after the
cabinet should be exhausted; but
those names were stricken out.

vice president with the chief jus-

THGNEW COURT HOUSE.
The News and Courant regrets
that there should be talk of oppo
sition to the new court house and
hopes that it will not take definite
shape, as it could only cause delay
in the work.
The board of commissioners who
have the matter in hand, seeing
the necessity for anew court house
for Bartow county, have purchased
the lot and have paid for it. The
lot is now the property of the coun
ty, and it was a good investment
and bought at a reasonable price.
They have further advertised for
bids on the court house, and Mr.
Fred Wagner being the lowest bid
der, the contract for building the
foundations was awarded to him
for $4,245 Under the law the
commissioners could not let the
contract for the complete building
this year, and have only let the
contract for the foundations. The
bid of Mr. Wagner for the whole
building including the foundations,
was $43,475. If he should receive
the contract to complete the build
ing, the amount tor the foundations
will be deducted from that amount,
which would leave $39,230 for the
remainder aboye the .foundations.
The cost is not excessive for the
building contemplated. It will be
a handsome structure and a credit
to the county. With nearly four
million dollars of taxable property
the county could not in justice to
herself spend less than the amount
named above in anew court house.
The have acted
on what they consider the best in
terests of the county, and, upon
the recommendation of the last
grand jury have taken the neces
sary steps to carry into effect this
recommendation and bwifd anew
court house.
The court house tax for the
present year will raise nearly
twenty thousand dollars. This
would leave about twenty-three
thousand dollars to be raised by
taxation, from which will be de
ducted the amount the old court
house will bring at a sale, thus re
ducing the amount to be raised by
taxation.
If the people of the county
would prefer to issue bonds to
budd the court house and a proper
representation was made to the
commissioners, they would no
doubt give them an opportunity to
vote for bonds, and thus relieve
the necessity of raising the whole
cost of the court house in two
years. Bonds could be issued for
the balance of the amount neces
sary after paying the tax this fal 1 ,
if the tax payers of the county pre
fer to pay for the court house in
this way.

The last issue of the Calhoun
Times contains the following com
munication suggesting Judge A.
! W. Fite, of this city, the able judge
of the superior court, for congress:
j ‘ Editor Times: In a few months
: we will have another political cam
paign upon us and among other
things we will be called upon to
choose a congressman to represent
this district.
‘‘Judge Maddox has held the of
fice for many years and has made
a good congressman. He is a
clever man and my friend, but we
have other able and valuable men
in the district and it is nothing but
fair to them to make a change oc
casionally. I do not hesitate to
say that Judge Maddox has ably
reptesented our district, but at the
j same time candor forces me to say
j that he has represented it no bet
| ter than others might have done,
i “There is no abler and better
1 equipped man in the district for
congress than Jugge A. W. Fite.
| He is young, vigorous, broadly in
-1 formed and in every way fitted for
j a scat in the national congress, f
ido not know whether Judge bite
j will or will not run, but I do know
( that he would make an excellent
o'c.-'sman and if he should run
j Ail that the contributor to the
j Times says about Judge Fite i
true, aud more, too. Neither his
probity nor his ability are to be
questioned. The News aud Cou-
rant does not know what the
Judge’s intentions are, but if he
should decide to enter the race he
would make the contest an inter
esting one.

Life
Somewhere in the world life is
stake every minute of the day. Right
at our own doors, perhaps, is going on a
struggle as grim and fierce as any fight
or flight on record. You hear the hol

which tells of the wounded lungs ; mark
the emaciated body and hectic cheek,
and know a life is at stake.
The use of Dr. Pierce’s Golden Med
ical Discovery has saved many a life in
just such a crisis. It cures obstinate,

rhage, strengthens " weak ” lungs, and

mal weight and strength.
There is no alcohol in the " Discov
er , / and it is absolutely free from
