JOHN HAHWELLDEAD-
Agea Resident Passes Away Lasi
Friday Night.
John Harwell died last Friday
night about one o’clock. He had
been in bad healt.lt for several
months, having had several re
peated spells of the grip which pro
duced a general debility from
which in his old age, he was un
able to rally.
John Francis Harwell was 72
years old, and was among the
early settlers of Cartersville. He
was up to his death the oldest of
those who staked their fortunes
here in the early struggles of the
town. Mr. John Gladden, it is
now said, survives him as the old
est among these.
Harwell’s father, Mr. Buck Har
well, came here sixty years ago
from Habersham county, N. C.,
where John Harwell was born.and
settled near the river. Eater the
family lived in what was called
Birmingham, between Cartersville
and the river. The elder Harwell
was a skilled blacksmith and John
learned the trade with him. When
the war broke out he was detailed
to do smith work for the army.
While he was not in the army he
has always lived in Cartersville.
He has conducted his own little:
shop here for many years, direct
ing his attention largely to repair
ing firearms, locks, etc. He was a
skilled workmau and obliging in
his manner to his patrons.
At the last tabernacle meeting
he expressed a change of heart
and was soon after received in the
Methodist church, to the cause of
which and that of religion he
seemed devoted up to his death.
Two brothers and two sisters
survive him, J. T. and G. V. Har
well, Miss Florida Harwell and
Mrs, Annie Flynn, of Fcrt W’orth,
Tex. He was unmarried.
The funeral was conducted on
Saturday, Revs. G. W. Yarbrough
and A. w. Bealer, officiating.
A TEMPERANCE StKMON
To Be Preached by Rev. Alex W,
Bealer Sunday Nlcht.
Next Sunday night, at the Bap
tist church, the pastor, Rev. Alex
W. Bealer, will preach a temperance
sermon, his subject being ‘The
Bible or the Bottle.”
In the morning Mr. Bealer will
take for the subject of his sermon,
“The Future Life as Jesus Saw it.”
At the prayer meeting service
next week Mr. Bealer will give a
lecture on “The Mothers of the
Bible” a talk to the mothers of Car
tersville.
The public, especially strangers
in the city, are cordially invited to
attend these service^.

Injunction Filed Against Erection
of Bartow’s New Temple of J ustice-
PROCEEDINGS ALLEGED ILLEGAL
Commlssioners.it Is Claimed. Evad
ed Publicity of Their Action.
Good Enough They Say,
An injunction has been filed
against the building of the new
court house for Bartow county,
work for the foundation of w.hicn
is now well under way.
The petition lor injunction was
served on Fred Wagner, who has
the contract, whose home is in At
lanta, and the paper was presented
first to Judge j. H. Lumpkin, of
the Atlanta circuit, who refused to
hear it but remanded it to the
Cherokee circuit, where Judge Fiti
had rightful jurisdiction in the
premises. Judge Fite examinee
the petition last Friday, refused
the restraining order on the word
asked for and named December 51k
as the day on which he would heah
the edition on iis merits.
The petitioners named in thc
petition are: O. Corinth, W. P.
Whitworth, W. D. David-011, J. P.
Davidson, Blake Rutland, J. H.
Gaines, G. H Gilreatli, W. E. Gil
is-atli, J. C. Faris, M. I. Abetn .thy,
James M Hall, O. U. Glasgow, P
B. Wilson, W. P. Teenies, James
A. White, John P. Stegall, J L.
Irick, Thomas H. Baker.
The petition sets forth in effect
that, the commissioners publish, and
in the newspaper where the sheriff’s
advertising is done a notice to v< .11-
tractors asking for sealed propos
als for building aeouit house in
two ways, for foundation to the i- p
of the water tables, and also for en
tire building, payments to be made
in cash from time to time, reserv
ing out of estimate :o per cent,
until the work is completed. Wag
ner, to whom the contract was
given, submitted proposal for
foundation and one for the build
ing entire; he thereupon, made con
tract with commissioners to com
plete the foundation by Ist July,
1902, for $4,240. 90 per cent, to
be paid as work progresses; that
although this is the only contract
on the minutes, petitioners allege
they are informed that another for
court house complete for additional
sum of $40,000 has been made,and
purposely kept from minutes to
prevent petitioners and tax payers
seeing it. Wagner is engaged on
the foundation. Commissioners
didn’t post complete and minute
specifications. They were author
ized only to contract for building
complete. The notice published
did not embrace details sufficient
to enable the public to know the
extent and character of the work.
The notice did not specify separate
foundation contract; it was thus de
fective and misleading; it was not
sufficiently accurate as to terms and
times of payments.
There is no necessity, they say
for anew court house;the countv has
a good substantial building suffi
cient for transaction of business,
etc. The building of a court house
is against wishes of the people and
burdensome at a special time when
taxes are higher than ever in his
tory of state.
The contract for foundation, it
is alleged, was not let at public
outcry; there was no money avail
able in the treasury when the con
tract was let; the sum named in
contract will not complete building,
but will take $15,000 more to fin
ish, and the furnishing another
large sum. The contract
provide for building with money
in the treasury or with, taxes of
this year and next year, thus creat
ing a debt without sanction of pop
ular vote, as required bv the con
stitution. The whole scheme is
one to evade and violate the pro
vision requiring such popular vote
for such debt. Commissioners
abused their discretion in levying
a burdensome extra $5.00 tax
when the comity tax is already
$5 on the thousand.
Petitioners pray that contract be
declared null and void and Wag
ner be enjoined from executing and
performing said contract, and a
temporary restraining order be
passed and-collection of tax be en
joined.

REV DEPOT FDR
CAR f RSVILLE
N.C. & St- L. Will Build a New
Passenger Station-
WILL BE VERY HANDSOME
Plana Drawn For Building to Be
Located North of the
Freight Depot.
I lie plans for anew passenger
depot ior C irtersville have been
drawn by the architect of the
'Nashville, Chattanooga and St.
Louis Railraad, and it it now
seems a certainty that Cartersville
will have anew depot.
The building will be a hand
some structure with all the mod
ern conveniences of a passenger
station and will be located north
of the present freight depot.
It was proposed to build the
depot on the site now occupied by
the East and West depot, but at a
meeting of the city council held
last Thursday evening a resolution
was passed requesting the N. c. &
St. L. authorities to defer the
building of the new depot until a
location could be selected which
would not interfere with the ter
minal facilities of the East and
west railroad.
It would be more convenient for
the railroad and the public gener
ally, if the two railraads could
build a union station and theieby
save the inconvenience of trans
fers. This solution of the depot
question is very much desired by
people of Cartersville and it is
hoped that tlie two railroads can
get together on this line.
REFUND THE MONEY-
North Georgia Conference Wants
War Claim Paid Back.
Rome, Ga., November 23. —Im-
mediately upon the opening of the
fourth day’s session ot the North
Georgia conference Judge H. E.
W. Palmer’s resolution concerning
the Methodist war claim, and its
being refunded to the government,
was again taken up for discussion.
One of the liveliest debates ot the
conference was precipitated, in
which a number of stirring speech
es were made. Dr. W. W. Wads
worth offered a substitute resolu
tion, and an effort to table it was
lost. Judge Palmer’s resolution
is as follows.
1. We heartily indorse the action
of our bishop in pledging that
proper steps would be taken to have
the entire amount of the war claim
returned to the government upon
the conditions stated by them in
their letter.
2. That in our opinion the senate
of the United States has by affirm
tive action declared that the pas
sage of the said bill without
amendment was due to misleading
statements on the part of the rep
resentatives of our churA.
3. Inasmuch as only the general
conference of our church has au
thority to take final and binding
action in the premises, we hereby
memorialize the body, which is to
meet in Dallas, Tex., in May, 1902,
to promptly leturutothe govern
ment of the United States, for the
reasons stated in the said letter of
our bishops and said resolution of
the United States senate, the entire
amount of money paid by it on ac
count of said war claim.
4. That a certified copy of this
preamble and of these resolutions
be duly forwarded by the secretary
of this conference to the general
conference, which is to meet in
Dallas, Tex., in May, 1902.
