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^. / * "ifi J QUKtS^WMREM.I EtSUWIS. LeIT M Best Couah Syrup. Tastes Good. Use fgj Pr? In time.

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. H. E. W. Palmpr. John B. Robins. W. P. Lovejoy.
