4 SEED THAT IS
LONG STANDING
Grand Juries In the Past Give Ex
pression About New Court House
[Under this head the News and
Courant will publish from week to
week what the grand juries for
years back have had to say re
garding the need of anew court
house for Bartow county. On the
juries were prominent citizens,
whose names are familiar as men
of public spirit and superior in
telligence. Some of them have
gone from life’s scene of action,
but their names live in the mem
ory of their people.]
From presentments Grand Jury July
term, 1900,
The question of building anew
court house has had the serious
consideration of this body and has
been considered by former grand
juries, yet nothing has been done
towards remedying the evils and
inconveniences suffered by the
courts, the tax payers and litigants.
When the present court house was
erected, more than twenty years
ago, the business of the railroads
was small compared with the pres
ent volume of business on the W.
&A. railroad. Comparatively few
trains were run. Since then the
E. & W. railroad has been con
structed and the business of the
two roads necessitates a switch
engine which is in use at all times
ot the day. These causes have
rendered the psesent location en
tirely unsuitable. The business of
the court is retarded almost hourly,
thus daily causing much loss of
time and consequently a loss of
money. To continue the use of
the present court house any longer
than can be avoided is unquestion
ably bad business policy. It is
estimated that the actual loss by
delay from the railroads each day
is not less than one hour, which is
equal to sl3 per day and as the
superior court alone holds at least
fifty days in each year this at sl3
per day, makes $650 clear loss to
the county by this court, to say
nothing of the time lost by the city
court, of which we have made no
estimate. We not only lose much
valuable time, but it is often worse
than lost, for the reason that the
business that is done is sometimes
unsatisfactorily and inaccurately
transacted. The noise and con
fusion created by the passing trains
may cause the jurors to miss many
words of the witnesses, and thhs
may affect the property or the lib
erty, or may be the life of the citi
zen. Besides this, we do not re
gard this building as now con
structed suitable for a court house.
A building that is the property of
every citizen of this grand old
county should be made modern in
its construction and its arrange
ments convenient and comfortable
for the citizens. Let us keep pace
with the times. The counties west
and north of us have outstripped
us in the matter Qf public buildings.
We submit it. are they more able
to do this than we? or are they
more intelligent and progressive?
We recognize the necessity, and
we emphasize the word “neces
sity,” of building anew court
house on a more eligible site in the
city of Cartersville, and in our
opinton the time has arrived when
this work should be begun and we
now recommend that the county
commissioners levy and collect,
in addition to the other taxes, for
the year 1890, a special tax of 25
cents on the one hundred dollars
to be appropriated as follows:
First, the purchase of a suitable
site for anew court house for Bar
tow county.
Second, the securing of suitable
plans and specifications of a build
ing to cost not less than $25,000.
Third, The balance of the fund
so raised to be expended in carry
ing on the building as far as can
be done with the money on hand.
This amount, we believe, will
get the building as far advanced as
it will be carried this year, and the
grand jnry for the January term of
1891 will then make additional ap
propriations and tax levies for the
further prosecution of the work.
By these means we can secure the
desired end without its becoming
burdensome to the people. We
further recommend the appoint
ment and appoint the following
named citizens, to-wit: T. J. Jolly,
Dr. S. N. Mayson, Thomas C.
Moore. Edward E. Freeman. James
H. Gilreath as a special commit
tee to co-operate with the county
commissioners in carrying out as
sreedily as possible the objects of
hese recommendations and direc-
tions, the said commissioners and
committee to have full power in
the premises to promote and Carry
on to completion and to make such
contracts for the construction of
the building as they can legally
make. These recommendations
and directions are made by this
body as we believe in the con
scientious discharge of a public
duty, believing that our citizens
realize the necessity therefor, and
that it is for the greatest good and
that it will receive the hearty ap
proval of all our thinking people.
We further recommend that the
county commissioners and the spe
cial committee hereinbefore men
tioned proceed to dispose of the
present court house and lot as soon
as they can reasonably do so at a
fair price, the proceeds of that sale
to be applied to the building ot the
new court house, possession and
use of court house to be retained
until the new court house is com
pleted, and ieady for use. We levy
for the year 1900 for the present
expenses of the county 40 cents on
the hundred dollars in addition to
the special tax for building anew
court honse.

SUCCESSFUL ENTERPRISES.
TwoLaGranse Institutions Run by
Former Cartersville People.
The LaGrange Graphic last
week got out a markedly creditable
trade edition. In its columns we
find notice of two of that city’s in
stitutions run by people formerly
residing in this city and who have
relatives and friends here who will
be gratified at knowing of their
success.
The Graphic speaks thus of The
LaGrange Telephone Exchange:
The LaGrange Telephone Ex
change began its career in 1895
with 45 subscribers, today it has
145. In addition to LaGrange
service, the system also affords
connection with Mountville, Odessa
and Greenville. The Exchange
office is located in the handsome
Milam residence on Greenville
street, where eyidences of all the
most modern appliances, materials
and arrangements are in order.
The LaGrange Telephone Ex
change is all home money, having
been founded in 1895 by W. W.
Milam (deceased in 1899) and our
people should bear well in mind
that in patronizing this institution
they are strengthening, developing
and upbuilding a home industry.
The liberal patronage thus far en
joyed, has, in a great measure, been
brought about through the kind
words of its patrons, coupled with
the courtesy of the working force
and the untiring efforts of the man
agement to extend the system and
please iis patrons. Mr. W. R.
Milam succeeded to the manage
ment of the plant in question upon
the demise of his lamented father.
Being yet in the morning walk of
life; progressive and public spirit
ed, he is happily fitted for the
management of such a public in
stitution. Mr. Milam has many
warm friends to his credit, and is
pleasant to associate and transact
business with.
The Graphic thus speaks Mr. R.
W. Milam and his business:
“Mr. R. M. Milam, who has ac
quired the very justifiabledignity of
being the leading liveryman of La-
Grange in the few short years that
has intervened since 1892, was
born and reared at Cartersville,
Ga., and has resided in LaGrange
for the past ten years—having
founded his livery business in 1892.
These magnificent livery, sale and
feed stables are on North Ridley
avenue. The main building is
especially adaptable to its purposes,
and has floor dimensions of 35x215
feet, with two floors to the rear,
which comprises 20 stalls, and
gives a hurdle capacity of 100 head
of mules or horses. In addition
to a liberally patronized livery
business, Mr. Milam is a heavy
dealer in mules and horses, often
making heavy car load purchases
in Atlanta, Tennessee and Ken
tucky.
“Possibly Mr. Milam’s greatest
pride and hobby is that of farming,
he owning two separate farms of
30 and 160 acres eg’ch, well housedi
stocked and in good st&te of culti
vation, wrihin a.few miles of La-
Grange. .He believes'in the science
of improved, modern farming, and
his time is well occupied in the
diversities, which also includes
that of being special agent in this
section for the Deering mowers,
binders, Hoosier grain drills and
corn planters, Osborn disc and peg
harrows, buggies,harness and farm
ing implements generally.
“Personally, Mr. Milam is a con
scientious, considerate and appre
ciative gentleman. While cher
ishing the dear memories of his
old home place—Cartersville—he
is much elated over having chosen
this city for his home. He came
here in humble circumstances,
and taking his own experience
and success as an example, he so
expressed himself to a Graphic
man, as believing that a young
man’s welfare—one who is sincere,
meritorious and of true metal will
receive warmer encouragement in
LaGrange than anywhere on earth.
Mr. Milam is a Presbyterian.”

OLD SERIES —21 ST YEAR
THE NEW PRESIDENT.
Bouauet for M rs.Granger.the Head
, of Georgia Federation.
HI
Southern Woman.
The following article by Isma
Dooly in the Constitution concern
ing our new president will give
pleasure to Georgia club women.
Since Mrs. Granger’s entrance
into club life her ability and ear
nestness have been proven beyond
peradventure, to the club women,
by the successful achievements of
many difficult tasks in the office of
corresponding secretary and chair
man of programme.
That added to this fine execu
tive ability, Mrs. Granger has also
the rare gift of impressing a stran
ger with her strength and forceful
uess, which is a cause of congrat
ulation for all federated women.
Miss Dooly says, in part:
Mrs. A. O. Granger, the newly
elected president of the State Fed
eration of Women’s Clubs, spent
yesterday in the city and presided
for the first time over the State Ex
ecutive Board of the Federation.
She was hostess also at a brilliant
luncheon party given in honor of
Dr. William H. Tolman, of the So
cial Service League, and a guest of
honor at the dinner party given by
Mr. and Mrs. W. P. Pattillo last
night.
As Mrs. Granger is leader of the
largest organization of women in
the state, and one which each day
becomes a more significant factor
in all that stands for the state’s de
velopment aud prosperity, a great
deal of interest centers in her as
one of the representative women
of the commonwealth.
Although born in the north, she
has resided in the south for a num
ber of years, and is a woman
whose broad mind and altruistic
spirit knows no sectional lines.
She thinks and works from the
standpoint of the American wo
man in the interest of the women
around her —for their advance
ment, for their betterment.
She is brilliant in conversation,
and forceful in her expression in
assemblies before whom she is
called upon to speak in her official
position. In fact, Mrs. Granger
impresses even the casual observer,
that she has many, if not all, the
attributes that are necessary in the
woman leader, and to see her and
talk with her is convincing evi
dence that she is eminently quali
fied to fulfill the duties of the office
with which the Georgia women
have wished to honor her.
Although the work of organiza
tion in the State Federation has
now been completed by the able
women, Mrs. Granger’s predeces
sors and the work of the Georgia
club women has become so system
atized that it may seem the duties
of leadership are comparatively
easy, such is not the case.
Queries and Answers
“ Why,” asks the Hartford
Courant, Senator Jo Hawley’s
newspaper, “don’t Crumpacker,
Moociy, Dick of Ohio and the rest
of them employ their surplus ener
gy in reforming the representation
in republican national conventions
by basing it on the number of
votes cast in the several states for
the republican ticket at the last
previous general election? That
would be good and useful work. It
would abate nuisances and scan
dals. The party and the country
would benefit by it.”
Why don’t they? Because they
would lose some party trading
stock, for one reason.
Another reason is that to reform
the rotten southern delegatious in
republican national conventions
would be to admit that the party
has no real standing in the south
and don’t deserve any.
Attractive Women.
All women sensibly desire to be
attractive. Beauty is the stamp of
health because it is the outward
manifestation of inner purity. A
healthy woman is always attract
ive, bright and happy. When ev
ery drop of blood in the veins is
pure a beauteous flush is on the
cheek. But when the blood is im
pure, moroseness, bad temper and
a sallow complexion tells the tale
of sickness, all too plainly. And
women today know there is no
beauty without health. Wine of
Cardui crowns women with beauty
and attractiveness by mak : ag
strong and healthy those ifgMi
which make her a woman. Try
