CARTERSYILLE, GA., THURSDAY, DECEMBER 19, 1901. 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. T. G, M. Montgomery, foreman; Cliver H.

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.” To Get Kid of Troublesome Com.

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.
