Governor Davis, of Arkansas,
don’t believe in letting women go
to the penitentiary, to be thrown
with the worst of men criminals,
and has recently pardoned four who
were sentenced, and says he will
continue to pardon them unless ar
rangements are made by which they
can be kept separate from men.
South Carolina republicans are
kicking up mightily about the
president’s appointment of George
Koester, a young gold democrat,
Collector of Internal Revenue for
the district of South Carolina.
They seem to think the act signi
fies that the president is still nurs
ing McLaurinism.
Col. James R.* Gray has been
made editor in chief and general
manager of the Atlanta Journal.
Col. Gray is a Bartow county boy
who has won his way up bv pluck
and native trdent to a place in the
front rank as a lawyer, and now
that he will turn his attention to
journalism there is no reason to
doubt his success. Bartow county
boys usually have the elements of
success in their make up.
The street fairs, which last year
were attractions in a number of
Georgia’s smaller cities, are in dis
favor, those who have-tried them
having gotten quite enough of
them. V. Ju low order of “mid
way” performances, to say the
least, are quite demoralizing, and
we have wondered how the better
element tolerated their presence
without a great kick.
The Nashville American has the
following reference to Hon. H. G.
Turner’s decision not to run for
governor: “Hon. Henry G. Tur
ner announces that he will not be
a candidate for governor of Geor
gia. Mr. Turner is one of the
south’s strong men. When Crisp
and Turner were in congress the
Georgia delegation took infinitely
higher rank than it has ever done
since. During the last few years
the tendency in she south has been
to cheapen the quality of its pub
lic men.”
WHAT A WOMAN DID.
A woman farmer in Clarke
county, Alabama, has demonstra
ted this year what can be done by
a woman on a farm, and she sets
an example for all farmers. She
writes of her year’s wofk to
Che Gr6ve Hill Democrfct. Among
other things she sayS:
“This yifcr, you know, has be*n
co ydIT for a tfcsf bn oar Urtn. bat
in spttfof every drawback t have
made about 13 bales of cotton,
barrels of syrup, 400 bushels fine
potatoes, peanuts by the vafeu
full; and other things too numer
ous to mention. The potatoes were
made on less than an acre of land,
the syrup— lßo gallons—op half
an acre, a quarter of an acre net
tig sl7 worth of syrup.”
This woman’s triumph as a tiller
of the soil should be an example
for the men and should silence the
croakers among them and buoy
those possessed ot purpose to still
greater efforts. The noblest of all
callings should not have in its
ranks “I ean’ts” in this day of
large possibilities.
CONGRESSMEN’B PAY.
The talk of a raise of congress
sional salaries reminds oue of the
terrific row that was started by the
“salary grab’’ bill of 1876, It only
proposed to raise the figure froth
$5,000 to $7,500, and applied to
the congress then in session. The
clamor of opposition, objurgation
and denunciation raised against
the measure was something Unpre
cedented. Many of the most emi
nent members voting for the bill
ost their seats: scores of them who
tad drawn part or the whole of the
! ; 2,5°0 year’s salary hastened ‘ on
1 uller .consideration” to cover t.ie
Uoney back into the treasury. Ben
Sutler, the author of the bill, re
named fciie amount he had received
of‘{he aiid introduced a
bill to rifeil the hew shlahy act.
r ft miry be dotibfed
larger bompensathiu Will bring a
better class of men into congress.
We doubt if it would have that
effect. The man who would sit in
either hbnse “for the salary” would
be r.o improvement bn such as we
have; and he who sought the office
for the salary would generally get
the better of the truly fit, honest,
modest man, as he does now. No
legislative chamber in the world
contains a higher average of abil
ity than the British commons, and
the members serve without com
pensation. Put our congress on
the same footing—repeal the salary
provision—and we believe the
quality of the membership would
at once greatly improve.
But since that is impossible, we
would keep the compensation
where it is. Many of the members
get more than they ever before
earned, or ever will after they go
! out. The average value of the
men we send is sure, in our opin
ion, not above the amount now
fixed, rather below it.
The country will not patiently
stand any increase. If a majority
thinks otherwise and tries the ex
periment of doubling the stipend,
they will very promptly be con
vinced that the people believe they
are rather overpaid already.
Higher salary would directly
encourage larger campaign expen
ditures and lead to other and even
more vicious extravagance in leg
islation. The senate now spends
for luxuries and “comforts” about
si,ooo per capita per year, besides
the persouel secretary grab of $i ,500
and the house becomes more pro
fuse in its squandering every suc
ceeding session. Our alleged re
publican simplicity has become a
by-word.—Chattanooga Times.
Judge Fite Squarely in the Race.
Atlanta Journal,
From present indications Con
gressman Maddox will have a tussle
for his seat in congress at the next
election and it will be given lntn
by Judge A. W, Fite,” said a well
known citizen of Cartersville in
the arcade last night.
“Nearly every issue of the pa
pers in our and adjoining counties
have some notice of Judge Fite’s
candidacy and most of them are
favorable to him. Every mail he
receives brings him assurances of
support and he is debating the
question seriously.
“Judge Fite has a great many
friends throughot the district and
he could count on a solid vote from
Bartow and a very strong following
from the other counties in his ju
dicial circuit.
“He has been in politics long
enough to know that he would
have a strong opponent in Judge
M.addpx, but he is a good fighter
and if he decides to enter the race
there will be a lively campaign in
the old seventh.”

Baltimore, Dec. 16—Rear Adi

gresmeaval fueoatigataonf Mr- Ray
hot said:
“I doubt whether a proceeding
of this sort is the proper one. It
generally assumes a political as

Opinion that the matter should be
prosecuted in the courts There
are plenty of ways in which this
can be done and this week we will
begin to consult and determine up
on our course of action.”
Among the telegrams Mr. Ray

inquiry was one from a gentleman
in another state, who asked that
his identity be kept secret with an
offer of SIO,OOO for the necessary
expenses attending a further prose

declined.

You’ll have a cold this winter.
Maybe you have one now. Your
children will suffer too. For croup,
coughs, bronchitis, grip and other
winter complaints One Minute
Cough Cure never fails. Acts,

the taste and perfectly harmless.

FORD.
For the past week the weather
has been very disagreeable. Work
of every description was checked
to a large extent and at present all
indications point heavily towards
more unsettled weather of some
kind.
The health of this vicinity at
present is fairly good. Scarlet
fever has been the most prevalent
for the past three months but its
presence has subsided down to a
few cases which are pronounced
by the attending physician to not
be serious in anywise,
Messrs. Worthington and Bell,
of Fairview, have outrivaled their
contemporaries in the hunt this
season. Their diary up to date
credits them with 61 opossums, 85
rabbits and 5 turkeys. Those who
know them best say the former is
growling and the latter gobbling.

Rev. J. M. Tumlin,of the Kings

mon at Oak Grove last Sunday.
He is anew brother in this section
and we hope for him that liis work
and labor in this the new field may
be crowned with the very best of
consequences during nis sojourn
with us.
The tax gatherers were at this
placelast week buf did not take away
any large amount of money We
noticed that not many had paid on
account, we supposed, of the litiga
tion now pending over the court
house question.
Some preparations are beginning
to be made for Christmas in this
section, such as presents and tur
keys.
We learn that some of the col
ored farmers in the vicinity of
Ligon have been recently caught
up by the law for making the
shortage in their cotton crop good
from their neighbor’s eoHon pens.
Miss Lula Owens, who has been
spending quite a while with friends
and relatives at Rome and Adairs
ville, will be home now in a few
days.
It is being rumored in this sec
tion that there is a regular organ
ized band of thieves now plying
the road leading from Cartersville
to Rome and many are of the
opinion that the recent stealing in
the neighborhood of Ligon was ac
complished through the above
channel, Their object, as stated,
is to steal Cverytning that can be
transported without discovery. If
Sbch a baud exists it will be well
for every one to keep a sharp look
out.
We had a terrible tain here last
Saturday morfijng.
Stonewall York of Taylorsville,
recently moved into our midst.
Mr: Datfld Cregg, of Lin wood,
arrived here last Week and will
farm on tfifc pr&fiiSes of Mr. R. H.
Dodd’s place next year.
The coldest day of tfils season
arrived in oh \i& last Sunday morn
ing. After so long a laps* of
balmy wfcatfher It Was quite hard
for us to accept but nevertheless

The farthers of this section who
Were so situated to hold their cot

look;
Many fine porkeri hav* been
killed In this community this
season, many of them weighing
over 300 pounds. From what we
ciu leftfn the bu!k of our farmers
will not depend on western pack
ing houses for their supply of meat
next year.
The legislators of this state will
have to favor the opossum with a
better law. If they don’t his race
will soon be extinct. It’s marvel
ous to know how many of them
are being caught in this and sur
rounding vicinities and we are
told they are fatter than usual.
