DEC. 19, 1901. 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.” Sthlfcy Will £0 to the Col/ii- Baltimore, Dec. 16—Rear Adi ?ifal W. S. Schley has notified ttornev General Raynor that he U ready to tkhe any aetton with reference to hi* case that Mr. Ray nbf mly advise. • Mr; Raynor ex j&cta to meet the admiral irt Wssh rdo today or tomorrow. When tiled whether he favored * con gresmeaval fueoatigataonf Mr- Ray hot said: “I doubt whether a proceeding of this sort is the proper one. It generally assumes a political as pect. At this time I am of the 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 nor has received since the publica tion of the findings of the court of 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 cution of the case. The offer was declined. , The Children*. Friend. 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, promptly. It is very pleasant to the taste and perfectly harmless. C. B. George, Winchester. Kv., writes “Our little girl was attacked with croup late one night and Was so hoarse she could hardly We gave bor a few doses of One Mini:?-. Cure. It relieved her immediately and she went to - icep. When she awoke nek* morning she had no signs of ..qarseness or croup. Throughout : TPffINTY. 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. Otto Reynolds and Miss Allie Mae Arnold, of Rome, weie mar ried last Thursday, Squire Wil liams, of the Euharlee district, offi ciating. Rev. J. M. Tumlin,of the Kings ton circuit, preached his first ser 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 #e had to shivfct' ind take It. The farthers of this section who Were so situated to hold their cot ton Mre well pleased with the out : 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. CASSVILLE.
