‘ The Seaboard Air Line will be
running-Hnuns into Atlanta from
Birmingham in a year’s time,” said
First Vice President and General
Manager J. M. Barr, of the Sea
board, to a representative of The
Constitution, who called on him at
the Aragon yesterday afternoon.
Mr. Barr had just received ad
vices from his* representatives at
Birmingham? telling him that the
Seaboard had won the legal fight
for an entry into that city and he
was feeling very good over the
victory. W v
“Yes;” continued Mr. Barr, “we
intend to have our trams in opera
tion by that time. 'The work of
rebuilding the East and West and
ofconstructing the connecting lines
will be pushed as rapidly as possi
ble. . . „. ..
“The first work will be the con
struction of the link between Bir
mingham and Coal City. The
East and West is now in very good
condition, as it has been greatly
improved recently, but some of the
grades are entirely too steep for the
heavy trains that we will run over
the road and they will have to be
reduced.
“A surveying party is now in the
field between Rockmart and At
lanta, locating the line, and as soon
as this is done grading will be be
gun. As yet it has not been de
cided whether the line will run from
Rockmart, Cedartown, or some in
termediate point.
“We will have a good line into
Birmingham, Tt will, according to
our estimates, be only 9 miles
longer than the present route and
will have several advantages not
possessed by it.”
JVIAJ, THOMAS HERE.
Major J. W. president
of the Nashville, Chattanooga and
St. Louis, came down from Nash
ville yesterday morning for confer
ence with Vice President Barr.
From this it was thought that ar
rangements were being made to
give the Seaboard trackage rights
over the Western from Atlanta
to Cartersville, the eastern termi
nus of the East and West. When
questioned about this Vice Presi
dent Barr replied:
“No, Major Thomas and I dis
cussed other matters. The Sea
board will not use the tracks of
the Western and Atlantic, with the
exception of the 3 miles now used
by us between Howell and Atlanta.
We will build our own line into
the city before we begin the opera
tion of trains.”
NEW APPOINTMENTS.
Circulars were received in At
lanta yesterday announcing the ap
pointment of Charles R. Capps and
C. B. . Ryan as general freight
agent and general passenger agent,
respectively, for the East and W T est.
The circular was issued by the
traffic department of the East and
West, bears a Portsmouth date of
July 1, and is signed by Traffic
Manager W. H. Pleasants and ap
proved by First Vice President
aud General Manager J. M. Barr.
The issuance of this circular
sho ws that the Seaboard Air ' Line
"’ill in the future operate the East
and West. It was thought in some
quarters that the Seaboard would
n °t undertake the management un
hl the completion of the connect
ing links between Atlanta and Bir
mingham.
/ The circular issued from Ports
mouth says that Messrs. Capps and
% a n are appointed vice Bart Cow
j n > transferred. Mr. Cowden was
-ortnerly general freight and pas
!f n § er agent with headquarters at
arterstille. It is understood that
ae will practically retain his pre
-sent Position, but will report to the
S e neral officers of the Seaboard. It
3s . fought that his title will be di-
freight and passenger agent.

. THE BOND ELECTION.
Lacked About One Thousand Vote
for Bonds.
The election held last Thursday
to decide whether the county
should issue bonds to complete the
payments on the new court house
passed off gently and created little
interest. The vote for bonds lack
ed about one thousand votes of
reserving the necessary two-thirds
of the registration. This will
necessitate a direct tax to pay for
the court house, and the levy will
probably be assessed at the next
meeting of the county board.
The vote by districts for and
against bonds is as follows:
DISTRICT FOR AGAINST
Cartersville 372 ...28
Adairsvile 156
Pine Log 126 6
Cassviiie, . 74 26
Kingston 88 13
Euharlee .... 112

Sixth 25 39
Stilesboro 55 . . . 1
Iron Hill .41
Wolf Pen 2 30
Stamp Creek 26 3
Totals 1213 159.
The number of votes for bonds
necessary to carry the election un
der the law would have been about
twenty-two hundred.
Latest Fashion Notes-
FOR SEASHORE OR YACHTING.
All the costumes intended for sea
side and yachting wear bear some
distinctively nautical device, from
the conventional sailor dress and
reefer, -with “buzzard” on sleeves
and anchors on collar and shield, to
the more elaborate frocks which fol
low the fancy tailor-made models. In
JL . /
' yin
the accompanying illustration is
shown a very pretty type of these
frocks, not too severe nor over orna
iuented. The material is dark blue
mohair, of a very coarse grain. The
gored skirt is very close fitting from
belt to knee, and from there to the
edge very flaring, all seams being fin
ished with several rows of stitching
done with Corticelli silk in self color.
The border is of striped taffeta, china
blue and white, cut on the bias, and
finished with three row's of velvet
ribbon, one on either edge, and one
through the middle. The same trim
ming borders the collarless Eton, fin
ishing the bloused front and being
prolonged to form little tabs below
the belt in a vest effect, and at the
shoulders to give the required breadth
At either side of this trimming on
the front are embroidered anchors,
and two groups of little stars worked
with white Coticelli EE embroidery
silk.

SUPERIOR COURT
OPENED MONDAY.
A Light Business and a Short
Session.
NO CIVIL BUSINESS TAKEN UP-
Judge’s Charge Touches on Court
House Mafter— Plan for Meeting
the Expenditure Suggested.
The July term of Bartow super
ior court opened last Monday, his
honor, Judge A. W. Fite, presid
ing.
The grand jury is composed of
the following citizens: M. C.
Nelson, Ed R. Morton, D. M. Taff,
E. NJ. Upshaw’. Thos. H. Pittardj
Will E. Lee, V. B. McGinnis, J. P.
Alexander, Jeff J. Boston, J. W.

Stephens, John F. Kay,. TANARUS, C.
Crenshaw’, Geo. W. Covington,
Rich H. Dodd, Jas. R. Gaines, W.
M. Roberts, F. R. Walker.
Judge Fite announced that there
would be only one week of court.
There will be no civil cases taken
up and the business will be con
fined to the criminal docket and
the work of the grand jury.
The judge’s charge was a wise
and strong one. He referred to
the defectiveness of the law requir
ing justices of the peace to. return
defaulters; much of their work was
a mere raking over of the tax
digest of a previous year, and
inadvertently names w r ere confused,
causing erroneous issues of fi fas
for which the receiver or collector
were unjustly blamed. The re
quired votes for bonds had not
been obtained, although the vote
stood 10 to 1 for bonds. The debt
for the court house would have to
be met this fall. The property
valuation would be about $3,500,-
000. The amount raised for the
court house last year w r as $18,172.-
04, less commission of about 4 per
cent, leaving about $17,500, and
about $2,000 of this went to the
architects. The amount yet to be
raised wms about $30,000. The
contract for the court house was
$42,475, and some minor changes
would bring this up about SSOO
more. It w’ould take an assess
ment of about $9 50 on the thous
and to raise this amount. The
state tax was about $5.25 on the
thousand, outside of the court
bouse it would require about $4.50
for county purposes. This would
make the whole state and county
tax about $19.25 on the thousand.
A tax for county purposes was
not obliged to be levied, but could
be put off. Let a tax of about $1.50
on the thousand be levied for
county purposes; thus $3.00 would
De taken off, and that would leave
the tax for this year about $16.25.
He thought the grand jury ought
to recommend that something like
that be done. Then our tax next
year could be made to be only
about $12.50 on the thousand and
so on for the next, and divide the
burden of the paymept for about
three years. He asked the jury to
investigate this matter as the most
important one they would have to
consider.
Throwing rocks in the road to
obstruct vehicles was an indictable
offense and any such acts should
be looked into.
The justices of the peace dockets
should be kept in ink, the judge
thought, and all dockets should be
produced for examination on the
first day of court. The judge
talked on the liquor question and
said the local option law had been
as effectually enforced as any lavr
we ever had. If he had his way
he would abolish every bar room
in Georgia and he believed ulti
mately the issue would be alto
gether between local option and
dispensaries.
He thought the jury should
recommend that a law be passed
that a demand for a bill of indict
ment should not be allowable in
cases irf city court.

During the thunder shower last
Wednesday Capt. John Postell
Henry Lariham and several other,
took refuge from the rain under a
shed at the Blue Ridge Ochre
Mill, admiring the rain and little
thinking of the severe shock which
came to them later.
They had not been in this posi

struck a post at the corner of the
shed knocking Capt. Postell and
Mr. Lanham senseless and severely
shocking the others.
They soon recovered and were
brought to their homes in town
jvhere they received prompt medi
cal attention. Capt. Postell has
recovered sufficiently to be able to
sit up about the house but Mr.
Lanham’s condition is still quite
serious and fears are expressed for
his recovery.

GOOD FENCING CHEAP,
Ready Bulit. Woven Wire Fences
are Winning Their Way on Merit.
Good, tight, durable fencing can
now be put up on every boundary of
a farm or plantation so cheaply that
there is no excuse for broken down
fences and costly neglect that costs
in injury to growing crops than
would pay for new fencing. The fac
tories are turning put such immense
quantities of the steel wire fencing
known as the American Field ami
Hog Fence, that the price has be
come wonderfully low, considering
the fact that the best Bessemer steel
is used and highest grade galvanizing.
The fencing comes from the factory
in rolls of forty rods and less and the
setting of posts is the chief labor in
volved in modern fence building.
The American fence stands all
kinds of strains, heat and cold, bulls
and boys. It is the fence that fences
and the fence of real economy, It is
sold in all parts of the country at the
general stores. Everybody interest
ed in the fencing problem should put
up a section of American fencing and
see how it stands in competition with
fences that are built with a great deal
of hard labor and at greater expense.
In Memory of Mrs- House-
This is such a beautiful world to
live in, but, oh ! such a sad one when
we are called upon to bid farewell to
our loved ones who are passing over
the dark river of Death into a much
brighter and fairer world than this.
Such was our sadness and grief when
the sad news reached us that Mrs.
Mattie House was dead. It was so
hard to give her up, but God knows
best. He called her home when he
had need for her. She was about 43
years old and was always well, hardly
knowing what sickness was until the
29th of June, when she was stricken
down, never to leave her bed again
until the icy hand of Death should
fall upon her brow. She suffered
much during her short illness, but
never murmured, and on the 7th of
July, at 12:30 o’clock in the morning,
her spirit took its flight. She united
herself with the Baptist church at
Ac worth when she was sixteen years
old and lived up to its teachings until
her death, She expressed herself as
being prepared to go and asked those
about her to be prepared when the
summons .iiuu.u come to vhein.

FROM SUGAR 1111,1.
The following, which was composed
and is being sung by the county con
victs, has been handed Judge Fite by
a friend. The judge may he “un
wept,” but he is not “unsung:”
That old Judge Fite is a mighty mean
man,
He puts us in the gang whenever he
can,
He brings us to taw by enforcing the
law,
And won’t let us have our way, night
or day.
It is very cruel for me and my pard,
To have to dig ore so long and hard,
And then, we would have been out ’o
sight,
If it had not been for old Judge Fite.
He is such a pest he wont let us rest,
And every time we are up for crime,
He charges the jury just like fury,
And then, sends us back to the pen.
From time to time we have committed
crime,
And we still delight in abusing Fite,
For this is our only absolution
From his mean and cruel persecution.
But for him we would be in the swim,
And with a hop we would be on top,
And then we would surely have our
way,
All the time—every night and every
day.
A MEMORY.
As the triumphs of life and the cares
of the day
At the coming of evening are all laid
away,
I know in my sleep I can hear the
soft flow
Of waters that charmed in the dear
long ago.
And back through the past ill mem
. ory I roam,
Until I was standing again in child
hood’s sweet home;
When the touch of a hand and the
thrill of a kiss
Comes hack to me always in the mo
ment of bliss,
How I nestle again in her loving em
brace
And heaven comes down in my sweet
mother's face.
In slumber I hear her in tenderest
strains,
Like sunshine that follows the soft
April rains.
I smile as I sleep while the stars in
their dome
junking? their on this
beautiful home.*
Oh! years, how you vanish like
leaves on the blast
And roses bloom sweetest in youth's
happy past.
But as I am leaving, wherever I will.
The face of my mother, it lives with
me still.
And when all is over I know I shall
rest
With her close beside me, in the homo
of the blest.
