Pratt Cass Station, Ga MARCH 13, 1901 One of the objections advanced to the new court house site is that the limited grounds afford no hoss swapping accommodations. That in itself arrays a large and most powerful class against it at the very start, (rive us four acres and invite the gypsies to return. % And now the politicians are fig uring on selling the state road. Not satisfied with taxing every thing to the limit they now hope to finger the proceeds from the sale of the best property the state ever owned or ever will own. Oh, if we could only swap these poli ticians off for yallerdogs and then tax the dogs. This would be a grand old state to liye in to be sure. All sorts of suggestions are fly ing as to how to build that new court house, but none has yet sug gested a roof garden top. Hot air cushion chairs for w inter and electric fan bottom chairs for summer are among the possi bilities. Now if some ice cream fountains are provided our country friends will all hope the enterprise a great, grand, howling success. Sam Jones in his letter in Satur day’s Atlanta Journal says Car tersville has two newspapers, one weekly and the other weakly. There are many reasons whv a newspaper in Bartow county should exist under the latter name. As I hf. News does not show much indication of filling the latter bill, for it is printed solely for the good of the people, a fact that all un derstand and appreciate, its skirts can be safely as being clear of your uncle Sam’s said imputation. INFORMATION ABOUT HOMESTEADING IN THE COMANCHE COUNTRY . SOON TO BE SETTED. Editor News. Ihe Comanche Kiowa reserva tions lately ceded to the United States by the Comanche, Apaches and Kiowas will be opened to set tlement not later than August 6th, next. They consist of nearly three million acres of very fertile lands lying immediately east ot Okla homa proper. To be entitled to homestead in the reservation the applicant must be 21 years old or the head of a family, a citizen of the United States or have filed his declaration of intention to become such, must not own more than 160 acres of land, and subject to exceptions, must not have made a homestead entry. To ibitiate homestead the applicant may go on the land and settle or he may go to the land office ana file. If one settles on a piece of land on which another files the first in, point of time will hold the land. Five years residence will be re quired of the homesteader unless at the end of fourteen months he wishes to commute his entry, which he may do by paying cash for lands at $1.25 per dcre and get ting patent for land. After getting patent he can dispose of the land in any way he chooses, but until patent is obtained land cannot be sold. The country to be opened will be a fine field for young men THE COURT HOUSE LOCATION. At first thought the site selected for the new court house would 1 seem the only one in Cartersville for it. Being of tolerably fair size for a court house alone and having a close location to the railroads and business center of the town, carried its weight with the commis- I sion that made the selection as well Is with a great many of the people of the town. It is certainly a most attractive lot, a desirable piece of property. However, when it develops 48 hours after the selection was made that Bartow county was as badly in need of a strong jail as a supc 1 b court house the careful thinker, having in mind the greatest good to the greatest number, cannot but think that, possibly, a mistake has been made in its purchase. It is generally conceded that it is 100 small to accommodate a jail building, i rue, adjoining property can be had at a possible cost of SI,OOO, which will run the investment foi grounds up to $5,000, quite a neat sum, to say the least. I rue, the first investment of $4,000 has been made, and it might be said that it is too late to kick.” Thf. Nkws does not wish to register a ‘‘kick and in no sense will be termeJ a chronic kicker, but it does think that the mistake, if any has been made, can be rectified and the people of the county get what they should have, the handsomest public building and grounds in north Georgia, r not in the state. The lot purchased is a trifle over an acre in area, for which $4,000 is to be paid. The Harris property situated upon about the only de cently wide street in the town, close enough to the business communi ty and comprising four town acres, upon three streets which was of fered to the commission for $5,500 would give to the county ample grounds for the handsome building that is to be built, spacious grounds for a most lovely park and room left for a modern jail. The people of the neighborhood would not be alarmed at the building of the jail, for they are built these davs in a way that entirely overcomes all the objections that ht?ve heretofore existed. Besides a beautiful park would largely overbalance any objectionable features that might ex ist from the buildings in the locality. The grounds would afford a jailor’s residence also. There are many reasons why the four acres would be desirable. The people get more land for their money, the people will have more territory to “expand” if they ever desired to do so. It is of easy approach from every direction. It is an ideal loca tion and there is no rubbing that out. True, a few in the town may occasionally be slightly inconvenienced when they have business there, but they wouldn’t mind that for the good that the investment would be to the whole people. And too, the people will thus have a chance at a park they never had before and never will have in the future. Of course, all will want to know what is to become of the pur chase already made. As stated above and generally conceded the se lected site is a most desirable location for any building. It is only a question of a very short time before the Methodist people will erect a handsome new church building, it having baen stated that it will even cost as mnch as $25,000. Now these good people could not well af ford to put such a building upon the small lot they now own. We are sure that they would much prefer that they own the lot purchased for the new courl; house and put that elegant new building right in the middle of it, and plant out trees and set out grass over the \Vhole property. And what a magnificent appearance would the whole make! The church may not be able to purchase now, but we venture there are four men in the membership that would gladly take the lot off the hands of the coun,y and hold it for the church people until they get ready to build. These people are not exactly satisfied with the prospect of getting a jail near them, for which more land will have to be bought. The jail is coming and it is against all reason that it should not be built near the court house. Crossing railroads with desperate prisoners, especially when trains are passing, is not an in viting risk for the county sheriff or his deputies. The temptation for a desperate attempt is too great, and possibly a horrible death is too sickening to contemplate. Rut such will be the condition when the jail and court house are so far apart and on different sides of the rail road. to pass which dangerous crossings will have to be used. Mod ern jails, as above stated, are not the objectionable things they have been, and no property owner could reasonably object to one being near his residence. Steel cages several feet from the thick stone walls through which long narrow “windows,” high up, are cut, do away with the most objectionable features of the old style cross roads jails as now possessed by the county. There will be no escape in 20 minutes like the one a few nights ago. Another feature that would make this plan desirable upon the part of the whole people. The old court house property is too small for manufacturing purposes, while with the jail lot it would be of goodly proportion and for manufacturing purposes would be desira ble, and all along in its rear much more land could be had. Let the county dispose of both and let it go toward building such modern buildings as will surely be a pride to the county and its people. An elegant public building upon the small site selected‘will not, to any great extent, overcome the objection of the narrow streets that sur round it. They are certainly miserably narrow. So sum it all up under the plans suggested above the county would have ample grounds susceptible of the highest beautifying, the Meth odist church people, ditto, and the county would havfc on hand a most magnificent manufacturing site which should, by no means, be rushed upon a dull market, but rather be held for the good times that are surely coming. / And to cap it all, if The News remembers aright, the people of Bartow county unmistakably declared in a recent election that they desire good roads before the new court house, which all admit is sadly needed, is built. And do not a due regard and proper respect for the people of the county, out of town as well as in town, require us to get the best that can be had for the money that is to come out of their pockets ? And as the court house is to be built anyhow, would not the course above outlined be better and more satisfactory to the people of the wqole county ? • Let’s build for the future and not for the present, and for the country as well as for the town. to begin life's works, but 1 would not advise those who already have good positions in the states to re sign them to take chances in this new country, nor would 1 advise older men who are comfortably situated to leave the old homestead to begin lite anew in the reserva tion. It will not be necessary for those who expect to come to the opening to do so for some time yet as it ( has been completed that the coun try cannot be opened until the re the weekly news, cartersville, ga. survey is completed and the work of alloting lands to thq Indians has been finished.

REBELLION BREWING IN SOUTH AMERICA There Is Trouble Ahead For Three Republics. £IGNS ARE SIGNIFICANT Much Alarm In Brazil— Rebellion Is Openly Agitated In Argentina, Where a Prominent, Leader Is Ar rested—Chilian Cabinet Kesigns. Rio de Janeiro, March 11. —While it ts officially deuied that a monarchist plot has been discovered, there are many circumstances which show that the gov erument is guarding any attempt to overthrow it. A most significant action is the send ing of the cruiser Almirante Barroso to Santos. The warship will go ostensibly to relieve the cruiser Tamayo, it is be lieved, however, that the authorities are not fully assured of the sympathies erf the officers of the cruiser, and have therefore sent them away until all fear of an uprising has passed. Great pre cautions are being taken on the war vessels. A government decree just published proclaims the extinction of the plague, as 20 days have passed without any new cases having been found. Agitating Rebellion. Montevideo, March 11.-r-Much ex citement has been caused here by the arrest of General Ricardo Estevan. prominent in political and military af fairs of the republic. * This arrest is the result of the agitation foj; a rebellion that has been causing much concern to the authorities. It is declared that evi dence has been obtained connecting General Estevan directly with this agi tation. He was arrested by order of the president and is still held in custody. It is believed that other arrests will be made. Cabinet Crisis In Chili. Valparaiso, March 11. —Asa result of the discussions in the last session of cougress and the recent political revolu tion, the president has resigned. The retiring cabinet will be succeeded by a cabinet of Liberals. It is believed that Senor Resco’s nomination for the pres idency will be a severe blow to Don Pedro Montt. He is ambitious and pop ular and is a near relative of President Errasuriz. SEABOARD IS NOT SCOOPED i’resident Williams Denies the Story Current In New York. Atlanta, March 11.—President John Skelton Williams was asked today re-, gardiug the report published in a New York newspaper that the Seaboard Air Line system has been purchased by Au gust Belmont and the Rothschilds. He ridiculed the story and said: “The report that a controlling inter est in the Seaboard Air Line system has been purchased by parties allied to the Louisville and Nashville or any other system is an idle one, and without foundation. I regret that newspapers should be willing to frequently aud pe riodically give currency to such reports. I aud my immediate associates own a controlling interest in the Seaboard sys tem. My financial interest in it today is larger than it ever has been before. The condition of the system is stronger than ever, aud earnings are heavier than at any time in its past history. We are satisfied with the property, in tend to hold it aud operate it, and a controlling interest in the Seaboard Air Line system is not for sale to anybody at any price.” When the stomach is tired out it must have a rest, but we can’t live without food.
