THE OOURANT-AMERICAN.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JANUARY 22. 1891.
THE FARMERS’ ALLIANCE.
•
Prolmble Legislation (n Kansas Op
posed by Wall Street.
Even ’.Vail street is now casting
an eye toward Kansas, and the ac
tion of the Topeka legislature upon
several of the measures that have
the endorsement of the farmers’
alliance will be closely watched by
some financial operators in New
York, The legislation that may be
enacted in Kansas will give a sure
indication of the policy to be adop
ted in other states that are under
the control of the farmers’ alliance.
The three measures of the alli
ance that raise the most apprehen
sion are those for the reduction of
the legal rate of interest, for the
state regulation of railroad freight
tariffs and fares, and for
the extension of the stay law to a
period of two years. The first of
these measures, which provides the
penalty of forfeiture for its viola
tion, will meet with the opposition
of eastern investors and local bank
ers; the second of theua will be con
fronted with the power of all the
railroad corporations operating in
the state, and the third will be
withstood by all holders of farm
mortgages. Many millions of dol
lars’ worth of property in Kansas
would be affected by the passage of
these measures at ithe demand of
the farmers’alliance. The money
ed interests are represented by
agents in the lobby of the legisla
ture and those of the alliance repre
sentatives who are not fully trusted
are kept under the guardianship of
farmers who have volunteered their
services as watchers.
The legislature will also act upon
measures requiring the board of
railroad commissioners to be elec
ted by a direct wote of the people,
prohibiting the alien ownership of
land in ihe state, and amending the
redemption law so that mortgagors
shall have three years to redeem
lands sold under foreclosure. Bills
have likewise been prepared in
favor of the state publication of
school text books, in favor of a
general reduction of the salaries of
state and judicial officers, in favor
of the Australian system of voting,
and forbidding the employment of
Pinkerton detectives by corpora
tions.
The •*%’ power that can prevent
the enactment of all the measures
here sp®'ken of is that of the repub
lican majority in the state senate.
The alliance can carry them
through 4)he ! house by an overwhel
ming wte, but there Is only one
alliance member of the eenaifce. It
may tbewdfore be taken for granted
that there wiill be no revolutionary
legislation (that can disturb "Wall
street at (this-session of the 'Dqpeka
legislature.
In prosffiOftthe statement that the
leadership of Kansas will he fallow
ed by the alliance forces in <ther
states is ISne fact that within the
past few days bills akin to those of
the Kansas programme have ’been
introduced In the legislature otfthe
state of Nebraska, including hills
for the regut ation of rates of inter
est and for the reduction <ef rail
road charges, and for preventing
negotiations in promissory ndtes,
and for the state publication of
school books.
To Establish a Normal School.
An effort is feeing made to estab
lish a normal school for the counties
in this section, six in all. The coun
ties that will probably be interested
are Bartow, Colafe. Floyd, Polk, Paul
ding and Cherokee. Only about
two lecturers wild be employed, the
other teachers to fee ot home mate
rial, who will draw 7 no pay for their
services. The school teachers of
this county should enter heartily
into this project, for It will be a mu
tual concern. Prof. J. S. Stewart,
principal of the Marietta Female
school, is the prime mover of the
project, and any one desiring infor
mation can doubtless .obtain it from
him.
Natural Gas Blows up a Building.
Finplay, 0., Jan. 21.—Shortly
after 2 o’clock this afternoon the
Hotel Marvin was blow n up by an
explosion of natural gas, and tw'o
persons w r ere killed and a dozen
wounded. Mr. Marvin and a
plumber had been searching all the
morning for a leak. About 2
o’clock a girl sweeping a floor step
ped on a match which ignited. Im
mediately there was an explosion
which wrecked the building and
shook the entire town. Many peo
ple were buried in the ruins, but
only two—Ella Johnson and Kate
Rooney—w'ere killed. The finan
cial loss will be about $25,000. This
is the first natural gas disaster ex
perienced by Findiay.
BY HOME GAPITAL.
The Cartersville Brick Company
to be Re-organized,
The Work to be Pushed to Completion •
Rapidly as Ponslble—Big Profit* and
Handsome Dividend!.
The Cartersville Brick Company,
which was organized in this city
about a month ago, since which
time very little, if anything, has
been done to carry out the original
plans, will he re-organized and
the work of establishing the plant
will be begun at once.
Mr. Hiram Blaisdell, president of
the gas company, was at the head
of the project, and he it was who
got up the subscriptions. He left
shortly afterwards for the north,
saying that he would purchase the
necessary machinery for the plant.
From one cause and another this
has, from time to time, been delayed
until the home stockholders have
become impatient. The contract
with Mr. Blatsdell expired on the
20th inst.. last Tuesday, and the ma
jority have expressed a desire to
withdraw from the company and
organize another, or perhaps re
organize tire old one.
The capital stock of the company
■was placed at 140,000, Mr. Blaisdell
taking half of it. As .$20,000 of the
stock is already owned by home
men, it is calculated that if it is
necessary to raise more money it
<could easily be done.
A prominent brick machine man
ufacturer of Ohio was in the city
Monday, and from the
obtained from him it is clear that
the company could start handsome
ly on less money than was origin
ally planned.
The present year, it is thought,
willfbe one of much building in this
city. Large business blocks will in
all probability be erected, and the
company desires to be ready in
+ j*yA f A fnnniqL nil fk a jkrpinlr fLuf 1C
needed the present year.
Hike concerns make big profits
and pay handsome dividends, and
these who wish to make a safe in
vestment, sure of large returns, wilt
noUfail to embrace the'opportunity
of staking stock in sudh an enter
prise—that is if the opportunity ex
ists.
It is high time our own people
wore taking a lively interest Jn
sudh things. We woifid like to see
oae big manufacturing company
organized here and the plans car
ried out exclusively by home capi
tal. Only in this way can the confi
dence of people akom abroad be ©b
taiined. Oar people hr ve first to
show their faith in rfhe town and

American MadeTlin.
Washington, Jan. 18.—Tin parts,
pails, buckets, and other household
articles made of tin as well as
square plates of tin ocvered the
loeg table of the house .committee
on ways and means the last tw<o

Neddringhaus, of Missouri, was is

explained to all inquirers,She reason:
for the changed appearance of the
room.
The tins are samples of those
witieh are be in# tunned out every
day at. the works in St. Louis and
are vrJholly of American manufac

Mill Join the Alliance.
Atlanta, Ga., Jam 18.—Senator
eleet Gordon, in an interview to
day, announces his firm determina
tion to join the alliance. During
his candidacy for the senate he
promised some of his alliance sup
porters that he wouid join, but he
has put It off so long that his good
faith was doubted. Gordon talks
strongly against the third party
movement in the alliance, but says
that, if the farmers of the W’est
won’t join the democratic party,the
next best thing is the independent
movement that takes them away
from the republicans. He gives
Congressman-elect Livingston, who
is also president of the state alli
ance, a slap by saying he does not
think alliance officers should be in
politics.
By innumerable cures, Dr. Bull’s
Cough Syrup has won for itself a most
enviable reputation.
KILLED HIS-SON.IN.LAIV.
Terrible Tragedy ii a Prominent Chat
tanooga Family.
Chattanooga Tenn., Jan. 18.—
A horrible tragedy occurred here
to-day, in which S. M. Fugette,
cashier of the Smth Chattanooga
Savings bank, wss shot and killed
by his futher-in-kw, Judge J. A.
Warder, who is city attorney of
Chattanooga. Julge Warder is
shot ia two place. One ball pene
trated hs breast at the right nip
ple and the othei took off the in
dex finger of his left hand. Mrs.
Fugette is the ony child of Judge
Warder, and isshot in the' right
thigh, a very dagerous wound.
From the evlence at the coro
ner’s inquest it apears that Judge
Warder came haie at 1 o’clock In
a very drunken sondition and im
mediately went > the room of Mr.
and Mrs. Fugett where the shoot
ing took place araoon as he enter
ed. Mr. and As. Fugette lived
with Judge andMrs. Warder on
College street, here were seven
shots fired, five y Judge Warder
and two by Mr. jgette.
It is said thatJrs, Fugette was
the first person hot and Fugette
then fell dead,toot through the
heart. He was und witli a news
paper in one hat and a pistol with
two chambers epty in the other.
Mrs. Fugette wsfound lying over
him with her ars entwining him,
piteously crylnjfor some one to
save. Judge W-der staggered to
a neighbor’s bob and is now there
in a precarious mdition.
Mrs. Fugette iunable to speak,
and what took lace in the room
aside from theshooting, is not
known. From e evidence before
the coroner’s ju it appears that
Judge Warder’equeritiy would
come home dm and abuse his
wife and dangle and the women
would appeal foroteetiou to Mr.
Fugette. guch trouble occurred
late .Saturday Ight when Mr.
Fugette ijaSetecds father-iu-iaw.

Converting the Indiiui*.
One of the early gifts from Eng
land to Harvard college was a print
ing press for the purpose of supply
ing Indians with Bibles and other
books that would aid in their con
version. Various religious treat
ises were published for the use of
the colonists, but almost imrnedi-
ately the general court commenced
to interfere with the liberty of the
press. No facilities were allow’ed
for printing outside of Cambridge,
and even there the restrictions were
so great that the court forbade the
publication of Thomas a-Kempis’
“Imitation of Christ,” although the
printing was well under way.
The efforts to convert and educate
the Indians were honest and praise
worthy, but, as is well known, the
Indian did not take kindly to civili
zation, nor did civilization take
kindly to him. Of the few' who
were willing to submit to English
masters and to learn Latin and
| Greek, some sickened and died after
they had made goAd proficiency,
others were disheartened and left
when they were almost ready for
college, while the one solitary In
dian—Caleb Cheeshahteaumuck
who has the honor of being enrolled
among the alumni of Harvard Col
lege and died soon after taking his
degree.

MY SHIP.
Ah, many a day have I said,
Foiling amid the day’s bnsv din,
(Thinking of my sailor at sea)
Oh, when will my ship come in ?
When will it bring back my love to met
My lover So staunch and so true,
Who whispered in my ears one day
I hat story bo old—yet so new.
Someday, I’d say, as I sit alone,
Dreaming here by the window sill,
Listlessly watching the boats go by;
Home day when all is cairn and still,
1 shall catch a sight of snowy
(Reaming against the sky, and then
Drandly treading the foaming waves—
Some day I’ll see my ship sail in.
But ah! I watted many a day
As I wandered by the sea,
Straining my eyes to catch a glimpse
Of iny ship coming home to me.
* * * * • •
One morn the wind was Mowing fresh
And strong and brisk across the sea,
That morn, of all morns—l can’t forget
The day my ship came hack to me.
So my ship camo back to me at last
And brought back my lover, and I
! hank Rod for llis goodness unto me,
While the weeks and months and
years go by.

SENATOR D. B. HILL IT IS.
He (Jets the Assembly Vote In New
York.
Albany, N. Y., January 20,—Da
vid B. Hill will be the next United
States senator from New York.
The house met at 12 o’clock to
day to vote for Evart’s successor.
Hill received t>s votes, Evarts 58.
Hill was declared the nominee of
the assembly. In the senate Hill
received 13 and Evarts 19.
The two houses meet in joint ses
sion tomorrow and Hill will be
elected senator. Four democrats
and one republican were absent
from the assembly today, but will
be present at the joint ballot to
morrow.
Lieutenant Governor Edward F.
Jones has announced himself a can
didate for the democratic nomina
tion for governor.
Five Mouths Schopl.
State School Commissioner Brail
well states that the public school
fund will enable the schools to have
five months session.
The impression somewhat seems
to have gotten abroad that the
Jackson bill passed both houses and
that six months school were to be
looked for. Even the pres, in
many instances, seemed to take
this for granted. Asa matter of
fact the bill stuck in the senate and
failed to become a law.
Mr. Brad well says; “The assom
j bly, at its recent session, increased
tne school fund about $170,000 and
no more. The. $500,000 appropria
tion in the general act was greater
than the preceding year by that
amount. The legislature did that
much for theschools and no more.
The increase was sufficient to sup
port them for five months in the
year on the basisof five cents a da/,
$1 per month or $5 per term for
each scholar.
“Had the Jackson bill passed
there would have been money
enough to keep the schools running
for six months, as desired, and ap
parently expected by many.”
