them. Those present were Mrs.

Tillman on Top.
An Edgefieldi IS. 1 dispatch
of July 1 O'says: This morning at an
early hour allianeernen from the
four corners of the county came by
droves to attend the meeting of the
county alliance ami to hear the de
bate on the sub-treasury bill between
Governor Tillman and Hon. W. J.
Talbert.
The court house was filled to its
uttermost, but the doors were closed,
and your correspondent not being a
member of the alliance was not per
mitted to be present consequently
knows nothing of the discussion ex
cept what could be heard from the
echo of the speakers voices now and
then.
The impression is that Governor
Tillman got the best of the debate.
After the discussion a resolution
was offered to endorse the sub-treas
ury bill, whit-oli was tabled, and a
resolution was offered to adopt the
Ocala platform, \yhich was snowed
under seven feet deep.
This clearly indicates that the
sub-treasury is not wanted in Edge
field.
Prof. Grace’s Benefit.
The Scholars of Prof. Grace, who,
with their friends, have .been try
ing to work up a little drama for
his benefit, have been interrupted
in their hopes by reason of the ill
ness of relatives to the participants
and the engagement had to be
abandoned, but as the young friends
of Prof. Grace determined that lie
should not lose his benefit, a music
al and recitation entertainment has
been arranged for him. This will
take place in the opera house on
Tuesday night next, 28th inst., when
the public will have an opportunity
of seeing and hearing how nice a
programme the friends of Prof.
Grace have gotten up for his bene
fit. Admission will be 25 cents, re
served seats 35 cents, sold at W! F
Baker’s jewelry store.
Died. •
Mrs. Eliza M. Van Deusen, the
aged relict of Rev. Edwin M. Van
Beusen, 1). J)., of Utica, X. Y.,
breathed her last on Monday morn
ing at 1 o’clock a. m.
Mrs. Van Deusen had been a de
vout member of the Episcopal
church all her life. Her remains
Were taken by her grandson, Dr.
Gazzam, to the church in Utica
with which her and-her husband
had been associated for so long a
time. The funeral services will be
held among her old friends, and the
interment made in the family buri
al lot in Utica.
If there is anything that can beat
the clamor of a dog whose foot has
been stepped upon, it is the bawling
of the pessimist who can’t allow
anybody else to be happy.
CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JULY 23, 1891.
TIMELY TOPICS.
" an Intelligent Farmer Has to
Sa J °f* Questions of the l>aj\
1 .saw an intelligent and well to
do farmer yesterday on Main street
who had just brought a coop of
chickens to town, about ten pounds
of butterjSix dozen eggs and a few
bushels of apples. He was a plain
uign but appeared to be of that sub
stantial kind with which Bartow
county abounds, who live at home
in a ni ' houfe O ' land that U
paid for, and who are usually cor
rect and safe men whether you
question them on finance, religion
or politics. Without knowing the
man very well I recognized his type
and soon got him interested in a
conversation which I struck up..
He said he was a member of the
farmers’ alliance and believed that
th£ order would be able eventually
to bring about immense good.
Said he, ‘‘l am a Nor then man so
far 41s the state administration goes.
I voted for him because I thought
it was time for the farmers to have
a turn and he was a safe man who
could convince the people that all
farmers were neither uneducated
nor otherwise unfit for high office.
Then we were promised thatNorth
en could and would shake things
uj> a good deal in the way of bring
ing about equality of taxation, bet
ter public schools, gtc. So far he
lias not done very much, but he has
proved to be as good as any we
have bad if he is a farmer.”
“Well now, how about the sub
treasury ?” I asked.
“Well, all we know is that some
tliing is wrong with the govern
ment somewhere. I think the
trouble is in the currency. We
need more money. I can’t say that
I have much faith in the warehouse
part, but it does seem to me that
the government ought to be able to
issue money in such a way that the
money speculators of Wall sfreet
can’t contract the currency!”
“How would you get more money
in circulation if not by the ware
house ?”
“I think the best way is for the
government to issue money and
lend it on real estate mortgages.
Bay issue double the present amount
and lend it to real estate owners at
a reasonable rate. of interest. This
would suit all classes of farmers.
The real estate loan scheme is the
best. Free coinage is not what we
need to help us. That will help the
bwivers of silver mines, but they are
already rich and will keep their
silver for their own wants when it
is coined. 'They don’t care about
this volume of circulation, and they
won’t put it into circulation. What
the producers need is an increased
circulation medium so that it will
be in the hands of everybody who
will become buyers.”
“How do you think the farmers
of Bartow county stand on this
question ?”
“That I can’t say, but four out of
five of my alliance go for the sub
treasury until something better is
offered. That is to say we must
have a change of some kind in our
financial policy and they are will
ing to accept any scheme that of
fers'to put more money in circula
tion.”
“How about government control
of telegraphs and railroads?”*
“I don’t think that will work.
The railroads and telegraphs are
not bothering us much at present,
and I don’t see much in that prop
osition.”
The gentleman made some fur
ther interesting observations re
specting the men now on top in
this state which he said was not for
publication, so I refrain, but they
meant much considering the source.
It is a significant fact that whore
ex ,r you find a farmer who gener
ally brings ..!'ng something to sell
when he comes to town, you will
find one able to keep small ci.enge
in his pocket and never permits his
small debts, like his subscription to
his county paper or to his preacher
to become past due. Such men are
the backbone of the country, ’they
are the producers, and they make
law-abiding, thrifty citizens and
live free from many cares, troubles
and anxieties that cut short the
lives of other men. Bartow county
can boast of many ot this kind and
one need never fear trusting your
lives and property in their hands.
Tabernacle Meeting.
Many persons have been asking
the question will there be a taber
nacle meeting this year? We are
authorized to say on 4 the part of
Rev. S. P. Jones that he will be on
baud 011 Sept. 13th to do his share i
in this great annual revival of re
ligion.
THE REUNION.
Everything Progressing Nicely
and a Good Time Promised.
Some Re&olutions From the Veteran*'
Camp—Gen. Watle Hampton May
he on lliiinl—Vetter From Him.
Bar to w camp of confederate ve
terans met with the finance com
mittee for the p opo el reuni' 11
of the Fortieth Georgia regiment
and Phillips’legion last Friday. A
gratifying progress was reported by
the several sub-committees.
The camp adoped unanimously
the following resolutions.
Resolved, That our immediate
representatives, lions. W. T. Burge
and W. L. LeConte, be urged to use
their influence for tlio passage of
the bill now pending in the legisla
ture, looking to the maintenance by
the state of the confederate sol
diers’ home of Georgia, and that the
general assembly is earnestly re
quested to make suitable provisions
for those of our comrades who in
their old age are broken down in
health and fortune.
Resolved, further, That the secre
tary of this meeting transmit a copy
of these resolutions to each of our
immediate representatives, and to
L. Calhoun, president
board of trustees of soldiers’ home,
Atlanta, Ga.
it is now hoped that the old hero
Gen. Wade Hampton, will be pres
ent at the reunion. He has written
Capt. Dick Hargis the following let
ter:
My Dear Bir:—.Since the last of
May I have been out of the state,
and your kind letter of the 9th of
June reached me only on my return.
This must be my excuse for my ap
parent negligence in not replying to
you earlier. Nothing would gratify
me more than to meet once again
my gallant comrades of the Phil
lips Legion, and if I can make my
arrangements to do so I hope to be
with them at their reunion. No
braver or hotter men were in the old
brigade than these ot your com
mand, and I am deeply gratified
and touched to know that the survi
; vors have not forgotten me. If pre
vented by untoward circumstances
from thanking them in person, as
sure them that my heart will be
with them, and that my best wishes
for the welfare of every true soldier
among them will never cease.
Thanking you for your kind
words, 1 am,
Very truly yours,
Ware

fulling Affray.
On Tuesday afternoon on Main
street near Stanford’s bakery Dob
Rhea and Lee Burrough, jr., whilst
chaffing each other got mad and
begdn rough language which was
followed by blows. They were sep
arated once or twice, hut no sooner
were they loosed than they were ab
it again. Lee having struck Bob
harder than usual, Bob whacked
out his knife and made a lunge at
his friend which stopped the fight.
All the damage was a sharp cut just
over the left brow which, bleeding
i profusely, led Lee to think his eye
| bad been cut out. • He was taken
| to Dr. •Calhoun’s office, who, with
| the assistance of Dr.. Kirkpatrick,
soon sewed up the cut. Of course
| the boys bad boon drinking and
! imbibed too much. The young
men have ever been friends, no bad
| feeling existing whatever, and they
will doubtless be friends soon again

U.iM’ballists Abroad.
The Etowah Base Ball club, of this
city, left here on Wednesday of
last week for Piedmont, Ala., where
they played per agreement, in the
afternoon, a match game.
The Piedmonters had reinforced
themselves by getting several capi
tal players from the larger Alabama
towns, but even then they had to
play lively to gain a victory over
our boys. The game was 10 to 1 in
Piedmont’s favor.
On Thursday the Etowahs stop
ped in Oedartown and played their
second game with the club of that
place. The game was a close and
interesting one, and resulted in a
victory for Cartersville by a score
of S to (>. The following is the score:

Death of Rev. P. E. Hankins.
'Truly a good man has gone.
Rex'. P. E. Hawkins died at his
home near GrasSdale at i o’clock,
on Saturday, the IXth instant. Mr.
Hawkins had been suffering for sex’-
eral years with a troublesome can
cer, from which death alone brought
relief.
He moved to Bartow county in
’73 or ’74, from Tennessee, and with ]
his brother, bought and settled on j
the place where he died. He in a i
few yes.x-ft nought ont his brother, I
and by perseverance and econ- !
oniy made quite a success as a I
farmer.
He lias been a Missionary Baptist
minister for forty years or more,
and bis discourses were always in
teresting and impressive...
He xvasa kind, considerate good
husband and lather, and his wife
and large family of children who
survive him, as well as his neigh
bors and many friends, commingle
their griefs over bis demise.
His remains xvere interred at
Oak Hill cemetery in this city on
Monday last, Rev. Dr. Headden, of
Rome, conducting the religious cer
emonies. The remains were laid
away with Masonic honors, mem
bers of Pine Log, Cassville and Car
tersville lodges officiating.
City Survey..
Differences of opinion occurring
between some property holders and
| the city council as to the exact
amount of property xvithin the cor
rect city limi, induced the council
,to order a survey. To this end city
1 engineer Frederick, with a corps of
assistants, consisting of It. R.
; Smith, rodman, Will Granger and
J. D. Allen, chainmen, and a couple
of laborers as axemen, started out
I last Monday morning and in four
and one-half days completed an
\ exact survey. The city limit is es
■ timated upon a circle of one mile
radius from the W. A A. railroad
! depot, and xvhat has caused some
confusion is the fact that the eoun
| ty uses the court bouse as a starting
point of measurement and the city
i another point. Surveyor Frederick
has accomplished this much needed
work quickly and in a most satis
factory manner, as his method of
establishing the correctness of the
circle by his many radius measur
irients substantiates li is figure- - .
We congratulate the council upon
their selection of city surveyor.
A CartersviUe Boy.
The friends of Sayre Calhoun,
and they are many, in CartersviUe,
welcome him hack on a short visit.
Sayre has been for some time en
gaged with the E. M. Link Manu
facturing’company, of Erie, Pa., and
his capacities are fast being recog
nized in such a way by his employ
ers as promises promotion, and we
should not be astonished at anv
conspicuous business achievements
that may attend his efforts after a
few years. He is much in love
with his business and present sur
roundings.
