JULY 19, 1894.
The Itattle in tin* fifth between
Livingston and Candler, the Consti
tution and the Journal, is decidedly
the warmest in the state, with the
odds in favor of Livingston and the
Constitution.
Speaker Crisp was unanimously
nominated by the democrats of the
third congressional district, last
week, and will be his own successor
in congress. Judge Crisp is an
honor to ids state and the union,
and opposition to his election by
the populist or any other party
would be folly.
Hon. R. W. Everett announces in
a card which we publish elsewhere
that he is out of the race for the
democratic nomination fer con
gress, which leaves the field clear
for Judge Maddox. Mr. Everett
has been over the district, and has
met with considerable encourage
ment, but, as he says in his card, he
thinks that it would be better that
there should be no contest over the
n unination.
It is announced from Rome that
Hon. Seab Wright will be a candi
date for congress on the independ
ent schedule, and will try to obtain
tle indorsement of the populist
party on his own platform, and it is
also stated that Mr. McGarrity will
carry the populist banner through
the campaign. Both of these gen
tlemen have had the congressional
itch before, but lacked the temerity
to face the democratic music.
After the strike is over the citi
zen tax payer of Chicago will have
to pay for every car burned, for all
the tracks destroyed, and for all
damage done to property of rail
roads and the goods in transit.
This bill will be a large one and
when the taxes are levied for
this purpose the howl will be great.
But if citizens allow such lawless
ness and wanton destruction of
property as has characterized the
progress of the strike they do it
warned beforehand, for Allegheny
County, Pa., had to pay several
millions of dollars damages for the
riots of 1877.
A COMPASS.
Cartersville now has a most fa
vorable opportunity of securing a
cotton compress upon terms that
may never be offered again and the
business men of this city should
take hold of the matter and push it
to success.
The advantages to be gained are
varied and no one who lias the in
terest of the town at heart can fail
to respond to an appeal to assist
Hie enterprise. It will more than
double the cotton receipts by
wagon; it will put more buyers in
the field; give employment to labor
and in every way increase the re
tail business of Cartersville. It
will bring large shipments of cot
ton from both the Western and At
lantic and the East and West rail
roads from other towns to be com
pressed, and every bale which pass
es through the compress will pay
toll to Cartersville whether soid at
this point or some other. There is
not a compress along the line of
the East and West, and none be
tween Dalton and Atlanta on the
Western and Atlantic. Cotton
would come to a compress at Car
tersville from all along the lines of
these two roads, and a great deal
which now goes to Home would
come here. It would give employ
ment to a large force of hands dur
ing ihe season, and pay a handsome
profit on the investment.
With a small donation from the
people of Cartersville the compress
will be built by outside capital, or
our people can make the invest
ment and reap the profits. It will
bean investment which will ad
vertise Cartersville in a way that
wiii be of lasting advantage to the
town, and will be followed by other
enterprises which will increase our
population, bring in the profits of
manufactured goods and build up
right here the best town in Georgia.
We have every natural advantage
for a prosperous community, and it
only needs that our business men
-hould combine and push to success
: a thing and everything that will
add to the business, population or
wealth of the town.
Mr. L. T. Bradfield, of Birming-
ham, who is well acquainted with
the compress business, has been in
Oartersville for several days and is
making some progress towards or
ganizing a company for the purpose
ot building a compress.. He should
meet with every encouragement
which our people can possibly give
him, and advantage should be
taken of the opportunity now of
fered.
KOLB’S PROSPECTS.
Kolb’s prospects for being gover
nor of Alabama do not improve as
the campaign advances. And there
is no good reason why they should.
Men who like fair dealing in poli
tics have no use for Kolb. A couple
of years ago he was pretending to
be a democrat of the old fashion
sort. He never got tired of calling
himself a “Jeffersonian Democrat.”
He still calls himself a democrat of
that kind, but he stands on the pop
ulist platform. Not content with
affiiating with the populists, he an
nounces he is a protectionist, and
the Home Market Club of Boston,
a republican organization, is sup
plying him with money with which
to break the solid south.
According to bis own statement
he is a “ Jeffersonian democrat,” a
populist and a republican. That is
enough to show the kind of a fol
lowing he has, gathered up of all the
odds and ends of the political frag
ments in the state, and insists that
he is going to win the governorship
on Aug. (> at any cost.
But tie wiil liot win. Every in
telligent democrat in the state must
know that he is not a democrat.
He may have been one a long time
ago. Democrats will not vote for
him, populists care very little for
him, and he is not at all* popular
with the republicans. It does uot
now look as if he would lead an
army to Montgomery to see him
inaugurated, as he is alleged to
have threatened to do a few days
ago. He is not an admirable man
from any point of view, and af
ter Aug. (5 he will likely drop outof
sight altogether. Alabama has al
ready had too much of Kolb.
In Memoriam.
Della Griffin, the wife of J. B.
Crawford, and iiie daughter of Mr.
and Mrs. T. C. Griffin, was born
August 12th, 1859, and after a long
and serious throat trouble, the re
sult of la grippe, died at her home,
at Cassville, Ga., June 25th, 1894.
She was baptized into the Oosta
naula Missionary Baptist church,
near the home of her father, in Gor
don county, Georgia, in 1872, by the
undersigned, and married by the
same in 1881. She gave birth to
three children, two boys and one
girl, who are left to feel the great
weight of a mother’s less Knowing
Della from her childhood, and
many years her pastor, I am fully
prepared to speak of her life truth
fully and pleasantly. Death, in her
case, has taken from the field of
affection and kindness one of the
richest, loveliest, most serviceable
and estimable characters; rich,
from the fact that out of her very
being, life, words and actions, flow
ed continually streams which con
tributed to the weli being and hap
piness of those about her; lovely,
because she wore so gracefully the
mantle of charity; serviceable, as
ready 7 unto every good word and
work; with a meek and quiet spirit,
going about doing good, she was
esteemed for her own works’sake.
A better and sweeter child never
lisped the name of father and moth
er,or obeyed a parental behest. A
more faithful wife never responded
yes to a lover’s petition nor in bridal
attire at the marriage altar, before
God and man, assumed the sacred
vows. A more devoted and dutiful
mother never rocked a cradle or
raised a child. Asa member of the
society and the church, with the
amiableness of her quiet spirit, she
won for herself praise and honor, to
which earth has never yet raised a
funeral note or furnished a burial
ground, but heaven designs to own
and everlastingly 7 to crown.
Dell: Griffin is dead! How shock
ing and sad to those who thus knew
her Irom earliest associations, at
school, in the meadow and the wild
wood. Who ever knew her but to
love her ? Della Crawford is dead!
What a meaning to the home on
the hill. That husband, knowing
her best of all on earth, wooed and
won her hand and heart, receiving
the support of her spirit, its power
and piety, encouraged by 7 her love
and confidence, ever happy by her
presence and fortified by 7 her pray
ers, who can weigh his weeping or
cure his complaint ? Who can com
prehend and compensate the loss
of those three motherless children ?
Who can bind up tlie broken heart
of an aged father as iie mourns for
his last boru, so lovely, so honoring V
Who can speak to comfort four
weeping brothers and four weeping
sisters and a host of relatives and
friends? Who can touch and heal
us all in our sore bereavement?
Thank God, who giveth us the vic
tory through our Lord Jesus Christ,
iM Him who ministers out of the
multitude of llis infinite tender
mercies and loving kindnesses and
the Christ who, as a high priest,
touched with the feeling of our in
firmities and the great spirit that
quickeneth unto life, we find a
refuge and strength and a very
present help and hope sure and
steadfast for the future. Why such
a devoted and obedient child, affec
tionate and faithful wife and moth
er and exemplary Christian was
taken so early, in the noontide of
womanly strength and virtue, re
mains to be revealed under the
leading of an unfaltering faith in
the God of love, in the intercessions
of him who laid down his life for
his friends and in the spirit which
helpeth our infirmities, interceding
for us with groanings that cannot
lie uttered, according to the of
Go 1. Such faith only becomes us
and to such faith Delia exhorted us
in tier dying moments. So, with
tiie servant Job, we must, ought
and will say, “The Lord gave and
the Lord hath taken away; blessed
be the name of the Lord,” thus ac
knowledging the truth that in life
and death the Lord God omnipo
tent reigneth, assuredly, believing
that the consequences will result
in needed good, submissively bow
ing to the loss, and wipe away our
•tears in consoling hope of measur
ing the years of eternity with her
we loved so well on earth, in heav
en. Della left an abundance of ev
idence of ripeness for death, though
seemingly premature. The worn
leaves and marked passages in her
oible show she had received with
meekness the engrafted word, and
her soul was saved.
To show she hungered and thirst
ed, let this beautiful poem of Whit
tier speak, it having been posted in
tier bible by her own hands, and
many times on her bed of affliction
comforted her longing soul:
AT LAST.
“When on my day of life tlie night is
falling,
And in the wind from unsunned spa
ces blown
I hear far voices out of darkness calling
My feet to paths unknown.
Those Who hath made my home of life
so pleasant,
1 <eave not its tenant, when its walls
decay.
O, love divine! O, Helper ever present!
Be thou my strength and stay.
Be near me when all else from me is
drifting,
E irth, sky, home’s picture, of
shade and shine,
And kindly faces to my own uplifting
The love that answers mine.
I nave but 1 liee, O, Father. Let thy
spirit
Be with me then to comfort and up
hold ;
No gate of pearl, no branch of palm I
merit,
No street of shining gold.
.Suffice it if my good and ill unreekoned,
And both forgive through tny abound
ing grace,
I find myself by hands familiar beck
oned
Unto my fitting place.
Some humble dbor among thy many
mansions,
Some sheltering shade, where sin and
striving cease,
And Hows through heaven green expan
sions,
The river of thy peace.
There fiom the music around about me
stealing,
1 fain would learn the new and holy
song,
And iind, at last, beneath the tree of
healing - ,
The life for which I long.”
In hope of the resurrection morn
ing, trusting' we pass under the
cloud knowing what is our loss is
her gain, ami wait to the “un
cloudy day” when “voices hushed
in silence” shall speak when we
meet again. So farewell, loved one,
only for a little while.
The readers of of this paper will be
pleased to learn that there is at least
one dreaded disease that science has
been able to cure in all its stages and
that is that dreaded disease, Catarrh.
Hall’s Catarrh Cure is the only positive
cure now known to the medical frater
nity. Catarrh being a constitutional
disease, requires a constitutional treat
ment. Hall’s Catarrh Cure is taken in
ternally, acting directly upon the blood
and mucous surfaces of the system,
thereby destroying the foundation of
the disease, and giving the patient
, strength by building up the constitution
and assisting nature in doing its work.
