THE DUTY OF DEMOCRATS.
Man is prone often to too soon
forget things that he ought to re
member. For a few years after
the war when every evil which
men in power with bad designs
could put upon a people
threatened the people of the south
looked to one source alone for re
demption, end that was the triumph
of the democratic party. By stand
ing solidly together they finally
threw off the reconstruction yoke
and breathed the air of liberty for
which they had patiently yearned.
In those hours none thought of de
sertion, for desertion would have
meant the thwarting of the pur
poses which all good people knew
meant relief. As long as we lin
gered in the shadows of past woes
and could see by contrast what a
change of conditions which we had
sought meant, democracy received
its full meed of praise and was
rightly credited as the true avenue
through which had come redemp
tion. Not until malcontents had
•
strewn the seeds of discontent that
germinated into mongrel factors
did any arise to oppose the very
power that had saved them. De
mocracy is today more worthy the
support of the people of the south
than it ever was. Its principles
are just, reasonable and worthy, it
stands by the people’s rights, and
opposes as it has always opposed
all forms of oppression—in short is
the true party of the people. Hav
ing accomplished much, it can ac
complish more. For men calling
themselves democrats to threaten
to desert the party for this or that
petty reason seems rankest folly.
Surely, what has the party done or
not done that should justify such
action ? The true duty of the hour
is to stand by the party. If little
evils exist, fight them out within
the party, but never desert her col
ors. They are the same colors un
der which you have often battled,
and wiii lead to new victories glo
rious and far reaching in benefits,
if we but stand together.* In this
special hour the Courant American
would feel it was recreant to its
true duty if it did not admonish
democrats to stand by the party.
THE TARIFF WRECKERS FOILED.
Republican senators yesterday
played with the tariff bill the des
perate game of wreckers who hang
out a false light to lure a distressed
and storm-bested ship on the rocks
of a lee coast. Senator Washburn,
of Minnesota, chief wrecker on the
occasion, held out the false hope of
reducing the duty on refined sugar
—solely to delay and kill the bill,
and thus prolong the regime of the
McKinley law, by which the whole
country is forced to pay as bounty
to the “protected” manufacturing
trusts over $5,000,000 every day and
12,000,000,000 every year.
Now that the bill has gone back
to tbe conference committee all
honorable and patriotic democrats
both in and out of congress will do
their utmost to have it amended
on the lines of the Wilson lull,
• which, it passed, will relieve the
country of fully $1,000,000,000 of
“protective” taxation every year.
Though the senate bill is far less
oppressive and burdensome than
McKinley's, it must be shorn of its
vile Gorman-Smith-Price “conces
sions” to the plutocratic manufac
tures and trusts which have so
long enjoyed the privilege of “pro
tection”—the privilege of compell
ing seventy million people to pay
nearly two prices for every article
they have to buy.
The people have been rudely
trained by a year of “hard times”
and distress to understand the un
sneakable ruin which McKinley
ism has wrought and to see that
Germanism is not very much bet
ter. They will stand by every sen
ator and representative who fights
their battle against the perfidious
attempt of the Gorman ring to tax
them $1,250,000,000 a year—not for
government, but simply as the
tribute of slaves to their plutocratic
masters and kings.
The house now has a command
ing vantage and can win its fight
for tree raw’ materials and lower
duties. Let it, if necessary, “fight
it out on this line if it takes all
summer.”—New York Herald.
BARTOW’S AFFAIRS,
As They Are Investigated by the
Grand Jury.
GENERAL PRESENTMENTS-
The Work of the County Chaineang on the
Public Roads Commended —Suggestions
Touching Pauper Farm Matters.
•
We, the grand jury, chosen and
sworn for the July term, 1894, of
Bartow superior court, make these
our general presentments.
We have examined into the af
fairs ot the county, through appro
priate committees, as carefully as
the limited time taken from other
important duties would allow.
We find that there are 31 prison-
ers now confined in the county
chaingang, that they are well cared
for and fed, that their bedding and
the whole camp is clean and neat.
We find 8 mules being used and all
in good condition. We consider
the work now being done by the
chaingang to be superior in every
way, the roadbeds constructed in a
scientific and permanent manner.
In order that the whole county
may more rapidly obtain the bene
fit of the chaingang upon the pub
lic roads we recommend to the
county commissioners that they
have especial attention devoted to
the grading down of the hills and
the forming of permanent roadbeds
upon low and marshy places, leav
ing the better portions of the roads
to be worked by the regular road
hands.
We recommend that the county
commissioners furnish to road over
seers sewer pipes instead of lumber
for all of the smaller bridges upon
the public roads.
We recommend that the road
running from Hardin’s bridge to
near Harrison Loveless’ place be
worked out by the chaingang as
soon as is practicable, as it is re
ported as in almost an impassable
condition and there are no road
hands assigned to said road.
We find that there are two day
guards at a salary of $20.00 per
month and one night guard at $20.00
per month. Considering the hard
times we think none of these guards
should be paid over $20.00 per
month. We consider Mr. Burke,
the superintendent of the camp, as
the right man in the right place,
and commend him lor the efficien
cy 7 of the work since he took charge,
but in order to conserve the good
order of the criminals, and the
morals of the people, we call the
attention of the county board to
the fact that in the face of a plain
rule issued by the board for the
government of the camp, crowds
of visitors have assembled in and
around said camp, intermingling
freely with the convicts. We
especially deplore this custom, be
cause many, if not most of the vis
itors are the youth, white and col
ored, of the^sur rounding country,
who are fascinated by the rehear
sal of crime and are being demoral
ized by such conversation; a pre
mium is being put upon crime and
the Sabbath is being sadly desecra
ted. We would urge the more rigid
enforcement of the published rule
upon this subject.
We find the books of the county
commissioners to be neatly and
correctly kept, the secretary hav
ing on file a proper voucher for
every disbursement made by the
hoard.
The books of the county treasurer
we find To be neat and accurate.
Cash on hand this, 13th day of
July, 1894:
Pauper fund* $ 1.1.9.
Jury 1067.79.
Jail 24.00.
General 6.65.
Total $1094.63.
We find the jail needs some re
pairs. There are two leaks in the
roof of the buildings that should be
attended to immediately, as also
repairs upon the veranda. We
find five cells not available for
want of locks, which should lie
remedied. We further recommend
that the county commissioners
have water pipes laid to connect
with the water main and a faucet
put up in a suitable point in thd
jail so that a bountiful supply of
water may be available for the
prisoners and the jailor’s family.
We find the dockets of the J. P.
and N. P. to be correct and neat.
An account has been presented
to the county commissioners by
the J. P. of the 82Sth militia dis
trict purporting to be tor room rent
for the past 18 years, at $5.00 per
year, as a justice court room. Upon
said account we find the commis
sioners have paid the sum of $25,00.
As we can find no law for the pay
ment of any amount upon such an
account w e desire to call their at
tention to the illegality of such
transaction.
We find the books and records of
the ordinary and cierk of the supe
rior court to be neat and correct.
We find from an inspection of
the tax collector’s books
The amount of General Taxon
Digest to he $22,265.25.
Collected, not on Digest, Coun
ty’s part 854.28.
Amount paid over to County
Treasurer 21,862.10.
Cash on hand 543.45.
lax due by Fast and West R.
R for 1891, 1892, and 1893 . 1,115.84.
The public roads are reported to
us as being in universal good order.
Upon inspection of the tax re
ceiver’s books we find that the
property of the county seems to he
returned at a fair valuation. Asa
result in the shrinkage of values,
the taxable property of the county
has decreased something over two
hundred thousand dollars. At least
93 per cent, of the decrease has been
in personal and city property and 7
per cent, is on real estate outside
the corporate towns in the county.
The state convict camp has been
carefully inspected, the citizen
committee being Mr. Jere Field,
Mr. J. S. Leake and Mr. Geo. H.
Headden. We find the convicts in
a healthy condition and sanitary
laws fully complied with and the
prisoners humanely treated.
We find the dwelling of the su
perintendent of the poor tarm to be
in good condition and a good corn
crib on the place, but the stables
are badly out of repair, the loof al
most entirely open and some of the
logs badly decayed, rendering the
stable unfit for service and danger
ous. The buildings occupied by
the inmates are in bad condition,
all the roofs needing renewing and
many sills needing putting in anew.
These repairs we recommend be
made by the county commission
ers. We find the houses and grounds
clean and in good sanitary condi
tion. The inmates, under the su
pervision of Mr. and Mis. Upshaw,
are well cared for and have an
abundance to eat and wear of such
as the county authorities supply.
To give some addtional home com
fort and to lessen the expenses of
the provisions we recommend that
two good milch cows be bought, as
the inmates are old and need other
nourishment than is now being
supplied. We are glad to report
that the spiritual interests are
being cared for. There is a church
on the premises in which services
are held from one to three times
each month. We learn by good
authority that the land on the farm
is being steadily improved by the
present superintendent. We find
that the inmates are being-fed and
clothed at the small sum of $1.70
per month per capita. We think
the county has been fortunate in
securing Mr. and Mrs. Upshaw to
make so pleasant a home for these
unfortunates.
We recommend that the county
commissioners pay towards the
support of Mrs. Annie Howard, of
Taylorsville district, and Mrs. Har
rison, of Cassville district, tbe sum
of $2.00 per month each.
We recommend Mr. Thomas N.
Jenkins he appointed notary public
of the (903) Lower Stamp Creek
district.
We desire to state here that we
have carefully investigated the al
leged claims of R. H. Jones & Sons
against the county for money spent
by them to supplement an amount
appropriated by the county com
missioners to build a bridge across
Stamp creek at Jones’ millsTn the
year 18S4 and it is our judgment
that R. 11. Jones & Sons have no
legal or moral claim upon the coun
ty for said account.
111 severing our connection with
the court we desire to return our
thanks to His Honor, Judge Mil
ner, and all tbe officers of the court,
for their universal kindness and
courtesy to this body. Oui inter
course has necessarily been more
intimate with our solicitor, Col. A.
W. Fite, and we desire to heartily
commend him for bis universally
courteous and respectful treatment
of our body, and for bis energetic
and impartial conduct of the crim
inal business of this court.
We recommend that these pre
sentments be published at the usual
rates.

Nothing in This World
Is so cheap as a newspaper, whether it he
measured by the cost of its production or hu its
value to the consumer. We are talking about
an American, metropolitan, daily paper of the
first class like THE CHICAGO RECORD. It’s so
cheap and so good you can’t afford in this day
of progress to be without it. There are other
papers possibly as good, but none better, and
none just like it. It prints all the real news of
the world—the news you care for —every day,
and nrinis it in the shortest possible space. You
can read THE CHICAGO RECORD and do a day’s
work too. It is an independent paper and gives
all political news free from the taint of party
bias. In a word — it’s a complete, condensed,
clean, honest family newspaper, and it has the
largest morning circulation in Chicago or the
west — 125,000 to 140,000 a day.
Prof. J. T. Hatfield of the Northwestern
University says: “THE CHICAGO RECORD
comes as near being the ideal daily jour
nal as we are for some time likely to find
on these mortal shores. ”
