AUGUST 23, 1894.
There will be a considerable ar
ray of back numbers in Georgia
politics after the coming elections,
and they will be principally of the
populist variety.
Cartersville’s chance for a fine
trade this fall seems startlingly
good. No town in Georgia has
weathered the depression better
and come out in liner shape. Con
servatism, wise steering and mu
tual confidence among business
men and citizens have played their
several parts in effecting these re
sults.
The bill appropriating $200,000
for a government display at the
international and Cotton States ex
position in Atlanta next year has
had the president’s signature, and
now Atlanta is truly happy. The
south has reason to rejoice at an
accomplishment that will be ultim
ately so rich in benefits. The ex
position promises to be a mammoth
success.
There is not a promise in the
populist movement that is not a
hollow one, and there is not a qual
ification in the candidate that ap
peals to any sincere, fairminded
democrat. There is no greater fraud
in politics than populism, and it
would be the saddest day in the
, history of Georgia if her people
were taken in by it.—Columbus En
quirer.
The defunct National Bank of
Cedartown has anew receiver—Mr.
M. S. Welse, of Oswege, N. Y. Mr.
James R. Barber, the clever and
aeeommodating*gentleman who has
been the receiver for over a year,
Was a former director and is a
stockholder in the First National.
It was thought by some that the re
ceiver should be a man entirely re
moved from the bank as an officer
or stockholder, and Mr. Barber sent
in ais resignation. *
China is negotiating for a war
loan of $50,000,000 at London and
Berlin and by a special decree the
Japanese Government has author
ized the raising oT a similar amount.
The Orientals “have the men, and
Ti ave the ships,” but they haven’t
the silver, too. Here is an excellent
opportunity for an alliance between
the Oriant and the Occident. The
gigentic financial genius of the irre
pressible Waite of Colorado should
be equal to the emergency of con
verting the bonds of China and Ja
pan into $100,0CK),000 nice, round
silver dollars.
The Rome Tribune jumps to the
rescue of Seab Wright whom it
claims has been accredited as be
tr
ing a populist. Really, a great
many hadn’t thought about Seal)
at all, but if he isn’t a populist, he
isn’t much of a democrat unless it
be of a kind like Judge Sparks, of
Fish Creek said Seab’s brother,
Miller was when his friends wan
ted to send him to a democratic
convention in Atlanta. “You might
tighten up every democratic tap
on him when he starts” said Judge
Sparks “and he would be* all to
pieces before he got as far as Ac
worth.”
The farmers alliance wouldn’t
allow lawyers membership in that
organization. They wandered off
into politics and now the third par- j
ty is run by lawyers. Tom Watson,
the head and chief, is a lawyer;
Judge Hines, anew convert lor of
fice, is a lawyer and a regular at
torney for corporations. Peek, who
was a farmer, was pushed aside for
Hines, the corporation lawyer. The
third party is virtually in the hands
of lawyers and politcal hacks and
disappointed office-seeker®. The
farmers are not in it, —Camilla Clar
ion.
It is claimed by the Republicans
that the democratic party will go
into the fail elections greatly hand
icapped by reason of the fact that
the senate was dominated by the
sugar trust, and for this reason it
is the duty of every democratic
gathering through the country to
denounce and repudiate such men
as Gorman and Brice. The fact
should be made clear to the people
that the great sugar trust which
now threatens to take the country
by the throat and shape the iegis
lature of congress was created by
the republican party; that all the
democratic senators, with the ex
ception of four or five, were true to
the people and the pledges of their
party, and were in no W’ay respon
sible for the betrayal of the case of
tariff reform. The responsibility
for the crime which has been com
mitted must be placed where it be
longs. .g
POPULIST CONGRESSIONAL NOMINEE.
The populist congressional con
vention of the seventh district
which met in Rome last week nom
inated its standard bearer, Dr.
W. H. Felton, of this county. In
our opinion a man could not have
been named whom it will be easier
for the democrats to defeat. Dr.
Felton was at one time a tower of
strength and seemed almost invin
cible before the people, but that
day is past. He poses today, os
tensibly as the representative of
heterogeneous ideas and principles,
but in truth, nothing. He has oc
cupied before the people first and
last so many different positions un
til it seems hard to accredit with
sincerity any of his utterances or
pretensions. Dr. Felton claims to
be in full sympathy with all the
socalled principles of the populist
party. It will be hard for him to
make the people believe so, in view
of his nast record. Four years ago
he could say nothing too hard, it
seems, against the very same crowd
he now represents as a champion
and leader. No one can discredit
Dr. Felton’s ability. His intellect
and store of* knowledge are such
as to win admiration. He is one
of the ablest stump speakers Geor
gia ever knew. Before an audience
he can still interest, but can hardly
convince. Whatever he may say
can hardly favorably effect his
cause. His power before the peo
ple has gradually waned until he
is now but a feeble representation
of his former self. He has been
too erratic and inconsistent and the
people know him.
Managers of the presidential
boom of Senator Cameron are hard
at work trying to get their grip
upon the American Bimetallic
League, which is holding a con
derence at Washington, but they
haven’t met with much success.
Even the republican members of
the league are not solidly for Cam
eron, and he has few supporters
among the populist members and
none among the democrats. There
is no longer the slightest doubt
about Cameron being in the field
for the republican nomination, his
claim being based solely upon his
friendship for silver and his willing
ness to pay for support.
Previous to the last election there
was just a bit of anxiety felt by the
democrats as to what would be the
outcome in the tenth district. To n
Watson was supposed to be in the
zenith of his power and glory, and
it was not absolutely certain that*
he would not carry the district a
second time. This year, however,
no apprehension is felt with regard
to the tenth, and the fourth and
seventh districts are looked upon
as the only ones in which the popu
lists will he able to make the fight
even interesting. And in these dis
trict there is no doubt about demo
cratic success.—Savanah News.
Bless your time, honey, don’t be
uneasy about the seventh.*

"GKANDFATHKR" JONES-
Birthday Reunion of Five Generations of the
Jones Family.
At the modest little home of Rev.
gamuel G. Jones on Main street,
on Thursday evening last, was held
the annual reunion of the Jones
family, the occasion being the
eighty-ninth birthday of Mr. Jones,
or “Grandfather Jones” as he is
called by the family.
After the members of the family
and a few invited guests had as
sembled, Dr. W. F. Quillian gave
out that old familiar hymn “Chil
dren of the Heavenly King,” which
was sung and nrayer was then of
fered. Dr. Quillian then delivered
a beautiful discourse on the subject:
“Children, obey your parents.” The
discourse was one of those beauti
ful and touching talks so charac
teristic of this good man. The ser
vice closed with prayer by Mr.
Kilpatrick who is 108 years old.
The family then grouped them
selves on the back veranda and a
photograph was taken by Mr. Men
kee. A special photograph was
also taken which represented five
generations of the Jones family.
The birthday dinner was a grand
feast and the gathering around the
splendid hoard furnished a pleasing
picture.
After dinner the time was spent
in pleasant conversations until it
was decided to dissolve the little
company.
It was a day that will be well re
membered by all present.

No Large Boys Taken.
To the Patronsof West End Institute:
After mature consideration I
have determined not to take boys
exceeding fourteen years of age
into the school. The small number
above that age in the school does
not justify me in employing anoth
er teacher for their benefit, while
at the same time they require much
attention to the neglect of the colle
giate classes of young ladies, which
double them in numbers. I fully
appreciate the patronage of those
who have for ten years entrusted
their boys to my care, and who
have, by kindly expression of inter
est in my school and in its prosper
ity, done much to encourage me in
my efforts to success. I regret ex
ceedingly the separation from the
hoys who have grown up under my
care, and that fact alone has pre
vented me for two years past from
making the above announcement,
although I have long been thor
oughly convinced that it was not to
the interest of the school to have
older boys and young men associa
ted with tiie large number of girls
upon its roll. If there was no
school in the city to which they
couid be sent, I w T ould sacrifice my
interest to theirs, hut I have dis
covered that the collegiate classes
being mixed, prevents young ladies
both in the city and from abroad,
from entering this class.
I trust that my patrons will ap
preciate my position, and I assure
the boys of my regard for them and
my continued interest in their
welfare. 1 will ever treasure in
my memory the respect and loving
acts of kindness and attention re
ceived from the majority of the
boys whom 1 have instructed for so
many years, and which have serv
ed much to lighten the cares of the
sciiool room. We ask you then for
your girls of all ages, and all of
your boys of fourteen and under,
promising you zealous, honest
work. We have a full corps of ex
perienced teachers in every depart
ment, and pleasant and comforta
ble rooms, with all the appliances
necessary for thorough instructions.
School opens September 3rd.
Very respectfully,
Mrs. J. W. Harris, Sr.,
