DEMOCRATIC MASK MEETING.
Pursuant to the* call of the joint chair
men of the Democratic Executive Com
mittee of Bartow county, a meeting of
the eomniitte was held at thecourt house
on Tuesday last with Col. R. H. Jones in
the chair, and R. I. Rattle, Secretary.
Alter consultation it was resolved to
hold a mass meeting of the party at the
court house on the first Tuesday in Sep
tember, for the purpose of selecting dele
gates to the nominating convention of
the seventh Congressional district, at
Cedar town.
At this mass meeting anew executive
committee will also be selected to serve
for the ensuing two years.

Napoleon's tiles cost him £l2 each.
If he were a figure in this age he could
invoke the green-eyed envy oi his mar

to progress.
Nathan M. Reed, a farmer of Alexan
dria CPy, Ala., choked his wife to death
last Saturday, and it required a military
company to save him from the hands of
the lynchers.
Capt. A. B. Fitts, of the Carrollton
Times, is now also editing a first-class
hotel. If his beef steak is as digestible
as his lucid editorials, the captain's
boarders are indeed lucky.
The star gazers have discovered anew
comet, some 142.000,000 miles from the
earth. Its tail is said to be turned to
wards Washington City, and it is thought
to be thelast Harrison and Morton boom.
Hon. “Steve” Clay, of Cobb, is very
likely to be the speaker of our next House
of Representatives.. He is one of the
coming men of Georgia, and his promo
tion will greatly please all who know the
man.
A maker has put on the market bis
cuits containing portnms of the Presi
dential candidates. A little more enter
prise in the same direction and the aver
age lunch gulper can put himself outside
a political campaign in baker's products
for fifteen cents.
It is proposed to hold a mineral expo
sition in Nashville in 1890* A minercj
exposition fully representing the whole
interests of the South, from the crude
material to the fiuished product, would
be such a revelation to the world that its
influence would be far reaching.
In sections of Indiana farmers are
covering trees with mosquito netting to
protect them from the ravages of the
myriads of locusts now abounding. The
insectiie foragers will “take the rag off
the bush” if they “get there" after such
radical precautions against them.
The situation in Europe is said to be
gradually growing worse. It will con
tinue to grow worse, as long as the
“royal blood” foolishness continues. The
age of Kings and Queens is already past,
and it is only a question of time when all
civilized people will take their govern
ment into their own hands.
Sam Jones now charges an admission
fee of fifty cents to his meetings, and the
papers are howling. The devil charges
a dollar and a half, and nobody inur
murs.—Smithville News.
There is a good point in this remark,
but the Smith ville man is “lying under
a misapprehension of the facts in the
case,” as to Sam Jones charging any
thing for admission to his meetings.
The organization of the Cotton Bag
ging Trust has naturally aroused great
indignation in the South, and many sug
gestions have been made as to how to
break its power, several correspondents
of Southern papers suggesting that
planters adopt a coarse cotton cloth or
cotton duck for baling their cotton. It
would certainly be a most desirable
change if the great quantity of bagging
annually needed could be made in the
South out of cotton, instead ol being
manufactured in the North of foreign
material.
The following have been elected per
manent officers of the North Georgia and
Alabama Exposition Company. The
same number of live, prudent, pushing
men, could not be found every day. They
are bound to make a grand success of
that important enterprise: President,
Win M Towers; vice-president. G H Mil
ler: secretary, A W Walton; treasurer, G
Clark; directors, J W Rounsaville, L A
Dean, John T Graves, John J Seay, Max
Meyerhardt, GM Batte.v, A W Ledbetter
W F Ayer, J F Shanklin, J II Allen, W T
kU'heney, A F Ross, Felix Corput.
A TOO COMMON FALLACY.
A letter from a Southern lady now in
one of the New England Stutes, to
Messrs. Aubrey A McEwen, one of Car
tersville's real estate firms, embodies the
following:
“I want to ask you to aid me a little
in a matter which I have become greatly
interested in since I came to New Eng
land. I find that a great many of the
substantial people, carpenters, cabinet
makers, (who get two or three dollars
per day), farmers who own their own
farms, are trying to get away from their
long and dreadful winters. It is the very
class of emigration rhat would do well
in Bartow, but none of them are looking
at the South. They think and say that
they will be ‘boycotted’ at the South
because they work, and because they are
Republican, and this turns them toward
California. I want you to send me some
papers setting forth the advantages of
your section. I like these people here;
they are a superior race, and their indus
try, nature’s and frugality, will infuse
new life into our own fair section."
Every day the erroneous impression
that exists among numerous persons in
the North regarding the feeling of the
Southerners towards those from their
section who come South to settle is
being answered in some way in the
eolumnsof theSouthernpress. Rut, alas,
these journals that contain the real
truth seldom ever reach those who have
been educated in the beliefs they enter
tain through a partisan press, and the
politician, who would keep alive a sec.
tional prejudice in order to further his
own political ends.
Various keenly observant and fair
minded men of prominence from the
North in the last few years have visited
the South and her people wifch no greater
object than to learn closely of the general
condition of affairs, and havegone back
convinced among other things that the
Northerner is shown every possible
courtesy and extended a hearty welcome,
regardless of political convictions or re
ligious beliefs, and have spread a knowl
edge of their agreeable discoveries
abroad as far as possible. Such men
were Henry Ward Beecher, Talmage, Col.
McClure, Hayes and others.
Yet the erroneous ideas still exist
among those whose sou roes of informa
tion have not been deflected from the
old channels.
We can cite instances where in hot
Democratic strongholds Northern men
with less than a year’s residence and
voting the Nbthional Republican ticket
have been chosen to local offices of honor
and responsibility, have been put at the
front in important public measures and
shown every consideration that might
be asked by the man of life-long resi
dence ami association. Wealth is in no
wise a necessary consideration to social
recognition, and the honest, industrious
workingman is by no means ostracised
by a people who Are advancing in every
way through the developments wrought
by actual toil.
The Southern people are not afraid of
being misrepresented by the many
worthy settlers from the North, whom
they have welcomed as citizens, and who
are now shoulder to shoulder with them
in the great march of development. If
those who would be informed of the
South would choose this source for their
information they can get the ;eal truth,
and we would invite them to do so.
The Court a NT-A mehican can give names
of those who would cheerfully testify i.i
the premises.
SAMPLE COPIES.
Every week we are sending out sample
copies of the Coubant-Amebican. Par
ties receiving them will understand that
they are sent to them free of cost. Of
course they are all invited to become
regular subscribers, but whether they do
or not, it is sent to them to call atten
tion to our healthy, fertile and sunny
land—a land abounding in all the nat
ural elements of prosperity—a land
where any man with a little common
sense and energy may grow rich in a
reasonable lime.
The advantages and resources of this
city and county are more numerous than
those of any other portion of our own or
the adjoining States. Heavily timbered,
good water, rich, cheap lands, that grow
well anything that may be profitably
raised, offers superior inducements to
farmers, duirymen and fruit growers,
while our vast stores of minerals, our
location—in the heart of the most rap
idly developing portion of the South
offer every advantage to all classes of
manufacturing.
Read the paper, then hand it to your
neighbor.
Come and see our country, and you
will soon decide that “the half has never
been told.”
TRUCK FARMING IN THE SOUTH.
An illustration of the profitableness of
truck growing in the South is given by
the Charleston News and Courier in the
following:
“It is a cold and substantial fact that
two farmers in the neighborhood of
Charleston have cleared over $30,000
this year by their vegetables alone. To
take another instance, there is a man
who last year was in debt to the tune of
over SI,OOO, and who even hired the
land that he farmed. This year lie went
to work again, and has not only paid all
his expenses, but has discharged his old
<k‘bt and lias about SI,OOO to his credit
in bank besides.”
THE BRIGHTENING FUTURE.
The man who is not hopeful now, in
regard to the future of our country is
certainly a constitutional grunter.
With a quickening pulse in almost every
branch of trade and manufacture—with
bountiful crops in prosp*ct. and a better
feeling between the sections politically
than we have seen since the war—with a
stronger confidence than ever in the suc
cess and perpetuity of our Republican
form of government —there is little reason
to doubt that our wholecountry is enter
ing upon anew era of prosperity.
The iron and steel manufacturers have
virtually surrendered —a fact of itself in
dicative of improving conditions in that
brauch of trade. The supplies of iron on
hand are small, and extensions of rail
roads. are steadily being made, so that,
in spite of tariff agitation, there is really
a better outlook for the iron and steel
traders than some suppose. The truth is
there is so little difference, in reality, be
tween the two parties, that business men
have little fears of any very great and
sudden changes, calculated to unsettle
the general business interests of the
country.
The indications now point to the con
struction of a more extended railroad
mileage this year than was at one time
expected. The over-construction of rail
roads of late years has been an evil, in
some points at least. This year’s con.
struction will probably reach 10,000
miles, against 13,000 last year; but the
extensions now being made are, for the
most part, in accordance with conserva
tive business principles.
The tariff agitation will soon be over.
The present Congress will not do any
thing with it, and the Congress to be
chosen in November will not convene be
fore December, 1889, unless there should
be an extra session, and it could make
no change to affect the country for good
or bad before 1890.
There is not likely to be any change in
the admininistration of the government,
and if there should be, it would not check
public confidence, or interfere with the
onward movements of trade.
Especially is the outlook promising for
the South. Our Northern friends are
rapidly learning that their politicians
and newspapers have deceived them, and
that the South is the most law-abiding
and thoroughly civilized section of the
country. They have also learned that
ours is not a vast expanse of swamps,
lagoons and flat rice and cotton planta
tions, but that our mountains and for
ests filter the atmosphere in summer,
and give us the most delightful and
healthful of climates —that our winters
are cold enough to be enjoyable, but not
sufficient to interfere with outdoor work.
Hence they are seeking it as a place of
refuge from the blizzards of their native
States.
But we are spreading too much. The
outlook in the main seems favorable.
The commercial night seems far spent
and the day at hand.
AN EDITOR KICKS.
The editor of the Griffin Sun must'
have some funny folks to deal with. He
lets them know that while, editors may
“gas” a little sometimes, yet they can
not live entirely on wind.
“It is strange how widely prevalent
and deeply rooted is the ideathat anews
paper is a sort of an eleemosynary enter
prise, and that it should be conducted
by the publisher solely for the advance
ment of the interests of other people,
without regard to the condition of his
own pocket. People, otherwise honest
and sensible, will go into a newspaper
office, if they happen to know the pub
lisher or editor, ask for a paper and
walk out without any thought of pay
ing for it. Business men will send in for
a paper containing a certain article they
want to send off to somebody, and think,
because they are subscribers to the
paper or advertise in it, that it is ‘small
business to ask them to pay forit.’ How
would the same idea work with any
other business? Do people make a prac
tice, for instance, of sending to a grocery
store for an occasional pound of sugar,
and expect to get it free simply because
they deal there. Is a drug store exjiec
ted to make no charge for occasional
glasses of soda water its consumers
drink? Would anybody expect to go
into a cigar store at any time through
the day and help himself to a cigar with
out pay for it. simply because he bought
a cigar from the same store every morn
ing? The sale of papers and of adver
tising space constitute a publisher’s only
source of revenue, and there is no more
reason why he should give away either
than that a tailor should give a suit
of clothes to anybody who wanted one
or a grocer a barrel of flour, or that a
lawyer should give legal advice free, or a
physician write prescriptions without
charge.”
“THE GENERAL.”
Many of our older citizens will remem
ber something of the history of the W.
& A. Railroad locomotive named “The
General,” which was captured by a bold
and risky body of disguised Union sol
diers under Capt. Andrews, at Big Shanty
during the war, and the exciting race
that resulted in the recapture of the
engwie and most of the party.
“The General” will be loaued by Gov
ernor Brown to the Grand Army of the
Republic, to be on exhibition at then
national encampment at Columbus, Ohio,
in October next, and will be an object of
great interest to the veterans.
