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. R. H. Jones, Ch’n. R. 1. Battle, Sec’y. 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 shi.D in a £1.50 Cleveland plug, thanks 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. tvteaal Warner’s Loo Cabin Remedies. —“Sarsapari 1- ala,” —“Longhand Con sumption Remedy,”— “Hopsand Bucliu.”—“Ex tract,”— ’Hair Tonic,”— “Liver Pills,’—“Plas ters,” (Porous-Elect rical), “Rose Cream,” for Catarrh.
