The critics are playing sad havoc with
the bea&tjful H[**eeh recently delivered h.v
Maj. McKinley at Chautauqua.
The alliterative campaign scribbler in
abroad. Hear him in an exchange:
“Thurman’s triumphant tour thrills the
thronging thousands.
R. M. Townbidge, a collector for the
Equitable accident insurance company,
at Chattanooga, has been arrested on a
charge of embezzlement, which he denies.
,lay Gould gives it as his opinion that
the Presidential election will not affect
the business interests of the country, no
matter which party is successful. The
conservative element of both paities
agree with him.
The prohibitionists of the third dis
trict of Tennessee held a convention in
Chattanooga on Saturday, and nomi
nated Judge Lewis Shepard as their can
didate for Congress, and Hon. A. L.
Spears, of Jasper, for State Senator.
Speak nit Carlisle says he is willing to
meet Rlaine on the stump. If Blaine
takes up the gauntlet, it will be the
grandest forensic display since the days
of Webster, Clay and Calhoun and will
he t he memorable event of the campaign
of 1888.
The Central Railroad and Banking
company of Georgia has bought the
bonds of the Cincinnati, Selma and
Mobile railroad. The transfer was made
last week. Between $1 200,000 and sl,-
500,000 worth of bonds were bought at
about fifty cents on the dollar.
After a manful struggle of some
months the bright little Atlanta Capitol
succumbed to the inevitable last week,
and threw up the sponge. There are few
harder workers than Manager Atwood
in this country, and you may depend
upon it that he won’t remain down very
long. -
M ex of the border States, and “pivotal"
States, where political excitement runs
high, will find a quget and happy refuge
from it all by coming to our good old
State of Georgia. Here every man thinks
and votes as he pleases, without disturb
ing the repose of his neighbor, or being
disturbed himself.
Large co-operative building societies
have built whole towns in the midlands
of England. The savings of the wage
earner can.in no way be used so as to
benefit himself and the place he resides in
so effectually as in a co-operative build
ing association. It has been often tried
and fully proven.
The troubles between races at St. Mar
tinsville, La., have been quieted by the
whites disarming the negroes, without
more loss of blood than the wounding of
one negro in the arm, though a number
of shots were exchanged. Several of the
colored leaders were escorted out of the
parish, and warned not to return.
A negro man was lynched near Rock
mart last Saturday night, by hanging
from the railroad trestle, for the com
mission of an infamous outrage. "When
will people learn that immediate death
is the penalty for this class of crimes—
for which both white and black men are
being summarily dealt with almost (‘very
day. *
At Athens, Friday, Judge Howard Van
Epps, in speaking of Maj. McKinley's
speech, said that, as a speech against
free trade, he considered it very strong
and replete with argument, but that it
hardly touched the real issue between the
two parties. A prominent Athenian was
heard to say that he considered Judge
Van Epps’ speech much the finer of the
two.
The Democratic primary in Fulton,
county last Saturday resulted in the
choice of Mr. Rice by a majority of 305
over Judge Hammond for State Senator.
It is conceded on all hands to Rave been
u fair election. Though supported
mainly by the “antis,” a considerable
number of prohibitionists also voted for
Rice. A primary will be held on Septem
ber 25th to select candidates for the
House of Representatives.
Che Courant-American has not much
time nor apace to devote to politics.
There is already a great deal of unneces
sary agitation. Georgia is all safe for
Cleveland and the reform policy of the
Democratic party. Hence, we can give
tlie more attention to the more import
ant aiatter of building up the material
interests of our Sunny South, and especi
ally the grand old county of Bartow.
JACKSONVILLE’* HCOUttCiK.
A dispatch of Saturday night from
Jacksonville, Fla., says: It is four weeks
to-day since the first case of yellow fever
was brought to this city. There is a
gratifying decrease of new cases to-day.
Only seven are renorted, tour in a single
family in one house in east .Jacksonville.
No deaths occurred. A fireman was taken
to St. Luke’s hospital apparently in a
dying condition, but with the care of Dr.
Fernandez and faithful nursing he has
rallied. Two cases were discharged
cured, neither being well developed cases.
The following is the report to this date:
Total cases, 91; under treatment, 39;
deaths, 12; discharged cured, 20. This
does not include cases at Greenland
which were all in one house among
refugees. The city sexton this week re
ports only thirteen deaths in the city,
of which lour were from yellow fever.
This does not include three deaths at
Sand Hills hosuital from yellow fever.
The following are the seven cases repor
ted to-dav: William Craugh, from 34
West Union street; Jose Bartholdt, from
Grand Union hotel; Inez Rosignold,
Aaron Rosignold, William Rosignold,
Clarke Rosignold, east Jacksonville;
Hugh I). Roberts, from 107 Forsyth
street. Died, none. Discharged, Miss
Kate Hendrick and Frank Perry. There
were nine new cases reported yesterday,
as follows: Rurton Mayo, colored; Fan
nie and Grace Harden, two children, cor
ner of Pine and Forsyth; Miss McCraig,
corner of Pine and Forsyth; Henry Mc-
Guire, no number; Mr. F. E. Bogue, 42
West State street, a leading Bay street
furniture dealer; Miss Minnie Bours, 87
East Adam Htreet; Mrs. F. A. Bogart,
07 East Monroe street, and Emilio Gas
tello, 31 East Adam street. Died, two
—E. W. Dixon, jeweler, at St. Luke's
hospital, and Fireman Craugh, who was
taken sick yesterday. A yellow fever
patient was also brought down from
Boulogne quarantine camp on the train
and was sent to the hospital.
Great consternation was created last
Friday when the S. F. & IV. It. It. refused
to receive passengers to leave the city.
The company’s reason was that they
were not allowed to pass through other
places. The company simply runs a mail
train to fulfill contracts. The United
States government has chartered a train
from the road and will run it daily from
Jacksonville to Boulogne, leaving there
at about 1:30 p. in., each day. Passage
to the camp will be provided by the gov
ernment free, the only requisite being
certificates from the board of health as
to freedom from disease. Passengers
must, however, satisfy the board that
they intend going there simply for quar
antine purposes. After a period of ten
days, during which the passenger is kept
at the government’s expense, he is dis
charged and may go on to any part of
the country at will. Baggage can either
be kept at Waycross or forwarded to
Savannah after fl%nigation.
THK LAST 311 ,%S YGK.
Cleveland’s last message is a stunner.
It comes as the result of a partisan Sen
ate's refusal to ratify the treaty recently
negotiated between this country and
Great Britain on the fisheries question.
The old treaty as it stands, empowers
the President to retaliate upon Canada
for any bad treatment to our American
fishermen; blit it was better to settle the
impending difficulties by an amendment
of the treaty Since the Senate refused
to ratify the amended treaty, the Presi
dent promptly comes to the rescue of
American interest by taking such action
as will protect them.
The country is fortunate in having a
President who is truly American, and
who has backbone sufficient to give John
Bull to understand, and that promptly,
that the rights of our citizens will be
jealously guarded and protected by the
government.
Of course the Republican leaders will
try to falsify the true situation in order
*o hide their own failure 1o come to the
rescue, but they will not be able to do it.
The country isrealizing more and more
every day that we have at last put a
man iu the White House who is a real
chief- magistrate—a President in the
true sense of the word.
ROME’S EXPOSITION.
Our people must not forget the North
Georgia and Alabama Exposition, at
Rome, October Ist to October 13th.
Bartow should be liberally represented
in the general display.
Thousands of visitors from a distance
will visit this exposition to see some
thing of the products of North Georgia,
and it would be a great mistake torus to
miss the opportunity of advertising our
city, which this fair would afford.
The premium list is very bberal,
amounting to s>lo,ooo. We must have
some of those premiums.
Judge Hook, State school commis
sioner, has decided to keep in future a
complete list of applications made by
teachers for positions in schools, and of
schools in search of teachers. Informa
tion of this character will be furnished on
application. The judge and Mr. Orr are
busy as bees now computing the school
population of the S*ate. Their report
may be relied on as the result of accurate
and painstaking work, and will be ready
now in a short while.
Mr J. H. Bass, of Indiana, said to be
the greatest manufacturer of car wheels
in the world, is in favor of the Mills bill,
as he believes it would promote the pros
perity of manufacturers’
Urtmiifl Floor Yet.
A Northern correspondent writes to
know if there is still a chance to “get in
on the ground floor'’ at CartersviHe.
Yes.
While choice central property is held
at figures that seem high in comparison
with a few years back: yet, considering
everything it is low yet. while splendid
property just out of the centre and
bordering the suburbs can be bought at
very low prices.
It is true that some property has al
ready more than doubled in value in a
few months, but the truth is, it is mostly
yet on ground floor prices.
In manufacturing enterprises, and
many lines of business there is plenty of
room on the ground floor; and big in
ducements are offered for the location of
all kinds of manufactures.
Our advice is, to come—view the
ground. Take a look at the mountains
of rich minerals, the rich farming lands;
quaff the splendid water, inhale the
healthful breezes, enjoy the delightful
climate fora season; and then look at
the map—consider the wonderful possi
bilities of our thriving city, and you will
soon decide that there are finer oj>en
ings for live, energetic men right here,
than are to be found the
country.
A rill is now before the United States
Senate, which proposes, in effect, to merge
all mail matter in the present third and
fourth classes into one class, with a uni
form rate of one cent for each two ounces
or fraction thereof. This bill allows the
sending of certain articles of merchandise
through the mails at half the rate now
charged, and will greatly benefit some
branches of business.
A gentleman near LaCrosse, Schley
county, was boring a well not long since,
when the anger broke off about twenty
feet down and he was in a dilemma as to
how to proceed with his work when a
happy thought struck him. He got
some one to tie a rope around his heels
and let him down head foremost, when
he got the broken tool and was soon
safely landed on “terra firma,”

IN MEMORY OF ELIZABETH SPROULL,
Who departed this life July 23d, 1888, aged (is
years, three months and twenty-three days. She
has gone to that upper and better world, where
all who lived the life she lived go. She was loved
by all who knew her, both friends and relatives.
She was a member of the Presbyterian church at
Euharlee, Ga.., since 1854, and lived up to the
rules ot the church of her choice. She leaves one
brother and two sisters, and many nieces and
nephews, to mourn her death. She was interred
p the old family graveyard near McGinnis, Ga.,
known as the Sproull graveyard.
Once more our hearts are burdened
With the weary weight of woe.
Once more a home-taced loved one
From our circle called to go.
Once more the gates are opened
In the home of angels blest;
Once more the heavy laden
And the weary have found rest.
Like a. lily, pure and spotless,
She has laded from our sight;
Sickness, sorrow, pain can never,
Reach her in that world of light.
One Who Loved Her.
