The last grand charge in the political battle is now being made. Congress, yes, by the way, Congress has adjourned. Had you thought of it? Beast Butler has crawled out of his hole at last, and pronounced himself for Harrison. Next Tuesday will tell what effect Mr. Blaine’s sophistry and demagoging has on an intelligent people. C. C. Tolbert, a railroad watchman at one of the street crossings in Atlanta, was run over and killed while on duty last Friday. Judge W. M. Sessions having with drawn from the race tor the judgeship of the Northern Circuit, Col. Will J. Winn will have a walk-over. Col. .Teems Blaine will wind up his labors for t lieg. o.p. (gone out of power) party this week, unless he is appointed to preach the funeral after next Tuesday. Young Charlie Hill is said to have made as great a speech in the Eddleman case as his father, Ben Hill, ever made, but it didn’teouut tor much with the jury. The first cargo of pig iron from the Birmingham and Chattanooga district shipped to Philadelphia, reached that city last week. There were 2,100 tons of it. The total visible supply of cotton tor the world is 1,529,020 bales, of which 1,307,420 bales are American, against 2,239,047 bales and 1,718,347 bales re spective 1 stxoar. It is said that Rev. Mr. Latham, the newly elected member of the Mouse from Cherokee county, had never subscribed for a newspaper, or been in a printing office until after his election. The ticket selected by the barroom party of Atlanta, seems to be gradually going to pieces. The conservative tick et, selected without regard to the prohi bition question, will doubtless be elected by a sweeping majority. A full blooded African prince is now in this country. He is ning years old and his father is king of the Lonagon coun try. A young German of Columbus, Ind., while exploring in his country, got the young chap to accompany him home. The trial of George Eddleman for the killing of Tom Gresham, occupied the at tention of the public of Atlanta for sev eral days, and resulted in a verdict of “not guilty," and now there seems to be a wide-spread opinion that the jury was not all straight, and the verdict is boldly pronounced an outrage. Curious to some may seem the state ment that in West Virginia and New Jersey, the Democrats in a triumph in the race for State Legislators, have a stake to play scarcely less valuable than in the securing of the electoral vote for Cleveland. Should Cleveland be elected and these two States send Democrats to represent them in the Senate that body would be a tie politically and the casting vote would be lodged in the vice-presi dent, Allen G. Thurman. If, on the other hand, Senator McPherson’s successor is a Republican the Senate will have a Re publican majority of one, and with a Democratic president, in case of Cleve land’s election, this would be an object worth while attaining. Hence the im portance of the New Jersey Legislature, and politicians of both parties are so much alive to that fact that it is in this State, especially, almost as great an issue as the national election. #I.OO A YEAR.

SAM JONES AT DURHAM. The Durham newspapers come to us daily with elaborate accounts of a great meeting nowin progress theie, and being conducted by Rev. Sam Jones of this city. We cull a few extracts from the columns of the Daily Tobacco Plant: ••Soon after dark Saturday evening, people from all sections of Durham turned their steps towards Parrish’s warehouse —some with sharp curiosity and some with the spirit of prayer—and on and on flowed the tide of humanity towards the common centre, until a veritable sea of faces were looking upon the platform that had been erected for the occasion. The time which thousands lmd antici pated with eagerness was fast approach ing—the hour when Rev. Sam P. Jones, the far-famed evangelist, would begin a series of meetings in our town. - ’ “Notwithstanding the inclement weath er, there was a very large attendance upon the services last night. There is an attraction about the preaching of Mr. Jones that as difficult to explain. Some one has aptly described this fascination to a fellow getting on a spree. He takes one drink and then wants another, and after he has taken the second he don’t care how many he takes. You hear Sam Jones once, you are drawn, to hear him again, and then you want to go every time he preaches. The best of all, how ever, is that God is blessing the efforts of the preacher to point sinners to the Lamb of God that taketli away the sin of the world.” •‘Disagreeable overhead and underfoot it was last night, but thousands again congregated at the great meeting and had it been revealed what a glorious, heavenly scene would transpire during the closing minutes ot the service, hun dreds, it not thousands would have been turned away for lack of room. The Spirit of God was there and poured out his Yich benedictions to overflowing. What a scene! We had never witnessed the like before. The most descriptive pen would fail to picture the joyful reality; the most fluent tongue would be at a loss to express the emotions that found de monstration in tears and hallelujahs; the most artistic brush would be power less to paint the heavenly light that fell upon the hearts and minds of hundreds in the vast congregation. Durham was closer to Heaven than it has ever been before. It was a grand triumph over sin ! It was a glorious conquest for God! It was a season of refreshing to Christians! It was an oc casion of deep concern to sinners!’’ “After the sermon there was presented a scene that brought joy to human hearts and that must have caused the angels of God to strike a louder note of praise to the Savior of men. More than a hundred persons, mostly young men, took the front*seats, thereby manifesting their desire for salvation and eighty-nine per sons gave their names for church mem bership.” That pa per gives each day several columns about the meetings, the sermons and the preacher. Like everybody else the tar heels are stuck on our Sam. F. L. Stanton’s work on the Tribune of Rome, adds much to the life and vivac ity of that excellent paper. There is constant danger from fire, on account of people smoking on the cotton platform at the depot. The law against it must be enforced. A HIT OF BOOMATIC DIPLOMACY. Our neighbor, Cedartown, well known as the home of Mr. A. G. West, a promi nent iron man and late president of the East &. West Railroad of Alabama, and an important station and shipping point on the line, has her sails set to the wind ward, as is thought by some of her citi zens, and is now voyaging on to Ihe port of greatness. Those who affect to man the barque, if they show a peculiar phase in their enterprise, it is to not let an ad vantage escape that might inure to the good of their purpose if any manner of movement would aid them to grasp it. In their rather wild zeal, they seem to have been guilty of a little previousness, so to speak, (didn’t even wait till the “Ball was in motion”) as we gather from circumstances mentioned by the Standard of Saturday, which says: “Yesterday morning a committee of representative men called on Col. Ball at the Booz house, andexpressed to him for Cedartown. the hope that he would find his new position one of profit and pleas ure, and that the people of Cedartown might see him among us and form mutually agreeable acquaintance. Major Thos. H. Booz introduced the visitors to Col. Ball, and did Ihe honors of the hostelry in his usual urbane man ner, and Col. Miller A. Wright opened tire upon the receiver at once, in behalf ofCedartown, the keystone of the system, and most important city and shipping point on the entire line. T am delighted to meet you, gentle men,’ said the new receiver, cordially, ■‘l have often heard and read of your wonderful section of country up here, and have desired to visit and see for myself its manifold advantages and riches.’ ‘Well, Colonel,’ rernrrked Col. Miller Wright, ‘you must let Cedartown see you freq <ien 11y. We 1 1 a.ve th e 1 a rgest shi ppi ng point on your entire length of road —and think that our town should receive bene ficial consideration from the East & West, which is virtually a Cedartown road. We ship doubly or trebly more freight than even Cartersville. ’ ‘Col. Ball will find the statistical figures at the company’s office,’ interjected Mr. T. M. Pace, ‘and will find that we ship as much freight over the East A: West in one day as Cartersville does in a mouth. Of course he will understand the benefits the road receives from Cedartown and do for us accordingly, 1 suppose.’ ‘The road and its business are both new and unfamiliar to me, gentlemen,’ replied Col. Ball, “and I am hardly in a position to make any statements or promises Ido not formally take charge ot the East & West until November Ist, only a few days hence. But, in the mean time, I assure you that the policy of the road and its managers shall be such as will redound to the interest and profit of all the towns along its line. While the road strives for its own prosperity, it will at the same time try to assist in the prosperity of Cedartown by every means in our power. The prosperity of its patrons is absolutely necessary to the prosperity of any railroad, and I fully appreciate the value of Cedartown to the East & West.’ ” In the fullness with which it gathered the facts, the Standard leads the reader to the inference that the headquarters in their present location act as a kind of thorn in Cedartown boomatie flesh. Col. Rail, in his replies seems to have evinced a kind of non-committal courtesy that shows he is not a stranger to the varied tactics of men, as many a man under like surprising and overwhelming advances would have been taken sud denly off his “kerzip.” What more could he have said? What less could he have said ? Rather surprising to the observer with a memory is the rapidity and cornplete 'ness of the transformation in boomatic minds ot the floundering wrath that ob tained a year ago, when the few tables and desks went aboard the train and the two or three families proceeded to change their abode, to thatcommon commodity taffy. At the time referred to it will be remembered a stirring effort was made to carry the business ot the town entire to the then incompleted C. R. A C., and later President Williamson, *e are in formed, was pressed to iocate the shops or offices of the road there with a prom ise that the business ot the town and all possible contiguous points should be given it. The real wherefore of the original plac ing of the headquarters at Cedartown lay in the fact of Mr. West, the original owner, having his interests there. Other wise the place would not have been thought of in such a connection. If he bad located at Esom Hill or Fish Creek, the result would have been the same. Since the little system has broadened in importance, and the principal offices placed at Cartersville, occurs forcibly to the unbiased sagacious observer this thought: Why wasn’t it done before? Cartersville is the most desirable point, lor these as well as other reasons: It is the more important town by far in point of available surroundings, pres ent status and future outlook. It is the end of filesystem, and thereby the better point from which to direct its affairs. It is more accessible to the various large shipping points which are the fac tors in the existence of its business. It has better telegraphic anil mail facil ities, getting four mails per day from points from which Cedartown receives one. The Gainesville extension, a necessity and also as good as a certainty, will be in a manner a distinct system, and the relative businesses of the two lines can be governed with more satisfaction from this point. As to the statement made, perhaps without sober reflection, regarding the relative freights of the two towns, we have gained enough from a cautiously reticent office force to warrant the state ment that it is a gross exaggeration. DON’T FORGET TO VOTE. Th<‘ presidential election takes place next Tuesday, Nov. 6th. Don’t forget it. Don’t neglect it be cause it may not seem necessary. It is important to roll up the usual Demo cratic majority in Georgia. The Empire State of the South should be the banner Democratic State of the Union. Texas is making another grand effort for this proud distinction. Let Georgia Democrats turn out to a man, and claim the banner. Georgia has advanced more in material prosperity during Cleveland’s adminis tration than during any other four years since the war. All classes of people have enjoyed peace and prosperity. Let us show our appreciation of the blessings of good government by giving him a larger majority than ever. Don’t stay at home and say, “my vote is not needed.” A small vote would show a lack of interest that would, just at this rime, reflect upon the intelligence and patriotism of the people of any of the States. The great question btffore the people now is not really so much “protection” and “free trade” as it is reform in the administration of governmental affairs. Considering the fact that the administra tion has been hampered by a Republican majority in the Senate, a long stride has been taken in that direction; but the work has only now fairly begun. Let every Democrat in Bartow county turn out and vote. IMPORTANT I O “NO FENCE” COUNTIES AND DISTRICTS. For the information of the readers of theCouRANT-AMEHiuAN. we copy from the acts of the last Legislature those sections bearing upon gates on public highways from “no fence” counties or districts. “Sec. 1. That from and after the pas sage of this act, it shall be lawful for any person living on or near the line, and owning or controlling land in any coun ties and districts in this State, in one of which the “fence law” is of force, and the adjoining counties and districts have adopted the “no fence” law, that person or persons in either county shall be al lowed to erect on any highway or public road on the line of said county and dis tricts gates, which gates shall be self latching, opening each way, and shall be kept in good repair by the person or per sons so erecting said gates, and upon failuretodosothe same shall be removed as other obstructions across public roads, and said person or persons shall have hitching posts placed on each side of said gate or gates.” Sec. 2. That after said gates shall have been so erected, should any person or persons open and leave the same open, or in a condition for stock to enter, that said person or persons shall be guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction be punished as prescribed in Section 4310 of the Code.” She Could. Walk as Well as Ever. I have used Salvation Oil for rheuma tism iu the feet and after several appli eitions was entirely relieved ot pain and could walk as well as ever. Mrs. Ann R. Watkins, 30 Cumberland St., Baltimore, Md. A Good Show. The performance of the Weston Bros, at the opera house Tuesday night was refined, meritorious and highly enter taining. The play, the “Way of the World” contained just enough of the amusing, was not without its deep pathos—and in fact was minus a tire some phase. Morris Weston is a good actor, the company hasn’t a sorry per former, and the distinctive manner in which several assumed their double roles was marvelous. The musical features were splendid. Sam Weston on the cor net, banjo and imitations on the violin proved himself a regular “brick.” The house was a very good one and the per formance was worthy of it. The R. H_ Jones & Sons Manufacturing Cos. They are well known all over the South as the manufacturers of the best vehicles on the market, from a handsome pleasure carriage to the useful and practical farm wagon, one and two-horse. They under take to duplicate the work of any first class manufacturers in the country in price quality and finish. 'They are truly a home enterprise—they get their wood from our mountain forests at home and the work is done by home labor, and therefore the money is kept at home and circulates here to the benefit of home neople, supporting and populating our own country and developing its resources and building up our own homes. When we buy goods made elsewhere, we send our money away to build up other sec tions, This is not wise or politic. We should by all means help every worthy enterprise in our midst, and thereby helo ourselves and build up at home. This house has always maintained their in tegrity and sustained a reputation for buildingthe best work. They are worthy of and entitled to the trade of tin’s coun try. Call and examine their work and get their prices before buying. They are building wagons in great quantities, and a v e making the best wagon on the mar ket—the best is the cheapest. tf Consumption Surely Cured.
