COURANT- AMERICAN. P’-u.'bllwYxed. Every TlxiaxsAa-y. CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA. Official Oriran of Bartow Connty. rM G | Editors end Proprietor.. THURSDAY, MARCH 17,1887. Chabtlow H. Way, of Savannah, has Vieen appointed Consul Geueral at St. Petersburg, vice General Pierce M. B. Young, resigned. The private funeral services over the remains of the Rev. Henry Wardßeecn er took place on last Thursday. The body was then carried to Plymouth church where it lay iu state uutil Friday evening. Court the capitalist. Show hint what laud you’ve got And if he wants to buy trade with him. This is what is necessary to develop our gvand old county and set her to booming right along. Capt, James B. Fades, the gieat civil engineer who constructed the jettie be low New Orleans, and promoted the scheme for a ship railroad across the Isthmus of Panama, died at Nassau on the Bth instant. Capt. Fades was one of the m<>st distinguished of American en gtneers, and was constantly engaged in some great work like the spleudid bridge over the Mississippi at St. Louis, the jettie at the mouth of that river, or, the tremendous undertaking of a ship railway across the Isthmus, which, for the past live years, bus occupied most of bis time. Mrs. Lucy Parsons, the anarchist’s wile, turns up In prison. She secured an armory at Columbus, Ohio, the other day to speak in, hut when it was learned who the speaker was to be, the armory was refused. At this Mrs. Parsons grew furi ous and insisted that she would speak in the armory, threatening to smash the door if necessary to gain admittance. She was very properly placed under arrest for dis orderly conduct, and telegraphed to her husband that she had been arrested to prevent her speaking, thus passing as a martyr to the cause of free speech. The right of free speech seems to ;be about as safe us ever it was, but if this Mrs. Par sons and her kin and kind had their way, the right of the people to exercise owner ship and control over, their property would not be free, nor the property safe. The Legislature of Missouri, has decid ed that it does not want any militia if a militia costs anything. All the militia regiments in the State, five in number, have decided if their services are not worth the $50,000 asked for to maintain equipments and armories they are worth nothing, and have disbanded. This leaves the state absolutely defenseless against mobs and riots if mobs and riots should occur. As they have occurred in the past, when there was a millitia, it is reasonable to suppose that they will be greatly increased by the absence of any military force at all. A single riot would likely cost the state of Missouri ten times the $50,000 demanded, as the price of maintaining the organizations. There is a kind of economy which is worse than the greatest extravagance, and the penurious Missouri legislature seems to have exercised first that particular kind of economy in the nature of militia. A BROOM FACTORY. For the amount of money invested it is stated from everyday experience, that a broom factory pays the handsomest divi dends than any of the small industries. The amount necessary to establish and put one in operation is scarcely any and the amount of good healthy profitable employment is simply astonishing. From Mr. Stoketey, of Acworth, who was in Cartersville one day last week, selling the product of his factory, we learn that the machinery necessary to fit up his es tablishment did not cost five hundred dollars! llis factory employs several men who get good wages, and a drummer is kept on the road nearly all the time and finds no trouble in keeping orders ahead of the factory’s capacity. It seems to us that such an institution could do well here. It is true it may seem smaller than a steel plant or a rolling mill, but it employs labor and pays handsome wages. The owner comes in for a most handsome profit on his investment. It is the small industries that build up a com munity, and we hope to see some of our capitalists put the ball of progress in motion by etablishing a broom factory in Cartersville. To the farmers of Bartow w will say that broom corn grows to perfection in this county. We saw some in our depot, being shipped to the Acworth factory, that was raised by Mr. Henry Stiles, which good. There was money in planting broom corn, even if it has got to be shipped off to the factories. It will grow well in Bartow county beyond doubt. A farmer at Mayesville, S. C., asks the Southern Cultivator the following questions and received the following answers relative to the questions: 1. The kind of land; how to manure, when to plant, and how to cultivate? 2. How to prepare for market, and where is there a good market? 3. llow much seed to plant on acre? Answer. —1. Good corn land, plant and cultivate like sorghum, leaving one stalk in hills a foot apart; any manure good for com will answer. 2. As soon as the plant is in full b’oom cut the heads off, leaving about six inches of stalk attached, and cure in shade, on racks, having the layers not over three or four inches thick. Lay the heads smooth and straight on the racks, and if the weather is not favorable open and replace the layers from time to time to facilitate the curing. After it is cured put up in small bales like hay, having care that the brush does not become tangled. Broom factories are springing up all over the country and opening markets for the brush. 3. About a half bushel of seed will be required io plant an acre. It is better to use an abundance, because the seed do not always germinate well. C. T. Jones has a fine stock of family groceries, staple dry good, grain, hay, brim peas, ike , which he will sell you light—he will not be undersold, and don’t 3 ou forget that fact. (IVtillo’s old corner) mch 17-6 t. TIIE CLAIMS OF MEXICAN VET ERANS. The Atlanta Constitution states that it has news from Washington that it may be two years before the names of Mexi can veterans can be placed upon the pension rolls. Immediately after the passage of the bill, Commissioner Black asfeed Congress for an appropriation sufficient to employ several hundred clerks, for a period of five mouths, to ex amine and report upon tho Mexican pen sion claims. This force was intended exclusively to work upon these claims, and would have formed a separate division in the peusiou bureau. The money wus to be appropriated in the deficiency bill, which, it will be remembered, failed to receive the President’s signature, aud of course did not become a law. In conse quence of that fact Mexican peusiou ap plications, instead of being expediter! as faat as that number of clerks could perform the work, will be compelled to tune their place iu the regular order of business, 2nd can not be reached uutil the great volume of ether claims now ahead of them can be acted upou. This is a great misfortune to these froety huired veterans, many of whom are iu actual need of the pittance allowed them by the Fill just passed. The bill in itself is too illiberal in its provisions, now, and for the aged beneficiaries under it, to be forced to wait two years before they cau enjoy the benefits that should accrue to them at once, does not seem right. The government has delayed too long already to reward the heroes of this war, who did their country such noble, brave and patriotic service. This Announcement however, should not delay applicants iu filiug their claims as their pensions only dates from the filiug of the application and proof of service. The sooner it is filed the earlier it will come in its order to be acted upou. JL b blend id imtro vement. This may almost be called the day of railroad acoideuts. Scarcely a week passes without its record of horrors ou some railroad. The onuses are various. Among them we sometimes find the de fective orosstie, the spreading rail, etc. A late patent by a former Georgian, now a citizen of Chattanooga, seems designed and adapted to remedy some of these de fects. It is an iron crosstie; this is a new idea lo many of our readers, but this is au age of progress aud many new things ooustautly appear. The tie referred to is of rolled iron, thus giving it the greatest strength with the smallest buttleness. It is certainly a good thing to have on curves and bridges; there especially the track needs strength. The iron tie will hold the rails so firmly that it is impossible foi them to spread, at the same time it will give a firmness aud strength to the track that is admirably designed to pre vent acoideuts. We are not sufficiently versed iu soientitto terms to explain the various advantages of this tie, but it is certainly au improvement which rail road managers should turu their atten tion to. The tie is the patent of Mr. Lewis Scofield, formerly connected with the Scofield rolling mills, of Atlanta, Ga. It is said that a large stock company is forming to manufacture them, aud that railroad men are considerably impressed with it. In this ago of rapid ideas as well as improved methods, it certainly behooves railroad managers to oast about for a better tie than the old wooded tie. Wouldn’t it l e a good idea, both for our town and the proposed company, to have them locate their works here where land, labor and all the accessories of a manufactory are so abuudaut and cheap? SITTING ON THE FENCE. Editors Coubant American: —I no tice in your paper that our ordinary as ordered an election on the question of “fence” or “no fence.” I regret that so much has been gotten up on this question, as it is one which so directly affects very citizen, both rich and poor; and that some have allowed themselves to be persuaded into the belief that this is a move in the interest of the rich man, to the iujnry of the poor. I, as one of the poor men of the county, have given this matter serious thought, weighing it care fully in reference to my own interest, as if I alone were interested, forgetting for the time that there are any rich men in the county. I own a very small place, all of which is cleared; my fences are very poor, by no means what would be considered a lawful fence The time is fast approaching when my troubles are to begin, keeping my neigh hors cows off my little growing crop. I have no woodland, from which to cut aud make rails, nor have I the money with which to buy posts, plank and rails to build anew fence. I may work hard and constantly lor four months —say until the first of July— and when my prospects for a fair return for my labor are bright, I may be raided on by cattle running on the commons, and in one night the labor of months is absolutely destroyed, and that without any remedy—crops destroyed in July, too kite to plant again, and thus one year’s work worse than lost; for I have con tracted debts for provisions, labor and fertilizers, and my only source of revenue, ray crops, oaten or destroyed by other men’s cattle. G oorny prospect indeed I How am I to meet these obligations ? Nor am I alone; there art in Bartow county many farmers situated as I am, they are not able to refence their lands, and they, like my self, are without fences —as effectually as if the no fence law existed, but have no protection against roving cattle. Many of these farmers would be glad to sell their farms, some of them to pay their debts, others because ot their inability to keep them up, but a purchaser cannot be found, because there is not enough timber on the place to rebuild the broken down fences. What are we to do? I ask: What is the little farmer, or the man of moderate means to do? He has a cow, and if the no fence law prevails what will he do with his cow? Can he not better afford to fence in three to five acres for a pasture for his own cow than to fence 200 acres to prevent oth r cows from pasturing on his crops? Any sensible man cau 6ee which is cheapest and best. The expense and trouble of repairing old fences is not the only argument in favor of no fence. After incurring the ex peuse, and doing all the work, the farmer often awakes to find his crops destroyed Take into account another item: the old rails on one of these small farms would be sufficient firewood for five years—lure is a saving ol at least $125, and this amount would be sufficient to enclose three or four lots of several acres each, giving him a rotation in his pastures, and the ground now occupied by the old fences will raise enough corn and peas to feed his cattle during the winter months after the pas tures are all eateD out. If the time now spent in patching up and building fences was spent in making fertilizers, at home, there would be no necessity for spending so much money for the commercial stuff which makes you poorer every year; the notes for which must be paid by the first of November. Whether cotton is high or low, it must be sold, and the poor farmer is often com pelled to see half his hard earnings go, like a morning’s dream, “o’er the hills and far away.” So much for the little farmer. What of the tenant farmer ? No fence is the very thing for him. The law’ provides for him and his cow: “Each owner or proprietor of lands in any militia disrrict, adopting the provisions of this act, who shall rent his lands, or establish a system of tenantry therein, shall furnish pastur age for, at least, one cow and calf for the family of each tenant, provided said ten ant shall do his proportionate part of fencing. Section 1455 of Code of Ga., 1882. I am satisfied the best thing the small farmer, whether he owns his farm or is only a tenant, whether white man or negro, can do to advance his interest is to vote for no fence, raise less cotton and more corn, peas, potatoes, oats and wheat; raise two or three hogs in pens or pastures instead of half raising twice that number in the woods. Keep one cow, keep her well, get double the quantity of milk they now get from 3 or 4 half starved cows who walk themselves to death hunting a bunch of grass, live easier, more contented, sleep soundly at night, knowing that every old break fence cow is securedly fenced in, that your crops are turned out to grow as high as they please, and that your potatoes and turnips can spread themselves without being compelled to push the fences out of their way. The rail splitter will find safer and better employment preparing the land for the next crop, making com post heaps and many other things that are now neglected on account of the time waisted in fence building. If half the time thus foolishly spent were well put in at something else it wou and clothe a small family, pay their taxes and educate their children. Such is the experience of all who have tried the no fence law. The farmers in South Carolina would not have fences if Georgia would send rails and men over there to build them free of charge. Poor men, rally on the fence and mash it down. I am One of You. LATEST NEWS. Tiling* anti Incident* For a Week. John Belvin, colored, of Americus, Ga., is something of a genius.

THJ£ MODERN PItODIOAL SOM. Bur Jett* in the Brooklyn Eagle. No, my son, it isn’t that the world has mrowa hard hearted, it isn’t that we are’nt just as glad to day to see the prodigal come back, aud just as lovingly anxious to welcome him home as ever wsb any body in the 15th chapter of Luke. It is the manner in which the Prodigal Son of 1887 frequently returns that throws a wet blanket over the festivities of the wel come. When he comes down the road with his hat hanging on his ear and his hands in his pocket; when he kicks the faithful house dog as he lounges in at the gate; when he calls his father “ Gov’ner,” and the hired man “Cul;” when he wants to know “what’s for dinner?” before he has been in the house fifteen minutes; when he gives his elder bro her two fingers to shake and adyises him to comb the hayseed out of his hair; when he throws himself into the easiest chair in the house, perches his feet on the window sill and announces that he’ll “take a tub be fore dinner;” when he comes back with a generally forgiving air of good fellowship about him and tries to make all the rest of the family feel very easy aud assured then it is , my son, that your father longs to run and meet you while you are a great way off and fall upon your neck with a plow line and welt you into a state of becoming humanity and penitence by the time yon are able to take off your hat to the bound boy and crawl up the fiont steps to ask your brother to shake hands with you. Good people are just as glad to-day as they ever were, my son, to see the prodigal come home; but it does rattle them a little to see him come home in a hack and ask them to pay the driver and sand for his baggage.

Iu a rfceut letter to a friend, the late Henry Ward Beecher stated his creed as follows: “The formulated doctrines, as I hold them, are: A personal God, creator and ruler over all things; the hurnau family universally sinful; the need and possi bility aud facts of conversion; the divine agency iu such a work; Jesus Christ the manifestation of God in human con ditions; His office iu redemption su preme. Ido not believe iu the Calvin iatic form of stating the atonement. I do not believe in the fall of tne human race iu Adam, and of course, I do not hold that Christ’s work was to satisfy the law brokeu by Adam for all his pos terity. The race was not lost, but has been ascending steadily from oreatiou. I am iu hearty accord with revivals and revival preaching, with the educating forces of the church, and iu sympathy with all ministers who in their several ways seek to build up meu into the image of Jesus Christ, by whose faithful ness, generosity, and love I hope to be saved aud brought home to heaven.” THAT HACKING COUGH can tie so quickly cured by Shi h’s Cure.
