Thr New York papers give currency to the report that Mr. Whitney,Secretary of the Navy, is soon to resign. It is pretty generally conceded that as sistant Secretary Fairchild will succeed Mr. Manning as chief of the treasury de partment. Emperor William received 1648 tele grams congratulating him on his ninetieth birthday anniversary. Of these 65 came from this side of the Atlantic. It is rnmored that Ex-Prasident llaoul, of the Central system of railroads, has been made president of the Mexican National Railway. The West Point, Ga., ootton mills were destroyed by fire on last Monday. Loss about 200,000, covered by in surance. _________ A Roman mineralogist has boeu feeling around the rocks near that city and claims to have discovered the pres ence of oil. Fusil oil has played a great part in Rome’s boom before. The Inter state Commerce law is to go into effect next week. In our humble opinion the law will proven failure and will be repealed in a very short time. The idea of three lawyers and two politicians running the railroads of this great and free republic! Simply ikticulous. Not satisfied with the deluge of Jim Brown Potter literature furnished the country the last few months, the daily papers are now marrying and unmarryiug Mrs. Langtry and Freddie Geohart. The Jersey fraud is now suing for a divorce from her hnsbaud, who is in Kuglaud,* preparatory to “hitching’’ on to the New York dnde. The following named gentlemen have been appointed by President Cleveland ns Inter-state Commerce commissioners: Thomas M. Cooley, of Michigan, for a term of six years; William It. Morrison, of Illinois, five years; Augustus Sclioeumaker, of New York, four years; Aldace F. Walker, of Vermont, three years; Walter L. Brgg, of Alabama, two years. L. M. Terrell, of Georgia, who was appointed as Superintendent of the Railway Mail Service and Post Office Inspector at a salary of $2,500, has resign ed. At the Department it is said that he became dissatisfied because his salary was reduced to $1,600, and, upon com plaining to the Postmaster General, he was promptly informed that he might re-ign, which he accordingly did, and his resignation was accepted. Mr. I. W. Nolen was a prosperous citizen of Butts couuty, and he and his wife were highly esteemed for their many good qualities. The good lady became sick with pneumonia a few weeks ngoaud last Saturday night was thought to be dying. The grief stricken husband watching the life stream of his loved one fast ebbing away, constantly at her side, was stricken with paralsys, and ere the dawn of morning the two souls had de parted from all earthly cares, and that day the ueghbors followed the remains of both to the hurrying grouud, where they were eonsigm dto a single grave. The husband was in splendid health up to the time of his sudden taking off; npploplexy is the cause assigned. “ Hello ! Rome.” “Hello, Boom, boom, boom.” “What's the news?” “Boom, boom, boom.” “What have voa got to boom ou?” “Boom, boom, boom.” “ Say, what have you got to boom on?” “Boom, boom, Round mountain iron works, dowu in Alabama, boom, boom, boo ui.” “Whut else have you got to boom on?” “Boom, boom, the greatest of all booms in the iron business—the grand Etowah property over at Cartersville, boom, boom, boom.” “What else?’’ “Well, well, well, ah, well, well, boom, boom, boom, there’s anew yank in town and he’s going to take an option ou another corner lot. Boom, boom, boom.” A regularly organized baud of daring burglats have been operating in different sections of Georgia. Town marshall Ilauie, of Gainesville, became suspic ious of two men aud followed them to Harmony Grove. After wating arouud awhile the two men went to work epeu iug up a merchant’s safe in which $1,500 was deposited and which the burglars wouli have soon gotten had not the fearless officer put in liis appearance. As the officer approached the building one of the burglars, who was on the lookout, began firing at him. A gen eral fusilade opened np out of which the marshall came without a scar while he brought dowu oue man. The burglar wa- mortally wounded aud made some important disclosures. The poetoffiee of Albany was broken open one day last week, aud the people of that whole section turned out tocipture the burg lars. Sheriff Hurst accompanied by a citizen, came up on two men, who were trying to leave ou a freight train. After much tiring the sheriff was badly wounded :iu the shoulder, while oue cf the burglarß was shot in severul places, lie wrs not captured, however, until lie became so weakened from the loss of blood, several hoars after the shooting. The gang now opeiating in the State are a desperate set, well organized and liable to attact any community without a mo ments notice. Any Simi.ll Boy, with a Stick, c m kill a tiger,-—if the tiger happens to l*e found when only a little cub. So con sumption, that deadliest aud most feared of diseases, in that country, can assuredly be conquered and destroyed if Dr. Pierce’s “Golden Medical Discovery” be employed early. OUR CITY COURT. Iu another column will be found a ver) interesting article ou our City Court. Mr. T. W. Akin shows by figures that cannot be questioned that this court is almost iudispeusable to the tax payers if I'arlow couuty. He shows the relative expense of running the court, as com pared to that of our Superior court. No unprejudiced man can read Mr. Akin’s figures and not be convinced that the City court of Cartersville, is an i istitut on of economy to our people. The effort to have the court abolished is no doubt brought about by the misapprehension of some as to its workings. One of the main grounds argued agaiust it is, that its work does not accomplish the purpose for which it was created, viz: relief to the Superior court. Now this is a great mistake, any one who thinks otherwise needs only to read the facts to be convinced of his error. There is au impression among some that iu all cises where parties are dissatisfied with judgment of the City court, they must appeal to the Superior court. This is not true. There enu he no appeal to the Superior court. In all cases of dis satisfaction, the party dissatisfied must go to the Superior court by a writ of error. These writs are generally heard by Ihe judge at chambers, but iu no case does it involve a trial by jury, of any case carried from the City to the Superior c.,urt. Though but a yery few cases have gone up from the City court, to date, it will he seen that their going up will involve the couuty iu scarcely no expense. But in one respect we differ from Mr. Akin. We do not think the outlook r.s gloomy as ho presents it. Litigation, we thiuk, is steaddy on the decrease iu this county, and its gaiu < f the Superior court upon to dockets is increasing very rapidly. This is a large and wealthy couuty. Our taxable property is over three and a half millions of dollars. It is natural that when so large and varied interests are iuvolved that there should be litiga tion. But we venture the opinion that taking in consideration the area wealth and variid interests of the county, that there is actually less litigation per annum in Bartow than in any other county in the State. Again, our leaders should bear in mind that our taxes have been increased by the building of bridges. This isouly a temporary increase, and the current of taxation will soon flow down to its usual level. We write these words that no one may be deterred from coming here, cr invasting here, through fear of conrts and taxes. Bartow is rich, prosperous, happy and contented. Let us all pull together and help swell the fide cf im migration. Let us eucourage with bright pictures the investment of capital, and soon the increased amount of her taxable property, the necessary rate of taxation will rest as lightly as the dew drop ou the lion’s mane. Bartow county lias tried court after court to find something that would liigliten the work of the Superior court but without success, until the present City court was established. Now, that we have succeeded in getting a court that is well uigli perfect iu its operation, with a capable and efficient judge, who is administering the business before him most expeditiously and to the entire satisfaction of the people, let us keep it. A BRIGHT OUTLOOK FOR CAR TERSVILLE. It would be difficult to demand a healthier business outlook or a brighter future than that which is accredited to Cartersville just at this time. Almost without exceptiou every branch of her business has perceptibly improved over the same period last year, aud the ar teries of her trade are beginning to swell and pu’sate with new life and vigorous activity. All of her business men con cur iu llie declaration that perhaps never before was her business upon a more solid basis, nor the grand future that awaits her more plainly visible. While she still has hor bimues3 drones aud croakers, yet many of her citizens have caught the spirit of enterprise aud at every upward tendency they catch new inspiration, courage and business life. Cartersville is to be congratulated on the present outlook. On every hand cau be seen and beard the evidences of what she is to be. Her wealth of limit less resonreos, her magnificent location, her attractions as a residence place and her unrivalled advantages for a’most every kind of manufacturing industry, are just being learned of by the outside world. But her business men must not be content to sit quiet, thinking all that is necessary, is to start a so called boom then let it develop itself, for, if they do, the boom will explode and throw the town in a far worse condition than if she had never seen a boom. She is then stagnant. There are various ways in which her prosperity may be increased and developed into permanent growth aud prosperity. But none more infalli ble, or with greater assurance of success, than a united harmonious effort upon the part of all her citizens to foster and en courage every undertaking that is in augurated for her good. The only question that should be asked when au enterprise is put ou foot, is, will it ad vance Cartersville’s iutorest, if so, then every mau should leud it aid to the ex tent of his ability. The curse of Carters ville in the past lia3 been the l ick of harmony amongst her people, on all questions pertaining to the public wel fare and the material iuterost of the town. This should no longer be. We know of several enterprises that are soon to be started here. Now, le l our people when these enterprises come before them, not search for the weak places that they may tear them down, but that they may strengthen aud build them up. To this end our business men should combine aud co-operate, aud not stand apart, jealous lest one should got the advantage of another. With a hearty unity of action, and a watchful jealousy of our best interests, the business men of the town have it their power to make the present revival iu old Carters ville’s progress, but as the dawn of a morn ing to the bright noonday of prosperity to this community, so wondeifally bles sed of nature’s abundant riches. TIIE CARTERSVILLE LAND AND IHPRO VEMENT CO HP AN Y. What Cartersville now needs is a common real estate pool. Embrace iu this }kx>l every vacant property in the town; let the valuation be equalized by a board of arbitration, and let stock be issued to each member iu ratio to his subscription cf property. This would do no citizen an injustice, there would be no jealousy, and no unequal sacrifices j of one to the profit of another. The ; property so hulked would enlist the ivest of real estate dealers, men liaviug both the means and influence to interest buyers and to suggest and to carry out plans attractive to investors. This is the only jiossible meaus by which it may be hoped to move as altogether and iu one common interest. Thus if the first property placed on the market onlv brought a low figure it would be our common loss to be reimbersed, by that which might under the influence of the pool bring a higher price as a better feeling developed. This plan should embrace a system of factory enterprises equal to a certain percentage cf the rates of real estate. Backed by our entire population and managed by a wise and judicious dirrectory this plan would give confidence to buyers and make them eager co-laborers with us. This is our plan for a boom. We want a square solid pull together for Cartersville. This plan was inaugurated by a few of our citizens a few weeks ago, and would doubtless have been carried to completion but ft.r a little mishap for which no one in Cartersville was re sponsible. The same plan has been resumed within the last week. Many of our leading citizens have already sub scribed liberally iu money and property. A meeting will be held at the council chamber to-night at which it is proposed to complete the subscription list and to perfect an organization. Wo want every man who is interested in building up Cartersville to be at this meeting ready to oo operate to the full extent of his ability. Unquestionably now is the time to make of ourselves a great city. The tide is at the flood and is moving right by our doors, we may seize it aud ride right ou to fortune, or we may let it go by to enrich other cities while it leaves us as it found us, poor and unknown. Come to the meeting to night resolved to do all you cau far the general cause, It is your cause aud it will put mouey iu your pocket, and big mouey too. We may have a Birmingham boom if we will. SHALL THE CITY COURT BE AllOL ISHEl). Messrs. Editors —I am informed that petitions are being circulated throughout the county asking that the city court be abolished. Please give me space iu your columns to present some facts iu regard to this court to which the attention of the taxpayers of the county is respect fully called. Tbe city court has been in operation a little over seventeen mouths. Daring that time juries have been in attendance upon it for twenty-three days. During the same seventeen mouths the superior court has been in session wilh juries about 80 days, aud without juries 10 days, or 90 days iu all. During said 17 months the superior court has disposed of 181 casfcs in all, aud the city court disposed of 151 cases duriug the same period. Of the 181 cases disposed of by the superior court 50 were litigated civil cases; 83 were non-litigated civil cases; 33 were litigated criminal cases, aud 15 were non-litigated criminal cases —that is disposed cf without a trial. Of the 151 cases disposed of by the city court 20 were litigated civil cases; 47 were litigated criminal cases; 20 were uon-litigated criminal cases, and 64 were non-litigated civil cases. It seems that the city court has dis posed of uearly or about 0 cases per day. and the superior court a little over 2 cases a day. Had the city court been in session with juries the same number of days as the superior court (80) aud had had business before it, it would have disposed of over 450 cases. Had the superior court been iu session with juries only the same number of days as the city court (23), it would have dis posed of not quite 50 cases. A great argument against the city court, used by those who do not know what they are talking about, is that the cases are not ended when they are tried in the city court; that “they are all carried up,” etc. Now let us compare the superior and city courts iu this par ticular. Iu the 17 mouths we have been considering, there have been 21 motions for new trial in the superior court, while iu the city court there have only been 8. So it seems that trying a case iu the city court does decide it. Agaiu: There can be no appeal from a jury in the city court to one iu the superior c rart. Now let us examine into the com parative cost of the two courts from Oct. 20th, 1885, (when the city court held its first session) to March 25tli, 1887: superiorcourtT ~city ~cou ktT Jurors* Bailiffs $8,029 .1 ur’s Sc, tiff’s SO9B 00 Ilarto.v’s prop’n j Sai’y .linljje 850 00 of .Judge’ll Salary 48 Se. ojraplier (nothine) Stenographer 744 , Cleik 103(0 Clerk SBS !

Wik!e, Esq., who got them from the books and records. Now let us analyze them. They do not include tbe saving to the couuty m jail fees. 1 have not hail time to investi gate this, but Mr. J. C. Milam, couuty commissioner, estimates the sav ing iu this single item to be at least $350 per auuum. The superior court has disposed of 181 cases at a cost of $10,550, or $58.23 per case. The city court lias disposed of 151 oasts at a cost of $1891.12, or $12.53 per case. Or, in other words, the couuty has saved $45.70 for each case the city court has tried. Had tho superior court tried the 151 cases which the city court has tried at a cost of $1892 12, it would have cost the couuty the modest sum of $8,792.73. So that to dispose of 151 cases iu the city court, costs the county SO9OO 12 less than it does to try the same number iu 1 the superior court. Now let us look at the matter iu another light. The great need of all who are compelled io resort to the courts is that their cases shall be speedily disposed of; and the especial need of this county just now, is that the dockets of the superior court should he cleared, so that a biouuual session of two weeks shall be sufficient to dispose of all busi ness before the oourt. On the Ist day of January, 1884, there was upon the civil issue docnet of the superior court 080 cases. There are now upon the same docket 565 cases, or a reduction cf 121 cases. As the Jan uary term is closed, and we will have no further session until July, this reduction includes the work of threo years and a half. Now, as every case is disposed cf by the city court would have had to go to the superior court, it would seem that if we had had no ciiy court this gaiu of 121 wonlit have to be reduced by just the number of litigated cases disposed of by the city court —or 67 taken from 121, which would show a gain by our super ior court of 44 cases, or about 12 cases per anuum At this rate our superior court docket would be cleared in fifty-six years, and at a cost of over $350,000 iu direct taxation. Even with the aid given by the city court, our superior court, if it continues to “clear the docket” in the future as fast as it has iu the past, will require 17 years, at a cost of nearly one hundred aud twenty thousand dollars. Imagine a slow paying defendant at the “other end’’ of a 17-year docket, with a sharp attorney, a sham plea, and au accommo dating family physician. Do the tax papers now uuderst ind why I call our court house the “grave yard” and advise the present generation to will their law suits to their grandsons and think no more about them? Aud, by the way, my clients sometimes act as if they wish me to look to their grand sons for fees. No criticism upon our superior court judge is iutended. He is doing his best. I do not wonder, Messrs. Edi'.ors, that the tax payers aie dissatisfied. But will they, after considering the foregoing facts aud figures, claim to abolish our cheap and speedy city court ? Will my esteemed friend, Dr. Felton insist upon it? Will he not rather amend the act creating it, so us to remedy its defects? The people need relief aud they ought to have it; but to abolish the city court will iucrease rather than lighten the bur den of taxation. I feel very much incliued to express my views iu regard to the passage of au act which I think would operate to clear our superior court dockets iu a short while—but this article is already too long. God bless old Bartow and all of her people. Thos. Warren Akin. BILL ON BOOMS. “BIL ARP” SHOWS THE DIFFER ENCE FROM A lIOT AIK CON CEHN AND THE SUB STANTIAL ONE. H Grows Warm Over Cartersville ami Her Bright Prospects. Maj. C. 11. Smith, “ Bill Arp,” after sev eral weeks hard work in the lecture field, has been spending a few days with his family here. He went over to ji neighboring town, a town that is located “ near Cartersville,” to see a “boom,” and this is what he says of his trip in his Con stitution letter: “ Webster says tht.t a “boom” is a hollow sound from an empty barrel. Every day we read the exciting telegrams about the booms in southern cities, and our wonder is that these big things have just been discovered. I wanted to see a real gen uine boom, so I ran over to a neighboring city and cruised around, but everything looked about the same as it used to was and the merchants told me that business was dull, quite dull, like it was every spring. There was much talk about what they were going to do and maybe they will do something after awhile. I saw’ them fixing up a brickyard; but the main business seemed to be buying land and selling it again just for the fun of the thing. Nobody talked about building on the land or planting any machinery that would give employment to labor. There were no new comers who came to stay. Anew crowd of adventurers came every day. Some of them invest and hold for a day or two and help on the boom until they make a few hundred, and th a n they go off to another town that is getting up a boom. They remind me of old times when the traveling gamblers used to fol low the courts around and play faro and poker at every town during court week and clean up the surplus money from the un sophisticated, and leave them flat and busted. These watered stocks in the great land and improvement companies are a good thing to use as a circulating medium. They are a good thing to trade on with a bonus. They are like a great many mem bers of a legislature—they are tit to make a quorum if they are not fit for anything else. They are like a gold mine, you must sell it, but never dig in it, aud the man who buys must sell it again and let it keep on being sold, and every buyer must sell at an advance, if ha can. *■**#** Now when a land and improvement company organizes on a paid up basis and actually purchases valuable mineral lands with intention to build and develop, it commends itself to our people We c n see what they have got and know they have paid for it. Those ventures need no boom, no inflation, no experts, no daily telegrams and they sc ek none. It is altogether proper and expedient for a people to set forth fairly before the pub lic the natural advantages of their section and to invite a visit from those seeking investments, but this unnatural and ficti tious inflation that shocks the judgment of conservative men is all wrong and should be discountenanced. The value of land is always proportionate to the in come that can be derived from it. The income is the true basis of its worth, and that income does not fluctuate much, never rapidly. A piece of land that is worth only five hundred dollars to-day cannot be worth a thousand to morrow and two thousand next day. Now here is Bartow county, that is by far the richest in mineral lands of any county in the state. The tax returns and the United States census show this. This is no new thing. It was so when that grand old pi meer, Mark A. Cooper, lo cated his furnace and foundry and merch ant mills and other manufactories here, over forty years ago. His prophetic eye saw the hidden wealth of this grandest of nature’s storehouses, and lie purchased seventeen thousand acres of these mineral lands. But for the war he would doubt less have been the largest and wealthier manufacturer in the south. The man who was so careless about the fire burned and destroyed all his works, but now these lands have recently fallen into the hands of en erprising capitalists— not boomers, but earnest men, who have come to stay, and now haye their engineers in the field at work. Around these lands are thousands of acres just as rich in minerals Every hill and mountain teems with ore—iron, manganese, marble, plumbago, gold, silyer, asbestos, or mill stone grit. This is the ranking county in tbe state in the value of her lands per acre, as returned under oath by the tax payers. It is tbe ranking county in the state for the number of bushels of wheat made, not only in the aggregate, but per acre. With Gordon county included, it is the best region in the state for the growth of clover and grasses. It is watered by clear, fast flowing streams that haye water mills almost in sight of each other. The soil is dark chocolate and respond well to the farmer’s toil. Cartersville is the county town and has more beautiful loca tions for residences than any town in tbe state —Marietta not accepted. We have no boom and good property can be had at reasonable figures. We have the Eto wah river near enough for all desirable pur poses—only two miles away—and it be haves much better than it does about thirty miles down. We have a prohibi tion town and prosperous churches and splendid schools, and well behaved child- i ren, except some. Not long ago Sam I Jones asked all the boys under sixteen i years, who had never smoked a cigarette, ! to bold up their bauds, and all held up j but two—or, may be only two held them up —I am not sure, but lam sure that it was one way or the other. We are going to have waterworks before long, and every fall we have tabernacle meetings and have Sam Jones ami all the big cues to shoot off cannon and wake up the slumbering people from their lethargy. 'lobe Jack son has left these parts and nobody ts afraid of dynamite now. Wc arc very well content and our people are not overly anxious to get rich (except some,) but we will give glad welcome to those who choose to come and domicile with us. We will meet anybody, whether poor or rich, on half way grounds. We will say “howdy” and ask folks, but they must, say “howdy,” too, and ask after ours. I made a remark about the Browns not long ago and a nabor told me that I would have to be careful for the Browns were very “techeous.” “Well,” saftl I, “I want it distinctly understood that I am ‘techeous,’ too,” and 1 am.

If not cured, complications multiply and Consump tion of the Lungs, Skin Diseases, Heart Disease, Rheumatism, Kidney Disease, or other grave maladies are quite liable to set in and, sooner or later, induce a fatal termination. Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Dis covery acts powerfully upon the Liver, and through that great blood - purifying organ, cieanseß the system of all blood-taints and im purities, from whatever cause arising. It is equally efficacious in acting upon the Kid neys, and other excretory organs, cleansing, strengthening, and healing their diseases.

From its mar velous power over this terribly fatal disease, when first offering this now world-famed rem edy to the public. Dr. Fierce thought seriously of calling it his “Consumption Ctiik," but abandoned that name as too restrictive for a medicine which, from its wonderful com bination of tonic, or strengthening, alterative, or blood-ckmnsing, anti-bilious, pectoral, and nutritive properties, is unequaled, not only as a remedy for Consumption, but for all.
