THURSDAY, APRIL 21, 1887.
PKKBrommAiibooms are now beginning
to oc’upy public attention. Not a week
passes without anew possibility spring
ing up.
The President has appointed Gen. A.
It. Lawton, of Savannah, to fill the
Austrian mission. Gen. Lawton is a
man of ability and culture, and is pe
culiarly well filled for this High posi
tion. This appointment is a source of
much gratification to his many frieuds
throughout the State. This is the third
time that Georgia has furnished Ameri
can’s representative at the court of
Vienna.
ANOTHT.n United States Court hasover
huuled the Inter-state commission: The
receivers of the Texas and Pacific rail
way, which runs from New Orleans to
El I’asso, have obtained from the
United States Circuit Court at New
Oileans, the railway being in the hands
of the Court, an order to disregard the
long-and short-haul clause of tUe iofer
state commerce law in making freight
and passenger rates to and from El
Paso.”
The New York Herald says: “The
colored man has learned by experience
that he is ‘cold shouldered’ by the Re
publican leaders, who are quite willing
to use him for election purposes,
but forget him when the torchlights have
gone out and the prof ession disbands. So
fur as stump orators la concerned the Re
publicans have claimed monopoly of the
negro, and if lie hat- the audacity to think
for himself and vote tin Democratic ticket
he is publicly denounced as a ‘monstros
ity’ who should at once be ‘crushed,’ It is
a'lont time for this nonsense to cease.
The white man :s quite at liberty to vote
as he chooses, and the black man should
do the same thine without criticism. He
refuses to be harnessed to the Republi
can car, but feels that he has the right to
dispose of his vote as he pleases. lie is
correct. If ho wishes to cast a ballot for
a Republican, whose business is it? Ii
he wishes to help elect a Democrat, pray
whose business is it? He owns his own
brains, and that ends the matter.”
WE QUAKE WITH FEAR.
George Marion, a farmer of Rensselaer,
Tud., found his dog Larking at n snake
near a hole in the ground. He dug
down and found bushels of snakes stiff
with cold. Wh in all wore killed and
classified, it was found that there was
one hundred and forty in all, one hun
dred uud thiUsen of which were blu 1
racers, and twenty-seven were bull
snakes. No other kinds of serpents
were found in the den. Soon after an
other den of sixty-seven snakes were
found.—New York Sun.
When we read the like of the above
a patriotic anxiety for the reputation of
our state snake literature prevades
our system and causes us to rest uneasy
ns to our laurels. It is well known that
Georgia is “some pumpkins'’ herself
when it comes to snake yarns, and this
direct competitive yarn causes us to
look around for George Woods and en
quire what about it. George, Othello
like, when perusing this gigantic ag
gregation will mope around, pine for the
occupation that is gone and go over into
the adjoining county and sigh. We can
not but feel that the reputation of the
grand old state is in dangerous waters,
and unless George does prance forward
as he is wont, all will be lost.
Just at this season, when the fragran
cies of the blossoming flowers freshens
and rekindles in our memories the valor
and deeds of the departed heroes, the
following noble words from Mrs, Ger
trude Thomas, in the Augusta Chronicle,
are peculiarly appreciated:
“Southern women iove the Lost Cause,
it has for us treasured memories, with it
is associated the thought of a time when
‘life was real, life was earnest,’ when the
mind was expanded, the heart w r as up
lifted, and from the throes of agony and
suspense of that time a higher nature was
horn. Having lived through that wan
tlrous time, with its crowded life, quick
action and noble impulse, men and
women realized that while life was dear,
it was often a far nobler thing to die. All
honor to the gallant men who gave their
lives for what they thought was right.
Twenty-one j ears have come and gone,
and yearly as the spring returns our
women and children repair to the last
resting plrcc of our soldiers and lovingly
lay flowers upon the turf which grows
above them. In low tones, we tell the
story to which time has lent romance,
and as we linger loyingly over the tale so
often told, we educate our youths and
maidens to know that, ‘brave men may
die—right has no death;’ we tell them of
the privation of the brave private so dier,
and we glory in the name of Lee,‘the one
name made deathless by defeat.’ And
thus ‘we win ihe hearts of the future
years, lor the men who wore the grey.’”
Mb. Cummins, general counsel for the
Louisville, New Orleans and Texas
railroad company, addressed the inter
state commerce commission on last Fri
day. In discussing the intention cf the
framers of the iuter-s*ate commerce law,
with reference to the long and short
haul clause, he said: “That while they
had forbidden an increase of rates with
out due notice, they had left fall lil e-ty
to "make reductions at will. This
he held to be an evidence of a purpose
to encourage and promote competition
such as bis road proponed and wished to
continue. The eeunte, he urged, had
in view these very circumstances when,
by unanimous vote, it inserted in the
bill tlie words: ‘Under similar circum
stances and conditions.’ Ho quoted
opinions expressed by Senator Cullom
in the debate in support of the theory
that this amendment was intended to
relieve the absolutism of the original
bill. The lawmaking body, he thought,
had also in mind the decisions of courts,
both state and federnl, upon this point.
Several of these decisions he cited
brit Hv. He argued that it was individ
ual discrinrnation alone which was ob
noxious to the law, and that discrimina
tion, which treated all alike—a discrimi
nation which was necessary as in tl e
case if his company to secure a share if
competing traffic—was not to be disturb
ed.”
A BRIGHT SPRING OUTLOOK.
There has been no year within the
past quarter of a century when the en
tire South was more prosperous, or the
business outlook so bright; and this
is confiued to no particular brauch or in
dustry. On every side, in every chan
nel of productive iudustery, in every
mart cf commerce, there is the same
promising outlook. This cheerful feel
ing and prosperous condition of affairs
is not based upon au inflation of values
that give a mock appearance of general
business prosperity, but a healthy firm
foundation. Speculation has crept into
some branches of business, especially
that of real estate trading in some of the
“booming Lawns,” but these towns are
passing through these mushroom values
without any serious shock to growth and
development.
This bright outlook for the Southern
States is, we say, based ou the mast
substantial foundation. Capital is
rapidly diffusing itself into productive
enterprises. This is not the result
simply of an influx of northern capita’,
though it has had much to do with bring
ing it about; but it is largely owing to tl e
fact that southern bruins infused with
energy aud progressive thought, have
begun to realize the great possibilitiei
of the South, and with a confidence in
her future, have commenced to expend
their efforts and money in building her
greatness. In every quarter enterprises
of various kind are springing up, the
homers are improving their methods
of cultivating their lauds, and are be
ginning to learn that skill and progres
siveness is as essential to the successful
pursuit of agriculture as in any other
branch of business or trade; labor, is
perhaps, belter rewarded now, through
out the South, than.ever before, and the
c>stof living cheaper; the people are
gradually recovering from the grinding
oppression of debt; there is a general
feeling of confidence and new hope in
every branch of business.
Indeed there is much to encourage
legitimate business enterprises in the
present cheering spring outlook. There
is no reason why the year 1887 should
u .t be the most prosperous yet recorded
in the old Southland.
Here in Cartersville we have already
experienced the healthy pulsations of this
renewed energy and life; and with this
let us take new courage, every man
putting his shoulder to the wheel,
whether he be weak or strong, and we
will bo astonished at the fruit of our
labors. Now is our greatest oppor
tunity, let us take advantage of it.
CARTERSVILLE BEFORE THE
INTER-ST ATE COMMERCE
COMMISSION.
In another column will be found a call
for a citizens’ meeting, to prepare a me
morial to be presented to the Inter
State Commission which is to assemble
in Atlanta ou the 26th instant; also to
appoint a committeo to appear before
the commission, and bring before it
whatever grievances Cartersville may
have. Our peop’e cannot too highly ap
preciate the impoi lance of this meeting.
Before the commission will take cogni
zance of our complaints they must be
specifically and plainly set out in a peti
tion, praying for whatever relief we may
desire. Thus it will be seen that it is of
the utmost importance that our business
men get together and discuss the matter
of our freight rates, aud the desired re
lief. This is a question in which we are
all vitally interested. Let eveiy busi
ness mau in town turn out to the citizens
meeting to-morrow night. High freight
tariffs have been a stumbling block in
the way of Cartersville's prosperity
long enough. Now, we have in the in
ter-state commerce law a relief, if the
commission, iu their liberal discretion,
will only enforce what is the real intent
and spirit of that iaw.
We would suggest that Aduirsville
and Kingston might also with profit have
each a oommittee before he commission
at the Atlanta session.
MUTINOUS CONVICTS.
Raleigh, N. C. April 18 —Excitement
over the convicts’ mutiny ran high all day
Monday. Troops entered the penitentiary
about 9 o’clock Saturday night and re
mained all night. The gas was out, ow
ing to an accident to the main, and the
place was in darkness, thus greatly com
plicating the situation. Sixty convicts,
who were out in cell-corridor, tore up
part of the brick pavement, but made no
attempt at an attack. At midnight the
gas was again turned on, and the great
building was illuminated. No further
attempt to force the convicts into the
cells was made. The mutineers assem
bled in the corridor and swore and
shouted. Yesterday morning they went
into a room known as the Sunday school
room. 'Jhe riot alarm was sounded in
the cit3 T ANARUS, and more white troops went out
to the penitentiary, while colored com
pany was assembled at the armory in
readiness for orders. The convicts waved
red flags from the windows of the prison,
which were observed by hundreds of per
sons who had assembled near ♦be build
ing.
Gov. Scales gaye instructions that
bloodshed must be resorted to only as an
extreme measure, but that it must follow
the slightest attempt at escape or riot.
He placed the military under control of
Warden Hicks. The convicts during the
day refused to go to their cells, saying
they wanted grievances redressed. Final
ly, after an all day’s conference, they
promised to obey and all went to their
cells. The excitement here was remarka
ble nnd was nude more intense by the
evident sympathy of some people outside
with the mutinous convicts.
HAS KJS3AXE SKIPPED?
Nf.w York, April 18—An evening
paper prints the following: Lawyer J.
15. Hart, of San Frncisco, who came here
two weeks ago in behalf of Wiliam Kis
sane, alias William K. Rogers, to get an
old indictment for forgery against that
gentleman quashed, lias failed to present
the credentials he promised Recorder
Smyth he would get in a week or ton
days, and has apparently left the city,
it is known that the papers wrj mailed
to him two weeks ago to day. At the
time they should have arrived he was at
the New York Hotel. Two days later h:
left the hotel, saying lie was going to
Albany, and lie has not yet returned.
Recorder Smyth said to day he had not
heard from Mr. Hart, or anything further
about the case. The latest report from
California about Kissane was that he had
fled the country, having taken a sudden
departure for British Columbia, after hia
present name became known.
GEORGIA GLEANINGS.
Note* Nicked From Exchanges.
Mr. Grady’s assertion that Presideu
Cleveland would be present at the open
iugof the Piedmont Exposition in At
lauta next October is corroborated by a
Washingtou correspondent, who claims
to speak by the card. The President,
according to this authority, will go to
St. Louis, then to Birmingham aud tlieu
to Atlanta, where he will remain possi
bly a week or more. Secretary Lamar
will accompany him. Further than this
nothing is known, except that Mrs.
Cleveland will not make the trip, be
cause averse to long distance traveling.
Madison Madisonian: Too much cau
not be said of the efficacy of the water
in one of our city wells as a remedy and
cure for Bright’s disease of the kidneys.
While many of our neighboring towns
people suffering, languishing aud dying
from this fearful malady, our people are
exempt from it. Several gentlemeu
from the north aud west have come here
suffering from this disease aud by drink
ing the water exclusively have been en
tirely cured or greatly relieved.
Rev. Sam. Small ha3 been conducting a
revival in Savannah. His health is im
proving, a fact that will be relished by his
thousands of friends over the country.
Americus Recorder: A few days ago
Bertha Wilson, a blooming daisy belle
from the country, while coming out of a
colored friend’s house in this city,had the
limb of a tree blow n down on her nose.
Thinking it was broken, she said she was
going to sue the proprietor for a hundred
dollars, for damages to her beauty. A
colored deacon of the church examined
the nose, and said:—“My dear.de nose am
now perfec. It gives de right set of de
gran African nose, to de face, dat am all
lubly wid de bloom ob health and youth.
All yer wants is a little stimulant, which
will make you feel better, and when de
soreness passes yer’ll bless de limb dat
mashed yer nose inter de shape ob de
royal nigger nose." He then commanded
that the woman should receive a good
drink to alleviate her pain; which was
given by the other woman. The action
of the whisky and the promise of tke
deacon to call and see the sufferer, sent
her on her way rejoicing, and she yelled
out, “Ise now gotder royal African nose,
and am a perfec angel.”
The Marklnm House in Atlanta has
been closed, and will remain so for two
months. The new proprietors are going
to give it a thorough oyerbauling.
There has been another fight in the cus
tom house in Atlanta, this time Messrs.
Crenshaw and Chapman renewing their
old affair. The latter got a terrible
gouging and was considerably disfigured.
Really, are the boys taking advantage of
the fine opportunity to test the superior

Col. John A. Stephens, late adjutant
general of Georgia, died at his home in
Washington last wtek. He was a favorite
nephew of the late Alexander 11. Stephens.
Tuesday afternoon in Atlanta a colored
plumber by the name of Marshall Heard
was sent to the residence of A. J. Wiley,
night watchman of the East Tennessee,
Virginia and Georgia railroad, to do some
work. Mrs. Wiley told him that he could
not come in just then, when he forced
his way by her and gave her some imper
tinence. She awoke her husband and
the negro ran into the yard. Mr. Wiley
got his pistol and fired at him three times,
the negro yelled as if struck, leaped over
the fence, aud has not since been seen.
MK KXAPr’S mSAPPEAKKNCK.
The Atlanta Journal, speaking of the
disappearance from Atlanta of Mr. R.
If. Knapp, who formerly lived in Bartow
oounty, says:
It was known that he was doing a
prosperous business, paying him a legit
imate income of at least 53,000 a year,
and how he could dispose of his ill gotten
gains is a matter of serious conjecture.
The popular idea is he must have either
indulged in gambling or wild specula
tion w ithout the knowledge of his friends
and it is well known that he has been
recently extravagant iu the expenditure
of money. The theory has also become
quite current, which invariably follow in
cases of this kind, that he has saw and up
large sums of money, some of which is
safely in a distant part of the countrj.
Those who know him best, however, do
not recognize this theory, for they are
convinced that Mr. Knapp is not a mau
who could possibly be induced to delib
erately bring such distress upon his
family for the sake of hoarding money
fraudulently obtains!. The generosity
and liberality which he exhibited would
have been a noble virtue under other
circumstances; they can now be regard
ed only as faults, but they go to dissipate
the idea that he is hoarding up his
plunder. It was only until hi> recent
entry into the field of politics that he
waudered from the narrow path of vir
tue, and this is a significant feature.
Among the dishonest transactions
thus far brought to light are the follow
ing:
Forging the name of his father-in-law,
Col. W. A. MoNaught, to checks and
notes amounting to several hundred
dollars, in the fall of ’B6; also, an endors
er cf a note of $1,150, given for bor
rowed money to Mr. .John J. Jordon.
Forging his wife’s name to mortgages
on her home on Washington street in
1884-5, by whioh Mrs. Cotting is a
victim to the amount of $2,000. Dr. L.
E. Boroheim SI,OOO, anil Mr. C. M.
Heiuze $2,000. Forging the cancel
lation of a mortgage on s piece of prop
erty on Prior St, thus securing $400;
Appropriating SBOO which Mrs. Judsou
had placed in his hands for investment.
Appropriating $4,500 belonging to Mr.
T. I. Scully while acting ss bustiess
manager to that gentleman’s interests in
the paper mill, and forging his name to
a note of SSOO at the Atlanta National
Bank. Appropriating SSOO from a sum
of money whioh Mr. C. W. Chears had
placed with him for investment. The
forgery and defalcation of $2,500 iu ths
Kershaw case, nlready mentioned.
Shortages also in various receiverships,
trust funds, etc, aggregating several
thousands of dollars.
Nashville American. A pretty good
point is made on John Sherman apropos
of his indignantly leaving hia hotel at
Birmingham because of the proprietor’s
refusal to permit a delegation
of negroes to call on him at
his rooms. Mr. Sherman was a mem
ber of the Congress which took the
of sufferage away from the District
of Columbia, and voted for it, the
obvious object being to keep the col
oreil voters from dominating the capital.
This was briuginging the power of
negro suffrage a little to close to the
able Senator.

Petition for New Militia District
GEORGlA—llartow County:
To Hon J A Howard, Ordinary of said
County: The undersigned, resident citi
zens of the 827th district, Georgia Militia,
Bartow county, Georgia, residing in the
northeastern portion of said Militia Dis
trict, respectfully represent to your Honor
that a large number of the residents of
said part of said District are eight miles
from the justice court ground and voting
precinct, and are compelled to cross the
Pine Log mountain and Salacoa creek,
and said creek when swollen is unpass
able, making it inconvenient as well as a
burden to them in going to the court
ground and voting precinct. And your
petitioners conceive it to be necessary and
expedient to lay out anew Militia District
off of said 827t1i District, G. M., aud your
petitioners further represent that being
near the county line of Cherokee they can
reach no other convenient place to vote.
Your petitioners further represent that
within the said portion of said district
there is sufficient population and persons
subject to militia duty to authorize the
es ablishing anew district as provided by
law. Wherefore your petititiouers pray
that Your Honor appoint three commis
sioners, citizens of said Js27th district, to
lay out and define the lines and boundary
of said New District, and such other order
and proceedings as are necessary and law
ful to cary out the objects petitioned for,

Maxey’s, Ga , January, 1886.
For twelve or fourteen years I have
been a great sufferer from a terrible form
of l looil poison which ran into the sec
ondary and finally it was pronounced ter
tiary ” form. My head, face and shoul
ders became almost a mass of corruption
and finally the disease commenced eating
my skull hones. I became so horribly
repulsive that for three years 1 absolutely
refused to let people see me I used large
quantities of most noted blood medicines
ami applied to nearly all physicians near
me, but my condition continued to grow
worse, and all said that I must surely die.
My bones became the seat of excruciating
aches and pains ; my nights were passed
in misery; I was reduced in flesh and
strength; my kidneys were terribly de
ranged, and life became a burden to me
I chanced to see an advertisement of
B. B B and sent one dollar to W. C.
Birclimore & Cos , merchants of our place,
and they procured one bottle for me, It
was used with decided benefit and when
eight or ten bottles had been used I was
pronounced sound and well
Hundreds of scars can be seen on
me, looking like a man who had been
burned and then restored. My case was
well known in this country, and for the
benefit of others who may be similarly
affected, I think it my duty to give the
facts to the public,and to extend my heart
felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I
