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 merits of the Georgia moonshine ? 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.

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.
