A Boston paper says: “The shrewdest

road fellows art 1 no sleepy lot.”
Home, besides enjoying a considerable
boom is just now regaled every morning
with the pajiers of the town “chock full"
of war news. The two editors are call

everything else that can be brought into

slaughts really makes us shudder and
involuntarily ftsd around for our musket,
and we want ’em to quit.
Geneual Be w ueuauii replies to Jef
ferson Davis’ New Orleans speech with
some asperity, and concludes as follows:
“1 am one of the many in the south who
believe, even to this day, that had he
(Albert Sidney Johnson) tieeu at the
head of the Confederate government, du
ring the terrible ordeal that we had to
go through from lHfll to IB(ir> the re
sult of the war would have been altogeth
er different, and if not a complete suc
cess, at any rate not by far such an
overwhelming disaster.”
Unckw some restraint is ]>ut upon the
louring youths of our town we expect to
hear of much trouble and many broken
heart*. Mere children are allowed to
loaf on the streets all day and at all
bourn of the night, to go at will, learn
vicious habit* and grow up in jrerfect
recklessness. If some parents could hear
the left-handed (compliments paid them
on account of their ehilderen they would
be heartily ashamed. They are held re
sponsible for the acts of their children,
and it is hoped that some restraint will
keep them from habitually loafing on the
street*. It: is there they learn their man
ners and it is there the criminal first
lenrns his jninmry lessons.
Titic Chicago Inter-Oeeau says: “One
thing at least is clear, und that is that
tin* inter-state eolnineree commission is
not a sinecure, and that the members,
particularly Judge Cooley, earn their
salary. Whatever nmy be the ultimate
fate of the law under which this commis
sion acts, it is serving to educate the
country somewhat in railroad matters,
and as an experiment is useful in show
ing how far any congressional remedies
can meet the alleged grievances of rail
road management. So long as there was
mere talk, no one could form any definite
idea of what tin' effect of government
iat rferenee upon the matter of transpor
t ition would be. There is an opportuni
ty now of practically testing this, and it
is likely that the commission is as wisely
selected to apply legal and common
sense reasoning to questions that arise
as any men who could be found. There
has been for so many years such a pres
sure for congress to take a hand in tlie
railroad problem, that it is interesting
to nob* how the various classes will re
gard the workings of the attempt iu that
direction. No one should pre-judge or
li stily judge. Give the law a fair trial.’’
The enormous figures, representing
the arrivals of immigrants, at the port of
New York, last week are staggering,
Hie number reaching something over
12,000. New inhabitants enough to
populate a considerable size city. Each
wi**k would have been bailed with
pleasure by Americans a few years ago,
but the rapid increase of crime, pauper
ism and insanity so noticeable of late
years and which has been largely
traceable to foreign sources, has been im
pressed upon Hie American people the
fact that foreign immigration is not an
unmixed blessing. The recent labors
troubles have served to show the same
tiling. Tin* ad votates of rioting and
violence arc chiefly of foreign birth.
The bloody dynamiters and anarchist
that are beginning to be so nggressivoly
prominent in some of our larger cities is
composed entirely of foreigners. The
..foreign immigration to this country, this
year, bids fair to exceed that ofIKS2,
which ran up to 788,092. The trans
formation of this vast multitude of
alien people into true legal freemen,
make* a problem for the highest order
.<jf stateinanship.
The Inter-State Law.
Judge Reagan has written a letter on
the Inter-state commerce law, in which
he says:
“It is but the old contest that huw gone
on ttefore Congress for years, in which
the people have sought protection
against the discrimination and unjust
exactions of tin* railroad companies in
the interest of their officers, ‘not of the
stockholders,’ and of sub-organizations
and rings for the control of particular
branches of commerce which have been
struggling for the unrestricted and un
limited control of the transportation and
commerce of the country independently
of any governmental control in the in
terest of the people. The united
and concentrated efforts of the railroad
companies, their officers, attorneys and
agents, and of the newspajiers they own
and hire, or employ to drive and mislead
the Inter-state Commission into the sus
pension and nullifying of this givat and
beneficent act of Congress. The reason
for increasing freight rates and predic
tions falsely made of the danger of ruin
ing the commercial business and other
interests of the country, are the basis of
the arguments by which it is intended to
alarm the country and befool the com
mission into a course which would .sub
stantially annul the law, sacrifice the
(test interests of the country and prob
ably force Congress to harsher and moie
vigorous legislation for the protection
of the interests ofthe people. It the com
mission should yield to the demands of
the railroad companies for the purpose
of defeating this act of Congress, the true
remedy will be to repeal so much of the
present law as provides for the creation
of the commission, and let that part of it
stand which stands for the protection of
the rights of the jieopk* through the in
strumentality of the courts of the
country. No amount of chicanery, fraud,
falsehood and suborned newspaper effort
can permanently defeat the will of
the people on this givat question.
If a list of the newspajiers whose stock is
partly held in the interest ofthe railroad
companies or nr* 1 subsidised by them
could be published, it would explode and
destroy the effect of much ofthe shame
less misrepresentation and sophistry to
which the public is now threatened by
them.”
Mr. Carlisle contributes this in an in
terview:
“It is one of the greatest questions
that has come before the people in a
dozen years.” he said. “The law is
necessarily very imperfect, because of the
many different issues at stake, and be
cause it was a compromise bill made up,
some of it from one bill and some from
another. The on** great mistake of that
bill, in my mind, is that it does not cover
all transportation between States. It
seems Imrlily just to leave out the water
ways and legislate alone for the rail
ways- I take it as all business carried
on between States, whether by rail,
water, dray, wagon or by manual labor,
is Inter-state commerce, and should be
considered as such. For instance, l live I
in Covington, and my wife has a habit of
going over into Cincinnati, and will
sometimes purchase quite a bill of goods,
which are Hent home by n lioy. Now
that boy is a common carrier, and if an
Inter-state commerce law is made it
should apply to him. There are many
feature of the bill w hich 1 have no
doubt will be repealed at the next session
of Congress, and some of it muy be con
sidered unconstitutional by the courts,
but 1 believe the long and short haul
feature to be good and just. There is no
justice in building up the large towns at
the expense of the small ones, as we done
under the old system. This section of
the law may be suspended for the benefit
of those lines affected by water compe
tition, but the latter should be regulated
so the section could be held strictly to
ih* 1 intentions of the law."
Our New Dress.
The Coi’kant-Amkhican makes it* ap
pearance this week in an entire new dregs
of Benton s self-spacing type. It greets
its many readers, in its new outfit, with
renewed energy, fully determined to till
well and creditably the position it has al
ready won as a first-class weekly newspa
per. and. as the friend and advocate of
the people and Bartow county and their
material interests.
Within the past few months we have
spent much money in thoroughly equip
ping The ('ovkaxt-Ame khan office, in ev
ery department, with new and first-class
machinery. Our job office is complete in
every particular, being supplied with the
latest styles of type and best of presses.
Indeed, we do not hesitate to say that we
believe that we have succeeded in fitting
up the best country printing office in the
state. This we have (lorn* at a consider
bU> expenditure, not only to meet Car
tersville s present demand* in our line,
but to Is* ready for the growth and pros
perity that we feel confident is surely
awaiting her in the immediate future.
Now, with tin* promise that the whole
aim and purpose of The Couuant-Amer
h'A.v shall be to tuc advancement of every
interest of Bartow county, and the devel
opment and upbuilding of its immeasure
ble and yet untold resources, it cannot be
said to be claiming too much to say that
it is entitled in return, from our jteople, a
liberal and unstinted patronage. Asa
newspaper is looked upon as reflecting the
progress and enterprise of the communi
ty in which it is published, it cannot Is*
denied that it is to the interest of every
business man in that community to be
represented iu its columns. As’it is the
medium of all the county news and expo
nent of everything pertaining to the
county’s interest, it is the duty of every
household in the county to be a subscrib
er to it. No mail should begin to com
pare the cost and size of his own home
paper to that of some other paper pub
lished outside of the county, or, perhaps
the state; for their real value cannot be
measured in that way. The home paper
contains news upon county matters that
no other paper can furnish.
The eumjieb manufacturers of Alabama
and Mississippi, in a meeting at Mont

It is said that President Cleveland,
has made it a rule,ever since he went into

The tide of immigration has turned at

Latter Day Insanity.
Fleming Dußignou .Solicitor general of
the Savannah circuit, in the trial ofthe
case of the State vs. Richard Fogarty,
charged with murder, made u speech in
which he dealt very severely with the
common plea of insanity, under w hich
so many guilty men have gone unpun
ished. His words upon this point, are
blazing with truth, and should be read
by every juryman in the country. The
law of Georgia, " he says, “determine who
are of sane mind. They are all who are
over fourteeen years of nge. anil aiv not
idiots, lunatics, nor afflicted with insani
ty. He declared the law was upon trial
in this ease. The man who is brought
from the scene of some bloody debauch
hv the hand of an outraged law, who is
fresh from the contract of associates
whose converse is corruption, who revels
in the exploits of some dime novel hero,
who has glady learned to surrender the
precepts of home and its influences, who
regards as noblest him who is bloodiest,
and him the meanest who is the gentlest;
who is sane the day before and the day
after his crime, ami yet adroitly covers
the intervening period with insanity: who
is sane enough to become insane, smart
enough to become foolish, intellectual
enough to become an imbecile when im
becility offers the only avenue of escajie:
who is too sane to be sent to a lunatic
asylum ami too insane to punish, such a
man is the typical maniac of modern
jurisprudence. Upon the slightest pro
vocation, the flimsiest pretext a throat is
cut or a head blown ofl. \\ hen society
is outraged and public peace and security
’ cry aloud for au example it is sudden
ly discovered that the criminal acted
under an insane impulse. This latter day
insanity which acquits murderers in the
large majority of instances is manufac
tured to order, made for the case.
Cotton Competition.
Rewards aggregating f.'iO.OOO have
been offered for the past few years by va
rious foreign governments, particularly
the English, could invent a machine that
would spin ramie into yarns. Ramie is
often called Chinese grass. It grows
about four feet high. It is a perennial
plant, and throws out numerous stems
as thick as the little finger. The fibre of
the inner bark is the useful portion and
can be removed when the stems are
dried. By rubbing the stems in the hand,
the bark peels off and leaves this fibrous
matter, which is very strong, in apjiear
unce greatly resembling silk, For many
years the Chinese have been spinuing this
fibre and weaving it by hand. It makes
a durable fabric, not unlike silk and linen
in texture. In France and England it is
used to mix with and add stability to
silk. A Frenchman has recently invented
a machine to take the place of hand
work. A large factory is now being
built on the Hudson river, which will be
used for this purpose. After the yarns
are made they cun be put on any loom
and manufactured into all kinds of fa
bric. Ramie in its raw state is much
stronger than Russian hemp and it is
impossible to beak it by using any ordi
nary force. When manufactured it can
be used in almost any material. Ramie
was first introduced into this country in
18<)7 in the botanical gardens at Wash
ington. It was grown in Jamaica in
1H54. It is easier to raise than cotton,
and three crops can be obtained eu*-h
year. It cun be raised from seed. India,
Egypt and China are best suited for
raising ramie. It sells in raw state at
seven cents a pound or a little cheaper
than cotton, but move money can be
made out ofrymie, because it requires
less attention and realizes in larger quan
ities.
llisToitiAN Bancroft's recent arrival in
Nashville was duly observed by the local
authorities, a numlier of whom met him
at the depot, where a committee of the
Historical Society had assembled for tin*
same purpose. After ls-iiig escorted to
the Maxwell House he drunk a cup of tea
and then, bidding his friends good night,
In* retired to his room, as they thought,
to sleep. Instead of doing that, however,
he sought the streetaftcra little time and
shortly after nine o'clock found himself
in front of Mrs. Polk’s door, which
oiened when he rang. The meeting be
tween the two was very cordial. ‘‘Dear
Mrs. Polk,” said the historian, os his
well-rememl **red hostess entered the
room, il \ am so glad to see you and to
find that you are looking so well.” There
was a moment of hesitation, a recogni
tion and a smile, as the distinguished
lady said: ‘‘ls this Mr. Bancroft? I atn so
grateful that you have come so far to see
us.” The hospitalities of the mansion
were extended to the visitor, who in
turn treated the hostess with the most
graceful deference. It is even said that
he spoke of the time when she was “slen
der and graceful.” The meeting, ac
cording to the local pajiers, was indeed a
memorable one and it lost neither effect
iveness nor charm by the fact that the
welcoming committees fancied their ven
erable guest fast asleep iu his room, when
he was in reality conversing with the
lady whom lie had traveled so many
miles to see.
Loi isviele has been shaken up fear
fully over the murderous assault made
upon a domestic, Jennie Bowman, by
two negroes. The negroes entered the
residence where Jennie was employed, for
robbery, thinking that the occupants
had gone. They encountered Jennie and
beat her into insensibility and proceeded
to rob the house. This was done last
Thursday morning, and put Louisville
into the wildest excitement. The girl, in
momentary consciousness, described her
assailants, and Monday morning a lady
of the city hiring a negro to do some
work, found one answering the descrip
tion. She promptly called tin* police, the
right man was caught and a full con
fession was wrenched from him. He was
taken out of the city by the police, and
it is not thought he will I** safe from the
outraged people outside of the jieuiten
tiarv, where he. with his accomplice, who
was also captured, will be held until a
trial can be had. Louisville is red hot
and a lynching will take place at the
very first opportunity. The unfortunate
girl was improving at last accounts and
it is thought she will recover.

Mr. W. W. Montgomery received a tel

reach his old home until after the death
of his aged parent. After spending a few
days among friends and relatives, he r* 1 -

Our young people had a fishing party
at Iron ville on Saturday. All say they

quiry of several, and I dont think the
young gentlemen were much burdened
by the amount of fish that was caught.
Fish was not Hie consideration —but hav
ing a good time generally, and in this
they succeeded, so all went home happy.
Miss Louise Best accompanied by Mr.
Spencer Phillips put in their appearance
in the evening. These little gatherings
ofthe young people are very beuefieial;
I think there ought to be more of them,
the older people would also be happier
ami more contented if they would join
these groups oftener. It is a great mis
take to think that young folks never
want tlie older ones to join their pleas
ure parties. Of course, there ure times
when young couples do not wish to be
intruded upon, but they are very few of
us, esjiecially the monied ones, who have
passed through many such scenes, who
cannot tell when our company is an in

Will and Walt are very zealous prayer

they go to call on the young ladies and

PIMM LOG.
Nice rains have fallen, the weather a
little cool since. Farmers were all glad
to see the rain.
Wheat is looking only tolerably well in
this section, it looks very healthy, but
not as tall as it ought to be at this time.
Your correspondent has seen but little
good clover. There is but little of any
kind. Why is it? Will the land not pro
duce good clover? Fair tests have proven
to the contrary. Our farmers should
give more attention to the growing of
grass and clover, and to the raising of
stock. Nineteen twentieths of oui farm
ers grow cotton as their principal crop,
when it is all the time making the masses
poorer and poorer, and there are only a
few who will not acknowledge it. There
are several ways in which cotton is ruin
ing the country. The credit system is
gradually bankrupting the people, and
the growth of cotton is the prime cause.
Renters buy supplies on a credit, paying
nearly twice as much as w hat they can
Is* bought at for cash, and mortgage a
crop to pay for them, besides paying
eight per cent, interest. Men are ruining
their land, running themselves deeper
and deeper in debt, and wearing them
selves out. This is not a cotton country,
it takes too much fertilizer to mature the
cropland every dollar’s worth of the
stuff" used on cotton takes two from the
value of the land. Some may take ex
ceptions to this, and to such I will say
study carefully and see if it is not true.
CASS STATION.
Cass is slightly disfigured, but still in

The most terrific wind storm Hi at this
section of the country ever experienced,
passed through here Friday night about
nine o’clock. Burns were blown down,
fences torn uwuy, trees uprooted, and
in one instance a dwelling was blown
dow non its inmates, t hough none were
dangerously injured.* Mr. ( loud, who
farms on Mr. Dobbin’s plantation, was
the unfortunate man whose house was
blown down. The room in which Mr. (’.
was sleeping toppled over, and fortunate
he was blown out in the yard and sus
tained no injuries, but was considerably
frightened. The colored woman who
cooks for him, and two negro boys wen*
sleeping in the kitchen. The roof col
lapsed on them, and one of the boys
crawled out, and together with Mr. (’loud
soon succeeded in rescuing the others
from their perilous position. The w oman
was found to be considerably bruised up,
while the boy was unhurt, save a few
scratches. Mr. (’. M. Quillian’s stable
was completely wrecked, and his cow was
fastened down among the timbers, but
was soon extricated from her uncomfor
table position and found to Is* unhurt,
which was something very remarkable.
Both of Mr. Taylors large barns w ere
unroofed and some of his fodd< r carried
among the tree tops. His stock was fin
injured. The barns of Messrs. J. H.
Walker, jr.. and I>. H. Farter, were blown
down. Several other buildings in the
community of minor importance were
destroyed. Nearly all the fences were
torn down, and the loss of fruit trees will
be great. We all feel very thankful that
the loss of life was spared, and the dam
age no greater.
All the fanners were out early Satur

TROUBLES WITH INDIANS.
The Kiowws Committing Depredation* on
the Cattle Men.
Adviivs from Anadarko Indian A>xenry
are to tin* effect that there has been
great excitement there owing to the
action of the Kiowas. War talk began
over a week ago, but Qaauuli Parker,
Chief of the Conianehes. not only held hia
own trilie in cheek, but influenced the
Itetter element of the Kiowas. But few
of this tribe would listen to him. and
with their war talk Iregan depredations
on the cattle men. A band of them
roamed over the cattle country, visiting
residences and greatly frightening the
women and children. They made such
demonstration about the. school at An
dark oas to terrorize the children. The
military were notified and Captain Hall
determined to withhold beef rations from
the Kiowas that had caused the trouble,
but when Friday came more of the lead
ers came in and it was then determined to
arrest them.
This becoming known, the Kiowas
became alarmed, and leaving their traps,
wagons, etc., took their women ami
children and all their ponies to a st rong
hold on the Rainy Mountain, about
forty miles from Anadarko. Troops
were at one sent in pursuit and went into
camp on the Witckita, eight miles from
the Indian position. They advanced to
the base of the mountain on the follow
ing night. After three days' parley the
Indians agreed to give up the offending
Indians to the soldiers located near the
fort, where they could be watched. The
troops returned to Anadarko with the
prisoners.

Another Life Saved.
About two years ago, a prominent cit

his system was so debilitated that there
was nothing left to build on. He made
up his mind to try a “new departure.'’
He got some of Dr. Pierce s “Golden
Medical Discovery.’’ and took it accor

prove at once. He kept up the treat

saved his life.
Georgia ISaptists.
The Baptist Convention of the State of
Georgia was first organised in 1822
when scarcely 25,000 Baptists answered
to the roll call of faith in the State. The
representation of the denomination, at
the lake convention at Albany, is from a
membership of over 100,000, of church
members of this convention. At Rome,
Ga. in 1880, the convention reported,
99,000, (in round numbers), represented.
Within the last Axsocintional year 10,-
500 have been added to that number
through accessions b.V baptism, which
swells the total to 109,500. The colored
Baptist of Georgia have 110,000 com
municants, which, together with the
Missionary and Hhardshell white Bap
tists. makes the grand total of the army
of Baptist workers enlisted under the
banner of Christ 295,000. The Georgia
Slate convention lias had but five mod
erators within the fifty eight yeais of its
existence.

WARD’S WOES.
Maxey’s, Ga , January, 1886.
For twelve or fourteen years I have
beeu a great sufferer from a terrible form
of blood poison which rau into the sec
ondary and finally it was pronounced ter
tiary form. My bead, face and shoul
ders became almost a mass of corruption
and finally the disease commenced eating
my skull bones. I became so horribly
repulsive that for three years I absolutely
refused to let people see me I used large
quantities of most noted blood medicines
and applied to nearly all physicians near
me, but my condition continued to grow
worse, and all said that 1 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 bad been used I was
pronounced sound and well
Hundreds of scars can be seen on
me, looking like a man who bad 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,anil to extend my heart
felt thanks for so valuab e a remedy. I
have been well over twelve months, and
no return of the disease has occurred.

Maxny's Ga , January, 1886—We, the
undersigned, know Mr Robert Ward, and

stated by him are true, and that his was
