Tiik Macon Telegraph liuh heard that a baby wits born in Birmingham oil Mon day oflnst, week, and by Saturday it had learned to say “option” as well an ils papa.

The state fair authorities are liestir ring theaaehes all end y and will show s tme great attractions nest fall. Such a state as Georgia can show two big fails as is promised by the Piedmont and G nagia State associations. It costs something to the patriotic. Wheu John Swinton began the labor tight he lived in a brownstoue front, and had a rfutf tit cuinine and fBfi.OOO in Gov ernment bonds, the latter saved by hard ncwspa|M*r work at night. To-day he is Jiving on the top floor of a Brooklyn tenement lions* 1 , his projierty lost, but his spirits cheerful. The unveiling of the Falhoun Statue at Charleston, S. C. on last Tuesday was a complete success, attended by au immense throng. The occasion was n great epoch in the history of the city by the Ken, and did honor to tin* grand man whose memory it was commemorative. The oration of Hon. L. tj. C. Lamar, was a masterly effort. A Boston paper says: “The shrewdest free advertising job that has been achiev ed for years is by the Western and Atlan tic railroad in getting a complete map of their new road printed in the records of the War Department at Washington, as standard authority of the Atlanta rom pnign of 18fl8-(ln. Those southern rail 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 ind each other names in italic, Dutch and everything else that can be brought into requisition. The rending of the on 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 gomery Monday, declared that their bus iness was demoralized, and suffering from the effects of the new law. They ask the suspension of the fourth clause of the bill. It is said that President Cleveland, has made it a rule,ever since he went into office, to save three-fifths of his salary. The tide of immigration has turned at last. A Swedish ex-plorer is now prepar ing for a voyage to the South pole. 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. We ought not to lie too anxious to encourage untried inovation, in eases of doubtful improvement. For a quarter of a century I)r.

NEIGHBORHOODS, Ami semi Them Keil Hot to the KeaJers of the M oiii'aiit-American.’ GRASSDALE. Miss Ella Montgomery, from near Rome, spent a week with the family of her undo, W. W. Montgomery. Mr. W. W. Montgomery received a tel egram telling him of the critical condi tion of his father, w ho lived near Daniels ville. he started immediately but did not reach his old home until after the death of his aged parent. After spending a few days among friends and relatives, he r* 1 - turned to his home. The two Mr. Gibbons, from Virginia, after sjlending some ten days with rela tives returned to Rome. Our young people had a fishing party at Iron ville on Saturday. All say they ha*l a splendid time. 1 have made in 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 trusion. Will and Walt are very zealous prayer m**eting attendants, they are not. daunt ed by having to walk, especially when they go to call on the young ladies and find they have gone. Hope their zeal will not grow any the less. Miss Emma Hawkins has been confined to the house for two weeks with dipthe ria, but is now better. Miss Mary Battle was kept at home last week from school with diptheria, but is now better. Frank Weems, from Rome, was among us last week. We still look upon Frank as one of our boys. Will Battle, is suffering with an attack of sore eyes. Will looks quite dudeish w ith glasses on. Am glad to say the storm did no dam age among us, but must acknowledge that w e were considerably scared up. Everybody is going to the singing con vention at Fine Log next Saturday and Sunday, 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 circumference. 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 day morning, and as Dink Walker would have it “attitudinizing their rails.” Mr. M. L. Johnson went to Piuelog Saturday. Mrs. Carter Williams, of Cartersville, is visiting Maj. Hoss’ family. Dr. C. F. Griffin, and lady visited At lanta Saturday. Mr. It. H.

Wikle & Cos. 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. Hr.sh o 1 may change in some things but an ohl well tried remedy is grappled with hooks of steel. Such is White's Cream Vermifuge, which lias a larger sale than any so-called remedy, because it never fails to expel worms from a child who is their victim. Therefore do not defer its use, but relieve your child sj>eedly by a dose of White’s Cream Vermifuge. Another Life Saved. About two years ago, a prominent cit izen of Chicago was told by his physic ians that he must die. They said that 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 ding to directions. He began to im prove at once. He kept up the treat ment for some months and is to-day a well man. He says the “Discovery” 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. jHOOD'S/^ Mu Tlic importance of purifying the blood can not be overestimated, for without pure blood you cannot enjoy good health.

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.
