Cartersville Must, Have a Fire
Department.
Some communities and municipalities,
as well as some people, never learn any
thing save by experience. Lost week,
the citixens of Cartersville took their
lesson in experience, such as has long
been anticipated, and one that we trust
will be heeded. The fire last Saturday was
enough to open the eyes of our people
and forcibly impress upon them the fact, j
that our town stands absolutely at tin
mercy of lire fiend, with no protectioi
whatever. But for the most favorable
circumstances, the loss from this one
little blaze would have bepn great, and
probably a large iHirtioin of the business
part of town destroyed. We repeat, the
fire lust week CM be viewed only in tl.e
light of a practical less* n to our i>eople,
and should be accepted by them as such.
Will they profit by it, or will they dis
regard it until it is too lute? The time
may et ine, we know not how soon, wL©a
the need of precautionery measures and
protection aguinst this insidious fiend
will lie more heavily felt than it is now
A slight blaze and a strong wind, would
soon sweep over the business part of
town, nntil property worth many times
the cost of uu engine and cisterns would
be destroyed.
Cisterns and engines would possibly
not cost exceeding $5,000. This amount
could be raised by individual subscriptions
from our business men and property
O-ne b; ihj ladies could interest them
selves and get up a series of entertain
ments for the benefit of such an under
taking, and the balunce could be secured
by city appropriation. In this way the
entire cost of fitting up and equipping a
a first-class fire department, could be
secured without being scarcely felt.
A well organized fire system would not
only give security and protection, but
would save the "cost in one year, in re
ducing insurance tariffs.
Let the matter be agitated, and Car
tersville will not stop short of a first-class
fire department.
Money Coining South.
There is no disputing the fact that the
northern people are fast finding out that
the south is not what the bloody shirt
howlers would have them believe. They
are also finding out very rapidly’ our
glorious resources, and as their wealth is
starving to death for investment in their
already overcrowded section they are
letting it loose upon southern prospects.
Hon. W. D. Kelley, of “Pig Iron” fame,
has done much to draw aside the curtain
of misrepresentation, and presenting to
the northern eye the great truth as to
our section. His articles to the Balti
more Manufacturers Record are able and
convincing, for which he has the thanks
of the whole southland. No man could
better fill the position of mouth-piece
for our section, and no uiaa has more in
fluence with the northern people, especi
ally those engaged in the iron industry.
Apropos the probability of the influx
of uorthem capitulcoming iutothesouth
we will quote from a well known business
man who came south a few months ago,
and lmsbeeu influential in inducing much
capital to come south he said that large
sums which were now loaned in the
norl h at 4 and 5 per cent, will soon come
into this territory where it will yield
readily 0 or 7 percent. One cause of
eastern money going west was that the
west hud always given a ready return
of the principal with a good rate of in
terest. It was somewhat difficult, there
fore, to convince northern capitalists
that the same return could be had in the
south. The money dealings with the
south in the last two or three years have
sho*vn capitalists that direct investments
here are a good thing, and sure. And
the carefulness of business me* who ne
gotiate the loans lure, in making aready
return, will build up confidence in the
southern money interests, and will be a
great factor in bringing capital here.
Hundreds of thousands of northern cap
ital, if the truth were known, are invest
ed here. The investments are secure,
and with the exercise of care the south
will, in a few years, be rid of that Im
pression that has forced her Into the
background in all money matters,
Coroners’ Juries.
Th death of Green Rickerson in the
Bibb county jail recalls a case w r hieh
must tie of interest to all those who
watch the proceedings of coroners’ juries
in this State.
One Sunday morning upon the Central
railroad track, near Mercer University,
in the city of Macon, a negro man was
found dead, Several trains having pass
ed over him, and His body was fearfully
mangled. By his clothes, however, he
was identified as a well known hackman.
Most of the coroners’ jury were of the
opinion that the hackman had be, n
killed by a train, and such would have
been the verdict if u police offi er and a
newspaper reporter had not made ob
jections. These two made a careful ex
amination up and down the track near
the spot where the body was found, and
discovered a pool of blood which indica
ted that the unfortunate hackman had
been killed and afterwards placed on the
railroad track. Upon the suggestion of
the officer and the reporter the jury
spent several days investigating the
case, and the result was a verdict charg
ing Green Rickerson with having murder
ed the hackman. Rickerson was ar
rested, tried and convicted, and but for
his death would undoubtedly have suf
fered the penalty of his crime.
One of the result* of the painstaking
work of the jury was th&t the Central
railroad was saved a suit for heavy dam
ages. Another was that succeeding cor
oner’s juries in Bibb counties have made
it a rule to discharge theirdu ties leisurely
and with the object of getting <rt the
truth
The inefficiency of coroners’ juries in
Georgia has passed into a proverb. The
sittings are usually short, the exan i.ia
tions hurried and superficial, ending in
the expenditure of the State’s money
without compensating results. In most
cases the verdict amounts to nothing |
more than this: “We, the jury, fiud that
the dead man now lying before us is
dead.”
Coroners, in common with other
officers of the law, have an important
duty to discharge. Whenever jt is neces
sary to summon a jury they ought to
see that the investigation in hand is a 1
thorough one. Otherwise the ends of
justice may be defeated. It would lx; ;
better to spend a month upon a single
investigation than to let a crime go un
punished.—Savannah Times.

Frohibifion in Floyd.
With the present lights before us it is
pluiu to see that Floyd county will soon
be put down as a dry county, thanks to j
the untiring efforts of some of Rome’s
best citizens and our own Rev. Rani.
Jones. The great Jones-Small revival
that closed Sunday night, set the ball in
motion and the agitation of the subject
will become warmer and warmer from
now until the election, which it is thought
■vill be held in July. Petitions to the or
dinary calling for an election were cireu
ated during the meeting and no time
> icarcely was occupied in getting up the
requisite number of names of voters.
While on every hand it is admitted that
prohibition will prevail, it should be born
in mind by the friends of the cause to be up
and doing. Over confidence may lose the
fight. The fact is the tactics of the
whisky menareseemingly slow’, but they
are at work in earnest, and will bring
their greatest efforts to bear in carrying
the election. In campaign matters they
have every ad vantage—a bettor chance
to “work” the floating vote, and it is
upon this element that the prohibition
hit* w'ant to turn their attention.
The prohibition cause is in good hands
in Floyd county and cannot fail to be
successful, only, possibly, by lethargy and
over-confidence. They will not be har
rassed by the bought up negro votes of
adjacent counties and Alabama,—a good
registration law protects them there.
With such a favorable chance let every
man, woman and child exert his or her
influence for all it is worth; wage a cease
less war upon the demon fluid, and when
the vote is counted it will be found that
the moastsr has been routed and good
old Floyd county and beautiful Rome
have been ’redeemed.
Work, work, work, should be the
watchword of every true lover of moral

The Situation.
Editors Couhant-Amkuican ;-Muchhas
been written of late as to the cause of the
crippled condition of farmers, and the
remedy.
Thao the low price of cotton is one
cause no one doubts, but this is not the
only trouble.
The customs and habits incident to our
progressive civilization have developed a
fast line of living, that has caused debt
to exeeed income.
When the country people cease to ape
town folks, and town folks cease to gape
at city ways, and citv swains and belles
develope enough courage to resist the
absurd capricious dictation of Paris,
there will be a chance for a balance in
favor of the credit side of the ledger.
Those not engaged in farming devise
too many picnics, excursions, conven
tions and all kinds of convocations at
the most critical season of the year for
the farming interests, and as these things
have grown into a settled custom, all
look forward to May, as children do to
Christmas, u.ul the result is farm opera
tions must yield though the sifter stops.
For should the farmer put his foot on it,
young America and whisky would go into
spasms, and our “Bro in Black” would
say, “Freedom do’n worf a cent.”
Why not adopt August for recreation,
frolicking and prodigality, and allow the
farmer to support the country?
If editors, preachers, teachers, and
other crafts wish to meet for united
edification or jollification, no other in
terest will be infringed upon, unless it be
the larder of hospitality.
Rut for rollicking incarnate idleness
to stimulate the farmer’s family, and
especially his wage and share laborer, to
drop and run to all these foolish and
expensive jollifications, week after week,
is enough to discourage the frugal farmtr
and place his property ruder mortgage.
Society is progressing to the tune of
“Eat, drink and be merry for to-morrow
we die.”
Let the young people, the old people
and laborers all have a good time, but
not at a time when every available force
should be under requisition to make
bread.
Amid the ge ierai dearth there are good
crops of children of both races, lawyers,
doctors, preachers, third and fourth class
public school teachers, drummers, boom
ers, picuieers, excurtionists, socialists,
anarchists, politicians, railroad employ
ees, shade-seekers, gas-pipers, McCorbers,
poor mules, razor back hogs, flee, curs,
setters, and hound dogs, cigars and pipe
smokers, tobacco and gum chewers,
opium and snuff eaters, singing leaders,
dudes and v’l takers, palmetto and sky
scraping hats, editors, reporters, fourtii
ciass postmasters, circulars of quack
nostrums, japan clover, broom sedge,
gullies, jewberries, vines, sarsafros sprouts
and dog fennel.
To supplement this array of advers
forces, nature seems to indulge in freaks
of abnormal seasons. Thus, the farmer
is forced to ask the unanswerable ques
tion, “what shall I plant that will re
ward my labor and keep the wolf from
my door?”

AN OLD “MAMMIE” DEAD,

Chattanooga Times. 81st ult.]
Col. Tomlinson Fort left the city yes
terday afternoon on the Western and
Atlantic train en route to Milledgeville,
Ga., where he goes on a sad mission. He
recc’ved a telegram from that place yes
terday morning announcing the death of
Mary Allston,' an aged colored woman
who was the “mamniin” to the Fort
children for more than fifty years. She
belonged to the Fort family before the
war, and when the slaves were freed her
former owners bought her a pretty home
in Milledgeville, where she lived until her
death, all of which time she was support
ed by the children she had nursed in in
fancy. Whenever a member of any of the
Fort families was sick “Mamuiie,” as she
was called, was always sent for and she
never failed to respond. Her picture ap
peared in the handsome railway guide
issued by the Western & Atlantic rail
road as “A Typical Southern Muinmie,”
aud she certainly looked it.
The object of Col. Fort’s visit to Mil
ledgeville is to attend the funeral of the
good old wc>man and look after her af

THE WILD WEST IN EARNEST.
Senator Platt.’* Committee See Some A
toiiutliiug Sigltti.
Senator Platt's committee, who have
been investigating the India*, question,
ran across some facts in their recent ti ij >
to the Indian Terrtorv which, the Sena
tor says, opened their eyes to some fea
tures of the Indian question which aston
ished them. Coming into the Osage
country, they found a million and a half
of acres reserved for about fifteen hun
dred people, two-thirds of which number
are full bloods, as uncultured and worth
less as their ancestors of a century ago.
These jieople are—per capita—people the
wealthiest on the globe. If their trust
fund and their laud were divided among
them, every man, woman and child would
possess a fortune of about $12,000. A
few of them have taken farming; but this
development is not all that might be
gathered from the bare statement. They
toil not with their own hands, but em
ploy white men to do it. The fastidious
autocrats are daily seen coming to the
agency wrapped in their gaudy blankets
to purchase supplies. For their own con
sumption they scl- ct the most delicate
viands and will take nothing else, but for
their white laborers they buy thp cheaper
and coarser grades.
The habits of these beings were not
taken by the committee upon trust. A
dance had been in progress for a week
when the committee reached the agency,
and is doubtless going on yet. It was
but a mile or two distant, and the visi
tors became spectators. It was a religious
festival, and two or three hundred dusky
pagans, braves, squaws and cubs, with a
thousand or more wolfish dogs, were
tented there together. Only the braves
participated in the dance. Among them
were stalwart fellows with grave Web
steiian faces, short fat men with jolly
expressions, who laughed at their own
failures to emulate the leaps of the more
lightly, dainty, high-stepping dudes,
whose make-ups no circus clown would
dare imitate.
A dozen of the lustiest howlers, armed
with drums, formed the orchestra or
choir. The dancers performed solos,
duets and choruses, and were not un
graceful in some of their antics. Tl eir
faces wore looks of deep earnestness, and
they were evidently inspired with the be
lief that their spectators—cow-boys,
agency people and strangers—were
envious.
These matters, the senator says, were
not marvels in themselves; they might,
barring the background of prairie hills,
the odors and some of the domestic de
tails be looked for in a Wild West show,
or among the Apaches and Rioux farther
West, but to fiml that beings who had
experienced the straining and protecting
power of the government and the best
efforts of American philanthropy for a
score of years had made no appreciable
advance beyond the state of their savage
ancestors of the last century was a very
unexpected and painful revelation. It
was especially sad to learn that two of
the sprightliest of the dancers, covered
almost all over with little looking-glasses,
sleigh bells, rings, feathers and ribbons,
were graduates of the Carlisle Indian
School who have relapsed into shame
less savagery. The committee withdrew
after witnessing this display of Arcadian
domesticity for two or three hours, filled
with a conviction that our national
Indian policy is not accomplishing all
that was exjiected of it. la their contact
with experienced men—traders, agents
aud employes—they found it to be
almost universal opinion that to feed
and clothe the savages and to guard
them tenderly against all the influences
and necessities which have served to
civilize white men is not calculated to
make them good citizens, in which opin
ion Senator Platt confesses a disposition
to concur. The Indian, has, indeed,
ceased to be dangerous us savages, but
only to become the most despicable of
worthless idlers. An examination of the
traders’ stores incidentially developed the
fact that people have almost lost the
habit of self-helpfullness, even as regards
their distinctly savage rites and customs.

There is no little excitement in Walker
county, Ga., over the appearance of a
baud of ku klux, for the first time in fif
teen years. Miles Hammond, a promi
nent farmer and bridge builder, was the
person who received the attention of the
band.
Several weeks ago a Miss Kiudriek, be
longing to one of the best families in
North Georgia, was brutally outraged
by a negro. He was finally captured in
Alabama and taken back to the scene of
his crime, where he narrowly escaped
lynching. It is stated that when Ham
mond heard of the matter, he remarked
that Miss Kbidrick’s character was not
such as should receive so much sympathy,
and to make a long scory short, accord
ing to the reports, he insinuated that the
girl’s reputation was questionable.
A few nights wince a band of masked
men rode to Hammond’s house and noti
fied hi:n that he would be severally dealt
with if he did not cease circulating the
slanderous reports. It is further stated,
that a bucket of tar and some feathers
were found near Hammond’s house,
showing that the ku klux had rough
treatment in store for him.
Fifteen to twenty thousand workmen

A pound can of each powder was taken, the total leavening power or volume In

Prof. Schedler only proves what every observant consumer of the Royal Baking
Powder knows by practical experience, that, while it costs a few cents per pound
more than ordinary kinds, it is far more economical, and, besides, affords the advan
tage of better work. A single trial of the Royal Baking Powdef will convince any
fair-minded person of these facts.

A I)u<le of the Latest Pattern.
For the benefit of theyoungsters in our
midst who are prone to star through
this world as a dude, we publish the fol
lowing from the Oil City Derrick. The
Couuant-Ameuican tries to keep up with
the times, even in the dude line:
We note a slight change in the new
spring style of dude. His head is shaped
still more like a five (‘ent loaf of bread
and his legs are a trifle more howed than
last year. This feature in the change of
style seems to us superfluous and un
necessary, aud we presume it is all right.
At any rate we do not propose to rail
against the degrees of fashion. The new
- dude carries his cane at an angle of
forty-five degrees, suspended airily be
tween his thumb and finger. The cane
is) occasionally changed from one hand
to the other so as not to make the dude
lop-sided. The dude’s pants are larger
this year than formerly, or else the dude
himself is shrinking, we are not certain
which it is: His collar seems to be an
exaggerated shirt cuff fastened at the top
w ith sleeve buttons. If the new spring
dude can induce a dog to follow him so
much the better, but we note a disinclina
tion on the part of dogs this year to do
the following act.

“Yes ; I shall break the engagement,”
she said, folding her arms and looking
defiant; it is really too much trouble to
converse with him ; lie’s as deaf as a post,
and talks like he hudamouthful of mush.
Besides, the way he hawks aud spits is
disgusting.” “Don’t break the engage
ment for that; tell him to take Dr. Sage’s
Catarrh Remedy. It will cure him com
pletely.” “Well, I’ll tell him. Ido hate
to break it off, for in all other respects
he’s quite too charming.” Of course, it
cured his catarrh.
