Let not a dis senting hand be raised against the pro ject of securing one. The iiiogeht boom Rome can now en joy is a genuine proh.bit'on boom. Go it boys, this is a boom that never flags or suffers from flatulency. President Cleveland is at Saranac Lake catching speckled trout, so the telegrams say. He catches those kind of democrats every day in Washington. Jesse James is alive and doing as bad as ever. He got drunk in Atlanta Mon day, went home and whipped his wife and children. He was lined heavily by the recorder. Col. J. N. Hale, of Henry county, Ga., has brought suit against the Central railroad, under the civil-rights law, be cause he was not allowed to ride in the car set apart for colored passengers. Hoover, the yankee agitator, who was shot last week in Wa renton, has recov ered sufficiently to leave the state. His incendiary s|s*eches did not suit the mid dle Georgians and they made the vaga bond leave. He left for North Carolina. The NeW York World will soon start a balloon from St. Louis to New York.

William Echols, a young man living at Cornelia, Ga., was waylaid and mur dered near his home Sunday night. He was a v;erv popular young man and his horrible death has stirred up that section fearfully. A negro man, Charlie Edwards, has been arrested on suspicion as having committed the murder. Col. Scott Thornton, Atlanta's histri orie contribution, scored a success as Richelieu Monday night, according to the city pajiers. Scott now has the ex igence and if he can find the man with the money all will be well. We hope the new railroad law will not deter the Scott Thornton combination from ’‘bitting the grit.” Since the death of Mr. Beecher, the throng* of atrangere who used to wend th*ir way every Sunday to Plymouth church have turned their foot*tis in an other direction, and now the Tabernrnde of Mr. Talmage is crowded beyond its capacity every time the famous divine enters the pulpit. So great has been the increase in attendance at the Tabernacle that Dr. Talmage has made arrange ments to build a wing, and thus increase the seating capacity. A Washington dispatch to a Philadel. phia paper says the administration is stirred up on the tariff question. Secre tary Fairchild is said to be seriously con t*inplating a movement to concentrate democrats in the house and senate upon a measure of tariff reduction. It is pro posed to have a consultation between Messrs, ltuudall and Carlisle with a view to obtaining concessions from each, and if a bill satisfactory to both sides cannot be euvolved, then Secretary Fairchild, with the President's approval, will pre pare a bill w hich will strike between the conflicting interests. The color question has got the inter state commerce commission. A com plaint has l>een from a colored man, Win. H. Council, ii.gain.-it the Western & At lantic railroad, who says ho was forcibly ejected from a first-class car after having bought a first-class ticket. He wants $25,000 for his wounded feeliugs. Com missioner Bragg, in speaking of the mat ter says that the railroads should fur nish first-class coaches for the blacks the same as they do for the whites. The roads exacts the purchase of first-class tickets of the blacks and then furnish them only thi: d-class accommodations. He w ill no doubt make an effort for a charms, compelling the roads to furnish a (list-class coach for the “brother in black.” Delays auk Dangerous.

G enn Jones. 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. Go to 0. T. Jones’ for Choice Sweet and Sour Dickies.

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 ity mid good order in Floyd county. 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?” With all these resources rapidly de veloping, wherever Rome may be, Bartow is but one-fourth of a mile from bank ruptcy.

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 fairs. She will be buried by Col. Fort, acting for his relatives.

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. Their wampum is made in New Jersey, their blankets come from Philadelphia, their silver jewelry is bought for them iu St, Louis and some of their more elabor ate and costly adornments are ordered especially from Germany. Iu short, the manifold resources of modern civiliza tion are made tributary to the mainte nance of their disgusting barbarism. . Bad For Both. Ladies of weakly constitution and delicate physique who attempt to Huckie their infants prejudice their own health as well as enfeeble aud injure their child ern. Lactated Food is the best tusfen ance for ths little ones, as many physicians and mothers testify. 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 are idle in Chicago, becanse contractors insist upon making Monday or Tuesday pay day instead of Saturday. The con tractors say they need twenty-four hours after Saturday evening to make up the pay rolls.

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.
