Official Oraan of Bartow County-
THIRSDAY, .TI NE 23, 1887.
The tramp is not disturbed over the
flag sensation. He carries the banner
still.
The Piedmont exposition promises to
do on mnrh good for this section as did
the famous cotton exposition.
I.K r our farmers who are now harvest
ing save a small amount of their best
wheat and oats threshed and unthreeh
to be put with Bartow’s collection at
the Piedmont exposition.
Floyd county is moving ahead in get
ting up a display of her riches at the
Piedmont exposition. Bartow has more
mineral than Floyd and our people
should be moving in the matter or we
may find another county claiming credit
for our wealth.
Beast Butler got up in a meeting at
Boston the other day and denounced the
President for ordering the Confederate
flags returnee!. Hold Ben will just re
t irn the silver spoons that lie stole from
New Orleans he may keep all the Hags
he had a hand in capturing.
Our sympathies are hereby tendered to
our friend, Bartow Milner, of the East
man Times, who lost by fire his printing
office. W hen it is considered that there
was no insurance the loss falls heavily
on our friend. W'e know that his indom
nitable pluck will bring forth the Times
brighter than ever.
We respectfully call the attention of
the authorities of the State Deaf and
Dumb Asylum to the practicability of
teaching pupils the art of barbering.
What a blessing a first-class barbershop
conducted by deaf and dumb artists
would be to any community, and my,
my, what a rush there would beat such
establishments!
The following from West Liberty,
Tcnn., shows what kind of snakes they
have up in Kentucky: “James M. Amix,
of the Yocum neighborhood, lias a pet
black snake six feet long. The snake has
been about Mr. Amyx's house and barn
for eight years. The children play with
the snake, lead it about with a string
and handle it without fear.” This may
be simply an “ad” of the sublimity of
Kentucky whiskey.
Tp the principal keeper of the peniten
tiary would inform the public from his
books, the number of convicts in that
institution now serving a second term,
*.r oftener, he would give the people and
f he press some useful data to direct them
in efforts to act intelligently for its wise
administration. It is current opinion
that, liuudiers, principal negroes, after
serving a term, and are discharged,
commit other crimes to get back again,
liking the treatment so well. Let us
have the facts.—Milledgeville Recorder.
In speaking of the muss being kicked
ii|i about the proposed return of the
confederate battle Hags, the Atlanta
Journal has this to say:
The south can do without them, the
government that sent them to the field
has been dead for nearly a quarter of a
century. There is nothing left of the
Confederacy that the Grand Army of the
Republic needs to be afraid of. We have
our legless and armless, our lame and
disabled who draw no pensions, but who
pay pensions to the victors. Aside from
these the Confederacy consists only of
graves and memories—the graves of as
brave men as ever drew breath and mem
ories of deeds of valor that tin* Grand
Army of the Republic never surpassed.
We cun do without the flags.
The Atlanta Journal.
The Atlanta Journal seems to be Hlling
a long felt want in Georgia. It is clear,
bright, brave and resolute. It has al
ready been largely instrumental in abol
ishing the infamous bucketshop business
which has so disgraced Atlanta. It
promises to be the organ of the people
—and the reflector of the best sense of
the community. We await with some
anxiety the outcome of this paper. Will
it, stick? That's the question-will it
stick? The people of Georgia have been
so often fooled—they have so often pin
ned their faith to the opening reformer,
only to find him wearing beneath his
young enthusiasm the collar of the Ring,
that they view with suspicion any very
loud protestation of patriotism and pu
rity. Just now they are asking: “Will
the Journal stick?”
Those of our readers who desire an able
and fearless evening paper would do well
to subscribe for the Atlanta Journal.
Futures ami Bucket Shops.
The following is an extract from a de
cision by Judge Blanford, of the Supreme
court of Georgia:
“It is manifest that the consideration
of the note sued on is for and on account
of dealings commonly called “futures.”
Is such a transaction in the nature of
gaming? The transaction termed futures
is this: One j>erson says that I will sell
you cotton at acertain time in the future
for a certain price; you agree to pay
that price; knowing that the person you
dealt with hus no cottou to deliver at
that time, but with the understanding
that when the time arrives for delivery
you are to pay him the difference be
tween what you promised to give and
the advanced market price. If this is
not a simulation on chances, a wager
ing and betting between the parties, then
we are unable to understand the trans
action. A betting on a game of farb,
brag or poker cannot be more hazar
dous, dangerous or uncertain. Indeed,
ir may be said that these animals are
tame, gentle and submissive, compared
to this monster. The law has caged
them and driven them to their dens; they
have been outlawed, while this ferocious
beast has'lxen allowed to stalk about in
open midday, with gilded signs and flam
ing advertisements, to lure the unhappy
victim 1o its. embrace of death and de
struction. What are some of the conse
quence of these speculations on ‘futures?’
The faithful chroniclers of the day have
informed us, as growing directly out of
these nefarious practices, that there have
been bankruptcies, defalcations of pub
lic officers, embezzlements, forgeries, lar
cenies and death.”
The Battle Flags.
We concur with*the Constitution. The
lest place for the battle flags is among
the archives of the nation. There let
them remain. They are the mementoes
of imperishable renown the mute re
minders of a valor which shall gleam on
history’s page when in mention ofSalamis,
Thermopylae and Balakeva no longer
stirs the pulse of man. We have our
dead. They are safe. They lie in ceme
teries where the briar and the weed strug
gle for mastery over their gallant hearts.
Be it so. Faith, confident of the ulti
mate verdict of that Justice which some
times sleejis, but never dies, lifs her serene
eyes to the future, and beholds impartial
History, declaring in every land, in ev
ery tongue, the* story of their deathless
heroism.
Let the Nation keep her heroes'
flags. Preserve them well. They shall
be shrines hereafter to which all citizens
of this and other lands may well turn
und baring their heads before the glo
rious old battle rent banners, exclaim,
“God of Liberty, nerve the men of my
lund with valor such as filled the souls of
those who inarched to battle beneath
these flags,”
Let the. Nation preserve the flags.
Hereafter our children, will want to look
upon them. Keep them safe in our Father's
house. Home day we exjiect to see these
old flags brought out and given to the
the breeze, twined with the star spangled
banner, at the head of some national
regiment.
I,et the Nation preserve her heroic Con
federate children’s battle flags. We
would like to see the flag of the glorious
old 18th Georgia tendered to the gov
ernment that it may be preserved in the
capital forever. We would have it bear
this inscription: “ This is the flag of the
18th Georgia Regiment, Confederate
States Volunteers, of the Army of North
ern Virginia. Robert E. Lee bared his
illustrious head and saluted it on the
field as it was borne past him in a charge
which cleared the foe as the whirlwind
sweeps the chaff away. The fair lock of
hair which binds the remnants of this tat
tered flag together was cut from the tem
ple of a New York Zouave, A shell tore
through the flag, when the color bearer
stooped and, cutting this lock from the
Zouave’s brow, tied up theflag and lifted it
again in the hellstorm of battle, the lock
gleaming like gold above the men who
cheered again and again at this most
glorious amendment.
“The survivors of the 18th Georgia
Regiment Confederate States Volunteers
of the Army of Northern Virginia, present
this flag to the Nation, that it may be
preserved at the capitol forever, where
the citizens of the entire country may
view it, and pilgrims from every land
through all coming years behold
the Imttle flag of that regiment whos e
glorious achievements on the field of bat
tle its surviving members look to history
to record and the love of liberty to per
petuate in the minds of meu forever.
“The survivors of the 18th Georgia
Regiment Confederate Stales Volunteers
of the Army of Northern Virginia pre
sent this flag to the Nation, conscious
tin t American valor is thecommon prop
erty of the whole people. As citizens of
a united country we rejoice in the heroism
of the gallant men against whom wo
contended. We salute their memofy.
They were worthy of our steel.
‘“Glory to God in the highest. Peace
on earth; good will to men.”’
Bartow County and the Piedmont Fair.
The Coe rant-A m k uican desires to again
suggest to the agricultural clubs of the
county, to the owners of mineral prop
erties, and to the citizens generally, the
urgent need of taking some immediate
and organized action looking to a com
plete and thorough county exhibit at the
Piedmont Fair.
The importance of making such an ex
hibit, and its value to the county if prop
erly made is simply inestimable. We
wonder that the tide of wealth and cap
ital does not flow into this county, and
our wonder is oceassioned by our own
personal knowledge of our mineral and
agricultural resources. We forget that
the men whom we wish to attract here
are ignorant of all this; and we make no
effort, by properly advertising, to draw
their attention and presence hither. It
occurs to us that the various agricultu
ral clubs of the county might unite to
call a meeting of the citizens to discuss
the matter on some day during the ap
proaching term of our suj>erior court.
The mine owners stand ready amt willing
to heartily co-operate. Let an organiza
tion be then effected; a fund raised for
the purpose of securing the best possible
collection, arrangement and exhibition
of every product of tb' c— lj wu.L ; n
any way illustrates the wonderful extent
and variety of her resources; a suitable
commissioner employed who shall have
general charge and control, and commit
tees appointed in every district and com
munity in the county, whose duties it
shall be to aid the general commission
er. These are but crude suggestions,
only intended to indicate generally
the course of action which vve think
should be pursued. Will not our citi
zens wake up aud make such an exhibit
as will prove to the world w hat we know
to be true, that in all that attracts the
capitalist and the home-seeker Bartow
county is without a rival or a peer? The
Cou rant-American stands ready to con
tribute in labor or money an amount
equal to that which writer in another
column proposes to contribute to the
same purpose. The importance of the
action suggested must be apparent to
every reflecting citizen of the county.
Argument to prove it is unnecssary. It
proves itself. The time for the collect
ion and preparation of a complete,
thorough and creditable exhibit is short,
and whatever action is intended should
be tuken at once.
The Georgia Convicts.
The coining session of the Georgia
Legislature promises to be one fraught
with sebsation, particularly concerning
the convict system of the State.
That the system must go there
is very little doubt. The i>eople and the
fair name of our State demand it. The
sjiecial committee raised by the last house
of representatives to investigate the sys
tem and the alleged abuses and ill-treat
ment of the convicts are now gathering
information to present to the body next
month. A meeting of the commitee was
held in Atlanta Monday, and from what
can be learned some startling informa
tion has been given the body.
The charge lias been made that on the
convict farm of ex-Senator Jumw M.
Smith, of Oglethope county, two con
victs had been shot because of their refu
sal to work on Sunday. The lease of the
convicts does not stipulate that they
should l>e worked on the Sabbath day
and the reply of Col. ‘Smith to such a
serious charge is looked forward to with
interest. No doubt the charge will Is*
given a thorough investigation and if it
is substantiated Smith's least* will be
cancelled.
The convict question in this State has
grown to a very serious one, one that will
hear the most philosophic scrutiny of
our ablest legislators. It presents plenty
field for improvement. W e learn that
Dr. Felton who lias heretofore been a
warm enemy to the lease will give the
subject special attention at the coming
cession in July.
There is a strong sentiment over the
Slate that the convicts should be placed
upon the public roads. There they do
not compete against the free and honest
labor of the State and there they are
engaged in a work that commends itself
and which will save thousands of dollars
to our people, and which will give us
better roads. No better disposition
could be made of the convicts than this.
The Piedmont Exposition,
Messrs. Editors: Why do not the
citizens of Bartow avail themselves of
the opportunity afforded by the 1 ied
mont exposition to make such acount\
exhibit as will attract the notice of the
thousands of visitors who will attend the
fair?
i; will gladly give S3O towards
raising a fund of one thousand
to be applied under intelligent direction
to the collection and exhibition of oui
almost illimitable resources. Why are
the agricultural clubs, the land owners,
the mine owners, and every mothers son
of us so indifferent? Let us wake up and
quit blaming Providence, and the free mg
ger; organize and exhaust effort, printers
ink, and the photographers art to so
advertise our grand old eouuty as to
divert into her borders some portions of
the capital which is flowing by our doors,
And by the way it feems to me that this
would be a bigger business for Dr. Felton
to engage in, than his present effort to
deprive the wives and children of oui
jurors of the calico dresses and striped
candy, their husbands and fathers now
buy them with that paltry $2.00 per da3 •
I)r. Felton in effect advertises Bartow
county as a place iu which no sensible or
prudent man should settle. Now let him
exert hid influence to induce all the agri
cultural clubs of the county tq. contri
bute some portion of tlieir time and
money to the collection and exhibition
of the varied products and reasourees of
the county, and when the time comes to
do so 1 will prove by facts and figures,
which Dr. Felton himself cannot deny,
that Bartow county, in proportion to
her wealth and population is as free from
courts, litigation and taxation as any
county in Georgia.
T. Warren Akin.
A Farmer on a Strike.
Editors Courant American—l see
from a late copy of your excellent paper
a notice of the intention of Dr. Felton to
apply to the Legislature for a measure
cutting down the pay of jurors from $2
to $1.23 per day, a most extraordinary
measure coming from one that has lmd
hjs share from the public crib isn't it?
Now Messrs. Editors 1 want to enter my
protest against such a measure. I live
some fifteen miles from the court house
but as luck would have it I am hardly
ever called on to set in the jury box.
Even at $2 per day I’m not hankering
for any such job. Does Doctor think
that two dollars is too much for a man
to be compelled to sit ou the hot and
cold jury bench a whole day and made
to listen to the oratorical efforts of Bar
tow county's supply of lawyers? I can
assure the doctor that the pay is small
even for that, and, too, the salary is not
large enough to admit stopping at any
but the cheapest hotels, where we have
to put up with anything just Tor the sake
of serving our country, the judge and
the lawyers. lam compelled to pay for
my transportation to the court house,
as* we are not allowed mileage as more
favored public servants. Though I am
not a very able juror I’m not exactly a
fool; my services, 1 think are worth
more than $1.23 s a day. 1 can make
that on the railroad where 1 am not
con spelled to sit all day and listen to
long-winded and tiresome speeches either.
The doctor is indeed full of patriotism,
or at least he wants lots of ]>eople to
actually sutler for his patriotism. No
doubt he is sincere in his movement.
He lid not yell ‘‘too much” when he was
getting $lB a day in Washington. He
kept drawing that much until he had
got ten in the neighborhood of $35,000,
and no record is had of his yelling “too
much” us yet. He draws out of Georgia
lour dollars a day when he goes down to
the Legislature and l know he does not
Hj>ei)d it all for his keep, for lie’s mighty
saving. He has not yet yelled “too
much” at this four dollar crib either, and
its my candid opinion that he will treat
it with the continued silence he is wont.
He is working for patriotism for four
dollars a day and wants the juror to put
up with the niggardly amount of a dol
lar and a quarter. He may be a mighty
smart man and all that but I think our
patriotism is worth as much as hiH’n.
1 forgot, too, besides getting four dollars
a day, the doctor comes home on Joe
Brown’s train when he wants to and gets
pay for that too. For the life of me I
caut see what the doctor is driving at.
I am sure he has been well taken care of
by the people who pay taxes as well as he,
part of which has been consumed in pay
ing the doctor's salaries.
With the salary of jurors cut down to
$1.25 a day, coffee 40 cents a pound and
everything whooping upward, even the
salaries of distinguished statesmen, the
lot of our good people will be bad enough
indeed. A Farmer.

DEATH OF REV. J B. HILLHOUSE.
A GlowiMj; Tribute From the Pen of Sena
tor W. R. Kaakiu of Gordon County.
Rev. Joseph Bieuaime Hillhouse died
at his residence near Calhoun last Sun
day afternoon the 12th in at. Jauu*
ary sth, 1820, a descendant of the
French Huguenot and Scotch-Irish set
tlers of S. C.
He was a son of Rev. Joseph Hillhouse
one of the pioneer preachers of upper
South Carolina, himself a man of learn
ing and profound piety, Mr, Hillhouse
in early youth united with the church of
his farthers and soon afterwards com
menced to prepare for the work of the
ministry. He graduated from the Theo
logical Seminary at Columbia, S, C, in
1843 and was licensed to preach the
same year. Much of his life was devoted
to teaching but he never neglected his
pastoral duties, almost always being in
charge of one or more churches. He was
a diligent student and a profound schol
ar, was especialy fond of the classics and
was one of the most learned Hebrew
scholars in the country, for many years
his Hebrew Bible was his daily compan
ion.
0 the 18th of December 1849 he
mayrrjed Miss Esther L- Steele the eldest
daughter of Mr. James Steele late of
Cherokee county, Ga., then a resident of
Anderson, S. C. From this“uniou there
were born three daughters and six sons,
the two eldest preceded him to the other
world, his wife one daughter and six
sons survive. The eldest sou is pastor
of the Presbyterian church at Carters
ville.
Mr. Hillhouse moved from Newberry,
S. C. to Calhoun in 1873, and though a
stranger he soon won the confidence
and love of the people of his new home
amongst whom lie found several pupils
of formers years. For five years he con
ducted the Calhoun Academy to the
entire satisfaction of his patrons and
solid benefit to his pupils. He found
here a few Presbyterian families whom he
organized into a church and to whom he
preached faithfully for thirteen years.
He was rewarded for his labors by seeing
the little flock increase in strength and
members to such an extent that though
now their shepherd has been taken away,
they will be able to carry on the work
which he commenced and which he loved
so well.
He was devoted to the Presbyterian
church ami loved its doctrines and its
polity, but there never lived a man more
generous towards those who differed
from him, and during his long ministry
of forty-two years lie never uttered a
word which eoqld give offense to any one,
and one of his very last discourses was
upon christain uuion. He was truly a
good man and it is safe to say that no
citizen of Calhoun was ever carried to
the grave more sincerely beloved and re
spected than the subject of this sketch.
Asa husband and farther he was kind
and thoughtful, us a citizen he was
courteous, charitable and popular, as a
friend true and faithful, as a Christian
gentle, pious and pure, as a preacher
learned and logical.
As an officer in the church of Christ he
was diligent and faithful. He spoke
little iu public assemblies but was al
ways heard with profound attention. In
1800 he represented his presbytery in the
General Assembly of the Presbyterian
church which met in Rochester N. V.—
the last meetiug of that body before the
division of the church North and South,
the last words of his, heard in presbytery
were in favor of reunion.
Truth, courage, honor, integrity and
purity were his, and long will his kind
words and deeds be fresh in the hearts
of his fellow citizens. A pupil of former
years pays this slight tribute to the mem
ory of a beloved teacher. “He was a
man take him all in all, we shall not
look upon his like again.” W. R. R.
TAKING A MEAN ADVANTAGE.
Dakota Dell.]
A man from Minnesota moved to Da
kota this week and bought a farm a few
miles from Sioux Falls. He was just
getting settled w hen, day before yester
day, a man with a book under his arm
leaned over the fence and said:
“Just bought this land stranger?”
“Yes.”
“Mighty fine farm.”
“Yes, sir, very fine.”
“Must be worth $2,000.”
“More’u that —1 paid $3,000 for it.
Then, there are indications of coal on it
sure. Then the new railroad is going
across one corner and a town is platted
there now. 1 consider my farm worth
$15,000 of any muu's money,”
“Fifteen thousand, hey?”
“Yes, sir, $15,000 at least—l Wouldn't
take a cent less. What are you putting
down in the book?”
“Oh, nothing much. Y'ou see lam the
assessor. Other farms around here ain’t
worth more'n fifteen hundred or two
thousand, but I’ve just put yours down
at the figure you mentioned seein’s you
insist. Good morniu’, sir; glad you've
moved into the neighborhood.”
