COURANT- AMERICAN. I’vt'fcli.eli.od. 33-very Tlxxa.iea.a.y. CAUTKRSVILLK, GEORGIA. 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. Attention, Until G. Regiment.

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.” Crying Babies are made Good Naturcd, Healthy, Hoarty, by the use of IP Fooi..^ Rabies do not cry if they fire satisfied, and they cannot lie satisfied if they are not prop erly nourished In- tbCir food, or if it produ ces irritation of stomach or bow els.
