Crop report s from every section of the
country continues promising.
Jam. R. Randall., of the Anniston Hot
Blast, thinks Appomattox has been
avenged l>ecanse a half dozen Virginians
have recently invaded the matrimonial
North and carried off rich heiresses for
brides.
(Jen. Early, is on the warpath again,
lie has recently published a caustic re
view of a recent letter from (Jen. Rosser.
Evidently he is much in earnest, as the
following extract will serve to show:
“Having previously figured as a falsifier
of history, he has recently appeared in
the role of a consummate ass, and must
be confessed that he has proved him
self an adept in the character. It seems
t hat a residence of several years in the
northwest and the accumulation of con
siderable property, by means l*est known
to himself, has had the effect ofconvincing
him that the South was all wrong in the
struggle she made for independence and
self-government and that it was fortu
nate 11 at his mighty efforts for four
years in her cause failed of success.”
Six years ago a wealthy citizen of Phil
adelphia died, leaving a sum of money
to be expended in investigating the phe
nomena generally known as Spiritualism.
About three years ago a commission,
composed of scientific men (several of
them connected with universities) was
appointed for this purpose. After nearly
three years of most thorough and search
ing investigation, this commission (of
unquestioned learning and ability) lias
communicated its conclusions in a book
of 150 pages. It is said that the report
announces that all the manifestations
presented for the observation and exam
ination of the commission bear no evi
dences that they were the work of super
natural agencies, and that they were not
different in quality or degree from the
tricks of the average juggler.
The speculating hank officers in Cincin
nati are to l>e held to sharp account.
The Times-Star says: “The directors of
the Fidelity National will not be able to
shirk their responsibility by pleading
(heir ignorance of the crime which their
vice-president and his lieutenants were
perpetrating, any more than the burglar
can escape by insisting that he was igon
rant of any law against burglary. They
are just as liable for their acts of omis
sion as they are for those of commission,
and they will probably be so held in law.
The devilment has been done in an insti
tution which was, or ought to have been,
controlled by men of money; it is more
than likely that they are finacially re
sponsible and will be so held to the ex
tent of the last dollar of their fortunes.
It is a sorry plight for Mr. Briggs Swift
and Mr. Chat-field et al., but they are in
for it, and no way appears for them to
get out except to pay out.”
The New Orleans Picayune thus sum
marizes one of the causes why the people
have been compelled in self-protection to
be a law unto themselves. It says: |
“The lynching of a murderer at Ivosci
usgo, Miss., yesterday, is only a result
of the unfortunate and mistaken senti
meut that seems so generally to beset
the executives of States. It has been
long the policy of those high officials to
station themselves at the foot of the
gallows or at the door of the prison and
there undo all the work of the courts of
justice. This sort of thing has come
almost to be a rule of official conduct
with many governors, some of whom
have gone to the extent of releasing
criminals under indictment before they
could be brought to trial. Asa conse
quence bad men are encouraged to acts
of violence, ami on the other hand good
and law-abiding citizens, despairing ol
securing the punishment of evil-doers
and the vindication of the laws even
after judges and juries have done their
duty, have been impelled to rise up and
with violence which they deprecate coun
teract- criminal clemency. There is no
other way to maintain order but by a
stern and impartial execution of the
laws. When the Governor of a State
habitually expresses his profound con
tempt for the courts of his common
wealth, who can expect the people to
resjkcct the laws?”
The lant number of Science and Edu
cation gives Nome interesting informa
tion concerning industrial training in
the jmblic schools of Germany. The
manual training schools there are in
tended especially for the class of boys
who idle away their time before and
after school on the street. The regular
session closes at about half past 2
o'clock in the afternoon, and after this
time the boys who, either through pov
erty or the indifference of parents, are
not properly and healthfully employed
must attend the industrial school for the
rest of the day. In the summer time the
boys, divided into classes, each under
the supervision of a teacher, are trained
systematically in all branches of garden
ing. At other seasons of the year the
boys are engaged at various light crafts
in work-rooms, such as the making of
baskets, brushes and brooms, and plain
carpentry, where the use of tools is
taught. Tyjie setting and bookbinding
are taught to the advanced and older
classes. Each boy receives a small re
muneration for his work when it is faith
fully and obediently ]erforined. The
money, however, is not directly paid to
him, but it is put into a savings bunk
for him, and from time to time he re
ceives his certificates of deposit. The
girls are taught knitting and all kinds of
sewing in the same systematic manner.
Every lesson is made a class drill. The
children work by dictation, all in the
1-oorn doing the same work at the same
time. Every new mesh or stitch that is
introduced is first illustrated by the
teacher before the class on a rectangular
frame, two feet by eighten inches, which
js high enough for all to see.

The Recent Gamblers’ Flurries and
Their Effect Upon Business.
In an interview with a reporter of the
New York Herald, in referring to the
recent financial flurries in the West,
Comptroller Trenholm says: “The busi
ness of the country is, l should say, in
good condition generally. A safe and
satisfactory business is being done, and
in the main it is conservative. Then*
seems to me to be nothing to cause
apprehension or to anticipate any great
financial disarrangement.” This state
ment is confirmed in the slight effect pro
duced b,v the various speculative flurries
upon the legitimate commercial and in
dustrial interests of the country. The
panic in the New York exchange, last
week, was a serious thing for those who
were caught in it, but they will not leave
so divided an impression upon the com
mercial world generally, as the recent
decline in wheat, and scarcely more than
the coffee flurry of a fortnight ago..
They are gamblers flurries, all of them.
Gamblers in grain, gamblers in eofW
gamblers in stocks, rise and fall much in
the same way. When the busiuess of the
country is on a healthy and substantia*
basis, these flurries of the gamblers affect
. it but little.
j There was no good or legitimate cause
; for the sudden depreciation of stocks in
I New York last week. The present heal
thy condition of business should natur
ally have influenced the opposite effect
jit was no doubt a premeditated move
ment upon tlu part of certain gigantic
speculators to force down stin ks for a
speculative purpose, just as they aw
often forced up to extravagant prices,
with as little reason. These flurries in
stocks are nearly always the work of the
larger operators, who generally succeed
at the expense of the smaller ones. Some
times it happens that the speculative
movements disclose the unsoundness ol
a firm or corporation, as in thecase of the
recent failure of Fidelity bank, of Cincin
nati. But, as a rale, these flurries furnish
little ground for alarm in business cir
cles, and but slight significance can be
attached to them as indicating the gen
eral condition of trade.
As to the condition of the money mar
ket, the Comptroller thinks there is an
ample supply in the country. He says
“ the surrender of bank circulation, conse
quent upon the extinquishment of the
three per cent, loan at the end of the
present month will not be felt because
the treasury will make some very large
payments in July. The return to low
prices of breadstuff's, consequent upon
the failure of the bull speculation, will
cause a resumption of exports and place
this country in a position to draw from
abroad any supplies of gold necessary to
bring the volume of the currency up to
the requirements of the autumn. I can
close as I commenced, by saying that 1
regard the business of the country in
good shape, and with reasonable caution
and prudence we may look ahead and
see good times before us.”
Bartow County and the Piedmont Fair.
Again we would urge upon the citizens
of Bartow county the importance of
making such an exhibit of its resources
at the Piedmont fair, as their greatness
and variety demand. A meeting has
been called to assemble at the court
house on the first Tuesday in July, at
10 o’clock a. m., to discuss the practica
bility and devise means by which this
exhibit can be made. We want to im
press upon our agricultural friends the
fact it is not to be a meeting of the peo
ple of Cartersville alone, but of every
citizen in the county who feels an interest
in the future of our county, and its
material development. Come out, and
come prepared to offer your assistance,
however humble that may be. In agri
cultural and mineral resources, naturally
Bartow county stands incomparably
ahead of any other county in the State.
It may be a long time before we have
another such an opportunity to adver
tise them; so, let us take advantage of
it.
We again insist on every man in the
county, who can do so, coming out to
the meeting called for next Tuesday.
Give Them a Chance!
That is to say, your lungs. Also ull
your breathing machinery. \ cry won
derful machinery it is. Not only the
larger air-passages, but the thousands of
little tubes and cavities leading from
them.
When these are clogged and chocked
with matter which ought not to be there,
your lungs cannot half do their work.
And what they do they cannot do well.
Call it cold, cough, croup, pneumonia’
catarrh, consumption or any of the
family of throat and nose and head and
lung obstructions, all are bad. All
ought to be got rid of. There is just one
sure way to get rid of them. That is to
take Boschee’s German Syrup, which any
druggist will sell you at 75 cents a bot
tle. Even if everything else has failed
you, you may depend upon this for
certain.
Absolute Cube fob Rheumatism.
Dyersbuko, Tenn., Feb. 22,1887,
Gentlemen—ln 1883 I had a severe at
tack of rheumatism. It attacked me
most in my arms and legs. The latter
were drawn up, and when I could walk I
had to go all bent over. Finally, I went
to Hot Springs, Ark., where I remained
several weeks. 1 was benefitted and
thought 1 was well, and came home. On
my arrival home it developed again. 1
then took a course ofS. S. S., using three
dozen bottles. They thoroughly cured
me, and from that day to this I have
been perfectly free from rheumatism.
1 regad S. S. S. as absolute in the cure
of rheumatism, nml a perfect blood
purifier. I think it the best medicine in
the world, and if L can help it I never
expect to use any other. It is a splendid
general medicine, cleansing out the sys
tem, and thus getting at the root of
most diseases. J. D. Carter.

Editors Coi ran t- American : Allow me
space to reply to “ Farmer On a Strike "
which I find in last week’s Courant-
Americax. 1 was notified by Mr. T. War
ren Akin, sometime during last week,
that he would furnish such an article for
publication, sjiecifyingtheidentical points
Which 1 find over the signature of “ Far
mer.” He, however, denies the author
ship of “ Farmer,” and I accept his de
nial, but I conclude that “ Farmer On a
Strike” is pushed to the front by law
yens who are anxious to create and per
petuate as many courts, and as many
cases for courts, as the people of Bartow
county will bear without open revolt.
To successfully hide the long ears and
the “bray of the animal” which is so
familiar in and around our court-house,
they have covered themselves with a
“ farmer’s” skin, and have agreed to pay
the “farmer” for the rent* of hie hide,
by allowing him to sit on the jury more
frequently at two dollars jier day—and
also allow him to eat an occasional din
ner with these illustrious lawyers and
judges, at the expense of the county. If
1 am informed correctly, there art' only
about f>4o names in our jury-box—out of
a voting population of nearly thirty-two
hundred—nearly twenty-five hundred of
whom are white men. This is a very
serious reflection upon the intelligence
and uprightness of our large, white, male
population, especially since there is a
movement among the attorneys to place
men over sixty ( and who are exempt by
State law from such service) in the box,
that these old men may become inter
ested in and advocates of a two dollars
per diem jury compensation. Those
passed-over, unfortunate men, who are
neither intelligent or upright in the opin
ion of the “ powers that be,” are denied
all participation in the two dollars j>er
diem arrangement, but every mother’s
son of tilt m is required to pay his pro
rata of tax-money—out of which these
favored ones are paid—and yet everyone
of them is compelled to serve an much as
fifteen days at work on the public high
ways (or be punished with flue and im
prisonment ) without a cent of pay or
compensation for this hard toil. When
Mr. TANARUS, Warren Akin, in an article over
his own signature, which is unworthy of
him, charges me with a desire to cheat a
juryman’s wife of a calico dress or his
children of a stick of candy, he certainly
forgets that such calico dress or stick of
candy is paid for by the work of at least
two thousand families. They work for
the county and pay taxes to support the
county, and this high pay to jurymen is
virtual robbery of the poor and unfor
tunate women and children whose hus
bands and fathers arc forbidden the
privilege of becoming jurymen even where
life and property are involved. The time
has been when our juries in Bartow
county served without compensation,
and those were days when right and
justice prevailed, when the county was
not overrun with pettifogging shysters,
who make a living by keeping its citizens
in continual litigation. Thero are honor
able exceptions, but it is notorious that
Bartow county is afflicted with a gang of
lawyers whose principal business is to
magnify the importance of the court
house. They impose on us a continual
succession of courts from January to
December, that their pockets may be
filled without work at hard labor. Ex
cept an occasional bridge, which is valu
able to the section in which it is played,
every dollar of our county taxes is ab
sorbed in and around the court-house;
yet there are men who sit under the
shade of the trees to devise ways and
means by which to swallow the remainder
of the substance of tho*e who work in
heat and cold to pay these taxes.
The question is: How long are ourciti
zens willing to submit to the claims of
these men, who are supported by the
county, and of others who band them
selves together, not only to prevent any
relief for our burdens, but to increase
offices and salaries ad infinitum? Must
all oui spare money go that way?
It. can be shown by the tax books,
that our taxable values have steadily
decresed in the last two years; and it is
the taxpayers of means and intelligence,
whose names are in the jury-box, who
have signed a petition to the legislature
to grant them relief by decreasing our
county expenditures. All over the county
there is a clamor for a change, except
within the radius of the court-house.
Thnre, l am compelled to admit, some
are generally ready for a fresh grab, as
well as for a continual drain. Our taxes
last year were ten dollues on the thous
and, nearly seven of which were expended
for county purposes. It has been in the
neighborhood of ten dollars on the thous
and nearly ever since the war; sometimes
more, sometimes less, but always enor
mous and oppressive. Pray, what have
we to show for it? One jail, one court
house, snd a few bridges. We have no
schools to support, which many other
counties of less wealth and less intelli
gence do maintain, thereby attracting
both capital and labor. We have no
macadamized turnpikes, but the last dol
lar that can be wrung out of the farmers
by taxation finds a lodgment and aink
hole about the court-house. We play at
a “ boom ” occasionally, but w only ex
pose our weakness and poverty. Occa
sionally, a greedy lawyer jumps up and
tells 3*)u : “Why, you get your taxes
back when you get two dollars a day for
serving on n jury,” yet they are not just
enough to the eighteen thousand inhabi
tants of Bartow county to tell the truth
that all this number are impoverished to
grant two dollars a day to a favored
few —that a swarm of lawyers may keep
a small standing army around thecourt
house, waiting and watching the “law’s
delay.” There stand sheriffs at five dol
lars per day; ten bailiffs at two dollars a
day; livery stables waiting frequent calls;
all the machinery of the court oiled and
freshened by the sweat of poor men, who
may work on public road* for nothing,
and work in the blazing sunshine and
winter’s frost to raise tax-money that
these lawyers may argue, debate, quarrel
and lengthen out tlio whole affair, for
mutual profit to each other and those
whose per diem is paid by the county,
and yet they cry out: “More taxes.”
Taxes that are extravagant will impov
erish any people, Why not keep that
two do lars in the pockets of the men
that make it, or at least so much of it as
is not needed for the support of jurymen
at the county site? If such jury men make
two dollars per day at their private busi
ness, pray let them keep it, where it was
gained by honest toil; but then the law
yers would he out of a job, and thecourt
house would rest, because of the lack of
money! Ah ! that's the rub!
The flings at my private business are
on a par with this effort to rob the tax
payers of Bartow comity. Great minds
find outlet in the same channels, and
vice versa. In default of an argument,
they accuse me of failing to vote to
reduce my official salary as congressman
and legislator. I will agree for “Far
mer,” or his lawyer Fob T. Warren
Akin, to examine my record in both
v places, and show your readers where I
ever failed to vote for a reduction of sal
aries, my own included, in either body,
whenever opportunity offered. The law
yers in both bodies, of whom there are
nine-tenths in Congress, aud a large
majority in the legislature, made and
fixed the salaries, and uniformly refuse
to reduce cither on account of their own
pockets.
1 am ftgnis charged with continually
riding on “Joe Brown's road” and “get
ting pay from the state for it.” The
burden of proof lies with “Farmer” and
his stimulating lawyer. The facts are,
that the state only pays mileage one
time, going and coming, during the ses
sion, whether the membergoesby rail, on
horseback or on foot, ns the comptrol
ler’s report; will show. Nearly ten years
ago I gave the right of way to the Dade
Coal Mining Company to pass a railroad
through my very best land, for which {
charged thwn nothing, hoping it would
benefit and develop Bartow county. So
long us I remained in Congress I steadily
refused the free ticket which was accept
ed by my neighbors as a return for that
right of way. Until 1885 when my wife,
ns part owner of the Cor RANT, had her
pass transferred to me, which was paid
for by advertising railroad schedules, I
never carried a free pass in in.\ life on any
railroad. During the last two years Gov.
Brown sends me a ticket on accouut of
“right of way” which is engrossed on
the ticket, and which he insisted upon be
cause of the benefit my grant to the rail
road hud conferred upon the W. & A. R.
R. Does not T. Warren Akin, Esq., ride
on a fr**e pass, and has he not uniform
ly ridden thereon, because he was once
upon a time in the pay of the railroad?
If he fails to carry a pass at this writing
is it not because the railroad has “drap
ped’’ him? I have been informed also,
but I do not vouch for the statement,
that he pays a professional tax of ten
dollars and a poll tax of one dollar, neith
er one of which comes into the county
treasury for both go to the state treas
urer for B{*ecial purposes. If this
Is* so ho is like the nmu spoken of by the
scriptures who laid heavy burdens on
other men’s shoulders w hich he did not
touch with his little finger. This critic
of my motives, and who misrepresents
me so grossly—because the argument
was wanting—will please tell us what
countryman outside the law, makes two
dollars j>er day at his business? What
farmer in Bartow county clears more
than #1 25 by his daily toil, and it is the
farmers which bear the burden ol county
taxation, because it is only the man who
produces something useful who adds a
dime to the wealth of a county. W hen
five-sixth of Bartow serve the county with
out nay the remaining sixth can afford
to sit on a jury for a- reasonable per
diem. Under present arrangements jury
service is becoming a monoply, for “Farm
er on a Strike” admits he gets there very
seldom, while it is a fact that some peo
ple get there very ofteu. What bailiff’
would quit his subordinate position and
take “pot luck” on a farm? As sure as
we live this thing is getting stupendous
as to profits on one side and oppression
as to taxes on the other. Old men like
myself, after a service of forty years, are
to be again made serviceable, provided
we are especially useful to our friends,
while scores of good men under age have
told me their names were not in the jury
box at all. The farmers must wake up
to their interests and protect their rights.
They labor incessantly; their families are
perpetually embarrassed by lack of
money, although they make reasonable
crops and practice painful economy.
But there is a class which toils not. neith
er do they spin, who roost within easy
reach of the court house, yet Solomon in
all his glory was not arrayed like one of
these, and the whole race of jackdaws
from creation to the present were never
so fussy and persistent in their interfer
ence with the business of those who live
by the sweat of their brow. Bartow
farmers make wealth but they do not en
ioy it. This is a fact that Mr. Akin's
booming and boasting will not success
fully contradict, together with their
necessary expenditures, and compulsory
taxation for county purposes, the Bar
tow farmer is only permitted to handle
the proceeds of his crop just long enough
to know that his labor for the year has
gone glimmering, while those who live
by their wits flourish like the green bay
tree.
No, Messrs. Editors, I am not pulling
down Bartow county, as charged by Col.
T. W. Akin, but it is the logic of the
facts which stare us in the face every
day, and unless a merciful Providence
opens up an unexpected source of wealth,
we are bound to grow poorer every year
while this state of things continue. A
grand hullaballoo in the press about our
increasing prosperity, not only injures
this section, when the truth is uncovered,
but tends to disgust intelligent men in
side the county who are striving to make
an honest living under difficulties. Har
rassed with pecuniary embarrassments,
hundreds of poor women and children,
unable to buy even a calico dress ora
stick of candy, with an impoverished
home, taxed enormously to keep up the
court-house and its “hangers-on,”just
fancy, if you can, the grand authority—
the dictator—the lofty critic of other
men’s motives, namely Hon. T. W. Akin
seated in his cool, shaded law office —his
fair, white hands daintily crossed in lux
urious leisure —yelling, shouting, demand
ing more money, more juries, more jur
ors, longer terms, more courts, more
judges, more bailiff’s —more of everything
that goes to make litigation expensive
and gratify a lawyer's existence! Hear
him call for eighteen jurors, for the
city court, instead of twelve, which
has answered all purposes in every
other place known to civilization.
This increase of jurymen, to be
paid two dollars per day, is a fresh
“gouge” into the pockets of the tax
payers! We endure just as many terms
of the Superior court as we did before,
both regular and adjourned, so that it
looks as though the county lias been
drafted, and all their substance made
subservient to the requirements of the
courts and the lawyers.
If an old man protests against this un
natural state of things, for the sake of
those who are to come af.er him, Hon.
T. W. Akin is prepared to gibe him, and
adopt the language of Rehoboam, when
the people came protesting and begging
that he might “ease somewhat the yoke
that his father did put upon them,” and
who answered: “My little finger shall be
thicker than my father’s loius. My
father chastised you with whips; I will
chastise you with scorpions.”
Now, Mr. Editor, if the people of this
county resolve to cut down their county
expenditures, I will do my utmost, as a
Representative, to help them. On the
contrary, if they are willing to longer
pay tribute to such masters, and bear
such unnecessary burdens, I, in common
with the other taxpayers, will submit
with reasonable patience. This is no
small fight. The enemy is in line, deter
mined to extort the last dollar to be
reached by taxation.

A LETTER FROM THE QUEEN.
Her Majesty Thanks, the People for Their

London, June 25. —The home secre

from the Queen.
“I am anxious to express to my people
my warm thanks for the kind, more than
kind reception I met with going to and
returning from Westminister Abbey with
ull my children and grandchildren. The
enthusiastic reception I met with then,
as well as on those eventful days in Lon

anxiety of fifty long years, twenty-two
of which were spent in untroubled hap
piness, shared and cheered by my beloved
husband, and while mi equal number
were full of sorrows and trials, borne
without his sheltering arm and his help,
have been appreciated by my people.
This feeling and a sense of duty towards
my dear country and my subjects, who
are so inseparately bound up with my
life, will encourage me iu my task, often
a very difficult and arduous one, during
the remainder of my life. The wonderful
order preserved on this occasion and the
good behavior of the enormous multitude
assembled, merit my highest admiration.
That God may protect and abundantly
bless my country is my fervent prayer.”
The Atlanta Constitution, in a lengthy
sketch of Judge 0. A. Lochrane, of Geor
gia, who died a week ago, says:
It was while occupying the position of
Judge in the Macon Circuit that the war
came on, and with it came some thrilling
experiences for the Judge. The war was
waged for the independence of the .States.
When, therefore, Jefferson Davis sought
to conscript soldiers without the consent
of the States, Gov. Joseph E. Brown
stood in his way, and it fell to the lot ol
J udge Lochrane to render some of the
most important decisions adverse to
Jefferson Davis, and sustaining Governor
Brown, In consequence of this bitter
feeling was aroused against the J udge.
As illustrating this spirit, the J udge went
to hold Twiggs Superior Court. The
lawyers there determined that he should
not try their cases. The lawyers on the
opposite sides of the first case called an
nounced that they had taken the case to
the Supreme Court, and would not need
his services. Without noticing the evi
dent insult which the attorneys intended
to convey, the .Judge quietly Ordered
that the cast* be dismissed for want of
prosecution. This determined stand
brought the lawyers to their senses, and
they ever after treated him with the
greatest respect. Judge Lochrane stood
in the crowd which greeted Jefferson
Davis as he was brought into Macon a
prisoner, and did distinguished service iu
saving the Confederate from insults by
the exasperated Union soldiery.
The Rockmart Slate published an ac
count of the skeleton of an oldtime giant,
exhumed last week by workmen at tin*
lime quarry of Crow & Robinson, near
Rockmart. It is a monster skeleton of a
man measuring t-wo mid a half feet across
the chest, seven and a half feet in length,
hands eighteen inches long and arms,
legs, etc., proportionally long and large.
Teeth found near the skeleton, and sup
posed to belong to it, measure one and a
half inches in length. This skeleton was
found in a medium sized cave, the mouth
of which was covered with earth eight or
ten feet deep occasioned, it is presumed,
by a land slide.

Very many mothers cannot properly

For all such cases there is a remedy In

Hundreds of physicians testify to its great

Dear Sir —I have used your Diarrhoea

special case came under my observation

with a single bottle cured six members
of his family who were suffering from
Diarrlnea and Dysentery. 1 could men
tion numerous other cases. Please send
me another dozen at once as 1 am entirely
out and have six or seven bottles already
engaged. It is truly a wonderful remedy.
