COURANT- AMERICAN. r-utUsiind IZ'TOxy T3a.*vxx*is.a.jr. CA RTKRSVILLIS, OEORGIA, Official Organ of Barlow County. THURSDAY, JUNE 30, 1887. —- 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. Peculiar Id the combination, proportion, and of its ingredients, Hood’s BarsapurUla accomplishes cures where .it her preparations entirely fail. Pecu liar in its good name at home, which iH a ‘ tower of strength abroad,” peculiar in the phenomenal sales it lias attained, Hood's Sarsaparilla is the most sucoes ful medicine for purifying the blood giv ing strength, and creating* an appetn j t t 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. Treatise on Blood and Skin Diseases mailed free. The Swift Specific Cos., Drawer 3, Atlanta, Ga. Greatly Excited. Not a few of the citizens of Cartersville are greatly excited over the astonishing facts, that several of their friends who had been pronounced by their physicians as incurable and beyond all hope—suffer ing with that dreadful monster Consump ion—have been completely cured by Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption the only remedy that does positively cure all throat and lung diseases,Coughs, Colds, Asthma and Bronchitis.

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. June27th, 1887. Wm. H. Felton. Are you weak and weary, overworked and tired?

London, June 25. —The home secre tary has received the following letter 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 don as well as at Windsor, on the oc casion of the jubilee, touched me most deeply, It has shown that the labor and 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.
