It is probable that the Hon. Patrick Walsh, of Augusta, will be present at the speaking Saturday. Should he come, there will be an effort to have him make a few remarks.

Our hotel keepers are complaining of the innumerable number of boarding houses that spring into existence at the commencement of every court. They say that these cut the rates to such an extent that they cannot successfully compete -with them. The excuses of a hotel are heavy and continuous the year round, and when it looks a* if some profits are to Is* derivided, eompetition springs up and destroys all hope. The many friends and acquaintances of Mr. and Mrs. Henry Crowley will lie sorry to learn of the death of their two year old son, which occurred at the resi dence of Mr. V. L.

He attention of his hearers to the necessity of being more charitable and visiting among the sick and distressed, considerable amount of which, he stated, existed right here in Cartersville. He o[s*ned the eyes of all and set many to work. The sermon was a good one, and its beneficial results can already be seen. Every town in this section is offering many attractions to those wishing to s(eml the summer. Cartersville, we are pained to ms*, has done nothing in the matter of soliciting or entertaining such. A good company should be organized and put the famous Rowland Springs in order for next season. The already es tablished reputation of these springs made years ago would bring hundreds of summer visitors to our town and prove a bonanza to the right kind of parties. The committees on fair exhibits held mi interesting meeting Saturday and Mr. Tom Lumpkin was appointed to ap ply for space and select the same. The committee received an invitation to at tend a picnic given by the Pettit's creek club, to Is* held on the first Saturday in August. The invitation was accepted. The club transacted some important business and adjourned over until next Saturday at 10 a. m., when it is expect ed to have good delegations from every district in the county. Rev. Sam P. Jones preached a sermon at the Lakeside (O.) campmeeting Sun day. Full reports are being given his sermons wherever he preaches. The Cleveland leader has this to say of o.ir distinguished evangelist: “lb* is plain and unostentatious. Nature has done more for him than nurture. But few dis like him, and if any usually those who are hit. He does not rely upon excite ment, but coolly and slowly utters the words of truth and soberness, and in such a tone of voice that all are at once brought into sympathy with him.” George W. Pendley, a young white man, well known in tfiis community as a young man of former dissolute habits, died Monday morning and was buried Tuesday. The deceased recently attended a protracted meeting, was impressed, and decided to lead a better life. His was a sudden but decided change for the better. A helping hand was extended him and all were pleased with his change. He worked hard and bid fair to make a useful citizen. He becume sick from over work from which he never recovered. His pastor remained by his side and admin istered to his wants to the very last, lie often expressed his willingness to go at the call of the Great Redeemer and did not fear the inevitable in the least, stating to his ]ms tor repeatedly that all was well with him.

Two hours and a half was spent it exploring a wilderness of as fine corn as ever grew, which was so tall that the matter of gathering the cereal is get ting to be a serious question. If the bal ance of the corn in Bartow county is as fine as it is on Pumpkinvine the bread for tin* next threeor four years is assured. After looking over the fine crops, Steve Dowis, who is cultivating Jim Field’s place, massacred several fine melons for the crowd to which ample justice was given.

Most i’romiuent llis tiller of rhi* Section, Charged with a Grave Crime. Xe.vton J. Wheeler, an old and promi nent citizen of C:i *rokee county a gov ernment distiller of twenty-odd years, is just now wrestling in the toils of a very severe charge, which, if proven, will cut short his business as a distiller. Mr. Whi-eier live just over the line in Cherokee county, about twelve miles from here, and this place is lifts shipping point. He is well known in this county as well as in this whole section, and, aside from the business lie was engaged in, bore an excellent character for honesty and integrity. Considerable sympathy has all along been extended him on account of the innumerable times he has been burned out, the fires lieing of incendiary origin. His settlement, on account of these fires, had suffered no little in the eyes of the outside world. The Colu.vnt-Amekica.v, a week or so ago, printed an account cf the burning of the warehouse connected w ith Wheel er’s distillery, and stated that the fire was the w ork of an incendiary. This con flagrutiou is just now causing Mr. Wheel er considerable trouble, and which will, no doubt, cost him considerable money; besides, it places him in bad oldor with people who have heretofore sympathized with him ia his troubles and been his friends. The story, as told as by the gen tlemen of the revenue department, is about as follows: About the first of July Mr. Wheeler told Collector Crenshaw, who was then at Canton, that the government ware house connected with his distillery had been burned, and that the origin of the fire was unknown, but that it was sup posed to have been set on fire by some incendiary. As the distillery was under suspension, the warehouse was locked, the key being ia the possession of the government storekeeper and gauger. There was in the warehouse, according to the records at the collector’s office in Atlanta, twen ty-two packages of corn liquor, contain ing 891 gallons. All this was reported by Mr. Wheeler as ha ving been destroyed by the tire. For several reasons Collector Crenshaw thought it might be well to look into the causes of the fire. He thought Mr. Whee ler seemed very indifferent concerning the fire, and at once ordered Deputy Col lector McAfee to investigate and report his conclusions. Mr. McAfee proceeded immediately to the scene of the fire and under date of the 7th inst., reported that from all lie could learn the fire was the work of an incendiary or started from some cause unknown. In the course of the examination he took a number of affidavits, one being that of Mr. Wheeler to the effect that the liquor mentioned above was in the warehouse at the time it was burned. Mr. McAfee was led to believe that this was true by discovering ia the ruins a sufficient number of iron hoops to represent the twenty-two pack ages. But Collector Crenshaw wasn’t satis fied. For some reason or other he sus pected that the liquor had been moved for flic purpose of evading the $882,90 tax due the government. He said noth ing, but went ahead quietly with an in vestigation. In a few days he thought his suspicions sufficiently well founded to warrant a search being made, and ac cordingly ordered Deputy Collectors Moses, Ware and Fite to make a search of the vicinity of the distillery and see what they could find. Armed with search warrants, the offi cers went direct to the smoke house, on Mr. Wheeler's premises. Mr. Wheeler at first refused them entrance, saying that lie did not have the keys. The officers did not stand on ceremony, but forcing an entrance were amply rewarded for their trouble. Two barrels of the liquor which it was supposed had been burned were found. The barrels were known by their marks, bearing, as they did, the stamps and marks of two of the barrels which were said to have been burned. Wheeler was completely unmanned by the discovery. The officers found the place near the distillery where the liquor had been concealed after it had been taken from the warehouse and before it had been removed to the smokehouse. A charge of removing and concealing has been entered against Mr. Wheeler—a crime punishable by fine and imprison ment. The burning of the building will doubtless be looked into by the state au thorities. Collector Crenshaw will pro ceed at once to collect $882,90 due for tax upon the liquor and as Mr. Wheeler is a wealthy man, will have no trouble in collecting it. The officers had evidently been well posted about Wheeler’s place, for the liquor captured, had been put in the smokehouse on last Wednesday night and on Thursday they found it. Had they delayed their search a day, they say it would doubtless have been dis posed of. Deputy Collector Fite and Deputy Mar shal Scott, proceeded with a warrant Tuesday to arrest Wheeler, but he could not be found. They learned that ho was iu the neighborhood and intended giving himself up. His distiller, Thompson, was arrested, brought to town, and placed under bond. Marion Wheeler, a son of Newton, was also arrested and placed under a SSOO bond for aiding in the removal of the whisky. While the officers were up in that neighborhood Tuesday they found that the still had been removed, a seizure of which had been ordered by Collector Crenshaw. It could not be found and may cause Whee ler additional trouble. Yesterday morning Wheeler came in on his own volition and gave himself up. A temporary bond of $2,000 was required of him, which he easily gave. The accused no doubt realizes the pre dicament helms put himself into. Friends that have heretofore sympathized with him in all his troubles, have turned a cold shoqlder, under this great and damning charge. A man of his wealth and influence, they think, has little to do when he attempts to defraud his govern ment, east his community under a heavy gloom of suspicion, for the sake of mak ing a few dollars. It is sincerely hoped that the numerous little doggeries along the line of Cherokee will cease to exist as the supply depot has been removed. They certainly have created much trou ble and could be easily spared. Court Proofed ings. The third week of Bartow Superior court convened last wet k, Judge -T. C. Fain presiding, Piompllv ut 10 oYloek the court was called to order, and Clerk Durham called the list of grand ami traverse jurors summoned for this week. After the juries were organized, and tie* grand jury charged, the court immedi ately entered upon the trial of eases. The first casecalled was that of the State | vs. George W. Chafin, charged with lar- I oeny after trust: verdict not guilty. This I case consumed the remainder of the day. Tuesday the court was occupied in the teial of the case of Nancy Hamilton vs. Edwiu M. Price, bill in equity. This was a lengthy case, involving some impor tant legal points. Its trial lasted until Wednesday morning, and resulted in a verdict for the plaintiff'. The case of Jane A. Schulte vs. Mary E. Wofford and M. L. Johnson was next called, but passed until adjourn term. The following criminal cases were dis posed of: The State vs. Rich Robertson, charged with larceny from the house; verdict guilty; sentenced to six years in the penitentiary. The State vs. Dee Wofford, charged with involuntary man slaughter; verdict guilty; sentenced to pay a fine of one hundred dollars and all cost, or, in default thereof, to be confined at hard labor on the public works in the chaiugang for thespaeeof twelvemonths. The State vs. Monroe Matthews; rape; verdict guilty, with a recommendation to the mercy of the court; sentenced to twenty years at hard labor in the ]>oui tentiarv. In the ease of Thos. H. Baker vs. Kins ley Stegall, a verdict was rendered for the plaintiff for the sum of $121.75 and all cost. McGhees & Cos. vs. Win. ('. Smith, deft in fi. fa., and Charlie Smith, clniTit; jury returned a verdict finding the property subject; Jonas Thomas vs. Lucy Thomas, libel for divorce; verdict granting total divorce ; J. 11. Humphries vs. E. B. Holcombe, complaint; verdict for the plaintiff'for $88.50, besides inter est and cost of suit; Noah Biddy vs. Shinall & Corbin, complaint; on motion of plaintiff's counsel, this case was dis missed at plaintiffs cost. There are a few criminal eases yet un tried, which will probably be disposed of before the adjournment of court. NOTES. Col. J. M. Pace, of the Covington bar, is attending court this week. Judge Underwood and Cdl. Rowell, of Rome, were in the court room yesterday. Win. Stephens, the newly made barris ter, fired his maiden effort before a jury last week, in the case of the State vs. Pee Wofford, the negro boy charged with involuntary manslaughter. It has been decidedly more pleasant in the court room for the past few days. The cooling breezes have been delight fully refreshing. It is suggested, that a rule be taken against the bachelor attorneys at this bar, requiring them to show cause,at the November adjourned term of court, why they have not sought and won the hand of some fair paragon of beauty, and brought her to the enjoyment of ambi tious anticipations, and the expectation of comforts t hat may come, when they have plucked the golden fruit that hangs from the topmost round of the profes sional ladder. Joe Moon, Esq., has been retained as leading counsel for the bach elors. He feels confident of filing a com plete answer to the rule, and one that will draw around these single individuals the mantle of public sympathy. Ilis clients will trust him implicitly. Coca-Cola.

A meeting of the Georgia railroad di rectors was held iu Atlanta Monday. The meeting was a private one, the pro ceedings vaguely rumored, was to the effect that the interest of the Georgia road in the Rome road should be sold. The Constitution says of the meeting: The Georgia road owns about $150,- 000 of the $200,000 worth of stock of the Rome railroad running from King ston, on the Western and Atlantic rail road to the city of Rome. This road has never paid anything. It runs through a bad section, is a short local line, and in winter is frequently two and three feet under water. It is said that recently the Rome and Decatur railroad, now in process of construction, has made an offer to the Georgia road for its inter est in the Rome road. The Georgia road, it is believed, would like to sell, and the only thing that prevents is that the offer of the Rome and Decatur com pany does not include the stock of cer tain Rome gentlemen who have always been identified with the management of the Georgia road. Yesterday the direc tors of the Georgia road made a propo sition to the Rome and Decatur people that will probably be accepted. It is not known what price was decided upon as fair and just for the stock. Other busi ness was transaettd by the board, as it is known that General E. P. Alexander and Major John W. Green went before it, but nothing could be learned regarding it. About three o'clock the board ad journed to meet next September in Au gusta. Much simulation is being indulged in by oar people as to what course the Rome and Decatur folks will pursue in ease they purchase the Rome road. Some seem to think that the road will be extended to Gainesville from King ston, while others think that it will be built to this place, and then extend ed to Gainesville. As it is only a rail road rumor, the outcome of which no one knows, all are willing to wait and see. The Atlanta Constitution will sell you Waterberry Watcli for $2,50. So will Terxeu & Baker. Come on, Gentlemen, when you want Shoes, try us and we will give you some that are solid, and no mistake, and at prices that you can stand. J. G. M. Montgomery.

Fit VN'K J. TAYLOR I)IKS UXI)Kit SAD CUK’imsTANCKS. .lust before going- to press last week tin 1 Courant-Amekicax received the sad intelligence of the death of Col. Frank J. Taylor, a young man well known here and well liked by all. The following, taken front the Cincinnati Titnes-Star, is about the extent of particulars that can be gathered: “At the I’alace Hotel, at 3 a. m. to-day, Col. Frank .1. Taylor, of Georgia, but formerly residing for a time in this city and well known in newspaper circles here, died from general debility and the effects of the extreme heat. “Col. Taylor was aged about thirty five, and his was a remarkably brilliant intellect, giving promise, notwithstand ing the dulling effects of a proneuess to a weakness of a certain kind, of a life of usefulness and of success above the aver age. He was an expert short-hand rm porter, and as such was employed for some time on the Commercial Gazette, lie was also endowed with literary tal ent of a high order, and was at one time a frequent and prized contributor to a number of leading magazines of the country. lie was perhaps lietter known in St. Louis than here, us in that city he was for several years connected with the press. “When Sam Jones was holding meet ings in this city last February a year ago Col. Taylor tiecame a frequent at tendant on the same. Finally he went to Sam Jones, acknowledged to him his proneness to give away to the blandish ments of drink, and appealed to the great evangelist for help to withstand liis too great temptations, Jones gave him just the practical kind of advice he needed ami which Sam is so noted for dispensing. “Taylor called upon tho evangelist re peatedly, and showed by his conduct that he was determined to break forever with his evil habit. Finally seeing the noble effort the man was making, Jones determined to assist him by keeping him more continually in his company. He therefore offered Taylor a position as his private secretary. Taylor eargerlv ac cepted this chance of continuing with his most valued adviser and friend. “This position he held for about six months, and then through the assis tance of .Tones he became part owner and editor of the Cartersville (Ga.) Cou rant. Some months afterwards he re ceived, through the influence of his stanch benefactor, the appointment of stenog rapher to one of the Circuit Courts, of Georgia, at a large salary. This posi tion he held at the time of his death. The time for his annual vacation of sev eral weeks came around a con pit) of weeks ago, and he took a jaunt to his old haunts in this city. He arrived here and registered at the Palace last Friday. “To some persons with whom he t alk ed lie said he was going to the Lakeside camp-meeting to meet his friend Jones, who is due there now. While in this city his old habits, which he mastered with the exception of rare intervals for many months past, renewed their sway over him to a certain extent. This, combined with the extreme heat, reduced him to a state of helplessness and he had been confined to his bed for a day or two past. During his indisposition he received the kindest nursing by the Palace Hotel people, and Dr. Hawley attended him regularly. lie was thought to be im proving yesterday, but the great heat of iast night caused a relapse, and at about 3 o’clock this morning he quietly passed away. “Mr. Marcellas Maxwell, who so ac tively assisted in the meetings of Sam Jones and Sam Small, it will be remem bered, was also a constant attendant on Taylor's bedside during his illness. Taylor was single, and the only relatives he is known to have are two married sisters, residing in Richmond, Va.” His remains were shipped immediately to Richmond. Va., near where he was born and reared. Reunion 18tli Georgia. The survivors of this old regiment will hold their sixth annual reunion at Ac worth on Friday, August 26th.

In another column will be found a no tice of intention of applying to the legis lature now is in session for an act to amend the charter of the town so as to draw in the lines of the city limits. The limits of the city now extend a mile out and it is proposed to draw them in a quarter of a mile, or possibly half-a-mile. The result aimed at by our city authori ties is to do away with an immense amount of street work. The streets in the heart of the town are left to suffer so that the streets on the extreme ends can be worked. The largest proportion of the tax is paid in the business portion of the town and the authorities think they should receive better streets. The owners of lands in the city limits are thus relieved of considerable city tax also and they no doubt will be pleased with the change. Several miles of streets will be thrown out by the new scheme. Coca-Cola is the most popular cooling dring At Wikle’s Soda Fountain. f fli GREAT CLEARING SALE AT SCHEUER’S!

Also all your breathing machinery. Very 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 dogged 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. Greatly Excited.

Hanson, of Macon, Ims kind ly consented to address the citizens of Cartersville and Bartow county on the tariff. He will speak at the court house next Saturday, 30th inst., at 3 o'clock. E very body invited. Maj. Hanson is master of the subject he will discuss, and a forcible, eloquent and entertaining speaker. Hit argu ments upon the tariff are made from a purely business standpoint, and what he may say can be accepted by our people as the views of a man who has studied the question from a practical point, and who is able to talk intelligently upon it in its multiplicity of phases. There is no economical question of such paramount importance to the people of this country as that of the tariff, and none so little understood by the masses. It deserves the thought and study of the people, lie cause the day is coining when it will lie made squarely an issue in the selection of candidates for office, especially that of congressmen. The voter must have some knowledge of this great subject be fore he can act safely, or give an intelli gent expression to his views. It there fore behooves him to get light upon either side, whenever and wherever he can, from a reliable and trustworthy source. Maj. Ilanson has, by special invitation, addressed large audiences at several points, both in Alabama and Georgia, and the press has invariably spoken of them in the highest terms. He comes to Cartersville at the request of a unrulier of our most prominent citizens. We trust that all who can will make it con venient to come out and hear him.
