Anew and very fresh law of Alabama
requires that all railroad men shall have
good eyes, which are to be examined
every five years. The new law is getting
a full quota of abuse from the railroad
ers that are so unfortunate as to come
under its jurisdiction, while some of the
most reliable railroad men in the state
are losing thei** j.dts. The East and
West ruil'OctU will probably lose two of
their men by its exactions. The law
seems to be foolish enough, and assures
us of the fact that all the bad legislators
do not live in Georgia.

REPEAL OF THE ORDINANCE REL
ATIVE TO THE COWS.
Proceeding* of (lie City council in Regu
lar Monthly Session
The regular monthly meeting of the
city council was held in council chambers
Tuesday afternoon, with Mayor Wikle in
the chair, and a full board being present.
Messrs. Aubrey & McEwen, coal deal
ers, presented a petition to the body, to
the effect that they have the privilege of
weighing coal on the city scales from Au
gust until the first of April next for the
sum of *ls. The jietition was granted.
Mr. Ben. R. Mountcastle wanted the
assessment on his house and lot scaled;
claimed that the figure was too high.
Asa meeting of the body lias already
been held for the hearing of such com
plaints, due notice of which was given
by publication, the jietition was re
fused.
Chairman A. Collins, of the street com
mittee, repoated satisfactory progress in
the improvement of Erwin street, leading
to the cemetery.
On motion a fence was ordered
erected on the line between the Ea t Car
tersvilie institute and the premises of
Mr. S. L. Vandivere.
The city marshal, J. D. Wilkerson, re

past month:
Dray license * 3 00
Fines Id 50
Show license 5 00
Impounding dogs 1 00
Impounding cows 1 75

Street tax is 00
*53 75
The resignation of Mr. Miles A. Collins
as trustee of East Cartersvilie institute
was read and accepted. Kev. W. 11.
Cooper was selected to till the vacancy.
JOHN HILBURN H PET MEASURE.
For several weeks Hilburn, from the
Second ward, has been endeavoring to
get through the council an ordinance, to
theeffect that all beeves sold in this mar
ket shall be insjiected before sale, and an
inspection tin* charged. He made no
progress until the present meeting, when
an ordinance to tlmt effect was drafted
and presented by Alderman Griffin. The
measure went through without a mur
mur of opposition. The ordinance will
be found in full in another column of this
paper.
The question of appointing an inspec
tor next came up, when Hilburn pro
posed that a citizen of the town be se
lected, and not any of the present offi
cers he mads to fill the position. Judge
Collins hoped that the duties of the new
office be put on some of “our numerous
city officers.” “The town is already offi
cered to death,” exclaimed the judge with
a flight of oratory that would have par
alyzed Julius Caesar, “and 1 hope to see
the time when the people of Cartersvilie
will not be taxed to keep up so many of
ficers, and that the number of aldermen
be reduced from eight to four. I’m in fa
vor of giving the duties of the insiiector
to one of our already numerous city offi
cers.”
Thereupon the mayor graciously ten
dered the job to the doughty judge,
which was peremptorily refused. Fpon
motion an outsider was agreed upon,
and Mr. Martin Collins was selected to
fill the position of inspector of all beef
offered in this market for sale.
The sons of Mr. S. F. Milam were
granted leave to use the unused stairway
under the opera house as a fruit stand
free of charge, provided, on the motion
of Alderman Gilreath, “they do not al
low cigarette smoking on the premises,”
“Travis,” is the name of an old dog be
longing to Win. Puckett, and is said to
be a valuable canine. “Travis,” on ac
count of his usefulness in tracking crim
inals in their flight, his efficiency in that
respect lieing fully established when lie
led the pursuers after a jailbird a few
months ago, he was allowed a collar free
of charge, and now he may be termed an
officer of the town. When the mo
tion was carried, extending “Travis”
the freedom of the city free of charge,
Alderman Crawford moved that the tax
collected on dogs be refunded and the
dog ordinance be declared repealed. This
motion was irredeemably lost.
William White, light in name but dark
in color, wanted the tax refunded on his
dog, a collar for which he paid the city
for. Williaih said that some one had
shot his dog. and thought the town
should reft ml the tax money. The ald
ermen thought, too, and acted accord
ingly.
MULEY WILL MOSEY AS USUAL.
The average reader will by the time
this portion of the council proceedings
is reached come to the conclusion that
the meeting was devoid of interest and
importance. Theold saw that proclaims
“a calm before a storm,” holds good in
regard io the present meeting of the
council. The business of the body had
proceeded thus far without any apparent
energy or spirit, but when Alderman
George Gilreath startled Cartersville’s al
dermanic board with the proposal to
change the time of putting up the cows
from August 1 to the 15th of October,
this brought the honorable body to its
feet, and for a while intense interest was
manifested in the proceedings. Aider
man Hilburn, who is professedly against
letting the cows run loose, amended Gil
reath *8 motion by making the time the
Ist of October. This brought Judge
Collins to his feet again, when he had
another glorious chance to orate. In
moving to repeal the cow ordinance al
together, he used some caustic language
as to the stability of a certain member
of the council. He was tired of the agi
tation of this subject; thought that the
matter was settled long ago, and the
purposes of the law were to be carried
out. But if this matter was to be con
tinually kept before the people and every
body hurrussed to death by it, he was
heartily in favor of repealing the ordin
ance, and made a motion to that effect.
This motion received a vehement and
positive second from Alderman J. C.
Wofford. The language of Mr. Collins
was spirited, and threw out some allu
sions of a not very complimentary odor,
which John Hilburn appropriated wholly
to himself. Hilburn got the floor, and
was making a speech of much warmth,
interspersed pretty lively with some in
sinuations as to the motives of Judge j
Collins. Hilburn tired away, and was i
ruled out of order occasionally by the J
mayor. He accused the judge of not
toting fair, and said the motive of the
judge was to postpone the measure to
gain more votes for it later on. Hilburn
was apparently very warm and sulphur
ous air was beginning to prevail, when
the mayor had to call him to ordor, and
then he put the question of repeal to a
vote. Those voting for its repeal were:
Messrs. A. Collins, J. A. Crawford, J. C.
Wofford, G. H.Gilreath and A. J. Collins.
Against the repeal: Gerald Grittin, A. C.
: Williams and John Hilburn.
| It will be seen that “old muley” has her
I friends, who will see to it that she will
have her liberties undisturbed. She will
continue to mosey around in the streets,
passing her time away in fooling her
friends with the idea that she will con
vert into sweet lacteal fluid the tin cans,
dog fennell and sparrow grass that grow
luxuriantly upon the thoroughfares and
boulevards of the town of Cartersville.
To say that the friends of “old muley"
are happy, would be but half expressing
it. It is said that when it was generally
known that the ordinance was repealed,
a large gob of satisfaction was heard
from every cow in the town, and they
kept up their congratulatory lowing dur
ing the entire night.
After passing upon and auditing ac
counts, the council adjourned.
BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT.
Clrauil Jury Presentments for Third Week
July Term. 1887.
We, the grand Jury selected and sworn
for the full term of Bartow Superior
court, 1887. make the following present
ments :
Finding the grand jury of the first
week had examined tlie public records,
and being satisfied with their report, we
made no examination of the records of
the ordinary, clerk of the court, sheriff
or treasurer.
The books of the county commission
ers are Ijefore us. We find no entries
on the record for the year 1887, since
January 4th. We call the attention of
the board to this as a grievous over
sight.
We examined the dockets of the jus
tices of the jieace of districts Nos. 857,
036, 822, 81 'J and tire* X. I*, of district
No. 822.
Several justices of the peace and nota
ries public have failed to bring their
dockets before this or the former grand
jury, to wit: J. P. district No. 828 and
X. Ps.' district 819,903, 1041, 930, 828,
850, 952.
Our county school commissioner came
before us, and made a verbal report of
the condition of the schools of the coun
ty. This not being the term ot the court
at which he is required to submit his
books for examination, we accepted a
verbal report, lie reports the schools
generally in good condition. From his
reports, however, we would suggest that
greater cure lie observed in the selection
of teachers, especially among the colored
people, as many of their teachers are not
able to reach a grade above the fourth,
and do not take that interest in the sub
ji*ct of education which should charac
ize those to whom is entrusted the train
ing of the young. Many of these teach
ers never avail themselves of the advan
tages offered them for their improve
ment in the art of teaching, although
such improvement would cost thorn noth
ing but the time and trouble of attend
ing the monthly meetings of teachers.
He has on his list 98 teachers, at an an
nual cost of between five and six thou
sand do”urs. We take pleasure in en
dorsing our county school commissioner
as an efficient and faithful officer, who
should lie aided and encouraged by the
patrons of the schools in his efforts to
advance the educational interests of the
county. We find there has been some
frauds practiced by false returns of teach
ers. The parties have been indicted for
false swearing.
We have, to the best of our ability,
through reports from different sections
of the county, examined into the condi
tion of the roads and regret to report
them in generally very bad condition.
The road between the bridges over
Pettit's creek is in very bad condition,
and in times of high water is a very dan
gerous place. We recommend this place
be so fixed as the best judgment of the
commissioners may suggest, so as to
make it passable in the winter and safe
in times of high water.
The road between Hardin's bridge and
Cossville is in great need of work. Trees
have been lying across this road since
last April, on the same road are two
gates, which are reported as nuisances
to the traveling public.
That portion of the road leading from
Cartersvilie to Canton, lying in Stamp
Creek district, is in shamefully bad con
dition, not haying been worked since the
fall of 1880.
The road leading from Cartersvilie to
Cassville, between the residence of Z. W.
Jackson and that of Minus Rogers, has
on each side of it a large gully, without
sufficient room for wagons to pass each
other. These gullies render the road un
safe, and are becoming more and more
dangerous. Some parts of the Alabama
road, one near Raccoon creek church,
and between the church and Stilesboro,
and one near the residence of Arthur
Davis; on the sides of this road are dan
gerous gullies, in some places from 8 to
12 feet deep; and at Raccoon creek is a
very bad place—a large mudhole.
The road leading from Cassville to Ce
dar creek, which has been reported in un
safe condition to a former grand jury,
and ordered to be repaired, is still in as
bad, and even in worse condition, than
when its unsafe condition was reported
to the grand jury of January term of
1880.
The place known as Jolley’s pond, in
the 17th district, has lieen reported to a
number of grand juries as being a dan
gerous place. The grand jury of the
January term of 1880 called special at
tention of the commissioners to this
place, and insisted that the commission
ers liave the roadbed raised, and thus
made safe and passable. M e learn from
parties living in the neighborhood that
nothing has been done to improve this
road.
Road leading from Cassville to Canton,
and road leading from Cartersvilie, to
Wolfpen are in bad condition; in many
places these roads are not of sufficient
width. The roads in Allatoona district
are reported in very bad condition —
what few roads have beeu worked in this
district have been run over in such a
careless manner as to lie of very little
benefit to the roads. The road from the
iron bridge to Paulding line, known as
Douthitt’s mountain road, is in bad
condition.
We would regret the necessity of pre
senting the commissioners of roads for
not having the roads kept in good order,
and trust that this gentle hint may be
sufficient to render it unnecessary for a
future grand jury to do so.
We, by committee, visited the jail, and
found the veranda of jail in bad condition,
caused by a leak in the roof. There are
several leaks in the roof over the cells,
and some bad leaks over the cook room.
The grates in the windows are too open,
the spaces between the bars being suffi
ciently large to enable parties, so dfs
posed, to hand tools of considerable size
through to to the inmates of the jail.
This could be easily remedied by putting
in a closer grate on the inside and sever
al inches from the other grates. We no
tice some of the blinds belonging to the
jail building lying in the house with the
hinges broken. We recommend these re
pairs and alterations be made at once.
We further notice the floor in the sher
iffs office in the court house is sunken in
one corner.
We concur with the former grand jury
in reference to the improper use of the
j court house yard. We do not concur
' with the former grand jury in their
recommendation in reference to changing
: the number of grand juries from two to
! one for each term.
We call attention to the great incon
venience and loss of time occasioned
by the almost constant noise of heavy
trains of cars passing and rcpassing
along the railroad tracks and switches
during the sessions of court. The aggre
gate cost of one year in the loss of time
amounts to no inconsiderable sum, and
the aggregate for a few years would lie
sufficient to pay the cost of anew court
house and grounds in a suitable location.
The court house is, in our judgment, un
fitted for the uses for which it was de
signed. by reason of its location along
side the railroad tracks. We therefore
recommend that the court house and
grounds be sold at the best price and on
the best terms obtainable, and that the
proceeds arising therefrom be appro
priated to the erection of anew court
house in a suitable locality. We suggest
that this important matter has been too
long delayed, and that as early and
prompt action lie taken as possible.
We recommend that the county com
missioners pay A. M. Franklin, sheriff,
*8.35. amount paid out by him for rail
road fare, etc., for witnesses out of the
county.
Also that the amount of *3.05 be paid
to H. It. Towers, constable, paid out for
expenses in bringing Richard Robinson,
charged with the offense of burglary.
We thank the court and the officers of
the same for the courtesies shown our
body.
We recommend these presentments be
published in the county paper at the
usual rates.

A Trick of III* Rome Cotton Iluyers that
Our Farmers Should Remember.
Under the caption of “It is not Right,”
the Rome Bulletin i litis exposes a gigan
tic trick to fleece the farmers that sell
their cotton in that market:
“If the cotton buyers persist in tin*
programme that we understand they
liave inaugurated, the city of Rome will
be injured no small amount.
“We learn that they are forming for
the purpose of forcing the farmers to sell
their cotton at a warehouse scale; that
the warehouses have combined together
not to bid against each other; that after
the farmer lias put his cotton in the
warehouse he will be forced to take the
bid offered by that house. We also learn
that they have, or are about to agree,
that they will not buy cotton from any
farmer unless he brings it to the ware
house of some buyer. This is all wrong,
and cannot but tend to injure our mar
ket. There is no use arguing the point
at all, but if they persist in this there
will be men brought into Rome to buy
cotton and they will buy it on the streets.
“Another thing, the legislature passed
a law that no more than 10 cents should
be allowed for weighing cotton. The
evasion of this is a fraud, and those that
indulge in it know that it is wrong.
Therein not a jot of Christianity con-'
neeted with it.”
The Bulletin is right, and now if it will
just forge ahead and expose the many
other schemes that are resorted to by
which to bring cotton into that market,
it will do a good work, one that will be
commeneded by all good people. Under
the belief that they are securing good
prices for cotton, the farmers do not
take any consideration of the many and
exhorbitant fees that are paid on every
bale that is sold in the Rome market.
We are glad the Bulletin has exposed
this new scheme to rob the poor farmer.
Goodness knows the farmers of this coun
try are burdened sufficiently.
To those of our Bartow county far
mers who are in the habit of selling their
cotton in Rome, we would especially call
their attention to the above significant
warning.
Kindly Remembered.
Jlvery day we are more and more con
vinced that the life of the country news
paper man is not one of continual trouble,
anxiety and unpaid bills. Occasionally
a small rift of sunshine floats into the
dismal gloom of the sanctum in the
shape of a fifty pound watermelon, a
basket of peaches, and “sich like.” This
office has fared well the past week, in
fact its condition is somewhere at the
head of the column. Henry Tumlin has
paralyzed us'with a monster melon. The
paralyzing was kept up by Capt. Newt
Dobbs and Jim Waldrip.
ltro. Collins, from the poor farm, do
nated a basket of fine “boss" apples to a
suffering crowd of printers. Last but
not least, our clever friend Mr. Jas. C.
Herring, of Grassdale, pranced in with a
basket of as luscious grapes as were ever
ourgood fortune to demolish. They were
delicious, anil besides the never failing
memory of their reception we believe the
taste of them will be more lasting than
life itself.
Yes, we are doing well this summer, in
fact, the printers are growing fat and
saucy. It has only been eight hours
since they demolished a fine melon from
a friend, and already they threaeu to
inaugurate a strike if another is not
forthcoming very soon. The bridging
over to 'possum time by this paper seems
to be an assurety,
Later —Just before going to press Mr.
John Stover sent in a very fine and lus
cious melon, for which he has our thanks.

We have been informed that an item
appeared in the Oedartown Advertiser of
last week which read about like the para
graph below. As the subscribers of that
paper are no few and far between, it was
impossible to get hold of a copy so us to
give the paragraph in its exact words:
“The Cartersville Courant-Amerlcau has cut
us from its exchange list, for spite we presume.
As we are still exchanging with the Atlanta Con
stitution, St. Louis Republican, and others we
can make out without the “A Melican.”
The simple fact that an oversight on
tin* part of our mailing clerk should
call forth such a lot of silly stuff' shows
conclusively that the visits of our paper
is of considerable importance in the Ad
vertiser office and fully dissipates the
assertion that that paper can get along
without us.
We admit that we cannot do without
the Advertiser. We have occasional spells
of insomnia, for which the editorial col
umns of that paper proves an infallible
remedy. So send it along Bro. Freeman,
for we have discharged that negligent
mailing clerk, and, besides, we have not
the least spite against your well known
and infallible remedy lor insomnia.

If the little darling is spending such

Court Proceedings,
The fourth and lust week of the July
term of the Bartow superior court con
vened last Monday, Judge .T. C. Fain
presiding. There being no grand jury
drawn for this week, the traverse jurors
were sworn in, and but little time was
consumed in getting the court in work
ing shape.
The first case called for hearing was
that of Mrs. C, M. Fields et al. vs. C. C.
WillirighaTa, principal; Thos. 11. Baker,
J. 0. Wofford, et al., security, complain
ant. This case had been specially set,
and it is one of more than usual import
ance, not so much on account of the
amount involved, but the many and
complicated questions raised by the de
fendants in the case, going to show that
they are not liable on the note sued
upon. There has perhaps been no case
tried this term, in which every inch of
ground was so stoutly and ably contest
ed, as in this one. It is the second time
the case has been tried, the first trial
being in November, 1585, but upon mo
tion of plaintiff's counsel anew trial
was granted. The hearing of the case
lasted until Wednesday morning.
The case of the state vs. W. M. Gra
ham, charged with shooting at another
man, was next called.
NOTES.
Judge Fain will probably hold a four
weeks’ rdjourned term in November.
Court will adjourn Saturday.
The recoftimendation of last week's
grand jury, as to rhe building of anew
court house, is favorably received by the
people. The necessity ior a change of a
location is recognized on all hands.
Economy demands it.
The West End Institute will open its
fall session Aug. 29th. Mrs. J. W. Har
ris, sr., Miss Sofge and Prof. Mobley in
charge.
Re-Union of tle 23tl Georgia Regiment.
The 23d Georgia Regiment will hold
its re-union this year at Adairsville, on
the 31st inst. The public generally are
invited to come out and join the surviv
ors of this gallant regiment, in this their
annual assembling. Everybody is re
quested to bring well tilled baskets.
