Official Or&an of Barlow County.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 8 ( 1887.
Thk rod headed women and white horses
craze, iushls to be checked by a ring from
the “chestnut bell,” or frightened by the
approach of “rats.”
Justice Samuel Hall, of the Supreme
Court, died at his summer home, at
Mount Airy, on the 28th nit. He was a
learned and able jurist, and made one of
the finest justices Georgia ever had.
At Exeter, England, a theatre caught
lire a few nights since, during the per
formance of “Romany Rye,” and one
hundred and thirty people were tram
pled to death and burned alive. Many
were fatally injured.
The Brady guano bill was defeated in
the senate last Friday by a vote of 19 to
17. So the farmer who insists upon the
suicidal policy of buying guano and rais
ing all cotton, must continue to pay for
the same, profit or no profit.
Mr. Joseph M. Brown had a masterly
article in Monday’s Constitution, in which
lie argues most plausibly that Gen. Jos
eph E. Johnston, could have successfully
defended Atlanta, had he not been re
moved by President Davis. Many who
have made a close study of this great
campaign agree fully with Mr. Brown.
East, year the glass works about Pitts
burg were idle about half the time on ac
count of a strike. The glass blowers
have just demanded an advance in wages
and another long struggle is expected.
It is said the men at their present wages
earn from $1,500 to SB,OOO each, annu
ally, being the best paid workmen in the
country.
The managers of the State fair set
apart October 26th, for the reunion of
all the Surviving Ex-Confederate Veter
ans. Ex-President Jefferson Davis, has
accepted an invitation to be present on
that occasion, which will of itself, no
doubt attract many thousands to the
Central city. This will be the great day
of the fair. _____________
The prompt and courageous manner in
which Gov. Gordon deals with the con
vict question, whenever occasion de
inadns, is a source of much gratification
to every true Georgian. He is deter
mined that this foul blot upon the State’s
fair name, and outrage against her hu
manity, shall be removed as early as pos
sible.
The other day Patrick Shannon walk
ed to the desk of the city editor of the
St. Louis Republican, and insisted upon
giving his name and residence and a
brief sketch of his life. He said that he
was going away and was not coming
back again. He kept his word, for he
walked directly to a convenient place,
jumped into the river and was drowned.
Mr. Russell, representative from Clark
county, has introduced into the house a
bill which provides for theestablishmeut,
in connection with the State University,
and forming one of the departments
thereof, an Industrial Institute and Col
lege for the education of the white girls
of this State in the arts and sciences.
We have no objection to the establish
ment of such a school, but see no neces
sity of connecting it with the university.
We regret to see brother IV aternmn,
of the Thomaston Times, opposing the
association recmtly organized by
the weekly press of Georgia. Ihe
Colonel surely does not fully under
stand the purposes for which the associ
ation was organized, or else he would
not do otherwise than endorse it. We
want him to come to Atlanta at the spe
cial meeting in October, and become a
member. He will learn then that the
work of the association can not be ac
complished by one convention, but must
have a permanent organization to carry
it out and ]>erfect it.
We see no occasion for enmity and
strife between the Piedmont Exposition
and the State Fair. Both can, and
should be made great agencies through
which Georgia’s industries and wonder
ful resources may be advertised and de
veloped. Every state exhibit, at the Ex
position, that can be, should le carried
to the State fair after the exposition is
over; and every exhibit to be at the fair
that can be conveniently moved to the
exposition, should go there. In other
words, southern and middle Georgia
should be fully represented at the Expo
sition, and the northern portion of the
Slate should go to the fair with an olive
branch in one hand and a full exhibit in
the other.
Senator Ingalls thus mourns over
mugwump Massachusetts: “Between the
contagious virus of Democracy and the
senile gangrene of civil service reform,
the political degradation of Massachu
setts is nearly complete. That she
should be classed among the ‘doubtful
states’ is humiliating to those who recall
the ancient glories of her history and the
renown of her heroes, in the many battles
she has w aged for justice and liberty. 1
hope that the day of her redemption is
drawing nigh, and that the republicans
of Essex will be found in their tradition
ol place at the head of the column in the
advance guard, on the skirmish line in
the approaching contest with the organ
ized ignorance, hypocrisy, crime and dis
loyalty which captured the government
in 1884, and by a combination between
the political highway robbers of the
South and the sneak thieves of the
North, hopes to rejieat the larceny in
1888./
The New York Journal of Commerce
is responsible for these excellent views
about monuments. It says: “Place on
one side of the canvas a mausoleum as
elegant at art can design and on the
other a puolic parkin which thousands
may find a j>eri>etual delight, and ask of
any sensible man which he would prefer
to leave after him as a monument to his
memory. A museum of art, a fountain
of learning, a home for waifs and found
ings, a place where poor boys find girls
may acquire a useful trade, an asylum
for any of earths unfortunates stranded
on the voyage of life, or any one of a
hundred kindred charities endowed for
his sake and inscribed to the memory of
one (la* world delights to honor, would
be afar nobler tribute than t lie most
massive structure in bronze or granite
bearing his name and deeds and only
serving to point with uplifted finger to a
useful or heroic life.”
The New York World looks with much
apprehension upon the Henry George
movement. It says: “Five yedrs ago
Mr. Clevelands majority for governor
was 192,000. Three years ago his plu
rality for president was 1,047. Two
years ago Gov. Hill was elected by a plu
rality of 11,000. Last year Judge Peek
ham was elected, with the help of the la
bor vote in this city, by a plurality of
7,818. The closeness of the result in
these recent years shows that it is only
by the diversion of the prohibition vote,
which rose last year to 36,000, that the
Democrats have carried New York. It
shows, further, that the republican hoj>e
of regaining the state is based upon off
setting by the labor vote its loss to pro
hibition. The plain moral of these facts
and figures is that something must be
done to check the disaffection among the
voters who have acted heretofore with
the democratic party and to disarm the
labor movement. The party leaders
cannot do this by devoting their ener
gies to mere machine management and
their thoughts to the offices. They must
bring ideas to the front. They must face
the new issues. They must, offer practi
cal remedies for the undoubted wrongs
and inequalities for which Henry George
preseuts his delusive panacea.”
At the last meeting of the American
Bar Association, at Saratoga, a bill was
formulated to improve the laws relating
to debtors and creditors in different
states, which provides “that in case of
the bankruptcy, insolvency, failure or
suspension of payment of any debtor,
creditors holding any claim or demand
against such debtor, which has arisen in
the course of transactions pertaining to
commerce among the states, shall be en
titled to share in the proceeds of the es
tate and to receive payment to the same
extent in all respects as the most favor
ed creditor who resides in the same state
as that of which the debtor is an inhabi
tant any mortgage, pledge, judgment or
other security or proceeding to the con
trary notwithstanding, except securities
and transactions for actual money or its
equivalent advanced by third persons in
good faith upon property set apart and
pledged for its repayment. This provis
ion, as will be seen, would put all credit
ors on the same level and will do away
with the undue advantage which, under
the present diversity of legislation, the
local creditors have over others. It
would also do away with a great mass
of vexatious and difficult litigation such
as usually follow where creditors from
other states have claims upon the debt
or’s assets.”
The State Fair.
Hon. W. H. Northern, president of the
State Agricultural Society, and Superin
tendent Nesbit, of the State Fair, are un
tiring in their efforts to make the fair the
best in the history of the State. The
people generally should co-operate with
and make the exhibit this year a mirror
of Georgia’s resources, industries and
progress. It is a State institution, and
strangers visiting the fair will judge the
resources of the State, largely, by what
they find there. For this reason, if none
other, every county in the State is inter
ested in having a good exhibit. We trust
that Bartow county will not be behind
other counties in this matter. It has
been suggested that her exhibits at the
Piedmont Exposition, be carried from
there to Macon, thus giving us the bene
fit of both fairs. This we think a most
capital idea, and should be considered by
the committee on exhibits. It can be
done with but little extra excuse. The
freight on all agricultural displays will
cost nothing, and on other things a nom
inal sum. The good resulting from such
a course will more than compensate for
the trouble,
MEMORIAL OF JOHN F. HARDIN.
Read t the Last Reunion of tlie 18th
Georgia Regiment in Acworth.
Captain John F. Hardin was born in
Floyd county, (la., October 9th, 1842.
His parents were Colonel William and
Miss Nancy Hardin. He was educated
at Cassville, Ga., and at the University
of Mississippi at Jackson, and when but
nineteen years of age he was elected
Second Lieutenant of a Volunteer Com
pany known as the “Davis Guards”
which at Camp McDonald near Big-
Shanty was company “H” of the First
Regiment Infantly in Gen. Phillips’
Fourth Georgia Brigade. Here he was
mustered into C. S. service on the 11th
of June 1861. The Regiment on arriv
ing at Richmond was changed to the
18th Georgia, and his company was
made company “F.” He was a very
positive and inflexible young man and
had hosts of friends. He was a good
officer and soldier and was always pres
ent or accounted for when wanted. At
the second battle of Manassas he was
wounded in the foot and unable to walk,
and when Cq| Wofford saw him lying on
the field he said “Lietenant are you
wounded,” he replied “yes they have
shot me, but I've got their flag,” at the
same time exhibiting the colors of the
famous Zouave regiment, which he
brought home and were afterwards pre
sented to the State through Governor
Brown, the Legislature being in session
passed a flattering resolution of thanks
to the 18th Georgia Regiment, but the
name of the captors of this flag were
erroneously reported or misspelled, and
his name does not appear in the resolu
tion. John was prompted to First Lieu
tenant in 1862 and to captain of his
company in 1863. He went with his
command to the close of the war, when
he returned to his home in Bartow coun
ty, and engaged in farming. On Sepfem
tember 3d he was united in matrimony
with Miss Mary Roper. He was a suc
cessful farmer to the time of his death.
He never had any public office, as a
matter of choice, preferring the peace
and quiet of his beloved family to the
wrangling of the. hustings. He was
well beloved by his neighbors and all
who knew him. He died peacefully
at the residence of his brother. Hon.
Mark A. Hardin, in Atlanta on Wednes
day, August 3d, 1887, and was laid to
rest in the old family burial ground near
Kingston. He was present at only one
of our reunions, but he was so enthused
that on his return home he ordered from
New York a handsome confederate gray
suit that he intended wearing when occa
sion required he should appear in full
dress, and then to be buried in it. His
wish was carried out and he sleeps with
the gray enclosing his manly form.
He left a devoted wife and five affec
tionate children, Lneile, William. John,
Gussie and Mark, who were all the world
to him.
Chat from Washington.
Spvial Correspondence.]
Wallace K. Stansell, of Cartersville, ar
rived in Washington on the first of Sep
tember to accept a position in the Bu
reau of Statistics, Treasury Department.
He has been assigned to duty and is fall
ing into his work very naturally and
rapidly. Mr. Stansell will enter the law
school in October, and when he returns
to the South it will be as a lawyer.
In the artistic show window oi Bell's
photograph gallery on Pennsylvania
avenue, in this city, may be seen a very
large and handsome photograph of Gen.
P. M. B. Young, of Georgia. It is prom
inently displayed among a group of pic
tures of the most distinguished men of
this country, and it is safe to say that
there is not a finer looking man in the
group. Hundreds of people stop at that
window every day and I venture the as
sertion that Gen. Young has received
more compliments than any of them.
“O, isn’t he handsome!” is an expression
that may be heard at any hour of the
day by the passers on the avenue.
The invitation presented to President
Cleveland by Mr. Grady, requesting him
to attend the Piedmont fair, is said to
be the handsomest and. most unique
thing of the kind ever gotten up. It rep
resents Georgia wood, Georgia marble,
Georgia silver, Georgia gold and Georgia
diamonds. The design is altogether
new, and has been greatly admired by
those who have seen it.
It is gratifying to all Georgians to
know that Mr. Cleveland is really coming
to our grand and goodly State. He has
already heard much of the Empire State
the south and doubtless thinks well of
her, but it is safe to say that he has no
conception of the sights and sounds that
are in store for him on his intended visit.
Georgia is going to do herself proud on
this occasion, ami the President is going
to be vastly astonished at the immensity
of things.
And Mrs. Cleveland is also coming. I’m
glad of this. She looks like a southern
woman. She smiles like one, and shakes
hands like one. At some of her public
receptions here she has stood up and
shaken hands for almost three solid
hours. And such a charminglmnd-shak
er! There's magic in her touch, and the
Georgia people are goii.g to be wild over
her. There is no New England whang to
her voice and no English stiffness in her
bearing. She is going to be pleasant,
and friendly and natural. I may as well
tell you home folks that she is the lovli
est woman I have ever seen outside of
Georgia.
Whenever two Georgia boys meet in
Washington now about the first ques
tion asked is “Are you going to the Pied'
mont Fair?” and the question is usually
answered in the affirmative. Perhaps
the young Georgians in Washington may
get up a company to march in the young
men’s torchlight procession, and parade
in Atlanta. And l may say that those
who intend to come from Washington
are by no means confined to Georgia. It
seems like everybody wants to come. In
deed the people from Massachusetts to
Charleston are going to pour into Atlan
ta to that fair. The prediction of the
Constitution will be verified, that the
man who stands on the platform with
President Cleveland in Atlanta, will look
into the faces of more people than ever
assembled at one time on Georgia soil
before.
I am wondering if the great and varied
resources of Bartow are going to be rep
resented there. Ido most hope
so. Such an opportunity to advertise
the county will not be offered again in a
life-time. Think of the iron and ochree,
and manganese and timber and fruit and
corn that you could show! Surely you
are not going to lose the opportunity.
The good Courant-Ame rican should
ring the changes on this as long as there
is a day left. W. J. N.
Tlie Members of the Weekly Press of
Georgia, Meet In Milledgeville, and
Organize the “Georgia Weekly
Press Association.”
The members of the weekly press in
Georgia, met in Milledgeville on the
30th ult., for the purpose of perfecting
an organization, that would tend to
wards protecting and advancing their
business interests.
There were in attendance, editors and
printers of weekly newspapers from near
ly every portion of the State. The con
vention assembled in the chapel of the
M. G. A. & M. College, formerly the rep
resentatives hall, Georgia’s historic Cap
itol, at 11 o’clock Thursday morning.
Col. Jos. E. Pottle was then presented
to the convention, and delivered an elo
quent address of welcome, which was re
sponded to by Col. S. G. Jordan, of the
Middle Georgia Progress.
Col. R. L. Hunter was made temporary
chairman. Prayer was offered by Capt.
C. P. Crawford, after which the delegates
enrolled their names. Upon motion, the
chair appointed committees on perma
nent organization, and constitution and
by-laws, which were requested to report
at the afternoon session, whereupon the
convention took a recess until 3 o’clock.
At the afternoon session the reports of
the committees were received and
adopted.
The committee on constitution and
by-laws reported that the organization
would be known as the Georgia Weekly
Press association, ayd that its object
was tin* advancement of the material in
terest and the extension of the social re
lations between the editors, publishers
and proprietors of the weekly newspa
pers of Georgia, who shall consist of a
president, first and second vice-presi
dents, a corresponding secretary, record
ing secretary and assistant treasurer,
and an executive committee of five, the
president and corresponding secretary
being members of that committee. The
officers serve one year, and the treasurer
is required to give a five hundred dollar
bond.
The imitation fee was fixed at thitt
dollars and the annual dues at one
dollar.
The committee on permanent organi
zation reported for president M. 1). Ir
vin. of the Conyers Solid South; vice
president, J. N. Moore, of the Millcdge
vdle Union and Recorder; and S. G. Jor
don, of the Sandersville Progress; re
cording secretary, Douglas Wikle. of the
Cartersville Courant-American ; as
sistant record iug secretary, Ben F. Per
ry, of the Canton Advance; correspond
ing secretary, S. W. Roberts, of the
Sparta Ishmaelite; treasurer, Thos. A.
Morris, of the Milledgeville Chronicle;
Executive committee—M. I). Irvin, S. W.
Roberts, J. N. Moore, J. H. Stone and
S. F. McGinty.
The newly elected officers assumed
their respective duties, and the conven
tion proceeded to business.
A resolution was adopted making the
newspaper, and not the editor or prin
ter, a member of the association.
The following motion was adopted :
Whereas, it is not customary for char
ter members of an organizatioh to pay
an iniation iee.
Be it Resolved, therefore, that any week
ly newspaper published in Georgia, which
shall pay to the treasurer of the associa
tion the sum of one dollar at or by the sj>e
cial meeting, to assemble in Atlanta in
October, shall be recognized as a charter
member, of such no iniation fee shall be
required.
A letter was read from the Savannah
and Tybee Railway Company, inviting
the members of the association to take
an excursion over their line, which was
received with thanks.
After discussing various motions, the
convention adjourned to meet next
morning, when considerable business of
importance was transacted. Among the
important resolutions adopted, were the
following:
Resolved, That this convention is in
session solely for business purposes,
therefore political questions should not
be discussed in said convention.
Resolved, That the Weekly Press of
Georgia, as nearly as possible, confine
its circulation, in future, to subscribers
who pay cash in advance.
Resolved, That we instruct the Execu
tive committee to prepare a minimum
scale of prices, governing all advertise
ments from without the limits of the
county, in which the respective newspa
bers of this association are published,
said scale of prices to be based upon
circulation. The committee to have the
power to make a distinction betwen ad
vertisements emanating from outside
the State of Georgia, and those emenat
ing from within its limits.
The resolution further provide, that
all paperS belonging to the association
must be governed by these prices, so
fixed, or be considered unworthy of
membership. The committee to report
at the special meeting in October.
A resolution was unanimously passed
endorsing the bill of Representative
Hawkins, of Newton, regelating the
rates for large advertising, and request
ing each member to use his influence in
having the same become a law.
The following resolution was adopted:
Whereas, President Grover Cleveland
and wife, Governor Lee of Virginia, Gov
ernor Perry of Florida, Governor Bob
Taylor, of Tennessee, Governor Richard
son of South Carolina, and the members
of President Cleveland’s cabinet have
signified their intention to visit Atlanta
during the Piedmont exposition begin
ning there October 10, and
Whereas, It is the desire of the mem
bers of the convention to meet the presi
dent and Mrs. Cleveland and others that
come with them; therefore it is
Resolved, That this convention, com
posed of the weekly press of Georgia,
respectfully ask that the managers of
the Piedmont exposition arrange for us
to meet the presidential party in a body,
at such time and place on the 18th of
October next, as will best suit them.
After many motions, and resolutions
of minor importance, the convention, by
rising vote, unanimously adopted reso
lutions thanking the cititens of, Milledge
ville for their hospitality, the various
railroads for courtesies, aud Gen. D. H.
Hill, president of the M. G. A. & M. Col
lege, for his kindness in permitting the
use of the chapel, for the meetings of the
convention, a motion to adjourn until
the 18th of October, in the parlor of the
Markham house, at Atlanta, prevailed.
The members in attendance upon the
convention, were met at the train by
a special committee of citizens, who
took charge of and assigned them to
the respective homes, where they were to
be entertained during their stay in Mil
ledgeville. It was the pleasure of the
Courant-Ame rican representative to be
placed at the Oconee* House, one of the
neatest and best kept hotels in Georgia,
under management of Mr. S. B. Marshall,
an elegant, courteous, and accomodating
gentlemen. The splendid and hospita
ble people of this refined and cultured
old town, through wide open their doors
and extended to the editors the warmest
welcome. Nothing was spared that
would add to the pleasure or comfort of
their quest.
Tuesday night an elegant banquet
was tendered the association. The ban
buet hall was most artistically dec
orated, and the long tables were ladened
with the most delicate viands and fruits,
and made beautiful and fragrant by the
choicest of flowers and exotics. The

old city, was all there viewing with each
other to make the occasion a happy
epoch in the lives of their guests. It
was a royal feast, given by a noble and
hospitable people. The toast and respons
es of the evening were all fine and much
enjoyed. The eommittte from the legisla
ture, then investigating the asylum,
were present and added much to the
pleasure of the occasion. At a late hour
the “banquet hall was deserted,” and
the Georgia editor left with a mind
crowded with the pleasantest of memo
ries of the people and the event.
Wednesday afternoon the members of
the convention were driven to the luna
tic asylum. Uy the courtesy of the gen
tlemanly officials in charge, they were
shown through the institution. It was
a source of gratification to all to note
the most excellect manner in which the
affairs of Georgia great sanitarium were
conducted. It could not be placed un
der better or more competent manage
ment, than that of Dr. Powell and his
skilled corps of assistants. No unpreju
diced man can visit the asylum and find
one ground of complaint. Out of the
inmates there, not one is heard to
find fault with the treatment
received. All are as happy and con
tented as their unfortunateeondition will
permit them to be. The legislative com
mittee which had just concluded its w,ork
of investigating the charges made by
I)r. Kenan, failed, we understand, to find
any ground whatever for the same, but
on the coutrary, found everything in a
most admirable condition.
A number of the editorial party re
mained during the evening, and were
most delightfully entertained by the au
thorities of the asylum.
Altogether, the first annual meeting of
the Weekly Press Association, of Georgia,
was a most pleasant one and could not
have been held in a more hospitable or
fitting place, than at the city of Milledge
ville, in the representative hall of the
old capitol building, around which clus
ters so many hallowed memories of the
past. The city of Milledgeville of to-day
is no longer the dead and deserted capi
tal of a great commonwealth, with noth
ing to commend her but a mellowed his
tory, but she is anew Milledgeville, alive
and progressive, fully abreast with the
times, and a prosperous and growing city
embellished by the glories of other days.
She is spreading her commerce and wid
ening territory. Her business men are
wide awake and enterprising, and mean
to place her where she rightfully be
longs, in the ranks of substantial grow
ing cities. Her pet enterprise, just now,
is the M. G. A. A M. College, one of the
best institutions of learning in the state,
and which is, perhaps, accomplishing
more real good among the masses, than
any other school in the county. It only
needs the fostering care of the State to
extend Still broader its field of usefulness.
The trustees of the college are asking
the legislature to appropriate the small
sum of $5,000 to make some much need
ed improvements, and if they fail to re
spond, they will not only be doing the
people of Middle Georgia a great injus
ti e, but wronging one of the most valu
able institutions of learning in \he coun
try. We trust that it will not be per
mitted to suffer for the lack of funds.

Hard on the Counsel.
Harper's Magazine for September.]
The following experience of a Mississip
pi lawyer was related by himself to the
writer, many years ago. He said:
“1 was defending a prisoner for horse
stealing, and, seeing no other means of
defending him, under the circumstances,
I set up the plea of insanity. I argued
it at length, read many extracts from
works on medical jurisprudence, and had
the patieut attention of the court. The
prosecuting attorney did not attempt to
reply to my argument, or controvert my
authorities; I seemed to have things
my own way, and whispered to the pris
oner that he needn't be uneasy. Then
came the Judge's charge, in which he
reminded the jury that there was no
dispute between counsel as to the facts
of the case. Indeed, there could not
have been, for several witnesses had
sworn positively that they saw my client
steel the horse. ‘But,’ concluded the
court, ‘the plea of insanity has been set
up, and I charge you, gentleman of the
jury, that it should receive your very
grave and serious deliberation; but 1
must be allowed to say, gentlemen, that
for myself, upon a review of the whole
case, I can discover no evidence of in
sanity on the part of the prisoner, ex
cept, perhaps, in the selection of his
counsel.”
