COURANT-AMERICAN. X-’\a.tl.s-3n.05. Evary T'ls.-u.isslaiy. CARTEKSVILLE, GEORGIA. WIKI.E A WK.LINGHAM. 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.

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. Shiloh’s Catarrh Remedy—a positive cure for Catarrh, Diphtheria and Cankei Mouth. Sold by M. F. Word.

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.” Why will you cough when Shiloh’s Cure will give immediate relief.
