CARTERSVILLE-TALLADEGA.
operating ou a small scale. Sixty ovens
burn the output into the very l>e*t coke,
for which a home market is had. Major
West, at Cedartown, has been getting his
coke at Dayton, Tenn.,but the other day
lie telegraphed the Eureka company that
lie would take all it could produce. The
capacity of the mines will be at once in
creased sufficient for *all demands. Coal
abouuds in exhaustless quantities for
miles around. The earth is full of it; it
is everywhere. What a glorious opportu
nities for the invest meat of capital! With
every essential tor heavy manufacturing,
fine railroad facilities, that whole section
is soon to be alive with industries.
At Ragland the party was shown over
the St. Clair Coal Company's plant. This
is where Mr. Will Laramore, well known
in this community, is located. By the
wav, we forgot to state that Mr. E. was
one of the party to Talladega, The St.
Clair company has one of the most |>er
fect plants in the country, though it is
small and in its infancy. The three hun
dred and fifty tons of coal that is pro
duced from its mines every day does not
touch human fingers after leaving^the
miner’s hands, so well arranged is“he
machinery and washing apparatus.
These perfections are the result of the un
tiring energy of Mr. Laramore. When
he went into the mines he went with little
experience, has worked in and out of sea
son under the most discouraging oireum
slances, until now lie sees a happy and
successful culmination of his efforts. Mr.
1)e Leon, the president of the company,
spoke highly of Mr. Laramore and said
he deserved unbounded praise for his en
ergy and patience. Now the mines cau
not half fill its orders. A thousand tons
of coke can easily be sold from this mine
if it had the facilities. The company will
soon put in more machinery and increase
their facilities to meet all demands.
REMARKS.
In the foregoing running sketch of our
trip we have failed to give all the re
sources that lie alongside and under the
East and West road. There is the lime
works at Davitt’s, the charcoal kilns at
Winberly, the hundred and one sawmills,
whose humming saws greet the ear of the
passenger, the ore beds that are being
worked in sight of the roads all summed
up together makes a grand country
through w hich a great little road runs.
The impetus given to our development
will be lively and permanent. Our gray
ores, so much desired by Birmingham,
and which they have not and must have,
w ill find a ready market with good rail
road facilities. The lumber markets of
Chattanooga and the North and East are
accessible to all points along the E. & W.
and T. t C. V. roads. Already many cars
have passed through Cartersville from
points along the lines of these roads for
Chattanooga, and most of this shipping
will Is 1 doneover these lines. The rolling
stock is just now inadequate, but more
engines and cars are e.\}eeted to be put
on in a few weeks. The road will have
about as much as it can do from now on.
Luckily, the bed and trestles are in excel
lent condition, thanks to the able man
agement of (’apt. I'ostell. When he took
charge a few months ago, the road-bed
was in a wretched condition, but now
shows that attention has l>een and is be
ing given it. The Captain believes in
keeping up such a valuable property as
well as declaring dividends.
A VARIEGATED TRAIN.
At a point below Cross I'lains the party
was treated to a rare sight. Side tracked
at a station was a train of cars loaded
with nearly every product that is found
on the road. This train consisted of one
car of pig iron, one of coke, one of coal,
one of slate, one of sand-stone and sev
eral with lumber and cotton, all pro
duced along the line of the road. What
a record! Everything essential to build
ing up one of the grandest sections in
this country at our very doors. Nature
did her best when she passed her
cornucopia around this quarter. W e
•have everything to make us great and
prosperous.
The East and West railroad has indeed
a bright future before it. Passing
through one of the most resourceful un
developed sections, its ties laid where
none others can go, with a road-bed
second to none, it has indeed a bright
fut are before it. To the section through
which it traverses the East and West
will prove a Godsend. It will do more
for the development of our section than all
other agencies combined. The ore beds
and mineral interests generally of Bar
tow county are to be benefited. Carters
ville is to be benefited as well as every
foot of ground that lays on its entire
length. Our minerals will now find their
natural market at Birmingham. Better
rates for Cartersville are now in sight.
Under the excellent management of
Capt. Posted the road is bound to enjoy
prosperity. It is he under whom the
road enjoyed its greatest success. It is
the joy of his life, his pet, his hobby.
His body and soul are wrapped up in his
pet enterprise, and the country through
which its ties are laid. The policy of the
new company is a good one. Recognizing
the fact that the growth ot the country
enhances the value of its road, the com
pany has encouraged all manner of de
velopment, purchasing a fine diamond
drill for the purpose of locating the min
erals along the line. Land and mine
owners work hand in hand in great har
mngny with the railroad authorities, the
outcome of which will be all that is de
sired.
Column after column could l>c written
detailing the different objects along the
line and its immense numl>erof resources,
and we have to content ourself with this
short and unfinished sketch.
The party arrived safely at home
eleven o’clock Friday night in good spir
its and loud in praise of the people of
Talladega, the East and West Railroad
of Alabama, and its whole-souled, clever
and always to be remembered General
Manager, Capt. John Posted.
NOTES OF THE TlUi*.
Capt. Posted was suffering considera
bly from hay fever, but it takes some
thing heavierthau hay fever to down the
Captain’s ardor for his railroad and the
country through which it runs. He is
now at St. Simon's Island to recuper
ate.
Mr. James Schley, the genial contrac
tor, provided much fun for the party and
convinced all that he was a boy with all
the attending proclivities. He sings like
Patti Rosa, and would maketleorge Wil
son stagger to hear his jokes.
The extension from broken Arrow to
Pell City has been finished only a few
days and already there are three great
saw mills on the line.
Mr. R. Stokes Sayre, formerly of this
place, is doing a lucrative business at
Talladega and asked about everybody
in this community. He is well satisfied
with his surroundings and no one can
blame him, for it is lucky indeed to live
among such clever jieople as the Talla
degians.
The Georgians invited the Alabamians
to return the trip, which invitation was
accepted, and they will be up about the
first.
“Bill Arp” Expresses His Feel ng:.
About the happiest body on the trip
was our own Muj. C. H. Smith. He en
joyed himself immensely, and besides
“perusing the country” to his heart's
content, he enlivened the party with his
rich anecdotes and laughable yarns, lie
sends us the following which will be read
with interest :
Another railroad for Atlanta! Not
exactly that, but still we will have
to let Atlanta claim a piece of it, for it is
possible to get to Atlanta that way. It
is another feeder and carrier, not only
for Atlanta, but for New York and all
the world. Cartersville and Talladega
are its termini, but we are not selfish
about its benefits and are willing to di
vide. Railroads are built on ties, and
just so the ruilroads are ties that bind
the world together.
Cora year or so the East and West
Railroad of Alabama has had but one
end, and flint was at Curtersville. The
other end was loose and hanging to a
big pine tree away down in a wilderness
where the Indians used to live, and when
the white man stole their lands, those
Indians unstrung their bows and broke
their arrows and mournfully took their
departure for the far West. Evet* since
then that wild region has been called
Broken Arrow, and there the railroad
pitched its tent and went to mining for
coal.
But all new enterprises are envin n >d
by difficulties and the pioneers have a
hard time, and most generally fail just
before attaining success, and then a
new set come in and take fresh hold and
reap tlie rewards and get all the credit.
The development of the Broken Arrow
coal fields has lingered a good while, but
it is now made certain, and new capital
has been invested, and coke and coal are
being shipped, and before long the East
and West will change its gauge, so as to
hear these burdens on broader sholders.
The coal has improved in quantity and
quality, and the earth is being honey
combed like the catacombs of Egypt.
When the East and West had settled
the underground business beyond all
jieradventure, her managers made anew
departure for business and made a “file
left” for the Georgia Pacific, and con
nected with that great line at a point
now called Pell Pity, and so the line from
Cartersville to Birmingham is now com
plete, ami six or seven hours will take us
from one to the other.
“Strike boys, strike,” “dig men dig,” |
said Capt. Posted, as he hurried along
the incompleted link and cheered the
working forces. The telegraph brought
news of the fail me of Mr. Pell, the presi
dent, but Captain Posted never paused
nor showed any great concern. “Go
ahead boys, we will finish this road if the
whole world breaks. Drive those spikes
boys, send them up hard and fast.”
The Captain’s whole soul seems to be ab
sorbed in the success of his work. The
hay fever is in his head and eyes and run
ning from his nose, but he keeps on.
How hopefully he talks of the coal and
the coke, and iron and slate, and marble
and lime, and lumber that is now crowd
ing his road for transportation! “There
are forty car loads ot lumber that 1
could not haul yesterday, and the quan
tity is increasing on me every day,” said
he. “We are now connected with the
Rogers mills, and that means ten car
loads more every day. Mr. West wants
coke for his furnace, and we are now giv
ing it to him with less than one per cent,
of sulphur, and he is satisfied. Sett here
is the analysis, and it is only 88—lOOths
of 1 per cent.”
Pell City is the name on paper, the city
that is to be a beautiful level plain where
the E. & W., connects with the Georgia
Pacific. And why should it not be a
city? It is the highest table land be
tween* Atlanta and Birmingham and has
a back ground of hills and mountains
and we were assured by an old settler
that this region was so healthy the
mules never died, and the red foxes
turned into grey ones, and the turkey
buzzards had no roost and the crows
turned white with age. The Rogers
Brothers have just completed their road
from Talladega to this point, and all
along that line are new plants going up.
Saw mills and shingle mills and brick
yards are camping out and waiting for
the railroad. We stopped at Rogers, of
course we did. The Rogers boys, whose
long continued toil and energy and pru
dence have been rewarded, as it always
is, and now they have a plant that sus
tains directly and indirectly a thousand
people. They own twelve thousand
acres of the best timbered pine lands in
Alabama, and their immense mill cannot
supply the demands of Birmingham and
Chattanooga for their beautiful lumber.
Flooring and ceiling dressed and matched,
bridge timber forty feet long, all kinds of
framing, laths and shingles world with
out end. Churches, Sunday schools and
prohibition all thrive together and look
up with love and confidence to the men
who plan and sustain them all. As my
friend Willingham drew his pinchback
watch and timed the cutting up of a
large long log, he exclaimed, “just a min
ute and a half. Why, Major, this here
establishment is a bigger tiling than the
Atlanta Constitution. I'll be dogged if
it ain’t.”
The Talladega people received our par
ty with genuine old hospitality. They
are proud of the Rogers Brothers, and
make a pet of their railroad, and they
are happy at this connection with North
Georgia and the rest of the world. It
gives them choice of routes and produces
a healthy competition and an agreeable
civility. We were feasted with good
things for the body and some delightful
taffy for the soul, and shook hands not
across the bloody chasm, but the broken
link that is now mended.
Talladega is on a happy boom just
now, not one of these rainbow bubbles
that dazzle awhile and then float away
and burst, but a slow and sure boom
that is healthy and endures. She has
just completed her water works and gas
works and ice factory, and is building
the blind asylum and ornamenting her
suburbs with lakes and fountains and
boulevards. We found a live town and a
lively people, and were glad to hear of
t heir well deserved prosperity.
It was a delightful excursion to all of
our party, and we returned home with a
feeling of congratulation that we had
made the trip, the first trip over the
new line to Talladega. Before we sepa
rated wecalled ourselves to the chair and
appointed a secretary and passed the
following resolutions:
Resolved, That the East and West
Railroad as a success is largely due to
Capt. John Posted.
Resolved, That Capt. Posted is a suc
cess and may he be a successor.
Resolved, That Talladega is just as big
a town and as prosperous and has as
magnificent a destiny as her people
claim for her, and we hereby invite her
good people to come over and set; us,
and bring their knitting and partake of
our hospitality.
Resolved, That Rogers Brothers are
our own fellow-citizens of Bartow, and
we have only loaned them to Alabama
for a season, and shall cad them home in
due season.
These resolutions were carried tumul
tously. Bill Arp.

True Words.
No truer words were ever written than
these from an exchange:
“Every growing ambitious town is
composed of three elements. Those who
work patriotically, vigorously and in
telligently for its advancement; those
who are in a state of apathy or indiffer
ence, and those who take a curious de
light in discouraging the efforts of others
by ridicule, by a persistent denial that
any grogress can or has been accom
plished, and by boasting of every other
town besides their own. The last class
are called croakers, but they really are
something worse, for their own opposi
tion does not arise simply from despond
ency, but from that unenviable spirit
which will neither act itself nor suffer
others to act.”

Dr. E. L. Borcheim, one of the most
scientific and learned young physicians
in this country, committed suicide in
his private room, at the Kimball house,
last Sunday morning.
If Rev. Sam Jones could bring those
that do not pay for their paper to the er
ror of their ways, his mission on earth
will have been satisfactorily filled. The
missionary ground in this respect is large
and inviting.
Cartersville may not have her boom,
but she still has her Tabernacle and Sam
Jones, and that is saying a great deal.
We can see the green eyed monster sticky
ing out of our neighboring towns four
feet.
We cordially invite the Georgia legis
lature up to the Tabernacle lifting. We
do not know of any body that needs the
influence of the doctrine more that the
■distinguished body that persist in sitting
on the jpeople’s pocket book.
A great religious jubilee such as the
one we are having does any community
good. Cartersville, we say without fear
of contradictory evidence, is the most
moral town in Georgia. There is less pro
fanity and pure cussedness here than any
where. The only oaths heard are generally
imported.
The fleecy staple is flooding the Geor
gia markets just now. Pretty fair prices
are prevailing and the farmers are en
deavoring to get even with the world and
start over again. To all such we will say
that there is nothing that smooths things
along the rugged pathway of adversity
more than does a good local paper, “one
of whom we are which.”
Dr. Hawthorne evidently does not

The New York Journal of Commerce is
hopeful that the present gigantic combi na

“And now there come to our desk the

ly. All the railroad connections in har
monious combination to grow rich out
of fhe public needs! All the leading and
domestic and foreign telegraph lines un
der the finger and thumb of Mr. Gould!
The express business, already so oppres
sive in its levies upon quick dispatch, to
have control of the leading thorough
fares, and to be able to increase the pub
lic burdens! ‘Where,’ they ask in des
pairing tones, ‘shall we find a remedy for
this huge consolidation?’ A\ e have al
ways found that when evils attain gigan
tic growth they have in them all the ele
ments of speedy decay, and generally be
fore they reach that overshadowing im
portance they fall to pieces by their own
weight, which will not endure the desired
momentum.”

modern times, to have been produced by
the human intelleat at a single stroke, so
to speak, in its application to political
affairs. The invitation is accompanied
by every accessory that even American
hospitality could devise. Had I the real
option in the case I could not but accept,
but the limitation of my strength and
time, and the incessant pressure of en
gagements make me too well aware that
I have none. So far as I can see, the’
whole small residue of activity at my
command will be dedicated to the great
work at home. I will watch with pro
found interest the proceedings of your
celebration. When you will look back
upon the century of national advance

Liquor Dispensers.
A bill has been introduced into the
Senate, by Senator Powell, that in some
way effect the prohibition question.
The purpose is to provide means of sup
plying alcoholic and malt liquors for
medical uses.
The bill provides that in each city or
town in which the court house is located,
in each county, affected by the operations
of the local option law, there shall
kept at the court house alcoholic and
malt liquors for medicinal purposes, and
wines for sacramental purposes, to be in
charge of an officer appointed by the
judge of the sujierior court, said dispens
er. as he is called in the bill, to be selected
for known integrity and sobriety. The
bill makes it the duty of the grand jury
of each county to select such a physician
as it believes to be upright and reputa
ble, who shall be authorized to give cer
tificates to such persons as are in need of
whisky, said certificate to specify the
name, age and complaint of the party
wanting the liquors, the kind, quality,
quantity and price, and the said dispens
er, if he sells the liquor to the holder of
such certificate, shall enter the various
facts in said certificate in a book kept for
the purpose. The dispenser can reject
any certificate for good reasons, and can
not be held then or afterward responsible
for the same. He is required to make a
weekly report of the quantity, quality
and amount of liquor sold each week to
city or town authorities. He is required
to keep pure liquors, and must sell the
same at a price only sufficient to pay the
expense of handling it.
Minors cannot obtain liquors under any
circumstances without the written con
sent of parents of guardians.
The transactions at the dispensary, as
the place is named in the bill, shall be
strictly upon the cash basis.
If a physician issue a certificate and it
is afterwards ascertained that said certif
icate was fraudulently issued, thecircum
stances of the case not justifying the ap
plication, the physician will be forever de
barred henceforth from issuing certifi
cates.
If such a law could be passed and car
ried out without abuse, it might serve as
a great convenience in communities where
the sale of alcoholic or malt liquors, for
any purpose, are prohibited. But we are
apprehensive that many violations would
creep in under the cover of a certificate.
Though the bill closely guards against
anything of fhe kind, the possibilities are
there. Whenever you legitimize its sale
for any purpose, even with the most rigid
restrictions and circumscribed limits,
there the opportunities lie for looseness
and violations.
The Courant-Amerioan lies repeatedly
given expression to views similar to the
following timely suggestions by the Sa
vannah Morning News:
“A reformatory institution should be
provided for youthful convicts, and the
governor’s hands should be strengthened
sufficiently to enable him to put a check
upon the abuses in the convict camps.
Convicts ought to be punished, and that
too, severely, but they should be punish
ed as the law directs. It was never the
intention of the state that punishments,
in addition to those imposed by the
courts, should be inflicted upon them.
The action that the governor was com
pelled to take last week in order to en
force obedience to the law is calculated to
create the impression that while the govi
ernor is ready and prompt to do his duty
there must be untold outrages suffered
by the convicts of which the public hears
nothing.”

born author of “The Merry Men,” the
“Strange Story of Dr. Je Kyi and Mr.

works, is visiting America with his wife
and nephew.
The International Medical Congress
held its annual session in Washington
City last week. Among its delegates
were to be found doctors form every civ
ilized nation of the world.
The Macon Telegraph wisely suggests
that what the rising generation is look

be read” but the “100 that shouldn’t.”
Hon. G. W. Gustin, of Macon, has been
elected judge of the Macon circuit, to fill

Home Evidence

No other preparation lias svon success at
home equal to Howl's Sarsaparilla. Iu
Lowell, Mass., where it is made, it is now,
as it lias been for years, the leading medicine
for purifying the blood, and toning and
strengthening the system. This “ good name
at home” is “a tower of strength abroad.”

O' Sarsaparilla. Mr. Albert
i AW n|| Estes, living at 2S East Pine
t Street, Lowell, for 15 years
employed as boss carpenter by J. W. Bennett,
president of the Erie Telephone Company,
had a large running sore come on his leg,
which troubled him a year, when he began to
take Hood's Sarsaparilla. The sore soon grew
less in size, and in a short time disappeared.
Jos. I)unphy,2l4 Cen
tral Street, Lowell, had P TQIS©
swellings and lumps u H<s
on his face and neck, n o
which Hood’s sarsapa- Sarsaparilla
rilla completely cured.
Mrs. C. W. Marriott, wife of the First As
sistant Fire Engineer of Lowell, says that
for 1G years she was troubled with stomach
disorder and sick headache, which nothing
relieved. The attacks came on every’ fort
night, when she was obliged to take her bed,
and was unable to endure any noise. She
took Hood's Sarsaparilla, and after a time
the attacks ceased entirely.

They Figure in Two Fiendish Murders in
Calhoun County. Alabama.
Calhoun county, Ala., through which
the East and West railroad traverses, is
just now the scene of excitement that
borders on frenzy. At Cross Plains, Sat
urday about dark, a Mr. It. E. Lewis, a
well-to-do citizen, reprimanded a colored
boy by the name of Hall for rocking his
(Mr. Lewis’) cows. The negro became
impudent and, picking up a heavy rock,
threw it with terrible force, striking Mr.
Lewis in the left temple. The skull was
shattered and the unfortunate man sank
to the ground and in a few minutes ex
pired. The negro immediately took to
his heels, coming up the East and West
towards Cartersville. A telegram had
preceded his appearance at Rock in art,
giving a minute description of the darky.
Mr. “El” Bullock, the marshal of the
town, soon had the negro in charge ready
for transportation back to the scene of
his devilment.
Another cold blooded murder was also
perpetrated in Calhoun county last week,
in which a cold blooded darkey figures in
a most fiendish role. The negro, Monroe
Thompson, fell out with-a brother-in-law
of a Mrs. Poster about some work on the
railroad near Duke's. The brother-in
law lived with Mrs. Foster, and the negro
went to that lady’s house and called for
him. As the door was opened by Mrs.
Foster the negro, thinking it was his ene
my, fired, killing the lady instantly. An
other negro was present who held the
horse by which Thompson escaped. A
negro answering the description of
Thompson has been arrested and held in
Atlanta awaiting identification. The ne
gro that held the horse has also been
captured near Birmingham. The people
of Calhoun are considerably wrought up
and it is feared that when the darkies
land in the county jail a demand for them
will be made by Judge Lynch.
Strickland & Bio. again come to the
front with the largest and finest stock of
groceries in Cartersville. With their facil
ities for buying cheap from headquarters,
no establishment in the city is better pre
pared to meet the wants of the trade.
They take great pains in making a spe
ciality of everything in the grocery line,
and earnestly solicit the patronage of
both town and country people, guaran
tying to please in good treatment, quali
ty and prices.

Sam Small.
From the Atlanta Journal.
The report that Mr. Sam Small is to
make Washington City his- home is well
founded. His family has not gone there
yet, but it is expected they will do so.
Mr. Small thinks lie will find Washington
more convenient to him than Atlanta, as
lie will not have to travel so far when he
wishes to see his family. 1 presume by
this that Mr. Small intends to devote
most of his time to work in the section
further north. I hear he expects to lec
ture some, and lie is no doubt aware that
the lecture field in the South is about as
barren as the steep side of Stone moun
tain.
On this page is printed to-day a lecture
delivered by Mr. Small in Kansas City
last Monday night. In it he tells the
ever interesting story of his wild life and
unexpected conversion and reformation.
“Sam,” as his old friends will always call
him, is billing- some right tough things on
himself. He has material enough, how
ever, to last quitq a while, and e dare say
he will never be able to tell it all.
1 have a large tintype of Sam, repre
senting him in his Texas “get up,” with
an immense broad-brimmed hat on his
head and his hair falling about his shoul
ders. In spiee of his uncouth appearance,
however, the picture is exceedingly attrac
tive, for his face is lighted by his wonder
fully fascinating eyes. His Texas ways
stuck to him for a long time after became
to Atlanta. One day I heard his friend,
Bridges Smith, now of the Macon Tale
graph, ask despairingly:
“Will that fellow never get the ‘Texas’
out. out of nis system ? ”
Smit h and Small used to publish the
Atlanta Sunday Herald —rest to her soul,
she's dead—and Small used to sleep all
night Saturday nightw on his desk and
write his “Old Si "after gun-up on Sunday
morning. The last thing before the bar
rooms closed on Saturday nights in those
times was to buy a bucket of beer for the
“boys” who were at work on the Sunday
paper. I guess if my friend Smith could
see Small in the pulpit with his Prince Al
bert buttoned close up under his chin and
hear him preach the gospel of the gentle
Saviour, he would decide that the “Tex
as" had been gotten pretty well out of
Sam's system.
I was sitting at the reporter's desk at
the Sam Jones test with Sam Small,when
Mr. .Jones made such an imprestion on
him, and he started on the road to con
version. Sam says he was drinking that
day, and I w ill make affidavit to the same
statement if necessary. Tne sermon was
about the judgment, and I well remember
one thing the preacher said, in that deep
ly impressive mamler w hich he sometimes
assumes. It was:
“And what is the judgment? It is the
j last day of the last session of heaven's
chancery; when the swearer has sworn
his last oath, and the liar has told his
I last lie, and the drunkard has drunk
| When Mr. Jones said that, I saw Mr.
Small flinch, and I felt right sorry for
him, for I knew how hard he had tried
to reform and how utterly he had failed.
No matter how faithfully he tells of his
past struggles, man can never know how
completely the passion for drink had
mastered him. ’
Two years have passed since the Sun
day to which 1 have referred, and the
Sam Jones meetings are again in prog
ress at ('artersville. Mr. Small has been
sober for two straight years. Speak
ing as one who knew him well, I want to
say that in my opinion no power on
earth could have saved him. If Sam
Small was not saved by a blessing from
on high, then his was indeed a very
strange case.

Republic Gigarros can be had at Wikle&
Co.'s cigar case. This is one of the most

A Bill to Add Two More Justices to
the Supreme Court.
A bill has been introduced into the
Senate by Mr. Davidson to change the
Constitution of the State, by increasing
the number of Supreme Court Judges
from three to five, and preparing for the
proper submission of the matter to the
people for ratification. The bill has
unanimously passed the Senate and now
goes to the House for concurrence, with
every prospect that it will be agreed to.
This is one of the most important meas
ures yet brought to the attention of the
people.
It is a well known fact that our Su
preme Court Judges are fearfully over
worked: and the only remedy is to in
crease the number. The Justices who
died while in office, have been literally
worked to death. It has long been a
crying shame upon the State that she
should be so’niggardly with her highest
tribunal —both as to the number of
Judges and their compensation. When
the matter is properly presented to the
people, we do not believe that they will
hesitate for a moment to ratify the
amendment proposed, but would be glad
to increase the salaries of the Judges
to something like reasonable compensa
tion for the responsibilities and services
required of them.
We are told that the Judges, at pres
ent, ure forced to work from seven o’clock
in the morning til late at night in order
to keep up with the work of the court.
Frequently they are so pushed that they
do not have time to give to that careful
investigation of authorities, that is re
quired of courts of final appeal, hence
their decisions are not as strong and sat
isfactory as they would otherwise be.
The full bench of the Massachusetts su
preme court has handed down the follow
ing decision: “The owner of real estate
abutting upon a highway is liable to
strangers lawfully using the highway who
suffer injury from the dangerous con
struction or condition of buildings upon
the real estate, although the estate is let
to and occupied by a tenant at will, if
this dangerous construction or condition
existed at the time of the letting by the
owner, and if the tenant was not bound
by agreement with the owner to put the
premises in proper condition.” The plain
tiff in the case fell down a defective coal
hole.
A Sound Legat Opinion.
E. Bainbridge Mundav, Esq., County
Attorney, Clay County, Texas, says:
“Have used Electric Bitters with most
happy results. My brother also was
very low with Malarial Fever and Jaun
dice, but was cured by timely use of this
medicine. Am satisfied Electric Bitters
saved his life.”
Mr. D. I. Wilcoxon, of Horse Cave,
Ky., adds a like testimony, saying: He
positively believes he would have died
iiad it not been for Electric Bitters.

well as cure, all Malarial Diseases, and

Bread Upon the Waters.
A story that reads like a romance, but
is yet vouched for as strictly true, comes
to us from North Carolina. Many years
ago Mr. James MeCurry, of Laurens, S.
C., went oft' to California to make his
fortune, but was compelled to write home
for funds. His relatives were probably
poor, but George Dillard, his brother-in
law, a struggling young attorney, now
of Nashville, scraped up and sent him
flOb. MeCurry soon began to prosper
in his far-away home and, to make a
long story short, became through for
tunate investments in California mineral
lands many times a millionaire. But he
seems never to have forgotten the help
extended to him by his relatives when lie
was needy and, now that he is dead, a
certified copy of his will sent to Asheville
reveals the fact that the two daughters
of Dillard are heiresses to $ 1,000,000.

after many days it will return.” Verily

Sirs: About three months ago, noticing
a letter addressed to you in the Bee from
Gen. Slevin, in reference to the cure of
his son by the use of Hall’s Catarrh Cure,
we were induced to commence the use of
it tor our daughter Nellie now fourteen
years old, who has been suffering from
catarrh for about eight years, during
which time she has been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also teied the use of almost all the
known remedies for catarrh, with no
more success than temporary relief.
Many nights have we laid awake to hold
her mouth open to keep her from strang
ling. Her hearing had also become affec
ted. We were afraid that ' she would
never recover. We have now used six
bottles of Hall's Catarrh Cure, and we
believe Nellie to be entirely cured. In a
few days after commencing the use of it
we noticed a decided change for the bet
ter, and from that right along she has
improved, until now she breaths as easily
as any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is perfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
write this unsolicited letter, feeling that
it is due you, and with the hope that
others may be benefitted in like manner.
We can hardly realize that such a change
could be effected in so short a time
after battling with the disease so long.
We are still using the remedy at inter
vals, as it seems to build up her system.
You are at liberty to use this in any
manner you see proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mr. and Mrs. Baldwin,
