Official Organ of Barlow County.
THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 29, 1887.
The Georgia Legislature is here to
stay.
The House refused to concur in the
sickly substitute to the Glenn educa
tional bill.
The red flag, so far as this American
republic is concerned, begins to look
pretty bine.
Tennessee will vote upon prohibition
to-day. The result is doubtful, with the
chances in favor of anti-prohibition.
Qeorok Francis Train, the eccentric
man, has again brought himself before
the public. This time as the defender
and champion of the condemned anar
chists.
• The prohibition election in Whitfield
on hint Tu end ay, resulted in a largely in
creased majority for prohibition, major
ity being something over 400.
Gen. Roger A. Pit yob has lioen em
ployed by the friends of the condemned
anarchists, to carry their case to the
Supreme court of the United States.
The fallacy that there is a “scarcity of
money” was shown by the fact that call
loans fell from 0 and 7 to 4 ]>er cent, in
New York the day the treasury circular
was issued offering $14,000,000 at fixed
prices.
It’s all a mistake about Frank James
is to be in Atlanta during the exposition.
It was reported that a dry goods man ot
the town had engaged his services as a
salesman, but the merchant has posi
tively denied the rumor.
The citizens of Washington City, irre
sj>ective of party affiliations, have ar
ranged to extend a royal welcome, to ex
(jlovernor “Boss” Shepherd who is soon
to visit the Nation's Capital, after a long
absence. Verily, time changes all things-
Flow da is rapidly falling into line
with prohibition Georgia. On last Thurs
day elections were held, under the gener
al local option law of that State, in a
number of counties, resulting in a sweep
for prohibition. The whiskey men were
utterly routed, and the “dry men
carried the day by storm.
The rock-ribbed democracy of old Bar
tow should be represented in the torch
light procession in Atlanta on the night
of the 19th October, in honor of Presi

the great parade. Let us send a dele
gation. Who will volunteer?
Another model business man has gone
wrong. This time it is a big iron impor
ter whose recent failure in New Haven,
Conn., with liabilities of $2,000,090, and
actual assets of SIOO,OOO, who has
caused such a sensation. He is charged
with obtaining money under false pre
tenses and will probably find his way into
prison. Of course he was a man of the
highest standing.
To our solid old pard, Grover Cleve
land, and his much the better looking
half, we extend the hospitalities of our
town on the event of his passing through
on the 17th of October. Besides many
other attractions we can show him as
clever and whole-souled people as he or any
other president ever saw, and lastly and
not leastly, the prettiest lot of Georgia
girls he will see on his trip. Stop and
feast your eyes, Grove.
Under the heading of “Twolnstructive
Pictures,” the Philadelphia Times says:
“On the day that Governor Gordon was
cheered by more than a million people in
this the lonely old Senator from
Ohio waved the bloody shirt with charac
teristic spasm. There is a story some
where about a sad-eyed cow that tried
to climb a tree horns down that suggests
the way that Mr. Sherman is moving on
the White House. The more the cow
climbed the more she didn’t go up.
The Washington correspondent of the
St. Louis Republican Bays: Rev. Sam

To-morrow he has an engagement to

The following noble words were con
tained in a formal address, of the Con
federate Yetrans association, of l’ensa.
cola, to their comrades throughout the
country: “We desire a closer union in
order to jH-rpetuafe the memories of our
fallen comrades, and to minister, as far
us practicable, to the wants of those who
were permanently disabled in the service,
to preserve and maintain that sentiment
of fraternity born of the hardships and
dangers shared in the march, the bivouac
and the battlefield. It is proposed not
to prolong the animosities engendered
by the war, but to extend to our
late adversaries, on every fitting occas
ion, courtesies*which are always proper
between soldiers, and which, in our case,
a common* citizenship demands at our
hands.
“We propose to avoid everything
which partakes of partisanship, in re
ligion and politics, but at the same time,
we will lend our aid to the maintainance
of law and the preservation of order.”
Of the dynamite gun lately treated in
the columns, Secretary Whitley makes
this statement: “The experiment was
most successful. Seeing is believing, and
I wished to see something actually done.
I have been incredulous, but I confess I
was greatly impressed with the power of
the explosion. The vessel was lifted up
bodily and then went out of sight in
stantly. The resistance of that target
was evidently no measure of the power
of the projectile. It demonstrated this—
that they can lodge dynamite in destruc
tive quantities a mile and a quarter off
with considerable accuracy, and it is a
matter of detail to merely increase the
range of the gun and the quantity of the
explosive so as to render it capable of
destroying the strongest ironclads. It
avoids the present contest between tor
pedoes and machine guns. The method
now employed for using high explosives
is in torpedoes. Torpedoes are met by
machine guns and steel nettings placed
about ships, but this is anew method of
attack. Taking its range and the line of
flight of the projectile, it is difficult to
say how it can be met. For coast de
fense it seems to me the most important
arm yet invented. I have steadily in
sisted upon the idea that the company
should have an opportunity to show
what it could do, and I am gratified
that this American invention has not
had to go abroad for its first encourage
ment. It has it from the Navy Depart
ment. Its usefulness on ships has yet to
be established, but its importance gen
erally in naval w arfare as an arm cannot
be overestimated.”
Abolishing His Own Poverty.
The Philadelphia Times sizes Henry
George up, in the following way:
“It used to be said that the true way
to abolish poverty was for each individ
ual to be industrious and economical,
and thus abolish his own poverty.
Henry George has anew recipe for the
poverty of other people. He would make
paupers of the land owners, in order
that the rest of the population might be
rich and comfortable.
But Henry George in person practices
the old way of abolishing his own pov
erty. He sells his books and newspapers
to his anti-poverty followers for the
highest price he can get for them and
salts down his money in good invest
ments, just the same as the bloated mo
nopolists he finds so much fault with.
His position as leader of the Anti-Pov
erty party and its chief candidate for
office makes him the best advertised
man in the country. While he is in no
danger of getting elected to office; his
notoriety enables him to coin money out
of his publications, which he does as
eagerly as he would if lie were a Gould or
a Vanderbilt. It is stated on what ap
pears to be good authority that Mr.
George has made $50,000 or more in
sojid cash within a year. He lives in a
very pretty house in a fashionablesuburb
of New York and quite in the style of
other men of means. He has not pro
posed to give up his profitable business
or divide its proceeds with his enthusias
tic followers. Having been endowed by
nature with more brains than most of
his disciples, he is not above farming his
brains for his own benefit quite in the
old fashioned way.
Like a good many reformers of both
ancient and modern times, Mr. George s
preaching does not tally with his prac
tice. His theory is advanced as a good
thing for other men to practice, but as
for him, the old fashioned way of abol
ishing his own poverty seems to be very
satisfactory. If Mr. George’s followers
would follow Mr. George’s example they
would have less poverty to complain of
than they are likely to have l>y follow ing
Ids teachings.”
It will cost you nothing to come and
thoroughly e: amine our goods and
prices, and compare them with others, as
we are determined not to be undersold,
and also equally determined that no
such bargains shall be obtained else
where as we offer. This means low’
prices to all who come.

The Macon Telegraph Changes Hands.
Last Sunday’s issue of the Macon Tele
graph made the announcement that
that paper had been purchased by anew
company, composed of some of Macon s
most prominent business men, and would
with that issue go into new hands. The
purchasers will change the entire policy
of the paper. Col. J. F. Hanson, the
late manager, and Col. A. R Lamar, who
has so long had charge of the editorial
department of the paper, both retire.
Mr. J. H. Campbell, one of the direc
tors and purchasers, has been made pres
ident of the new compan,y and general
manager of the paper.
In assuming control of the paper Mr.
Campbell says:
In assuming the management of the Macon
Telegraph, it 1h but right that I should briefly
outline the future policy of the paper. 1 regard
the present tariff rates as unnecessarily high and
shall support the President and the greot body
of the Democratic party in their efforts to reduce
the same. A gradual reduction that will not se
riously interfere with manufacturing interests
seems to be the reasonable course. I shall not
forget that the agricultural interests of the
country must be considered in reaching a just
conclusion.
I shall do all in m.v power to support our gal
lant Governor and patriotic Legisature in their
efforts to advance the welfare of the State, and
will especially devote myself to every object
which promise advancement of the material, in
tellectual and moral condition of the city of
Macon.
It would seem from this announcemeut
that the new management propose to
make the paper more progressive and
consrvative, than the policy of the paper
has heretofore been upon this liue, the
paper will no doubt weild a broader in
fluence and attain greater success in it
financial sense.
The Telegraph, under the old regime,
by its pronounced and independent way
of putting things, made its impress upon
journalism in Georgia, that it will not
soon be forgotten. Its course made both
friends and enemies, but nobody ever
doubted the honesty or sincerity of its
purpose. We will miss the caustic, but
classical editorials of Col. Lamar from
its columns. His vigorous and facile pen
will not long remain idle. It will, we
trust, soon find expression in some
other journal.
Hrsul TI is, Farmer.

Jeans for the least money ever brought

THE STATE ROAD.
Rport of the Committee Upon the State’s
Property.
The sftecial committee appointed to
investigate the property of the State
road in Tennessee and in this State sub
mitted their report to the House Satur
day. The report covers over twenty-four
pages, and is a thorough one. The com
mittee reported that the lessees of the
Western and Atlantic railroad had been
compelled to pay in taxes to Tennessee
$90,000.55. The State of Georgia owned
in her own right a charter to build and
equip a railroad to the eastern margin of
the Tennessee river. The rights not be
ing specifically stated in the charter, a
second act recited that they were the
same as granted to the Hiwassee rail
road, subsequently changed to the East
Tennessee and Virginia railroad. In 1845
additional rights were conferred upon
the State, being the same rights, privi
leges and immunities and restrictions as
conferred upon the Nashville and Chatta
nooga railroad.
In 1840 the. Mayor and Council of Chat
tanooga granted to the Western and At
lantic railroad the right to extend a
track from tlfb depot, on Tenth street,
through the center of Broad street (sub
sequently called Railroad avenue) to the
Tennessee liver. The track was accord
ingly laid and the right enjoyed up to a
short period after the lease of the West
ern and Atlantic railroad.
A short lime prior to the leasing of the
Western and Atlantic railroad a bill was
filed in the Chancery Court to abate this
right as a nuisance, and on the further
ground of uon-usal and mis-usal.
A decree was rendered against the State
by default, but was held up until the
lessees took possession. The city ordered
the track torn up and removed, and at
the same time were proceeding to extend
Georgia avenue across the triangular lot
owned by Georgia. The lessees filed a
bill to enjoin the city from further pro
ceeding, but finding themselves shut off
by the decree, compromised the matter
by granting to the city certain rights as
to the triangular lot, and which compro
mise has been to the State’s advantage.
The state owns nine acres in Chatta
nooga and six acres at Chickamauga.
The estimated value of this property is
$1,050,000. Between the line of Ten
nessee and Atlanta there are seventy-two
parcels of land, whose value the commit
tee did not investigate or estimate.
The committee consider that the con
trait of#’ oster Blodgett, superintendent
of the Western and Atlantic railroad, by
which he agreed to exchange certain
realty with the Macon and Western rail
road, was an unfortunate transaction
for t he state.
The committee find that Mr. Blodgett,
as superintendent turned over the tele
graph business to the Western Union
Telegraph company, “forever,” which
they regard as unjust and against the in
terest of the state.
There are now outstanding SBII,OOO
in court bonds, issued by the lesses, and
SOBO,OOO of income bonds will mature in
October, 1877. The committee recom
mend :
First, the selection of a competent en
gineer to lay off and map out the land
belonging to the state, not necessary to
the road.
Second, the appointment of a compe
tent commission to make an inventory
of the Western and Atlantic railroad.
Third, that the governor be author
ized to test the validity of the contract
with the AYestern Union Telegraph com
pany.
Fourth, that the property in Chatta
nooga be subdivided into small lots of
fifty feet front and sold separately.
Fifth, in the event that it is considered
not wise to sell the Western and Atlantic
railroad, they recommend that the road
be leased for a long term of years, about
the time of a railroad charter.

F. J. Cheney & Cos., Toledo, O.—Dear
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 lias been treated by one
of the best physicians in the city. We
have also teiwl 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
bot tles 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
us any one. She sleeps well and her
hearing is jierfectly good. We feel that
the disease is entirely removed. We
w rite 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 s3’stem.
You are at liberty to use this in any
manner yon hcc proper.
We are yours, truly,
Mb. and Mbs. Baldwin,

I can hardly realize that the summer is
past. It seems such a little while since
farmers were making preparations for
planting, but such is the fact and fall is
upon us.
It is ' sad to see vegetation wither and
leaves fall, but the saddest thought is
that the flowers that have been so lovely,
so bright and fragrant all the year, from
which we have derived so much pleasure
and comfort, will soon be nipped and
withered by the frost king, but this is in
evitable and we must submit and do our
best to get all the good of each season,
and thereby be contented.

Mrs. Aldee jumped out thinking she

not able to manage the team and by
some means the horses ran into a ditch
upsetting the carriage, throwing them
all out, Mrs. H. falling under the carriage,
but luckily the ditch was too narrow to
let the weight rest fully on her. By some
means the horses got loose so as not to
drag the carriage and by this means Mrs.

not seriously injured.

Salt Rheum
The agonies of those who suffer from severe
salt rheum are indescribable. The cleansing,
healing, purifying influences of Hood’s Sarsa
parilla are unequalled by any other medicine.
“ I take pleasure in recommending Hood’s
Sarsaparilla, for it lias done wonders for me.
I had salt rheum very severely, affecting me
over nearly my entire body. Only those who
have suffered from tills disease in its worst
form can imagine the extent of my affliction.
I tried many medicines, but failed to receive
benefit until I took Hood's Sarsaparilla.
Then the disease began to subside, the
Agonizing Itch and Pain
disappeared, and now I am entirely free from
the disease. My blood seems to be thor
oughly purified, and my general health is
greatly benefited.” Lyman Allen, Sexton
N. E. Church, North Chicago, 111.
“ My son had salt rheum on his hands and
the calves of his legs, so bad that they would
crack open and bleed. He took Hood's Sar
saparilla and is entirely cured.” J. B. Stan
ton, Mt. Vernon, Ohio.
From 108 to 130
“ I was seriously troubled with salt rheum
for three years, and receiving no benefit from
medical treatment I decided to try Hood’s
Sarsaparilla. lam now entirely cured of salt
rheum; my weight has increased from 108 lbs.

If you suffer from salt rheum, or any blood

many others, and will cure you.

ADAIRSVILLE.
The annual assemblage of Middle Geor
gia Cherokee Baptist Association met here
on the 24th, occupying three days, with
an adjournment yesterday to meet next
year at Taylorsville. And for this little
hamlet we heartily wish all the enjoyment
and enlightenment that we have had
from this collection of good men. Truly
have we ever looked upon so many peo
ple in our midst —perhaps those older
who were forced to see with fright and
disdain once, the tramp of soldiery
through our midst to the sea. But now
how different this multitude, Christian
ized, and supplanting the olive branch.
Every train brought in delegates from
their respective Churches who were prop
erly assigned their homes here among a
people whose generosity and hospitality
knew no bounds in the entertainment of
their friends. Even a stranger by the
wayside, representatives from all the
towns along the railroad, and inland
places besides, helped to swell our popular
tion until Adairsville could be certainly
called, without variations—street cars—
“the biggest little city on the W. & A.
railroad.” This association was called to
order for reorganization and for the
transaction of business by J. G. Ryals,
moderator, with C. H. Rice clerk. Letters
were then read from the Ist, 2d, 3d and
4th Church Districts by Revs. Headden
and Robertson, showing the good and
progressive state of these Churches and
their advancement in the missionary
cause. Recommendations were made
from the Committee on Education for the
building of a high school to be known as
the Ryals Institute—its location not yet
determined upon, but will be built at an
early date. Of the thirty or more
Churches called, delegates for each were
found here as their representatives, and
who answered to the roll call. Upon the
re-election of officers for the ensuing year
the choice of the association was their
old commander as moderator, J. G.
Ryals. Through his ill health and being
infirm somewhat, he reluctantly accepted
this office. His duties, however, were
lightened by the election afterwards o
an assistant moderator, P. E. Hawkins.
Then came the election of a clerk, with
his help—C. 11. Rice and E. B. Earle. Af
ter a fervent address to this association
by their moderator, and there being no
other business the meeting adjourned.
Services were held at both Churches
morning, afternoon and night by eminent
divines. With them we notice Dr. Battle,
of Mercer University, Macon; Rev. G. S.
Tumlin, Marietta; Rev. Dr. Boykin, edi
tor of “Kind Words.” Never has our
pulpits been occupied with such sermons,
abounding in eloqence, crystalline in state
ments and vigorous in argumentation.
When the minister faced the auditory his
eye met a patient and refined assemblage,
who were comfortably seated in a com
modious building, made- so somewhat
from the total absence of the Gainesboro
hat, a palm leaf fan and fleshy people,
a combination of events that was quite
consoling. We will refer to this series of
religious meetings here with a sense of
profound happiness and pleasure and bid
adieu to the association of Christians
with a God-speed in their good work.
We notice from Cartersville Misses
Alley and Davis; Messrs. Foute and Con
yers. Kingston was represented by
Misses Hargis and Mr. Rogers and fami
ly, J. P. Bowdoin and J. M. Anderson.
Mr. H. A. Chapman and wife, Calhoun,
Dr. J. W. Clements,Subligna, Revs. J. W.
Robertson, Chattanooga, Battle, Mercer
University, Macon, Mr. T. C. Boykin, At
lanta. The lack of time and space pre
vented your reporer from obtaining more
social items.
Over 3000 people wended their way to
their respective homes yesterday.
The depot presented a lively scene with

The German newspafters and people
are hearty and eloquent in their praise of
Prince Bismarck just now. This is emi
nently fitting. The twenty-five years in
which he has held the office, Prince Min
ister, have been eventful years in th 6 his
tory of his country. In that time he
has succeeded, first, in putting Prussia
at the head of the German confedera
tion, and afterwards in making the

A leading physician writes that he has
noticed warm days and and cool nights
always affect the bowels, and suggests
some preventative remedy, Dr. Digger's
Huckleberry Cordial is the one.
German States, which he fused into one
nation under the leadership of the royal
house of Prussia, the most conspicuous
military power of the world. He found
Germany weak, discordant and despised
when he first come into power, and has
m itade the arbiter of Europe. Thestrate
gic skill of Moltke and the military dash
and audacity of the “Red Prince,” would
have never been known to the world had
not Bismarck furnished an opportunity
for the exercise of these qualities. Thelron
Chancellor has stamped himself not
only as the greatest organizer, but the
most consummate diplomat of the age,
perhaps, without a peer iu the annuls of
history. The German nation cannot be
too fulsome in its praises, or ascribe to
him too much credit, for the proud posi
tion he has achieved for her. When
death has loosened his iron grasp from
the helm of the state, which in the natu
ral order of things, it must soon do, the
house of Hohenzollein may not find an
other such adviser.
KINGSTON.
Died near Kingston, Sept. 23, Joseph
McDermot from paralysis, he was an old
man a quiet peaceable citizen. Told his
family he was ready to go, was not
afraid of death.
Mr. S. L. Baylessand family of Minnea
polis Minn., arrived in Kingston Sunday.
They have come to stay with us, and
are now citizens of our place. Mr. Bell
has been here a month or so, they have
opened out a splendid stock of goods;
the style of the firm is Bayless & Bell, We
extend to them a cordial welcome and
happy with their adopted home.
Kingston is moving up, Mr. James S.
Goodwin is building anew residence.
J. M. Anderson it Cos., have extended
their store house 16 or 18 feet. McKel

house and it looks very neat.
A large number of our people attended
the association at Adairsville Sunday.
Mr. J. S. Harris has been dangerously
ill forover a month. He was thought to
be dying Saturday night, but reaction
took place and he is now we are glad to
say much better. Jakie.
In his letter to the committee of an
nouncements for the reunion of the blue
and the gray, at Evansville, lud., regret
ting his iniability to be present, Gov.
Gordon expressed the following patri
otic sentiments: Official duties of the
most pressing character, imposed by cir
cumstances which I could not control,
compel my immediate return to Georgia.
It is one of the serious disappointments,
of my life that 1 am thus denied the
privilege of attending the “Reunion of
the Blue and Gray” at Evansville. It
was my desire and purpose, after wit
nessing the celebration of the constitu
tion centennial, at Philadelphia, the pres
ent week, to return by way of Evans
ville and by my presence to at least ex
press the earnest and fervent sympathy
I feel with the heaven-inspired effort
there to be made to banish from the
hearts of brave men the last vestige of
enmity or suspicion, and weld them in a
common brotherhood as sacred as truth,
and as enduring as time. This should be
the aim and ambition of men, and its ac
complishment should enlist the prayers
a nd efforts of good men and women in all
our country. For myself, I had rather
be an humble instrument in the hands of
Providence to obliterate the dissensions
growing out of our late civil war than to
accept the highest position iu the uni
verse. This result it is the beneficent
tendency of the reunion to achieve, and
therefore it is with pain I relinquish the
hope of participating in the occasion.
