courAnt-american. X 5 -u.tll3n.*i3. Ever y Tliureday. CAKTEIUMLLK, GEORGIA. WIKLK A WILI.IMUHAM. 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 dent Cleveland. Her sturdy representa tives can join the “Raccoon Roughs in 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 uel W. Small, the evangelist, has rented the house, 702 Nineteenth street, and lias moved his family to this city, which will be his home for some time to come, lie finds, lie says, that Washington will Ik? a more convenient point of departure for his evangelistic work than Atlanta, (la. He has engagements which compel him to travel through the south and west and while he will be absent from the city a great deal of his time, yet he ex ]KH-ts to take an active interest, in the religious work carried on here. He likes the city very much and says it is the most attractive place he has ever seen. To-morrow he has an engagement to preach in Baltimore. 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. J. T. Wortham & Cos., sep29-tf 88 Broad St., Rome, Ga. 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.

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. A Curd. Ahairsville, Ga., Sept. 21st, 1887. Mr. Bartow Leake, .\gent Macon Fire Insurance Cos., Cartersville, Ga. Dear Sir. —I am just in receipt of your favor with checks enclosed from the Macon Fire Insurance Company, of Macon, Ga., for Three Hundred and Fifty Dollars, ia full payment of the loss on my dwelling and furniture, which was burned on the Bth of September. Also, to thank you for your earnest efforts in securing so prompt a payment of the loss and other assistance rendered iu settling the same.

Office of Shaw & Baldvvind's Wholesale\ Notion House, Toledo, 0., Dec 11,1879./ 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.

QRASSDALE. A few nights last week made us hunt a little more cover, a fire felt comfortable’ 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. Rev. P. E. Hawkins and his daughter Alice, attended the association at Adairs ville. Brothers AYhite and England were around among the Upper Grassdale peo ple during last week. Bro. England gave valuable assistance in the meeting at Cassvills, he preachsd five sermons in Ills usual earnest and heart-felt manner. He could not doubt that the people still love him by the manner in which they re ceived him, and I have no doubt but that he returned to his own work refreshed and strengthened. I can hardly keep from telling of the gracious meeting at Cassville, but this would be going out of my province and intruding upon Scrib bler, one who is far more capable to do the subject justice. Mrs. Nannie AVilkerson from Rock Ledge, Fla., and her little son, Joe, are visiting her brother, J. L. Irick. Mrs. YA\ has spent the summer at her old home in A irginia, and stopped here to see her relatives and friends. As Mrs. Aldee, Mrs. Herring and two little boys were going from the church to Dr. Griffin’s one of the horses hitched to the carriage stumbled, this broke the leather that held up the pole, letting it drop. The horses commenced running. Mrs. Aldee jumped out thinking she might catch them. The little boys were 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. A. was hurt very little, the boys escaped unhurt. Mrs. Aldee was considerably shaken up by jumping ami fulling, but not seriously injured. Mr. G. R. Gibbons has gone to his old home in Rockingham county, A a., to visit his relatives. His two brotners from Missouri are there also. He will get to see all his brothers and sisters except one, who resides in California. This will be a very pleasant trip for him, all ex cept the parting, this will be sad for they are all getting old, and in all probability, it will be their last meeting on earth. We hope this will be the only sad thing to occur on his trip. Chofton. STEGALL. Miss Lena Jones left last week for Nor cross, Ga., where she will attend school for several months. Lee Tapp, of Acworth, and Miss Gold win, of Carolina, favored our place with a flying visit last week. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
