THURSDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1887.
Hello there, Putnam county, old liar
tow's tears mingle with thine.
Thk Piedmont Exposition has brought
Atlanta more money anti curses, than
glory.
Atlanta needs to hump herself in the
way of taking care of the stranger within
her gates.
Thousands of people have been busy
the last week shaking Atlanta dirt from
f heir feet.
i r , ' ,MW
Tun Piedmont Exposition has served
its purpose. Atlanta has reaped a har
vest of shekels.
“What we might have done,” will be
like Bauquo’s ghost to the average mem
ber of the present legislature.
(loon old Polk county, with its thou
sands of Hue mineral, stood no show with
the “tine Italian hand,” allee samee
Bartow.
Floyd county is already talking up a
fair in their own county. Guess Bartow
cannot afford to loan her any more min
eral samples.
.Miss Winnik, the daughter of the Con
federacy, thrice welcome to the Empire
State of the South! There is no slienan
agin about this.
Will the counties that borrowed sam
ples of Bartow’s minerals please prance
them forward, as they have served the
purpose for which they were loaned.
To tbll thk honest truth, we haven’t
heard a croak for two weeks, ami moss is
fast falling from its long home also. Such
a state of affairs is bound to bring good
results.
It took a committee several days to
make up its mind to take away from
Bartow its deserved premium. Con
science is generally very slow in oing
itself injury.
Floyd county’s effort to secure the
premium on minerals at the Piedmont
Exposition, is commendable; but the
action of the committee, in awarding it
to her over Bartow, whs outrageous.
Oi k people should organize and work
in unity for the development of our town
anticounty. It is plain that we need expect
no outside assistance. I p ui.d at it, and
down the fellow that dares to denv our
prestige!
Putnam county is growling, and
righteously, too. Its exhibit was the
handsomest and most perfect, save the
Florida exhibit, at the exposition. But
some how or other Putnam didn’t know
how to scheme.
When the outside world seems to tie
fighting our cdunty and her interests,
isn’t it about time our own people should
organize, blow our own horn and pull
against the odds that seem to work
against us?
It may not be generally known, but we
are prepared to state most positively
that the Georgia Legislature took a tum
ble when the exposition opened up. In
one sense the expositipn has proven a
(lod-send to the tax-payers of Georgia.
Hon. Linton Dean, of Floyd, chairman
of the Northwest Georgia exhibit at the
Piedmont exposition, is a bumper for his
eouuty. His work proves itself for the
past few days. He's tor Floyd on each
and every occasion under any and all
circumstances.
The most surprised people in the State
were probably the good |>eople of Floyd
and Rome, when they learned that that
county had secured the premium on min
erals. Dante Fortune has, indeed, re
warded the untiring friends of Floyd
county and Home.
’ PaoK.t'ol.vlN, the clever gentleman and
mineral expert that gathered and showed
off Lloyd's exhibit, acknowledged that
Bartow’s mineral exhibit was far superior
to anything on the ground at the exposi
tion. Mr. Dean and the committee
thought otherwise, however.
Whk.n old Bartow, the grand old coun
tv that has tor decades, without dispute
from any one, stood at the head ot this
whole section for her mineral wealth, is
to be set aside by a much inferior county,
it is time the angels should wope their
weep and the Gods get in their sack-cloth
and ashes. ____
The Home Tribune is fairly humping
itself and it is refreshing to note the
awakening of the Home merchants to the
fact that thetow ncannot get along w ith
out a first-class newspafier. They are
moving up on the right line and every
morning the Tribune proclaims their
greatness to the world in no uncertain
tones. _______________
Thk State Fair opened at Macon last
Monday. Immense crowds are in attend
ance, but as yet no complaint has been
made on account of a want of aecommo
dations, ami we venture the assertion
that there will be none. The Cent ral City
never “bites oft' more than shecan chew."
Nor was she ever know n to become so
thoroughly wrapped in herself and selfish
interest, as to cause her to neglect her
gm-sts.
To the Fanners of Bartow Comity.
j We desire to say a few words es|ie< ially
to the formersof Bartow county,concern
j ing their relation to their county town,
in which, above every other class, they are
most intei-ested. And of this we think we
! can very soon convince them. As farrn
i ers, you must recognize it as vonr duty
to look with care ami dilligencc to the
things that will tend most towards giving
profit to your labors, adding value to
your land and lightening your burdens
Toth'sen !,nothing is more essential than
the establishment and the maintenance
of a good home market. It is a self
evident proposition, that the larger and
more proß|erous your eounty town the
1 letter your home market, the greater the
demand ami the 1 letter prices you get for
the product of vonr farm, the more profita
ble becomes your avocation. And just
*n proportion as you increase the profits
in your farn i.ig ojierations, just in that
proportion do you enhunee the value of
your lauds.
The more you contribute to building up
your county town the more you increase
its wealth. And as the rate of taxation
*s based upon the aggregate wealth of
a community, measured by the demands
for revenue, the greater the wealth of a
community, projiortionately less must l>e
its rate of taxation. You will thus jier
ceive that by adding wealth to your
county town, yov directly lighten the
burdens of your own taxation.
To the farmers of Bartow county, who
have been carrying their cotton to Home
or some other outside market for the
sake of a few dollars, which, instead ot
being so much gain is indirectly so much
loss. Wherever you market your cotton
and other farm products, nine times out
often you make your purchases in the
same place, thereby taking from the
actual wealth of the county the profit
the merchant makes who sells you your
goods, and that made by the cotton
merchant who buys your cotton.
cent you divert from your county town,
in that far decreases its wealth and busi
ness capital. So you see that after de
ducting the increased expense in going
to a distant market, even though you do
get % of a cent per pound more for your
eotton, you will come out considerably
the loser.
Asa matter not only of county pride
but of business, we appeal to the farm
ers of Bartow county to make Carters
ville their market. Put your shoulders
to tire wheel and help to make her a
growing, thriving, prosperous town.
It is your duty as citizens, it is to your
interest as men who desire to make profit
able their calling. You will soon realize
and feel the wisdom of your course.
The New York Herald, in speaking of
the Presidential trip, says: No Presi
dent has ever been received with more
cordiality. North and South have alike
striven to do him honor. There have
been no half hearted welcomes, no averted
faces. The cheers in Atlanta were as
sincere as in Minneapolis. It has been
a national, fraternal, American trip;
more than a realization of all that Lin
coln ever dreamed of attaining when,
twenty-five years ago, he set about the
dreary, hopeless business of restoring
the Union. The people have seen the
President and the President has seen the
people. Each may profit by the oppor
tunity. The people have seen an honest,
conscientious public servant doing what
he can to discharge the trust devolved
upon him. The President sees in the
manifest enthusiasm upspringing from
all sections that there are no longer geo
graphical parties in the Union; that the
American people are first and always
American.
A cm, r ation to the United States Su
preme Court for writs of error in the
Chicago Anarchists’ case was made by
General Pryor in behalf of the condemned
prisoners. The points relied upon to
show that the cases involved Federal
questions which would give this Court
jurisdiction were, first, that the Statue
of Illinois, relating to the empanelment
of juries makes it possible to try the
prisoners with a partial and prejudicial
jury, as was, in fact, done in this case,
and that such a statute is obnoxious to
the Federal Constitution; and second,
that the prisoners were compelled to
testify against themselves, and criminate
themselves, and that criminatingevidence
against them was obtained by the police
from their private desks, without search
warrants, in violation of the constitu
tional provision that a man shall not
be deprived of life, etc., without due pro
cess of law.
Thk Philadelphia Inquirer (Hep.) con
tinues to be a model of courtesy and
fairness for its Hepublican associates of
tlie press in its treatment of the Presi
dent. It says of his recent movements:
“The welcome he has received from the
people of the West has been given by
Hepublicans as well as Democrats, and
the President has been most careful in
his several admirable addresses trying
to avoid saying anything in the nature
of partisanship. He is undoubtedly an
aspirant for re-election, but he has done
or said nothing to show it since he left
Washington. He has seduously main
tained the dignity of his office, and never
permitted any one to forget that he is
the Chief Magistrate of his country.
There is no reason for surprise that he
has not been treated with indignity. He
has not deserved to be."
Both the big parties in New York con
cede that the Prohibition vote in that
State will be higher this year than ever
before. It has been steadily increasing
since 1880, in w hich year it amounted to
1,517, reaching 3(5,414 in 188(5. This
year the Hepublicans put it at 45,000
and the Democrats at 50,000. The prob
ability that it will equal the lower figure
makes the contest in that State exciting.
The estimates w hich the two great par
ties make of tin* Labor vote are widely
divergent, the Hepublican eonjectvre be
ing 00,000 and the Democratic (50,000
The difference lietween these two guesses
is the difference between victory and de
feat for one or the other of these organi
zations. The Hepublicans will win if the
former figure is reached, and the Demo
crats w ill triumph if the latter is not ex
ceeded.
Mb. Chamhkhi.ain thinks that the
reciprocity between the United States and
Canada means separation lietw een the Do
minion and Great Britain. The political
ties binding the confederation to England
have been steadily weakening in the past
several years. Canada has long since
discovered that its best interest lies in a
dose commercial union with (hiscountry.
The Atlanta correspondent of the Ma
[ con Telegraph, under date of yesterday;
isays;
“At (he Stale treasury this afternoon
the legislative pay-roll for the Senate and
House, summer session, was eompleted,
and 1 am able also to give the Telegraph
the official figures. They will lie of pecu
liar interest to the public. The House of
Representatives drew out of the treasury
in hard cash the snug sum of 1)3.737.
The Senate took out $-10,*177.70. So the
total <-ost for the summer session of 107
days was $ 124,114.70. At the fall or
winter session the House cost the State
$47,123.5.1. and the Senate $15,185.78,
a total of $02,000,33. The total cost of
the two sessions, therefore, has lieen
$130,424.83. The question is a ]iertinent
on**, and not very difficult to answer —
how much has this remarkable and very
expensive body profited the State of
Georgia?”
Its a powerful good thing to the tax
payers of Georgia that the exposition
opened up when it did. It would have
been better though if it had opened up a
month earlier.
We thought that the real purpose of
the Piedmont exposition was to make a
fair and true exhibit of the natural re
sources of the South, and to ad vert
the same to the world. But the result
seems to indicate that it was to swindle
counties out of their just rights, and to
deceive and mislead the public —as in the
case of awarding the mineral premium
to Floyd county—thus showing that
there was some controlling influ
ence other than that to accord merit its
dues. Why, Floyd county’s committee,
in charge of her exhibit, had the honesty
aud fairness to concede to Bartow the
advantage, not only in actual mineral
resources, but in her display at the expo
sition. Our people are justly indignant,
and loud in their condemnation of the
conduct of the exposition towards them.
Theke is some talk of Robert Garrett,
the ex-president of the Baltimore and
Ohio, being off his base. On starting on
his Western trip from Philadelphia, he
stood on the platform of his coach and
yelled to a policeman in a loud voice:
“The thieves, they stole my telegraph.”
He was much excited and his friends
hurried him into the car, but just before
the train started he called out to his
friends, “I)ont let Jay Gould steal Mary
land before I geet back.” Bob should
sober up or keep his finger out of .lay
Gould’s pudding.
The Senate made a grave mistake in
adjourning without concurring in the Fel
ton resolution, which passed the House
by such a decided majority, authorizing
a commission to re-lease the W. &. A. R.
R. for a term of twenty years, subject to
the present lease, at a minimum rental of
$35,000 per month. Had the resolution
passed, we have no doubt but that a re
lease, upon these terms, could have at
once been made. But we are apprehen
sive that before another Legislature will
convene, combinations will be such as to
make a satisfactory disposition of the
road somewhat difficult.
It is a lamentable fact that Georgia
Legislatures of recent years pay so little
attention to general legislation. Every
member goes there with a hat full of local
measures, and he nurses them with such
assiduity that he loses sight of greater
and more important matters. After sit
ting for 157 days, what general laws of
any considerable value to the State, has
{he last Legislature enacted? Many
measures of vital import to the people
came up for consideration, but were
choked to death by the pressure of local
bills. There ought to be some remedy.
Chattanooga seems to be greatly bene
fited by the late exposition. Several
prospectors have struck the town and it
is thought that the boom will receive a
fresh and rushing impetus. By the way
as Chattanooga is the head aud center of
this mineral belt, and Bartow expects
largely in that way, it would not lie a
bad idea for our people to tie on to that
town. We certainly can expect more
through her gates than any other South
ern point.
Nevek was a woman so universally
toasted and honored than was Mrs.
Cleveland last week while on her South
ern trip. It's all well enough to honor
the first lady of the land, but we see no
occasion for two or three newspaper men
to be splitting hair to find out who was
the lucky one to act the biggest fool
about ber.
Ella Whekleii Wilcox thinks Col.
Ingersoll should give in ore of his splendid
strength to building up ]>edestuls for
truth and less to‘.tumbling down error;
and that if he should givens two words
for morality to one against hell-fire, he
would accomplish more good in this
world.
Floyd county also wins the first pre
mium “for the best exhibts of minerals
and woods." Are there any prizes left for
the outside world?—Home Tribune.
It seems not. . But the outside world
knows where to go to find minerals; and
it would not encroach much upon Floyd's
territory in the search.
We ark. glad to be able to note the re
covery of Senator Linton A. Dean from
his recent severe illness. Notwithstand
ing his inability to be present at the ad
journment of the senate, he left behind
him a record as a cautious, safe and ab’e
legislator.
Mu. Powdehly insiststhat the Knights

Exhibitors Who Wanted to Go
to Macon Unable to
Move.
Curs Promised Days Ago not Forthcoming
—Governors of Tennessee, South
Carolina and Florida Ignored—
Oth. r Cussedness.
Macon Telegraph.)
It has b*ea clear for several days that
the parties in charge of the Piedmont
Fair, in spite of their pledges, have
schemed to prevent the moving of
exhibitors to the State Fair. Every ef
fort has been made for three days to get
Ihe cars and there has been no sufficient
reason advanced why the cars should
not have been furnished, and indeed
PLEDGES VIOLATED.
If the Piedmont management has not
been concerned about it there is only
this to be said, their pledges to exhibitors
have been most flagranty violated. Ex
hibitors are waiting to-night for cars
that were promised three days ago.
Explanations from the proper parties
are in order, although its almost too
late for them to Is* of service.
CHESS It EPICENE N TAT IV ES DISGUSTED.
In this connection it may be proper to
say that visiting representatives of the
press from all over the country have
gone off disgusted at the treatment they
have received, or rather the lack oftreat
ment. Numbers of representatives of the
leading journals of the United States
have been in the city during the exposi
tion, and have written daily articles con
cerning it and the visit of the President
and Mrs Cleveland, and the demonstra
tions in their honor. Some of these
gentlemen have had to pay their way
into the grounds, there has been no quar
ter assigned to the press and they have
had no courtesies extended them what
ever.
FLEECING THE NEWSPAPERS.
Several leading journals, the Philadel
phia Times, the Manufacturers' Record,
of Baltimore, and others have had booths
in their main building, making very,
creditable displays, but they have paid
for the privilege, and have beside, given
to the management #1.50 per day to be
allowed to distribute copies of their
papers to the people. 1 think it may be
fairly stated, and ought to be stated,
that the representatives of the press of
the country have never been so badly
treated, or mistreated and neglected, as
they have been during the Piedmont
Exposition in Atlanta.
OFFICIALS KLUiHTED.
In addition to this there are prominent
officials in the city who have contributed
by their means and position to make the
exposition a success who have been to
tally ignored, and such a conspicuous
manner as to attract public attention.
The following extract from the Atlanta
Journal this afternoon will illustrate
what it meant:
The following appeared in’the official
organ ol the Piedmont exposifion this
morning, fourth page, first column:
“There is much comment in the city on
the fact that Mayor Cooper and Presi
dent Kingsberry, who probably contri
buted as much to the success of the expo
sition as any two men in the city, were
overlooked in the proceedings attending
the President’s visit. We regret exceed
ingly that lack of attention to these and
other good citizens, but the Constitution
is not till responsible. We only under
took to advertise the exposition, for
which we did not get a cent. Some peo
ple, however, made big money on it. - ’
The squib caused more comment than
the alleged slight ever did, and so a
Journal reporter was assigned to get
into the true inwardness of the racket.
President Kingsberry said: .
“I have read the editorial and was
very much surprised to see it in the Con
stitution. 1 have not been slighted, nof
in the least. lam not a man to push
myself into public notice. The only oc
currence that might have been construed
into a slight was this: As president of
the driving club, I escorted Mrs. Cleve
land from the carriage into club house,
and the next morning the Constitution
came out and said that Don Bain did it.
That, however, was made all right. I
don’t know who the Constitution refers
to as having made money out of the
fair. As far as L am concerned, 1 was
one of the directors and worked hard,
and if I had any opportunity of pocket
ing a nickel 1 never saw it.”
Mayor Cooper smiled when the para
graph was shown to him, and said:
“I think the apology is the most un
called for thing 1 ever saw. 1 do not
consider that I have been slighted in the
least. I did not push myself forward,
and did not care to. 1 reckon if I lmd
pitched in like some of the other fellows
I would have been noticed just as they
were. The apology in the Constitution,
is a very useless one, and L don't want
people apologizing to me for something
that never hapiiened. It is time enough
for apologies when a request is made for
them,”
A FAIR FOR THE FEW.

might be said on this same line, showing

For two days there has been considera
ble talk on the streets with reference to
the treatment that Governor Taylor, of
Tennessee, and Governor Richardson, of
South Carolina, received while here at
the hands of the management of the ex
position. It is said that the general de
sire to entertain Cleveland, the governors
of Tennessee and South Carolina were
forgotten
ANOTHER 11ADLV TREATED GOVERNOR.
Governor Ferry, of Florida, it is also
said, got left when the honors were di
vided. When the reception at the eapi
tol was over, a friend found Governor
Ferry wandering aimlessly around, and
taking him in his private conveyance,
drove the distinguished Floridian to the
grounds. The Journal this afternoon re
publishes the following from the Nash
ville Banner;
Governor Taylor and party returned
from Atlanta this morning. A Banner
reporter sa w one of the party and asked
concerning the reception they was given
in Atlanta. The gentleman stated that
the governor and his party were shame
fully ignored, although a special invita
tiop had been extended them to visit
Atlanta. None of the managers of the
Atlanta affair paid Governor Taylor, or
any of his party any attention, or took
pains to recognize their presence in At
lanta. The Capitol Club, which gave the
President a reception, refused ly a stand
ing vote to invite the Tennessee party
An invitation was sent to Governor
Taylor, but lie declined to attend unless
his staff and his Tennessee friends were
invited. Neither Governor Gordon nor
Mr. Grady, who was a conspicuous mana
ger of affairs, paid the slightest atten
tion or courtesy to Gov. Taylor or his
staff'. The governor of,South Carolina
and his staff wer e treated with similaf
neglect and indifference.
()n account ot the unmannerly reception
given to his party, G<>v. Taylor also
declined to attend tlie Governor's re
ception, and his place at the table in
the gubernatorial mansion was unoccu
pied. The whole party of Tennesseans
and South Carolinians were thoroughly
disgusted, and, as the gentlemen expens
ed it, would have shaken the dust of
Atlanta from their l'eet, if there had
been any dust to shake.

While 1 am not a betting man, said F.

and it cost him ten dollars. How’s that?
He sent for me one day and said the doc

The Augusta Gazette says: To buy a
ticket in the New Orleans State Lottery,
or in any other lottery is nothing, move
nor less than gambling. To make public
the fortune of one or several individuals
who win, without making public the
losses of the thousands and tens of thou
sands of individuals who lose, is therefore
to encourage gambling. The Gazette was
yesterday cognizant of the fact of the so
called “luck” of some of the Sibley mills
operatives, but the Gazette refrained from
publishing it. For the five thousand dol
lars received bythese fiveindividuals, five
times five thousand dollars will leave this
city for New Orleans, and probably many
women and children will suffer in conse
quence. Rich men let the lottery alone.
Poor men are those that try their fortune,
and in ninety-nine cases out of every
hundred, they lose and their dependents
suffer. Keep away from the lotteries.
Both financially and morally the lottery
is a losing game, depend upon it.

The treatment of many thousands of cases
of those chronic weaknesses and distressing
ailments peculiar to females, at the Invalids'
Hotel ana Surgical Institute, Buffalo, N. Y.,
has afforded a vast experience in nicely adapt
ing and thoroughly testing remedies for the
cure of woman’s peculiar maladies.
Ir. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the outgrowth, or result, of this great and
valuable experience. Thousands of testimo
nials, received from patients and from physi
cians who have tested it in the more aggra
vated and obstinate cases which had baffled
their skill, prove it to be the most wonderful
remedy ever devised for the relief and cure of
suffering women. It is not recommended as a
“cure-all,” but as a most perfect Specific for
woman’s peculiar ailments.
Asa powerful, invigorating tonic,
it imparts strength to the whole system,
and to the womb and its appendages in
particular. For overworked, “worn-out,”
“ run-down," debilitated teachers, milliners,
dressmakers, seamstresses, “shop-girls,” house
keepers, nursing mothers, and feeble women
generally, Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is the greatest earthly boon, being unequaled
as an appetizing cordial and restorative tonic.
Asa soothing and strengthening
nervine, “Favorite Prescription” is une
qualed and is invaiuab.e in allaying and sub
duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex
haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and
other distressing, nervous symptoms com
monly attendant upon functional and organic
disease of the womb. It induces refreshing
sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de
spondency.
Dr. Pierce’s Favorite Prescription
is a legitimate medicine, carefully
compounded by an experienced and skillful
physician, and adapted to woman's delicate
organization. It is purely vegetable in its
composition and perfectly harmless in its
effects in any condition of the system. For
morning sickness, or nausea, from whatever
cause arising, weak stomach, indigestion, dys
pepsia and kindred Symptoms, its use, in small
doses, will prove very beneficial.
“Favorite Prescription” is a posi
tive cure for the most complicated nnd ob
stinate cases of leueorrhea, excessive flowing,
painful menstruation, unnatural suppressions,
prolapsus, or falling of the womb, weak back,
female weakness,” anteversion. retroversie j,
bearing-down sensations, chronic congestion,
inflammation and ulceration of the womb, in
flammation, pain and tenderness in ovaries,
accompanied with “ internal heat.”
Asa regulator and promoter of func
tional action, ut that critical period of change
from girlhood to womanhood, "Favorite Pre
scription ” is a perfectly sale remedial agent,
and can produce only good results. It is
equally efficacious and valuable in its effects
when taken for those disorders and derange
ments incident to that later and most critical
period, known as “ The Change of Life.”
“ Favorite Prescription,” when taken
in connection with the use of Dr. Pierce’s
Golden Medical Discovery, and small laxative
doses of Dr. Pierce's Purgative Pellets (Little
Liver Pills), cures Liver, Kidney and Bladder
diseases. Their combined use also removes
blood taints, and abolishes cancerous and
scrofulous humors from the system.
“Favorite Prescription” is the only
medicine for women, sold by druggists, under
a positive guarantee, front the manu
facturers, that it will give satisfaction in every
case, or money will be refunded. This guaran
tee has been printed on the bottle-wrapper,
and faithfully carried out for many years.
