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 of Labor do not propose to enter politics as an organization, or nucleus for a new party, but he thinks that there will be two national labor tickets in the field next year for the purpose ot “making a show of strength.” lx a noth eh column will be found the act in full, which was introduce!] by Maj. A. M. Foute, and passed by the legisla ture, establishing a system of registra tion for Bartow county. Now that President Cleveland has re turned to Washington from his great Southern tour, he will have an opportu nity to give his arms and hands a rest. To HAVE been snubbed at, Atlanta is now the popular craze. —Home Tribune. Quite anew name for downright un civility and pure cussedness. The award of the mineral premium to Floyd county by the Exposition Commit tee, will in nowise deceive the public. They know w here it rightfully belongs. Mahone and his Republican allies in Virginia are falling out among them selves, thus insuring the State to the Democrats.

PIEDMONT PICAYUNISHNESS. | 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.

NO US IG N ORE D. 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. • A Novel Bet.

This was three months ago; you see how lie looks now, dou’t you, as well as tiny one, and a dandy.—American, Toledo, Ohio. oct 13-1 m 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. Your County Paper. Tuskegee Mail.] Take it. Do not be without it.
