('ariersvilie’s Dangerous Position.
1
The recent tires in our community
have enlist'd many of our more progrcs
-1 wive and conservative citizens to do a lot
of serious thinking. The proximity of
these fir*s to t lie business port ion of t lie
town, in which are hs-absl the most
substantial and important buildings,
have eatised them to feel alarmed.
Apropos of this question we would present
to our readers a picture that could Is
very easy, and not at all improbable,
duplicated right here in Cartersville.
An associated press dispatch under date
of the 2<)th instant gives the following
account of a wretched start of affairs
that some day, (unless more decisive
action is taken by our people in the mat
ter of tire protection) may exist here:
DispateheH from Orimh.v. Mo., a thriving town
in lie* letwl region of Nmvton county, state that
ii conflagration Wan start**! there yesterday
evening, and that one hundred house* had been
consumed, including all the principal business
pla.es in the town. The drought in that section
has been long and severe, and as the town was
built almost entirely of wood the houses burned
like tinder Assistance was sent from Neosho, a
few miles distant, bint as there was no water
works in Granby and nearly ail the wells and
cisterns were dry, the town was at tiie mercy o*
the flumes, which were fanned by a fierce wind.
Nothing upoarentl.v could be done to stay the
destruction, and at last accounts it was thought
the entire town would be destroyed. Scores of
families were houseless last night and exposed to
the cold weather.
*’ “A fierce wind prevailed” in Grand by
Saturday afternoon and at night. The
same state of affairs existed in Carters
ville at the same time. How many of
our people became uneasy on that night
aud rolled restlessly in their couches,
occasionally going to the door looking
towards the town, to see if till was well?
The wind blew fearfully, and astray cigar
stump dropped into the many leave
filled ditches could easily have produced
a twin picture to that presented by
Granby, Missouri.
A few weeks ago the residence of Mr. N.
Gil math, on East Main street was con
sumed by fire, but luckily the wind was
running in a favorable direction to save
the town. Providence alone saved us
in this instance.
Aside from the fearful risks our people
are taking in not securing Are protection,
the matter of decrease in insurance rates
resulting from such an accomplishment
amounts to a great deal. The saving in
this alone in a very few years would give
us the finest system of water works in
this section. There are a thousand and
one little benefits that would accrue if
we had such ti system and the expense of
securing them would hardly be felt by our
tax-payers and property owners.
The people of Partersville, one and all
owe it to themseTves to see that men are
elected at the coining city election that
will do something for us in the matter of
fire protection. Small issues must be
drowned out to allow the furtherence of
this all-important question.
The 1 reople of our town should be up
and at work and see that no man is
elected that is not in favor of such im
provement. Our risk is too great, our
insurance is too onerous, besides such a
step would only be one in the direction of
material progress.
The Condition of Our Superior Court
Dockets.
There is a very erroneous impression
rest ing upon the minds of some, that our
Superior court dockets are not only
crowded, but the business of the court
drags. Quite to the contrary prevails,
considering the great number of cases 011
the various dockets eight years ago, many
of them long and (implicated, few Supe
rior courts in the State have made better
progress than that of Bartow county.
In looking over the dockets a few days
since, we were much gratified to note the
work that had been done in that time,
and their present status.
in 1881 there were more than fourteen
hundred issues on the dockets to be tried.
To-day, there are not exceeding three
hundred and fifty lemaining, including
every kind of issue. In January 1884,
all cases where there were issues placed
upon one docket, since that time more
than eight hundred and fifty cases have
been finally disposed of, a gain ot
about one hundred uml twenty-fivecases,
each year, over the accumulation of new
business. At the present adjourn term,
something near fifty cases have been tried
and stricken from the dockets for various
causes. Judge Fain has set for trial in
January more than one hundred cases,
consisting of all the old cases now re
maining on the dockets, many of which
will go off on call, thus leaving a little
more than two hundred issues for trial.
This is a splendid showing, and goes to
prove, that instead of Ilartow county
suffering more from courts and litiga
tion than other counties in the State, it
is freer from it, and her citizens less liti
gious, t han perhaps, those of other coun
ties. Within the next twelve or eighteen
months, at the present rate, the dockets
of the court will be entirely up, and in
stead of terms of from five to six weeks,
and an adjourn term or so thcowii in,
the business can be disposed of in from
two to three weeks.
We repeat, this is a very gratifying
state of affairs and speaks much for
Judge Fain's energy and industry in the
dispatch of the court’s business. In con
templating this happy condition of af
fairs, we are not unmindful of the fact,
that the city court, under the capable
and efficient administration of Judge
Neel, has had much to do with bringing
it about. Altogether, the people of bar
tow county have no reason to feel dissat
isfied 'with the present progress of her
courts.
’ B. H. Him. publishes a strong article
in last Monday’s Constitution in defense
of the good results of prohibition in the
various states that have tried it. He
shows very conclusively that it is a great
factor in diminishing crime. He presents
some very interesting figures, that in
themselves present an insurmountable
argument. He says:
Kansas has 1(M>,000 more population
than Texas, yet Texas has 8,000 convicts
and Kansas 9t>G. Vermont has 80,000
more population than Khode Island, yet
Rhode Island has 088 convicts and Ver
mont 227. lowa has 200,000 more
population than Wisconsin, yet Wiscon
sin has 1,120 convicts and lowa 508.
Kansas, Vermont and lowa are prohibi
tion states; Texas, Rhode Island and
Wisconsin are not.

Do not Neglect to Register.
We would remind the voters of <‘ar
tersville.of the importance of registering,
as required under a recent ordinance of
the city council. The books for registra
tion will be closed on Deviiilwr the 3rd,
and those failing to register, will be de
prived of the privilege of voting at the
ensuing election for city officers, which
occurs on the second Wednesday in De
cember. There may Is* some who will
ncgleet to register, simply Itecaiise they
feel no sjierial interest in the selection of
the municipal officials of their town. If
there tie those who, are so indifferent as to
who shall be chosen to administer the
city affairs, we say that the question of
registering extends further than the ap
proaching election. It is probable that
various questions of paramount impor
tance to the material welfare of t'arters
ville will arise within the next twelve
months, upon which the qualified voters
of the town must pass. 111 the event
these questions come up. no good citizen
should permit himself to be placed in tin*
position where he could not, if he desired,
exercise the privilege of voting. \s an
abstract proposition, with no Hpeeial
reason therefor, no true citizen ought to
be so careless as to forfeit his right to
vote even for the shortest time.
Let us urge upon every qualified
voter of the town, not to neglect this
matter of registering. You may feel
no interest in the matter of elections
now, but the time may come when you
will, and then you can't afford to be
placed in a condition where you cannot
evpress yourself.
The Government's* Financial Condi
tion.
Treasurer H.vatt, in his annual report,
makes a magnificent showing for Presi
dent Cleveland’s administration of the
affairs of the government. It can have
no other effect than to inspire confidence
in the minds of the people. The report
shows the revenues for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1887, were $371,408,-
277, and ordinary expenditures $207,-
9.82,179; the surplus receipts available
for the reduction of the public debt being
$108,471,097. As compared With the
previous years, the receipts increased
$34,698,559, expenditures $25,449,041,
and surpulous revenue $9,514,509.
There was an increase in every item of
revenue, the largest being in receipts
from customs. The largest increase in
expenditures was on account of Indians
and pensions, and the largest decrease
on account of interest on the public debt.
Receipts of the postoffice department
amounted to $54,752,347, and expendi
tures to $53,583,835. Revenues, exclu
sive of deficiency appropriations, in
creased $3,500,495, and expenditures
$2,901,240. Amount drawn from thc
treasury to make deficiencies in postal
revenues was $6,889,138 as against
$8,714,522 in 1886. The operations of
the year involved the redemption of
$1 27,911,950 in United States bonds, of
which was on account of
the sinking fund; an issue of nearly
$600,000 drafts and checks; the redemp
tion of upwards of $193,000,000 in
United States paper currency and 11a
tionol bank notes, and the handling of
$192,000,000, in United States bonds,
deposited or withdrawn by the national
banks. A
Statements of the assets and liabilities
of the treasury are given for the close of
the fiscal year, and for September 30th
and October 31st, 1887, in comparison
with thesarne days last year. The largest
increase in any item of assets, during the
year, ended September 30th, was $34,-
705,623 in gold coin and bullion, and the
largest decrease $26,143,181 in silver
dollars and bullion. The largest increase
in liabilities was in the fund for the retire
ment of national bank notes, which ran
up from $65,612,547 to $101,255,787.
The available balance decreased $26,-
132,524, and the total balance, including
fractional silver and minor coin, fell off
$28,236,951. During the year ended
October 31, the gold balance increased,
$41,322,653; silver balance decreased
$21,289,772, and the total assets at the
end of this period, exclusive of certifi
cates and other obligations held as cash,
were $319,190,965, and total liabilities
$262,632,260.
A physician takes time to offer business
men some advice without charge. He
says: “Never carry your business home
with you. Transact it at your store or
office, and leave its cares, perplexities
and trials there. Do not let it influence
you at home, to fret yourself and those
around you. The mind at home should
be drawn away from business cares and
directed in a channel to interest and in
struct and freshen and strengthen and
prepare it for the duties of the morrow.
‘All work and no play makes Jack a dull
boy,' and all business and no recreation
lessens the capacity, power and strength
of the mind to do the necessary thinking
for conducting business successfully.
Lite is too short to give Up all to business
and nothing to pleasure or rest. Too
many people skimp their stomach, theft
head and their heart until they have
made a competency. When they expect
to enjoy the pleasures of life they are
generally too old to enjoy them, or their
greed for money has dried up all the well
springs of their being and they are inca
pable of enjoyment. Devoteyour business
hours to business and your leisure hours
to innocent pleasure and wholesome
amusement and the cultivation of such
things as will make life pleasant.”
The case of the State against Thomas
Woolfolk. charged with the murder of his
father’s family, which was set for trial in
Macon for last Monday, has been con
tinued until the first Monday in Decem
ber, in’order to give the counsel for the
defense further time for preparation.
They desired the presence of several wit
nesses, among them the negro, Jack
Dußose, who was arrested in Canton
some weeks since, and whose statements
furnished such conclusive evidence to the
minds of Woolfolk s lawyers that their
client was innocent of the crime. Dußose
was discharged from the Canton jail a
few weeks ago, and has not yet been'ap
prehended by the anxious attorneys who
place so much stress upon his testimony.

When the .South wsis poliiieally divided
by two great parties. Whig and Demo
crat. the masses looked to the leading
organs of the press at the seat of govern
ment of their respective States for coun
sel and policies, both of principle and or
ganization. Then a column leader, or
even one much longer, in such papers as
tlrose of father Ritchie and Gales and
Seaton at Washington were read as at
tentively and sacredly as the deacon in
the church reads his Sunday morning's
chapter in the Bible, from lieginning to
end, and often with more lasting impres
sion. The South has but one party now,
and long political leaders in the press are
read by few, if any of the masses who do
the voting at the polls. The ever alert
newspaper organs recognized thischange,
and set about to meet it. Then began
immense double and triple sheets, and a
reduction in price so striking as to capti
vate the average subscriber, who jumped
at a chance to get a paper three times as
big for the same money he had lieen ray
ing all his life for the one published at
his county site. He thought he was mak
ing a sharp trade when he stopped taking
his home pajier, which lie always read
from end to end, (and then was hungry
for more) and sent off to some city,
North or South, for a big jiaper to get
something cheap and with more reading
matter than his home paper contained*
Well, he got the big pajier, and is not
happy. He hasn't got time, he says, to
read it, and if he had, the type is so little
it hurts his eyes, and what he does find
to read is not what he understands of
cares for. He don't see in it nnythiwg
about home affairs, and his neighbonf;
and finds himself, when he conies' to the
county town, so ignorant of vv|iat is go
ing on right under his nose, he is ashamed
himself, quits the big weekly away off
yonder, subscribes for liii- county'paper,
which is only fifty cents a year more,
reads it, and his wife and children read it,
and get as mad as a wet hen if anybody
takes it out of the office and reads it be
fore they do, and he swears if God will
only forgive him, lie will never stop his
home paper again while he lives. That is
just the way of it.
A Father’s Protection.
Father, it is as essential for you to
provide a safeguard against that night

The Chattanooga Times says:
“The sentimental notion that so long
as Most and his sort confine themselves
to words they cannot be safely molested,
lest “a bad precedent" in the limitation
of speech be established, is the veriest
nonsense. It is worse; being criminal
only in less degree than the conduct of
the anarchist. When we demand “hands
off” such conspirators against the laws
and the lives and the property of the
people, we abet the conspirators. Do
the newspapers that cry out in favor of
the “let alone" policy ever reflect that
they exercise free speech amenable to the
law? Do they not know that when they
libel a judge or speak contemptuously
of his court they are liable to prosecu
tion? That they cannot even slander
private citizens with impunity? This is
a country of liberty regulated by law;
and the scoundrels who incite the lawless
to riot, bloodshed and arson can be,
under the laws, promptly suppressed,
and they ought to be suppressed with
a heavy hand. The fellow Most is not
even a citizen of the country. He refused
to swear allegiance to our constitution
and laws when he applied for naturaliza
tion and was rejected. He proclaims his
mission to be the* destruction of all law,
human and other; he teaches the ex
citable rabble at his heels that marriage,
is a fraud, and that it is their duty t<k,
break the laws whenever they plefise.
The American people, by a majority of
ninety-nine in every hundred, desire that
such blatant criminals be sent to prison
or hanged. Good citizens will take care
that real freedom is not abridged through
the erection into “precedents” applica
ble to them, of the punishment of crimi
nals of any grade.
Aii Important Element
Of the success of Hood's Sarsaparilla is
the fact that every purchaser receives a
fair equivalent for his money. The fa
miliar headline “100 Doses One Dollar,”
stole by imitators, is origual with and
true only of Hood's Sarsaparilla. This can
easily be proven by any one who desires
to test the matter. For real economy,
buy only Hood’s Sarsaparilla. Sold by

Secretary Lamar as a Journalist.
Philadelphia News.]
It may be that Lamar’s admiration for
newspapers arises from the fact that the
only failure of his life was with newspaper
work. He tells the story iu a very laugh
able way. Shortly after the war closed
Sam Thompson, t he editor of the Oxford
Falcon, went to Lamar and asked him to
furnish a leading editorial for his paper
once a week. Lamar thought the news
paper his sphere and agreed. He had
great ideas of reforming the press; that
the press was a power, and evidently
thought that the Lamar editorial would
turn Mississippi upside down, and that in
its new position it would be nothing else
but true, beautiful and good.
He then commenced to grind out his
editorial by the yard, and he says: “At
first Victor came himself after my manu
script. The second week or so he sent a
boy, and the third or fourth week 1 had
to send my manuscript down by a mes
senger. In the meantime it had been ad
vertised all over the country that the
noted L. (j. (’. Lamar would write edito
rials for the Oxfoid Falcon, and I watched
the exchanges to see them copied. The
papers did not seem to care for my edito
rials they would take up nasty little
squibs, which seemed to me then to be in
significant, written by Victor Thompson,
and pass by my serious thoughts. I con
cluded after a time that I was not fitted
for an editorial writer, and I rather think
that Victor thought so, too.

Ajipointme. t.
Washington Special to Boston Post.]
Don. M. Dickinson, who is to lie the
new Postmaster General, never met the
President until after the election in 1884.
Mr. Dickinson is of the old Dickinson
family of Massachusetts, and is a son of
Asa Dickinson. He was born in Auburn,
N. Y.,and went to Michigan with his par
ents in his early youth. He was educated
there, and graduated in law in 1809. He
practiced with his brother, who, leaving
the State, turned all of the practice over
to him. Since then helms built up a large
practice. His reputation is that of a re
liable business lawyer, and his practice is
said to yield hifli from $40,000 to $50,-
000 per year.. He was a Greeley man,
and in 1870 was chairman of the State
Democratic Committee. In 1884 he was
chosen a member of the National Com
mittee. He was a “Cleveland man” and
worked hard during the Campaign. After
the fight had been won Mr. Dickinson,
with Mr. Lathrop, now Minister to Rus
sia, called on the President-elect at
Buffalo. A friendship sprung up between
the two men at once and has grown closer
since Mr. Dickinson, though termed a
“boss” by some of his less fortunate op
ponents does not appear to deserve that
title' He is rather a keen, active business
man, who become something of a leader
through inspiring confidence. At first
sight he might be taken for an Episcopal
rector, but a second glance discovers
signs of sharper contact with the world.
His face is sharp, but not lacking in flesh.
His eyes are keen, giving him the appear
ance of being always on the alert, and
when he smiles, his thin lips uncover a
of teeth. The first thing noticed
about his smile is the amount of ivory in
it. He is rather tall and not conspicu
ously slim, and his suit of black is scru
pulously neat. He is quick in his move
ments and affable in his manners. Short
ly after Mr. Cleveland was inaugurated
the Democrats of the Michigan delega
tion held a meeting and divided the Fed
eral offices in the State among them
selves, each taking those in his district,
those in the Republican districts being
divided among them all. Then they
joined their issues and each candidate got
the unanimous support of the delegation.
This become known to the President, who
did not approve of the method. He sent
tor Dickinson for advice in the matter,
and the mailt was that Dickinson pointed
out such as fie thought good men, and
virtually settled the fate of each candi
date, the President having confidence in
his judgment. This made some of those
who were disappointed look upon him as
a “boss.”

The Next Congress.
St. Louis Republican.]
The clerk of the House, (Jen. John 11.
Chirk, has just obtained from the printer
an official list of the roster of the new
House of Representatives as revised by
the people at the recent elections. There
were several vacancies which ha 1 to be
tilled, but there were no changes that
affected the numerical strength of either
of the great political parties. As the
count stands now there are 168 Demo
crats, 15ft Republicans and four nonde
scripts, who, for lack of a better term,
are classed in theclerk'slistas “Independ
ents.” The four Independents are really
Labor Democrats, being Anderson, of
lowa, Smith, of Wisconsin, Hopkins, of
Virginia, and Nichol, of North Carolina.
Of these it is generally understood that
Anderson, at least, will go into the Dem
ocratic caucus and the present probabili
ties are upon the vote of the officers of
the House all of the so-called Independ
ents will vote for the regular Democra tic
nominees. As it stands, the Democrats
have a certain plurality of fifteen, and if
the Independents act as Democrats there
will be a maximum Democratic majority
of nineteen. Inasmuch as the Independ
ents have everything to gain by acting
with the Democrats and nothing can
benefit them by doing otherwise, the
chances are that upon most political
questions they will follow the course
which Gen. Weaver of lowa, has pursued
in the last two Congresses, and be just
about as good Democrats as any of those
regularly elected as such.

The Oft Told Story
Of the peculiar medicinal merits of Hood’s

Hood’s Sarsaparilla
is the most popular and successful medicine
before the public today for purifying the
blood, giving strength, creating an appetite.
“I suffered from wakefulness and low
spirits, and also had eczema on the back of
my head and neck, which was very annoying.
1 took one bottle of Hood's Sarsaparilla, and
I have received so much benefit that I ani
very grateful, ami 1 am always glad to sjteak
a good word for this medicine.” Mas. J. S.
Snydek, Pottsviile, Penn.
