City Council.
The city council met in regular month
ly session Tuesday night with Mayor
W'ikh in the chair and the following al
dermen present: Wofford, Collins. A. 4.
Williams, llilbiirn, Griffin. Collins, A.,
and Gllreath.
The regular routine business was trans
acted. Accounts to the amount of #411.-
55 being audited and ordered paid.
The Marshal re|K>rted as collected for
the month: City taxes, #283.52; fines,
#sfi.fio; sealt*s, s<; transient dealers,
#7.50; cemetery, %11; dray license, #3,
Total #3l 7.02.
Mr, J. A. Baker appeared before the
body with a petition praying that he be
given a lease on the vacant lot belonging
to the city, located just above the St.
James Hotel. He wishes to erect there
on a law office and wants to lease the lot
with the privilege of removing the build
ing in rax* tin lot is disposed of. Referred
to Messrs. J. C. Wofford, A. Collins and
A. C. W illiams as a committee with in
structions to investigate and rejiort at
the next meeting of council.
A committee appointed at a former
meeting looking toward the purchase of
the old Johnson school house for a col
ored school building, reported that the
projierty was offend at #BOO. The com
mittee was continued with instructions
to look after suitable projierty for this
purpose.
Pending the discussion of this matter
Judge Collins arose and moved that the
votes of all measures hereafter in the city
council Is* recorded along.with the min
utes.
■’This question <>f buying a school
house came before this body some time
ago and a certain member voted and
made sjjeeches against the measure and
in view of the city election close at hand
he denies it. 1 want the votes, recorded
hereafter so as toq M . referred to in case of
disjnite.”
This brought Mr. Geo. Gilreath to the
front as lie was the member meant by
Judge Collins. He declared that he did
not do anything of the kind but was in
favor of buying the colored folks a school
house, and (%ked the Mayor and the
body to substantiate his declaration.
The Mayor and Alderman Wofford
failed t<> do So, and stated that the im
pression made upon them by Mr. Gilreath
at the former meeting was to the effect
that ld“ (Mr. Gilreath) was ojiposed to
tin* measure and fought it.
This is file school housethatthe colored
folks have been getting, k>. these many
years.
The motion to record till* votes here
after prevailed.
The Mayor ordered that an election be
held for Mayor and Aldermen for the city
of Cartersville for next year on next
Wednesday, the 14th, in room rear of
L. B. Matthews A Co.'s store, and ap
pointed Messrs. ,J. B. Conyers, W. H.
Barron and F. M. Walker as nutnagers of
said election.

Eddy’s Weekly Squib.}
The Hanlon brothers are among the
most remarkable jieople on tire stage.
And not least among the peculiarities
that distinguish them is their great love
and consideration for each other. The
manner in which they conduct their busi
ness seems very funny. There are only
three of them left now. The oldest brother
was killed by a fall from the trajieze.
Another was injured so badly that he
died several months after in an asylum.
Fred died lastyear in Furopeofconsump
tion. Now there is left William, who is
with the “Fantasma” company; Edward
who has “LeYoyage en Suisse,” and
George. William is about fifty-five years
old, George is about forty, and Edward
thirty-eight. George has full control of
the finances of both companies. Every
week a statement of what has been done
is sent him. The money is also sent to
him. At the end of the season the profits
are divided into three parts, and each of
the brothers gets his third. It does not
make any dfferenee if the receipts of one
company far exceed those of the other,
the division is Hie same. They have al
ways followed I lie custom and have never
had a difference in their lives. For the
past three years “Le Voyage en Suisse”
has been in Europe. The piece is now'
touring in this country, with very great
success everywhere.

Prohibition Laws Constitutional.
The Supreme court of the United
States, on last Monday, rendered a very
important decision bearing upon the
prohibition laws of the several States.
The effect of this opinion is to declare
valid the prohibition laws of the state
of Kansas and is, of course, a victory
for the prohibitionists. The court said
that the case came up under the laws of
Kansas declaring the maintenance of a
building for the manufacture or sale of
liquor to be a nuisance, and making the
manufacture or sale of intoxicants a mis
demeanor. It was contended thaf this
law was unconstitutional because it
abridged the rights of citizens, and de
prived a citizen of property without due
process of law, a building used as a
brewery being of little value for any
other purposes.
Justice Harlan said it had been held
repeatedly that the right of state to reg
late the sale of liquor did not invade the
constitutional rights of citizens. It was
contended, however, he said, that no
state legislature had a right to prohibit
any person from manufacturing liquor
for his own use, or for export, for the
reason that it was an invasion of per
sonal liberty inherent to citizens. It
must be observed, however, he said, that
the right to manufacture drink for one's
own use is subject to the restriction that
it shall not injuriously affect the public.
The right to determine what was inju
rious had to exist-somewhere, and the
right of determining what measures are
necessary for the preservation of public
morals, health and safety had therefore
been vested in the states by the constitu
tional right given them under police
power to regulate their own international
concerns. While this police power could
not be abused, and must only be exer
cised for objects of real merit, this court
would certainly not say that the liquor
tralflc was not one which the state could
not lawfully prohibit, because it was well
known that the abuse of intoxicants was
productive of paujierism and crime.
The ggxt ground of contention, the
justice said, was, that as breweries had
been erected prior to the passage of the
prohibition law, and as they were of little
use except for bi-eweries, their property

not to injuriously affect the rights of

right to prohibit the liquor traffic. It
did not, thereby, takeaway the the proji

(raining or Losing a Day.
In sailing round the world eastward
the days are eaeh a little less titan twenty
four hours, according to the speed of the
ship, as the sun is met every morning a
little earlier. These little differences
added together will amount in the course
of the circumnavigation to twenty-four
hours, giving the sailors an extra day,
not in imagination, hut in sober truth, as
they will have actually eaten an extra
day’s food and consumed an extra day’s
grog. On the other hand, in sailing
westward, the sun is overtaken a little
each day, and so each day is rather longer
titan twenty-four hours, and clocks and
watches tire found to be too fast. This
also will amount, in sailing round to the
starting point again, to one whole day, by
which the reckoning lias fallen in arrear.
The eastern ship, then, has gained a day
and the western ship has lost one, leading
to this apparent paradox, that the former
ship has a clear gain of two whole days
oven the latter, supposing them to have
started and returned together.—Cham
bers-’ Journal.
Found at Pompeii.
The excavations that are lteing carried
forward at Pompeii are giving most in
teresting results. In the beginning of the
month a wooden case was dug up, con
taining a complete set of surgical instru
ments, many of which are similar to
those used in the present day. A few’
dajs later four beautiful silver urns of
considerable height were found, together
with four smaller cups, eight open vases,
four dishes ornamented w ith foliage and
the figures of animals, and a beautiful
statue of Jupiter seated on his throne.
Besides these silver objects several gold
ornaments were also found, such as ear
rings and rings. The excavations are be
ing rapidly pushed forward.—Rome Cor.
Loudon News.
KflHiliiiK for Ward Rooms,
j '"Since you are curious to know what
is read in ward rooms,” writes a naval
officer. “I will undertake to give you a
I general statement. Old newspapers, par
| ticularly local papers and cheap novels,
form the bulk of our literature. There
are a few omnivorous readers among us,
and now and then a critical one. I have
a friend who enjoys the whole of Her
bert SjK'ueer, and in my last ship there
were three who appreciated Stevenson,
Meredith and Jane Austen. Perhaps
something of this latter result was dim to
missionary effort.”—W. D. Howells in
Harper’s Magazine.
Tlie .Personal Equation In AVar.
The official records are invaluable and
in themselves compose a large part of tho
history of the war. But- they are far
from justifying the -blind faith with
which they are appealed torfn some quar
ters. Who, from the unassisted reports,
would be able to reconstruct the charac
ter. the eidolon, of *Grant, or McClellan,
or Hooker, or Lee, or Jackson, or Hood!
—and yet , in war, the personal equation
is everything.—-The Centftry.
Side saddles are slowing going out of
fashion in England, and the man fashion
way of rifting is being adopted by many
of the ladies. Side saddles have been is
use since 1388. *
