—
pudeß of the most aesthetic type
lire infesting Washington society
about now.
Gen. Butler says ne is out of poli
tic* for good. Of course he means for
the country’s good.
Ex-Senator Mc.Ponald continues
to feel the public pulse, as it is repie
sented in Washington.
It is rumored that Senator Brown
will not be a eauidate for re-election
to the United States Senate.
Saratoga is asking the priviligo of
feeding the national democratic con
vention from the luxuries of her aris
tocratic board.
The cut in the Constitution for last
Saturday morning gives a pretty good
idea of how our new capitol building
will look when completed. It will be
a magnificent structure.
It would be a glorious thing for
Georgia if our legislature would make
it a crime for any one to buy, sell or
own any deadly weapon that can be
concealed on the person.
Are the presidential conventions to
be discussed and held, regardless oi)our
uncle David Davis’ claims? This is
not right, our uncle David is large
enough to have a boom, il nothing
more, and his friends should see to it
that he gets one.
Is slimy John Sherman happy?
Ilis investigating committees are at
work, doing their best to gather up
enough gore to make a pretty little
red shirt to be waved during the next
presidental campaign. We suppose
he is very jubilant.
Complaint is being made of the in
adequacy of the postal service on the
Western and Atlantic railroad. No
doubt there is cause for this complaint.
The W. and A. railroad is one of the
busiest thoroughfares in the south, and
its postal service should be increased
without delay.
If the voters of the fifth congression
al district refuse to return Col. N. J*
Hammond to Congress, it will be a
great mistake. We have two men in
Congress from Georgia —-Hammond
and Turner, To displace either ot
them would be almost as bad as elect
ing an independent.
A Philadelphia judge has refused
to grTPfffV woman licence to practice
law. He claims that tlio uniform rule
of the courts o' Pensylvania were
against it, and would not take the re
sponsibility by introducing the inno
vation. This judge is evidently not
a woman’s rights advocate.
An old prohibitionist has despaired
of the temperence movement ever pre
vailing in Washington City, so long
as Congressmen live there six months
during the year. He says they can
live in Alexandria or Baltimore and
come over every day to attend to their
duties-a thing they would be forced
to ilo if they could not get their cock
tails mixed at the capital.
Wendell Phillips,the great abolition
ist ot New England, is dead. Before
his death he came to despise the re
publican party and its leaders with all
the bitterness ol his acrimonious na
ture. He was the author of the expres
sion “a covenant with hell and a
league with death.” He was the
most energetic of all those who sow
ed the seed of the revolution that
fructified in so bitter a harvest of woe
tor the south.
Longstreet’s official career may not
be an enviable one, but he is certain
ly very much superior, as regards hon
esty and manliness, to our brilliant,
independent friend, Emory Speer.
Longstreet has shown himself a cour
ageous patriot on tlio battle-field—
Emory’s career has been ono abomi
nable mass of crookedness and deceit.
On the one hand we have au honest
patriot,'on the other a traitorous ren
egade.
Senator Logan is wa'xing his raven
moustache, preparatory to making a
triumphant attack upon the Chicago
convention. A thing his very ardent
friends enthusiastically claim that he
can do, -"-unless some unforeseen
obstacle stems tire current that, they
say, is sweeping in that direction.
We i, we trust that the unforeseen
obstacle may present itself; for if the
republicans must have the presidency
again, give us anybody but Johnny 1
Logan or John Sherman.
Capt. Harry Jackson is making a
very thorough canvass of the fifth dis
trict, and if we are to judge from the
newspaper reports, lie is meeting with
much encouragement. Hon. N, J.
Hammond, the present representative
of the fifth, has served her people for
the last four years faithfully and .with
inuch ability, and we do not know
why a change should be necessary,
butHf a change must made. Capt
Jackson v/ild be the man we eheuld
suggest /or the place. lie will do
honor/heiever put.
\ / BARTOW COUNTY. [y
\7here are hundreds of men in this
county who are sublimely ignorant
of the fact that nature has blessed us
with resources various, illimitable
and prodigal. Our interests are al
most entirely agricultural. Asa gen
eral thing our people value their
lands according to their productive
capacity; fertility of soil is the first
and last requisite for rendering land
ed possessions in our county really
valuable. Tnis is natural enough,
for we have as fine farm lands as can
be found in this or auy other state.
On the Etowah river, which flows
through the whole length of the
county, and on Euharlee, Raccoon
arid Pumpkinvine creeks, (each one
of these creeks is a small river), the
rich, black, fertile soil is from one
foot to six feet in depth. Besides
these streams, there are nearly a
dozen smaller ones, along the banks
of which lie as level and productive
bodies of land as can be found any
where. Our lands off the water cours
es produce in rich profusion cotton,
grasses, and oats. There is no doubt
but that Bartow equals, if she does
uot surpass, any other county in the
state as to productive farming lands.
Most of our people know already
these facts in regard to the fertility of
our soil. But how few r know, or
even imagine, that our timber is
very valuable—in fact rivals that of
any land—that there lies beneath our
fertile soil prolific mineral beds; that
our water powers, taking into con
sideration our other advantages, are
equal to those of any other state in
the union, or, perhaps, those of any
other clime beneath the sun!
Mr, D. M. Hawkins, of Ashland,
N. H., has been in Cartersville about
two weeks. This gentleman came
south at the solicitation of Col. J. J.
Howard, one of our most highly es
teemed citizens. Mr. Hawkins came
into our midst with a view of remov
ing hither his family and interests.
In an interview he expressed to us
his surprise at the wonderful natural
resources that we possess. He said :
“My business is to supply the New
England cotton mills with wood
work. I dispose of all that I can get
ready to New T England customers.
Col. Howard kindly invited me to
come south on a prospective tour.
He thought, and I now think, that I
could do better here than in New
Hampshire. Of course, were I to
move to Georgia, I would retain the
patronage of the New England cot
ton mills—l would continue to sup
ply them with their necessary /ftood- 1
work. I am highlj gratified at what
I have seen here. I have, during
my life, traveled pretty extensively,
having I een in eighteen different
states, but I have never seen, in all
my travels, a superior country to
Bartow county, Georgia. Why, sir,
the water power here on the Etowah
river, is superior to anything I have
ever seen in my life outside of New
England, and it is fully equal, if not
superior, to any that I have ever seen
in New England, I like your coun
try very much, indeed; I like your
people; and, were Ia young man
just beginning life, I would not hesi
tate an instant, I would immediate
come to Georgia. But my children
are all grown, and my interests are
extensive, and 1 shall have to consid
er the inclinations of others before I
take so important a step. I am an
earnest advocate of prohibition.
Could I tell my people, ou my return
home, that there was no whisky sold
in Bartow county, I am confident
that many monied men—men of
brain, muscle and energy—would
come here to live. Remove this
blighting bane from your midst, and
you will tempt hither good and true
men who will lend all of their power
and influence to the development of
your wonderfully favored county.”
Mr. Hawkins is a genial, practical,
intelligent gentleman. He would be
a valuable accession to any commu
nity anywhere. We hope he will
conclude to become a citizen of Bar
tow. With a dozen men of his stamp
in our midst we would soou be utili
zing some of the wonderful water
power that ho referred to above.
We say wonderful water power,
and we mean it. From a point on
the Etowah river four miles above,
to the shoals which are about two*
miles above the W. A A. railroad
bridge, there is a fall of seventy feet.
Think of it—a seventy feet fall in
four miles! This has been calculated
to equal between eleven and twelve
thousand horse-power. Pumpkin
vine creek also has a wonderfully
rapid fali.and Raccoon creek as well.
Euharlee creek, though not quite so
rapid in its fall as the above two,
qould be made to (uin the spindles of
inammoth factories and whirl t)he
itones of extensive grain miils.Xj
BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT,
The immense business which is
now upon the various dockets of
Bartow superior court, together with
tho rapidity with Which it continual
ly outflu fating, is a matter which
deserves deliberate and dispassionate
reflection on the part of our people.
It is exceedingly important to those
who are interested as parlies to the
litigation, that their cases should be
tried and their legal rights deter
j mined, with less delay than has
been the Custom with cases sued in
this co/t within the last ten years.
The r/ason for this are numerous and
objlou3. In the first place, when
l/sons have rights it i3 necessary to
protection of those rights that
they should be speedily desiginated
and set apart to be invested in such
a way as the party’s better Judg
ment indicates is best for his or her
pecuniary good- It is all important
that these matters should be speedily
settled in order that the expenses
and the vexation incident to pro
tracted litigation may be avoided.
It is also Important that the busi
ne*s of the court should be disposed
of as quickly as possible, in order
that trie expense to the county,which
results from holding the court, may
be saved. These propositions, being
self evident,need no arguments to es
tablish this truth. The necessity for
a more speedy transaction of the
business being established, we pro
pose to give some reasons why the
the transaction of the business under
our present system i3 retarded,as well
as to suggest a means by which it can
be accelerated. The time at which
our court is held under the present
arangement, is by far the least favor
able for the transaction of business of
any season of the year. In Jan.,
and Feby., the the weather is so in
tensely cold and disagreeable that it
isalmost Impossible for the judge
and jurors to transact business at ali,
to say nothing of working with an
eye to the dispatch of business. In
July and August the weather is so
intensely hot and disagreeable that it
is equally as difficult to manipulate
the machinery of the court, with an
eye to dispatching the business, as it
is in January and February. The
result is that the regular sessions of
court are gone through with attended
with great dis-comfort to those who
are charged with the management
of the business; and, with little done,
as it is simply impossible to do more
at these unfavorable seasons of the
year. At the end of the session the
dockets are left crowded with cases of
long standing, and an adjourned
term is appointed. At theadjourned
term nearly all of the first week is
taken up in organizing the court and
getting the machinery in working
order. The adjourned term is of
short duration, and the result is, the
dockets are left in little better con
dition at its close than they were
when it began. In addition to all
this, the time at the regular sessions
is largely taken up in the discussion
of matters which are to be passed to
the adjourned terms, which other
wise might be appropriately devoted
to disposing of the cases on the
various dockets.
Now the remedy for all this is to
Llsave our regular session of the court
put to the heel of the entire circuit.
Let the court convene In March and
September, after all the other courts
in tho circuit have been held, and
then let the time which is usually
put in holding adjourned terms,
follow immediately on the heel of
tho regular terra. Then the weather
is pleasant, all the time can be profit
ably utilized, and the business of the
court much more rapidlydisposed of,
than under the present arangement.
Then, too.the time lost in the discus
sion of passing matter to theadjourned
term, would be saved, as well as the
time lost in organizing and starting
the machinery of the court at the
adjourned terms. But our planting
friends will say this plan wonld in
terfere with the farming interest of
the county. In this we think the
farmer is mistaken. Under our sys
tem of letting cases the presence of
no one is required at the court except
the parties and witnesses interested
in the case on trial, aside from the
jurors. The jurors required to run
the business of court in a populous
county like Bartow, takes off a very
small portion of our farming popula
tion. And then the benefits to re
sult from this system indicated,
would far more than compensate for
the loss of time to the farmers.
Bartow is one of the most important
counties in the state, and it behooves
her citizens to look well to her ma
terial advancement; and to this end
devise a means for the more speedy
tronsaction of the husiness of her
courts. We commend thesematters to
our people.
THENEW CAPITOL BUILDING.
The capitol commissioners have
taken the first important step in the
discharge of the duties imposed upon
them by the legislature. They have
made choice of a design lor the new
capitol.
In making the selection the com
missioners had the assistance and ad
vice of George B. Post, the New
York architect, whom they had en
gaged to come to Atlanta and give
them the benefit of. his technical
knowledge and experience in archi
tecture. We think they acted wise
ly in summoning Mr. Post or some
well-known expert to their aid.
Very few persons are capable of pre
paring a design for the most ordina
ry edifice, and fewer still can pre
pare a design for a capitol building,
with the necessary specifications, es
timates, etc. Indeed it is rarely the
case tbat a man erects a dwelling
house for his own occupancy, that he
does not find cause for disappoint
ment in some of its details after he
has taken possession of it.
We would be glad to see the new
I capitol built entirely of Georgia rna
terial, provided as good and as cheap
material can be had here as else
where. Such, we believe, is the spir
it and letter of the act creating the
commission. The law, as we recall
it, allows them no discretion in this
respect, and we are sorry it does not,
for we should be willing to pay
something additional in order to
have all the materials furnished here
at home. A cnpitol constructed en
tirely of Georgia granite, marble,
iron, wood, slate, etc., and furnished
out of the same materials, would be
a just object of pride to the people.
The demand for home materials
would thereby be stimulated, and
the development of the state promo
ted and encouraged.
But we think the commission did
well in following the law, especially
in adopting a design which can be
carried out with the sum voted by
the legislature. With the law the
commission can have no rightful con
cern; their sole duty is to execute it
as they find it. And we trust there
will be nouttempt made to enlarge
the appropriation, or to allow greater
latitude iu the choice of materials,
since any successful attempt of the
kind w T ould open the door to jobbery
and other disreputable practices.
Georgians are not to blame if they
have not as good materials as other
sections, but it will be their own
fault if, having suitable materials for
their new capitol, they do not fur
nish them as cheaply as others.
Therefore, let the act of the legis
laturestand, and let the commission
ers proceed. —Telegraph & Messenger.
“REMORSELESS DROWN”
We confess that we have watched
with alarm, not to say consternation,
the liberties taken with the English
language by the enterprising corres
pondent of the Augusta Chronicle.
Under several bold exploits of his in
this direction our apprehensions have
been for some time, to qnote from
his boundless vocabulary,in a state of
“agitated activity”; for however in
teresting it may be to witness occa
sionally a hurricane of words and a
tempest of metaphor, to men who
have at all times to venture into the
storm, the situation is full of peril.
In a late issue of our cheery con
temporary, we find the Atlanta cor
respondent declaring that “we had a
short young deluge last night. I can
not recall a more savage fall of rain
in a short time.” What is a short
young deluge? And why in the
world does the gentleman want to
recall it in a short time? Or why
his evident regret? These are ques
tions vve can cnly propose. “The
very floods decended,” continues
the correspondent. “Great swashes
of water dropped In solid torrents,
bringing down an overwhelming
flavor of remorseless drown with
them.” Great Scott! “Solid tor
rents?” Think of “solid torrents” of
water lying about town! And think
of tho flavor of a“remorseles< drown!”
Only the flavor, mind you: no man
can actually drown in solid torrent.
But would drowning be disagreeable
after having been struck by a precip
itated “solid torrents?” Could even
sniff the flavor of a remorseless drown.
Where were the police; and why did
not the health officers cart off the
solid torrents, and stop the flavor of
remorseless drown with tho fl avor of
manilla, or winter green?
But the correspondent continues:
“The very gates above seemed ajar,
and cataracts came through in crush
ing column.” Did the cataracts
come through the jar? Or is the gifted
pen brandisher troubled with cata
ract in the eye? What sort of a jar
was it? Stone jar, glass jar, pickle or
family jar? Maybe it was the talent
ed sprinklin g pot of J Pluvius that
the gentleman saw, and uot a jar
alter all.
The excited scribe proceeds: “The
foundations of the houses trembled
under the massive liquid sheets.”
Where did the liquid come from? Is
a “liquid sheet” the same as a “solid
torreut?” And why should the foun
dation of tho houses tremble? Are
the foundations afraid of sheets? We
do not know. We are too much
confused to workout problems. Only
a picture rises before us, black night
torn by electric fire; air full of
chunks of solid torrents; liquid sheets
flying off the clothes lines and
frightening the life out of house
foundations; heroic correspondent
clinging to lamppost watching na
ture’s convulsive writhings, sick
with apprehension and the flavor of
remorseless drown. Great swash!
Great Gosh! in fact, Great Gush! “Oh
Mueheb He! lee!”— Telegraph and
Messenger.
BLAINE’S PROGRAMME,
Whether Blaine will be a presi
dential candidate or not is the occa
sion of a good deal of gossip. There is
an impression that he does not intend
to be a candidate,but that he proposes
to dictate the nomination. His am
bition, it is said, is to be the boss of
the next administration, provided, oi
course, that it is republican, lie
wants to ba the power behind the
throne, as he was in the Garfield ad
ministration, If this is the pro
gramme, lie may comejn.oarer’carry
ing it out than If he should attempt
to secure the nomination himself.
Had Garfield lived it is probable that
Blaine would have been recognized
as the controling spirit of the admin
istration. Garfield was intellectually
Blaine’s equal, if not his superior,
but he lacked Blaine’s courage. If
Blain® is able to name the candidate
of his party, and his party .is success
ful,he will shape the administration,
doubtless, and will exercise almssfc
as much power as if lie were president
The prospect that he will be able to
dictate the convention’s choice is
good. He has a large following in
every state, end it is pretty
certain that a strong minority
of the delegates will be his friends. It
is asserted that he is quietly working
to have as many of his friends in the
convention a possible. The position
of boss of the administration is al
most as attractive as the position of
president. To a man like Blaine
who likes to exercise power, it must
be very inviting. If he pursues tlio
plan outlined and succeeds he will
enjoy the credit of directing the ad
ministration without having to boar
its burdens and responsibilities.— &n\

Gradually Sunnlanted by a Better
Article Certain Old Things are Done
Away.
In the general reception room of the Western
Union 'Telegraph building on Broadway, New
York, are exhibited the coarse, crude and
clumsy instrument of the infancy of the tele
graph. They are only relics now. More per
fect machinery has superseded them.
Years ago what ii now styled the old
fashioned porous placers did some good ser
verce. There was then nothing .better ot the
kind. Now all that is changed. Science and
study have gone deeper into the secret of
medicine and produced BENSON’S CAP'INF
POROUS PLASTER, which embodies ali the
excellencies thus far possible in an external
remedy. The old plasters were slow—the
Capeine is rapid; they were uncertain—the
Capcine is sure, cheaper articles uear similar
names. Be coreful, therefore, that some thrifty
druggist does not deceive you. In the center
of the genuine is cut the word CAPCINE.
