The Cartersville American.
TUESDAY MARCH, 4, 1884.
Winter is bidding us a frigid adieu
The American navy is a small thing
to be creating so much disturbance in
congress.
Senator Colquitt has been selected
to represent Georgia on the demo
cratic campaign committee.
The Texas papers are somewhat
sympathetic with Tom Ochiltree in
his little unpleasantness with Prince
Bismarck of Germany.
Hon. William H Hun', our minis
ter to St. Petersburg, died on tee 27t1
ult. Mr, Hurt bei nued t the well
known Hunt family of New Orlea s
and was a man ot tine ability.
The average Congressman is begin
ning to make efforts to connect his
present term with the next, and would
no doubt, be glad to spend a f ew days
among his constituents in order that
he might feel their pulse.
General Butler, like Roscoe Cook
ling, is devoting himself actively to
his law practice, and means to leave
politics alone. He will soon be in a
commanding position at the bar, a?
several railroad companies have offer
ed him retainers, and he is at present
considering them.
Henry B. Payne, the new senator
from Ohio, is looming up about now>
as the most prominent presidential
candidate ou the democratic side. It
the democrats should nominate Payne,
and the republicans Sheiman f there
would be a lively wrestle in the Buck
eye state.
In Nw York city, accordlrg to
some figures recently published, there
are more than 800 rag ami
the pickers, who are mostly I alians,
gather $750,000 worth yearly in th*‘
streets and roads, while the money
realized tor cotton rags alo- e in the
United States is put at $22,000,000
per annum.
The longer Washington has been
dead the more astonishing his record
for veracity becomes, and the more
serious the great question. Could he
have achieved such a record had he
lived in this age of resplendant, lying,
instead of at a time when mendacity
was a comparatively unknown and mr
developed art.
Hon. Allen G. Thurman and Hop.
James G. Blaine are booked for .id
dresses before the southern immigra"
tion association which meets in Nash
ville, Tenn., on the 11th instant. This
will be quite a treat for the people of
besides the pleasure of
seeing together two of the most
prominent pieces of presidential tim
ber, as well as about the best the two
parties affords.
It ha? been suggested that there
should be a southern Castle Garden
at either Chaileston, Savannah or
New Orleans, that is, a place 1 ike
Castle Garden, New Yoik, where im
migrants from Europe can be landed
and temporarily icco um and ited until
they can make arrangements for set
tlement or employment. We hearti
ly approve of the move. Such an in
stitution would be ot incalculab'e ben
efit to the south.
The roads are getting to be a mat
ter of serious consider ition in nearly
all the counties ol the state- And
it is r ; ght that they should be, tor
there is nothing ©f a public nature,
that is of more interest ©r value to the
farmers than good roads over which
he must travel in going to church or
market. We are glad to see the bet
ter class ot ow farmers advocating a
different and better system of road
laws.
“Mercy help us!” exclaimed a Flor
ida strawberry
edmau.” “How can that be?” asked
a friend. “Your crop was magnificent
and it has all arrived safely in the
northern market.” “You know how
careful I was to have tne bottoms of
my boxes placed close to the top?”
“Yes.” “And that just as the crop
was ready to ship my old foreman
got tight and I had to hire anew one?’ ?
' ‘‘Yes.” “Well that new man has gone
and filled the boxes wrong side up ’’
The great exposition at New Or
leans, which begins next December,
if properly appreciated, wil. be of
more value to the south than anv sim
ilar institution of the kind ever held
in the country. The fact that many
capitalists from all parts of the coun
try, as well as from Europe, will be
there seeking the section of the South
that offers the best inducement* for
the investment Ot tht-ir money, will
make it just the place for thn south to
advertise to the world her superior
and grand resources. B trtow county?
when we consider her climate,the fer
tility of her soil,varied and almost inex
haustible mineral resources, her tim
ber and her great water power, is by
nature the rich* st spot in all that south,
and w’e bilieve we might say, without
exaggeration, combining all her unde
veloped wealth in the world, standing
ready to unbosom to enterprise arid
increased wealth and happi
ness. Let our citizens b~gin at once
to see that her resources are fully rep
resented at the exposition. Every
man who owns ten acres of land ad
a mule should feel and take an interest
in this, for every time the county
makes a step towards progress and
wealth it not on y lessens his taxes,
but enhances the value of his proper
ty.
THE TEMPERANCE QUESTION.
Fmm present indications the ques
tion ot whi ky or no whisky will he
• n issue before the people of Barton
(•I'unty at the coming full elections.
Toe temperance adv< cates were dis
appointed last year, but t hey do not
propose to rest quietly over their
temporary defeat, and maue no fu
ture efforts in the direction cf prohi
bition. We do not know what shape
this question will assume, but it is
sure to be presented in some form or
other, and ihe men who propose to
take an active part in the campaign
had as well make up their minds to
meet it squarely, either for or against
prohibition. We do not think it
best to agitate this question aelivil
this early in the year, but it is well
for all thinking men to nave it under
Careful and earnest consideration.
A question of more vital interest to
the whole people will rarely be pre
sented,.and we want every man in
Bartow county to consider it and be
prepared to act on it intelligently
when the time comes to vote. We
are in favor of submitting it to the
people and let them say at the ballot
box whether or not they want whis
ky sold in this county. Certainly no
fair minded man can object to this
method, as it is the people who have
a right to contn 1 in all questions
where their interests are affcc f ed.
We honestly believe that a largt ma
jority of the tax payers of Bartow
county are in favor of prohibition.
We have studied this question, and
talked about it with men in all sec
tions of the county, and we are quilt*
sure that if it were left to a vote of
the men who pay the taxes in Bar
tow county, prohibition would n—
ceive two votes where whisky would
receive one. We are not prepared
to say how the negroes would vote
on this question,but we believe many
of them would vote for prohibition.
It will not do, however, to conclude
that the prohibition side would have
an easy walk over. The whisky
men will make a determined fi ht,
and with the influences they vi ll
have to back them, the issue might
become a doubtful one, but it every
man in Bartow county is left to vote
as he pleases, and a full vote is poll
ed, we feel well assured that the ma
jority against whisky would not be
1 *-s than five hundred, and we be
lieve it would reach a thousand.
In as-unriing control of the Amer
ican some months ago, we took a
start on the side of temperance, and
there we expect to stay. We do not
expect to be uoreasonable or fanatic
al in our advocacy of temperance,
but wherever and whenever we feel
ihat the cause demands our aid we
shall lend a willing hand to the
woik, and battle for what we con
ceive fo 06 right with all the energy
of our nature.
We have no fight, to make on the
men who sell the whisky. As long
as the law gives them license to sell,
they should be protected in their
ngh’s, but the law should be chang
ed. It may work a hardship on a
few who have their money invested
in whisky. But a vast number will
be benefited by it, and the purpose
of all law is to do the greatest work
to the greatest number of people.
At any rate the people of the coun
ty should have the right to say
whether or not whisky shall be sold
here, and we are heartily in favor of
giving them an opportunity to vote
on the question, arid wlv n the issue
is made we will be found fighting on
the side of temperance.
OUR SUPERIOR COURT.
In an issue of some weeks ago we
took occasion to say something in re
lation to Bartow superior court. lif
that issue we assigned reasons why
the transaction of the business was
retarded, as well as to present ideas
as to how it might be accelerated.
In last week’s issue we again re
ferred to the same subject, and some
of Judge Fain’s friends, who, by the
Weiy, are numerous in our county,
thought our paragraph ca-d unmeri
ted reflection upon the judge. We
certainly intended no r fiction upon
the judge, and, that v\e may not he
misunderstood in the matter, we say
now that Judge Fain is a gentleman
fr whom we entertain the kindest
regard. Since he has been upon the
bench he has striven very hard to
diposeof the bu-iness rapidly. To
this end, we venture the assertion,
that Judge Fain has actually worked
harder, and with more patience and
perseverance, than any judge who
is upon the superior court bench in
tho state. Bui with the present sys
tem of running the court it is impo*-
sihle for Judge Fain, or any other
man, to clear the various dockets of
the court. When Judge Fain went
upon the the dockets were im
mensely crowded, anu the business
has been, and is, continually increas
ing. And it is ju-t morally impossi
ble for any judge, it matters not who
he is, to clear the dockets and keep
them e’ear under the present ar
rangement of holding the court. If
is the metnod .of holding the c >urt,
and not a want of capacity and fidel
ity on the part of Judge Fain, to
which we alluded in past issues.
Let the people petition the legisla
ture to have the law changed, so as
to put the holding of Bartow supe
rior court to the heel of the entire
circuit, as suggested in our issue o'
some weeks ago. When this is done,
tor the reasons urged in that issue,
the judge, by his indomitable energy
and perseverance, will be enabled to
transact the business of thecourt rap
idly; and, in a short time, the great
uir of business which now cumber.-
our dockets, will disappear, greatly
to the Wi al of our people.
THE DANVILLE INVESTIGATION.
The Danville, Va., investigation
farce drags its si w length along.
Nothing but gab and gibberish was
elicited favorable to the Sherman
bloody shirt side. The proof on the
respectable side is worthy of atten
tion alone as coming from citizens of
good character and standing, and
this, in substance, goes to prove sim
ply wnat the Journal has already in
timated, that the riot was precipita
ted by a fracas between a white man
and a negro, and had nothing what
ever to do with polities or ballot box
intimidation on the part of the white
citizens. But owing to the intolera
hie insolence and rowdy behavior of
a swarm of loafing and worthless
negroes, such as the residents of the
most of our southern towns are fa
miliar with, a dangerous feeling, the
growth of years of bad government
and irritation, found vent about this
time, and even the most patient and
conservative of the citizens of Dan
ville felt that patience had eeased to
be a virtue and proceeded to protect
themselves against organized and in
tolerable negro insolence. Any re
spectable community at the north,
similarly affected and harried by a
class of lawless and vicious semi-civ
ilized savages, would do the same
thing under similar aggravating cir
cumstances.
That such a condition of things as
diisi- pos-ihle is deplorable. The
pistol and the club are altogether too
prominent in this country for the
good of society. We deprecate their
use because it is barbarous, and un
necessary in a civiliz and country. Bu
the best way to cure an evil is to re
move the primary cause. Between
the attempt to “put the bottom rail
on top,” to use a well understood fig
ure, and the corrupting influences of
Mahoneisrn, this cause grew at Dan
ville, as it did in other places, into
an Upas tr< e, under whose blighting
shadow our c >untry has suffered in
numerable woes, and whose bitter
fruits are apnarent in j ust such mis
ery-making occurrences as that at
Danville.
But toe attempt on the part of mis
erable pettifogging politicians to
make party capital out of the affair
is the veriest tomfoolery. It is worse
than tomfoolery, because it endan
gers the public peace and produces
rancor, hate, and all uncharitable
ness. It is therefore criminal It is
well understood that no good motive
prompted the movers -f this so-call
ed outrage investigation. There was
no intention to cure disease or to heal
wounds. On the contrary, the mo
tive that prompted it was the base
desire to promote partisan ends. The
purpose was, and the effect is, the
opening of old wonnds, the resur
rection of the political carcasses of
past campaigns.
This direct anrl indirect tendency
of Sherman on the side of the inves
tigation is distinctly visible to the
eye of the most casu *1 observer of the
published proceedings,"and we are
safe in congratulating the citizens of
Danville, and the sensible people of
the country generally, that this elec
tioneering farce and travestry upon
justice has been suddenly cut short
by the lack of funds, which necessi
tated the adjournment of an unnec
essary and frivolous congressional in
vestigating committee.— At. Jour.
HISTORY OF GEORGIA.
TWO VOLS: BY CHAS. C JONES, JR.
Tl e direction of true criticism is to
consider the work to he reviewed as a
phenomenon; to enter intoitand seek
the reason that gave it form arid be
ing; in find what manner of mind
presented it, and to discuss th causes
that, unite in or surround it. Tins is
eminently proper , since we have n
arbitrary rules to guide us,no modi s
for comparisons, nor even a tacit un
derstanding as to what shall consti
tute merit and demerit.
It cannot be said that a minute his
tory of Georgia is of no value, even
though we find within it naught but
a fleet of battered facts, becalmed up
on a level sea of words. Such a book,
if accurate in its chronology and
truthful in statements, as we Lm lieve
that under discussion io he, is hound
to exist as useful and convenient for
refeience. We hardly think Mr.
Jones’ history of Georgia will ever
attain a higher distinction or more
exalted use. Its eleven hundred
pages bring the reader no further
than the end of the revolutionary
war, and it may be questioned if,
since the birth of the stale was atten
ded with so much of interest as to call
for such. voluminous treatment, tne
record of its youth and imtturity,anu
the Stirling events of its litter days,
can be crowded into a space less than
ten times as great. For Mr. Jones
to have followed Mr. Bancroft’s or
Mr Prescott’s exarnpß was not w ise
when the ti id is limited as that
chosen. One had before him the en
tire country, whose important events
alone are legion; the •th -r, empires
and principalities, whose romantic
fate and barbaric splendor are alike
inspiring to the writer and entrancing
to the reader. We apprehend that
comparatively few people will read
the’‘History of Georgia” as a work
of interest.
The work before us, as we have
said, will seek its level among the
books of reference. We know of ro
person in Georgia better qualified
than its author to gather up and re
cord the facts connected with the
early days of this stale Ho has
spent years and much patient laDor
upon the subject, and possesses a me
thodical mind well fitted for the
arrangement of facts. We regret fo;
his sake that the result of his efforts
has been so out of proportion to toe
importance of his facts as to render
its pecuniary success doubtful, — Tel
egraph <l* Messenger.
SPEER AND ARTHUR.
A telegraphic dispatch from ‘Wash
ington to the New York Times in
forms the world ‘‘and the rest of man
kind,” that “Di-trict Attorney Speer
promises an Arthur delegation from
Georgia.”
Mr. Speer could not secure the re
publican delegates from Georgia for
Mr. Arthur, if he was a democrat.
It is understood on all sides that he
has gone over to the republican party,
and that he will act with that party
in the future. There can be no objec
tion to this. But now that he has be
come an open and active republican,
it is hoped that the democratic papers
in Georgia will recognize the fact, and
treat him as they would any other re
publican. It will not do to support/
and defend him in the future as
been in the pa-t, The piper th/t
hereafter coddl>-s a republican wlie/is
devoting himself to the getting are
publican delegation for Arthur, and
wiio is working to overthrow the rX
publican party, will be apt to hear
something drop.—-[Telegraph and

OF ANOTHER AGE.
Gradually Sumilanted 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 is now styled the old
fashioned porous plasters did some good ser
verce. There was (lien 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 CAPCINE
POROUS PLASTER, which embodies all the
excellencies thus far possible in au external
remedy. The old plasters were slow—the
Caprine is rapid; they were uncertain—the
Uapcine is sure. Cheaper articles bear similar
names. Be corctul, therefore, that some thrifty
druggist doe* not deceive yon. In (he center
of the genuine is cut the word CAPLINE.
