The Cartersville American.
TUESDAY, MAY G> 18M.
(H R NEW YOU ME.
With this insue tin* American enters
upon its third year. Wo take this oppor
tunity of tendering to our friends' who
lmv(3 so "onerously assisted us, and who
have so kindly cheered us on to renew
ed endeavor, our warmest thanks. We
plead guilty to the charge of being young
and inexperienced striplings; but, if we
know ourselves, our hearts are in the
right place—our intentions are good.
Home of our patrons have been kind
enough to say that we have been giving
them a good paper in the past. We feel
profoundly grateful for such a compli
ment, and shall, with redoubled energy,
and with a’little experience, strain every
nerve to give our readers a paper, the
motto of which shall be, continued im
provement.
BLOINT’S BILL.
Should the bill introduced into the
house two weeks ago by the Hon. J. H.
Blount, of this state, become the law,
then the doors will be thrown wide open
to stupendous frauds. The bill reduces
the tax on brandy distilled from apples,
peaches or grapes to ten cents per gal
lon. This is not a brandy making or a
brandy drinking country. A few far
mers in Maryland and Virginia make
brandy from peaches, a few in New
Jersey distill brandy from apples and a
few in various sections of the country
ipake from, grapes. Outside of Califor
nia there is very little, comparatively, of
this kind of work going on.
But we are the greatest whisky-making
and drinking people in the world. We
distill more whisky, better whisky and
meaner whisky, than all the nations
combined, and we drink more, especially
of the latter kind. To reduce tlie tax on
brandy, while keeping it up on whisky,
will lead to the manufacture of immense
quantities of poor whisky ostensibly
under the name of brandy. It will pass
the inspection of the revenue officer as
peach, grape or apple distillation, when
in reality it will be com or rye juice or
sorghum extract. The temptation to
save the difference between ton cents
and ninety cents, the latter being the
present tax on whisky, will be too strong
to be resisted.
In every respect the bill is undesira
ble unless the tax on whisky is reduced
to the same figures. But this country
is not yet satisfied to give up all the
revenue it derives from the present tax
on spirits, and hence Mr. Blount’s bill
is a most unfortunate one. It should
meet with but one fate—an untimely
death.
A REVELATION.
Professor Gardiner, the politico-ethnol
ogist, in a paper read by special invita
tion last week before the Union Bethel
Literary Association, of Washington
City, presented some startling facts in
regard to illiteracy. He showed that
in 1880, 298 electoral votes represented
illiterate suffrage. Fifty-eight out of
76 senators, and 292 out of 325 represen
tatives were controlled by illiteracy.
In other words, the culturing of the
country was completely swamped in the
vast wave of ignorance. Over 70 per
cent., or about three-fourths of four elec
toral votes, represented the ignorance,
only one-fourtli representing education.
As the latter in this country is almost
synonymous with intelligence, the ques
tion arises, weere lias the boasted intelli
gence of the country gone ? And liow
long will free institutions stand the
pressure of such an antagonistic force ?
Professor Gardiner, who has devoted
much time and thought to this problem,
suggests two remedies: restriction of suf
frage, and education of the voter. The
first is impracticable. The franchise
once being exercised, cannot be taken
away except by a forced change of insti
tutions. The only remedy, therefore, is
educating the voter. To do this, nation
al aid is necessary. To render this aid
effective, the application of tlie assistance
must be left to the several states.
This is a problem whose early solution,
must be met. There is no dodging or
evading it. And upon its successful so
lution depends the very existence of the
republic.
Col. Jared I. Whitaker, of Atlanta,
died in that place on the evening of the
3d inst. He waa a grand-son of Jared
Irwin, one of Georgia’s earliest and most
distinguished governors. Col. Whitaker
had been a state senator, judge of the
city court of Atlanta, and for a long time
editor and proprietor of the Atlanta Daily
Intelligencer, and commissary general of
the state during the war, the important
duties of which office lie filled with the
strictest integrity. He was also a mem
ber of the constitutional convention of
1565. He was for a long time si member
of the Baptist church.
Live, wide-awake, progressive Atlanta
will not be behind anybody, anything, or
any place, not even metropolitan New
York. Bhr now wants a Madison Square
garden of her own, andfproposes to in
augurate it by a twelve hour walking
contest between seven well-known At
lanta newspaper men. The winning
man to receive a purse of SSOO and the
gate money. But, as usual, die enter
prising, heroic, self-sacrificing Constitu
tion takes the lead by placing four of her
staff in the ring. The whole state will
await with eager interest the result of
this great undertaking.
Ben Btttleb will be the most thor
oughly nominated candidate for the
presidency by the people. He has already
received the nomination at the hands of

TUE TATTLER TALKS.
F.irts snd FDrtfi Lathered Here and There
and Told by the Tattler to Tiekle the
Lossips aud Turn the Tedloos
Honrs into Talk.
Under the leadership of Col. Henry
I). Capers, the young men of Adairsville
have formed a military company. Ctrl.
Capers was in the city last Saturday, and
spoke in the most enthusiastic terms of
the company’s prosperity. It is com
posed of thirty-five men, most of whom
are handsome, strong-built young fel
lows, who will take great pride in mak
ing their company one of the best in the
state. (kW. Capers is a thorough drill
master, and under his leadership as
captain, the company is sure to attain to
a very high degree of excellence in the
manual of arms and in the field move
ments. This company will be supplied
with arms and equipments by the gov
ernor; aud will become a part of the
state militia. They are now drilling
every day to get ready for the Rome
encampment in July. Their uniforms
will be ordered from Philadelphia, and
will be handsome and attractive. Col.
Capers will exert himself to make this
company one of the best in the state.
He is a progressive man, full of energy
and life, and takes an interest in the
physical as well as the mental develop
ment of the young. It is very largely
due to his efforts that this military com
pany has been organized. It will prove
a feather in Adairsville’s cap, and is
only another evidence of the fact that
she is a live, wide-awake little town, full
of the spirit and progress cf the times.
The merry May time is here and the
picnic season is on us—a season full of
fun, laughter, sunshine and flowers. A
season when dull care should be flung
away, and the bright spots in our nature
should have a chance to show them
selves. A season when the wild honey
suckle and the sweet shrub lavish a rich
fragrance over hills and valleys. A sea
son when laughing brooks make joyful
music as their gurgling laughter ripples
out through quiet dells in answer to the
c it-bird’s echoing call. A season when
parth, aud air, and sky is clothed iu
beauty, and redolent with sweetness. A
season when all nature is pulsing with
joy and bounding with new life. A sea
son, indeed, when “The sunshine yields
a sweet delight, the bird’s low warble
thrills within our breasts, the flower is
eloquent with peace and joy, and better
thoughts come o’er us.” Shall I add
that it, is a season, too, when red bugs
and ticks fairly gloat over the pros
pect, and hold their annual ‘ ‘green corn
dance,” so to speak, preparatory to the
feast of fatness which is in store for
them. But it is nothing to contend with
a few blood-thirsty insects, when com
pared with the prospect of pleasure
which a May picnic holds out to the av
erage mortal. All nature calls, and the
response is heard in every heart, “To
the woods, away, away.”
I was in one of our large grocery
stores last week, and in conversation
with one of the proprietors, he remarked
about the improvement iu the quality of
butter put on the market now, as com
pared to what it was a few years ago.
He called my attention to a large case
full of rich, yellow butter, that would
have tempted the appetite of anybody,
and told me that it was bought from the
very best people in the county. This
argues that our people are improving
the quality of thoir cows, as well as
taking more pains with their milk and
butter. II lias always been a matter of
surprise, that in a country so well
adapted to the dairy business, so few
people seemed disposed to invest time or
capital in such enterprises, and it is
cause for congratulation that a change is
taking place. The adaption of North
Georgia for raising fine cattie is not sur
passed by any section in the south, and
it is one of the coming money-making
enterprises for this country. The Jer
sey cow seems to be the decided favor
ite, and her butter-making qualities en
title her to the lead. No argument is
necessary to show that stock raising
should be encouraged in North Georgia.
An amusing thing happened to two
little girls (almost young ladies) in a semi
nary not a thousand miles from Carters
ville. The regulations of the school requir
ed that a certain time after supper (one
hour, perhaps,) should be given to the
preparation of lessons for next morning.
A large room in the building was used
for this purpose, and at the tap of the
bell, everj'student went to studying, and
was expected to continue until the bell
sounded again, when they dispersed to
their rooms and retired. Not many
nights ago, this faithful little company
might have been seen posing over their
books with their accustomed energy,
when two little heads began to nod, and
soon Queen Mab was riding athwart
their noses and kissing their lips, caus
ing them, doubtless, to dream of holi
days and picnics. When the Dell sound
ed to retire, and the other children
threw down their books, they beheld
these two fair little forms, locked secure
ly in the arms of Morpheus, and uncon
scious of their surroundings. In a spirit
of good humored fun, they blew out all
the lights and quietly tipped from the
room, leaving these two sleeping beau
ties to darkness and themselves. All
night long they slept on, their heads
gently leaning on the table, with nothing
save a soft little arm for a pillow. Next
morning they awoke, feeling, as the
boys would say, very cheap. The other
children look on it as the best joke of
the season, while the two little sleepers
consider it almost unworthy of mention.
It was told to the “Tattler” by a pretty,
bright-faced little rosebud, who could
scarcely speak for laughing. She it was,
I suspect, who blew cut the lights and
/uggested that they be left alone in
their glory. She didn’t tell me if they
had good lessons next morning, but as
they are smart little girb, I guess they
did. They now belong to the “wide
awake club” and never “nod” in study
hours.
The following communication was re
ceived at the American office last Satur
day, but as no name was signed to it
they refused to publish it, and handed
it to me. I recognize the hand-writing,
and as it refers more particularly to what
tlie “Tattler” said about Taylorsville, I
have determined to give it a place in
this column. Tattler.
THE tattler’s MISTAKE ABORT TAYLORS
VILLE.
One would judge from the “Tattler’s”
talk, that Taylorsville is a deep hollow’,
with no one living in two miles of the
place. It seems that the “Tatler” comes
here while everybody is asleep, and
leaves before anyone wakes up. We
admit that he has enjoyed splendid op
portunities for knowing the place, for he
was once; as receiver, in oharge of a store
and two bars here, and became very
sleepy and lazy in a few hours after he
got in possession. (We didn’t say he
got drunk.) The blacksmiths, however,
are very much helped up at seeing
themselves in print, and enjoy behold
ing their image there much more than
when they look in a mirror. “Simeon
Simco” says that .you are mistaken about
the musical ring of the hammer, that he
can make a lap ring, an ox ring, and the
anvil ring, but he can’t make the ham
mer ring. “Simco” and “General Jack
son” are now trying to excel each other;
“General” bought anew dipper last
w eek worth a nickel, and “Simco” came
in this morning and said that lie would
not be controverted in any such way,
that lie must have one of those nickel
dippers. “General Jackson” has flesli
ened up fearfully of late, but it is due to
the fact of liia having been highly fertil
ized with several tons of Pendleton’s
guano stacked on one side of his shop,
and then several tons stacked up on tlie
other side. “John, the Giant Killer,” is
very much offended, and swears that it
is hostile strange, that he can’t take his
bellows out into the field to blow a din
ner liorn for the plowmen to stop their
incessant drivings, but that some one
accuses him of being in search of a bet
ter locality. The “Giant Killer” is bet
ter known by tlie name of “Tie Coon,”
and will tie to a man longer, and in
more ways than lie will appreciate. We
hear that he is tying to V. B. McGinnis
about three times a day. The “Drone”
lias made but little noise in the past few
days, and according to our observation
of bees, we would take it as evidence
of anew swarm coming forth, was it not
that he lias sucked at one blossom, and
droned in the mouth of the same stand
.so long, that we fear his love for the old
home will never be broken up. Our
“middle man” is the right man in the
right place, when you hit him you al
ways fail to knock him out of the ring,
but you bounce so far you-never get fat
ou him. Come and see us some day
when tlie day is fair and tlie people are
out of their oyolone pits, if you would
know what a place of business Taylors
ville is. We are so numerous that we
sign our name Taylorsville.
The defeat of Mr. Morrison’s tariff bill
has been predicted for some time, but is
now assured, since the wool men have
avowed their determination to oppose it.
They demanded that l fie bill be so amen
ded as to restore the rates of 1867 on
woo}. The friends of the bill refusing
this concession, lienee the opposition.
Notwithstanding Blaine’s rapid in
crease of strength, his friends are regard
ing Grant with apprehension, because he
is actively against this man, and also be
cause they fear that he may consolidate
the strength of all the other candidates.
Tom Keene, the great Wall street
speculator, got to the stepping off place
before he knew it. But yesterday he
counted his millions. Now he will count
his debts without money to discharge
them.
The contest in the fifth continues to
grow warm. When Col. Hammond re
turns home, we are inclined to think
that it will get hot.
PISTOLS AND POOL.
Resulting Ju flic Death of UJr. Wes. Ilardy.
The usual quiet and serenity of Tenth
street was considerably excited and
stireed about seven o’clock yesterday- af
ternoon by the report ox a revolver that
rang out on the the thoroughfare just in
front of the Red Light restaurant.
Hastening to the place the Hot Blast
reporter found Mr. Wes. Hardy lying on
a bed with liis hands across the pit of
liis stomach and vomiting quite freely.
He was very sick from the wound, “sick
er than ever before in my life,” lie said
when interrogated as to 1 low he felt.
From what could be learned, it seems
that Mr. Willis A. Hawkins, jr., formerly
of Americus, Ga., but more recently of
this city, and another party were engaged
in a game of pool in the billiard saloon of
Mr. Lon Hardy, brother of the victim.
During the game a dispute arose about
how many games the parties had played,
and from one word to another Hawkins
called young Hardy a “ ”
whereupon Hardy retaliated by giving
his opponent a blow with a billiard cue.
Hawkins left the saloon with the re
mark: “This is not the end of this.” A
few minutes afterwards, Hawkins re
turned to the Red Light restaurant, next
door to the billiard room and was speak
ing of the difficulty to Mr. Lon Hardy
and other gentlemen present. Mr. Wes
Hardy was standing near while Hawkins
was talking, and, as natural, the dispute
was renewed. Hawkins received a slap
on the side of tlie head from Hardy,
whereupon he pulled his pistol and fired,
the ball striking its victim in the region
of the stomach, hitting the second rib,
glancing and entering the cavity. After
firing, Hawkins turned aud walked down
tenth street toward his room, where he
was found by Marshal Hunter and arrest
ed. Drs. Davis and Sexton attended the
young man and pronounce his wound
not necessarily dangerous.
In reply to our question, Mr. Haw
kins stated that lie regretted the diffi
culty very much, and that it happened
in this way: “Ever since I have been
here I have frequented the billiard room,
and grew quite intimate with Mr. Har
dy. We have been in tlie habit of call
ing each other liars just for fun, and this
afternoon we had “run in a jug,” and had
taken a drink or two. I called him a
liar about a pool score, and he didn’t
like it. I told him I did not mean any
thing more than usual. This did not
satisfy him, and I told him he could
take it as he pleased. He then struck
me with a billiard cue and beat me up
badly. I left and went to my room and
after awhile returned, and was standing
in front of the Red Light restaurant tell
ing his brother about the difficulty,
when he came up and slapped me and
his brother drew a chair to strike me.
As I recovered from the blow I drew
and shot at him and then went to my
room.”
Mr. Hardy was not allowed to talk by
his physicians, but said to us, that lie
had whipped Hawkins in the afternoon
for calling him a liar, and that later he
met Hawkins in front of the Red Light
restaurant, when Hawkins again called
him a liar and he slapped him, and
Hawkins shot him.
Mr. Lon Hardy swore out a warrant
before Judge Jeffers, charging Hawkins
with assault with attempt to murder.
The judge placed Mr. Hawkins in the
custody of Marshal Hunter, to appear
before him this morning at 10 o’clock.
Mr. Wes Hardy, the wounded man, is
twenty-one years old, a clerk in his
brother’s billiard hall, and is regarded
by every one as an honorable, congenial
and clever young gentleman. He was
bom and reared in Cartersville, Ga.,
where liis parents are buried and most of
his relatives reside.
Mr. Willis A. Hawkins, jr., is but re
cently from Americus, Ga. He is the
son of Hon. Willis A. Hawkins, of that
place, a former judge of tlie Supreme
court of Georgia, and a gentleman very
prominent at the criminal bar of his
state. Young Hawkins graduated for
tlie law and came to this city for the
purpose of establishing himself as an at
torney. He is a polished and clever
young gentleman and generally liked by
his associates. —Anniston (Ala.,) Hot
Blast, May 3d.
Mr. Hardy died late Saturday eve
ning from the effects of his wounds. His
remains were brought to his old home,
at Cassville, and at three o’clock Sunday
evening were interred in the cemetery
at that place. Western grew up among
us, and liis many friends here were
pained to learn of his sad and untimely
death.
