on Tuesday, the 3d day of June, 1884, t.<,

Democratic Convention at Chicago.
John N. Dobbs,
Ch'm’n Ex. Com. B. C.
Curtersville. Ga., May 12, 1884.
SEVENTH fOXGRESSIOXAL DISTRICT.
Mr. Clements will go before the nom
inating convention of this congressional
district as a candidate for re-election. Ho
far there is no other avowed candidate in
the field, though there are other men in
the district who would not object to be
ing nominated. From the present out
look there will be no opposition to the
regular democratic nominee. While we
are not championing the rights of any
particular man without knowing who
will run, we feel that Mi’. Clements has
more claim on his party for a renomina
tion than any other man in the district.
The interests of our people have not
suffered in his hands heretofore, and he
is now better prepared than ever to do
efficient service in congress. Experience
is a necessary requisite to a good legisla
tor, and Mr. Clements will profit by the
four years already spent in congress.
There is another reason why ho has
claims on the party. He has twice led
it to victory when defeat seemed prob
able, and now that a good wind has set
in and the sailing seems favorable, it
looks reasonable that he should have the
benefit of it. “To the victor belongs
the spoils. ” Mr. Clement’s chances for re
nomination and re-election are flattering.
MAJ. M. A. COOPER OX PROHIBITOX.
On our first page we publish a commu
nication from Hon. Mark A. Cooper, a
venerable, aged and wise man. Major
Cooper is w ell known all over Georgia,
and whatever he says has considerable
influence with a great many people.
He says: “First—lt cannot be done.”
11l other words prohibition does not pro
hibit. The law will be evaded and bro
ken, and therefore it should not be made.
Such a proposition as this is the boldest
kind of sophistry. Prohibition does pro
hibit. There is a law prohibiting steal
ing, and we all know the law is a good
one; yet men steal and evade the law
every day and night. We all approve
of the law r against gambling, and yet
men gamble constantly. Murders are
committed in violation of law and good
order, and no one is bold enough to say
that the law agaiust murder should be
prohibited.
It may be said that all this is old and
trite. Ho it is, but no more so than the
proposition as laid down by Maj. Cooper.
“Hecondly,” lie says, “it ought not to
be done.” The cry of liberty, freedom,
etc., is an old dodge of the liquor men,
ns absurd as it is ancient. The very
men who utter this cry do not believe it
themselves. Now, if the bacon shipped
from Louisville, Ivy., were known to be
affected with trichinae, what a line and
cry would be raised all over our state
against its importation ! Our legislature
would pass summary laws against it, and
every man in Georgia would say “Amen.”
No man has a right to sell poisoned meat,
even if men are ignorant enough and
hungry enough to eat it. But poisoned
meat will kill only the body, while the
poisonous liquor that comes into Georgia
from Kentucky by the thousands of gal
lons, kills body and soul.
We all liayfPla perfect right to buy
clothes with {Sockets in them, and we
have the further right of carrying in
those pockets money, marbles, letters,
accounts, etc.. But a just law says we
must not carry concealed weapons in
those pockets. Now if the law forbid
ding the carrying concealed weapons is
compatible with liberty and freedom,
then the carrying of whisky concealed
under our clothes is equally compatible
with liberty and freedom.
With all due deference to Maj. Cooper’s
age, experience and wisdom, we must
say that his communication is nothing
more no less than a rehash of the ancient
and threadbare arguments of the Hyuor
men.
At the unveiling of the colossal bronze
statue of Martin Luther in Washington
City the other day, Senator Conger, the
orator of the occasion, paid the following
beautiful tribute to the imperishable
name of the great reformer: “Four cen
turies from the date of his birth, three
thousand miles from the scenes of his la
bor, on tlie 1 warders of a continent then
undiscovered, in the capital of a wonder
ful nation then unborn, we gather from
far and near around the monument of
Martin Luther, wrought in enduring
bronze from the mines of Germany,
modelled by the skillful artisans of his
own fatherland, aud transported over in
tervening land and sea to stand amongst
the other memorials of patriotism and
veneration that adorn our beautiful city
and stimulate the faith and virtue of un
numbered citizens of this common
wealth.”
Gov. Tilden is reported as saying that
the present financial trouble “anil bring
■ good to the country. It will bring to
more legitimate occupations a bright,
active class of young men who have
heretofore wasted vitality in a risky, un
natural business. ”
Ben Butler has begun to accept the
numerous nominations tendered him.
Xhis finale of the farce.

The Methodist people of Cartersville
should finish the steeple on their church.
If they would do this it would be one of
the handsomest church edifices in North
Georgia. The house is located in a
prominent and public part of the city,
where it can be seen from the railroad,
from the court house, from the public
square, from the cemetery, from the Ht.
James hotel, aud also from the eminence
on the east aud west side of the city.
As it now stands with the steeple unfin
ished the church looks bobtailed and
awkward. If finished it would be a pride
to the denomination and an ornament to
the city. The Methodist congregation is
amply able to Spend the money neces
sary to complete the church, and I very
much hope they will do it. Its a pity to
spend so much money on a house and
then quit it without giving the finishing
touches. Let the towering shaft lift its
head upward towards heaven!
The people of the Cedar Creek district
voted last Saturday on the question of
“I'eneo” or “no fence,” and the result
shows that fences are popular in the ru
ral districts. When the votes were
counted the majority for fence was over
whelming. The vote stood 88 “for
fence” and 27 for “no fence.” I hap
pened to be present on the day of the
election, and it was amusing to see the
crowds from the ridges come pouring in
to vote for fence —regular brawny-armed,
sun-burned rail-splitters they were, and
every one of them wanted a fence. T
think every negro in the district voted
for fence. They seemed to take more
interest in it than the white people. It
was only the large farmers and more in
telligent class of white men who voted
for no fence. Even some of the best
men in the district were in favor of
no fence, especially so in this instance,
where it was only to be enforced in one
district. This is not to be wondered at
as there are many disadvantages and in
conveniences connected with enforcing
the stock law in small districts. The
law requires that fences be erected
around the entire district and gates
built across all roads passing through it.
Tins would cause expense and trouble to
those living on the line of the district.
The people of North Georgia are not
yet ready for the enforcement of the no
fence law, but the time is coming, and
not far distant, when the people of
Georgia will be compelled to adopt this
law. Timber is too valuable to-be split
up into rails, especially to protect crops
from the depredations of “gill” cows and
“razor backed” hogs. But I think the
measures would be more popular if sub
mitted to the whole state instead of
voting on it by districts.
While in Adairsville last week I visited
the home place where I was horn. The
old house in which my infancy and boy
hood was spent is torn down, and a more
modern residence is taking its place.
The workmen were busy with the ham
mer and saw, changing it from an old
fashioned suburban home to a smart
town residence. The
lumber that had once formed a shelter
and protection to me, .and which was en
deared by a thousand tender ties and
pleasant associations, was thrown in a
careless pile and being used for kindling.
While these changes are all right and
should be made, I was sorry when I
looked upon it, and the fountains of
feeling almost broke loose in my Ixisom.
It will never be the same place to me
any nioie. The little porch in front,
where 1 have so often sat in the evening
and watched the glorious sunset, is torn
away. My mother’s room, where the
cradle rocked and the sweet lullaby was
sung in the happy days of long ago, is
no more. The scraggy China tree at
the corner of the house, in whose gnarl
ed old arms I have so often sat with my
pop-gun and played the summer hours
away, has been cut down. The old
honeysuckle vine which clambered up
the column of the porch where the cat
bird used to build its nest and sing its
morning song, lias yielded up its affec
tionate embrace and lies withered in the
fence corner. I loved this primitive old
home. I love it yet.
“I love it, L love it, and wlio will dare
To chide me for loving a place so fail?”
I am sony that I can never again visit
the old cottage on the hill. It was dear
to me and I mourn for it.
There is no surface excitement in local
politics in Bartow county at present.
Everything is moving serenely, and can
didates are backward about announcing
themselves. It is generally understood,
I believe, that Mr. A. W. Fite will stand
for re-election to the legislature, but so
far no other name is prominently before
tbc public. A strong effort is being
made to get I)r. Felton to run, and if
he will consent to do so there Is no
doubt of his election. The people of
Bartow county have never failed to sup
port him for anything he asked for at
tlicir hands. There are many known as
“organized” democrats who would vote
for him in this race. I hope he will
run. His wisdom, eloquence and expe
rience would give Bartow an enviable
reputation in the legislature. Fite and
Felton would combine the vigor and
freshness of young manhood with the
wisdom and experience of age. I could
willingly vote such n ticket. I have not
heard of any candidates for the county
offices. lam told that Judge Howard
will run for ordinary again, though I have
never heard him say so. Mr. Durham
will ask to be re-elected clerk of the Su
perior court, and will doubtless have no
opposition. W. W. Ginn and B. A.
Barton, onr present tax receiver a4
collector will offer for re-election. They
have made acceptable officers, and I
hear of no opposition to either of them,
f have not heard Hherift* Gladden say
whether or not lie will l>e a candidate.
In fact lam only guessing all round.
There seems to be less “hankering” for
office and more desire to work on the
part of our people at present than for
many years. This is a good sign and
indicates prosperity for the future. Let
us select our l>est men for the respective
offices and then elect them.
I promised to report the proceedings
of the debate at the Sixth, between A.
W. Fite, Col. Stansell, Prof. Hendricks’
and Mr. Ab. Baker, on last Friday eve
ning. There is nothing to report. As
you have already been advised the pro
gramme hail been somewhat changed
from the first arrangement, but it was
generally understood that Hendricks
and Fite were to discuss the question,
“Should there be a property qualifica
tion to vote?” and Col. Stansell was to
make a temperance speech. Many peo
ple were there expecting to hear some
thing good from these speakers. But
the school exercises consumed so much
time that it was too late to carry out the
original programme and the debate part
was omitted. We were all there, how
ever, except Mr. Baker, and enjoyed
the evening’s exercises very much.
The Cartersville delegation, composed
of Stansell, Fite, Albert Johnson and
myself were assigned seats on the stage.
We were all somewhat elated at being
“called up higher” and assumed to our
selves considerable ail’s. During the
progress of the evening a boy and girl
came on the stage and indulged in some
“questions and answers.” One of these
question was, “why do lawyers always
thrive?” The little girl, with an arch
look at Cols. Stansell and Fite, promptly
replied, “Because they skin their clients
alive.” The audience cheered and
whooped to the echo. Stansell blushed
and Fite yawned. The questions and
answers ran along with some variations
till they came to this one, “Why is a
lawyer like a pelican.” This time the
clown undertook to answer, and after
some frightful contortions he got it out,
“Because they know how to stretch their
bills.” This was more than the audience
could stand and they fairly stood up and
snorted. We lawyers were glad that
the curtain fell just then and it became
necessary for us to retire that the whole
school might come on the stage to sing.
Albert Johnson says this was a “put up
job” by Prof. Hendricks, and that in
stead of intending to compliment us by
asking us on the stage, he did it to
bring us into prominence, and then fur
nish the audience with fun at our ex
pense. But at any rate we had a jolly
good time, and the professor entertained
us at his hospitable home in princely
style. “Our boys” didn’t get to speak
that night, but they fairly “tore the
ground up” next day in the Justice
court. I got a dozen new subscribers
for the American and came away smiling
all over myself and in a good humor
with everybody.

TRUSTEE.
The Farmers' Loan and Trust Cos.,
OF NEW YORK.
TOTAL AMOUNT of First Mortgage Bonds, $7,500,000, issued at the
rate of $15,000 per mile in
DENOMINATIONS of SIOO, SSOO and SI,OOO
INTEREST at G per cent, payable on the first days of January and July
| at the Farmers’ Loan and Trust Company of New York.
LAND GRANT.—The State ot Florida has granted to this Company,
by Act of the Legislature, approved February 27th, 1883, Eighteen Thousand
Acres of land to the mile, one-third of which grant the Railroad Company
gives as BONUS, direct to the subscribers of the Bonds at the rate of 40 acres
for each SIOO of bonds ; 200 acres for SSOO of bonds; 100 acres for each SI,OOO
| of bonds.
TERMS OF SUBSCRIPTION are as follows: 25 per cent, cash, 25
per cent. June Ist, 25 per cent. September Ist, 25 per cent December Ist.
INTEREST allowed on allowed payments from date of subscription.
BONDHOLDERS have the right to select their own lands all of which
are located in Brevard, Monroe, Dade, Manatee, Orange, Polk, Sumpter,
; Hillsborough and Hernando Counties, in Florida.
SUBSCRIBERS to these Bonds really get DOUBLE value. The Bond
j itself is worth its face value, and the land is clear gain, and worth more
than the full subsription, therefore we confidently recommend the bonds as
| a most desirable investment and shall bo glad to furnish full particulars re
garding the same.
JOHN T. NORRIS, Special Agent.

It is the opinion of able men who have examined this project, that the
canvass for subscriptions will be very short; that the wants of the Railroad
Company will be speedily supplied, and that this offer of lauds will be soon
withdrawn. It would be a comparatively easy matter to negotiate the
whole issue ot bonds with no eastern or foreign syndicate, which would
gladly secure the 3,000,000 acres of land offered as a clear bonus, but it has
decided to make a popular canvass and offer the bonds in small sums and
on easy terms, so as to interest thousands of men who may become settlers
along the line of road. An emigration plan as well as a railroad project is
included in the programme. No such offer has ever been made in the past,
and probably never will be made in the future by any other railroad com
pany,
