FOR VICE-PRESIDENT :
THOMAS A. HENDRICKS.
Indiana.
Fon Statf. Senator, 42d District:
JOHN W. MADDOX,
Chattooga County.
Hammond should be returned to Con
gress.
Clements will have no opposition in
this district.
One case of cholera has 1 >een reported
in the lower Mississippi valley.
Logan’s letter of acceptance, like unto
Blaine’s, is very dry reading matter.
Harry Jackson addressed the people
of Fulton county at DeGive’s opera
house last night.
In the fourth district Hon. Henry R.
Harris is likely to receive the congress
ional nomination,.
Lula Hurst is exhibiting her wonder
ful power at Globe theatre, Boston. She
made $4,000 during her short stay in
New York.
Politics in Bartow will be very lively
thfs fall. The crop of candidates is al
ready large and continues to grow more
abundant.
Hon. Thomas M. Norwood has been
nominated by the democracy of the first
district for congress. No better selec
tion could have been made.
Mr. Longstreet has been taken down
and Bryant put in his place by our acci
dental president. The office of marshal
of Georgia pays a salary of 6,000 dol
lars per annum.
Bibb county endorses the Hon. J. H.
Blount for re-nomination to congress.
Blount has made a fine representative,
and the people of his district will be sure
to return him to congress.
Ex-Governor St. John, of Kansas,
has been nominated by the prohibition
ists for the high office of president of
the United States. It is far from being
the part of wisdom for the temperance
men to put out a presidential candidate.
Hon. P. L. Mynatt has withdrawn
from the race for the nomination in the
fifth district. Hammond and Jackson
have carried two counties each. Should
the old fifth displace the former for the
latter, it will be a sad day for her, and a
back seat with a retograde movement.
THE STATE TEMPERANCE CONVENTION.
It was our good fortune to attend the
State Temperance Convention which
Wiis held in Atlanta last Thursday. The
delegation that gathered in the state
capitol was a large one, and was com
posed of some of the strongest and clear
est-headed men in the state—men whose
hearts were in the work of temperance.
They were not there in the interests of
any corporation or ring. They were not
there to advance the interests of auy one
man or any particular class of men, but
they were there in the interests of hu
manity and morality. They were there
to devise means of elevating and bene
fitting fallen and degraded men. They
were there to provide for the protection
of helpless women and children. It was
not a collection of fanaticals and enthu
siasts whose speeches were made up of
sentimental twaddle, but they -were men
and women of reason and common sense.
Such men as Pringle, Adams, Seals,
Sanders, Murphy, Whidby, Hansell,
vVatterson, Stewart, Erwin and many
others of like character. Speeches were
made that had the ring of true manhood
and noble Christianity in them. No un
kind things were said of whisky dealers
as individuals. No harsh criticisms were
made on the men who drink, all they de
manded was that the people be permit
ted to say at the ballot box whether or
not wliislty should be sold. No blood
curdling stories were told and no unrea
sonable appeals were made. It was a
body of business men firm in the con
viction that they were right, and anx
ious to test those rights before the peo
ple. The reports made from the various
sections of the state where local prohi
bition has been enforced, were very en
couraging. While it does not operate to
stop the sale of whisky entirely, it is
working a great reformation and accom
plishing w'onderful results. The senti
ment of the convention was that the
question of prohibition slrould not be
mixed with questions of local politics,
but should he made a separate issue and
voted on solely on its own merits.
We came away from that convention
feeling stronger in our convictions that
prohibition is coming; that our people
want it and are determined to have it.
The delegation was some two hundred
strong, and represented all professions
and classes—except whisky dealers.
During our association with these del
eagtes we did not hear a single oath nor
smell a single whisky breath. We are
proud of the men who lead the temper
ance movement iu Georgia. They are
brave, true, high-minded men who know
their rights, and knowiug, dare maintain
them. They are, fr the most part, men
who do right and fear God.
The meeting was harmonious and the
cause will be sti engthqned by it. The
i#mpei’duce army is on the m >y e .
AN APOLOGY.
It is withninfeigned reluctance that we
again refer to the editor of the Free
Press. Were all of our readers citizens
of Cartersville, no mention of him or his
paper would be made in our columns.
Toe people of this city need no light on
the subject. They understand the situa
tion of affairs as well as we do. But it is
due the American to state to those of our
readers who do not live in Cartersville,
that the aged editor of the Free Press
was very drunk during the greater part
of last week; and we use the word
“drunk” in its fullest and most positive
sense. While completely under the in
fluence of liquor, he wrote for his paper
several articles, in which he intimates
that the editorial on “The County Ad
vertising’’ which appeared in the Ameri
can last week, deviated slightly from the
truth. If the people of Cartersville aud
Bartow comity did not know that what
we said of the editor of the Free Press is
the truth and nothing but the truth,
those of them who read the Free Press
of last week are now thoroughly con
vinced of the fact.
We offer no apology for telling the
truth. Under the circumstances we did
nothing but our duty. But we do most
humbly apologize for having been the
direct cause of the opening of the flood
gates and letting ont through the col
umns of the Free Press such a large
quantity of chaste and manly thought
and diction.
We would bespeak for our aged con
temporary the sympathy and commisera
tion of our readers. Poor fellow! He
was sadly off' his balance and needs the
pity rather than the censure of the good
people'of the county. Unless forced to
do so, we shall not speak of him or his
paper in these columns again.
THOSE PETITIONS.
We had expected to present a com
prehensive statement this week showing
the number of signers to the prohibition
and anti-prohibition petitions that were
circulated so extensively last year while
the bill to submit that question to the
voters of Bartow county was pending be
fore the Georgia legislature, but we have
not had time to prepare it. We will be
able to show that less than five hundred
qualified voters signed the anti-prohibi
tion petition. We will be able to show
that nearly half t-liat number were ne
‘groes, the majority of whom pay no tax,
except a poll. We will be able to show
that the signers of the anti-prohibition
petition represented less than one-fiffcli
of the voting population of the county
and less than one-eiglith of the taxable
property of the county. We will be able
to show that the prohibition petition rep
resented over eight hundred voters, be
sides hundreds of women and children.
That it represented over one million dol
lars of taxahlf: property of the county,
anTVthat it r in addition to the
voters and tux payers, the names of the
purest women and sweetest children in
the state of Georgia. We do not ask
our readers to accept our word for this,
but we expect to produce the proof of
what we say. It will be in order to pub
lish at the proper time the names of the
signers of these two petitions, and when
the lines are drawn and the lists are
made up, the people of Bartow county
can see for themselves who is for whisky
and who is against it. While there are
some true men and good citizens who
favor the sale of whisky in our county,
we unhesitatingly say that the majority
of the thoughtful, intelligent, virtuous
men of the good county of Bartow will
be found signers of the prohibition pe
tition, and we thank God that the women
and children —the embodiment of all
that is lovely and virtuous iu life—are
all on the prohibition side. Wo will
soon be able hi verify these statements
with figures that cannot be controverted.
We are not fighting the men who sell
wliiskv nor the men who drink it, we
are fighting the law that allows it to be
sold.
A MORE HOPEFUL OUTLOOK.
The American has, more than Once,
taken occasion to speak of the crowded
condition of the dockets of Bartow Supe
rior court. We have expressed the fear
that it would be impossible, at the rate
business is disposed of, to catch up with
the work in any reasonble time. We
have recently made some investigations
into this matter and the result is both
gratifying and encouraging. We are en
abled, this morning to present some fig
ures showing that the number of cases is
growing beautifully less, For the year
1884 thirty-two cases have been entered
on the motion docket, while fifty-eight
have already been disposed of; and on
the issue docket one hundred and thirty
three cases have been entered, while one
hundred and sixty-seven have been dis
ixised of. This is a very considerable
gain, especially when it is remembered
that there are two more weeks of the
regular term in which to work, besides
an adjourned term of two weeks in Oc
tober or November. This gives four
more weeks of work in addition to what
is already done. If business is dispatch
ed with the same rapidity during fliis
time as it has been up to the present the
number of cases disposed of will reach
largely over two hundred for 1884; while
the number of issue cases docketed will
not be increased as no more oases can be
regularly brought till the January court.
As an illustration of the rapidity with
which gains are made wc note that about
twice as many cases w ere disposed of at
the January term as wore brought to
that tei m. We will undertake to find
out how many coses were brought and
how many were disposed < f during the
year 188.3. We will also try to ascertain
how many cases there arc yet undisposed
of. By doing this, and then estimating
the rate of gain for last year and this
year we can approximate the time when
the work will be fully up. It is of inter
est to every tax payer in Bartow county
to know these facts, and it is our duty as
a pnlific journalist to inform them. As
the witness said of his son Mose in Cou
sin Sslly Dillards case: we are yet
“smartly in the grass” and it will be no
easy matter to clear the dockets, but if
lawyers aud judge will join iu the efforts
to expedite business that desirable object
may be accomplished. Judge Fain is
straining every nerve and bending every
energy to catch up with his w ork in our
county. He has spared no effort to help
us out of our trouble, and the result of
Ills lalxir is beginning to be seen and ap
preciated. A better day is dawning aud
we hope to see, at no very distant day,
our people relieved from the burdensome
tax of supporting so many courts. We
will refer to this subject again.
“OUT OF THY OWN MOUTH WILL WE
JUDGE THEE.”
Messrs. Editors: I read the editorial
in your paper of last week in reference
to the county advertising aud was pain
ed to see the reasons given by the coun
ty officers for changing the advertising
from the Free Press to the American.
I regretted to see in print a statement
so damaging to the reputation of our
town. After reading it carefully, and
comparing the facts as you gave them,
with the statements made in my pres
ence by some of the county officers, I
was forced to conclude that you had told
the truth and nothing but the truth, but
you have not told the W'hole truth, your
good nature had overcome you, or you
were not as well informed as you ought
to have been, before undertaking the
task. lam not at liberty to add what
I have heard, but hope to see a state
ment from the county officers explaining
their conduct in this matter. If the
change was made as has been held by
the editor of the Free Press—because
of corruption and a desire to show fa
voritism—the officers should be rebuk
ed publicly; but, if because of the drunk
enness, and consequent unworthiness of
the Free Press to receive the patronage
of the county, the officers should be vin
dicated. I have always been a friend to
the editor of the Free Press, and have
sympathized with him in his many self
made troubles, both of a public and
private nature, at the same time I am
shocked to see how completely, as a
journalist and public servant, he has
given himself over to the enemy of pub
lic good and decency, and as a man he
has apparently surrendered himself into
the hands of an unmentionable individ
ual, who always finds work for his ser
vants. I noticed a short time ago an
article in your paper by “Scribbler” re
ferring to the files of the Free Press as
proof that it had always been on the side
of disorder and lawlessness, you charge
that the Free Press teemed with coarse,
vulgar, ribald expressions. You accuse
him of being the champion of the whis
ky cause, a former writer accuses him of
an open, shameless advocacy of wdiislcy
drinking. Now, as to the truth of the
whisky part of it, the Free Press has a
record known and read daily by the citi
zens of your town and community; as
to the vulgarity of the paper, no further
proof is needed in any court than the
last issue of the Free Press, July 25th.
This issue convicts it of every charge
that has been brought against it, its vul
garity stands unequalled, its profanity
would shock satan himself, its indecency
and lewdness brings the blush to the
cheek of the most abandoned; your
charges against the paper as a family pa
per are only too true. Ido not claim to
bo very careful in the selection of papers
for my children, but I have long since
decided that the Free Press is not to
enter my house until it has gone through
a regular quarantine, and I know sever
al parents in your town who feel, and
act in the same way.
It gives me no pleasure to write about
these things, it is an unpleasant task.
So far as the controversy between the
papers is concerned, I am wholly disin
terested —having no interest iu either
paper aud wishing neither any harm,
but would be glad to see both succeed,
but I think it the duty of every citizen,
whether he belongs to that much hated
class,called Christians,or not,to condemn
and endeavor to suppress such scurrilous
sheets as the Free Press is fast getting
to be. I think I will hide my last copy
for future reference, and if I get angry
and want to say something profane or
vulgar I will have only to draw it out
and read it aloud to my enemy. The
editor of the Free Press stands convieted
by his own utterances. A Father.

The City Council make au Appropriation to
Build a School House aud are
Eujoiued by l)r. Baker.
For a long lime the people of East C irters
ville have been trying to get a school house
built on their side of the city. Their schools
have had to be taught in private bouses, aDd
chicken coop buildings just wherever they*
could secure a place.
Some few mouths ago several of the promi
nent citizens ot that side of town made up
money aud bought a large vacant lot near
Col. N. S. Eaves’ residence. This lot they
deeded to the city with the understanding
that it was to be used for school purposes
alone. The lot, v'-e learn, cost $350.00. At the
June meeting of the city council they accept
ed this donation of a school house lot and at
the same time passed the following resolution:
Resolved, Tbat tlie mayor and aldermen of
the city or Cartersville appropriate the sum of
fifteen hundred dollars for the purpose ol
building a sehool house on the east side of the
Western & Atlantic Railroad, on the lot deed
ed to the city by Sanford L. Vandivere, and
that said arnout be turned over to a building
committee to be appointed by the mryor, com
posed of four aldermen aud three citizens of
said city and that said committee be required
to make through their chairman, monthly
statements of their expenditures to the mayor
aud aldermen, aud be required to keep an
itemized account of the entire cost of said
building.”
The bnildiug committee appointed by the
mayor, uuder this resolution was composed ot
F. M. Ford, Marlin Collins and Rev. T. E.
Smith as citizens, aud A. R. Hudgins, W. C.
Edwards, W. H. Barrou aud J. C. Wofford as
aldermen. This committee has been at work
and had taken steps to secure the building
material, and, we are informed had already
expended a small part of the appropriation.
Just as the East Cartersville people were feel
ing jubilant over the prospect of a comforta
ble school house a little cloud begins to rise
on their bright horizon, and rumors
are heard that an injunction is going to be
tiled against the mayor and aldermen to re
strain them from paying out this money
These rumors were verified on last Thuisday
when Mr. J. A. Baker, as counsil for Dr. Thos.
H. Baker presented to Judge Fain a bill ask
ing for an injunction and restraining order
against the city ofliceis. The allegations in
the bill are:
Ist. Dr. Baker is a large tax payer in said
city and pays a yearly tax of dollars into
the city treasury.
2d. That the mayor and aldermen ol said
city nre a body corporate, and as such are lia
ble to sue and be sued.
3d. That at a recent meeting of said city
council an appropriation o* $1,500 of the ci’y’s
money was appropriated to build a school
house on the east side of the Western & At
lantic railroad.
4lli. That a committee was appointed to
carry out this appropriation and build said
school house.
sth. That orator does not know whether
said school house is to be public or private.
6th. That said committee are procuring ma
terials and contracting for labor to build said
school house, and that they are paying ont a
part and intend to pay out all of paid $1,500
for said purpose,
7th, That said mayor and aldermen are ex
pending said $1,500 under the pretense ol im
proving the property of said city, when in
fact the lot of land on which they propose to
build was bought by private subscription and
was donated with the understanding that said
city would appropriate a large sum of money
to build said school house.
Bth. That said lot in said city containing
two or three acres and is not necessary for
the purposes of said city, 6aid city being a
municipal corporation and incapable of hold
ing only so much real estate as is nect6sary
for the purposes of said corporation in the ad
ministration of said powers of government as
have been delegated to it by law.
9th. That the contracting for material and
labor to build said school house is the creation
of anew debt not within the power of said
corporation to create.
10th. That there has never been an election
by the voters of said city to authorize the ap
propriation of $1,500. Nor has there ever
been any tax asses.-ed by the city for such pur
pose as the building of a school house in this
way.
11th. That orator is informed and believes
that contract for burning brick to be used in
said school house was let out long before the
passage of the resolution to make the appro
priation of said $1,500.
12th. That orator is informed and believes
tbatsaid mayor and alderman have already em.
ployed oounsel to resist this bill to be paid out
of the treasury of the city, and to defeud the
wauton aud Illegal acts of said mayor and al.
dermen.
18th- That said mayor and aldermen have
already employed an architect to draft the
plans of said house at an expense of SIOO to
be paid out of the city treasury.
The bill concludes by asking for a tempor
ary restraining order till tho hearing of said
matters, and that said mayor and aldermen be
perpetually enjoined from paying out any
more of said appropriation, and that they be
required to pay back into the city treasury the
nmouut already paid out.
Judge Fain granted a temporary restraining
order irndset the case for a hearing to-morrow.
The mayor and council have employed
Messrs. Uraharn & Graham to represent them.
In their answer they admit that the approprl
a'ion was made 48 phargpd, and that they are
proceeding to buy material and make contracts
for the building of said school house. They
claim, however, that under their charter they
have the power to make such improvements
ns the interests of the city demand, and that
jj. comfortable school house on the east side of
Ctirl-crsvillp is an 4t}&oJple#ud fjeccssity
aud that it is their duty as the guardians ofl
the public good of our city to build the house
In the 52d Ge rgla report there is a decision
rendered by Judge McCoy in which beheld
that municipal corporations have the power
under a general charter to build hospitals,
school houses, etc., for the public good. The
defense will rely on this decision. The result
of this trial wili be watched with very great
iuterest by our citizens. Most of them with
whom we have talked ou the subject express
the hope that the city will be allowed to pro
ceed with the work. If any town ever needed
a school house, Cartersville is that town. We
do not pretend to express an opinion as to the
law of this case, nor do we want anything
done in an illegal way, but our sympathies are
with the sehool house builders.
Cram's Atlas of the World.
The above work is one of the most
desirable books of the Rind we have
ever examined. Wa have never
know’n a better book sold by subscrip
tion and it is a pleasure to recommend
it. It should be in the library of ev
ery family in the country. Mr. M.
A. Morgan, a student of Emory Col
lege is in Cartersville representing
this work, and will remain here fora
week or ten days, presenting the mer
its of his book to our citizens. He
bears a letter of recommendation
from Dr. Hay good, the president of
Emory College. He is a young man
of limited means struggling for an
education and is devotiug his vaca
tion to this work. He is energetic
aud deserving, and we hope our peo
ple will give him a favorable hearing.
The book he represents is worth twice
the amount charged for it.
