The Cartersville American. TUESDAY, JULY 29, I SSL OIJH TFBIvETB* —r— :<K- — FOR PRESIDENT: GROVER CLEVELAND, mmewmmwmm- §fcpp YoiW. mm**mm~* . 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 P. L. Mynatt has withdrawn from the race for the nomination in the fifth district.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. School Notin'. Miss Lucy Carpenter will resume her school, on Church street, on Monday, the 18th of Aiigust,with Mrs. J.

Wheat turned out a right good yield in this section, and but very little was damaged by the wet weather. Corn is looking quite well since it made its escape from the weeds and crab grass. Cotton is doing very well uow, but there will be but little fruit on it in July. G. W. Hendricks has some corn sets on hand yet that he could Bpare. Mr. J, M. Anderson has about three acres cf cotton that will make a bale of lint pel acre. Mr. Ed. Green has six acres in cotton that is just as tine as it ever grows in Bartow. Mr. G. H Gilreath preached a very practical sermon at Mt. Maria, and just at the same time at Cedar Creek Baptist church iu hear ing, Mr. Andrew Nix preached one of like character, for I was sitting about half way be tween the two churches rather unwell, but could hear them both, which caused me to to think of past and future as being just near by on each side of us. Mr. B. F. Masteller is arranging to overhaul his mills aud other buildings aud machinery. He is uow carding wool. Last Saturday was dispensation day for the t)36 district, G. M., but the thing would not dispense worth a ceut. So she will just have to wag until the next fourth Saturday. Bud Paul’s mule very suddeuly made a whirl while G. IV. Hendricks, who was stand ing with one foot on the buggy wheel and the other on land, also made a double righi-about left flank movement. The mule ran, throwing Paul lro*n tlieJUuggy. Hendricks followed in quick pursuit and found Mr. Paul standing firm iu the road, looking at the new style in which the mule had left the buggy. Paul says that when he spoke to Mr. Hendricks he repiied, “are you dead ?” Mr. Paul not be ing used to so sudden praying, exclaimed : “Look out, Lord, here 1 come right uow!” BARTOW SUPERIOR COURT.

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. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS.
