THE CONVENTION.
Our Correspondent Goe to a “Party'
and Writes ns What he Saw.
To the Editor of the Free Press :
I.ike the true erring Catholic I hasten
to make a confession of my sins to you
and the independents of Bartow. Seeing
; that you were advertising a call for a
I mass meeting to be held on Tuesday, I
concluded to go and see the show and the
animals “the party” had on exhibition.
I saw several persons whose faces I rec
ognized in shows of this kind. After the
fl>or was cleared the ball was opened by
Gen. Young proposing the game of
“merrie-go-round” in which the Bacon
men were to engage first to be followed
in a game ot the same by the Boynton men.
The chair appointed Gen. Young and
Dr. Baker to watch tlie game. The
doctor, now- senator, had evidently not
engaged in a play of this sort for some
tune, if ever, for he was quite awkward
and embarrassed. This part of the pro
£>’ ammo must have been suggested to
the general on account of its being some
what similar to the “German” in which
it is said he performs with at least satis
faction to himself. After this was over
a great deal was said about parliamen
tary law and parliamentary practices and
such things, hut the chairman positively
informed the gentlemen that such things
a-; that might or might not exist in Eng
land, but that our form of government
was democratic and did not allow of
such things; that if this “partj*” is to be
addressed it must be done in United
States language and in democratic
style.
Something was then said about elect
ing delegates to cast the four votes of our
county mi the convention to be held in
Atlanta on the 10th Inst., whereupon
Mr. Murphy arose and informed the
“party” that that part of the programme
had already been performed on the day
before and drew Iroin his pocket several
printed lists of the delegates who had
been chosen on Monday. I saw several
other men draw lists from their pockets
which corresponded exactly with Mr.
Murphy’s. *
Three or four of the younger brothers
ran upon the judge’s stand with their
hats in their hands and these lists were
put in the hats. I do not know how
many at a time by any one person. But
the list was read and declared duly elect
ed (on the day before) and duly approv
ed to-day.
There were several- ‘‘wall flowers” at
the “party,” among whom I saw several
attractive men with good judgment. But
tiie “party” was determined not to hear
from them. After the “parly” was oyer
and had ratified all that had been done
the day before it was pronounced a
success. So much so tluit the exhuber
ance ot some had to be drowned in the
flowing bowl.
There were some “visiting friends at
the party” from Atlanta, but the last I
saw of them they seemed to be laboring
under an attack of somnolency.
Now, Mr. Editor, if you and the inde
pendents will grant me absolution I will
promise to be better in the future.

For the manufacturer who has met
with the hearty co-operation of all the
people of Cartersville. Why wonder ye,

cold indifference towards and downright
opposition to the only successful mode of
building up a town ? K. 11. Jones.

A Colored Preacher in Trouble.
Esquire Smith, a densely colored min
ister of the gospel and general camp
meeting loud-mouthed exhorter, has got
ten himself into trouble. His larder be
coming rather depleted and his congre
gations not “anteing up promptly he re
solved to use his Angers on anything that
he eould get hold of. Tuesday night he
went to another colored man’s house and
stole a chisel and then repaired to the
smoke house of Dr. W. H. Felton, whieh
he succeeded in opening and taking
therefrom a quantity of lard and meal and
leaving the chisel for the purpose of
throwing suspicion upon Floyd Felton,
from whom he had stolen it. That per
sonage, not liking the close state of af
fairs, came to town yesterday morning
and swore out a warrant for Esquire
Smith and put it in the hands of Marshal
Wilkerson for execution. That officer,
accompanied b} r Range Sellers and Floyd,
made a raid on Smith’s house last night
and succeeded in finding the articles
stolen. Smith was arrested and carried
to jail, and, after being quizzed consid
erably, he finally confessed to stealing
the articles and that no one had a hand
in the stealing but himself.
Farmers, mechanics, millers, railroad

Fine Flour.
Our good friend and neighbor, Mr. A.
R. Hudgins, has placed us under obliga
tions for a sack of “A. C. Wyly’s Patent
Diamond Flour” of which he is agent.
The flour is of excellent quality, being
as w’hite as the driven snow and a great
improveftient over the old style. This
flour is gaining popularity every day and
yet, being in the market only a few
months, the manufacturers are hardly
able to supply the demand. We are cer
tain that our people will appreciate Mr.
Hudgin’s efforts to give them the very
best article of flour, as he now proposes
to do, and which he does in the handling
of the “Diamond.” It costs a trifle more
than XXX flour and fully makes up the
difference in quality aud healthfulness.
We w'ould advise our friends to give it a
trial and we’ll wager almost anything
that they will be more than pleased.
For fresh cakes, bread, etc., go to Car
tersville bakery.
Ladies will find it to the interest of

A Color**! Library AiodUoa.
To The Free Press: —H> have lxe i
considering some plan that will help us
raii€ the moral, religious and intellectual
standing of our young men and women
in < artersville. To do this we thought
of getting up a colored library for them
to find a place of employment for the
mind when idle. We believe that many
of our white and colored triends have
books and papers that they will freely
give us to aid in this good cause. We
have a great many young men who
would like to have such a place where
they ©an go on sabbath afternoons when
they don’t go to church and read books
and papers. After we did agree in our
minds to have such a reading room in
Cartersville for our young people the
thought came to us, what >ball we name
it : 1 hree names were uttered and after
some interesting speeches were made it
was agreed that we should call it the
“Theo. Smith Colored Library of Car
tersville, Georgia,” a name that our
friends will be giad to read of, a Christian
gentleman that will do all in iiis power
to help us in building ourj-elves up, mor
ally, religiously and intellectually.
We ask our friends for any books or
book that they will give us for the li
brary. Those who will give us some
thing will please notify liev. J. B. Lof
* in, pre-idfu, through the post office by
postal card or any other way and he will
call at nny place appointed and get them.
We have friends afar; we believe they
will help us in tills good cause. If so we
thank you to send us any aid to Theo.

An Incendiary Fire.
Last night about 9 o’clock the barn of
Mr. Asa Dobbs, near town, on Tennessee
street, was discovered to be on lire, and
the flames had made suc'a headway that
nothing could be saved from the burning
building. There is no doubt but the fire
was the work of an incendiary and sus
picion hangs heavily over a certain par
ty in the immediate neighborhood, as
that person had made threats of an in
cendiary character. The barn was a
good, substantial one and full • of corn,
fodder and cotton seed, a flue Jersey calf
being stalled in the buildiug also. The
entire loss will amount up to about three
hundred dollars, outside of the ttfcy dol
lars insurance on the barn.
An Excellent Workman.
We have seen some specimens of the
work of Mr. James A. Gladden, cooper,
and it is the best and most substantial
that we have ever seen. He has recently
filled an order for thirty-seven very
large tubs for a distillery, and the pur
chasers are every way more than satis
fied. This gentleman exhibited speci
mens of his work at the Philadelphia
centennial and carried oft’ several prizes.
We are glad to learn that he will locate
here permanently, put up a manufactory
for barrel staves which will be run by
machinery. The machinery will arrive
at no distant day and operation begin at
once.

, PILES.
Piles are frequently preceded by a sense of
weight in the back, loins and lower part of the
abdomen, causing the patient to suppose he has
some affection of the kidneys or neighboring or
gans. At times symptoms of indigestion are
present, as flatulency,uneasiness of the stomach,
etc. A moistnre, like perspiration, producing a
very disagreeable itching, particularly at night
after getting warm in bed, is a very common at
tendant. Blind, Bleeding and Itching Piles
yield at once to the application of Dr. Bosan
ko’s Pile Remedy, which acts directly upon the
parts affected, absorbing the tumors, allaying
the intense itching, aud effecting a permanent
cure, where all other remedies have failed. Do
not delaj until the drain on the system produces
permanent disability, but try it and be cured

OUS URIC ACID WHICH EXISTS IN THE

SALICYLICA is known as a common
sense remedy, l>ecause it strikes directly at Um
cause of Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia
while so many so-calleu specifics and supposed
panaceas only treat locally the effects.
It has been conceded by eminent scientists
that outward spoliations, such as rubbing with
oils, ointments, liniments and soothing lotions
will not eradicate these diseases which are the
result of the poisoning of the blood with Urie
Acid.
SALICYLICA works with marvelous ef
fect on this acid so removes the disorder. It is
now exclusively used by all celebrated phrsJ
sic tans of America and Europe. Highest Medi
cal Academy of Pans reports 5 per cent cures
in three days.
