“It is not all of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.”—Montgomery.
The foregoing lines comprise more
meaning than one would think upon a
mere reading. Life is a struggle. We
come upon the earth a helpless babe, in
tears and weeping. A life opens up to
us. As prattling children, blessed with
faithful parental affection, we see our
happiest days of innocent childhood, all
unconscious of sorrow and grief. The
youthful heart is pure and gay. The
ringing, happy laughter sends a thrill of
pleasure to every kind heart that hears it.
We pass on to maturity only to meet the
buffets of sorrow, disappointment and,
perhaps, misfortune. All can do some
good as we pass along the journev of life.
There are none too poor to do something
that will make the life of our fellow-man
brighter by our living. We are in the
world for good, and not for evil. “It is
not all of life to live” for self alone. It is
the sweetest pleasure to the true heart, to
the true life of man or woman, to be a
of good to the weak and help
less, the poor and needy—to lift the veil
from some poor, sorrowing heart and
cheer it hv deeds of friendship and hu
manity. How few realize the power of a
kind word or deed to a poor, struggling,
orphaned child, timid and shrinking,
with a yearning heart to cling to friendly
consideration—“lt is not all of life to
live” for self alone. Every act of pleas
ure we give to our fellow-man brings us
nearer to perfection, if there can be per
fection in our poor human nature.
Death is a serious thought to every in
telligent mind. It is a very sad reflection.
To lie down and die, to close out our
dealings with the world and mankind, to
pass over the dark waters of death, and to
be no more forever upon the earth, is a
gloomy meditation. And yet death mav
come with healing joy if we can meet it
with the consolations that follow as the
results of a well-spent life. To have lived
honestly, to have *sought only to do good
to the best of one’s ability and the means
within reach, will light up the soul as it
passes to“that bourne whence no traveler
e’er returns.” If we die the Christian’s
death, with faith and confidence in future
rewards for good conduct in life, “It is
not all of death to die.” It is only a transi
tion of the soul to a happy eternity of
blissful existence. To live and die with-
out a single record of good to one’s cred
it, or even a limited record in that re
spect, is a sad commentary upon one’s
life-history. It is the good we do in life
that brightens the soul for a higher des
tiny. It is the bad we do that overshad
ows the future with gloomy forebodings.
There is nothing so sad in this life as
the heart that does not feel for another’s
woes; that never reaches out in sympa
thy for our lellow-man; for the heart
that does not realize in truth that —
“It is not all of life to live,
Nor all of death to die.”
These lines of Montgomery constitute a
text for the finest reflections, the ground
of thought for the most splendid disserta
tion. This pen is not equal to it.
THE STEPHENS MONUMENTAL ASSO-
C/A TION.
In another place in this paper will be
found the constitution of the Stephens
monumental association, of which the
editor of The Free Press has been elect
ed as one of the vice-presidents for this
congressional district. The object of the
association is a noble one, and one in en
tire accord with our feelings and senti
ment and doubtless those of every true
Georgian. As Mount Vernon is cherish
ed by every true American as the home
of George Washington so should “Liber
ty Hall” rest upon the cherished memo
ry of every true Georgian. That home
so long loved by the “old commoner,”
the grand old statesman, the friend of
mankind, the dispenser of the noblest
charities should be permitted to pass into
the hands of none, but Georgians, and
forever remain as the Mecca of Georgia’s
love for one of her greatest and purest
statesman.
We accept the oltice of vice-president
of the association for this congressional
district with diffi fence and a realization
of the fact that we are unworth}' of so
distinguished an honor. It is enough for
any man to be a contributor, to hand in
his penny, or whatever he is able to do,
for such a tribute to the memory of such
a grand old man who so well and so faith
fully served his day and generation; a
man whose life and good deeds have
blessed so many of his fellowm in ; whose
heart ever hung upon the outsidedn sym
pathy for objects of charity: we say that
no true Georgian should fail to contribute
his mite to perpetuate the memory of
such a grand man, such a noble philan
thropist, as the late non. Alexander
Hamilton Stephens.
In order to do all we can for such an
object, we want every citizen of this con
gressional district to send to Messrs. J. J.
Howard & Son, bankers of Cartersville,
such contribution as each mav feel in
duced to give, ail of which will be truly
acknowledged. We want the seventh
congressional district to show the hearts
of our people in so noble a tribute to the
memory of so noble a man. We ask the
press of this district to republish this ap
peal—not forgetting to say to all who
contribute, to send the same to J. J,
Howard & Son, Cartersvilte, Ji., where
it will be safely kept and rightfully ap
propriated.
Uncle Charlie Willingham, one of the
oldest trained journalists in Georgia,
prints one of the best country weeklies in
the United States. The Cartersvill**
Free Press is a model paper, and though
its editor has been in tin* jounalistic har
ness a great imny more ye irs than we
have lived, he writes with all the force
and vigor of youth, mellowed by a ma
ture judgment.— Griffin Sun.
PROHIBITION IX 8188.
Prohibition in Bibb county received a
“black eye” on Saturday last at an elec
tion held to fill a vacancy on the board ol
county commissioners. It appears that
there were on the hoard two members in
favor of it and two opposed to It. The
vacancy to be filled would determine the
question of issuing liquor license in the
county. Upon this question direct the
fight was made. Rev. John VV. Burke
was the candidate of the prohibitionists,
and Mr. Phillips was the candidate of the
opposite party. The vote stood: For
Burke, 777; for Phillips, 1893, thus elect
ing the anti-prohibition candidate by a
majority of 1,116.
We think the majority of the people of
Bibb county who voted last Saturday
were eminently right in refusing to sus
tain sumptuary laws in a tree country
like this. It is well that people should
attend to their own private atlairs, and
not attempt to force their own views by
aw upon the rights and privileges of
others. We have enough of this hum
bug of the age. We warn a free people
against supporting such measures of
force implied by prohibition. It these
temperance people will hold themselves
off we do not think anybody will force
them to indulge in any kind of liquors.
They will hardly be drenened. On the
other hand, there are those who do not
believe that the temperate use of ardent
spirits is hurtful or sinful.
We do not believe that a majority for
prohibition can be secured. Indeed, we
understand there is great and determined
opposition by many of our best citizens
which will manifest itself if a contest is
made at the ballot-box.
COTTON MILL IN CARTERSVILLE.
From time to time onr people talk a
good deal about establishing a cotton mill
in Cartersville, and as often the subject
has died out without effecting anything.
There is no reason why there should not
be a cotton mill in Cartersville. The
people here could easily raise fifty or
sixty thousand dollars, or more, and
build a good mill. The farmers could do
it. It is one of the best legitimate busi
ness investments open to those who have
the money. It will pay from ten to twen
ty per cent, annually. Why do not our
well-to-do-farmers invest their surplus
funds in a cotton mill?
Such a mill here would pay splendidly.
It would give to many poor children
honest employment at fair wages. The
work would be light and the employment
constant. The results of this employ
ment would advance the interests of Car
tersville and the prosperity of Bartow
county. We repeat, why do not men of
means go to work and organize a stock
company at once ?
If some active, energetic man would
go around, we believe the means to build
a first-class cotton mill could be gotten.
If the whole amount could not be gotten
here, the capital will come to us from
elsewhere. Money will seek investment
among enterprising people.
DEATH OF DR. MEANS.
On Tuesday, the sth instant, there
flickered out a grand, brilliant, and as
sweet and tuneful a life as the CElean
harp; a soul as gentle as the pearly
brook of the mountain stream; a heart
swelling and full of human sympathy as
mankind as our mountain rivers; a soul as
boundless in good feeling for humanity as
all the points of the compass. r ihat soul
that sped its way to heaven and to eter
nal light was the life of Alexander
Means, one of the grandest men ever a
citizen ot Georgia.
It was on a Sunday morning in the
summer ot 1859, that we heard an ad
dress by the grand old orator, giving a
sketch of the life of a poor hoy struggling
vvitli poverty. The denouement of that
story was himself. It was then we had
a child unnamed, and, sitting in the rear
of the old Methodist church at LaGrange,
we determined to name that child after
Dr. Means.
Therefore, it is with feelings of the
most painful sensation that we record the
death of Alexander Means, the orator,
the Christian and the gentleman.
PROHIBITION A FALSE IDEA.
We publish on our first page extracts
from a lecture delivered recently in Bal
timore by a distinguished divine of the
Episcopal church of that city. The Mir
ror, of Chicago, in publishing the ex
tracts referred to, gives them the follow
ing notice:
The Rev. William Kirkus, D. Director
of a leading Episcopal church in Balti
more, has arraigned against him every
fanatical teetotaler and every Blue Law
advocate in that city. In a lecture deliv
ered before a large audience at the Acad
emy of Music, Dr. Kirkus pointed out
the gross exaggerations and palpable
falsehoods used by professional prohibi
tionists to back up what they are pleased
to call their arguments against the use of
malt and spirituous liquors as a beverage,
and showed that these reckless statements
did more damage to the cause of true
temperance than could ever be repaired
by the efforts of all the prohibitionists
combined. He declared that both Sunday
laws and prohibitory laws were entirely
beyoud the proper functions of civil gov
ernment, that their enforcement would
be fatal to liberty in its true sense, and
that such laws could not possibly accom
plish the purpose for which they were
enacted, and should not be continued or
enacted even if they could do so. Asa
consequence of advancing these common
sense arguments, Dr. Kirkus has been
made the target of shots from every sen
sational sectarian in Baltimore, and has
been denounced in vile terms by men
who profess to believe in the virtues, the
greatest of which is charity.
“The Baltimore press has had little to
say editorially about the matter, being
non-committal, excepting the Day, which
says editorially:”
“We welcome the contribution of Dr.
Kirkus to the cause we advocate, not
only because it is a careful argument
based on the facts of history and the
truths of all that exists of political science,
but because it is made by a preacher who
demonstrates that thoughtful and educat
ed clergymen cannot be carried by preju
dice into support of the programme of
the fanatical and ignorant members of
their profession.”
HON. A. H. STEPHENS.

THE DUTY ON SUGAR.
The Rates on the Different Grades, and
Other Notes from Washington.
Washington, June 5. —The secretary
of the treasury has instructed the collec
tors of customs in regard to the drawback
on sugar under the tariff act of March 3,
1883, fixing the following rates until
September 1,1883, on refined, loaf, cut
loaf, crushed, granulated and powdered
sugar, stove dried or dfied by other
equally effective process, 2,82-1000. per
pound. On refined white coffee sugar,
undried and above No. 20 Dutch stand
ard, In color, 1.45-100 c. per pound. On
all grades of refined coffee sugar No. 20
Dutch standard and below in color, 1.48-
JOOe. per pound. On syrup resulting en
tirely from the refining of the above
enumerated imported materials, the 4
cents per pound allowance on sugar will
he subject to a deduction of 1 per centum,
and the allowance on syrup to a deduction
of 10 per centum as prescribed by law.
Meanwhile, the commission is to be
appointed, consisting of George Keys,
sugar examiner at Boston, Ira Ayer, Jr.,
special treasury agent at New York, anil
one refiner, to he selected by the trade at
New Ycrk, to determine the proper rate
of drawback on sugar and syrups under
the act referred to.
Representatives Cobb of Indiana, Dunn
ot Arkansas, and Rosecrans of California,
have, through their attorney, E. N. Hill,
of this city, sent a communication to
secretary Teller asking him not to allow
the filing or record at the Interior De
partment of any mortgage made by the
New Orleans Pacific Railroad Company
upon the lands originally granted to the
New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicks
burg Railroad Company, and by the lat
ter transferred to the corporation first
named. The memoralists assert that such
a mortgage lias been executed and is to
be used as a basis for land grant bonds;
that the eonte mplated contraction is in
violation of the law, and that there is
grave doubt as to the right of the New
Orleans Pacific Company to avail itself of
this land grant in any way whatever.
Messrs. Cobb, Dunn and Rosecrans have
also filed with secretary Teller a protest
against any action on his part which
would result in the issuance of certificates
to the Southern Pacific Railroad Compa
ny for lands originally granted to the
Texas Pacific Company. They assert
that these lands were declared forfeited
by the judieary committee of the House
of Representatives in the Forty-seventh
Congress; that the bill for the consolida
tion of the Southern Pacific and Texas
Pacific roads, by which the former hoped
to acquire a shadow of a title to the
lands, was twice defeated in the house,
and that cue aotmiern Pacific Company
could not by assignment from the Texas
Pacific Company acquire any valid title to
the latter’s land grant.
THE HOSTILE INDIANS.
Estimates of the Numbers of the Cliirica
huas on the War-I'ath.
Washington June 7. —Adjutant-Gen-
eral Drum this morning received the fol
lowing telegram :
Whipple Barracks, Arizona Territory,
June G, ISS3. Gen. li. C. Drum, Adju
tant-General, Washington, D. C.: Lieute
nant Davis, of the Third Cavalry, after
an examination of th® Indians recently
surrendered at San Carlos, reports that
the Chiricahuas surrendered belonged to
Loco’s family, and number two boys and
eighteen' women and children. Sixty
six days ago the Mexican troops surpris
ed the hostiles in the southern Sierra
Madres. This party of Indians was cut
off from the main body, and three days
after the fight started for the reservation.
One of the party went back to bring Lo
co, hut Loco was too old to travel and
told them to come without him. Loco
lias one hoy and a squaw with him. All
the Indians were together when surpris
ed by the Mexican troops. Charley Mc-
Comas was with them and was well treat
ed. lie was kept to aid them in case of
surrender. The Indians knew nothing
of Gen. Crook when they left, but knew
the country was full of troops, and if at
tacked will fight until whipped—then
scatter through the Sierra Madres.
Most of them will attempt to work hack
to the reservation. Some expect no mer
cy and will keep up the fight and remain
in the mountains as long as possible, as
they have no other place to go. The
mountains in many places are inaccessi
ble. Gen. Crook will probably not meet
any of them before reaching the extreme
southern part oi the Sierra Madres. Do
not know the exact number of fighting
men, hut they are between 100 and 150,
with more than JOO women and children.
The number of men includes hoys large
enough to bear arms. The Indians think
Gen. Crook will have trouble to find the
hostiles. The latter will run if they
can. The Chiricahuas and Warm, Springs
Indians with a few renegade? are the on
ly Indians on the war-path in Mexico.
The Chiricahuas who surrendered at
Fort Thomas estimate the number of
fighting men, including boys able to bear
arms, at 107, including those just sur
rendered. The Indians are commanded
by Geronimo, and will not fight it they
can help it.

The Secret
of the universal success of
Brown’s Iron Bitters is sim
ply this: It is the best Iron
preparation ever made; is
compounded on thoroughly
scientific, chemical and
medicinal principles, and
does j ust what is claimed for
it—no more and no less.
By thorough and rapid
assimilation with the blood,
it reaches every part of the
system, healing, purifying
and strengthening. Com
mencing at the foundation
it builds up and restores lost
health —in no other way can
lasting benefit be obtained.
79 Dearborn Ave., Chicago, Nov. 7.
I have been a great sufferer from
a very weak stomach, heartburn, and
dyspepsia in its worst form. Nearly
everything I ate gave me distress,
and I could eat but little. 1 have
tried everything recommended, have
taken the prescriptions of a dozen
physicians, but got no relief until I
took Brown’s Iron Bitters. I feel
none of the old troubles, and am a
new man. I am getting much
stronger, and feel first-rate. lam
a railroad engineer, and now make
my trips regularly. 1 can not say
too muchtn praise of your wonder
ful medicine. D, C. Mack.
Brown’s Iron Bitters
docs not contain whiskey
or alcohol, and will not
blacken the teeth, or cause
headache and constipation.
It will cure dyspepsia, indi
gestion, heartburn, sleep
lessness, dizziness, nervous
debility, weakness, &c.
Use only Brown’s Iron Bitters made by
Brown Chemical Cos., Baltimore. Crossed
red lines and trade-mark on wrapper.
