THE FREE PRESS.
A:. ImleiM'iulent Democratic Journal.
C. H. C. WILLINGHAM, EDITOR.
Thj; Fkke Press is an exponent of the Free
Deni cracy of Georgia, and is opposed to al
Kin ;-, Cliques and Combinations organized for
the <i feat of the will of the People in all matters
of p lic interest, and will ever defend Free
Th e <ht, Free Action and a Free Ballot.
MA TE R OF LEGAL ADVERTISING.
\v 3 clip the following paragraph from
fl>n Atlanta Journal , of Saturday last:
“Tie legal advertisments of Bartow county,
W b:. h nave heretofore appeared in The Frke
Prks-J, will be found hereafter in the American.
The kkk Press avers that it has twice the cir
culat on of the American, in Bartow county or
out o it, and challenges the American to a sub
mission of their Ijooks to three repuable and dis
interested i*ersons. The public has an interest
in tiiis matter of legal advertising which shonld
control its servants and the oftieers. This adver
tising should not be bestowed as patronage, but
should lie placed where it will subserve the pur
jHise of the law irrespective of the journals it
may heip or hurt.”
The Journal certainly entertains cor
rect, views on this very important sub
ject to the people of a county. They
have been our views for more than a
quarter of a century as a public journal
ist. We have written columns of editor
ial in support of these views. We still
maintain them whether it may “help or
hurt” us. It is a subject of more im
portance to the public than many people
think, because there are few who think
of the matter at all. Many people think
an advertisement is an advertisement,
and that is all; that an advertisement
pays just as well published in one paper
as another. In this they are greatly mis
taken, often to their own disadvantage.
The object of advertising is to give
publicity to what is desired to be made
known to the public. Of course, the
paper having the largest circulation in a
community, a county or a section of
country can give the greatest publicity
to what is desired to be made known,
and the results are greater in proportion
to the advertiser. Therefore, the object
of legal advertising is to make known to
the greatest number of readers what is
necessary to be made known to the pub
lic. If property is to be sold" at public
sale the greater number of bidders who
are advised of it, the greater the number
of bidderss, and, consequently, the better
are the chances for better prices. In
cases of sheriff’s sales, it is to the inter
est of both the plaintiff and the defendant,
that, the property sold should bring the
ltcsr prices. In the interest of widows
and orphans, it is best for them that when
the property of the deceased is sold that
as many bidders should be made aware
of the time of sale, and the character of
the property to be sold, as possible. In
the affairs of the county all advertising
peri lining thereto should be made known
through the widest medium of intelli-
gonee.
lienee, we agree with the Journal that
“tin public lias an interest in this mat
ter < f legal .advertising which should con
trol its servants and the officers;” and
that “this advertising should not be be
stow ed as patronage, but should be plac
ed v here it will subserve the purpose of
the .aw irrespective of the journal it may
hel. or hurt.” We did not attempt to
sc re the county advertising of Bartow
for Thk Free Press until we knew we
had the largest circulation in the county.
We have held that circulation ever since,
and still hold it by more than double.
Then, why should the county advertising
be transferred from The Free Press ?
There is the mystery, yet unexptained
by the officers of the county. They have
lodged no complaint at this office. We
have done their work faithfully, and
they know it. They made the transfer
without warning to us, without giving
any reason, and they can give none. It
has, perhaps, been “bestowed as patron
age.” There can be no other reason that
we can see. We understand, (how true
it is we do not know,) that the transfer
was made to build up the other paper.
If a paper cannot build itself up upon its
own merits, we do not think the public
interests should be used for that purpose.
If this fact be true, will the people of
Bartow county endorse such a procedure
on the part of their public officers? Will
they submit to be used to build up an
interprise of any character to their own
disadvantage ? Let the people think of it
and look more carefully in the future to
their public interests. We make the fol
lowing points:
1. We have the largest circulation in
this county, by double, and will submit
books to prove it.
2. The county officers have made no
complaint against The Free Press and
can make none justly.
Having the largest circulation and
doing the advertising faithfully. The
Free Press is entitled to the county ad
vertising in the interest of the people of
Bartow.
4. These being indisputable facts, it is
the duty of the county officers to conform
to the public interests “irrespective of
the journals it may help or hurt.” That
is their plain duty if not technically, then
it is morally.
While we feel that The Free Press
has been wronged unjustly and without
cau e, we know that the public of Bar
tov county have been wronged nio r e
than we have been. The Free Press
cai live upon its own merits and its ex
istence does not depend upon the county
adv “ftising. If it did we should abandon
it; nil try our fortune in some other di
rection.
Waterman, of the Monroe Advertiser ,
we guess from the hints of the Macon
Teh jro.ph, is keeping his Christmas in a
per immon beer jug. Well, John should
keep it in the jug properly labelled and
not slip behind the door “nip” it.
VOLUME VI.
WAYS AND MEANS.
Speaker Carlisle has appointed the com
mittee on ways and means, the leading and
most important committee of the house
of representatives. As we expected and
feared a majority of its members are com
mitted by their congressional antecedents
to the most extreme views of the free
traders. The most of them are men of
great intellectual ability and, socially,
are genial and cultured gentlemen. If
true and consistent with their congress
ional record, they must favor a sweeping
reduction in our tar iff duties. If faith
ful to propositions, some of them have
heretofore made, they must advocate a
reduction until our tariff shall not ex
ceed thirty per centum ad valorem, which
is a “tariff for revenue only,” and which
is free-trade in its worst form, for such a
tariff would inundate our country with
the products of foreign labor and, conse
quently, would crush out every home
industry.
Our hope from this committee, how
ever, is largely dependent upon lion.
Abram S. Hewitt, of New York. While
he may advocate tariff reform, yet he is
eminently a conservative man and states
man. In learning, practical experience
and business success, he will be the con
trolling democratic power on that com
mittee. A man of great wealth, largely
identified with the iron production of
this country, trained from his early man
hood in all the intricacies of our commer
cial pursuits, and, possessing in connec
tion with these qualifications a ripe
scholarship, hft cannot aud will not per
mit any rash and radical interference
with a tariff system which makes his own
state, and all the states of this Union,
the most prosperous nation on the globe.
Mr. Hewitt, and that old Homan, that
walking tariff encyclopedia of the United
States, Wm. D. Kelley, ot Pennsylvania,
will make this committee conservative
in spite of its free trade doctrinaires.
Brains will govern it, and Hewitt and
Kelly are the brains of this packed com
mittee.
We like Hewitt; we honor him for his
honest and incorruptible political record,
for his high personal character, for his
clean hands and pure heart, and, also,
for his great intellectual ability. We have
laid away in our office a speech made by
Mr. Hewitt some years ago in the house
of representatives upon the material and
productive resources of our country
which we preserve as a gem of beauty,
learning and patriotism. The head and
heart which conceived and uttered these
noble sentiments will ever be conserva
tive where placed in office. In our judg
ment, there are only two men in the
United States whose nomination for the
presidency would give the democratic
party a ■ fighting chance of success, be
cause capital and business men would
not be afraid of them, liiese men are
either Sam of Pennsylvania, or
Abe Hewitt, of New York. Ever since
the election of Mr. Carlisle to the speak
ership capital and our productive indus
tries have been trembling to the yerge of
panic; but nominate either Randall or
Hewitt and capital will have all its fears
dissipated, and confidence will be re
stored.
THE FREE PRESS FOR ISSh.
The public need not suppose for a mo
ment that The Free Press is dead or dy
ing because the county advertising has
been so unjustly, and without cause or
reason, tranferred from its columns to
those of a paper with not half its circula
tion. The Free Press will survive to
stand by the interests of the people of
Bartow county, and the progress of the
material interests of the same. That
The Free Press is righfully entitled to
the county advertising by reason of its
superior circulation no candid and honest
man will deny when in the possession of
the real facts. These facts will be‘ given
to the people of Bartow county from time
to time. “There is something rotten in
Denmark” in this transaction. There is
something mysterious, seemingly, about
it; but the truth will be made known in
time. The naked truth must be present
ed, even if its nudity may cause some to
avert their modest faces.
In this fight matters will be “handled
without gloves.” The Free Pris*
will be fair, but aggressive in the inter
ests and welfare of the people of Bartow
county. The withdrawal of the county
advertising leaves The Free Press ab
solutely and unequivocally independent
of all men or parties, whether in matters
of federal, state, county or municipal af
fairs. We shall know no man in the fu
ture in the discifssion of public interests.
It is independent of all cliques and rings,
let them exist wnereever they may. It
is placed where professed friendship in
the past can avail aught against it in its
defense of the rights and interests of the
people of this county. The mysterious
and unjust transactions of the past few
days in connection with the county ad
vertising, has awakened suspicion that
the transfer was not intended in the in
terests of the people.
The transfer of the county advertising
was made without a note of warning to
us. No complaint has been lodged against
our work. We were, we repeat, entitled
to the county printing because The Free
Press has more than double the circula
tion of the American ; and, hence, it was
due to the public that no change should
have been made; it was due to the inter
ests of widows and orphan* that it should
not have been disturbed. It was not a
question, either, of The Free Press, the
American, the county officers or any in
dividual or set of individuals. These
things the people of Bartow should un
derstand in their own behalf. They
shall understand. It will be the mission
of The Free Press during the year that
they shall know' them, bei tuse they pay
the taxes, and heavy and honorous taxes
at that.
THE FREE PRESS.
TO OUR FRIENDS.
Now that the effort is made to injure
Thk Free Press unjustly and without
cause or reason, and at the expense of
the public interests of Bartow’ county, by
the withdrawal of the county advertising
from it columns, we hope our friends
will rebuke this transaction by doing all
they can to extend our circulation and
the usefulness of the paper, We propose
to run The Free Press upon its own
merits. If its merits a liberal patronage
we desire to secure it. If its circulation
is the largest, we desire the county ad
vertising; otherwise, we could not con
sists ltly ask for it, and would *-.ot.
Wilf our friends exert themselves in
behi.lf of The Free P*as? Let all pre
sent subscribers get Sfcwi more for us in
the county. The Free Press is the
people’s paper irrespective of party,
ringi or cliques. We intend to make it
a b tter paper than ever if possible,
though we do not hope to secure “the
best journalistic talent in the state,” for
the reason that we are not able to do so,
nor is there a country weekly paper in
stau able to employ such talent for the
want of the requisite patronage. We
can only promise what we can do our
selves, and we hope to make as good a
paper as was ever published in Carters
ville. We almost feel tempted to say
that The Free Press can and will cope
with any journalist enterprise in North
Georgia.
B it, however, let the true friends of
The Free Press stand by it, and it will
stand by them. We intend to make
thin ;s lively the coming year. We shall
knO'V no man or set of men in the dis
charge of our journalistic duties to the
people of Bartow county, whether we
are sustained by our public officers or not.
We ask nothing from them for that pur
pose. We have made The Free Press
whac it is in the interests of the people.
We lo not propose that the public inter
ests shall be made subservient to our
own interest.
“PA TENT INSIDE:’
When The Free Press was put to
press last we had no idea of pub
lish ng a paper this week; nor did we
intend doing so until it was too late to
set up a full fiftper. In order to “make
the riffle,” we have resorted to a “patent
inside” for this week, and this week on
ly. We now regret that we did not get
out i half sheet instead. As an old journ
alist, we have no love for “patent in
sides” nor “outstdes.” If we can keep
our senses we hope we shall never again
have to give our readers anything but a
home printed paper, and we shall not
look to public pap to do so either. We
have been caught in this emergency by a
sudden change of mind and could do no
better in the emergency than to send out
a “patent inside” paper. It is not legiti
mate journalism, buta bastardy in journ
aiis a that we hope never to father again.
With this explanation w T e bow our
head in shame in forcing upon our read
ers an illegitimate issue of Tub Free
Press, It will not occur again. The
moi alty of the thing is too bad for a mod
est journalist of the old school. Friends
and fellow-citizens! we plead guilty of
the worst act of our whole newspaper
life We shall not open The Free Press
this week to see what is inside of it.
Ducks charge everybody with being a
“quack,” and there are but a lew who
are exempt from the gosling accusation.
Dr. Bull’s Cough Syrup is certainly an
exception to the rule, as it is no doubt,
the greatest remedy offered to a suffering
people.

“Women are a necessary evil,'’ he said, bring
ing down his fist hard on the counter to empha
size the heartless remark. It was in the village
store at West Milton, Saratoga county, and the
speaker was the central figure of a group of
bucholic philosophers. He was homely, sloven
ly and sixty.
“There’s where I differ from you altogether,”
said Mr. George T. Graham, of the same place,
“Women are mostly what men make ’em. When
husbands are brute'* wives will fall mto submis
sion or make home not for the men; aud they’re
unnatural in either character. Love them, and
especially lie good to them when they're sick,
and you’ll have no trouble. There’s my own
wife, now. She’s suffered a good deal with dys
pepsia, nervous prostration and other ailments
that took the bloom ofl‘ her cheeks and the spring
out of her steps. Well, she saw an advertise
ment of PARKER’S TONIC, and thought it
would be just the tiling for her case. Gentlemen
I sent five miles after a bottle. She took it. I
sent again after more. So several times. Trou
ble? Why, if you could see how much good it
has done her you would say that women are the
greatest of God’s blessings, and PARKER’S
TONIC is next.”
This preparation, which has been known as
Parker’s Ginger Tonic, will hereafter be called
simply Parker’s Tonic. This change has been
rendered necessary by substitutes imposed upon
their customers by unprincipled dealers under
the name of ginger; and as ginger is really an
unimportant flavoring ingredient, we drop
the misleading word. There will be no change,
however, in the preparation itself: and all bot
tles remaining in the hands of dealers, wrap
per under the name of “Parker's Ginger To
