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. REWARD! For any case of CHILLS THAT CH LARINE FAILS TO CURE. C. F.

Now is the time to pay for THE FREE PRESS. Put a Brand on Him. “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 nic,” contain the genuine luedecine if the signa ture of Hiscock & Cos. is at the bottom of out side wrapper. dec6-lm.
