TAXES TOO HIGH.
Merchants Refuse to Pay the Increase
Put on by the Council.
Jackson, Ga., March 2.—(Special.)—
The town council raised the tax on mer
chants this year from $25 to 8125. At
this the merchants kicked and the figure
was cut down one-half. Some of the
merchants still refuse to pay and the
contest will probably go into the courts.
On* councilman has resigned.
Hon. T. J. Dempsey introduced a bill
in the last legislature to abolish the
county court and it passed. The grand
jury recomended last week that the
court be re-established. At once the
charge was made that it was the work of
what is known as the “county court
ring.” A committee, composed of lion.
T. J. Dempsey, J.’ R. McCord, Frank Z.
Curry, R. W. Maya and B. F. Moon, via
ited the governor on Tuesday to beg of
him not to appoint a county court judge.
Today he telegraphed that he would not
appoint a judge until the legislature es
tablished the court. —Atlanta Conatitu
tion.
Th only thing in the above special
that strikes us in the pit of the stomach
as a big chunk of news, is that the re
commendation of the grand jury was
the work of what is said to b the
“county court ring.” When we heard
that thoo who favored a county court
had formed a ring and left us out with
out even consulting us, ws were com
pletely nonplused. We haye been look-,
ing for the ring every since we heard the
above statement, and have n >t been able
to locate it up to date. We nsked some
of the jury if they knew whieli way they
rolled out of the room, but they seem to
b* as much at sea as we. Any informa
tion in regard to said ring will be gladly
received at this office as news matter.
WATfeON STAYS OUT.
A special from Augusta says : Hon.
Thomas E. Watson will not stand for
congress in the next congressional
electional, nor will he oiler for gover-
HO Will UU
offered the successoreliip of Senator
Alfred H. Colquitt.
This is the present program of the
party aud is a result of a conference
of the leaders just held m Augusta.
This does not mean that there is to be
no opposition to the democracy in that
district. The People’s party will
have up a candidate. It is not yet
definitely settled who it will be, but
it is the consensus of opinion that Dr.
West, of McDuffice county, will be
asked to make the race tor congress.
There will be a People's party candi
date, of course, lor governor, but he
lias not yet been selected. Colonel
Teek would be willing to make the
race, but it may be that he will not be
put up.
The People’s party has come to the
conclusion that it cannot hope to se
cure success without the aid of widely
circulated newspapers. The leaders
hold that had they had the support of
such inlluence they would now 7 be iu
control of the state. It was develop
ed at the meeting referred to that it
is the desire of Mr. Watson to stav
out of effice, even if he could win, aud
devote himself to the upbuilding of
his newspaper enterprise. He hopes
to be able to start daily soon. He
expects the necessary capital in a short
time and it may not be long now be
fore the paper is started.

Atlanta, Ga,, Mcli. 1,1894.
Editors Argus:— l saw in your issue
of Jauuary 25tli a notice of a drunken
preacher, “who exibited himself in your
city some time ago.” I learn also that
lie was understood to be a “preacher of
the Christian church,” and you will
please permit me in your next issue to
say that he was formerly a preacher of said
church, but lias not been for more than
two years. His license to preach, on
account of similar conduct, was with
drawn by the First church in Atlanta,
and will not likely be soon restored to
him. It is a misfortune to which all
churches are liable at long intervals.
Yours truly,
Thomas Munnell,
State Evangelist.

cure foe sudden colds, should be in

THE SACRED CONCERT.
There were twenty seven pieces on tlio
programme, consisting of chorusses, du
etts, quartetts, vocal and instrumental
solos, recitations, songs and tableaus.
Every piece was a success, and we would
that we bad space to ment’on every per
formance, but as all did so well and we
cannot mention all, we forbear to men
tion any. Suffice it to say, that it was a
grand success financially, socially, and
morally.
The little girls in our. town are equal
to tire emergency, when it comes to
making a high-toned first class entertain
ment, and if “Lips that touch liquor
shall never touch mine,” there will be
some miserable old bachelors in this
county, or some gentlemen in the next
decade. “There is tallent iu this
town,” was the expression of a visitor
from Grffiu, who was in the audience.
Dr. Cantrell was master of ceremonies
and seemed at home. All praise to the
noble men aud women -uid children, who
gave their time and talent to make this
noble enterprise the success it was.

TO OUR PATRONS.
Recently complaints have come to us
that children have been to the Institute
in the morning and afternoon -and have
found themselves locked out and had to
go home.
Now let’s understand this matter. In
the morning the first bell rings at 8
o’clock. No pupil is allowed on the
grounds before that time. Set your
clocks with the bell and don't let your
children leave home before the bell rings,
unless you live at a considerable distance
from school. No one within the incor
porate limits of the town ought to leave
home befroe the first bell.
The second bell is rung at 8:30 o’clock
aud all pupils are required to be at school
oi me second bell the teachers
and pupils assemble from tlieir rooms in
the chapel for chapel exercises. The
doors are locked till that exercise, which
lasts one period, is over. Pupils who are
tardy and come during that period are
“required to wait” at the door until that
exercise is over. To go back home is a
gross violation of the laws of the Insti
tute, as has been explained to the pupils
several times. At the close of the pe
riod—a period is thirty minutes—the
doors are opened, the tardy pupils ad
mitted, and all pupils reassemble in their
respective rooms for recitations, etc.
The doors are almost always closed, but
never fastened after the first period, so
that a pupil can get in and he is required
to come in at any time of the day lie
may come to the Institute, except, of
course, the first period as already stated.
Those pupils who have gone home and
aid they were sent away because they
came late have manufactured a false
hood to suit the occasion, and instead of
their parents abusing us for sending them
home—a thing we never did—they should
use some of their energy in correcting
the faults of their children.
Parents, we hope you will co-operate
with us in having your children to be
punctual in attendance.
No pupils have ever been sent away,
as they claim to have been, none have
ever been locked out except during the
period already named nor will they ever
be—unless it is found necessary to do so,
and iu that case, we pledge our word
to have announcements of the fact
printed aud sent to each patron of the
school. Until the announcement is sent
you, please do not make any such unjust
complaints.

LAWYERS.
If there is a profession that should,
more than auy other, be composed of
men with good moral characters it is
that of law. All lawyers should be gen
tlemen, and the bar should see to it that
men who care nothing for justice, and
use their knowledge to defeat the very
ends for which law was made, could not
in the future get au endorsement by the
bar.

COTTON NOT SOLD.
Notwithstanding there has been,
through the winter, and still is, a
general cry of great scarcity of money
among all clashes, yet there is now re
maining iu Hie warehousesiw this city
a considerable quantity of cotton be
longing to the farmers of this county.
This U a pretty..good evidence that
there are a good mauy farmer* in the
county who are not specially strained
financially. This cot too will be some
help to the owners in bearing the
farm burdens of this year. Ibe be*t
feature, however, connected with it is,
that it is a pointer to the fact that the
farmers are gradually approaching a
point where they can have more thor
ough control of their cotton after it is
produced than they have had in years
past.

Parents who neglect their

mistake, and will bring misery
and ugliness to them in the fu
ure.
Harp sells fresh meats of all
kinds.
An exchange says the fellow who
couldn’t spare a dollar for his home pa
per a year, sent fifty 2-cent stamps to
the city to find out how to “raise
beets,”and received a postal card in
reply “take hold of the top and puil.’
The fellow is a near relative of the
man who sent $1 to find out “how to
make money,” and received a card in
reply telling him to “get a job in the
mint.” Ha is also a relative of the
rnan who sent $1 to kuow “how to
make one thousand dollars a year
without work,” and received a reply
to “put SIO,OOO out on interest at ten
per cent.” Another of his relatives
sent $1 to rind out “how to w rite
without pen or ink,” and the reply
was to “write with a pencil.” The
cheap literature of the North is full
of j ust such fake advertisements, for
the nefarious purpose of catching the
unsophisticated.
Farmers, don’t neglect your
teeth, because you haven’t got
the money to pay for having
them fixed. I will fix them and
wait until fall for the money.
