BILL ARP’S LETTER
Bartow Man Make3 a Tour of
Several Georgia Towns.
OBSERVES MANY INTERESTING THINGS
How Bums of the Kurg* Came By Tkolr
Name*—A I’lea For Wtnumn
Suffra*.*.
A
How ephemeral is fame. This word
is of Greek origin and literally means
“for a day” and was applied to the
lives of certain insects. Its meaning
has broadened and now it is applied to
life or fame or wealth or happiness or
anything that is of brief or uncertain
duration. I was ruminating about this
because I have been down to Barnesville
and Thomaston, two prosperous towns,
one in Pike and the other in Upson
county. I inquired of several good
oitizens who Mr. Upson was and they
could not tell. Finally an old gentle
man said that he was a member of the
legislature from Oglethorpe county and
was a very great and good man and
died early, and the legislature of which
he was member made a new county a
and named it for him. But now there
is not one man in a hundred in that
county that knows anything about him.
I did not find anybody who know
what Mr. Thomas the town was named
for. Just so I did not find anyone at
Barnesville who knew what Mr. Pike
that county was named for. So I had
to wait until I got home and examined
my books and I learned that Zebulon
Pike was a great soldier in the war cf
1812—that before that he explored the
far west, and was the first man to dis
cover and ascend that very high moun
tain which has ever since been called
“Pike’s Peak.”
The town of Zebulon took his Chris
tian name or rather his Jewish name,
for Zebulon was the sixth son of Jacob
and his descendants became sailors.
Nobody could tell me who Barnesville
was named for. Nobody cares very
much who any town or county was
named for. The present seems to be
all that concerns us, and the historic
part will soon pass into oblivion, for
the old men are nearly all dead. Not
long ago I read how an Englishman
was walking about the beautiful cem
etery of Gettysburg and met a Confed
erate veteran there and said to him:
“These grand monuments and grave
stones will forever perpetuate tho
memories of the brave men who fell,
but I fear your Cor federate dead will
soon pass into oblivion unless you give
them cemeteries and monuments like
these.” “No,” said the veteran,
“Ours will last as long as these, for
every stranger who comes here will
naturally ask the same question that
you did: ‘Who killed all these people
who are buried here?’ ”
As I travel over the south I can tell
a prosperous town from a stagnant
one by the wheels that are turning,
the smoke stacks and the hum of
machinery, or the absence of all these
— Barnesville is forging ahead and so
is Thomaston, for both have cotton
mills already and are building more.
Thomostou can boast of having the
oldest cotton factory in Georgia for it
was built in 1833, and has been added
to in later years, and now is erecting
another with a home capital of
$100,000. Everywhere are visible the
signs of progress and business activ
ity. The new hotel recently built by
Mrs. Sandwich is a gem of beauty and
reminds the traveler of Florida and
the tropics. resi
All around are to be seen new
dences of modern architecture. The
auditorium nearly completed is a
marvel of Grecian beauty. An electric
plant lights the new hotel and many
homes and will soon light the streets
ef the little city. Mrs. Sandwich
established this plant and owns it.
Just ponder it a moment. A woman
is the foremost factor in the advance
ing progress of a new-born city. Now
if they will let her tear down the old
ante-bellum courthouse and erect a
new one she will do it. But snecau’i
vote—when is this fossiliferous relic
of a past age to reformed? The dirti
est negro in this town has a vote in
selecting its ruler, while a widow who
pays the highest tax is excluded.
All but one of the teachers in our
public schools are women, but they
have no voice in anything except the
privilege of teaching our children.
The Hardwick bill is dead, aud the
maxim is to speak no ill of the dead,
but a better bill would have been to
place the ballot box just where the jury
box is now. In every county
there is a commission of honorable
men who select the men who are fit to
serve on the jury and their names only
are placed in the jury box. Men of
bad moral character or exceeding ig
norance are excluded. We have known
instances where men of considerable
wealth were excluded because of their
notorious vices. The right to sit upon
a jury and trv cases involving life aud
liberty or property is of far more im
portance than the privilege of voting,
Then why not purge the ballot box as
well as the jury box. Many good negroes
would he put in and some bad white
men left out.
I am not afraid of being left out.
Reader, are you? The ballot has got
to be purged in some way. There are
only twenty counties that fcoeal option
has not succeeded in driving out
whisky and saloons, and in nearly all
of these twenty the white vote would
expel them, but negroes and vaga
bonds and saloon owners override the
will of a large majority of the people,
In Spalding county it was admitted
that negroes carried the day and kill
ed the much wanted reform. If the
mothers and wives and sisters
have voted, the majority for prohibi-
tion wtmia have Been overwhelming.
Who doubts it? If it is not considered
proper for women to vote in trusted political
matters, surely they cau be in
moral measures that affect the welfare
of their husbands and sons and broth
ers, and also in all educational organi
zations—why does not some member
of the legislature with a great big
heart and brain champion this reform?
The poople are ready for it and will
say a Daniel has come to judgment.
Our Thanksgiving is over—we hart
a turkey that had been stall fed, but
my wife and I were invited to a good
kind neighbor’s and the girls to has an
uiuer neighbor’s, and our turkey
been respited. He has been gobbling
all the day, but hears no response
from neighboring coops. I would be
sorry for turkeys if they were sorry
for themselves.
We had a union Thanksgiving ser
vice in our town and a large congrega
tion listened to Mr. Bealer’s eloquent
discourse from the 147th Psalm: “God
hath not dealt so with any other na
tion.” He sketched our country from
Columbus down and showed us that
blessing and love had followed us
for 400 years. It was a grand sermon.
—Bill Arp in Atlanta Constitution.
VOTE BEING REVIEWED.
First Day’s Work of Commission
ers Was Without
Incident.
The state board of election commis
sioners met in the office of the seer e
tary of state at Frankfort, Ky., Mon
day morning to canvass the returns.
Judge Thomas F. Hargis, Frank
Peake, Willard Mitchell and ex-Gov
ernor McCreary represented William
Goebel and the other Democratic can
didates, while A. E. Wilson, Helm
Bruce and General Dan Lindsey rep
resented W. S. Taylor and the Repub
lican ticket.
About three hundred mountaineers
reached the town during the morning,
but they were well behaved, and
caused no trouble. The alleged fight
ing men who were supposed to be
coming to aid Goebel did not appear,
and there is no danger of trouble from
present indications.
Senator DeBoe, General Taylor and
the Republican leaders express confi
dence in the result, and believe that
Taylor and the entire ticket will be
given the certificates. Should this be
the action of the board, it is not be
lieved that Goebel and his followers
will attempt to contest the matter fur
ther, as it is doubted if Democratic
members of the legislature could be
enlisted in a contest under the circum
stances.
Goebel and his ticket express equal
confidence in the result, and say the
passing of five counties by the board
indicates that the board will hear the
contests, and is inclined to them.
Fifty-one counties were canvassed
by the board during the day out of a
totaUof 119 in the state. Of these
fifty-one counties five, as has been
stated, were passed over to be consid
ered immediately upon conclusion of
the work of the canvassing board.
IN FINANCIAL STRAITS.
Well Known Publishing Firm of
Harper Bros. To Go Into Re
ceiver’s Hands.
A New York dispatch says: The
business and assets of tlie publishing
firm of Harper – Bros, have been
( preliminary
taken possession of, as a receiver, by
to the appointment of a
the State Trust company, acting in
behalf of the first mortgagees of the
property. Although the proceeding
was in the nature of a mortgage fore
closure, the step was taken upon the
suggestion of the directors of the firm
and with the friendly concurrence of
J. Pierpont Morgan, the largest cred
itor. It has been known for some
time that Harper – Bros, were in
financial difficulties.
From statements made public, it ap
pears that the action of the State Trust
company was taken at the instance of
Colonel Harvey himself, who, as a re
sult of a personal investigation of the
affairs of the firm, frankly admitted
that to attempt to put the corpora
tion’s finances upon a sound and dur
able basis while staggering under so
heavy a load of indebtedness, without
beginning to build up the business
again from the bottom, would be “lit
tle short of insane.” In taking the
course he did, Colonel Harvey acted
with the consent and approval of the
members of the Harper family and of
tho principal creditors.
Although J. Pierpont Morgan was
willing to advance more money to the
firm, Colonel Harvey, in a statement
given out, made it plain that he was
unwilling to assume any responsibil
ity for the payment of interest upon
the $3,500,000 mortgage w hich rests
upon the property, and tho settlement
of unsecured claims amounting ap
proximately to $2,000,000, without
first a thorough readjustment of the
company’s finances. mortgage
A special clause in tne
held upon the property enabled the
State Trust company, as trustee under
the mortgage, to take possession of
the assets and operate^the business at
any time. It was under this clause
that it stepped in and ap-pointed
Colonel Harvey to manageand con
trol the firm.
Wood Comes Home.
The war department has been ad
vised _ that the transport McPherson
