CARROLL FREE PRESS. CARROLLTON, GA~ J an.1«7i88< - J The legal advertising of Bartow county has been taken from the Free Press and given to the Amer ican, and the sheriff’s advertising of Coweta has been taken from the Herald and given to the Advertiser. In the case of the Free Press, it is claimed that the change has been made on acoount of favoriteism, and not for the purpose of subserv ing the best interests of the people at large. If this be true, of course a wrong motive actuated the offi cers in making the change. As the Atlanta Journal well says, “the public has an interest in this mat ter of legal advertising, which should control its servants. This advertising should not be bestowed as patronage, but should be placed where it will subserve the purpose of the law, irrespective of the jour nals it may help or hurt.” As the law now stands, the control of the legal advertising ia entirely in the hands of the county officers, and as is well known to newspaper men throughout the state, some of these county officers sometimes work it for all it is worth, regardless of the public good. If a newspaper does not do to suit them, they frequent ly whip it into traces, by threat ening to take.the legal advertising away from it, provided the editor has not got sand enough in his giz zard to resist Tsuch petty tyrrany What the remedy is, for this state* of affairs, we hardly know; but as the matter now stands, it certainly puts too much power into the hands of a few officials in a county, who by an arbitrary use of the same, can override the public weal, to ad vance their own selfish ends. The Campbell county News-Let ter gives the following account of a case hydrophobia in that town and Its cure by a mad stone: On last Monday week, as stated in our last issue, Mr. T. J. Green, of Fairburn, was bitten on the arm by a mad dog. It was thought at the time that a blister raised under the skin was the only damage done, and that the skin itself was not broken. It has since been discovered, however, that there was a slignt scratch on the skin, about like that usually made in vaccination. Mr. Green gave the matter little thought and suffered no uneasiness whatever. On last Wednesday, just nine days after receiving the bite, Mr. Green was suddenly seized by spasmodic convulsions, and physicians were immediately called in. After ob serving the patient’s symptoms, they unhesitatingly declared his malady to be hydrophobia. As there is no remedy for this disease known to medical science, the phy sicians said frankly that they could do nothing more than to adminster morphine, and thus mitigate the violence of his convulsions. And, while professing little or no confi dence in its virtue, they advised the application of a mad-stone, on the principle that that was the only hope, and it could do no harm. It was known that Mr. S. S. Patton was the possessor of one of these stones, and it was immediately precured. The stone (about the size of a butter bean) was soaked in hot milk until it became soft, and was then applied to the bite. It was softened ns before and reap plied, and this process was repeated until the stone adhered seventeen times. Up to this time Mr. Green had been unconscious, but he awoko on the morning after the stone was applied perfectly ration al. He is now fully recovered. This is the second genuine case of hydrophobia in the human family that this stone has] cured—the name of the other party we have forgotten. The Atlanta Coustitution, with its accustomed enterprise, sent one of itp editorial staff to Polk county, to Investigate the wonderful doings of Miss Hurst. The reporter met Miss Lula in Rome, where she had gone to give an exhibition of her mysterious powers and here with a reporter of the Rome Courier, he had a seance with her for his own benefit. The result of the investiga tion is given in a two colnmn article, in Wednesday’s Constitution, and oonfirms what has previously been published in the north Georgia pa pers, of the phenomenal powers of this young woman. We refer the reader to some account of her do ings, printed on our first page, ta ken from the Cartersville Free Press and Cedartown Advertiser. We hope that the president will appoint somebody soon to the va cancy caused by the resignation of Judge Erskine Of the north Geor gia district. The daily papers are filled with matter concerning it, as If the appointment was of mo- mentious issue. H. P.

Editor Frke Press:—Happy 'sew Y Baah ! —that’s eld, to start with. I would have written last week, but I didn’t feel like tackling the weather. After the poor thing had gone to bed under the weight of seventeen million paragraphs, I couldn’t have the heart to disturb it. I plead for a long rest for the much abused weather. There is very little stirring in this locality, and what there is, you get from the local papers, both of which are constantly on the alert for any news that may be floating around. Hence I must confine my “scattering remarks” to other top ics principally. I will venture one paragraph about the weather, anyhow. The cold snap literally ”biled”wliat few “greens” there were in this section, so that we have to fall back on fried meat and gravy. That’s pretty tough, but I reckon it’s fair. This section has been swarming with hungry tramps for the past several days. What is to be done with them ? I think each municip ality should pass an ordinance com pelling them to work on the streets wherever they stop. My opinion is that this plan would soon make them like angel’s visits. I notice my friend “Ripples” has blossomed in the Free Press. That’s well, for he is a good one.— If he doesn’t give your readers a correct census of the chicken pop- pulation in his bailiwick, I don’t want a cent. “Ripples” says he is “pretty,” which is a solemn fact, for I have seen him! I see that some disgusted news paper man wants a rest oil the “carp” question. So do I I am sick of it. The Jersey craze has about played out—now let’s have something new. I have a notion to send to Washington to get me some tad-pole eggs. I want to start a bull-frog farm.— What do think of it ? After long and careful reflection^ I have finally arrived at the conclu sion that the next prohibition this country needs is to prohibft the printing of any more school books until some of the old ones are worn out. There is too much and too fre quent change in our school books. The main trouble is, there are too many “professors” and two few school-teachers in this country for the good of those who have chil dren to educate. There are a great many things nowadays called ‘progress’ that don’t progress worth a cent. A sensation comes from Whites- burg, but I am not well enough ae- acquainted with the particulars to to make any comments. What is the matter with Whitcsburg, any how ? There is some appearance of ano ther snow. But I promised to let the weather alone. 2x0. From the Atlanta Constitution. An Educational Suggestion. Professcr Brown, Carrollton, a gallant. ex-confederate soldier, who lost a leg during the war, sug gests to The Constitution a plan for the education of the sons of maimed ex-confederate soldiers which we are disposed to believe is worthy of the consideration not only of our colleges, but of public spirited men all over the state. There are in Georgia a number of maimed ex confederate soldiers who are unable to give their sons the benefit of that higher education which is imparted in our colleges and universities, and which is thought to be necessary for young men who are looking for ward to a career. The suggestion of Professor Brown is to the eff*ct that the state university and other colleges that take an interest in the education of worthy yong men shall provide facilities that will enable the sons of niaimed exconfederate soldiers toreap the benefit of the best educa tional facilities. His plan applies more particularly to the state uni versity, which is itself the bene ficiary of the people, but it is one that may be carried out by every institution of learning that has standing or influence in the state. He suggests that a mess hall be provided at the university, where the sons of maimed ex-confederate soldiers may be able to procure board and lodging at cost,] such as are able paying their prorata share, and the board of such as are not able to pay being provided for by a fund which may easily be raised among the public-spirited people of the state. The pith of Professor Brown’s sug gestion is that the sons of maimed ex-confederate soldiers shall be provided with the means of procur ing a good education on the lowest possible terms. There is nothing, so far as we can see, to prevent the carrying out of this suggestion ex cept lack of energy on the part of those who have charge of our institutions of learning. Whenever these shall move, they will find that they have the symprthy and support of the best people of the state. Let the trustees of the state uuiversity test the matter in a practical way.
