CARROLLTON, <i A., Fkij. 1, 1SS4
Whitfield county will hold an
election at an eaily day, to deter
mine whether or not intoxicating
liquors shall be sold in that coun
ty.
And liOw the eapitol commission
ha ve telegraphed to New York for
an expert to come on and assist
them in selecting a design for the
new eapitol building. Perhaps, this
is well.
It would seem that the Northern
republicans are somewhat disgrun
tled at the collapse of the Tilden
boom. Possibly they incline to the
opinion that Uncle Sam would
have been an easy horse to oustrip
in the Presidential race.
The Messrs Laniers of West Point
nre now running a small boat be-
tween that place and their cotton
factory -1 miles below tire city.
They contemplate, we .understand,
running their boat up the river as
high as Franklin by next Season.
Some of our Georgia papers are
rather profuse, in their harsh crit
icisms upon our senior Senators po
sition on the Mormon bill, but as
for ourselves, we can hardly think
that the distinguished gentleman
at liis .age, is winking at Mormon-
ism for the sake of Mbrmonism.
Col. W. Y. Atkinson of Newnau
has been solicited by friends in
Meriwether county to become a
candidate for senator this fall.—
The Colonel seems to be willing-
provided that time and opportuni
ty allowed him to make the can
vass.
The United States senate has
recently passed a law allowing
each Senator a clerk at a salary of
$1000 per annum. Under this act
Senator Brown of this State has
appointed Editor Randall of the
Augusta Chronicle as his clerk, and
Senator Colquitt has appointed his
brother.
The people of Meriwether mean
business about their railroad. At a
Ineeting in Greenville Thursday of
last week, the 16,000 was subscribed,
and now if Col Peabody, presi
dent (>f the Columbus & Rome
railroad is a man of his word, the
cars will be running to Greenville
this fall.
Mr. Randall still adheres to his
view that “any tariff bill will allarm
the-business of the country,” no mat
ter how moderate it may be. It is,
says the Boston Herald, a queer
idea for one who sets himself up as a
statesman to hold -that leaving
$100,000,000 of money, in the pockets
of the people, and decreasing by
$400,000,000 the cost of their necessi
ties, will operate to the injury of
business.
. The New York Herald is pub
lishing a series of interviews with
lending manufacturers in Pittsburg
and other places, which show that
scores ot them are having their
eyes opened to the evils of the h* -'
protective tariff, which p1
tirely confines the J -"& 11
ted States V ...most en-
j 8 prr- • _ trade of the Uni-
m its own territory. It
^-edicted that many years will
not elap.se before the manufacturers
of the country will be the strongest
advocates of tariff reform.
The Maretta Journal says that it
is informed that the darkeys sold
their votes quite freely during the
recent municipal contest in that
place and that they jingled the
silver around as if it was something
to be proud of. The Journal adds
that it does not know how true the
above is, but the man,
white or black, who
WohW abuse his franchise in this
manner, trafficking in liis vote as
would a huckster in vegetables,
ought to be disfranchised.. The
perpetuity of good goverment con
sists in the purity of the ballot box.
The recent move on the part of |
the business men
a convention of commercial men
and manufacturers to meet in that
city in the early spring to consider
whatever is of commercial interest
to the country at large, is a move
not only, in' keeping with the vig
orous, onward spirit of our capital
and metropolis, but one of consid
erable importance. Such a con
vention of leading business inter
ests—represented as they doubtless
will be, by men of trained and ex
perienced minds, can do very much
to/egulate the commercial inter
ests of the two great sections of the
country, and tend to mitigate many
of the abuses under which various
industries are suffering. That the
time for such a convention is at
hand, no sane man will question.—
Slipuld the business representa
tions of kindred industries of the
sections meet in a spirit of recon-
cilatory adjustment of these abu
ses, the convention will rebound to
their mu* betterment, and a wise
and ° discussion of differences
. brotherhood of in
hut be both highly

give our linm-
jouragement to
ihope to see it

Editor Free Press:— I believe
I have “thawed out” sufficiently
to sling my pencil again, and so here
goes.
I am so well pleased with the
weather at this writing, Tuesday
night, that I believe I will hazard
the assertion that she is delightful.
Hope nobody will take offence at
that. My frost bitten toes are
actually able to be “out.”
If there is any news stiring
around here, it is “dratted scaoe,’
as the old fish-women remarked
about the shad. Merchants, are
complaining of short sales; but I
believe that is custumary with them
whether their sales are short or
long.
Capt. A. B. Cates, of the Herald,
has purchased the real estate of Mr.
Gabe .Shannon in this place, con
sisting of three houses and lots.
Mr. S. contemplates going to Texas
I believe.
Mr. Lewis Johnson, one of our
aged and clever citizens, is very
low with dropsy.
Mr. H. W. Barron, one of the
valiant Constitution “subs,” was
down on a visit to this place las
Saturday and Sunday.
If I could think of anything orig
inal to say about guano, I would
say it—hut I cant—the subject has
been exhausted, and it is a pity
that the same cannot be said of
the stinking stnff. Already the air
is full of it (the scent), and when a
strong whiff of it strikes a fellow
full in the face, it knocks all the
poetry out of him at a single stroke,
and fills his soul with a scent-iment
of disgust. Dealing in guano is what
“busted” the poetical aspirations of
my friend Gaines. 1-11 bet on it!
I notice that Congress is trying
to get it’s (the pronoun “it” will
do for the poor little thing, wont
it ?) sleepy eyes open in regard to
one branch of thieving that has
been indulged in by that body for
several years past—the reclaiming
of a portion of the people’s land
stolen by railroad sharks. Did it
ever occur to you, Mr. Editor, how
sadly we need an honest congress ?
a body of national law makers
with honesty and nerve sufficient
kick thieving lobbyists out of the
eapitol, and never leave off kicking
the whelps until 'Washington is
relieved of their presence ?
If men cannot go to congress and
honestly serve their constituents
for the salary they get, I am in
favor of increasing until bribery
will Rave no charms for them.
And then there’s FitzJolin Porter
but it’s no use to talk about him,
no more than it is about the tariff
This country will never hear the
last of neither one of them.
I reckon “Ripples” is “snowed,’,

SATURDAY NIGHT.
IMMENSELY POPULAR!
The Leading Family Paper
in the United State.
The hold which this beautifully illus
trated weekly retains upon the people's
confidence seems astonishing, but it is
due entirely to the real worth of its va
ried contents. The value of its stories is
not measured by the enormous sum of
money they cost, hut by the eagerness of
the people to read them. It takes
Ten Tons of Paper Every Week to Print it
That is over 20,000 pounds. And ten
times twenty thousand persons anxiously
wait its weekly coming.
The advance agent of one of the best
patronized traveling shows in America,
in speaking of the wide-spread populari
ty of this family paper, said that “Wher
ever he found three trees growing there
he found Saturday Night.”
lie meant to say that all the people, all
over the land, in every town and every
village, love their favorite paper, and
that tlieir liking for it was deep rooted
and permanent, not superficial and tem
porary, changing as the seasons change,
and dying with the year.
Wherever it Comes, it Comes to Stay.
Every weekly issue of Saturday
Night contains a quality and quantity
of literary material satisfying to . every
member of the family, young and old.
Its stories are of standard excellence.
'The most gifted authors seek Saturday
Night as the channel by which , they
may gain reputation.
Its pictures are gems of beauty pro
duced by the best artists.

Each paper has six continued stories, from
six to twelve complete short stories, as
many poems, items of interest and infor
mation, the latest fashions, answers to
correspondents, and a variety of humor
ous and entertaining articles.

In all the the cities and large towns in

Real Estate Agency.
In opening an agency of this character,
in the city ql Carrollton, facilities are of
fered to those desiring to sell property,
to the best advantage, by placing it prom
inently upon the market, and to such as
desire to purchase, it affords the best me
dium for obtaining a perfect title to tin*
same—a matter af paramount considera
tion in buying property in the present
day. The renting out of lands and the
collection of rentals in kind, or other
wise, constitutes a part of the business
of tlie agency, as well as the collection
of claims and adjustment of over due pa
per. Executors, guardians, trustees, and
all who occupy fiduciary relations, will
find it profitable to confer with this office
in reference to the management of es
tates,^', A long experiene in this line ena

with confidence, and I promise only a

The Capital commission are rath
er harshly criticised by some of our
contemporaries for their action in
calling Architet Post of New York
to their assistance in the selection
of a plan for our state capital buil
ding. It was hardly expected that
these gentlemen should be experts
in a matter of architecture, and
we feel inclined to endorse tlieir
conduct in procuring skilled and
fully competent aid, since a mis
take in an election of a plan
would prove, possibly not only fatal
to life but a vast waste ofthe state’s
money as well. We by conse
quence of this view, can but regard
it proper that our commisioriers
should bring to their assistance any
means by which they may assure
usa building of which the state
will be justly’proud, one that will
combine all tlie conveniences, com
forts and safety possibley with the
Ti ’appropriation allowed them.—
Again, the sincerity and patriotism
of these gentlemen are beyond
question, and we believe they will
act in full consideration of the
state’s best interests.
The prospect, now, is that Meri
wether county will be in railroad
communication with the rest of
the world at an early day. For
bringing about so desirable a result
to the people of that county, no
one we dare say, lias worked har
der than editor Revill. We can
bear witness that for the past ten
years that he has made ap
peal after appeaI,through his paper,
in the interest^ of such an enter
prise. While others have been in
different and incredulous as to the
railroad outlook, he has kept up a
stout heart, and bold front. Antic
ipating the present railroad con
nection several years ago, he was
thoughtful enough to draw a char
ter and go to Atlanta and secure its
passage by the Legislature, cover
ing the very route that will now be
taken to reach Greenville from the
Columbus and Rome road. We say
all honor to Revill and suggest that
the first new engine that runs over
the road be named after him.

NEW YORK, 1884.
About sixty million copies of The Sun
have gone out of our establishment
during the past twelve months.
If you M ere to paste end to end all the
columns of all The Suns printed and sold

strip of interresting information, common

of the M ay back to tlie moon again .
But The Sun is M ritten for tiie inhabit
ants of tlie earth; this same strip of in
telligence Mould girdle the globe
twenty-seven or twenty-eight times.
If every buyer of a copy of The Sun
during the past year has spent only one
hour oyvt it, and if his M'ife or his grand
father lias spent another hour, this neu's-
paper in 1883 has afforded tlie human
race thirteen thousand years of steady
reading, night and day.
It is only by little calculations like
these that you can form any idea of the
circulation of the most popular of .Ameri
can neu spapers, or of its infiuenccon the
opinions and actions of .American men
and M'omeu.
The Sun is, and u ill continue to be, a
newspaper which tells tlie truth w ithout
fear of consequences, which gets at the
facts no matter how much the process
costs, which presents the news of all the
world without wasto of words and in the
most readable shape, which is working
witli all its heart for the cause of honest
goverment, and which therefore believes
that the Republican party must go, and
go in this coining year of our Lord, 1884.
If you know the Sun, you like it al
ready, and you will read it with accustom
ed dilligeuee and profit during what is

free from the degrading and polluting
