VOLUME 17
i: Griffin, Ga .
griffin is the liveliest, pluckiest, most pro¬
gressive town in Georgia, lliis is no hypcr-
i^lical description, as the record of the last
live years will show.
During that time it has built and put into
must successful operation a $100,000 cotton
actory and is now building another with
nearly twice the capital. It has pnt up a
la ge iron and brass foundry, a fertilizer fac¬
tory, an immense ice and bottling works, a
sash and blind factory, a broom faotory
opened up the finest granite quarry in the
United States, and has many other enter¬
prises in .ontemplation. It has secured
another railroad ninety miles long, and while
located on the greatest system in the South,
tho Central, has secured connection with its
important rival, the East Tennsssee, Virginia
and Georgia. It has just secured direct inde¬
pendent connection with Chattanooga and
the Wt st, and has the President of a fourth
railroad residing here and working
to its ultimate completion. With
to live, white and three colored
churches, it is now building a $10,000 new
Presbyterian church. It has increased its
population by nearly one-fifth. It has at-
jrae'e ’ around its borders fruit growers from
nearly every State in the Union, until it is
now surrouifded on nearly every side by or¬
chards an J Tineyards. It is the home of the
grape an J its wine making capacity has
doubled every year. It has successfully
Inaugurated a system of public schools, with
n seven years curriculum, second to none.
This is part of the record of a half decade
und simply shows the progress of an already
admirable city, with the natural advantages
of having the finest climate, summer and
winter, in tho world.
Griffin is the county seat of Spalding
county, situated in west Middle Georgia, with
a healthy, fertile and ruling eountry, 1150
feet above sea level. By the census of 1890, it
will have at a low estimate between 6,000 and
7,'MK) people, and they are all of the right
sort—wide-awake, up to the times, ready to
weleomestrangers and anxious to secure de¬
sirable settlers, who will not be any less wel¬
come if they bring money to help buildup
the town. There is about only one thing we
need badly just now, and that is a big hotel.
We have several small ones, but their accom¬
modations are entirely too limited for our
business, pleasure and health seeking guests.
If you see anybody that wants a good loca¬
tion for a hotel in the South, just mention
Griffin. Gbiffix
Griffin is the place where the
News is published—daily and weekly—the

A GOOD SIZED* ROW !
THE RESULT OF THE EXECUTIVE
COMMITTEE MEETING-
J. H. Malaier is Elected Chairman
and Member Resign, Denouncing
Him as a Republican.
Going to the court house in ad
vance of the meeting of the Demo
cratic Executive Committee, a News
reporter picked up a copy of a novel
entitled “A Falso Start*,“ lelt there
from the session of court by some over
worked lawyer. It turned out to be
a prophetic title.
H. Johnson called tho meeting to
order and Loyd Cleveland was made
temporary chairman without opposi
tion.
S’ H. Deane, W. J. Futral and H,
Johnson were appointed a committee
on credentials, and a full delegation
was found present except G. W.
Wood, of Africa, H. T. Ooppedge,
of Line Creek, and J. F.
Davis, of Mt. Zion. A wordy
contest ensued over a written proxy
authorizing J uMataier, of Union,
to act for G W Wood, of Africa, W
B Hudson opposing the same. W
■ S’ Barfield was finally empowered to
act for Mr Wood, and J D Williams
or Mr Davis.
Dougias Glessner was then elected
temporary secretary and H T Patter
son assistant.
An election for permanent chair,
man was then moved by ballot, J H
' Cowell nominated j H inkier, and
w B Hudson nominated T j Brooke.
Mr Malaier ’received 14 votes and
Mr Brooks 12. Mr Malaier was de
dared elected and on taking the
chair made a brief speech in favor
of harmony and asking the full sup
sort of the committee.
Pending the election of a perma
nent secretary, w B Hudson took
he floor and violently denouncing
the chairman as a Republican stated
that he would not serve under him
and tendered his resignation as a
member of the committe.
Then, to use a classical term, bell
iroke loose in Georgia.
W. J. Bridges, J. H. Powell and
others who had opposed Hudson in
the meeting, cried out that they ac
cepted his resignation, with yells and
inrrahs for Malaier. Hudson jumped
upon the the table and continued hia
denunciations and was supported by
W. L. Ison and others. They were
met by answering cries from the oth
er side, and vituperation reigned su
preme, the chairman maintaining a
dignified silence. It looked for five
minutes as if the new cotton bagging
of the court house was to be stained
with fratricidal gore, but members
were finally pulled down and left
without adjourning.
Mr. Malaier was seen afterwards
and stated that he had always voted
the Democratic ticket, while his oppo
nents as vehemently im-kt that he is
a Republican.
The committee will probably to
called together at an early day, in
the interest of a little more “harmo
ny.’ 4

THE STAR.
A GREAT NATIONAL DEMOCRATIC
NEWSPAPER.
The Stab is the only New York newspaper
possessing the fullest confidence of the Na¬
tional Administration and the United Dem¬
ocracy of New York, the political battle
ground Jeffersonian of the Democracy, Republic.
pure and simple,
is good enough for the Stab. Single hand¬
ed among the metropolitan press, it has
stood by the men called by the great Democ¬
racy to redeem the government from •
twenty-five years of Republican wastefulness
and corruption and despotism to the South.
For these four years past ithasbeenunswerv
ing in its fidelity the administration of Grov¬
er Cleveland. It is for him now—for Cleve¬
land and Thurman—for four years more of
Democratic honesty In our national affairs,
and of continued national tranqnility and
prosperity. For
people who like that sort of Democracy
the Stab is the paper to read.
The Stab stands squarely on the National
Democratic platform. It believes that any
tribute exacted from the people in excess of
the demands of a government economically
administered is essentially oppressive and
dishonest. The scheme fostered and charct-
pioued by the Republican part-of making the
government a miser, wringing millions an
nually from the people and locking them up
in vaults to serve no purpose but invite waste
fulness and dishonesty, it regards as a mon¬
strous crime against the right of American
citizenship. Republican political jugglers
may call it ‘‘protective taxation;” the Stab’s
name for it is robbery.
Through and through the Star is a great
newspaper. Its tone is i u.-c and wholesome,
its news serviee unexceptionable. Each issue
presents an epitome of what is best worth
knowing of the world’s history of yesterday.
Its stories are told in good, quick, pictur-
eque Edglish, and mighty interesting read¬
ing they are.
The Sunday Star is as good as the best
class magazine, and prints about the same
amount of matter. Besides the day’s news
it is rich in spesial descriptive articles, sto
ries, snatches of current literature, reviews,
art criticism, etc. Burdette’s inimatible hu¬
mor sparkles in its columns; Will Oarleton’s
delightful letters are of its choice offerings.
Many of the best known men and women in
literature and art are represented in its col
umns,
The Weekly Star is a large paper giving
the cream of the news the w >rld over, with
special features which make it the mos
complete family newspaper published. The
farmer, the mechanic, the business Juan too
much occupied to read a daily paper, will
get more for „his dollar invested in The
Weekly Stab than from any other paper
It will be especially alert during the cam
paign, and will print the freshest and most
reliable political news.

GRAND JURY PRESENTMENTS;
August Term 1888.
We the Gransl Jurors duly drawn
qualified for the August term of
County Superior Court re¬
make the following general
Public roads and bridges.
After examining and inquiring in
the condition of public roads, we
them in the usual passable con¬
except in the following
In the Line Creek district
we find the road passing through
river swamp at Pyron’s Bridge
bad condition. We recommend
said road be put in good con¬
at once. In Mt. Zion district
find the roads generally in bad
and recommend that the
commissioners of said district to
W. H. Touchstone, W. P. Blau
C. A. Dickenson, be fined for
of duty, and required to take
steps to put the roads in
good condition. .
In Union district we find the road
the railroad trestle between J. W.
and Comhs old mill stand
bad condition. We recommend
the county commissioners look
said piece of road, and require
road bed to be widened between
trestle supports.
In Africa district we find on the
leading toward Hampton that
a section of about one mile of
road from Mr. Beatty’s to Vine¬
there are no hands on said road
we recommend that the commis
of said district supply said
road with its apportionment of
hands.
We recommend that the commis
siotusra of Cabita district be requir
ed to put railing between the road
and the washout on the side of the
road near Cabins creek bridge.
We also recommend that the com
mhsiouers in Akins district look
after the condition of the road lead¬
ing from Griffin to Orchard Hill at a
place known as Boyd’s cut, have
railing put on same or the road bed
widened.
COUNTY FARM.
We find the farm in good condition
with very fine crops of both cotton
and corn, consisting of about forty
acres of the former and sixteen of the
latter. Tbe cotton bids fair to
average three foarths of a bale to
the acre. Think the corn will yield
fifteen busbels per acre. There are
also other fine crops of peas, potatoes
and sugar cane. We find on hand
about five tons of millet hay, one
thousand pounds of c,ld fodder,
abont fifty bushels of corn, sixty six
bushels ot wheat, a lot of straw,
shucks, etc.
We fird four cows in good con
dition giving milk, two mules in fine
order, two hogs, one wagon, j»nd
all other tools necesary for the farm.
The dwelling house for overseer has
recently been repaired and painted
and a new fence put around tho
same. There are two regular
hands on the farm besides tbe over
seer. One of which is paid ten dol
lars per month, the other eight.
There has been only tnree days of
extra bi ed labor on tbe farm this
year.
We find un the farm thirten pau
pers, four of which are whi .e, i.oue
able to work except two little white
boys. Only one of the paupers re¬
quiring the attention of a physician
at this time, they secern te be well
cared for and we find everything
clean and neat around them.
Upon tbe whole we fiud tbe Coun¬
ty Farm and the panpe's thereon
well and economically managed.
And the institution reflects great
credit upon the Overseer Mr. A. L.
Morris, and the county eommision
ers.
PUBLIC BUILDINGS.
We find the court house and jail
in fair condition with tho exception
of some lights broken out of some of

the windows in the jail which we
recommend be replaced with new
ones. Wo also find some of tho win
daws of the court house nave ligdts
broken out and the blinnds off, and
the remaining blinds are decayed
and generally in bad condition. We
also find the tront fence in had re
pa : r and recommend that the County
Commissioners look after the sama
ami put them in gook repair.
PUBLIC RECORDS.
We have examined the liook# of
the Sheriff, County Clerk, Ordinary
anJ Clerk of Superior Court, and
find them neatly and correctly kept.
We especially commend the ex
cellent system introduced by Ordin
ary Hammond in arranging and
simplyfying the papers and records
in his office.
We find the reversible index to
the various deed books in tho Clerk
of Superior Court’s offioe brought up
to date except a portion of ihe Re
cord book of mortgages, which we
recommend be done at as
early a day as possible and that he
be allowed a reasonable compensa
tion for the same up to the time it
becomes his duty bylaw to do such
work.
COUNTY COMMISSIONERS AND COUNTY
. treabobbr.
We find the County Commission
ers‘ books kept in a neat and orderly
manner with complete minutes of all
matters brought before that body,and
tbe grounds stated upon wbich their
actions were bassod. Th eir system
of orders is also complete check upon
the books of tbe county Treasurer,
wbich wo consider important.
We find the County Treasurer's
books kept in a neat and systematic
manner, with tho vouchers all arrang
ed to agree with each disbursement
made, and praiseworthy to tbe incum
bent of that office.
We find tho amount ou hand

Showing a net balance of....... $1,390 04

TAX RECEIVER’S AND TAX COLLECTOR'S
BOOKS.
We find tbe Receiver's books cor
rect and beautifully kept, and that be
has been vigilant in the dischage of
his duties and our taxable property
shows an increase of twenty thousand
dollars over last year.
We also examined tbe Collector's
bocks aad find them c:rcectly an I
weK kept. We find when the settle
me A was made with county in Feb
rotary last there was uncollected
$766. Since then there has been
collected $326 and he says be will
still get more more this fall.
We think our Collector deserves
the thanks of the citizens of this

collections.
