* riFFin Daily N^. 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 nest newspaper in the Empire State of the ( eorgia. Please enclose stamps in sending for sample-copies.

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 —■ ■ ♦ ■ 1 —— ■ ■ - For a fuw days only Figured Mas line at a bargain, only 3£c. per yd. at New Yobk Store.

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.

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 Down They Go! ft Lemons New only Irish 20c. per dozen. Potatoes, New Cabbage, Bbl.

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 January all first, 1888, autl receipts $3,260 from source since that time.. 35 and the disbursements made on Commissioners orders are....... 5,070 31 Showing bal.on hand Aug, 11th $3,190 W And the Treasurer’s estimate of this term of the court expenses would he about................. 1,890 00 Showing a net balance of....... $1,390 04 in the county treasury after paying the expenses of this court. 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 county for bis vigilance in puehiDg collections. JUSTICES or THE PEACE AND NOTARIES PUBLIC. We have examined the dockats of James It. Smith, C. A. Cooper, W. J. Fatrall. 8. E. Williamson, E. T. K?a ds!\ J. D. Sherrill, N, M. Collens. A. W. Walker and J, A.
