CONYERS, GA., SEPT. 23, 1897
The Dalton Argus says : i i If
Gen. Clement A. Evans con¬
cludes to enter the race for
Governor, in 1897, it believes
it will support him, as it
supported him in 1894. J >
The Banner now believes it
would do the same tiling.
The standing of the editor
is never appreciated until
his spirit has winged its
flight to the realms of need¬
less space. This is clearly
evidenced in the following
letter of condolence sent by a
lawyer to the widow of an
editor: “I cannot tell how
pained I was to' her of the
death of your husband. He
is in heaven. We were bo-'
som friends, but alas! we
can never meet again.”—
Marietta Journal.
The shooting of the negro
postmasterat Hogansville last
week was a deplorable affair, have
since it is supposed to
been done for a political
cause. It is, of course, un¬
satisfactory to any commun¬
ity to have negroes put in
public positions, blit shoot¬
ing them down is not the
way to better things. Such
affairs as shooting of the ne¬
gro because he had been ap¬
pointed postmaster instead
of a white man, is nothing
short of anarchy in a mild
form. The negro is not to
blame for holding public of¬
fices, if he can get them, but
the man that appoints them
to the position, and they
should not be way-layed and
shot down because they have
been given places that ought
to be filled by white men.
Atlanta has thrown her
gates wide open to the ref
Ugees from the cities infect
ed with yellow fever, and in
yites all to come who wish,
As a result of the invitation
numbers of people from the
infected districts are pour
ing into Atlanta almost ev
ery day. The people of
Georgia are thus placed in
great danger of this terrible
plague. Atlanta is the great
trade center of the state and
there is danger of the city
becoming a distributing
point for this disease to the
small towns all around. The
arguments used by the doc
tors that the disease will not
spread in Atlanta is not at all
reliable V, ; and we doubt if the
Atlanta . board , i ot health in- •
spectors were to see a leal
case of \ el low fever the\
would recognize what it was.
That Atlanta lias done
wrong in inviting yellow fe
ver refugees there every one
will agree, ami Conyers and
all other towns near the city
should take steps to prevent
Atlanta’s mistake hurting
them by distributing the fc-
ver, for there i,s going to
be some fever in Atlanta if
there is none already there,
and if the truth was known
there may be some cases
there now. Our sanitary
.
commitee should look after
the matter and see that no ref
ugees be dropped in £onyers
without proper inspection,
DON’T LOAF.
Editor Shaver offers this
good advice to boys and
young men:
“There is no use for young
men loafing about the street.
If a young man can't find
employment he can at least
read. Good books are a
young man’s best friends,
and he who spends his time
reading such will certainly
not haye wasted it. A young
man who continually loafers
is soon looked upon as an i
dler and find himself thought
of and spoken of in the same
manner as the lowest class of
degraded men are thought
and spoken of. Don’t loaf.
If you can’t find work don’t
stand on the side walk and
make a perfect eyesore of
yourself. 1)
HE GOT HAPPY.
Jerry Peek, col., attended the
negro baptizing at the railroad
pond last Sunday afternoon and
as a result of having too much
“blind tiger” liquor on board got
happy and had to be carried away
by an officer. Jerry got upon a
rock near the pond and raised a
tune in a loud voice, and when
the preacher asked him down, he
became boisterous and demanded
that he should be allowed to sing.
Chief Austin was sent for and he
soon had him in the lock-up.
A city case of disorderly conduct
was made out against Peek and he
was tried before the Mayor Mon¬
day morning. Mayor Tucker
thought Peek’s part of the ser¬
vices at the pond were worth some
thing to the city and accordingly
fined him $10.70, including cost.
COURT ADJOURNED.
Georgia, Rockdale County.
It being necessary to the public
welfare to hold an adjourned term
of Clayton Superior Court on the
first Monday in October, it is or¬
dered that the fall term of Rock¬
dale Superior Court be adjourned
from the first Monday in October
to the second Monday in October,
1897. All jurors, grand and trav
erse, summoned for the first Mon
day ill October will be present on
the second Monday, and all wit
nesses summoned to attend said
court will be on hand the second
Monday, instead of the first, as
set forth in their summons. Let
this order be entered on'the min
utes of said court and be publish
ed in each of the county papers
one time. This Sept. 20th, 1897.
