A TH IL 13, ISSs. The convict system ought to go, Gallagher. Rev. Sam Jones will hold a revi val meeting in Rome, beginning May 24th. The people of Catoosa county have sown more clover this spring than usual. The New York democratic con vention will be held in New York city May 15th next. C. B. Wootten, of Albany, will compete for the congressional nom ination from the Second district ol this state, now represented by Hon. 11. G. Turner. Tennessee realizes about $125,- 000 for her convicts, and she ha not so many as Georgia. Georgia realizes from the same source $25,- 010.08. Selah. Rufus B. the Bullock continues, in letters to the Constitution, to make it plain that Gen. Gordo:, like to have swindled him out of the ’governorship in 1868. Jay Gould and J. Gordon Ben nett are exposing one another’s rascality in the New York papers:'’ There can be no doubt are liars or rascal or both. The Atlanta Const the weekly papers of Georgia which, fayor tariff reduction the “rag-tag and bob-tail.” This is a genuine compliment, but its source renders it of no value. Jacob Sharp is dead, lie built a street railroad on Broadway, New York, which greatly benefited the city, but he bribed men in carrying it out, and died with an indictment for that offence hanging over him. The river and harbor bill is get ting to be an annual nuisance.—At lanta Constitution. The Consti. wouldn’t think that way about it if Atlanta had a river or harbor likely to get an appro priation. The Philadelphia Tinies, the Mobile Register and other former Randall supporters, have seen the error of their way, and have ex pressed a wi’lingness to have the tariff reduced. “While the lamp holds out to burn,” etc. W. 11. Chapman, while driving in a buggy across the E. T., Ya. & Ga. railroad in Atlanta on the 4th of December, 1885, was struck by the engine and crippled. He sued the railroad for damages, and, last week, gained a verdict for $5,000. President Arthur vetoed a river and harbor hill which appropriated a less amount than does the bill passed by the present congress. It Would be a good thing if in this instance President Cleveland were ■ to follow the example of President Arthur. A publishing company has bought the Cedartown Advertiser, changed its name to the Standard and will issue it semi-weekly. M. M. Folsom is editor. The first is sue, which has been received at this office, presents in every way a creditable appearance. We wish the new paper success. Ihe fortune of W. B. Lowe, one of the lessees of the convicts of Georgia, is estimated on good au thority’ to be $250,000. Ten years ago Mr. Lowe was not worth any thing. In the light of these facts it is reasonable to suppose he has made his monej- by leasing convf •is at $16,454 per head per year. *’lo one can blame him for making money this way, but it can he just- ! ly said that the convict system [ which permits it at the expense of! the tax-payers of Georgia should I be lefonned. i * Sr- Georgia’s Convicts. Tlte principal keeper of the peni tentiary sent to the Comptroller- General last week bis annual state ment of the money due the State by the lessees of State’s convicts. The statement was as follows: Joseph E. Brown, president of penitentiary company No. 1, to the State, to hire of 2924 convicts, at per head, from April 1, 1887, to April 1, 1888, $4,813.08. W. B. Lowe, president of peni tentiary company No. 2, to the State to hire of 584 convicts at $16,454 from April 1, 1887, toApril, 1, 1888, $9,607.91. J. W. English, president of peni tentiary company No. 3, to the State to hire of 6434 convicts at $16,454 from April I, 1887, to April 1,1888, $10,588.69. The above statement shows that Georgia receives for 1,520 convicts $25,010.08 per year. These figures are enough to show that there is' something wrong somewhere. A system that shows such results cer tainly needs reforming. Individuals are making immese fortunes by the employment of the convict labor of the State. The peoples’ interests ■ire being neglected and their rights trampled upon, while Brown, Lowe and English are beneficiaries. A system that builds up private for tunes at the expense of the people it large is dishonest. Rast legisla tures have allowed this; it remains to be seen what future ones will do. i The Coosa Appropriation. The people of the Coosa river re gion are not at all satisfied with the monger appropriation of $60,000 re ported from the river and harbor ■ommittee, for the improvement of ihis great and important artery of commerce. It is evident from the Record that our immediate congressman has lone his duty to the great interest in which a portion of his constitu ents are interested, and if other con gressmen from Georgia and Ala bama had been equally vigorous, the cause of present dissatisfaction would doubtless have been modified. With a bursting treasury behind them, and an enormous surplus that set the country by tie.' policy of American states- vital internal improve- KK is narrow to the .point of be itnish.—Tiihune of Rome. it is. An enormous sur plus, accumulated at the cost of the sweat and toil of the farmers of the land, and nothing to do with it but appropriate it to clean out rivers, which does not benefit the people at large, but only the favored few liv ing along their banks. With a bursting treasury behind congress the Tribune thinks it is picayun ish because the Coosa gets only $60,000. But it is a compliment to congress in that it refused to squan der public funds as lavishly as some who would have been benefited thereby would have had it to do. The Capitol. Georgia's capitol is fast nearing completion. The people have rea son to congratulate themselves up on the fact that it is one of the few public buildings that will be com pleted within the time allotted, and for the amount contracted for. It is estimated that only nine hundred thousand of the one million a)ipi-o priated will be needed, and still there has been no attempt made to cut down expenditure by using cheap materials. In size, appear ance and convenience it will com pare favorably with other Capitols costing three times as much. Last week Frank Haralson, State Librarian, bargained a pony to a jeweler of Atlanta for a watch. When he went to get the wa! -h the jeweler refused to d< liver it and Mr. Haralson, becoming possessec of one, took it away with him anyhow. The jeweler had him arrested for stealing, whereupon he cowhidcd the dealer In diamonds. Both were arrested and gave bond. It is sai I Gov. Gordon has asked Mr. Haral son to resign his place as State Li brarian; however, he hasrefused to do so. Later. The Governor has removed him, and appointed Cap.. Milledge Librari an. When a past legislature threat ened to forfeit the lease of the Western & Atlantic railroad, be cause the bond was not in accord ance with the terms of the lease act, Joey Brown was willing enough to waive any claim for betterments upon the understanding that-the lease be allowed to stand. But the legislature, direlect in its duty, al lowed the chance to protect the rights of the people to pass without profit ing by it, and now Joey cis ! the earth and t he fullness thereof. I Judge Maddox daily demonstrates I t hat he ia one of the ablest judges that ever presided over this, cireui . I—Rome Tribune. Don't Like Store Clothes. A good many people like simplic ity in dress and try to advocate it among their friends. They do not usually go as far, however, as Jo seph Hopkins did lately in South ern Georgia. Joseph disliked “store” clothes extremely and lost no op portunity of showing his contempt for them. When, therefore, the other day a friend of his approach ed thus arrayed both Hopkins and his brother remonstrated with him forsuch impropriety and emphasized their remarks by killing him with stones. Now Joseph’s brother will be hanged on May 11th and Joseph will spend the rest of his natural life where store clothes will not be often seen, namely, in the prison coal mines. In a conversation he said, philosophically : “I reckpn 1 will get used to it. I will have to try anyhow; but I never did like a man that wore store clothes.” It is not often that a man will sacrifice <o much for his convictions. Stingy Men. Stingy man, yes. He chewed to bacco, dried his chew, smoked it, gave his wife the ashes to brush her teeth with, and made her go and spit on the garden as a fertilizer. Such a man might do to bottle up and sell as mucilage that will stick to anything that comes in his way, but he won’t do for a husband.— Rockmart Slate. Stingy man, somewhatly. Last week he employed a man to dig a well, in the course of which it be came necessary to fire off a blast. This was done prematurely, before the well-digger got out of the well. He was blown straight upoutofthe well and fell back in it and imme diately resumed work. That night in settling with him for the days work his employer docked him for the time lie lost while in the air. Next! One of the brightest, bravest and i best edited weekly papers in the state, is the Chattooga News. It ; has decided opinions, and it ex i presses them in good, plain Eng i lish. Such papers are a credit to journalism.—Tribune of Rome. We can but feel grateful to our] esteemed contemporary for so high an opinion of us. We try in our feeble way to do what we conceive ! to be right. We notico that Mr. W. W. Gor don is mentioned as a candidate for i congress from the first district. As | long as the first district permits! Captain Gordon to remain out of; , congress, it is losing the services of . • one of the most useful public men Georgia ever had.—Atlanta Consti- ! 1 tution. Yes, and if the first district were ■i to retire Mr. Norwood, it would , likewise lose the services of one of . the most useful public men Georgia Cover had; so the first will lose in any event. B. A. Close was in the village Wednesday. He is an applicant for an appointment as mail agent on I ' the Western & Atlantic Railroad, and his selection for that position would be highly gratifying to the ! people of this county. Mr. Clem ents could not select a better man, or one whose appointment would give more satisfaction toChattooga, \ and as she is entitled to recognition, there is little doubt that Mr. Close i will receive the position. 'Che Kansas Pacific railroad bond holders claim that Jay Gould lias swindled them, and Gan. Dan Sickles, their attorney, says if there is any justice in the land he will put him in Uie penetentiary for it. Go it slow, Dan; Jay has got too ' much money to ever go to the pen : etentiary. The Atlanta Constitution advises President Cleveland to firmly niain . tain his position in regard to the tariff. If that paper were to take its own advice and firmly maintain any one position for six consecu tive months it would greatly in crease its reputation for consis- : tency. Simmons Liver Regulator is what the name indicates a “Reg ulator” of that most important or gan, the Liver. Is your Liver out !of order? Then is your whole sys tem deranged, the breath offensive, you have headache, feel languid, ■ dispirited, and nervous, no appe tite, sleep is troubled and unre freshing.

We are hav ing some fine weather at this writ ing for farming,and the farmers are making good use of it—planting corn, hauling out, and putting in compost, and getting ready gener ally for another crop. The school at Macedonia has closed; and now ft debating club is going on thereat. Subject for dis cussion next Saturday night is: “Which has been the most destruct ive to humanity, war or intemper ance.” All good debaters arc cor dially invited to attend. The Rev. Mr. Perdue, the State Evangelist, preached an able ser mon to a good congregation at Mac edonia church Tuesday night. He is certainly a good scriptorian. The Rev. Mr. Webb also preached a good sermon to an overflowing house at New Hope last Sunday. Miss Emma Henry, a charming young lady, is visiting relatives and friends in our midst.. Some of the young men say they hope that she will remain in onr midst until fall. They say the world seems purer and brighter while basking in the sunshine of her smiles. Mr. Worsham, who lives on Dr. Underwood's Teloga creek farm has the boss wheat field, and if nothing: injures it in any way it will make fifteen bushels per acre. If that fair one who is attending school in the Cove don’t return home soon, we don’t know what will become of one young man who oc casionally teaches writing school. Don’t think the peach crop has been entirely killed yet. We have heard a tolerably well authenticated rumor to the effect that there will be another w-w-wedding in our midst soon. Go it young men; marry if you want to, [and if you can. —Ed.] for the good Book says it is not good for man to be alone. Your correspondent got a leap year proposal a short time since, and you bet he accepted. How do you sup pose it happened? Its the simplest l thing on record. She proposed to I me to leave the house or she would call her parents—and I left. Now, Mr. Editor, a few words from our Farback district: Sammie I Ticklapitcher is on a visit to his I grand father’s first cousin’s stepson, i I had a very pleasant chat with the ; honorable Sammie. He was form j erly a citizens of our community, but has been living for the past four year in the northwestern i art of Booming county, in the Stati of Desperation. He is a good citi en —a Christian man. Considerable excitement prev -tils in this section on account of some marble having been discovered here. Real estate is going up daily—t at is when blasting is being done. ! Johnnie Wagstaff is given up to I be the best trader of any young man ■ in this section. He swapped am de, three rusty qails, two matches, nd a button for a brass watch, and got twelve feet of watch spring to b< >t. Johnnie Whiflletree'says his b-b ck or breast one hurts, he can’t tell which. Miss Margarctt Goligl tly a young and handsome lady from I Oopsasalto celebrated her 71st ' birthday last Sunday. A good many of the young people called upon her during the day. Captain Tanner wears a three by four smile on his fake. Cause: there is a new boy at 1® house—a hired one. ▼ Johnnie Brown. March April May I Are months in which to purify the blood, as the system is now most ■ : susceptible to benefit from, medi ': cine. Hence now is the time to • take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, a medi i cine peculiarly adapted for the ptir- ■ pose, possessing peculiar curative • powers.

The batteau either turned over or Harris fell out and he was drowned. Preston and Richland ship daily to Americus two hundred dozen eggs, where they are consumed. The King Cotton mill, of Augus ta, is being enlarged by the addi tion of 6,000 spindles and 176 looms. Albany dealers sell large quanti ties of Georgia made cider, which they say is taking the place of whis ky in the dry counties, as most of their sales are to such. The people of Augusta presented two petitions, one asking that their city time be turned forward and one that it be turned backward, to the mayor who decided to turn it back- ward. i A negro boy lost his life stealing a ride on the Barnsville accomoda tion last week. There are 3,000 members of the farmers Alliance working in Car roll county. The marl beds along the Savan nah river in Burke county cover for ty acres and are inexhaustible. The marl is of fine quality and is being i used by an Augusta firm in the preparation of fertilizers. Mrs W. A. Wood, of Paulding county, has sold 350 pounds of but ter since last October, besides fur nishing a family of nine persons. She received an average of 18 cents per pound. Mr. E. Harvey, of Eatonton, owns a $25,000 watch. Fifty-two years ago he gave $l5O fcr it, and the interest, compounded, on this sum for that time amounts to neat ly $25,000. Cochran has a population of 1,- 500, but there is not a Smith or Jones within its limits. J. W. McMillan, of Calhoun county, had a fight last week with an alligator. He finally succeeded in killing the monster, which meas ured seven feet in length. Dr. Crosby Smith, of Wesleyan Female College, died in Macon last week of vertigo. Alfred Bell, colored, of Athens, was bitten by a mad dog last week. Mayor Cooper has ordered that the barber shops in Atlanta be closed on Sunday. SAW MILL DOTS. I have not seen anything from the mountairf in the News, will give your readers a few items. Health is good. During March we had very cold weather, and the fruit is about all killed. Miss Lula Boils, one of our charming young ladies, has been sick, but is better now. Mr. Win. Gaylor has also been sick. Mr. J. W. Cooper, of Dirttown, has been visiting relatives on the mountain. Mrs. E. R. Boils and Mrs. D. B. Westbrook have been visiting rel- | stives at Duck Creek last week, i Mrs. Davy Boils has been suffering with rheumatism. I want to say something about the people on Lookout mountain as we are not known in the newspa pers or jury boxes unless some straggler passes through and does something and then we are adver tised all over the country as a set of lawbreakers. This impression that the people I on the mountain are bad is aii i wrong. They arc law abiding and . Godfearing. We pay our taxes| and for our papers as punctual as j others, but we are never mentioned in the papers when we c .me to town unless we happen to get int i the calaboose. We have as good socie ty as can be found anywhere. We are fast finishing a. new church, the membership of which is nearly one hundred. We have Sunday school each Sunday, the weather permit ting. There are no drunkards hero ! and the people have no law suits.. There is one fault: the people do' not give sufficient attention to, schools. They are about, educating their children. But we ' hope this defect will be remedied. Blanton. ■ Trion News Items. On Sunday evening last a diffi culty occurred between Robert 'Wil liams and Ira Jackson, two negroes who were employed by the pile drivers on the railroad at Trion. Williams drew a pistol and fired at Jackson; Jack‘on knocked Wil liams down with a shovel, but he regained his feet and fired four oth er shots, two of which took effect: one in the back, causing only a slight wound; the other struck the chin or face and ranged toward the back of the neck, where the ball lodged and was taken (Hit rty Dr. I Rudicil. Jackson struck 'Williams two blows with the shovel, once on the arm and once on the head. The blow on the head was a severe one and caused a good deal of pain. The two negroes were arrested and kept under gard until Monday morn ing, when they were taken to Sum merville, to appear before Judge Bellah as that was the regular day for holding his court. The most of the piling on the north side of the river is driven. The timber is post oak logs about twenty feet long, and is driven in to the ground about ten feet, and about ten feet extends above the ground, and on top of this the track is to be laid. The bridge is being put up again, only lacks a little of ' ; being raised clean across the river. Os course there will be a good deal of work to do after the frame is up before it is ready for the track. Some of the grading force is at work on the south side of the river, j There is a considerable fill to make i before reaching the high ground. After that is done, the grading will be light for some distance. Rev. Isaac C. West, of Kartah, preached at Trion Sunday morning. Rev. Mr. Thomas preached Sun day night, and is carrying on a series of meetings this week, which will probably be continued during this week. Mr. Charles 11. Orr and Miss An na Shamblin were m rried Apr. sth, by N. IT. Coker, J. I’. All of Trion. Mr. A. S. Hamilton, of Rome, and Miss Mnggic Allgood, of Trion, were married April 11th, Rev.

He bought a horse from James L. Allman, for which he paid one hun dred and twenty five dollars. Mr Doster is opposed to discus sing the road question through the columns of the News. 1 think it is proper to look into the matter carefully and if any one can offer a suggestion that will help to get the laws so amended as to give us a good system for keeping the roads in good order, let them do so. Mr. C. J. Hogue has paid for his paper to February 1889; and also sends a copy to his brother in Indian Territory. That’s all right. How many more will do likewise? N. 11.
