A railroad from Dalton to Murray

There is complaint all over the South
about which the enumerators have
neglected.
There is one means of returning this
country to the limitations of constitu
tional power, and that is to bankrupt
it, and start afresh with nothing to
plunder.
About the best thing for the South
to do, is to come down to a few years
of hard tack and home-made supplies.
This would prove a first class force bill*
We are glad to sec Marietta aroused
to the importance of a system of pub
lic schools. The Dalton schools have
lived down the most violent opposition,
as will be the case wherever properly
inaugurated.
Walker county, the home bailiwick

Is Judson afraid of his home people?
Let the Democratic Paladin of Floyd

Two of the Georgia congressmen—
Clements and Stewart, —act as if they
thought the Alliance was more to be
dreded than Tom Reed’s tyranical
power. There are good many men
who would rather let the republican
party have its way than to see the hon
est yeomanry in power.

Our public speakers probably do
right to plead the loyalty of the south
to the Federal union, but it might not
be a bad idea to let the country know
that she has a considerable reserve
force of pluck left for emergencies.
The South will stand no more recon
struction.
We see it stated that Congressman
Clements is at home canvassing for
another teim of office. With the ty
ronical Reed throwing the weight of
his party majority against our section
in every measure of legislation it is a
pity to have a Democratic Congress
man who love office better than his
country. It is no excuse for Mr.
Clements to “pair off” with one of
Reed’s henchmen. If he is worth any
thing as a representative he should lie
there to give the force of his advice
and influence to his party associates.
Henry Weatherly keeps

The indications are that the Federal
force bill will become a law. That it I
will, and is intended to, give trouble in !
the South, may be expected ; but our j
people have the nerve and the good .
sense to meet the issue.
DALTON, GEORGA. JULY 12.1890.
An assurance of the Alliance mem
bers, in its general make up, to stick
to the Democratic party, and to act
only through the modes which are
planned by the Democratic organiza
tion would, ordinarily suffice to allay
active hostility to its purpose to be
come a factor in local politics. That
it is loyal to the Democratic party
should be so much a source of gratifi
cation as to stimulate encouragement
rather than ridicule and harsh discus
sion.
The facts seem to show a preconcer
ted effort all over the state to ridicule
the assumption of the Alliance in pol
itics and to denounce its candidates as
demagogues, and as enemies to the
south, in an assumed warfare against
the Democratic party.
This was notable in the effort to mus
ter opposition to Col. Northern until it
was discovered that it could not be
done. It shows itself in this district
through a certain hostality to Mr. Ev
erett. It shows itself in a state fight
against Livingston in the sth District.
It shows itself everywhere in a square
division of political preference in the
towns against any candidate which
the Alliance has suggested.
It is time for the people to measure
candidates by some other yard stick
than merely that of a life time in office.
The old gag has played out.
The Kennesaw Gazette wants to
know why the Marietta Accommoda
tion train earns nearly double the
amount of the Dalton Accomodation.
One reason is that Marietta has only
one railroad. Another is that the
Marietta Accommodation has been on
about thirty years, riveting the trade
of that section to Atlanta, and train
ing the people to an all day trip to
Atlanta. The principle reason, how
ever, is that Dalton people do more
trading at home, coming nearer living
at home, and is more independent of
the cities than any other town in Geor
gia. A comparison of Dalton spipping
with the other villages would be decid
edly more interesting. But we all
dote on the Dalton Accomodation, and
when it shall be even ten years old, the
wisdom of its schedule will doubly sus
tain the liberal policy of the W. & A.
officials.
Children that are peevish and sickly
frequntly owe their disposition and
distress to the presence of worms in
their little intestines. They will be
more healthy, happy and pretty if you
give them Dr. Bull’s Worm Destroy
ers.
Clements has been in Congress for
eight years.
Has he ever secured a practical re
sult for his district?
Has he ever got a measure beyond
the committee room?
Has he ever presented a local bill
only in the face of an election?
Under four years of Democratic as
cendency did he reduce Federal taxes,
or equalize the tariff duties?
Has he done anything, of his own
motion, through his personal efforts, j
in behalf of his district, of his country,
or of his party, which stands boldly to I
the front as a rebuttal against the
claim of any other Democrat for the ’
office which he has held ?
By what rule of faith is it undemo
cratic to oppose him?

Hon. W. J. Northen has an experi- j
ence that no other candidate for gov- j
ernor of Georgia can boast of —an open
field, without opposition, in the pri- I
maries. It is something to live an I
active public life that chrystalizes into
a climax which furnishes no pretext
for hostility in a campaign courted by
so many eager aspirants. He will give !
an administration which will strengt h
en him in the hearts of his people.
JudiieG. N. Lester is making good
progress in his candidacy for the office
of Attorney-general of the State.
There are many reasons why he should
I find a strong following in this section
of the state. He has at all times met
the demands of his country and of his
party. He was a brave soldier of the
Confederacy, losing an arm in its bat
tles, and now, in bis declining years, is
said to be needful of the office. A
Christian gentleman, a lawyer of ac
knowledged ability, and now a farmer
in full sympathy with the farming in
terest, his appeal of help should reach
very nearly all elements of this state.
We should be glad to see Whitfield en
dorse him.
The Washington Bost, (Republican)
is quoted by Judge Stewart, in the sth
district, to show that the Alliance
movement is considered a revolt
against the Democratic party.
The Cincinnati Commercial-Gazette
(the red-headed flambo of the South
hating Republicans,) is quoted by the
Clements’ papers in this district to
show that Judson’s absence from Con
gress would make a black streak about
the eye of the Democratic party.
As the Republican papers seem to
divided on the Georgia issue it would
be well to call in another horse.
Mr. Everett declared in a speech at
Marietta last Tuesday, that he would
support the nominee of the democrat
ic convention which meets at Calhoun,
Sept. 10th, and if Mr. Clements is nom
inated he would stump the district for
him against an independent.
Criticising a Young Lady.
“She would be a pretty girl but for
one thing.”
“What’s that?” asked Charley.
George—“ Her face is always covered
with puple and red blotches.”
Charley—“Oh, that’s easily enough
disposed of. Used to be the same way
myself, but I caught on to the trouble
one day, and got rid of it in no time.”
George—“ What was it?”
Charley—“ Simply blood eruptions.
Took a short course of P. P. P I tell
you, it’s the boss blood corrector. The
governor had rheumatism so bad that
you could hear him holler clear across
the county every time he moved. He
i tried it, and you know what an athlet
ic old gent he if now. If somebody
would give Miss Daisy a pointer, she
would thank them afterwards. All
j the drug stores sell it.”
The Georgia Railroad Commission.
♦ ■ ...1.
The extensive railroad agitation of
the past year makes the condition and
record of the Georgia Railroad Com
mission a matter of general interest
and importance.
Hon. L. N. Trammell, president of
the Commission,in a recent statement,
exhibits, a clear and excellent record
of usefullness tor the body over which
he presides.
It was organized in 1879, and the I
annual cost of commission to the State ;
is SIO,OOO. The passenger rates have j
' been reduced from five to three cents
per mile, and there has been a general
reduction in freight rates.
Not only have the charges of the (
railroads been reduced and the value
of their properties enhanced, but there
has , been an immense increase in
their mileage since 1879, For the live
years previous to 1878 there were built
less than 100 miles, and the records
for ten years since 1878 show 2,000
miles built—an average of 200 miles
since, as contrasted with an average of
twenty miles before the establishment
of the commission.
It said during the past ten years I he
loan companies have put on mortga
ges upon farmsin Georgia ten million
dollars. Os this amount five million >
have been paid and five million is in 1
force now. All the matured loans .
have been collected, ninety per cent, ;
by foreclosure. A large number of
five year loans have been paid when
they had run only two or three years.

Cotton Bagging for the Next Cot
ton Crop.
An American exchange referring to
this matter, says the Southern Cotton
Manufacturers’ Association have deci
ded that they will not again give the
bonus of 10 cents per 100 lb. for cot
ton so packed, as they did last year,
not having found the change to their
interest. A cotton manufacturer,
making cotton bagging, however,states
that the growers mean to use it exclu
sively if they can get it, but of this
there is some doubt, The planters
have two motives that induce them to
take this course. In the first place,
' they save their outlay upon jute, and
rid themselves from the extortion of
the rings dealing in that article. In
the second, they become customers for
their own material, a fact which they
expect will exercise a not unimportant
influence upon prices. The manufaC’
turer referred to above says that “three
power looms will weave up the yarn
from one bale of cotton in ten hours,
and the cloth thus produced will cover
about eighty-five bale of cotton. You
may do the balance of the figuring as
to the looms and cotton necessary to
cover the crop yourselfbut adds, “to
aid you, however, I might say that to
furnish cotton bagging for a 7,500,000
crop would take nearly 1 per cent of
the entire crop, which would undoub
tedly affect the price of the whole crop
very materially. Further, the Nation
al Alliance, at the Convention in St.
Louis a few weeks ago, enthusiastical
ly adopted cotton bagging for the next
crop, and when the alliances speak
now it means business.” Should this
movement grow—and it deserves
watching—it may have a more impor
tant influence than would at first
sight be apparent. It would certainly
very unfavourably affect the jute man
• ufacturing industry on the one hand ;
whilst on the raw material for the cot
ton trade, which is as undesirable as
the proceeding. The only counter
poise is that the movement would be
’ get a demand for spinning machinery
and looms for low counts, in which the
machinists of this country, as well as
I those of America, might find some ad
vantage. Rome, however, was not
1 built in a day, and we don’t expect this
’ revolution to be accomplished in a
3 season.—The Textile Mercery.
A Remarkable Showing!.
I It is estimated that Smith’s Tonio
Syrup made by Dr. John Bull,of Lpius
ville, Ky., is used in not less than eight
hundred thousand families. In many
localities it has entirely taken the place
of quinine, having all the good quali
; ties of this drug and none of its evil
j tendencies. Its use has a most bene
ficial effect on the circulatory system
and mucous membrane. It instills
life into these imporant portions and
prevents congestion. It reduces inor
dinate temperature and allays all fever
ish systems. It is a true anti-periodic
and will prevent or cure chills and fe
ver with invariable certainty. In ma
larial districts, (where colds. fevers, in
fluenza, etc., are| common, it is almost
a sacred duty to take Smith’s Tonic
Svrup occasionally, as by this means
the good health of the family is J>er
served.
Never in the history of this republic
have the farmers of the country taken
such decided and active participation
in public affairs as the case at present.
