Monday’s Cuban news stated that the negro
soldiers of the insurgents were violating the
persons of all the women they could lay their
hands on in the presence of their fathers,

Such brutality calls for a protest from all the
civilized world.
Two young negroes. Tom Jenkins and Miller
Jone-, were arrested yesterday, charged with

ware store, almost dead from the effects of lau
danum, which he had just swallowed. Hr.
Glenn McAfee was summoned, and after doing
everything he could to restore the man’s life he
was sent to the Hamilton boarding house. At
last accounts he was out of danger.
The Argus sent a bill to a subscriber the
other day. He was thoroughly thunderstruck
that he. it merchant who makes a profit on all
his sales, should have to pay the enormous,
princely sum of $1 a year for a paper. “Stop my
paper,” he said; “I can’t afford to pay a dollar
a vein fora paper, It’s 100 much —a dollar a
year, phew!” Hie Argus slopped sending his
copy with pleasure. To stum a man THE ARGUS
is not worth a cent a century, ami there is a
Bible injunction against casting it before him.
Quite a pleasant social event, was an evening
party, given Wednesday evening, by Mrs. C. G.
Spencer at her home on S. spencer street. Mrs.
Spencer sustained her former reputation for
managing such eceasions. and the evening was
highly enjoyed by every one. A dainty repast
was served at 10 o'clock. Among those present
were: Mr. and Mrs W. M Denton, Misses
Nell Barrett, Nell Manly, Grace Smith Lizzie
Denton, Annie Hill; Messrs; Frank Smith,

Aiderman Sam Loveman, in answer to The
ARGUS’ appeal, went to work with a vim this
week, getting up petitions to present to the rail
roads and to the -ailroadcommission, asking for
a new general passenger depot at Dalton. He
got up a petition from the full Council, ami also
a petition of all the business men of the city.
Three conies of these petitions have been made
and will be sent to the Western & Atlantic
authorities, to the Southern authorities and to
the Railroad Commission. Mr. Loveman will

The Tradesman’s reports as to Southern in
dustrial and business conditions for the week
ending January 20th, show that there is more
of irreguiarity’ in prices in business centers than
has been apparent heretofore. Buyers are ac
tive but do hot make offers that bring out either
cotton or lumber. 'The lumber trade is quite
lively for the season, especially in Texas
and at Gulf ports. The North Carolina pine
lumber operators are doing very well and are
working their mills to their full capacity. Cot
ton is steady with light offerings from first
hands. In some sections of the cotton reigon
the crop lias been sold out, and in others a good
de.il of cotton is believed to be held by planters
who believe m higher prices. Southern cotton
mills are all doing well.

THAT FEDERAL PRISON.
’I h«* Question Altai 11 Aixitateil A Vol
noble MiKKesl ion.
On the subject of the new federal prison
to be located south, for which Dalton pre
sented her claim last, year, the Constitu
tion of Wednesday said :
This bill, which whs |>Hsso<| in ihe fifty-first
' congress, nroviiled thut three I’nileil States prls
[ mis 'houiil be constructed Ht h cost not to exceed
S r >oo 000. one wns to be west of the Rocky monu
tHins, the nt her two iii the east—one north and
one south of the :Wlh degree of latitude. The bill
instructed the attornev genera) and the secretary
of the interior to settle the sites. They claim
that they cannot fulfill the terms of the bill un
til the money is appropriated with which to pur
chase the sites.
On the other hand. Col. Livingston, who is a
member of the appropriation committee and ac
tively at work to have one of the prisons located
at Atlanta, says that the appropriaiion commit
tee can do nothing until the attorney general
and the secretary of the interior have selected
thesitesand furnished the committee with an
estimate of the amount needed. Thus, while
there has been a law providing for the location
and construction of these prisons in existence
more than four years, because of the difference
in its construction between those delegated to
administer it and the legislative end of the gov
ernment, nothing has been done and nothing
may be done for a long time.
The southern congressmen who have cities in
their respective disiricts bidding for the prison
are fighting each other. They are not eager to
push the appropriation unless assurances are
given ns to its location.
Attorney General Harmon has expressed no
opinion ns to where he thinks the southern pris
on should be located. His home. Cincinnati, is
just above the 39 h degree of latitude.
Secretary Smith favors Atl mta, yet he is natur
ally loth to oppose Dalton’s claim. But that he
will do, as Atlanta is recognized ns the best loca
tion.
The Georgia congressmen are divided on the
location of the prison, and in this division is
Georgia’s only weakness.
Judge Maddox wants the prison located at
Daltou an J is making a strong light for it logo
til ere.
“If the attorney general and secretary of the
interior will listen to the facts and the interest
of the government, they will locate the prison at
Dalton,” said lie today. "I will oppose its loca
tion at Atlanta, because Dalton is the natural
place for it go.”
In conversation with Mayor McAfee
ami Aiderman Loveman Wednesday, it
was suggested that, as the appropriation
was for building the prisons only and not
for buying sites, that the mayor and
council buy options on the Lukens and
Hammond properties, and offer either of
these sites to the government, sending a
committee on requesting those having the
matter in hand to come down and in
spect the sites offered them.
The Argus endorses this suggestion,
and urges immediate action. Let Mayor
McAfee call the council Digester at once
and start the ball rolling. #
It is a very important matter and may
Ife worth millions to. Dalton. Get to
work at once.
Later—Congressman Livingston has
since introduced a bill to appropriate
$300,000 for buying the sites. This makes
the necessity of immediate action ail the
more urgent.
THE COUNCIL MEETS.
'The Citv Council met Friday morning,
and called a meeting of the citizens of
the town and county to meet Monday
evening at 6 o’clock in the Court House,
and appropriated a sum towards defray
ing the expenses of a committee to go to
Washington. Here is their call:
CALL OF COUNCIL,
The citizens of Dalton and Whitfield,
and surronr.din g section, especially the
county officials, are urgently requested
to meet at the Court House in Dalton,
Monday evening, January 27th, at 6
o’clock, to consider the question of try
ing to secure the location of the new
federal prison in this city Every person
who has the material advancement of
this section at heart must come out. It
is of vital importance that we act at once.
By order of Mayor and Council, this
January 24th, 1896.
COUNTRY PEOPLE MUST COME.
It is particularly urged that the coun
try people he well represented, as the lo
cation of the prison in Dalton would
make a ready market for all their pro
duce at good prices.
Be sure you come and take part.
