MARIETTA & N. GA. r. R.

the line of the Marietta and North Georgia
Railroad that the Legislature should relieve
the company, whoare trying to complete the
road, of all encumbrances There are some

the road which is great embarrassment to
the road. The men who were induced to
invest in the NJ. & n Ga r. r., did 50 witt
the understanding that the convicts would
be retained to finish the work The CON
victs have not only been taken away, but
the company has had over $4,000 to pay
as hire Of these oonviots to losSees of con
victs, something that was never contempla-
ted and is dead loss The road is now
stopped at Ellijay, and the people are anx-
ious for its completion, knowing that it will

eORB's REGISTRATION BILL.

We have just read the Registration Bill
for Cobb county, introduced by Hon A. S.
Clay upon the recommendation of two
Grand Juries. 1t provides that the Tax
Collector of the county shall be the regis
tran He is required to provide himself
with rubber stamp with the word Regis
tered engraved on the same As each per.
son pays his Ia4 the word Registered 10
stamped on the tax receipt of the person
paying his tax and on the stub LETT in the
book of the Tax Collector So each person
who pays his tax as he pays the same, will
have the word Registered stamped on his
tao receipt and On his stub left in the stub
book of the Tax Collector. Before the cleo
ton the Tax Collector is required to make
out from his stub book list for each dis
trict of those who have paid their tax and
registered and turn the same over to the
managers Of the election in the various dis
trlcts in the county and no person can vote
unless his name is on that list, unless he can
show that he has paid his tax and that his
name was left Oft the list by mistake, This
will give to the county a pure ballot 1t
will be no Inconvenience to our people to
register for they register as they pay their
tax If the law is properly enforced our
citizens will no longer be indicted for Illegal

expense in trying these cases This bill
further provides that each person must vote

DEATH OF REV. /. N. SPRINGER.

There is a reaper whose name is DEATH
And with his sickle keen
lie reaps the bearded grain at breath,
And the flowers that grow between"
Death has again welded his keen sickle
in this community and moved down one Of
our best citizens in the person OF Rev. |. NJ
Springer, the beloved pastor of the Baptist
Church. For two months he had been pros
trated at his home. struggling for the mas
terry over cruel and wasting fever but its
insidious ravages were unrelenting, and
Tuesday morning last the vital spark went
out in death. Mr.. Springer moved among
our people in his pastoral work with a
Christian spirit that was diffusive as it was
sincere, with an amiableness and modesty as
gentle as a woman's, and with courtesy as
respectful as it was agreeable. He was a
man of culture and refinement; a pastor
that was able and fervent; and husband
and father of matchless devotion and tender
ness. The Baptist Church and the commu-
uity have great cause of sorrow in his de-
mise When called to this church he was a
resident of Madison Ga, and his minister
al work here has been faithful Jealous and
efficient He leaves a wife and several sons
and daughters, to whom we tender our pro-
found sympathy. His funeral took place
Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock, at the
Baptist Church, Rev, S. A, Burney, of Mad

One very encouraging report
comes from Virginia. 1t is that the
colored leaders those who have
heretofore been most active in can
vassing for the Republican party
are taking no part on that side in the
present contest; and the main reason
given for their inactivity is still bet
ter-it is their conviction that they
have been deceived by those who
have so often told them that a Dem
ocratic administration would be in
imical and disastrous to them. The
movement for State covention of
colored Republicans to organize in
opposition to Malone and Wise is
said to be strongly backed and is re-
celving the support Of a great many
colored men Of influence and activi-
ty. These accounts leads us to be-
lieye that the color line" has been
broken, and that Wise's boast that
he will get nearly solid negro vote
will not be verified,

POOLING WITH A PISTOL.

On last Friday, two young men, James
Haney and Henry Peterson, of this place,
attempted to discharge pistol but it was
so rusty their efforts were HnaYailing. They
oiled it and left it on the floor for a
while, when Haney picked it up and pulled
the trigger and Immediately the pistol was
discharged, the ball striking Peterson in the
right thigh, making painful flesh wound.
Haney had no idea that the pistol would
fire and was surprised at the result. Drs
Reynolds and Simpson probed for the bullet,
but we learn, failed to extract it. The PTS
toll was a 81 calibre

Ihere was man in our town, and he
was wondrous wise, for when he marked
his prices down, he then did advertise
And when he saw his trade increase, with
all his might and main he marked still low
er every price and advertised again. And
when he advertised again it made his rivals
roar to see the people rush to him and pat
ronze his store. And while they sat in
solitude and saw him custom win, that man
behind the counter stood and raked the
shekels in. And when he raked the shek
els in and saw his fortune rising he took a
goodly lot of tin and kept on advertising.

Mill Owners Confer.

A Joint conference of m II owners
from Bay City, West Bay City, Saginaw and
East Saginaw was held in East Saginaw on the
23rd. OF the lightweight mills on the river
seventy were represented either by the owners
or by proxy. A committee of four, which had
been appointed for the purpose, submitted the
following, which was unanimously adopted:
As Efforts are being constantly made by de
signing men to convey the impression to the
employees that u Is the intention of the mill
owners to soon stsrt their mills and salt work,
on various plans as TO hours of running and
the scale of wages, and believing that MANY
employees are doluded by these false PROMISE.
now therefore, that the position OF the mill
owners may be fully understood we make the
following statement and pledge:
First-Thc wages which prevailed in the
various mills AMI salt works at the time the
men were compelled to quit work, were fully
as high, and n some cases higher than the EN-
ployers could afford to pay without actual pc
cuniary loss; the wages being higher than the
average paid for that class of labor through
out the United States, the same being 81 40
per day.
sacond-No complaint has been made by the
employees as TO the hours of lator for the past
ten years. Some of the mill owners last spring
offered TO run their mills on ten hours time
with proportlonate pay, which offer was re-
jected by their employees.
Thrd-In view of the fact that the wages
paid were as b ga as we could afford to pay and
the hours for labor satisfactory to our EN-
pleyes until interference by professional agi
tators. therefore we hcr,bv determine not to
start our mills and salt works until the men
are willing to return t. work ON the same
basis as they W. re when the works were shut
down by an armed mob.
few m II own rs desired to have the reso-
lutions amcnde ! as TO provide starting the
mills ~ ten hours with proport!onate pay, but
this did not meet the approval Of the majority
of those present.
