STEVENS COUNTY.
Another Outbreak Said To Be More
Than Probable-The Neutral Strip.

Another Outbreak Said To Be More
Than Probable-The Neutral Strip.
WICHITA, Kas., Aug. l7.-One OF the
officers OF the militia company which has
returned from Stevens county relates that
there is every prospect of another outbreak
between Woodsdale and Hugoton, as the
people Of the former place avow they will
be revenged for the death Of their four citi-
zens. The situation in Grant county, he
said, is also so strained that the citizens
asked Gen. Myers to leave one company
at each of the towns-Cincinnati and Ulys-
ses-as between these places the bitterest
rivalry exists over the county seat ques.
ton. Both towns are paying numbers OF
lawless characters from the neutral strip
81 day and board to remain within their
border so that they can vote on the county
scat question in about thirty days. A COM
pliCation has arisen in the fact that Hugo
ton and Woodsdale men have taken sides
with the rival towns Of Grant county.
Arms are said to be in possession OF the
belligerents. Each side is afraid OF the
other, hence the request for troops.

DIRECTORS SHOULD DIRECT.

DIR. Talmage rebukes the officers
of banking Institutions in this wise:
1t ought not to be possible for a
President or cashier or prominent Of
ficer of banking institution to swim
die it year after year without detec-
ton. What right have prominent
business men to allow their names to
be published as Directors in a fnan-
cial institution so that unsophistica-
ted people are thereby induced to de-
post money in or buy the scrip there
If when they, the published Direc-
tors, are doing nothing for the safety
of the institution ? 1t is case of
deception most reprehensible.
"Many people with surplus of
money, not needed for immediate
use, are guided solely by the charac-
ter of men whose names are associa-
ted with the institution. When the
crash came and with the overthrow
of the banks went the earnings and
limited fortunes of widows and or
phans and the helplessly aged, the
Directors stood with idiotic stare,
and to the inquiry of the frenzied
depositOrs and stockholders who had
lost their all, and to the arraignment
of an indignant public had nothing to
say except "We thought it was all
right; we did not know of anything
wrong going on" 1t was their duty
to know. Calling themselves Direc-
tors, they did not direct. They had
an opportunity of auditing accounts
and inspecting the books. No time
! to do so? Then they had no bust.
ness to accept the position. 1t seems
to be the pride of some money-eyed
men to be Directors in a great many
institutions, and all they know is
| whether or not they get their divi-
dends regularly, and their names are
| used as decoy-ducks to bring others
near enough to be made game Of
What, first OF all, is needed is that
500 bank Directors and insurance
company Directors resign or attend
to their business as Directors. When
you arrest a President or Secretary
of bank for an embezzlement car
ried on for years, have plenty Of
Sherifts out the same day to arrest
all the Directors. They are guilty
either of neglect or complicity."
The Marietta journal. [volume] (Marietta, Ga.) 1866-1909, 1888-03-29

Above every other form of devel-
opment, that of our agricultural in
terests demand. and must have, pre-
cedence. 1t is the one great hope of
the south; the basis of all other in
dustries. While booming our min
eral interests, we have neglected our
chiefest source OF solid, constant in
come, and comfort and happiness.
The south Of the future, as was the
south of the past, will be an agricul-
tural country. Comparatively, only
small section of the south possesses
iron and other ores.-ROme Tribune.
This is eminently true, and the
neglect of agricultural development
solely In the interest of mineral de-
velopment, would be detrimental to
the best interest of the State. On
the success of our farmers depend
the prosperity of all trades and call
ings and classes of people. This fact
should prompt US to endeavor to in
duce immigrants to North Georgia.
There is plenty of idle land that
could be utilized by an industrious
and thrifty people. Cobb county
lands are the equal in fertility of
any in this State, and all of it is sus-
ceptible of the highest productive
ness. 1t is only few years ago that
our county was awarded $500 in gold
as the "banner agricultural county"
Our lands are now worth more than
ever and will eventually be in great
er demand by those who wish to get
away from the prolonged cold winters
OF the Northern and Western States.
By cutting up the large plantations
into small farms and working them
on the intensive system, with di-
versity OF crops, it would boom this
section as much so as minerals have
