OBSTACLES TO PROGRESS.

No one will deny that there are
men among us VINO are depending
solely upon others to do the work in
which they should take an active
part; who are sitting quietly under
their own vine and fig tree and
watching the world go round with
out the prestige Of a push from their
distinguished selves. Time was
when man could 90 this and pros
per. but it is not so now man has
got to get up and get if he wants. to
succeed and make his town succeed
IL. this busy, bustling age; the town
is not rich enough to support them ;
they are fungus growth which OBJ
structs its progress.

CENSUS ESUMERATORs.

JUsT now Hon. G. G. Haley, Su-
pervisor of the 18th census of the
United States for the first district
of Georgia, is about the busiest man
in North Georgia. Besides answering
and filing the numerous letters he is
getting by every mail, he is outlin-
ing the enumeration districts in his
division, to which one enumerator
tor each district is to be appointed.
No appointments of enumerators
will be made until about the first of
May, and he says it is his purpose
to make every appointment with
reference to fitness for che work, as
it is essential that correct census
should be had, and he is determined
it shall be in his division, Mr..
Haley is already showing his good
sense; he is evidently the "right
man in the right place." The dis
trict is to be congratulated on his
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Advance.
We are glad to hear that Prof.
Haley will SNAKE every appoint
ment with reference to fitness for
the work." 1t silences and refutes
some very ugly rumors that the
Buck influence would be exerted to
persuade him to appoint few ne
gro enumerators. If he is the ''right
man in the right place." we feel
confident that he would not insult
the white people of Marietta and
Cobb county by any such colored
appointments. There are number
of white Republicans who are COM
petent, to say nothing of worthy
Democrats, and it is by appointing
these men that a correct census"
can be had. The taking of the CEN
sus should be lifted above partizan
politics and the most efficient men
appointed that the work may be
efficiently and accurately performed.

GRASS AND CLOVER.

II there is one system of farming
that our farmers shlociI devote
themselves to in Cobb county, and
in fact throughout Georgia, it is in
the cultivation Of grass and clover.
These two things will do more to
redeem old worn out lands and
make them rich and productive than
anything else /; and in fact they are
the only sure and permanent crops
of vegetable growth that will create
this desirable transformation. 1t
has been demonstrated beyond all
disputation that grass and clover
will flourish here in the greatest
luxuriance and thrift. There is
more money in grass and clover
than in cotton, because they not
only pay we'll as nutritious food or
forage for stock, but redeem and
enrich the lands, make them doubly
valuable in monetary sense, but
horses and cattle that feed or pas.
ture on them take on good solid,
healthy flesh.
Those who devote a part Of their
land to the cultivation of grass and
clover are satisfied with the expe-
riment and consider it wise on their
part that they ever begun, while
those who neglect it ale poorer by
it.
Give this important matter your
attention this year and next year,
and you will afterwards thank us
for the urgency with which we
pressed it on your attention.

Distances to Washington.

From St. Louis to Washington the
distance is 1874 miles; from Cincinnati to
Washington SI3 miles. Tais is via the
bee line followed by the B. & o. Rail-
road, the most picturesque as we'll as
the most direct route'from the Missis-
sippi River to the Atlantic Seaboard,
stretching across level and fertile pralr-
les, amid hills and valleys, over noun
tain crests, along banks of historic rivers,
through teemlng cities and busting
towns. The through B. 60. trains,
with full Pullman equipment of Sleep
ing, Parlor and Buffet cars, run from
st. Louis to Washington IN 20 hou e;
from Cincinnati to Washington in Is
hours; from Chicago to Washington in
% hours. SIeepers from all points run
through to New York from the West
without change. At Washington con-
nection is made with the B. & O's
matchless Royal Blue Line for Balti-
more, Philadelphia and New York.
These Royal Blue trains CONSIST of the
staunchest and finest Coaches, Parlor
and Sleeping cars ever built by the Pull
man G mpany; are vestibuled from end
to end, and are protected by Pullman's
improved anti telescoping device, which
makes every car as safe as it can be
made by mans ingenuity and skill. All
the cars are heated by steam and light
ed by Pintsch gas. They are the fastest
trains In the world, placing New York
and Washington within five hours
reach.

NEEDED CHANGE.

One of the changes in the city char
ter which will meet, 1t is believed, with
the views of large majority of the vot-
ers of the city, is re-districting of Man
city into six wards and give to each
ward one alderman.
This idea has been advanced by a
number of prominent business men and
it certainly bears the impress of ra-
tional, we'll conceived and thoroughly
practical proposition. AS now censti-
tuted we have four wards and six pre-
cincts. Two of these precincts are en-
tirely unrepresented on the council
e the inside precincts of the First and
Fourth wards have two aldermen each,
while the outside precincts of the same
wards have no aldermen. This is GER
tainiy not fair representation. The
first precinct of the first ward has near
ly as many voters as the Second or
Third wards and should be entitled to
an equal representation Herewith. The
Fourth ward would need be re-district-
ed 30 as to give the West Side voting
population more equal to the other
wards. Two wards could be made from
the present Fourth ward, each with
population equal to, or greater than,
that of the Second or Third. Through
this change another improvement or
advantage could be gained, and that in
reducing the total number Of Aldermen
from eight to SIX. A hundred or two
dollars would be. saved the city in this
way.
There is every reason why a change
of the kind indicated above should be
incorporated in the revised charter and
no apparent reason now presents itself
why proposition of this kind should
meet with opposition. 1t is matter of
sufficient importance to warrant Senator
Barr in giving it his thoughtful consid
Grafton, and we op1ne he will find
hearty response from the people of the
CITY.
Let us get at this charter revision
question in business-like manner, and
while the work is lnlhand let there be no
false modesty to deter any one from
speaking his sentiments and advancing
any ideas that may be of value.

ACTION MUST BE HAD.

1t is now known beyond question of
doubt, that the City Council and Board
of Trade committees selected to Jointly
revise the city charter and give the PEG
pie something more desirable and &C
ceptable than the laws now LAID down
for our municipal government, will new
er agree. They have demonstrated
their inability to get together as ho-
mogeneous whole, being too much OF a
heterogeneous kind. But there are
changes demanded in the charter which
will have to be made, andif the repre-"
sentatiYes from these two bodies cannot
evolve something needful and accepta-
BILE other steps will be taken whereby
the end sought may be attained. Ii
the Board Of Public Works is to be
continued its powers must be more
clearly defined in certain cases and ex-
tended in other. If it Is TO be abolish
ed then provisions must be made for
radically different means of operation
In our street work and other public inn
lllhu SAiSICu tuO Olo
charter. Aldermen who receive no
pay save and except those performed
while sitting in chamber, cannot be ex-
pected to devote the time necessary for
experimenting public improvements.
They will not do it even if it is exacted
of them. Mankato has outgrown her
swaddling clothes. She is not the en-
bryo city of ten or fifteen wears ago.
Her interests are great and growing
and should be carefully guarded by
competent hands. This matter of
charter revision Is of too much impor-
lance to allow petty personal chickering's
to defeat any feature of the case calcu-
lated to be beneficial TO municipal man
agement. What is wanted is concert of
action-free from acrimonious debate
and this can only be had by the inter-
lection of good common sense into all
proceedings.
Let there be some sort of compromise
effort made whereby something can be
accomplished. There is no time to be
wasted in discussing differences or
brooding over the past. What is now
wanted looks only to the future,

From Tuesdays Daily.
CITY COUNCIL.
A Snow Ordinance presented and
laid over for consideration.

The council meeting last night was
presided over by Vice President Jorgen-
sen, and was attended by all of the al
dermen.
A petition was received, asking that
the city vacate 12a feet of the street in
the rear. of lots and 2, block Is, Waite
& Rolofson g addition, and the lear 20 fit.
of lots l, 2, 8. A and 5, In Fletcher and
Wizards addition. There is no travel
there, and nothing needed more than
an alley. A. j. Morrison appeared be-
fore the council and spoke in favor of
the petition. 1t was referred to the
street committee.
City Attorney Young presented an
ordinance to fine any owner, tenant or
holder who does not keep his sidewalk
Clean of snow, ice or other substance,
such as will obstruct travel, not later
than 1000 a. M. each day. or two hours
after the snow occurs, under penalty of
a fl ne Of ST. to $40 for each offense. This
is copy after an ordinance of Carthage,
N. Y, and the courts have held it to be
legal. To enforce it, the offender must
be arrested and fined in court. An
agent can be fined, as we'll as anyone
else. The only trouble will be where
there are vacant lots and the owners are
nonresidents and have no agents located
in the city. Mr.. Young thought that an
assessment might be held illegal, and
such an assessment. put in with the tax
levy, would invalidate the whole. The
ordinance which he presented was the
only one which he would advise the
council to pass.
There is a similar ordinance on the
books now, but it applies to the entire
city, while the idea of Mr.. Young's was
to limit its application to the central
portion of the city.
The matter WIS laid over until the
next meeting, after little discussion.
The main objection was that outsiders
could not be made to clean their walks
by it.
A number Of bills were allowed.
The recorder was instructed 10 pay
the city laborers only $l.25 per day, in
accordance with q resolution passed
July Sth, by which the $3.50 rate holds
good only until Oct. lst. The Novem-
Der pay rolls we've according to the old
rate

up, but the committee said that it was
not vet ready to report, and 1t was laid
over without discussion.
The council then adjourned.
