I Sill further tho Interests of the city.
Cartersville has long enjoyed a dls
I uarllnn ns being the home town of
I i.ver.il relebrated people. Including Dr.
ind .Mr?. W. H. Felton, the late Major
Charles H. Smith (Bill Arp) and the
late Rev. Sam P. Jones. It has always
(ten known as a quiet residence town,
but now It has to be reckoned with a
buttling little city, filled with patriotic
■nd tireless citlsens, who are willing
to work and light for Cartersville until
I the assumes the place she ought to oc
cupy, by right of her natural advan
tages. In the rankest Southern munlc-
l Ipalltles.
Nature has done more for Carters-
ville than for any other town or city In
the slate of Georgia. Its location was
fashioned for n city as the river bed
was fashioned for a stream. Besting
at the head of the beautiful Etowah
valley, the city Is surrounded by a
' perfect palisade formed by the foothills
[ of the (Hue Ridge mountains that
shield It from disastrous storms. Not
In all Its history has Cartersville ever
suffered at the hands of a byclone.
Mineral Wealth.
Built upon a rolling surface. Its nat-
I oral drainage leaves nothing to be de-
slred. with an altitude of about 1,000
feet above tb( level of. the sen, its cli

every mineral that Is known In the
South is found in the country about
this city.
Cartersville yields • tho palm to no
Southern city for healthfulness. There
Jss never been a dangerous epidemic
known here, and tho death rate Is ex
ceedingly small.
I As n manufacturing point, Carters-
t lie offers more advantages than any
city In tho state. Situated two miles
bom the Etowah river, and closer still
11 three smaller streams, there ran be
round available power sufficient to run
me entire machinery of this and fey

Tho Etowah Power Company la now
Planning to build a dam six miles from
the City that will develop more than
«,W0 horse power, which will be used
to furnish ppwer for an Interurban
railroad between Cartersville and At-
jasti and for manufacturing purposes.
It i« stated on good authority that this
trork wilt begin In the near future and
» pushed to as rapid completion as
Poaslble. This will form a great In-
•wrjent for manufactories to locate
•t this point on account of the greatly
reduced price at which this power can

To Build Blast Furnace.
One of the principal Industries ct
Cartersville and Bartow county la that
of Iron mining. An exceptionally line
grade of brown Iron ore Is found In tho
hills of this county and about sixty car
loads per day are shipped from this
point to furnaces In Alabama and Ten
nessee. A movement Is now on foot to
build a large furnace near this city In
rder that the raw material may be
handled without the necessity of being
shipped to another point for manufac
ture Into pig Iron.
Among the large concern* that are
Interested In the mining of Iron and
steel with offices in Cartersville are
The Southern Steel Company, with 36.
000 acres of mineral lands, owned and
leased In this county. Thfe Etowah De
velopment Company, with about 17,000
acres; the Virginia Iron, Coal and Coke
Company, with large properties In this
and other counties; the Southern Iron
Company, which has several plants now
In operation, and several others In con
templation. The Tennessee Coal. Iron
and Railroad Company have immense
plants four miles to the south of Car-
tersvllte, representing an Investment of
more than 3200,000.
Mining of Ochre.
In the ochre Industry Bartow. county
stands at the- head of all points ot
the United States. It Is the largest
produd_ng_polnt for Peruvian yellow
ochre In' the' country, and the product
Is of such line quality that It Is ex
ported to France and other European
countries direct from Cartersville.
where It made Into a fine grade of
paint and shipped back to the United
States.
Ochre that Is shipped from Carters
ville Is also largely used In the .manu
facture of linoleum, or oil cloth, being
peculiarly adapted to that use. There
are four large concerns Interested In
the mining and shipment of ochre In
Cartersville. The output amounts to
several hundred cars annually,, and at
315 per ton, which Is the average price
received for the product, quite hand
some returns are added to Carteravllle'i
business receipts.
Lumber Industry.
One of the most Important Indus
tries In Cartersville and surrounding
country now Is the' lumber Interests,
Millions of feet of virgin long leaf yel
low pine stand In the forests of Bartow
county awaiting the ax of the lumber
man. The Bartow Lumber Company,
with an Investment of more than
376.000 In a single plant. I* cutting large
quantities of timber and manufactur
ing It Into lumber dally. The plant of
this company Is located four miles from
Cartersville, but Its principal office la
In this city.
A large number of smaller plants
have been erected near Carteraville for
the purpose of manufacturing lumber.
In the city are two big planing mills
with large capacity, running full time
in order to keep up with their orders
In this city alone.
Limestone and Cement.
Situated two and one-half miles from
the city Is the Ladd Lime Company's
plant, which has the reputation for
making the best quality of llmo in
Georgia. The quarry has been worked
lor many years, and although thou
sands of- car loads Of lime have been
taken from It, there seems to be still
an Inexhaustible supply of the gray
stone I here yet. This quarry and the
kilns of the company employ a large
number ot men. nnd Its pay roll con-
they sent there, grown In Bartow
county.
Cartersville has developed Into a good
Inland market for cotton. The high
eat prices are pa|d here at all times
and Its receipts amount to about 10,001
bales annually. The production of the
county Is about 18.000 bales.
Corn, wheat and other grain can be
produced In quantities on Bartow county
farms; In fact almost any crop that
could be planted here would yield
large returns to the planter.
Cartersville a Fruit Center,
As a peach shipping point Carters
ville Is fast forging to the front, and
should there be no damage accruing
from the unseasonable weather of this
spring, this city will ship more than
800 car loads of the luscious Georgia
peaches the coming season. On ac
count of the minerals In the soil, the
most beautiful, as well as the niost de
licious peaches can be grown here, and
the Bartow county peach has been
steadily growing In popular favor In
the Northern markets with each year’s
shipments.
The peach, however. Is not alone In
popularity among . the Bartow fruits.
Plums, apples, grapes, strawberries,
raspberries, watermelons, cantaloupes
and all other semi-tropical fruits can
be grown here with equal succesa.
In addition to Its advantages as a
fruit growing center, Cartersville oilers
wonderful Inducements to those who
would engage in truck growing. The
soils of tho-country lylngdn Ihe vicini
ty of this city are peculiarly-adapted to
the glowing of almost every variety
of vegetables. Situated on the main
line ot the Louisville and Nashville
lice building. Also a modern hotel nnd
a flat or family boarding house.
City Government.
The municipal government of Car
tersville Is In the hands of a mayor
and eight councllmen and aldermen.
Under a new city charter that was en
acted a law by the lakt legislature these
officers are elected for a term of one
year. They have entire charge of the
affairs of the city and have supervision
over the different departments.
The present administration has
proven aggressive and tireless In Its
work for the good of the city. While
safeguarding the city finances as much
as possible, the present mayor and
council have done all In their power
to bring about needed Improvements
In the city, New streets have been
opened, others paved and repaired nnd
a large sum of money has been expend
ed In laying sewerage.
Amenable to the mayor and council
are the water, light and bond commis
sion, which was established under the
new city charter; the school board, the
wajter and light superintendent, the
street superintendent, the sanitary of
ficer and the police department.
The present 'council Is composed ol
Paul Gllreath. mayor; Walker Alley,
John Stanford, F. C. Watkins, M. F.
Word. H. J. Galt, John Adair, George
S. Cobb, and Dr. Harris.
Water, Light and Bond Commission.
The new charter creaii
ied a new de-
provlng to be a decided advantage
to the transaction of tho municipal
business. This Is the water, light and
bond commission, oopiposed of three of
Cartersvllte’s most prominent and suc
cessful business men—W. Vaughan,
John P. Lewis and R. M. Gaines. The
commission has charge of all the out
standing bonds of the city. It con
trols the water plant, the gas and sew
erage plants and will have charge of
the new electric light plant thnt Is
being constructed now for the city.
The gentlemen composing, this com,
mission have demonstrated their own
business ability and little fear la en
tertained that they will fall to admin
ister the affairs of the .city, with suc
cesa.
Publto Buildings,
The city hall, or council room, which
was in the opera house building, all
belonging to the city, was recently
condemned os unsafe, and was sold to
the Knights of Pythlns. The building
will be torn away and fepalred at once
by Its purchasers. In the meantime
the city will build a new office building
on the east side of town for the accom
modation of the police and Are depart
ments. the puhllo officers and the
water, light and bond commission.
There being no opera house here
now. In consequence of the sale of the
building by the city, an opening Is left
for private parties to build an amuse
ment hall of some description. The
Bartow county court house, which Is
one of the handsomest in the state. Is
situated in the very heart of the city,
and Is considered one of the sights of
Cartersville.
Public Improvements.
foments are being
the Carteraville waterwork
the latter road will be farced to build
a line of Its own.
With these new lines. Cartersville
will be a great railroad center, and
will be In better condition than ever to
handle the business that Is coming Its
way.
Free Postal Delivery.
As In keeping with the growth and
development of the city, the Carters
ville postofflee has been steadily gain
ing In receipts until it has reached the
amount required by the postoffice de
partment before giving a free mall de
livery. The business here for thp past
year has been more than 26 per cent
greater than'the year before, and Post
master Akerman has applied for a fr* s
delivery service for this city. It Is un
derstood that the service will be In
augurated In July of this year.
What Cartersville Needs.
A large and up-to-date hotel for
summer visitors, among other things. Is
badly needed In Cartersville. There is
ample room for such an enterprise, and
It would prove a good Investment. Hun
dreds of Inquiries come to the city each
year from people who would' spend
their summers here, but at present
there are not ample quarters for them.
A large canning factory, a creamery,
a wagon and buggy factory, a crate
factory, a stove factory, a sash and
door factory and several wholesale
stores of different kinds would And nn
ample Held for operation In Carters
ville.
The people are all for the good -of
the elty, and any ne«v enterprise would
be welcomed to Cartersville.
of the- most modern and most complete
plants In the Bouth. The center of the
city will he amply lighted with about
75 arc laipps.
Health and Sanitation,
On account ot Its perfect natural
drainage the healthfulness of Carters
ville Is equal to that of any town or
city In the. country. Owing to Its roll
ing surface, there Is scarcely a place
In the city or near It, whore water will
stand, thus the danger of epidemics
such ns typhoid and malaria Is lessen
ed. Within the past year there have
been a number of trunk line sewers
built by the city on tho principal
streets, and’ this work will continue
until the whole city Is completely
drained by sewerage. It Is said by
leading physicians here that Carters
ville offers, exceedingly fine Inducc-
a ts for Investment In establishing a
tariitfn for the treatment of all
diseases.
Public Schools.
Few cities of the South have better
railroad, shippers of fruit and vege
tables would And a ready market for
all vegetables that could be raised hero
In Cincinnati, and points north, and It
would be possible to gather vegetables
In Cartersville In tho afternoon and
have them in Cincinnati for breakfast
the following morning. This section Is
so located that vegetables rased here
would mature Just after those of Flor
ida and other Southern points had
gone, and before garden truck was
ready for market In the middle states.
A number of farms about Carters?
Vine are suited for the dairy and
creamery business, and there Is a line
opening here now for a large cream
ery-
Real Estate.
Real estate conditions ln # Cartersville
are Just now peculiarly favorable for
Investments. There Is no boom and
no boom symptoms. Prices are reas
onable and thero are no wild cat
scheme afoot to catch the unwary. The
town la steadily growing nnd.therc la
a healthy feeling In all Ita part*. New
houses are rising on the east side; In
west end. In the north side and on
the south. Vacant lota can be had at
reasonable prices and any Investor can
be sure of safe returns on money plant
ed in any part of Cartersville quickly
coming when It will attract thousands
of home seekers and become a favored
place of residence. It Is beautiful for
situation. To the south runs the Eto
wah river with the Allatoona hills ris
ing In the background. To the west
unfolds a farming section unsurpassed
In the Bouth'. To the north Is the beau-
tlful village of the American Textile
Company, with Us modern buildings,
neatly painted iiousis, paved streets
end well kept,parks; while to the east
rise range after range of hills crown
ed by pine forests and filled with In
exhaustible deposits of rich ores that
are an unfailing source of revenue to
our people.
The demand for house* la good at
I II seasons and rents pay a good per
int nn Investments. More than one
hundred hemes were built wlthlr. th*
corporate limits of the city In 1906, and
It is believed this number will be dou
bled In 1907. One cltisen who recently
built five cottages to rent, had twenty-
ore application* from tenants before
the housee were ready for occupancy.
The demand for-two years past has
been far beyond Ihe supply; and seems
to be steadily Increasing.

1 Agricultural Intsrests.
In addition to Ita mining and manu
facturing interests, Cartersville has the
advantage of being located In the flneat
agricultural section of the state, this
fact being proven by premiums taken
at the Georgia State Fair,'and by It*
showing at other places. •
Cartersville Is the county »®*t ot
Bartow, the richest farming section of
the state, and where lands will pro
duce almost any crop known to-a seml-
tronlcal latitude. As a cotton growing
section this county is not surpassed In
the state. Its staple being of such length

finished, this city will have as good
water supply as can be found In the
country. From a crystal spring run
nlng out of the banks of the Etowah
river, Jusf two miles from town, the
water Is tajeen and pumped Into a large
standpipe, which stands on a hill over
looking Carteraville, and of such height
that It gives a pressure of 75 pounds
to the square Inch, thereby precluding
the necessity of Are engines In case
of Are. This plant has been the prop
erty of the city for a number of years,
and has been conducted by the municl-
pallty with proAt.
For several 'years Cartersville has
owned Its gas plant, but It was of such
construction that It did not give com
plete satisfaction. The city has Just
completed a .new plant for making coal
gaH. which will be Used for lighting, a*
well as commercial and domestic con
sumption.
The people of Cartersville recently
voted nn Issue o( bonds for the purpose
ot building an electric light sys\em. As
sobn as tna bonds could be sold the
work of building the plant began, and
It Is now nearing completion. It la
promised that the lights will he turned
on within thirty days. This will be one
schools than the public schools of Car
tersville. The municipality owns three
large school |bulldlngs, two for the
whites, and one for the colored chil
dren. The building In which the high
school and one of the gratnmar'schools
Is located waa originally built for the
Sam Jones Female College. It la

Barnard la pastor, has the largest mem.
bershlp, numbering (00. This church
has n Ane modern building which has
recently been completed, standing di
rectly opposite the new court house.
The structure Is of the Gothic type and
Is pointed out as one of the attractions
of th* city.
The Methodist church, second In
point of membership, is non- building
a handsome new edifice, which will be
known as the Ham Jones Memorial
church, upon Its completion. This
building when finished will be one of
the handsomest of its type In the
South- The building , Is patterned
somewhat after the Parthenon, it 1s
expected that this church will be com
pleted early the coming autumn In or
der ihBt it may be ready for the com
ing of tho North Georgia Conference,
which will meet here In November.
Rev. G. W. Duvall Is pastor of this
church.
The Presbyterian church Is located

beautiful and convenient churches In
the city. A large new Sunday school
room has recently been added to this
church. Rev. W. A. Cleveland Is pas

Carteraville Hotsls.
There are two -hotels In the city at
present, both of which have recently
undergone many Improvements. Sev
eral tltoqsand dollars have been spent
In .plumbing anil sanitary Improve
ments. Telephones, gas, electric lights
and all modem^convenlem-es are being
Installed in the hotels, and they prom
ise to be up to date In every particu
lar.
Banking Interests.
With four flourishing banks, Car-'
tersvltle has perhaps more of theae In
stitutions than any city Its size In the
state. There are here oiie national, two
state and one savings’hanks, with a
combined capital of ove» liM.OOO. Each
of the banks Is In the Anost.condition
and reporta Increased buslnjas with
each month.
This city Is the best mule market
also, with the exception of Atlanta, In
Georgia. Thousands of mules are sold
hero each year, and In several
stances dealers from Atlanta have came
to this city to purchase wholesale mules
to be resold In Atlanta, the second best
mule market In tho world. There are
two large stock yards in the city de
voted to the sale of horses and mules,
nnd hundreds of carloads of the anl
mats are disposed of annually.

paid a city tax ot 9( cents on the
hundred.
Cotton Mill.
Located Just two miles out from the
city limits Is the magnlflcent property
of the American Textile Company, upon
which la now In operation one of the
finest cotton mills anywhere to be
found. To those who have been taught
to shudder at the mere mention of a
cotton mill town a visit to the little city,
surrounding the big mills of the Amerl
can Textile Company would prove i
pleasant surprise.
Upon a site chosen for Its sanitary
advantages, the cnmpany"’fiaiT*built a
number of houses for the operatives
that would compare favorably with the
residence portion of any city many
limes Its size. The streets are paved
in the most approved manner; electric
lights gleam upon Its thoroughfares at
night; a perfect system of waterworks
Ik Installed In the houses and on the
streets for.domestic use and lire pro
tection. aifl the natural drainage la
supplemented by a modern system of
sewerage.
The mill of the American Textile
Company at Atco Is one ot the largest
and perhaps the most modern In the
Southern states. There are in opera
tion now 30)000 spindles and 800 looms,
but It la understood that the mill will
be Increased to double Its present ca
pacity within the near future.
The plant Is operated by steam and
Is lighted by electricity generated by
Its own lighting plant. The offleera of
the American Textile Company's mill
nt Atco are: E. L. McClain, president;

New Railroad*.
There are In contemplation three new
railroads for Cartersville. Including the
electric lines to Rome nnd to Atlanta,
and the extension of the Louisville and
Nashville from this city to Atlanta.
It Is said by those who are In position
to know that the electric lines will
surely be built, and that within the
nenr future, and on acoount of the con
gested condition ot the Western and
Atlantic railroad, over which the
trains of the Louisville and Nashville
