Railroads prlnfl Development. I After ihe coming of the additional I railroad facilities, developments began, U d Internal differences ceased. Since ths completion of the Clnclnnati-At- Hata linn of the Louisville and Nash- rtlle railroad the population has In- otased from 3,160 to more than 6,000. ihe people have become as one for the pod of the city, and stand wit# de- lermlnnllnn and unity of purpose ready m do anything and everything that 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 mate In nil seasons is delightful and health-giving. Within the bosom of almost every hill nature . has stored a mine of BARTOW COUNTY COURT HOUSE AT CARTERSVILLE. vealth. producing minerals. Almost 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 end other cities, 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 7 h "'. and It will preclude the neces- suy of manufacturing plants going to ■Its expense of erecting their own pow er stations.

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. BSn!a "a-"«on! of Cartersville, werw There la alao a line opportunity for awarded • ^nedai on th. cotton that profitable Inveatmem In a modern Of- I I tributes much toward the bualneesi pf the county and the city of Carteraville. Four miles to the eouth of Carters ville Is the plaht of the Southern Plas- ter company, which 1« one of the moat Important Industrie* In Ihe county.

Dostls of lime, cement and building rtone In the South. The cement made at this plant Is being “*®^ for the manufacture of are fast taking the P'“ c ® product, and for concrete buildings. 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 ..j fing-nfiis that a portion of It la ■hinned direct from thl* point to for- iriS^ountriei there to be woven Into the finest goods.

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.

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.
