WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 24, 1875.
We Must Go to Work;
We endorse fully the letter of Thus. J.
Perry, in our last issue, in relation to the
navigation of the Etowah liver. We feel
that we are all too careless, too indifferent
io our own interest. Our people wish to
be great and good, wish to be rich and in
fluential, but they are not willing to help
themselves so to be, not willing to reach
forth their strong arms, prefer to sit still and
let the country grow if it will; “don’t want
the corn unless it is shelled.” We have a
wonderful country if it was only developed,
and we know of no enterprise better calcu
lated to do good than the one spoken of
above. We must go to work, we must
write and talk, never quit the struggle un
til the waters of the Etowah are plowed
with steamers, opening up to the people of
Cherokee and adjoining counties a market
with the outside world for their productions
of cotton, grain, timber, marble, iron, cop
per, etc. We w'ant to see it, and feel a
great interest in the enterprise, we wish to
see our country standing on high ground;
wk want to hear the shrill whistle ot the
engine in our corn fields, we want to see
new life infused into the minds of our peo
ple, and see them prosperous and happy.
To succeed in this enterprise, let the people
memoralize Congress through ou* represen
tative, Dr. Felton, who we feel will take
an active interest in the matter. Now is
the time to commence to work, a good start
is half the battle. We know that there are
men in our midst that will laugh at the idea
of running steamers on the Etowah, so it is
with all great enterprises. We find croak
ers in all ages and countries; to such we
would say get out of the way, stand to one
side, if you please. S.
Hard Times.
The complaint about hard times has be
come chronic, and it seems that there is no
hope of relief in the near future. The cause
of hard times, in our opinion, is extrava
gance among the people. The remedy is
economy. Those who make their own
supplie s and have not indu’gcd in super
fluities are not affected with the prevailing
epidemic, “hard times.” The people all
over the county complain of poverty, and
yet they recklessly run in debt every year
for fine clothes, fine hats, shoes, boots, fine
equipage, and in many instanc- slive beyond
their means, and hard times is the conse
quence. There is too much “inflation.”
“Contraction” is what is needed. Let
everybody’ try to cover less ground and
cut off unnecessary expenses. A penny
wise and pound foolish policy will not ac
complish the end desired, but a timely stop
page of leaks which arc draining the suit
stance of tlie people away, will do the
work. If we make more than we spend
we can prosper, but it our expenditures ex
ceed our income bankruptcy will come at
last, and will come speedily. There is
money enough if we have anything to bring
it Like water it seeks its level, and it
stops with those who produce an equiva
lent for it. Foi years it has flown in a
thousand channels out of the South, but
there is no current flowing this way. Our
people nil wear imported goods, eat im
parted provisions, use imported furniture,
ride in imported vehicles tfhd almost live
in imported houses 1 No wonder we have
hard times in a chronic form, and are fast
Incoming “hewers of wood and drawers of
waler” for other people. We could be
the most independent people in the werld
if wc would practice a little common sense,
exercise a little self-denial and go to work
to help ourselves.
“In vain with lavish kindness
The gifts of God an* strewn”
at our feet and all around us. We fail to
improve our advantages and sit down and
co nplain of hard times. Unselfish people!
W(* are the voluntary slaves of other peo
ple! Oh, for emancipation.
Personal.
Our young friends, Dr. Tom Gower and Bil
ly Edwards, of Cartersville, sp ml a night
with us last week. They w *re driving s
horse apiece, and to each horse were ut
i ached three new buggi h. We would say
something tn Tiik Georgian almut the
buggies and harness manufactured by them,
but they might think we were meddling
with (heir private business, and we forbear.
We will venture, however, to say of friend*
Gower and Edwards that they do not be
long to the kid-gloved gentry who try to
make a living without honest labor, but to
that noble class of our citizens who pride
themselves on producing more than they
consume. We hope they will oiten pull,
our latch-string and give us the pleasure ot
shaking their hands.
We stated some time ago that Gen. W.
T. Wolford had attached himself to the
Presbyterian church. We have since
learned Unit we were mistaken, and that
he has become a mcmlier of the Methodist
church. It is gratifying to know that such
a mar. as Gen. Wofford has espoused the
cgv.se of chiislianity, and it matters but lit
tle to what particular branch of the church
hr belongs, tor he is a man ot large heart
and liberal \ lews; and nil good men ot
Whatever d nomination, and every good
cause will have in him an able, influential
arid true friend.
Col. John W. Wofford, senator of the
4-1,1 District, we learn has resigned his seat
in the legislature, giving a-- hi» reasons f*»r
so doing that lii» duties asa h-gislator inter- i
fvrtd with those of bis profession a* a law. i
yet; ami that hebopistsed to the annual '
meeting* ot U»e legislature, ami isunwdling
U> receive bis ot the uiouccasauy ex-1
pense of excessive legislation, “or words to
that effect.” All right, Col., but you should
have attended the next session of the gen
eral assembly in order to aid in bringing
about the desired change, and a little more
of that “moral miasma” would not have
hurt you. Every four years is often enough
to meet to make and repeal laws which no
body can understand. -
Opening the Etowah.
Rome, Ga., Nov. 10,1875.
Editors Georgian : I clip the following
from your valuable paper of last week:
One of the most fertile sections of coun
try anywhere is the valley along the Eto
wah river to Dawson county. An investi
gation of its various elements of wealth
will convince any one of the truth of the
venerable Mark A. Cooper’s assertion, that
“the country along the Etowah from. Car
tersville to Rabun gap is the richest in the
South, if not in America.”
The most important question before the
people of Cherokee is, How can its popula
tion be quadrupled ? All admit that we
have only one-fourth of the people needed
to cultivate its richest lands properly, to
say nothing of developing its mines and
utilizing its vast water power*. The com
ing hero is the man who can offer a plan
that will fuliy answer this question.
I don’t propose to be a “hero,” by any
means, but I “can offer a plan that will
fully answer this question.” The plan is,
to get your people to go to work to secure
Government aid to open the Etowah to
navigation to the gulf. The way to do
this is to arm and equip our Representa
tive in Congress, Hon. W. H. Felton, with
all the data you can collect, to enable him
to acquaint Congress with the importance
of opening the river. Congees* knows but
little, if anything, comparatively speaking,
about the river and the vast resources of
your section of country, and never will un
til the citizens thereof are disposed to put
themselves to some little trouble in bring
ing this matter before Congress in a busi
ness-like way.
General P. M. B. Young, our late able
representative in Congress, would have had
the river opened leng since, if your citizens
had have furnished the information ho
called for from time to time, but he could
not get a response from any one in your
section. AU stood with their arms akimbo,
indifferent to the wants and necessities of
their a runty. The General did succeed,
however, in getting the river surveyed, the
report ot which will be published in the
Rome Courier next week. I wish every
man in your county and the counties ad
joining, would get & copy. Can’t you pub
lish it ?
In 1872, there were two steambo;;Wom
panies organized here —one called the North
Georgia and E’St Tennessee Steamboat
company, the other the Elownh Steamboat
Company. Captain L. M. Hall of Resaca
was elected president of the former, with a
full board of directors ; Hon. Thea. Tom
lin of Euharlee, with a full board of direct
ors, for the latter. Both were on the same
footing. General Young notified them that
he was ready and willing to do all he could
to assist them in securing appropriations to
open the rivers, and asked them to furnish
him with the necessary data.
The result is easily told. Captain Hall
and his board went to work and built a
boat, notified General Young that they were
navigating the Oostanaula and tlie Coosa
wattce rivers, but could not do so success
fully unless they could >ecure an appropri.
at ion to remove the obstructions out of
those rivers, and at the same time furnisln d
him with the necessary information show
ing the importance of epening the rivers.
General Young went before the appropriate
committee and secured tbeir indorsement,
and then introduced a bill and obtained an
appropriation. The Department then sent
their engineer, General James Tilton, to do
the work which he has done, and the boats
are now running from Carter’s Landing
down to Rome, and thence to Greensport,
Alabama.
Tumlln and his board, after being duly
installed into office, eoUapsed Gen. Young
never could succeed in bringing them to
the surface again. The resuft is, nothing
has l«een done but having the river sur
veyed, and that was done by Young’s own
energy and his personal popularity with
the Department at Washington.
Now, this is a true statement of facts,
and shows that the North Georgia and
East Tennessee Steamboat company had
pluck and energy, and the Etowrah Steam
boat company had not. I hope your people
will learn a good lesson from it. I assure
you Congress will never assist any commu
nity or section that has no disposition to
assist itself, or show some signs of life or
vitality. All that it will do for a dead
thing is to bury it out of sight, whare it
ought to be.
Stir up yonr people. Get them to act in
concert in showing up their county. We
would be pleased to have them make a dis
play of their agricultural products, miuer
als, etc., at the Fair here next fall, if noth
ing else. It will be a good way of telling
the world what they have, and what they
can produce. Work for the Etowah.
Yours, Tima. J. Perry.

Our Newspapers—No. 8.
“Dearest thou, Caussius, now
Leap iu with me into this angry'flood,
And swim to yonder point ?”
The sea of journalism, Messrs. Editors,
may justly be compared to the Tilrer at
Rome, or any other surging flood whose
rumbling waves might tempt the great
Caesar in a trial of physical endurance. But
my purpos'e in this will be to conduct your
readers to the point worthy of the journal
ist’s ambition—the true haven of rest and
culture —frbm which he m»y look back
after a lifetime of patient labor and feel
with an approving conscience that his days
have been well spent, and that his country
and his Creator are prepared to bestow a
glorious epitaph upon his lifework: “Well
done, thou good and faithful servant.”
Firstly, then, let all the brotherhood of
journalists—daily, tri - weekly, weekly,
monthly or semi-annually—remember they
are great educators, as well as newsbearer*;
educators in morals, religion, intelligence,
taste, laws, accomplishments, in every kind
of mind culture, heart culture, as also physi
cal and material advancement; that ivory
paragraph, every original piece, every pub
lication set up, is destined upon one, or it
may be upon a thousand, minds to have au
eff.-ct for good or for evil; and that whatso
ever is pure, whatsoever is true, or •charit
able or just, or beautiful, or righteous, or
progressive, to man with all bis high desti
nies—those things should they, above all
others, seek often, and keep them constantly
before the world.
S condly. In intercourse, one with an
other, there should be no malice or jealous
ies. . If a brother journalist prospers, is that
any reason one should despise or seek to
overthrow him? If he is guilty of mis
represen ing or not giving proper credit,
will it make him better or you any happier
or more beloved to call him a thief? Such
is not the workings of charity, neither is it
the road to peace of mind. Chide him
gently, and set him right. Never was the
lion of the forest made tame by spears and
cuffs, still less the savage tiger; but often
both have been subdued entirely by patient
affection and kind feeding.
Thirdly. Messrs. Editors, the Press should,
with equal and united purpose, abstain
from flattery, especially flattery of public
characters, public entertainments, politi
cians, et id omne genus. When such per
sons have done their very best, have they
performed one whit more their service?
No, sir. No one objects to merited com
mendation of worthy deeds; bat, Sirs, such
things are expected of talent, patriotism,
and high station. Such is the just tribute
due the public in return for weighty respon
sibilities or large fees. Alas! for a country
in which its public servants will encourage,
or be influenced by, the envy-breeding, de
caying and specious tongue of green eyed
Flattery I How many noble hearts, worthy
souls, have been made to ache and sigh by
reason of her defiling fingers. Save us, we
pray you, teachers of America, from Flat
tery,
Fourthly. A pure style and faultless dic
bon should be sought after and studied—
yes, sirs, studied. How few attain to it.
When one meets with it, the association,
we imagine, is like that of inhaling the
rich spices of Arabia amidst the dreary,
tenantless desert of Sahara. It would come
to the weary traveler as a pkdge from an
Infinite Spirit that beyond that arid wa-»te
there were blessings awaiting him that
would call forth his loftiest heroism and
powers of endurance. American father*
and mothers, we are sure, cau not wish to
indoctrinate their children into a glib use
of slang, nor the corrupting blasphemies
of pickpockets, incendiaries, or assassins.
Give us unadulterated English, interspersed,
when occasion calls for it, by such quota
tion* as are most scholarly and best ap
proved.
Fifthly. We would have the make up of
our Newspapers, especially the l uge city
paper*, more modest and decon u.«, both tn
pretension and execution. It is said that
in rme of the European capitals, where
fn< desty in the walking costume ofladh * i»
st! essential requisite to gentility,our Amer
ican ladies of fashion are at once recog
nized, on account, partly, of feature, but
particularly from gaudineu of dress. We
wonder if the fashion is not caught from our
city dailies, pictorials, and magazines. We
think it most likely. At all events, it is
certain that the Vanity Fair style of such
jourpnls is the laughing-stock of cultivated
Europeans, and is seriously deprecated by
all sober, reflecting, rational people of this
country who have any respect for lite
Christian grace calletl Modesty.
But, Messrs. Editors, we must here con
clude this essay, in the sincere hope that its
composition and publication,—prompted m
they have been by our conceptions of the
Tnte, the Beautiful, and the Good, and
with no spirit of malice toward any one
may influence one nr more of your brother
hood in journalism, who revere such things,
and will be profiled thereby, if, indeed, we
have made it appear that our views are cor
rect and useful. T<> the patient reader, who
ba* followed us through, we wottM express
the wish that be Ims not found our argu
ment too lengthy, as our prime desire is to
bnve our common country apjwove and
adopt all things tending to strengthen, en
noble, and purify it. Vibgil.

THE GREAT EVENTS OF THE
COMING YEAR.
No man or family should be without *
newspaper. It is the most intelligent and
entertaining visitor to any household, and is
the best of all educators. Besides this ad
mitted tapt, there are now additional rea
sons for subscribing to a good newspaper.
Perhaps no year of the hist half century
furnished a greater combination of Impor
tant and Thrilling Events than will the year
approaching The Presidential contest, the
Gulreraatortal election, the Centennial and
other Great Events transpire. As in the
past, *o in the future,
THE ATLANTA CONSTITUTION,
Published at the Capital ot the Slate, will
be foremost in the Chronicling of all New*.
Political, Commercial, Agricultural, Relig
ious, of Legislatures and Conventions. A
Democratic Journal, it is Independent ot
all Political or Personal Influences, and is
Free to devote itself to the Best Interests of
the People of Georgia and the South. It
is acct.pled throughout the Union as the
Representative Paper of the State. The
Constitution is known as
TUB PEOPLE'S PAPER.
It has attained a prosperity as such, second
to no paper in the South. As a Family
Journal, containing Political and Literary
Reading, General News, Stories arc! Poetry.
Humor, and Practical Information, it is
popular in many States. Additional fea
tures of interest have lately l»een added,
making it a still more welcome visitor to
every home.
The Constitution, having been the means
of opening up North Georgia to the people
of this country as never Irefore done, is now
organizing an Expedition for the Explora
tion of the Great
OKKFENOKKE SWAMP,
the terra incognita of Georgia. Several
months will be devoted to the work, which
will lie of service to the State, and mark an
era in its history. • Subscriptions should be
made at once to secure full reports of this
Expedition, which will furnish moslvalua
ahle information and rich adventures.
A marked feature of The Constitution
wifl be its Department of
HUMOROUS READING,
original and selected. No pains will Ire
spared to make it equal in this respect to
any newspaper in the country. In fine, the
Grave and the Gay, the Useful and the En
tertaining, will be’ presented to its readers.
U|>on n haxisof assured prosperity, it will Ire
able to fully execute all its undertakings.

To the citizens of Cherokee
county:
After having been engaged for
nine years in the mercantile busi
ness in your midst, I have become
convinced tliat the credit system is
all wrong. To follow it, a merchant
has either to charge enormous pro
fits, or ruin himself by selling on
time. Those of you who pay
promptly have to pay such large
profits that the merchants can, af
ford to lose the accounts of your
neighbors who are not disposed to
pay, or who are unfortunate and
can not pay. In other words, good
men have to pay for the goods pur
chased by their unfortunate or
dishonest neighbors. This state of
things is wrong, and when a man
is satisfied that he is wrong he
should change his course, or be
held responsible for living in the
j Fully convinced that the above
' position is correct, I have deter
mined to sell, after the Ist of De
cember next, exclusively for cash
or barter. I can and will sell at
least twenty per cent, cheaper, the
stock through, than I have ever
sold. lam in favor of every per
son paying for hi« own goods, and
hope none of my old customers
and friends will be offended when
I say to them that after the Ist of
December I will sell for cash or
barter only. I will be do respecter
of persons, will require cash from
every one, and positively will not
open my books to charge any item,
be it ever so small, to the best mail , i
in the county. If you have cash
or barter, call and examine my
stock and prices before purchas
ing elsewhere, and you will then 4
i be fully satisfied with my new de
parture. I charge nothing for ex
hibiting goods, or giving prices,
and when you have examined the
one and heard the other, you will
then be convinced it is to your in
terest to pay as you go.
• All those who are indebted to
me, or to the firm of McAfee A
Moss, must come forward and make
immediate settlement*. This is
my last call.
Very respectfully,
_ls-lm J. M. McAFEE.
