FOK ST Alt SENATOR,
OSIon Murk A. Cooper,
Of kotoa Coaatv.
Theolectio.i will ; io lull juJthij. 15th of De
cember- I . ;
to the ru>Lic.
The undersigned, former proprie
tors of the -Standard & Express,
.. hereby announce to the public that
they have this day sold the same to
Mr. C. H. C. Willingham, late editor
of the Rome Courier , together with
all the material, subscription lists
and all the attachments in any wise
belonging to said paper.
The paper will, therefore, hence
forth he published by him, and with
this issue begins what we hope and
believe will be a prosperous career
and eminently contributive to the
best interests of Bartow county.
Long identified with the press of
Georgia, having had under his edito
rial management some of its leading
papers, the high character of his abil
ity asan accomplished, well-informed
and independent journalist which he
sustains through >ut the State, we are
sure, will at once not only gratify the
eitizens of this county, but will, as it
ought to do, insure a large and gen
erous patronage.
The proprietors have, for many
reasons, for some time past denred
to sell the paper, but in doing so
were solicitous that whoever might
become its purchaser should boa gen
tleman of such ability and character
in his vocation as should command
the respect of the people at large, and
attractively to present through hi
columns the commanding but unde
veloped resources and advantages of
this immediate section of Cherokee
Georgia. Such a man we have found
in Mr. Willingham, the iate, distin
guished Democratic editor of the La-
Grange Reporter and, since then, of
fhe Atlanta Sun and the Rome
Courier, and hereby recommend him
to the favor and good will of Bartow
county.
In conclusion, we have only to say
that the sale which we have made of
the paper, thereby causing a change
in its conduct, so far from being
caused by any desire to sustain, en
dorse, or in any way to favor any
real or supposed rings, was caused
solely by the fact that the Messrs.
Marschalk, the late lessens of the
Standard & Express, for a, long
timc-utterly failed to pay the rent
for tli* 1 building in which the paper
was printed, as well as for the press
and material; and frankly admitting
their inability to do so, at the same
time* expressing their readiness to
deliver up the whole concern at any
time requested, we were therefore
compelled, in justice to ourselves, to
dispose of it. We notified them that
we should do so and have so done,
hereby protesting that any other idea
is altogether imaginary.
Tin*: Late Proprietors.
From the above it will be seen
that t h:ivo boeoiiio the proprietor of
the Standard and Repress, together
with its good-will, presses, printing
material otud subscription book, and
aii the appurtenances appertaining
thereto. The contracts for the exist
ing ad vertisements have already been
transferred to the Planters' Advocate,
a paper published by the Messrs.
Marschalk, late lessees of the Stan
dard and Express, who will carry
them out.
The paper will hereafter be known
as The Cari ersville Express, but
I shall retain all the right and title to
the old name. S andard is dropped
from the main heading as a matter of
brevity and convenience, and Car
tersville sabslhuted to give the paper
more local significance, and to be
known as such. The readers of the
old paper will soon learn to appreciate
our present heading as not only very
appropriate, but equally expressive of
the character I hope to give the pa
per under my management. I in
tend to make it a lively and progres
sive newspaper, and shall run it on
The Express line.
The cordial reception I have met
in Cartersville and Bartow county
from all with whom I have been in
troduced, inspires me with confidence
that I shall receive the full co-opera
tion of the citizens of the town and
county in my efforts to advance the
material progress of both. I shall
make every effort to do my best to
advance the prosperity of Carters
vilie, Bartow county and surround
ing counties, and I shall soon con
vince all that The Express will not
be the organ of any ring uncier wnar
sofevpr name it may be designated,
but will be the friend of the people
with whom I now become identified
with the firm and unalterable pur
pose of presenting one of the freest
and best weekly papers in the State,
charges ami insinuations to the con
trary. I would scorn to publish a
paper not the true and unflinching
friend of the people and the advocate
of their rights and interests. A
record of twenty-three years of edito
rial life will put to blush any false
statement that The Express will be
anything else than what I now pro
pose and shall strive to carry out in
all my labors.
The Express will be thoroughly
and uncompromisingly Democratic,
opposed to all innovations upon the
principles of our matchless system of
government as established by the
fathers of the Republic, a govern
ment organized for the people and
by the people upon the basis of free
government. While conservative
and dignified in tone, it will un
shrinkingly defend the rights of the
South against all attempts to oppress
our people. Believing the I)smo
fraiic party the only political organ
ization capable of giving peace and
harmony to the country bv the resto
ration of the old landmarks of our
fathers, The Express will ever seek
o make it the true exponent of the
e .P eo P’° and strenuously
ppose all rings, cliques or combina
t||s deffeat|||e popu^p
flavin’truotah'd in Carfersville for
the purpose of permanent residence,
I shall exert ev?ry energy to promote
the highest interests of B irtow coun
ty and her beautiful county site—
striving to .harmonize the Interests
and to promote the prosperity of
both alike, because inseparable. Nei
ther can prosper if the other suffers
in material power or strength.
What conduces to the interests of
Bartow county promotes the welfare
of Cartersvilitk and the progress of
Cartersvillo rests upon the successful
development of the agricultural and
mineral resources of the county
a*id surrounding country. To pro
mote this harmony and unity of co
operation between the people of the
town and the county The Express
will give its best energies.
In conclusion, I have only to say
that my fortune is cast with this peo
ple. Their success is mine—their
misfortunes will be mine. I only
ask that they will trust an honest
purpose to be faithful and true to all
—the cause of right and of justice.
I hope to meet all as friends, united
and x*esolved to make Bartow county
the garden spot of Georgia, and Car
tersville the fairest and loveliest little
city in the “Empire State of the
South.”
C. H. C. Willingham.
TO IHE P EOPLK OF BARTOW.
Asa journalist who has ever en
deavored to be honest and true to the
right, we have a few statements we
desire to make to the honest men of
Bartow county injustice to The Ex
press.
It has been announced in] this pa
per and another one just started in
Cartersville that we are to be the or
gan of a ring. The purpose of this
charge is readily understood by all
intelligent men. It has been made
to injure this paper and the present
proprietor, and to build up thereby
another. The charge is not only
false, but has been made in the face
of a personal statement to those who
made it, that the editor of The Ex
press had never published an organ
for any ring, clique or combination,
and never could do such a thing.
Such a course would be suicidal as
any sensible man must know. It
would be cutting our own throat—
committing self-destruct ion*
To the planters we have to say that
The Express will labor to advance
their interests —for when they pros
per we hope to prosper also, because
we intend to exert the influence of
this journal for the general interests
of all classes. We shall convince all
that whatever of prejudice has been
manufactured on known false pre
mises in t.’iis county against us has
boon clone through attempted impo
sition upon the honesty and intelli
gence of the people of Bartow coun
ty. We h tvo in) fear that tin: far
mers and planters of B irto.v will en
tertain the unjust prejudice, if they
do so now, when they nave given us
a fair chance to show the true char
acter of t’nis paper. We art* entitled
to a fair hearing, and believe that
the good people of this county will
give it to us before condemning us.
file present editor of filß Ex-
PUEsi never before hud his honesty
or independence disparaged. lie
bought out the Standard and Express
as a legitimate business transaction,
and has come to Cartersville and
Bartow county to live and to labor
for the interests of both. lie does not
propose to do s > by arraying prejudi
ces, because lie cannot afford to adopt
such a narrow-minded policy.
We intend to give the people a
good and reliable, honest and square
paper, free and untrammeled, an un
bought and unpurchasable journal,
devoted to the bust and highest in
terests of this county. This paper
will be edited and printed in Carters
ville. It will be a home paper and
made at home by homo labor and
home talent, s> that all the voney
expended in its publication will be
spent at home. It will be the organ
of the whole people of Bartow coun
ty, without reference to classes. It
shall defend the right. It is edited
and printed for no other object. It
has no other mission. It could not
and ought not to live in the pursu
ance of any other course. It shall be
the people’s paper, and not the ex
clusive friend of any class of people.
Whoever attempts to charge other
wise knowingly commits a base false
hood for personal motives, and we
we scorn and contemn the spirit or
instinct that prompts and moves
and utters so baseless a charge.
Wo hwo briefly oiotocl ond llOlleSt
ly given to tlie readers of this paper
our purposes, and ask them to do us
justice. For our integrity and hon
esty as a journalist, we refer to our
past record, which has yet been un
sullied, and is endorsed by the best
and most distinguished men all over
this State.
We are compelled to have more to
say of ourself in this issue than is
agreeable, hut it is in self-defense.
After this week’s paper weshall have
no more to say unless forced to, as
we are determined not to bore our
readers with the discussions of a
profitless controversy.
Our Home List of Subscribers.
—One of the most gratifying events
connected with our leaving Home to
publish a paper in Cartersville, was
that we received eixty-five subscri
bers for Tiie Express. This list
was made almost without effort, and
we believe we could have secured
double that list if we had made any
thing like an effort. This is a per
sonal compliment we appreciate
more than the amount of money in
the subscriptions. We hope always
to deserve such evidences of warm
friendship. May our Home friends
ever prosper.
The North Georgia Conference is
in session this week at Griffin. We
hope to be able to give a list of the
appointments for 1875 in our next
issue.
f ! i PM ' j i-|
DEPRESSION OF THV, FARMING IN-
I''' 1 TERESTS.
* '
The great depression of our farm
ing interests is owing to the produc
tion of too much cotton and too little
grain growing. It is cotton, cotton
every year q!l over the South. The
increase of the area of cotton culture
is a reduction of the price of cotton
and ihe advancement of provision
supplies. Even before our cotton
crop begins to mature the nabobs on
Wall street are advised of the proba
ble production, and the money lords
who alone can move our cotton to
market, begin to make calculations
as to how much they will pay us for
it.
r lhe ‘bring” that regulates the price
of cotton and reduces it to such low
figures as merely to give the farmer
but meagre returns for his produc
tion are the bondholders and national
bank men of New York. As long as
we allow them to be our factors in
stead of making efforts to establish
direct trade with Europe we shall be
the humble subjects of these money
kings, who hold the bonds of the
United States and control the finances
of the country.
Do the people understand how- they
are fleeced by the national bank sys
tem? Have they ever thought that
the business of the country is an
nually taxed with an interest of
from twenty to twenty-five percent,
for all the money used as a medium
of exchange in the trade and com
merce of the land ? It is true, never
theless.
It is done through the national
banking system of the government.
Suppose a national bank were to be
established in Cartersville, or any
other town in Georgia. If so the
stockholders would secure one hun
dred thousand dollars capital. This
would be converted into United
States bonds, and these bonds would
be deposited in the United States
treasury as collateral for ninety
thousand dollars of currency certifi
cates or national bank bills as so much
banking capital for the proposed Car
tersville national bank. Remember
the bonds deposited in the treasury,
as collateral for the national bank
currency, is drawing 7.30 per cent,
interest, which is paid by the
people indirectly in taxes, while
the currency is brought to Carters
ville and loaned to business men and
farmers at fifteen to twenty per cent.
This is the rate of interest paid by
the business of the country for its
medium of exchange.
The power that forces such extor
tion of the business of the couutry
forces the low prices of cotton and
ihe depression of the farming inter
ests of the country. It is the power
that drags the toiling millions to
the lowest depths of poverty, It is a
power tha* hangs like an incubus
upon the country and stagnates ail
business ami drives men from afflu
ence to deg edition. It is a power
the people should rise up against
iinii crush with the ballot. That pow
er is tiie llepuhiiean party which has
shown itself unwilling or incapable
of so conducting our financial affairs
as to j-iv.: prosperity to the people.
When the agricultural interests of
a country suffer, all other interests
must languish and become depressed.
Remove this incubus of extortionate
interest upon our medium of ex
change and give the country cheap
money, and the nation will prosper—
our fields will yield rich returns to
honest toil, end the South will rise
in her power and successfully assert
her supremacy as the most prosper
ous section of the world. Our farms
will “bloom anct blossom as the
rose,” and the fruits of the earth will
cmne in richness to make the heart
glad and the people happy.
TIIE QUESTION OF TAXATION.
A free anti republican form of gov
ernment means low taxation and the
prosperity of the people. High tax
es belong to monarchical institutions
for the support of royalty and the
nobility, while the people are ground
to poverty to pay tribute to regal
splendor. Tiie simplicity of our
matchless form of government re
quires no onerous taxation upon the
people, and when taxes become bur
densome it is evidence that our ru
lers are profligate and unfit to govern.
Col. Warren Akin, at the public
meeting held here Saturday last,
stated that twenty years ago, the peo
ple of Georgia with all their slave
property did not pay more than one
fourth of the taxes they now pay in
their impoverished condition, with
less than one-half the property they
owned when the State of Georgia
and the people were in the most
prosperous condition. Why is this ?
Who are responsible for it but those
who make our laws?
This question of taxation must be
looked into by the next session of
the Legislature. The people want
relief and reform, and will have it.
They have suffered long and patient
ly. The poor men and widows
struggling upon a small farm to
keep the wolf of starvation from the
doors of their humble homes cry out
for relief, and those who represent
them and fail to demand and work
for relief in the Legislature will find
themselves “weighed in the balance
and found wanting” when they as
pire for further political honors.
The Legislature itself has become
a burden. It attempts too much
legislation, much of it of the most
absurd character and of no general
interest to the public. Local and
unimportant bills consume more
than-half the time of the session
that should never be presented. In
this way the sessions are always
held the constitutional term, and of
ten beyond, adding greatly to the
public expense.
Let the next session of the Legis
lature see to it that relief is given to
a tax-ridden people, and endeavor to
so legislate as to restore as soon as
possible the old economy of our State
government.
Till* ST. LOUIS CONVENTION. j
m ~
Nearly if not all of the delegates
appointed from Georgia to the
National Convention in St. Louis,
Mo., beginning on the 23d of Novem
ber last, in behalf of the Southern
Pacific Railroad, have returned
home.
The thriving little city of Carters
ville was represented by Mr. Harris
and from him we learn that tiie pur
pose of this great assembly of dele
gates from nearly every,State,and
Territory of the Union and number
ing upwards of fifteen hundred, was
nothing more nor less than to give
voice ancPexpression to public opinion
upon the question of the necessity of
building this great trans-continental
railway. The projectors of the
scheme hope by this means so to ef
fect the next Congress as that it will
see the justice of the petition which
will be laid before it.
To this end resolutions were passed
by this body in convention assem
bled, memorializing Congress, and
we may reasonably expect the suc
cess of this enterprise before that
body. Not only does equity and jus
tice to all sections of our country de
mand that Congress should favor
this project, but its reasonableness
appeals irresistabiy to their sense of
right. Not money nor subsidies, not
loans nor lands are asked from the
government to consumate this great
national enterprise. The companies
having it in charge simply ask for a
guaranty of five per cent, on con
struction bonds and offer to indem
nify the government for its endorse
ment by a first lien on all their prop
erty, by a surrender of 30,000,000
acres of land already granted and the
transportation of the mails, troops
and supplies; also, by depositing in
the United States treasury $5,000 i*
bonds for each mile of road, to be
sold by the government if necessary
to meet any deficiency. What more
reasonable proposition could Con
gress expect? The arguments for
the construction of the Southern Pa
cific Railroad are numerous and con
vincing, it being t horoughly national
in its scope and influence.
The question is a very simple
proposition ; it is simply whether
twelve Southern States with a popu
lation of 11,500,000, and an area of
789,375 square miles with 15,002 miles
of railroad in operation, representing
a capital account $523,509,223, shall
have a direct connection with Mexi
co and the Pacific coast, and shall
be permitted to enjoy the advantages
that her natural position vviii insure
to her with such a connection ; and
it is for our Southern Senators ami
members of our next House to say
whether or not the advantages of
the Texas and Pacific Railway line
to the Pacific ocean shall be opened
to their constituents within the next
four years. They have only to say
they want it ami there are enough
Northern votes to give it them as an
act of simple justice to the South.
ÜBll SOUTHEU X IKON.
We publish in this issue of The
Express an able article on the sub
ject of Southern iron. Under more
propitious financial circumstances
our iron mines vviii become a source
of revenue and wealth to this section
of country unrivalled in its propor
tions. The day vve hope is not far
distant when our mountains will
send fortii its millions of merchanta
ble iron to enrich our people. That
time depends upon the financial man.
ugement of the Government. The
depression that now paralyzes all in
dustries must take a change for the
better or the country will become ab
solutely bankrupt. When the neces
sary financial reform takes place un
der better and wiser government, as
we hope it will, all industries will
revive, and none more vigorously
than the iron interests.
Railroads are wearing out, ma
chinery of ail kinds must be renewed,
and the advancement of tiie age will
apply iron to various uses not now so
employed,and the trade will become
of vast proportions. At that time
roa masters will begin to investigate
the Viuious points for iron making
that it may be produced at the least
cost. When they are told that iron
can be made at twenty-five or more
percent. less in the South—in Ten
nessee, Georgia and Alabama—mil
lions of dollars will be invested in the
development of our mines.
We have to wait patiently fur the
good time. Li the meantime let us
advertise the richness and the cheap
ness of cur iron and the capital will
here oe<;K investment.
UXI.UCKY JACK BROWN.
It was but a few fleeting weeks
ago we greeted poor Jack Brown as
a lucky man when he caught his
“ground hog” in the shape of an ap
pointment as revenue collector for
this district. He has bloomed and
blossomed as a full blown Radical
office-holding rose, but ere the cold
blasts of winter have have fairly and
violently wafted the flowing locks
of his ambrosial hair, he is withered
and drooped as one of the decapita
ted before the scythe of “the powers
lost his “ground hog” and is no lon
ger internal revet ne collector for the
fourth district of Georgia. Who is
to be his successor, we have yet to
learn.
Having lost “the run of the pa
pers” for several days, we have not
seen the cause of his removal from
oflice; but we are |sorry for Jack
and hope he may continue to be
able to take his oxtail soup at the
Kimball House and live in clover—
at his own expense. Verily the way
of the transgressor is hard. He that
was so “straight” a Democrat three
years ago is now a crooked politician
of the Radical stripe. Poor Jack
Brown !—poor Jack, say we.
Since the above was written we
learn that John L. Conley has been
appointed Brown’s successor.
HON. HARK A COOPER.
As will be seen by (he proceedings
of the Democratic mass-meeting held !
here on Saturday last, Hon. Marie A. j
Cooper was nominated to fill the va
cancy in the State Senate occasioned
by tlie resignation of Hon. John. \Y.
Wofford. Majj. Cooper is one of the
last of the prominent pers mages
who were conspicuous in the political
history of our Stale thirty years ago.
We remember that the first we knew
of politics, there were three men in
Georgia who were celebrated as a po
litical trio, and their names—Col
quitt, Cooper and Black—were as fa
miliar as “old Tippacanoe and 'iylef,
too.”
Maj. Cooper has occupied distin
guished positions in the confidence of
the people, and his return to public
life will revive old never-to-be-for
gotten memories of the past.
That our venerable friend will re
ceive the hearty support of the peo
ple of Floyd and Chattooga counties
there can be no doubt. The mention
of his name as a candidate for Sena
tor last week in Rome was hailed
with delight. Of course his election
is an assured fact.
” TATE TREASURER JONES,
On the loth uitimo State Treasurer
Jones was notified that liis bond was
deficient and that be must renew it
in ten days. On the 25th, having
failed to do so, his office was declar
ed vacant by the Governor, and he
was ordered to get up all his papers
to be delivered over in tea days. In
addition to the weakness of Treasu
rer Jones’ bond, it has been charged
that there are irregularities in the
management of his office, and that
he has paid out moneys on the same
demand twice.
We deeply sympathize with Capt.
Jones. We do not think for an in
stant that he has corruptly used his
office, and believe that he will finally
make a showing entirely exhonera
ting him from all blame. It requires
a long stretch of suspicion to believe
that “honest Jack Jones” has been
guilty of any intentional wrong
doing.
We shall wait until the proof of
wrong upon him is fully made before
we shall condemn a man whose rep
utation for integrity has ever been
above suspicion.
Those “Straws in the Wind.”
—We clip the following paragraph
from the Dalton Enterprise of Tues
day :
The Rome Courier of Tuesday contain*
the “last word*” of Mr. <J. 11. <J. Willingham
as editor. He goes to serve lhe people of
Cartersvii!e a* editor of 'This Exprkss. lie
is a vigorous writer, and will doubtless
please the people as a journalist; hut judging
ii'oni straws ir the w ind, he will have some
little unpleasantness to overcome. We wish
both 'lTie Express and the Planters' Ad
vocate much success, ami a long era of happi
ness and golden prosperity .
W e expect to have no “unpleasant
ness.” VVe expect to devote aii our
energies and capacity in getting up
ooJ p iper. That will require ali
our time and space, and we sliali
have none to throw away on unpleas
ant matters.
\V i eu the people of Bartow under
stand that Thk Express is not pub
lished in the interest of a small ring',
we believe they will recognize the
merits of a home-made paper, and
will rally to our support. We in
tend to give them the best paper
they ever had in the county, if we
have the capacity to'do so. The ring
we shall work for is the g’-eat and
prosperous county of Bartow. Tiie
Express is a Bartow paper, the
work upon it being done by home
talent anti labor.
We hope all who desire a good pa
per in Bartow county, one devoted
every interest of all our citizens, will
give us their support. We are deter
mined to give a good paper, all
printed at home on our own press.
Let none for a moment believe the
false impression attempted to be
made that Tiie Express is publish
ed in the interest of any ring or
clique. Its expressions will be free
and untrammeled and always in ad
vocacy of the right, hurt whom it
may.
We believe the Georgia delegation
are all in Washington except Mr.
Stephens, who remains at home, not
having sufficiently recovered from
his lalo severe illness to permit him
to travel. He hopes, however, to be
able to take his scat early in Janua r
ry. Congress meets on Monday
next.

satisfaction. We regret his leaving our com
