The Cartersville Express.
Friday, December 18, 1879. - v ‘'
EXFKESS-IONSr
±We have yet to find a gingla per.
son in Georgia, or in the south, tfho
has expressed approbation of
telegram to the Chicago News. His
“death to the union” has died void
ofTeeho. 1 , !
r-Hot Springs, Arkansas, is excited
over the discovery of gold eighteen
miles south of that place. The mat*
ter was, at first, kept very quiet, and
a number of claims were secured by
the discoverers. Is being
eagerly pursued. . j
—lt would be a fortunate coup d'etat
in* the indignant seventh, for the
Felton democrats if they would coid
elude that, as the next is presidential
year, they had better organize to
counteract the Akerruan boom that
is certainly rising. Let that be done,
thsn choose ye between them.
—An Atlanta special to the Couri
er-Journal says: “It is Currently re
ported here that the Louisville and
Nashville railroad has purchased a
controlling interest iq the Mobile and
Montgomery railroad. The an
nouncement created some sensation
among railroad men, as it gives the
purchasing company a strong hpld on
the southwest.”
—lf a financial commotion could
shake this continent, we should look
out for it now. Vanderbilt and
Gould are making pigmies ot Presi
dents * Cole, Wadley, and others.
TVhile they handle ihillions, the oth
ers are exchanging scores of millions
of dollars worth of stocks, .and con
trolling lines from ocean to ocean.
But the world moves on in its maj
esty and equanimity.
—Under the act of the legislature
and the instructions of Gov. Colquitt,
the attorney-general is preparing fi.
fas. against the treasurer and his sev
eral bondsmen. The amount sued
for will be between twenty-two and
twenty-three thousand dollars. The
cases will give rise to the liveliest
litigation, and be most stubbornly
resisted. —Telegraph & Messenger.
—The Memphis & Charleston rail
road company held its annual elec
tion Tuesday of last week. The old
t>oard was “endorsed,” as politicians
would put it. The directory was
empowered to increase the nominal
value of each share of stock from
twenty-five dollars to one hnudred
dollars, making one share represent
pne-fourth of a yote instead of a
whole vote. .. < . x a.j
—“Good morning, Mr. Griffiu.”
“Good morning, . What’s the
news?”
“Nothing at all of interest.”
' “I’m glad to hear it,” said Mr.
Griffin.
The remark suggested the “expres
sion” that he was right. We don’t
expect good news. It is first murder,
then rape, then follows a railroad
disaster, shipwreck, conflagration, or
something of that kind, so if there be
'‘no news” let us be thankful.
i —ln the last two years the city of
Memphis is said to have buried six,
thousand of her people and lost near
ly $8,000,001) in capital and business,
through the yellow fever epidemics.
The Appeal asserts that filthy gut
ters, bad drainage and accumulated
garbage caused all this distress and
ruin. That paper now demands all
methods of purification by fire,
drainage, fumigation, street paving
and the most rigorous enforcement
of the well-ascertained laws of health
as shall insure the city against a re
currence of the epidemic. Other
wise, “Memphis is threatened with
decay, if not extinction,”
—Edison promises to show his
electric light, perfected, on Christ*
mas eve, at Menlo Park, N, J. He
t will illuminate all the buildings in
the modest little hamlet in which he
lives and works. To that end wires
have been run from house to house
and connected thence with his labor*
atory. “I shall send invitations far
and wide,” say3 Mr. Edison, “in
order that all may see that what has
been considered as visionary and im
possible has been accomplished. Let
the gas companies reduce their price,
and then reduce it again for it is well
known they can still do this and
make money; and I can undersell
them, and make a large profit.”
—The Savannah News 1 put this
comment on Dr. Felton’s letter. Wje
omit the “D. D.” s in copying. “A
great many of our exchanges of inde
pendent proclivities declare that W.
H. Felton does not abjure the democ
racy outright in his late letter. Of
course not. Our champion political
divine is too cunning for that. The
time to jump has not come yet, so he
sits on the fence awhile longer view
ing the political prospect. He has. so
far, only prepared himself to leap in
to the midst of the radical fold if by
so doing he finds he can better tho
personal condition of Felton. One
who so well understands how to
serve God and Mammon at the same
time can very readily assume the
garb of democracy in which to Serve
radicalism.
—Two gentlemen ih discussing the
Akermaa suggestions in the Ex
press of last week, concurred hearti
ly therewith. One of them is a former
Georgian, a battle scarred veteran,
and now a prominent,(thorough dem
ocrat and eminently'Conservative),
citizen of Chattanooga. The other is
a prowineut citizen of Catoosa coun
ty* well known as a reliable meipber
of the democratic party. They con
curred in the suggestion, thought
Georgia should send one republican
to congress from the “solid south,”
and agreed also that Mr. Aker
man is by far the ablest and most
conservative republican in this com
monwealth. Furthermore, all will
agree that it would heal many { a
breach in neighborhoods to make po
ditical divisions of party instead of
personal abuse.
The lease of the road to the East
Tennessee, Virginia and Georgia, rail
road was renewed for fifteen years.
The East ; Tennessee and Virginia
company obligate themselves to pro
vide for the deficits on the interest of
the bonded indebtedness of the Mem
phis and Charleston company for
three years, and get seven per cent,
interest on all such assumed obliga
tions. It may be stated in this con
nection that this does not, and will
not, increase’ the bonded indebtedness
of the company, which is $4,200,000.
Under the new provisions the East
Tennessee and Virginia company
can terminate the lease at the end of
three years. Notwithstanding heavy
losses by the prevalence of yellow
fever, the deficit in operating the
road for the past year waS only about
seventy tho4sand dollars. The net
earnings exceeded two hundred and
thirty-one thousand dollars. f
—Mr. Wm. Buie,“anative southern
republican, and editor and proprietor
of the only daily republican paper
in the late confederate states,” in a
recent interview with the Washing
ton correspondent of the! Chicago
Tribune , presents a very correct idea
on the subject of Dr. Felton’s inde
pendent boom. He declares in few
words that there is no hope of the
independents succeeding in defeating
southern democracy, and in the
course of his remarks he tells a curi
ous story of Judge Loehraoe, one of
Georgia’s prominent independents
and Grant boomer, as follows:
• “Lochrane,” says Rule, “is an ec
centric fellow who thirsts for notori
ety. Being in New York once upon
a time, he gave a Herald reporter $lO
to publish his name. Looking in
vain for it next morning, he was
very indignant. But a friend point
ed it out among the advertisements,
under the head of “Personal.”—/Son
vamnah News .
—ln regard to the Clement attach
ment the Columbus Enquirer has this
to say: “Before our planters engage
in the purchase of these machines
they would do well to have it exam
ined by experts in manufacturing.
We know that some among the most
experienced in Columbus have no
faith in the business, nor have we
had the evidence of a single skilled,
practical man who knows what cot
ton machinery can do. We Simply
advise our people w f ho desire to in
vest in such enterprises to make haste
slowly. Dp not trust newspaper ac
counts. Take a manufacturer that is
known and trusted, and get his opin
ion. Get some of the numerous cot
ton men of our mills to give their
judgment. If this attachment will
make the fortunes claimed, is it not
strange that capitalists have not in
vested? They delight in making
enormous interest on a small amount
of money. Correspondents may be
paid to write up a thing to sell it.
We desire our section to he on the
safe side.” :

With a view of insuring absolute security for

Of rodding buildings—connecting the rod with the earth-has been proven unsafe and even

Put uo on Chambers’ theorv, operate as active agents laeilitating the natural laws of e leetrici-*

positive in the atmosphere above, and particularly so during a heavy thunder storm, thus re
pelling a stroke instead of inviting it. In the event these points should not throw off the neg

other points and is disseminated in the atmosphere above wnere it belongs. '
