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.” : ; J —-—' • • '—— J. J. Howard & Son. With a view of insuring absolute security for all deposits ldft with us, we have purchased a large safe with Hall’s double time lock attach ment, which is absolutely impossible to open, except during the hours when It is desirable to open it. The safe is tire-proof and burglar proof. Merchants and others who dcsuo.a safe place for their accounts and money, in vited. J. J. HOWARD & SON. Bar taw Sheriff's Sales.

The new method places the rod and points on the root at the house, old style, with Chambers’ Improved Insulators, >vith no rod running dOYvn the side ot the house to the earth. .' . rods and points Put uo on Chambers’ theorv, operate as active agents laeilitating the natural laws of e leetrici-* ty by a continuous dischai*ge or throwing off the negative electricity, thereby 1 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 ative fast enough and a stroke should take place atone ol these points, it simply runs off at the other points and is disseminated in the atmosphere above wnere it belongs. ' CHAMBERS’ NEW METHOD Has been examined and thoroughly tested by scientific men, and pronounced to be the correct principle for protection. We have accepted an agency, ana are now ready to pu up rods on the plan cf the new method.
