THE SUSPENSION OF THE
BANK OF ROME.
North Georgia is now thrown into
excitement over the first failure of
importance that has occurred in this
section in many years. It is the sus
pension of the Bank of Rome, which
suspended payment on the 26th.
The cause of the embarrassment of
the bank was the heavy advances
made on cotton shipments. The
bank has cashed the drafts of proba
bly 500 bales of cotton per week
The recent floods so damaged large
quantities of cotton consigned to
New York that the New York banks
refused to pay. This left the Rome
bank without funds, and hence the
supension.
The*Bank of Rome is chartered
under the laws of the state of Geor
gia, with C. G. Samuels, president;
E. D. Frost, vice-president, and J. S.
Pancheu, cashier. It its one of the
state depositories designated by Gov
ernor Colquitt, and at the time of
suspension had of the state money a
total of $53,868.83. The bond of
$50,000 approved by the governor is
signed by five securities, who are
worth above all liabilities, as follows :
E. D. Frost $50,000, Samuel Morgan
$50,000, E. D. Samuel $35,000, W. L.
Prentice, $20,000, W. P. Deason,
SIO,OOO/ total $165,000. It is be
lieved by parties who are w r ell in
formed that the state will lose noth
ing whatever by the suspension.
The Constitution says that State
Treasurer Speer thinks the state is
undoubtedly secure against loss. Mr.
Speer has gone to Rome to repre
sent the state.
Mr. John H. Reynolds, president
of the First National bank of Rome,
who is also the assignee of the Bank
of Rome, says that the liabilities of
the Bank of Rome, exclusive of cap
ital stock, are $165,562.19. The nom
inal assets appear to be $221,500.93.
The difficulty of arriving at the value
of the assets is so great it will take
several days to determine the same,
hiu. if- io proUalolv i,Li at iko

amount of assets will be greatly re
duced.
THE CO TTONFA CTOR Y MO VE
ME NT,
By no means should the movers in
the cotton factory enterprise let
their energy flag for one moment.
The result ol their labors will be too
important in the answer to the ques
tion as to whether Cartersville will
live or die. There are but few who
will ridicule the remark that our
town is mighty sick. We see daily
the trade that should flow into our
stores, seeking other markets. Our
merchants seem to be content with
the small pittance of their own, that
they receive, and have well nigh
ceased all efforts to prevent an abso
lute capture of their entire trade. When
Cartersville looses its grip as a com
mercial town, it will have to reach
around for something else to keep it
alive. Then, let’s make her a manu
facturing town. Her advantages as
such, providing the manufactories are
put in operation, have been discanted
upon until they are as well known as
the alphabet. Then why not meet
the emergency. Estimates have been
made, and it is demonstrated by the
never-lying figures that a mill can be
put in operation at a very trifling
cost comparatively, and it only re u
mains for our capitalists to put a
small portion of their shoulders to
the wheel. When the subscription
lists are opened, don’t say you’ll give
the ground or site, or so much work,
but go down in your pockets and get
money. Money is what is needed.
Let Cartersville make one earnest
effort, and the cotton factary can be
readily securod.
Hurry up the Press Convention,
gentlemen. That convention at which
quarreling journalists are supposed
to bury the hatchet. Besides the
Rome papers, those two staid old
sisters, the Atlanta Constitution and
Macon Telegraph and Messenger, are
mussing up each other’s frizzes in a
hand to hand conflict,
Bcaconsfield arcribes all his great
ness to women. Adam laid all his

THE NE W SENA TE.
The senate is now complete and it
is quite interesting to look on the
list and note the peculiarities. The
oldest mania the senate is Justin S.
Morrill, of Vermont, who is 71. Sen
ators David Davis and Anthony,each
66, come next. Tbe youngest man
in the senate is 43, and there are
three of that age, Senators Groome
and Gorman, of Maryland, and Mit
chell, of Pennsylvania. It is notice*
able that both of the senators from
Maryland are of the same age, and
that they are the youngest men in
the body. Thirteen states are repre
sented only by natives. It is notice
able that both the senators from each
of the states of Indiana and lowa are
natives of Ohio, both the Mississippi
senators were born in Georgia, and
both the senators from Colorado are
natives of New York. Nine senators
in all are natives of the empire state,
seven owe their birth to Ohio, and
seven to Kentucky. One state, Ne
vada, is represented by senators both
born in foreign lands. k Sercnteen
states, New Jersey, Florida,Alabama,
Mississippi. Texas, Louisiana, Arkan
sas, Kansas, Nebraska, lowa, Minne
sota, Oregon, California, Nevada,
Wisconsin, West Virginia and Colo
rado, have no natives in the senate.
There are six foreign born senators.
Messrs. Farley of California, Jones
of Florida, Fair of Nevada, and Sew
ell of New Jersey, were born in Ire
land; Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, was
born in Scotland, and Mr. Jones, of
Nevada, in England. Senator David
Davis weighs the most nnd Senator
Mahone the least. Of those born in
New York, all but one are republi
cans. Of those born in Kentucky,
all but one are democrats. Among
the handsome men are the senators
from South Carolina, Vance of North
Carolina, Bayard, Hawley, and Pen
dleton.
Senator Hill, of Georgia, is the one
southern democratic senator who is
in all respects equipped to contend
with the few republican giants. He
is in knowledge of the law, in oratory,
in logic, in the weapons of wit and
sarcasm, and in readiness as well as
learning, the match and mor? than
the match for Edmunds or Conkling.
There may be disagreements occasion
ally ns fry the nanrso Via pursues, but
there is no question as to his ability
A man from Georgia or from the
south generally, or from any demo
cratic locality, can not fail to rejoice
that his section or his party has a
champion who can more than hold
his own against the powerful repub
lican gladiators. ‘Georgia has two
great senators, and they make their
state respected in the senate. —Au-
gusta Chronicle.
Senator Joe Brown is reported to
have *aid, in a recent democratic cau
cus, in Washington City, which met
for the purpose of taking couucil
against the organization of the senate
by the republicans.
He wanted the democrats to fili
buster against the removal of the dem
ocratic officials to the last extremity.
He said, The democrats have aban
doned fight after fignt and position
after position until they are in dan
ger of forfeiting public respect and
confidence. It is time we were or
ganizing on one fight and standing
by it till we whip it.
* —.
There is great need of dwelling
houses in Cartersville. If a person
is suddenly deprived of a home, it is
with the greatest difficulty that he
can find another one in town. Why
don’t somebody build ? When the
cotton factory gets in operation, a
great many residences will be needed.

erably troubled. They are fearful

mind to “get on to” that joree joke.
Willi a wonderful tenacity, second

LITERARY NOTES.
“A Fair Barbarian,” by Francis Hodgson
Barnett —James R. Osgood & Cos., Boston —-
Price, SI.OO.
Through the courtesy of the pub
lisher we have received the above
named work. The authoress will bo
remembered as the writer of “That
Lass o’ Lowrie’s,” “Haworth’s,”
“Louisiana,” etc., all popular stories
published in Scribner’s
The book before us is of the same of*
der. It has no merit unless it is for
brevity. There is no ingeniusness
of plot (in fact no plot). There is
nothing in it from which one can
gain a single step in the progress of
literary acquirement. The simple
story told in the simplest words, is of
a sunbeam from Nevada shining up
on the cold, misty atmosphere of su
percillious, prudish English society,
warming and quickening it with the
life of a free people. The only de
duction from it is the striking con
trast of character between anarchy
and liberty, or a people or society
who are untrammeled in the expres
sion of opinion and consummation of
purpose and desire, and a people gov
erned by autocratic leaders who
not only mould and force a rule of
government, but who, on account of
supreme dignity in social rank, form
customs for a society which from
trained principles of subjection hasn’t
the courage or spirit to act indepen
dently.
CARLYLE’S REMINISCENCES.
“By special arrangement” with the
American public, the Literary Revo
lution will issue immediately a beau
tiful Acme edition, elegant cloth
binding, of the “Reminiscences of
Thomas Carlyle,” price 30 cents,
postage 6 cents, and it can be had of
the nearly 2,000 booksellers who are
agents of the Literary Revolution in
all parts of the United States.
Thomas Carlyle, more than any
other man of the nineteenth century,
taught the American public, and
people of good sense throughout the
world, to despise pretence and bum
bug whether exhibited by monarch
or menial. Sensible people who want
a g x>d book at an honest price will
buy it where they find it. There is
in this country no law which gives
to a foreign author, as it gives to an
American, the right of the monopoly
of the publication of his book. If
publishers choose to pay a foreign
author anything, they can do it only
as a “donation,” because he can give
them in return no protection from
competition. Readers have thepriv
ilege of making such donation, it
ctiey ciiuusc to do so without paying
it to the publishers and trusting to
the possibility of their paying it to
the author for them. Readers who
want to combine a possible donation,
and a positive price, can get an edi
tion of this same book from other
publishers at from two to eight times
the price. Address for catalogue,

SENATOR BROWN’S REPLY TO
GENERAL MAHONE.
Associated Press Dispatches.]
Mr. Brown proceeded at some length to an
swer charges made against him by Mr. Ma
honc Monday. Referring to that portion ot
Mahone’s speech concerning his (Brown’s)
record, he said the gentleman from Virginia
has grossly mirepresented it. The gentleman
had charged him with inconsistency. He ad
mitted that the position which he now occu.
pied upon certain questions was not the posi
tion he had occupied at the beginning of the
war. He had gone into that contest to main
tain slavery and state sovereignty. He had
sincerely believed he was right in the war-
The war had settled both questions—slavery
had been abolished, and he was content that
it was abolished. To this extent he might be
said to be inconsistent. The gentleman had
advised him to readjust his record. He would
be unable to readjust himself so as to take the
position which that gcutlcman occupied to
day before the senate and the country. Reply
ing to the charges made against him Monday
by Mr. Mahone that he (Mr. Brown) had had
an ambition for the presidency of the Confed
erate States, he said Mr. Mahone’s statement
was very wide of the facts. He had positively
refused to permit his name to be used for auy
confederate position whatever. The geutle
mau had charged him -with withdrawing the
militia of Georgia from the confederate cause.
There again the gentleman had been misin
formed about the facts. He had never with
drawn with his militia from the confederate
service. That charge of the senator
fell to the ground a3 unjust and un
true. Referring to Mahone’s denial of a bar
gain between him aud the republicans, Mr.
Brown said be did not state that the charge
that there was a bargain was true, but proceed
ed to make a resume of facts which led to that
conclusion. It was a peculiar coincidence
that the senator from Virginia, who, up to a
late period, had always been a democrat
should vote with the republicans on the or
ganization of every conmittee, and that iu a
very short time afterwards the republicans
should meet in caucus and nominate his inti
mate friends—Gorham, who had bolted the
party and been read out of it, and Riddlebcr
berger, who had always bcca a democrat. It
might have been no bargain. It might not
have been even an understanding, but be
would call it a peculiar coincidence. If there
was a bargain, the democrats would not be
parties to it. If it had been carried out on
one side they would not help to deliver the
goods. The situation reminded him of the
story of the coon and the skunk. The coon
had left home one day, and on his return
found some other animal in the ’hollow of bis
tree. He thought it was a cat and challenged
it as such.
“No,” said the polecat, “I am a coon.”
“You don’t look like a coon.”
“But I am a coon.”
“You don’t talk like a coon.”
“But I am a coon.”
“You don’t smell like a coon aud you amt a
coon.” [Laughter.]
This transaction did not look exactly like a
proper transaction, and it did not smell like a
proper transaction. [Laughter.] The repub
lican side reminded him of the man who had
caught a wolf and then had to call to a friend
to help let it go, or rather it reminded him of
the man who had won an elephant at a raffle
and did not know what to do with him. The
republicans had won the elephant iu Ibis case
and were not in a very good condition to get
rid of him. If they did not stand by his friends
he might turn and rend every chairman of
theirs. [Laughter.] In conclusion he assert
ed it to be his duty to stay here and prevent
the consummation of what the public thought
to be a bargain.
