For the cause that lacks assistance,
For the wrong that needs resistance ,
For the future in the distance ,
And the good that we can do.

OUR COTTON FACIORY.
The time for action ha come, We
have talked and written, but now is
the time to commence to build the
walls of the first cotton factory in
Cartersville. It has been demonstra
ted, by argument and fact, that every
well conducted cotton mill has paid
well in Georgia. It is only necessary
to refer to Augusta, Columbus and
Trion to prove that such property is
the best paying investment in the
State. We propose at this time to
commence on a $15,000 mill, and be
at no expense of running it except
the pay of the operatives. Under
■uch an arrangement 20 per cent, per
anuum can easily be made, and as
profits are earned, instead of divid
ing' them to each stockholder, let
them be put into other machinery
until the value of the
mill shall reach SOO,OOO. In the
meanwhile as the property increases,
add it in stock; for instance, if any
one takes SI,OOO and the profits run
up to 50 percent., give him stock for
SSOO more, making his SI,OOO $1,500,
and by the time $60,000 is reached
the SI,OOO would grow to $4,000.
This idea is not chimerical. It has
been more than accomplished in Au
gusta and Trion.
Btsides this actual gain, the prop*,
erty of our town would advanco 25
per cent. The first brick in a wall
of a cotton mill in Cartersville would
advance the property ten per cent., a
sum much larger than the cost of the
enterprise, and in place of our citizens
gradually leaving us our population
would gradually increase] Work
would be offered for willing hands to
do, and families now sorely pressed,
would earn a competency, and pros
perity and cotentment would be seen
all around. If one factory is started
_ ao ouobcaoiui, uiOic
would soon follow. If you were at
Fall River, Mass., and ask the rea
son of their prosperity, what reply
would you expect ? Simply, cotton
•pinning and most, yes, 80 per cent,
of their power i* steam.
This county is shipping weekly to
that city many bales of cotton upon
which the northern spinner has to
commissions and freight. And yet
they are making colossal fortunes!
What should we not do with cotton
at first cost? Welearn that a firm
to encourage the enterprise has of'
fered to stock the mill with cotton
with their own money for a year or so
and charge 2*o interest. Surely
we have every encouragement to em
bark in this most profitable enter
prise.
And now, fellow townsmen and
county men! A subscription list
will be offer red you next week !
We beg you to take stock liberally.
Show your faith in your town !
Show your faith in the cotton mill
and you will live to be proud of its
success!
You will find that it will “put
money in your purse,” and give pros
perity and character to your town.
To the merchants of our town we
will say iu all candor that this move
forward will do you more substan
tial good than anything that has hap
peued for twenty years past.
When the list is presented to you
don’t give it the cold shoulder, but
cheerfully put down your names for
all you can possibly afford.
D. T. Corbin, of South Carolina,
who was a candidate for the senate
at the time M. C. Butler was elected,
has written a letter to Senator Hoar
asking him to take up his case from
the committee of privileges and elec
tions and bring it before the senate
for action.

THE BEAU LOCK IN THE
SENATE ,
The senate of the U. S, congressji
has now ben in executive
since the 4th of March at the call of
President Garfield for the purpose of
transacting executive business.
The democratic members of the
body did not object to the organiza
tion af the senate inasmuch as by the
defalcation of Gen. Mahone, of Vir
ginia, the republicans had the ma
jority, and were therefore fairly enti
tled to it in that body. Mahone was
elected]by the democracy of Virgin
ia to the senate as a democrat,
although the party in Virginia were
divided upon local questions, net at
all affecting tht principles upon
which the party was founded, and
which have been triumphantly
maintained in that state ever since
the days of Jefferson and Madison.
Mahone succeeded in his election to
the senate, and it soon became ap
parent that instead cf adhering to
the principles of the party and lend
ing his aid to the mainfainance of its
power in the senate, he had joined
hie. fortunes with the republicans,
and thus left by his single vote the
democracy in the minority. Had he
been true to the faith and voted as
the people of Virginia and the dem
ocracy had a right to demand, and
his honor required, the tables would
have been turned, and the democra
cy would have been in the majority
in the senate. This much with all
the evils which will arise from this
betrayal of the party is justly charge
able to Gen. Mahone : The republi
cans, however, did not intend to
carry out the purposes of the execu
tive session, such as the ordinary and
pressing business of the country call
ed for aud as has always hitherto
been customary, but at once resolved
to turn out every democratic officer
in that body and fill the places with
republican partisans. This has never
been done except at a regular session
of the senate, and is contrary to the
custom, which, prevailing so long,
has now amounted practically to the
law of that body. But Garfield and
Conkling ordered it otherwise, and
determined that before the senate
should proceed to the transaction of
the necessary business of the session
that the democratic officers should be
turned out, and republicans fill the
vacancies. The senate had officers
competent for the transaction of the
business of the senate, men who were
well qualified, and had ably dis
charged their duties for four years
past.
There was nothing to hinder the
senate from at once proceeding to
* Ail
session, but the strong de
sire to have complete and full control
of these officers and to displace demo
crats and substitute radicals, was the
contemptible purpose which animiu.
ted Mr. Garfield and his followers.
Truly a miserable descent from the
sublime to the ridiculous, and the
neglect of their grave duties as sena
tors for the loaves and fishes arising
from a few paltry offices.
The democrats of course objected
to so poor and unworthy a prostitu
tion of the dignity of the senate,
brought about as it was by the
bargain and sale of the renegade
Mahone, and declared at once as
soon as the purpose of the
radicals was discharged, that they
would never aid so infamous a co
alition, and would resist it by all
constitutional means in their power.
Happily for them such means
are in their hands, and day after day
motion after motion is made to the
end to delay the execution of radical
purposes and trades with a renegade
democrat, and so it is that day after
day until now, and so it will be, as
the democrats resolutely declare
shall to the Ist of December, before
this infamous iniquity shall be ful
filled.
To Ben Hill and Joe Brown is it
largely due that the bargain was
unearthed, and Mahone been held up
to the scorn and ridicule not only of
the party which he betrayed, but a
great and very Influential portion of
the stalwarts themselves. We hear
tily approve and endorse the course
pursued by our distinguished Geor
gia senators, no matter what Ale'k
Stephens and other independents
may say,

OUR C ASSVILLE CEMETERY.
It will be remembered that after
the war a few ladies of old Cassville
resolved themselves into a Memorial
Association, with the laudable object
of caring for the graves of the fallen
heroes who were buried in their
midst. With no more assistance
than their own loving hands, they
went to work with a determination
to keep green the graves of these
martyrs of the lost cause, to pala in
the saored ground, and erect a mon
ument to their memory. All this,
by the unflaging energy and unceas
ing care of a few has been accom
plished, and they still, by imposed
annual dnes.nf thpi*-
once a year clean on and redress the
graves. They desire that the grounds
shall have additional attention to
what theii slender means will secure,
and call upon every one who may
sympathise with their work to send a
contribution. They would also make
an appeal to all who may have loved
ones buried in the cemetery to send
them a contribution, in order that
hands may be hired to clean off the
graves of their own dead, and the
graves of strangers. Mr. Humphrey
W. Cobb has been appointed agent
for the association, and will receive
and forward all donations. We hope j
this appeal may not be unheeded, j
