Cartersville, Ga„ Thursday, April 14, 1881.
A ROO&T WR OUR TOWN.
At present Cartersville is rejoicing
over ifi© proposed removal oi a part
of the State road shops from Atlanta
to this place. There is every reason
to believe that such a removal will by,
* marie. Negotiations for the purchase
of t the old Cartersville car factory
have pendiug/or some time, and
we get it from reliable source that
they Gave concluded in part satisfiJC
tory to the management of the road.
There are yet other purchases of
property to bo made, and when that
is done we presume the work will
commence at once.
The reason for removal, we under
stand, is the nnpossibility of making
the necessary enlargements of the
the company’s shops in Atlanta. Car
tcrsvilie was settled upon because ol
its favorable position at the
terminus of the Cherokee road
running into the lumber region of
north Georgia. At this point lum
her and, coal will meet, and if the
company's shops are put here it will
be at the most convenient location on
the road, a wise action on the part of
the management of the road that will
not only redound to the benefit ol
our town, but to the road itself.
We now call on those property
owners whose possessions lie contig
uous to the old car factory, not to be
exhorbitant in their demands upoh
the road for tin improperly, and upon
all onr citizens to encourage, in every
way possible, the carrying out of the
plans of the company.
An idea prevails that this news is
top good to, be true, and that Presi
dent Brown’s dislike,to Cartersville
is too deep*seated for him to do any
thing towards its growth. We do
not believe this. While he has re
ceived some very rough treatment
and many stinging insults from a ce:-
tain class of irresponsible local poll
tioians we cmnot believe tlnft he is
willing on this account to retaliate
Upon an entire communty in which
be has many* friends.

What a. boom! A ical genuine boom!
worth all the pusillanimous political
booms that have ever been fired.
Oariersville will yet come out ol

THE PR 0 GRESS OF O UR FA C
TORY.
As rtnnonnced in these coftimus
last week, a subscription list is now
before oar citizens. It was opened
Monday,'and $1.0,000 Lias been subo
scribed. This is two-thirds of the
amount to be raised. The other
$5,000 will not be hard to got.
Many people in this town have
long been disposed to harp on its
want of enterprise. You can head’
more abuse of the town inside its
corporate limits than you can he ir
outside. All of this is unjust. Cartcrs
villo has plenty of enterprise, and it.
has only needed n mover to stir it up.
Ir, sprang up rapidly before '’the panic,
and when that crash came it dealt a
blow to onr enterprise that came near
knocking it into the middle cf the
next century. But thanks to a few
men in the community it is getting
well. The success of the subscription
list evinces that our people are wak
ing up. There’s life in the old town
yet. Goon wiih the cutton factory,
gentlemen, and when that and the
►State roud shops are undu n full
head oi steam, our little mountain
city can give a whoop that may be
heard all over the land.

THE CITIZENS’ AT
LANTA SUSPENDS.
£ tl :pt a Cj^istHvU?oir.y< * ' Jf* ,H
There is no suspicion oti the out
side that anything \vas wfeing with
the bank' even uf> to the" hour of
opening on yesterday. Almost im
mediately this, hovyevtr, there was
unsteady, but quiet run that contin
ued up to nearly eleven o’clock,
when Mr. Leonard, the teller, an
nounced to Mr. J. C. Clements, con
gressman from the seventh district,
that he had no funds with which to
pay a check for SBOO that he present
ed from Mr. D. N, Speer, the state
treasurer. After making this state
ment, the-sign “bank closed” was
put ou the door. This did not, how
ever, cri ate any excitement. There
were several customers who came in
and made deposits, supposing that
the sign had been misplaced. During
Mr. Patterson’s absence in consulta
tion with Mr. Julius Brown, attorney
for the bank, the officers continued
to receive deposits offered without,
however, putting them into the
hank, but into envelopes to be re
turned to the owners. The money
taken by Mr. Brown was put into
separate envelopes and held for the
owners. They took this course rath
er than speak of the trouble until
they were authorized to do so. No
deposits were taken on yesterday for
the bank at all.
The immediate cause of the “run”
on the bank was, as we are informed,
that its exchange checks were thrown
out by the Mercantile bank, its New
York correspondent, ou day before
yesterday.
The first intimation that came of
this action on the part of the Mer
cantile bank was a telegram received
at about 9 o’clock ou Tuesday night
by Mr. Irwin Bird, who-had seut 00
$92, exchange purchased from tile
Citizens’ bauk. lie at once sent the
dispatch, out tcT MY Patterson’s
house, a net thus gave him the first
knowledge he had of the course of
his New York correspondent. Borne
other dispatches were received, and
from this there was alarm among
those who knew it.
Mr. Leonard, the teller, stood at
bis post and paid the checks as they
came in, until he had reduced his
cash to about $1,500. He then had
a short rest, when the drawling com
menced again. From this point we
believe he paid again until there
was less than $.30 in the bank. A
check for >sßoo being presented, he
was then forced to allow it to be dis
honored, and he retired from Ills
as ever beat in a human breast.
The germinal cm us os of the trouble
aPe manifold and hard to get at—
-1 but the following are the points as
we get them: In the first place the
bank has been handicapped for a
long time with heavy accounts on
which it could not realize and for
which it has hail to take property in
stead of cAsh. One of these is the
Atlanta rolling mill, which, while
prosperous under its present man
agement was unfortunate before its
retorginizalion. The bank had been
obliged to take a quantity of the
bonds of the old rolling mill company,
and could not realize on them
promptly. The new rolling mill is
highly prosperous, and ow T es the bank
nothing. These and other old mat
ters which the bank had been carry
ing, crippled it to a certain extent.
Added to this, Mr. Speer, the State
treasurer, lias steadily reduced the
deposits of the state in the bank
from 170,000 to about SIOO,OOO. This
reduction lias been made since the
Ist of January. The recent failure
of the cotton factory locked up for
bank about SIO,OOO. All these facts,
besides shortening the bank’s re
sources, had gone to its New York
correspondent, with which it had
had relations for but a week or tw r o,
and on .Tuesday the Mercantile bank
threw out its checks, holding the
ca-h on hand to meet the liabilities
that the Citizens’ had created with it
since its cuunuction.

THE NEW PROGRAMME FOR
GARFIELD.
The deadlock in the seaate, and in
republican politics generally, sa}k the
New York. Star* is about to be brok
en by the adoption of anew pro
gramme by the president, under the
direction of Secretary Blaine. The
Star, being democratic, does not af
fect to be the offici. il organ ol a cab
inet which we, have opposed ever
since Garfield conceived it; but all
our predictions in regard to the pres
ident have proven so accurate, that
we may claim the implicit credence ol
the country for this revelation of his
present intentions.
We are given to understand, from
authentic sources, that, within a fort
night at most, if the deadlock be con
tinued, Garfield will withdraw all the
nominations now before the senate,
thus leaving the senators with noth
ing to do and no excuse lor prolonging
their session, As soon as the senate
adjourns, the president will make the
appointments, and throw the onus of
the situation upon Conkling and the
stalwarts, relying upon the intrinsic
merit of his appointments and the ex
planations of his friends to set him
right with his party and the country.
The advice and consent of the senate
having been withheld from the stal
won t trick of gaining time by argu
ing about Mahone’s bargain and sale,
Garfield feels justified in takiog this
bold stand and acting for himself.
In order to carry out this pro
gramme, the president will promptly
cease to. send auy more nominations
to the senate* and the country will
understand from this cessation that,
unless the deadlock be immediately
broken by the republican senators
themselves, the remaining portion of
the new‘policy will be enforced. We,
should not be surprised to see the
president’s message withdrawing the
nominations accompanied by a plain
statement that he has no further bus
iness to the senate. The stalwarts
w'ill then be forced to take their
choice between an adjournment or a
perpetual session, upon the plan oi
the French Convention, to watch Gar
field and prevent his appointments.
They say that Lewis’’Clark, (he At
lanta hatter, has learned the Italian
language by absorption. His inii
sino, Jim Fish, Pacetti, and the bal
ance of Atlanta’s Italian colony, has
made him so conversant with the
language that Bruffey, the Constitu
tion reporter, wlio does not speak
Italian, hired him to interview Salvi
ni, the great tragedian, while he was
in Atlanta.
On being introduced to the great
tragedian Lewis opened the conver
sation by remarking, “Signor Salvini,
chiaroscuro maccaroni,’’ to which he
courteously responded,“Siguor Amer
icano, andante stiletto.” Lewis was
delighted to hear it, and replied,
“Mezzo tinto, vittorio Emanuello vio
vo voce.” That seemed to please
Salvini, and he remarked, smiling,
“Pianissimo staccato mio.” The
great hat man agreed with him, and
said, “Bravo f lazzaroni piano.” lie
seemed to like the idea very much
and dectared quite earnestly, “Hand
ano organo grinderini.” The inter
view here ended.
