Carrollton-lffe Past, Present
and Future.
Xu October 1371, the Editor of this
paper, then living at West Point, vis* !
itod Carrollton for the purpose of
prospecting it, with a view* of pub-* •
lisliing a paper here. Coming by
Railroad to Newman, and thence by ;
buggy to Carrollton, he by no means
felt encouraged, from what he saw of \
the county on the trip. Arriving in
Carrollton he had his ardor still furth
or cooled, by thelifeless andunbnsiness
like appearance of the place. There !
was none of that stir and energy and
vim, one is accustomed to seeing, 1
even in the small towns on the rail- ,
ways. The blight of enervation seem.-
ed to have taken possession of the j
citizens, as a general thing, and the j
signs of decay and deterioration were I
to be noticed on all sides. There was j
no bustle, no building, no sharp com j
petition among merchants, no nothing j
to make things lively, but all was
quiet along the lines, and everything
andjeverybody moving along in the ev
on tenor of their way, apparently hap ;
'py and contented with the way things
were working. However we should not'
fail to mention as we go along, that
avc found everybody that we talked
with upon the subject, anxious for a
paper. They all seemed to think a pa
per avou!cl help the town and county,
and promised to do Avlmtever they
could to sustain one if Ave should des
termine to come. Encouraged by
these solicitations, and having faith
moreover, notwithstanding that pres
ent appearances at that time Avere
against us, that there avrs a bright fus
ture in store for Carrollton, after a
Aveek’s visit, avc returned to West
Point for the purpose of making
arrangements to come back in De
cember, to commence the publication
of the Times. Returning in December
avg found the people more hopeful,
property looking up, and the town
putting on a more business like ap
pearance, the secret of all which, was,
that arrangements had beenconsurnma
ted for the completion of the Savan
nah, Griffin and North Alabama Rail
road to this place, as was then thought,
at an early day. From that time for
ward everything AA'ore anew aspect.
New buildings, both dwellings and
business houses commenced springing
up here and there. Now citizens com
menced moving in, and others still,
came every few' days to prospect. —
Mechanics from Atlanta, Newnan and
other places flocked here to get Avork.
The whole toAvn became metamor
phosed, and from that time up to this,
avc have never noticed a place build up
more rapidly, or fill up faster Avith a
more thrifty and thriving citizenship,
full of energy and vim,who come tobet
ter their fortunes. From a village with
a population of three or four hundred
inhabitants, it has 'increased to a
young city of one thousand or twelve
hundred, and the cry is still they
come, ns we witness almost evey day,
neAV parties coming in for the purpose
of locating. From not quite a dozen
business houses, the number has in
creased to nearly double that number.
Such has been the spirit of improves
ment in the Avay of building, and so
many new houses of all kinds have
been built here in the last tweU’e
months, that we find it impossible to
give anything like a correct estimate
ol the number, but viewing Carroll
ton as we did not long since from an
deration in the suburbs, ,we lind that
the town has the appearance of being
almost entirely new, as old houses are ,
the exception in its general appear
ance. As an evidence that the above
is no exaggeration, wo will state that
seventy-five or a hundred mechanics i
have been constantly employed the
last twelve months, and that tour saw
mills have been unable to supply the
demand for lumber. As an evidence
farther, of the faith which our proper- I
ty holders have in the town, we will
state that in many instances, they i
hold their property, at one hundred to ;
two hundred per cent more than they ;
did fifteen months ago, and that sales
are not uncommon at their figures,
though we consider them in many in
stances too high, their tendency being
to drive off a good many clever pco
pic, who would like to come here.
Ami now what of the future? Are
We building upon a firm foundation,
or is ours a mushroom growth, which
is only temporary, with nothing solid
or substantial to back it ? Is our
faith in our town founded upon log
ical ratiocination, or is it the faith of
the visionary enthusiast, who does not
.ooi< deep into the hidden mvsteries of
* 1
effect and cause ? We would answer
by saying that avo have thought no
little upon this question, and that our
views, as to the future of Carrollton,
were formed more than two years
ago, and that notwithstanding the un
inviting appearance of the place, Avhen
avq first came here, that they were
the same they are now, and have, not
at all, been affected by the new aspect
of things since. We believe in Car
rollton, and Me following are a few of
the reasons for the faith that is in us :
1. Its important location as the pro
posed junction of three of the greatest
railways of the South, viz; Savannah,
Griffin & North Alabama, North &
South and Georgia Western, the
former of which Avill soon be complet
ed to tlsis point, and the others at no
distant day. With these different
railway lines, competing to some ex
tent, will come cheap transportation,
the most necessary requisite for the
commercial groAvth of towns or cities.
2. Its relative position to surrounding
cities, Avhicli ay ill be our competitors
for the trade of this section of conn
try, we * being distant from Atlanta,
fifty miles, Rome about the same, Tab
ledega (Ala.) To and NcAvnan twenty
five,and from our superior facilities of
transportation, will bo enabled, at least,
to meet these cities upon half way
ground, and thus will be enabled to
control the trade of a large ar< a of
country, comprising several counties.
3. The well known fact, that the
surrounding country, avliosc legitimate
trading point Carrollton will he, is
thickly populated Avith a thrifty white
population, out of debt, avlio are
rapidly bettering their fortunes, and
groAving in Avealth.
4. Also, the well known fact that
the country surrounding Carrollton is
comparatively anew country, and
that Avhile it is thickly populated, it
has never been cut down and butch
ered up, as has middle Georgia, by
the curse of slave labor. Its virgin
o
j soil yet remains, and hence its Avealth
making power.
5. Being a Avhito man’s county, we
will receive large accessions to our
population from the negro counties,
just below us, a great many whites in
those sections, being unwilling to live
where the negro is in the
and hence are looking out, for just
such a country as this, with •Avhich
they av ill soon be put in communica
tion by railway lines.
G. Our fine mineral resources, both
copper and gold, the mines in this
! county having been Avorked Avith
! much success, in times past, but never
| having been fully developed, on ac
! count of the isolated condition of the
county from the railways. With our
new railway lines, Avill come capital,
and Ave have no doubt, but Avliat
these mines av ill then be fully (level
oped. Experienced miners Avho have
examined them, say that they are rich,
but that they can he worked only at
considerable expense. If tins is true,
avg look forward to the time at no
distant day now, when moneyed men
will take hold of them, and they will
prove a source ot revenue and Avealth
to the county.
7. Our fine timber will also add to
our wealth, as the Savannah, Griffin
& North Alabama and also the North
& South Railroad will pass through
sections of our county, noted for its
pine forests. These forests will be val- !
nable, as lumber is getting scarce in j
Middle Georgia.
8. The water power of this coun
ty can lie excelled by none in North
Georgia. This is well known. Where
will you find finer or bolder streams,
than the little Talapoosa River,
Snake’s Creek, Whooping Creek, In
dian Creek, Yellow Dirt, Turkey and
Buck’s Creek, and various others we
could mention ? All of these streams
have fine falls, and various sites, for
Mills, Gins, Factories, &c. While
these streams are utilized to some ex
tent, by the various mills and water
o-ins throughout the county, we have
as yet but two factories. With wa
ter power sufficient for a hundred, we
ought to have at least, a dozen or
twenty, and no doubt will have them
before a great many years.
The above we say, are a few of the
reasons why we believe in the future
|of Carrollton, and we will now close
this article, bv stating that notwith
standing all these natural advantages,
; Carrollton may yet fail to become a
I city of any considerable importance
through some fault of its own people.
It is Shnkspeare, who says—
There is a tide in the affairs of men,
Which taken at the Hood,
Leads on to fortune. Omitted,
And all the voyage of life,
Is bound in shallows and in miseries.
The same is true of towns, and now
is the flood tide in the existence of
this place. Whether Carrollton, with
all its advantages, is to become such a
place as its friends think it will, do
pends to a considerable extent upon
the action of its own people within
the next few months. The curse of
a great many new towns is the riot
and disorder, which often prevail in
their limits. We must show to the
outside world, and those constantly vis
iting us, that this is not the case here;
that Carrollton is a law abiding and
orderly place ; that the town gov
eminent and people are determined
upon this, and that rowdyism and tcr
i *
forism of all kinds will not be per
mitted to show their hydra heads in
our midst. Let ns put our foot firmly
down upon this point, for if avc do
not, Ave Avill most certainly regret it.
Again all must work together in nil
public enterprises,which tend to build
up the town, and render it more de
sirable as a place of residence. Above
all, let us avoid petty divisions and
-cliques, each man trying to build up
himself, by tearing down his neigh
bor. The old maxim, that “in union
there is strength,” is correct. We
cannot flourish, unless wo have unity.
Our merchants must also take care,
as soon as they have rad road facilities,
that they are not underbid, by suv-»
rounding cities, as a cotton or gro
eery market. They have got to make
a reputation, as a market, and in or
derto do this, they must give as much,
if not more, for cotton, and sell gro
ecries as cheap, if not cheaper, than
rival towns. If they can get up their
reputation, the first season, and get
trade started here, it will be worth a
great deal to them in the future. If
they should fail to meet expectations
the first season, after they have rail
road facilities, no matter what they
may do afterwards, it will ho a hard
matter to recover from the blow,
which they w ill have inflicted upon
themselves. Now then is the time
for them to be enterprising and wide
awake. Now is the “flood lime.”
Another important item and we
will close, as this article is already too
long. And that is this: That our
business men must see tq it, that the
public roads to the sections of country,
Avhose trade they expect to get, is
kept in good order. There is more in
this, than might appear at first blush,
but we Avill not take space here, to
elaborate.
IS" Col. Thompson editor of the
Savannah News, author of Major
Jones Courtship etc, says all true edi
tors are members of the Amateur Ag
ricultural Association, and thence pro
ceeds to prove his right to be so consid
ered, by an eloquent treatise upon the
coav pea—not the efiemenate lacty pea
nor the sickly large white pea, but
that savory morsel— that delieious
globule—the speckled pea. lie closes
his treatise with the following pathet
ic admonition to the husbandman :
Plant corn if you must —put broad
acres in cotton if you Avill —cultivate
clover if you wish—but, gentle bus
bandmen, give us the speckled pea
and that not scantily. It is well to
have corn and wheat. These are sub
stantial. But the speckled pea is for
age for man and beast, and a luxury
for both. Therefore let not the sea
sons of promise pass by with empti
ness.

Our Atlanta Letter.
Editor Times : —A homicide Avhicli
occurred here Tuesday night has fur
nished the people something to talk ;
about ever since. Most of the parties
u’.ars of this sad affair you will have |
gleaned from the Atlanta papers ere ,
now', so ray account of the matter
will be brief. Hilliard I 1 lemming a
brick-moulder about 28 years old, and
when intoxicated, a dangerous man,
was shot and killed about eleven
o’clock at night by Policernau Ik G.
.Jones and John O .Shields, or one of
these. Prior to the homicide, a short
time sooner a difficulty (I do not
know what) lmd arisen between
O'Shields and deceased. The two of*
|icon were together at the time.-
Flemming went oft and returning
with his brother met the officer* at a
point on Peters Street, nearer his
brother’s house than whe re he Bad
lelt them. They were on duty at the
time. After a few words had passed
between the parties, deceased struck
at Jones with a paling, whereupon
both policemen ran across the street
and turning fired tw'O to four shots in
stantly killing Flemming. Flemming’s
brother snvs four shots Avere fired,
two by each of the officers—another
witness says three, Avhile the Police
man claim that Flemming fired first
shot and officer Jones fired tvvoshols.
The officers at once surrendered
themselves to the authorities—were
indicted by the Grand Jury, aud de
manded a trial on Thursday. r lhe
trial will probably commence to-day
and thus the accused will be called
to account, in less than one week from
the killing of their antagonist. Ot
course it would bo improper for me
to express any opinion as to the re
sult of the trial, or the character of
Ike homicide.
The Superior Court during the
week has been pretty busy trying
duelling cases and misdemeanors. All
the cases for duelling tried thus far ,
have resulted in veriict3 of “ not
guilty,” the result I think of the un
popular character of the law's against
duelling. Several parties convicted of
misdemeanors and sentenced to very
heavy fines. “ The Sun ” has again
become the property of Hon,. A. 11.
Stephens and J. I. Miller has become
business manager. No other news
paper changes. Bishop George F.
Pierce preached a A’ory fine sermon
yesterday .at Trinity church. The
anniversary of the Atlanta Bible So
ciety took place yesterday and its pro
ceedings were interesting and gratify
ing in their character. Picnics con
tinue to be the order of the day, each
succeeding one being more elaborate
than its ’predecessors. The hire Ins
r avarice Comoanles are on their mettle
noAV as Avill bo shown by the fact that
John R. Parks and his wife whose
house on Hunter street was burned on
Monday night, have both been indict
ed tor arson, and are roav in jail
awaiting trial. Some degree of alarm
exists here about “Cholera” winch is
now* prevalent in Nashville. The
streets, sewers etc., here present an
inviting scene for the ravages of this
dread monster and unless the altitude
of the city saves it, I see no reason
Why it should not come. There is a
general complaint on the subject of
sewerage which the Council meet with
the “no money” cry. Good Many
people here speak of going to your
city, some temporarily—-others perm as
nently. Glad that improvement is
still the order of the day there.
Respect full y,

The Homestead Deciscin.
The following is from a letter of
Col. IT. I). Capers, a prominent law
yer of Covington Georgia, upon the
recent decision ot the United States
Supreme Court, on the Homestead
question. As will be seen, he does
not think that going into bankruptcy
will save homesteads, from debts con
tracted prior to 18G8. In this Col. C
differs from the majority of the law
yers we believe. However, we sup
pose the question will soon be tested
in the courts.
My Dear Sir —Your letter asking
my opinion with respect ro the oper
ations of the recent decisions of the
United States Supreme Court, bearing
on the constitutionality of the Home
stead law, as it is called in our State
now, and as provided for in the con
stitution of Georgia, adopted by the
Convention of 1868, &c,, has been
received.
Nothing can be more plainly stated,
than the annunciation of the Supreme
Court, that Homesteads which have
been set apart under our new Home*
stead law, in the face of the obliga
tions of contracts, made prior to the
adoption of our State Constitution,,
are estates created under the terms
and provisions of a State law which is
retroactive in its character, and hence,
made to impair the obligations of
these contracts.
It is in view of this expost facto
feature of the new constitution of
Georgia, that the United States Su
preme Court declares the “Homestead
Law 1 ’ of Georgia unconstitutional,
and, therefore, null and void.
No proposition can be more hostile
to the genius of true constitutional
law, and more injurious to the liber
ties of our people than the declaration
made through our latter day State
legislation, that homesteads can or
should be maintained under the oper
at:ons of a statute, or the provisions
of the organic law, of a State which
were enacted or have been adopted
since the creation of an obligation, or
a contract made in good faith, and at
j a time when another homestead law
was in force, exempting from levy
and sale but a moity ot the*npplicant’s
i estate.
I have never been able to discover
in the Homestead law, when so
plied, even an equity which could
bring it within the enlightened cons
science of the most liberal department
of jurisprudence. My opinion, as you
should know, has been uniformly,
that it was not based upon a single
principle of sound law ; but was only
| to be considered ns the diplomatic ad
dress of certain shrewd politicians
who were courting popularity in Geor
gia by appealing to a very weak ele
ment of our poor human nature.
Again, you ask me if I think vour
Homestead can be saved to your fam
ily through the operations of the
Bankrupt law of the United States.
I answer you, that if your homestead
has been set aside after the creation
of a lien of contracts on it, made
prior to the adoption of our State
constitution in 1868, T do not think
that it will be maintained under the
exemption provisions of the Bank
rupt law of the United States longer
than a case can be brought properly
before the United States Supreme
Court. You may. after enduring the
traverse of an adjudication in bank*
ruptcy, bold it against the above
cited class of obligations for a short
time, but the end of all this “proceed
ing in bankruptcy,” as far as your ease
is concerned, is announced in all I
have. written above with regard to the
j decision of the Supreme Court on the
constitutionality of the homestead law,
as passed upon at Washington City.
