CARTKRBVILLK, GA. t MCII, Slrii, 1870
C. A:
Track-laying has been resumed with
a vim, ou the Curtersville & Van Wert
Railroad. Soon the iron horse will
drink of the water of the Etowah, four
miles away. Speed the progress. V e
hope the day is not far distant when
work will bo commenced on the eas
tern end of this liue of road, run hence
up the Tennessee Road, via Fairmount,
Carter’s plantation, to Moi ■gan
ton, and meet the North Carolina rail
road, making almost a beo line, via
Ashville, and Salisbury, to Nev York;
let one of its termini be at the X, C.
line, meeting her road, and the other
reach away to EJyton, Alabama, the
great central point of that State. This
done, and the Cartersville & Van Wel t
Railroad will be one of the Railroad
powers of the South.
Captcraillc und Cur muHdiag:
The prospect is encouraging that
our town will some day, not far off,
be a central fjailroad point. Should
our road be continued to Morganton,
that rasult will be realized sooner-than
some may now suppose. Well this
brings us to another view. We ought
to increase our Manufactories; just
now a car factory should be put into
operation. Our new Railroad will
soon want a number to move the lum
ber, lime, grain, cotton and the illimit
able quantity of Slate, which are await
ing the completion of it to the quar
riea The Memphis & Charleston
Railroad Cos., want 400 box cars this
Bummer, to accommodate its vastly
increased business. We saw the Pres
ident of the Dawson Car Factory, and
he told us ho had their orders for 100
of thorn. Why not make them here.
Boon the best lumber for cars will be
brought to ns, at moderate prices from
the vast pine forests to the right of
Euharlee Creek. Coal will be reduc
ed atlleast 333 3 per cent, as soon as we
touch the Alabama coal fields, and as
all know, wo have any arnounl of the
best Pig metal, for car wheels, that
can be found, and made at the Curtin
Furnace, within two and a half miles
of our car shed, or deoot. We know
of no other place in Georgia, possess- j
iag so many natural advantages for this 1
enterprise, and it is a safe business,!
and a paying oue; besides, we have
nearly all the requisites to make a be-j
ginning, at hand. Mr. Scofield has al- j
ready the Iron Works iu fall blast—a
splendid engine, with necessary furna
ces, blasts, Ac., to cast car wheels; he
can commence in I ) days, for he is
u goo! workman, and has energy
enough to start a of cars. And
thou Messrs. Jacksons, Clayton & Cos.,
have their machinery already, driven
by steam, everything new and perfect,
dad they can turn out the wood work,
at a rate that would astonish some
Railroad Companies. They have a
house for seasoning lumber, thorougn
ly, in a short tim \ and these firms to
gether, when once under way, could
put up four cars a week, perhaps more,
and the price is some SSOO a cubb,
which will pay a good profit. We
suggost to these gentlemen to unite in.
this business, and we prdict they can 1
make fortunes out of it. Come, gen- ■
tlemen, get together, and talk the mat- j
ter over, and we you will com- j
menee anew era for yourselves and
for the town of your choice.
£&*> The Georgia Mutual Life In- j
Huranoe Company, a purely Georgia
institution, ifc meeting with success
wherever introduced. Several of our
best and most prominent citizens, have
invested in this sound Company.
Its plans, features and negotiations
nre *U liberal in behalf of the Policy
Holders. All unnecessary restrictions
in residence, occupation or travel have
been removed, and the rates of premi
ums have been reduced to as low a
standard ns safety and prudence v\ ill
allow.
This is the only Georgia Company
that has started with a cash paid up
capital of two hundred thousand dol
lars, and incorporated all the now and
liberal features in favor of the insur
ed.
Our friends who fed the sacred
trust and responsibility of dependent
families, can do no better than invest j
a small annual amount for the protec-:
lion of their loved ones, in this Home

UUAMiJIin I*KHSETMEXTS.
We. the Grand Jury for the first
week, March Term, Bartow Superior
Court, 1870, beg leave to make the fol*
lowing general presentments :
From our own observation, ahd from
all the information wo have been able
I to get on the subject, we find (he geu-
I end morals of the county greatly im
proved. All seem to have « tiled down
quietly in the various avocations of life,
and the great masses of bur people who,
a few years since ’presented the appear
ance of an angry and disturbed swarm
of be.*s, now present tlie appearance of
an onler loving, law-abiding commu
nity. New churches and school bouses
have gone up, and all are well attend
i ed aud enjoyed ns in days of old.
We have examined the public build
iugs and find the new Court House,
| which has just been erected, exceeding
j iv comfortable and convenient, and an
j ornament to the county; it has, how
ever, been reported to us that there
are several leaks in the roof, and we
respectfully recommend the Ordinary
to have this evil remedied at once.
Total cost of Court House $18,409 28
“ paid bv sub. $6,290 00
“ “ County 5,977 19
12,273 19 !
. i
Leaving balance unpaid $6,136 09 j
Total due & eolectable on
subsciipti m $1,435 43
“ balance to be
paid bv county 3,700 60
$6,136 09
We have also examined the Jail and
find it insufficient for the purposes for
which a Jail is intended. It is too
small, too insecure, and badly ventilat
ed; and while we are ready to admit
that a Jril should not be a palace, yet
humanity requires that we have a pris
on in which the unfortunates who oc
cupy it can at least be made comforta
ble as well as secure. As it uow stands
we find the county is necsessarily com
pelled to keep two guards regularly
employed, and this expense alone will
soon defray the cost of anew, coven
ant. comfortable aud secure Jail. We
would, therefore, respectfully recom
mend that anew Jail be erected with
out delay, and that it, together with
the Court House, be enclosed with a
suitable fence.
,\ e find the buildings on the pauper
farm ueat and comfortable, and com
modious enough to accommodate from
sixty’ to seventy inmates. There are
at this time in this institution twenty
six occupants, as follows: Three very
old and blind men, four very old and
helpless negro women; the remainder
are such as the ordinary inhabitants of
such places, all greatly to be pitied
and more to l>e envied.
We think the rations allowed the in
mates are ample for all their necessities,
and upon questioning them, their an
swer is that their food and clothing is
all they desire.
We also find the farm in fair condi
tion, fencing good, with about forty
acres now sown in wheat, and about
thirty-eight acres ready prepared for
planting in corn; the mules aud other
stock in good condition. There is no
bread stuffs on the farm, and only a
bout four hundred pounds of bacon on
■ hand.
We find many of the public roads
not on record, and recommend that
the Ordinary procure a list of them
and place them on record; and we fur
ther recommend that the hands bo
equally divided between them, which
we find has not been done heretofore.
The road fr~tu Allatoona, crossing
at Capt. Puckett’s ferry, pasing through
Cartersville, thence down the Etowah
river, intersecting the Rome road at or
near Oonusena, should have more
hands on it, and the bridge be put in
good condition. The lower bridge on
Tworuu creek, on said road, we find
impassable for loaded wi gone. We ,
j iiLo find the ferry boat and chain at j
1 Capt. Puckett’s ferry is considered ve
; ry uusafe, and respectfully recommend
I tliat the owners of said furry be requi
-1 red to furnish anew boat and chain,
or rope. The interest of the traveling
public demands that the road from
said ferry to the residence of Captain
Puckett be reopened on the same land
where it originally was, and we would
respectfully recommend the Town
\ Council of Cartersville, in connection
j with the Road Commissioners, to have
lit opened at once. We would also
recommend that a bridge be built a
! cross Tworun creek at Best’s mill.—
' We find the road from Cartersville to
CJedurtown in good condition, with one
exception —the hill on the West side
of Euharlee creek, on said road, is ve
ry bad, and cannot be made good as it
now runs, and we therefore recom
mend that it be changed back to where
it originally run, thereby avoiding said
hill.
The road from Cedartown to Kings
ton, via Collister’s mills, is in bad con
dition, from the point where it inter
sects with the road from Cartersvill?
to Cedartown, to Collister’s mills.
We find that the roads and streets
in the corporate limits of the towns of
Cartersville and Kingston are not in
as good condition as they ought to be,
considering the number of hands in
their limits subject to l’oad duty.
We recommend that all roads in our
county be opened to the width of thir
ty feet.
We have examined the books of the
Treasurer, and find a balance on hand
on the first of January last, of the com
mon, or general fund, of $2 262 85, and
of the pauper fund of $1,873 55, mak
ing a totcl of $4,126 40. We also find
that he made a report to the Ordinary
at that time, showing a balance on
hand of $2,828 49. In this report we
find where ho failed to charge himself
to $2,156, which added to the balance
which he shows on hand, would make
the sum of $4,984 49, showing a differ
ence between the balance as appears
on his books, and this report, of $858.-
09. This is a discrepancy which we
did not have time to investigate, but
recommend that he do so, and straight
en the matter up. We do not find any
index to these books, and therefore
have found it very difficult to investi
gate them, and we respectCulfy recom
mend that he raise an account for each
special tax levied and collected for
county purposes, and place each page
of these accounts on an index kept for
that purpose, then there will be no j
guess work, but when an order is f
drawn for any purpose, on any special ’
or general fund he can turff to his ac- ‘
count and see how much of that spe
-1 iitl fund is ou hand, aud should there
beau excess of any special fund, the
Ordinary can easily issue an order
trausfi ring it to some other account
where it may le needed.
We learn that the Treasurer lias
been loaning the funds in his hands at
interest, and while we are unwilling to
impute improper motives to him, we
feel colrpeifenl to condemn the act as
establishing a bad precedent, and are
Clearly of the opinion that no officer
entrusted with public funds for safe ;
keeping has the right to loan such
funds at interest, or otherwise.
In Oar examination of the Tax Di
gest we find some of our citizens have
given in their property below its
cash value, while others have given
theirs in at its full value, and wo rec
ommend, in the words of the law, that
the lieciever of Tax Returns shall care- j
fully scrutinize all returns, and if in j
his judgment they are given in too low, j
he shall at once assess said property
at its true value.
In regard to the books of the Com
missioner of the Poor, we hardly know
what to say. We are satisfied they
are correct, and vet the style in which
they are kept, and the manner in which
some of his vouchers are go ten up,
and in which others are not gotten up,
and the general want of arrangement
and system are such as would not meet
the approval of this body. We would
respe tl'nlly recommend that he adopt
and get up a uniform system of vouch
ers, and have Idem properly numbered
and these numbers placed oposite the
entries on the books. This would at
least save the jury, or any one whose
duty it might be to examine them, an
immense amount of labor; and we
would further recommend that he dis
continue the practice of paying off the
grocery and other trills of the employ
ees of the pauper farm, an 1 bringing
them in on his books. It gives the
concern too much the appearance of a
retail liquor concern, and to avoid this,
we think it would be better for those
employees te be paid in money, and
let them settle their own debts.
We have also examined the books
of the Clerk of the Superior Court, aud
find them neatly and well kept. We
have also examined the books pertain
ing to the office of the Ordinary, and
find them neatly and well kept, and in
justice to Judge Howard must say that
he has made quite an improvement on
the old mode of keeping the order
book; as they are uow kept the entire
expense of the county can be seen at a
glance.
There has been complaints rendered
to this body for failure of duty on the
part of someone, but who, we are un
able to shy. It is alledged that when
a criminal is brought into Court for
trial, there is generally great difficulty
in getting the witnesses, and it seems
to us this ought not to be, for if, w hen
the Grand Jury finds a true bill and
the Clerk issues the warrant, if he' at
the same time were to issue the sub-
the witnesses, and put them
with the warrant aid turn them all
over to the Sheriff thgether, and the
Sheriff would subpoena the witnesses
as soon as the arrest was made, it
seems to us that a great deal of the
delay of taking orders and sending for
witnesses after the case is ready for
trial might be avoided, and we respect
fully recommend that this matter be
looked into by the proper authority,
and put in force.
Wo also recommend that the bar of
the Court Room be moved out to the
edge of the windows in the centre of
which it now stands, thereby giving
more room to those engaged in Court.
We also recommend that a per cent
upon the State tax sufficient to raise
nine thousand dollars be laid upon the
taxable property of said county, unless
anew jeil be erected, in which event it
will be necessary to increase the per
cent, in proportion to the cost of said
building. This will be a reduction on
tlie taxation of last year of about one
third.
In taking leave of his Honor, Judge
Parrott, we beg to tender our thanks
for the able and impartial manner in
which he has discharged the duties of
presiding officer of the Court, and for
his uniform kiudness and courtesy to
this body, and also.to.Col. Broyles, the
Solicitor General, for his uniform
courtesy, together with the assistance
lie has rendered us, and. to the officers
of Court generally, for "their uniform
kindness and courtesy to this body. •
All of nkicli is respectfully submit
ted.

Mr. Editor: On visiting your town, i
the smell of guano reminds me pain
fully of my experience in that article.
'ft) ere never was a time wheu* the J
Sooth was so flooded as it now is,
with patent medicines, machinery, ag- j
ricttltural tools, fancy seeds, aud worth- j
less fertilizers. .. * |
Every mail is filled with circulars,
instructing the poor farmer how, by j
sending them some of his dearly earn- j
ed money, he can make doable ns
muck Be as faithless and unlieliev
ing as you may, if they ever get hold
of your name, they will, sooner or la- j
ter, take you in. lam but a one-horse
farmer*, and yet I cannot go anywhere
about my yard or horse lot, without be
ing reminded of my gullibility, by see- j
ing some detir bought, so-called, agri- i
cultural implement, thrown aside as |
useless. Even in my house, I see a j
silent Sewing Machine, and on the top
shelf, safely put away is my three
minute churn, which my practical wife !
has too much good sense to bother
with. lam proud however, to record j
the fact that so far, I have resisted
the strange Female Regulator which
I see advertised in your paper; or,
have I been tvs yet, overcome by the
soft, and insinuating blandishments of
the pertinacious, irrepresible and übi
quitous Life Insurance Agent.
But to return to guano. I held
out against it, for a long time. The
year before, I had cultivated ten acres
in cotton, according to the old time
plan, and had made four heavy bales,
which brought me in market about
five hundred dollars. With my usual
economical habits, I got along with
that amount, at least independently.—
But circular after circular poured in
upon me, and I was informed that by
making an investment in guano, I
could make from two to two and a
half, and even three, bales to the acre.
I was not green enough to believe
all of it; I thought there was some
truth in it By following their advice, ;
if I could make but one bale to the
acre, I would be satisfied. Who that
once knew the pleasure of having a
plenty of money, does not want to be
in that situation again. I was not
ambitious, but still I felt it was my du
ty, if possible, to prevent my wife
from losing her good looks, and good
temper, by keeping her from burning
her face, cooking over a hot fire. For
we all know how good and gentle our
ladies are, if they are never crossed,
and only do what they wish to; and I
too, thought how grand it would be, j
if I were enabled to buy a tall hat
like our ministers, members of the
Legislature, aud short lawyers. Ten
bales of cotton! that would be glori
ous; but the more I thought about
it, the more my wants grew: so I ad
ded five acres more to my patch, and,
of course, in my imagination, I had :
live more bales to spend. I purchas
ed a couple of tons of compound, am
moniated, complicated, comminuted,
double-extract of concentrated nasti
ness; I hired laeor, put it in, planted
tlie seed right over it, and cultivated
according to Dickson. The result was
three light bales, the sale of which
left me oue hundred dollars in debt,
my wife in a bad humor, and' I oblig
ed to wear my old clothes, and feeling
so humble, that I would not have
worn a tall hat if any body had given
me oue.
Now, do you blame me, Mr. Editor,
if every time I smell guano, that I
should think—well, in fact—that it
stinks ?
Before concluding allow me to pro
pose to my agricultural brethren, the
following
conundrum:
Why are these yankoe manipulated
guanos, like a fashionable young lady ?
Because they are both Dam—sels.
Cotton selling at 19 cents.
Some peaches left yet, enough, if no
further disaster, to insure an abun
dance for eating, and drying.
Farmers of Bartow, you have acted
wisely in sowing clover and grasses,
now cap the climax by planting an
abundance of corn, and let your cotton
crop be clear gain.
Our court is still in session this
week.
