papm published in the State, with a
fide circulation of TWELVE
HUNDRED SUBSCRIBERS, and
daily increasing. Our community
and section is worthy of a good paper,
and it is our determination to give
them such an one. All our energies,
mental and physical, will be fully
and freely exj>ended in the accom
plishment of this end. We respect
fully ask our patrons to do their duty
by us. This must Is? done or we, as
publishers and patrons, must sepa
rate. We send out this number of

DOLLARS A YEAR. Those of
our subscribers whose time of pay

from our list. Look out for the cross
mark and act accordingly.
Tiie Old and New Year.—The
old year with its sorrows and joys,
its mis-spent moments and misap
plied energies, its unheeded admoni
tions and warnings and slighted op
portunities, its precious hours of sun
shine dark days of storm and
tempest, its cherished anticipations
and sad recollections, its adventures,
its perils, and its misfortunes, has
passed away forever, and now fills its
page in the history of the past. We
have entered upon anew year. What
of like joys and sorrows will fall to
our lot during its progress, is in the
womb of the unrevealed future; but
much of either, or both, hinge upon
the course of conduct we shape out as
tlie rule of our life. The “path of du
ty is the only path of safety,” there
fore let us, one and all, strike out on
this line, for we art; divinely assured
that the way of duty is the way of
pleasantness, and all her paths are
peace.
Beautigvl Scenery.— After an
absence of about three years, we paid
a flying visit, one day last week, to
the old Etowah Iron Works. These
works are six miles above Cartersville
on the Etowah River, where the riv
er passes through the mountains.—
The mountain scenery on either hand
is almost unsurpassingly grand and
picturesque, and reminded us forcibly
°f the sublime sterreoscopie scenery
of the Hudson, Niagara, and the Cat
skills, and we wished that an artist
had been with us with his camera,
that he might paint these natural
Cur the wYTfhl-Iff Took upon
and admire. Every time we view
thorn they present additional attrac
tions. It will amply repay any one
fond of landscape scemr y** to take a
trip up this river for a few miles.
A company, we learn, has been or
ganized *in this county who are going
into the pitch and turpentine busi
si new, between this place and Euliar
lee. There is a fine belt of pine tim
ber running across the county, and
extending within two miles west of
Carters ville.
We were invited to a Christmas
Tree party at the hotel of Mr. J. C.
Martin, in Adairsvillc, Ca., on Christ
mas night. Owing to providential
causes we were unable ta attend, but
understand that they had a jolly time
anti everybody was well pleesed.—
We return our warmest thanks to
Mr. A Mrs. J. C. Martin for kindly
* Temembering us by sending us a box
full of dainties and delicacies so hand
somely and tastefully served up for
the occasion. It is very gratifying
to know that, though absent, we were
not forgotten.
It is with feelings of deep sorrow
that we see announced in the Colum
bus j Enquirer of Saturday last, the
death of George M. Renfroe, an old
and highly respectable citizen of that
city. He has been, since the war, a
carriage dealer in Columbus, Ga.—
He leaves a truly devoted wife and
an interesting and affectionate daugh
ter to mourn his death.
Cassville was attached to the King
ston Circuit, at the late session of the
North Georgia Conference, and Shi
loh was thrown back into the Cal
houn Circuit. The Bartow Circuit
is yet to be supplied with a pastor.
In looking over our exchange we
find them full of murders, homicides,
manslaughters, serious and fatal acci
dents, bacchanalian riots and revelries
all over this Christian land, while cel
ebrating the anniversary of the ad
vent of our Lord and Saviour Jesus
Christ into the world. Shame upon
a nation of people claiming to be the
followers of the meek and lowly Je
sus.
This is Leap Year. Young ladies
bear this in mind, and exercise the
privilege it vouchsafes to your sex,
and dont let its close catch you on
the retired list for life.
Con. Acton.—We called at the
new picture gallery on Wednesday
evening of last week, and had the
pleasure of a short interview with
Col. Acton, the phat, phacetious boy
of the Constitution. His proportions
are as FalsUtffian as ever, and he still
seems to be laughing and growing fat.
He was sitting for his picture, and
said that fourteen of the prettiest girls
in Catfersville had called on him for
one apiece, and he was having them
taken just for their gratification.
Christmas day was bright and fair,
and we saw many faces that were as
bright and Mr as that spring-like day.
Old Santa-Claus had travelled round
promiscuously, and had made many
of the little folks happy. We were
almost inclined to wish we were a boy
so ihat we might enjoy feast*
on sugar-plums and the like.
\J u 'jK e Erskine sentenced McLaugh
bS,Y«s Atlanta (Ga.) Poet Office em
aervL** to pay a fine of $6,058 and
* «*ree years in the penitentiary.
Conley, proceeding under
the 4th section of an act of the Legis
lature entitled an “ Act to loan the
credit of the State to the Cartereville
and Van Wert Railroad Company,”
approved March 12th, 1869, has issued
his proclamation taking possession of
the road on the petition of Henry
Clews, together with all its property
of every kind, and by his proclama
tion has places! the same in the hands
of Daniel S. Printup, Esq., of Rome,
Ga., as agent of the State. The object
of the seizure of the road is explained
by the act alluded to, namely: to
apply the earnings of the road to the
extinguishment of the unpaid bonds
and coupons for which the State by
virtue of its endorsement is supposed
to be liable, and in the discretion of
the Governor, upon the continued
failure to pay said bonds, to sell the
road and equipments at such time
as he in his judgement may think
proper. The order for the seizure
was made upon the petition of Clews,
who claims to hold one hundred and
seventy-five of these bonds, each for
the sum of one thousand dollars. The
petition avers that the semi-annual
interest on the bonds, amounting to
six thousand one hundred and twen
ty-five dollars, became due on the
first flay of September, 1870, and is
now unpaid, and the further fact ap
pears from the petition that these
bonds wore issued on and over the
first fourteen miles of the road and
endorsed by the Governor of the
State. The manifest wrong attempt
ed to be perpetrated by these pro
ceedings upon the jx-ople and the
State has, for the present, received a
stunning blow, and we hope and be
lieve that after all the efforts which
have been made and are tieing made
to accomplish their ends, the parties
engaged in them will meet with a
final and well merited defeat. Mr.
Printup came down from Rome, as
agent of Conley, under the act of the
Legislature, to take possession, and
has gone back to Rome without ef
fecting his object. By a bill of in
junction heard before Judge Parrott,
on Tuesday, all the parties in the in
terest of Clews and Conley, as well as
judgment creditors levying upon the
road, have been restrained. Col.
Printup demanded the possession of
the road of the Sheriff. The Sheriff
refused under the decree of the Court.
The Colonel thought the sovereignty
of the State badly treated, and insist
ed on his right of possession. The
Sheriff said he was bound by the or
der of the Court, and having before
his eyes the fear of punishment, re
fused peremptorily to let the Colonel
in, and so the Colonel has thus far
failed to carry out the scheme of
Clews and Conley. Here ends this
part of the drama. What next ?
We shall, in our next issue, have
something more to say upon this
matter.
The old Etowah Iron Works.—
Our heart almost sunk within us, a
few days since, while viewing the
ruins of this once bee-hive of indus
try. We have visited these works in
days of yore, when the valley and
surrounding mountains were made
resonant with the whirr of machine
ry, the roar of falling waters, the bus
tle and noise of the numerous labor
ers as they plied their daily toil, and
the keen, shrill whistle of the iron
horse as he bore off train after train
of cars loaded witli flour and iron, the
products of these works and mills, to
be scattered abroad the land as articles
of commerce and trade, all combining
to make the scene one of unusual in
terest. But O! how changed the
scene now. There stands Sherman’s
sentinels still, in the shape of crumb
ling walls and chimneys. These only
mark the spots where once stood the
magnificent flouring and rolling mills,
furnaces, foundry, offices, store rooms,
and dwellings of the old Etowah
Mining A Manufacturing Company.
A deathly stillness pervades the prem
ises. Nothing is now heard within
these borders but the rippling of the
Etowah as her passing waters sing a
requiem to the memory of their form
er greatness, while the once busy
haunts of man have been abandoned
to the owls and bats. Surrounding
this waste and ruin still towers Mount
Anthony and neighboring peaks,
frowning down upon the work of des
truction so profusely scattered at their
base. There the monument erected
in honor to the founders of this great
enterprise is rapidly crumbling into
dust, and decay and forgetfulness is
emblazoned upon every stone which
once filled a niche in the foundations
and walls of the commodious build
ings. While we stood and viewed
these ruins, we wondered to ourself
if the glory of this enterprise had for
ever departed. We trust not.
STATE NEWS.
Foster Blodgett, yesterday gave
bond, in the sura of $25,000, for his ap
pearance before the Superior Court.
There were two bench warrants
against him-one on account of a true
bill found against him, last spring, in
the Dobbins case, and the other, re
cently, in connection with State Road
frauds generally. His bondsmen
were W m. R. Rhodes, who qualified
in the sum of $50,000; Ephraim
tweedy, $40,000; and A. L. Harris,
whose property is said to be assessed
for taxation at $12,000. The recogni
zance was taken before Judge Man
ning.—Atlanta Sun, 29 th.
Another Seizure.— We learn
that acting Governor Conley has
seized upon the Cartersville and Van
Wert Railroad, for non-payment of
interest on bonds of the company in
doreed by the State of Georgia, now
in the hands of Henry Clews A Cos.,
and has appointed Col. D. s Printup
of Rome, receiver of the road to take
charge of the same and run it in the
interest of the State.— Atlanta Sun.
Rev. E. P. Birch has been elected
President of the Methodist Female

The election for municipal officers

The Hon. Joseph E. Brown lias
paid into the State Treasury $25,000

This amount has been promptly paid
so soon as the same became' due, ever
since the road has been in the hands
of the present lessees.
Mr. A. M. Speights announces that
he will commence the publication of
the “Griffin Daily News,” on the
16th of January next. Price, $5 per
annum, and independent in politics.
Well, Mr. Editor, did you ever
see the like! When will our little
railroad quit turning summersaults,
playing leap-frog, skinning the cat,
etc., for it has been at these childish
pranks from its earliest infancy, and
just now seems to be in full practice
and constant exercise. Everything
connected with it seems to be but a
“ school-boy’s tale, the wonder of an
hour.” A few weeks ago, it was
again turned completely topsy-tur
vy, with some holding on to one end
and some pulling at the other—ail
hopeful of success, but doubtful of re
sults. And that tergiversation seem
ed to promise some degree of good,
as it resulted in the cleaning out of
the useless, vampire, supernumerary
horde of so-called officials that were
eagerly sucking its last drop of life
blood, and completely absorbing its
entire income. And so, hurrah for
the evolution that stopped all that;
and huzza for the hand that devised,
and the hand that wrought that de
liverance.
The self-constituted President, with
his self-given salary of $lO 00 per day,
after drawing a heaping half million
of State bonds and leaving the road
unfinished and his laborers unpaid,
felt it safest and best to repair a little
nearer the Polar regions, but sent
back another “ like unto himself” at
an additional salary of SIOOO per day
(even Sundays included) to gather up
the crumbs that were left—with even
a satellite or two, at SSOO per day, to
help him (do nothing,) or at least to
see that it was well done—thereby
running their salaries beyond the en
tire income of the road: Now*, wan’t
that making money and paying debts
for the road with a vengeance ? Why,
at that rate they might have soon
swallowed up road, stock, stock-hold
ers and all, for deficit of salaries. Can
carpet-bags never be filled, or the
baggers satisfied! Why, you’d as
well try to fill the grave, or satiate
the horse-leach.
But forbearance was neither virtu
ous or tolerable, so the oppressed cried
out “ who will deliver us from these
bodies of death ?” To which Judge
Parrott generously and promptly re
plied, and through a bill of injunction
cried scat, scat ! and such another
scatting off, you “never seed the
like”—like when the cook stamps the
floor and switches all the smoked
kittens out of the chimney .corner.
Hope they won’t say they were Ku-
Kluxed off, just because they didn’t
succeed in Ku-Kluxing the road.
For this Ku-Klux business won’t do
on railroads or anywhere else.
But, really, Mr. Editor, laying
all joking aside, hasn’t this been the
greatest era of revolution and change,
summersaults and somersets, skin
ning cat and leaping frog, bottom rail
and top rail, you ever saw before!
Why, only think of it: Napoleon,
dethroned—the Pope, circumscribed
—Brigham Young, divorced—Bul
lock, runaway—Kimball, gone dis
tracted, and his Cherokee Railroad
officials turned heels-over-head.
Well, Mr. Editor, it is funny just
to look on, especially at the workings
of this one little railroad. As it has
doubtless cost the State more, and
certainly less has been paid for the
labor done on it—two-thirds broad
guage, with big engine (old Nicka
jack), one-third narrow-guage, with
pony engine (little Zebra), meeting in
the woods, squalling, squealing and
switching. Well, the fact is, the peo
ple of Rockmart and Van Wert really
can’t toll whether the train is there or
not, whether it can pull ’um or not,
whether they’d better ride on it or
walk or not, or what. Well, let’s
wait and set? the ultimate statu quo of
this marvelous little road way up
Somewhere in Cherokee.
FIRE ! FIRE ! ! FIRE ! ! !
Editors Standard & Express:
—lt would appear that enough had
already been said in regard to fire or
ganization, within the last few years,
to have caused our people to organize
some mode for protection against the
ravages of this devouring element.
Every one you meet, and to whom
the matter is mentioned, will say oh
yes, it should be done, but why don’t
we do it, is the question. We have
certainly suffered sufficiently to real
ize most fully the great necessity for
doing something.
In every city, and most towns of im- 1
portance the fire department has come
to be one of considerable importance
—and well it should.
Cartereville is large enough and
certainly able to have a fire depart
ment. As we are now, let a fire
break out and gain any headway, and
the conflagration rages at will, and
mocks the undisciplined efforts of the
gathed crowd, awing them into blind
dismay or stupid resignation.
Society has devised no other ade
quate means for security against de
struction and loss than those that are
to be found in the stout arms and
bold hearts of her sons when uniting
their strength and courage in a com
mon cause. All the devices of law,
or of more commercial union, look
only to reparation and relief,after the
injury or loss has occurred. Insu
rance Companies are instituted upon
this principle, though I would not
depreciate their advantages and ad
mit that the premium paid for their
policies are investments wisely made,
and the absence of fire organizations
here and elsewhere cause a much
higher premium to be paid than
would be required if it existed.
I know of my own knowledge that
there are many men in this place
ready and willing to go into an organ
ization of this kind—men who do not
own one dimes worth of real estate.
All they need is proper encouragement
in the way of funds to purchase out
fits, etc., either from the property
holders by subscription, or by the au
thorities of the place. I have, known
at least a dozen attempts to get up
a fire organization, but a few of the
property owners ever made their ap
pearance. Those who would come
adjourned to other times hoping to
get them out, but they finally dwin
dled down to nothing, dis
couraged those? philanthropic gentle
men who were trying to do some
thing for the good of all, and the en
terprises given up.
You have through the columns of
your valuable paper urged this mat
ter upon the people. Continue to do so
and keep it before them to their
great shame, until they do something.
Some of our people seem to want
Cartereville to be made a city. If
this will do us any good and beget a
more enterprising spirit among us,
why let us be made a city, but I can’t
see how it will help us. We will be
no more a city than we are now, ex
cept in name, and the truth is, we
will be a very poor town unless we
do something to sustain ourselves in
the way of public enterprises, manu
factures, etc. But I am getting off
the track, and will leave the balance
to you. So stir up the people on the
matter of a fire organization especial
ly, and manufacturing enterprises
generally. Jinks.
-WTHfW I h It a
V« Wert IUII ro«4 Company.
The following article, taken from
the Atlanta Constitution of the 2nd,
I censuring Clews, at whose instance
[ th e road was seized, speaks for itself:
! W e have now got some strong evi
dence to show that Henry Clews A
Cos., of New York, are mixed up
knowingly in the improper use of our
railroad securities. The Era contains
a column proclamation from the act
ing Executive reciting a petition of
Henry Clews A Cos., to the effect that
they hold and own one hundred and
seventy-five bonds of the Cartereville
A Aan \\ ert Railroad Company, in
dorsed by the State, to cover the first
fourteen miles of the road, for which
they paid 90 cents on the dollar, on
which bonds the company has failed
to pay the interest, wherefore they
pray that the Exec itive will seize the
road, and apply the earnings first to
paying the laborers liens and then to
the interest due them.
Clews A Cos. swear to these state
ments.
Upon this petition Mr. Conley seiz
es the road and puts it in the hands of
Colonel Daniels. Print up as the State’s
receiver. Colonel Printup is under
stood to be Clews A Co’s, attomev.
So that he occupies the two fold and
conflicting position of attorney for pe
titioners and agent for the State, if
this be true.
Now, let us look into this most ex
traordinary affair, for it is extraordi
nary to a remarkable degree.
Governor Bullock in his letter to
Mr. Conley, of December Ist, 1870,
about the bouds, has these para
graphs:
As to the Cartereville A Van Wert
or Cherokee Road, that company noti
fied the Executive Department that they
had retired, and cancelled the Cartere
yille A Van Wert bonds, and would
issue under the new charter as “Cher
okee Railroad. ” If the report is not
true, the State is bound only on the
Cartereville A Van Wert indorse
ment.
It may be said that I should have
required the cancelled railroad bonds
to be returned to the State. This
would have been abundant caution,
but the bonds were those of the rail
road company, and not the State, and
I pursued the same course with their
notice as with the Air-line Railroad.
That company reported their bonds
cancelled and 1 believe they are,
though 1 have never seen them.
The newspaper statement is that
Clews holds the Cartereville A Van
Wert bonds yet as against amounts
alleged to be due him. My recollec
tion is that Clews is or was the Treas
urer of that Company. If so, he
would seem to be the official with
whom those bonds should have been
retired. His connection with the
bonds as Treasurer and as banker may,
however, Ik? distinct and separate.
In any event the State is bound only
for one issue, and investigation will
decide the truth or falsity of the com
pany’s report, that the first issue had
been retired.
It will thus be seen that the Car
tersville A Van Wert, or Cherokee,
Railroad Company, of which Henry
Clews was and is Treasurer, notified
Governor Bullock that the bonds
mentioned in the petition of Clews A
Cos., were retired and cancelled and
new ones issued in their stead. The
new bonds indorsed by the State are
now out and in use, while Clews &
Cos. hold the cancelled bonds and
make their possession the basis of
their petition for the seizure of the
road and its transfer to their own at
torney as receiver on account of the
neglect of the company, of which
Clews is Treasurer, to pay the inter
est.
The situation is this. On the basis
of cancelled bonds, held by Clews,
banker, and for failure of interest that
should be paid by Clews, Treasurer,
Clews, banker and treasurer, petitions
Conley to seize the road, who does it,
and puts it in the hands of Clews’ al
leged attorney.
We pretermit any comment upon
Col. Printup, until it is known wheth
er he still continues to be Clews’ at
torney. He is a gentleman of stand
ing and integrity, and we would not
do him injustice.
But Clews & Cos. stand in no envia
ble position. Clewa, TxummyQA Kjf I
the company, must have known of
the company’s report to Governor
Bullock that the first bonds were can
celled. And if Clews, as banker, held
these cancelled bonds as live ones, and
permitted the new bonds to be used
by the company, he is party to a di
rect fraud on the State. Where are
the new bonds? Clews, as treasurer,
should know this fact.
The aspect of fraud is most striking.
Mr. Conley has acted most precipi
tately, it appears to us, and negligent
ly.
But there is another feature of this
matter. These old bonds were issued
before five milt's of the road were
completed, and therefore are not val
id. Issued illegally, the subsequent
completion of the road does not vali
date them. Clews, as Treasurer of
the road, was presumed to know its
progress, and therefore was cognizant
of the premature and illegal issue of
bonds.
It is certainly a very strange condi
tion of affaire. Did Mr. Clews deceive
Governor Bullock ? Or has Governor
Bullock misrepresented Mr. Clews?
It is a bad complication for someone.
A private letter from New York
says that “ Mr. Clews does not enjoy
the confidence of the commercial com
munity of New York; that he abuses
Georgia and the Georgia Treasury ;
that he asserts he has been a victim,
and he did not know Georgia from
Bullock, thought Bullock was Geor
gia.” This writer wants Mr. Clews
brought before the Investigating
Committee.

the subscribers, will commence our ex
ercises in the above Institute, on the
SECOND MONDAY IN JANUARY, 1872.
There W *M he three departments in this In
stitution, viz : Scholastic. Academic, and Col
legiate thereby enabling tlie citizens of Car
tersville, and thejnljaccnt country, to enjoy the
privilege ot giving their children a complete
mid thorough education, which, heretofore they
have been compelled to seek in distant iustitu
tions. \V hilst, at-present, we are compelled to
teach the elementary branches, in order to sus
tain ourselves, yet our ultimate aim will be to
build up an Institution of the highest order.
We intend to prepare the vouth who mat be
entrusted to our charge, for all the w alks, either
ot private or of public life ; and whilst we are
imparting that knowledge, and those scientific
principles which will enable them to take a
nigh and distinguished stand among their fel
low -men, we will also instruct them in that
higher knowledge and moral culture, which
alone can elevate man for that sphere which
God intended him to fill.
This Institution will consist of Male and Fe
male scholars, giving girls here a chance to
prepare themselves either for teachers or for
business stations in life, thus enabling them to
make an independent living.
The tuition will be from S2OO to SSOO per
month, according to grade, payable monthly.
I he government of this institution will be
mild, but firm. As order is the first law of na
ture, so children must, and will, be governed,
that are entrusted to our care.
Large boys and girls will be put upon their
parole ol honor, and if they do, at any time,
violate the rules of the institution, they must
immediately reform, or else retire from the
Institution.
As no corrupting nor demoralizing influence
will be tol eraled in this Institution, our rules
are simply olmdience and hard study ; and if
parents or giiTtnliaps will give us their co-op
eration, they w ill be sure to get the worth of
their money. M e intend to have our Institution
incorporated, so as to confer degrees.
