CAPITAL AN D CARTERSVILLE
The correspondent of the Louisville
Courier-Journal in one of his commu
nications makes the statement that
“Cartersville is the corning town of
llorth Georgia.” No reasonable,'
thinking man can,"for a moment,
doubt, if he will only look at her po
sition, that her future is, at least, one
of large proportions. The agricultur
al region, both above and below,
North, East and West, is beyond all
controversy the best in the State of
Georgia, so much so as to leave her
without a competitor. All the grain-,
all the grasses, cotton of a very supe
rior fibre and of magnificent yield to
the acre, all esculent vegetables, in
favorable locations, riee, are produc
er! all over this region. While no
portion of Virginia can surpass it in
the growth of tobacco, it at the same
time yields an abundance of the
choicest varieties of melons, grapes,
figs, and all manner of fruits, the cli
mate and soil being particularly
adapted to the growth of the grape.
The whole region round about a
bounds in minerals, the iron ore be
ing exhaustless. We are now in dai
ly direct railroad communication, via
the Cherokee Railroad, with Rock
mart, where are located the celebrat
ed slate quarries which have enlisted
so much attention, and are said to be,
on many accounts, the best on the
continent. And by the same connec
tion, in easy reach of the vast coal
fields of Alabama and the famous
forests of yellow pine, surpassing, in
excellence, the lumber fields of North
Carolina or Florida. The Western &
Atlantic Railroad runs North and
South through the centre of the city,
commanding the great commerce of
the West, and of the South. Anoth
er road is naw being projected from
Cartersville to Duck town, for which
a charter already exists, there con
necting us, in that direction, with the
copper mine region, and thence with
the East Tennessee and Georgia Rail
Road and the valleys of East Tennes
see and Virginia. Another road of
future greatness, and which is as cer
tain of construction as you may
please, and for which subscriptions
have already been proposed, running
from Cartersville to Gainesville, at
that point connecting with the Air
Line Rail Road, now completed to
Atlanta, and thus giving us direct
communication with all the cities cf
the North and East, will, before long,
but at what precise time we cannot
now say, but yet certain, be complet
ed.
Now, if you please, take any good
map and lay it down, then take a
string and stretch it from New Or
leans to New York, and you will see
that it passes right through Carters
ville, it is said not to run more than
one mile from our depot. Here then
is an air line, and over this line, Car
tersville is a commanding central
point lor all this vast agricultural,
mineral and manufacturing region.
Within herself, and about her, at her
very door, she holds resources that
no other town in Georgia at this day
Courier-Journal was well made, and
Ihe near future will prove that it was
founded on the best observation and
the plainest, simplest truths. We
may not live to see it, but not a doubt
cau exist that right here, at Carters
ville, there will be, in time, a large,
flourishing, rich and powerful city.
Let capital, then, come, and come at
once, here is the place for investment,
and he who takes time by the fore
lock, will not repent that he cast his
lot and fortunes among us.
HIGH-LOW JACK AND THE
GAME!
VIVK BAGATELLE.
The Senate of the State of Georgia
has passed a Bill which is sent to the
House, authorizing the playing of
cards in drinking saloons and public
places, with an exception as to mi
nors. And the only reason for so do
ing, assgned by a grave membewof
that dignified body, is that the Ger
man population love to drink lager
beer, and between glasses to amuse
themselves with games of cards. And
so, to please this portion of the popu
lation, the safeguards of morality are
to be broken down, and the good or
der of society imperilled. We do
hope that when the bill reaches the
House, the representatives of the good
people of Georgia will show more re
gard for the youth of the land and
the public good, and less love for la
ger beer and drunken Germans and
the enticing games of euchre and old
sledge, than the kind hearted gen
tleman of the Senate, by killing the
bill.
JAMES GARDNER.
This gentleman has been presented
as the successor of Geu. Wright in
the Congress' of the United States
from the Eighth District. No one,
in our judgment, could be more prop
er or would more successfully dis
charge the duties of the position. An
old classmate of ours in College, he
was there regarded as a youth of re
markable qualities, and the future of
his life has fulfilled the promise of
his early years. Long known as one
of the prominent leaders of the Dem
ocratic party in his district, his suc
cessful career as one of the ablest ed
itors of the State has given him a na
tional reputation. The Constitution
alist ia the record of his zeal and abil
ity, and we would hail his election
as one promising good to his State,
and honorable to his district.
Important to Planters.— ln
making arrangments for cultivating
their crops for the present year, plan
ters will do well to notice the adver
tisement of Mark W. Johnson, of At
lanta, whose large stock of the best
commercial fertilizers will be sold on
favorable terms. His supply of pro
vision, and seeds will enable him to
accommodate his customers with nil
they require in making a crop, with
out the trouble of dealing with other
parties. The established reputation
of Mr. Johnson, for fair dealing and
Accommodation, needs no indorse
ment to those who have had business
with him; and all articles sold by
him may be relied on as exactly what
they are represented.— Cor. Enter

We call attention to the subjoined
letter ©f Hon. John W. Wofford in
reply to Dr. Seale in relation to the
contemplated subscription of stock by
the people of Cartersville to the Duck
Town and Gainesville Railroad-. It
is a clear and judicious statement of
the whole matter, and will doubtless
meet the approval of a large majori
ty of our citizens. From various in
terviews which we have held with
many of the people we have no doubt
but that public opinion is in favor of
a liberal subscription to the Gaines
ville Road, while the Road to Duck
Town, although of great importance,
cannot at this time receive their fa
vors. We would l>e glad to see both
roads completed and in running or
der at an early day, but present indi
cations are that the people are in fa
vor of simply casting their vote in
favor of the Gainesville route, leaving
the other to future consideration at
no distant day.
By the way. the proposition sub
mitted by the citizens’ meeting to the
City Council had respect only to a
subscription to the Gainesville Road,
whereas the Council has thought
proper to submit a vote on both roads
to the people. This will produce
and lias already created some confu
sion in the public mind, which may
possibly result in the defeat of both
projects for the present, and we there
fore suggest that another meeting of
the citizens be held to determine the
matter and advise the Council of
their wishes in the premises. This
meeting if held at all ought to be
called for this week:
Atlanta, Ga., Jan. 17, 1873.
Dr. it. A. Seale:
Dear Sir —Yours of the loth,
which you say was written at the
joint instance of yourself and others,
asking me to give my views on the
question submitted by the City Coun
cil of Cartersville, as to the amount,
if any, the people of the city ought to
vote to the Road to Gainesville and
the Road to Duck Town, has been re
ceived. I am under obligations to
you and the others for the compli
ment the request implies. lain on
ly one of the many people of Carters
ville, but in a matter involving so
much, it is the duty of every citizen
to give free expression to his opin
ions. I understand the question sub
mitted by the Council to be $75,000 to
the Duck Town Road, and $75,000 to
the Gainesville Road. As I had oc
casion to state in the citizens’ meet
ing, I regard the Gainesville exten
sion as a matter of the first impor
tance to the people of Cartersville.
By this link from Cartersville to
Gainesville we get the benefit of the
Air-Line & Richmond Iload, that
has been projected and nearly com
pleted at an expense of many millions
of dollars to get a direct communica
tion with that great centre of trade,
New Y T ork City. Atlanta thought
this route of enough importance to
invest $300,000 in it. When the Road
from Cartersville to Gainesville is
completed we will be only 10 miles
further, by rail, from New York
than Atlanta. We will be 6 hours
nearer than now for passengers in
point of time, and 24 hours nearer
than now' for freight in point of time.
We pay for freights received at Car
tersville annually about $90,000. At
least $40,000 of this amount goes into
the coffers of the Western & Atlantic
lWiv<vv<.V a m/, l.? jiivy- t/iV- VfHftt
I New York is paid to this last named
I road for transportation over less than
jSO miles of rail. As matters now
| stand, a cargo of goods shipped from
: New York to Carters Ville pays at
; least one-third more than the same
cargo shipped from New' York to At
lanta. There is no just reason for
this, and when the Road to Gaines
ville and thence on to the east is com
pleted, it will not exist. As the ap
proaches and outlets are increased
the competition is increased, and
competition will reduce tariffs. My
! convictions are that the completion
of the Air-Line Itoad as now being
constructed, and the building of the
link from Cartersville to Gainesville,
to intersect with the Air-Line, will
save to our people $40,000 annually.
This would seem large if we did not
consider the enormous sum we now
pay for transportation alone. And in
the estimate above of money paid for
freights received there is no estimate
made on freights shipped. Rome
pays a fraction more for cotton than
our buyers can afford, because they
can ship to New York for less. This
is an important item to our farmers.
A dollar saved is a dollar made. Be
sides, it would increase our trade by
bringing many bales to our market
that now find their way where there
is more direct and cheaper communi
cation with the commercial mart of
this country. Besides, the building
of the Road to Gainesville would, if
nothing else did, necessitate the com
pletion of the line from Cartersville
to Prior’s Station, on the Selma,
Rome & Dalton Road, and this would
in a large measure complete our out
lets east and west, north and south.
Ours will then be a very important
point on a fast trunk line from east
to west. When that is so, in place of
bringing our coal from beyond Knox
ville, 150 miles, the freight being ov
er S3O per car load, we will get it
from the mines in Alabama, distance
of some 60 miles, with freights in
proportion. No place ever arose to
any degree of manufacturing impor
tance without cheap fuel. Coal is
soon to be the only fuel of general
use in this country. It costs about
the same to mine everywhere; the
freight is the grand item of cost.
Some people say trunk lines are of no
benefit to way stations; that every
thing runs through. Every impor
tant road in America is a trunk line,
and there is not one of them that is
not dotted with cities from one end
to the other. Branch roads are worth
nothing except as local developers
and feeders to trunk lines.
I will now merely add, in a word,
that I think the proposed Road to
Duck Town an important one, but
not of the value to Cartersville that
the Gainesville Road will be. It
will bring the trade of the section
through w r hich it will run to our
merchants, blit can be of no aid in
the matter of freights. Even if it
were finished, as proposed, to Duck
Town, it could not be, no road can
be, of any service in reducing tariffs
when the gauges are not the same
through the whole line. Make the
Duck Town Road, as proposed, a
narrow-gauge to the latter point, the
remainder of the distance to Cincin
nati or elsewhere will be wide-gauge,
and that would involve a transfer of
freights, as soon as Duck Town is
reached, on the way to us, and a con
sequent increase of tariffs. That road
never can therefore be used as a
through line, will be of no service to
us except the trade it will bring our
people. The character of the trade is
now as well know’n as it will ever be.
I think the road ought to be built,
and as soon as we are able I hope to
see it done. Ido not think our peo
ple able at this time to take upon
their shoulders the burden of a $150,-
000 debt. A tax of one-hfllf of one
per cent., the tax imposed for 1872,
ouly raised about $3,500. Issue $150,-
000 in 7 per cent, bonds to the roads
under consideration, and it will ne-
cessitate the payment by our people j
of $10,500 annually for interest alone.
I do not suppose the City Govern
ment can be administered for loss
than the one-half of the one per cent,
taxation. Therefore we may add the
$lO,-500 for interest, and the $3,500 for
current expenses, together making
$14,000 to be paid annually by our
people in the shape of taxes’ To get
this amount of money in that way, 2
per cent, taxes will have to be ‘im
posed in place of one-half of one per
c(ent. The man who now pays $5 on
the SIOOO will then have to pay S2O on
the SIOOO, and so on. No great en
terprise was ever built up at once.
They have all commenced in a small
way. 1 A>t’s take it as we can hold it;
let’s do one thing at a time; if the
first prospers let’s underfake a second.
Our people had quite a full meeting,
recommended a subscription to the
Gainesville Hoad; and 1 am satisfied
the people of Cartersville endorse the
action of that meeting and wish it
carried out. We ought to vote the
$75,000 in City Bonds at 7 percent, to
the Gainesville Road. The Duck
Town Road ought to rest until we
are able to take hold of it. Mean
time, the people on the proposed line
of that road ought to show a willing
ness to help. Cartersville ought not
to be expected to build all that road ;
no, not even to Fairmount. By a ju
dicious use of our credit we can be of
great service to both these enterprises.
By going headlong we will not bene
fit either, The interests of Carters
ville should be properly guarded in
taking the stock. The conditions
ought to be, to pay by delivery of
bonds as the work progresses, so as to
make the last installment due duly
when the work is done. This caution
is necessary for our protection; at tho
same time there should not be condi
tions that will merely act as clogs,
and be a nulity so far as any benefit
is concerned. I have confidence in
our City Council, and believe when
the people vote the subscription to
the Gainesville Road, as I am certain
they will by a large majority, it will
be made in good faith by those en
trusted with our interests, and wisely
done. I have written more than I
intended. I will merely add: I have
no interest in either enterprise, more
than the general interest every citi
zen ought to have in the common
weal.
I am yours truly,
John W. Wofford.
OUR GRAVE YARDS.
Editors Standard ct- Express:
It will be remembered that in the
year 1869, a subscription was present
ed to the citizens of Cartersville, for
the clearing off and fencing the Bap
tist and Methodist’grave yards. For
ty-six dollars were paid at the time
of subscribing, but owing to the strin
gency of money matters, it was
thought best not to press the collec
tion of the entire subscription. The
above amount being turned over to
me, I loaned it out, so that it might
increase in amount. Some time after
this, brother J. 11. Gilreath came to
me and asked that the subscription
be collected, and the Baptist grave
yard fenced, as it was near his resi
dence. I thought he would be the
best man to collect tho subscription,
so I handed it to him for collection.
Very soon I collected the amount
loaned so as to have it ready to pay
on the work when done. A few days
since I asked brother Gilreath about
the subscription, and he informed
me that lie thought he had lost it,
but would look for it . I have a copy
of the subscription, but as money is
so very scarce now, it is best to let
the matter lie over till next harvest,
or next fall, when, if I remain in
O'lvliurfwUft V.Jyill.
work the amount collected will pay
for. Brother J. J. Howard once in
formed me that there was another
small sum of money to appropriate
to the Baptist grave yard when nec
essary. I have put the amount in
my hands on interest again, and
hope the other sum may also he put
on interest till needed, if not now on
interest, as this will add a little to
the funds.
After this subscription was present
ed, the town Council took charge of
the grave yard question, and bought
grounds adjoining the Methodist
grave yard, and laid out a regular
Cemetery. This being done, it only
left the Baptist to be fenced, so only
one-half of the subscription was de
manded that remained yet unpaid.
Cartersville now being a City, and
the authorities making such efforts
to make all public matters put on a
City appearance, it is hoped that
soon no City can boast of a more
beautiful Cemetery than Carters vi lie,
as the cite cannot be excelled.
I make the foregoing statement, as
some persons have asked about;the
matter.

THE GEORGIA MILITARY IN
STITUTE.
A bill has been prepared by care
ful hands and wise heads for the con
sideration of the present Legislature,
for the purpose of re-establishing the
Georgia Military Institute, at Mari
etta. The bill is backed by the most i
powerful men of all sections of the
State, and will, no doubt, become a
law very speedily. It is liberal in its
scope, respectable in its terms, and if
carried will put the Georgia Military
Insitute in the same proud position
she held before the war. It will have
our hearty support. There is no edu
cation so desirable for boys, or so ad
mirable in its results, as a Military
education.
