CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY MORNING, JANUARY 30, 1873.
CAPITAL AND CARTERSVILLE
The correspondent of the Louisville
i Courier-Journal in one of his commu
’ ideations makes the statement that
“Cartersvillc is the coming town of
North 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 grains,
all the grasses, cotton of a very supe
rior lihre and of magnificent yield to
the acre, all esculent vegetables, in
favorable .locations, rice, are produc
ed all over this region. While
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- j
bounds in minerals, the iron ore he
ing exhaustless. We are now in dai- i
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
cont inent. 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 funs North and
South through the centre of the city,
commanding the great commerce of
the West, and of the South. Anoth
er road is now being projected from
Cartcrsville to Ducktown, for which
a charter already exists, there con
necting us, in that direction, with the
copper mine region, aud 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 Cartcrsville 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 of
now say, but yet certain, be complet
ed.
Now, if you please, take any good
map and lay it down, then taken
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 for all tills 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
commands. The remark then of the
Courier-Journal was well made, and
the 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
can 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 lie cast ins
lot and fortunes among us.
MAG ISTERTAL ILLUSTRATION
An enthusiastic and much excited
applicant for a warrant against an
other, who had ruthlessly kicked His
seat, came to the Magistrate of the
famous 17th District, the other day,
and, in his intense excitement and
full purpose fully to explain the in
dignity showed him, and for lack of
suitable language, took said Magis
trate by the shoulders, and was in
the act of practically illustrating the
affair, when His Honor demurred
to the proceedings, and proposed to
take His word for it, rather than the
proposed illustration. The warrant
was duly issued, much to the satis
faction of the applicant, and equally
to the relief of the Court.
We suggest that when -tills case
comes up for a hearing, the applicant
be permitted to perform the illustra
tion on the Defendant as a setoff.
Let Austria Bewake. —Now
let the eagle shriek. An America
citizen has been cast into an Austrian
bastile merely for making remarks
uncomplimentary to the majesty of
Francis Joseph. Has it come to this,
that a free and independent dtizen of
our United States can not hurl his
scorn and defiance into the teeth of
the effete monarchies of Europe with
out being crushed beneath the des
pot’s iron heel ? Is the proud flag of
freedom to suffer such a humiliation
without an atonement being wrung
from the base tyrant who dares to
brave the vengeance of Columbia’s
sons? (Never! and applause.) Can
not we, who make Presidents and
call them by what names wo please,
venture to assail despicable usurpers
who trample upon the rights of groan
ing nations without being chained
down in donjon keeps? Shall we
calmly look on while our fellow-citi
zen is borne away to the rack and the
thumb-screw, or shall we rise in our
might and thrust the vile jpsult down
the oppressor’s throat? There is
blood upon the horizon—the e%ie , s
talons are out—a million freemen are
ready to strike for their liberties !
Bet the Austrian tremble in his boots!
—lndianapoUst Sentinel.
In a certain Justice Court of Geor
' gia, jtho following case was tried, and
judgment rendered by His Honor, in
! substance as follows:
A case was pending between If.
and M. for the building of a house:
H. contending that it was to be built
for $35, and M. for -65. So two me
chanics, H. and S., were introduced
j as witnesses to give their evidence as
to the worth of the work. IT. testi
fied to SSO and S. to $35, and the evi
dence closed, when His Honor began
to adjust and argue as follows: “This
matter of difference between these
two parties is a lever S3O long, that
i being the difference between them—
i $65—535 - S3O. This lever is to he ad
justed and balanced; and as the law
requires that expert* in any art, trade
or calling may be introduced as wit
nesses—up comes witness IT., who is
at least a quasi expert, and he strad
dles this lever at SSO, precisely half
way between the parties, 50 being the
medium between 35 ami 65, and he
puts the fulcrum at that point; and if
there were no other evidence, that
would be adjusted as the point. But
then comes witness S., who sits down
with plaintiff H. at $35, which makes
the other end of the lever kick way
up, with M. at SBS and 11. at SSO. So
it won’t do to leave it in that fix, for
it must be balanced. Now, the ful
crum point is somewhere between the
two witnesses, IT. and S., who are
themselves sls apart; and if they
were equal experts in the mechanical
art, and their evidence weighed the
same, then the point would be half
way between them; say, 71 from H.
at point 50, or 71 added to S. at 35
makes 424. But as S. is more of an
expert in the trade than IT., and as he
now lives in the house in dispute, his
evidence naturally weighs more;
hence the point must be placed near
er the heavier end, nearer to S., say
$23 nearer, say to notch 40 instead of
423, and at that point it will balance,
according to the evidence; and with
all hands astride this lever, they may
just tip the ground with their toes,
provided their legs are all the same
length; and may sesaw up and down,
or fly-ginny round and round on a
complete balance, provided none of
them fall off*.
So it is ordered and adjudged that
S4O be the price to be paid by defend
ant. to plaintiff for building the
house.”

between the conductor and a well
dressed young man. As the car was
passing up the avenue, the young
man at the time standing on theplat
forin taking it easy, with one foot on
a trunk, was approached by the con
ductor and his fare demanded. He
quietly passed over his five cents.
Conductor: “I demand t wenty-fi ve
cents for that trunk !”
Young man (hesitatingly.) “Twen
ty-five cents’? Well, I think 1 will not
pay it.”
Conductor: “Then I shall put the
trunk off.”
Young man: “You had better not
or you may be sorry for it.”
Conductor pulls strap, stops car,
dumps trunk on the street, starts ear
and after going some two squares, ap
proaches the young man, who was
still calm as a summer morning, and
in an angry mood says:
“Now 1 have put your trunk off,
what are you going to do about it?”
Young man (coolly)—“ Well, I
dori,t propose to do any thing about
it; it’s no concern of mine; it wasn’t
my trunk.”
The car was stopped,'‘and shortly af
terward the conductor was seen to
come sweating up with the trunk on
his back —a part of the performance he
did not enjoy half so well as the pas
sengers.
Going Down to the Sea in
Ships.”— Dr. Johnson, according to
Boswell, thought more of dry land
than the “mighty ocean.” “J don’t
see,” said the tidy doctor, “how any
man who has contrivance enough to
get into jail ever wants to be a sailor.”
The late Edwin Forrest held like
views on the subject. On a trip to
California he was deathly sea sick,
and yet this did not prevent him from
swearing. A preacher who was on
board, undertook to admonish him
for his profanity, but Forest only
answered to tell him that “his Lord
and Master when on the sea was glad
to get off and walk. The captain of
the vesesl now approached them,
and sought to sooth the old man, ad
ding that he (the captain) took to the
sea from choice and wonldn’t live on
shore. “That’s a lie,” said Forrest; “I
know of one man only who took to
the sea from choice; that was Noah,
because if he had remained on land
he would have been drowned.
The Victims-of African Sla
very.—The Montgomery Advertiser
states the case thus:
The Africans, in their native jun
gles, after three thousand years of
freedom, have not developed enough
intelligence to build a bridge. But
after 100 years amid the horrors (?)
of slavery they have all at once
been found competent to make and
administer laws for the most enlight
ened people on the globe! Now who
will deny that slavery was a terrible
curse to the negro?
The House ou Saturday, by unan
imous consent, ordered the printin

Tn the House to-day Gen. Negly.

up the canal bills and making them
the special order of February 13th,
exclusive of all other business.
Senator Garfield [opposed the mo
tion. General Negly, Judge’Shella
barger, and others, sustained it warm
ly. The motion was adopted by a
vote of 147 ayes, to 30 nays. The
vote is regarded as highly satisfactory
by the friends of these enterprises.

PRESS CONVENTION, ATI.AN.
TA, GA.
RESOLUTIONS.
Colonel Styles moved to appoint a
committee of three on the subject of
county advertisements, which was
carried, and the following appointed
said committee: Col. C. W. Styles,
C. W. Hancock and J. B. Gorman
who, after retiring, made a report
which, with slight amendment, was
received and adopted, as follows:
Resolved, That the practice of solic
iting county advertising from county j
officers, who are at the time under
annual contract or agreement with a
particular paper, is exceeding the
rules of legitimate competition, and
that the offering to do such advertis
ing at reduced rates or to pay a per
centage or bonus to such officer or
officers as inducement to change his
or their official journal, is disreputa
ble and should subject the offender to
expulsion under article VIII of the
Constitution.
Resolved, That the acceptance,
knowingly, of county advertising
without advance payment from a
county officer who is In arrears with
his former publisher, is unjust, un
professional and dishonorable, and
that any member so offending shall
be expelled, published and stricken
from the exchange list of this Associ-
Resotved, That any meinoer wmi
shall accept such advertising, in ig
norance of such officer’s arrears, and
who shall refuse or fail to discontinue
the same, on proof of the fact, by the
publication of such officer as a default
er, shall he subject to like punish
ment.
Resolved, That the rates for legal
advertising agreed upon by this As
sociation, on the 9th of May, 1872,
in section 3of “a bill to he entitled
an act to regulate the mode, manner
and prices of publishing the legal ad
vertisements of the several counties
of this State,” are fair and just, and
that bidding below said rates to obtain
patronage engaged by another paper,
is to all intents and purposes “under
bidding,” and should be classed with
the crime of “ratting.”
By J. J. Toon—A resolution on the
cash system for subscription was of
fered, which, after a lively and inter
esting discussion, was adopted, as
follows:
Resolved, That we nrge with deep
earnestness every publisher of this
Association, and the entire press of
the State, to adhere strictly to the
system of advance payments on all
subscriptions to their papers, and so
advise their patrons from week to
week.
Bill for printing the proceedings of
the Association by the Atlanta Con
stitution was presented and passed for
payment.
By C. YV. Hancock—adopted:
Resolved, That the annual fee from
each member of this Association be
two dollars for the future, instead of
five dollars, as heretofore.
The following resolutions were of
fered by J. B. Christain, and adopted:
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Association are hereby tendered to
Colonels Wm. M. Wadley, President
of the Central Railroad, and John
Screven, President of the Atlantic
and Gulf Railroad, and their able
and efficient Superintendents, Cols.
William Rogers and H. S. Hanes; to
Col. S. K. Jhonson, of the Georgia
Road, and to all other roads, for
their kind courtesies extended to the
members of this Association.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Association are tendered to Col. W.
M. Nicholls, of the Kimball House,
and to Major Frank Warren, his pop
ular and obliging clerk, for their cour
teous and liberal attention extended
to the members of this body.
It was moved by Mr. C. W. Han
cock that all the papers of this Asso
ciation publish these proceedings.
Carried.
By J. B. Gorman—adopted,.
Resolved, That the thanks of this
Association be tendered to President,
Col. Kstill, and Secretary pro tern., J.
R. Christian, for their courtesies to
this body, and faithful discharge of
their duty.
By J. G. M. Medlcck—unanimous
ly adopted;
Resolved , That any member of the
Georgia Press Association who shall
hereafter insert advertisements, or
enter into contract with any adver
tising agency, or any other parties,
to insert advertisements for less than
the minimum rates printed in our
schedule of prices, shall be expelled
from the Association and dropped
from the list of exchanges.
Resolved, That any newspaper in
Georgia, whether*4* member of this
Association or not, violating the fore
going resolution, shall be struck from
tlie mail books of every member of
the Association; and that each mem
ber be requested to publish the above
resolution as often as practicable.
After a liberal discussion of mat
ters'of general interest to the Associ
ation, the Convention adjourned Sine

You have read, my little children,
Standing at your teacher’s knee,
How a great and bad rebellion
Rose along the Southern sea.
You have read of how the nation
Rallied in the right, and how
Our good men led on the armies,
Winning laurels for his brow.
You have read of how the traitors
Fell beneath his might, and you
Too have read of how the conflict
Left this good man much to do;
How the war had left the country
Racked with strifes and vague a

And of how this man to save it,
Took it kindly in his arms.
Naught in this I find for wonder,

ENCORES.
The Boston Saturday Evening Ga
zette has the following sensible re
marks on the habit of encoring songs,
and which apply with special fitness
to the latitude of Cartersville. It
says:
“The abuse of encoring comes in
with the concert season, with all its
wonted vigor. Perhaps it is idle to
remonstrate against it; but we are
moved to say another word of protest,
nevertheless. As practiced in Bos
ton, it is unjust both to performers
and to many in their audiences. We
do not object to hearty demonstra
tions of approval. These indicate a
satisfaction that is stimulating to ar
tist s, and places them in pleasant re
lations with those whom it is their
misejon to entertain. In exception
ai cast sos general and obvious de
light, a repetition may be a graceful
and gracious favor which it is pleas
ant to see conveyed. But this is
widely different from the wholesale
system of demanding repetitions that
is becoming the habit with portions
of fk&ton audiences. They are not
the most numerous portions, but in
the vigor of their youth and persis
tency, they succeed in making a
noise out of proportion to their real
strength, and mus induce artists un
willingly to acquiesce and compel
the balance of audiences to submit.—
Do tinse enthusiastic people realize
that there is a culpable disregard of
good manners in their proceedings ?
We presum not, but their ill-breed
ing is none the less manifest. To
urge upon a singer, who has appear
ed and indicated a wish to lx* excus
ed, the repetition of a difficult per
formance, that if they know any
thing of music they would he aware
has bigen a tax both upwi mental and
physical faculties, is to perpetrate a
boorish act, which is not at all re
deemed by the enforced acquiescence
that may follow it. Then the por
tions of'the audiences not encoring
have rights also, or at least are enti
tled to courtesy. They 4ftme to hear
the programme. It may be tlwrt
some of the last things in it are what
they most desire to hear. They
could hear-it all if the concert was
kept within reasonable limits. In
some instances, being confined to the
cars as a means for reaching their
residences, they are compelled to
leave long before it is completed, and
thus are deprived of what they paid
their money to listen to. In others,
they are so wearied that they leave
the concert room in disgust , at the
unnecessary and unreasonable pro
longation of the programme... We
don’t know how far it is in the pow
er of concert givers to resist this in
creasing unpleasant-custom; hut we
heartily wish there could be a com

STUPENDOUS LIBERALITY.
We learn that a project is on foot
for the general government to u mate
a hundred millions of dollars to the
Southern States to pay off the State
debts and remove the ravages of the
war. The project is said to originate

General Lee’s birthday was celebra
ted with great eclat. It was the first
military parade since the war took
place. The First Georgia Volunteers,
Eighth Battalion, Chatham Artillery,
Battery and Georgia Huzzars parade,
in uniforms. General Wade Hamp
ton delivered an address. The day
was generally observed as a holiday,
and resembled the Fourth of July
before the war.

you will find either air ideot, or one

SOW CLOVER SEED EARLY.
Farmers who contemplate sowing
clover seed on winter wheat should
do so in February, or not later than
early in March. A gallon aud a half
to the acre is about the right quanti
ty to sow, taking pains to distribute
the seed evenly over the ground. To
add 100 pounds of land plaster to the
acre generally pays well for the ex
pense and labor. Where one wants
clover for pasture and hay, it is wise
to sow herds grass seed in‘addition to
that of clover. A half bushel of herds
grass to the acre improves the pasture
very much. All kinds of stock re
quire some variety in their daily food.
Hence grass with clover, and clover
with grass, for a change, are benefit
cial. Now is the time to provide
good pastures for cows giving milk,
youngcgttle, mules and sheep. Young
cattle and sheep sometimes run out;
but as the farm generally loses their
manure, the gain is not so large as
believed. Manure is apt to be the
thing one’s farm most needs; and to
make its condition still worst*, the
owner of the laud turns out into tin*
woods his hogs, sheep and cattle, lest
some of their droppings should defile
the raikod fields on which he raises
corn and oats. The central idea of
good husbandry is to produce and
husband all fertilizing substances on
the fairm to make a strong and fertile
soil.
No other plant has done so touch
to improve land as clover, and eveiy
farmer should cultivate it. The Roy
al Agricultural Society of England
and its chemist have experimented a
good deal to learn the true value of
clover to draw plant food from the
atmosphere and the deep subsoil. It
is in this way that it renovates a de
pleted corn, cotton or wheat field.
But where there is a deficiency of
lime and potash salts in the subsoil,
as well as that nearer the surface,
such salts should be applied to the
land. Hence English farmers use a
world of marl, lime, land plaster, su
perphosphates, guano, and of German
potash salts. All these supply the
mineral so wl of plants—clover, turn
ips and gra drawing organic ele
metiis ironi a- air, and from water.
Tin-long tit,, roots of clover descend
so far into toe ground that they im
bibe and utilise agricultural salts
which escape the roots of grain and
grass. Glover is a renovating power
on the farm which is not half so
much used as it ought to he.—Union

EXPERIENCE TEACIIETIL
Mr. Editor: lam an old man, up
ward of three-score years, during two
score of which 1 have been a tiller of
the soil. 1 cannot say that lam rich
now, but I have been rich, and hayo
now all I need, do not owe a dollar,
have given my children a good edu
cation, and when J am (-ailed away
w» iJ. tiuun LoiAii/r
has taught me that,
1. One acre of land well prepared
and manured and well cultivated,
will produce more than two acres
which receive only the same amount
of manure and labor expended on the
one.
2. One cow, horse, mule, sheep, rr
hog, well fed, is more profitable than
two kept on the amount of food ne<-
essary to keep one well.
3. One acre of clover or grass is
worth more than two acres of cotton
where no grass or clover is raised.
4. No farmer who buys oats, corn,
wheat, potatoes, teas,* fu:filer aim
hay, as a rule for ten years, can keep
the sheriff from his door in the end.
5. The farmer who never reads an
agricultural paper, :.«d sneers at book
farming and improvements, always
has leaky roofs, poor stock, broken
down fences, and complains of “had
seasons.” •
6. The farmer who is above his bu
siness and entrusts it to another to
manage, soon has no business to at
tend to.
7. The fanner whose habitual bev
erage is cold, water, is healthier,
wealthier and wiser than he who
“does not refuse a drink.”
If you think this advice worth a
corner, I may give you some more
dots from my experience.

have known this to be tried with
most extraordinary success. Where
a.trap[baited with all maimer of edi
