m\ T !MR!> AND EXPRESS S. H. SMITH % CO., PROPRIETORS. St BS« RII'TION : TWO DOLLARS PER ANNUM cletersville, ga. ,* THURSTOCy, SEPT. 1872 W. C. Travis, Atlanta, is author ized to receive and receipt for sub scriptions to the Standard <k Ex press, and contract for Advertising, The anniversary celebration of the Few Literary Society, Emory Col lege, will take place at their new Hall on Monday 29th of Sept., Mr. W. M. ( row, of Texas, orator for the occa sion. We regret that it is out of our power to be present in answer to the invitation of the Committee. The cotton crop in this part of Georgia is a failure, and under no circumstances is it possible that two thirds of a crop can be made, while, in our judgment, it is the better opin ion that only one-half a crop will be realized. We say this from many conversations which we have had with experienced sagacious farmers from various parts of the county, and from the observations which we have made while passing through differ ent portions of it. The crop is short, far too short for the necessities of our people. What with existing obliga tions, current expenses for farming operations, expenses for families, and the unfortunate and onerons hills for fertilizers which most, if not all, of them will have to meet, the prospect is by no means very cheering. The same report comes from all the South; so that in all probability, although the acreage is heavier than last year, the crop will be shorter. Let our farmers hold on to their cotton for the present at least, and not suffer themselves to be alarmed at the pres ent difficulties in Wall Street, New York. Money sufficient to move the crop will always he on hand, and whenever it shall appear, as it will very soon, that the large calculations on the present crop are not to he re lied on, hut that on the contrary the crop will fall under that of last year, the price will go up, and the money will he forthcoming to pay for it. We call the attention of our read ers, particularly those who are spe cially interested in building a rail road from this place to Fairmount, and thence onward up the country, to the article published below, from the Chicago Railway Jteview. We do not see why a road of simi lar character to the one in the article published, might not answer the pur poses of our people for a while, until they might he able to construct it of more substantial and durable materi als. According to the statement made in this publication, subscrip tions enough have already been made to build the road from Cartersville to Fairmount. and in a very short time the road eoukl he constructed and in full operation. The subject is worthy of consideration, and if feasible, we hope the project will he undertaken. A WOODEN RAILWAY. The Clarendon (8. C.) Press con tains an account of the wooden road lately built, which brings Manning Court House in communication with the world. The road is miles long. 'J lie whole structure is similar to other roads, except in place of iron it has wooden stringers, 4x5 inches, fastened to the ties by long iron spikes, passing through both stringer and ties. Tne stringers are live inches face, and the wheels are five inches face, the friction being distributed over wide surfaces. 'l'he flanges are 24 inches deep, to prevent running off. A portion of the road lias been in operation five months, and the stringers are smooth. The rolling stock is common, but quite effectual. The engine, worth only 81,800, carries 8 cars, loaded, 15 miles per hour. The road is regard ed as a success, and answers al l pur poses. It has cost 81,209 per mile. By the road 50,000 pounds can he sent twice a day. —Chicago Railway Re riew. [For the Standard & Express.] WHISKEY! Editors Standard and Express: Does any one ever think of the enormous sums of money the Amer ican people spend for whiskey, not considering the evil it produces? I use the word Whiskey in the generic sense, to designate all kinds of alco holic drinks. The census of 1870, makes some startling disclosures.—- Whiskey sold by retail in the United States for 1870, brought to the retail lei’s and took from the pockets of the consumers §616,020,579. These fig ures show sales of domestic liquors alone. The val ue of imported liquors added to the domestic liquors, makes 81,864,523,688!!! The same year there was sold in the United States $123,- 000,000 of fermented liquors. The imported wines for the same period *vere Os the value of $15,676,635. Wine made in the United States is of .greater value than the wine import oil, hut say it Is not, and add the do mestic and imported wine together, and we have 831,353,270. Now 7 add the whiskey, foreign and domestic, together, the fermented liquors and <*vines, and we have a grand total of $1,058,686,958. Just think how much strong drink the American people guzzle in one .short twelve months tor no earthly good, am) out of which nothing hut evil can come. By the census of 1870 we ieam Ui&t the total value of meal and flour in the United States was $524,000,000; cotton goods 8115,000,000; boots and shoes $90,000,000; clothing $70,000,- 000; woolen goods $69,000^000; hooks, newspapers and job printing #42,000,- 000, total $910,000,000. Thus we have the appalling fact, that the cost of li quors to the drinkers of the United States is 1,118,880,958 more than the va’ueofall the Hour, meal, cotton goods, boo's and shoes, clothing, woolen gocus, hooks, newspapers and all the other publications in the coun try put together!!! The cost of this liquor is a little over ssl to each man. woman and child in the United fStates. Suppose each man, woman and child in the United States was taxed 851 annually for schools, churches, or public improvements? What a heilabelew it would raise! Some of us with large families would have to go into Bankruptcy! These figures are startling to thinking peo ple, and the more so because they are official. I intend to pursue this subject. This will do now. J. W. W. *¥Vmn (Tic T'nlmt Rjtrtiijf- ITeraltl.] KI)I T< )UIAL COR REBPOND ENCE. W IST V 1 K\V, I’.ARTOW cor NT Y, <i A., !?>. September 6th, 4#73. Dear 11eeai.ii: When the late war between the States was inaugu rated, Col. Francis S. Bartow was one of the most distinguished of the then rising young men of Georgia, lie was the son-in-law of the Hon. John McPherson Berrien, who for many years was the compeer in the United States Senate of Calhoun, Clay and Webster, and that long roll of distinguished worthies who illustrated by their statesmanship what may with great propriety be designated as to the golden age of American politics. Col. Bartow was a lawyer anti had already attaint'd eminence in his profession. He had been a leading member of the Gener al Assembly from Chatham county, and, if we are not mistaken, a repre sentative from Georgia in the Con gress of the United States. In poli ties he followed the standard of the grand old Whig party which, under the lead of the gallant Harry of the West, contended so long for the con trol of the American Government. When the war began he was among the first of that gallant host of chiv alric gentlemen who rallied to the field of battle and laid down his life in tiie struggle for Southern inde pendence. He fell on the trium phant field of First Manassas at the head of his regiment, one of the ear liest and noblest sacrifices of the ma ny thousands who freely gave their lives for the “Lost Cause.” His greatful fellow citizens have embalm ed his name in the memory of the succeeding ages by giving it to one of the finest counties in Georgia, thus manifesting their gratitude for his distinguished services and their just appreciation of this great public and private worth. Cass was strick en from the roll of counties and that of Bartow substituted in its stead. And now a hundred rippling, rush ing mountain streams and the beau tiful Etowah river—rich valleys and rugged mountains, smiling with plenty and abounding in exhaust less stores of mineral wealth—towns and villages and neighborhoods, blessed with schools and houses and churches and a prosperous citizen ship, have linked his honored name with immortality and enrolled it with those that shall live forever. Cartersville, on the Western and Atlanta railroad, is the County Site of Bartow. Thirty odd years ago the question of internal improve ments by the State in connection with the building of the Western and Atlanta railroad, to connect At lanta with Chattanooga, and thus furnish the grand trunk over which western supplies were to be trans ported and distributed east, south and west, from Atlanta over Geor gia, South Carolina, Florida, Ala bama, was the fruitful theme of dis cussion and entered largely into Georgia polities. Dr. N. B. Powell, who died at Chunnenuggee in 1862, was at that time Senator from Tal bot county, and chairman of the Sen ate committee on Internal Improve ments. As such chairman he report ed the bill for building that road. It passed the Senate. When it came up for consideration in the House that body was found to be nearly equally divided upon it. The oppo sition to it was strong and determin ed. It was finally carried by the casting vote of one member. That member was Rev, Mr. Carter after wards moved to your State, and was for several years an itinerant preach er in the Alabama Conference. He married tli • sister of Gen. N. i). Guerry, of Russell county, located and settled at Enon. At one time he represented Macon county in the Senate of Alabama, beating Hon. David Clopton, after an excited can vass, for that position, Though con siderably advanced in years lie rais ed a company of first class material and went enthusiastically into the war. But after a service of some months his hale and vigorous consti tution broke down under the hard ships of camp life, and lie was forced to retire. He never recovered his heal tli and lived an invalid until about two years ago when Re died at his home near JJ.urtsville, Russell county, in the bosom of his family and universally respected by ail who knew him. Cartersville bears ids honored name in compliment to him for his vote in the Georgia House of Representatives which se cured the building of the Western and Atlantit railroad, which was ac complished that which its early friends claimed for it, and will con tinue to developefor the State riches far greater than any conceived of in their most enthusiastic hopes. Cartersville is an incorporated city and claims to have thirty five hun dred inhabitants, ft has its Mayor and Aldermen, and a suffidpnt po lice force always on duty. We haye had feequent occasions to visit the city, and have always found it quiet and orderly. We have never seen any disturbance within its limits, and shouldjudge the people of the city and country who meet and min gle there are peaceable and well be haved. We know they are courte ous to the stranger, having passed freely among them rarel yseeingftfi*,- miliar face, and always meeting that polite salutation that unmistakably designates the gentleman. It is steadily increasing in popula tion and growing in substantial im provements. Situated in the njidst of a magnificent farming country, ■ and surrounded by hills and moun tains abounding in valuable miner als of unknown extent, it is destined to attain still larger proportions, and bpan important commercial center for a W*de section of country. Within the fast ten days the pros pect of the cotton crop here has chang ed very greatly for the worse. Dis ease very much like the rust has’ at tacked it, causing it to stop growing and to throw off its fruit. Large quantities of firtilizers are used. These push the plant forward, caus ing it to commence .early on fruit. In this way a pretty fair"crop U se cured before the manifold disasters to which cotton is more or less sub ject, befall it. For this reason, not withstanding the rust has attaked the crop, aiid it has jn consequence been pretty seriously afeted, the planter will realize ivT*thirds of his estimate of two weeks ago. liut > raising as he does his own corn and wheat ane a large portion of his meat, he does not feel so keenly the cut ting off his cotton crop as does the planter in middle Alabama, who “toils and strives” to raise cotton with which to buy everything else. When his single crop fails his condi tion is pitiable indeed. Os all plant ers he of Alabama is the least to be envied. p t “Dar now,” said a darkey, when his big toe was mashed flat by an ax which another had dropped on it, “spose I’d a had on my new shoes.” fFrr»m the Si. Louis Christian Advocate.] A LATELY DISCOVERED PAR ABLE, WITH A SUPPLE MENT. Mr. Editor: I herewith hand you a slip which I shall be pleased if you will give a place in your valua ble paper in the interest of humani ty. lam hopeful that in your lati tude the great evil of snu’ff-dipping is not a tenth as bad as here. I think every lover of his race should feel alarmed at the accumulating evils of tobacco-using in its various forms. M. F. Rosser. Leesburg, Upshur Cos., Tex., Aug., 18. Then shall the kingdom of Satan he likened to a grain of tobacco-seed, which though exceedingly small, be ing cast into the ground grew, and became a great plant, and spread its leaves rank and broad, so that huge and vile worms found a habitation thereon. An it came to pass in the course of time that the sons of men looked upon it, and thought it beauti ful to look upon, and much to he de sired to make lads look big and man ly. So they put forth their hands and did chew thereof. And some it made sick, and others to vomit most filthi ly. And it further came to pass that those who chewed it became weak and unmanly, and said, We are en slaved, and can’t cease from chewing it. And the mouths of all that were enslaved became foul,and they were seized with a violent spitting, and did spit even in ladies’ parlors, and in the house of the Lord of Hosts. And the saints of the Most High were greatly plagued thereby. And in the course of time it came al so to pass that others snuffed it, and they were taken suddenly with fits, and they did sneeze with a great and mighty sneeze, insomuch that their eyes were filled with tears, and they did look exceedingly silly. And yet others cunningly wrought the leaves thereof into rolls, and did set fire to the one end thereof and did suck most vehemently at the other eud thereof, and did look very grave and calf-like, and the smoke of their tor ment ascended up forever and for ever. And the cultivation thereof be came a great and mighty business in the earth, and the merchant men waxed rich by the commerce thereof. And it came to pass that the saints of the Most High defiled themselves therewith; even the poor who could not buy shoes, nor bread, nor books for their little ones spent their mon ey for it. And the Lord was greatly displeased therewith, and said, wherefore this waste, and why do these ones lack bread and shoes and hooks? Turn now your fields into corn and wheat, and put this evil thing far from you, and be separate, and defile not yourselves any more, and I will bless you and cause my face to shine upon you. But with one accord they all ex claimed : “We cannot cease from chewing, snuffing and putting—vve are slaves J SUPPLEMENT. And it came to pass that the wo men of the land began to use it, and and they broke sticks and made lit tle mops thereof, and with tobacco powder they did besmear their mouths. Then was to be seen a sight deplor able. Some it made hypocrites, for they did use it in secret. Some it made bold by its energy, to use it in defiance of decency anil the wishes of their friends ; and they fill did slab ber and spit, and their mouthg did show the sign thereof, with the un sightly dark stain around them, and they uid run their tongues round their lips to clear them, and then they did spit again and their hand kerchiefs were defiled, and often times their clothes. Many grew sal low 7 and husky and tremulous, and said they w 7 ere nervous, and had more trials than anybody, and died before tlte time, and bequeathed im paired constitutions to theß children, and the world was cursed by this fashion exceedingly, and a sigh was raised by the thoughtful of the land, for the hurt of the daughters of the people w r as great. And it was said, what shall be done? Alas! what shall be done? AMERICAN BOYS IN GERMAN SCHOOLS, We copy the following from the New York Observer of August 21st. The character of the Observer is pret ty well known, and by copying the article perhaps a few moreshoddyites may he induced to send their sons abroad, to be educated. The Observ er says i A New York gen clem an with whom we are personally acquainted, who has been several years abroad with his family, sends us his experi ence in regard to German schools. He writes: “Spa, Belgium, July 30, 1873. “Meshkjs. EpiTOps; It gives us much pleasure Here to read in the Observer the remarks about German schools. We lived in Dresden for over six months, and our experience of the schools was the same as your correspondent’s, only matters were \yorse with us than he writes. The school our boys attended was recom mended by the banker. It was one of the largest and most popular in the place. There the German' boys swore and fought, and woe to the boy ivhb would not fight, or who was defi cient in strength. The under mas ters kept sticks, with which the hit the German boys on the head—a thing of daily occurrence. The big boys, ip fheir turn, beat the smaller ones. One small fellow, an Ameri can, lying sick in‘bed, was ptruck by a big German in the face, so "as to make the blood flow. The Princi pal of the school took no notice of it, although he had knowledge of it un til the mother pf the boy was also informed ofit by m,e. The food was insufficient in and very Eoor in quality. It consisted of lack bread, which, hnwhyer, p, com mon in respectable families, tough beef, half-cooked ham, and sausages always. The sleeping rooms were crowded with as many beds as they could contain. In winter there were double sa*heg, and at night the doors of the bedrooms we f e §hut, and the opening over the doors closed. i*o£ir could get in or out, for they never have any fire-places, always stoves. To make things worse some of the boys smoked in bed, while the teach ers were gone to tfie JJieatre. Here the boys panted for breath,' rglled up in something like a feather bed, no sheets or blankets, except they were especially provided for,. Other con ditions of things were simply bar b&roqs, quite destructive to all re a*>nment of good miners, for at the table ho" Sabirs would their ““1 hunks of meat and sausage u„ _ other. In the streets of Dresden wo men are seen yoked together with dogs, hauling loads of coal; young well-looking girls carrying on their backs large trunks and bundles; and other things in the habits of the peo ple must have an unfortunate influ ence on young Americans. The en tire absence of morality in a large part of the people, especially as to swearing and lying, makes it unsafe for boys to be educated in Europe. “A. M. B.” [From the Richmond Dispatch, Sept.. 10.] A MESSAGE FTOM THE SKIES. A MAN IN A BALLOON LOST IN SPACE. Mr. William James Osterbind, a puddler, was returning as usual to his work at the Old Dominion Nail- Works, on Belle Isle, at 3.30 a. m. yesterday. When on Belle Isle av enue, near Meredith’s store, Man chester, he suddenly heard a sound behind him in the air as if some thing falling with a rustling noise, He stopped, looked around, and presently saw something fall to the ground not far from him. Going back to see what it was, he found a thick piece of pasteboard with what seemed to be a piece of tape passed through it and tied to a bunch of five keys. It was too dark in that part of the town to make a careful examination, so he hurried on, wandering what it could mean. At the works he hastily threw open the furnace door, and by the light of glowing coals gave it closer scrutiny. It proved to be a gentleman’s rever sible paper cuff attached to the keys by a narrow ffiack neck-tie, and up on both sides he read the following: “Should this fall into the hands of any one, write to my dear wife, Mrs. J. J. Harte, at Olive street Hotel, St. Louis, Missouri, and tell her of my situation. lam up in my balloon, tossed to and fro at the mercy of the terrible current; have lost control of it, and the Lord only knows what will become of me. I left St. Louis on the 2d, and since eight that even ing have been floating about in space. I am out of food and famished for water. I drop this hoping someone will find it and write to my wife. My name is J. J. Harte, of Boston.” If Mr. Harte has gone up in a bal loon from St. Louis, (and we have not heard it,) and is in the condition described above, he must be having a high old time. He seems to con sider himself unfortunate in having found “the current” so much hoped for by Professor Wise. Instead of going to Europe, will not the Pro fessor direct his serial craft in search of the lost Harte, who, like Sir John Franklin, seems to have sacrificed himself in the interest of science? A WHALE BREAKING AN ELECTRIC CABLE AND GETTING KILLED. On the evening of July 4th, the Indian cable between Kurrachee and Gwadur, a distance of three hun dred miles, suddenly failed. The telegraph steamer, Amber Witch, Capt. Bishop, with the electrical staff, under Mr. Mance, started on the following day to repair the dam age, which, by tests, appeared to be one hundred and eighteen miles from Kurrachee. The Amber Witch arrived on the ground on the 6th, in a heavy sea and thick fog, but the cable was successfully grappled with in a quarter of a mile of the fault. Mr. H. Izaak Walton gives this account of what was found: “On winding in the cable unusual resist ance was experienced, as if it were foul of rocks; hut after perserving for some time the body of an im mense whale, entangled in the ca ble, was brought to the surface, when it was found to be firmly se cured by two and a half turns of the cable immediately above the tail. Sharks and other fish had partially eaten the body, which was rapidly decomposing, the jaws falling away on reaching the surface. The tail, which measured tweive feet across, was perfect, and covered with barna cles at the extremities. Apparently, the whale was at the time of entan glement, using the cable to free it self from parasites, such as barnacles, which annoy them very much, and the cable hanging in a loop over a submarine precipice, he probably with a flip of his tail twisted it around him, and thus came to an un timely eud.” A philosophical Kentuckian who had but one shirt, and was lying in bed while this garment was "drying on the clothes-line in the yard, was startled by the exclamation from his wife to the effect that “the calf had eaten it.” “Well,” said the Kentuck ian with a spirit worthier of a better cause, them who has must lose.” ' ‘ ' Georgia, bautow county.-c. w.
