On Saturday night last, through
some mis-mauagement, the switch leadingjfrom
the State road to the Cherokee road, was left
so as to make connection with the latter road
after the up train passed. When the dow
train came to that point it was thrown off the
track—the engine and tender leaving the track
entirely. Fortunately no material damage
wasdonc. A delay of several trains wasjeaused.

We would again call the attention
ol onr readers to the advertisement of Messrs-
Boole & Hunt, bespeaking for these gentle
mcu the favorable consideration of all who
arc in need of any Machinery included in

Ihey have on hand a large stock of miscella
neous Machinery Patterns, and can promptly
till orders for almost any character of work.
M herever their Machinery has been used it
has given entire satisfaction.
About six or seven weeks ago, Dr,
Couuaughton, a justly celebrated physician
and surgeon, came to (Jartersville and took
rooms at the Ricks Honse. He attracted some
attention lrorn his genteel and cultivated ap
pearance, but it was some days alter his ar
rival before he announced that he had come to
heal the sick. The whole country withiu the
scope of onr circulation were astonished to see
his mammoth advertisements as they appeared
in the columns of the Standard & Express.
There could no longer be a doubt in the minds
of our citizens as to the business of this gen
tleman in our midst. He came as a healing
halm to all the afflicted who might see lit to
employ his skill—a panacea for almost every
chronic ill which life is heir to. There did not
at first seem to be a disposition to partonizc
this “humbug doctor,” as he was generally
termed, until numerous certificates from able,
upright, honest, respectable citizens w-ere pro
duced, which unquestionably established his
ability to cure. In their individual cases he
had treated and removed the most obstinate
chronic complaints which had previously been
unsuccessfully treated by many physicians
who enjoyed reputation for great skill and
ability. These evidences attracted the atten
tion of a good many of our citizens who have
been suffering from various complaints for
many years. A few moments conversation
with the Doctor convinced them that he was
not so much of a humbug after all; in fact, he
so promptly and perfectly diagnosed their
cases—telling each symptom with such truth
and distinctness—that they were positively
impressed with the belief that he was not in
the least practicing liumbuggery, placed them
selves under his treatment. There is not one
of them to-day who is not load in his praises
of Dr. Counaughton. They are every one.
much improved, and all hopeful of a final cure,
i he favorable impression upon the minds of
these patients was the means of adding a long
list of new ones, and now the Doctor’s rooms
are constantly entertaining numbers of visitors,
a il seeking after relief from pains aud sulfer
mg long endured. We feel convinced of the
Doctor's superior skill, and have placed our
8-if under his treatment, and already discover
mdieations of improvemeut. We learn that,
a mong a large number undergoing a course of
at his hands, are Dr. Kirkpatrick,
-%• Millican, Rev. T. E. Smith, Mr. J, R.
Dault and Capt. T. J. Lyon—prominent and
mspected citizens. This evinces a feeling of
c °nfldence in the Doctor’s method of treat
laeut, and we have no doubt but each and ev
ei 7 one of them will have reason lor rejoicing
the good fortune which sent Dr. Conuaugk
'm into our midst, and so near that his skill
15 made available in relieving them of pain
aa d trouble.

P r esume, about a couple of weeks; but he
‘eaves directions at the Ricks House for pa
ll'~ut6 who may desire to consult him during
“Is absence.
herever the Doctor may go, aud however
Ull g he may remain, and however many poor
unfortunates who may place themselves under
his care, they have our assurance that he is not
practicing humbuggery, and that he is really
a very skillful physician, and is more likely
to furnish them relief than any doctor we have
e\ei known. This is our honest conviction,
and we express it without intending In the
least to detract from any other physician.
But his opportunities have been far
better than most other doctors. In the first
place he has studied iu Berlin, Paris, and other
cities, famous for their great surgeons, and
has, for many years, made a specialty of chron
ic practice. In fact, there is no doubt but he
treats in six months, more cases of this kind
than other physicians of ordinary practice do in
a lifo time. In this world of opportunity,then,
why should he not have acquired very great
skill ? Otherwise he must have been a block
head, and all who have seen and conversed
with him, will unite with us in saying that he
has a full measure of brains. But see Dr.
Connaughton, yourself, if you don’t believe
what we have said about him.
At a meeting of the Cartersville
Library Association, held on Friday afternoon
in their room, in rear of the Bank, the follow
ing officers were elected for the en-suing quar
ter: Col. J. J. Howard, President; Captain D.
W. K. Peacock, Vice President, li. C. Tumliu,
Secretary, J. L. Moon, Librarian, J. W. Harris,
Jr., Tieasurer. A committee, consisting of
three ladies and two gcntlcmeu, was appoint
ed to solicit donations and loans of books.
Ibis committee, we hope, will be favorably re
ceived by our people, and such loans and do
nations made as will enable ns to make a good
showing on our shelves. TVe already have
something over one hundred volumes and
some money in the treasury. A desire, which
was unanimous, was expressed, that Apple
ton’s famous Encyclopaedia should be placed
in the Library, and the Business Committee
were instructed to purchase it. This will be a
valuable addition, as it is a library within it
self. Other good books will be added as fast
as funds accumulate.
We trust the Association may be considered
one of the established institutions of our city.
The expense of conducting it amounts simply
to nothing—the Bank Directory,having kindly
placed their beautiful back room at the free
disposal of the Association —and all the money
paid in will be appropriated to the main ob
ject of the organization, the accumulation of a
useful and valuable library.
The cost of membership is trifling, even for
the hard times—the initiation fee being but
three dollars, payable, if it suits the member,
in books at a fair valuation, to be assessed by
the librarian—and twenty-five cents dues, per
month. There are now, we think, about thir
ty or thirty-five members, bnt there’s room for
more.
Such books as may be loaned to the Asso
ciation will be well cared for, and returned to
the owner in the same condition as when re
ceived. There is hardly a family in the city,
we presume, that cannot 6pare at least one
book, and it would be a good thing to accu
mulate those books at one place that readers
may be enabled to have the use of them. Bear
a hand, good people, and help us.

An effort is made to create a sensa
tion, by some wide-mouthed men of the rule
or ruin stripe, relative to “sticking to rates of
advertising.” The cause of this new outbreak
is a proposition made by Sheffield & Stone of
St. Louis, to advertise one inch in some South
ern paper for $1,50 for one year. The way we
have treated Shepherd, the manager of this
concern, is simply to send his proposition
back, accompanied by a card with our prices,
with instructions that, if he cannot Aend us
work at these prices, cash in advance , to stop
all further correspondence. The consequence
is that we have had but one letter of Mr.
Sheffield’s to answer. The reason we have
spoken of this matter is that some troublous
spirits who think they can “run” all the pa
pers in Georgia,have taken occasion,in connec
tion with it, to hurl a blast at the patent-out
siders. The parties with whom we contract
to furnish us our outsides, reserve a certain
space on the fourth page in which to insert
advertisements, at such prices as may suit
them, and the statement that so much money
has been lost to the press of Georgia by this
mode wont hold water. In almost all instances
those advertisements are of a class that come
to us through 6uch thieving concerns as Pet
tingill and Rowell, and are inserted in the
columns contracted by them—they taking them
at just such prices as Sheffield proposes. Now to
us,it is as broad as it is long. The patent out side
plan is no longer an experiment. Nearly one
fifth of the papers iu the Untied States are
printed on that plan, and the number is fast
increasing. It is true there is a great contrast
n the appearance of the two sides, in some of
hem ; but really there are some papers publish
ed in Georgia (not speaking to the
nature of the matter) which could be greatly
improved if both their sides were printed in a
co-operative office. We have been operating
on the outside plan for over a year, and neith
we nor our subscribers think any improvement
could be made by abandoning it. We reiter
ate our sentiments on the subject—none but an
ass would attempt to dictate to another pub
lisher how he should manage his own concerns,

MONEY MADE EASY.
The Indebtedimsg of the Country to l>e
Bonded.
There is a very large home indebtedness,
which is bearing heavily upon the people,
from the fact that there is a failure to pay, not
only the original sum or principal, but even
the interest. This large amount put in action,
at from seven to twelve per cent, per annum
wonld greatly relieve the country, together
with other means of production. I have a
plan which I wish to present, upon which to
bring about this action, originating in my own
individual case.
The plan is this: Let every man settle up all
his old business to date, and give note or notes,
at such a rate of interest as will satisfy the
■creditor, from seven to twelve, say, to be paid
monthly, or first July and January each year,
aecordiug to the income of the debtor, which is
to be understood as a guarantee that the cred
itor is not to briug snit, so long as the interest
is promptly paid. The note to be drawn about
after this style: Twelve months after date I
promise to pay A. 8., or bearer, One Hundred
Dollars, for value received, with Interest from
date, at the rate of ten per cent, per annum,
interest payable on first of each month, or first
July and January until paid. Foreign debts
can be arranged in the same way, by borrow
ing money from capitalists aud giving as low
rates as possible lor the money. Where all
old matters are arranged, so as no press can
come for large amounts, you may begin to feel
a little hope. Do not go in debt another cent,
and keep the interest promptly paid up, to
gether with as much of the principal as possi
ble, and the further you go the more happy
you will feci, until you have got through with
the whole matter. Then never go in debt
again, and you will be safe. Any man that
cannot pay the interest on his old debts, and
make enough to live on, cannot hope ever to
get out of debt, and the sooner he and the
public know it the better for all. This plan
established and men be punctual to pay inter
est at time specified iu the face of the note,
plenty of men would be found to take these
notes and pay the cash for them, as an invest
ment. In buying and selling lands, horses,
cows, corn, wheat, etc., these notes would be
come as current as money. The notes draw
interest, but money does not. Suppose the
rate of interest to be put at ten per cent, then
it will beat the Georgia eight per cent, bonds,
that men are so anxious to hold. The notes
of mechanics, who get their pay weekly or
monthly, will pay their interest monthly, and
make their notes very desirable to monied men.
When a man arranges his indebtedness in this
form, it is before him all the time, and makes
him be careful and auxious to get out of debt,
in order to be free. If it takes five years, bet
ter late than never. In the meantime let no
man go in debt unless iu case of absolute dis
tress, for something to eat, for a short time,
not more than a week. Sell something, barter
something, or work for provisions. I was in
volved very much and likely to suffer great loss,
but, finding a friend, I obtained money and
settled up the pressing claim, though I had
this to do at two per cent, a month. Though
this is heavy, it jvas a relief to me. I have
kept the interest paid up monthly, have paid
many small debts, and have not gone in debt
one cent. I feel great relief from this plan,
and it has impressed itself so much upon my
mind that I have thought proper to publish it.
Adopt this plan and you will not buy half so
many goods, the courts will not be half so
long, and there will be no necessity for half so
many lawyers as now. Under this plan trades
will be made for laud with a little money, said
notes, and perhaps some other property,
thereby saving litigation hereafter. You will
find, perhaps, that lawyers will oppose this
plan, as it will do away with about all the civil
litigation. Then do away with the liquor busi
siness, aud there will not be one-tenth as many
criminal cases as at present.
Is there anything impossible in this V We
have usually looked to the North for all new
schemes as well as new goods and patent arti
cles. Remember that some of the most useful
patents originated in the South, aud why not
this plan for enlivening our indebtedness, aud
getting out of debt. Bartow county is one of
the best in the State, and why not have some
new ideas here. I tell you this will work, and
work well, if you will act honestly, and try to
get out of debt. If you have no provisions on
hand, get enough to do you till you can make
a start, and put this in with old matters. Then
rise early and work late, at something profita
ble, asking the Lord for health and strength,
aud in twelve months you will be happier than
for years before.
Hear the people talk and you would think
they were all liars and rascals, nearly, and all
because they have failed to pay one another,
as promised. Keep out of debt, and you will
love one another much better, aud will not
only be regarded more honorable, but will feel
so.
The thing that has ruined Cartersville al
most, has been the credit system. Even these
stock companies did not pay up their stock, so
as to run their w orks for cash, or they started
with too little stock and had to fail. Just give
the hands of a factory orders, and no chance
for money, even at the end of the mouth, and
you may expect to suffer in the labor perform
ed by a lot of angry men, who take no interes
in what they are doing. Every man, woman
city, town, State, and even the United States
cannot live, it appears, without going in debt.
Pray tell me when the good time is coming,
when all these old matters can be paid and
still live as individuals, cities, States or United
States. Stop the whole business, and if we
cannot live, let us die. Send one-half the
members to the Legislature, pay them three
dollars per day or nothing, and then men will
go for the honor, and will be there only a
short time. Never borrow money as a cit)’, or
issue bonds, but crawl uutil you are able to
walk. Do not try to do some big thing for a
show, and cause your children to have it to
pay. What right has this generation to go in
debt for the next to pay? What will our
children think of us, for making a debt that it
is impossible for them to pay, and live the
tenth part as well as we do ? It is inhuman to
treat our children in this manner. Let us
live on what we have and can make, and not
on what we expect our children to pay for us
Let the United States quit issuiug bonds fot
any purpose, but issue currency to pay wha
is compelled to be paid, but stop expenses as
far as possible. One half the officers can do
the business, and at less than present prices, if
Ibe not misinformed. Let protection be put
on, that will build up our interests, and reve
nue collected to pay the national debt as early
as possible. Let all contracts and all money
matters be examined by a committee, one-half
on the opposition side. In fact throw more
restrictions overall matters, and let there be
general curtailment in all things. We are tax
ed almost to death by cities, towns, States and
the United States. Homo.
CIVIL RIGHTS AND A NOVEL CURE
FOR IT.
The Irwinton Southerner tells of
the following civil rights case. Those
who have thought the civil rights
law other than a dead letter, should
be sceptical no longer. Says the
Southerner :
On Thursday morning last
a negro dressed ala mode, pre
sented himself at the door of the pas
senger coach of the up train, at Mil
len,conducted by Mr. Marlow,one of
the best conductors in the State,and
demanded admission. Mr. Marlow
informed him that a splended coach
forward, for persons of color, would
receive him. He demurred, and
said that he had paid first-class fare
and would put up with nothing less
than a seat with the white folks.
Mr. Marlow seeing that the negroe’s
object was to bring a suit under the
civil rights law against the company,
admitted him, and he took his seat.
There were a few ladies and a half
dozen gentlemen in the car when he
entered. In a few minutes the gen
tlemen simultaneously took seats
around the civil righter and com
menced chewing tobacco and spit
ting upon him. He applied to Mr.
Marlow for protection, who inform
ed him that he had as much as he
could do to protect himself. Sullenly
and silently he bore the indignity
until his face, coat, vest, and pants
were discolored by the saliva which
was squirted upon him from the
mouths of his tormentors. Finally
one of them arose, and proceeding
to the water cooler, filled his capa
cious mouth with a half gallon of the
fluid, and marching slowly and sol
emnly in front of the negro, ho, with
the force of a fire engine, squirted it
in the face and bosom of the man
and brother. This was more than he
could bear, and he left for the car
set apart for people ot his color. There
was scarcely a word uttered all the
time, and it was a cool and effective
way to defeat the civil rights bill.
BRINE THAT WILL PRESERVE BUT
TER A YEAR.
Among the devices for keeping
butter in a manner that will preserve
the fresh rosy flavor of new, with
all its sweetness, is the following,
which is said to be entirely success
ful : To three gallons of brine strong
enough to bear an egg, add a quarter
of a pound of nice white sugar and
one tablespoonful of saltpeter. Boil
the brine, and when it is cold strain
carefully. Make your butter into
rolls, and wrap each separately
in a clean white muslin cloth, tying
with a string. Pack a large jar full,
weight the butter down, and pour
over the brine until all is submerged.
This will keep really good butter
perfectly sweet and fresh for a whole
year. Be careful to not put upon ice
butter that you wish to keep for any
length of time. In summer, when
the heat will not admit of butter
being made into rolls, pack closely
in small jars, and, using the same
brine, allow it to cover the butter
to the depth of atleast four inches.
This excludes the air and answers
very nearly as well as the first meth
od suggested.
A recent investigation in New
York shows a general system of
frauds in canned goods. It extends
to every description of fruits, meats,
vegetables and fish. At this exam
ination it was found that, in the case
of clams, the solid contents of a one
pound can weighed 8j ounces [; two
pound cans contained 19J ounces.
Two-pound cans of lobsters showed
24 ounces of solid contents. Cans of
condensed milk turned out 13 ounces
to the pound. The contents of cans
of mushrooms, after having been
drained of water and squeezed dry,
didnot exceed 6£ ounces to the pound.
Corned beef in cans made the
following exhibit: Six-pound
can, 5j pounds of beef; four
pound cans, 3 pounds and 7 ounces of
beef. All this is the result of dishon
est competition. Canned goods are
sold by the can, the price graded
upon the honest weight being put
into the cans.
Another packer puts his goods on
the market at 25 per cent per can less,
and puts that much less fruit or fish
in the can. He, in turn, is undersold
by some other person who puts still
less in cans. In this way,the man who
puts a pound of lobsters in a pound
can, is readily understood by those
who, putting one half a pound lobster
in the can, can sell with increased
profit at two-thirds the standard
price. Any housekeeper can tell
how much he or she is swindled in
can goods by weighing the can be
fore and then weighing it and the
water after the solid contents have
been taken out. Nothing is more
common in the canned goods trade
than to have several brands of the
same article selling at different pri
ces. This difference, in a majority
of the cases, represents the shortage
of fruit or fish and the water in the
lower-priced.
THE GROWTH OF LONDON.
The Leisure Hour, in speaking of
the growth of London, says: “The
metropolis of the British empire,
the largest city the world ever saw
covers, wihin fifteen miles’ radious
of Charing Cross, nearly 700 square
miles, and nubers within the bound
aries 4,000,000 inhabitants. It con
tains more Jews than the whole of
Palisitine, more Homan Catholics
than Home itself, more Irish than
Doublin, more Scotchmen than Ed
inburg. The port of London has
every day on its waters 1,000 ships
and 9,000 sailors. ITpwarps to 1-0
persons are added to the ponlation
daily, or 40,000 yearly, a berth tak
ing place every five minutes, and a
death every eight minutes. On an
average, twenty-eight miles of streets
are opened, and 6,000 new houses
built every year. In its postal dis
tricts there is a yearly delivery of
238,000,000, letters. On the police
Register there are the names of 320,-
000, habitual criminals, increasing
by many thousand every year. More
than one-third of all the crime of the
country is committed in London or
atleast brought to light there. There
are as many beer shops and gin palces
as would, if there fronts were placed
side by side, reach from Charing
Cross to Portsmoth, a distance of
seventy-three miles, and 38,000
drunkards are anually brobght be
fore its magistrates. The shops open
on Sundays would form streets
sixty miles long. It is estimated
that there are above a million of the
people who are practically heathen,
wholly neglecting the ordinances
of religion, at least 900 additional
churches and chapels would be re
quired for the wants of the people.”
Judge King, of the Georgia rail
way, writes to the Chronicle and Sen
tinel that “the Munchausen stories
about the big dividends (on the State
road) from net profits are all bosh.
The last dividend was paid in part
from borrowed money, and the com-
Eany owes upward of a million in
onds, and a part of them secured by
mortgage on the lease.”
