EDITORIAL It AM BLEU. • It is thought hy some that the census of 1880 will exceed that of 1870 hy 0,000,000 population. Some of the McDuffie Journals correspondents are almost equnl to “Bill Arp.” Gen. Gartrell is gaining ground as a candidate for Governor every day.--Appeal. In Burmah, King Theebaw has had burned 700 men, women, chil dren, priest and 1‘oreigners as sac rifices for his health, lie is said to be affected with leprosy. Decatur, Ala., has developed a grave sensation in which a young lady speaks out from her dark sep ulcher and foihids the removing of tufts of grass from her grave. Tho B.'llton North Georgian in their list issue hoisted the name of Lucius J. Gartrell as a candidate for Governor of Georgia, subject to tho action of the Democratic Convention. The Republican Convention, which met in Atlanta last week was lull of nothing, more nor less, than very shameful and disgrace ful proceedings. There was no unanimity to be had. sion of all that an Acudemy must be built. Town Authorities. Our editorial soilie weeks since has awakened some interest on this particular subject, and we are glad to see it either pj*o or con. Some are of the opinion that au election can't be lmd only in January, and others are of the opinion that an election can he held at any time. We have not examined the charter hut with many others, are of the believe that an election held at any time, at the right place ami hy the proper persons will he recognized by law iis a legal election. No one can conjecture any plausible reason why we should not have Town Authorities—none whatever. Won’t some one make an investi gation in this matter and if legal cause an election to be held pro bo no publico ? 811’S YOU CU1CI!!

By our silence on these two im portant, quest ions, both to our coun ty and town, we do not wish to be construed as liavrng become tired ol our labors in this direction. Not hy any means have we. But only feel the deeper interested in them and the greater importance of their being accomplished. The reason why we have been lagging in tlieig is that our space is limited and it has been taken up by something else, not more important but at the time more essential. In future is sues of the Advance wc intend to give more on this subject and trust that the citizens of the county gen eral will feel that interest in it which should be felt in the com pletion of any enterprise. When we invest many it should he lor the benefit of the country at large, ■ and not merely for any one particu lar place or community—for the public good. In building an Acad emy at this place not only would Canton be built up and bene fited but the whole county at large. Then let us make solid investments in this way. It will bring belli wealth and population to the coun ty and this is what gives value to any place. Let us build up our county—our home. Every dollar kept at home is just so much wealth retained. On the other hand, ev ery dollar sent awav fiom home, is just so much gone from us. Then think of this from a business and financial stand point, and wo are satisfied that it will be the eonelu- -NEW FIRM NEW ^TORE- aw ' ( 11 (HA. k. n. Holland. j. n. Hardin. CHEROKEE'S GOLD PROS PECTS. Mr, N. A. Haven, writing to the Editor of the Mining Record, says of our county: Increased interest is being felt in the gold mining districts of Georgia, especially so in that part of the belt passing through the county of Cherokee. In this particular section, the veins arc larger and better d fined than at the extreme ends of the leads, it being in the central portion of the of the belt; in every stream and on ever hill on the belt for twenty- five sidles, gold can he found. The mines ot note that have been test ed and worked, commence on the northeast with tho Franklin,Strick land. Oliver, Pasco, Clioynogowah or Worley, Clarkston, Cherokee and the Glade. The Franklin, Strickland and Pasco, are famous for the amount of yield, when mining was in its zenith, twenty .five or thirty years ago; at that time, work was done very superficially, large fortunes wen made from them on work none, not exceeding one hundred feet in depth,Its soon as water level was attained work ceased, an ! these mines have been Ml* ever s.nce; now that improved machinery has been invented and mining has be come a science, there is no reason why enormous results eftnnot be ha I. The Cheynogowali, mine, twelve miles southeast of Strick land, discovered a year since, and on which there is a five stamp mill, promises to lie one of the richest discoveries yet made ; large and continuous veins have been opened and are paying handsome divi dends; besides the veins, the hill sides are permeated with the pre cious metal; in one place an area of two acres, four to six foot deep, has pay dirt anil ore worth three to six dollars a ton. It has been tested by mill pro cess, which verifies these figury*. What is needed on this property is a large mill, hydraulic washing and pumping engines, etc. With these appliances, there is no doubt but that Dr. Little’s (State Geolo gist of Georgia) figures- could be easily attained, lie says, in his report, that with a ten-stamp mill and other needful machinery, a yield of §75.000 per annum, can be attained. His opinion is valued as tho best authority on mining, of any man south of the Potomac. Tho mining region herein describ ed, is of easy access. A narrow guago railroad from Marietta,Geor gia, to Gant n, the capital town of Cherokee, connects with the great Kennesuw route to Chattanooga an I the west, and at Dalton via Fast Tennessee, and to New York; and from Marietta to Atlanta, twen ty miles distant, the capital of the State. Three hours ride from At lanta will carry you to the mining district. What is needed, is the infusion of such spirit and enter prise as is manifest in the western states, with capital to hack it, to make the Georgia gold mines fa mous and to yield tar more hand some dividends than has yet been obtained iu the far-off region. Here we are in a high, healthy region, abounding in timber, abundance of provisions, cheap labor, and in sight of t.ie railroad. * We advise those seeking investments to give this region their careful attention. fi B Holland i Co., (McAfee’s old stand.)
