WM. BRADFORD, - Editor
The Bloody Charm (japes.
We have been greatly interes'ed in
reading, in a Pennsylvania paper, a
communication from our friend and
neighbor, Mr. M. V. B. Ake, who
is himself a Pennsylvanian, in re
ply to a slanderous attack upon the
Southern people by a reverend liar by
name of Dnf&eld. It seems that this
sanctimonious hypocrite had "been
chosen as orator on the occasion of
the decoration of the grave's of Fed
eral soldiers and took advantage
of the occasion to air "his ignorance
of the condition of the South, his
hatred of onr people and his undis
guised contempt for truth and facts.
Mr. Ake handles the Rev. Doctor
• and shows up his falsehood and in
consistency in a manner that leaves
nothing to be desired in that direc
tion, save that all who lieai d the ad
dress conld read the reply.
As a specimen of the loose state
ments of this highly imaginative
divine, he says that the United States
Hag has not been seen in Georgia these
many long days; that Northern cap
ital and Northern ideas dura not
come here, or to nse his own words,
“They (the South) have rijected
them, and they are even to-day ma
king it impossible, gentlemen, for
yon to go down there and work, be
cause they look down on you be
cause you labor with the hand. I
say they make it impossible for you
to take your money down there be
cause they hold themselves every
where right withiu themselves; and,
I say that a new generation has
• sprang up there, and this new gen
eration is tanght all the old bitter
ness of the past.” All this in the
face of the fact that in this little
obscure county alone nearly half
million dollars of Northern capital
have been invested since the war, and
several of our most respected, influ
ential and useful citizens have come
here from the North since the same
date. “Because you labor with the
hand” forsooth! Tf there are half
a dozen men in this county who do
not “labor with the hand” we hav
never heard of them.
But enough of this inspired liar.
We say inspired, for nothing short of
inspiration, and that from the devil
himself, coaid have prompted his
utterances. We judge from the
comments of a local paper that his
audience was by no means cn rapport
with the speaker in the sentiments
referred to. It is jnst6uch marplots
«.» He that cause nearly all the trou
bles and misunstanding8 and un
friendly feelings that exist between
the different sections of this country.
When a preacher turns politician—
howeve”, we are about to get on a
delicate subject.
This iB not the first time Mr. Ake
has bad occasion to use his pen
against the slanderers of the South,
lie lifted a oorrespordent of the N.
Y. Tribune upon his pen point not
long ago, and held him up before the
people of the North as a slanderer
and a villifier. In the name of 0111
people we most heartily thank Mr.
Ake for his manly words in our be
half. We shonld publish his letter
in fall, but in order to enjoy |it most
one would have to read the address.

Snppei ting the Local Press.
Under the above caption we find
■ in the last Cartersville Free Press the
remarks appended below and they
so admirably fit the situation in this
place that we would not change t
word or syllable save to ask our peo
ple to read “Advertiser” and “Cedar..
towu” when Free Press and Carters
ville occur.
Every town and community of or
dinary propoitions as to business and
population want a newspaper. The
people are never satisfied until one is
established among them. With the
fairest promises of support some one
is generally induced to undertake
such publication. With high hojiee
of success the editor begins his work
Everydody is delighted with the new
enterprise and subscribe liberally fur
the local paper. It is an important
epoch in the town; it is something
new to the people, and they become
very enthusiastic over the uew ven
ture in the enterprise of their town.
A few pay for the paper in advance,
ithers promise to pay ‘ in a few days.”
A few of the latter class comply with
their promise, while avery large pro
portion never think of paying, aud
not a few become offended when tim
idly asked by the editor for the mon
ey. The result is that the editor be
comes discouraged to find that, while
he is doing all he can to promote the
public enterprise of the town, he is
being cramped for what is owing
him.
Tue merchants mid business class
are generally mug anxious for a lo
cal paper. They promise that the
new enterprise (tne paper) shall be
liberally sustained, because it is just
what the community needs to build
up its interests aud the general pros-
perity. Aud while everything is
fresh uud bright, and “the gsese
ditor is ejcr.-cted to nerve himself
lip boldly i j the work of building
up by liis weary brain and depressed
heart the gem ral good of the com-
mnnit^. Of course, there are always
exceptions, honorable and true, to
this selfish rule in all communities
The Free Press ought to hav? its
Columns well tilled with local adver
tising as an exhibition of the busi
ness enterprise of the town. We
inay talk year in and year out about
our fine country and our town ; but
our advertising columns give the lie
to all claims of enterprise we may
make. The truih is, we have no
heart for the work for that reason.
If onr columns were well and judi
ciously filled with lively advertise
ments, showing the enterprise and
public spirit of our bnsiuess men, the
effect would be that a great deal more
trade would seek our market. The
Free Press has the circulation to ac
complish the work and the energy,
too, with anything like proper en
couragement. Look at the paucity
of our local advertisements and see
if we are not writing the truth!
No town or comity really deserves
a local paper that has not sufficient
liberal enteiprise to sustain it wilh
a dec lit existence, thereby giving it
more power to promote aud push all
the interests of the community.
Nothing does more, to the extent of
capital employed, to build up a town
than a well-conducted and well-
sustained local pa| er. It tells the
public the story of the advantages of
the town and county. It is a con
stant worker for the public good.
Therefore, the editor should not be
kept constantly and pecuniarily em
barrassed for the want of a fair and
liberal support. Cartersville is eur-
rotfhded by the best country in Geor
gia. It ought to be one of the most
toriving towns in the State. With
a stiffer enterprise, imbued with a
more lively spirit of progress, it can
be made so. The Free Press desires
to make it so, but where is the en
couragement ? Examine our adver
tising columns and see, reader, if
you can find it.
What we hare written is true, and
we are prompted to write it for the
interest and benefit of this town and
county, and also in our own interest.
We ask not to be sustained as a mat
ter of public charity. We ask it as
a mutual benefit. We ask it to build
up Cartersville and Bartow county
and, in so doing, to promote the pros
perity of onr citizens generally.

Scribner’s and.the South.
The July number of Scribner has
come to hand without a line of allu
sion to its recent slanderous article
upon the South. We confess that
we were disappointed at this. It was
evident to us at first that some out
side hand had been playing ’prentice
amid Scrihner’s unusually fair aud
well written pages. It now trans
pires that the proprietors of the mag
azine are either stubborn enough or
weak enough to stand by the slanders
that- this hand has scattered.
It must be minded that we did not
invite Scribner to a controversy. We
simply called attention to the fact
that a charge had been made that
was not only sectional and partisan
and foreign to the scope and purpoee
of the magazine, but was deeply and
wautonly slanderous. Having done
this we asked in behalf of our people
and in behalf of the good name and
fame of the American people, that it
either adduce proof of its assertion
or withdraw its charge. If it sets up
the claim that it lias no room t'or
such argument and no taste for a
hasty withdrawal, then we reply that
it should neve" have found room for
the slander. Once having stepped
out of the line of its real scope and
purpose as a magazine and given its
indorsement to the viilianous slander
it was in honor and courtesy bound
to either make it good or withdraw
It has seen fit to do neither. It
may be that the South is not powerful
enough to make this powerful month
ly feel the just results of its cow
ardly course. It may even be that
the gratified venom of the partisan
northerners will-more than balance
the honest indignation of the South.
It may be therefore that in the prac
tical way of nioiu-y the magazine
will lose nothing. It must, however,
if it has a conscience, feel the sting
ing remorse of a wanton, brutal and
id am oils action, unrepented of and
unatoued. And it must know, if it
has any intelligence, that it has
shamefully lowered the character of
its magazine, and won the lasting |
condemnation of honest men iu ail
sections of the country. This may
restrain them in the future, if it does
not make them repent of and repair
the past—Constitution.

McDuffie county correspondence
Augusta Chronicle: Only a few days
ago, with my pick and' shovel in
hand, and an old frying pan, I went
forth to make some experiments in
simply washing the surface dirt on
a three hundred acre iol of Colonel
John R. Wilson’s, of this county.
The result was I found gold in every
pan full oi dirt I washed during the
day but three. I found it on this lot
in at least filty different places. Sure
ly, where there are such general in
dications, there must be rich veins of
gold near by, and certainly upon this
place alone, thousands upon thou
sands of dollars could be judicious' ■
invested. There are also many other
places where the indications are as
goad as this. Some as rich speci
mens as I ever saw have been lately
found on the Woodal land, now own
ed by General Toombs, and on land
owned by Gerald & Rees, who have
just commenced work with brilliant
prospects. Here, also, are the old
Columbia, Parks, Hamilton and Ross
mines, now lying idle for the want of
means to work them, which were in
ante helium times worked with pro
fit and can be made yet to give fine
yields, if the capital will oniy come
to test it. I therefore do hope that
ever paper with which yon exchange
will copy this letter and let it be
known that these rich mines are
herein the midst of civilization and
good so iety, and where there is as
good health and water as can be
found on the globe. Why should
our capita’ists and people go out to
the far distant Black Hills, arnopg
strangers and without comforts, when
there are ’such rich fields for labor
and investment qt home?

Criminal Epidemics.
A shudder passed over the country
a few weeks ago, when Freeman kill
ed his baby daughter, in obedience,
as he declared, to the express com
mand of God. What added incon
ceivable horror to the crime wa3 the
fact that his wife, who had been a
tender mother, consented to the
murder, and that it was approved by
the sect of fanatics in the towu in
which Freeman lived.
A common comment on the mat
ter has been that it was impossible
for all of these people to be insane
on such a subject; but the truth is
that morbid affections of the mind
are contagious, and have frequently
become epidemic to a frightful de
gree.
In 1334, when the black death was
ravaging the world, a band of fren
zied men, robed in black, covered
with red crosses, began their march
through Europe, scourging eacli
other as they went, until the blood
streamed, and singing maddening
so'.'g8, both religions and licentious.
This moral epidemic spread just
as the plague had done. Thousands

Sale of the State Road,
The Chronicle has noticed a state
ment in the Atlanta Sunday Gazett
to the effect that during the July
session of the General Assembly a
bill would be introduced providing
f or the sale of the Western and At
lantic Railroad. We know nothing
more of the matter than this, but
the statement was made with great
positiveness, and doubtless has some
foundation. In 1870 the lesse act
was passed, and tile road has been in
the hands of the lessees, at an an
nual rental of three huodred thou
sand dollars, for the past nine years.
The lease has still eleven years to
run, and a sale would have to made,
if made at all, subject lo the terms
of the contract. But it is safe to
say that if the property is disposed
of it will be sold to the lessees.
Other parties would not be willing to
wait so long a time before taking
possession. But the lessees would
take possession at once, as the lease
could be cancelled by mutual con
sent. In the lease the road was val
ued at five millions of dollars, aud
the State now receives six per cent,
upon this amount. The property

Epidemics of suicide have been
common. In Naples, during the
sixteenth century, “the patients,”
says Lecky, “thronged to the sea,
and chanting a wild hymn, rushed
with passion into the waves.” At an
other time, the women of the city of
Lyons, without cause, drowned
themseivea by the hundreds, and

disgraetd the body of a suicide.

dollars the bonded debt and this in

annual interest that the State now

sale of the State Road and the re

Notwithstanding the immense ob

and the heavy burdens thus placed
upon the shouiders of tlie Southern
people, the growth of prosperity in
the Sonth has been so wonderful
that it. siens will nigli miraculous.
Mr. Whitthorne shows that from the
close of the war in 1865 to tlie pres
ent time, industry has rapidly reviv
ed amongs us and the value of labor
steadily increased. He says that
“from 1809 to 1S78 there has bee
an increase of more than three mil
lion head of cattle and swine. Dur
ing the last eight years six million
more bales cotton hav; been produc
ed than were produced in tlie eight
years ending with 1861. l u 1S571
there were only seven and one-hall
million acres of cotton culiivaied
while in 1878 there were more than
twelve million. The gross earnings
ot the southern railroads are now,
in round numbers, $43,000,000 per
annum, and there has been a decided
increase in the growth of manufac
turing industries. lie further quotes

laborers in the Northern and Wes
tern estates are paid at tlie rate of
$7 per capita of the population, the
compensation of th- 1 same class of
laborers in the South exceeds $J0

With a population of 9,000,000, pay

Here is a capital lesson that may
well be impressed upon the memo
ry cf both young and old : Mr.
Spurgeon, iu walking a little way
out of London to preach, chanced
to get liis pantaloons quite muddy.
A good deacon met him at the door
and desired to get a brush and take
oil' some of the mnd. “Oil, no,”
said Mr. S., “don’t you see it is wet,
and if you try to brush it now, you
will rub tlie stain into the cloth ?
Ltt it dry, when it will come off easy
enough aud leave no mark/’ So,
when men speak evil o. us falsely—
throw mud at us—don’t be in a hur
ry about brushing it off. Too great
eagerness to rub it off is apt to rub
it in. Let it dry; by and by, if need
be, a little iff n't will remove it. Don
foster scandal about yoursilves t
others, or trouble iu a society, or
in a church, be haste to do some
thing. Let it alone; let it dry; it
will be easier eradicated than you
think in the first heat of excite
ment. Time has a wonderful pow
er iu such matters. Very many
tilings in this world will be easily
got over by judiciously “letting them
dry.”

A Deodorized extract of Petroleum,
The Only Article that Will Re
store Hair on Bald Heads.
Wliat the World has been
Wanting: for Centuries.
i .— 0
The greatest discovery of our day, eo far a? «
large portion of humanity is concerned, is CAR
BOLINE. an article prepared from petroleum, ar.d
which effects a complete and radical cure in case of
baldness, or where the hair, owing to diseases of
the scalp, has become thin and tends to fall out.
It is also a speedy restorative, and while its nee se
cures a luxuriant growth of hair, it also brings back
the natural color, and gives the most complete sat
isfaction in the using.^The falling ont of the hair,
the accumulations of dandruff, and the premature
change in color are all evidences of a diseased con
dition of the scalp and the glands which nourish the
hair. To arrest these causes the article used muit
possess medical as well as chemical virtues, and the
change must begin under the scalp to be of perma
nent and lasting benefit. Snch an article is CAR
BOLINE, and, like many other wonderful discov
eries, it is found to consist of elements almost ia
their natural state. Petroleum oil is the artiria
which is made to work such extraordinary results ;
but it ia after ft has been chemically treated and
completely deodorized that it is in properaonditi
for the toilet.was in far-off Rusoia that tiia
effect of petroleum upon the hair was first observed,
a Government officer having noticed that * partially
bald-headed sen-ant of his, when trimming th>3
lamps, had a habit of wiping his oil-besmeared
hands in his scanty locks, and the result was in a-
few months a mach finer head of black, glossy hair
than he ever had before. The oil’ was tried cn
horses and cattle that had lost their hair from tbs#
cattle plague, and the results were as rapid as they
were marvelous. The manes and even the tails cl
horses, which had fallen out, were completely re
stored in a few weeks. These experiments- wer-r -
heralded to the world, but the knowledge was prac
tically useless to the prematurely bald and gray, as
no one in civilized society could tolerate the use of
refined petroleum as a dressing for the hair. Bat tha
skill of one of our chemists has overcome the diffi
culty, and by a process known only to himrelf, he
lms, after very elaborate and costly experiment*, suc
ceeded in deodorizing refined petrdaum, which
renders it susceptible of being handled as daintily
as the famous eau tlx. cologne. The experiments with
the deodorized liquid on the human liair were at
tended with the most astonishing result- ® V few
applications, where the lrnir was thin an! falling,
gave remarkable tone and vigor to the scalp an 1
hair. ^ Every particle of dandruff lii-appears on
the first or second dressing, and the liquid *o search
ing in its nature, seems to penetrate to the roots at
once, and set up a rad cal i Lange from the start. It
is well known that the most beautiful colors a:o
mule from petroleum, and, by some mysterious
operation of nature, the use of this article gradu
ally imparts a beautiful light-brown color to iho
hair which by continued use, deepens to a black.
The color remains permanent for an indefinite len.gr
of time, and the change is so gradual that the m-c;
intimate friends can scarcely detect its progresj.
In a word, it is the most wonderful dfroevery of
the age, and wpll calculated to make the prema
turely bald aud gray rejoice.
