THE ADVERTISED ADVERTISER PUBLISHING CO. Cedartown, Ga., July 3. 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.

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. Stale News. On last Saturday, a girl, living several miles from Belton, and who was married last year before she was twelve years old, gave birth to a fe male infant.

Under the first bill he would have hud his marshals and pay for their ordinary and con stitutional services. Under the last bill he gets no pay at all for the mar shals. This statement is suilicient to show which party has carried its poi n L—Dispatch. • 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. Tildcn iu 1880. The New York Sun says: “If Mr. Tilden shonld be nominated liy the Democracy next year, it will be a most significant instance of the pop ular will asserting and enforcing it self against the most powerful, the most cuuning and the most resolute opposition.

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? General Items.

General Loring, who has just re turned from Egypt, was the highest in command of the American officers who had have been in the service of the khedive.

The great advantage of the telephone over the telegraph is thill the general can carry on confidental talk with the officer at the district station, or a soldier can creep out towards theenmy’s lines and whis per back the information as to posi tion. A fine wire—the thinner the better—is all that is needed. This the soldier carries on a reel upon his back, a mile weighing only a few pounds. This will be the first time telephone has been used as an in strument of warfare. 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.

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 titudes of the poor joined the mad i is certainly worth as much now as band. was nme years ago, and it is not Forty years later, the dancing : proouble that the Legislature would mania became epidemic in Europe, which was speedily orerrun with hordes of delirious men and women, whirling in frantic dances, until they fell, exhausted, and often died. The most violent and cruel punishments failed to check their frenzied waltz. 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 were checked onlv by a law which disgraetd the body of a suicide. Another strange delusion was that of a body of fanatics in Germany, who believed that God, to punish them, had turned them into wolves. They rau upon all-fours, balked, and even tore children.

If it should be disposed of for five millions of dollars the bonded debt and this in terest account of the State could at once be reduced nearly one-half. The annual interest that the State now has to pay on this bonded debt amounts to about $750,000. The sale of the State Road and the re tirement of five millions of the debt would take $350,000 from the inter est account and reduce taxation to that extent. If the Macon and Bruns wick Railread should be sold for a million the reduction of taxation would amount to $420,000, and tlie principal of tlie debt would be redu ced to about five millions. If these sales should be made it ■ is probable that a tax of only two mills on the dollar would yield a revenue suffi cient for the support of the govern ment.

Notwithstanding the immense ob stacles in the way of advancement, 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 statistics to show that while farm 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 per capita.

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.” We wish to suggest to the press admir rs of Governor Go quilt, who advocate liis renuminutioii, that run ning him exclusively on his piety and his ability to sling Sunday school literature, will not, in our opinion, be conclusive of success.

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.
