BBf .BWUES-VOL. M 0.38. WILL BUILD A FURNACE, Tba' slow Say% for . .. unit Associates. GRAND OPPORTUNITY FORCITY Blue Ridge company Must Have the Manufacturer's Profit to Utilize Ores. A company of capitalists will Tbuild a furnace to utilize the ores of the Blue Ridge Company’s and .other iron properties contiguous to ttbis city. That is what Mr. A. D. Meloy, of New York;, told Carters ville citizens gathered in a meeting at the council chamber Monday •.night. There was a good crowd of rep resentative men of the city present. Judge Milner was chosen chairman :and ©. B. Freeman secretary of the meeting. Mayor Ford introduced Mr. Meloy as one having large inter ests near here and wanted to talk to the people. Mr. Meloy’s talk had the ring of sincerity and all were impressed that there was gum in what he said. He said men who were his clients bad a year ago come into possession of the Etowah mining property; they had had thorough Surveys made and their ores care fully sampled; the reports were in and the matter thoroughly can vassed, and they had come to the conclusion that a furnace was a necessity to utilize the mineral product of their lands. Their en gineer, Mr. Kennedy, was engineer lor Carnegie for years, and three fourths of the great Steel Corpora tion’s furnaces had been built by him. 'The company must have the manufacturer’s profit. Thev might build a furnace '.v.: it in easy reach of the ore or within eu.iy reach of fuel. Their fuel must come by rail, and if they built close to it it would be away from here. A separate corporation from the Blue Ridge Company would ouild the furnace. It would require from a half mil lion to a million dollars outlay,and the money to build and operate it would, in g'eat part, be spent in the com inuni t>. It would require ido to 500 hands to mine the ores and a large number of highly paid mechanics to operate the furnace. He believed iron the one future element of profit for Cartersville and a furnace here would double the value of every foot of ground, every store, evcty franchise of any kind in tiie city. Steel works na turally follow a furnace. The con ditions were never more favorable for steel and iron interests than at present, and furnaces are now sell ing five and ten years ahead. What he and his company desir ed of the city of Cartersville, Mr. Meloy said, was that any site they might select might cost them noth ing and any franchises or right to run any railwav they might need they would expect to be granted them promptly and readily. They were not obliged to locate the furnace in Cartersville, and if built at a point well away from the city they might have their own community It was not their in tention, if locating in Cartersville, to have their own stores, the city thus having the benefits of what might be spent from the pay rolls, which would amount to no less ■than SBOO per week. In regard to a site, Mr. Meloy fcaid they would need 200 to 500 acres. After Mr. Meloy had concluded his remarks Judge John W. Akin affirmed the readiness of Carters vi 11 e people to respond to any wor thy cause, and made a motion, which was unanimously adopted, to the effect that the meeting hav ing heard with gratification, the re marks of Mr. Mclov, would give them hearty consideration and de clared its sympathy with his plans, and that the chairman appoint an advisory committee of five to con sider the matter and report pro gress at a future meeting. Remarks were made by Col. and Judge Milner urging the importance of favorable action hy the citizens. la lime. Soldby drootiHs. THE NEWS AND COURANT. A SECOND EARTHqUAKE. Throw* Mexican Town in the Wildest of Panic. THE PEOPLE OFCHILPANCINGO I Btlon, and ara Camping In tha Fialda. Mexico City, Jan. 18. —Chilpan- cingo, the capital of the state of Guerrero has had two days of in describable panic and consterna tion, for yesterday there came a repetition of the earthquake shock of Thursday, razing to the ground many houses spared in the first earthquake.

The buildings destroyed include the barracks of the Seven teenth battalion from which the soldiers were marched, thus sav ing their lives. The school build ings are wiecked but luckily the children were all saved, their teachers having rare presence of mind and giving the order for them to march to the street when the first trembling of the earth began on Thursday. The parish church which was being tepaired, having been injured in a recent eathquake, is destroyed. When the shock began it was nearly filled with worshipers who fled in dismay, women being knocked down by men, but fortunately all had gain ed the streets when the heavy 1 arches fell in. It is believed th it ■ every one escaped, though the sol diers are removing the debris, which is piled up in great heaps.

Sivaunali News. Rev. Bascoin Anthony says he intends to impress upon the minds of his fellow-members of the Min isterial Association the need to secure the services of Rev. Sam Jones in Savannah, about the time of the next city election. The matter will be discussed at the meeting of the Ministerial Associa tion that will be held to-day. “I have no doubt that the preach ers will agree with me, and that Mr. Jones will come,” said Mr. Anthony. “They may say what they please, everybody knows that the need for his presence here arises from the- condition of the city’s morals, and the fact that law is openly and flagrantly violated. If he is to come when he is needed and when he can accomplish the greatest good, it must be when the city is to decide wh shall manage its affairs and enforce the law. “I don’t care anything about men or crowd looks like the other to me. All I ask is that some one shall be put in office who win enforce the law and stand in his public character for decen y i and the right'. I think Sim Jones | can help ns to elect such a man.” CARTERSYILLE, GA„ THURSDAY. JANUARY 23, 1902. WILL BUILD A NEW DEPOT. Western and Atlantic Raiiroad te Erect Passenger Station. OF MODERN APPEARANCE. Will Be J-oeated In Front of and Between Market Streetaind Present Depot Maj. J. L. McCollum, superin tendent of the W. & A. Railroad, was in the city Monday looking after preliminory details for anew passenger station waich the road proposes to build. He had blue prints of his plans which he sub mitted to the city authorities, by whom they were approved. The building will be a pretty little structure, about 35 by 35 feet, not connected with, but im mediately in front of the present depot, just about filling the space between that structure and Mar ket street. It will have all modern conveniences. The present depot will have partitions removed and nearly all the space utilized for the freight business. There will be a ticket room, however, at the north end to which connection will be had with the passenger station by a sort of vestibule. magnificently grand. Suoh Id Florida's Palatial Hostfclryi the Ponce De Lean* Ponce de Leon Hotels St. Augustine, Fla., Jan. 16, ig§§, Editors News and Couraut: You may talk about fairies, and you may talk about trips to Fair land, and you may talk about trips to Dreamland; but no tiip to either Fairyland or Dreamland ever pre sented a more beautiful vision or gorgeous spectacle than the scene witnessed at the opening of the Ponce de Leon which occurred in St. Augustine on the 15th inst. The beauty, magnificence, and grandeur displayed throughout her walls —and I say “her” because she was too beautiful to be called a “he” surpassed even that of the Fine Arts display at that great never-to-be-repeated World’s Fair at Chicago in 1893. If the little cross roads hotel keeper who, with all the pompous dignity or dignified pomposity of a king, reigns supreme around and about his little shack, could have witnessed the opening of the “Ponce” and pierced his eyes up and down her corridors he would have felt like throwing up his hands, ‘‘going away back and sit ting down” and applying for a position as bell boy. All my life I have heard the expression ‘‘money to burn,” but this occasion offered my first oppor tunity to see that phrase put into practical operation. One could certainly smell the smoke in every nook and corner, and it was such as not to be offensive to the most delicate nostrils. It takes women and music and flowers (horses are not necessary) to make a success of anything that would be inspiring, and if any soul ever witnessed an occasion that presented more beautiful women, more handsomely gowned; more excellent music, more skillfully executed; more lovely flowers, more tastily arranged, it must have been one who had passed into the great beyond and gazed upon women, music and flowers that savored not of the things of this world, but had rather imbibed of that divine nature whish attaches not to earth ly lassies, chimes, and blossoms. The “Ponce” —the king of hotels has been heralded in the columns of perhaps every news sheet on the continent She is indeed the pride of the Company, and all her material is “the pride of the mill,” coming from the richest fields of the country. And her grindings are not in vci.\ for at the close of the day the tolls show that some thing has been doing. To pa iyto detail would be a colqssa) task Just imagine that King coronation t< ok place at)tne “Ponce*’ on the open ing night, and that will come near er telling the story than to try to tell the story itself Yours truly, T M- Gil&eath.
