THE DISTRICT PARSONAGE-
Home of Presiding Elder Trans
ferred From Dalton to This City,
The Methodists of the Dalton
district.north Georgia CAiferenee,
have located their parsonage in
this city. It has been heretofore
in Dalton. The property had
gradually got into a bad state of
repair until it was not thought
suitable as a home fortheelder and
his family; hence for several years
it has bein rented out and another
hem?secured for the pr acher. This
arrangtm nt, it seems,wasnot alto
gether satisfactory to the trustees
of the district property and they
decided to give Dalton'as well as
other towns a chance to have a
suitable parsonage provided. The
property was sold and the parson
age was offered to whatever town
would make the best offer, supple
menting the fund from the sale ot
the old parsonage with a sum suf
ficient for such new property as
might be desired.
The proposition was formally
made to the Cartersville church
and with wonderful enterprise was
met in a way satisfactory to the
trusties and the location of the par
sonage in this city was secured,
i'he necessary extra fund was
raised and the deal for suitab’e
property was made within a week.
The former home of Rev. Mr,
Hillhouse, on Market street, own
ed by Mr. PJubauks,was purchased
of that gentTeman, and Mr. Allen,
the presiding elder, with his family,
now occupies it.
This deal will cause the name of
the district to be changed,and in the
futture it will be known as the Car
tersville district.

The Cartersville Gun Club will

SPEECH if HON.
I. TERRELL:
Addresses People of the County at
the Court House
MONDAY AT NOON HOUR.
A Fair Sized Crowd Present—Taxa
tion. Prohibition and Other Is
sues Discussed.
Hon. Joseph M. Terrell opened
his speech here Monday by declar
ing he was making his race for
governor solely on his own merits
and record and not on the demerits
of others.
He had a fair sized and attentive
crowd and made a splendid im
pression.
When the democrats, he said,
got control of the state in 1872
there was a large bonded debt and
the bonds went at a rate of 7 and 8
per cent. The rate had been
brought down to 3 per cent, and
we can float bonds as low as any
state in the union and as low as
the general government. The tax
rate was four dollars on the thou
sand in 1872. Then the rental of
the W. & A. railroad was turned
into the state treasury, and this
with *he funds from special taxes
was used for inteiest on the pub
lic debt and th° support of the gov
ernment. The present fate of
$5 44 was because the people wish
it. It takes over one and a half
million dollars for the support of
the school system. The pension
system is another thing making
this tax necessary. The amend
ments to the constitutio allowing
pension legislation were voted on
by the people. Legislators were
always willing to do wbat their
constituents wanted, and there was
no reason to go out of the demo
cratic party for anything the peo
ple wanted, for legislators might
be instructed as to measures.
Our constitutional provision as
to taxation covers every species of
property in the state of Geoigia,
but much property of some cor
porations was not reached by our
legislation, for instance Hie fran
chise of quasi public corporations.
He could speak freely on the mat
ter because he had no interest in
any corporation, neither would he
have any, and fran:hises of cor
porations should bear their portion
of the public burden—equity and
justice demand such legislation as
will accomplish this result.
The pension matter had reached
high water mark and the require
ments would diminish from year to
year. The tax returns show an
annual increase every year and
that will effect a reduction in the
tax rate. When the rate is reduced
the government should be run on
economical lilies and a provision
should be made by an amendment
to our constitution that will fix a
low rate of tax beyond which no
legislature should be allowed to
go.
Alabama’s new’ constitution lim
ited rate of taxation and this feat
ure caused its ratification by the
people. Investors hesitated to put
their money where taxing powers
were unlimited;
The common school, Mr. Terrell
contended should be amended to
affect favorably tne country schools.
He referred to the bad system of j
payment of teachers and said, as;
in business matters, employes lose j
interest when payment was slow
or uncertain. “I trust,” said he,
“that no unfriendly hand shall be
laid on the system, but that it may
be brought to a perfect system by
the hands of its friends.”

“Endowment funds for higher
! institutions, should be exempted
1 from taxation.” lie said, “for like
J public propeity. it is used for the
I public good."
“Inspection fees on fertilizers,”
| lie said, “was a tax on the farmer
| in addition to his property tax.
j Legislation should apply that tax
) to the upbuilding of till agricul
tural interests of the state.”
Harmonious working of labor
and capital, the speaker contended,
had brought peace and prosperity
to the southern portion of the state.
Georgia should some day be reck
oned the Empwe Stare of the Un
ion. We haven’t talked our re
sources enough The state was
capable of suppoiting many mil
lions of people.
On the line of prohibition, he
believed the loc il option law wise,
safe and democratic; safe because
it leaves the question to the peo-*
pie; democr itie, because it makes
the law of the county what the peo
ple wish. While believing local
option wisest and best for the peo
ple, he would place no stitmbling
block in the way of ihe people who
want total prohibition, and if a
law on this line were made he
would see it enforced to the best of
his ability, both in the letter and
the spirit.
Mr. Terrell said he would not
go into the counties to dictate or
advise whom the people should
chose for their representatives.
On the question of lobbying he
said to say there was lobbying in
Georgia was a reflection on the
brave old hero that occupies the
executive chair. No lobbyist
would ever find.any comfort at his
hands.

The Place to Buy.

Gladdening Newness
Here, ~
Dress fabrics, furnishings and wearing apparel
for men and women are coming in daily. They
possess, as to style, quality and price: a satisfaction
that is pie sing and that our house obligates itself
at all times to give.
In the selling and distributing of merchandise
we do not claim everything—especially the impos
sible with a smattering of deception when you have
bought the goods—but we plainly assert we can
give you the best values, style, design, quality and
price that consistency will justify.
We do not boast, but announce to our friends
and the public that our business is one of continued
growth, each month proving a record-breaker over
the year previous. We have “no pull 1 ’ on the pub
lic, but attribute our success to our rigid and per
sistent ainvand desire to sell good goods of merit
and value at a profit, and not to deceive those who
would come in our establishment.
Remember, there is a bottom to every value —a
dead line to very position—a cheapness that proves
extravagant. These we do not stress or deal in.
We are strong this spring in every department—-
dress goods, wash fabrics, embroideries and laces
millinery, shoes, clothing, furnishing's, mattings,
and upon the assurance of best seryice and values
we invite and solicit your trade,

Cartersville, Ga., March 4, 1902.
Mr. Miller Gil eath, lr., Cartersville, Ga.
Dear Sir:—Yes, I have and am using Purina Feed
very extensively. Have used it for the last two years
and I consider it one of the best feeds ever used. It has
plenty of nourishment and keeps horses up well while
working hard in the livery, I also find it cheaper than
oats or corn straight. Yours very trulv,
