HEW COLLEGE
FOR PINE LOG.
Citizens Aroused to the Necessity
of Improvements-
MONEY BEING SUBSCRIBED-
Ideal Location for Large School
With Plenty of Material
Close at Hand.
Some time during last year some
of the leading citizens of Pine Log
discussed plans for the erection of
anew college building at this place.
A charter was requested, prop
erly advertised and granted, some
subscriptions were taken but the
management of the undertaking
discouraged some, and the matter
was finally dropped.
This spring, the lack of school
facilities together with Pine Log’s
unparalleled opportunities again
aroused her public spirited citizens
to heroic effort, the school question
was taken up in dead earnest, the
money is being subscribed, and in
a short time the buildings will be
in process of erection.
Plans have already been agreed
upon and the building will proba
bly be let out to the contractor
during the coming week.
The main college building will
be two stories high, with a wing
branching off from each side and
these will also be two stories high.
The building will be commodious,
-convenient, well-equipped and
modern in every part.cular. There
are several beautiful locations in
the village for the building, one of
which will be selected during the
coming week. All of the other
necessaiy buildings will be built
during the summer.
The people generally are enthu
siastic over the prospects and
everything possible is being done
for the success of the enterprise.
The school will be owned and
controlled by no religious denom
ination. It will be the people’s
school, owned and controlled
tirely by the people.
The young people who attend
this school, it matters not to what
denomination either they or their
parents may belong, meet upon
one common level, and are free to
enjoy the privileges of the school
to the fullest extent.
No sectarianism will be allowed
but the co operation and help of
all the denominations in the way
of patronage will be desired and
expected.
While no church will be allowed
any controlling power, the school
will be of high moral tone and the
best-in our boys and girls will be
developed.
Under the charter, the property
will consist of shares valued at $1
each and those who donate will be
the owners of these shares, and
therefore stockholders. The busi
ness of the institution will be
managed by a board of trustees,
these to be elected by the stock
holders, This places the institu
tion upon a good basis and will
give the school permanency and
durability.
The citizens of Pine Log are to
be congratulated for their wisdom
and foresight in formulating such
commendable plans.
Pine Log’s excellent location
will aid much in the success of the
school. No better location could
j)o found.
With daily mails from each
direction, being from ten to four
teen miles from the stations on the
W. & A. railroad, with the public
roads leading from these points in
first class condition, Pine Log is
easily accessible and very conven
ient.
For stable, progressive citizens
Pine Log can not be surpassed in
the county. The morals of the
district are above reproach. The
village is quiet and orderly at all
times. We are away from the
noise and bustle of business centers
and, at the same time in close
touch w’ith the outside world.
The farming lands of the district
are of the best. Almost every
agricultural product can be raised
bere with profit.
Four miles to the east lies the
majestic Pine Log mountain, fur
nishing excellent views of the
country and adding attractiveness
to the location.
The healthfulness of the district
cannot be too strongly emphasized.
This is further attested by the fact
THE NEWS AND COURANT.
Pine Log has but one physician
and he is not kept busy.
The water is pure and plentiful
the atmosphere is crisp and invig
orating and Pine Log is free from
epidemics of all kinds.
The school will be in easy reach
of three or four churches, which
represent the leading denomina
tions. The people as a rule, are
regular church-goers, free and
open-hearted in every way and a
healthful moral influence will be
thrown around students from a
distance.
The village of Pine Log is on
the route of the proposed new' rail
road and if it is built, and many
be.ieve that it will be Pine Log,
with its up-to-date school advan
tages and natural resources, will
certainly develop into a “Gem of
the Mountains.”

ATLANTA AND BIRMINGHAM-
Progress of the Work on the Old
Line and Extensions.
Cedartown Standard.
The old East and West road
will soon be a thing of the past,
and its successor in the railroad
world will prove its title to the
claim of being the finest roadbed in
the south.
And it is now claimed that trains
over the new line will be operated
into Atlanta by the 15th of July.
Already about twenty-five miles
of track are laid, reaching from
Dallas to the Mahaffey Gap to
wards the Chattahoochee river, and
the big iron bridge over that stream
is completed. The grade is finish
ed into Atlanta, the terminals and
big shops being completed.
The big tunnel at Braswell is
bored through, and will be soon
chiseled dwwn to a grade allowing
trains to go through. The cement
pillars for the iron bridge at Rock
mart are ready for the steel girders,
and the grade is now ready for the
rails over all gaps between Cedar
town and Rockmart, with the ex
ception of some finishing-up work
on the Bowers and Wimberly cuts.
Already the new' track has been
ballasted and surfaced up with
fourteen inches of slag, which
makes the roadbe 1 the finest new
track ever run over by a train of
cars in the south.
West of Cedartown the new lire
is now used bv the regular traffic
of the road, with the exceptions of
a few links at different points.
Barring the gaps between Tredegar
and Hayes, and Ragland and
Ohatchie in Alabama, the new road
bed is practically adopted from
Cedartown to Coal City. About
eight miles of track on the Bir
mingham end of the line have been
laid, the delay being occasioned by
the slow progress on the tunnels.
The prospect of an early entry
into Atlanta over the Seaboard,
making a quick run without a
change of cars, is gratifying to
Cedartown and Polk county people,
and with anew passenger and
freight station at the Main street
crossing for the convenience of our
people, Cedartown is confidently
expecting a train service second to
no city of her size in the whole
country.
The completion of the Birming
ham extensions will no doubt be
followed by a revision of our wes
tern freight rates, and Cedartown
will then assume her place in the
front rank of progressive and pros
perous cities in Georgia.
Arrested for Forgery.
A negro man giving his name
as Henry Rucker was arrested
Tuesday evening for trying to cash
a forged check at the First Na
tional Bank.
He presented a check at the
bank for $8.50, signed "G. R. Gib
bons.” The check was easily seen
to be a forgery, and Mr. J. S. Cal
houn called Marshal Henderson,
and turned the negro over to him.
Other checks were found in his
pocket, one on the First National
for $25 and one on the Bank of
Cartersville for $25, wiih the name
of C. M. Jones signed at the bot
tom. Another check for $8.50
bore the name of J. W. Stubbs.
The negro was carried before
Justice Waldrup, who bound him
over to the superior court. When
he was carried to jail he acknowl
edged his guilt.

CARTERSVILLE, GEORGIA, THURSDAY, JUNE 11)01.
L. i N. R. R. TO
CARTERSVILLE.
*
Right-of-Way Secured at Wet
more, Tenn-
OPTIONS AT CARTERSVILLE.
Route Surveyed Alortr the Line
of the Old Tennessee
Dirt Road.
For several months past survey
ors nave been in the field locating
a line for a railroad extending
from Wetmore, Tenn., along the
route of the old Tennessee dirt
road through Fairmouut to Car
tersville, thence to Marietta and
Atlanta, and later other parties
have been over the route securing
deeds to the right-of-way for the
road. In many instances the
right-of-way has been freely given,
and in others it has been purchased
and the cash paid for it.
Options have been secured on
several hundred acres of land adja
cent to Cartersville on the north
and east and on some lots within
the city limits.
That all of this means something
there is little doubt, but no one has
yet been found who will give defi
nite information as to what is really
intended. The Louisville & Nash
ville railroad is back of all these
movements, an I there is no duubt
that anew road will be built along
the line surveyed-
A recent issue of the Atlanta
Constitution says of this new rail
road.
OTHER EXTENSIVE OPTIONS.
But while the Louisville and
Nashville has made its way into
Atlanta even independently of the
Western & Atlantic, the road has
not been idle at other points. It
has secured large and extensive
options on rights of way in the
northern part of the state looking
to connecting lines between the
Western and Atlantic and the
Atlanta, Knoxville and Northern.
One of these options contemplates
a line from Dalton, from a connect
ion with the Alabama Great South
ern to Wetmore, Tenn,, on the line
of the Atlanta, Knoxville and
Northern. The other contemplates
a connection from Cartersville
which is reached bv the Seaboard
Air Line from Birmingham to
Jasper on the Atlanta, Knoxville
and Northern. According to
speculation in railroad circles here,
it seems most probable that the
latter line will be the one to be
built, because of the intimate rela
tions between the LouisvHle and
Nashville and the Seaboard. It
may be, however, that it will be
decided to put in both of these con
necting links, thus establishing an
intimate connection between the
Louisville aad Nashville and the
Western and Atlantic, with which
it will be intimately associated, at
least, for the next seventeen years.
That there are important changes
contemplated in the railroad map
for which the Louisville and Nash
ville is going to be responsible,
there is certainly no doubt. And
it is the general belief that they
will be carried out according to the
programme here outlined. The
Louisville and Nashville sees tre
mendous posssibilities in coming
into this section, and it has not
hesitated to spend enormous sums
of money in order to realize upon
them. What it means for Atlanta
can only be surmised; it means a
step in commercial progress the
results of which can scarcely be
estimated. -
The Law on Fishing-
For the benefit of those who are
interested in fishing and the pro
tection of fish we quote, by request,
the following from the acts of 1903:
Sec. 9 Be it further enacted that
it shall not be lawful for any per
son to catch or take any fish with
any seine, net or like device, from
any of the waters of this state,
between the first day of June and
the first day of September in each
year; provided that the provisions
of this section shall not be con
strued to forbid the catching of
fish by the means of cast nets or
hook and line.
The act provides that any per
son or association of persons vio
lating this section shall be deemed
guilty of a misdemeanor.

JUDGE A. W FITE
Talks of Politics arid His Future
Intentions.
Dalton Citizen.
Judge A. W. Fite was in the
city the first of the week, holding
a motion court.
The Citizen asked him about
his alleged collusion with Hutch
ens in Bartow county against Lee.
Said he: “I am as innocent of
that charge as any man can be. I
was at home sick from the time
I arrived there from Dalton until
after the election. I did not see
Hutchens, and was as much sur
prised at the result in Bartow
county as I was at the result in
Whitfield county.”
Speaking of what he intended
to do in the future, the judge said:
“I do not intend to be put out of
the judgeship so long as my friends
want me to serve them. When
mv opponents accord me a race
without opposition as the other
judgesofthe circuit have had, then
I w-ill retire, but not until then.
So long as the people of the circuit
want me to serve them I think it
my duty to do so.”
His idea of the election of judges
of the superior courts runs coun
ter to that advocated by the Citi
zen and nearly all the leading pa
pers in the state. He thinks the
present system correct if properly
safeguarded by the Australian bal
lot system. He also says the
charges of fraud in this and the
Blue Ridge circuit have been great
ly exaggerated. “Still,” says he,
“there is no doubt that fraud was
perpetrated iu the Blue Ridge cir
cuit, for,” says he, “I notice the
grand jury of Gilmer county has
found some true bills against some
election managers, who, it is al
leged, refused to let some demo
crats vote in the primary.”
When asked if he would run for
congress four years hence, he said
that was most too far off, “and any
way,” said he. “the judgeship suits
me very well.”

VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS-
Estimated That They Were $4,~
500.000,000 In 1903.
The department of agriculture
has issued a report on “the nation’s
farm surplus,’’ prepared by George
K. Holmes, chief of the division of
foreign markets. It gives $4,500,-
000,000 as a conservative estimate
of the value of the farm products
of this country, not fed to live
stock in 1903, on the basis of the
census valuation. The value of
the exported farm products of this
country in 1903 was $878,479,451,
and the highest value reached dur
ing the last eleven years was $951 ,-
628,331 in 1901, due chiefly to cot
ton. The value of the exported
farm products of this country is
concentrated mostly in a few prin
cipal products. Of it in 1903 cot
ton constituted 36 per cent., grain
and grain products 25 per cent,,
meat and meat products and live
animals 24 per cent., these pro
ducts equalling over 85 per cent,
of the exports of farm products
last year. Adding tobacco, whose
exports were valued at over $35.-
000,000, oil cake and oil cake meal
$19,839,279, fruits and nuts over
$18,000.00c, and vegetable oils
over $16,000,000, gives a total of
eight classes of products, each with
anexpoit value of over $10,000,000,
that comprise almost 96 per cent,
of the entire farm exports of 1903.
Within recent years, ending
with 1903, the cotton exports have
been between three and four bill
ions of pounds, and the exported
fraction of the crop has been be
tween 63 and 71 per cent, for a
long series of years. The report
also takes up the competition of
this country in foreign markets,
showing that this country is pre
eminently conspicuous in the Unit
ed Kingdom’s imports of cereals
and cotton, but is far behind its
competitors in dairy products.
