ALONG THE ETOWAH
Where a Busy lown Once
Did Flourish.
THE (iRAXI) OLD Hl'lN'S.
Suggestion Thst the Charming
Spot Remain as Nature
Has Made It
One of the truest accusations
thought by foreign tourists against
the scenery in our great America
is that everything is so painfully
new, writes Margaret Rankin
Wallace in the Atlanta Journal.
Even though our rocks and
h !;s and rivers are as old as theirs,
there is no glamout of old-world
romance hovering over them. I hey
have no historical association.
This is the accusation. So we,
with envy in our hearts, are begin
ning to seek out and to treasure
the few spots that hold any signif
icance of the past.
One spot vve have here in on.
own southland that we are not .
treasuring, and that would make |
any poet of the old world open his
eyes with wonder. He could eas
ily imagine it a bit of scenery from
his beloved Rhine, reproduced in
America in miniature.
Fifty miles north of Atlanta, on
the banks of a beautiful river and
nestled among the Etowah hills,
lie the ruins of an old town, not
simply the chimneys of ttimbled
down cottages, but great, towering
stone walls, which stand as memo
rials of the old south. At intervals,
for a stretch of six miles, we find
these ruins. So substantial were
the original buildings that in all
the years that have flown since the
town was destroyed they have
changed little in appearance. The
giant trees that have grown inside
the ruined buildings, towering far
above the walls, show the record
of the passing xeaJS/L VAQwa ' h
was one of the busiest places in
the entire south. The manufac
ture of iron in the state began here,
and gave employment to hundreds
of men. Twelve stone furnaces
show what the work must have
lueen. The ruins of the first roll
ing mill and nail factory in Geor
gia are found here.
The plan of the town is easily
discerned, and one notices the ru
ined walks of the bank, which was
one of the most imposing struct
ures in the place. The ruins are
near the water’s edge, and back of
these on the mountain sides can be
found traces of the homes of the
people. If one follows a winding
road for a mile or more up into the
mountains one finds the site of
beautiful old Holly/’ the
home of Major Mark A- Cooper,
the founder of the tcwn. It was
an elegant ante bellum homestead.
The long avenue leading tp ti e
house was'bouuded on either side
by beautiful holly trees.
Peace and happiness and pros
perity blessed the little town for
years. Then war in all its terrible
reality swept over it, the lighted
torch of the invading army leav
ing ruin and destruction in its
pathway. Even the railroad lead
ing to the iron works the soldiers
attempted to destroy, burning the
cross-ties; but the strong embank
ment is still there, and iron rails
are scattered beside it for miles.
The years have passed, and now
the beautiful old town and the
monument erected to its citizens
has become the Mecca to which
hundreds ot people flock every
summer. The old river road that
winds for miles along the Etowah
has become a veritable “lovers’

Healthy Mothers.

Mothers should always keep in
good bodily health. They owe it to
their children, Yet it is no unusual
sight to see a mother, with babe in
arms, coughing violently and ex
hibiting all the symptoms of a con
sumptive tendency. And why should
this dangerous condition exist, dan
gerous alike to mother and child,
when Dr. Bosehee’s German Syrup
would put a stop to it at once? >0
mother should be without this old
and tried remedy in the house—for
its timely use will promptly cure any
lung, throat or bronchial trouble in
herself or her children. The worst
cough or cold can be speedily cured
by German Syrup; so can hoarseness
and congestion of the bronchial tubes.
It makes expectoration easy, and
gives instant relief and refreshing
rest to the cough-racked consumpti*e.

PIJ T R LSCENT CARCASS
Republican Party is So
Denominated.
<)FFEKS KESIGN ATI ION.
Martin Wants no Further Rela
tions with the Farcical
Organization.
S. H. Martin, of Boynton, Ga ,
today forwarded to the chairman
his resignation as a member of the
republican congressional executive
committee, tor reasons which are
set forth in the document, which is
as follows, says the Chattauooga
News of August 19th:
Boynton, Ga., Aug. 18, 1904.
Mr. J. W. Dyer,Chairman, etc.,
Cave Spring. Ga.
Dear Sir —I herewith tender to
you my resignation of the member
ship I have some time held on the
so-called republican committee,
| Seventh congressional district of
Georgia.
One of my reasons for this action
is that I doubt whether there is
any republican party in the dis
trict, and I still more gravely
doubt whether there is such a party
in the state.
Being, and having been during
many years, a straightout republi
can, and being always anxious,
wherever I may be domiciled, to
subserve the interests of my party,
I am unwilling to longer maintain
any relation to an organization
which I believe to be a mere farce,
: a flimsy net in which tocatch fishes,
| and its leadership a mere distribu-
tor of loaves.
For forty years these fishermen
in the calm water ot federal pa
tronage have been wont to call
conventions, just as formally and
solemnly as if there had been an
actual organization throughout the
state, only to carry out a carelessly
bled—the only object of tile calls
being to get together a coterie of
men who are always ready and
willing to subserve their own inter
ests to the last ditch, but care noth
ing whatever for the republican
party, national, state or local.
Their sole purpose has been to
keep up an appearance of play be
fore the grand stand at Washing
ton, from which patronage is flung
about, too often without any safe,
reliable advice as to the character
and fitness of recipients. In fine,
the republican party, so-called, of
Georgia, has been composed of a
clique of designing men, who have
in all these forty years done noth
ing except to draw millions of doN
lars from the United States treas
ury upon the false pretence that
they were good and true republi
cans. Whatever feeble, actual,
articulate life the party in Georgia
ever had went out when Buck’s
life ended.
The administration at Washing
ton has from year to year, from
term to term, however, beeu whee
dled, cajoled, betrayed and swin
dled into au impression that the
thing to which it found itself at
tached in the latitude of Atlanta
was a live one, a living, healthful
unit in the general plan and organ
ism of republicanism, whereas it
has been chained, wrist to wrist, to
a corpse—no, not a corpse but a
carcass, and a putrescent carcass,
which might be suspected of being
that of a jackass were it not so
manifestly mongrel from nostril to
tail-tip.
I retire from your committee be
cause it is merely a joint’of this
unwholesome carcass, and does
not, and could not if it would,
help to subserve the interests of
the great national party to which I
belong, and to whose interests I
am sincerely devoted, whose wel
fare it shall ever be my pleasure
to promote.
Very respectfully,
S. H. Martin.

MALARIA &
Germ Infected Air. Mpl
Malaria is not confined exefwwvriy to the swamps ■
and marshy regiqns of the country, bat wherever there is
bad air this insidious foe to health is found. Poisonous
vapors and gases from sewers, and the musty air of damp KgHf |
cellars are laden with the germs off this.miserable disease, ftjwkrf
which are breathed into the lungs and taken up by the M&r
blood and transmitted to every part of the body. Then W
you begin to feel out of sorts without ever suspecting the rmJ
cause. No* energy or appetite, dull headaches, sleepy and IPwJb
tired and completely fagged out from the slightest exer- ft mi
tion, are some of the deplorable effects of this enfeebling ft
malady. As the disease progresses and the blood becomes 1
more deeply poisoned, boils and abscesses and dark or
yellow spots appear upon the skh*. When'the poison is
left to ferment and the microbes and germs to multiply in
the blood, Liver and Kidney troubles and other serious complications often
arise. As Malaria begins and develops in the blood, the treatment to b
Sae— effective must begin there too. S. S. S. destroy*
the germs and poisons and purifies the polluted
blood, and under its tonic effect the debilitated
fc—e/ constitution rapidly recuperates and the system is
* soon clear off all signs of this depressing disease.
S. S. S. is a guaranteed purely vegetable remedy, mild, pleasant and
harmless. Write us if you want medical advice or any special informs
tion about your caa*. This will cost you nothing.
